[Pokemon] Sycamore

"One of the purposes of coming to Aldomare is to process the smaller one into a jewelry suitable for me. I haven't figured out the details yet."

"The only thing I know is that this is not unique like the Heart Drop. There are even similar beads in the hands of my...friends."

Xiaotong paused halfway through speaking for some unknown reason.

You and Daigo... can really be called friends, right?But the subtle thing is that it feels like more than that.

Xiaotong, who still couldn't grasp the thought, shook her head and didn't want to think about it for the time being, and returned her gaze to Canon and Ben Gray.

The two of them didn't know what to say for a moment, but two figures approaching quickly brought a whirlwind to Xiaotong's side.

"Wu~Wu~~" Compared to Latias who couldn't help but curiously moved in front of Xiaotong's eyes, Latias temporarily floated aside and watched, but his eyes also twinkled very obviously.

Xiaotong was not a stingy guy either. She opened her palms with a smile and held beads of one large and one small in each hand, letting Latias choose.

Looking at Latias, he looked like a little kitten who had just seen a ball of wool and stretched out his paws to pat him. Xiaotong felt that this scene was so cute and soothing.

I saw Latias extending his little paw and was about to touch the big purple-red bead. Xiaotong was just waiting for Latias to touch the bead and retract his arm slightly to tease the little guy.

But how could she expect the accident that would happen next?

"Ladia...huh!?"

The moment Latias' little claws touched the surface of the sphere, a burst of soft yet powerful white light flashed out instantly.

The sudden accident made Xiaotong retract her arm subconsciously, her eyes widened as she watched the bead that fell to the ground continue to glow after leaving her palm. Before she could make any reaction, another similar light appeared. It burst out from the right fist that was subconsciously clenched just now. ?

This time, Xiaotong finally threw the small beads out without being surprised, but even so, she could only hold the small ball that continued to shine with her arms stiffly, looking at it and the big purple-red beads that were still rolling on the ground. It flickers like a response.

After about half a minute, the light in the two beads finally slowly converged and returned to its usual state, and the light finally dissipated completely.

"Wu?" Poking his head out from behind Xiaotong, Latias looked at Xiaotong with confusion and a bit of uneasiness in his eyes. His little paws pulled the hem of Xiaotong's clothes, thinking that he was someone who had done something wrong and was waiting for his parents to punish him. children.

It didn't know why it happened like this after just touching it.

Latias blinked aggrievedly.

"It's your fault Latias, I didn't expect this." Xiaotong tightened the transparent beads in her hands, and after comforting Latias, she walked forward and picked up the purple-red beads.

"Grandpa, did you see what happened just now?" Canon, who also witnessed the scene just now, covered his mouth, then turned to look at his grandfather in surprise.

"Does this picture have any other meaning?"

Ben Gray stroked his white beard with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Xiaotong, can you lend me the beads in your hand?"

Hearing Ben Gray's request, Xiaotong just hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said, "If you don't mind the situation just now... please."

The open palm hesitated briefly and then turned ninety degrees. The purple-red beads rolled against the curvature of the palm and fell into the thicker and rougher palm.

There was no light, not even movement.

This made Xiaotong breathe a sigh of relief.

Taking the big bead from Xiaotong's hand, Ben Gray raised it to his eyes and looked at it carefully. The double helix pattern seemed to be alive and reflected a beautiful light. This scene impressed Ben Gray's eyes and even made him I felt astonished at seeing the water droplets of my heart for the first time.

But the transparent bead that was also taken over never made any movement in Ben Gray's hands.

What conditions were just reached?Could it be... Latias?

Xiaotong looked at the image on the slate thoughtfully for a while, then turned her head and looked at Latias, who was still tired of her innocent face.

"Is it related to Latias?" Kanon also thought about Xiaotong at the same time, so he said to Ben Gray: "Grandpa, do you think Xiaotong and Latias are the key? "

"That's right." Ben Gray thought for a moment and waved for Latios to come closer.

Ben Gray motioned for Latios to touch the purple-red bead, but this move, which was exactly the same as Xiaotong and Latias just now, did not bring about any change.

Maybe ask Daigo what he can know... Xiaotong, who took back the two beads, planned this. When he raised his head, he saw the look on Canon's face was the same as that of Latias just now.

Curious gaze.

"Canon also want to try?"

"Ah? Can I do that?" Although Canon said this, her hand tightening on the strap of her shoulder bag revealed her desire.

"Of course, I can't figure out the function of the beads for the time being anyway, so let's give Canon a try."

After Xiaotong said this, she put two beads into Kanon's hand without waiting for her to respond.

"Maybe..." Xiaotong saw Canon, who was a painter, admiring the beads with joy. Then he rolled his eyes and whispered something to Latias in his ear.

Shaking her white pointed ears, Latias barked happily. She seemed to find Xiaotong's suggestion very interesting, so she followed Xiaotong's instructions and sneakily approached Canon, and hit her from behind when she wasn't paying attention. It touched the purple-red bead that had attracted it from the beginning.

"Wow!?"

Following Kanon's frightened exclamation, Xiaotong stared closely at the reaction of the beads in Kanon's hand.

The white light flashed invisibly, but disappeared immediately.

It was completely incomparable to the huge momentum just now.

This extremely brief change was not noticed by anyone except Xiaotong, who had keen senses.

Xiaotong, who was slightly disappointed, calmly took back the two beads that belonged to him, and asked seemingly casually: "Canon, did you feel anything when you held the beads just now?"

"Or, what were you thinking at that time?"

"Huh? I just sighed at how dazzling they are. This gave me some inspiration for the next work." Kanon responded without thinking.

And at that time, I only wanted to play with Latias and focus entirely on Latias... Could this be the key?Xiaotong made a bold assumption and carefully verified it after preparation.

Maybe this will be the key to unlocking the secrets of the slate!

Xiaotong's eyes sparkled.

I didn't expect that I could foresee such interesting things during a trip and explore the mysteries of the legend myself.

But this is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Fortunately, she still has time to stay in Odomare.

Soon, the day came to an end.

The colors of dusk spilled through the dense branches and leaves, dyeing the entire space red.

Night is coming.

It was time to part.

Afterwards, under Ben Gray's repeated requests, Xiaotong agreed to keep the secrets of this fairyland, including of course the existence of the Heart Drop and Latias Latios.

After all, there are always people with malicious intentions in this world.

Speaking of malicious intentions…

There is one more important matter that must be taken care of first.
