Pokemon Dawn

The Union National Library is open 24 hours a day and is rarely closed. Even though the night was getting darker, the administrator did not disturb the people in the library, so Xiaoye was able to read all the contents of the text message word by word.

Copied it sentence by sentence.

In this text message of only a few hundred words, Xiaoye saw too much unfamiliar information. The Western Ice God is also a famous noble in modern times, but the God of Thunder and the God of Fire, whose surnames are slightly similar to them, are not common people.

As far as we know, the Messenger of the Lake must be the name of the Three Holy Mushrooms, but Xiaoye has never heard that they have ever left the Sinnoh region, or even reached the remote Red Lotus Island. The surname of the man who is suspected of guiding them is "Casel".

It sounded familiar, but Xiaoye couldn't remember where she heard it.

And these contents are far less interesting than "a dark monster with two wings on its back".

Xiao Ye has seen them twice. Once at the bottom of a line of canyons on the outskirts of the light red city, and the other time during the solar eclipse on Honglian Island - the latter scene was too similar to the newspaper records from five hundred years ago.

The sun turned pitch black, and monsters emerged from it, but Xiaoye never thought that these unknown creatures might jump out of the sun and kill people on the ground.

She instinctively felt that she had indeed touched something that had been covered up for a long time. The existence of those monsters was probably the real reason why the Alliance destroyed the history related to the Eclipse Rebellion.

The text message mentioned that "the monster has the same form as the legendary abyss demon that appeared during the Glorious Era." The word abyss demon is too unfamiliar to all modern people. Xiaoye can only think of weird online games, but

The tone of the text writer was as if everyone understood what the Abyss Demon was, without spending a single word explaining it.

Xiao Ye knew that the "Glory Era" usually refers to around the first year of the Elf Calendar, which is about a thousand years ago. The origin of this statement is unknown. There are many different explanations circulating in the historical circles. The only one that can be determined is the "Elven Calendar"

The origin of "When war destroyed human society to the point of collapse, the flying mythical beasts brought life to the scarred earth. In order to commemorate this miraculous scene, humans who witnessed the miracle changed the Western Yuan calendar to the Elven calendar.

, and it is still used today.

This is something that is discussed in every elementary school history textbook, and it does not include any words related to "Demons of the Abyss". Moreover, there have never been any gods or demons in this world.

"Sooner or later, the Eclipse Rebellion will happen again, and there is not much time left..." Xiaoye softly repeated what the boy from the Guanghui Society once said.

If this sentence is not nonsense, then the meaning it contains is too terrible.

With all kinds of heavy thoughts, Xiaoye returned to the Pokémon Center. Although the truth about the Eclipse Rebellion was extremely disturbing, the Quartz League was about to start, so Xiaoye couldn't always waste time on this matter.

She secretly wrote down all the doubts and decided to continue exploring them in the future.

June 17th.

This is the last day for Xiaoye and her group to live in this Pokémon Center. The contestant village will be opened tomorrow, and contestants need to check in as soon as possible before the start of the competition - if they go too late, the dormitories in the Pokémon Center will be robbed.

Otherwise, you can only spend high prices to stay in nearby hotels.

Xiaoye's investigation into the Eclipse Rebellion has come to an end, and there is no need to go to the Alliance National Library anymore. Little Pichu actually became depressed after hearing this, and must have been unable to let go of the running wheel in the Pokémon entertainment area of ​​the library.

This made its conscientious owner start to consider whether to buy a hamster cage for Pichu - oh, should it be called an electric mouse cage in this world?

Of course, we can discuss shopping for a cage later.

Xiaoye is not a person who is good at enriching her life. The way she spends her free time is very simple, and training is almost the only option. It just so happens that there are not many people in the training ground today, and Xiaoye’s roommates are also very large.

Having already left the house, only Tongye remained at the Pokémon Center, where she and Xiaoye conducted special pre-match training.

——They say they are together, but in fact they are just using adjacent venues to train separately. Xiaoye does not want to cause friction in front of Kiriha-senpai's tropical dragon.

"The Pledge of Fire."

Countless pillars of fire rose up along with the trajectory of the fire-breathing dragon, rumbling and igniting a corner of the training ground. The trapped Gyarados immediately waved its water tail, with a somewhat stormy momentum.

The rising pillars of fire were extinguished one by one, but facing his old opponent, Charizard had no intention of retreating. The last pillar of fire unrelentingly produced double the light. Charizard took a deep breath and fiercely pushed the large font into the air.

The flames flew in.

I'm afraid I'm addicted to explosives.

Charizard has never been good at combo skills, and the result of the "fusion" of Big Character Explosive Flame and Fire Oath is not much better than the overheating of the Red Lotus Gym battle. The collision of flames triggered a big explosion, and the wave of fire suddenly overflowed to the surroundings.

, Xiaoye just wanted to take two steps back to avoid the heat wave, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw what seemed to be a white shadow on the edge of the field.

The fluttering sleeves were blown up by the hot wind, but he was still walking slowly into the venue, and was about to be swallowed up by the flames. Sensing that the situation was not good, Xiaoye had no time to rescue, and was about to instruct Gyarados to extinguish it.

When the flames came out, the scene in front of her made her pause.

The visitor was wearing a kimono that was so white that it was almost dazzling. The spotless pattern of the feathers was lifted up and dancing in the blazing wind. The swarming flames seemed to have seen their nemesis, and they "trembled" and consciously avoided them.

, in the sky full of flames, only a silent vacuum zone formed around the boy in white.

He walked through the sea of ​​fire step by step, and the rhythmic sound of grass shoes on the ground gradually approached, and then he stopped in front of Xiao Ye.

"Xingyuye, right?" he asked straight to the point.

Xiao Ye was stunned, "Yes, who are you?"

The young man did not answer immediately, but looked at Xiao Ye with an undisguised, somewhat scrutinizing look.

Xiaoye was very sure that she had never met the person in front of her during her nearly half-year journey, otherwise she would never have had any impression of him.

The young man has short pale blue hair, and the belt tied between his white clothes is the same color as his hair. His kimono is meticulously dressed, which seems to be a tight fit, but there is a wooden sword hanging on his waist, which gives him a sense of sharpness.

.And the young man's eyes are so bright that they are almost dazzling gold. At a glance, it seems that you can see the dancing flames in them. It makes people suddenly think that the flames just now have not been extinguished, but have all taken up residence in the person opposite.

In both eyes.

Just standing there without saying a word, he looked dazzling and full of presence - if his height were not half a head shorter than Xiaoye, he might look a little more majestic.

"Bai Lan." The boy in formal kimono simply introduced himself, but Xiaoye couldn't understand his next words, "I will be the tester this time. As usual, we can start the battle."

"...Huh? What did you say?" Xiaoye doubted for a moment whether what she heard was Alliance language.

The young man named Bai Lan frowned, "I'm referring to the regular testing mentioned in the letter."

Xiaoye: “…??”

Bai Lan: "..."

The two of them were relatively speechless. Because the atmosphere was so weird, even Tongye looked over worriedly. In the end, Xiaoye hesitantly broke the awkward silence and said, "I'm sorry, I don't understand you very well.

It means...did you admit the wrong person?"

Could it be that there was someone with the same name as her in the Pokémon Center...? At least Xiaoye didn't understand what the other person meant by "tester" and "the scheduled test mentioned in the letter", she was so confused.

It’s comparable to listening to a Spanish lecture.

Bai Lan frowned even more as if she realized there was a major flaw somewhere.

Xiao Ye always felt that the boy opposite her, who was much shorter than her, had the aura of a black-faced elementary school principal who discovered that his students were undisciplined. She almost started to reflect on herself whether she had said something wrong. But the boy had already taken a step back.

, bowed slightly to her, "Sorry, I was rude just now."

He raised his head and began to introduce himself for the second time with a calm demeanor, "Hello, I am Bai Lan, a traveling freelance trainer. I came here to participate in the Quartz Alliance. Please give me your advice." As he said this, he asked

Xiao Ye stretched out her hand - the content of her words this time was more like the usual dialogue when meeting for the first time.

"Please give me some advice, I am Xiaoye. Although you seem to already know...?"

Bai Lan saw Xiao Ye's inquiring expression, but he didn't explain anything more. He just shook hands with Xiao Ye in silence. The body temperature that was no different from that of ordinary people came from the palm of the person opposite him, which made him feel something in his heart.

The thought was stirred for a moment, and tranquility immediately returned.

He asked bluntly, "Can you have a one-on-one battle with me?"

"certainly."

Xiao Ye nodded and saw that the other party immediately turned around and walked to the other end of the venue after getting the answer. He looked like he had no desire to talk, so he had to suppress his doubts in his heart for the time being.

The image of the letter from Zhenxin Town, filled with unknown words, flashed through Xiaoye's mind, and she quickly put it aside.

Sure enough...you got the wrong person, right?

Kiriha, who had been paying attention to this side, saw that Xiaoye and the boy in the white kimono wanted to fight, and immediately said that he could act as a temporary referee. After the three of them took their respective positions, the battle began.

Xiaoye's Charizard looked at his master longingly, and after receiving a nod of permission, he immediately jumped onto the field happily. He had had enough of fighting with old faces.

The boy in white took out a high-end ball and threw it backhand lightly.

What appeared in the light was a straight figure. Its ruby-like eyes were sharp and lively. The blade at the elbow popped out with a cold light. The blue and white color made both Xiaoye and Tongye look a little surprised.

expression.

After seeing the appearance of this strange-colored Eluredo, Tongye almost subconsciously turned around and glanced around. Fortunately, there were no people on the training ground, and their location was relatively remote, so no one noticed this eye-catching one for the time being.

Pokémon.

Larurus is already a very rare Pokémon in the remote Hoenn region. Kiriha can imagine how greedy a strange-colored Elledor will be in the people around her.

Bai Lan seemed to understand the reason why the temporary referee suddenly looked around, and did not say anything to urge him. He just looked at his original partner calmly and calmly.

After the signal for the start of the battle was given, the boy gave the order in a voice that had not yet changed but already contained full awe.

"Spiritual Blade."

Before Charizard could react, the opponent he had never seen before had disappeared without warning. The next second, the blade filled with spiritual power slashed hard at Charizard's back, and an overwhelming force came.

The red figure fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of smoke.

Eluredo's sharp blade left a bloody scar on Charizard's back.

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

Small theater:

They say they are together, but in fact they are just using adjacent venues to train separately. Xiaoye does not want to cause friction in front of Kiriha-senpai's tropical dragon.

Tropical Dragon: (looks sideways at Xiaoye) Isn’t this one of the little guys from last time? I really want to rub her again. (I was so excited that the fruit on my neck fell off again)
