Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

A lonely full moon hung high in the night sky, and the faint light it cast became the only source of light in Yuan Town.

In the Pokémon Center, Eslo, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes. The boy slowly got up and looked to the side. He saw Umbreon and Morubeko sleeping quietly. The soft bed was wrinkled with wrinkles, and the quilts covering them were long gone. After all, the sleeping postures of these two little guys were not very good.

"Really..." After a helpless chuckle, Aislo covered the quilt covering himself on Umbreon and Morubek.

After taking care of this side, Aislo looked at other places in the room. Zoroya was curled up quietly in Ma's arms. With the warm mattress under them, there was no need to worry that they would catch a cold.

Shakiras and Magma stayed quietly in the Poké Ball. I don’t know if they fell asleep, but the comfortable environment in the Poké Ball and the Dark Ball didn’t worry that they would feel uncomfortable.

Rogue Crocodile was not there as usual, probably because he was doing some nighttime training again...

"This won't do..." Aislo frowned slightly. He could understand Rogue Crocodile's desire to become stronger, but it wouldn't do to train so hard that he ignored his body. "I'll have to find a chance to talk to him later..."

Although the stupid crocodile might not necessarily listen to him in this regard, when he thought of this, Eslo could not help but shook his head helplessly.

"Soooo?"

A low voice was heard, which caused Eslo to turn his head and see that Absol, who had just closed his eyes, had sat up silently at some point, with confusion in his ruby-like eyes. He cautiously asked the person not far away. Absol still remembered the scene of the boy's left arm exploding not long ago, and he was afraid that Eslo would have some wild thoughts.

[Nothing... Sorry for waking you up. ]

Under the influence of the wave power, Eslo's voice rang out in Absol's heart.

"Sigh?"

Absol looked at Eslo's slightly gloomy eyes and said that he didn't believe what the other party said at all. The last time he saw Eslo like he was about to break was when Gengar's grandmother died.

Oh, Xiao Luo seemed to be a little depressed when Beedrill died.

The extremely familiar yet somewhat strange insect figure inexplicably appeared in Absol's mind. His red eyes dimmed. After all, that big insect was also his friend.

...Well, it would have been better if he hadn't gotten impatient and called his tribesmen to fight together during the previous sparring.

[…I want to go out for a walk.] Aislo's voice interrupted Absol's thoughts.

"Soooo." Absol stood up slightly.

[No, I can handle it on my own.] Aislo raised the corners of his mouth with his fingers, revealing a big smile, indicating that the other party didn't need to worry, [Go to sleep, you'll be busy tomorrow.]

"Say..."

Before Absol could finish his words, he saw the black hole slowly condensing in Eslo's hand, and the smile on his face became increasingly dangerous.

[You can't learn from that stupid crocodile, Absol. ]

Absol: ...

Absol closed his eyes again, and after a moment, his breathing became steady again.

The boy nodded with satisfaction, then took out a beautiful feather from his arms.

This is the Crescent Moon Feather, which was given to him by Aunt Cresselia.

After placing the feather on the bed, the Crescent Feather emitted a dreamy colorful light, which illuminated the entire room in almost an instant, and then quickly dissipated. It would bless the creatures within its light to have a sweet dream.

Aislo slowly stood up, and his pajamas turned into black particles in an instant, recombining into the clothes he usually wore.

The familiar black windbreaker floated down from the hanger as if it had self-awareness. The corners of the coat were slightly lifted by the oncoming breeze, and then it was naturally draped over the boy's body.

After tidying up his clothes, Aislo walked straight out the door and closed it gently, making almost no sound.

Almost at the moment the door closed, Absol opened her eyes, and just as he was about to chase her out, she covered her eyes wide open.

At the same time, an inky black light enveloped the white figure. After the light faded, Absol had already fallen into a deep sleep.

[He's out.] Along with the hoarse voice, Darkrai, who suddenly appeared like a ghost, slowly floated outside.

[It's better to leave him alone. We don't need to follow him out... Don't worry about safety. It seems that little Yaru is patrolling outside.] The flower rock monster appeared behind Darkrai at some point. It can be said that except for Eslo, no one in the entire Garden Town can accurately lock the whereabouts of the two of them.

And Huayanguai was very familiar with Aislo's current condition.

Haha, just a little slate devil who is naturally suspicious and contradictory.

[That wave guide messenger? I will not put Xiao Luo's life in the hands of any human. ] Darkrai's voice turned cold. What about the wave guide messenger? Except for Alicia and Alice, He will not completely trust any human.

...Aislo is not a human.

[I still have faith in the character of the wave guide messenger... Never mind, if you want to follow me, just go ahead.] Hua Yanguai smiled indifferently. In her thousand-year life, she had met many wave guide messengers, and the personalities of those guys were surprisingly consistent in essence.

……

Aislo walked slowly through the corridor without any sound of footsteps. He looked around casually, but finally lowered his head and watched his steps.

When he came outside, the bright moon in the night sky looked no different from usual. If he ignored the fact that there were no lights on in Yuanzhi Town, perhaps Aislo would just think it was just an ordinary night.

The black figure leaped lightly, as nimbly as a kitten jumping onto a table, and arrived at the roof of the Pokémon Center. Eslo slowly sat down and looked up at the sky.

The stars were dim, only the bright moon was hanging alone. Aislo raised his arms to block the moonlight and remained silent.

【…】

On a tall building far away from the boy, Darkrai watched the scene quietly without saying a word.

As for why he didn't go up to persuade her... His own mental state was somewhat problematic, so what was there to persuade? He didn't have the sun-like affinity that Alicia had.

[Sigh...] After a long sigh, Darkrai opened his eyes again, his gaze fixed behind Eslo, where two figures were slowly climbing up.
