Pokemon Dawn

Riolu, this somewhat lonely Pokémon finally chose to follow Saye. Perhaps this was the best ending that could be achieved in the story called "The Land Beyond".

Before leaving for Star Lake, Xiaoye took the elf ball and asked Riolu "if you would like to enter the ball" - I thought Riolu would avoid this thing that looked like an evil sealing spell.

And just when Yuan Zhi was about to explain, Riolu had already turned on the Poké Ball's switch with his hand with a heroic expression.

Of course, the reality is not as terrible as Riolu imagined.

When a Pokémon enters a Poké Ball, it is actually in a very special state. It can feel that it is in a space that is not small, and the temperature and humidity of the air are its favorite - this is exactly what the Poké Ball does.

One of the important functions is that you can still clearly see the outside world through the translucent shell.

After feeling it carefully, Riolu nodded solemnly, acknowledging this strange but comfortable environment.

So, Riolu, who finally became Saya's "member of the tribe", stayed peacefully in the Poké Ball, staring at the luminous lake that gradually appeared among the dense branches and leaves.

When the sun was about to sink below the horizon, Xiao Ye arrived at Star Lake.

Before Xiao Ye got close, she saw two golden retrievers that were very dazzling in the sunset jumping around the lake. Seeing Xiao Ye from a distance, the two people immediately waved their hands in unison.

"Xiaoye, this way, this way!"

After half a month, Xiaoye breathed a sigh of relief when she saw a familiar face again.

Before arriving here, Xiaoye even imagined many bad endings that were not in line with her own thinking habits. It was because she had experienced so many dangers in the other side that she had no time to blow the whistle for help, which was even suspicious.

Whether he had fallen into an illusion or not. Fortunately, both Xiaojie and Xiaoling were standing in front of them unharmed, and Xiaotian, who had not yet arrived, had just met a few days ago, so there was probably no need to worry.

"Master, I just felt like I was back in the human world." Pichu said seriously, making Xiao Ye couldn't help but smile.

"Well, that's true."

Ever since we parted ways by the Star Lake half a month ago and entered an unfamiliar forest alone, Xiao Ye seemed to have stepped into a completely different world.

It started out in a forest of giant trees. Under the guidance of a melody that only he was supposed to know, he encountered a giant Bulbasaur flower that could speak human words under the sacred tree.

Then came Shenling Mountain, where countless fossil pterosaurs were chasing her like they had a blood feud with her. With the help of the evolved Big Bird, they were about to escape, but the purple thunder suddenly fell, causing Shenling Mountain - or

Said, the huge giant rock monster that was 100 meters tall showed its true form, whined and fell down.

Finally, there is the polar ice field. On the bank of the ice crystal lake, I met a beast-like "man" who could control thunder and lightning. In the violent thunder, Xiaoye was choked by the throat with almost no ability to fight back, and she didn't even have time to blow a whistle for help.

No. It was a blessing among misfortunes that the mysterious man did not completely complete the massacre, and then it was discovered that the invasion of the Three Valleys by the Crystal Lantern Fire Spirits was also closely related to this man.

The "scenery" along the way was so bizarre that it was difficult for Xiaoye to tell whether she was still in the original world. It was only now, when she returned to the familiar lake and reunited with familiar people, that her wandering senses settled down again.

——So, the girl smiled at her friend who waved to her and ran over quickly.

The golden retriever brothers and sisters all seemed to be in high spirits and couldn't wait to share their experiences on the journey with each other. The three of them chatted for a long time. It was not until the daylight from the west was barely visible that the last member of the four-person team arrived belatedly.

"Hey, little God~" Before Xiaotian could get closer, Xiaojie laughed happily, "You're actually late. It's really rare. Could it be that you're lost?"

The silver-haired boy glanced at Xiaojie coolly and ignored his provocation as usual. Xiaoling sighed sadly, "The paper map is really difficult to understand. It's very difficult not to get lost at all."

"Yeah, so don't be shy if you get lost, little sister Xiaotian." Xiaojie nodded and patted Xiaotian on the shoulder.

Xiaoye: "..."

Xiaoling: “…………”

This time even Pichu said: "..."

In the silence, Xiaotian looked much calmer this time and said calmly: "The big character is Explosive Flame."

Yan: "Hooooooh!"

Xiaojie: "Ah ah help!"

boom--

Facing the second freshly baked Xiaojie brand coke, Xiaoye and Xiaoling expressed their refusal to offer sympathy.

After gathering at the shore of Xingchen Lake, the four of them naturally chose to finish their meal here before heading off - it was already dark anyway, so it didn't matter if it got darker.

The deadline for the expedition is before 24:00 late at night on the 27th, so there is still room for a meal.

During the meal, the four people happily exchanged their thoughts on this adventure - after all, "ordinary" level meals cannot attract attention at all. For trainers, the first step in "exchanging thoughts" is of course

yes--

Show off your newly captured Pokémon.

"So... three, two, one!"

Xiaoling's countdown fell, and the banging sound of the Poké Ball opening sounded at the empty lakeside at the same time.

After the eight white lights flashed, the four of them showed a somewhat surprised expression.

"Hey, it seems we still have a good understanding." Xiaojie sighed.

During this special adventure, the number of Pokémon captured by the four of them was somehow the same, two. Saya's Yukidouzi and Riolu - although the latter almost didn't become Saya's partner -

After emerging from the elf ball, they all stood quietly beside Xiaoye, looking at the humans in front of them.

On the other side, Xiaotian's new team members are Cao Miaogui and Kung Fu Weasel, Xiaojie has conquered Thunder Beast and Fearless Boy, and Xiaoling's chosen partners are Zoroa and Momogu.

As always, the style has no specialization attributes, but it is very consistent with their respective development directions. It can be seen that everyone is selectively collecting Pokémon that are most suitable for their own teams.

——Although one of them did not think carefully at all, he just happened to catch a Pokémon whose painting style seemed to be suitable.

After hooking up with each other's new partners, not surprisingly, they were very wary of real wild Pokémon. After a few claws were glued together, the Pokémon display session ended. After all, Xiaojie couldn't restrain his curiosity.

He poked Xiaotian, who looked indifferent.

"So Xiaotian, why did you come back so late? You don't look like a guy who has no sense of time."

"I accidentally discovered something on the way back, which delayed my time." Xiaotian explained simply.

"What did you find?" Xiaoling asked curiously.

Xiaotian opened his backpack and took out something.

The eyes of the other three people were immediately attracted to the object in Xiaotian's hand. Xiaoye hesitantly took out the Heart of Leaf given by Celebi from her pocket and compared the appearance of the two, "This... and our Heart of Leaf

It seems somewhat similar?"

"No, there is some resemblance. They are exactly the same except for the color." Xiaoling corrected her immediately.

The crystal clear stone in the young man's palm is no bigger than a table tennis ball. The arc on its edge is very complete, like a bright full moon, with countless pure white light spots swimming in it.

"If I remember correctly... Grandpa told me that among the seven attributes of soul gems, the white stone is called "Heart of the Moon"." Xiaojie turned his questioning eyes to Xiaotian, and immediately got the silver-haired boy's attention.

Nod in response.

Everyone came closer, wanting to take a closer look at this stone that was too similar to Ye Zhixin. But just as the boys and girls gathered together, the white round stone suddenly shone with light.

"Hey, what's going on?" The four of them looked at each other.

When the light shines from inside the stone, it looks more like the moon in the sky. Compared with the moon that exudes a stable light above its head, its light appears to be flickering, with a somewhat anxious atmosphere.

When the pure white light came into view, Xiaoye was suddenly stunned.

She stretched out her hand toward the glowing boulder.

The moment the fingertips touched the surface of the stone, the white light suddenly became dazzling, forcing everyone to close their eyes. When the four surprised eyes turned to it again, all the light was restrained with satisfaction, and the circle

The stone has returned to its original deposition.

"What...is going on?" Xiaoling looked confused, "Our Ye Zhixin shouldn't have suddenly lit up like this, right?"

"Absolutely not." Xiaojie immediately replied decisively.

Xiaotian looked at the Heart of the Moon in his hand, and after pondering for a long time, he stretched out his hand to Xiaoye.

"...?"

"Take this, take it."

"No, no, no, how can that work?" Xiaoye immediately waved her hands, "You found this, of course it should belong to you."

"It just had feelings for you, didn't it?" Xiaotian said calmly, "And it's not worth much."

...No, how much is it worth?

Hearing that Xiaotian actually modified the rare soul gem in the world in this way, the other three people suddenly felt in a trance.

——Xiaotian’s statement is correct. Although the soul gem is rare, very few people know the existence of such a thing. Except for the special Leaf Heart, other soul gems are very difficult to use. Even if you can get it,

Most of them can only be used as accessories. Therefore...

Maybe it really can't be sold at a high price.

"...Pfft." Xiaoye was really shocked by Xiaotian's down-to-earth speech, and finally couldn't help laughing and took the white round stone.

"Okay, then I'll accept it."

The stone symbolizing the moon was gently picked up by the girl. As time passed and the stars moved, the moving white light spots were still shining, penetrating the color of the bright moon and spreading it on the girl's fingertips.

——Then, a connection spanning thousands of years was established with the "heart" of the human being who holds it.

The heart of the moon means "save".
