Dawn of Pokémon

In the forest clearing, the bright feathers of the strong chicken danced among the branches and leaves like a blaze of flame.It deftly avoided the siege of the wind thieves and threw the backpack with its straps cut off far away.

The red-haired boy stretched out his hand and firmly caught the stolen goods.

The cloaked men roared in anger.The leader spoke very quickly to the Pokémon. Scorpio, whose tail was stained with blood, ferociously rushed toward the boy, but was hit by a string of sharp green leaves before it touched the target. He quickly covered his injured body. The belly flew back into the air.

The red-haired boy turned his head in surprise and saw a girl about the same height as him walking out of the forest together with the forest lizard.

The wind thief let out a series of gurgling curses.They were keenly aware that something was wrong - the expression of this "prey" was too calm, and it was clearly different from the panicked expression when the backpack was taken away.

Xiaoye's waveguide power invisibly locked every movement of the wind thief who was preparing to attack.She was just about to say hello to the boy who was obviously not an accomplice of the wind thief before the other party's attack came, when she saw the boy's expression suddenly change from a distance.

"Rock Blockade!"

Following the boy's command, the strong chicken hammered the ground, and countless rocks rose from the ground, erecting a barrier between Xiao Ye and Feng Thief.

The red-haired boy climbed onto the branches of the tree and jumped to Xiaoye's side in a few steps - his eyes were also the same red as his hair, but the color did not appear scorching, just like the gentle candlelight in winter.

Two dull hairs like young sprouts stood up on the top of the boy's head, swaying gently in the wind, causing Xiao Ye's eyes to drift upward unconsciously.

"Are you okay?" the young man asked worriedly, "It's okay. I've snatched your things back. Now you just need to get rid of those guys and you'll be safe."

Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, following the young man's gaze and saw a large amount of blood on her sleeves. Only then did she realize what the other man had misunderstood. She quickly waved her hand and said with a smile, "No..."

Before he finished speaking, the rock wall in front of him exploded with a loud noise.Nidoking roared angrily in the smoke, and the golden light slowly gathered in his mouth, aiming at the two people opposite him.

The red-haired boy immediately realized something was wrong, "Strong chicken——"

Before the order could be issued, Scorpio, who was approaching through the smoke and dust, had already pounced on the strong chicken.Its ability to fight alone is not as good as that of a strong chicken, but its flexible flying skills are enough to allow it to tangle with its opponents for a long time.

Seeing that the Nido King's destructive ray was about to be emitted, the young man became anxious and without thinking, stood in front of Xiaoye and stretched his right hand towards the second Poké Ball at his waist.

Before his fingertips even touched the red and white ball, the young man heard a calm voice coming from behind.

"The Oath of Grass."

Opposite the shattered rock wall, a whirlwind of grass blades rose from the ground and struck Nidoking hard on the chin.The burly Pokémon fell backwards unprepared, and the golden light sprayed diagonally upward, cutting off a large number of branches and leaves.

The young trainer then issued the "Solar Beam" instruction.The sunshine on the southern island is strong, and even though it is almost dusk, the grass-type ultimate move is still charging much faster than before.The forest lizard sprayed out fierce white light almost instantly, and the cluster cannon full of grass-attribute energy swept past, exploding sparks at the feet of the chaotic wind thieves.

The red-haired boy turned back in confusion, as if he felt that the "victim's" behavior was different from what he imagined.The person behind him calmly winked at him with his right eye. He didn't look like a poor passerby who had his property stolen and was injured at all.

The smoke and dust stirred up by the solar beam almost filled the entire open space, but the power of the waveguide was not blocked by the smoke and dust.After noticing Nidoking's next move, Xiaoye immediately said, "Beware of earthquakes!"

The next second, Nidoking's foot hit the ground hard, causing the earth to tremble violently.Although the forest lizards got the hint, they were unable to move normally on the shaking ground. Taking this opportunity, they attacked in formation, and the sharp cross scissors knocked the forest lizard standing at the front straight away.

Before the Scorpions launched a pursuit, the strong chicken's fist came through the air, interrupting their attack rhythm.

The fire-type Pokémon, which should be afraid of ground-type attacks, was barely affected by the earthquake, and still leapt nimbly on the branches, drawing out a dazzling trajectory.Its owner also stood firmly and gave the Pokémon accurate instructions and assistance.

"Hot air!"

The strong chicken spit out a fiery storm, forcing the Scorpios who tried to attack back.

The shaking of the earth gradually subsided, and with the help of the strong chicken, the forest lizard turned the corner and was keenly aware of the approaching crisis.As it gave out a low warning cry, the howling wind came from overhead - a Scorpio escaped from the queue at some point and was hidden in the afterglow of the setting sun.It swooped down from high altitude, its sharp pincers aimed directly at the humans at the edge of the clearing.

The strong chicken crows anxiously and runs towards the trainer.It didn't notice that its temporary combat partner had no intention of saving the situation. Just as the thought of "it's too late" crossed its mind, it heard a muffled sound of "bang".

The attacker was pressed to the ground by the back of his head, and a Scorpio-shaped crater was created. Just hearing the sound made the strong chicken feel a throbbing pain in his forehead.

After confirming that Scorpio had indeed lost consciousness, Xiaoye took back her hand and looked up to see the dumbfounded expression of the red-haired boy.

The girl thought for a moment, wiped the dust off her hands, and showed a smile like a well-behaved student.

The smoke gradually became thinner.Five cloaked figures were approaching at some point, their sinister eyes looking up and down at the two young men.

"You dare to rush out and become a hero by yourself. How brave you are, from the Huo Yuan family." One of them said in a hoarse voice, shaking the dagger in his hand.

He spoke with a thick accent that was similar to the accent of the older residents of the town. It seemed to be a dialect unique to people in the Orange Island area.Xiaoye couldn't figure out what they were mumbling, but the red-haired boy didn't seem to have any intention of quarreling with them. He just looked at the sworn enemies for many years and narrowed his eyes. He took a half step back and said softly to Xiaoye, "I Take the Pokémon back on the count of three.”

Seeing the two people communicating in low voices, Feng Thief, who was standing in the middle, immediately started shouting angrily.

"one."

The Scorpios swarmed up with eager eyes, trying to surround the two.The forest lizard and the strong chicken immediately stopped in front of the trainer and faced off against the Scorpio group without fear.

"two."

Nidoking let out a deep roar and approached step by step with angry eyes.

"three!"

The boy's lowered voice fell, Xiaoye immediately raised her hand, and the forest lizard's figure returned to the ball along the red light.The strong chicken staggered backwards, dragging the two trainers to jump up diagonally behind them.

The scents of people and Pokémon have already filled the waveguide detection range.Xiaoye saw many people with the same hair color jumping out of the forest, and there was even a familiar figure mixed in among them.

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, they shouted loudly.Countless Pokémon that manipulated fire appeared in the dense forest - as if the evening fire clouds were projected onto the ground, the ocean-like flames spread out, completely submerging the small forest glade.

"Hey, you paid such a heavy price... just to find out the stronghold of the Qingfeng Thief?" The brown-haired boy, Huihara Yuma, who had just fought with Xiaoye in the game this morning, exclaimed.

"It's too exaggerated." Xiao Ye shook her arm that might have healed if she didn't apply medicine in time.

"It's not an exaggeration. Scorpio's poisonous super-hurts! Even if there is an antidote/medicine, it will still hurt for a long time!"

"Well, it sounds like you have a lot of experience..."

"Of course, I have been stabbed since childhood... No, that's not the point." Yongzhen struggled to pull his thoughts out of the painful memories of his childhood, "If you want to know the location of the wind thief, just ask me. Why are you so aggressive?"

"I don't have your mobile phone number." Xiaoye blinked innocently.

"Then come to my house and find me!" Yongzhen waved his hand, "Just look up the map of our Fire People's residential area... uh..."

As if he sensed something was wrong, Yongzhen froze mid-sentence.

There was a sigh from the side.The red-haired boy held Xiaoye's backpack in his hand and reminded helplessly, "We just moved a while ago..."

Yes, as a well-known tourist destination in this area, the location of the Fire People is indeed well known.However, an earthquake not long ago caused severe landslides. People's original residences were buried under sand and gravel, and they had to relocate en masse.As for where to move... At least Xiaoye couldn't find the answer after checking all the major websites, so she had to randomly walk into the mountains to try her luck.

But now that she has met the Fire People who live here all year round, Xiaoye no longer has to follow the Wind Thief quietly. She can get a general idea of ​​where the Wind Thief lives by just asking.

Now, young tourists are being swept up in the flow of laughter and laughter, and are heading to the new residence of the Fire People with the large army.She was surrounded by people with red hair and red eyes. Only the brown-haired Yongzhen was the most out of place, and he looked like an outsider. Because of this, Xiaoye had never thought that Yongzhen was one of the people of fire. member.

People living on Xiangju Island all know that due to various disputes related to ores, the Fire People and the Wind Thieves have been bitter enemies for many years.In order to prevent the tribesmen from being harassed and harmed by the wind thieves, the people of the flames sent a patrol team to "maintain law and order" near their residences - it was the members of the patrol team who had just taken action to repel the wind thieves and rescued Xiaoye and the two.

"The little girl is quite brave. She dares to enter the mountain alone." The burly red-haired man patted Xiao Ye's shoulder hard and smiled with his white teeth. "Don't be polite next time I see the wind thief. I'll beat him to death." them!"

"It's mine to kill you." The young man on the side actively interjected.

"The ones in the back - don't instill the concept of lawlessness and discipline into the guests." The patrol team leader who was walking at the front gave him a cold look, which immediately made everyone dare not speak.

Although they live together deep in Aso Mountain, the accents of these harmonious people are not very similar to those of Feng Thief.Compared with Feng Thief's dialect, which is mixed into a large string of garbled words at a fast speed, the red-haired people speak more clearly, with a soft rising tone at the end of sentences. Even when they are scolding others, they don't seem to be intimidating, but when they smile, they are Released a doubled affinity [Note 1].

Except for Yongzhen, who had just returned from the outside, everyone else was wearing exotic clothes, which gave them the feeling of an "isolated mountain people" as written in the poster.These people were cheerful and not exclusive. They chatted with Xiaoye along the way, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Yang Yu, thank you for your help just now." Xiaoye looked at the red-haired boy who had just fought in a team - she had never had the habit of letting others carry her luggage for her, and she felt very uncomfortable at this time, "I still need to carry the bag myself. Are you ready?"

The young man named Yang Yu shook his head violently, changed his position and hugged the backpack tightly in his arms, "I will give it to you after you go back and bandage the wound properly."

Seeing Xiaoye looking a little confused, Yongzhen next to him emphasized seriously, "Don't take it seriously, that's a Scorpio."

Seeing everyone around her nodding in agreement, Xiaoye could only clarify one fact without saying anything - the Scorpio of the Wind Thief was probably the common childhood shadow of these red-haired people.

The afterglow of the sunset gradually became dim.The Pichu on Xiaoye's shoulder rubbed his belly, feeling a little hungry.The scarf of the red-haired boy next to him flew with his steps, and one of the thin threads swept Pichu's nose, causing the electric mouse to sneeze.

Xiaoye turned her head and looked at Yang Yu, who was holding her backpack tightly, as if she was afraid that she would snatch it away. Then she looked at the other people around her and couldn't help but ask, "Um... aren't you all hot?"

People wearing very similar clothing styles—mostly autumn-style combinations of long sleeves, trousers, and boots—looked at the questioner and shook their heads in unison.

The out-of-town visitors fell into silence again, feeling that the people in front of them were indeed creatures named after "flame".

Wearing autumn clothes in the southern summer, you won't get heat stroke.

As a comrade who had also fought against the wind thieves, Xiaoye quickly became familiar with the patrol team.Seeing that it was getting late, Yongzhen warmly invited Xiaoye to stay at his house for one night.

As the team gradually moved into the valley, Xiaoye saw a stone sculpture standing in the distance.

It was a lifelike bird, dancing in the flames.

The moment she saw the flaming bird, Xiaoye suddenly recalled something.She knew why the term "Fire People" sounded familiar to her.

"...On July 511, 7 in the Elf Calendar, the conflict between the Himi family and the Narukami family intensified, and finally a large-scale exchange of fire broke out on Red Lotus Island. The guardian beasts of the two families fought fiercely in the sky. Subsequently, the demons from the Southern Islands The Fire People appeared on the battlefield together with the Flame Birds, trying to mediate the battle..."

——In the corner of the Alliance National Library, when she was trying to investigate an incident called the "Eclipse Rebellion," she had actually read this word.
