In the afternoon, the sky was clear.

Xiao Ye and Xiao Tian are both free trainers with full of action, and they bought tickets for tonight's cruise ship in between lunches.

Of course, Nighta, who is used to flying around on Pokémon, didn't have this plan originally-

"Luckily, the bus is back in operation, and I thought I would have to do it all over again. Sitting in the back row of the bus, Xiao Ye smiled at Xiao Tian while scratching the little Pichu on his knee and snoring.

It doesn't matter if she travels alone, the road is the safest with Xiaotian - the terrain of Mount Aso is so bad that it is famous throughout the Orange Islands, and she doesn't want to drag her friends on the mountain road and cause someone to break their leg.

"Shouldn't this be a no-fly zone?" Xiao Tian looked sideways at his friend.

"Well, it's just that I was planning to look for the traces of the wind thieves at the time, and flying in openly will inevitably startle the snakes. ”

Saya listened to the Flame Folk talk about the flight control problems after the incident, and explained in passing, "Trainers are not allowed to fly on Pokémon in the Aso Mountains yet, but the towns below the mountain are not affected, so don't worry. ”

The silver-haired boy blinked slowly, as if realizing something, and asked tentatively, "Are you going to ride a Pokémon to Nepuru Island?"

Sayo nodded, casting a "Aren't you" look.

Xiao Tian looked at her friend who couldn't figure out the situation—she obviously felt that hanging her arms on her chest didn't affect her flight at all—and said calmly, "You can't change into a cycling uniform right now." ”

After thinking about it, he added, "In the past two days, the air police patrol near Xiangju Island has been very dense - the minimum fine for violations is 30,000 yuan. ”

The purple-haired girl's expression immediately changed when she heard this, and she said seriously and firmly, "Let's take a boat." ”

Cruise ships tend to be more expensive than buses or trams, with discounted prices ranging from more than $10,000. Fortunately, Xiao Ye hasn't been spending much lately - it's better to say that she hasn't even been able to spend 1pd in the Valley of Flames. I didn't buy souvenirs, and I didn't pay for the room and board before I left, but I only got Yongzhen's cry of "don't kill our tourism industry"; there are still more than 70,000 balances in the card, which is more than enough to pay for the ferry ticket.

- At least it is much more cost-effective than losing 30,000 yuan if caught by the air police.

They bought tickets for the Sea Flaming Horse, a popular cruise ship for trainers, with a training room said to be free to use, and the occasional battle tournament with great prizes. It departs from Nanachi Island in the height of summer and loops around the Orange Islands for a full week. The two-day voyage from Koh Orange to Koh Naipuru is just a short part of the story.

There were still several hours to go, and the two were in no hurry to get to the dock. After lunch, Xiao Ye went to the friendly store to buy a batch of daily necessities.

During the more than a week in the Valley of the Flames, there were almost no food consumed, and all that needed to be replenished were small bits and pieces such as a dragon Pokémon toothbrush that had been bald by Charizard, a comb that had lost teeth to sort out the knotted fluff of the European road, a forest lizard's favorite grass-scented incense, and an ice Pokémon environmental cooling ball that had been used up by Snow Boy.

- And in addition to Pokémon supplies, there is one more item in Night's shopping list this time.

When the purple-haired girl walked out of the friendly shop, she had completely changed her outfit.

She used to wear the same style of white autumn tracksuit, but now the color system has not changed, but the appearance is completely different - the short-sleeved jacket and knee-length shorts are still pure white, and the light purple with a similar hair color outlines the simple shape of the fabric, creating a refreshing and neat aura. The braid in his right ear touched his cheek in the breeze, and the feathers tied on it became the only bright color on his body.

Compared to the anachronistic long clothes and trousers, the summer clothes and the orange islands are obviously better - but the large and small fragments and bandage gauze on the exposed skin are a bit sparkling, making the style of the shorts boy instantly become a bad boy who loves to fight.

When he saw his "new" friend, Xiao Tian blinked in surprise.

The temperature of Zhenxin Town does not change much in the four seasons, and he has long been accustomed to seeing Xiao Ye's uniform dressing style throughout the year, and when he sees this, he throws Xiao Ye a "You finally feel hot" look - unlike Xiao Ye, Xiao Tian changed into summer clothes early when the temperature warmed up, and at this time he was wearing a blue and white mid-sleeved shirt and slacks, which looked clean and cool.

And Xiao Ye responded with a sturdy smile, and his inner activities had already deviated for eight hundred miles.

She didn't change into a summer dress at all because of the hot climate of the Orange Islands, but ......

The smaller the size, the less likely it is to be damaged—says a poor man who scrapped two full tracksuits in the Valley of Flames.

Daylight gradually shifts westward.

After a brief dinner at the Pokémon Center, the two walked slowly along the coast, chatting as they walked. At dusk, the refreshing sea breeze blows in your face, blowing away the heat of midsummer.

At 9:30 p.m., Saya and Sayten boarded the ship that shuttles between the Orange Islands and the Seven Islands all year round, the Sea Flame Horse [Japanese: シーギャロップごう, English: Seagallop_Ferries]".

It is a large, richly decorated cruise ship. The banquet hall on the first floor is brightly lit, and there is no shortage of meals at any time, and there are still people pushing cups and changing lamps in it, and chatting happily. Visitors' rooms are located on the second floor, and further up is an open-air battle area where various competitions are held.

By the time young people from Guandu boarded the cruise ship, it was already dark at night. After settling into the two-person room, they didn't rush to wander around, but chose to rest early to recuperate.

The sea was clear of wind and waves tonight, and the boats were sailing smoothly. Even Leo Road, who was dizzy during the bus ride, didn't feel the slightest discomfort - but the bedroom wasn't spacious enough to let out the eager Charizard.

The wood-based rooms are warm, with a faint scent of smoke in the air and just the right amount of light. The smaller Pokémon rolled and tossed around on the soft carpet for a while, and it wasn't long before sleepiness rose and yawned - carefree little ones like Snow Boy had slept in all sorts of strange positions. Seeing this, the trainers who were chatting also tacitly accepted their voices.

Young humans and Pokémon close their eyes in the middle of the night on the sea, and gradually sink into a quiet dream.

July 31, early in the morning.

Xiao Ya got up early and went to the deck to let the big Pokémon breathe.

Dabi Bird's injuries had not healed and he could not fly, so he quietly stayed with the trainer, tilting his head from time to time to see the girl's smiling expression-

Although it quickly turned into a wry smile.

Charizard, which had been holding back all night, was surprisingly energetic, circling around the cruise ship in a large windmill-like frenzy, its wings almost rubbing against the air to form a spark - because its posture was so crazy, even the observers on the ship were alarmed, and they came to make sure to make sure to the trainer that the Charizard was not crazy or chaotic, but was born to look like a happy madman before leaving.

In comparison, the tyrannosaurus swimming with the boat in the sea is much more stable.

The Sea Flaming Horse is full of trainers, and unlike regular cruise ships, guests' Pokémon are allowed to swim with the ship, and as long as they do not collide with the ship, they will not be warned. The tyrannosaurus has experience in living in the sea, and has a strong ability to read its way, and when Xiao Ye sees that it swims freely, he simply lets it roll in the deep blue water, and plans to wait until night to take it back into the ball to rest.

Of course, the joyful and crazy Charizard has no such treatment. The grim trainer remained unmoved by its pitiful teary-eyed expression, and ruthlessly retracted it when it returned to the ship.

- If you really let it run around like a tyrannosaurus, maybe you'll have to go to the Johto area tomorrow to find it.

The cold trainer went to the restaurant for a rare breakfast that wasn't "Pokémon Center" flavor, and by the way, he brought a few snacks for his friends that seemed to be his favorite. She pushed the door and walked into the room, and saw that Xiao Tian, who had gone to the infirmary early in the morning to queue up to receive Pokémon seasickness medicine, had also returned, holding a teacup in one hand and a tablet in the other to watch a video.

Xiao Ye poked her head curiously, "What are you looking at?"

The silver-haired boy shoved another cup of black tea in front of Xiao Ye, and then turned the screen of his tablet to the opposite side.

"Thanks—huh?"

Xiao Ye looked at the familiar picture on the screen, puzzled, "Why did you watch the live video of that day again?—— your breakfast." ”

Xiao Tian took the snack bag and swept his gaze over the knuckled right hand of the person opposite. He saw a thin callus attached to the palm of Night's hand—the kind of hand that only a weapon would look like.

At the same time, the boy's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the frozen image on the screen. The inconspicuous crystal blue was calmly and quickly making its way through the jungle, bypassing obstacles and avoiding the flames, leading the angry gods to the location of the trap.

"I'm just thinking ......"

Actual combat is different from competition on the field, the battle situation and environment are more complex than the competition, and every move may determine one's life and death. He had carefully observed every detail of the "live battle", and could see his friend running between the darkness and the jungle, skillfully avoiding the fire and blazing winds, or almost recklessly colliding head-on with a rock cannon, only to successfully knock the mountaintop sneak attacker into the lava.

He asked himself that he could never have made the same swift and accurate judgment as his friends in such a great danger—a gap that could not be bridged by effort and study.

"You're really strong. Xiaotian said.

The compliment from the captain did not make the vice captain happy, but his expression collapsed, "What is the person who beat me up six to three in the Quartz League is talking about......"

Xiao Tian was speechless. The next moment, all kinds of dim sum had been shoehorned into front of him, and with the background sound of "drinking black tea on an empty stomach is unhealthy", he had no choice but to swallow the complicated feelings back into his stomach first, and turned to deal with breakfast.

There is a breeze blowing through the sea in the early morning. The small waves crash against the boat, making the cruise ship gently shake without discomfort, but with a sense of fun.

Xiao Ye concentrated on experiencing the first "Wandering Cruise" in his life for a while. She put down the teacup and was thinking about making a training plan for the next few days, when she saw that Xiaotian had finished breakfast, and took out a huge medical kit with ease.

"Bang!"

The box landed on the table, and there was a sound like a bankilas falling from the sky.

Xiaoye: "...... Isn't it bigger?"

Xiaotian: "Yes. ”

Seeing the captain cast a Batman-like gaze at him, Xiao Ye had no choice but to stand up obediently and accept the baptism of criticism.

This has happened too many times between the "Dawn Four" - Xiao Ye and the Golden Retriever siblings are very "adventurous" people, never caring if they are injured or not, and they can forget about it in the blink of an eye. As the only reliable person, Xiao Tian had to conscientiously chase after his teammates to perform healing work, and over time, even the size of the medical box was not for one person.

However, I have been baptized too many times by the "captain's .jpg disapproving gaze", and even Xiaoye has already given birth to antibodies - anyway, as long as I cooperate obediently, I will definitely not be crushed by the flames like my golden retriever brother.

Xiao Ye, who is well versed in this, never mentions "I think you spray too much medicine" and other sinister words, and honestly cooperates with all the actions of the temporary team doctor, and the physical examination sheet and the medicine prescribed by the doctor are lined up, waiting for the captain to take it at any time.

Xiao Tian pressed the lock and gently opened the splint on Xiao Ye's left arm.

Topical drugs to promote bone growth are sprayed twice a day on the injured area. When the splint opened, the large bruises that had not yet dissipated were shockingly exposed directly into the air, making people subconsciously want to look away.

The boy cautiously slowed his movements, spraying the cold potion little by little on his friend's injured arm.

"Does it hurt?"

Xiao Ye looked up at Xiao Tian's expression and replied, "Yes—it's about the same level as the headache I had when I stayed up all night for three days in the final exam." ”

Xiaotian: "......"

The young man's expression of concern almost cracked into eight pieces. He paused before asking with difficulty, "You ...... What did you do then?"

"The three of us formed the 'Junior Mutual Support Team', vowing to dedicate our bodies and souls to the final exam, and to concentrate on studying like polygonal beasts. The latter replied calmly, but her wandering gaze still revealed her unbearable mood.

Xiaotian: "...... Maybe you can call me or Xiaomao for help?"

Xiao Ye: "We invited Xiao Mao to come at the beginning. About an hour later, he was and cried. ”

Xiaotian: "......"

Sayo: "We spent another two hours apologizing to him. So it's not cost-effective. ”

Xiaotian: "............"

Perhaps feeling the shock of the indomitable spirit from the junior students, Xiao Tian did not say a word during the whole process of subsequent treatment, most likely because the language system had been stuffed with ellipses.

Until the end of the drug work, the "unbearable memory" reminded Xiao Ye of one thing.

"Speaking of which, when are you going to invite Xiaoyun to join us, Xiaotian?"

Xiao Tian hesitated for a moment and temporarily put down the cotton swab in his hand.

"I mentioned this to her the other day. He replied—and after the second half of the sentence was spoken, he unsurprisingly saw Sayra's expression in disbelief.

Xiaoyun said that she was still hesitant and needed to think about it for a while. ”
