Pokemon Dawn

May 30th, evening.

The gloomy sky was filled with dark clouds. Moisture dexterously penetrated into everyone's nostrils, telling people that rain was coming.

This is not a good weather for holding a festival, but the once-a-year enthusiasm of the residents of Zhenxin Town will never be extinguished by the rain. The stall owners who were prepared for it set up awnings in front of the stalls, with colorful flowers, big and small

Different awnings are connected to each other, turning the streets into a world under the colorful "sky".

The street square where the exhibition competition was held during the day has been cleaned up. The dance team specially invited from Joban City danced on the high stage. The onlookers couldn't help but sway their bodies to the beat of the music. They didn't know when it was over.

It turned into a circular procession that revolved, walked and danced around the stage.

——Even Xiaoye’s Pokémon joined in the dance, with a somewhat addictive attitude, so Xiaoye had no choice but to let them immerse themselves in the square dance and couldn’t extricate themselves.

And over the square in the center of the street, a huge light blue light mask enveloped the entire square. Sparse raindrops fell on the outside of the light mask, making a pleasant soft sound.

If there is no canopy that can cover the entire street square, we simply use super powers to create a "canopy" - this is a very real new town method. The many Pokémon in the backyard of Dr. Oak's laboratory have never been stingy.

In order to contribute their own strength, groups of super-type Pokémon take turns on duty, and it is not a problem to maintain this big cover for 24 hours.

The color of the night sky seen through the light mask became less dark, and the dark clouds became like soft marshmallows, continuously exuding syrup. The super-powerful light blue and countless warm lights complement each other, but together they are even more beautiful.

It forms an incredibly beautiful scene.

"The crimson sky is calling you~" Xiaoling sang softly along with the music that resounded throughout the square, licking the candy apple in her hand and revealing her happy crescent eyes.

"I'm now considering whether to officially move to Zhenxin Town." Xiaojie said enthusiastically, holding a cute little bunny doll that was completely inconsistent with his own style of painting - it was a prize he won from a shooting game.

The moon festival is really interesting."

"And it's delicious too!" Xiaoling added immediately.

Starting in the morning, the fun-loving brother and sister took Xiaoye and Xiaotian to the street square. The dazzling array of shops dazzled everyone, and they tried their best but couldn't put everything they wanted to eat into their stomachs.

, the rich and diverse entertainment projects made time fly by quickly, and it was almost night in the blink of an eye.

Xiaoye and Xiaotian don't like running around and playing around that much, but they won't reject such a rare festival. A fluffy kitten doll was also forced into Xiaotian's hand - also in the shooting game

Prizes won.

He didn't seem to care much about the things in his hands, and he hugged the cute doll calmly, leaving Xiaojie and Xiaoling to try hard not to laugh.

"Speaking of which, the same song is always played in the square?" Xiaoye said after hearing Xiaoling singing along.

The melody of the song is bright and warm, which really suits the atmosphere of the May Festival. However, after listening to this song for a whole day, Xiaoye now just feels that she has been a little brainwashed.

Xiaotian nodded, "This is the theme song of "Scarlet Sky". This song has been the background music for the May Festival in recent years."

Xiaoye immediately understood. "Scarlet Sky" is the famous work of Xiaotian's mother Yuka. Her performance of the heroine Fujiwara Fei was recognized by millions of viewers and she has since embarked on the road of becoming a famous actress. Probably because there was such a great actress in her hometown.

As a star, the residents of Shinxin Town would play the theme song of Scarlet Sky at the May Festival every year to show their pride.

Speaking of Scarlet Sky...where is the leading lady who was standing by just now?

Xiaoye looked back and saw that Yuka was asked to take a photo again. She didn't have any celebrity airs at all. Not only did she happily agree to all the requests, but she also forced Xinghai to enter the group photo. Fortunately, Xinghai was wise.

I brought a little sea lion mask I bought from a roadside stall, otherwise the scandal of "First Class Investigator Seikai Kamaba and the well-known actress Yuka Tachibana are closely related and suspected of being in a relationship" would spread around the world tomorrow.

And it caused Yuxiang to roar angrily: "We will get married early tomorrow!!!"

"Speaking of which, I just wanted to ask." Xiaojie, who was walking in front, turned back with a three-color dumpling in his mouth and asked vaguely, "Don't you think there are too many security guards nearby?"

Almost every second store will see security guards standing on the street with alert expressions. Although they appear inconspicuous in the crowd, once you pay attention, you will find that there are so many people in uniform that this street looks like them.

It looks like a cash transport truck is going to pass by soon.

"That's because this place was attacked five years ago."

Before Xiaotian opened his mouth, another gentle voice answered. All the boys and girls looked up at the young man wearing the little sea lion mask, and they all showed sympathetic expressions.

"Mr. Xinghai, are you finally released?"

"Yeah, I'm so thankful to God." Xinghai sighed helplessly, turned around and glanced at Yuka who was mingling with female fans, and pushed up the mask, half revealing her face.

"Congratulations." Xiaoling's ponytails were raised out of curiosity, "Mr. Xinghai, did you just say that this place was attacked?"

"That's right." Xinghai nodded and told the reason why the May Festival attaches great importance to the security force.

During the May Festival five years ago, a group of lawless people suspected of being poachers sneaked into Zhenxin Town and intended to attack Pokémon in the street square. They wore black robes and acted strangely. Some of them were not only

They also started to fight against Pokémon and innocent townspeople, causing considerable panic.

Xinghai was not in Zhenxin Town at that time, and the poachers could not be suppressed easily with the abilities of other trainers. In the end, Yuka and Dr. Ohki, who brought Xinghai's three evil dragons, worked together to subdue all the lawless elements. Since then, Zhenhai

When the May Festival was held in New Town, security work was strengthened to prevent the same thing from happening again.

The May Festival is the most cherished festival by the people of the town and they have been looking forward to it for a whole year. No one wants it to be ruined.

The music played to the end gradually became lower, and then returned to the beginning a few seconds later. A bright female voice with a hint of playfulness softly sang the first line of the song.

"The crimson sky is calling you——"

"Xinghai." Hearing Yuxiang's voice, Xinghai turned around and saw his wife's depressed expression.

"We suggest the mayor change the background music next year." Yuka said with a wrinkled face.

Although this was the theme song of a TV series she had participated in, the lead actor couldn't stand it after listening to it all day.

"Pfft." Xinghai laughed out loud and couldn't help but nodded, "Ah, I agree."

"Eh...it sounds really good."

After the brisk prelude, Xiaoling, who was already suffering from severe poisoning and was afraid there was no cure, still hummed along with the two lines.

"Who reached the finish line first?"

"In the noisy running summer"

"Xiao Ling...you must be tired of hearing this." Xiaojie showed his lifeless fish eyes.

Everyone walked forward along the alley to the sound of music, but Xiaoye's footsteps paused without anyone noticing.

A chill flowed directly from her skull to the soles of her feet.

As a waveguide user, Xiaoye's range detection ability is undoubtedly her strong point. Although she is not like Xinghai who can make people with the same ability unaware, she is used to permanently deploying a certain area of ​​detection to prepare for various emergencies.

In addition, she also has an unusual detection ability——

Perception of malicious intent.

It has almost become a physical instinct. She can keenly detect who is malicious towards her, which is something that the power of waveguide can never do.

But when she instinctively judged that there was filth and malicious intent behind her, and the waveguide detection revealed that it was just a pile of shabby clothes, Xiaoye stopped stiffly.

"I'm going to buy a candy apple."

Everyone had no doubts after hearing Xiaoye's voice. Their team had scattered several times during the festival, and Xiaoye was a waveguide messenger and would not lose the big group.

Xiaotian glanced sideways involuntarily.

The noisy voices of the golden retriever siblings attracted his attention, forcing him to join the conversation. The short purple hair quickly disappeared into the crowd.

The cheerful music covered up the few abnormalities in the festival.

He looked like a homeless man in shabby clothes. His slender body was covered tightly by a black robe, and only the black skin of his ankles could be seen under the robe. However, under the vision of the waveguide power, his body seemed to have no physical appearance at all.

It's like he doesn't exist, only the fluttering black robe shows his dazzling presence.

Xiaoye could feel that the malice of this "person" was not directed at anyone, but was unleashed on everyone around him indiscriminately. The black robe reminded Xiaoye of the attackers five years ago.

All the prisoners should have been arrested at that time. Maybe it was a coincidence?

Xiao Ye, who was thinking this way, slowly approached the man in black robe. However, before he took a few steps, the black robe suddenly started to tremble violently.

The fierce malice in the air made Xiaoye pause. The instigator seemed to have noticed something. The black robe swayed quickly and took the initiative to disappear into the sea of ​​people.

"The destination we want to reach"

"It's an ever-changing tomorrow."

"Hide your loneliness deep in your heart"

The sound of music gradually faded away.

In the heavy rain, chasing the black robe, the needle-pricking malice became more and more obvious. But Xiaoye slowed down her pace and chased leisurely, as if she was afraid of disturbing the other party.

That's right, just keep going forward and stay away from the festival venue.

When the noisy sounds faded away from her side, Xiao Ye turned back and glanced at the thousands of lights behind her.

The May Festival is the most important festival for the residents of Zhenxin Town. Not only the aborigines, but also Xiaojie and Xiaoling participate in it with so much enjoyment. Xiaoye believes that this happiness should not be destroyed.

However, when the malicious holder has left the festival and stepped into the dark forest in the back mountain——

There is nothing to worry about anymore.

Crystal blue lightning bloomed under her feet, resonating with the rumbling thunder above. In just a few seconds, Xiaoye surpassed the man in black robe, and the bright sword light blocked the way forward.

"what do you"?"

she asked calmly.

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

Small theater:

System prompt: An unidentified enemy appears. Players are asked to be vigilant and be ready to meet the enemy at any time.

Xiaoye: The power of the waveguide can't detect this guy's life breath... Why is this?

System prompt: Because the player detected the black robe worn by the enemy, the enemy may be a robed spirit.

Xiaoye:...Are you serious?
