Into the night –

The drizzle of rain adds a touch of cyberpunk sci-fi to Rainbow City, a neon-lit entertainment capital.

At this moment—

At a bus stop on the side of the street, the lover quietly looked at the hurried flow of people on the opposite overpass plank road with a dumb beast in his arms.

The dumb beast with its chin hanging on his arms shook its little brain from side to side comfortably.

Lucario stood quietly beside his beloved, his red eyes observing the people who were hurrying by.

From time to time, the waveguide radiates out, senses if there is a hostile presence around it, and earnestly fulfills its duties as a guard.

"Snort~"

"Purr ......"

Instead of going straight home, the lover took a bus to the city library to visit the director: Mrs. Smith.

This is his habit all along, he has been away from home for too long, and as long as he returns to Rainbow City, he will visit the library.

Sit down together to eat some cookies, drink some tea, and talk to each other about many things that are inconvenient to talk to your family.

Regardless of whether there is doubt in my heart or not, every time I talk to this old woman who is as wise as an owl nighthawk, I feel that my lover will benefit a lot.

As for how to go next and how to plan for the future, these questions will become very clear in my head.

School is going to start tomorrow, and he has experienced a lot of things on this Fangyuan trip, and he wants to find someone to talk to.

"Thank you for your patronage and look forward to your next visit!!"

After going to the dessert shop and bringing the old woman some cookies and rock crust cakes that she liked.

The lover went to the library to visit the old lady Smith.

With the improvement of strength, the lover is full of confidence in the future, and it is difficult to see in him the confusion that a teenager of this age should have.

Arriving at the city library, Old Lady Smith's owl Nighthawk led him up to the sixth floor of the library.

It has been raining since the evening, and the temperature has dropped a bit.

When we met, the old woman, dressed in a dark burqa, was sitting on a chair and flipped through a tome, and was obviously very happy to see her beloved come to visit the old woman.

"I haven't seen you for a vacation, but you have grown a lot." Seeing that the young man's eyes were firm, and his gestures were full of confidence, the old woman smiled kindly.

"Teacher~"

The lover greeted the old woman respectfully.

"Come, sit down and talk to my old woman for a while."

The old woman turned around and took a cup from the cupboard and poured him a cup of hot black tea.

Then he put a few cookies and rock cakes brought by his lover on a plate and put them on the coffee table between the two chairs.

"Hmm~"

The lover took the tea from the old woman, sat down in a chair, and handed a cookie to the dumb beast in his arms and Lucario beside him.

The old woman pushed the half-moon-shaped chained glasses on the bridge of her nose, and her deep, wise gray-blue eyes looked at him, as if waiting for him to speak.

“……”

“……”

During the summer vacation, the lover experienced a lot of things, and a few of them made him more concerned.

Hunter J is one of them, and the bird tamers of Yinyu City summon a projection of the divine bird through sacrifices.

The power of the bloodline of the vine snake and the meaning of the token given by the divine beast to the human trainer...... These beloveds are very curious.

The lover didn't know what the old woman's strength was, but her erudition made the lover really admire.

Under the dim old-fashioned lamp, the old woman listened quietly to the young man's narration, listening to the young man's bold guesses and answers to these questions.

When you communicate with people who are full of wisdom, you will gradually become wise.

In the dim light, the clear eyes of the lover seemed to be glowing.

The maroon crystal is like a piece of amber, and the dark golden pupils are like the precipitation and condensation of wisdom.

"You are a child who loves to ask and think, and your keen intuition and insight can often help you find the answers to your questions."

"This kind of ability and quality is very valuable, you must know that in fact, many geniuses who are praised by the outside world do not have this."

Looking at the teenager in front of him, Smith had a kind smile on his face.

"Light and darkness are like the relationship between night and day, and the brighter the world, the more darkness there is on its back."

"Darkness is not evil in itself, it is just a breeding ground for evil."

Older people like to start their conversations with words that have profound philosophical meanings and life principles.

The beloved, accustomed to the old woman's way of talking, was not the slightest impatient, and sat quietly as a listener.

From time to time, I wiped the cookie crumbs from the mouth with a paper towel for the dumb beast, waiting for the old woman's next words.

"As for the elven hunter named J, your mother has also contacted me before, so you don't have to worry about her revenge on your family."

Seeing the worry in her beloved's heart, the old woman's wise gray-blue eyes under her glasses winked at her beloved.

She promised her lover that she would secretly take care of his family, so that he didn't have to worry, and his lover would instantly understand.

The old woman came to visit her, and when she talked about the hunter J, she took the initiative to express her concerns.

The purpose of the lover was to let this mysterious old woman with a mysterious identity and strength help take care of his family.

Although the old brother Momoya and the old mother Ryoko told him not to worry about the hunter J, the lover still felt that he had to do something to feel at ease.

"The Pokémon world is huge, and human eyes can see through some things, but it is impossible to see all the secrets.

"The family of bird trainers has been passed down for thousands of years, and I am afraid that no one outside except their ancestors knows whether the sacred birds really exist or are imagined by them."

"But the projection of the Divine Bird is obviously the same as you guessed, and it is a vision produced by spiritual resonance."

……

"The bloodline of the rattan snake is a problem, in fact, don't be imprisoned by the theory of the breeder."

"Since the vine snake is able to perform the "Bubble Sigh", there is no doubt that its parents or further up must have the existence of the Western Lion Sea Ridge among them."

"This uniqueness is a gift from nature and fate, and you should use this power to good use."

……

"As for the deeper meaning of the token given by the divine beast to the human, this is actually the same as the human subjugation of the elves."

"Humans need to use the power of elves, and elves need to borrow the power of humans, so the two sides will enter into a partnership."

"This principle also applies to mythical beasts, after all, they are also Pokémon, but stronger and more mysterious."

Knowing that her lover had been chosen by Lokia, the old woman also showed a look of surprise on her face.

Humans who can be favored by legendary Pokémon must have rare qualities.

Throughout human civilization and history, such human beings have often done great things and achieved outstanding achievements.

"Teacher, you are saying that the reason why Lokia gave me a token may be that the other party may need to use my strength?"

The old woman's words made the lover fall into deep thought, a super divine beast like Lokia needed his strength.

What power does he have? With the strength of his Pokémon, what can he do for Lokia.

"Don't be presumptuous, although humans do not have supernatural abilities like elves, our power here cannot be ignored."

The old woman tapped her finger to her temples and then to her heart.

"Is it a unique human power?" The lover pondered: "It seems that this world is not as simple as imagined, even the divine beasts need to ask humans for help. ”
