Pokemon Dawn

In the warm sunlight slanting down from the west, four young free trainers set off and entered a jungle that had never been invaded by human civilization.

——Although their journey today will not be too long.

"Ah, the sun seems to be setting soon." Xiaojie looked at the sky, "We actually spent the whole afternoon on the helicopter."

"I probably won't be able to walk very far today." Xiaoling looked at the map in her hand and muttered to find her location.

"How about we stop here today?" The silver-haired boy who had been silent for a long time suddenly spoke and pointed to a certain location on the paper map.

"Where is it?" The other three people came up one after another.

Looking in the direction of Xiaotian's finger - it was the "lake" icon not far from the supply station on the shore.

"Star Lake?"

Xiaojie nodded, "The distance is about the same, I think it's okay."

"I agree. But...well, how do you tell the distance from a paper map..." Xiaoling asked weakly from the side.

"Pfft, Xiaoling, your terrain lesson was in vain."

The golden retriever brother and sister began to discuss the issue of maps and scales, and Xiaotian turned his questioning eyes to Xiaoye.

"Of course I have no objection." Xiaoye said immediately.

Star Lake [Japanese: 星の湖, hoshi_no_mizuumi, English: ke] is located not far to the north of the shore supply station, surrounded by dense forests. It is said that this lake has a beautiful scenery that is rare in the world, and the Pokémon around it are also very aggressive.

It's not too strong, but it's a good place to rest.

——In that map book, which is not exquisitely bound, almost all the information about every explored area in the land beyond is recorded. For those who are new to the experience, it is the only source of information and must be carefully read.

Just finish reading it.

Facts have proved that the information in the atlas was not wrong. Perhaps because it was close to the supply station on the shore, the four young people of the new team "Dawn" did not encounter many obstacles from wild Pokémon along the way. Initially,

The road to adventure is smooth.

When night enveloped the sky, the four of them arrived at the lakeside called "Stars".

——Then, they saw a vast sea of ​​stars.

Stars dot the night sky and the lake; in other words, the lake itself is the second starry sky - countless light spots that flicker and fade at the bottom of the lake, shining with colorful brilliance; while the lake is as transparent as the most beautiful.

The clearest crystal, it's like there is no lake at all. The fish Pokémon dance freely in the air, becoming elves in the starry sky.

"The water quality of Xingchen Lake is very clear, and there are many shining small stones sleeping at the bottom of the lake, which look like twinkling stars at night - it is said that these stones can echo the emotions of living beings and show different colors."

Xiaojie read softly the introduction to Xingchen Lake in the atlas and cast his gaze on the colorful light spots in the lake.

"In other words, these stones at the bottom of the lake are..."

"Grey Crystal." Xiaotian replied calmly.

Gray crystal is a natural mineral with a texture similar to crystal. The ancients once called it "soul crystal" and said that it has the power to see into people's souls - in fact, gray crystal does always appear translucent gray, and only in

When in contact with life, it becomes radiant.

What really brought gray crystal into the public eye was that in the year 950 of the Elven Calendar, gray crystal was proven to be a new material very suitable for making computer chips.

The discovery of new materials has naturally brought about the rapid improvement of technological levels, the evolution of computer calculation models, and more in-depth research on this material. At present, the Pokémon League has not yet mastered the method of artificially synthesizing gray crystals.

The need to mine gray crystal veins to maintain production and life. The area of ​​Beyond Land is only one-third of the Kanto area, but there are a large number of gray crystal veins that are much larger than those in Kanto - this is why the discovery of Beyond Land has given the Alliance

bring the greatest benefits.

In the land beyond, such strange stones are not uncommon.

"Wow, it's like the stars have come to the ground."

"It's a pity that the mobile phone can't be used, otherwise I really want to take some photos as a souvenir."

After sighing a few words, the golden retriever brother and sister immediately started the long-awaited part - dinner.

Everyone has brought enough food at the supply station, and there are many fruit trees by the Star Lake. The food is very abundant - at least it is much better than the embarrassing picnic on Honglian Volcano.

"I'm going to look for fruit trees nearby. Maybe I can encounter rare varieties." Xiaojie stood up and looked back at his three friends.

Xiaoye and Xiaoling have already placed the tableware and are preparing to set up the stove. Xiaotian is washing fresh vegetables from the supply station by the lake. His silver hair is scattered like the bright moon; the twinkling starlight is reflected in the boy's pupils.

, the cool ice blue is dyed so brilliantly that it is as dazzling as if it contains the brilliance of the whole world.

Xiaojie blinked and suddenly laughed mischievously.

"I'm going to find fruit now. Do you want to go with me, little sister Xiaotian——"

Xiaoye:......(stiff)

Xiaoling:…………(dumb)

Xiaojie immediately saw that the soft light in those ice-blue eyes turned into angry fire, and even the words the young man uttered were no longer calm.

"Yan, the big characters are Explosive Flame."

"Eh?...Wait a minute, Iceberg boy, don't get excited...Ahhhhh!"

booooooooom——

After a wave of explosions, Xiaoling sighed and reached out to poke the freshly baked Xiaojie brand coke.

"It's your own fault." This is how my sister defined her brother's behavior.

Xiaoye:...I was so lucky that I wasn't burned by the fire. (Shivering)

Under the cover of night, the four of them enjoyed their first dinner in the other side. All of them were mortal-level cooking skills and no need for a second judgment - after dinner, the inevitable battle was naturally required.

"Just in time to make up for the unfinished scene at Red Lotus Volcano" - said the resurrected Cokeboy.

This time, there will be no angry innkeeper interrupting their battle. Sparks are flying, energy is wanton, and with continuous explosions, they start a passionate battle as always.

When did this customary doubles battle begin?

Staring at the back of Charizard fighting, Xiaoye laughed softly.

In the strong wind, the green boulders swayed, shining together with the stars in the lake. Heart of Leaf, this special gift from Celebi, was hung on their chests by the four of them - just like the team "Dawn" itself

The proof is general.

The exciting emotions resonated in the instructions, and the heart of the leaf gradually became brighter. When the four boulders lit up at the same time, the lake named after the stars shined brightly.

At the bottom of the lake, all the colorful stones emitted the most dazzling light. The glow of different colors merged into one, flying high into the night sky, turning into a bright star rising from the ground.

"This is a natural phenomenon that occurs once a week in Star Lake on average. The gray crystals release their accumulated light energy together, forming a pillar of light that runs through the sky and the earth - called Star Falls." Xiaojie dutifully acted as the voice commentator, facing the audience.

Endless starlight, showing an energetic smile, "We are really lucky."

The waterfall of stars brought up the mist of light that filled the sky, and fell on the shoulders of the boys and girls. The curious Pokémon touched the stars in the air with their hands, and accidentally stumbled into the lake, scaring away a group of horned goldfish——

And their trainers were laughing and playing happily, with the vast starry sky reflected in everyone's eyes.

This is the first meeting gift given to them by the other side.

at the same time--

It is also the signal announcing their arrival.

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

Deep in the dense forest, under the tallest giant tree, a thousand-year-old creature opened its eyes.

The endless starlight is reflected in its eyes that have gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes, and its gaze is the gentleness that washes away all the glitz and noise.

"Finally...see you."

"My friend."

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

At the shore of Star Lake, the boys and girls spent their first night in the Land Beyond. On the morning of the 14th, the four of them each chose a different route and began preparations for departure.

This was the advice given to them by Xinghai. Compared with four people working together, the effect of practicing alone would be better - and, due to the existence of the emergency whistle, they did not have to worry too much about their own life safety.

"Then, let's meet here again on the afternoon of April 27, half a month later."

The blond boy smiled and made a promise with his friends.

"Don't be late!"

In the morning light, the four people said goodbye to each other and started their own adventures in four different directions.

The choice of the route was decided by the four people last night. They drew four lines at random and then drew lots, without thinking too much about anything - in this land full of unknowns, every step taken is related to new things.

When we meet, why should we be too cautious?

Xiaoye's route was almost due north, slightly eastward. Starting from Xingchen Lake, he passed through forests and mountainous areas, and finally reached the cold ice fields in the north.

The one-way trip takes about 10 days - so in order to meet the time limit, you must ride a flying Pokémon on the return trip.

After walking in the quiet jungle for more than an hour, when the forest of giant trees rising from the ground appeared in front of her eyes, Xiaoye knew that the first stop of her experience had arrived.

Giant tree forest.

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

Small theater:

Xiaojie: (smiling) I’m going to look for tree fruits now. Do you want to go with me, little sister Xiaotian——

Xiaotian: (anger) Yan, the big character is Explosive Flame.

Xiaojie: (panicked) Huh?...Wait a minute, Bingshan boy, don't get excited...Ahhhhhh!

booooooooom——

Xiaoye:...I was so lucky that I wasn't burned by the fire. (Shivering)

Yan: That’s because my master also mistook your gender. I guarantee that he was so embarrassed that he wanted to hide in the ground. (Half-Moon Eyes)
