Dawn of Pokémon

"Quick Dragon, Dragon Wave!"

The awe-inspiring voice of Xinghai with hints of anger penetrated the sound of rain, and blue dragon flames ignited all over the mountains and plains, like a cage of flames, trapping the three water monsters in the center, and they could only continue to emit harsh whines.

The glow surrounding Xiaoye had long since dissipated.Seeing the powerful first-level investigator turn the tide, Xiaoye should actually be happy.

But... now she just wants to become a mushroom in the cracks of the rocks.

Xinghai is a waveguide messenger. If he arrived after noticing the movement from the ruins, then his waveguide detection should have locked onto this area long ago.

And the lines she yelled out in order to attract the attention of the Water Monster, such as "Come on, knock me down"... I'm afraid they were all heard word for word.When she thought of this, Xiaoye felt that the only way she could survive was to hit her head on the ground immediately to make herself forget the memories of tonight.

Looking at the endless flames on the horizon, the girl's eyes were filled with despair and death even though her life was in danger.

At this time, the sea of ​​​​stars flying in the night sky with Kuailong had already forced the three unknown foreign objects into a desperate situation.The crystal blue, which has the same origin as Xiao Ye's power but is as powerful as a god, presses forward step by step. The shining bow and arrow pierce the sky, piercing the enemy one after another.

Obviously, they are powerful enemies that are difficult to defeat even at the risk of life in Xiaoye's opinion, but to Xinghai, they are just insignificant little characters.

Although she had just experienced a desperate crisis, and even almost died under the claws of the strongest defense agency in the ruins, Xiaoye was best at staying calm even though she was half-dead, and it was no problem to hold a rant in the middle.The light pattern on the altar under her feet was still flickering. Xiaoye took a few steps forward to see clearly the battle process in Xinghai.

Before she had gone far, Xiaoye felt her arm being pulled.Xiaoye, who had temporarily lost her detection ability, immediately turned around and was relieved when she saw the familiar silver-haired person, "Xiaotian?"

The rainy night was too dark, and Xiaoye couldn't see the expression of the boy behind her.Feeling a force coming down her arm, Xiaoye had to take a few steps back with the force, and then heard Xiaotian's voice that seemed to be the same as usual, "Stay away, it's very dangerous."

Xiaoye obediently followed Xiaotian down the steps and retreated to the bottom of the altar. For a moment, she was just glad that Xiaotian didn't mock her for her inappropriate lines at the first time.

A year ago, Xiaoye once heard Xiaotian say that this ruins was built more than 700 years ago.At that time, people were troubled by the continuous rains, so they built this altar to pray to the sea god for good weather in the coming year.The "Water Monster" is the last defense mechanism set up by the builders of the ruins to prevent outsiders from coveting Poseidon's treasures.

Xiaoye didn't know if Xinghai thought of "Water Monster" as referring to a puppet that controls water flow through unknown means and can attack independently, rather than the ancient term for water Pokémon, but Xinghai's actions were obviously calm and measured. As if everything is under control, just the sight of his back is reassuring.

Amid the roar of Kuailong, the water monster did not last long.Perhaps because their energy was finally exhausted, they fell into the lake and returned to their original formless state.

The golden dragon Pokémon slowly landed on the ground carrying the young man.Seeing Xinghai jump off Kuailong's back, Xiaoye smiled and took a step forward, "Thank you, Mr. Xinghai, you've been a big help..."

Exploding thunder interrupted Xiaoye's words.With the white light of thunder and lightning, Xinghai's face, which was obscured by the shadow of her bangs, finally came into Xiaoye's eyes clearly, and she was so frightened that she almost bit her tongue.

The dazzling electric light penetrated into Xinghai's blue eyes, reflecting the angry expression on the young man's face.

……what?

The jungle at the back of the mountain where it was raining heavily was really not a place to talk.Xinghai released his Tyrannosaurus and flew back to Zhenxin Town with the two children.

Of course Xiao Ye has no problem with this.In other words, after seeing Xinghai's expression, Xiaoye felt that he might want to hang himself under the dragon's claws and shake him violently.

Even though Xiaoye tried hard, she still didn't understand why Xinghai became furious.

The festival in Zhenxin Town is still going on.Neither thunder nor a few large water birds in the distant mountains affected the normal progress of the May Festival. According to tradition, this annual festival will continue until twelve o'clock in the night.

Xiaoye temporarily followed Xinghai to his and Xiaotian's home.After sitting down in the living room and seeing Xinghai with a dark face as if he was having a long conversation, Xiaoye consciously took the lead in confessing and told everything she had seen.

Xinghai, who was in working mode, still looked serious, but at last he didn't look like he wanted to eat people.He recorded everything Xiao Ye mentioned on his mobile phone and checked the key points a second time.

"'I want to destroy this town, just like five years ago,' is that what he said, right?" Xinghai marked this sentence with an emphasis mark.

"Yes." Xiaoye nodded, "Before this, he also said a lot of nonsense that didn't form sentences. He seemed to have mentioned someone's last name... but I don't remember this part very clearly." The other party's speech was completely meaningless. It's logical. Unless you turn on the tape recorder on the spot, no matter how good your memory is, it's impossible to retell all the nonsense.

"I understand. I will notify the search department to arrange the investigation." Xinghai nodded and put the phone back on the table. "Now let's talk about more important issues."

"...Eh?" Xiaoye keenly noticed that the face of the young man opposite him became fierce again, and she immediately shivered, and carefully glanced at Xiaotian next to her - and for some reason, she was completely ignored by her always reliable friend.

"You repeated the words of the black-robed man on the altar to the defense mechanism known as the 'Water Monster' because you found that he might have activated the mechanism, so you wanted to use these words to attract their attention and prevent They're going to attack True New Town, right?"

"Yes." Xiaoye nodded repeatedly.

"Then, you followed the man in black robe out of town to fight because you sensed his malice toward Zhenxin Town and wanted to keep him away from Zhenxin Town so as not to affect the May Festival, right?"

"Yes." Xiaoye continued to nod.

"You acted alone and didn't publicize it widely because you were afraid of causing panic among the masses and ruining the rare festival, right?"

"...Yes." Although Xiaoye had a vague foreboding, she still nodded repeatedly.

"You did a good job. You protected the order of Zhenxin Town, suppressed the danger, and prevented the important May Festival from being interrupted. I must commend you for your bravery. Then, please tell me." Xinghai stood up from the sofa. Standing up, he walked up to Xiaoye step by step with a kind smile on his face, "When I, the first-level investigator of the Kanto region, stand next to you——"

The light from the overhead fluorescent lamp was blocked by Xinghai's tall figure, leaving only a shadow cast on Xiaoye.

"Why don't you let me help?"

Before understanding what Xinghai meant, Xiaoye was frightened into a trance by the tidal pressure. When she heard Xiaotian next to her sigh, she thought inappropriately: This sentence...has anyone said it before? Pass?

...Well, it seems that it was Xiaotian who said it.

But now Mr. Xinghai’s expression is much scarier than Xiaotian’s...

Xinghai didn't seem to intend to hear any reasonable answer from Xiaoye. He didn't even notice that Xiaoye's mind had wandered [-] miles away. He put a hand on Xiaoye's shoulder "kindly" and said, "You know, If I hadn't noticed the waveguide power when you attracted lightning and hadn't rushed over immediately, you would be dead now - don't deny it, I can see where the limit of your waveguide power is. Knowing that you might be in danger You still choose to act alone, do you think I will think that your life is not as important as having a night at the festival??"

"..." Feeling the warmth from the palm on her shoulder passing through the clothes, Xiaoye felt rare and speechless.

She knows that Xinghai is an excellent investigator, and she also knows that Xinghai has always been accustomed to doing his best to protect others, whether they are acquaintances or not.And her behavior is as if she doesn't trust Xinghai's ability at all. It is inevitable that Xinghai will be angry when she is questioned in this way.

"I'm sorry." Xiaoye, who was about to ball up under Xinghai's momentum, bowed her head and apologized honestly, "I didn't handle this properly."

After staring at Xiaoye angrily for half a minute, and seeing that she seemed to be really planning to repent, Xinghai sat back on the sofa and said, "I don't mean to blame you. Of course it's good to have the will to protect others." As he said that, the young man shook his head helplessly and murmured in a low voice, "Really, I always feel that a child as annoying as you has met someone a long time ago..."

Seeing that Mr. First Class Investigator had finally lost his temper, Xiaoye cautiously transformed herself from a ball back into a normal-sized human.Xiaotian glanced at Xiaoye, not wanting to sympathize with this guy who had made the same mistake not for the first time.

Noticing that the captain next to her was looking at her, Xiaoye felt that she should express herself after making a mistake, so she turned to look at Xiaotian, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I won't act rashly again."

Xiaotian raised his eyes nonchalantly, unable to tell whether he believed it or not.

"And my escape ability is very strong. In most situations, I can run away even if I can't defeat you."

"..." It's okay for Xiaoye not to say anything. When he mentioned this, Xiaotian immediately remembered how this old man stood on the altar a few ten minutes ago like a MT, full of hatred and no intention of running away, and he suddenly couldn't bear it. stood up.

Night:"?"

"I'm going to get the medicine kit."

After squeezing out these words through his teeth, Xiaotian quickly walked into the back room.Although his movements were still restrained and polite, Xinghai, who knew his son's thoughts well, still saw that he wanted to slam the door to vent his anger.

The young man shook his head dumbfounded, feeling that he had used up a month's worth of sighs in one day.

Borrowing the medical kit from Xiaotian's house, Xiaoye quickly bandaged her arm - in fact, she had forgotten about the scratch, which was neither deep nor shallow, until she saw the tragic holes in her sportswear. Later I felt the urge to cry.

The speed of damage to the jacket in the past month made Xiaoye, who had the EX level poverty attribute, completely unwilling to accept the reality. She felt that if she continued like this, she would be begging again.

Later, Xiaotian called the others and briefly informed them of the progress of the matter.Now that all the pending matters have been completed and the time is approaching twelve o'clock, Xiaoye no longer disturbs Xiaotian and his son, expresses her gratitude and apology and decides to leave.

"I'm leaving, see you tomorrow." Xiaoye stood outside the door and waved to Xiaotian at the door.

Xiaotian seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Are you busy tomorrow?"

"Not really." The fixed schedule during the holidays is only for training, which can be changed at any time.

The silver-haired boy nodded, his tone as calm as if he was saying "It's raining heavily today", "Then come to my house to play tomorrow."

Night:"……"

……Huh? ?
