The wind howled.
The dazzling golden light made it almost difficult to see, and the trainer could only see a blurry shadow in front of him. The anxious call was torn apart by the wind, leaving only a trace of sound that penetrated through the turbulent currents and penetrated into the ears, but the birds still turned a deaf ear.
Xiao Ye vaguely saw her partner's figure glowing - it was different from the arrogant colors that destroyed the light, nor the faint light that intertwined with wind and thunder. It is covered with a jade-like brilliance that seems to ooze from the inside out, piercing through solid rock and dust like a sharp arrow, turning the light that symbolizes death invisible.
The huge recoil force made it difficult for the Pangyan Monster to move for a while, so he had to cautiously suspend his offensive and confront the uninvited guest who entered the game midway. But the big bird has landed in front of the human beings, spreading its wings in an intimidating manner without fear.
"...Dabi Bird?"
"..."
The bird Pokémon heard the confusion and disapproval in Xiaoye's tone. Before they split up, the worried look of the trainer flashed through his mind, making the big bird feel guilty. He subconsciously turned the bird's head, not daring to look at the person.
Xiaoye saw her partner with his neck raised and motionless like a wooden bird, and the speechless feeling came over him with a hint of amusement, and the questions he wanted to say were also washed away.
Only now did she finally have time to take a closer look at the Pokémon's appearance.
The fading light flows on the ends of the feathers, making the big bird look majestic. Before, it was obviously weak from the poison, but now it is full of energy and lively, as if it can kick three giant rock monsters at any time, which makes the bird look majestic. Xiaoye couldn't help but start to think about what special medicine the staff at the Ginkgo Field had given it.
Human hands gently touched the bird's broad wings. The pale white light swirls along the texture of the feathers. The moment it touches the fingertips, it is like water droplets falling into a clear spring, creating invisible ripples in the heart.
Before they could think about it carefully, the Pangyan monster roared again.
The most impatient Mantle Rock could no longer hold back, waving his arms and throwing rocks at the intruders. The Pangyan monster's attack followed closely, and the sharp rocks turned into arrows, shining with a cold light that was almost metallic.
Xiaoye jumped onto the bird's back without thinking. The tired Riolu and Cady Dog followed the red light back to the Poké Ball, and the next moment the birds soared into the sky with their cries, rising to a height that was beyond the reach of the rocks.
The trainer's calm gaze looked down from top to bottom, taking in a panoramic view of the location of every Pokémon in the crystal valley.
She patted her partner's back gently. The air flow began to accelerate restlessly, and the jumping arcs and human instructions fell at the same time.
"Storm Realm!"
The moment the airflow began to swirl, the sky darkened.
The sky shook and the earth shook, the wind stirred and the lightning struck. A hurricane carrying thunder struck the mountains and completely enveloped the small Crystal Valley. The afternoon sun was clearly shining brightly, but the swirling sand and dust obscured the valley, making it as if dark clouds were covering the sky, making it difficult to breathe.
The hard-bodied Pangyan Monster didn't take the sandstorm seriously and threw rocks into the air. The big bird's wings fluttered lightly, and its body disappeared silently into the dust and mist. It was replaced by the same bright color as its feathers - the jumping golden color connected with the stone bullets, and the sparks suddenly lit up with the explosion. It crackled like miniature lightning. The already cavernous Crystal Valley seemed to have been hit by more than a dozen flash bombs. Even the Pangyan monsters who had lived here for a long time could not withstand such a surprise attack. They only felt that their eyes were filled with white, and they could not even distinguish where the heaven and the earth were.
The violent airflow came together with the wind blade, carving scars on the rock Pokémon's body. The flying-type moves that were dismissed in the past suddenly turned into sharp blades that brought pain. The big guys were at a loss and threw rocks randomly in fear and anger. By the time the sharp wind was approaching from behind, the leader of the Pangyan Monster had already missed the opportunity to attack and had only time to put its glowing arms across its body. But a strange wind blew up from the soles of its feet strangely, and the Rock Pokémon's center of gravity swayed unsteadily, forcing its defenseless torso to be exposed.
"Steel Wings!"
The slender wings were covered with indestructible steel energy, and they launched a powerful blow amidst the rapid wind and thunder. The majestic impact directly knocked the Pangyan monster to the ground, and the beautiful crystal stone edges behind it were smashed. The flying fragments even affected the fire-breathing dragon in the deepest part, causing the big guy to scream in pain.
The red-eyed Pangyan monsters immediately surrounded him, and the chaotic flying rocks poured down like a torrential rain. But Dabi Bird was not willing to fight, and disappeared into the storm again in a flash.
Xiaoye sat firmly on the back of the big bird, calmly observing everything below.
Although the leader was completely defeated by the steel wing that struck the vital point, the Pangyan monster group did not lose their position due to this. They seemed to know that the target of the intruder was the fire-breathing dragon in the crystal cage, and endured the pain of the wind blade to protect it tightly without revealing any flaws. Charizard knew he had become a burden, and for a moment he was filled with grief and anger. He howled so darkly that the mountains and rivers were filled with darkness, and even the airflow in the storm field had to give way. With Dabitiao's endurance, he couldn't help but stare sharply and began to think about the possibility of stuffing the wind ball into the dragon's mouth.
There is no doubt that in such a narrow valley, the fire-breathing dragon that wants to approach the end from the air can only defeat the Pangyan monsters and mantle rocks that are blocking it one by one. For flying Pokémon who are more adept at guerrilla warfare, this is an almost impossible task.
If there could be "another route"...
Before his thoughts could settle down, there was a sudden roar from inside the valley.
The crystal-covered earth cracked and collapsed, and a high-speed rotating gray shadow flew out from the ground, rushing like a cannonball toward the stone edges that restrained the fire-breathing dragon. The momentum comparable to the ultimate impact smashed the rock into pieces, shooting straight into the sky like a drill, and even holes were drilled into the rock walls surrounding the valley.
Charizard was stunned for a few seconds before belatedly realizing that the cage that trapped it had disappeared. Confusion and joy flashed by, instantly transforming into a high fighting spirit.
"Hooooooh-"
The flame dragon looked up to the sky and spit out blazing flames, which reflected the crystal earth red. The strong and powerful dragon wings stirred up scalding wind with just a slight vibration. Even the Pangyan Monster, who was not afraid of the high temperature, was forced back by the heat wave.
In the flickering light of the crystal rock, Xiao Ye vaguely felt something.
Like a call thousands of miles away, yet seemingly close at hand - the fire-breathing dragon's anger and fighting spirit are like scorching lava, flowing into the trainer's heart without any hindrance, merging the determination of both parties into one. The flames at the tip of the tail rose fiercely, waiting for the trainer to issue the familiar command.
"Charizard……"
"——Stop it!!"
The sound amplified by the loudspeaker rumbled throughout the valley. The ravaged earth collapsed again, and a huge metal snake stuck out its head, staring at the group of Pangyan monsters with sadness. When the ferocious stone monsters saw the most feared Steel Pokémon, they all retreated to the corners of the valley in fear, not daring to move rashly.
Seeing the familiar uniform on the human above the big steel snake, Xiao Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
——The patrolman who received the notice finally arrived.
The big steel snake is obviously a skilled worker in maintaining order in the ginkgo field. That hard body that was impervious to water and fire was its most powerful weapon. After carelessly flicking its tail and crushing a stone pillar into powder, no other Pangyan monster dared to come forward to challenge it.
The patrolman sat on top of the giant beast, holding a loudspeaker and shouting at Xiaoye.
"Are you the trainer who called just now? Sorry for being late -"
Xiaoye was disturbed by the loud roar of the Nanguo people and the Nanguo speakers. She quickly signaled the big bird to come down and rest, so as not to fall into chaos and cause a crash. Just as she was about to do as the Romans did, she pulled her neck and thanked the patrolman, when a steaming fire-breathing dragon landed next to her.
"Aww."
Charizard opened his blue eyes wide and cautiously stretched out his head to nuzzle the trainer. Xiaoye immediately took a step back, thus saving her bangs from being scorched by the residual heat of the flames on the big guy's body.
She sighed and was about to speak when her eyes suddenly fell on the object in Charizard's arms - several full-bodied, red Pokémon eggs. Even though it was in a rock cage, it always protected the eggs firmly under its body without letting them get damaged at all.
"So that's it."
Before she could ask, the patrolman jumped down from the head of the big steel snake and walked to the young man.
"Thanks, Brother Fire Dragon. This is the egg of a lava snail, right?"
"Ouch!"
Soon, Xiaoye learned from the patrolman that since the lava snail group migrated to the vicinity of the rock mountain due to the change of address, they have often had conflicts with the giant rock monsters. At first, they were just intimidating each other, but as the breeding season of Pokémon on the Orange Islands came, their tempers became violent and the conflicts intensified, leaving the grassland on the edge of the rocky mountain in a mess. The patrolmen have come forward to mediate this several times, and even the big steel snake is very familiar with it. It can already count the number of stone balls all over the place in three seconds.
And at noon today, several giant rock monsters launched a surprise attack on the group of lava snails and took away the eggs they had just laid. Charizard must have witnessed this scene, so he rushed forward without hesitation and tried to protect the red Pokémon egg. Unfortunately, due to its attributes, it had no chance of winning against the rock Pokémon. The whole dragon He and the egg were dragged back to the valley lair as trophies.
Fortunately, the big guy was stubborn and resistant enough to save the Pokémon egg from being trampled by the angry stone monster.
The unexpected harvest made the patrolman jump for joy, and he began to call Charizard a brother. He even grabbed the medicine from the trainer, claiming that in order to express his gratitude, he had to heal the hero himself. At first, Xiaoye was worried that the Southerners were rough and rough, causing pain and burns to Charizard - but seeing the patrolman being sprayed with flames for more than ten times, he was still energetic, and Charizard seemed to be very angry even after roaring for more than ten times. The trainer He turned his head silently and decided to keep out of sight.
After a dragon flying man jumped over it, the patrolman finally tied up the fire dragon with a bandage, and a satisfied smile appeared on the burnt black face.
Turning around, he saw the trainer looking thoughtfully at the crystal pillar. The patrolman had a thought in his mind and approached mysteriously.
"Child, do you know what we are stepping on?"
He took on the posture of a former part-time tour guide and introduced the ingredients, functions, and atomic structures of crystal ores in a eloquent manner, making the young people who had only studied in elementary school read with eyes full of mosquito repellent incense.
"——To sum up," the patrolman said angrily, "what constitutes this crystal mountain is exactly what we trainers need, the key to super evolution, the raw stone of the 'Key Stone'!"
"what do you mean……"
Xiaoye, who had been fed a lot of knowledge about materials, spoke hesitantly.
"Our Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce sells precious stones such as evolution stones, key stones, and super stones all year round. In order to thank Charizard for his heroic contribution, the original price of 80,000 key stones is only discounted for you, and the current price is only 39,999 Pd! Don't miss this opportunity, don't come again, hurry up--"
Xiaoye lowered her head to look at the sparkling crystals at her feet, looked up at the colorful eyes of the fire-breathing dragon, and then thought about the price of the keystone she had seen in the department store.
The trainer's eyes immediately became serious.
"I'll buy!"
As the day turned westward, the patrolmen settled down the restless wild Pokémon and waved goodbye to the trainers.
After watching the warm-hearted southerners go away, Xiaoye looked at the unplanned large-scale consumption product in her hand - the exquisitely packaged and unopened key stone, and couldn't help but shake her head to herself.
She had no intention of getting involved with Mega Evolution, but Charizard's expectant eyes were too sincere - and the discount offered by the patroller was too sincere, making it difficult for any free trainer to resist this temptation.
As a necessary item for "super evolution" sought after by thousands of trainers, the function of the Key Stone is naturally known to everyone. Even if there is no corresponding Mega Stone and cannot be directly Mega Evolved, the Key Stone can still trigger the spiritual resonance between the trainer and the Pokémon. The stronger the bond, the clearer the resonance of the same mind, and it can even increase the Pokémon's power when the mind and spirit are synchronized. The power of dreams - just like her and Charizard just now.
Then, the arrival of the other guy must be because of...
Xiaoye raised her head and looked at the quiet bird.
"What did you hear?"
The big bird chirped twice and shook its wings towards its trainer. Without Pichu's help, Xiaoye still smoothly understood what her old partner meant.
【You are calling us. 】
【You are calling me. 】
Perhaps the antidote provided by the administrator was effective enough, or perhaps the eagerness to respond to the trainer's voice resonated - in any case, at that moment it gained enough strength to cross the vast wilderness and come to the trainer's side to fight for it. .
Being hit in the face by such a straightforward response, the trainer had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, swallowing back the criticism he had prepared.
"That is to say..."
Xiaoye turned around and looked carefully at the motionless rock Pokémon in the shadows.
Before the big steel snake arrived, it broke into the battlefield from the ground and smashed the cage that bound the fire-breathing dragon with one blow, changing the situation of the battle. It's just that such a warm-hearted behavior was full of dissonance on it, so much so that Xiaoye once thought that the dusty North-nose was just bumping into her temporary partner, but it was actually the patrolman's Pokémon.
"Is this why you're here too?"
He moved his nose toward the north like a stone sculpture, and met the trainer's grateful but confused eyes. It was not good at reading human faces, but even so it could read a line of large characters with a question mark above the head of the purple-haired young man.
Why don't you run?
"..."
"..."
Chaibei Bi woke up from a dream, jumped up and spun around, trying to dig a hole and dive into the ground. But the bright-eyed Kati dog on the side was already prepared. When he saw this, he pushed his head forward and knocked it upside down.
The Rock Pokémon was furious and expertly spat out a string of Pokémon curse words. But the trainer remained calm as usual, and even lifted it up and bumped it - no doubt, this behavior made the curse words louder.
"Anyway, thank you."
As the sun set, the group finally returned to the camp and met up with their companions.
The Pokémon who had been looking for the Fire Dragon all day were so exhausted that when they saw the culprit returning happily with the trainer, their anger and blood pressure soared, and they started a one-sided beating without any explanation. Xiaoye adapted well to this, calmly dodging Gyarados' tail sweep, Ghoststone's claws, and Pichu's electric shock. She set up the stove again in a safe sheltered place and started preparing for today's dinner.
The rays of the setting sun sweep across the land, dyeing the golden fields a warm orange-red color. Riolu leaned not far away, looking longingly at the trainer and the busy orange puppy.
It hesitantly stretched out its paws, picked out a banana from the fruit basket, and tried to imitate human movements to peel it open. It's a pity that the toe palms, which are accustomed to fighting, can't do fine work. If you don't pay attention, the yellow flesh will be flattened into a puddle of soft mud.
"..."
Riolu simply threw the fruit into his mouth and chewed it angrily.
A long time has passed since I followed the footsteps of humans and left the place of my birth. It has been so long that the dangerous forest has been blurred in my memory, and I cannot recall the color of the fallen leaves or the shape of the stream.
Time and time again, it witnessed its admirers step into the battlefield and face powerful enemies; occasionally it could exert some strength, but most of the time it could only serve as a futile spectator. After all, the fists and feet that have been polished day and night have limited growth, and it is difficult to compete with a tall and burly strong man like Charizard; daily meals and rest are all taken care of by reliable humans. Even if you want to help like a new guy, you will only be clumsy. Messing things up - just like that algal root fruit during the day.
As a follower of humans, a partner of trainers...what else can it do?
Just as Riolu fell into a whirlpool of thoughts, the pain of a sudden heavy blow on the tip of his tail made him bounce up. Looking back, I saw the dog had a corner of the tablecloth in its mouth and was looking at it stiffly.
——Obviously, the dog, who was busy making dinner, didn't look at the road carefully and stepped on Riolu's tail.
The puppy's depression suddenly turned into anger. It barked and pounced on the dog, and the dog struggled with it and became a ball of fur.
The trainer sighed skillfully and moved the stove away from the place to protect the ill-fated soup pot. Without the big bird to stop them, the two little guys kept fighting until the afterglow faded and night fell, and then they finally collapsed on the lawn, panting and unable to move.
They stared at each other for a while, then shifted their gazes at the same time, casting their unhappy eyes at the stars in the sky.
The fragrant smell of food slowly spreads into the nose, awakening the puppies' appetite. Riolu heard his stomach growling and quickly turned over to sit up. At this time, its trainer was also looking at the Pokémon with his usual smile.
"Don't forget, you promised me—"
The puppy looked at the human, at the Cady dog next to him, and then at the object hanging on his chest.
After a moment of silence, it raised the bottle of medicine with a sullen face and sprayed it at the dog. The unsuspecting Kati dog was immediately stunned and dumbfounded by the spray. He didn't even have time to worry about his fur getting wet.
Seeing the trainer nodding with satisfaction, Riolu's listless lop ears finally stood up.
It threw the depressed energy and the empty bottle together on the spot and jumped into the bright and bright bonfire.
