No.275 Reunion with a boy from the Sky Country
The National Library of the Union is open 24 hours a day, and is rarely closed. Even though the night was getting dark, the administrator didn't alert the people stationed in the library, and Saya was able to copy everything in the text message word by word.
In this text message, which is only a few hundred words, Xiao Ye sees too much unfamiliar information. The ice gods of the West are also famous nobles in modern times, but the gods of thunder and fire, whose surnames are slightly similar, are not well known. The Emissary of the Lake must be synonymous with the Three Sacred Mushrooms, but Xiao Ye had never heard of them ever leaving the Sinnoh region or even reaching the distant Red Lotus Island. The surname of the man suspected of guiding them was "Caselle", but Xiao Ye couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while.
And none of these contents are as interesting as "a monster with a pitch-black body and wings on its back".
Xiao Ya had seen them twice. Once at the bottom of a canyon on the outskirts of Light Red City, and the other at the time of a solar eclipse on Red Lotus Island – the latter scene is so similar to what was recorded in newspapers 500 years ago. The sun turns pitch black, and monsters appear in it, but Saya never thought that these unidentified creatures might jump out of the sun and wreak havoc on the ground.
She instinctively sensed that she had touched something that had been hidden for a long time. The existence of those monsters is probably the real reason why the Alliance destroyed the history of the Eclipse Rebellion.
The newsletter mentions that "the monster is in the same form as the legendary Abyssal Demon that appeared during the Radiant Age". The word Abyss Demon is so unfamiliar to all modern people that Saya can only think of strange online games, but the tone of the text writer is as if everyone understands what an Abyss Demon is, and he doesn't spend the slightest word explaining it.
Sayo knows that the "Glorious Era" usually refers to around the first year of the Elven calendar, that is, about a thousand years ago. The origin of this statement is no longer known, and there are many different interpretations circulating in the field of historiography. The only thing that can be determined is the origin of the "Elven calendar" - when the war devastated human society, the flying mythical beasts brought life to the scarred land, and in order to commemorate this miraculous scene, the human beings who witnessed the miracle changed the Western calendar to the elven calendar, and still uses it to this day.
This is something that is covered in every elementary school history textbook, and it does not include the slightest phrase associated with the "demons of the abyss". Besides, there have never been gods and demons in this world.
"Sooner or later, the Eclipse Rebellion will repeat itself, and time is running out......" Saya whispered what the boy from the Radiance Society had said.
If this sentence is not a momentary nonsense, then the meaning of it is too terrible.
With all kinds of heavy thoughts, Xiao Ye returned to the Pokémon Center. Although the truth of the Eclipse Rebellion is unsettling, the Quartz Alliance is about to start, and Xiao Ye can't always waste his time on it.
She secretly jotted down all the doubts and decided to continue her exploration in the future.
June 17.
This is the last day of Saya and his party living in this Pokémon center. The Players' Village will open tomorrow, and participants will need to check in as soon as possible before the tournament starts - if you go too late, you'll have to pay a lot of money to live in the surrounding hotels once the Pokémon Center dormitories are snapped up.
Xiao Ya's investigation into the Eclipse Rebellion has come to an end, and there is no need to go to the Alliance National Library again. Little Pichu was actually depressed when he heard this, and he must have been unable to let go of the running wheel in the Pokémon entertainment area of the library.
This has led its conscientious owners to consider whether or not to buy a hamster cage for Pichu - oh, what in this world should be called an electric rat cage?
Of course, this kind of thing about shopping and buying cages will be discussed later.
Sayo is not a person who is good at enriching her life. Her way of spending her free time is very simple, and there is almost only one option: training. It just so happened that there weren't many people at the training ground today, and Xiao Ye's roommates all went out early in the morning, only Kiriba remained in the Pokémon Center and had a pre-game special training with Xiao Ye.
- Said to be together, in fact, they just used the adjacent venues to train separately, and Xiao Ya didn't want to rub himself in front of the tropical dragon of Kiripa senior.
"The Oath of Fire. ”
Countless pillars of fire rose along with the trajectory of Charizard's flying trajectory, rumbling and igniting a corner of the training ground. The tyrannosaurus that was trapped in it immediately waved its tail, and it had a bit of turbulent momentum.
The rising pillars of fire were extinguished one by one, and in the face of his old opponent, Charizard had no intention of retreating. The final pillar of fire unrelentingly doubled its light, and Charizard took a deep breath and threw the large flames into it.
I'm afraid I'm addicted to explosives.
Charizard has never had any combo skills, and the result of the "fusion" of the Big Character Flame and the Fire Oath is not much better than the overheating of the Red Lotus Gym battle. The colliding flames caused a big explosion, and the wave of fire suddenly spilled around, and Xiao Ye just wanted to take two steps back to avoid the heat, but he glanced at what seemed to be a white shadow at the edge of the field.
The fluttering sleeves of his coat were swept up by the hot wind, but he was still walking unhurriedly towards the field, and he was about to be swallowed up by the flames. Sensing that the situation was not good, Xiao Ye was too late to rescue, and was about to instruct the Tyrannosaurus to forcibly extinguish the flames, when the scene in front of her made her pause.
The visitor was dressed in a kimono that was almost dazzling white, and the delicate patterns of the feathers were raised and danced in the blazing wind. And the flames that were raising one after another seemed to have seen a nemesis, and they actually "trembled" and consciously avoided it, and in the flames in the sky, only a silent vacuum was formed around the young man in white.
He walked through the sea of fire, the rhythmic sound of grass trampling the ground approaching, and then stopped in front of Xiao Ye.
"Starry Night, right?" he asked, straight to the point.
Xiao Ye was stunned, "Yes, may I ask who you are?"
The boy didn't answer immediately, but looked at Sayo with an undisguised, scrutinizing gaze.
Xiao Ye is very sure that he has not met the person in front of him in his nearly half a year of travel, otherwise he would never have no impression of him.
The boy had short pale blue hair, and the ribbon tied between the white clothes was the same color as his hair. His kimono was meticulously dressed, quite tight, but there was a wooden knife hanging from his waist, which invisibly jumped out of a bit of sharpness. The young man's eyes were so bright that they were almost a dazzling gold, and at a glance, it seemed that he could see the dancing flames in them, and people suddenly thought that the flames just now had not been extinguished, but all lived in the eyes of the person opposite.
Just standing there without saying a word, he looked dazzling and full of presence—if he wasn't half a head shorter than Xiao Ye, maybe he would have looked a little more imposing.
"Bailan. The boy in a formal kimono briefly introduced himself, but Saya didn't understand his next sentence, "This time, I'll be the tester." As is customary, we can start fighting. ”
“...... Hmm, what are you talking about?" for a moment, Sayo wondered if what she was hearing was an alliance.
The boy named Bai Lan frowned, "I was referring to the timed test mentioned in the letter. ”
Xiaoye: "......??"
Bai Lan: "......"
The two of them were relatively speechless, and because the atmosphere was too weird, even the pailina next to them looked over with some concern. In the end, it was Xiao Ye who hesitated to break the awkward silent gaze, "I'm sorry, I don't really understand what you mean...... Did you recognize the wrong person?"
Could it be that there is a person with the same name and surname as her in the Pokémon Center...... at least Sayo doesn't understand what the other party means by "tester" and "timed test mentioned in the letter", and her confusion is comparable to listening to a Spanish lecture.
As if realizing that something was wrong, Bai Lan's brow furrowed even tighter.
Xiao Ye always felt that the boy who was much shorter than her had the momentum of the black-faced elementary school principal who found the students undisciplined, and she almost began to reflect on herself whether she had said the wrong thing. The boy had already taken a step back and bowed to her slightly, "I'm sorry, I was rude just now." ”
Raising his head, he began to introduce himself for the second time with a complacent, "Hello, I'm Bai Lan, a traveling freelance trainer who came here to join the Quartz Alliance. Please advise. As he spoke, he held out his hand to Saya - this time it was more like the usual dialogue when they first met.
"Please advise, I'm Xiao Ye. Although you seem to already know ......?"
Bai Lan saw that Xiao Ye looked puzzled with an inquiring expression, but he didn't explain much, just shook Xiao Ye's hand in silence. The body temperature that was no different from ordinary people came from the palm of the person opposite, and a thought in his heart was stirred, and he immediately regained his peace.
He asked bluntly, "Can you have a one-on-one battle with me?"
"Of course. ”
Xiao Ye nodded, and immediately turned around and walked to the other end of the venue after seeing that the other party got the answer, looking like he had no desire to talk, and had to suppress his doubts in his heart for the time being.
The appearance of Shinjin's letter full of unknown words flashed through Xiao Ye's mind, and she quickly put it aside.
Really...... Did you recognize the wrong person?
Kiriha, who had been paying attention to this, saw that Xiao Ya and the boy in the white kimono wanted to fight, and immediately said that he could temporarily act as a referee. After the three of them took their respective positions, the battle began.
Sayo's fire-breathing dragon looked at his master with a blank look, and immediately jumped onto the field in high spirits after receiving a nod of approval. It's long fed up with old faces.
The young man in white took out a high-class ball and threw it with a backhand to put it mildly.
What appeared in the light was a straight figure. Its ruby eyes were sharp, the blade at its elbow popped out with a cold light, and the blue and white color made both Saya and Kiritha show some surprised expressions.
After seeing the appearance of this heterochromatic Eluredo, Kiripa almost subconsciously turned his head to look around. Fortunately, there were no people on the training ground, and their location was relatively remote, so no one noticed this over-eye-catching Pokémon for the time being.
Larulath is already a fairly rare Pokémon in the distant Hoenn region. Kiriha could imagine what kind of greed a heterochromatically colored Eluredo would arouse to the people around her.
Bai Lan seemed to understand the reason why the temporary referee suddenly looked left and right, and did not say anything to urge, but just calmly and calmly looked at her initial partner.
After the signal for the start of the battle was given, the boy gave the order in a voice that had not yet changed his voice but was already full of awe.
"Mental blade. ”
Before Charizard could react, the opponent on the other side had disappeared without warning. In the next second, the blade full of spiritual power slashed fiercely at the back of Charizard, and the overwhelming force struck, causing the red figure to fall to the ground heavily, stirring up a cloud of smoke and dust.
Eluredo's blade left a hideous scar on Charizard's back, oozing blood.
