Dawn of Pokémon

The stifling heat and pungent smell gradually awakened the comatose's consciousness.

A sharp tingling sensation came from her head and throat at the same time, making the girl's consciousness fall into an ice cave, and she suddenly woke up completely.

The hostility she felt before she fell into coma was still swirling in her heart. Xiaoye instinctively did not open her eyes and remained motionless, while the power of the waveguide spread out quietly.

The next moment, Xiao Ye discovered that the surrounding energy environment was very chaotic. The waveguide's field of view only illuminated a radius of two or three meters, and further away was chaos - obviously, a counter-detection device was set up nearby.

Someone's voice came not far away, with overlapping echoes reaching Xiaoye's ears.

"The captain of the guard is very calm today. When he first came as a 'guest', he acted very impressive, but now he's getting discouraged very quickly." One person said with a sneer.

"No way, it's so annoying." Another person's voice sounded muffled. "We couldn't stand the noise anymore, so we simply gave him an injection. At least he had to sleep for a whole day and a whole night before he woke up, so as not to cause more trouble."

"Huh? That's really boring."

"He almost escaped yesterday, so we were just in case..."

The sound faded away.After confirming that there was no movement around her, Xiaoye slowly opened her eyes.

It was dark as far as the eye could see, with only a glimmer of light coming from the crack in the door, barely illuminating the surroundings.

The surrounding stone walls show that this seems to be a cave.The narrow exit was inlaid with a thick iron door, and only a small window separated by a fence was opened at a height that was out of reach, making the victims realize that this seemed to be an ancient prison.

Xiao Ye tentatively moved her hands and feet, but had to stop.

Her hands and feet were roughly tied up with steel cables, leaving several bloody marks on her wrists. It seemed she could not break free with brute force.All the Poké Balls around his waist were missing, and something seemed to be tied around his neck. The power of the waveguide, whose sensitivity had plummeted, could only be judged to be an electronic device similar to a neck ring.

The young man from the Fire People who had been traveling with her lay on the side, also tied up and still unconscious.Looking carefully, he also had a dark collar around his neck.

Xiaoye shook her head vigorously, trying to dispel the dizziness caused by the mental attack.While there was no one outside the door, she whispered the name of her friend, and not long after, Yang Yu also woke up.

Before the boy fell into coma, he was still thinking about Jing Mu's condition. He instinctively wanted to jump up, but accidentally pulled the steel rope binding his wrists. He suddenly gasped in pain, which also accelerated the process of waking up.

"This is..." Yang Yu looked around in shock.

"Maybe it's the base camp of Feng Thief - I just heard someone speaking with the same accent as Feng Thief." Xiaoye's white clothes were covered with dust, and even her cheeks were caked with sand, but her expression was still too calm, which made people laugh. The listener's mood calmed down a lot, "Are you okay?"

"Well, I'm not hurt - ah..."

As if Yang Yu wanted to show that he was intact to reassure his friends, he forgot for a moment that his ankles were also tied with steel ropes, and immediately stood up in failure and rolled into ashes.Xiao Ye hurriedly jumped over to block the rock wall to prevent Yang Yu from hitting the rocks.

After a while, the two reluctantly sat up leaning against the rock.Xiaoye said straight to the point, "Their target seems to be Mr. Jingmu. The two of us probably happened to witness the scene and were arrested."

Yang Yu was stunned for a moment, and a look of worry immediately appeared on his face, "How is Uncle Jingmu?"

Xiaoye shook her head, "There should be no worries about his life. They injected Mr. Jingmu with hypnotic drugs, and they have no intention of harming his life for the time being."

The two lowered their voices in tacit agreement and briefly exchanged known information.

Based on Jingmu's expression when he hurried past in the evening, both Xiaoye and Yang Yu guessed that he might have noticed some clues and was about to report to the clan leader.Therefore, the enemy would knock him down at a not too safe time, and the two children who accidentally saw this scene were also unlucky.

There was almost nothing in the dark prison. It was impossible to judge the current time, and it was not known how long the two people had been "missing" from the Valley of Flames.Not only the Poké Ball, but also Yang Yu's mobile phone had been confiscated - which made Xiaoye start to feel lucky that she didn't take her mobile phone with her when she went out, otherwise she would have lost a huge sum of money.

The caves where light is difficult to see are usually cooler, but the air here is completely opposite, making it unbearably hot.As a people of fire, Yang Yu was not afraid of heat and did not feel any discomfort for the time being. However, Xiao Ye, who had no talent for resisting heat, could already feel her clothes soaked with sweat. If she lay here for another day, she might turn into a dehydrated conch. .

Coupled with the pungent smell that continued to enter their noses, both of them vaguely guessed something.

There was no doubt that they were near the crater of Mount Aso.

"Continuing to wait is not an option." Xiaoye straightened up.

After lying in front of the door and paying attention to the movement outside for a long time, she and Yang Yu were both sure that no one was moving nearby.There are no traces of surveillance cameras in the prison - according to Yang Yu, this "poor" style is completely in line with the usual image of Feng Thief.

"Let's try to escape." Xiaoye said softly.

"I agree. But what about this?" Yang Yu tilted his head awkwardly and gestured to the steel ropes binding their hands and feet.

"Let me cut it off for you."

Xiao Ye approached Yang Yu using a standing long jump movement method, and crystal blue light spots began to ooze from the fingertips of her hands bound behind her back.

However, before the sharp blade was formed, the dark neck ring suddenly sounded an alarm, and the piercing sound almost shattered the air.The next moment, dazzling electric light burst out from it, enveloping the scorching energy that could kill a human being, completely covering the whole body of the waveguide user.

"Night!"

Yang Yu was horrified and subconsciously wanted to pounce on him.The person who suffered the strong electric shock did not fall down immediately, but staggered back half a step, "Don't come here!"

Reason almost pulled the red-haired boy to a stop at the last moment.He watched helplessly as his friend fell to his knees, while the electric current continued to flicker relentlessly, and it took a long time before it gradually subsided.

The smell of burning overcame the sulfur.The originally fair skin on the neck was carved with shocking scorch marks, and strands of blood seeped out, soaking the neck ring.

Yang Yu seemed to want to help his friend, but his hands and feet were bound by steel ropes, and he was at a loss for a moment.He opened his mouth, and before making a sound, he heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

The young man's expression changed, and he immediately jumped up and blocked Xiaoye behind him.

The iron door was kicked open and hit the rock wall hard, causing gravel and sand to fall.A wind thief wearing a cloak and half-covering his face swaggered into the dark prison and raised his voice in a weird voice, "Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch? I heard the siren and came over to see what happened. It's a big deal. It turns out that our 'guest' is dishonest and wants to do whatever he wants?"

The visitor locked the door tightly with his backhand and walked slowly closer.Seeing the young man from the Fire People who was full of vigilance and almost trembling with nervousness, Feng Thief laughed happily.

"Did you sleep comfortably, 'Guest'?" The masked thief stretched out his hand and pushed Yang Yu to sit on the ground, "If you want to blame, just blame your own misfortune. Who told you two to have to do it while we were arresting someone? It's hanging around."

He stopped and looked at the two children in distress.The malicious eyes barely stayed on Xiao Ye, but kept circling Yang Yu.

"Huohara and Narukami? God knows how you got together... Hey, whatever."

Feng Thief stretched out his hand, picked up Yang Yu's collar, and dragged him up.

"You little bastards of the Fire People, when you humiliated our brothers, did you ever think that things would change?"

The grievances between the people of the flames and the wind thieves have been going on for years and have long been irreconcilable.Yang Yu realized that he was being treated as an object to vent his resentment. Before the suffocation and fear could reach his brain, a voice suddenly came from the side.

"The so-called wind thief is nothing more than that."

Yang Yu was startled, and felt the hand holding his collar suddenly exert force, making a "click" sound.

"What did you say?" The masked thief turned his head with a gloomy look.

The young man vaguely realized what his friend wanted to do, and turned around in panic.

The purple-haired girl in the field of vision raised her chin slightly, her smile not as gentle as usual.Her face was pale, and cold sweat flowed down her cheeks due to the severe pain of the strong electric shock, but her expression did not appear weak at all.The rising tone was provocative, as sharp as a sword being drawn out of its sheath.

She looked so strange, almost like she had a different soul.

"I heard that you guys were able to fight fiercely with the guy named Huo Yuan. I thought you were some kind of attractive person. But it turns out that you are just a group of rats who only dare to vent their anger on the impotent brat?"

Those purple eyes flashed with cold light, "It's so disappointing."

Before he finished speaking, Feng Thief grabbed the speaker's chin, making him unable to speak.

"Shut up!" The thief spat out a string of curses filled with resentment.

The purple-haired girl narrowed her eyes slightly.However, when she was about to take the next step as planned, Feng Thief suddenly let go of her hand as if she had discovered something.

"I thought you guys, who call themselves the 'aces of the mercenary world,' are so amazing." The masked thief's tone became calmer again, "Even if you blow yourself up into a human-shaped generator, isn't that enough?" Are you still afraid of electricity like us ordinary people?"

He tapped the collar with his fingers maliciously.The hideous burn marks were clearly visible, and blood streaks ran down the side of his neck, staining the white sportswear red.

The wind thief slowly stretched his hand towards the girl's injured neck.Before Yang Yu was about to rush over regardless, a vague shout suddenly came from outside the door.

Xiaoye vaguely heard words similar to "superior review".The Feng Thief in front of him paused for a while, cursed, got up and walked out of the prison, slamming the door behind him.

The sound of the lock being locked was followed by the sound of footsteps gradually disappearing.It wasn't until there was no movement outside the door that Yang Yu stopped holding his breath and stumbled to his friend's side, "Xiaoye, are you okay??"

The person who suffered the electric shock seemed to care less about this matter than the bystanders, and shook his head indifferently, "I guess this neck ring is used to restrict the ability user. After detecting obvious energy fluctuations, it will release an electric shock - fortunately You are not a capable person."

"There's nothing 'lucky' about this." Yang Yu's brows were so furrowed that he could pinch a dozen test papers, "How could you do that... Feng Thief has a bad temper. If you provoke him, he may be severely punished. Tortured."

Of course Yang Yu could see the reason for Xiaoye's uncharacteristic behavior.It's just too dangerous to use excessive words to attract Feng Thief's attention. Once the other party is extremely angry and hurtful, the two people with their hands and feet tied cannot resist at all.

"It's no problem if the result is good." Xiaoye explained the matter in one word, and then showed a slightly uneasy expression, "The wind thief just seemed to think that I was a member of the Mingshang tribe, so I followed his words and said a few words. In fact, I have no idea what kind of family Narukami is... Are they very OOC?"

The red-haired boy hesitated to speak, and finally just sighed, "I have never been in contact with them. However, it is said that most of Narukami's family are very arrogant, which may be similar to your behavior just now."

"That's good." Xiaoye nodded with confidence, "Speaking of which - Yang Yu, did you hear clearly what the people outside just said?"

"Did you hear it clearly?" Yang Yu replied, "Someone is shouting, 'The superiors are here to inspect the work and require everyone to gather at the entrance.'"

Superior...?

If no detection and jamming devices were installed here, Xiaoye felt that this might be a good opportunity to learn the true face of the enemy.Unfortunately, the waveguide detection failed completely, and the two of them were locked in a dark dungeon and unable to escape. After a brief discussion, they decided to just pay attention to the situation outside and not act rashly for the time being.

Ten minutes later, the sound of conversation came dimly from a distance.

Xiao Ye and Yang Yu looked at each other, both paying full attention.

The voice is getting closer and closer, and the content of the words is gradually becoming clearer.Xiaoye's hearing ability clearly captured the last sentence of the conversation.

"Don't crowd around here, it's an eyesore. Stay away."

The voice of the commander was cold and hard, with undeniable strength.Different from Feng Zei's thick accent, his straight pronunciation is more like someone from the Kanto region.

There were sparse responses, and the footsteps immediately moved away. Only the person who made the order continued to pace slowly towards the depths of the underground cave.

Just when Xiaoye was wondering whether the speaker was the "superior", the footsteps stopped at the door of the prison.The two people in the prison were startled, then lowered their heads in unison and breathed softly.

The heavy iron door was pushed open.The light shone in along the doorway, reflecting the appearance of the child leaning against the wall in the corner, who seemed to be still sleeping.

Xiaoye lowered her head, and could only see a pair of leather shoes disappearing and appearing under the black robe, slowly approaching her.

Thinking that the leader just dismissed the "minions" because they were an eyesore, a bold plan suddenly emerged in Xiaoye's mind.

The leather shoes stopped not far in front of Xiaoye, and a pale hand reached out from under the black robe.

The next moment, crystal blue fluctuations bloomed from the "Sleeping Man" without warning, followed by dazzling electric light.The messenger of Waveguide seemed to be completely unable to feel the severe pain caused by the electric shock. The steel ropes binding his hands and feet were torn apart instantly, and his left hand firmly clasped the protruding wrist of the man in black robe.

The electric current cannot distinguish between friend and foe, hysterically pouring energy into the two connected people.The burning pain from the neck pierced into the blood vessels, creating a strange cold illusion.

At the moment when the "superior"'s movements were frozen by the electric shock, a crystal blue blade emerged from the girl's palm, stabbing the black robe like thunder.

As if he wanted to resist, the man in black robe quickly raised his other hand and got in front of the sharp blade——

When his fingers touched the girl's cheek, it was almost gentle.

The crystal blue light blade suddenly shattered.There was a trace of astonishment that could not be concealed in the eyes of the waveguide messenger.

When the distance is shortened to this point, the detection of the waveguide is able to lock the target - and the "aura" seen under the crystal blue field of vision clearly comes from a familiar person with whom we have been very happy.

A second later, clear white light replaced the crystal blue and thunder.Xiao Ye heard a soft "click" sound from the neck ring and became silent.

The hand gently touched the face of the victim, as if he was afraid of hurting the other person.The light spots flowing from the fingertips disappeared into the body, miraculously calming the severe pain that spread throughout the body.

The girl opened her eyes slightly and looked into the amber eyes that were shining under the black robe.

Then, she saw "herself".
