Pokemon Dawn

In the dark canyon, only the footsteps of two people echoed around.

The light became increasingly sparse, and even the land beneath my feet gradually became blurred. The field of vision became increasingly narrow, and I could no longer even see the expressions of the people around me clearly.

What is happening in front of the two people now can undoubtedly be described as "weird". The sound and light seem to be swallowed up by darkness - or in other words, this "darkness" is not the "darkness" that ordinary people recognize at all.

"Hey, Xiaoye."

"What?"

"Are you afraid?"

"Absolutely not."

"Hey, what a coincidence, me too."

It takes a lot of courage to walk straight in an environment with unclear vision. Xiaoye could feel that Ari's footsteps were still firm and crisp, without any hesitation.

She did say, "This is the place of practice for the disciples of the Fierce Poison Sect" - now Xiaoye understood the reason why A'jue made this decision. The endless darkness is indeed a suitable place for tempering one's mind.

Effective, yet cruel.

Through the detection of the power of the waveguide, Xiaoye can sense the unchanging canyon environment around her, but this perception is gradually becoming narrower. The stagnant ink color has reduced the fluctuation of the power of the waveguide. The further forward, the more limited the detection range is.

.

The darkness became thicker.

At some point, the echo of the footsteps had completely disappeared, as if the rock walls on both sides did not exist. The footsteps themselves became softer and softer, becoming blurred together with the feeling of stepping on the solid ground.

The strength was disappearing. Both Xiaoye and Ari felt this change.

Haha, it’s such an exciting place——

The gray-haired ninja girl smiled to herself.

====================

Elven calendar year 993.

A young gray-haired girl stumbled along in the dark canyon.

She looked to be only six or seven years old. Her originally neat clothes had a lot of damage, and the wounds on her body were not deep, but she continued to feel unbearable pain.

After walking in the darkness for an unknown amount of time, the exhausted girl finally fell to her knees and sobbed softly.

"It's so dark...I really want to go out..."

For the girl who accidentally fell into the first-line canyon, it was lucky that she was not seriously injured when she fell. The young girl could not climb such a high rock wall, and the only way forward was to the north end.

However, what greeted her was only endless, despairing darkness.

Five years ago, the light red gym leader A'ju picked up her abandoned baby as a baby on the battlefield of Somiana Plains. Perhaps it was because of the excitement brought by the war, even though she could not remember it at that time, she still

This left a psychological scar. The girl, who had been delicate and sensitive since she was a child, became the master's disciple, but failed to learn the strength of the master as a ninja.

Exposed to the all-pervasive darkness, she spent her last strength crying helplessly. When despair surged up from the depths of her mind and was about to drown the young child——

She saw light tearing through the darkness.

Dazzling flashes of light are the interference technique that the light red gym leader is best at.

The light reflected in the eyes, illuminating the visitor's smile.

Many years later, the young and promising heiress of the Fierce Poison Flow can proudly say that that was the moment she was reborn.

"Arui, are you afraid? Then let's make an agreement."

Standing in the light, the young ninja said with a smile.

"When you encounter obstacles, overcome them; if you don't understand, try to understand. When you are confused, remember the curiosity of encountering new things; when you are afraid, remember the joy of surviving the disaster."

"Don't forget - there is an end to darkness."

====================

Guisi tried his best to squeeze out the last strength in his body and once again escaped the attack of the unknown object.

For that delicious fruit, it recklessly went deep into the canyon. The strange sense of oppression made it suddenly lose consciousness midway, and when it woke up, it was already in this strange place.

Nothing can be seen.

There is no light, no sound, no wind, and no life. No matter how hard you open your eyes, there is nothingness in the darkness wherever you look. Even if you shout loudly, you can't stir up any movement.

At a certain moment, Guisi even felt that he was deaf and blind.

The dead silence of nothingness did not last long. With the vague "inspiration" unique to ghost-type Pokémon, Ghost felt that something was approaching.

Dark and huge, like the palm of your hand.

The instinctive sense of crisis made Guisi move. Due to the failure of his senses, Guisi didn't even know whether he was moving or not, so he could only dodge by relying on his intuition.

It had a premonition that once it was caught by that palm, everything would be over.

Time passed slowly - or it might not have passed at all. Guisi didn't know how much time had passed, and he could only feel that his strength was gradually weakening.

Although Ghost is good at fighting, it has no idea what to do when faced with such an invisible enemy.

...there is no end in sight.

The darkness, the same color as the air around him, spread to the bottom of his heart, smearing all the emotions in Guisi's heart.

Guisi couldn't muster any strength, but his mood became calmer.

This is the first time it has experienced the emotion called "despair".

【It doesn’t matter anymore.】

With its depressed mind falling, the ghost stopped running away. It stared into the darkness with its eyes wide open, letting the monster inside reach out for its huge, suffocating palm.

Then, it saw the light.

Like Pangu opening the sky, the darkness was split open. In the center of the blazing crystal blue flames, Xiaoye's expression was still the calm that Guis was most familiar with.

Under the all-round explosion of the power of the waveguide, the sound of wind caused by the impact once again resounded in this canyon that had been silent for thousands of years. The luster adorned Xiaoye's pupils, dyeing the lavender into the unique crystal blue of the waveguide

.

With his right arm raised high, all the brilliance is concentrated in the crystal clear long knife.

The dazzling white light wheel rotated with the chopping action, colliding with the giant beast in the darkness, making a heavy sound of gold and iron.

No, this is not a dazzling light, it is just because the surroundings are too dark.

Among the cracked crystal blue ripples, the white wheel appeared stable, clear, and indestructible, just like the bright full moon in the night. However, the speed of the light wheel was extremely fast, causing countless sounds of wind and thunder.

The bright moon.

Under Xiaoye's most powerful sword skill, everyone felt that the huge unknown object in the darkness retreated.

"It's now!"

Ari threw the treasure ball that he had prepared for a long time, "Dragon King Scorpion, destroy the light!"

At the same time as the crystal blue light went out, the golden light that penetrated the black light up. I don't know if it hit the rock wall, but the entire dark world trembled violently, and the smell of dust filled the void.

Xiaoye grabbed Guisi, and Ari quickly retrieved the Dragon King Scorpion. The unknown object made an angry buzz, but stopped when it saw the crystal blue light flashing again on the opposite side.

The sound of rapid footsteps faded away, and the dark world returned to deathly silence.

"Phew - return safely!" At the south end of the canyon, the gray-haired ninja girl jumped excitedly, "Hahaha, it's so dangerous, so fun!"

Yes, is it interesting?

Xiaoye, whose hands were numb from the shock, suddenly felt ashamed. She didn't want this to happen again.

By the time they reached the depths of the canyon, the waveguide detection range had been reduced to its minimum, and Xiaoye was completely unable to detect what the terrifying giant life form in the darkness was.

It's probably not an ordinary wild Pokémon that can withstand Mingyue Tianhua's full blow without getting hurt.

Guisi, who was held in Xiaoye's arms, was still in a daze, even forgetting that he could fly.

Although he had gone through the aftermath of the disaster, Guisi did not feel joy at this time. He was only at a loss and even his expression turned into confusion.jpg.

When its strength is exhausted, it really thinks its life is over.

Ghost, who was born in the Dark Forest, has long been accustomed to the law of the jungle and the strong being respected. It is normal for weak people to be bullied.

There are no groups in the Dark Forest, and each ghost-type Pokémon is an independent individual. They can freely decide their own actions and can only face battles by themselves.

Such thoughts have long been ingrained in Ghost's mind. It has never thought that when it fell into a desperate crisis, someone would come to its aid regardless of the danger.

That's weird, isn't it? Why would you do that?

Guisi felt confused, so he sincerely asked his doubts.

After Pichu quietly acted as a translator to convey Guisi's meaning, Xiaoye couldn't help but laugh.

"Are you still wondering about such a question now?"

Guisi saw the human girl who was "taking what he wanted" with it and smiled and touched its head, "I should have asked you at the beginning, 'Do you want to be our partner?'"

"I will ask you for help when I need it. And if you are in danger, I will definitely help you."

"This is what 'partner' means."

Xiaoye didn't know whether Guisi understood her words. The dark purple kid still had a stupid expression, but his eyes gradually brightened.

...Wait, is this too bright?

Watching Guisi's eyes change from sparkling to sparkling all over, Xiaoye's brain was stuck for three seconds before she reacted belatedly.

evolution.

Under the gaze of two human girls and an electric mouse, Ghost's figure bathed in glory changed.

Is this... so happy that you evolve?

Recalling the reason why Guisi followed her in the first place, Xiaoye shook her head with a smile.

This guy didn't play by common sense from the beginning to the end.

When the light dissipated, Guisi's originally round body turned into a spiky head. His body grew larger, and his suspended hands appeared beside him.

[Ghoststone, a gas-like Pokémon. If there is nothing in the dark, but you feel like you are being stared at by something, then Ghoststone must be there.]

Although the appearance has undergone earth-shaking changes, the essence has not changed at all - just after completing the evolution, Ghost Stone was jumping up and down and floating randomly, and kept making unexplained screams from his mouth, which even Pichu could not translate.

...Hey, my left hand fell to the ground.

Xiaoye showed an indescribably complicated expression.

The purple ghost, which had grown in size, finally lost both hands and floated happily above Xiaoye's head, its mouth wide open.

However, before it could bite out of habit, a banging sound interrupted its movement.

Xiaoye's other five Pokémon appeared one after another. Feeling the five resentful looks, Ghost shuddered for no reason.

The fire dinosaur's eyes widened, and it spat out a bunch of small flames ferociously. The big water dragon, which turned into a big fire dragon, opened its mouth, revealing its ferocious teeth.

【It's all because of you...that we didn't have lunch!】

"...?...!!!"

Probably no Pokémon will be treated worse than this after evolving - after a while, the trouble-making kid was finally beaten into a piece of paper by the five furious Pokémon.
