Eye of Darkness

Opening his sleepy eyes and leaning against the wall, Yan Ming looked at the damp and silent environment around him, but in his mind he remembered those unbearable past events.

Looking at the pitch-black scene, Yan Ming slowly raised his hand, trying to grab something in the darkness, but he could only touch the air, as if everything he had experienced at this time was just a shadow. , seems to be broken at any time.

Yan Ming looked at the dark surroundings, his eyes were a little blurred, and he murmured.

"This is... what I dreamed of..."

Raising his hand to touch his cheek, Yan Ming exhaled and sighed slightly.

The temperature in the ice cave was very low, and Yan Ming was in good health. Otherwise, if he slept in such an environment, he would probably catch a cold or have a fever and he would not be able to escape.

Yan Ming stood up, patted the broken ice on his body, moved his hands and feet, and began to walk out of the ice cave.

The harvest from this trip was good, the elves have all improved a lot, and it’s time for me to go to the next destination to challenge the gym.

Thinking about it, Yan Ming took out the illustrated map and started looking at it.

If you are looking for something closer, then of course Dead Leaf City is the most suitable, but Dead Leaf City is still in the aftermath of the St. Annu incident.

However, what surprised Yan Ming was that the gym leader of Kuye City was Ma Zhishi. According to the Rockets internal website, Ma Zhishi was one of the cadres of the Rockets. However, based on Yan Ming’s understanding of the plot, He said that at this time, Ma Zhishi should give up his position as gym leader and be transferred away by Sakaki.

After just thinking for a moment, Yan Ming stopped paying attention. After all, although there were many things that Yan Ming knew about in this elven world, there were also influential and unknown beings like the Goddess and the SK team, so Yan Ming's mind Understanding the plot of Elf anime, special episodes, etc. can only be used as a reference.

"But since I'm a member of Team Rocket, I shouldn't need to challenge the gym."

Yan Ming thought like this. It wasn't that he thought he couldn't beat him or anything. In fact, the current search intensity in Kuye City was quite intense. Although he had shown his face on the St. Ann before, showing his harmless identity. , but if you don’t protect yourself, will you get into any trouble?

And even if he challenged it, Yan Ming felt it was a waste of time.

Judging from Yan Ming's current elves' combat capabilities, a Wind Speed ​​Dog can take down the elves that Ma Zhishi apparently uses as gym challenges. The elves that are used for newcomers to fight are actually around level 27 at most. , the wind speed dog can eat it completely.

Secondly, there are no good training places around Dead Leaf City. Yan Ming currently has many elves on the edge of evolution in his team. Yan Ming plans to raise the level of the elves before the Quartz Competition so that he can have a chance to compete in the competition. Getting good results and good or bad results in competitions will determine Yan Ming's future growth plans.

So after thinking again and again, Yan Ming's next stop was to go to Yuhong City. The gym there was a grass-type gym. There was a Yuhong Department Store in Yuhong City, which was the largest shopping mall in Guandu. Yan Ming was going to buy it. Some required rare skill discs.

The second thing is that there is a Team Rocket base there. Yan Ming is planning to go there to buy a gym badge from Kuye City through points. Yan Ming just checked and it is not expensive. It just requires some permissions. After all, although Team Rocket can I'll open the back door for you, but you still have to have some strength.

After walking out of the ice cave, Yan Ming followed the direction he came from and spent half a day returning to Hualan City. After buying a ticket to Yuhong City at the station, he went to the Elf Center to restore the physical condition of the elves. get well.

It was already noon. After Yan Ming put away the elf ball, he came to the public communication device of the elf center. After searching for information in the illustrated book, he made a video call to Dr. Ohmu's research institute.

Yan Ming didn't have to wait long before the communication was connected. However, it was not Dr. Ohmu who appeared on the screen, but Xiao Mao with a reluctant look on his face.

Seeing that it was Yan Ming, Xiao Mao's originally impatient expression dropped and he greeted with some surprise.

"Xiaoyan?! So it's you."

Hearing Xiao Mao's surprised tone, Yan Ming curled his lips.

"What, Xiaomao, are you unhappy to see me?"

"No, no, I just didn't expect that Xiaoyan you would still have time to communicate. I thought you would be very busy, Xiaoyan, just to rush around."

Xiao Mao smiled and scratched his head awkwardly.

"I am indeed very busy. After we said goodbye to Dry Leaf City, I went directly to Dr. Oak. After updating the illustrated book, I went to Nibi City and Hualan City to challenge the gyms. Now I am preparing to go to Yuhong City, challenge the grass-type gym."

After hearing Yan Ming's words, Xiao Mao nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, Xiaoyan, you are quite fast. As for the grass-type gym, I think there is no problem for you. But speaking of Nibi City, I recently heard from my grandpa that several fossils of ancient elves were found there. Egg, and according to the test, it seems that there is a possibility of resurrection, so many forces have been eyeing Nibi City recently."

Hearing Xiao Mao's words, Yan Ming's heart moved. No wonder he met so many people who shouldn't be there when he was in Nibi City.

"Is that so? I did find that the number of people in Nibi City has increased...Why, Xiaomao, are you telling me this because you want to find out about the fossil eggs? Are you interested in those fossil eggs?"

Xiao Mao laughed sheepishly when he heard Yan Ming expose his thoughts.

"That's pretty much it. After all, they are ancient elves, so I care more or less. However, do you think the elves in those fossil eggs are new species that have not been recorded in the illustrated books?"

"Maybe, but I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't pay much attention."

Yan Ming shrugged helplessly.

"That's okay, it doesn't matter. I'm just curious anyway."

There was no news from Yan Ming, and Xiao Mao didn't care. After all, it was just his curiosity, and he just mentioned it casually. He had been busy training elves recently, so he didn't have time to really pay attention to it.

"By the way, Xiaoyan, you took the initiative to contact me. Is there something important? Do you need me to call grandpa over?"

Xiao Mao suddenly thought that Yan Ming took the initiative to contact him, and he should have something to do with Dr. Omu.

"There is indeed one thing, but it doesn't matter if I tell you. You can just tell Dr. Omu after that."

Hearing this, Xiao Mao nodded seriously.

"The thing is like this, after I came to Cerulean City to challenge the gym, I went to the Yuejian Mountain to do some elf training, but I discovered an ice field there."

As soon as he heard Yan Ming's description, Xiao Mao frowned.

"I found an ice cave there. I originally thought there would be something inside, so I went in out of curiosity to take a look, and then I discovered something weird."
