Pokemon Dawn

Xiaoling is a trainer with flexible play styles. Compared with most people's single fighting style in their rookie stage, she is always willing to try a variety of tactics and apply them in her own battles.

She is not as good at strong attacks as her brother Xiaojie, nor is she focused on high-speed battles like Xiaoye. Her battle rhythm is always fast and slow, and there are many changes hidden in the same moves, which is enough to amaze those who fight her for the first time.

Can't figure it out.

However, when facing Akita Saki, all Xiaoling's special skills failed.

Xiaoling is just a ten-year-old newcomer, and the changes in her moves are not without flaws. Her opponents caught every tiny flaw, and steadily defused Xiaoling's offensive and counterattacked. The second half of the game has just begun, and the game has just begun.

The score has become two to four.

"Hey, it was discovered again..." Seeing his sister's ace emperor Nabo being frustrated one after another, Xiaojie scratched his head in distress and muttered, "The shape is exactly the same as the tidal wave, why was it discovered that it was salt water?"

Tong Ye, who was sitting in the back row, seemed to have heard Xiaojie's question and interjected, "The foam in salt water is slightly more than that of ordinary water, and the shape is more finely divided. I think it is easy to distinguish."

Xiaojie: "..."

Night:"……"

Xiao Tian:"……"

"Look." Tongye took out his mobile phone and opened a picture for the three of them to see. "This is a page from the textbook of the move teaching class. The left is a water cannon, and the right is a water cannon mixed with salt water. The difference is obvious.

Right?"

The three children stared at the two pictures that looked exactly the same for a moment, and all looked at the innocent-looking boy in the back row with complex expressions. Xiaojie handed back the phone and solemnly summarized everyone's shared sentiments.

"You fourteen-year-old trainers are so scary."

After chatting for a while, he turned back and saw that the score had become three to five. Looking at the last Pokémon standing in front of Xiaoling, Yongjira, Xiaoye couldn't help but frown.

Yongjila and Sashi's three gophers were all injured, but Sashi still had two Pokémon that had never appeared in the game. Xiaoling's disadvantage was really difficult to recover from.

Just when Xiaoye was worried about her friend, a hand patted her shoulder.

"Don't look like that. Just smile. The game isn't over yet."

After hearing this "golden retriever famous saying", Xiaoye turned around, her face suddenly filled with speechlessness.

"Before you say, 'Don't show such an expression,'...you should first look at your own expression."

Xiaojie:......qaq

The miracle that everyone expected did not happen. Under the all-round suppression of the opponent's experience and tactical ability, Xiaoling, whose special skills failed to work, was finally defeated with a score of 3:6.

Such a score is not really beautiful. On the way to greet Xiaoling in the player tunnel, Xiaojie and his grandfather practiced eighteen ways to comfort his sister. However, Xiaoling, who has always been careless, obviously did not care so much about this.

, the period of depression ended quickly before being interviewed by reporters. It was not until Xiaojie and Yuan Zheng saw the girl walking out of the passage still smiling, that they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although we lost, it was a really enjoyable battle -" Xiaoling ran to the side of everyone with brisk steps, and walked next to her brother with a smile, "Why, are you afraid that I will be sad?"

Before Xiaojie could say anything, Xiaoling said with a pure face, "I'm not sad. Anyway, I'm not the fastest loser, and I'm not the team's errand boy."

Xiaojie: "..."

You are not sad, but I feel like I am sad again!!

After satisfyingly sinking her brother, Xiaoling added, "It seems that the 'leadership' of our team has been determined to be Xiaotian and Xiaoye."

Xiaoye was stunned when she heard this, but Xiaoling had already continued speaking quickly, "Tomorrow is the battle between the two of you. According to the previous agreement, the person who wins is the captain, and the person who loses is the vice-captain, right? That's it.

I will definitely videotape the entire memorable match!"

Night:"……"

I was only thinking about the winning bonus and forgot that there is such a thing...

"Then, um, wait a minute..." Xiao Yeqi stretched out Erkan's hand, "Isn't it too rash to decide the captain and vice-captain only based on game results... Should we use another method, such as voting?"

Xiaoling blinked, "Okay. Friends who support using the next battle to determine the captain and deputy captain, please raise your hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two golden retrievers had already raised their hands high, and Xiaotian also raised his hands leisurely as if it had nothing to do with him. The smiling silver-haired young man followed suit by raising his hands very invisibly, unable to keep up with the rhythm.

Old Yuan Zheng looked at his grandchildren, then at the smiling Xinghai, and joined the army of people raising their hands blankly and solemnly.

Xiaoling: "Hahaha, what kind of trouble are you adults causing!"

Night:"…………"

Seeing Xiaoling make the final decision with a smiling "Then it's settled", Xiaoye, who is not good at being an official at all - even if it's just an official the size of a sesame seed - felt mixed emotions and silently added it to her post-match schedule.

One item.

No matter what the result of the game is, go to the library and borrow a few books such as "The Responsibilities and Obligations of Team Leadership" to study hard...

At this point, the battle for the top eight was completely over. Everyone had dinner together as usual, and then dispersed to move around freely.

Before leaving the Pokémon Center, Xiaoye went to the medical room first.

The consumption from the fierce battle in the morning has not yet been recovered, and most of the Pokémon are sleeping quietly. Xiaoye does not want to disturb them, and plans to move the pre-match tactical arrangements and status adjustments to tomorrow morning.

There was only one Pokémon exception - the orange Charizard was so energetic that it seemed as if he had never been in a battle. He was restlessly rolling around in the treatment device. Seeing Xiao Ye pushing the door open, Charizard immediately rushed out of the treatment device excitedly.

Yi, Huhu waved his claws vigorously, showing off his strong muscles to Xiaoye.

Still the same.

Xiaoye shook her head with a smile and asked in a low voice, "Charizard, I have to go out now, do you want to go with me?"

The restless Fire Dragon immediately nodded his head and couldn't wait to get out of the medical room first - for this restless guy, just lying down and resting in the treatment device may be a torture comparable to Gyarados' surf slap on the face.

Bar.

As soon as it exited the Pokémon Center's door, Charizard spread its wings and flew around Xiaoye. Xiaoye knew that excess physical strength was an inherent attribute of Charizard, so she didn't stop it from flying around - although she was immediately struck by it.

The small whirlwind created by Charizard was covered in dust.

After touching the Pichu who had accidentally eaten a mouthful of dirt in her pocket, Xiaoye walked to the agreed-upon location - the market to the west of the contestant village.

The narrow street located to the west of the Quartz Stadium is the busiest commercial district in the entire player village. For those who like to watch Pokémon battles, the annual regional league is like a celebration. Therefore, there is no shortage of people wandering around in the player village.

Tourists visiting.

During the day, people's minds are attracted by the fierce competition, and at night, the market is the busiest. Various folk shops and stalls are lined up along the street, and the whole street is brightly lit. Although the sky is covered with clouds and there are no stars and moon,

But the radiance of the lanterns dispersed the darkness of the night, bathing the street in warmth.

Xiao Ye stopped at the entrance of the market. The boy with short blue hair was leaning against the street lamp, his white kimono caught in the afterglow of the lamp.

Xiaoye waved, causing the dishonest Charizard to land, and then walked forward with a smile.

"Awaited."

Before the battle yesterday, Bai Lan declared, "If you win, I will tell you something you want to know." After the game today, Bai Lan took the initiative to meet here in the evening, presumably to fulfill his previous promise.

Bar.

Xiao Ye had a vague premonition that what Bai Lan was going to talk about might be a topic related to "her" identity, so she didn't say much and waited quietly for Bai Lan to speak.

The two of them walked slowly side by side in the bustling market. After passing the third store, Brand said, "First of all, I need to apologize to you. I'm sorry for interfering with your game during the first round."

Xiao Ye was stunned and immediately recalled the scene at that time - a young man from the Glorious Society named Luke had replaced her original opponent without anyone noticing. Fortunately, Luke's identity was discovered by the organizer in time during the game.

The ridiculous battle did not continue.

"That guy came from the same place as me, and I am also responsible for not noticing his actions. I can guarantee that he will get the punishment he deserves." Bai Lan said in a calm tone, and glanced at Xiao Ye, "You don't seem surprised?

"

"Well, I vaguely guessed it before." Xiao Ye nodded.

Although Luke and Bai Lan have never appeared in front of Xiao Ye at the same time, they have both shown their understanding of "Xiao Ye" intentionally or unintentionally - although this has made Xiao Ye herself confused more than once. Based on the existing information, it can be inferred that

"There is a connection between these two people" is a logical conclusion.

Bai Lan was silent for a moment, stopped, and looked up at Xiao Ye.

"As you think, I know you. I have known you a long time ago." The young man said.

Xiao Ye didn't answer. She realized that Bai Lan's word was "know", not "know" - the hidden meaning was undoubtedly huge.

"Although there are still many things that need to be confirmed, let's keep the story short today." Bai Lan's expression was very serious, and the cold color of the night sky flashed in her golden eyes, "I need you to do one thing..."

The next moment, a bone-chilling sense of crisis suddenly rose from the soles of Xiaoye's feet, and the power of the waveguide began to rhythm instinctively. At the same time, a soft child's voice interrupted the boy's words.

"Bai Lan - I found you!"

The young man turned around in surprise and found that the little boy had been standing behind him at some point.

The child was half a head shorter than Bai Lan and looked very young. His soft purple hair was spread down, and his eyes were wide open. A large pointed hat that seemed to be a bit inappropriate in size was placed on his head, and the cloak was on his back.

It was also dragged on the ground. Pedestrians passing by couldn't help but glance here, because the little boy's magician-like dress was very strange - even the transparent arm armor fastened on his arm was because of his

The dressing style is a bit more weird.

Bai Lan frowned in confusion. Before she could ask anything, the little boy's cheerful voice sounded again, "Why are you here? Bai Ye said you must be in the dormitory at this time, which made me look for it in vain for a long time. By the way.

, I just dropped by to pick it up...um..."

The little boy got stuck mid-sentence and began to think hard, "Come and get...which data from which sample..."

"Monitoring data of sample y31?"

Bai Lan had a look of helplessness on her face, and sighed after seeing the little boy nodding vigorously, "Diwei, don't talk about this kind of thing in public next time."

"Oh." The little boy nodded obediently, blinking his big round golden eyes, "Why?"

"..."

Bai Lan wisely ignored the little boy's question, "Follow me back to the dormitory, and I'll give it to you." Then he looked at Xiaoye, "We'll talk about the topic later..."

Before she finished her farewell words, Bai Lan saw the girl in front of her suddenly showing a reluctant expression, "Are you leaving so soon? Didn't we agree to win two out of three games and try again? Charizard can't wait.

Already."

With that said, she poked Charizard's soft belly, "Do you want to fight Eluredo again?"

"Roar!" Charizard never cared whether the change of topic was abrupt. As soon as the word "battle" hit his ears, it immediately aroused its enthusiasm and roared at the trainer.

Bai Lan was stunned for a moment, then gradually frowned.

Xiao Ye's speech at this moment suddenly seemed very normal, but to Bai Lan it was too weird - she was clearly not a person who was keen on fighting, and she even refused his invitation to fight again at the end of the game. Why did she suddenly say this now?

Made an inexplicable remark?

While Bai Lan remained silent, Xiaoye took two steps forward and greeted the little boy in fancy clothes with a smile, "Hello."

"Hello. Do you have anything to do with Bai Lan?" The little boy raised his head and looked very well-behaved.

"Yes." Xiaoye replied with a smile, "Your arm armor looks very special. Is it a toy?"

When the little boy lowered his head and looked at his right arm, Bai Lan's gaze subconsciously swept over it. Then, it suddenly froze on one point.

In the lights of the street, the transparent armor reflects the warm light of stars. The halo inside it swims like a living thing, and even under the cover of thousands of artificial stars, it still reveals its own cold tone.

——That's more than just reflection.

After realizing this fact, Bai Lan's expression suddenly changed.

The little boy looked at his arm armor steadily and suddenly grinned with a big smile.

"That's right - this is the best toy."

Before he finished speaking, the little boy raised his arm without warning.

The armor swam and turned into a muzzle with fangs and claws, and the gray-white life-threatening light shot towards the heart of the kimono boy like lightning.

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

small theater:

Bai Lan: (Seriously) I need you to do something...

Little boy: (interruption) Bai Lan - I found you!

Bai Lan: (continues to be serious) The topic just now will be discussed later...

Xiaoye: (interruption) Are you leaving so soon? Didn’t we agree to win two out of three games and try again? Charizard can’t wait.

Bai Lan:...Why is it that after the competition is over, you still have a grudge against my tongue? (Black face)
