No.88 When we step on the real battlefield
What Ice Karl was referring to was undoubtedly a completely unfamiliar word. There is no such thing as an ice explosion or a natural phenomenon in the world, but when the boy said the word, the doubts that had been buried in his heart not long ago suddenly came to Koya's mind.
She remembers that on the eve of the Battle of the Blizzard, a boy named "Aaron", who lives in Bailang Town at the foot of the mountain, encountered an incredible thing - he was walking in the mountains when he suddenly encountered a snowstorm, and then lost consciousness with his partner Mi Liwa. On the night he was rescued back to the town, although Aaron's body was fine, the Misty Lips went crazy without warning, making a fuss in the square and alarming the police.
Xiao Ye still remembers vividly that the strange ice ridge poked out of the small body of the myo-lipped baby, like a monster parasitic on it.
After the chaos subsided, the trainer Aaron was held accountable for the damage caused to the square's public facilities and shops - the police were originally harsh, but after a series of investigations, they did not mention the punishment, and even allowed Aaron to go home and rest instead of staying in the detention center. There is no doubt that the change in their attitude was due to Miss Joy rushing to the police station and providing them with a piece of information.
At that time, Sayo and Aaron were not allowed to move around at will, and only vaguely heard Miss Joy seem to mention the words "Ice Sight Family". Thinking of the battle between the young people of the Himi family that he witnessed when he first arrived in Bailang Town, Xiao Ye vaguely guessed something.
Carl and Clive saw that the contestant who was suddenly approached did not ask "what is the ice explosion" in a daze. He only thought for a moment, and then calmly asked, "August 6th—that day the two of you will appear in Bailang Town just to investigate this matter, right?"
The two boys from the Himi family glanced at each other.
Karl smiled and replied frankly, "As you think." ”
The three of them sat down at the table around the warm fire.
The boy named Clive said very little, and after simply saying hello, he stopped speaking with an unhappy expression, which is completely different from the arrogant and oppressive little poor character in the competition script - of course, it may also be that the oppressed little poor in the script is usually the one who bullies, so that the unhappy classmates have their faces full of words and don't want to speak.
Compared to his peers, who are autistic all the time, Carl is much more talkative, and he explains what happened to Xiao Ye in a few words.
- At first, everyone thought it was just an accident.
About half a month ago, when the people of the Himi clan were busy preparing for the Battle of Wind and Snow, a clansman's Pokémon was still asleep until the end of the day.
Since it didn't look like it was unwell, and it was a snooze guy on weekdays, even its trainers didn't take this little abnormality to heart. A few hours later, the Pokémon went into a ruckus without warning - the twisted ice enveloped its body, and its long legs poked out like a spider, attacking everything around it indiscriminately.
At that time, the trainer and Pokémon were in a hidden corner of the valley in order to set up the competition scene, and they did not have a companion. The nearby clansmen rushed to hear the noise, but they were still a step too late - the hard ice core wrapped in the Pokémon burst like a bomb, creating a storm that swept through the valley.
The Bingmi people present were all trainers with some strength, and they were only slightly injured in the explosion. And the out-of-control Pokémon is dying, and is still lying in the intensive care unit dying.
The Bingmi family has lived with Pokémon for generations, and they are well-deserved experienced in cultivating and training ice-type Pokémon. Despite this, they have never seen such a "strange disease".
The residents of Fengxue Mountain have run to hospitals all over the country, and even contacted the Napuru Island Police Station, but they still can't figure it out. Considering that the Battle of Wind and Snow was about to start, just when they wanted to put this matter aside for the time being and concentrate on preparing for the competition, the young people of the Himi family found out a piece of news.
"The stinger jellyfish living in the Bailang River Reserve is bizarrely frozen" – the headline itself does not seem to have anything to do with the incident named "Ice Burst" by the Ice Warriors, but the description that "the ice cannot be melted by flames" is the same as the Ice Burst incident. So, the first people to find out about this, Carl and Clive took the initiative to ask Ying to go down the mountain to investigate, and for this reason, they greeted the Pokémon Center and the police station in Bailang Town.
A day later, the news of "Ice Spider Havoc in Bailang Town Square" made headlines in the Orange Islands plate, and finally made the residents of Fengxue Mountain understand that it was not an accident.
"Although we have not yet found the cause of the 'ice explosion', it is certain that if it is not prevented in time, it is likely that someone will be injured as a result. Carl looked at the contestants with those bright green eyes, "The trainer who helped out in the 'Ice Blast' in Bailang Town Square didn't leave his contact information, so we can't ask him anything - but after the incident. We find the trainer of the Misty Lip Baby, and learn that the Pokémon has returned to health, which is very different from the victim of the first Ice Blast. ”
"—and then, the incident that happened yesterday at noon. Your friend's Pokémon showed signs of an 'ice explosion', but you defused the disaster, right?"
With a smile in his eyes at the Shangbing people, Xiao Ye nodded.
"I see. She said, "I'm willing to tell you everything I know and how to stop the Ice Blast." ”
Adjusting the frequency of the waveguide's force to match that of the object, and destroying it with the help of resonance – the principle of "ripple resonance" is not obscure, and many trainers have heard of it. However, since adjusting the frequency is not an easy task, most Pokémon who have mastered the power of waveguides use this as a hidden trick to "blend their breath into the environment to avoid detection", rather than an attack.
After briefly describing their own approach, the two young men from the Bingjian family looked at each other and seemed to feel a little novel.
"Mind a demonstration?" After receiving a positive answer from Xiao Ye, Carl raised his hand again and pushed Clive forward without "aristocratic demeanor", "Come on, Clive, it's your turn." ”
"Do you treat me like a servant?" the unhappy classmate looked at Carl angrily, "Thought I would do whatever you say?"
As he spoke, Clive shook his hand in a huff and planted an icicle on the ground, which was almost a man high.
Sayo: "......"
Isn't that a pretty fast way to do it?
She decided not to care about the magical communication pattern of the two of them, and reached for the icicles with her fingers wrapped around the faint blue light.
The contestants didn't seem to need any time to brew and adjust, just touching the surface with their fingertips, and the hard icicles cracked inch by inch and turned into the residue of rising mist.
She knew that this method would only work for herself, and she added as she retracted, "I think that a strong external force can also destroy the ice core—but it will inevitably hurt the Pokémon inside." ”
The boys of the Bingjian family stared at the broken ice on the ground, and their expressions were a little heavy.
Of course, the contestants knew what they were worried about - before Carl could say thank you, she added, "I might be able to give you some new information." ”
"On the afternoon of the second day of the competition, I met a mad panking in the Warcraft Forest and found a miniature player on it. On the night of the third day, a contestant's Pokémon lost his mind in a scuffle and almost injured the trainers present. - And finally, yesterday's Pokémon of my teammates showed signs of ice explosion. ”
Xiao Ye took out the map in her bag, spread it flat on the table, and clicked on the marker on it.
"After the incident, I asked the two of them where they had been, and the location of the Panshan King was marked on the map. ”
Looking at the handwriting clearly visible on the map, the teenagers with ice-colored hair were stunned.
They certainly know what the immediate results mean.
"-So, if this game goes on as usual," the adventurer smiled and looked at the young inhabitants of the Windy Snow Mountain, "can I join you too?"
Most of the people born in the Southland were resolute – they didn't hesitate to express their gratitude, and in a few words they set the time to meet again to discuss a plan of action.
At the moment of crisis, Xiao Ye didn't care about the outcome of a small game, and planned to simply and rudely go through the withdrawal procedures. Carl stopped her, claiming that he had a way to get the contestants out of the camera without having to retire from the competition.
Your personal live room is one of the best in the entire show, so please continue to participate for the KPIs of our annual project, Carl joked.
"Of course, I'll let your friend know before I do that, so I won't worry him. ”
Facing Carl's determined and natural look, Xiao Ye was suddenly confused.
Friend, is he talking about Long Xing...... But why do you need Carl to make a special notice?
She was about to ask a few questions, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the fire in the house about to go out.
Seeing that the firewood was set aside, she stepped forward to add firewood to the fireplace. The flickering flames emit heat continuously, which is a rare sensation of heat for the contestants in the snow-capped mountains.
She took off her hood, turned her head, and said, "Then we'll ...... tomorrow Huh?"
Seeing that the two teenagers on the opposite side suddenly stared at each other with eyes as round as seal balls, Xiao Ye suddenly got stuck in his mouth when he said half of his words, and he didn't know whether to say it or not.
She looked behind her, looked left and right, and made sure there was nothing wrong around her, and then she asked, "What's wrong?"
After the surprise, Karl's expression softened.
The teenage phenom on the field has a cheerful and confident temperament, even when he smiles, he is a bit angular. And now, as if he had witnessed something nostalgic, the lingering sharpness in his glass-colored eyes was replaced by warmth.
He looked at the contestant in front of him—and the flame-colored feather that binds his hair—and shook his head with a smile.
It turned out to be you. The boy said silently.
The conversation in the cabin didn't last long.
The two NPC actors, who still have performance tasks, quickly say goodbye in a hurry. Seeing that it was still early, Carl said that all the cameras in the vicinity had been turned off, and Xiaoye decided to seize the opportunity to release the Pokémon one by one and let them roam freely for a while.
Since the start of the Battle of Blizzard, the Pokémon of Saya have been in the Poké Balls much longer than ever. The activists among them could not hold back for a long time, and when they saw this, they immediately rushed around the wooden house as if they were happy.
- Of course, there is also one who burrows into the ground like a joy.
The north-facing nose is worthy of being a rock-type Pokémon, and its temper and stubbornness are as hard as stone. Even though it has been forced to follow Xiao Ye for many days, knowing that this human Pokémon partner is not easy to deal with, it still tries to escape with the method of retreat handed down by the ancestor of the north at every opportunity. And the main force in charge of guarding it, Ghost Stone, which it took the initiative to ask for in exchange for a task, on the condition that it order a new flavor energy cube once a week, patronized Sa Huan, and his reaction was half a beat slower, until most of his body was planted in the soil towards the north nose before rushing over.
The two sides did not give in to each other, and launched a confrontation between digging holes and spiritual strong thoughts, and for a while the competition was full of sparks, rocks flying, and the snow boy who was curious to watch on the side was accidentally smashed.
"Whew!!"
Ghost Stone was suddenly anxious, and even let out a roar that looked like a tyrannosaurus across races, and smashed a long string of shadow balls without saying a word. Facing north, the nose was blown up with a question mark...... Or maybe he was yelled with a voice that ignored the physiology, and after a while, he was pressed into the snow and couldn't move.
Fight is lost, and the momentum cannot be weakened - like a seal mold, the north-facing nasal urn screams angrily and curses the ghoststone, and the ghost continues to make strange noises that neither humans nor Pokémon can understand. Xiao Ye and Pichu listened together for a few minutes, and finally picked up Snow Boy, covered the little one's ears and left silently.
Then, after mediating the battle between Leolu and the forest lizard, who started fighting each other without saying a word, stopping the fight between the Tyrannosaurus and the Charizard who was scorched with a piece of scale, and rescuing Pichu who had to go up the tree and scurry but accidentally kicked over the fruit pile of the tree and was chased by the group, Xiao Ye finally decided to think about his mental health and end the early morning when the fire chicken flying rock dog jumped.
Thanks to the reliable little dream demon, the morning of separate actions did not let the Terashima sisters and brothers, who were confused by the direction, get lost in the forest. After a half-day of "Warcraft Lifesavers" operation, they returned on time and successfully met at the agreed location.
"Report to the boss, I saved seven demonic beasts today!"
"Boss, boss, I saved nine!"
Li Jiu and Long Xing took the initiative to report the results of their work to the team leader. Xiao Ye nodded, sent a few skillful business touts, and then asked, "You haven't been discovered by the contestants, have you?"
"Of course!"
The sister and brother brushed out a large handful of ice willow leaves, and said sonorously: "We walked on tiptoe and pretended to be tall, covered the lower half of our faces with leaves, and pinched our throats to speak!"
Sayo: "......"
I mean to keep you hidden......
Forget it, okay, okay......
As they talked, the fog in the forest slowly dissipated.
The sun was high in the sky, and it was twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
Dark clouds reveal a few crevices, allowing the sun to penetrate and cast a few spots of light over the shady forest. The beautiful leaves of the ice willow reflect the bright spots, almost like a galaxy reflected on the earth.
In the depths of the Warcraft Forest, a row of huge figures slowly emerged.
