Chapter 105: Gradually Entering the Path
Boom——————
The purple-black lightning in the sky kept shining, as if it blended with the night, but it covered all the light of the silver moon and the starry sky, and in an instant, the sky of the entire Xicui region was haunted by an ominous and strange feeling.
The people who were awakened and the Pokémon looked up one after another, full of horror and bewilderment, and even bent their knees directly, kneeling on the ground and prostrating, shouting 'Sinnoh Daizun is angry!' ''This is divine punishment!'' ''Forgiveness for your sins!'' And so on and so forth.
But the change of this space-time rift is not for the Xicui region, nor for Pokémon, but just to dispel two outsiders who do not belong to this era.
Skycrown Mountain, the Pokémon that live near the top of the mountain are running for their lives non-stop, although this space-time rift has not yet had any substantial effect, it just looks bluffing, but it is enough to make them flee for their lives.
Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, gentlemen do not stand under dangerous walls, even Pokémon understand this unbreakable truth.
For a moment, the entire Heavenly Crown Mountain was agitated, and the frightened cries of the Pokémon, the gasps of running, and the footsteps rolling through the snow were mixed.
Xu Qiansu stepped forward quickly, lifted the curtain, and raised his eyes.
They were walking on the mountain trail at the moment, and they were still on the way up the mountain, and they were only half an hour away from the summit...... Therefore, when I looked up, I saw that the top of Tianguan Mountain was full of waves like an avalanche.
This is caused by the Pokémon stepping on the snow and descending the mountain together.
A snow boy hurried down the mountain, and happened to come near the frame, but his foot slipped and rolled all the way down the steep slope, and then he rose into the air and was about to fall on the trunk of a hard tree.
Xu Qiansu took it into his arms.
The snow boy shook his head and shook off all the snow on his body before raising his eyes to look at Xu Qiansu.
"Let's go." Xu Qiansu smiled gently, nodded its forehead, and threw it gently.
The snow boy glanced back at Xu Qiansu, but he didn't dare to stay for a long time and continued to go down the mountain.
Xu Qiansu's smile slowly retracted, looked up at the extremely unstable space-time vortex, pursed his lips and pondered for a while, and then leaned over and walked into the carriage...... The Six-Tails and Zoroa have been subdued, and at the moment they are in the Poké Ball, and only Shanaiduo, the Supponate, and the Vine Snake are still outside.
However, whether it is Shanaiduo, the vine snake, or the little suppurial beast, they are not afraid, they stepped forward and raised their little faces slightly, saying that no matter what happens, don't be afraid, I will definitely protect you.
Xu Qiansu pursed his lips and smiled, took the little pouch beast into his arms, stroked her back, and then looked at Gardelia, "There is a change in the rift of time and space...... Maybe it has something to do with us. ”
Gadelia's snow-white face was still as calm and lazy as before, she withdrew her spiritual power from the magical stone slab, and immediately flipped it over, and a purple-black pendant lay obediently in her snow-white palm...... But on top of the pendant, there were cracks in the cloth, which began to spread slowly, and it was estimated that in less than ten minutes, the pendant would be completely broken...... It will also forcibly open the door of time and space.
Xu Qiansu didn't say much, but asked straight to the point, "This is the key for us to travel through time and space?" ”
Gadelia bowed her head lightly and explained simply, "The leftover materials I used to open the door of time and space are just the leftovers I used to open the door of time and space, but I can use it a few more times...... The only difficulty is that it's hard to protect you on the way through the back of the world, but now that there are magical tablets, you don't have to worry about it......"
Xu Qiansu's eyebrows were flirtatious, and he knew that the space-time rift was because he sensed this purple-black pendant with the same style as Miss Ma Li...... It seems that Kréselia is right, this era instinctively resists the arrival of Xu Qiansu and Gadelia, but instead of directly attacking, it uses this almost fateful coincidence to drive them away.
Perhaps that's why Chirulian descended on the Heavenly Crown Mountains in the first place...... In this way, Xu Qiansu and Gadelia can get close to the space-time rift, so that they can be driven away.
And Xiaozhao, as a worker of Arceus, has no such troubles. 、
Xu Qiansu and Gadelia obviously don't have a backstage as big as Xiaozhao, and Arceus won't be idle to protect them.
Thinking about it, Xu Qiansu took it out in his arms, took out Zoroya's Poke Ball, and pursed his lips silently.
Since 'Xicui' is like this in the face of Xu Qiansu, what should 'modern' look like in the face of Zoroa? Will it be like this to use all the coincidences to drive it back to the washing? Will it make it suffer? Is it the right choice to take Zoroa out of this era by himself?
Xu Qiansu's hand holding the Zoroa Poké Ball tightened slightly, and he quickly put it into his arms and looked at Gardelia.
"Ready?" Gardelia raised her eyebrows slightly, tilted her head and asked.
"Shouldn't I ask you this question?"
"As I said, you don't need to worry about anything, you just need to rely on me, and I will naturally bring you back to the modern age in perfect condition...... So even if there are variables at the moment, I am 100% sure. Gardelia's tone seemed to say that the sky was blue, the water was transparent, and today's dinner was delicious...... It reveals self-confidence and reliability.
She had already used her spiritual power to cover up the aura of the magical slate, but she didn't have to worry about Giratina's treasure hunting and killing...... What's more, even if Giratina really came to the door to find fault, Gardelia also had a way, not to mention killing her, but it was still no problem to escape......
After all, in the past three years, Gardelia has been thinking about killing Kyurem all the time, and she has figured out several sets of ways to deal with the divine beast.
Whether it is effective or not is another matter, but there is always a law available.
Xu Qiansu gently pinched the chubby little tail of the little pouch beast and chuckled, "Let's go back." ”
"Karui~"
"Pocha~"
Shanaiduo glanced at Gadelia, and she always wondered if this female human had bad intentions towards Xu Qiansu...... It's not that Shanaiduo is targeting Jiadelia, Shanaiduo is just suspicious of everyone around Xu Qiansu equally...... She only believed that she could protect Xu Qiansu.
But Shanaiduo didn't have a way to travel through time and space, so he had to trust Gardelia for the time being.
Xu Qiansu took out the Pokémon Poké Balls, took them back, and then raised his eyes to look around.
The unremarkable carriage doesn't have anything to bring back with you.
It's just that...... This frame was made by him and the Pokémon of Hidden Spring, and it is inevitably a pity that it is thrown in place now.
But there's no way he's going to take it away...... There is also no time to settle at this moment.
It can only be thrown here.
Xu Qiansu looked back, looked through the window, looked at the silver moon hanging in the night sky, and was silent for a while before looking back at Jiadelia.
"Let's go back."
Jiadelia looked at Xu Qiansu quietly, didn't say much, just stretched out her white and tender little hand.
Xu Qiansu reached out and shook her hand.
The purple-black pendant floated in the air, reflecting a little illusory purple light on the moonlight, and in the next moment, the spiderweb-like cracks spread everywhere in the pendant, and then shattered, the fragments turned into points of light, dissipated into the void, and a whirlpool like a black hole appeared inside the carriage.
There is no suction, no sound, just floating in the air by itself, but it exudes an unusually strong sense of existence, as if a small hole has been broken in the space.
The Gate of Time and Space.
Xu Qiansu and Jiadelia glanced at each other, and immediately stepped into the whirlpool...... The two of them disappeared without a trace.
After the two disappeared, the gate of time and space disappeared suddenly under the repair of the world.
The space-time vortex at the top of the Tianguan Mountain Range also disappeared along with this space-time gate, and the night sky returned to its usual quietness and coldness.
All over the country, human beings looked at the night sky, their faces were full of confusion, this space-time vortex suddenly appeared half a month ago, and it has been safe and sound, until it was restless for a few minutes just now, but in the blink of an eye, it suddenly disappeared...... What the hell is this?
Ultramarine Coast, Ultramarine Town.
Kaede held the six tails in his arms, and his little face with baby fat was raised, and he looked at the night sky that had returned to normal in a daze.
"Huh?" Six Tails looked up at her and tilted his little head.
Kaede looked at it for a while, then retracted his gaze, smiled coquettishly, and said, "If only I could grow up quickly...... This way you can go out on a trip. ”
"Huh?" Six Tails crooked her little face again, why had she never heard of Kaede wanting to travel before?
……
Stepping into the gate of time and space, Xu Qiansu only felt that it was pitch black in front of him, and there was always a sense of detachment between his soul and body, as if there were countless hands pulling his consciousness, and then there was a burst of mysterious and mysterious power from the slippery and soft little hands in the palms, which directly crushed those hands...... But Xu Qiansu still felt nauseous and dizzy.
However, this is a normal physiological phenomenon that passes through the gate of time and space, and when a human body crosses time and space, there is no reaction at all, just nausea and dizziness, which is already a very mild side effect...... It's like motion sickness.
When the dizziness passed, Xu Qiansu opened his eyes, and the scene on the back of the world came into view.
Rao is Xu Qiansu, and he couldn't help but be a little shocked.
There is no sunlight, no plants, not even land, only dilapidated and gray, countless floating islands are scattered in the air, but the floating islands are facing the 'center of the earth', the river flows backwards, the waterfall hangs upside down, and there is a gray sea above the floating island......
A world where gravity is reversed corresponds to everything in this world, but it is diametrically opposed.
Xu Qiansu and Gadelia floated in the air, but it seemed that the two of them were the one who reversed gravity.
Not far below the two of them, there was a misty gray mist...... Needless to say, I also know that this thing cannot be touched, and once it falls into the gray fog, no one knows what will happen.
This is the back of the world, which can also be called the inverted world, the space where Giratina lives...... It is a place of exile from the gods.
Xu Qiansu first touched the Poke Ball on his waist...... It's all still there.
Nothing was missing.
Xu Qiansu turned his head to look at it, and Gardelia held him with one hand and the magical slate with the other...... Apparently drawing strength from it.
Her eyes were closed at the moment, and her expression was rare and serious...... I am concentrating on the location, looking for a path that spans thousands of years.
On the back side of the world, time and space are completely chaotic, and if you take a random step to open the door of time and space, you will appear at any point in time in this world.
Gardelia chooses to use her own somatosensory time as the standard...... Then we go to the fourth of March in modern times.
She has experience in traveling through the back of the world, not to mention that she is familiar with this, at least she is at ease, so in just a few minutes, she opened her eyes, looked at Xu Qiansu, and said calmly: "Let's go." ”
Xu Qiansu nodded lightly, "It's really reliable." ”
Jiadelia retracted her gaze, flew in one direction with Xu Qiansu, and said casually: "If you really think so, then when you go back, you will leave Marly and follow me, so that you can live your life as safely and easily as a rice worm." ”
Xu Qiansu smiled and didn't say much.
Gadelia also stopped talking, it was not easy to travel through the back of the world, she needed to prevent the turbulence of time and space at all times, and she had to spend most of her mind to cover up the aura of the magical stone tablet...... It's best not to run into it, otherwise it will inevitably encounter variables.
Xu Qiansu naturally understood this, so he didn't say anything more, just silently spread the power of the waveguide, always vigilant.
He's not a superpower, so that's all he can do...... Speaking of which, since coming to the Xicui area, Xu Qiansu has not actually done anything worth mentioning, and all the events seem to have been completed by Jiadelia alone.
Suddenly, countless bubbles swept towards the two of them.
But neither Xu Qiansu nor Jiadeliya panicked.
I saw that the bubble consciously moved away the moment it approached the two, keeping it not far from the two, but the two just couldn't touch their distance.
If you look closely, you can see that there are a series of pictures above the bubble.
It's not a reflection of the two of them...... It's really film-like.
This is the shadow of the world, and the pictures in it are all about what is happening in this world, but once you touch these bubbles, there will be a certain amount of fluctuations in this life, as for how to fluctuate...... No one knows, after all, this place has not been entered by many humans since ancient times.
Xu Qiansu looked at these bubbles, and the picture on them ...... All of them are Xu Qiansu's experiences in this world.
The first time I came to this world, I crawled out of the snow and met Larulasi, who was on guard at the time.
The Tsui Snow Festival in Tsui Snow Town.
The emerald glow of the pouchy beast.
Poachers who died in a dark alley.
Skiing with Miss Mary.
Standing on the stone bridge, I looked at Gardelia who came by boat.
The Snow Witch's family letter.
……
"I see, you've only been in this world for about four months now...... I thought you had been living in this world for more than ten years. At that moment, Gadelia suddenly spoke.
It seems that she can see the picture that Xu Qiansu can see.
Xu Qiansu still thinks that everyone can only see their own experience......
He was a little curious about Gardelia's experience, but he was about to turn his head to look at the bubble on Gardelia's side, but he withdrew his gaze...... Didn't look at anything.
Sensing Xu Qiansu's movements, Jiadelia couldn't help but relax a little.
Xu Qiansu smiled before saying, "Yes, it's only been less than four months, but what happened in it, for me, seems to have passed four years." ”
"It's too old-fashioned, it's something new." Gadelia glanced at Xu Qiansu and said unceremoniously.
Now that it is getting closer and closer to modern times, Rao is Gadelia can't help but relax a little.
Xu Qiansu shook his head slightly, but he pursed his lips and was silent for a while, and then suddenly said, "...... Gardelia, go back and take my Pokémon with you. ”
Gadelia was slightly stunned and looked at Xu Qiansu.
Just now, she focused on guarding against the danger on the back side of the world, but she ignored Xu Qiansu, and when she looked at it at this moment, she saw that his other hand was holding a high-grade ball tightly, but even so, the high-level ball still trembled slightly, obviously about to break free from Xu Qiansu's palm.
Zoroa's Poké Ball.
"I thought it would be like this at least when I returned to modern times, but I didn't expect that on the back side of the world, 'modern' was already so resistant to Zoroa." The corners of Xu Qiansu's mouth hooked, it should be to smile bitterly, but he didn't laugh.
Zoloa can't go back to modern times, and Gadelia naturally knows...... She already knew.
But she never told Xu Qiansu, because once she did, it would only add to her troubles...... If you can't bring it back, you can't bring it back, unless Xu Qiansu asks Arceus for help, but the price of trading with the gods is too great...... Gadelia will never allow Xu Qiansu to come into contact with Arceus.
Jiadelia didn't say it, but he also had some thoughts of letting Xu Qiansu retreat, otherwise, he would never have been able to go back to modern times with Jiadeliya so easily.
At this moment, if Xu Qiansu let go of his hand, Zoroya would definitely be sent directly to the frame of the Xicui region...... You may also be lost in the back of the world, no one can say.
"Zoroa is not a modern ...... How do you know that she doesn't want to stay in her hometown, but to accompany you to a strange time? Gadelia's apricot eyes narrowed slightly, she seemed to want to use a threatening tone, but in the end she only said slowly in a calm tone: "I will let Zoroa return to the Xicui region safely, you can just let go." ”
It's true, Gardelia does have a way.
If she can't do it, she won't be able to let Zoroa enter the back side of the world, otherwise she will undoubtedly harm Zoroa with her own hands.
She doesn't care about Zoroa.
But she cares about Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu cherished his Pokémon very much, and Gadelia knew that he would not be able to give up on Zoroa without a special reason.
But he had to give up Zoroa.
This is also the reason why Gadelia did not tell Xu Qiansu, which is also her plan.
Because at the moment, it's a special reason.
As long as you are a normal person, you will know what is the right choice.
Let go, and then take Shanado and the Six Tails back to the modern day safe and sound with Gardelia...... How to come to Xicui, how to return to modern times.
"Nine times out of ten, things don't go your way...... Isn't that a sentence from your hometown? If you can't go back, you can't go back, even if you go back to Xicui with her, what can you do? How long can she live and how long can you live? Gardelia spoke in a sharp tone, and what she said was completely correct,
"Can you guarantee that you will get Arceus's help? What's more, you are in modern times, don't you have nostalgia? What about Marly? What about Dale? You'll never see you again in this life? On one side is Zoroa, on the other side is Marie, Dale, everything you know...... How to choose, you should understand yes. ”
Gadelia didn't give Xu Qiansu a chance to refute at all, sentence after sentence.
She had already thought of these words, just for this moment.
In fact, Xu Qiansu didn't want to refute it, what Gadeliya said was completely correct.
Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and gentlemen do not stand under dangerous walls, this is the truth that Pokémon understand.
Pokémon know how to escape in the face of the strange space-time vortex, and how rare the opportunity to go back to the modern era is at this moment, Xu Qiansu understands.
"And, what has she done for you, Zoroya? Nothing has happened between you, nothing has been experienced...... She sent you the fruit once, and then what? Gadelia looked at Xu Qiansu and continued: "Her relationship with you is far less profound than that between you and Shanaiduo, the Supholstery, the Six-Tails, the Vine Snake, and Ma Li. ”
"So let go, hesitate at the moment, there is no point......" said Gardelia, and she remembered the dream that Creselia had made her have.
In that beautiful dream, Xu Qiansu gave up on Zoroya, although he was lost, although he was sad, although he was reluctant, but he finally gave up.
In such a situation, with such words, Gardelia believes that Xu Qiansu will make a wise choice.
As long as Xu Qiansu lets go, then he will return to modern times unharmed.
In modern times, bamboo orchids are also ...... The fate of the chief remb, Gardelia will find a way to solve it.
But for now, it's better to go back first.
So far, everything is in Gardelia's plan, except for the abnormal movement of the space-time vortex that leads to the early opening of the space-time gate, and the accidental acquisition of the magical slate.
Except for Xu Qiansu who would lose Zoroa, there was nothing to lose.
Gadelia is smart, powerful, reliable, and thoughtful, and Xu Qiansu is indeed led by her nose step by step...... But there was one thing that Gardelia overlooked.
That is, what kind of person Xu Qiansu is.
In this situation, what choice will he make?
Jiadelia looked at Xu Qiansu, and couldn't help but be stunned, Xu Qiansu's eyebrows were tightly locked, what Jiadelia could think of, he could naturally think of...... That's why he was so hesitant.
This kind of expression, it was the first time that Gadelia had seen it on Xu Qiansu's face...... Yes, Xu Qiansu is also a human being, and he will hesitate and hesitate.
But Xu Qiansu will eventually make a choice.
He looked at Gardelia and whispered, "Gardelia, please help me one more time, so that I can return to Xicui with Zoroa...... When the time comes, whether I can return to modern times depends on me, and I can't blame anyone...... If we can meet in this world at last, I will definitely repay your people......"
"You're crazy!" Gardelia's soft and languid voice couldn't help but be a little sharp, interrupting Xu Qiansu's words, "What's the point of this!?" ”
"There is no meaning, but many things in the world are meaningless." Xu Qiansu shook his head slightly, his expression had returned to calm at this moment.
He said slowly, "Zoroa is different from my little cubs...... I haven't done anything for her yet......"
“…… She doesn't know anything, and I can't just throw one of her Pokémon at Xicui. ”
I haven't done anything for her yet.
Yes, this is the biggest difference between Xu Qiansu and the ninety percent of the trainers in this world.
Gadelia couldn't help but bite her lower lip tightly, her chest rose and fell, but she didn't know what to say.
After a while, she asked in a low voice, "If the person standing in front of you at this moment is Mary, and she asks you to give up Zoroa, will you give up?" ”
Xu Qiansu was slightly stunned, always deliberately alienating Jiadelia, but at this moment, he stretched out his hand, gently pinched Jiadelia's pretty face, smiled, and said, "Do you think, why did we quarrel in the first place?" ”
Gadelia looked at Xu Qiansu's eyes, and suddenly remembered the fate of Kyurem at the beginning, and then, she understood......
Kyurem will not come to kill Xu Qiansu, and no one will come to kill Xu Qiansu...... Everything is Xu Qiansu's own choice.
Everything was doomed from the moment Jiadelia met Xu Qiansu and decided to let him die instead of Zhulan.
He chose to separate from Gardelia at this moment, and returned to Xicui alone.
Navigating the back of the world was no easy task, and at this point, Gardelia had no strength left to return the same way with the two of them.
The two are about to be separated by a thousand years...... Is this what Kyurem said in the first place: 'Gadelia will lose her important things, she will lose her happiness?' ’
Will Gadelia lose her happiness after losing Xu Qiansu?
Her mind moved, she unraveled the autosuggestion, and then came up with an answer...... Yes.
But Gadelia is Gadelia, and she is by no means a woman who will succumb to the fate of Kyurem.
She suddenly said, "Don't you still have a white-gold pendant?" Get your psychic power inside. ”
"Huh? I'm not a superpower, I can't use mental ......."
Xu Qiansu's words were blocked...... Gadelia leaned forward and kissed him on the lips.
"I have a way to ......" I don't know how long it took, Gadelia and Xu Qiansu distanced themselves a little, and exhaled like a landau.
The words fell, and the long pink dress of Gadelia ...... Suddenly, it disappears, revealing its smooth skin as white as mutton fat.
Xu Qiansu's breathing couldn't help but be a little heavy, and the two were extremely close, breathing the air that each other had breathed.
He whispered, "I said back that night that you can't commit yourself to anyone because of this...... You can't do the same thing as that princess, you should have your own choice......"
"How do you know that I don't want to?" A hint of charm flashed in Jiadelia's eyes, and she asked rhetorically, and immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to kiss Xu Qiansu again.
"The seven-day covenant, I've already done it...... You're my Pokémon, so you're at my disposal......"
Xu Qiansu and Jiadelia's blue eyes looked at each other, and finally hugged her slender waist......
When did Gadelia fall in love with Xu Qiansu?
Is it autosuggestion?
Or have the two gotten along day and night in the past half a month?
Or just now?
Actually, it's neither
Countless brilliant bubbles wrapped the two of them.
There's a picture on it...... That was the scene when Gadelia first came to Seizu.
She was unconscious and very weak, Xu Qiansu was tired all day, but she still sat cross-legged beside her and watched her all night......
