Dawn of Pokémon

??

The Union National Library is open 24 hours a day and is rarely closed.Even though the night was getting darker, the administrator did not disturb the people stationed in the museum, so Xiaoye was able to copy down all the contents of the text message word for word.

In this text message of only a few hundred words, Xiaoye saw too much unfamiliar information.Himi in the West is also a famous noble in modern times, but the "Narukami" or "Fire People" mentioned at the same time are not in the common sense of most people.The Messenger of the Lake must be the name of the Three Holy Mushrooms, but Xiaoye has never heard that they have ever left the Sinnoh region or even reached the distant Red Lotus Island.The last name of the man suspected of guiding them, "Kassel", was slightly familiar, but Xiaoye couldn't remember where she had heard it.

And these contents are far less interesting than the "monster with black body and wings on its back".

Xiao Ye has seen them twice.One was at the bottom of a line of canyons on the outskirts of the light red city, and the other was during the solar eclipse on Honglian Island - the latter scene was too similar to the newspaper records from 500 years ago.The sun turned pitch black, and monsters emerged from it, but Xiaoye never thought that these unknown creatures might jump out of the sun and kill people on the ground.

She instinctively felt that she had indeed touched something that had been hidden for a long time.The existence of those monsters is probably the real reason why the Alliance destroyed the history related to the Eclipse Rebellion.

The briefing mentioned that "the monster is consistent with the form of the legendary abyss demon that appeared during the Glorious Era."The term "Abyss Demon" is too unfamiliar to all modern people. Xiao Ye can only think of strange online games, but the tone of the text writer seems to be that everyone understands what an Abyss Demon is, and there is no cost. No words to explain it.

Xiaoye knew that the "Glory Era" usually refers to around the first year of the Elf Era, which was about 1000 years ago.The origin of this statement is unknown, and there are many different explanations circulating in historical circles.The only thing that can be determined is the origin of the "Elven Calendar" - when war destroyed human society to the point of collapse, the flying mythical beasts brought life to the scarred earth. To commemorate this miraculous scene, we witnessed miracles Humans changed the Western Yuan calendar to the Elven calendar and still use it today.

This is something that is covered in every elementary school history textbook, and it does not include any words related to the "Demon of the Abyss".Besides, there are no gods or demons in this world.

"Sooner or later, the Eclipse Rebellion will happen again, and there is not much time left..." Xiaoye softly repeated what the boy from the Guanghui Society once said.

If this sentence is not nonsense, the meaning it contains is too terrible.

With all kinds of heavy thoughts, Xiaoye returned to the Pokémon Center.Although the truth of the Eclipse Rebellion is extremely disturbing, the Quartz League is about to start, so Xiaoye cannot always waste time on this matter.

She secretly noted down all the doubts and decided to continue exploring them in the future.

June [-]th.

This is the last day that Saya and her friends will live in this Pokémon Center.The player village will open tomorrow, and contestants need to check in as soon as possible before the start of the competition - if they go too late, once the dormitories in the Pokémon Center are sold out, they will have to spend high prices to stay in nearby hotels.

Xiaoye's investigation into the Eclipse Rebellion has come to an end, and there is no need to go to the Alliance National Library again.Little Pichu actually became depressed after hearing this. He must have been unable to let go of the running wheel in the Pokémon entertainment area in the library.

This made its dedicated owner start to consider whether to buy a hamster cage for Pichu - oh, should it be called an electric mouse cage in this world?

Of course, we can discuss shopping for a cage later.

Xiaoye is not a person who is good at enriching her life.The way she spends her free time is very simple, training is almost the only option.Coincidentally, there were not many people at the training ground today, and Xiaoye's roommates had all left the house early in the morning. Only Tongye remained at the Pokémon Center, and conducted special pre-game training with Xiaoye.

——They say they are together, but in fact they are just using adjacent venues to train separately. Xiaoye does not want to cause friction in front of Kiriha-senpai’s tropical dragon.

"The Pledge of Fire."

Countless pillars of fire rose up along with the flying trajectory of the fire-breathing dragon, rumblingly igniting a corner of the training ground.The trapped Gyarados immediately waved its water tail, with a somewhat stormy momentum.

The rising pillars of fire were extinguished one by one, and facing his old opponent, Charizard had no intention of retreating.The last pillar of fire unrelentingly created twice as much light. The fire-breathing dragon took a deep breath and fiercely threw the large flame in.

I'm afraid I'm addicted to explosives.

Charizard has never been good at combo skills, and the result of the "fusion" of Big Character Explosive Flame and Fire Oath is not much better than the overheating of the Red Lotus Gym battle.The collision of flames caused a big explosion, and the wave of fire suddenly spread around. Xiaoye was just about to take two steps back to avoid the heat wave, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw what seemed to be a white shadow on the edge of the field.

The fluttering sleeves were blown up by the hot wind, but he was still walking slowly into the venue, and he was about to be swallowed up by the flames.Sensing that the situation was not good, Xiao Ye had no time to rescue her. When she was about to instruct Gyarados to extinguish the flames, the scene in front of her made her pause.

The visitor was wearing a kimono that was so white that it was almost dazzling. The spotless pattern of the feathers was raised and dancing in the blazing wind.The flames that were flying around seemed to have seen their nemesis, and they consciously avoided it "tremblingly". In the sky full of flames, only a silent vacuum formed around the boy in white.

He walked through the sea of ​​fire step by step, the rhythmic sound of grass shoes stepping on the ground gradually approached, and then stopped in front of Xiao Ye.

"Xingyuye, right?" he asked straight to the point.

Xiaoye was stunned, "Yes, who are you?"

The young man did not answer immediately, but looked at Xiao Ye with an undisguised and somewhat scrutinizing look.

Xiaoye was very sure that she had never met the person in front of her during her nearly half-year journey, otherwise she would never have had any impression of him.

The young man has short pale blue hair, and the belt tied between his white clothes is the same color as his hair.His kimono was meticulously worn, quite a bit of a tight fit, but there was a wooden sword hanging on his waist, which gave him a sense of sharpness.The young man's eyes were a bright, almost dazzling golden color. At a glance, it seemed as if he could see dancing flames in them. It made people suddenly think that the flames had not been extinguished, but were all living in the eyes of the person opposite. middle.

Just standing there without saying a word, he looked dazzling and full of presence - if his height were not half a head shorter than Xiaoye, he might look a little more majestic.

"Bai Lan." The boy in formal kimono simply introduced himself, but Xiaoye couldn't understand his next words, "I will be the tester this time. As usual, we can start the battle."

"...Huh? What did you say?" Xiaoye doubted for a moment whether what she heard was Alliance language.

The young man named Bai Lan frowned, "I'm referring to the regular testing mentioned in the letter."

Night:"……??"

Bai Lan: "..."

The two of them were relatively speechless. Because the atmosphere was so weird, even Tong Ye next to him looked over with some worry.In the end, Xiaoye hesitantly broke the awkward silence and said, "I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean...did you admit the wrong person?"

Could it be that there is someone with the same name as her in the Pokémon Center...?At least Xiaoye didn't understand what the other party meant by "tester" and "the scheduled test mentioned in the letter". She was as confused as listening to a Spanish lecture.

Bai Lan frowned even more as if she realized there was a major flaw somewhere.

Xiao Ye always felt that the boy opposite her, who was much shorter than her, had the aura of a black-faced elementary school principal who discovered that his students were undisciplined, and she almost started to reflect on herself whether she had said something wrong.The young man had already taken a step back and bowed slightly to her, "Sorry, I was rude just now."

He raised his head and began to introduce himself for the second time with a calm demeanor, "Hello, I am Bai Lan, a traveling freelance trainer, and I came here to participate in the Quartz Alliance. Please give me your advice." As he said this, he said to Xiaoye stretched out her hand - the content of her words this time was more like the usual dialogue when they first met.

"Please give me some advice, I'm Xiaoye. Although you seem to already know...?"

Bai Lan saw Xiao Ye's inquiring expression, but he didn't explain anything more. He just shook Xiao Ye's hand in silence.The body temperature that was no different from that of ordinary people came from the palm of the person opposite him, causing a certain thought in his heart to be stirred, and he immediately returned to peace.

He asked pointedly, "Can you have a one-on-one battle with me?"

"of course."

Xiao Ye nodded and saw that the other party immediately turned around and walked to the other end of the venue after getting the answer. He looked like he had no desire to talk, so he could only suppress his doubts in his heart for the time being.

The image of Zhenxinzhen's letter filled with unknown words flashed through Xiaoye's mind, and she quickly put it aside.

Sure enough...you got the wrong person, right?

Tongye, who had been paying attention to this side, saw that Xiaoye and the boy in the white kimono wanted to fight, and immediately said that he could act as a temporary referee.After the three of them took their respective positions, the battle began.

Xiaoye's Charizard looked at his master longingly, and after receiving a nod of permission, he immediately jumped onto the field happily.It had long since had enough of fighting only the same old faces.

The boy in white took out a high-end ball and threw it backhand lightly.

What appeared in the light was a straight figure.Its ruby-like eyes were sharp and lively, the blade at its elbow popped out with a cold light, and its blue and white color made both Xiaoye and Tongye look a little surprised.

After seeing the appearance of the heterochromatic Elledo, Tongye turned around almost subconsciously and scanned the surroundings.Fortunately, there were no people at the training ground, and their location was relatively remote, so no one noticed this overly eye-catching Pokémon for the time being.

Lalulas is already a very rare Pokémon in the remote Hoenn region.Tongye could imagine how greedy a strange-colored Elledo would arouse in the people around her.

Bai Lan seemed to understand the reason why the temporary referee suddenly looked around, and did not say anything to urge him. He just looked at his original partner calmly and calmly.

After the signal for the start of the battle was given, the boy gave the order with a voice that had not yet changed but already contained full awe.

"Spiritual Blade."

Before Charizard could react, the opponent he had never seen before had disappeared without warning.The next second, the blade filled with spiritual power slashed hard at the back of the fire-breathing dragon. The overwhelming force struck, causing the red figure to fall heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of smoke and dust.

Eluredo's sharp blade left a bloody scar on Charizard's back.
