Chen Mo was woken up by the familiar sound of the alarm clock.
"It hurts..."
Feeling a sense of soreness throughout his body, Chen Mo rolled over with his eyes closed, took out a hand, skillfully turned off the alarm clock on his phone, and then subconsciously shouted.
"Pikachu, it's time to get up and train."
I pushed to the side but couldn't touch anything.
Chen Mo's movements paused.
open one's eyes.
The dazzling sunlight slipped into the room through the gaps in the half-open curtains, shining on the edge of the bed that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Looking to the side.
There was no familiar petite yellow figure, only the charging cable and earphones that he had casually discarded aside, and a dusty handheld device that had been left untouched for a long time.
Chen Mo stared blankly at the small bedroom in front of him.
After a long time, he got out of bed and slowly came to the computer desk.
The laptop screen was still on, and the page was stuck on an unfinished work document.
Memories come back like a tidal wave.
Chen Mo still remembers it.
That night, I worked hard all night to complete the company's latest event planning, and didn't go back to bed until one or two o'clock in the night and fell asleep.
"..."
Chen Mo couldn't believe it.
He returned to the place where he lived in his previous life.
The soreness in his body seemed to tell Chen Mo that in his memory, the life of traveling to another world, meeting elves, and popularizing science elves was just a dream.
wrong!
No, no, no!
Pikachu, Pidgeot, Magikarp, Ghoststone, Absol...
I can remember everything I did with them...
Chen Mo's movements suddenly stagnated.
He couldn't remember clearly.
I...where exactly did I meet them...
Although Chen Mo tried hard to recall the place where he and Pikachu met, he was still not sure what the name of that place was.
Feihongpo? Or Jinxiu Mountain?
It's like having a really big dream. After waking up, although I still remember what exciting things I did in it, some of the more important details have been forgotten as I wake up from the dream. .
Chen Mo sat in front of the computer for a long time. It wasn't until the second alarm on his mobile phone rang that he suddenly came to his senses. He washed up in a daze, then changed clothes, transferred the work documents to his mobile phone, and then carried the Bag, slowly walked downstairs.
The sun is shining brightly outside.
In the park next to the community, the aunts who got up early in the morning to dance square dance made a lot of noise, as if they wanted to compete with the roar of the passing vehicles.
Chen Mo stood at the bus stop, looking up at the tall buildings under the blue sky.
An inexplicable, extremely depressing and uncomfortable feeling suddenly came to my heart.
A bus heading near the company slowly stopped in front.
Chen Mo stood at the front, watching the figures passing by him, getting on the bus, then closing the door and driving slowly forward.
Unable to control his emotions any longer, Chen Mo turned around and ran towards 'home' like he was crazy.
…
Chen Mo felt that he must be sick.
He first asked for a long leave from the company and used up all the several days of annual leave that he had saved for a long time.
Staying alone in the house, lying in bed all day long, doing nothing or thinking about anything.
Just stay in a daze when you wake up, and close your eyes to rest when you are tired.
finally.
One morning, I realized that I couldn't remember what they looked like at all.
Chen Mo realized that his spirit had reached a limit, so he quit his job and prepared to take a long trip with the savings he had saved over the past few years.
"lets go."
Looking back at the living room, Chen Mo picked up his luggage and started walking towards the station when the sky was still bright.
This trip, Chen Mo planned to go to the scenic spot that he had wanted to go before, but had been delayed due to various reasons. In the end, he did not go to the scenic spot.
Chen Mo thought.
The reason why I had such a dream was mainly because I had worked in a depressing environment for too long, and my daily overtime life had caused my nerves to be tense, so I came up with the idea of traveling to another place. A world with a legitimate reason for traveling around without any psychological burden.
If you satisfy your desire to walk around, you should be able to recover.
Just as Chen Mo lowered his head slightly, thinking, and hurried on.
Suddenly.
A familiar yellow petite figure ran past his feet.
Chen Mo's eyes widened.
He looked up quickly.
I saw that illusory yellow petite figure standing on the empty street ahead, looking in the direction of myself. From time to time, I stretched out my little paws to rub my little face, and let out a cute cry.
"Pikachu~"
"..."
Although they all look the same, each Pikachu has its own characteristics.
The suitcase Chen Mo was holding fell to the ground with a bang.
A clear memory suddenly rushed out of my mind.
Pikachu.
This is his Pikachu.
at this time.
The Pikachu that originally stopped turned around again, took two short legs, and started running quickly in one direction.
"etc!"
Chen Mo didn't hesitate and ran as fast as he could, trying to catch up with the phantom that was disappearing and appearing in front of him.
Three hundred meters.
Two hundred meters.
One hundred and fifty meters…
The distance is getting closer.
Chen Mo, who was completely focused on Pikachu's phantom, didn't notice at all that the entire world around him was collapsing at an extremely fast speed.
The grass, flowers and trees on both sides of the street, and the tall buildings seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness, turning into dust and dispersing in the air.
at last.
Together with the earth, it was swallowed up and fell into the endless abyss.
"Got you!"
While falling rapidly, Chen Mo stretched out his hand and finally touched the phantom of Pikachu.
But the next second.
Chen Mo's fingertips passed through Pikachu's body.
Before Chen Mo could react, following Pikachu's phantom, a dazzling white light came from the front, making Chen Mo couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands.
"This is…"
Chen Mo slowly put down his hand.
The warm sunshine fell on him, and what appeared in front of Chen Mo was a small pavilion that looked like no one had been there for a long time. There were overgrown weeds around it, and a feeling of desolation came over him.
but…
Looking at this scene, Chen Mo suddenly felt like crying.
He remembered.
It's here.
He meets Pichu.
And this place is called Hongjingpo Forest.
"Ma Xia..."
A voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Chen Mo turned his head.
Under the shadow of a big tree nearby, a gray-black figure slowly emerged from it, looking at Chen Mo with its orange-red eyes.
"It's really you..."
Those memories that seemed to be bound by some force were finally liberated. Chen Mo looked at the elf that appeared in front of him with a complex expression.
"Marshado."
Marshado, the leader of shadows.
Along with the three holy beasts Suicune, Entei, and Raikou, it serves the God of Rainbows, Ho-oh, and is a fantasy Pokémon with ghost and fighting attributes.
legend.
When the Phoenix King meets a human being it recognizes, it will drop its iridescent feathers.
Humans who pick up the Rainbow Feather, and are guided by the Rainbow Feather, will become so-called Rainbow Heroes when they see the Ho-Oh again.
certainly.
Becoming a Rainbow Hero is not as simple as imagined. The three holy beasts and Marshado who serve and protect the Phoenix King will be responsible for testing the humans who pick up the Rainbow Feather along the way.
Among them, the three holy beasts are in the light, while Ma Shaduo is in the dark.
As the guide of the shadows, Mashado will be responsible for monitoring the hearts of those being tested, and guiding them back when they go down the wrong path.
Chen Mo's deepest impression of Marshado was naturally from the 20th anniversary Pokémon movie "It's You!" "In "Mashado's test of the protagonist Xiaozhi.
In the plot.
Xiaozhi, who had a smooth journey along the way, suffered a huge setback when he met his powerful enemy Cross.
The Fire Dinosaur was defeated and felt that he could not accept losing to someone like Cross who abandoned the elves no matter what. Xiaozhi fell into confusion.
Under the guidance of Marshado, Xiaozhi's consciousness came to a world without Pokémon. After going through many tests in it, he finally found his original intention.
Some of the details are very similar to what Chen Mo experienced before.
"Marshado, what do you want to do?"
Chen Mo didn't quite understand.
Although he is also called a brave man by many elves, he is an ideal brave man and has nothing to do with the Rainbow Hero.
In addition, Chen Mo did not pick up the Rainbow Feather.
Logically speaking, there was no reason for Marshado to test him.
"Ma Xia..."
Ma Sha took another look at Chen Mo.
Subsequently.
Chen Mo heard a childish voice ringing from his mind.
"Of course it's to save you."
"Um?"
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment.
"Can you please explain in detail?"
I originally wanted to use Hu Nonggui Stone's phrase "You don't understand even if I tell you" to continue teasing Chen Mo, but when I saw Chen Mo's serious face, he said, "If you don't explain things clearly today, this matter will be gone." With a "not finished" expression, Mashado felt that he shouldn't meddle in other people's business.
With a heavy sigh in his heart, Machado stretched out his palm and waved it upward.
The blue sky suddenly changed.
Like a huge screen, a clear picture appeared in the center of the dark clouds.
Chen Mo looked up.
At the center of the picture is himself struggling desperately in Giratina's shadow.
Just when his struggling movements became weaker and weaker, a ray of blue light emerged from his chest.
"That is…"
That location.
Naturally, this is where Chen Mo hung the Zekrom power crystal.
Did Zekrom save him?
Before Chen Mo could think more, the azure blue light became stronger and stronger, directly confronting Giratina's dark red light.
Immediately afterwards.
A dark dragon shadow emerged from the azure light, stretched out its huge dragon claws, and grabbed Giratina's black shadow head.
"Zekrom!"
Chen Mo opened his mouth wide.
Could it be said that Zekrom has always stayed in that power crystal?
at the same time.
Marshado's voice entered Chen Mo's mind again.
"Don't think too much. This is just a phantom created by those two people with their own power. It is not the arrival of their true bodies."
"Otherwise, even I won't be able to successfully save your life from their impact."
Even though both sides are just a phantom.
However, the huge energy caused by the brief collision still caused the entire underground ruins to tremble and enter a state of collapse.
"Cheating Kangxi"
According to Machado's explanation.
Chen Mo, who was at the center of the collision between Zekrom and Giratina, suffered the most severe impact.
Although the group of unknown totems desperately formed a line of defense and, together with Marshado, prevented Chen Mo's body from collapsing under the outpouring of energy, they faced the collision of two top legends and were even attacked by Giratina first. Chen Mo suffered the most serious mental impact.
Emergency moment.
Marshado combined with the unknown totems to directly protect Chen Mo's spirit with his deepest memory as the center.
And Chen Mo's deepest memories are those from his previous life.
but.
Sometimes, Marshado couldn't control his power.
As a leader in the shadows, Qima Shaduo will naturally draw out the darkness and weakness deep in human beings. In addition, because he has to resist the impact from Zekrom and Giratina, this leads to Chen Mo mistakenly thought that he had just had a dream. When he woke up from the dream, he returned to his previous life.
Thanks to Ma Shaduo for his timely response.
If Chen Mo is allowed to remain trapped in the false world woven by the power of it and the unknown totems, over time, Chen Mo may really not be able to come back.
Um.
In fact, it took Masha a lot of tricks to get Chen Mo to wake up. In the end, if he didn't think of some humans in another world, who had always emphasized the bond between humans and elves, he thought of using the phantom of Pikachu to seduce Chen Mo.
if not.
It's really over.
Marshado did not tell these things.
After all, he still has no way to completely control his own power. It would be somewhat embarrassing to say this.
"I see…"
Chen Mo, who was standing aside, touched his chin in deep thought.
According to Mashado's description, it came to Chen Mo's shadow from Suicune in the Evergreen Forest.
In this case.
It is in line with some of Chen Mo's previous guesses.
The abnormal emotions that he had appeared from time to time after returning from the Evergreen Forest were probably due to Marshado.
Also, when Ghost Stone suppressed the Suicune clone and beat up the elf clone before, it was also because of the help of Mashado, who also lived in the shadow world, right?
but.
Chen Mo recalled the experience just now, as if he had a nightmare, but from the nightmare, he gained many insights.
He turned his head and looked at Marshado, who was standing in the shadow not far away.
"Thank you, Marchado."
"Thank you for making me understand how lucky I am to meet Pikachu and the others."
