Pokemon Dawn

At noon on April 19, Xiao Ye arrived at the foot of Shenling Mountain.

Shinrei Mountain [Japanese: Shinrei_yama, English: mt.peak] is located in the middle of the Land of Beyond. It is a rocky mountain with sparse vegetation. Together with the surrounding continuous mountains, it forms a vast mountain range in the center of the Land of Beyond. .

The Pokémon living in Shenling Mountain are mainly rock-type, and it is said that there are also many ancient Pokémon that have become extinct in the outside world. They do not form a large group of their own like the giant forest, and their living habits are relatively laid-back and exclusive. They are not very strong either. However, the individual strength far exceeds that of grass-type Pokémon in the forest, so these wild Pokémon are still dangerous beings that need to be guarded against, and they are also the best opponents for training.

Looking up at the foot of the mountain, you can see thin blade-like rocks standing all over the mountain, pointing the sharpest tip towards the sky.

This is a unique geological phenomenon in Shenling Mountain, called "Knife Rock". The formation principle is still under investigation, and there is no clear conclusion. The only thing that can be determined is that these blade-like rocks are as sharp as real knives. They are absolutely Do not touch at will.

If you accidentally fall on it, I'm afraid it will immediately turn into fresh human slices.

This mountain with an overall shape like a cone is not too short, and it is not easy to climb to the top. Considering the time limit, Xiaoye planned to go up the mountain from the west side, climb to the mountainside, and then go straight down the mountain to leave.

With this idea in mind, after starting to climb the mountain, Xiaoye noticed——

Something is wrong with the situation.

The ancient armor wielded its deadly pincers, and the brilliance tore the air. Xiaoye had no time to think about "this is a rare Pokémon that has become extinct in the outside world." After the crystal blue sword light knocked back the ancient armor, the order followed. the export.

"Air chop."

The golden bird flapped its wings, and countless wind blades poured out, enveloping several stone-dwelling crabs surrounded by them and falling in all directions.

Ghost Stone's combos have quickly followed up, and the dark shadow fist has delivered the final blow to the stone-dwelling crabs. As for the more powerful ancient armor, it has already accepted the dozens of consecutive slashes sent by Xiaoye, and it comes with Pichu An electric shock struck him, and he staggered and fell down.

Sensing that another wild Pokémon was approaching, Xiaoye immediately instructed the Pokémon to evacuate first to avoid a wheel battle - of course, Ghoststone needed to spend dozens of seconds to retrieve her hand first.

While taking a break behind the shady rocks, Saya looked at the atlas again.

"The rock-type Pokémon on Shenling Mountain are not very aggressive, and most of them will not take the initiative to attack" - this is indeed the original text written on the atlas. However, the facts that Xiao Ye saw were different from the records in the atlas. Completely different.

It had only been an hour since she entered Shenling Mountain, and Xiaoye had already been attacked by wild Pokémon many times. Almost all the attackers had obvious malice and even bared their teeth, attacking outsiders almost madly.

It was like a wasp that had just stung its nest.

"Why were those guys shouting 'get out' so fiercely just now? We're not their enemies, it's really baffling." Pichu, who was accidentally hit on the tail by a stone, shook his head in dissatisfaction and said.

"Pichu, do you think they react as if a war has just ended?" Xiaoye said as if casually, still looking at the map in her hand.

"...Huh? Why Qiu?"

"It's just a guess."

Xiaoye smiled and rubbed the head of the confused little Pichu.

All wild Pokémon have intense emotions and obvious attack tendencies. There is almost no buffering time required to enter the battle state. Coupled with the original force scars on the ancient armor - these sights make Xiaoye feel more and more, they are almost like

Just like the soldiers who have just retreated from the battlefield.

besides--

Leaning out from the shade, Xiaoye heard the thunder in the distance again.

No, maybe it wasn't thunder.

The rumbling sound came from far away, intermittent, more like an explosion after the collision of moves.

Wherever he looked, the blue sky was calm and cloudless, and there was no smoke and dust in the distance where the sound came from. After staring for a moment, Xiaoye looked away.

No matter what happened in the distance, Xiao Ye didn't have any extra time to explore now. Let's continue on the original route.

Setting foot on the steep mountain road again, the overly fierce attacks continued. Xiao Ye did not deliberately avoid it - or in other words, she was looking for such an intensive and dangerous battle. The meaning of coming to the other side to experience is

this.

It is an anomaly to be as peaceful as a forest of giant trees.

After the sun went down, it took Xiaoye a long time to find a relatively safe cave to rest. The six Pokémon were all very tired and went to bed early to rest after eating. Xiaoye did not continue the ability training in the previous nights.

.

——The practice of waveguide power is too conspicuous at night, and it will be troublesome if it attracts a large number of wild Pokémon.

April 20th, early morning.

Even yesterday, when the battle was fierce, Xiaoye could still feel the Riolu following her footsteps not far or near—mostly tracking its position through the induction between the waveguide messengers.

After Xiaoye and her Pokémon finished breakfast, Riolu, who had been wandering nearby, finally walked out openly and challenged the forest lizard again.

——And, it’s still the same ending.

Xiaoye could see that Riolu's action pattern had obviously changed. He no longer used too many open and close moves, but tried to speed up and keep up with the movements of the forest lizard.

It is indeed a Pokémon with excellent understanding. However, a short two days of training is not enough for it to catch up with the forest lizard - not to mention, under Xiaoye's careful guidance, the forest lizard is progressing much faster

Much more.

Letting Pokémon grow quickly is one of the values ​​of a trainer.

The pair of green leaf blades were danced by the forest lizard, tearing the air apart and carving scars on Riolu's body. The severe pain made it difficult for Riolu to stand again, but it had not yet lost consciousness, and opened its dark red eyes fiercely.

Staring at his opponent.

The forest lizard quietly retracted the leaf blade, while Xiaoye was observing Riolu's movements.

Although he was obviously scarred, he still desperately tried to get up; sweat slipped into his eyes, but he did not dare to close his eyes, and never looked away from the enemy; due to excessive force, the pair of sharp claws were trembling and deeply embedded in the soil.

middle.

If you are so unwilling to be defeated, or even afraid of defeat, why do you still follow up unyieldingly?

Although she couldn't empathize with him, Xiaoye could vaguely feel that Riolu's persistence as a fighting Pokémon even surpassed the fear of death.

What a great guy.

In Riolu's dizzying vision, the purple-haired girl smiled at him and seemed to drop something on the ground.

Then, she turned around with the powerful forest lizard and gradually disappeared into the stone forest.

Riolu lay quietly on the ground for a while.

Not willing to fail, it launched challenges again and again. But it was defeated by the forest lizard again. While it was glad that it survived, the doubts in its heart became more and more intense.

Why let it go? Isn't it a matter of course to take the life of the loser?

After turning over with difficulty, Riolu recalled his past experiences.

Riolu is a loner with an unruly temperament, but more Pokémon have their own tribes. His innate passion for fighting has made Riolu grow rapidly, and he has challenged many small tribes so far.

's leader.

In its view, Xiaoye is the leader of the small group of forest lizards - although it is unheard of to use a small ball to imprison group members. Challenging group members - challenging the group leader - conquering the entire group, this process Riolu

It has experienced it before. The leader who is trampled under its feet will naturally become its food, but if its challenge fails——

The defeated will definitely be killed by the leader of the group to establish authority.

For Riolu, the law of the jungle is the only truth for survival. Therefore, it is completely unable to understand the behavior of Xiaoye and its "group members". Riolu, who has followed all the way, has already discovered that not only himself, but also Xiaoye and his group are harmful to other people.

All the Pokémon that took the initiative to attack never landed a fatal blow.

Why?

After regaining some strength, Riolu climbed up with difficulty and sniffed the fruit left by Xiao Ye.

Of course, Riolu knew very well that this blue tree fruit had the effect of restoring physical strength. However, this was something left by its enemy.

Its enemies gave it a fruit that restored its strength?

Why exactly?

After pondering for a few minutes, Riolu was careful not to touch the fruit, and staggered away with doubts in his mind.

It will continue to track its enemies until it washes away the shame of defeat. This is its stubbornness and honor as a Fighting Pokémon.

As for all the questions that puzzle it, it will have answers one day.

It's still a long time -

At this moment, Riolu was indeed thinking so.

noon.

There is no mountain road on Shenling Mountain, and you can only use your hands and feet to climb up. Therefore, the only three Pokémon left outside are Charizard, Pidgeot, and Ghost.

——Oh yes, there are also little Pichus that have been turned into decorations.

The battle along the way was still fierce, and there was even little room for breathing. Fortunately, Xiaoye was agile enough and could easily get rid of the pursuers, allowing the Pokémon to rest in the ball.

Stopping for a moment in the shadow of the rocks, Xiaoye looked at the sky.

The sky was very clear at noon, and the scorching sun above our heads continued to release heat, burning the surface of the gray-white rocks to a boil.

The mysterious thunder in the distance is still looming, making people unconsciously feel tense and depressed. The size of the sound is uncertain, and the direction is also changing. As the daylight moves up, it becomes clearer. It seems like——

"What" is making the sound is approaching here.

"Ah, it's lunch time already, Qiu!" the electric mouse on the shoulder shouted impatiently, "Master, let's eat, let's eat, Qiu!"

"Well, that's right..."

Hearing Xiaoye's words stop suddenly, Pichu turned around blankly and saw Xiaoye making a silent gesture to him.

The power of the invisible waveguide spread in all directions like ocean waves, but only caught a tiny trace of waves, and then there was nothing unusual.

Little Pichu covered his mouth nervously—why should he cover his mouth when he was obviously using telepathy all the time—and whispered quietly, "What's wrong, Master?"

Xiaoye's eyes were fixed on the distant horizon of the large uninhabited island called the Land of the Other Side for a long time, and the words she spat out made the hair all over the little Pichu's body stand up.

"I see humans."
