There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

As the dazzling white light gradually faded away, the fossil pterosaur completely let down its guard and softened its body. Its huge head rested on the boy's shoulder, and tears as big as beans rolled down.

After the bloodthirsty rage that had penetrated deep into his bones had dissipated, the boy's white clothes were already wet with tears, revealing his tender pink flesh color.

Shuo Guye lowered his eyes, suppressing the inexplicable rage in his heart that was boiling like a fire, and continued to stroke the neck of the fossil pterosaur until it stopped sobbing and returned to normal.

"Let's go out together." Shuo Gu Ye said softly, like a falling leaf floating by, "Run and fly in the sunshine. That's where you should live."

Instead, it stays in the depths of this dark cave, staring vigilantly at all life with its blood-red eyes, driving away all warm existences.

"Don't hide in darkness, pursue the light and run towards tomorrow."

The fossil pterosaur shrank back for a moment when he heard the word "light", and a faint yearning appeared in his eyes.

When it finally escaped from the nightmare land, the sun was setting.

Everything disappeared without a trace before it even had the chance to feel the warmth of the sun. It seemed that even the sun, which always spread warmth to all life on earth, could deliberately avoid this thing that was not even a living thing.

It really longed for the sunshine and freedom that the boy talked about.

But at the same time, the fossil pterosaur can also feel that the pain that has always plagued it has not completely disappeared. It is still hidden under the skin, in the bones, and in the machinery, and will erupt again at some point in the future.

Just like this time, all rationality was melted away, leaving only manic instincts to attack others.

The fossil pterosaur didn't want to cause countless innocent lives to be hurt in the future because of his momentary indulgence.

It slowly raised its head from the boy's shoulder, and after a quick glance, its eyes finally landed on his chest which was covered by the backpack.

The fossil pterosaur's gaze seemed to penetrate the cloth and take a closer look at what was the thing that could draw away its anger.

Sakuya Ye realized what the Pokémon in front of him was thinking. After taking off the backpack and handing it to Nido beside him, he raised his hands and placed them on his white neck. He hooked a nearly transparent silk thread with his fingertips and lowered his head to take it off.

He generously placed the oddly shaped pendant in his palm to show it to the fossil pterosaur, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.

"Perhaps it was this pendant that helped you regain your sanity." Shuo Guye slowly put his hand back to his chest and whispered, "I'm sorry, this is something someone else temporarily left with me. I don't have the power to decide whether to keep it or not, so I can't give it to you."

The fossil pterosaur's gaze only stayed on the piece of gear that looked like a gear removed from an inconspicuous machine for a second after its light faded, and then it looked away, just in time to hear the boy's guilt-filled words.

It shook its head slightly, without feeling any regret or anger about it.

After all, it felt the entanglement of three auras on this gear-shaped pendant.

There were two extremely similar auras, almost identical to the aura called "Legendary Pokémon" that was introduced to him by the white coats.

The other one was different from the previous two powerful auras.

It is obviously extremely fragile, as if it will fall apart with a single blow.

But it is extremely tenacious, just like a blade of grass, always standing firm in the center of the two auras, balanced and coordinated.

It is very similar to the one on the young man in front of him, but also different.

Just like myself.

Resurrected from fossils, no matter how closely they imitate, they are still significantly different from the Pokémon of this era.

That is the mark of history left by the long river of time that cannot be concealed.

The fossil pterosaurs did not know that this mark is called bloodline in the human worldview.

It was precisely because of the young man's similarity to this aura that he was able to exert his power and dispel the violence in his heart.

----

Shuo Gu Ye took back the pendant, raised his head and looked into the fossil pterosaur's still blood-red eyes.

After a moment, he raised his other hand, and a round sphere with distinct red and white colors was in his palm.

"Or..." The young man took a deep breath and sincerely invited, "Are you willing to come with me to witness all the warmth and beauty in this world?"

Just as Shuoya Ye raised his hand, a sharp cry unique to bird Pokémon came from above his head, reverberating at the bottom of the pit with waves of echoes.

Shuo Gu Ye's expression changed, and his extended right hand trembled slightly.

Ever since the fossil pterosaur appeared, he thought of the reason why Team Rocket appeared in this cave.

Could it be the Rockets that are about to fall from overhead so blatantly at this moment?

Cold sweat broke out on Shuo Guye's forehead, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down slightly.

Almost the next moment, he woke up his brain which had suddenly shut down due to the bird's cry, turned his head and lowered his voice.

"Nidoqueen, Viper, Psyduck, and Eevee all hide, and Ditto transforms into a backpack and sits on my shoulder."

The scattering is for sneak attack, and Ditto is hiding in order to break through.

"As for the fossil pterosaur..."

Before he could continue thinking about how to cover up such a huge creature, a subtle red light flashed, accompanied by a clear "dingdong" sound, and the figure of the fossil pterosaur disappeared, leaving only the young man holding the Poké Ball in the air.

He blinked, as if he couldn't believe that the ancient overlord Pokémon could be captured so easily and become his Pokémon.

But he quickly regained his composure. Just as he shrunk the Poké Ball and held it in his palm, a dark figure fell from the sky, accompanied by a man's low and concerned voice.

"Sakuya?"

This voice is...Master Sakaki? !

Just as Sakutani Ye was stunned, a flashlight shone beside him, and Sakaki's tall figure appeared in front of him.

"Are you okay?"

Sakaki came over anxiously and looked the boy up and down for several times. The shocking bloodstains and the soaked sleeves and bandages made this concerned man hold his breath nervously, "What happened? Did you fall accidentally? Do you have any symptoms such as difficulty breathing or dizziness?"

After experiencing splitting headaches, thrilling battles, and the collapse of life-and-death crises, Shuoya finally met a gym trainer he could rely on. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing serious, it just looks scary."

"That's good." Sakaki patted his chest. His neatly ironed suit had become wrinkled.

The next moment, he looked around vigilantly and raised his hand to protect Shuoya Ye behind him.

His Pokémon Pidgeot was also influenced by the trainer and moved forward a distance to block the two of them.

Sakaki frowned and waved his flashlight, illuminating the scarred stone walls and horrific footprints on the ground in the area. There were traces of battle everywhere.

"Is there something here?" Sakaki asked in a deep voice. "I heard a huge explosion, and rushed here after hearing the ground shaking violently. What I saw was this depression that looked like a piece of it had been dug out."

Sakaki's eyes flashed, "At the same time, I seemed to hear the roar of some creature."

Sakuya Ye looked blankly at the man in a protective posture, but after listening to his explanation, she relaxed, smiled and was about to show the Poké Ball in her hand to Sakaki.

But before he could loosen his clenched hands, his previous speculations about the current situation of the Pokémon League flooded into his mind.

This made Sakuya Ye, who had loosened his hands a little, close them tightly again, and asked under Sakaki's tight protection, "The roar?"

Sakaki nodded and continued to ask, "Did you find anything down there?"

"No." Sakuya Ye's eyes were evasive, and he greeted Nidoqueen who quietly poked his head out, and who accidentally exposed his tail and then showed his body and walked over.

"Maybe it's the cry of Nidoqueen?"

"Nidoqueen...?"

Sakaki narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you saying that Nidoqueen didn't mean to let out such an angry roar?"

"Yeah, I was startled too." Sakuya Ye lowered her eyes, as if she hadn't noticed the doubt in Sakaki's words. "There's nothing down there, and the flashlight is broken. I was a little sleepy, and in order to prevent myself from dying like the cannon fodder in the movies after a nap, the Nidoqueens had a sparring match. Is it considered... a show?"

After that, he shouted loudly, "Eevee, Snake, and Psyduck!"

Under the illumination of the flashlight, the other three Pokémon soon gathered together. Among them, the Green Ivy Snake was still breathing slightly, as if it had just experienced some intense exercise.

"I guess Nidoqueen got angry during the fight and yelled a few words unintentionally."

Sakuya Ye walked to the side of Nidoqueen and raised his hand to place it on its hard scales.

Nidoqueen had her hands in her pockets, a small backpack hanging on her hands, and her expression was full of grievance and guilt.

"Come, thank Master Sakaki with me."

Seeing that the boy was about to drag his gauze-wrapped body to bow and thank him, Sakaki still had his doubts, but he did not let the boy act recklessly.

He scolded the boy for leaving the team without permission and letting the Pokémon waste their energy, then sighed helplessly and asked Pidgeot to send the injured up.

After Sakuya Ye left, Sakaki walked towards a rock step by step. Having completed the task, Pidgeot landed on the boulder and tidied his feathers.

The man fixed his eyes on a strange scratch on the side of the boulder top and chuckled as he examined it closely.

A minute later, he raised the miniature walkie-talkie he had obtained from his men in the cave and said.

"BM0242 has been captured by the trainer. Operation canceled. Evacuate the cave within five minutes."

"Yes!"

"Which fool dares to touch the target of our Rocket Team? Boss, do you think we should..."

The sneer on the other end of the intercom made the smart-aleck Rocket Team pawn tremble, and added in a trembling voice, "After all, after all, isn't this Lord Cole's very precious experiment?"

"Cole has a lot of experimental projects. In addition to Pokémon, he also needs a lot of people who 'voluntarily' participate in the experiments."

"I think you might be more suitable to be a test subject than to participate in the mission."

----

Sakaki cut off the communication, threw the walkie-talkie casually on the ground, crushed it with his foot, and showed a meaningful expression.

The man stroked the feathers on Pidgeot's neck and said with a smile, "He is much more cunning than he was eight years ago. He is no longer obedient."

"I still miss that skinny little boy who would lower his head nervously and greet me when he saw me."
