On the way, a speedboat rushed straight towards Ash and them, although Chenglong reacted quickly, he was still drenched in water, and Ash and his party who were sitting on Chenglong were naturally also drenched. Shigeru was woken up and got up, and saw Mewtwo flying next to them in the air, his tail wrapped around Lucario and carrying him with him, and the water droplets were frozen in front of Mewtwo, and then he withdrew his strength and fell back into the sea.

"Mewtwo, why don't you intercept it for us?" Xiao Mao got up from Ash, straightened his hat, and asked with a slightly dissatisfied voice.

"The group said there were fossils of fossil helmets in front of them. Mewtwo looked at Lucario and looked at him with dissatisfaction, and snorted softly, saying what he had just heard and what the group would be interested in.

"Fossil helmets?" the four asked in unison.

That's what the humans said. Mewtwo explained, then quickly said, "I won't go to the island with you." ”

"Someone from Team Rocket?" Xiao Mao was already awake at the moment, pinched his eyebrows, and asked after putting his hat on Xiao Zhi.

"Yes. Mewtwo nodded.

After Xiao Mao popularized the science for Ash, how rare the fossil of the fossil helmet was, he thought about it for a while, and he and Ash would definitely not give up the possibility of seeing ancient Pokémon. So I will definitely go to the island, and on the island in front, Xiao Mao took out his computer, opened the map, and saw where they were, and the closest island to them at the moment was Fula Island No. 4. "Mewtwo, when we go to the island, you lead Lucario and avoid those people following us, and Ash and I will follow the people from the archaeological team to excavate. ”

"Yes. Mewtwo nodded, and Lucario knew about Mao's concerns and agreed to follow Mewtwo all the way. After solving Mewtwo and Lucario, Shigeru began to think about Ash, Ash has a tendon, and it will be bad if he talks to someone and shows his feet. "Ash. ”

"Huh?" Ash heard Shigeru call himself and looked sideways, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, don't talk about it later, there's someone from Team Rocket over there. Without saying anything, I'll go with you to dig up the fossils of the fossilized helmet. "Shigeru knows exactly what to use to make Ash obedient, although it can sometimes have the opposite effect. But overall it's still very useful.

"It's as if I said you won't go if you leak your mouth. It's like Xiao Mao knows Xiao Mao, Xiao Ash has been with Xiao Mao for so long, and he clearly knows Xiao Mao's character. In some ways, they actually have a lot of similar personalities. It's like right now, no matter what the reason is, they will go to that island to find out.

"Well, I'm here anyway. There shouldn't be much of a mess. Xiao Mao raised his hand and stroked his hair.

"Well, not necessarily. Xiao Zhi glanced at Xiao Mao's red eyes at the moment, this state was still so self-righteous. Xiao Zhi didn't think that it would be his own situation first, after all, Xiao Mao was the worst state among the four, and it could be said that he was the worst storage zài.

"Ride the dragon, keep going. I was sleeping for a while, and when it came time to call me. Xiao Mao pulled Ash over, completely ignored Ash's fried hair, naturally put his head on Ash's shoulder, and said tiredly, "Let me sleep for a while, and then I can act when the opportunity comes." ”

Ash looked sideways at the person who was sleeping soundly on his shoulder, snorted softly, and then buckled his hat back to Mao's head, allowing him to sleep more comfortably. Xiao Jian and Xiao Xia deeply felt that they were too redundant at the moment, and the way these two people got along was simply impossible to insert. Every time I see the two getting along, I am very surprised, Xiao Mao will not say it, Xiao Zhi, who has always been a little arrogant, will actually take care of people, which is really surprising. I studied the subject, went to the kitchen, trained the elf, and trained a tendon creature that relied on intuition to fight.

When they arrived at Fula IV, a reporter was looking at the camera to explain the purpose of their trip. Hearing the excavation team, Xiaomao guessed that the people of Team Rocket should be in the excavation team, but this operation should have been approved by the above. I shouldn't be able to get any clues about Team Rocket, so let's follow them and investigate. Xiao Mao yawned and followed the group of reporters.

Xiao Zhi saw that Xiao Mao had acted, so he naturally followed, and seeing Xiao Mao's lack of energy, he couldn't help but ask worriedly, "You really don't want to take a break?"

"Ah, how could I miss such a difficult opportunity?" Shigeru smiled and shook his head, although Ash cared about himself and was very happy. But he didn't want to regret it later.

"That's right. Ash scratched his head, Fossil Helmet, a powerful elf. It's a shame to miss it. Besides, it's a fossil, and it can be taken home as a trophy worth showing off, and it's exciting to think about it.

When Ash and the others caught up, they saw Haoli carrying the tools he used to set up the tent. Several tents had been set up in it, and a few adults were talking there. And not far from them, it was a few reporters who had just followed them. What is surprising is that the captain of the archaeological team is actually Miss Joy, and after seeing that Joy is the captain, Xiao Mao can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Joey's words, there will be no problem to keep up.

When he heard Joey introduce the essence of the fossil helmet, Ash asked Xiao Mao in a low voice, "Can the fossil helmet really make the elixir?"

"No, you can't. Xiao Mao didn't know how this unreliable rumor spread, but it would be too exaggerated to say anything about the elixir. Human life and death are a cycle, and if people break this due cycle, I am afraid that only ruined miè will remain.

"But Miss Joy said it was helpful for medicine. Ash looked at Xiao Mao, what Xiao Mao said was too absolute. Xiao Mao used to clearly say that nothing is absolute, and absolute is only an assumption under certain conditions. And this assumption itself is not absolute. Although he didn't understand it, Ash still understood a little, there are no absolutes in everything. But at this moment, Xiao Mao categorically rejected the rumor.

"Medical help may be available, but it is absolutely impossible to make any elixir. Xiao Mao said calmly.

"Why?" Ash asked.

"Life and death are the laws of nature and a law, what will happen if this law is broken?" Xiao Mao looked at the fossil helmet that Joey was holding in his hand, and said in a heavy tone, "It's either progress, or ruined." "Whether you walk in or retreat, once the law is broken, I am afraid that what will usher in is just perish.

"What if it's progress?" Xiaoxia asked, immortality, the focus is on immortality, this is the most important thing for women.

"Then it could be a disaster for the elves. Xiao Mao said the result, a result that Xiao Xia didn't understand.

"Why, we're friends with the elves. Ash immediately disagreed with this statement.

"Humanity is now in a position of a high-ranking decision-maker. We have no natural enemies, and our only natural enemies are probably ourselves and the laws of nature. Our technology will become more and more developed, and even now, the elf race has no chance of winning when it meets human technology. Do you understand? If human beings are immortal, then after generation after generation, we need a bigger land to live, and the land, we need to plunder, who can only plunder? You know? It's going to be an existential war. Xiao Mao chose a simple and easy-to-understand one, and for the time being, it does not involve the depth of those things, and the darkness behind them.

Ash: They still don't understand, but they understand that human immortality may not be a good thing. Xiao Mao saw Xiao Zhi and their faces sad, and couldn't help but smile and said, "What are you doing when you are so depressed, although you can't live forever, you can still live a few more years." ”

"I don't understand it, and it feels strange, but it feels profound. Xiao Jian was the first to comment.

After recording a show over there, Joey walked over and asked, "How many of you are?"

"We are trainers on a trip, and we were almost bumped by you on the road, so we followed curiously, and after landing on the island, we heard this reporter's lady say that the fossil helmet was found on this small island, so I came to take a look. After Xiao Mao smiled and said the reason for their origin, he naturally introduced himself, "I'm Xiao Mao, hello, Miss Joy." Can you say a reluctant request?"

"Uh, what?" Joey looked at Xiao Mao, who was a little tired at the moment, but still gave a good impression. It can be said that Xiao Mao has a good face. People always naturally have some privileges over good-looking people, such as beautiful women, and handsome men. Of course, Xiao Mao is still a child at the moment, and he can only be a polite little gentleman.

"Well, my companion and I want to help Miss Joy with her expedition and excavation. You know, this is a very rare life experience for us, although it may be difficult for some strong people. But we have a Pokémon Observer here, and I'm a Researcher. I think that even if it is a small effort, I would like to make some contribution to this discovery. Xiao Mao humbly said their request, although it was a request, but it did not leave Joey with the right to refuse.

"This—" Joey was still a little hesitant, but after glancing at the reporter next to him, he finally nodded in agreement. "All right, but you must follow my commands, and you must not act alone. ”

"We'll be sure to follow Miss Joy's orders. Hearing Joey say yes. Ash immediately laughed and replied loudly.

The archaeological team quickly packed up the equipment they needed to bring and walked ahead. Ash and the others followed at the back of the archaeological team, and Ash said with a lot of fighting spirit, "I must find the fossil of that fossil helmet." ”

Just as Mao was about to talk, Lucario told Mao that there was someone next to them. It didn't feel malicious, but it was also suspicious to deliberately hide and observe them. Shigeru asked Lucario and Mewtwo to follow the man, and the moon elf, who followed Lucario and found the person hiding at the same time, was stopped by Shigeru. Shaking his head, he didn't let the moon elf go and catch that person directly.

Along the way, except for Ash, their fighting spirit was high, and everyone else was very strict. A heavy atmosphere spread, and the group proceeded towards the depths of the forest. Their target was Haikou, because the fossilized helmet that was first found was fishermen after it was dropped in Haikou.

Out of the forest, they walked on the steep cliffs, carefully grasping a rope and carefully moving forward in turn. It can be said that this journey has gone through a lot of hardships, but on the way forward, just when the catty dog was uneasy, Lucario said to Xiao Mao, "Teacher, be careful, that person is going to push the stone on it." ’

As soon as Lucario finished speaking, the Rolling Stone fell. Joey and everyone in the room panicked. Turning around and running, Xiao Mao saw this and hurriedly shouted, "Miss Joy, let Haoli stop the rolling stones." ”

Only then did Joey remember that there was still Haoli. hurriedly called two heroes to come over to stop the rolling stones, and only then did he survive. After dropping the rolling stones down the mountain, the group continued to move forward. Mewtwo couldn't have appeared in front of people, so Xiaomao didn't let Lucario do it. That person should just be trying to stop them from advancing, but why? The moon elf was standing at Xiao Mao's feet, and the road above didn't know if it would be more dangerous, and that person would continue to do this, in case he hurt someone, I was afraid that no one could tell. "Go, Moon Elf. ”

The speed of the moon elf was extremely fast, and almost before a few people could react, the moon elf had already run to the location where the boulder was just now, and quickly bit the man's trouser legs, with warnings in his eyes.

The man was attacked by an elf he had never seen before, and he immediately panicked. Hearing the sound, Joey and the others hurriedly ran up. When I saw an old man with gray hair in his clothes, I didn't react to what was going on. It was Xiao Mao who was the first to ask, "Uncle, why did you push the boulder down?" Only then did everyone realize that the position of the person in front of them was a little delicate.

"Get me out of this island at once. After realizing that he had been discovered, the old man regained his composure.

"Can you explain why, sir?" asked Joey.

"This island is not a place for outsiders to come in. The old man said.

"You did the rockfall just now?" Joey asked the old man again.

"That's right. The old man said confidently. And after the old man admitted that he was the one who attacked them with falling stones, the reporter continued to host. After hearing the reporter say what kind of mysterious old man he was, the old man angrily rushed over and shouted, "I'm not a mysterious old man, I'm a good old man who lives on the island next door." My name is Tado. ”

Xiao Mao was not interested in whether the old man was a good old man or not, he just wanted to know why this old man called Tian was blocking them. "Why did the old man not hesitate to use falling rocks to prevent us from going to Haikou?"

Xiao Zhi was quite dissatisfied with Tian Suo, and snorted coldly, "What kind of good man is this." ”

Tian Suo didn't care about Xiao Zhi's dissatisfaction, but seriously answered Xiao Mao's question, "The reason why I did this is all for your sake." ”

"Can you tell me more about it?" Xiao Mao said that he was dissatisfied at first, but he just tried to suppress it, but now he has calmed down. After all, Lucario couldn't feel wrong, and the old man in front of him really had no ill will towards them, and even had good intentions. But if good faith is done in such a wrong way, it is likely to be misunderstood.

Joey was also a little dissatisfied, but obviously Xiao Mao was dealing with this matter more calmly than they were, and in this regard, Xiao Mao once again brushed his favorability in front of Miss Joey, although Xiao Mao didn't know anything about it, and even if he knew, he didn't care.

"In that case, I'll explain it to you. Hear me clearly, I want to tell you about the legends of this island. 'As soon as the island is destroyed and the red moon shines, the sea will be covered in darkness. When the time comes, a great catastrophe will happen. Tasho said in an excited tone the legend that has been circulating on this island. However, the crowd was puzzled, what could be the great disaster?

However, Tadosho told them, and he didn't know, it was a mystery, but there must be a tragedy if the island was destroyed.

Joey told him that he had misunderstood, that they didn't mean to destroy the island, they were just looking for the fossils of the Fossil Helmet. However, Tadosho completely disagreed with their actions and demanded that they leave the place immediately.

Naturally, Joey and the others refused to leave, after all, the fossils of the fossil helmet were not such a common thing. And Xiaoxia said bluntly, "When it comes to destroying the island, you let the big stones roll down the mountain, and the destruction is more violent than ours." ”

"So, yes, indeed. Ash said dumbfoundedly.

Xiao Mao praised Xiaoxia from the bottom of his heart, and did a good job.

Tian didn't expect Xiaoxia to say this, and in retrospect, it seems that it is true. But he also did this for their good, well, probably can be forgiven, right? Feeling that he couldn't seem to refute the other party's words, Tian Suo could only shout, "Don't be wordy, I won't listen to your crooked reasoning, and leave me immediately." ”

"If you want to insist on crooked reasoning, you haven't come up with any reasoning to prove that you are right, old man. Besides, why do we have to do this-for-tat? We are also doing scientific research for the sake of understanding the fossil helmet, and at the same time for the sake of human beings. There's no need for us to embarrass each other, what do you say?" Xiao Mao still looked at Tian Suo calmly. There is only one person in Tiansuo, and there are so many of them in the field, if they really want to come hard, with him as an old man, he will not be able to fight against their group of young and strong people.

Tian looked at Xiao Mao angrily, but Xiao Mao was still calm, persuading in a way that made people unable to give birth to disgust. After all, as researchers, they are the most confident debaters.

However, there is a word called Xiucai encountering soldiers, which is unreasonable. Tian said, no matter how good you say, I just don't allow it, so I should get out of here quickly.

Helpless, everyone can only give up and continue to talk to Tian Suo, what to do.

Soon, the cave where the fossil of the Fossil Helmet was found near Haikou, and the discoverer took Ash and Joey to the place where the fossilized helmet was issued.

Inside, I found that the walls of the cave were full of fossilized helmets. Tian looked at them with a happy look, but he couldn't feel happy.

Xiao Mao never thought that the entire cave was full of fossil helmets. Fossil helmets of fossils, caves, all. He seemed to remember that Ash had said it once, but he had forgotten what Ash had said. At this moment, they can only improvise, and when the excited archaeological team members were about to go outside to call the ironclad tyrannosaurus to come in and collect fossils, Tian Suo once again stood up to obstruct the archaeological team.

Just as the dispute resumed, the entire cave began to shake violently. When a puff of smoke passed, the Team Rocket trio appeared in front of everyone. The moment he saw the trio of Team Rocket, Xiao Mao had a bad premonition, because every time he met the three of Team Rocket, it must mean that things were going in the worst direction. Shigeru really wants to ask, Mewtwo. Isn't it usually far away when these three people feel it, why are they in front of them at this moment?

And Mewtwo seems to have been with Xiao Mao and their group for a long time, and they know Xiao Mao quite well, and they talked to Xiao Mao on time, but they didn't apologize and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to being slipped by them." Worse, though, are the fossils of what you call fossilized helmets. ’

'What do you mean, Mewtwo. Xiao Mao hurriedly asked in his heart, but Mewtwo ignored Xiao Mao, but Lucario couldn't stand it, and said to Xiao Mao, "Teacher, Mewtwo just said that it seems to sense that the group of fossil helmets is not dead. ’

What does it mean to be not dead? Fossil helmet, no death, the legend of immortality. Wait, they'd seen the Fossil Helmet before, when the Fire Dinosaur evolved into Charizard versus the Fossil Pterodactyl. Fossil pterosaurs, fossil helmets, not dead, alive. Shigeru's head was running rapidly, and at the same time, he thought of the legend that Tian had said before, natural disasters.

Natural disasters, red moons, and the destruction of small islands. Shigeru felt that he was about to get to the point, and just as Shigeru felt that he could solve the puzzle of the legend that Tian was talking about, the sound of a bomb sounded in his ears. A huge hole appeared at the top of their roof, and the three of Team Rocket were standing on the fossilized helmet they had collected, slowly rising, about to leave the place.

At this moment, Xiao Mao understood what was going on, and hurriedly shouted, "Don't let them leave here with fossil helmets, the moment the island was destroyed, the moment the fossil helmets were destroyed, I don't know what was going on when I saw the sky, the red moon, but the group of fossil helmets probably woke up! Wait, so many fossil helmets, why does awakening mean a natural disaster? Fossil helmets, the cave is full of fossil helmets... The ground is also... Could it be that the whole island is made up of fossil helmets?"

"Xiao Jian, can you go and see if there are still fossilized helmets, Miss Joy, please inform us that we need to make a bamboo raft." Xiao Mao suddenly remembered that Xiao Zhi said that when the Orange Alliance, Fula Island 4 disappeared.

"Xiao Mao, you mean that the fossil helmet will be resurrected and the island will disappear?" Joey repeated as he looked at Xiao Mao, who looked a little flustered.

"Yes, most likely. Don't bother Team Rocket, we're more dangerous now, get out of here. The legend that the old man said before, I think I have unraveled. It's a red moon outside. Xiao Mao hurriedly said, they have no time, they don't know when the fossil helmets will all wake up, and now they can only try their best to grab time with the fossil helmets awakening.

After hearing Xiao Mao's words, Tian immediately said, "I said a long time ago that you can't destroy the island, and you people just don't listen to the old man. ”

"Xiao Mao, there is indeed a fossil helmet here, but are you sure it will wake up?" Xiao Jian still didn't want to believe that this had become a fossil, and the dead creatures that could no longer die would be 'resurrected' again.

"Ash, do you remember that we encountered a fossil pterosaur before, and the fossil pterosaur in Dasha Valley was also determined to be extinct, but it was indeed alive. Xiao Mao looked at Xiao Zhi, and Xiao Zhi immediately thought of the fossil pterosaur he was still thinking about subduing before, and nodded.

"Ah, the moon has really turned red. "Escaping from the cave, everyone found that the moon had turned red. The legend is verified step by step.

'Teacher, you'd better act quickly, the fossil helmet captured by Team Rocket has been revived. Lucario's words made Shigeru understand that time was running out.

"Let's go up and run to the heights, and then tie up all the trees as fast as we can, and make a raft. Shigeru's thoughts sparked Tasho's recollections, and he remembered the second half of the legend: "Flee to the forest!" When disaster strikes, you must hide in the forest and make a bamboo raft to be rescued." ”

The island is sinking little by little, and a group of people are racing against time to survive. Xiao Mao hadn't rested well before, and at this moment, under this kind of high-intensity work, his body was vaguely unbearable.

Ash accidentally bumped into Shigeru when he turned around, and almost knocked Shigeru down. Hurriedly asked Xiao Mao what was wrong.

Xiao Mao shook his head, indicating that he was fine. It's just that I haven't rested well, and I'm a little hypoglycemic. After that, it will be okay to have a good rest, so I plan to continue to help. Ash hurriedly grabbed it, pointed to the girl's side and said, "You go over there to help rest for a while, I'll be with the moon elves here." After speaking, he didn't care about Xiao Mao, and continued to process.

Xiao Mao rubbed his forehead, although Xiao Zhi, this kid rarely knows that he is distressed, uh, probably distressed. But this is not the time to rest, Xiao Mao patted his face, let himself be a little more energetic, and continued to work.

The raft is being prepared quickly, but the island is also falling rapidly. Visible detachment, collapse. The shadow of death is drawing near them. Just as the sea washed ashore, the bamboo raft was ready. Everyone climbed onto the bamboo raft, and the four of them took out their own water elves to pull the bamboo raft.

When the island sank completely, they escaped, and the island behind it had disappeared under the surface of the sea, and in the original place of the island, countless fossilized helmets floated.

And seeing this scene, the legend that Tian Suo said before was completely solved. The sea will be shrouded in darkness, referring to the fossil helmets that almost hide the surface of the sea.

And seeing the scene in front of him, Joey finally knew that Tian was really good for them. Joey sincerely apologized to Tasho, who forgave them. He also apologized to them, after all, the way he stopped them before was too barbaric and rude.

Xiao Mao thought about it for a while, and still said to Joey, "Immortality itself is an obsession that humans should not have. Every living thing has rules that every living thing needs to follow to live on the planet. Fossil helmets will go to the next island where they will continue to sleep. ”

"You're probably right, Mao. Joey looked at Mao, who shook his head and didn't say anything. But shaking his head made his head hurt even more. I didn't get the fossil data of the first-hand fossil helmet that I wanted to get, and my body was still so uncomfortable, and sure enough, nothing good happened when I saw the three guys from Team Rocket.

"Xiao Mao..." Xiao Zhi looked at Xiao Mao, Xiao Mao was really in a bad state at the moment. You know, they're at sea right now, and if something happens, they can't solve it at all. Especially Xiao Mao, who has always been well prepared for them, once something happens. Xiao Mao naturally knew that in this vast sea, if he fell down due to physical reasons, Xiao Zhi would definitely be impatient and flustered.

"I'm really fine, I just haven't rested well. Don't worry about me. However, Shigeru's words were interrupted by Ash, "I always say that I won't take care of myself, do you really take care of yourself?" Ash took off his hat, reached out and pulled Xiaomao, and put the foreheads of the two people together. Xiao Mao was completely stunned, and it was only then that he vaguely felt that he seemed to have a fever.

"You're fine, you're obviously having a fever. Ash looked at this Xiao Mao who had been saying that it was okay, and he was about to explode in anger. But the person concerned touched his head a little dazedly and said, "It's okay." ”

Xiao Xia, who was embarrassed to speak because of the ambiguous atmosphere of these two people, was finally able to interject at this moment, "Xiao Mao, you seem to be burning very tightly now, do you want to lie down first?"

"Yes. Wake me up when it's time to separate from Joey and them. Xiao Mao rummaged through his backpack, took out cold medicine, took two tablets and fell asleep on Xiao Zhi's lap. I was already lacking sleep, and I was drenched in seawater, blowing a sea breeze all the way. It's strange if you don't catch a cold, right?

At dawn, after Ash sent Joey and the others back to the ship, he immediately said goodbye to Joey and the others. They will go to the next island as fast as they can, and Xiao Mao's burn, after it descended, it burned up again, and now they have taken medicine, and then they have come down again. But if you continue to toss like this, you are afraid that it will burn out, so you immediately put a few clothes on Xiao Mao's body to avoid blowing the sea breeze, and at the same time pay attention to changing Xiao Mao's hand towels to cool down and avoid the suffering of burning breathing.

Along the way, Ash, who has always been arrogant, took care of Xiao Mao carefully, without the help of others. Xiaoxia and Xiaojian couldn't help but think when they saw that Xiao Zhi did it himself, from not knowing how to do it at all, to becoming more and more handy. In fact, no matter how much Ash complains, Xiaomao has always been the most important person in Ash's heart.

After Mewtwo and Lucario returned, they saw that the relationship between the four of them was sluggish, and even the Moon Elf, who had always been experienced and steady, couldn't help but start to flick their tails impatiently. In the end, Mewtwo couldn't stand it anymore, and took the initiative to take Ash and his party to the nearest island with a hospital to treat Xiaomao.
