No.61 We don't know what the boarders are like
In the deep shade of green, that bit of bright red was as dazzling as blood, and Maya's heart hung almost instantly.
At this time, the bird had just risen into the air, and it was not far from the ground. Without thinking about it, Xiao Ye rolled over and jumped straight down, and his body suddenly sank into the lush foliage, but it startled the big bird, and he was busy flapping his wings to keep up with his trainer.
At the moment when Xiao Ye landed, the power of the waveguide had already enveloped the unconscious teenager. She breathed a sigh of relief from the unexpectedly steady breath of life, and walked quickly to take a closer look at his appearance.
Aron was lying face down in a dead leaf, with no scars on his body, and his bright red vest was stained with only dirt and weeds, and it looked like he was sleeping. It wasn't until he walked to his side that Xiao Ye noticed something unusual—the surface of his clothes was mottled with frost, and the ends of his hair were covered with crystal ice gravel.
In the southern heat of summer, this is too unusual.
Xiao Ye tentatively touched the frost marks on the surface of the fabric. The thin layer of ice crystals melted quickly on contact with the warm skin of humans, leaving only a piece of dampness.
Aaron, who had been pushed a few times, quickly woke up, looking left and right in confusion, as if he had not yet understood where he was. Xiao Ye saw that his expression was as usual, not like he was injured, so he bent down slightly and stretched out his hand to him, "Are you okay?"
The young trainer of the southern country was dragged to his feet in a trance. A few seconds later, the touch of the slightly cold Poké Ball in his arms awakened all the memories, and he jumped up with a "whoosh" in his throat, so frightened that Dabia almost instinctively threw a dozen small whirlwinds.
"My Lost Lips Baby!" Aaron hurriedly grabbed Xiaoye, not thinking about why the stranger who had a relationship in front of the medicine house appeared here, and asked anxiously, "I must send it to the Pokémon Center quickly...... Which way is the town going?"
The Poké Ball held in her arms made Sayo quickly understand the situation. She gestured to the big bird, and the golden bird immediately understood, and directly picked up the dazed Aaron and threw it on his back, took off in the twilight sky, and galloped away in the direction of Bailang Town.
In order to get Aaron to rush to the Pokémon Center with the Lost Lips as soon as possible, Xiao Ya did not ride the Big Bird with him, but summoned Charizard to follow him.
In terms of flight speed, Charizard was far inferior to the birds, and was soon thrown away. When one person and one dragon landed in the lively Trainer's Square, Dabi Bird, who had already arrived at the station, was slowly arranging his feathers in the corner, and the boy in the red vest was squatting at the entrance of the Pokémon Center, looking uncertain.
The sound of Charizard landing made Aaron raise his head as if he was aware of it, and immediately waved his arm vigorously when he saw Xiao Ye, "Thank you just now, Xiao Ye!"
Xiao Ye raised her hand to retrieve the two Pokémon and stepped forward, "How's the situation?"
"Miss Joy is helping to check, saying that it is not a big problem and that there is no need to worry too much. Aaron scratched his head and laughed out with a mouthful of white teeth, probably embarrassed by the panicked way he had just looked.
"That's good. Xiao Ye looked at the mess of branches and leaves between his hair and asked curiously, "Why did you fall asleep in that kind of place?"
"It's not like I'm asleep. The young trainer's eyes widened, "Listen to me, something terrible has happened to me!"
Aaron poured beans into a bamboo tube and told Xiao Ye about his experience, speaking vividly and dancing. The listener's expression was gradually occupied by question marks under the baptism of the bizarre story, and he took advantage of Aaron's drinking to summarize his narration, and asked concisely and blankly: "In other words, when you and the miass were looking for stinger jellyfish along the river, you suddenly encountered a snowstorm so strong that people couldn't see the road clearly. At this time, the miass suddenly collapsed as if she was suddenly sick, and you want to rush out of the snowstorm with it to see the doctor......"
The boy nodded again and again, making a "You're so right" gesture, "And then I fell asleep inexplicably until you woke me up." ”
Xiaoye: "...... Anyway, I don't think there will be a snowstorm on the banks of the Bailang River in the summer?"
Aaron, a local, corrected solemnly, "Hey, we're in the tropics here, don't say anything about summer, and there are no snowstorms in winter." ”
Sayo: "......"
Seeing Aaron's unequivocal sincerity, Xiao Ye began to seriously doubt what the probability of him falling for Pokémon's illusion was - although there were indeed residual frost marks on his clothes, it sounded more realistic than encountering a wonderful summer snowstorm, or being put down by Pokémon's illusion and blowing cold air to vent his anger.
The two people who were probably squatting next to the Pokémon Center like mushrooms were a little conspicuous, and Shimura, the owner of the medicine house, soon spotted them.
The familiar face made Aron suddenly realize something. In order to avoid being beaten into a pie by his mother at night, he shuddered and grabbed Shimura and poured out all his experiences after going up the mountain, as a way to prove that he had not forgotten the agreement, but he had an accident and could not get out, and tried to convince Shimura to help him intercede with his mother - and the young owner of the medicine house was silent for a moment after listening to Aaron's words, and two question marks jumped on his usually serious face lively.
Fortunately, the bells coming from inside the Pokémon Center rescued the embarrassing air in time. Aaron, who heard the prompt, jumped up, rushed into the house, and walked out with the mistressed baby in his arms not long after.
A small ice-type Pokémon fell asleep in the boy's arms. Aaron seems to have completely settled down, and relays Miss Joy's words to Saya and Shimura - the Misty Lip Baby is not injured or sick, but is a little tired, and may have accidentally inhaled the hypnotic powder, which has kept him awake. If you want to wake it up, you just need to use some sleeping pills.
"Do you need to go to the store to get medicine?" Shimura pointed to the medicine shop next to him.
"No, I don't have to. The miasy is also tired from climbing the mountain with me all day, so let it have a good rest. Aaron shook his head, then raised his head and looked at the owner of the medicine store, "Brother Shimura, can you take me in for a while......?" Hey, I feel chills just thinking about it. ”
The boy shuddered, scaring himself.
Xiao Ye was walking on the outside, and was following the two of them to the medicine house. She caught a glimpse of a cold color in her afterglow—at some point, the cold had spread around the Misty Lips' body, quietly covering Aaron's arm with a layer of frost.
An ominous premonition rose from the bottom of my heart. Xiao Ye was about to be reminded when he suddenly saw a strange colored light seeping out from the body of the mi-lip baby, and a violent cold wind followed, and the unsuspecting Aaron and Shimura were directly blown away.
The passers-by let out panicked shouts, thinking that whose Pokémon was crazy, and they hurriedly retreated. And before the two who bore the brunt of the attack hit the wall, a pair of hands held their backs steadily.
Aaron was blown three rolls, shouting "what's going on" while barely opening his eyes in the wind—
Immediately, he was stunned by the unbelievable scene in front of him.
Like the tentacles of a monster, sharp ice edges slowly stretched out from behind the labyrinthine baby. The gurgling sound was like bones cracking, and the eardrums tingled.
The ice ridge twisted twice at a strange angle, and the end pierced into the otherwise hard stone path of the Trainer's Square, resembling a giant spider with a monstrous body. And the small figure of the Pokémon has long been wrapped in a layer of ice shell, turning into the torso of a shining "spider".
Aaron could barely believe his eyes. He was in a trance and wanted to call the name of the mi-lip baby, but before he could open his mouth, he was pushed hard.
"What a daze, run!" Shimura grabbed the young man's collar and ran a few steps in a hurry.
The giant spider's body shook a few times, and suddenly waved its sharp tentacles out of order. Everywhere the cold air passes, it is covered in frost and snow, and the splashes of ice splinter collide with the rocky ground, blooming on the tropical island in the summer.
The sudden change plunged the Trainer's Square into chaos. People scattered and fled, and some young trainers hurriedly sent out Pokémon to attack the suspected out-of-control Misty Lip Baby. And the twisted ice monster moves with unimaginable agility, and its sharp tentacles pierce the shadow ball straight through, and it looks like it is about to stab the Pokémon and the trainer into a sugar gourd.
In the next second, Charizard rode the hot wind and collided directly with the attacked person and Pokémon, knocking them out of the attack range of the ice edge. The trainer on Charizard's back didn't seem to feel dizzy from the impact, and he briefly dropped a "don't come closer" and immediately went away like a meteor, relieving the next precarious passer-by.
The reckless young man in the south was almost scared into tears, how dare he approach easily, and hurriedly shouted to his friends to retreat away and hide in a safe place to call the police.
As the owner of the Lost Lips Baby, Aaron only felt anxious, confused, and fearful in his mind, making him almost unable to think normally. After no matter how he called, he subconsciously reached his hand to his waist, and before he could touch the Poké Ball, he was frightened by Shimura's reprimand.
"If you want to die, you can just try it!"
The young man's face was gloomy, and he struggled to drag Aaron around the debris on the side of the street to hide, and finally barely managed to stay away from the giant spider wrapped in the cold, and was not stabbed by those dangerous tentacles.
Although Shimura is not a trainer, he has also opened a medicine house next to the Pokémon Center for many years, and he has enough judgment on the strength and weakness of Pokémon. He could tell almost at a glance that the out-of-control Misty Lips Baby, the Ice Monster in the form of a spider, was simply not something that rookie trainers could deal with, and that running for their lives was the only thing they needed to do before the police arrived.
No sooner had the thought flashed through him than a loud crash exploded in close proximity, sending Aron to the ground as soon as he almost fell to the ground. The owner of the medicine house hurriedly fished him out, then turned around, and was stunned to see that the tentacles formed by the condensation of ice had spread and stretched like a stream of water, and almost touched the corners of his clothes—it was the impact from high in the air that stopped the tentacles from moving.
The ice ridge that had been impacted was tilted aside, and flames were still wrapped around the fists of the fire-breathing dragon that had clashed with it, and the blazing orange dispels the night, illuminating the calm eyes of the trainer on his back.
Shimura thought that Sayo released Charizard to escape quickly, but when he suddenly witnessed this scene, he was so shocked that he almost broke out.
The people in the square have long since moved away from the danger zone, and the roaring dragon in the night sky has become the only target of the monster. He watched as the spider's hideous tentacles trembled again, and one after the other rose to stab at the bright color in the air.
Dense ice edges block almost all angles. Amid the exclamations of the people, the Charizard trainer made an unbelievable gesture - she leaped into the air in a completely different direction, and her white clothes suddenly disappeared into the dark night.
The sudden "split" goal halted the tentacles' actions for a moment. At that moment, Charizard activated the Charged Flame Attack, which propelled it to accelerate violently, quickly bypassing the tentacle encirclement, while the falling trainer's foot tapped the eaves of the house, silently frustrating the stabbing of the ice edges behind him.
"Big words burst into flames. ”
The command fell, and scorching flames fell from the sky, instantly drowning the ice monster in a sea of fire.
As we all know, ice-type Pokémon are most afraid of flames, and seeing this scene, there are already sparse cheers from afar. Xiao Ye briefly stopped on the rooftop, and the power of the waveguide firmly locked on the every move of the creatures in the sea of fire.
The flickering firelight was reflected in a clear purple eye, and the flicker of cold light was also not missed. Xiao Ye suddenly realized something, and the order of "Energy Accumulation Flame Attack" was immediately issued, but it was still a step too late.
The tentacle-like ice edge suddenly stretched out and popped straight upwards. It was so fast that Charizard couldn't dodge and was stabbed in the wing.
The blood froze into ice the moment it spilled, and even the pain became too late. Before Charizard could howl, it was struck by a decisive red light and carried back into the Poké Ball.
In silence, the flames dissipated.
The spider-like monster twisted its body. Standing on the rooftop, there is a tingling, watchful feeling in the room—even though the mystical baby wrapped in ice in the center has its eyes closed.
After being baptized by the heat, the tentacles formed by the ice showed no signs of melting.
— as she had seen on the banks of the Bailang River.
