In the forest.
Next to a tall tree, a silver-haired boy fell asleep, his brow furrowed slightly, as if he was not sleeping very comfortably, as if he had dreamed of something bad. Beside him lay a Lucario, and like the boy, the power of the waveguide around Lucario was beating a little disorderly, and its hands were unconsciously clenched and relaxed.
Not far from the boy and Lucario, there is a stunner who is sleeping sweetly by the burning campfire with a tree fruit in his arms.
"Let's go find the key thing." A girl with short blue hair slowly walked out of the darkness of the forest, and it seemed that she had been there all along, "This is the last. ”
"Do you think this teenager can really do it?" A soft voice sounded from the bottom of the girl's heart, and the voice had an ethereal flavor, "Although he has a different feeling in him, he is only an outsider after all. ”
"It doesn't matter if he can do it or not, but now it's just him, isn't it?" The girl's expressionless face finally fluctuated, and a faint sadness appeared between her eyebrows, "Your strength is almost impossible to maintain." ”
"Alas~" The voice sighed, revealing a sense of powerlessness in his tone, "It's about to dawn, you might as well retreat into the depths of the forest now." ”
As if to confirm the voice, the sky through the branches slowly turned a light blue, very light, very light, and in the blink of an eye, a red glow appeared on the horizon, slowly expanding its range, strengthening its light, and the sun was about to rise from the sky.
"What a magnificent dawn." The girl glanced nostalgically at the infinite light of the sun in the sky, whispered an unknown haiku, and slowly retreated to the dark part of the forest, "Don't talk about the cold ...... the world because you haven't waited for the sun to be warm."
……
On the avenue from Masago Town to Zhuqing City.
A girl with long pink hair hanging down her waist was holding a simple hand-drawn map, observing the surroundings, sometimes looking up, sometimes looking down at the drawings in her hand.
"Hey, the good adventure is about to begin." This girl is naturally the one who heard the rumors of the strange town yesterday, and after she used the family's intelligence system, she also found this town, but the strange thing is that even with the intelligence network of the Jingu clan, you can only find the name of the town, and you can't find anything about the past and present of this town.
The name of this town on the information is Pulig, it's hard to imagine that there is such a town with a strange name in the Sinnoh region, just check the name of the town, but the adventurous infinitely eagle can't manage so much, and after comparing the previous map with the current map, the approximate location of this town was determined.
"Well, this should be it." After spotting a decaying stake of some age, the Wagtail nodded and cleared the path that had been hidden by weeds next to the stake.
There is a wooden sign next to the path that reads "Pulig Town", because of the passage of time, there is also a reason why no one has come to replace this wooden sign, and the words on the wooden sign have been blurred to the point that they are still faintly legible.
The path is a little potholed, but for the eagle with rich adventure experience, she has not walked a hundred or eighty of this kind of path.
Since becoming famous as a singer in the Western Hemisphere, the Wagtail doesn't have a lot of time to take risks, so he just has enough fun this time.
Walking through this path, stepping out of the forest, it is as if you have seen a new continent, and the wide field of vision has changed from the narrowness of the forest path.
A small town with a strong breath of time appeared in front of the wheat, the houses here are all in the style that was popular 30 years ago, and the ground of the entire town is paved with seamless bluestone slabs, some places are broken, and some damp places are even mossed, revealing a slight coolness.
The doors of the houses in the town are all closed, and there is no sign of human life, and there is no sign of the elves being active.
At the end of the owl's line of sight, a tall bell tower stood in the middle of the town, the hands on which were slowly turning, pointing to the Roman numerals on the clock dial, and there was no sound except for the faint sound of the "tick-tock" pointers, and the whole town seemed to be dead.
"Looks like I've found it." An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of the duck's mouth, like a ripple on its face, which quickly swept across its face, and then condensed into two sparks in its eyes, and disappeared into the depths of the eye waves in an instant.
"Bell!" The hour hand fell on the "X" on the turntable, and the sound of the bell spread throughout the town very quickly, and the bell seemed to have a different kind of magic, like a spike pierced in the brain, so that she had a moment of trance, and her consciousness began to drift away.
Just when the duck was about to lose consciousness at the bell, a dazzling colorful light flashed in her eyes, as if a pool of clear water was approaching, and the watery chill made the duck's consciousness regain its consciousness.
"Huh~" The wreath patted his head with his hand, a little afraid, "This clock tower is really powerful, I almost caught the road by accident, the rumors that the person said are really not nonsense, fortunately, Miss Ben is not a vegetarian." ”
"I'm going to see what's so strange about this clock tower." Looking at the clock tower that was signaling the time in the distance, the eagle's heart came alive, and he took a step towards the clock tower slowly.
"Little girl, stop your steps, or you will die." An old voice rang out behind the owl as he was about to make his way to the clock tower.
“!” The wheather stopped in the old man's words, his eyes full of horror, "This clock tower is attracting me to the past, and I have actually been tricked again." ”
Just now, the bell of the clock tower was quietly connected to the spiritual power of the Flycatcher, blinding the perception of the Flycatcher's superpower, and guiding the Flyer to the Clock Tower.
"Thank you, old man." The Wagtail quickly turned, and in her field of vision appeared an old man with gray hair, mottled in color like a zebra.
"No thanks, outsider." The old man was on a cane, and the texture on the crutches seemed to have been smoothed out because of the use of the cane for a long time, and he walked slowly, as if he was taking a walk, "Come with me, after this time, you can't get out of this town." ”
"Grandpa, is this the town of Pulig?" The owl had a slight affection for the old man who had saved him just now, and asked as he kept up with the old man's pace.
"The town of Pliger? What are you talking about, girl?" The old man's hand on crutches shook slightly, but he immediately regained his composure, and then looked at the frog in some surprise, and he didn't look like he had ever heard of the word "Prieger" in her mouth, "This place is obviously called Twilight Cloud Town." ”
