Pokemon Dawn

Gyarados are a warlike race by nature. As hunters in the ocean, they have vicious tempers and are fearless. They often fight among themselves, let alone encounter other races.

Of course, Gyarados, who are naturally good at fighting, cannot win every battle. When defeated by a strong enemy, they will only accumulate strength with strong anger and seek to counterattack - even if the opponent is a powerful Slash Commander leader.

Nothing can scare Gyarados on the battlefield—

However, there are countless things that can scare a Magikarp on the battlefield.

Unlike Charizard, which was just born from an egg a year ago and is still immature in mind, Gyarados is a mature Pokémon that has experienced a long time.

A long, long time ago, when Gyarados was an inconspicuous king of fishes, it once lived in the vast sea. But that time was too long, so long ago that even if it had tried its best to trace the past along its memory

, the picture that comes to mind is still blurry.

It has forgotten when and where it was born. It only knows that the sea in its memory is a deep blue world. It wanders in the endless deep blue day after day, following the fish swimming and eating with its head empty.

, living mechanically.

Until one day, it bit into a piece of food that was tied to a thin thread and exuded an attractive aroma.

The fishhook pulled it out of the sea and soared high into the sky. The extremely dazzling sunlight pierced its eyes - from that day on, the color of its world changed.

It remembered that it was put into a translucent ball and taken away from the sea and onto land. The scenery outside was spinning as the ball swayed, and it cowered in fear in the corner of the ball shell and shivered.

Then, the red and white ball was opened. It carefully opened its eyes and saw clearly the person in front of it.

It was a young boy who conquered it.

Today's Gyarados can no longer recall his face. He only remembers that the boy's voice was always trembling slightly, as if he was about to cry at any time. Even when facing the weakest Pokémon in the world, the boy still looked...

It is very timid and has to muster up the courage again and again to even touch its scales.

The ignorant Carp King didn't know how to recognize people and objects. He just instinctively read a hint of friendship from the delicious food that the boy handed over from time to time and his cautious behavior. So, he innocently opened his heart and began to interact with the boy little by little.

The boy gets closer.

The world on land is new and dangerous. It is always thrown out of the ball without warning, falling in front of eager enemies, and has to fight desperately with vicious Pokémon that are far more powerful than it. The weak King Magikarp is not

It has evolved courage but does not have the powerful strength to defeat the enemy. It is afraid of pain and fights, but the voice behind it supports it and does not flinch.

Whenever it is forced to face a strong enemy, the boy's voice always sounds behind it. Although the voice is not firm and always has a hesitant trill, as long as someone is still giving instructions, it knows that it should

Where to go - Know that you are not alone.

Among the countless hazy memories separated by veils, only that mood still seemed clear and powerful - the Carp King in the past had indeed thought from the bottom of his heart, and if it was for him, it would be willing to face a terrible battle.

The immature Carp King and the immature boy walked together, through the grassland, through the forest, and through the city. The journey may be long or short, and countless vivid pictures and emotions are captured in it.

Devoured by fire at the end of the journey.

That day, King Magikarp encountered the strongest enemy he had ever seen.

The unfamiliar Pokémon was wearing a dark red steel helmet, and its eyes were as sharp as the sharp blade on its head. Even the human figure next to the Pokémon was extremely tall, and the boy seemed as small as a child in front of him.

That steel-knife-like Pokémon made Magikarp instinctively feel fear. It didn't want to fight such a terrifying opponent, but when the boy's soft voice sounded, it could only try to suppress the trembling of its body and bump into the opponent.

go.

It couldn't remember how many times it attacked. The hard armor was as heavy as a mountain rock, and it couldn't move it even with all its strength. Instead, it made its body that was bearing the shock force unbearably painful. It was about to run out of strength.

At that moment, the rock-like armor raised his arms and turned into a cold sword.

The sword fell and blood splattered.

The weak Carp King felt unprecedented pain. Its scales were cracked and long blood marks appeared on its body. The river surface was stained red the moment it fell into the water.

The threat of death made King Carp almost flee along the river. It knew that it could not survive the second blow, and all the cells in its body were clamoring to stay away from that dangerous enemy.

However, it did not escape because its trainer still needed it to fight.

In the bone-piercing pain, it turned around in a daze. But the sight it saw made the blood in its whole body run cold——

The boy it entrusted with its trust and wanted to fight for had his back turned to it and its enemies, squatting in the open space in the distance, holding his head and shivering.

The boy's head was buried deeply in his arms, his eyes closed tightly and not looking at the battlefield.

The bloody King Magikarp was stunned.

It could no longer even see the blade about to fall above its head, only the trembling figure with its back turned to it.

Compared with other Pokémon, most individuals in the Magikarp race are slow-thinking and emotionally sluggish. This is the first time such intense, almost explosive emotions have arisen in its heart. The huge wave of mixed emotions has just

It surged up and was completely burned by the angry flames.

【I stopped running away for you, but you abandoned me on the battlefield and ran away?】

In the burning rage, the bloody Magikarp evolved.

It hissed and roared toward the sky, and the spreading air waves made the Pokémon wearing a steel helmet stop in fear. But it did not launch an attack—the first thing the evolved Gyarados did was to smash

He broke the red and white balls that bound him.

The fragile translucent spherical shell turned into dust under the hammer of the giant tail. The dark blue water dragon no longer belonged to anyone jumped into the river and swam away without looking back. It didn't know if the boy had called to it.

, but it decided at the moment of evolution that it would never respond to his call again.

From then on, it lived in that clear river for a long time. It unleashed its ferocity wantonly, opened up its own territory, and grew into a real beast in day after day battles. In its childhood,

Past events are accumulated layer by layer in the deepest part of the brain, almost disappearing into the vast ocean of memory.

until one day--

A purple-haired girl appeared in front of it with an orange baby dragon.

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

The story of Gyarados is not long. It ended quickly. When Pichu translated the last sentence for the trainer, the medical room fell into a brief silence.

This is not such a special story. Perhaps there are many weak carp kings in the world who have been subdued by weak trainers and completely defeated in front of powerful enemies. Gyarados himself has never been upset about this, and when he traveled with Xiaoye

In half a year, it had even forgotten that it had been subdued by other trainers.

But it happened that in the quarter-finals, it faced Commander Cleaver. Even though it was not the same one, its extremely similar appearance still instantly evoked its dusty memory, which caused it to be in chaos for a while.

After recounting this past incident, Gyarados felt a lot more relaxed. When it saw Xiao Ye, it smiled the same as the day it subdued it, "Thank you for telling me what you think."

The girl took a step closer, still smiling at Gyarados, and tilted her head in confusion, "Gyarados, does that kid look like me?"

Hearing this, Gyarados immediately began to shake his head violently, and the entire dragon's face was full of disgust - it used to be young and ignorant, but now that kind of useless trainer would have conquered it long ago.

Will be beaten away by it!

"Then..." The girl took another step closer, her smile still gentle, but the burning crystal blue flame gradually rose behind her, "Do you think I will abandon you and run away during the battle?"

Gyarados: "..."

At this moment, Gyarados, who had "grown into a real beast", felt the same fear as that day for the first time in a long time.

...No, this is much scarier than Commander Zhan!!!

Gyarados completely understood why Xiaoye reacted this way. If it were questioned about whether it would run away during the battle, it would be so angry that it would spray water on the spot. Just because it understands...

Recalling the way the second master raised his knife and slashed the mountain into pieces, Gyarados had a premonition that he was about to pass away, and immediately shook his head like a rattle.

Xiao Ye stared at Gyarados for a moment while maintaining a smiling expression. It wasn't until a large afterimage of Gyarados shook out that she turned into a nine-headed dragon. Xiao Ye then dispersed the light of the waveguide power as if nothing had happened, and did

He clapped his hands happily, "I think so too. Doesn't this count as a consensus?"

Gyarados nodded hurriedly again. Seeing that Xiaoye finally returned to his original position, he felt relieved and collapsed in the treatment device in a cold sweat.

Now it just wants to go back to a few hours ago and beat itself into a fish in a moment of trance - how on earth did it associate this owner who is more powerful than it with "escape"? I'm afraid it's not something else in its mind.

A stupid fire dragon, right?!

"Sorry."

"?" The limp Long Tuan raised his head blankly upon hearing the sound.

"It was my lack of ability that made you lose to Commander Pi Zhan." Xiaoye suppressed the smile that was too bright for her and said seriously, "I will continue to become stronger with you in the future. If there is still

If you have a chance to fight against Bai Lan's Commander, I will send you out."

"——Let's take revenge together."

The dark blue water dragon straightened up, looked at the trainer's calm and solemn expression, and suddenly softened his expression. The eyes that were always glaring with anger narrowed slightly, and he smiled in the shape of a crescent moon, vaguely showing the innocent appearance of the Magikarp King in the past.

Before the Pichu in Xiao Ye's pocket could marvel at Gyarados's first smiling face - although it was still very ferocious - the Charizard beside him suddenly howled.

The orange fire dragon whined non-stop with an aggrieved look on his face, and the rumble of his voice produced a noisy echo in the closed treatment device, making little Piqiu roll his eyes. This time, there was no need for a translator, he could guess the squirt just by reading his expression.

What did the fire dragon want to say?

We've known each other for so long and you didn't tell me anything, qaq!

Looking at the stupid fire dragon who was in tears, Gyarados' crescent-moon eyes suddenly turned into half-moon eyes, and he roared back angrily.

The continuous howls made the big bird turn around helplessly, facing away from the two dragons and continuing to take a nap. The forest lizard remained motionless, sitting upright with its eyes closed as if the old god was there.

He was as energetic as a fire-breathing dragon, constantly floating left and right in the narrow space of the treatment device, staring at Xiaoye's head with bright eyes.

Even the saliva came out.

Xiao Ye was stared at and felt a chill on the back of her head. While adjusting her bowler hat, she laughed helplessly.

——Forget it. Being able to meet you is already an unimaginable happiness for me.

Considering that the Pokémon had just experienced a fierce battle, and Gyarados's emotions had just been calmed by her "pretending to be evil", Xiaoye did not leave the medical room and return to the arena, but sat on Gyarados

Next to the treatment device, quietly waiting for the treatment to end.

The Pokémon made a fuss for a while and then calmed down, falling into a deep sleep due to exhaustion. In the familiar snoring of Charizard, Xiao Ye gradually relaxed her tense nerves and allowed sleepiness to overwhelm her brain.

Half asleep and half awake, Gyarados heard the sound of gentle footsteps coming from outside the treatment device. It reluctantly opened its eyes and vaguely saw that the person coming had familiar silver hair.

The young man stood a few steps away from the treatment device, staring down at the person in front of him.

In their memories of staying together, Xiaoye's sleeping posture was always very standard. Her hands were placed neatly by her side, and she would not move at all even if she fell into a deep sleep. This was in sharp contrast to the big golden retriever brother and sister.

Naturally, there was no "standard sleeping position" for taking a nap while leaning against the treatment device. Perhaps the air conditioner in the medical room was turned on too much, so she subconsciously curled up her legs and lowered her head to cover her expression.

A few seconds later, the young man's fingertips brushed the girl's hair, and a pure black trench coat lightly covered the sleeping person.

He stopped staying and turned around to walk out of the medical room, his ice blue eyes full of awe.

——Thank you for abiding by our agreement.

Now, it's my turn.

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

small theater:

Xiaoye, who is not afraid of the cold: Halfway through her sleep... she suddenly felt so hot... (confused)
