Dawn of Pokémon

Sparse spots of light flickered in the dim cedar forest.

Walking slowly into the depths, the silver-haired boy cast a questioning look at his partner.The Pokémon's tentacles surrounded by electric arcs trembled slightly, and then shook its head.

From the moment it entered the trial field, the electric beast continued to release weak electromagnetic waves.It is not enough to cause paralysis, but merely serves as an extension of the electric beast's senses to capture the unique electrical signals of living things - this is also the perception ability possessed by most electric Pokémon.

The range of perception based on electromagnetic waves is no more than a few meters outside the body, which is useless in the arena.But in a southern forest with dense foliage, this trick can be a good way to judge whether there is a crisis hidden under the lush green.

The electric arc caused Xiaotian's hair, which had been tied into a ponytail, to rise messily, but he did not intend to stay away from the electric beast - the opponent they were about to face was too good at high-speed assault, and once the trainer lost the personal protection of the Pokémon, it was very likely that Will be eliminated in an instant.

As the boy moved forward, he guessed at the Pokémon partner his opponent might choose.

Yukidouji and Riolu, who have not yet formed their strength, can be eliminated first. It is difficult for Dabi Bird to exert its high mobility in the dense forest, so it is likely that he will not be selected.So, all that’s left is…

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the electric beast suddenly became alert.The network woven by electricity bounces to every surrounding bush, filling the places that are difficult to see with the naked eye with golden yellow.

This is a pre-arranged tactic, using an adhesive grid to disrupt the opponent and prevent them from being caught off guard at the beginning.The rollout of the electric grid caused the trees in one area to shake slightly, but before Xiaotian could order an attack, the sharp sound of a flying weapon sounded, and the electric beast covered his arm and let out a short cry of pain.

"Light wall."

The translucent wall of light stood up after the trainer's brief instructions, and the next moment there was an extremely fast impact.Cracks spread from the center of the light wall, causing the electric beast's hastily set up protection to quickly fall apart.

The directions of the two attacks are inconsistent and cannot be used as evidence for location determination.The attacker seemed to have deliberately concealed the light effect of the move. Coupled with the fast pace of the battle, neither the trainer nor his partner could see clearly what hurt the electric beast.

——But "no trace" itself is a clue that provides traces.

The cracks in the light wall spread from the center to the surroundings, indicating that it was a single-point thrust attack; there were lush bushes and messy grass nearby, but no trace of being affected anywhere was left, which meant that the scale of this move was small and Able to flexibly change direction.Coupled with the slight sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air, the answer was already coming out.

Magic leaf, forest lizard.

"Discharge!"

Xiaotian didn't give the opponent a chance to regroup.After completing the deduction in the blink of an eye, he decisively issued the attack command.Electric Shock Beast releases a steady stream of electric light in all directions, condensing into a ring-shaped river and spreading out.

The paralysis effect of electric current is the nemesis of speed specialists, which is why Xiaotian chose the electric beast as his partner.A strong electric current swept through the leaves and branches, only a dull sound was made in one place.

Xiaotian reacted very quickly and pointed in the direction of the abnormal sound. The electric beast instantly changed its moves, and one hundred thousand volts slashed into the bushes like a battle axe.

The energy contained in the electric current exploded the plants.But there was no sign of any creature emerging from the smoke.

The boy immediately realized something.

"Keep—"

The green light shield just emerged and collided with a sharper sword of the same color.The protective wall flickered uneasily, and the stalemate lasted for several seconds before the incoming hidden weapon was completely blocked.

This time, Xiaotian and Electric Beast really saw what the magic leaf looked like.

The young man was keenly aware that the rhythm of the battle was flowing to the other side.Unlike grass-type enemies that are good at hiding, the dazzling light of electric-type attacks makes it difficult for them to hide themselves. The only breakthrough point is to use high firepower to force out the opponent's position and defeat them in one go.

He made the prearranged gesture towards the electric beast.The Pokémon roared and released cold air currents, and the awakened power of the ice attribute erected countless large and small ice edges on the ground.

The ensuing discharge becomes more intense.The ice surface reflects the electric light in all directions, making its direction tortuous and unpredictable.

For guerrillas who rely on accurate judgment to avoid danger, random attacks are the most unsolvable.The electric beast quickly felt the feedback of the attack hitting the right spot, and the lightning in the sky turned instantly and gathered towards the same point to form a thunder arrow.

Crystal blue light has lit up Xiaotian's fingertips.Just when he raised his right hand and wanted to deliver a "final blow", the earth shattered without warning.

Like a landslide, the moist soil layer fell apart with a rumbling sound.The huge lightsaber rushed out from bottom to top, knocking away the electric beast with unstoppable momentum, completely separating it from its trainer.Before the dazzling green light went out, the young man who barely stood still felt a touch of coldness on his neck.

The sharp blade was filled with coldness, as if a beast full of murderous intent showed its fangs, making Xiaotian's body stiff and unable to move any further.

For a moment, even the air seemed to have condensed into blocks.The brief silence was soon interrupted by applause from above.

"So far."

The silver-haired young man descended from the sky on a dragon and clapped his hands with a smile.

The cold blade immediately dissipated into nothingness.Xiaotian turned around and saw that his friend was still looking so well-behaved.Perhaps because she felt that she had been too merciless before, the girl smiled sheepishly, without any of the aura that made Xiaotian's back instinctively shiver during the battle.

A forest lizard covered in mud belatedly jumped out of the ground.Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Final test over - you two did well."

Xinghai, as the referee, handed over the prepared medicine to the two trainers.Although the battle was fierce, only the electric beast that was thrown away suffered minor injuries, and the other participants were almost unscathed.After simply treating the injuries, the group returned to the camp and began the final review of this special training.

"Both of you made good choices of Pokémon, and you also brought out the strengths of the Pokémon you selected in the subsequent battles." You guessed the opponent's true identity after the forest lizard launched its first sneak attack, right?"

Xiaotian nodded.

"This is a very quick and accurate judgment." Xinghai said, "During the entire battle, you and the Electric Beast did not try to hide themselves and hardly moved. Instead, they chose to use high firepower and Xiaoye, who is good at flexibility and maneuverability. Confrontation, this is the right choice - rather, you adopted a tactic with the highest probability of winning. However, your response in actual combat is still weaker than your opponent."

The silver-haired young man's eyes moved to the other person, "Xiaoye, was it your decision to hide the forest lizard underground from the beginning?"

"No, I decided after seeing the electric beast - because it cannot detect the underground through electromagnetic waves." Xiaoye replied.

Xinghai responded, "Your countermeasure is correct. Even if it is underground, the forest lizard can use its flexible magic leaves to attack targets on the ground without being immediately aware of its location. But your approach is One flaw - the forest lizard always attacks the electric beast."

"It can feel the electricity released by the electric beast and use it to lock its position, but humans can't sense it through the soil." Xiaoye said honestly, "I haven't thought about how to make up for it."

"Xiaotian, are you aware of this problem?"

"I noticed it." Xiaotian said truthfully, "But I didn't have time to think about what it means."

"Because your opponent deliberately accelerated the pace of the battle." Xinghai said, "Xiaoye, you are making noise behind the bushes, or deliberately using the power of the waveguide to fight against the electric discharge, in order to create a situation where the forest lizard always moves on the ground. 'Fantasy, right?"

"Yes - it also gives the forest lizard a chance to slow down its attack frequency and take the time to accumulate energy for the move that penetrates the ground."

Seeing Xiaotian thinking for a moment and then showing a clear look, the silver-haired young man nodded.

"Xiaoye, the tactics you adopted are not complicated, and can even be said to be easy to guess. However, your implementation ability is really excellent, and the timing of each action is just right. Judging from your age, 'Jiu With rich battlefield experience, it can be ruled out directly, so there is only one answer."

The first-level investigator said seriously, "You are very talented in practical combat - would you consider joining our search department in the future?"

"..."

Suddenly a sentence about joining Amway was mixed into the good review summary, and Xiaoye suddenly showed a somewhat stuck expression.

"Haha, I'm just kidding. I won't interfere with your career choice. Even if you want to become a comedian, I fully support it!"

"Well, forget it...and why are you a comedian..."

Facing his father who was still making jokes even in lecturer mode, Xiaotian could only shrug his shoulders.

He looked at his friend.Although he had just failed miserably in the test, there was no unwillingness in those eyes, but a hint of smile.

——As if silently saying, "Your strength is never a bad thing to me."

By the time the final test was over, the sun was already high overhead.

The iron-blooded instructor was not cruel enough to continue training after the exam, so he finally gave the two young men a holiday.After lunch, the three of them were able to gather under the tree and enjoy a peaceful nap together.

The floating clouds in the sky filter out a lot of heat for the people on the ground.The cool wind blows through the shade of the trees, taking away the breath of summer heat just right, providing tired trainers with an environment that is perfect for a nap.

The chatter gradually fell silent, and the girl's consciousness sank into dreamland.

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

She knew that what she saw was not an ordinary nightmare or hallucination——

That is the "future" that actually happened.

The girl saw the scorched earth, the flames raging in the air, the blackened half of the World Tree, and the black meteorites that swallowed up all the starlight.

For the dreamer, this is no longer an unfamiliar scene - she has seen these scenes more than once since she touched the dark blue pillar crystal.

But, something changed.

The life wandering in the dream seems to be given a new soul.The girl kept running, searching, and brandishing the weapons in her hands with motives that she couldn't even understand.

The flames of war burned everything in sight.Black meteorites kept approaching, swallowing up the few remaining stars in the night sky with endless darkness.

When the last starlight disappeared, the cold blade sank into the young man's body.

The dreamer clearly saw the strange and familiar face of the man, but all his emotions seemed to sink into the dead water, unable to make any waves.

She saw herself pulling out the knife and letting little bits of scarlet splash onto the boy's snowy hair.

The boy fell silently in the rain.The instigator stood in the "black" queue, smiling in the most standard manner.

She bowed devoutly towards the "abyss".

"The mission has been completed. Infiltrator No. 0981, applies to return to the team."
