Pokemon Dawn

"Okay, now they are back to health!" Dr. Omu handed the two elf balls to Xiaoye and Xiaotian.

The medical methods in this world are very advanced, and the medical methods for Pokémon are even more so. In just ten minutes, the physical strength of the two Charmanders has been restored to its best condition.

"Sorry, it took so long." Xiaoye smiled apologetically at Xiaotian. Originally, she could set off after receiving the Pokémon illustrated book at eight o'clock, but now it has been delayed until nearly nine o'clock.

Xiaotian shook his head to express that he didn't mind. He glanced at the clock on the wall and showed no intention of leaving in a hurry.

Xiaoyun carelessly hugged their shoulders and said, "You two are very capable! This is my first time to see Pokémon battle with my own eyes. It's so exciting!" The green-haired girl's eyes were bright and she could tell at a glance.

Like the future Xiaozhi, he is also a militant. "It's a pity that Xiaozhi didn't see this battle!"

"Speaking of which," Xiao Mao looked at his watch half-moonedly, "It's already nine o'clock. Isn't it too late for Xiao Zhi to be late?"

Being more than an hour late on the first day of departure, Xiao Mao, a childhood sweetheart, lost his temper in response to such a terrible and rough attitude.

So, after everyone discussed it, they decided not to wait any longer. Xiaoyun, who was already eager to try, wanted to take the first step, while Xiaomao stayed and waited for Xiaozhi - although most likely because he wanted to laugh at this off-line guy. Xiaoye

He and Xiaotian planned to leave with Xiaoyun, but Dr. Omu asked him to wait, probably because he had something to say to the two of them.

"Then, I'll take the first step!" Xiaoyun turned around and waved, and the warm color of the morning sun shone on the girl's smiling face, "See you at the Quartz Arena!"

"Okay, I'll wait. See you on the field." Xiao Mao's tone was as high-spirited as ever, as if he was sure that he would get the right to play in the competition. However, this young man who is more talented than ordinary people does have enough capital to support his self-confidence.

After watching Xiaoyun go away, Dr. Omu called Xiaoye and Xiaotian into the back room.

"Please, I have something to ask you for help!" Dr. Omu clasped his hands together.

Xiaoye and Xiaotian looked at each other, "Please speak."

So, Dr. Oak, who looked a little pitiful, scratched his head in distress and took out a Poké Ball. According to the doctor, a new trainer was supposed to receive Pokémon from the research institute today, and it had been agreed in advance that he would be there in the real world.

We met somewhere in the forest north of the new town—it was said to be a special request made by the trainer’s elder—theoretically, the Pokédex was distributed, and after seeing off the new group of teenagers, there was more than enough time to head to the forest. But the day

Not as good as others, Dr. Oak didn't expect that Xiaozhi would be so late on the first day of the trip, which made him unable to get out.

The agreed meeting time was nine-thirty, and it was just in time to leave now, but Dr. Omu could not leave for the time being, so he had to ask Xiaoye and Xiaotian to help deliver the elf ball to the new trainer.

...but why does it have to be in the forest to receive Pokémon? Xiaoye felt that she couldn't understand the thinking mode of this trainer she had never met before.

Putting aside her inner complaints, Xiaoye picked up the red and white ball and said, "I understand, just leave it to us."

If the two of them are traveling together, they can have someone to look after them on the road. With the strength of Xiaoye and Xiaotian's two Charmanders, it will not be a problem to deal with wild Pokémon on the road. It's just a Poké Ball delivered along the way. Xiaoye and Xiaotian happily

Accepted this task.

After waving goodbye to the brown-haired boy and the old man in the white coat, Xiaoye and Xiaotian stood at the entrance of the research institute and looked at each other.

"Let's go." The purple-haired girl raised a smile.

"Yes." The silver-haired boy's blue eyes were calm and clear.

The two opened the door and took the first step of the journey together, facing the golden sunshine.

The location agreed upon by Dr. Ohki and the new trainer was north of Zhenxin Town, next to an ancient boulder in the forest. This huge object, which was said to be an extraterrestrial meteorite, was completely black and nearly ten meters high; it was built a long time ago

It has been standing here quietly, and because of its hard texture, it has not been completely weathered by the passage of time.

And this rock, which is comparable to a small hill, has a name that has been passed down from ancient times.

Stone of Pledge [Japanese: pledge いの石, chikai_no_ishi, English: pledge_stone].

The origin of this name is now difficult to verify. According to fragmentary written records in ancient books, there seems to be a saying that in ancient times thousands of years ago, several famous strong men met here when they were young and made a pact.

He made a vow to his best friend, hence the name of the boulder.

Of course, this statement is just a rural history and has not been proven to be correct. Now the role of this black boulder is just a marker in the vast forest, guiding travelers to find the right direction.

Following the guidance of the electronic map in the illustrated book, Xiaoye and Xiaotian walked into a vast green. For both of them, this was not the first time they had stepped into this forest, so there was nothing novel or nervous about it.

Walking side by side, neither of them said a word, but the atmosphere did not seem awkward - it was a calm and natural silence.

The feet stepped on the cracked branches and dead leaves, making a rustling sound. The sun had just risen, and some leaves were still covered with crystal clear dew, reflecting the brilliance of stars under the sunlight.

The forest in the early morning is as beautiful as ever. The blue sky, green trees, and the aromatic smell of earth make people walking in it feel relaxed and happy.

But it seems like we didn’t see many wild Pokémon today?

Xiaoye looked around with some confusion. According to common sense, the Pokémon in the forest should have woken up and started to move around at this time, but I don't know why they were nowhere to be seen today.

Xiaotian obviously noticed this problem, and looked around with a frown, but did not slow down. After all, delivering the elf ball on time is the first priority, and he will not explore these abnormal little things until the elf ball is delivered to the trainer.

It’s not too late for details.

They moved forward in silence, but both of them were a little cautious. Facts proved that this caution was correct - Xiaoye paused in her steps, threw the red and white ball quickly, pointed her left hand diagonally upward, "Spark!"

The tacit understanding between Charmander and Xiao Ye no longer requires too many words. Jumping out of the elf ball, the orange dragon sprayed out a bunch of tiny but scorching sparks in the direction of Xiao Ye's finger without hesitation.

Halfway through the flight of the orange flames, a large needle bee suddenly rushed out of the bushes and rushed towards Xiao Ye and Xiao Tian. However, the attack was unlucky. As soon as it flew out, it was burned by the scorching sparks, and it screamed as it retreated.

He received another blow from the flaming iron tail in the back, and fled in embarrassment.

Charmander landed lightly and happily gave a high-five to Yan, who was cooperative next to him.

In the past six months, Xiaotian has already discovered that Xiaoye seems to have a different perception than ordinary people, so he is not surprised by Xiaoye's behavior of reading first, and has no curiosity to explore the reason. His ice blue eyes scanned the surroundings.

Circle, "Be careful."

Xiaoye nodded clearly. It was not normal for wild Pokémon to directly attack humans like this. Moreover, this was not the nest of the Giant Needle Bee, and there were no issues such as territorial disputes.

I kept my vigilance high and continued to move forward. The rest of the journey was surprisingly smooth. Although I still didn't see many wild Pokémon, at least I wasn't suddenly attacked again.

Gradually, the unique black spire of the Oath Stone appeared in view. Through the dense jungle, two figures standing next to the huge stone were vaguely visible.

The people next to the rock also saw Xiaoye and Xiaotian, and immediately ran a few steps here, waving from a distance, "You are the ones who help deliver the elf balls, right? This way, this way!"

The boy's blond hair shone in the sun, and the mottled tree shadows shone lightly on his collar and neck. Beside him, the girl with twin tails was smiling, and her sky-blue eyes reflected the warm color of the sun.
