Among the deep and shallow green, the bright red was as dazzling as blood, and Xiaoye's heart almost instantly rose.
At this time, the Big Bird had just taken off and was not far from the ground. Without thinking, Xiaoye turned over and jumped down. Her body suddenly disappeared among the lush branches and leaves, which startled the big bird. It flapped its wings hurriedly to keep up with its trainer.
The moment Xiao Ye landed, the power of the waveguide had already enveloped the unconscious young man. The unexpected steady breath of life made her slightly relieved, and she quickly walked closer to take a closer look at his appearance.
Aaron fell face down in a dead leaf. There were no injuries on his body, and his bright red vest was only stained with some mud and weeds. He looked like he was sleeping soundly. It wasn't until she reached her side that Xiaoye noticed something strange - there was a layer of mottled frost on the surface of his clothes, and there were crystal boulders hanging from the ends of his hair.
In the southern country where the summer is hot, this is really unusual.
Xiao Ye tentatively touched the frost marks on the surface of the fabric. The thin layer of ice crystals melted quickly when it came into contact with the warm human skin, leaving only a piece of moisture.
After being pushed a few times, Aaron quickly woke up and looked around confusedly, as if he still didn't understand where he was. Xiaoye saw that his expression was normal and did not look like he was injured, so she bent down slightly and stretched out her hand to him, "Are you okay?"
The young trainer from the southern country was pulled to his feet in a daze. A few seconds later, the touch of the slightly cold Poké Ball in his arms awakened all the memories. He jumped up with a "ouch", which scared the big bird and almost instinctively threw a dozen small whirlwinds.
"My Miss Lip Baby!" Aaron grabbed Xiao Ye in a hurry, not even thinking about why the stranger who had met in front of the medicine house appeared here, and asked hurriedly, "We must hurry up. It's delivered to the Pokémon Center...which way is the town?"
The Poké Ball held tightly in her arms made Xiaoye quickly understand the situation. She gestured to the big bird, and the golden bird understood immediately, picked up the dizzy Alon and threw it on his back, took off in the dusk sky, and galloped away in the direction of Bailang Town.
In order for Aaron to take the Labyrinth to the Pokémon Center as quickly as possible, Xiaoye did not ride on the Big Bird together, but summoned Charizard to follow him.
In terms of flight speed, the fire-breathing dragon was far inferior to the birds, and was quickly swept away. When one person and one dragon landed in the bustling Trainer Plaza, Dabi Bird, who had already arrived at the station, was slowly preening his feathers in the corner, while the boy in a red vest squatted at the door of the Pokémon Center, looking uncertain.
The sound of the Charizard landing made Aaron raise his head as if he was aware of it. After seeing Xiao Ye, he immediately waved his arm vigorously, "Thank you for just now, Xiao Ye!"
Xiaoye raised her hand to take back the two Pokémon and walked forward, "How is the situation?"
"Miss Joy is helping to check, and she said the problem is not serious, so don't worry too much." Aaron scratched his head and smiled with his white teeth, probably feeling embarrassed by his panicked look just now.
"That's good." Xiaoye looked at the messy branches and leaves between his hair and asked curiously, "Why did you fall asleep in that place?"
"I'm not asleep." The young trainer's eyes widened, "Listen to me, something terrible happened to me!"
Aaron told Xiao Ye about his experience like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and he spoke vividly and danced with joy. The listener's expression was gradually occupied by question marks under the baptism of bizarre stories. He took advantage of Aaron's break to drink water and summarized his story, concisely yet confusedly asking: "In other words, you and Mi Chuanwa are together." While searching for stinging jellyfish along the river, you suddenly encounter a blizzard that is so strong that you can't see the road. At this time, the little lip baby suddenly collapses as if it has a sudden illness. You want to take it out of the blizzard to see a doctor. …”
The young man nodded repeatedly and made a gesture of "You are so right", "Then I fell asleep for no reason until you pushed me awake."
Xiaoye: "...Anyway, I don't think there will be snowstorms along the Bailang River in summer?"
Alon, a local, corrected him seriously, "Hey, we are in the tropics here. Not to mention summer, there are no snowstorms in winter."
Night:"……"
Seeing Aaron's sincere look, Xiaoye began to seriously doubt the probability that he had fallen into the Pokémon's illusion. Although there were indeed traces of frost on his clothes, it was more serious than encountering a magical event. In the summer blizzard, it sounds more realistic to be knocked down by a Pokémon's illusion and then take a breath of air to vent your anger.
Probably because the two people squatting like mushrooms next to the Pokémon Center were a little conspicuous, the drug store owner Shimura quickly spotted them.
The familiar face made Aaron suddenly realize something. In order to avoid staying out at night and being beaten to a pulp by his mother, he tremblingly grabbed Shimura and recounted all his experiences after going up the mountain to prove that he had not forgotten the agreement, but was unable to escape due to an accident, and Trying to persuade Shimura to help him intercede with his mother - but the young pharmacy owner was silent for a moment after listening to Alon's words, and two question marks popped up lively on his usually serious face.
Fortunately, the ringtone from the Pokémon Center relieved the awkward atmosphere in time. Aaron jumped up when he heard the notification tone, rushed into the house, and came out not long after holding the Labyrinth baby in his arms.
The little ice Pokémon fell asleep in the boy's arms. Aaron seemed to have completely calmed down, and relayed Miss Joy's words to Xiaoye and Shimura - the Mizui baby was not injured or sick, but was just a little tired, and might have accidentally inhaled hypnotic powder, so she had been sleeping. Not awake. If you want to wake it up, just use some sleeping pills.
"Do I need to go to the store to get medicine?" Shimura pointed to the medicine shop nearby.
"No need. Mi Chuan is very tired after following me up the mountain all day. Let her have a good rest." Aaron shook his head, then raised his head and looked at the medicine store owner longingly, "Brother Shimura, take him in first." I'll be okay for a while? If I go back like this, I'm afraid my mother will eat me alive...hiss, I get chills all over just thinking about it."
The boy said, making himself shiver with fright.
Xiaoye was originally walking outside and was following the two of them to wander towards the medicine house. She accidentally caught a glimpse of coldness in her peripheral vision - at some point, the coldness had gradually spread around Mi Chuan's body, quietly covering Aaron's arms with a layer of frost.
An ominous premonition suddenly rose from the bottom of my heart. Xiao Ye was about to issue a warning when she suddenly saw a strange colored light seeping out from the Mi Lun Baby's body, followed by a violent cold wind, and the unsuspecting Aaron and Shimura were blown away.
People passing by screamed in panic, thinking that someone's Pokémon had gone crazy, and hurriedly backed away. Before the two people who bore the brunt hit the wall, a pair of hands held their backs firmly.
Aaron was blown so much that he rolled around three times. He yelled "What's going on" and reluctantly opened his eyes in the wind——
Immediately, he was stunned by the incredible sight in front of him.
Like the tentacles of a monster, sharp ice edges slowly stretched out from the back of Mi Lun Baby. The sound was like bones cracking, causing eardrums to sting.
The ice edge twisted twice at a weird angle, and the end pierced into the supposedly hard stone road of the trainer's square, looking like a ferocious giant spider. The Pokémon's small figure had already been wrapped in a layer of ice shell, turning into the torso of a shining "spider".
Aaron could hardly believe his eyes. He was in a trance and wanted to call Mi Chuan's name, but before he could open his mouth, he was pushed hard.
"Why are you dazed? Run!" Shimura was so anxious that he grabbed the boy's collar and ran a few steps.
The giant spider's body shook a few times, and suddenly it waved its sharp tentacles without any control. Everywhere the cold air passes is covered with frost and snow, and the splashed ice fragments collide with the rocky ground, creating incredible crystal clear ice flowers blooming on the tropical island in summer.
The sudden change plunged the Trainer Square into chaos. People fled in all directions, and there were also young trainers who hurriedly sent out Pokémon to attack the suspected out-of-control Mysteria. The twisted ice monster's movements were unimaginable. Its sharp tentacles pierced the shadow ball straight through, and it was about to turn the Pokémon and its trainer into candied haws.
The next second, Charizard came riding on the hot wind and directly collided with the attacked person and Pokémon, knocking them out of Ice Edge's attack range. The trainer on the back of the fire-breathing dragon didn't seem to feel dizzy at all from the impact. He simply said "stay away" and then immediately moved away like a fireball, relieving the next endangered passerby.
The reckless southern young man was almost frightened to tears. How could he dare to approach easily again? He quickly called to his friends to stay away and hide in a safe place to call the police.
As the owner of the Lost Lip Baby, Aaron felt anxiety, confusion and fear mingling in his mind, making it almost impossible for him to think normally. After getting no response no matter how he called, he subconsciously reached for his hand to his waist. Before he could touch the Poké Ball, he was frightened by Shimura's scolding voice.
"If you want to die, you can go ahead and try!"
The young man looked gloomy and struggled to drag Aaron around the debris on the street to hide and hide. He finally managed to stay away from the giant spider wrapped in the cold air and was not stung by those dangerous tentacles.
Although Shimura is not a trainer, he has opened a medicine shop next to the Pokémon Center for many years, and he has enough judgment on the strength of Pokémon. He could tell almost at a glance that this out-of-control Mysteria, an ice monster in the form of a spider, was not something that a new trainer could handle. Before the police arrived, running away was the only thing they needed to do.
Just as the thought flashed across his mind, a huge crash suddenly exploded close at hand, causing Aaron to almost fall to the ground. The pharmacy owner quickly grabbed a handful of him, then turned around and was shocked to see that the tentacles made of solid ice had spread and stretched out like water at some point, almost touching the corners of his clothes - they came from high altitude. The impact prevented the tentacles from moving.
The ice edge that had withstood the collision was tilted aside, and the fire-breathing dragon's fists were still wrapped in flames. The fiery orange dispelled the night and illuminated the calm eyes of the trainer on its back.
Shimura originally thought that Xiaoye released the fire-breathing dragon to escape quickly, but when he suddenly saw this scene, he was so shocked that he almost lost his breath.
The people in the square have long been far away from the danger zone, and the roaring flame dragon in the night sky has become the monster's only target. He watched as the spider's ferocious tentacles trembled again, raised them one after another, and stabbed at the bright color in the air.
Dense ice edges blocked almost all angles. Amid people's exclamations, the trainer riding the fire-breathing dragon made an incredible move - she jumped into the air in a completely different direction, and her white clothes suddenly disappeared into the dim night.
The sudden "split" goal stopped the tentacles' actions for a moment. At this moment, the fire-breathing dragon activated the charged flame attack, and the flames pushed it to accelerate violently, quickly bypassing the circle of tentacles; and the fallen trainer tapped the eaves with his feet, silently stabbing the ice edge. Leave it behind.
"The big characters are Explosive Flame."
The command fell, and scorching flames fell from the sky, instantly submerging the ice monster in a sea of fire.
As we all know, ice Pokémon are most afraid of fire. Seeing this scene, there were already thin cheers coming from the distance. Xiao Ye briefly stopped on the roof, the power of the waveguide firmly locking every move of the creature in the sea of fire.
The swaying firelight reflected in the clear purple eyes, and the glimmer of cold light was not missed either. Xiao Ye suddenly realized something, and immediately issued the command of "Charged Flame Attack", but it was still a step too late.
The tentacle-like ice edge suddenly stretched and popped straight upward. Its speed was so fast that the fire-breathing dragon that was about to take off failed to get out of the way and was stabbed on its wing.
The blood was frozen into ice the moment it spilled out, and even the pain was delayed. Before Charizard could howl, he was hit by a decisive red light and carried back to the elf ball.
In silence, the flames dissipated.
The spider-shaped monster twisted its body. Standing on the roof, Xiao Ye had an invisibly numb feeling of being watched - even though the Mizui baby wrapped in ice in the center clearly had her eyes closed.
After suffering the baptism of high temperature, the tentacles made of solid ice showed no sign of melting.
——Just like what she had seen by the Bailang River.
