Sinnoh.

Poplar Town.

It is located in the west of Tianguan Mountain, north of Heijin City and Zhuqing City, and cannot be regarded as a large city.

The whole city is full of antique atmospheres.

Both the architecture and the environment present a kind of classical Western beauty.

Horse-drawn carriages slowly drove through the streets.

The three people sitting in the car were leaning against the door, looking out the window at the town.

Although Poplar Town is not big, there are many people on the streets.

Everyone had a smile on their face.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, it looks extraordinarily beautiful.

And the wide and sturdy streets of Poplar Town are also the battlefield that many trainers are keen on.

The elves here are very enthusiastic about fighting, and even if the sun is about to set, it still can't stop their enthusiasm.

It's just because there is a hundred-year-old arena in Poplar Town, which is a sacred place in the hearts of many trainers.

The enthusiasm and atmosphere of the battle also began in this arena.

"That's the Tower of Time and Space, right?"

Wataru tilted his head and looked out the window at the towering twin towers, and couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, you're right, guest, that's the Tower of Time and Space."

Before Xia Yan and Sirona could speak, the old man, who was the coachman of the carriage, took his words proudly with a smile on his face.

Look far away.

The Tower of Time and Space is actually made up of two tall towers, with a special structure in the middle that combines them together.

These structures are very special, and at first glance, they look like the strings and keys on a piano.

"The one on the left is called Time, and the one on the right is called Space, which is the most iconic building in our Poplar Town, and it was built by Mr. Gao Di, a celebrity in Poplar Town a hundred years ago."

As soon as he arrived at the Tower of Time and Space, the coachman seemed to open up the conversation.

Begin to introduce them to the origin of the Tower of Time and the rumors.

"Guest, don't think that this is just a beautifully crafted tower, it's actually the largest musical instrument in the entire Sinnoh region and even the entire elven world."

"Musical instruments?" Wataru was stunned.

It was hard for him to imagine that such a tall tower could be a musical instrument.

Of course, Du, an outsider from Guandu, is not clear about this matter.

But for Natsuhiko and Shirona, it's not something to be surprised about.

Xia Yan understands the theatrical version that took place in Poplar Town, and naturally knows the meaning of the existence of the Tower of Time and Space and its role.

As an ancient person who studied with Dr. Mustard Orchid, Sirona is not very familiar with the antiquity of the Sinnoh region, but she still knows some of the recent history very well.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw it in each other's eyes.

Laughing at each other without words.

Wataru's reaction gave the driver the greatest satisfaction.

He likes the stunned look on his face every time he introduces the Tower of Time and Space to a traveler, and learns that the Tower of Time and Space is also a musical instrument.

The more obvious and exaggerated the astonishment on the passenger's face, the stronger his pride became.

Of course, this is not malicious, but as a resident of Poplar Town, I feel proud of my hometown.

"Yes, it's a musical instrument and a bell tower, and it plays four times a day. ”

The coachman looked admiring.

"Mr. Gaudi has set up four moments for the Tower of Time and Space.

When the first rays of sunlight shine through Tianguan Mountain in the morning and shine on Poplar Town, beautiful music will be played, announcing the beginning of a beautiful day.

After the lunch meal, before everyone rests, the Tower of Time and Space will play again, soothing the fatigue of a long morning's work, and helping everyone to take a better nap.

As the sun sets and fades over the western coastline, the Tower of Time and Space plays a song to tell you that after a hard day's work, you can relax and enjoy dinner with your family, tea with friends, and a great battle with your best friends.

Before going to bed at night, the Tower of Time and Space will play the last song of the day to soothe everyone's emotions, dispel the unhappiness of the day, and let everyone fall asleep beautifully."

Everyone listened in silence and did not interrupt the coachman.

This is the most real and simple feeling as a resident of Poplar Town.

It's the Tower of Time and Space, and it's a good gratitude to Poplar Town.

With a sweet smile on her face, Sirona looked at the Tower of Time and Space under the sunset, as if she had thought of something.

Xia Yan's index finger rubbed with the wood, crushed the energy cube into a fine powder, and spread it in the palm of his hand.

The incendiary worm hanging on his body would drip blue eyes, and wait until Natsuhiko was done with this, and then lie in his hand, carefully eating the crumbs in it.

Lick every grain and every strand into your mouth.

The fluffy white fluff stroked Natsuhiko's palm.

Wataru's attention was entirely absorbed in the coachman's story.

Showing his yearning for the leisurely and comfortable life of Poplar Town, when he heard that he had a wonderful battle with his best friend after sunset, his eyes swept over Xia Yan's body from time to time.

Xia Yan's patient listening behavior made the coachman completely let go, in addition to the Tower of Time and Space, they also told a lot of information or rumors about Poplar Town.

"By the way, if you don't mind, you'd better buy a 'Crescent Feather' ornament."

The coachman gently shook a crescent-shaped colorful delicate feather hanging in front of the carriage.

Xia Yan raised his eyebrows and spoke for the first time.

"Why?"

"It is rumored that since a hundred years ago, some people in Poplar Town have started to have nightmares, some are haunted by the nightmare gods, and some people are just ordinary nightmares, but the pendant of the Crescent Moon Feather has been spreading in Poplar Town since then.

It is said that as long as you carry this pendant, the nightmare will not be intrusive, and it can be regarded as one of the few small specialties in our Poplar Town. ”

Hearing this, Xia Yan and the three of them looked at each other a few times, but they all smiled and did not answer.

Isn't Darkrai, the Nightmare God, in Poplar Town? Crescent feather pendants made of these ordinary materials are useless.

However, Darkrai himself did not mean to harm the residents of Poplar Town, so they had the illusion that this pendant could work.

The Law of Sighs –

The Flame Horse snorted and stopped.

"Three guests, the Tower of Time and Space has arrived."

The three of them got out of the car and came to the wide square in front of the Tower of Time and Space.

There are quite a few people here who are fighting, and there are many more people watching.

Mrs. Che is very good and wants to reduce the fare for Xia Yan.

However, they were rejected by Xia Yan.

After paying the money, Du looked at the carriage that was leaving slowly, and couldn't help but sigh:

"What a simple town."

Coming to Poplar Town from the high-intensity, fast-paced area of the Guandu area, he even felt that it was nice to listen to the coachman's nagging.

"Don't sigh." Xia Yan patted him on the shoulder, "If this matter is not handled well, Poplar Town may disappear." ”

"So serious?"

Du suddenly reined in his sigh.

Natsuhiko glanced at Shirona.

Sirona pulled her hair back and sighed, "It's only going to get worse." ”

Watari expression board.

"Then we're still slow, I almost thought we were here for a tour."

Xia Yan grinned.

"Because it's useless for us to be in a hurry, this time it's not something the three of us can handle, no matter how anxious we are, do you have a way to face the angry Dialuka and Palkia?"

In the face of the two divine beasts of time and space, no one can guarantee 100% that they can stop it, right?

"I know you're very reasonable, but why do you think it hurts so much?" Wataru whispered a complaint.

Xia Yan smiled and ignored him.

"Let's go."

Raise your feet and walk towards the Tower of Space.

"What are we doing here?"

Sirona followed Xia Yan and couldn't help but ask.

"We don't know anything about time and space, but there are always people who are experts in it." Natsuhiko explained.

He's going to find an expert now.

Step inside the Tower of Time and Space.

The spectacular sight inside is in no way inferior to the outside.

Because there is no event held now, the tower of time and space is still relatively idle, and Xia Yan and the others are not hindered.

Go all the way deeper.

Soon they came to the underground of the Tower of Time and Space.

A more secluded basement.

Push the door to enter.

In the dimly lit basement, light waves with a special frequency flickered on and off.

It's a hidden research room.

I saw a thin person, sitting intently in front of the computer, not realizing the entry of Xia Yan and the others.

"Mr. Tonyo."

Xia Yan walked behind the man and shouted softly.

Hearing the voice, the thin man sitting in front of the computer suddenly became excited.

I almost tumbled out of my chair.

Fortunately, Watari was quick and helped him.

"Thank you, thank you."

Toneo first subconsciously thanked him, turned around with his glasses, and saw the three of Xia Yan.

When he saw Xia Yan, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Mr. Xia Yan, you're here."

It seems that he let go of some pressure in his heart and let out a sigh.

Xia Yan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Tonyo, the matter is more urgent, so I came in without saying hello." ”

Tony waved his hand repeatedly.

"No, no, it doesn't matter."

The whole person looks shy.

Several people briefly introduced each other.

When talking about his research, Tonyo changed his previous shy appearance and showed confidence.

"I didn't expect Mr. Xia Yan to read my paper too."

Toneo looked grateful.

After knowing what was about to happen in Poplar Town, Xia Yan tried to contact this talent.

"Just call me Xia Yan. What is the situation now? Xia Yan asked.

Tonyo nodded.

"Xia Yan, you came just in time, just today during the day, a violent space-time collision broke out on the top of the Tower of Time and Space again, although it did not have any impact on Poplar Town, but judging from the frequency of space and time fluctuations, I am afraid that there is something that is approaching Poplar Town."

"Close?" Crossing the vocal tract.

Then Tonyo talks about what is called space, what is called time, and what is called the gap between time and space.

What else is called proximity in the sense of time and space, which is different from the meaning of proximity in our common sense.

Hearing this, Du's brows furrowed.

"Can you predict the next collision?"

Xia Yan asked.

Toneo hesitated.

But when he saw Xia Yan's trusting eyes, his heart warmed, and he nodded and said, "I'll try my best." ”

Xia Yan took out a communicator and gave it to him, "If you lock it, contact me." ”

"Good!"

Tonyo took the communicator.

opened his mouth.

"But there's something weird."

Hesitating so the voice was not very loud, but it was interrupted.

"Tonyo!"

Then.

A crisp voice came from the entrance.

I saw a delicate-looking girl dressed in a red adventurer's outfit with long blond fluffy hair walking in happily.

When he saw the three of Xia Yan in the room, he showed a look of doubt.

"Ai, Alice."

Toneo, who had been talking eloquently, suddenly stuttered again when he saw this girl.

The girl named Alice seemed to be familiar with this situation for a long time, and she didn't care, just looked at Xia Yan and the others.

"Three yes"

I haven't finished asking yet.

There was another voice at the door.

"Alice, why did you end up in this place again?"

The voice was a man, with a rebellious tone, and seemed to be extremely disdainful of the place.

"Albert, why are you here?" Alice, however, seemed to be quite impatient with the man.

"As my fiancée, how can you come to such a shabby place."

At the door, a man in a formal suit with pink hair appeared in their sight.

"Who is your fiancée? Blind what?! ”

Alice glanced at Tonyo out of the corner of her eye, and saw that he lowered his head and didn't speak, and her heart was angry.

However, he still kept Tonyo's hand and said: "Hmph, even if you want to get married, it's Toneo, not you!" "Gu Yan

"Hahaha-" Albert didn't care at all, glanced at Toneo disdainfully, waved his hand, and said, "He? Alice, you're kidding again. ”

Are you kidding? Tonyo's expression darkened.

Seeing his reaction, Albert became more complacent, but Alice was even angrier.

It's just not that I'm annoyed by Albert's stubbornness, but I'm annoyed that Tonyo is unmoved.

"Humph!"

While they were arguing, Natsuhiko quietly left the basement with Shirona and Wataru.

"Tsk, that girl named Alice has to find a decent one even if she wants to find a shield, Tonyo is too shy."

Wataru shook his head as he walked.

When he looked up, he found that Natsuhiko and Sirona were looking at him with the eyes of a "fool".

"What's wrong?" Wataru was stunned.

Xia Yan sighed and shook his head.

"It's not for nothing that you're still single."

Sirona didn't fall into the trap, just chuckled.

Turning his head to look at Xia Yan, who was walking in the front, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Natsuhiko also sensed Alice's liking for Tonyo? As a girl, Shirona feels good to understand, and it is normal for Wataru to not feel it as a straight man of steel, but Xia Yan, who is also a straight man of steel, actually feels it, which makes her a little different.

Of course Natsuhiko didn't feel it.

It's just that he can't help it, he understands the plot.

Wataru followed the two of them.

"Xia Yan, are you embarrassed about me? It's as if you're not single. ”

Xia Yan glanced at him.

"That's different, I don't have a cousin like Tsubaki by my side."

"Tsubaki?" Wataru looked stunned, "That's my sister." ”

Younger sister?

You are a sister to others.

People want to sit on the bow of the boat.

Xia Yan shook his head and said no more.

It's so tiring to chat with the straight man of steel, Xia Yan thought to himself feeling quite good.

The three of them walked out of the Tower of Time and Space.

Ding Ding Dong Dong –

It may be that it was just in time for the Tower of Time and Space to come into action, playing a melodious song that echoed throughout Poplar Town.

The three of them stopped almost subconsciously.

Enjoy the beautiful music.

Even Xia Yan and Du, who didn't understand this, couldn't help but show an intoxicated look.

Just a song.

Wataru stretched.

"It's strange that I really feel that my physical and mental exhaustion has been relieved."

Xia Yan's feeling was even more obvious, he could clearly feel the recovery of his mental power, and the smoothness of his superpowers.

I didn't expect this song to faintly enhance superpowers? He looked up at the Tower of Time and Space that had calmed down.

"If necessary, when this is over, you can make a copy of these songs." Xia Yan muttered.

"What?"

"Nope." Xia Yan shook his head, "You don't know how to appreciate it, songs sometimes play a role that is even stronger than a certain force." ”

In the theatrical version of the original book, what calmed the anger of Dialuka and Palkia was the song "Olasion" played by the Tower of Time and Space.

It's just that Natsuhiko doesn't dare to guarantee 100% that the song "Olatheon" here can play the same role.

Pin your hopes entirely on a song.

Not his style.

In case "Olatheon" is only a supporting role, it is actually the fallen Darkrai that really plays the key.

But Xia Yan took this song as a lifesaver, and in the end it was self-defeating, but he didn't give him another chance.

Do multi-hand preparation.

It's always been his habit.

Knowing the existence and role of "Olatheon", at most, Xia Yan has a guaranteed hole card.

When he really can't help it, he will try.

After all, his main purpose in coming to Poplar Town was to save Darkrai, who was prone to stupidity.

If everything is premised on the fall of Darkrai, it will be worth the cost.

No one knows if Darkrai will be resurrected again.

"The power of music can really shake the heart." Sirona also sighed after hearing this.

Wataru pouted.

"I've been looking for Tonyo, what are you doing now?"

"Find Darkrai." Xia Yan said truthfully.

It was Darkrai who called them in.

But Xia Yan came, but Darkrai did not appear.

This surprised Natsuhiko.

It seemed to him that Darkrai would show up when he arrived in Poplar Town.

Sirona frowned, "It doesn't make sense that he asked you for help in a dream, and you came and didn't show up." ”

She expressed Xia Yan's doubts.

Xia Yan nodded.

Darkrai's words at the end of his dream flashed through his mind.

I couldn't help but press the forehead corner.

"That guy wouldn't do anything stupid, would he?"

"Poplar Town is not big, but it is not small, and if Darkrai is hiding, it will not be easy for us to find it." Ferry.

Herein lies the problem.

When Natsuhiko came to Poplar Town, Darkrai knew for sure.

Now it doesn't appear, there is only one explanation, it is hiding from Natsuhiko.

Why hide? If it wants to hide, it will not be easy for Natsuhiko to find it.

After thinking about it, Xia Yan finally decided to change his strategy.

"Count, let's go find the big guy first."

"Big guy?"

Xia Yan raised the corners of his mouth.

"It's a real big guy."

It is precisely because his cheap teacher Kikuko, a big man, is in Sinnoh that Xia Yan dares to come to Poplar Town so frankly.

That's a real big guy.

Unlike Wataru and Sirona, who will only become thighs in the future, those thighs are thick from head to tail.

"Go buy a little gift and visit."

The three of them walked towards the night market, which was gradually becoming lively.

"I always feel like I'm missing something very important, what's it?" Xia Yan walked as he walked, thoughts surging in his mind.

He felt as if he hadn't been able to grasp something.

At this time.

Somewhere in the midst of chaos, disorder, obscurity, time and space.

Time and space collide violently here.

In a chaotic world of nothingness, two imposing figures constantly staggered and collided, bursting out with violent space-time vibrations.

Rumble!!

The collision between the divine beasts is enough to annihilate everything.

With each collision, the chaos ripples and ripples that are enough to destroy a city.

Wherever the ripples of the Tao pass, space and time are confused, evolving into a spatial turbulence that makes people smell and change.

But there are not just two figures here.

The unknown totems that inhabit the gap between time and space surround the two beings, constantly calming the ripples and ripples.

But their abilities don't seem to be sound, and they can only be half calmed down each time.

The unknown totem is still happy, as if the ripples of this time and space are their best nourishment.

Rumble!!

Another collision.

The chaotic gap between time and space suddenly came to a standstill.

Time and space seem to be frozen into a picture.

The two major beings have finally stopped here.

The whole head is gray, purple and black lines are all over, like a two-legged dinosaur, and the two huge pearls on the shoulders exude a strange and beautiful color.

The god of space, Palukia! The other side.

A blue giant beast did not lose its momentum at all, its whole body was covered with silver lines, spreading out of its body like metal edges and corners, standing on all fours, and a square diamond-blue gem on its chest shone brightly.

The god of time, Ti Luca! Seeing this, the unknown totems hurriedly hid aside.

A short pause does not mean that they want to stop, but that they are gathering strength in their own hands.

The next second.

Palkia's arm was wrapped in red space power, and the "Sub-Empty Rift Slash" was split, and the space shattered into powder.

Dialuka roared in rage, and the "Roar of Time" spread with its roar.

Two powerful forces of rules collide, entangle, tear, and annihilate.

The rippling aftermath washed away the unknown totem and temporarily forced back the two major existences.

Palkia squinted at his right arm, the space orb on it was already full of cracks.

"Roaring ——!!"

Palkia roared reluctantly, turned her head to split the space, and fled in a direction between time and space.

Tyluka knew that his rival was not in a good state at this time, and he had no intention of giving up, and the time trembling was accompanied by the chaos of the flow of time, and he stepped over a long distance and chased after him.

The whole gap returned to calm.

The unknown totem formed into a ball after resisting the initial aftermath of the collision and chased after him.

Whoa—

However.

After they left, voices suddenly reappeared in the calm space.

The collision of metal, the friction of chains, several bright red chains appeared out of thin air, intertwined, exuding strange ripples, as if they could produce some kind of different emotions.

A modest manor somewhere in Poplar Town.

Xia Yan and the three of them stepped on the dense lights of the night and knocked on the door.

Tuk Tuk –

In a short time, the door slowly opened.

A brighter light shone along the door on the faces of the trio, leaving three blurred shadows on the grass behind them, swaying slightly.

Seeing the person who opened the door, Xia Yan immediately smiled and handed over the gift he bought.

It's a couple of gadgets.

Laplace made of crystal.

When Sirona saw the person who opened the door, her face also showed surprise.

Wataru's expression changed the most, with disbelief.

"Hehe-the last time we met, I just thought that Xia Yan had a lot of potential, but I didn't expect that when I met again, you would already be famous."

The person who opened the door had a smile on his face, but it seemed that he hadn't really smiled in a long time, so the smile was not very pretty.

But Xia Yan and the others didn't care, and they knew what kind of person he was.

He bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Liubo, I'm bothered." ”

The person who opened the door was the former Ice Heavenly King of the Guandu region, Liu Bo! Xia Yan's mouth is "real thighs".

Somewhere in Poplar Town.

The dim underground.

The brilliant screen shimmered with a cold glow.

There are more than a few people.

"Are they finally here?"

A slightly pale face is reflected on the screen.
