Pokemon Dawn

The sunlight moves upward.

Sparse light spots shine through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and fall on the lush grass leaves under the canopy.

In the gigantic forest world, even the light spots were enlarged. Walking in the grass that was as high as her chest, Xiaoye raised her head and looked at the branches and leaves in the distant sky.

The trunk of the tree is as thick as a product of another world, and the youngest leaves are as big as a palm. Everything within sight gives small humans a heavy sense of oppression, as if they have strayed into the kingdom of giants, making people panic.

After expanding the waveguide detection range outwards, Xiaoye noticed another very strange-even creepy fact.

There are many grass-type Pokémon living in the giant tree forest. Their exclusiveness is a major challenge for those who experience the giant tree forest. This is why Xiaoye released Charizard and Woodshou in advance. However, the scene revealed during the detection was different.

Completely different.

A large group of Pokémon were surrounding Xiaoye a hundred meters away. They were not close to Xiaoye, they just moved with Xiaoye's pace, like wild beasts following the blood.

On the left, right, and behind - except for the direction in which Xiaoye was heading, everything else was closely surrounded by wild Pokémon. Surprisingly, Xiaoye, who was extremely sensitive to malice, did not feel any hostility from them.

——It was as if he was deliberately guiding or forcing Xiaoye to walk in a certain direction.

Xiaoye cast her gaze thoughtfully into the depths of the forest, and an idea suddenly jumped out of her mind.

【Is it...does anyone want me to go there?】

The faint sound of the grass flute always sounded intermittently. The distance was too far for Xiaoye to hear what the grass flute was playing, but the hazy feeling reminded Xiaoye of the piece she was most familiar with.

.

"Ahhhhhh."

Charizard carefully tugged on Xiaoye's cuffs - it would be difficult for it to do this as it evolved to become taller - and blinked, showing a very expectant look.

Xiaoye tilted her head.

"you mean……"

"Aww!"

Seeing Charizard nodding happily, Xiaoye couldn't help laughing and touched the big guy's head.

Really, even though he has evolved to his final form, his personality is still the same.

"Well, I understand."

Xiaoye called the Pokémon to rest for a while, and she took out an item from her backpack that Charizard was very familiar with.

——The light green bamboo flute that has accompanied Xiaoye for more than a year.

Leaning against the trunk of the big tree, Xiaoye picked up the bamboo flute and began to play for a long time. When the familiar melody and the same gentle tone hovered in the air, the fire-breathing dragon closed his eyes in enjoyment.

When they were still in Zhenxin Town, playing the bamboo flute after morning jogging was almost the repertoire of Xiaoye and Charmander. During the trip, Xiaoye rarely played the flute, and Charizard almost forgot about it.

——Thanks to the unknown sound of the grass flute, Charizard can experience the nostalgic melody again.

It is a warm, soft and bright tune. The bright melody seems to have the power to purify all darkness, allowing people to see the fading of filth, the birth of a new world, and the reproduction of new life.

As the sound of the bamboo flute echoed in the forest, the sound of the grass flute in the distance also became louder.

Compared with the bamboo flute, the sound of the grass flute is sharper and clearer. Two similar but different timbres are superimposed, jumping between the notes that contrast with each other, and across thousands of mountains and rivers, a heart-warming song is played.

Harmony.

At the end of the song, the sound of the bamboo flute slowly fell.

Charizard was still immersed in the aftertaste of the flute, and Mu Shou Gong was shaking his head solemnly. Xiao Ye held the bamboo flute tightly in her hands, her palms soaked with cold sweat.

What she was playing just now was the only piece of music she had mastered - it was taught to her by her most respected master in her previous life.

This is not a melody that this world should have. However, Xiaoye clearly heard the sound of the grass flute ensemble coming from afar - no one who doesn't understand the melody can play such a seamless harmony.

What on earth is going on?

Under the warm sunshine, the girl felt a chill all over her body.

The quiet and strange journey continued. Until the sun went down, Xiaoye did not encounter any wild Pokémon - this was obviously inconsistent with the "exclusivity of grass Pokémon" recorded in the atlas. However, in

She followed her in the distance, but the Pokémon surrounding her still disappeared.

Amid doubts and confusion, Xiao Ye spent an uneasy night.

Early morning on April 15th.

In the quiet forest of giant trees, there was only the sound of leaves rustling in the wind - and the sound of gentle footsteps that came to my ears from time to time.

On the morning of the second day after entering the giant forest, Xiaoye still failed to encounter any attacking opponents. However, the Pokémon surrounding her were getting closer and closer, so close that they could occasionally be seen even without using waveguide detection.

their figures.

If besieged by such a number of Pokémon, it would be difficult for even Xiaoye to escape without injury. However, Xiaoye really did not feel any hostility from them. Instead of taking drastic measures to anger them, it is better to follow the original plan.

Route forward——

Leave this weird forest as soon as possible.

Although Xiaoye thought so, as the Pokémon got closer, the direction guidance became more and more obvious. However, after traveling for a few hours, Xiaoye had begun to gradually deviate from the original route, but forcing her way out of the encirclement was definitely a bad idea—

—What's more, Xiaoye is not sure that these Pokémon must be enemies.

On the way forward, there was even a beautiful flower that jumped up to Xiaoye's feet, spinning in circles unsuspectingly.

When Xiaoye tentatively stretched out her hand to the beautiful flower, the little flower elf tilted her head and accepted Xiaoye's touch without any hesitation - this was really not something a normal wild Pokémon would do. Until

The beautiful flower's attention has shifted to Mu Shou Gong and started dancing around it. Xiao Ye still couldn't think of a reasonable answer.

——On the contrary, Mu Shou Gong looked like he was going to be dazzled.

At noon, Xiao Ye once again tried to play the only piece of music she had mastered. The expected sound of the grass flute ensemble became closer, and the melody became clearer and brighter, as if even the branches and leaves of the trees were following the rhythm.

Swing together and indulge in the sound of the flute.

After the second performance ended, the Pokémon who had been hiding behind the dense foliage even gathered around openly. Bulbasaur, Cottonwood, Acorn, Cherry Blossom, Coconut Monkey, Mount Lamb——

Grass-type Pokémon of different races all gathered together, as if they were the audience attending a concert.

Their expressions are calm and happy, without any anger in their brows.

"What's going on, Qiu, it's like we are old acquaintances. I'm so embarrassed, Qiu." Taking the delicious fruit that he had never seen before from the beautiful flower, the electric mouse scratched his head.

Putting away the bamboo flute, Xiaoye checked the map book in her hand again.

It's true. If we continue in this direction... ahead of us is the tallest tree in the entire forest of giant trees, a giant tree that is said to be nearly 200 meters high.

After thinking for a moment, Xiaoye looked at the little guy who was dancing happily and said, "Beautiful flower."

Beautiful Flower heard the sound and turned around, showing a crescent-moon-eyed smile to Xiaoye.

"Excuse me...does anyone want to see me?"

The girl asked this seemingly ridiculous question, but in fact she had been thinking about it for a long time.

The flower elf thought seriously for a moment and nodded with a smile to this human being who had just entered the forest.

After the lunch break, we continued walking for less than an hour before Xiaoye stopped.

She has expanded the range of waveguide detection to the limit. Although the accuracy has declined, the general situation within about five hundred meters ahead has been fed back to Xiaoye's mind.

So, she saw——

At the end of the waveguide detection, a huge life form appeared.

Because the distance is too far, Xiaoye cannot clearly detect its appearance. However, both the size and the intensity of its aura are far different from ordinary Pokémon - if Xiaoye's own aura is dim starlight, the one in the distance

Life is the blazing sun.

Xiaoye vaguely felt that from the moment she entered the forest of giant trees, the huge and terrifying creature began to stare at her. But the gaze that rested on her was too soft, light and not malicious, and too all-pervasive.

, even Xiaoye didn’t notice it until he was so close.

Seeing Xiaoye stop, the little beautiful flower gave a confused cry and pulled Xiaoye's trousers, as if urging her to move forward.

Or rather, it won’t help if we don’t move forward——

Many Pokémon no longer hide their figures, surrounding Xiaoye and the three companions beside her. The only way to move forward is to continue.

The girl raised her head and looked at the mottled blue sky exposed among the leaves.

Under the canopy of the giant tree, it was actually difficult to see the distant scenery. But even so, Xiaoye still captured the unique lines of the tree trunks in the sparse sky.

That towering tree is right in front of you.

After a moment of silence, Xiaoye stepped forward again.

Now that things have come to this, it's better to follow their wishes and go meet the "one" who is watching her.

The purple-haired girl moved forward step by step. Charizard and Mu Shou Gong had already put away their leisurely demeanor and followed the girl closely.

The distance got closer and closer, and the huge mountain-like outline gradually became clear in the detection range.

Then, it began to appear in the field of vision.

Walking quietly beside the trainer, Mu Shou Gong raised his head and stared intently at the huge wood creature in front of him.

It is more than ten meters tall. It has thick green limbs and white toes. On its back, green leaves stretch out, and huge flowers bloom toward the sky. The petals are smeared with bright red, like a deep sea.

The only light in the green.

Its eyes were the same color as the petals, a clear red color. Those eyes carried too much emotion and time, and had watched too many disasters and battles - but in the end, they still revealed only the softest brilliance.

The red eyes stared at the person who came, and the lavender eyes looked back at him. The eyes that spanned thousands of years met in the air, integrating each other's emotions into them.

Walking closer, Xiao Ye stopped.

She showed her usual calm and gentle smile.

"Hello." The girl bowed lightly, "Excuse me, do you want to see me?"
