boom!
On a mountain trail in the Tianguan Mountains, a bicycle frame was leaning on the roadside, but a muffled sound suddenly came from inside.
Huh, huh.
Xu Qiansu lay on her back in the carriage, her chest rising and falling, breathing heavily.
The gate of time and space floated faintly in the sky, and then suddenly disappeared in the next moment.
Zoroa's Poké Ball rolled gently on the carpet a few times, and then there was a 'clang' and blue light flashed, and Zoroa appeared in the carriage.
"Huh?" She glanced around a few times in confusion. In her memory, Xu Qiansu put her into the Pokémon ball while she was still sleeping. But now, when she looked around, why couldn't she see other Pokémon? Didn’t you see that fierce female human?
She trotted to Xu Qiansu's side and stuck out her little tongue to lick the side of his face.
Xu Qiansu stretched out his hand and scratched her chin. Soraya narrowed his eyes and rubbed Xu Qiansu's face with his forehead.
But Xu Qiansu didn't get close to Soraya anymore. He quickly got up with his hands on the carpet, dug around in his arms... and took out nothing.
He rummaged around in the car with some eagerness... but didn't find what he was looking for.
But Xu Qiansu bit her finger directly, lifted up her sleeves, and wrote on her forearm with blood.
But as soon as he wrote the word 'body', he stopped moving and covered his forehead with some pain. His whole body couldn't help but tremble, and sweat couldn't help dripping, but his clothes were not wet...
"Huh!?" Soraya's face froze when he saw this, and he quickly circled Xu Qiansu. He didn't understand why he wanted to record it, and why he looked so painful?
Does it hurt?
Feeling uncomfortable?
Soraya had never felt so uneasy.
Xu Qiansu wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, and then continued writing on his forearm.
But this time, after writing only the words "Cattleya," he retracted his fingers and put down his sleeves.
After finishing writing, Xu Qiansu's hands were still trembling slightly, and her handsome face was as pale as paper.
He sat on the carpet in a state of exhaustion, leaning against the carriage, panting heavily. The white jade-like flute of the God was tied around his waist with a red thread.
"Yeah." Soraya jumped onto Xu Qiansu's lap lightly, raised her little face to look at him, her big golden eyes sparkling with water.
Xu Qiansu calmed down for a while, then chuckled, reached out and pinched Soraya's face, "That's why I can't let you go."
"Huh?" Zoroa tilted his head again, not understanding what Xu Qiansu was talking about at all.
Xu Qiansu pursed her lips and remained silent for a while, then looked back. She looked through the window in the carriage to the night sky. The silver moon was already dimly visible in the clouds and mist... It was almost dawn.
Xu Qiansu looked away, looked at her bitten finger, and remained silent.
"Well..." Suddenly, Soraya opened his mouth slightly, took Xu Qiansu's finger in his mouth, and made a cute nasal noise from his throat.
Moist, accompanied by a sucking sensation...itchy.
"Hmm." Zoroa let go of Xu Qiansu's fingers, stretched out his tongue and licked it... There was no healing grass, so he had to rely on saliva.
Xu Qiansu came back to her senses, gently stroked the fur on Zoroa's back with her other hand, and said in a low but clear voice: "From now on, it's just the two of us."
"Huh?" Soraya blinked, a little puzzled, but didn't pay too much attention... The sweet dream Cresselia gave her was Xu Qiansu... So as long as Xu Qiansu is still there, no matter if it's just the two of them, Whether it's one person or not, it doesn't matter whether it's as lively and lively as before... Zoroa doesn't care.
Cattleya helped Xu Qiansu return to Xicui, but the reversal space is not a place where you can just come and leave. Even for Cattleya, it is not easy to do this... but she always has a way. She is always beautiful, strong, and reliable.
But she also paid a lot for it...
"Body, Cattleya, one..." Xu Qiansu looked at the bloody words on her forearm, a little lost in thought.
"Why would I write these things?"
A gentle murmur swept out of the carriage and melted into the night.
When Xu Qiansu came here now, he only brought what he should have in the Xicui area...namely, the God's Flute, the magical slate, the platinum pendant and Zoroa...
It's not that he doesn't want to bring other things...he can only bring these.
The rising sun is rising in the east, and little golden warm rays are caressing by.
Xu Qiansu opened the car curtain and looked up into the distance. The breeze blew by and stirred up some snow.
"Hmm..." Zoroa moved the tip of her nose slightly, sniffing around. She was on alert. Now that Gardevoir, Vulpix and other Pokémon are no longer around, she had to rely on her to protect Xu Qiansu... at least that's what she thought. of.
Xu Qiansu stretched out her hand to cover her heart. After a moment of silence, she pointed in a direction, "Let's go there. There is a lake there..."
Soraya nodded in understanding, worshiping first love... Although Soraya didn't know what 'first love' meant, she had heard the female human say it many times.
"We must seize the time..." Xu Qiansu whispered to herself, gently rubbing the word '一' on her forearm.
Although he didn't know why he had to hurry up, there was obviously nothing important pressing him at the moment.
But Xu Qiansu had a dark hunch in his heart... He had no time.
Perhaps, this 'one' refers to one month... With the only month left, Xu Qiansu chose to worship the girl.
As he said that, Xu Qiansu thought that she always had a sullen face, which might scare Soraya, so she smiled gently and looked down at Soraya, "I was a little too gloomy just now."
"Huh?" Soraya's eyebrows were slightly curved. She didn't know why Xu Qiansu was gloomy. She just wanted Xu Qiansu to be as peaceful and happy as usual.
Xu Qiansu picked up Soraya and immediately stepped off the frame, looking up at the frame with many memories... He was reluctant to throw it away, but Cattleya was not here, so no one could force him to do so. it.
"Hmm." Xu Qiansu was thinking, but she saw that Soraya had jumped out of his arms, stepped on the snow, and trotted behind the frame. He pressed his two hind feet against the snow, stretched out his front feet, and pushed the frame. wheel.
Soraya didn't have as many ideas as Xu Qiansu. She just knew that Xu Qiansu couldn't bear to part with this wooden frame... Just push it away, doesn't it just take a little effort and time?
Now she has a lot of time with Su Su.
But no... not much time.
But Xu Qiansu still stepped forward, put his hands against the back of the car, and pushed together with Soraya.
"Uh, uh, ah!" Soraya seemed to be counting one, two, three. When he said the word 'ah', he pressed his calves against the snow.
Xu Qiansu also worked hard...the frame finally moved forward.
But Soraya fell into the snow with a 'pop'... With her height, she could only push the wheel. If the wheel moved, she would fall if she was not prepared.
Xu Qiansu was about to pick her up, but Soraya had already stood up on his own, shaking his whole body to clean up the snow, and then looked up at Xu Qiansu.
Somehow, she suddenly smiled charmingly.
Xu Qiansu laughed with her.
They continued to push the frame and walked forward slowly.
What's the point?
Pointless.
But if Xu Qiansu cared about this, he would not give up the opportunity to go back to modern times and come to Xicui again.
The wheels pressed against the snow, making a soft crunching sound.
Soraya couldn't reach the carriage and couldn't push it together, so he could only stand on the top of the carriage, like a high-spirited lookout, always observing the surrounding scenery and guarding against accidents.
Not long after, the 'accident' finally came.
The sun has dispersed, and gloomy clouds and mist are floating in the sky...it's snowing.
The snow in Tianguan Mountain is not small. Regardless of the temperature, if you are in it, you will not be able to see your fingers, but the visibility is not more than five meters.
Now we are on a mountain trail, and if we are not careful, we will fall off the cliff.
Can't hurry...
But Qilulian lived in Tianguan Mountain for half a month, and it only stopped snowing for one day when she reunited with Xu Qiansu... So who knows how long it will snow now?
A month later, Xu Qiansu may not be able to leave Tianguan Mountain...
Xu Qiansu looked up at the gray sky, exhaled a breath of white air, and while thinking, suddenly heard a few dull footsteps behind her.
"Huh!?" Soraya was furious, and quickly jumped down from the carriage, standing in front of Xu Qiansu with his short legs, staring closely at the black figure in the wind and snow ahead.
Xu Qiansu turned her head and looked, and saw three figures walking slowly in the wind and snow... two Blizzard Kings and a Snow Lime Monster.
The two Blizzard Kings knew that humans could not understand what they were saying, so they walked forward on their own, but they leaned against the carriage, their muscles like raised stones, helping Xu Qiansu push together.
The snow monster looked at Soraya, blinked his big cute eyes, and asked in a milky voice, "You smell like the female Kirulian...are you her friend?"
"Yeah." Soraya also blinked, and his innocent and simple little mind thought for a while before nodding lightly.
Hearing this, the Xueli monster couldn't help but laugh, "We will help you~"
Xu Qiansu looked up at the Blizzard King and his wife. Although he didn't know why they helped him, he still smiled, said "Thank you", and pushed the carriage together.
After a while, a snow boy emerged from the snow, looked at Xu Qiansu, and then called his friends to come forward together.
This snow boy... was the one that fell off the cliff not long ago and was carried into Xu Qiansu's arms.
The snow boys did not have that much strength, so they could only gather on the carriage to guide Blizzard King and Xu Qiansu to prevent them from falling... Even in the wind and snow, the snow boys could see things... After all, they were The incarnation of snow.
The carriage drove forward against the wind and snow, with many tokens left by Pokémon floating in the wind.
The feathers left by a Muke hawk were picked up by the wind and passed over Xu Qiansu's face, and were immediately caught by his quick eyes and hands.
The frame broke away from Xu Qiansu's hands and was still pushed forward by Blizzard King.
Xu Qiansu looked at this scene and was silent for a while before walking forward and asking Snow Boy to point out another way, a way through the mountain instead of going down the mountain.
Unconsciously, more and more Pokémon gathered on Xu Qiansu's carriage. They didn't have any bad intentions. They were just curious about this human being and the situation, so they stepped forward to take a look, but they couldn't help it. help.
"Hmm~" Soraya lay on Xu Qiansu's shoulder, looking in a good mood... Of course, she enjoyed the time with Xu Qiansu very much.
However, the frame is parked in front of a recessed hillside. Such a terrain can withstand some wind and snow... plus the frame, it is a rare place to live in the freezing Tianguan Mountain.
Xu Qiansu let go of her hand and stopped pushing the frame.
Blizzard King and many Pokémon looked confused.
Xu Qiansu leaned over and entered the carriage. After a while, he came out holding the fruit and distributed it to the Pokémon.
The Pokémon were naturally cheering. They just wanted to help this human, but they never thought they could get these fruits.
Xu Qiansu gently caressed the frame of the car, brushed her fingers over the withered flowers left by Sakura Treasure, and then gently touched the kitten drawn by Charming Meow with her claws... Xu Qiansu withdrew her hand and said nothing. Without saying anything more, he just took some food and left with Soraya.
This frame was made by him and the Pokémon from Hidden Spring... In that case, he left it to the Pokémon.
The Pokémon looked at Xu Qiansu's back, but for some reason, their hearts felt a little sour and heavy... It was obvious that it was just their first meeting, and they didn't get along well. It was obvious that the human had not even spoken to them. sentence.
The snow in Tianguan Mountain is as light as catkins, but it is layered, blocking the Pokémon's sight.
In the wind and snow, Xu Qian strode away without anything.
Zoroa walked quickly with short legs and followed Xu Qiansu's pace. He raised his face and looked at him, "Oh~"
Xu Qiansu lowered his eyes and looked at her, smiling softly.
It's time to go down the mountain...
Three days later, Xu Qiansu appeared in a town at the foot of Tianguan Mountain.
He did not stay in the town for long, he just worked for a day, earned some money, bought some food, and then continued to lead Soraya westward.
What's to the west?
There is nothing, just an unremarkable lake at the junction.
Xu Qiansu and Soraya kept each other company, depended on each other, and walked to the west... This was the only journey he and Soraya took.
They have no transportation and rely entirely on walking.
Although they were traveling, there were fewer and fewer towns near the edge of the Xicui area, so most of the places they traveled were inaccessible, making it difficult to collect supplies.
The wild is full of dangers, and not every wild Pokémon is kind to them, so most of the time, they can't even get a soothing sleep.
Soraya was weak in body and weak in strength, so he suffered a lot along the way.
But she has no regrets.
From the moment Soraya met Xu Qiansu, everything she encountered were good things and things that made her happy... She firmly believed in this.
This is a strange pair of travelers.
A seventeen-year-old boy and a Zoroa that can't fight.
People who are hostile to Pokémon don’t understand why this boy wants to go with Pokémon and shout that he is a traitor to humanity...
The person who captured the Pokémon didn't understand why the boy wanted to conquer such a weak Pokémon...
But they don't care.
They bathe in the lake together, steal food from the trap bear, and then are chased by the trap bear.
Xu Qiansu taught Zoroa how to read, and also taught Zoroa how to play the flute... although Zoroa couldn't play it with his body.
They just supported each other and moved forward, heading towards the border of the Xicui area.
…
Twenty-seven days later, after nearly a month of long journey, Xu Qiansu and Soraya finally arrived at the lake.
At this moment, it is night.
The stars and the moon shine, and the moonlight is like silver yarn.
Xu Qiansu stared at the sparkling lake in front of her under the night sky in ecstasy. Comparing it with the lake in her memory, she finally determined that this was it.
He lowered his eyes, looked at Soraya, and chuckled, "After crossing this lake, we will leave Xicui and arrive in Kandu."
"Kanto? Where is Kanto? I have never heard of it? Is it beautiful? Is it livable? Will there be many Pokémon? Is there a lot of delicious food? Are we going to Kanto?" Zoroa Her big golden eyes were shining. She looked up at Xu Qiansu and excitedly asked questions one after another.
Xu Qiansu paused and whispered: "I have never been to Guandu, but it is very beautiful there."
"Why? You've obviously never been there." Soraya looked curious.
Xu Qiansu smiled, "Because there once lived a lovely girl there."
"Hmm!" Soraya shook her tail excitedly, raised her little face and looked at Xu Qiansu, her cute big eyes narrowed. Although she couldn't understand, she would be very happy as long as she talked to Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu did not burn paper or burn incense.
He and Zoroa made a somewhat crude boat and placed it in the lake.
Xu Qiansu stepped onto the boat, then slowly sat down against the edge of the boat, and the boat slowly sailed forward along the water waves.
Soraya was lying on the edge of the boat with her two front paws, her big fluffy and cute tail swaying slightly. She looked curiously at the bottom of the lake, wondering if she could catch a fish from it for Xu Qiansu to eat.
Xu Qiansu looked at Soraya's back without saying a word. His eyes were full of inexplicable things, but in the end, they turned into a soft smile.
He took the Flute of God, put it to his lips, and gently played a tune... this time, he played it for himself.
"Uh-huh~" Soraya sat on the window sill, his cute tail swaying lightly, patting Xu Qiansu.
The breeze gradually picked up and soon merged into the night.
At the end of the song, Xu Qiansu put down the Divine Flute and softly called Zoroa's name.
"Zoroa."
"Huh?" Soraya jumped off the edge of the boat and looked at Xu Qiansu curiously, his fluffy and cute tail swaying slightly.
The light boat set off waves of ripples.
"..." Xu Qiansu was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Our journey ends here."
Soraya's tail stopped wagging, and her big golden eyes looked at Xu Qiansu. What kind of expression did that look like?
Xu Qiansu once again thought of the kitten chasing the bicycle.
Xu Qiansu opened his mouth and was about to say something, but his vision went dark. He felt as if his soul was about to be ripped out... But he held back.
He gently rubbed his eyebrows, and when his vision returned to normal, he saw that Zoroa was already lying on his lap, raising his little face and looking at him worriedly, and then stretched out his little tongue and gently licked Xu Qiansu's lips. Side face.
Xu Qiansu couldn't help but stretched out her hand and caressed Soraya's back...but his hand passed directly through Soraya's back...
"Oh!" Soraya fell from Xu Qiansu's lap and fell on the boat with a soft sound. She quickly stepped back, then stretched out her little paw, pressed Xu Qiansu's hand... and passed through again. .
"Well..." Soraya raised his cute little face and looked at Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu looked at her.
The moonlight falls, the stars and rivers shine brightly, the lake shore is silent, and the boat sails with the wind.
Xu Qiansu guessed right. He only had one month...
Now, it's time to say goodbye.
"Although Cattleya covered me up very well, how could I not be clear about my body..." Xu Qiansu whispered, "I am the same as she was back then. I am just a spiritual body... My The body should have been brought back to modern times by her."
"This month is the time she gave us."
"Well..." Soraya didn't understand, and she didn't want to hear this. She looked at Xu Qiansu and kept walking around with her short legs, anxiously circling him, but she didn't dare to touch him at all.
Xu Qiansu smiled softly, and the feeling of his soul being stripped away became more and more serious... This was the deadline set by Cattleya, and it was time for his soul to return to his body.
Otherwise, he will definitely end up in a state of complete disarray.
This is Cattleya's plan to give Xu Qiansu time to say goodbye and not to let him make a deal with Arceus...
That 'one' is one month.
"Soraya, have I done anything good to you now?" Xu Qiansu couldn't help but ask.
Zoroa looked up at him.
"Do you feel happy when you meet me?"
Is Soraya happy? No one knows except Soraya.
Ever since she met Xu Qiansu, Xu Qiansu had always taken care of her and protected her. She had never let her participate in a battle or endured hard training... When Xu Qiansu was assassinated, Soraya was not allowed to take action. Xu Qiansu and Chi During the fight between Japan and Japan, Soraya never let him interfere. Soraya didn't even know that when Xu Qiansu and Cattleya were about to return to modern times, Xu Qiansu returned to Xicui again for her...
Soraya knew nothing, and Xu Qiansu told her nothing... Xu Qiansu had done everything he could for Soraya.
"Zoroa, in your opinion, as your trainer, have I succeeded?"
Big tears rolled down from the corners of Soraya's eyes. She didn't understand, nor did she understand why she couldn't touch Xu Qiansu, why Xu Qiansu left, and why their journey was over.
Soraya really doesn't understand.
"Soraya...finally, can you promise me one more thing?" Xu Qiansu stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to touch Soraya, but it was no longer possible for them to contact her, so she had to give up.
The cold moonlight passed through Xu Qiansu's body and shone on Zoroa's big golden eyes.
"Well……"
"I haven't done anything for you yet...but Soraya...don't forget me."
As soon as the words fell, Xu Qiansu's figure completely disappeared from Soraya's sight.
boom.
The flute of the God, tied with a red thread, fell weakly onto the canoe, making a soft sound.
The magical stone slab was placed calmly beside the boat, reflecting the cool moonlight.
Zoroa's Poké Ball rolled down the slope of the ship's hull several times and rested against Zoroa's paw.
"Hmm..." Zoroa stretched out his little paw and held down the elf ball, as if he wanted to use the elf ball to take himself back...
But at this moment, no one will pick up this elf ball, just like at this moment, no one will hold her in his arms, patiently teach her to read, and gently stroke her fur.
Soraya raised his little face and looked in the direction where Xu Qiansu was sitting just now, and then suddenly fell on the boat in pain.
"Uh-" She rolled on the ground in pain, and the fur around her body seemed to be lifted up by a mysterious force, floated in the air, and then covered her body.
Wow————
The surface of the lake ripples, and the boat pulls to the shore with the wind.
A handsome young man wearing a white robe, with a white jade-like flute tied around his waist, slowly stepped ashore.
The young man looked up in confusion. In the night, a man in black robes stood on the shore, looking at him silently.
The man in black robe opened his robe, and his figure immediately changed, turning into... Zoroark.
"Mom..." The young man looked at Zoroark, his handsome face full of tears, but more importantly, he was puzzled, confused, and at a loss.
He turned his back to the boat under the cold moonlight and stood there for a while, then took steps and walked forward.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a young man with exactly the same face on the boat, looking at him softly.
Zoroa looked back...the boat was just a boat, nothing.
