Pokemon Dawn

When the sun began to set, the silver-white helicopter landed on the southeast coast of the Land of Beyond.

The boys and girls stepped off the helicopter and stepped on the soft sand of the land beyond.

It was approaching evening, and the warm sunlight shone on the sea, creating sparkling waves and giving the helicopter a coat of light.

This is a rare sight for an unknown land. It is said that the clouds over the other land are not very thick, so they will not completely block the sunshine. Generally speaking, you can definitely encounter a sunny day within a week.

.

——Of course, even if the clouds are thin, it is still more than enough to block the shooting of satellite images.

"Well..." Xiaojie observed the scenery in front of him with a complicated expression, and finally came to this conclusion: "It feels like being invaded by human civilization."

"Hahaha." The silver-haired young man couldn't help but chuckle, "It's a pity that the invasion of human civilization has only reached the edge of this beach."

"Ah, that's great!"

Next to the golden beach, there stands a group of wooden buildings that are neither high nor short - it is said that this is the shore supply station of the Land of Beyond, and it is also the only trace of human civilization in the Land of Beyond.

There are not many buildings in the supply station, but they are all very delicately built. From a distance, you can see people coming in and out - according to Xinghai, there are inspection teams stationed in the other side all year round, and most of the leaders are people with special skills.

A strong man with the power of the King of Heaven.

"Let's go and say hello to the team leader this time."

Xinghai smiled, turned around and said to the brown-haired woman on the helicopter, "Then, Miss Asai——"

"I'll go look around first and pick you up later." Mitsue Asai waved casually, "You have fun with those children!"

Amidst the roar, the silver-white helicopter flew away. The four people, whose faces were covered in sand, looked at each other in shock.

"We...are not here to play..." Xiaoling's retort was also swallowed up by the noise of the rotors, and she had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​​​refuting.

"Mr. Xinghai...eh?"

When everyone turned around, they saw Xinghai standing more than ten meters away from everyone, smiling and waving, "Here, follow me."

"..."

"how?"

"Mr. Xinghai...Since I knew Miss Asai would be so impatient to start the helicopter, she would have warned us when she got away, qaq!"

The four of them walked to the supply station on the shore with Xinghai. Many people in work clothes who came and went stopped what they were doing and greeted Xinghai—probably the people from the inspection team that Xinghai mentioned before.

"The main task of the investigation team stationed in the Land Beyond is to find the location of the gray crystal veins. The Gray Crystal reserves in the Land Beyond are quite large, which is also the biggest benefit it brings to the alliance."

After briefly introducing the work of the expedition team to the Land of Beyond, Xinghai stopped in front of the central building of the supply station and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." A young male's voice came from inside the house.

"Excuse me."

Following Xinghai into the house, the four young people were almost thinking, "The voice just now seems familiar" - however, without any further thinking, the answer was revealed in a second.

"Oh, the sea of ​​stars!"

The young man sitting at the table stood up.

He had flaming crimson hair that was curly and messy. When he saw the visitor, he almost immediately showed a hearty smile, and the vitality between his eyebrows was as lively as that of a teenager.

"Long time no see, Daye." The silver-haired young man greeted him in a familiar tone.

Daye, one of the Four Heavenly Kings in the Sinnoh region, is proficient in the fire attribute. For young freelance trainers, his appearance is indeed famous enough. He is only twenty-five years old, but he has been firmly seated as the Four Heavenly Kings for five years.

, can be said to be the spokesperson of young and promising trainers.

Xinghai and Daye seemed to have known each other for a long time, and they talked to each other casually and intimately. After exchanging a few words, Daye cast his gaze behind Xinghai, "Xinghai, who are these children?"

"They are free trainers who were invited here to practice." Xinghai explained with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Daye." The four people greeted Daye one after another.

"I see." Daye nodded clearly, "There have been more and more young people coming here for training recently. I just sent away a group of children about their age a few days ago."

Xiaojie blinked, quietly turned sideways, and whispered to his friends: "Hey, listening to what Mr. Daye said, do you feel that this place is like a secret treasure land for experience?"

"It should be called a hidden copy." Xiaoling added seriously.

"Ah, Xinghai." As if he suddenly discovered something, Daye bent down with interest and looked at Xiaotian, who had not spoken much. "This little sister looks so much like you, is she your daughter?"

Xinghai: "..."

When his vision almost went dark, the well-informed investigator actually felt a sense of familiarity.

A careless friend mistakenly admitted the gender of his descendant/son...

It seems like it happened once many years ago?

The air fell into a deathly silence. Even the thick-lined Fire King realized something was wrong, and immediately scratched his head in confusion, "What...?"

Xiaotian expressionlessly extended his right hand to the red-haired young man.

"This is our first meeting, Mr. Daye. I am Shen Yutian, the son of Investigator Shen Yu. Please give me your advice."

"Please give me some advice, Xiaotian. Sure enough, let me tell you, it must be..."

Halfway through the handshake between Daye and Xiaotian, they suddenly froze in the air.

There was a bit of embarrassment on the young man's face.

"...Eh, son?"

The silence lasted for three seconds.

Xiaojie: "Hahahahahaha!"

Xiaoling: "Hahahahahahahahahahaha!"

Amidst the cheerful laughter of the golden retriever brother and sister, Xinghai held his forehead and sighed. As for Xiaoye - in order to prevent Xiaotian from getting completely embarrassed, she decided not to laugh out loud.

And, as a blind man who once misidentified Xiaotian's gender, Xiaoye actually felt a little understanding of the embarrassed Daye.

——Then why are the cutest boys??

After the conversation and laughter ended - although one person could not laugh at all - Daye, as the leader of this expedition, dutifully introduced the general situation of the other side to the four young people.

"This is an unknown land, and most electronic products including electronic maps cannot be used. Therefore, you must keep this."

Daye smiled and handed several paper atlases to Xiaoye and others.

Nineteen years have passed since the Land of Beyond was first discovered in 981 of the Elven Calendar. Despite losing the help of modern technology, over a long period of time, the Alliance has explored most of the areas of Beyond.

Based on this, an accurate map was drawn.

"Except for the unexplored areas marked, you can wander around anywhere else - in fact, I think there is no danger in unexplored areas, but if I encourage you to take risks, I will be taught a lesson by Xinghai."

The red-haired young man said with a smile, completely without the airs of the Four Heavenly Kings.

——Maybe half of it is because I just went blind once and can't put on airs at all.

"Are all electronic products inoperable?" Xiaoling was a little unsure of her ability to read paper maps - after all, no one knows how to use paper maps nowadays.

"Almost all electronic products that need to receive signals from the outside world cannot be used, such as electronic maps and mobile phones."

You can also use—and Poké Balls."

"In other words, you can capture Pokémon in the other land?" Xiaoye asked tentatively.

"That's right." Xinghai nodded, "There are many Pokémon here that are hard to see in the Kanto area. You can tame them at will."

"The automatic transmission function of the Poké Ball is disabled here. In other words, you can temporarily enjoy the novelty of carrying a dozen Pokémon here." Daye said with a smile - such a statement is extremely shocking.

He suspected that he had done this himself, "Of course, after you leave the range of the unknown land, any Pokémon with more than six will be automatically teleported away."

"Hey, what a pity. It would be great if I could always carry a dozen Pokémon with me." Xiaoling sighed.

"Then join our search department. If the work is done well enough, you may be rewarded with an increase in the number of Pokémon you can carry." Xinghai said jokingly.

"Yes, don't use any illegal means in a hurry." Daye emphasized - although such a statement made people extremely doubt that he had done this himself.

Xiaoye:... (feeling guilty)

The plug-in purchased at the White Crow Underground Dueling Ground... must be an illegal method, right?

You must not expose it, otherwise...

I'm afraid I'll be thrown into jail.

The time the four of them can stay in the Other Land is half a month - that is to say, they must return to the shore supply station on April 27. During this half month, they will not encounter any Pokémon.

Center, or other places where humans live together. This is completely different from the usual wilderness travel, so more complete travel and adventure supplies need to be prepared.

The boys and girls replenished the food and medicine needed for the journey at the supply warehouse, and Xiaoye was no exception - all supplies were free, so there was no need to worry about insufficient savings.

Before leaving the supply station, Daye handed several translucent whistles to four people respectively.

"If you encounter life-threatening danger during the training, just blow it." Daye said with a smile, "Within three minutes, there will be a powerful guy to save you - oh, do you want to ask who the rescuer is?

What a pity, it’s a secret~”

"Hey - it's a foul to make people appetizing, Mr. Daye!"

"Hahaha." The hearty red-haired young man let out an irresponsible laugh, "But once you blow it, your journey of experience will be over, so you must make a decision carefully."

The Alliance can regard the land beyond as a training ground for young people, and naturally has corresponding measures to ensure the safety of trainers - now it seems that this whistle is the secret.

Although the boys and girls who got it couldn't understand the principle at all.

Xiaoye took the translucent whistle from Daye's hand. The glass-like material was flowing with rhythmic luster, like sand about to melt under a high-temperature fire. Staring at the light, Xiaoye couldn't help but think of the thing hanging on her chest at this time.

Heart of leaves.

I always feel... very similar.

"The above are all the precautions for training in the other land." The silver-haired young man said with a smile, casting his eyes towards the jungle deep in the land.

It is a place where human civilization has not yet set foot. The earth maintains its original color, like a magnificent rough stone, attracting all curious explorers to go deep into it and complete a miracle of encounter between human beings and nature.

"Please fully enjoy the next time - half a month later, on April 27th, I will be here waiting for you."

"So, have a nice trip."

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

Small theater:

Daye: (with great interest) This little sister looks so much like you, is she your daughter?

Xiaotian: (expressionless) First time meeting, Mr. Daye. I am Shen Yutian, the son of Investigator Shenyu. Please give me your advice.

Daye: Please give me more advice, Xiaotian. Sure enough, let me tell you, looking so similar must be... eh, son? (embarrassed)

Xiaoye: (nodding like a person coming over) Welcome to the mistaken gender blind team.
