Pokemon Dawn

"Anyway, in short, this is what happened..."

Xiaojie wanted to laugh a few times as usual to lighten the atmosphere, but unfortunately the look from the silver-haired boy opposite him was so terrifying that he ended up just smiling awkwardly.

When they entered, it happened to be lunch time at the Pokémon Center, so Xiaotian was very reasonable and ate with everyone first. However, the four members of the expedition team unanimously felt that it was better not to eat this tasteless meal.

Especially Xiaojie, after recalling what he had done...he just wanted to get under the table immediately.

Looking at it this way, Xiaotian actually had a good temper. After being yelled at inexplicably and being covered in dust by the wings of four Pokémon, he actually didn't go berserk on the spot and knock down the guys who flew away.

After finishing lunch silently, Xiaojie did not need Xiaotian to remind him again, and consciously explained everything that had happened so far - although he had decided to conceal it temporarily to prevent "nightmare contagion", if he still concealed it now , Xiaojie felt that he might be strangled to death by Iceberg Boy before being killed by Nightmare.

Xiaotian seemed to calmly listen to Xiaojie's story and nodded, "I understand. So, is this why you deliberately concealed this matter?"

The card with the blurry mask pattern spun around a few times in Xiaotian's hands before being thrown back onto the table lightly. The slight collision made the two golden retrievers tremble, and they immediately fell to the ground - well, now they can only lie on the table - and shouted in unison, "I'm sorry, we were wrong!"

Xiaotian was really startled by this fresh gesture of apology, and his anger was frightened away.Looking to the side, even Tongye, who is four years older, has the expression of a primary school student who has done something wrong. This makes everyone around him think that Xiaotian is a bully who bullies others, and they all look at him with condemnation or dissatisfaction. , Just rush out and do something brave.

"Okay." Xiaotian wordlessly took off the two golden retriever heads from the table and signaled Xiaojie and Xiaoling not to continue lying there in embarrassment. "I don't think there is any need to hide this kind of thing. Don't you also?" Have you learned a lot from Xiaoye?"

W-what does it mean to learn from me badly?

Xiaoye, who had always been silent and transparent, suddenly felt aggrieved and turned into a conch.

Xiaoling thought for a while, but in the end she didn't have the nerve to really echo, "Yes, it's all Xiaoye's fault." She then scratched her head in frustration, "Sorry...Actually, we didn't avoid you on purpose. We didn't even think of it before. Things have become so troublesome, and I thought they would be solved soon.”

"Yeah, I know. It's okay." The silver-haired boy nodded, his tone unexpectedly calm, as if he really no longer cared that he was the only one in the dark.

After understanding the whole process, Xiaotian could see that this incident was just a minor incident before today.Nightmares are indeed disturbing, but it is not uncommon for trainers to be teased by Pokémon such as Incubus while sleeping in the wild. This alone is not enough to call for help in a big way.

To this day, I first took a train that shouldn't exist, experienced a scene where everyone was suspected of being killed, and then saw a weird mask looming on people's faces - according to Xiaojie, the mask was stuck on his face She even shed tears of blood.A series of encounters caused the nature of the matter to take a turn for the worse, and no one had time to tell him the details.

"Then, let's start the combat meeting next?" Seeing that the young guys finally talked the conflict away, Tongye quietly breathed a sigh of relief and talked about the business with a smile, "The next action has not been decided yet. "

"Yes. There are too many things we don't understand. Sure enough, we still need to go to the subway station again." Xiaojie looked reluctant, obviously not wanting to experience the near-death experience again.

"I have an idea about what you described in the subway station." Xiaotian said, glancing at Tongye next to him, and as expected, he saw the same meaning in those forest-colored eyes.

"Let's do this..."

June th, five o'clock in the morning.

In the dim room, four young trainers stood up at the same time with the momentum of a dying illness. Xiaoling even knocked the cell phone off the bedside table in her excitement.

The mobile phone rolled into a ball on the floor and made a heartbreaking sound of ding-ding-dong-dong. The screen may have died heroically.The four people looked at each other silently in this bustling movement, their eyes filled with grief.

And headaches, the physical kind.

Xinghai, who was awakened, opened his eyes blankly, looked out the window at the gray sky, and then at the four children sitting together, and asked hesitantly, "What are you...doing?"

Xiaojie and Xiaoling said almost without thinking: "Go to bed early and get up early for good health."

The other two people were only stuck for a second, and they immediately said in unison in a well-trained manner: "They are right."

Xinghai: "..."

The well-informed investigator, with his shaggy hair on his head, suspected that he was hallucinating while sleeping.

The four of them finally finished washing and dressing under the suspicious gaze of the silver-haired young man. They met up with Tongye who was waiting in the lobby. They finally dared to speak loudly after walking out of the Pokémon Center.

After all, getting up and tossing around at five o'clock is really suspected of disturbing the public.

"So, Xiaotian also had the same dream?" Tongye frowned worriedly.

Xiaotian nodded, "The details are basically consistent with your previous description."

"Sure enough, cards and stamps are the source of infection? Or... the urban legend itself?" Xiaojie was horrified by his own imagination - is this an urban legend or a severe plague?

"If we still get nothing today, let's burn all the cards and stamps. Maybe they will be of some use." Xiaoling hugged her head bitterly, "My head hurts. If this continues, we will all retire early... …Did the guy who made us dream secretly crack walnuts with our heads?”

"……puff."

Although the complaint was sincere, her fellow prisoners couldn't help but laugh out loud because of her choice of words.The golden-haired girl suddenly became even more frustrated, "I'm not kidding! Now if you ask me how to deal with evil-type Pokémon, maybe I will tell you to use telekinesis."

"I understand, I understand. It's not impossible to use your mind to move rocks and hit her." Xiaojie patted his sister on the shoulder comfortingly.

When a group of people laughed happily, Xiaotian, who had not been troubled by headaches for the time being, failed to laugh at all. Instead, he frowned even more tightly, "If today's operation fails, I will tell you about this." My father asked for his help."

"Oh, it would be great if Mr. Xinghai would help. A mere masked monster is definitely no match for Mr. Xinghai!"

The golden retriever brother and sister immediately became happy after hearing this, but Xiaoye and Tongye did not immediately follow suit and seemed a little hesitant.As if he had read what they were thinking in advance, Xiaotian then said, "Don't worry about troublesome him, father likes to be troubled."

The honest comment from his son immediately choked the two people who were more polite and speechless.It's understandable that you don't mind being troubled, but you like being troubled... Is this a necessary professional quality for being an investigator?

Xiaotian: "If you are in trouble and don't let him help, he will be angry."

Night:"……"

Tongye: "..."

It's so professional, I'm convinced.

At six-thirty in the morning, five people stood on time at the terminal station of the Hibiya Line, the H18 Minami-Senju platform.

The subway station is always very quiet at this time.The young trainers were silent as if they were afraid of disturbing the stagnant air, standing side by side like sculptures.

The familiar friction sound of wheels and rails sounded again.The black and white train, as if it came from another world, came with a rotten atmosphere, stopped beside the platform, and creaked open its door.

The expedition team exchanged glances with each other. As Xiaotian made the agreed gesture, several voices sounded at the same time.

"Spiritual strength!"

The bright blue light fell from the sky with a buzzing sound, creating a hurricane centered on the trainers.Xiaojie, who squinted his eyes, vaguely saw that the old black and white train was cracked inch by inch - no, no, it wasn't just the train that was broken.

is the whole world.

Like fragments of a kaleidoscope, the scene in front of me was distorted to the extreme and then exploded, revealing the true appearance that had been blocked - the platform was empty, and where was the shadow of any black and white train?

"It's really an illusion." Xiaotian said softly, looking at the figures running away in panic at the end of the tunnel.

Whether it is an old black and white train or a human-eating monster, they are not things that should appear in this subway station.Compared with the original author whose magical powers were so powerful that he could cause incredible abnormalities to appear underground in Miyuan City, "hallucination" is a more likely answer - and the ghosts and dream monsters who accidentally revealed their bodies after the illusion was shattered are also... It illustrates this point.

Several Pokémon that had been floating quietly on the ceiling for a long time also fell down and returned to the trainers. Saya's Ghost Stone, Gon's Casey and Metal Monster, Xiao Ling's Yongjila, Tongye's Butterfly - these five Pokémon that have mastered telekinesis moves are the key to their use to deal with hallucinations. . If the black and white train is the beginning of the illusion, then the best time to fight back is before stepping onto the train. Both human wandering spirits and ghost-type Pokémon can turn invisible, but in order to cast an illusion, they must be nearby. The mental force released indiscriminately to the surroundings will definitely affect them, making them unable to maintain the illusion. of display.

"Ah, my surname is Xia Yang, but I was taken down by illusion so easily. It's so embarrassing." Xiaoling lowered her head in frustration.

"Not only was he captured, but fortunately I didn't think for a long time that it might be an illusion. It's even more embarrassing..." Xiaojie simply bent forward in frustration.

Xiaotian and Tongye, whose IQs were all online, gave each other a brisk look.As for Xiaoye... Although he had guessed that this might be an illusion when the waveguide detection failed - the illusion would directly affect people's five senses, but it could not simulate perception methods other than the five senses - but Naihe never had the chance to say it out.Before she confessed to Tongye that she was the messenger of Wave, Luan Wu's mask and Xiaotian, whose anger level was beyond the limit, disrupted their combat meeting one after another. Xiaoye could only hold back her full words silently like a conch.

"Although it was the ghost-type Pokémon in the subway station that cast the illusion, I always feel that it has something to do with the Masked Magician." Xiaojie looked at the direction in which the ghosts were fleeing and thought deeply.

"I feel the same way." Tongye nodded, "We did fall under the illusion only at 6:30 in the morning. Masked monsters frequently appeared in our dreams. Mr. Masked Magician's soul may even have been there just now. Nearby - Do you still remember the ringing phone we heard yesterday after we entered the train? Mr. Masked Magician's personal biography states that he was trying to answer a phone call when the accident occurred, so he was distracted and failed to do so. Avoiding the out-of-control truck that hit him from the opposite direction. The ringing we heard might be a fragment of his memory before his death."

Xiaoling also agreed: "Indeed, wandering spirits will gradually lose a lot of memories when they stay in the world. Only the most unforgettable content will not be lost, such as the scene at death. And if, as we guessed, Mr. Masked Magician was alive If he is an illusion type superpower user..."

"The construction of the illusion is based on the memory of the illusionist. It is normal for the illusion cast by his soul to be mixed with the most impressive information." Xiaoye completed Xiaoling's speculation and cast her gaze deep into the tunnel, "As for why we You’re going to see these hallucinations, and I think as long as I keep going forward, I’ll find out.”

In other words, the results of the waveguide detection have actually conveyed the answer to the waveguide messenger girl——

The five people jumped off the platform nimbly and continued deeper along the subway track. There was no station ahead. This was supposed to be the area where the subway turned around and re-entered the platform, but there was a fork in the road. They chose the more dilapidated road. There was no light source in the dim abandoned tunnel, and they could only rely on Pokémon's flashing moves for illumination. When they finally came to the end of the road, everyone looked shocked.

Among the staggered cracks and rubble, an object emitting a faint red light is more conspicuous than anything else.

Those who have followed the news will be familiar with its appearance——

It was the most powerful bomb used by the prisoners in the recent Miyuan bombing.
