Dawn of Pokémon

That might be a dream, or it might just be a fantasy.Dimly, Xiao Ye felt that she was standing on the dock in the early morning.

The sunlight casts shadows on the sea, but the ripples are not clear.The sky is gray and the sea is dark. Even if there is sparse light passing through the clouds - or smoke falling down, it cannot illuminate the entire sea.

"Sorry." The tanned sailor shook his head, "I can't go to Orange Island today."

"what!?"

"We bought all the tickets!"

The trainers angrily surrounded the sailors. "She" stood in the crowd, observing everything calmly.

"I have no idea!" The sailor turned around and pointed in the direction of Xiangju Island - the northern sky was overcast with heavy clouds, and there was a faint glow of fire, turning the fog into a dim gray-red color. "Didn't you watch the morning news? The flame bird on Xiangju Island has woken up. I heard that many people died from the crazy fever. I don’t know if the volcanic eruption has stopped yet, and everyone on the island ran out to seek refuge. Isn’t going to the island at this time just asking for death?”

As soon as these words came out, the young trainers were in an uproar.

Not all travelers have the courage to face mad beasts and natural disasters.Listening to the faint roar, many people immediately looked worried, and even began to ask the sailors if they could take them away by boat.

"Don't worry, don't worry." The sailor yelled at the top of his voice, "I heard that the Flame Bird has just been subdued by the search department who arrived, so there is no need to run - and there is a sea in between, can it still burn to this side? .”

The trainers were relieved.

Before the crowd dispersed, "she" turned around and left without thinking.After taking a few steps, people screamed from behind. It seemed as if a flame-colored light flashed across the horizon in an extremely dazzling way. It was accompanied by a long and mournful cry from the flaming bird. The sound echoed between heaven and earth for a long time.

"She" who witnessed the situation in person continued to move forward indifferently, while the bystanders were already worried.

Can't.It shouldn't be like this.How could they be allowed to suffer such a disaster?

I can change something.I should have changed.

Please, don't leave like this!

Turn around! !

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

The person lying on the bed suddenly started struggling.She instinctively wanted to jump up, but her body was too weak to support such an action.

"Boom!"

The delirious man threw himself off the bed and unfortunately hit his head hard on the bedside table.

Night:"……"

The pain wakes me up.

The unfamiliar room and the too weird dream filled Xiaoye's mind with confused questions. She sat on the ground blankly for a while before she could barely get her brain to start moving.

The bed was covered with brand new white sheets, which were slightly wrinkled due to her violent movements just now, and an infusion bottle was hanging on the iron shelf - there was no doubt that this was a ward.At this moment, the patient only felt weak and dizzy. The wounds all over his body were aching, and even standing up became a difficult task.Her left hand was firmly fixed with a splint and bandage, and even a slight shake would cause pain that penetrated the bone marrow.

Even in her previous life, Xiaoye rarely put herself in such a miserable state. For a moment, she felt a little fresh and interested in looking at herself here and there.

A drop of blood slipped from the back of his right hand.Only then did Xiaoye realize that the back of her hand was bruised and purple, and the needle hanging from the infusion bottle was dangling in the air.Apparently, she had wrenched it out of place when she fell off the bed.

...You probably didn’t break the needle, right?

Xiaoye wanted to scratch her head guiltily, but when she raised her hand, she only touched a thick bandage, so she had to give up.

The curtains were drawn tightly, barely letting out a trace of light, and only the fluorescent lamps turned on to the lowest setting provided dim yellow light.Xiaoye was a little unsure of how long she had been asleep, so she stood up on the bed and planned to go to the window to take a look at the sky.

Before he could take a step, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.

Perhaps the excessive consumption of consciousness has made her senses slightly dull. Xiaoye failed to notice the footsteps approaching outside the door. She didn't turn around until the sound of pushing the door came, and saw a young nurse in white. Standing blankly in front of the door, his expression gradually became astonished.

Xiao Ye watched helplessly as the bottles and jars in the nurse's hands fell to the ground and shattered. Before she could feel regretful, she was embraced by the woman.

"Great, you finally woke up! We have waited for too long...I thought you would never wake up again..." the little nurse said while whimpering.

Xiao Ye was suddenly horrified, and countless movie plots of "patients who have been sleeping for many years wake up and find that their lives have changed" rolled through his mind, "Um, may I ask...how long have I been asleep?"

The little nurse sniffed and said, "More than a day."

Night:"……"

Why do you sound like I've been sleeping for ten years?

She confirmed the current specific time to the crying nurse - five o'clock in the afternoon on the 29th.In other words, she slept for more than 30 hours.

Although it is not as exaggerated as the plot of the movie, this time is enough to surprise Xiaoye.Logically speaking, she only suffered some non-fatal injuries and would never have been comatose for such a long time.

So...is it really because of the Heart of the Moon?

After the little nurse cried heartily, she immediately became happy for the tourist's awakening, like a people of fire.She asked Xiaoye carefully how she felt at this time, and checked her injuries to confirm that her physical condition was acceptable, but she was just a little weak from not eating for a long time and losing blood.

When Xiaoye asked if she could go out, the young woman suddenly beamed.

"Of course, the patient will not recover if he stays in the room." The little nurse carefully avoided the bandage and gently touched the girl's head, "Besides - if you miss tonight, you will definitely feel very sorry!"

She helped Xiaoye walk to the window and suddenly opened the curtains.

The sky was slightly dark in the evening, but the Valley of Flames was bathed in a scorching light.It was thousands of lights spread across every corner, like scattered stars.

Rhythmic drumbeats rumbled into the house through the cracks in the windows, mixed with laughter and off-key singing.People and Pokémon sang and danced while lighting more torches, almost melting the Valley of Fire into the vast sea of ​​orange-red stars.

It wasn't until this scene came into view that the newly awakened person truly realized that the sad battle was over.

The seven days of Fire Worship ended yesterday, so logically there shouldn't be any more celebrations.It's just that the most important seventh day was spent in the chaos of war, treating the wounded and rescuing collapsed buildings, so there was no time to enjoy the festival.

In this case, how can we not make up for the highlight - the words of the people of the flames.

Xiaoye asked the young nurse about yesterday's battle. She was relieved when she learned that no one died, and then asked how her Pokémon were doing.

"Xiaoye, your Pokémon are all at Yang Yu's house. Don't worry, he takes good care of them!" the little nurse replied.

Xiaoye nodded, "I want to retrieve my Pokémon first... Ah, I can do it alone. You still have work to do, right?"

Seeing the little nurse making a move to help her to her destination like a disabled person, Xiaoye quickly waved her hand - after all, it was her hand that was broken, not her foot.

After seeing off the busy nurse, Xiao Ye left the infirmary quietly.

There was a noisy and lively scene in the Valley of Flames. Many people with bandages were running around happily and dancing, without paying any attention to the doctors who were chasing behind them and asking them to rest.Even if Xiaoye goes out with her arms hanging on her chest, it is not out of place at all.

——It’s just that the hair color is still the same abrupt, even if it is half covered by a bandage, it doesn’t help.Before she could take a few steps, she was captured by her little friend.

"Night--"

Xiao Ye was startled by the roar coming from far away, and almost hit her head against a pillar.She turned around in shock and saw the brown-haired boy rushing towards her, almost bursting into tears and turning into a watering can.

"Xiao Ye, ah, it's great that you're okay, I thought you were going to die, uh uh uh uh..."

Night:"……"

One or two people had the same reaction when they met her, and Xiaoye began to seriously doubt whether she had broken her arm or her neck.

People on the street didn't notice the tourists walking by at first, but when Yongzhen yelled over, they all immediately noticed, and they rushed over.Seeing that everyone's eyes were shining and they were about to shout something, Xiaoye took the initiative decisively and spoke loudly at the top of her voice: "I'm really not going to die, don't worry!!"

Normal people who didn't feel this way were stunned for a moment. They looked at Yongzhen, who was crying like a watering can, and then at Xiaoye, whose face was full of readiness, and laughed collectively.

"What are you kids talking about!" One of the middle-aged men laughed so hard that he was out of breath. He held his stomach for a long time and explained, "We are just very happy. If you don't wake up, you will have to Miss the real Fire Festival for the first time in 500 years!"

"Xiaoye, thank you!" Someone who was drowned in the crowd shouted with his neck pulled, "We have all heard from the clan leader. If it weren't for your help, we might have to sacrifice a few brothers!"

"And Haruna-san, it's thanks to you that I fished it out!"

Everyone gathered around the stranger in the center, with expressions of gratitude and happiness on their faces.Someone couldn't help but stuff a few red fruits into Xiaoye's hand, and without the usual polite words to tourists, said simply and to the point: "It's so sweet, try it!"

The girl who was surrounded vaguely felt some kind of change.Just as the translucent distance finally dissipated, the pure joy and gratitude from the people of the flames were transmitted unreservedly to the hearts of the strangers like fire, making her slightly curl her eyes.

She turned her head and looked at Yang Yu who was standing next to Yong Zhen. When she saw that he was half-crying but not laughing, she couldn't help but laugh, "Yang Yu, you don't think I'm going to die, right?"

Yang Yu shook his head violently, "No... I know that excessive consumption of heart power is theoretically not fatal. At most, it will turn into a vegetative state, QAQ."

Night:"……"

OK, thank you for your rational and thoughtful answer...

When a group of Fire People gather together, it is very difficult to get them to stop chatting automatically.The noisy crowd started talking nonsense to the tourist who had made a great contribution, until the captain of the guard who came in search of the news unbearably interrupted the conversation.

"What are you doing? Are the preparations for the banquet complete?" Jingmu shouted with a dark face, "Don't surround the wounded, the air will not circulate. Do your work!"

The playful and smiling red-haired people politely shouted a few words, "It's so scary and so severe," and "We don't dare to be disobedient," and then dispersed.

Xiaoye, who was holding several fruits, raised her head and looked at Prisoner No. [-] in the dungeon, "Good evening, Mr. Jingmu...Hey, you didn't sleep last night, okay?"

The middle-aged man's eyes were black and blue, as if he had stayed up all night for dozens of hours.

"I've slept well enough." Jingmu replied self-deprecatingly.

He raised his hand as if he wanted to pat the shoulder of the person in front of him, but the injured man's left and right shoulders were wrapped with thick bandages. Jingmu's hand froze in the air for a few seconds before he had to put it down again.

"I'm glad to see you're okay. Thank you." He said simply. "The dinner is about to start. I have some work to do. I'll see you soon."

Xiao Ye watched Jing Mu leave in a hurry and looked at Yang Yu and Yong Zhen in confusion, "What happened?"

"Well, nothing happened." Yang Yu scratched his head, "Wasn't Uncle Jingmu injected with hypnotic drugs? When he woke up, he knew that so many things had happened, and he felt that he was derelict in not helping..."

"Actually, you don't have to think that way at all, and no one will blame him. If you want to blame him, you can only blame the wind thief who gave Mr. Jingmu the injection blindly!" Yongzhen answered.

"Although I feel the same way..." Yang Yu sighed, "Anyway, Uncle Jingmu blames himself very much. It happened that someone from the police station came to investigate the situation, so-"

"He stayed up all night writing reports."

Night:"……"

The stranger was stunned for a while and couldn't help laughing with his two friends.

The preparations for the dinner were almost ready, and the two of them had nothing to do. Seeing that Xiaoye was going home to pick up the Pokémon, they went together leisurely.

"To be honest, I was stunned when I heard the clan leader tell what happened." Yongzhen jumped up and down the gravel road, "You two are really amazing. You were captured into the wind thief's base camp and you still managed to escape to us. Signaling."

"It's not all up to us..." Yang Yu said hesitantly.

Considering that undercover work has always been a highly confidential job, he and Xiao Ye had a tacit understanding not to reveal the fact that they were helped by the "high-level person", and they could only muddle through at this moment.

"However, I'm not idle either!" Yongzhen suddenly turned around and opened his palm to show his friend what he had in his hand.

It was an ancient but still beautiful jade bracelet.

"Ah." Xiaoye realized something, "Could this be..."

"Yes, it's the bracelet lost by Grandma Lizi." Yongzhen bared his teeth and smiled, "I sneaked to the wind thief's base camp this morning and found it - in fact, it has almost collapsed. Fortunately, the 'trophy' is stored there The room can still be entered. It took me a while to dig it out!"

"This is too dangerous... What if the cave collapses again when you go in? And the clan leader said you can't go near there." Yang Yu shook his head repeatedly in disapproval.

"What does it matter? The result is good anyway." Yong Zhen disagreed. He shook the jade bracelet in his hand with a playful smile and said in a show off tone, "How about it, Xiaoye, I said I will help my mother-in-law find the bracelet. .This is something I think about every day!”

"I think my mother-in-law will be very happy." Xiaoye replied with a smile.

——This is also the reason why she came to this valley of fire in the first place.
