The deep space is as silent as night, and there is not a single light in sight...... A shadow wandered among them, without making a sound, until he saw the starlight at the end of the darkness.

"Are you back to square one?" , The black shadow said helplessly, with the help of the speckled starlight, showing his appearance, like a black suit like hair color, his eyes are sharp, and his almost perfect facial features have a trace of rebellion that does not dissolve in the world~

In the only light film in the entire space, a young man with the same appearance as a black shadow slowly walked out, but his calm temperament was half as deep as the starry sky, which was out of reach.

"It's really hard for you, under my influence, you can still maintain your own will without being devoured, it is worthy of my symbiotic soul...... Stars of Light", the black-haired boy pulled up a smile with a hint of disappointment~

"You're in a bad mood...... Xingchen said softly, his eyes under the silver hair were like a pool of clear water, and he couldn't make waves. What happened, Shadow? ”

"Why should I sue you?" , Shadow snorted and frowned, "Then if you want to know, just devour me?" So you'll be able to read my memory~"

"I can't do it", Xingchen shook his head and said, "You can't do it either......"

"Hmph~ verbose", Ying pouted, in this world, those who can reprimand each other in this tone will not exceed the number of five fingers~

"Every time I see your expression, I can't lift my spirit," said Ei, "You should already know what will happen after that."

"Three-stage awakening" Xingchen said slowly,

Luo Yu, the remnant of the divine vein, did not grow on the premise of physical development, as a special alien, Luo Yu's trainer relied on the awakening of the divine blood in the body to grow. After feeling the power of the bloodline for the first time, the body will develop to the size of an ordinary person about ten years old, which is called a 'period of awakening', and it is also a period when almost every falling feather can pass safely. But after that, as the awakening of the innate power becomes higher and higher, they will face a real life-and-death juncture - the 'second stage awakening', the blood force that was originally swimming in the body has accumulated enough to produce a qualitative change of Cheng dù, the body is transformed, turning it into the strongest., and then entering the maturity period, and the body is fixed at the age of sixteen. It can be said that there are many benefits, but if you can't get through it, your body will be destroyed by the power of the bloodline first, and it will turn into dust~

Historically, the recorded feather trainers are all amazing people who have completed the second stage of awakening, and only they can truly redevelop the power of the divine beast, that is, the legendary skill - the second stage of divine power!

The difference is from all the divine power of the divine beast itself, and the mature falling feather can also use the divine power, and if the divine power of the falling feather is blessed on the body of the holding divine beast, it will expand the power limit of the divine beast in disguise. It's like a container that, after increasing its volume, can also instill more power. Of course, if the trainer of the falling feather dies or is unable to fight, the second stage of Kamui will naturally not be restored, and the power of the divine beast will fall back to the original point.

However, the apex of the falling feather is not only the 'second stage', in the battle of land and sea, the stars who barely survived the 'second stage awakening', after a long period of recuperation, gradually stabilized their strength, so that the body successfully entered the maturity period...... Of course, this also leads to changes in the shadow's body......

Because of this, this body could not continue to accommodate the two half-souls...... There is only one road ahead of us - integration......

"From this day forward, there will be no stars of light...... There is no shadow of darkness anymore," Shadow said lightly, "Integrating my power, this body will undergo unprecedented changes, and it will be heading towards the end of the falling feather after the 'Second Stage Awakening'......"

"I know that only the first generation of falling feathers can reach the realm, the third stage of awakening" Xingchen stretched out his hand, and four white crystals condensed in his palm, "This is my spatial ability......"

"I'm sorry, my abilities aren't here," Shadow said as he saw what was in Xingchen's hand.

"What is it that makes you do this?" After taking a deep look at the eyeshadow, Xingchen said slowly, "If you don't have the ability, your soul will probably be devoured by me, instead of fusing ......."

"If you can do it, try it," Ying said lightly, "if you don't think about the consequences......

"It's not helpful to talk too much...... Let's get started", Xingchen clenched his fingers, pinched the white crystal, and burst into a strong light, wrapping himself up with the shadow.

The dark space, illuminated by a huge ball of light,

Outside, in the Sinnoh area, in an unknown building, the young man lying on top of Simmons seemed to struggle for a moment, and let Sirona, who was standing by the window, immediately come over.

However, to her disappointment, the boy did not struggle soberly, as if it was just her delusion.

"Bang Bang~", there was a knock on the door in the room, and a trainer with an explosive head walked closer,

"What's the matter, Daye?" Shirona asked,

"Sirona, the alliance headquarters has sent someone" Daye sighed and said, "It seems that they are the old immortals of the Ministry of Punishment~"

"Xing Zhibu?" Sirona frowned slightly, this is a bit of trouble...... The three departments of the alliance headquarters, the Imperial Department that advocates 'peace with people' and the Ministry of Sin who advocates 'treating people with quietness' did not respond, and Xing Zhibu, who is the only one who 'controls people with force', came...... Could it be that he has subdued too many divine beasts...... Finally upsetting the Alliance HQ?

"Let's take a look" Sirona tucked the corners of her back for the boy on the bed, and walked out with Daye.

Walking through to the living room, I saw more than a dozen trainers in green police uniforms standing respectfully behind an old man.

His eyebrows were white, and the old man's wrinkled skin, though no longer lustre, was extremely clean, and his washed gray shirt was smooth without a trace of wrinkles.

Just from the first impression, Sirona can roughly judge that the other party is a stereotypical old man. Maybe it was the arrival of Shirona and Daya, the old man finally moved, raised his head and looked at the two,

The majestic gaze made Daye's body shake slightly, and then fell on Sirona,

"Hello, I don't know which elder of the council...... I actually have time to come here as a guest" Sirona bent slightly towards the old man, showing a little respect, and sat on the sofa opposite the old man with Daye.

"Sinnoh Champion...... Very good", the old man praised it, and then the tall trainer next to him immediately stepped forward and handed the business card to Sirona and Daye,

Council of the Coalition - Between Sentences, Nikok Suran.

Sulan ...... Sirona's face changed as if she had thought of something, but she quickly recovered.

"Old Mr. Nikoke is here?"

"Pick him up...... Sent to the headquarters of the alliance" Nikok did not hide the purpose and said bluntly.

"IMHO, can you guarantee his safety?" Sirona took a deep breath and asked.

Glancing at Sirona in surprise, Nikok shook his head,

"Can't...... The Imperial Ministry's investigation into him is not over yet......" Nikoke said, he didn't seem to be deceiving the other party, it didn't make sense. Because this kind of thing can be figured out with a little inquiry......

"I'm so sorry...... I can't agree to your request" Sirona knew in her heart, the alliance was still not very relieved that he had mastered too many divine beasts......

"Are you serious?" It's not that Nikok didn't expect the other side to refuse, but he was not very happy that a regional champion would disobey the demands of the league's headquarters......

"That's right," Sirona's expression remained unchanged, "if you don't have anything else...... Please go back, and if you feel tired, we at Sinnoh will also take care of it. ”

Slightly surprised, he glanced at Sirona, Daye never thought that in the past, the Wenxun Sirona would show such a strong side, and he didn't even give face to the alliance headquarters.

"I hope you'll think about it seriously...... I'll stay here for a few days......" Nikok said slowly, standing up slowly. The other party is a regional champion, even if he does something unreasonable, he has to endure it...... You know, the ...... that can make the council reconsider its decision There are only a few people in a region, and the champion is one of them......

"You still don't have to think about it...... Just leave him to us......"

The door suddenly opened, putting the trainers beside Nikok on guard, and even Shirona and Daya touched the Poké Ball on their waists.

Dressed in a white dress, the girl * walked elegantly and calmly, but at the age of fifteen or sixteen, she already showed the appearance of a fallen city...... The long dark green hair falls shoulder to shoulder, the watery eyes and the straight nose under the eyebrows, and the plump lips, the flawless appearance can even be compared to Sirona...... However, unlike Sirona, this girl has an obsessive and tranquil aura...... As if it could calm the world,

Sensing the gaffes of his subordinates, Nikoke coughed lightly, annoyed.

The subordinates who finally turned around heard the next sentence of the chief, and their brains immediately cooled, and they shook a little hard......

"I didn't expect it...... The noble daughter of the Royal Academy, the next dean will come here......" Nikoke frowned deeply,

The Lady of the Royal Academy?!!! Everyone present was a trainer who knew a lot of secrets, how terrifying would it be for an institution that could compete with the Elven Alliance and an academy that had more than 10,000 high-quality resources to master more than 10,000 people...... And among them, enjoy all the resources, the pearl of the dean's palm, how respectable will the identity be...... This answer extinguished the hearts of countless people present...... What is left is only bitterness and fear~

"If I heard me right, what you just said was to pick up the child?"

"That's right" the girl raised her head, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and pulled up a smile that made everyone lose their minds, "I'm here to pick up my fiancé...... Uncle Nikoke, any questions? ”

Fiance?!!

Everyone, including Sirona and Nikoke, only felt as if their hearts had been kneaded and stepped on a few times by a big hand...... Many of them, looking at the room behind Sirona, had a hint of jealousy.

"Xiaoxue...... Are you serious? Nikoke covered his chest lightly, no wonder he was surprised, but in fact, the other party's action was too unexpected...... "Your father and mother, do they also agree?"

"What Miss means, is what we mean by the Royal Academy......", behind Xiaoxue, a pair of god-like sisters and brothers walked out, wearing the same sky blue shirt and denim, and their general appearance was outstanding. The only difference is in hair color, the younger brother has sky blue hair, but the sides of his cheeks are dark red...... My sister is the opposite of my brother, her hair is dark red, and only the sides of her cheeks are sky blue.

However, what caught Nikoke and Sirona's attention at this time was not the outstanding appearance of the siblings, but the golden badge on the collar of the other party, like a condensed version of the book mark, which was quietly staying in the collar of the siblings at this time.

"gold*index......" Daye took a deep breath and said slowly, "This golden coat of arms should only be qualified to be worn by the top ten forbidden trainers......

Slightly surprised, they glanced at Daye, the sister and brother looked at Xiaoxue, and when they saw the latter nodding, they took a step forward.

"Gold*index, No.5 - Trial*Gemini (Trial Twins), Qinge Yunlu",

"Blue Painted Clouds"

“no.5…… "Sirona rubbed the corners of her eyebrows to hide the tiredness of her body...... It seems that things are more complicated than I thought...... The No.5 of the Royal Academy, even if he is against himself, he has fewer wins and more losses...... What's next?

"The current identity of the junior brother, in addition to the fiancé of the young lady, is still the new No.4" Yunlu said to Nikok, "This time I go back, and when the junior wakes up, the gold*index recognition ceremony and the engagement ceremony will be held at the same time, I hope you don't stop it." ”

"What if I say no......," Nikok said in a deep voice, the situation getting out of hand beyond his imagination...... If he is picked up by the Royal Academy this time, then the Alliance Headquarters will definitely have no chance to make a move after that......

"Then we don't mind taking ...... by force" Yun Ze smiled politely and indifferently swept over the trainers behind Nikok, "If you think it's up to these guys...... If you can stop it, just try it......"

The arms of the two sisters and brothers were raised at the same time, and the Poké Ball was ready to go, and the momentum that overwhelmed everyone before the battle began, made Nikoke and the others sober up......

“gold*index…… This is a contest in which the final results of the annual festival are used as the ranking to determine the ranking...... That's it...... I should have thought that the kid should have been recognized by you after sweeping the trainers above the gold*index. Nikok looked deeply at the Qinge siblings and the light snow behind them, "However, the speed of compromise at the Royal Academy is too fast." ”

"If you can do it, you can try it too", Yunlu pulled a smile, but was not angry.

"We don't mind starting now~" Yun Ze continued, "I believe you should also know the rules of gold*index." ”

gold*index...... Rules? Many people present, including Daye, although they have heard of these secrets, but as for how they decide their rankings, they only stop at the school year festival......

However, compared to Daye and others, Shirona and Nikoke are no strangers.

“…… gold*index, if you want to climb this level, you have to show your superior strength at the annual school year festival......" Nikoke said slowly, "but with the school year festival, you can't get the top ten places...... Unlike the bottom forty rankings, the top combat power of the gold*index must be captured by unconventional methods......

The first is to directly challenge any trainer in the top 10 to defeat him and claim his position......"

Nikoke's words made everyone helpless, this method is no different from sending him to death~ After muttering, most people's attention was focused on the next method described by Nikoke,

"Second, after sweeping the eleventh to last place in the gold*index, so that all of them lose their combat ability, they can naturally get the top ten titles......"

Hiss~ Nikok's words made everyone present gasp, and from this moment on, they knew that even in the gold*index, there was an unfathomable abyss......

"Excuse me...... What kind of situation does it belong to about Shadow ~ Stars? Quickly changing her words, Sirona was vain about her carelessness, but curiosity still made her ask.

"This ......" glanced at his sister in embarrassment, Yun Ze scratched his cheek and said embarrassedly, "It's the second type...... However, the junior did it more thoroughly, and the scope of the challenge also included the top ten guys......"

"Monster ......" Nikok clutched his chest tightly, Rao was mentally prepared, and he couldn't help but be deeply shocked after hearing the news...... At this time, most of the people who were watching the scene were already stupid......

"Alright, that's the end of the small talk...... Where is he in the stars? Xiaoxue asked, her eyes falling on Sirona.

I don't know why, Sirona's gaze at Xiaoxue had a hint of hostility, but it was only for a moment, and she hid it well.

At this critical moment, Sirona was about to use some excuse to refuse the other party, but suddenly heard a loud bang in the inner hall.

"What's wrong?" Yun Ze and Yun Lu glanced at each other, and rushed towards the room behind Shirona first, followed by Xiaoxue and Shirona.

"You guys come with me to see", Nikoke said angrily rarely, what the hell is going on today, so many accidents have happened?

After passing through the small door, Nikoke and the others in the room finally came to the room, but they saw several people, including Xiaoxue and Sirona, staying in place in surprise, like statues. Soon, however, he became part of the statue......

On the wide big bed, directly above the sleeping boy, there is a spirit similar to an aries, the revered appearance has a lot of golden limb modifications, green compound eyes and noble white well-proportioned body, with the golden round wheel around the waist, holy and majestic.

"Arceus ......", Rao is Nikok's age, and it is difficult to calm down at this time. Among the legendary elves, the most eye-catching Cunzài, the most of the gods, the creation elves, actually appeared.

Glancing at the boy on the bed in a complicated manner, Nikoke's face was filled with a hint of deep jealousy.

"Who are you......", the voice from Arceus suddenly woke everyone up, "why are you here?" ”

"We're not here for you......" The sky-blue semi-ring in Yun Ze's hand disappeared, and he said in a rare honorific voice,

"The one lying on the bed is a very important person to us, and we want to take him to a better place to recuperate...... Yun Lu said at the same time.

His eyes swept over the semi-circular red ring in Yunlu's hand, Arceus raised his head,

"The Lost Technique...... Lost your skills, it seems that you want to start a war with me? ”

"Don't dare to ......," Yunlu said with a wry smile, "I just want you to understand that we are just thinking about his body......"

"I believe that with the conditions of the Sinnoh region, it is enough to heal his body, so there is no need for unnecessary movement," Sirona stepped forward and said, even in the face of the creator god, she still remained calm.

"What about them?" Arceus finally looked at Nikoke and the others,

"We're here to clarify some misunderstandings...... Facing the God of Creation, Nikoke didn't dare to be too tough, so he could only say euphemistically.

"Misunderstanding......" Arceus repeated, finally looking away, making Nikoke relax a lot.

However, the ensuing strong pressure immediately crushed everyone, as if the pressure on every piece of skin made most of the people present kneel down, except Xiaoxue and Sirona, and the Qinghui sisters and brothers were not affected, but their faces were not very good......

Affected by the aging body, Nikoke trembled irrepressibly and held his body strongly. Pride from the headquarters of the alliance did not allow him to kneel......

"I don't know what you're trying to do...... I don't know who you are......" Sixteen stone slabs appeared outside Arceus's body, flickered once, and then a ray of light lifted the star's body from the bed and carried it on his back.

"But he's my trainer now...... Now that I have awakened, I am responsible for his affairs......"

Really...... Yun Lu and Yun Ze glanced at each other, both very helpless~

"In that case, the stars will ask you" To everyone's surprise, Xiaoxue bent down and thanked him,

"I hope so" Sirona shook her head, unable to object. Nikoke on the other side was unwilling, but he still nodded.

"Here...... Not suitable for recuperation...... It's too noisy," Arceus picked up the sleeping stars and disappeared into a streamer.

Everyone present was really relieved at this time~ Talking to the legendary gods, it was really stressful......

Glancing at Shirona thoughtfully, Xiaoxue and Qinge only stayed for a short time before saying hello and saying goodbye to Nikoke.

Nikoke, who had the heart to send the big news back to the headquarters, responded in a hurry, and left in a hurry with his subordinates. In the living room, after all, only Shirona and Daya remained.

Where will he go...... Ignoring the excited Daye, Sirona returned to her room without even saying hello, thinking sullenly.

It seemed that this was the end of the matter, and a month later, outside the Oki Research Institute in Kanto Shinshin Town, a teenager slowly walked out,

When the two half-souls merged, he was reborn, both a star of light and a shadow of darkness...... But there always seems to be a fragment of memory in the body that has not been fused...... He could sense that the fragment of memory that belonged to the Shadow of Darkness was important, even related to his abilities......

But isn't my spatial ability restored? Shaking his palm, Xingchen thought like this, what is missing......

"Woo~" had a splitting headache, Xingchen couldn't help but squat down, as if he seemed to remember that there was a person who was very important to him waiting for him......

I...... Waiting for you...... Hope...... Wait......

The words from the fragments of his memories were intermittent and incomplete, and he was in agony.

Who am I waiting for? Xingchen muttered and walked towards a high ground outside the institute, where there was a large, ancient tree, and from there, the whole town could be seen......

The closer he got to the ancient tree, the less his pain diminished...... It seems, is it here?

Leaning on the trunk of the ancient tree, Xingchen slowly closed his eyes and rested.

In the Sinnoh Alliance building, Shirona, who was sitting in her office, immediately understood something after hearing the report about the pillar of the gun.

Current evidence suggests that they must have gone to their masters...... Kanto?! Sirona simply tidied up and released a fierce bite land shark,

I woke up this time...... Who the hell is it...... Sirona's eyes were complicated, which made the fierce bite land shark on the side stunned......

"Sirona...... What happened to you? The old woman walking through the office was curious when she saw the fierce bite shark in the room.

"Kikuno?" Sirona was startled, and then recovered. "I'm nothing, just a little tired......"

"Are you going out?" Kikuno asked, "If it's not something very important, let's push it first...... I don't think you look good......"

"Yes, I see," Shirona said, leaning back in her chair.

Seeing that the other party accepted his opinion, Kikuno smiled and nodded, and walked out of the room.

"My face ...... Is it bad? Sirona's fingertips ran across her cheeks as she pulled out a small mirror from the drawer of the table. The fair and smooth skin is as usual, as if there is nothing abnormal...... But somehow, Sirona always felt a little worse, and hesitantly touched the small cabinet in the center...... It's a place to store makeup, but she doesn't use it often, or at all...... Fortunately, she is naturally beautiful, but she doesn't need to be retouched......

But perhaps thinking of the person she was going to meet next, she opened it anyway......

Ei, if it were you, you would have waited for me for a while...... Shirona thought so......

Dozens of minutes later, Sirona, who flew away from Sinnoh, finally arrived in the Kanto region, Shinshin Town.

After anxiously searching for a long time, she asked about the location of the Oki Research Institute, and after running towards the destination with a mentality that she had never felt before, she saw the young man under the ancient tree from a distance......

Caught up? Shirona thought so, but when she wanted to move on, a beautiful figure had already arrived at the destination she wanted to reach......

"Who am I waiting for?" The stars caressed the trunk of the tree, and then turned and leaned back and sat down,

"That...... Excuse me? A soft female voice sounded, and Xingchen opened his eyes blankly,

The lotus arms are exposed, the blue dress is binding the girl's slender waist, and the bright eyes are looking at the stars curiously,

"You are?" Xingchen asked as he slowly stood up.

"My name is Sheena," the girl said with a smile, "I think we should meet......"

Hope...... Na, the familiar characters slowly coincided with the memories in the brain, and although there was still a little discomfort, the stars finally recovered.

“…… Xingchen" The young man relieved himself and smiled, "Trainer of the Orange Flower Gym - the eldest son of Qianli, Tie Xuan, Xingchen"

"Ah ~ En" Hina was slightly surprised, "Please advise more"

"Smack~", a small voice came into Xingchen's ears, making him turn his head, but he found nothing.

"What's wrong?" Sensing the strangeness of the other party, Sheena asked.

"No, it's nothing" Xingchen shook his head, secretly sighing that he was too careful...... "If you don't mind, take a walk with me, I haven't walked around for a long time~"

"Of course you can~" Sheena said with a smile on her eyebrows.

The body reacted first, Xingchen looked at his outstretched hand in amazement, and secretly sighed that he was too reckless, but saw that Hina was only struggling slightly, so he didn't move, and quietly let himself lead, and his heart was a lot more stable.

Could it be that it was really the arrangement of fate? Thinking so, Xingchen led Hina towards the village path.

In the shadows of the trees, out of sight of the stars, another figure was leaning against the trunk of the tree, sobbing silently......
