Aster is an ominous purple color. Since ancient times, it has been the final destination of the monsters and Pokémon bred by the people of Sekijo, and is regarded as a link between the living and the dead, and even as an underworld on earth.

Aster is also the noble color of blue purple. The ancient religious beliefs of Sekijo, which have gathered here and are firmly rooted here, still hold people's minds and control their actions from the depths of their hearts, and these so-called mortals, who have not been deeply affected by the great changes of the times, still look down on the ignorant mortals and vulgar people, and laugh at them with mocking expressions as they crawl in the red dust.

Even though he is also a relic of the old era, Merlin deeply despises these sub-gods and liars.

But now, Merlin, who was strolling through the misty darkness and coldness with his shoulders crossed, despised these guys even more because of what he was suffering, "If you can't choose a place to live, you have to stay in such a place!" Raising his frozen pale palm, a large cloud of warm white gas came out of his mouth, and then rubbed his palms fiercely, Merlin muttered to himself: "These bastards either occupy Xiufeng Meiling to enjoy happiness or stay in such a strange place to suffer, what does this polarization mean?!" Dragging his frozen, somewhat numb feet through the sparse woodland, Merlin's resentment was substantial.

Merlin's current location is Aster, of course, not Aster Town, but Aster Place in a broad sense. In addition to the many Pokémon Towers or Beast Towers and Spirit Bone Towers located in Aster Valley, the famous Aster Town is actually located in a valley - the locals call it Aster Valley. In addition to these two populated valleys, the most of the entire Aster area is the dark cold forest and rolling hills that Merlin is traversing.

The sparse black trees do not show much vitality and vitality even in spring, and the gray foliage is incomplete and depressed, as if it can be swept down by the breeze at any moment. The most growing on the ground are not weeds, but all kinds of ugly-looking dwarf mushrooms or thorny bushes. It's not that there is no greenery here, but you can't feel the power of life.

Walking here, you can hardly feel anything but the cold. This kind of cold is not a low temperature from the outside world, but more like an inexplicable feeling from the inside, as if something is secretly absorbing your heat and energy, and unconsciously, at any time and at any time, you will be violated and controlled by this cold.

With a trembling right hand, he took out a large piece of chocolate from his pocket, tore open the package with difficulty, and took a big bite of hard dark chocolate, feeling the bitterness and aroma of cocoa permeating between his lips and teeth, Merlin regained a little bit of vitality, chewed a few times and swallowed the chocolate in his mouth hard, and felt the food slip through the esophagus and fall into the stomach pouch before Merlin felt a trace of warmth. But he knew that this warmth would not last long, because he had already practiced it, and a piece of chocolate would last for ten minutes at most. And he was a little afraid to guarantee that the remaining chocolate would allow him to make it to Aster Town, because he had already consumed nearly half of the chocolate he had worked so hard to accumulate in order to cope with the previous journey.

"This place, this place, is stealing my life and robbing me of my vitality." Merlin muttered indignantly.

In order to ensure the safety of his companions, Merlin was traveling alone this time, and none of his companions were outside to accompany him, and they all supported him in Merlin's mind.

"Damn it! Is it really because the ability is restrained by the ghost? This is really outstanding! With the strength of a large piece of chocolate, Merlin struggled to move forward with great strides.

[No wonder this is a forbidden area for ability.] Wizil's tone was also a little weak, because of the high synchronization rate with Merlin, these two guys actually shared some feelings with each other in a certain way, [This continuous consumption of power is secondary, and this constant draining of body and vitality is the most dangerous ......] Especially in this environment, both of them are actually stealing their power from the ground under their feet at the same time.

[I finally left the insect domain, but I crashed into the ghost's arms again......] The ability-oriented Antli and Lingzi are not having a good time at the moment, [The old man's insect domain is uncomfortable enough, I didn't expect it to be even more uncomfortable here!] This is Reiko's complaint.

[Insects and ghosts are fundamentally different, ghosts act directly on our minds and slowly damage our bodies and steal our energy, insects are far less ...... so skillful] Antli explained, "I now hope that the town will be a little better, otherwise Merlin, you and Wizir will be sucked dry by this land if it continues like this. 】

I said, "If it's so dangerous here, why do we have to keep going?"] Duck made a suggestion, "Why don't we just change the route and leave this hellish place.] 】

[I'm really looking forward to this place...... Hepu teased his magnetic voice, [I've heard that the ghost department is very good at the different uses of dream eating and nightmares, and I think I need to have a deeper discussion with them. But only if you can't be here! He added viciously at the end.

【Sun...... Sunshine ......] Kuknas still uses an echoed trio to express his simple and complex opinions.

"Hold on!" Merlin, who had returned from feeling tired and cold again, suddenly shouted, "Hold on a little longer! According to our current degree, if the path and direction are not unexpected, we will be able to reach Ziyuan Town in two days at most! Hang on! Hang on! Merlin, who had been burning up for some reason, shouted.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Walking in the dark and cold forest, the ever-passing body and body temperature are the worst enemies, but the wild Pokémon that haunt them are just as dangerous.

The most popemon that haunt here are not the ghost system with a convenient environment, but the ordinary system, whether it is Lada and Little Lada, who dare to run around in groups in broad daylight, or the meowth and cat bosses who are gangs, they all give Merlin and his party a headache when they can't let go, of course, Merlin's headache is also indispensable to those flying bird Pokémon, and the threat from the sky should not be underestimated.

These guys with ordinary systems rely on their attributes to ignore the convenience of the ghost system, and they are rampant and domineering in the forest, and they are very powerful. Many times, Merlin had to choose to back down to avoid the limelight. Of course, more often than not, Merlin has to fight against these little ones who are crazy about food.

For example, Merlin is now blocked by a gang of cat bosses.

Common sense says that cat bosses rarely form gangs with each other, because these arrogant guys have a hard time allowing themselves to be commanded by their own kind, and they often prefer to command a group of meows as their subordinates. But this group of nine cat bosses is obviously a special case, they not only become a team, but also seem to cooperate tacitly.

When they leap out of the dwarf, lurking bushes in a semi-circle and clamp Merlin's path to the death, Merlin understands that this is a fight to the death. Although many of these noble predators have become pets of humans because of their hair and forehead gems, they are real killers in their pure wild state, dangerous and vigorous predators.

The boss of the nine cats stubbornly guarded his position, whimpering and snorting in his mouth, pacing his body silently from time to time, but his eyes were fixed on Merlin. They seem to be figuring out what to say.

Merlin didn't move, he was secretly calculating his side's response and win rate. The nine cat bosses in front of them were obviously not fleshy feet, whether it was their oily and slippery fur, the huge glittering gems on their foreheads, or their strong and perfect muscles, all of which showed their good combat effectiveness and high level, and their slowly shrinking encirclement and their respective brewing offensives also showed that they were eager to go to war.

The cat boss needs extra attention when his tail is stretched out, as this is a precursor to their impending attack. And in the face of the nine cats that had already raised their tails, Merlin, the boss, was naturally the prey they were about to kill.

[This time it's tricky......] Merlin felt a little bitter taste in his mouth, [It's not that he can't win......] Merlin continued to look around at the nine cat bosses, [It's just that the best is just a miserable victory...... That's a bit too much......] Just as Merlin hesitated, his left hand subconsciously touched the wrist of his right hand. It's been a little uncomfortable lately, because Merlin has just recently managed to tie a rope to the smoke ball he had seized earlier. But since it was the first time she had worn something on her wrist, Merlin would always feel a little unaccustomed to it, and occasionally subconsciously touch it.

As soon as his fingertips touched the small ball of smoke, Merlin's eyes lit up, and [although he was a little embarrassed to escape......] he grinned.

The boss of the nine cats suddenly rushed up to Merlin at the same time with a tacit understanding, and they all raised their claws that flashed with various cold lights, as if they decided to take Merlin into pieces on the spot.

It only takes a little conscious energy to touch the smoke ball, and it will automatically and instantaneously release the smoke generated in it, which is difficult to disperse and has a strong irritation. Merlin used a little bit of power to stir up the smoke ball tied to his wrist, and immediately enveloped himself and the nine cat bosses who pounced on him in a thick gray-white mist.

"Meow~~"

"Hmm~~~"

"Hiss~~"

From time to time there was the angry chirping of the cat boss in the smoke, and it was clear that they were remorseful and complaining because they had lost their prey.

And Merlin, who took advantage of the smoke to break out of the encirclement, began to tiptoe around the smoke and the cat boss who was trapped in it.

But he had barely walked a few steps when a cat burst out of the smoke, and the boss stopped him again, and then one after another, nine cat bosses jumped out of the fog area and surrounded Merlin again, this time they surrounded him solidly.

Looking at the cat boss who was grinning at him with a fierce face and a tail erected, Merlin smiled bitterly, "p1an_B." As he spoke, two high-level balls fell from his hands, one left and one right, with a pair of crossed blades tattooed on the right and a pair of crossed scissors tattooed on the left.

At the same time that the ball began to fall out of his hand, the nine cat bosses also hugged each other tacitly again.

“netg！” Merlin said lightly, "Is it Bidu or Sharp?" ...... whatever you want."

From the two white lights that flashed from under his feet, several cold cold lights flashed and collided violently with the claw marks of the cat bosses......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Shion Town is not a big town, although it has a long history, it has always been very small, and the total population of the town has always remained only about two or three thousand, and most of them have lived here for generations and rarely go out. It's not a major traffic artery, and there are no gyms or facilities that can attract people, so the desertion and silence on this side of Ziyuan Town is completely predictable.

The closer he got to this desolate town that seemed a little decadent, Merlin felt a lot more relieved, the feeling of being stolen from the town had disappeared as he approached the town, and the long-lost warmth and strength began to fill his body again, and even the mood that had been suppressed became cheerful at the same time.

Most of the buildings in Ziyuan Town still retain the wooden architectural style of the old era of Guancheng, among which there are a few stone buildings in the Nanban style mixed sporadically, and there are only a few reinforced concrete buildings with a strong modern atmosphere, the most conspicuous of which is one red and one blue. The Red Top is naturally a Pokémon hub that has opened all over the world, and the Blue Top is of course a friendly store all over the Alliance. In addition to these two buildings, in the northeast corner of Ziyuan Town, there is also a steel concrete building that has been half constructed, although it is only about half built, but its height has long surpassed the entire Ziyuan Town. I just don't know why such a tall building was built in such a place.

After tidying up his clothes and grooming a little, tidying up his mood again, and finally getting his credit cards and banknotes ready, Merlin was eager to replenish his inventory before embarking on Aster's adventure. The consumption of several journeys and the expenses on Mr. Zang's side have put Merlin's huge reserves 6 into an uneasy situation, and it is absolutely necessary to replenish them vigorously.

With his chest held high and taking a big stride, Merlin walked into the deserted town of Aster, aiming first for the Friendship Store and various local shops in Aster Town.

Merlin, who was treading through his purchase list, didn't realize that he had been firmly locked by a few strange pairs of eyes since he entered Aster Town.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

At the same time that Merlin was enthusiastically carrying out the big purchase, in the central hinterland of Ziyuan Town, an old man with a leaning body and a silver face was trembling towards a mansion with the help of several young people and walking sticks.

After helping the old man through the gate, one of the young men said, "Mr. Fuji, you can finally return to your peaceful life. ”

The young man who spoke was wearing a black windbreaker, he was a little thin and thin one meter seven meters tall, and for some reason many new and old scars of different shades were added to his originally handsome face, showing a bit of murder and heroism, but the tone of his speech was a little lazy and not very matching.

The old man who was called Fuji nodded slowly, and said in a slow tone, "A peaceful life? I don't think so......" He looked up at the misty town of Aster with cloudy eyes, "I just want to atone for my sins now, and try my best to atone for my previous actions in the rest of my life, in the days I live......"

"You're worrying too much." The young man smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "Please don't think too much about it, just leave it to us." He bowed deeply to the old man, "Then please rest more and pay attention to your body, we will take our leave first......" Several young people behind him also bowed to the old man.

The old man bowed slowly, returned the salute, walked into the mansion, turned around, and closed the door.

"Captain Yao, this Fuji ......," a young man said suddenly.

"It's Mr. Fuji." Yao grinned and corrected his men's disrespect.

"Yes. It's Mr. Fuji......" the young man immediately changed, "is he really worthy of our team here to protect him?" The current Guancheng is so chaotic, as an important combat force of the alliance, we don't go to the front line, but ...... here," the young man's tone revealed a trace of unwillingness.

"Well, I'm not sure if it's worth it." Yao put his hands in his pockets and said lazily, "I only know that the personal instructions from Mr. Wataru strictly ordered me to take good care of Mr. Fuji. It's like the kind of thing where he was kidnapped by the Rocket Legion and then rescued by a newcomer who had just debuted, and he is definitely not allowed to have a second time! ”

"Yes!" The rest of the young people took orders one after another.

"Ahh It's really hard to take a break~~~" Yao, who returned to a lazy posture again, swayed his body and left Fuji's mansion with crooked steps.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Dala~~ Brother Xiaodao's Yao appears again~~ By the way, Fuji's plot is connected~

Then, by the way, I would like to ask: What is the building under construction in Ziyuan Town? Friendly reminder: This setting is from the Gold and Silver Crystal game......
