After settling down the Blue Eyes White Dragon, Qingliu came to the edge of the lake and slowly squatted down, reaching out his hand to dip into the lake water.
"It's no different from normal water temperature."
Qingliu said to himself.
But as he stirred in the water for longer, the water temperature suddenly turned into a biting coldness. When the irritated Qingliu wanted to stop, a hint of warmth slowly emerged, and the water temperature returned to normal.
This inexplicable touch of ice and fire surprised Qingliu, and then he called Lucario out of the elf ball.
"Hurry up and confirm whether this water is really effective."
Lucario didn't hesitate when he heard the words, stepped into the lake, and walked forward. He didn't stop until the lake was submerged up to his thighs.
As the appendages behind the ears floated up, the blue waveguide power merged into the water along its lower body. A purer waveguide blue appeared in the originally clear blue and black lake water.
Then, something happened that surprised Qingliu.
Under the illumination of the power of the waveguide, the lake began to emit a faint light, illuminating this area. At the same time... it also illuminated ghost-like figures suspended in mid-air.
A rough count, no less than thirty.
"These are not ghost-type Pokémon, but real... ghosts."
Qingliu watched the streams of water floating in front of him from all directions, drifting towards the center of the lake, and finally gradually merged into the figure at the bottom of the river.
"Are these the so-called souls going to the spiritual world..."
Qingliu whispered to himself.
He also didn't expect that ghosts could actually be seen in the Pokémon world, and there were still so many of them.
But surprisingly, even if I saw the ghosts with my own eyes, there was no fear in my mind. Instead, as the number of ghosts increased, a warm feeling began to spread throughout my body.
"These dead souls have been sublimated at the moment they disappeared in the center of the lake, so they won't make people subconsciously afraid, and it seems that after entering the bottom of the lake, there will be a little residual energy fed back to this space. This lake... just Like a transformer of feedback.”
Lucario violently expanded the range of the waveguide's power and illuminated the center. Aoyagi could clearly see the energy remnants fed back from Lucario's mouth.
“I feel more like a middleman than a converter.”
Qingliu couldn't help but mutter to himself as he watched only one-third of the energy drift away and disappear, while more remained in the lake.
"Middleman? What do you mean?" Lucario was a little confused.
"Nothing. In other words, this lake is indeed useful for recovering from injuries, right?"
"Well, I can feel that the recovery speed is many times faster than your healing spray, and...it seems that not only the body, but also the mind can be relaxed a lot."
Upon hearing this, Aoyagi immediately took out two Poké Balls.
The first red light flashed, and a tired-looking green sheep bird appeared above Qingliu's head.
Seeing that there was water all around, the green sheep bird was a little confused. It stepped back and forth with its two little paws on its head, looking a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, you can regain your energy here as soon as possible."
"Tweet?"
"Do not worry."
Qingliu took the green cotton bird off its head, comforted it for a while and put it in the water.
Faced with such a scene, the blue cotton bird opened its cotton-like wings somewhat awkwardly, trying to expand the area of its body. At the same time, its two small paws padded the water in a panic, trying not to sink.
This cute look made Qingliu couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't worry, with your size and weight, you won't be able to sink. On the contrary, if you continue to let your wings touch the water, it will eventually absorb water and gain enough weight to sink."
Qingmianniao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
No wonder the more it spread its wings, the more difficult it felt to move. It quickly folded its wings and looked at Qingliu with a sad look.
At the same time, he kept shouting "chirp, chirp, chirp", as if he was blaming Qingliu for not saying it earlier, almost letting him sink into the water.
Qingliu shook his head helplessly.
But it seems that what Lucario said is true, the effect of this lake is indeed good, and the green sheep bird's spirit has improved a lot in such a short period of time.
Then Qingliu stood up and came to a place a little distance away from Qingmianniao and Lucario, took out the elf ball, and pressed the button in silence for a moment.
Greymon, covered in scars, appeared, and its huge body fell into the water and leaned on the shore. In an instant, the water in the lake overflowed a lot, and at the same time, it stirred up thick waves that rippled farther away.
This huge movement made all the other aboriginal Pokémon on the other side of the lake look over in surprise. Even the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, which was eating energy cubes, looked up and saw the appearance and size of Greymon. After that, his eyes gradually became sharper.
Aoliu ignored the looks of these people or Pokémon, and quietly squatted down next to Greymon again.
Looking at the small wounds on its body that had almost recovered, as well as other hideous large wounds, Qingliu sighed softly.
He already knew from Lucario what happened after he was unconscious, and he also knew that Greymon was stimulated by his own injury, causing its whole body to burst and bleed, and eventually turned into bones and evolved into a zombie Greymon.
But the more he knew, the more Qingliu felt the weight of this feeling.
How much determination and perseverance does it take, and how much courage does it take to protect itself even if Greymon's blood is drained?
Qingliu doesn’t know.
But Qingliu will not let such a thing happen again.
"Have a good sleep, everything will be fine when you wake up." Qingliu said softly.
As if Greymon really heard Qingliu's murmur, its body that had been leaning stiffly on the shore began to slowly recover, and it lay down gently, and its breathing became smoother.
The surrounding lake water emitted a faint light, repairing the injuries on its body.
Aoyagi stood and watched for a few minutes. After making sure there were no other problems, he once again distanced himself from Greymon and turned to look at the lake.
The panel appeared, and small blue words flashed quickly in front of his eyes.
[Ancient traces detected...start exploring...]
【Exploring...】
In the field of vision that only Qingliu could see, a blue light centered on himself, covering the entire Farewell Fountain in an instant.
Then, the small blue letters continued to beat.
[The target has been locked and is being explored...]
[Hidden spring (fountain of farewell) detected...exploring...]
[Exploration progress: 0%...3%...8%...21%...100%]
[The exploration is completed and can be summoned.]
[Summon object——random]
【whether】
"yes."
Aoyagi clicked to confirm, and the panel turned into a pattern of dots and began to rotate and jump.
After dozens of seconds, the beating speed gradually slowed down.
Finally... he stopped at a pattern that Qingliu had never seen before.
It was a cube, with several very irregular metal squares on each of its six faces that seemed to have some kind of regular power stripes.
After a while, the small blue letters appeared again.
[Confirm summon target: Digizoid of Time]
【Calling...】
