Dawn of Pokémon

Gyarados is a warlike race by nature.As hunters in the ocean, they have ferocious tempers and are fearless. They often fight among themselves, let alone encounter other races.

Of course, Gyarados, who is naturally good at fighting, cannot be victorious in every battle.When defeated by a powerful enemy, they will only accumulate strength with strong anger and seek to counterattack - even if the opponent is a powerful Slash Commander leader.

Nothing can scare Gyarados on the battlefield—

But there are countless things that can terrify a Magikarp on the battlefield.

Unlike Charizard, which was just born from an egg a year ago and is still immature in mind, Gyarados is a mature Pokémon that has experienced a long time.

A long, long time ago, when Gyarados was an inconspicuous carp king among the fish, it once lived in the vast sea.It's just that the time was too long, so long that even if it tried its best to trace the past along its memory, the picture that emerged in its mind was still blurry.

It has forgotten when and where it was born, and only knows that the sea in its memory is a dark blue world.It wanders in the boundless deep blue day after day, its head empty as it swims and eats with the fish, living mechanically.

Until one day, it bit into a piece of food that was tied to a thin thread and exuded an attractive aroma.

The fishhook pulled it out of the sea and soared high into the air.The extremely dazzling sunlight penetrated its eyes - from that day on, the color of its world changed.

It remembered that it was put into a translucent ball and taken away from the sea and onto the land.The scenery outside was spinning as the ball shook. It cowered in fear in the corner of the ball shell and shivered.

Then, the red and white balls were opened.It opened its eyes carefully and took a clear look at the person in front of it.

It was a young boy who conquered it.

Today's Gyarados can no longer recall his face, but only remembers that boy's voice always trembling slightly, as if he was about to cry at any time.Even when facing the weakest Pokémon in the world, the boy still looked very timid and had to muster up the courage to even touch its scales.

The ignorant Carp King did not yet know how to recognize people and objects, and could only instinctively read a hint of friendship from the delicious food the boy handed over from time to time and his cautious behavior.So, it innocently opened its heart and began to get closer to the boy little by little.

The world on land is new and dangerous.It was always thrown out of the ball without warning, landing in front of eager enemies, and had to fight desperately against vicious Pokémon that were far more powerful than it.The weak King Magikarp does not possess the courage after evolution, nor does he have the power to defeat his enemies.It was afraid of pain and fighting, but the voice behind it kept it from flinching.

Whenever it is forced to face a powerful enemy, the boy's voice always sounds behind it.Although the voice was not firm and always had a hesitant trill, as long as there were still people giving instructions, it knew where it should go - knowing that it was not fighting alone.

Among the countless hazy memories separated by veils, only that mood seemed clear and powerful - the Carp King in the past had indeed thought from the bottom of his heart, and if it was for him, it would be willing to face a terrible battle.

The immature Carp King and the immature boy walked together, through the grassland, through the forest, and through the city.That journey may be very long, or it may be very short. Countless vivid pictures and emotions along the way were swallowed up by the fire at the end of the journey.

That day, Magikarp met the strongest enemy he had ever seen.

The strange Pokémon wore a dark red steel helmet, and its eyes were as sharp as the sharp blade above its head.Even the humans next to the Pokémon were extremely tall, and the boy seemed as dwarfed as a child in front of him.

That steel-dagger-like Pokémon made Magikarp instinctively feel fear.It didn't want to fight such a terrifying opponent, but when the boy's soft voice sounded, it could only try to suppress the trembling of its body and hit the opponent.

It doesn't remember how many times it attacked.The hard armor was as heavy as a mountain rock, and it could not move even an inch with all its strength. Instead, it caused unbearable pain to its body that was bearing the force of the shock.When its strength was about to run out, the rock-like armor raised its arms and turned into a cold sword.

The sword fell and blood splattered.

The weak King Carp felt unprecedented pain.Its scales were cracked and long blood marks appeared on its body, staining the river surface red the moment it fell into the water.

The threat of death made Magikarp almost flee along the river.It knew it couldn't survive the second blow, and all the cells in its body were clamoring to stay away from that dangerous enemy.

However, it did not escape.Because its trainer still needs it to fight.

In bone-crushing pain, it turned around in a daze.But the sight he saw at this glance made all the blood in his body run cold——

The boy it had entrusted with its trust, the boy it wanted to fight for, had his back turned to it and its enemies, squatting in the open space in the distance, holding his head and shivering.

The boy's head was buried deeply in his arms, his eyes closed tightly and not looking at the battlefield.

The bloody King Carp was stunned.

It could no longer even see the blade about to fall above its head, only the trembling figure with its back turned to it.

Compared to other Pokémon, most individuals in Magikarp's race are slow-thinking and emotionally dull.This was the first time such intense, almost exploding emotions arose in its heart.The huge wave of mixed emotions just surged up, and was completely burned by the flames of anger.

[I stopped running away for you, but you abandoned me on the battlefield and ran away? 】

In the burning rage, the bloody Magikarp evolved.

It hissed and roared toward the sky, and the spreading air waves made the Pokémon wearing a steel helmet stop in fear.But it didn't attack - the first thing the evolved Gyarados did was smash the red and white balls that bound itself.

The fragile translucent spherical shell turned into dust under the hammer of the giant tail.The dark blue water dragon that no longer belonged to anyone jumped into the river and swam away into the distance without looking back.It didn't know if the boy called to it, but it decided at the moment of evolution that it would never answer his call again.

From then on, it lived in the clear river for a long time.It unleashes its ferocity wantonly, carves out its own territory, and grows into a real beast in day-to-day battles.The past events of childhood are accumulated layer by layer in the deepest part of the brain, almost disappearing in the vast ocean of memory.

until one day--

A purple-haired girl appeared in front of it with an orange baby dragon.

====================

The story of Gyarados is not a long one.It ended the narrative quickly, and the medical room fell into a brief silence as Pichu translated the last words for the trainer.

This is not a special story.Perhaps there are many weak Magikarp in the world who have been conquered by weak trainers and completely defeated by powerful enemies.Gyarados himself has never been resentful about this. During the half year of traveling with Xiaoye, it had even forgotten that it had been subdued by other trainers.

But it happened that in the quarter-finals, it faced Commander Pi Zhan.Even though it was not the same one, the extremely similar appearance still instantly evoked its dusty memory, which caused it to be in chaos for a while.

After recounting this past incident, Gyarados felt a lot more relaxed.It saw Xiao Ye and smiled the same as the day she conquered it, "Thank you for telling me what you think."

The girl took a step closer, still smiling at Gyarados, and tilted her head in confusion, "Gyarados, does that child look like me?"

Hearing this, Gyarados immediately began to shake his head violently, and the entire dragon's face was full of disgust - it used to be young and ignorant, but now that kind of useless trainer would have conquered it long ago. Will be beaten away by it!

"Then..." The girl took another step closer, her smile still gentle, but the burning crystal blue flame gradually rose behind her, "Do you think I will abandon you and run away during the battle?"

Gyarados: "..."

At this moment, Gyarados, who had "grown into a real beast", felt the same fear as that day for the first time in a long time.

...No, this is much more terrifying than Commander Zhanzhan! ! !

Gyarados completely understood why Xiaoye reacted this way. If it were questioned about whether it would run away during the battle, it would be so angry that it would spray water on the spot.Just because I understand...

Recalling the way the second master raised his knife and slashed the mountain into pieces, Gyarados had a premonition that he was about to pass away, and immediately shook his head like a rattle.

Xiao Ye stared at Gyarados for a moment while maintaining a smiling expression.It wasn't until the large afterimage of Gyarados shook out that she turned into a nine-headed dragon. Xiaoye then dispersed the light of the power of the waveguide as if nothing had happened, and clapped her hands in joy, "I think so too. So. That’s a consensus, right?”

Gyarados nodded hurriedly again. Seeing that Xiaoye finally returned to his original position, he calmed down and collapsed in the treatment device in a cold sweat.

Now it just wants to go back to a few hours ago and beat itself into a fish in a moment of trance - how on earth did it associate this owner who is more capable of beating it with "escape"? I'm afraid it's not something else in its mind. A stupid fire dragon, right? !

"Sorry."

"?" The limp Long Tuan raised his head blankly upon hearing the sound.

"It was my lack of ability that made you lose to Commander Pi Zhan." Xiaoye suppressed the smile that was too bright for her and said seriously, "I will continue to become stronger with you in the future. If there is still If you have a chance to fight against Bailan's Commander of the Cut, I will send you out."

"——Let's take revenge together."

The dark blue water dragon straightened up, looked at the trainer's calm and solemn expression, and suddenly softened his expression.The eyes that were always glaring slightly narrowed slightly, forming a crescent-shaped smile, vaguely showing the innocent look of Magikarp King in the past.

Before the Pichu in Xiao Yeyi's pocket could marvel at Gyarados's first smiling face - although it was still very ferocious - the Charizard beside him suddenly howled.

The orange fire dragon whined non-stop with an aggrieved look on his face, and the rumble of his voice produced a noisy echo in the closed treatment device, making little Piqiu roll his eyes.This time there was no need for a translator, he could guess what Charizard wanted to say just by reading his expression.

We've known each other for so long and you didn't tell me anything, QAQ!

Looking at the stupid fire dragon who was in tears, Gyarados' crescent-moon eyes suddenly turned into half-moon eyes, and he roared back angrily.

The howls one after another made the big bird helplessly turn around, facing away from the two dragons and continue to take a nap.The forest lizard remained as still as a mountain, sitting upright with its eyes closed as if the old god was there.Ghost Stone, on the other hand, was as energetic as Charizard, constantly drifting left and right in the narrow space of the treatment device, staring at Xiaoye's head with bright eyes.

Even the saliva is flowing out.

Xiao Ye was stared at and felt a chill on the back of her head. While adjusting her bowler hat, she laughed helplessly.

——Forget it.Being able to meet you is already an unimaginable happiness for me.

Considering that the Pokémon had just experienced a fierce battle, and Gyarados's emotions had just been calmed by her "pretending to be evil", Xiaoye did not leave the medical room and return to the arena, but sat on Gyarados. Next to the treatment device, quietly waiting for the treatment to end.

The Pokémon made a fuss for a while and then became quiet, falling into a deep sleep due to exhaustion.Amidst the familiar snoring of Charizard, Xiaoye gradually relaxed her tense nerves and allowed sleepiness to overwhelm her brain.

Half asleep and half awake, Gyarados heard gentle footsteps coming from outside the treatment device.It reluctantly opened its eyes and vaguely saw that the person coming had familiar silver hair.

The young man stood a few steps away from the treatment device, staring down at the person in front of him.

In their memories of staying together, Xiaoye's sleeping position was always very standard.His hands were placed neatly by his side, and he would not move at all even if he fell into a deep sleep. This was in sharp contrast to the big-haired golden retriever brother and sister.Naturally, there was no "standard sleeping position" for taking a nap while leaning against the treatment device. Perhaps the air conditioner in the medical room was turned on too much, so she subconsciously curled up her legs and lowered her head to cover her expression.

A few seconds later, the boy's fingertips brushed the girl's hair, and a pure black windbreaker lightly covered the sleeper's body.

He stopped staying and turned around to walk out of the medical room, his ice blue eyes full of awe.

——Thank you for honoring our agreement.

Now, it's my turn.
