Pokemon Dawn

The afterglow of the evening casts warm colors on the white snow. The purple-haired girl walked forward in the snow, leaving a string of thin footprints behind her.

However, her journey was not a quiet one.

Although the Pokémon in the polar ice fields are not as xenophobic as the giant forest, there are always a few militants who will attack other creatures that enter their field of vision indiscriminately.

——Speaking of which, Riolu is actually the same type?

"Hooooo——"

Charizard took a deep breath and breathed out blazing flames. The bright orange-red color looked extremely bright in the snowy field.

The natural fear of fire caused the little wild boars to dodge early. Before they could use their proud charging moves, Xiaoye's next instruction followed closely.

"Dabi Bird, Storm."

The golden bird raised its wings, and the violent air flow seeped into the flames, creating a rolling hurricane of flames that pushed forward arbitrarily.

After the flame wind died down, the nearby snow had completely melted, revealing the dark brown frozen soil layer. The small mountain pigs were so burned that they jumped up and down and fled immediately.

Behind Xiaoye, Riolu opened his dark red eyes and carefully observed every move of Xiaoye and her "group".

At this time, Riolu was only a few steps away from Saya. At first glance, it seemed as if it was also Saya's Pokémon.

Riolu has never seen such a strange group of people. The leader does not often fight, but instead gives instructions to other members very frequently - not the usual "you go deal with it" orders, but down to the details of fighting methods.

Unprecedented instructions on the moves to use, timing of attacks, etc.

And under Xiaoye's instructions, her Pokémon did launch attacks that Riolu had never seen before. It wasn't that the moves themselves were powerful, but the way they fought and cooperated with each other was very——

Clever? Skilled?

It is difficult for Riolu to explain what kind of battle he saw. But there is no doubt that this is a scene that Riolu, who was born in the other land, has never seen. It is something that it does not understand, called "human beings".

"The wisdom unique to the race.

It felt itchy and couldn't help but cast its more focused gaze on the back in front of it - it wanted to know more and experience more. It still had many questions that it wanted answered, so it was determined and unyielding.

Follow from place to place until now.

——Of course, the most important reason is to avenge the past.

Don't leave until you defeat that pesky forest lizard!

The little Pichu who was in Xiaoye's arms suddenly poked his head out, wrinkled his nose and sniffed the surrounding air.

"What's wrong, Pichu?"

"There seems to be a burning smell?"

Pichu shook his head and looked around. When his eyes swept towards the low bushes in the distance, he suddenly caught some strange colors.

Blue, floating... fire?

Ghost, ghost, ghost, fire hill?!

The little Pichu suddenly stiffened and almost fell into the snow, but Xiaoye fished it back with quick eyes and hands.

The blue flames swayed and quickly disappeared from sight. Xiaoye's waveguide power had no time to capture their traces.

Is this color...the Pokémon's move "Wisp"? Maybe it comes from a Pokémon like Snow Queen?

besides……

"Why are you so afraid?" Xiaoye couldn't help but rub Pichu's head with laughter, "Don't you stay with ghosts every day?"

——Ghoststone cast an innocent look.

"I'm not afraid of Qiu." Pichu muttered.

Old God Riolu looked sideways at Pichu and called out twice.

"When I say there is no fear, I mean there is no fear of mounds!!" The electric mouse's hair suddenly exploded, and it suddenly emerged from Xiaoye's collar, pointing forward, "What's so scary about that kind of thing... Hey, is there something there?

?”

Under the bushes covered with white snow, Pichu saw a hint of yellow that was completely different from the plants or the white snow.

The sun sets in the west and the sky gradually dims.

Xiaoye's backpack was placed casually under the bushes. Charizard held the wound medicine, bandages and other healing supplies with a serious face, waiting for Xiaoye to take them at any time.

Looking at Xiaoye's busy and hesitant movements, Riolu showed a somewhat surprised expression. He looked thoughtfully at the medicine in Xiaoye's hand, and then at the identical small bottle he was holding, and hesitated to speak.

Remaining silent.

"Master, is it okay, Qiu? It won't die, right Qiu?"

"Well, although the injury is serious, it is not fatal. Don't worry."

Xiaoye spoke to comfort the whirling Pichu, and carefully applied the cool burning medicine to the wound of the little guy lying in the snow.

It is very short in stature, with a beige cloak covering its body. The original beautiful color is covered by mottled blood. There are many traces of burns and swelling on the skin that should be cold. Even though it is still in a coma, the little Pokémon still remains.

He frowned and huddled up tightly.

[Snowboy is a Pokémon that lives on snow and ice. There is a legend that any home that Snowboy visits will be prosperous for generations to come.]

"Why did it fall here? And it was injured... Shouldn't there be a group of super-ferocious Pokémon like fossil pterosaurs here?" Pichu suddenly became nervous and widened his eyes.

Eyes upright, ears raised, looking around.

"My waveguide detection didn't find any other Pokémon nearby, so don't worry." Xiaoye said.

Because of the previous experience of being attacked by fossil pterosaurs, Xiaoye opened the waveguide detection to the maximum range early this time, and found nothing unusual.

She carefully examined the injuries on the fallen Snow Boy. Most of them were severe burns, perhaps caused by the will-o'-the-wisp that she had vaguely seen before.

It seems that the only ice Pokémon that can use will-o'-wisps is Snow Demon. Could it be that this Snow Pokémon was injured by its own kind?

No, it doesn't necessarily have to be an Ice Pokémon.

Putting her unsuccessful thoughts aside, Xiaoye took out a potion to replenish physical strength and asked Snow Boy to take it. The burns will cause the Pokémon to continue to lose physical strength. This Snow Boy's body is already very weak. If it is not treated, it may be seriously injured.

There will be life danger.

The effect of the medicine seeped into Snow Boy's body bit by bit. He moved and slowly opened his eyes.

Snow Boy's eyes were a very clear light blue, and there was a hint of confusion and subconscious fear in his eyes.

"It's safe now. Are you okay?" Xiaoye asked softly.

As the words came out of her mouth, Xiaoye remembered its vigilant reaction when she first treated Riolu, and immediately took a few steps back to avoid scaring Yukidouzi.

The next second, seeing big tears rolling out of those light blue eyes, Xiaoye's retreating steps suddenly froze.

Snow Boy, who had just woken up, was still a little dazed. The pain caused by the burns spread from all parts of his body, making it increasingly difficult for him to think clearly.

The fear and panic before falling into coma are still deeply imprinted. Fragmented images are spinning and hovering in my mind. Yellow eyes without pupils, scorching purple flames, and deafening screams and cries - and

Before being completely overwhelmed by the memories that made it tremble, it saw a pair of light purple eyes that were full of concern and not violent at all.

When the owner of those eyes stepped back, the little Yukidouzi almost subconsciously grabbed Xiaoye's trousers, and finally burst into tears uncontrollably.

Xiaoye was at a loss for a while because of the sudden crying of the injured person. After a group of people fell on their backs, Xiaoye and Pichu finally managed to calm him down.

Snow Boy sat on the snow, sobbing from time to time, his little hands still holding Xiao Ye's trousers tightly and refusing to let go.

This child... looks very young.

Xiao Ye noticed that the scarred snow boy in front of her was far less than the average height of its kind. He was obviously still a child who had not yet reached adulthood.

The girl knelt down gently and smiled at Yuki Tongzi, "What happened, can you tell me?"

Snow Boy sniffed and nodded to Xiaoye.

Perhaps because of the terrible thing he had just experienced, the young snow boy's story was a bit confusing. With the help of Pichu's translation, it took Xiaoye a long time to figure out part of the whole story with great difficulty.

Snowboys live among the tribe at the foot of the snow-capped mountains in the northern part of the polar ice field. Their lives have always been quiet and peaceful, but the recent emergency turned everything upside down.

In the early morning a few days ago, Snow Boy and his group mates saw a strange creature rushing down the mountain quickly.

The creature was covered in purple lightning, making it difficult to see its face. The bursting arcs of electricity were synchronized with its pace, leaving deep scorch marks on the snow with every step it took.

When the rolling thunder descended from the mountain, a large group of strange Pokémon with round bodies, long arms, and flaming bodies appeared. At first, Yukidouzi just thought "those are new friends" and joined the group members.

Strangely wanting to step forward to greet——

However, these Pokémon are not their companions.

Demons with fire attributes released their terrifying power at the foot of the mountain. In the face of the raging flames, the ice and snow elves seemed too fragile - the demons ruthlessly destroyed many ethnic groups living at the foot of the mountain. Purple

The flames contain magic power. When they sway and dance, the ice Pokémon who witness this scene gradually lose their minds and become puppets of the devil.

The young Yukidouji could hardly understand what was happening. When his former companions who had become enemies and the demon of fire attacked him together, he could only cry and follow his instincts to escape desperately.

Pursued by the enemies, Snow Boy ran as hard as he could for an unknown amount of time. Fortunately, he was not killed. He was scarred, and finally collapsed on the snow - if he had not received Xiaoye's treatment, he might have been on the verge of death.

Already.

"Ju, this kind of thing can actually happen, Qiu..." Pichu's eyes widened in surprise, "I didn't expect that although you are a crybaby, you are quite capable, Qiu! It's really awesome to escape from those guys, Qiu."

!”

Snow Boy blinked and tilted his head blankly.

"Maybe it's because Yukidou can have ghost-type attributes after evolving, so the physique before evolution also has something in common with ghost-type Pokémon, and it is more resistant to moves such as hypnosis." Xiaoye explained.

With its round body, long arms, and purple flames, you can guess that what Yukidouzi is talking about is probably to lure the Pokémon Crystal Lamp. It is said that Crystal Lamp can hypnotize the enemy by swinging its arms. Unexpectedly, it actually

Can reach the point of mind control. And...

Strange creatures and purple lightning—this made Xiao Ye inevitably think of the human figures she had seen in Shenling Mountain and the thunderstorm that severely damaged the giant rock monster.

Could this matter have something to do with the unidentified human being?

The subtle force coming from the trousers made Xiaoye's thoughts return to reality.

Yukidouzi's little hand holding Xiaoye's trousers trembled a little. His expression was nervous and at a loss, and he even looked a little pitiful.

For this little guy who is still too young, the experience of the past few days is too terrible. Strong enemies have attacked, the tribe has been hurt, and friends have turned against each other - its willpower has long been on the verge of reaching its limit, so it will

He regarded Xiaoye, who he had never met and had only rescued him once, as a life-saving straw, praying for a miracle like a desperate drowning person.

Xiaoye thought for a moment.

Looking at the little Yukidou, she smiled gently and said something that made Riolu stare in surprise.

"Xuetongzi, can you take me to your hometown to have a look?"

"——I think I can help you."

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

Small theater:

Riolu: (Shocked) Why does this guy always do such troublesome things...I know, she must have a system! It can display side mission icons!!

System prompt: What do you want from me?
