[Xiaoye: Have you ever heard of ice that won’t be melted by fire? 】
The group chat interface called "Four Elders of Dawn" is always filled with all kinds of whimsical ideas of the golden retriever brothers and sisters. Xiaoye's speech was blended in without any sense of disobedience, almost blending in with the gossip about "the nameless valley that continued to burn for thirty days" and "hordes of pink Bulbasaur" and other unknown truths, successfully. It adds an air of unreliability to this group.
Ten o'clock at night is the time when young people end their day's journey and lie comfortably in bed playing with their mobile phones. As soon as Xiaoye said this, the two chat lovers were shocked - in fact, Xiaoye rarely participated in such whimsical topics. Apart from daily chats, she only occasionally shared a few photos from the trip. Her boring level was second only to Tiantian. Captain Xiaotian who threw a tactical analysis link into the group.
[Xiaoling: Wow Xiaoye! Have you finally noticed the charm of the unknown and want to become our comrade-in-arms? [Various Star Eyes.jpg]]
[Xiaojie: That’s a good question, my friend! I’m not boasting, I’m a professional in this area! 】
[Xiaojie: [Web link][Web link][Web link]]
[Xiaojie: Do you want the ice island in the center of the Honglian volcanic magma lake, the ice caps floating in the tropical ocean, or the never-melting glaciers in the Guyana rainforest? [Proud.jpg]]
【Night:……】
[Xiao Ye: [Pichu is sluggish.jpg]]
Xiaoye, who was holding the mobile phone, turned her head slowly without saying anything, and looked at Alon next to her. The young man was expecting Xiaoye's friend to give some useful information. Seeing this, he suddenly showed the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his mobile phone.
Aaron: (Hesitating) "Well, although I don't quite understand what he posted, I don't think that's the case..."
Xiaoye: (hesitating) "I feel the same..."
Along the way, the two of them had talked a lot about this topic, but they couldn't get a clue.
"Ice-free", a commonly used item in Pokémon battles, was the first guess that popped up. However, non-melting ice can only isolate heat to a certain extent and increase the power of ice-based moves. If you throw it directly into the flames, it will still turn into a puddle of water. In comparison, the ice created by the Mad Lip Baby when it goes crazy - or the ice that freezes the stinging jellyfish, has an extremely low temperature, and the signs of melting after contact with flames are also negligible. It is really beyond the age of two decades. Cognition of newcomers.
"I always feel like Miss Joey knows something." A group of policemen muttered and exchanged glances around Joey, which seemed like they were exchanging mysterious inside stories. Aaron, who was very curious, was worried about this, "It's a pity. They won’t tell us…Hey, there’s a new reply.”
Xiao Ye followed Aaron's line of sight and looked at the phone screen, and sure enough she saw the most reliable person in the group appearing at the bottom of the window with a familiar Charmander head.
[Xiaotian: I think of two possibilities. One is "Absolute Zero". If this move is used by a powerful Pokémon, it may create ice that is difficult to melt with fire. There are news reports that it took a week for the ice edges left behind by the Frozen Birds to completely disappear. [Web links]】
[Xiaotian: Another possibility is that he is an esper of the Himi family. When their emotions are intense, they can create extremely cold ice, similar to the effect of absolute zero. Currently the strongest esper in the Hyomi family, Admiral Auston of Hoenn, once froze the criminal's Pokémon in place for a day and night. 】
After reading the somewhat lengthy paragraph, Xiaoye and Alon both looked thoughtful.
"I seem to understand a little bit." Aaron rolled his eyes, "Although the Mystical Lip Baby cannot be at Absolute Zero, other ice-type moves might be able to achieve the same effect as long as they are strong enough?"
As for why the Mysterious Baby would use such a powerful move when it goes crazy - it is common for Pokémon to go berserk and be more destructive than usual. Aaron even read news about an angry Charmander causing a wildfire on his own. Therefore, I didn’t think deeply about whether the degree of “strengthening” of Mi Chuanba was consistent with common sense.
"Maybe." Xiaoye nodded thoughtfully and typed a reply.
[Xiaoye: I see, I learned from it. Thanks! 】
[Xiaojie: Hey, captain... Although the amount of knowledge like an encyclopedia is very powerful, your replies are really unrealistic. [Dumbledore shakes his head.jpg]]
[Xiaojie: But Xiaoye, why do you think of asking this? 】
[Xiao Ling: Hahaha, could it be that after defeating the Flame Bird, you encountered another high-level ice boss? Another piece of news by the way? 】
[Xiaojie: Pfft, there’s no such thing as a coincidence. 】
【Night:…………】
Facing Aaron's admiring gaze of "Are all your friends prophets?", Xiaoye's face was blank and she slowly typed out an emoticon.
【Saya: Σ(ﾟдﾟllll)】
The group chat window was silent for more than ten seconds.
【Xiao Tian:? 】
[Xiaoling:...No, it can’t be? 】
[Xiaoye: It’s not a big deal... If you are interested, you can watch the video in the link? [Web links]】
After flicking the link to the news report in one go, Xiaoye felt relieved as if she had completed a task.
Since I took the initiative to file the report and did not deliberately conceal the report, the vague little fight in the video is certainly nothing - there is no need to compare it with the experience during the Artificial Phoenix King Project, "beating up the ice spider" is not even as good as the special training During this period, she and Mr. Xinghai fought each other fiercely.
Xiaoye put the phone back into her pocket with peace of mind, held the sleepy little Pichu in her hands, and returned to the Trainer Square with Alon.
It was already dark, and most of the crowd that originally gathered in the square had dispersed, leaving only a few worried children who lingered and refused to leave. It wasn't until they saw the two "arrested" people returning safely that the last group of onlookers dispersed with confidence.
At this moment, the Trainer Square was in a mess. The floor tiles were lifted and soil was scattered everywhere. Wood chips and gravel were everywhere. At first glance, it looked like a construction site. Two policemen were taking photos of damaged objects—judging from the scope of the fighting, they might have to work late into the night.
The young pharmacy owner was sorting out the overturned flower pots in front of the door. He raised his hand and said hello.
"How was it?" he asked simply.
Aaron was previously thinking about the body of the Mysterious Baby and didn't have time to pay attention to his surroundings. Now he looked around at the demolition site made by his Pokémon and felt his scalp was numb. He stuttered and said: "I think...my... The identity of the trainer is in jeopardy..."
The boy told Shimura roughly about his experience at the police station - the police were still investigating the origin and course of the incident and did not immediately announce the punishment. With his past trouble-making experience, Aaron knew that the fine was almost certain, and he was mentally prepared to be detained for education. His only hope was to keep his trainer's license from being revoked.
While they were talking, Xiaoye glanced at the door of the medicine house.
The remaining ice and dust from the fight have been cleaned up. The gray-blue rock Pokémon returned to its original position, still facing south persistently and motionless. At a certain moment, Xiao Ye had a vague illusion that she was meeting her eyes - but when she looked carefully, she still had her eyes drooped, showing no reaction to the sounds and lights of the outside world.
"There's something I have to remind you." A few minutes later, Shimura interrupted Aaron's rambling "remarks on entering the game" and said, "Your mother has called me three times."
"!?"
The boy froze immediately. Staying out all night, sleeping in a haystack on the mountain, missing all contacts due to the battery of his mobile phone, and the Mystic Baby making a scene in the Trainer Square - this series of pranks stacked together made Aaron deeply aware of pushback. The moment you open the door of your home, you may die.
In order to prevent himself from dying even more, Aron hurriedly said goodbye to the two of them and ran away home. Xiao Ye silently sighed that her running speed was even more amazing than the lightning flash of a forest lizard. She raised her head and looked at the person next to her, "Mr. Shimura, I won't bother you anymore..."
"Wait a minute." Shimura said.
Xiaoye was stunned for a moment. Facing the always serious face of the pharmacy owner, she suddenly recalled something important.
The feeling of the scythe being broken into pieces in his hand was still clearly discernible, and guilt and embarrassment suddenly came over him. She quickly stood up at attention and said loudly and resolutely: "I'm sorry, I will compensate you!"
"What?" Shimura was about to open the door and let Xiao Ye into the house, but when he heard this, his head was filled with questions.
"Please tell me the price of that sickle. Or tell me the brand and I will buy a new one and return it to you?"
Shimura: "..."
The young man's expression gradually changed from blank to speechless. He recalled that the young people in the Orange Islands often complained about "Kanto people's etiquette is unbelievable" on the Internet. He sincerely wanted to open his mobile phone and leave an "agree" comment right now - -At least he, as a rare "heteronor" among southerners who is not bold enough in temperament, cannot imagine what a terrible social norm it is to have to pay sickle compensation after doing something brave.
Xiaoye observed the change in the drug store owner's expression, and his expression gradually became uneasy, "Is it expensive...?"
"...No, that's not what I meant."
Shimura decided not to think about the huge gap between regional concepts for the time being, beckoned Saya to enter the room, and threw a palm-sized object over, "Here."
Xiao Ye quickly reached out to pick it up - it seemed to be a small jar containing ointment.
"Frostbite medicine." The young man thought for a moment, and then added seriously according to the thinking mode of the Kanto people he just learned, "This is your thank you gift for protecting this medicine house."
After hearing this, the trainer from Kanto accepted the frostbite medicine obediently and did not say anything like "How much does this medicine cost, I will pay for it now", which made the southern shop owner secretly relieved. .
Xiao Ye thanked her and looked at her right hand.
In order to destroy the ice without hurting the MILF, ripple resonance is undoubtedly the best choice. It's just that injecting the power of the waveguide into an object requires direct contact with it. Human's fragile skin will inevitably be frostbitten by low-temperature ice edges. Her palms were already red and swollen, and the tingling sensation was as dense as needle pricks, causing discomfort. Fortunately, Xiaoye's movements were always fast enough, and a brief contact would not cause substantial damage, even if she left it alone. Healed quickly.
"Did you come to this town to participate in the Snow Battle?" Shimura asked casually, as if chatting.
"Yes." Xiaoye nodded.
The start time of the Snowstorm Battle is August 9th, there are still two days left.
Thoughts flashed through and soon turned into decisions. The owner of the medicine house looked at the young trainer from Kanto in front of him, "If you are free tomorrow, can you come over?"
"I have a job I want to entrust to you."
By the time Xiaoye walked out of the medicine house, the crescent moon had already risen into the sky, quietly shining on the silent circular square.
Pichu was already so sleepy that he fell into a trance in his trainer's hood and made no movement. He didn't know if he fell asleep. Xiaoye didn't waste any more time. After leaving the Pokémon she had trained hard all day to Miss Joy's care, she returned to her room to get ready for some rest.
Before falling asleep, she turned on her phone and took a look at the group chat - and sure enough, the friends who had watched the news no longer said harsh words such as "This is bad for our friendship", and they all laughed and laughed at her for becoming a celebrity. News headlines from news professionals and third-rate tabloids greatly affect the style of Dawn members.
The blurry picture quality hides the most chilling anomalies of the ice monster. From a distance, it is just a long-legged ice sculpture with teeth and claws, and it even looks a bit funny. Not to mention the battle scene - the video did not capture the injured front half of Charizard. It looked like the trainer and her Pokémon were pushing the spider to the ground and beating it violently. There was no sense of danger in the visual effect.
Probably such simple news could not attract the attention of the golden retriever brothers and sisters for long, and the topic of the chat soon turned to all kinds of strange stories. Xiaoye briefly browsed through the chat history and saw that Xiaotian had posted a link to an article before the topic changed, saying it was a supplement to his previous guess.
She clicked on the link and was stunned when she looked at the title of the article.
[Exploring the "Blank Era of Glory": The Legend of Ice, Fire and Thunder]
====================
…
As we all know, our civilization's detailed historical records began in the first year of the Elven Calendar. The ancient documents before this are incomplete, among which the hundred years near the first year of the Elven Calendar are the most mysterious, and are written as the "Blank Years" in history books.
But for scholars who study Ubo hieroglyphs, it also has another name——
"The Glorious Era".
No one who studies history can resist its charm. It is magnificent and dazzling, war-torn yet full of life. Some people think that this is a chaotic world where hundreds of countries are fighting, and a hell of disputes between mythical beasts; others think that this is a united front between people, people and Pokémon, and countries, to jointly fight against enemies from foreign lands. It has left us countless legacies: mysterious texts, starry ruins, magical and incredible skills, and magnificent legends.
In the obscure legends written in Ubo hieroglyphics, in the imaginative pictures and the legacy of uncanny craftsmanship, these words often appear together.
Ice that never melts, fire that never goes out, thunder that never ceases.
We all know that the Glorious Era was an era when the worship of mythical beasts and nature worship was prevalent. Even the Ubai hieroglyphics were a religious writing system at that time, and were also known as the "gods' language" - as the name suggests, it means "beloved by the gods" The language of the favored one.” The special social and historical background gave birth to countless ancient legends that are unimaginable to modern people. In these stories, either fictional or documentary, everything in nature is a common element, but they appear repeatedly in the same combination and the same descriptive terms. There are very few natural elements in different stories.
Regarding the countless obscure legends of the Glorious Era, Professor Shang Zong’s pioneering research shows...
...To sum up, we can draw a conclusion.
"Ice, fire and thunder" are by no means a coincidence that people in ancient times said in unison, nor are they simply metaphors for natural phenomena or mythical beasts in this world. Many existing studies and analyzes point to the same possibility——
They were closely related to human life, society and country at that time, and were an important part of the huge legend system of the Glorious Era - or in other words, the real history of the Glorious Era that was annihilated in the flames of war.
If we want to further explore the secrets of the blank era and uncover a corner of that magnificent epic, perhaps we should lock in a new starting angle.
For example, the Himi family is an ancient family that has been living on the towering snow-capped mountains since thousands of years ago.
