At the end of the story, the atmosphere in the air was extremely silent for a while, and no one was the first to speak.

Naoki recalls what he had seen in the Cave of Fears, a small space with polished stone beds, stone tables, and stone benches.

He could almost imagine the original picture in his mind.

The man from a foreign country took the Grimace to the cave and prepared to settle there.

Together, they found large uneven stones on the mountain, carried them back to the cave, and carefully polished the surface of the stones with the expectation of a new life.

A bed to sleep on, a table to eat, a stool to rest......

Until the arrival of the three greedy Pokémon broke this peaceful life.

The man lost his life in the accident, leaving him alone in the cave full of memories.

At this moment, Naoki finally knew why he was so sad when he asked if he had always lived here alone.

"Ugh."

The old man in front of him let out a long sigh: "The real history is diametrically opposed to the well-known legends in the village, if they knew that the three treasure companions buried by them were bad Pokémon, I can't imagine what would happen at that time." ”

No one can guarantee that they will be regarded as heretics and persecuted again.

Naoki nodded, "I see." ”

The old man's gaze swept over the Pokémon beside him again, and he was about to say something, but the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.

"Bang!"

A little boy about four or five years old and a girl a little older broke straight in.

The two people who eavesdropped were full of anger: "It's too much! The people of the village actually treated the ghost like this! ”

Seeing the two of them, the old man and Yukiko were shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull them in, and then took a closer look outside, and saw that the words just now were not heard by others, so they breathed a sigh of relief, and then closed the door again.

Yukiko covered the girl's mouth and warned, "Be quiet, you must not say it!" ”

The girl was angry: "But... But! ”

The boy was silent and did not speak, but judging by his expression, he must have been angry as well.

The old man's face was full of helplessness: "It's not a good child to eavesdrop on adults!" ”

The sister and brother bowed their heads weakly.

The old man sighed: "Alas, I originally planned to tell you when you grow up, but since you have all heard it, then keep this truth firmly in your heart, and you must not tell it to the outside!" ”

Yukiko looked at Naoki: "I'm sorry, let you smile, these two children are my granddaughter Danyu and grandson Wuli." ”

Naoki looked at the two people he didn't know in front of him and nodded, which can be regarded as saying hello to them.

After calming the emotions of his granddaughter and grandson, the old man looked at Naoki and said to him:

"Look at you, you're a great trainer, aren't you? In that case, go and subdue the Doom in a trainer's way and take it out of this place! ”

Hearing this, Naoki Shin said that it would be good to say if the Doom was a wild Pokémon, but looking at it now, it was clear that the Doom was not a wild Pokémon.

He was willing to take Doom out of here to start a new life, but it wasn't certain whether Doom was willing to leave this place full of memories.

"I'm going to try it." Naoki said.

"Then please." The old man nodded: "If there is anything you need help with, you can come to us and help make up for the villagers' debt to the Evil Tree!" ”

Naoki nodded, then stood up to say goodbye to the old man, and turned to leave, ready to go to see the Doom again.

But before he could walk out of the door, the two children named Danyu and Wuli chased out.

"Uncle!" Danyu shouted.

Naoki's face darkened, he doesn't seem to be that old, right?!

Dan Yu turned to look at his younger brother who was hiding behind him, with a look of hatred that could not be made of steel, and then roared at him: "Wuli, you coward, what do you have to say!" ”

Wu Li hesitated to step forward, and then plucked up the courage to ask, "That, are you a trainer?" ”

Naoki looked at him and nodded, "Sort of!" ”

The main business rancher and side job trainer are no problem.

Wu Li breathed a sigh of relief, and then whispered: "I've been very fond of the Ox Tree since I was a child, and after listening to my grandfather just now, I hope it can live a better life, so if the Ox Tree is willing to leave here, you must take care of it!" ”

Naoki was slightly stunned, then nodded with a smile: "I will." ”

Bidding farewell to the siblings, Naoki rode directly to the Ghost Mountain and found the cave again.

To his surprise, however, the Doom was not here.

Naoki looked around and didn't find the figure of Doom, it looked like it was out of the house.

In desperation, he had no choice but to return to Verdant Town.

*

Late at night, Ghost Mountain.

Doom sat on the stone bench with his mask as usual, but there was an extra pile of tree fruits on the stone table today compared to before.

Doom remembered in a daze what had happened in the past two days.

On that day, it met the strange human on the Ghost Mountain.

In the impression of Doom, it has been a long, long time since anyone dared to come to this place.

So it hid and quietly watched the other party's movements.

As a result, the other party was very keen, discovered it at once, and followed it to find its home.

At first, the Doom was terrified, thinking that the human would drive it away and attack it.

But instead of doing this, the other party greeted it in a friendly manner and gave it a few tree fruits.

Doom was very surprised, but it was too frightened, and it had never encountered such a thing, so it ran out of the door and fled.

When it returned to the cave, it saw a hill of tree fruits on the stone table.

He thought he would never come back after he left, but the next day, the man came back and spoke to him in a friendly and friendly manner, and gave him some food before leaving.

But there are so many tree fruits, it can't eat them all!

Will he come back tomorrow? A hint of anticipation appeared in Doom's heart.

Doom looked at the table full of tree fruits in front of him, and suddenly thought of what happened a long, long time ago.

While it was still in its infancy, a tall human adopted it.

The man came here with him and took care of it like a child.

He would also bring fruit from outside and put it on the table for it to eat.

In Doom's heart, the other party is like its father.

However...... But the man left.

That day, it went to the town in a rage and killed the four greedy Pokémon in order to avenge the man.

But the man who adopted it never came back.

"Smack!"

A tear dripped on the torn green grass mask, and then another.

The thought was silent, and Doom buried his face in the mask, sobbing suppressedly with the sudden heavy rain outside.

*

Early the next morning.

A sudden, heavy rain enveloped the entire verdant town.

The agricultural exchange meeting was suspended, and Naoki could only stay in the public hall to listen to the rain.

A few Pokémon were listless in the room.

Naoki looked at it for a while, then immediately stood up, put them back in the Poké Balls, put on a raincoat, and rode to the Ghost Mountain.

It wasn't until he saw the figure of the masked man holding the mask in the dreadhole that Naoki's heart breathed a sigh of relief.

He took Oldton into the hole.

After learning the story of the Doom Tree, Naoki is not right to look at the Doom Tree now.

Because this Pokémon is really pitiful.

Hated by the people of Emerald Town, he can only hide alone in this cave full of memories with that mask all day long.

Naoki, who is overflowing with compassion, walks in with a backpack of food.

He didn't know how to comfort the Doom, so he could only pour the food on the stone table and give it to him, completely ignoring that the tree fruit Doom had not finished eating yesterday.

Doom stared blankly at the busy humans in front of him.

It didn't think the other party would come today......

"Give!" Naoki grinned, and then handed over a bottle of goat's milk that had been warmed in the public hall, and for fear that the goat's milk would be cold, he also deliberately put it in his pocket and covered it: "It's cold on a rainy day, drink some hot to warm up." ”

He slipped the goat's milk into Doom's hand, then turned and took a towel from his backpack to wipe the cold rain on his body to keep it from catching a cold.

Seeing that Doom looked over to this side, Naoki comforted: "Don't be afraid of it, it's called Gu Leton, it's a little fierce, but it's actually very docile!" ”

"Ahh Therefore, Leton shook the rain off his body and shook the straight tree all over his body.

After wiping off the body, Naoki opened his backpack again, and took out the blanket that his brother and sister had stuffed for him and spread it on the stone bed.

Then, the lava worm was released from the Poké Ball.

With the help of warm lava worms, the icy cavern quickly warmed up.

It was raining heavily outside the cave, but inside the cave was a beautiful and warm scene.

Even the dusty walls were warmly orange reflected in the glow of the lava worms.

In just a few minutes, the cave was turned upside down.

It was so fast that Doom didn't even react.

"Boni ......"

Naoki took a frying pan out of his backpack, placed it on the lava worm, and began to make breakfast for Doom.

"Excuse me, Lava Worm." As he spoke, Naoki fed the two tree fruits to the lava worm, and when the lava worm ate all the tree fruits, the body temperature on its body soared upward.

The oil in the pan quickly heated up and crackled.

Naoki hurriedly cracked in the eggs, added the sliced tomatoes, and when the process was completed, he baked two slices of fragrant bread with the help of lava worms.

Finally, the fried eggs and other ingredients are placed in the soft bread to make a hot sandwich.

Naoki handed the sandwich to Doom, "Eat it!" ”

Doom's face was overwhelmed.

Naoki realized that his actions would be a little too abrupt for Doom.

So he thought for a moment and told the doom about it: "Don't worry, doom. ”

At first hearing the human in front of him call out its name, the look of surprise on Doom's face was obvious.

"Poni...?"

"One of the villagers down the hill has told me everything about you."

"Boni ......"

"That man is a descendant of the craftsman who once made the mask for you, and he is very sorry for what you have been through."

"Boni ......"

"I'm sad, but I know from the first time I see you that you're not the brutal ghost that the rumors say."

Hearing this, Doom looked up, its eyes like a bright star.

Naoki grinned, "So, trust me, we have no ill will, we won't hurt you, and we won't hate you, because you've never done anything wrong." ”

Doom was stunned, looking at the human in front of it, and then a happy expression appeared on its face.

"Boni Boni ~"

"Let's eat!"

Doom finally began to eat the sandwich, but as it ate, large tears suddenly fell from its eyes.

Years of loneliness, ostracism, the grievance of having his mask taken away, and the pain of his father being hurt by the bad guys......

All kinds of emotions were intertwined, making Doom so sad that he couldn't control his tears.

Naoki was a little confused, why did he cry all of a sudden?

Naoki didn't know what to do, he hurriedly got up, but he didn't think that a few Poké Balls in his pocket accidentally fell out.

The Poké Balls that fell to the ground automatically opened on impact, and the figures of two Pokémon emerged from the white light.

One is fluttering wings, the other is a motorcycle.

The motorcycle lizard was so sad to see that Pokémon crying, and he couldn't help but be confused.

And Zhen Yifa's eyes were on the Pokémon's side.

As a ghost-like Pokémon, it keenly felt a strong obsession there.

I saw a tall and majestic figure standing beside Doom and looking at it.

As if aware that he had been discovered, the ghost turned its head and looked at Flutterwing.

When Doom stopped crying, Naoki wiped away his tears and asked, "Do you want to leave here with us?" ”

Doom was stunned.

Naoki said truthfully, "I'm a trainer who came here from other places, and in a few days, I'll be leaving here." ”

"So, I want to leave this place with you and go to my hometown, where no one will be afraid of you and will not exclude you, they are all good people who like Pokémon very much."

"I also have a lot of Pokémon to live with at home, and you can also meet a lot of new friends there, do you want to go with us?"

As he spoke, Naoki stretched out his hand towards Doom.

Strange listened to these words in a daze.

It looked down at the mask in its hand, then at the humans in front of it, thinking that when the other party left, they would never be seen again......

Thinking of this, Doom couldn't help but feel very sad.

But......

Looking at the hand that had invited it, Doom looked around again, glancing at the warm cavern.

It suddenly felt scared, and it didn't want to go back to that cold, lonely atmosphere.

So, Doom plucked up his courage and carefully stretched out his hand, placing it on the human hand in front of him.

Naoki was relieved inside, and then backhanded the slightly cold little hand of Doom.

"Come home with me, then!" Naoki said softly.

"Poni!"

The rain outside stopped at some point, and Naoki walked out of the dinosaur cave with a few Pokémon.

After the rain, the sky was clear, and overhead was a cloudless blue sky.

Just looking up at the sky makes you feel refreshed.

Naoki didn't leave immediately, he turned to look at the cave where Doom had once lived, and silently assured in his heart:

"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of the Doom, and I will never let it fall into the same situation again!"

At the same time, Zhen Yifa was also looking back in the direction of the hole.

It saw the ghost come out, stood in front of the cave and looked at them, and waved goodbye to them.

Zhenyi felt that the strong obsession was dissipating, and eventually, the ghost disappeared from the world.

"Flap your wings?"

At this moment, Naoki's voice came from behind him.

Flapping Wings turned his head away.

Naoki took out the Poké Ball and said to it, "It's time for us to go back!" ”

"Dreams."

Fluttering responded, turning his head and burrowing into the Poké Ball.

Push the book: The book of the fox giant, the beginning of the treacherous pon, very good, worth a look!
