The Bizarre Adventure of Pokémon and the Bird Hero

"Really, why are you so anxious?"

Xiao Sheng looked at Riolu pretending to blame him.

"Ow~"

Riolu, whose mouth was already full, said that he would never forgive Xiao Sheng for eating it behind his back, even though the cake was indeed delicious.

"Eat on the sly, is there any? I just wanted to find a place to stay for a while after leaving the library."

"Ow~"

"What do you mean I won't take you with me? It's obviously because you don't want to go, so don't accuse me wrongly."

"Ow."

Riolu actively stated that he would go with him next time, just because he wanted that...

Xiao Sheng pretended not to understand anything again, ignored him, and started busy with his own things.

……

early morning.

In the woods surrounded by mist.

It’s another day of new practice.

"Xiao Sheng, are you sure the eyelashes have been fixed, right?"

"Ah."

Xiao Sheng nodded.

"But I still feel that this training method is a bit... a bit difficult to accept. I think my physical fitness may not be able to bear it."

Yalang tied many tree trunks that were swinging rapidly back and forth to the tree and asked him to practice dodging inside.

"What's the point? Lucario used to train like this."

Yalang showed that familiar and convincing smile.

Xiao Sheng looked at him helplessly.

How can humans compare to Pokémon?

But Lucario did seem to have said something like he couldn't beat Aaron.

But despite his psychological reluctance, Xiao Sheng obeyed Yalang's arrangement with a low eyebrow.

Hold your breath.

Xiao Sheng quietly looked up into the sky. In the blue waveguide vision, the tree trunks roaring towards him seemed to be slowed down.

He waited for the right moment and stepped into it, sometimes jumping, sometimes squatting, sometimes bending down, sometimes turning sideways, like a bird flapping in the air avoiding the swinging tree stumps.

Successfully reached the other side.

Yalang clapped and said happily: "Well done. Let's take a rest before continuing."

After several rounds of training.

Xiao Sheng leaned against the tree exhausted, feeling the sweat continuously slipping from the corners of his face, dripping to the ground, and then soaking into the soil.

"Ow~"

Riolu looked forward to watching the normal training, daydreaming about when he would be able to join in.

"You? It's still early!"

"Ow?"

"You are too short. A tree trunk may not hit you even if you are standing there. You can just crawl over if you lie on the ground. What else is there to practice?"

"Ow!"

Riolu muttered to Xiao Sheng with an unconvinced expression. He didn't know whether it was because Xiao Sheng said it was short, or because Xiao Sheng said it would crawl over.

"Let's talk about this after you evolve into Lucario. Now just do some basic training honestly. Don't be too ambitious."

"Ow~~"

Although it has not evolved, it has obviously grown up~

Xiao Sheng bent down and gently stroked Riolu's head.

The plushness was very comfortable, and Riolu seemed to be enjoying it, but he seemed a little shy out of the puppy's pride that he didn't know where to come from.

Yalang watched quietly from the side without making any sound.

On the way back, he told Xiao Sheng some things about the past.

"As expected, you really don't have that sense of urgency now."

"A feeling of oppression?"

"Yes. I told you, right? Thousands of years ago, Orudlan City was trapped in the clouds of war."

"Countless humans and Pokémon fought bloody battles in front of Orudran City, in the valley at the foot of the First Tree of the World."

"To this day, in some places, digging a little deeper into the ground can reveal the bones and debris of that time. The traces left by that war are still shocking to this day."

"At that time, life was like water stains under the scorching sun, and could disappear at any time. Lucario often had to serve as a scout for me. Our training was always urgent, and we couldn't wait to seize every second."

"But the current situation is exactly what I expected. This is good...very good."

The Pokémon War is a very distant thing to Xiao Sheng, so far away that he cannot use time to measure the distance.

But it was also very close to him, and the clouds of war that once existed on this land could also be glimpsed in the flower of time that he accidentally opened with the power of the waveguide.

But, thankfully, this is all in the past.

At least Xiao Sheng will not experience that war personally.

If nothing else.

……

That night.

Xiao Sheng came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.

Glancing at the clock.

The Bobo inside was just spit out.

Exactly eight o'clock.

"Ah~~"

Xiao Sheng yawned.

Time to sleep.

He walked into the room slowly and saw Riolu, who was still wet all over, lying on the bed. When he was about to speak...

"wonderful!"

A flash of white light flashed, and Xiao Sheng disappeared directly.

"Ow?!"

Riolu looked around in panic.

What about people? !

Wait, did a big pink mouse flash by just now?

Then it will be fine.

Riolu was relieved and biting the pillow happily on the bed.

And somewhere in the original tree of the world.

Xiao Sheng looked at Meng Meng speechlessly.

"What's the rush?"

"wonderful!"

"Then at least wait until I change my clothes!"

"Wonderful~"

So Meng Meng honestly sent Xiao Sheng back.

After Xiao Sheng put on his clothes and cleaned up Riolu, he was teleported back again.

It was pitch black all around and nothing could be seen.

He can only use the power of waveguide to observe the surrounding environment.

This seemed to be some kind of underground hall. There were huge tree roots on the walls, and some crushed crystals were vaguely scattered around.

Ahead is a tunnel that keeps looking forward.

"wonderful!"

Meng Mengfei led the way and made a sound to signal Xiao Sheng to follow it.

The tunnel is very wide but full of pits, and there seem to be traces of some giant creatures being stepped on on the ground.

"Kukukukiki!"

Xiao Sheng seemed to hear some strange, familiar sounds.

Soon, he knew what it was.

At the end of the tunnel is a huge ruin lit by crystals.

Various tall and strange boulders surrounded the place into a structure that resembled an altar.There seemed to be something on the huge round platform in the center, but Xiao Sheng was too far away to see clearly or feel it.

Some of the stone pillars around seemed to have some patterns carved on them, but because they were too random, it was impossible to tell what they looked like.

Xiao Sheng found it hard to imagine why there were such huge ruins hidden underground.

But what surprised him even more was the sleeping giants in front of the stairs leading to the round platform.

Reggie Ace, Reggie Locke, Reggie Ellechi...

Xiao Sheng had seen these sacred pillars scattered around, but despite being so densely packed together, he had never seen them alive, and there was more than one of each type.

They seem to be the guards here, guarding the secrets hidden at the top.
