Dawn of Pokémon

The Champions Hall is located in the center of the Champion Square, the largest square in Miyuan City, and is also the center of the entire Miyuan City.It is said that not only the castle-like Hall of Champions, but also the three-color stone slabs used to pave the square are ancient products from the time when the league was not established more than 400 years ago.

When she came to Champion Square for the first time, Xiao Ye carefully looked at all the monuments and sculptures in the square, even the inscriptions on the corners of the stone slabs under her feet.However, after stepping on the stone slab that was said to be a precious cultural relic for the third time, Xiaoye could no longer raise any inquisitive mind. She followed her friends directly into the Alliance National Library under the Hall of Champions, and began to pretend to be half-crying, half-laughing. investigation.

Xiaoye was originally prepared to stay in the library every day and be mistaken for a student who was about to fail the class like she was investigating the Eclipse Rebellion. However, this time the progress was much smoother than she imagined.Tongye, who seemed to be relatively familiar with the Union National Library, quickly found the clues and invited everyone to come together and read.Four pairs of eyes and eight lines of sight crowded together, pointing at the words on the book.

"Decades ago, on the streets of Miyuan City, we could see such a figure - he appeared in the morning glow, wearing a black and white mask, and he could call out the clusters of flowers and white flowers with a flip of his hand. Birds bring endless joy to passers-by at the beginning of the day.”

"He was known as the 'Masked Magician' and was one of the most outstanding street magicians of his era. Born in the last century, he was on the stage of the largest magician in the country when he was only twenty years old. This pioneering The young man who has created countless new magic techniques and caused an uproar in the magic world has an unshakable habit - every morning at 06:30, he will appear on the streets of Miyuan City on time and present the most exciting magic tricks to every stranger he passes by. Magic. This is because he grew up in Mihara City and knows that this is a fast-paced city with high pressure of work and study. Therefore, he hopes that his magic can bring a little strength to the hard-working people, so that they can cherish their dreams. He threw himself into the day's work with a relaxed and happy mood. People at the time called this the 'miracle at 06:30 in the morning', and every day there were people who went out early specifically to watch his magic show."

"He rarely shows his true face in public, and the half-crying, half-laughing mask is his personal symbol. Many people believe that he should be a superpower, and he himself has not denied this statement - those colorful magic tricks It really looks like it is accomplished with the help of superpowers. It is said that Masked Magician loves Pokémon, especially ghost-type Pokémon. He not only conquered a dream monster as his partner, but also served as a dream monster many times. Wild Ghost is invested in the protection of Pokémon. He is also a philanthropist and donates almost all of his savings to children in impoverished areas."

"Although the car accident caused this young magician to leave us forever, the world will remember his contribution and the amazing magic he performed."

——"World Magician Vol.01"

After reading this page, the four of them looked at each other and immediately went to the front desk to complete the borrowing procedure.After leaving the quiet library, Xiaoling could finally let go of her voice and slapped her thigh firmly, "Absolutely, the mask in the illustration is exactly the same as the one in our dream!"

"It is said that in order to commemorate Mr. Masked Magician, a set of stamps with the mask pattern he wore was issued at that time. What I found should be one of them." Kiriha deduced while flipping through the thick books.

"However, this Mr. Magician did die in a car accident in 921 of the Elven Calendar, that is, 80 years ago, right?" After carefully confirming the birth and death years of the Masked Magician again, Xiao Ye asked doubtfully, " Why do we suddenly dream about his persona?”

"There are many possibilities." Xiaojie said, "For example, someone with evil intentions instructs Pokémon to attach the energy of nightmare moves to items, causing the urban legend we heard to spread throughout Miyuan City. Use this to secretly achieve certain goals. Or..." Although he was standing in the bustling Champions Square, he still carefully lowered his voice, "The soul of the magician may not have left the world."

As he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Ye and Tong Ye staring at him with wide eyes, which made his heart thump. He secretly wondered if such a statement was too exciting for people other than superpowers.

Before he could hesitate to open his mouth to make amends, the person opposite could not help but speak.

Xiaoye: "Uh, what did you say?"

Tongye: "Sorry, it's too noisy here, I couldn't hear you clearly..."

Xiaoling: "Speak louder, brother, didn't you have breakfast?" (Contempt)

Xiaojie: "...I mean it may be the soul of the dead magician who is causing trouble!!" (crazy)

Xiaoye: "That's it. Then I'll try to release the Ghost Stone to defend myself tonight."

Kiriha: "Well, it's definitely worth a try, but unfortunately I don't have any psychic or ghost Pokémon..."

Xiaoling: "It's a small thing, I'll lend it to you! But brother, why don't you even dare to say this loudly? Are you afraid of ghosts? How pitiful." (Sympathetic look)

Xiaojie: “…………”

The golden-haired boy, whose sincere worries had been wasted, just wanted to butt his head against the bronze head of the sculpture.

After all, the four of them couldn't stand the noise in the square, so they randomly found a cafe with a private room on the street to continue their discussion - although half of the reason was because the ice cream painted on the sign at the door looked delicious.

"In short." After banging his head, the golden-haired boy calmed down and knocked on the table. "There are two biggest possibilities now. Someone is using the name of the Masked Magician to cause trouble, or the Masked Magician's soul remains in the world. They are playing tricks on each other, although both of them are very incomprehensible... there should be nothing to plot with us."

"Since this urban legend has been spread throughout Mihara City, many people should have had the same dream. It would be very laborious to use the 'Nightmare Move' on such a large scale, right?" Kiriha put forward his own doubt.

"Yes, you can only do it if you are good at controlling dreams." Xiaojie nodded, "For example, the dream demon clan, or - illusion-type superpowers."

Illusion type superpower?Xiaoye and Tongye looked at each other, this word was not familiar to people without super powers.

"It was mentioned in World Magician that Mr. Masked Magician himself is likely to be a person with super powers." Xiaoling took over the conversation, "People with strong mental power are more likely to become wandering spirits after death than ordinary people. Moreover, the magician died in an accident, so it is not surprising that his unwilling soul did not dissipate, but continued to wander in the world. If his soul had lost itself over a long period of time and turned into an evil spirit... It makes sense that it would give people nightmares with such unclear motives.”

The four of them were silent for a moment.

Although Xiaoye and Kiriye are not children from a family of superpowers, they are more or less aware of the rumors of evil spirits.There is no doubt about the existence of souls. Ghost-type Pokémon themselves are creatures similar to souls; and the souls of people with strong mental powers or who died in intense emotions are more likely to remain in the world and become wandering spirits.When the wandering souls gradually lose their memory and the ability to think and judge during their lives, some of them will gradually dissipate, and the other wandering souls with deep obsessions will become hostile to other creatures and attack everything regardless of friend or foe. of evil spirits.

Xiao Ye once saw an evil spirit on the top of the Ziyuan Town Soul Bone Tower, and she knew how dangerous a creature it was.If there really is a soul full of resentment that secretly harms people behind the scenes, and even the scope of influence can spread throughout Miyuan City, such an incident will not be able to be handled by a few free trainers.

"But..." Tongye's hesitant voice broke the silence.He turned the page of "World Magician" in his hand forward - it was a photo of a masked magician and a child on the streets of Mihara City. Although the magician's expression was hidden behind a half-crying, half-laughing pattern, But the children around him smiled so brightly that you couldn't help but smile along with them.

"This Masked Magician is a very kind person, right? Even if such a person turns into a wandering spirit... he probably won't harm the people of Mihara City." After all, he had wanted to share his power with this person during his lifetime. A city where everyone who lives here can live happily.

"...That's right." Xiaoling, who had accidentally speculated on good people with malicious intentions, suddenly became frustrated. She threw herself on the table and made a face full of tears.

Tongye suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, and patted the girl's shoulder comfortingly, "But at least now we can take the next step."

"That's right. Xiaoling, look here." The young man pulled his sister up from the table carelessly and pointed to a line of words in the book. "People at that time called this the 'miracle at 06:30 in the morning.' Every day There are people who go out early specifically to watch his magic show - do you understand anything?"

"...Ah!" Xiaoling slammed the table hard, "It's not 06:30 in the evening, it's 06:30 in the morning!"

Therefore, the urban legend expedition team decided on tomorrow’s itinerary—to go to the Hibiya Line terminal again at 06:30 in the morning.Tongye was originally a little worried about whether he would be able to get up in time as a naturally awakened person, but after being "comforted" by Xiaoling, he suddenly felt depressed and no longer worried.

Xiaoling: The nightmare will definitely wake us up at five in the morning anyway! (cheerful)

After lunch, the golden retriever brother and sister happily dragged the other two back to the training ground at the Pokémon Center and started playing doubles.However, because one of them was too strong, the fight turned into an unfair three-on-one situation for some reason.

This time Kiriha did not use his starting Pokémon Geranium, but instead sent out Hoenn's Pokémon Tropical.Unlike Geranium, which has a gentle personality, Tropical Dragon has a much more violent temper. If he gets impatient, he will push all three other Pokémon to the ground and rub them, which makes Tongye feel that he is bullying the newcomers based on his status as a senior. .

As a result, the "considerate" newcomers were afraid that their seniors would feel sorry for themselves, so they immediately changed the fire Pokémon, and in a tacit understanding, they began to use the team fighting skills they had developed in the Artificial Phoenix King plan - this time, Tropical Dragon was almost rubbed. , so angry that all the fruits on its neck fell to the ground.

He became even more angry when he found that the golden retriever picked up the fruit that fell on the ground and ate it.

Tropical Dragon's attitude of being about to run rampant in the street made many trainers turn around. Even Xiaotian and Xinghai at the other end of the training ground heard the movement and took a look.After hearing the whole story, the mature and steady investigator immediately expressed his deep sympathy and heartfelt care for Tropical Dragon, and calmly ate a banana that fell from Tropical Dragon's neck.

If Xinghai hadn't quickly taken out Tropical Dragon's favorite banana fruit as a return gift, the poor Tropical Dragon might have burst into tears on the spot.

The six people's special battle training continued into the evening.During the break between battles, the expedition team supplemented each other with some precautions for tomorrow's operations.Xiaotian seemed to be vaguely aware that they were chattering about some strange topic, but when Xiaojie and Xiaoling looked like "Ask us now", Xiaotian didn't want to explore at all.

This makes the Golden Retriever brothers and sisters happy that their acting skills are working, but they also feel a little miserable - how disliked are they by their teammates?

After dinner, the sun had just set, and the expedition team said good night to each other with a serious and heroic look, preparing to rest early to face tomorrow's "battle".

——Maybe the truth is hidden in the next "miracle at 06:30 in the morning."
