Pokémon: Stranger Things

"Dust! I'm so glad you're here!"

Feng Lu, the owner of Fuji Gymnasium, has been waiting for Dust in the Gymnasium for a long time.She is a young girl with a healthy, wheat-colored complexion, giving people a sense of youthful vitality.

In fact, Fenglu is indeed very young, and she can be regarded as young among the curators in the Hezhong area, and she is the same age as Chensha and the others.

"I'm also very happy to meet you... Fenglu."

Seeing Feng Lu who warmly opened her arms to her, Chen Sha had no choice but to go up to her, and greeted Feng Lu with a hug.

"I heard Xiao Ju'er talk about you! Although I still want to talk to you more...but now there is one thing that you must do."

Feng Lu and Xiao Ju'er, the owner of Leiwen City, are very close friends, and Chen Sha also has a rather shady relationship with Xiao Ju'er, so naturally Feng Lu also knows her a little bit.

Being able to see the dust with her own eyes really gave Feng Lu a lot to say.But as the staff said before, now is not the time to chat, Chensha still has a lot of things to do.

"You can wait until you have time....I'll listen."

"That would be great! Without further ado, I'll tell you about that right now! Wait a minute!"

Chensha can also feel Fenglu's heart.If it's just chatting, there's no problem and it won't take much time, so Chensha promised Fenglu that they can talk after the matter is resolved.

Feng Lu was happy when she heard it.But the excitement is the excitement, the business still needs to be done.She rummaged through the filing cabinet on the side for a long time, and finally found a page.

"Chensha, you should know, right? On the No. [-] road near Fukiyo City, there is a tower of heaven, which is the place where the dead elves rest forever."

Although Chensha had never visited the tower of heaven mentioned by Fenglu before, he did know about it.As a building similar to an elf cemetery, the Tower of Heaven is very similar to the Elf Tower in Shion Town in the Kanto area, the Sending Volcano in the Hoenn area, and the Lost Tower in the Sinnoh area.

"And on the top of the Tower of Heaven, there is a big bell that can purify the soul. It is said that the bell can not only appease the souls of elves, but also reflect the heart of the person who rings it... oh yes, Mr. Adek, the champion of the United League, entrusted me to convey this to you. Mr. Adek said he would wait for you at the top of the tower, but he didn’t tell me what he wanted to say. It’s really profound.”

Looking at the page in Feng Lu's hand, Chen Sha could indeed guess who left the commission.

In this era of rapid technological development, almost everyone can use electronic devices.But there is one well-known person in the United States who is not good at using electronic devices-the current league champion Adek.He doesn't even like to use the elf storage device, let alone use the instant messenger.

Thinking of this, it is normal for him to entrust Fenglu with a letter.

"I understand, let's start now...Feng Lu, do you have anything to do?"

Having learned enough information, Chensha decided to leave immediately for the Tower of Heaven.But before turning around to leave, she didn't forget about Feng Lu, and asked her if she had any plans.

"I'll stay here and prepare for the gym battle for a while! Come on!"

As the head of the gymnasium, you really need to prepare well when facing a challenger with the strength of Dust.So Fenglu doesn't plan to go with Chensha and his party this time - although she really wants to go.

After bidding farewell to Fenglu, Chensha and his party followed the map and set foot on the No. [-] road.As the most conspicuous landmark building on this road, the outline of the white tower of heaven is clearly visible in the distance.

On the outside of the Tower of Heaven, there is a passage like a winding mountain road.If you want to reach the top of the tower, you have to walk this way.It stands to reason that there should be safer and more convenient road planning, but the builders still chose this method.From Chensha's point of view, this may be conveying the importance of life to the passengers who set foot on this tower, and wants to teach everyone what things should be cherished by both elves and humans.

"Okay, let's go up."

After waiting for Tianman to finish admiring and take pictures with the camera tomorrow, Chensha sighed and stepped into the interior of the Tower of Heaven with his two partners.

The interior of the Tower of Heaven is different from the cemetery of elves in several other regions, and there are also trainers who quietly mourn their lost partners here.Chensha signaled Tianman not to make a sound, passed through the crowd, and continued to move towards the top of the Tower of Heaven.

The road to the top of the tower is very steep, and the only good thing is that there are guardrails here.Not only is there a place to grab, but it can also somewhat protect passengers from falling off the road.

Rarely does anyone make a special trip to the top of the Tower of Heaven if there is nothing special to do.Therefore, when Chensha and his party finally reached the top of the tower, the only one standing here was Adek standing near the big clock.

"You're here, Chensha. Come here."

"Yes, Mr. Adek."

Adek saw the arrival of Chensha and others.And Chensha followed his call and came to the big clock.

"I told you my story before. This tower of heaven sleeps my former companions..."

"It's the Vulcan moth, right?"

After many years, Adek has long been relieved of this past experience, but if he took the initiative to bring it up, he would feel a little sad.Chensha could understand his mood, so he took the initiative to point out the elf's name for him.

"Yeah, that's also my first partner after I became a trainer. Thinking about it carefully, it was all many years ago, haha."

Adek laughed twice, as if he also thanked Chensha for telling him the name of Vulcan Moth.Then, he looked at the big clock in front of everyone.

"In order to let my partner's soul rest in peace, I occasionally come here to ring the bell. It is a very strong elf, and it is also trying to find the end and peak of strength with me at that time."

He put his hand on the clock body, as if he was nostalgic for that past memory.

"But just like all stories have an ending, all lives also have an end. After losing him, I realized one thing. The strength of power is not eternal, it will fade with time; But there is still room for the time spent with the elves...that joy is real and eternal. That's why I left the elves' alliance and traveled around the Hezhong area..... ..”

Adek's words also made Chensha fall into deep thought.In fact, she also felt the sense of time passing.It has been 14 years since she started traveling at the age of 5.A lot has happened along the way, and she has grown from a teenager to an adult.

How much time can human beings have?How much time can elves have?Maybe they don't even understand it themselves.The things you have now will also disappear with the progress of time...?In the end, it will all return to dust.

But memory is different.The memories engraved in the mind are impressive, real and never fade.Thinking about it carefully, it is these memories and experiences that make her feel happy and happy, which brought the things she relied on along the way.

"So do I... think so, Mr. Adek."

"I guessed that you would say that. Well, let's try to ring the bell next—the ringing bell will reflect the inner heart, and maybe it will be perceived by some kind of existence."

Adek took a few steps back and gave up his position to Chensha.

Looking at Adek and his two partners behind him, Chensha took a deep breath, and then rang the big bell in front of him.

The distant bell resounded over the sky of the entire tower of heaven, and gradually went out to the distance.Chensha doesn't know what kind of emotion is recorded in the bell, if it is real and effective, then it must be what he thinks in his heart.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Chensha feels that there seems to be a dazzling white light spot flickering in the distance.She rubbed her stinging eyes, and when she looked in that direction again, there was nothing there, and she could no longer find that light spot.

Maybe it's just an illusion.

"It's different from the sound when I rang the big bell. It's such a melodious and gentle bell, and it's even far from the bell. Chensha, I believe you can become a recognized existence, keep working hard. "

Adek put his hands on Chensha's shoulders, encouraging her to move forward as an elder.

"And I... have to continue my journey of exploration. Where is the legend hidden... It's really hard to find, haha."

After saying this, Adek walked down the stairs of the Tower of Heaven on his own.
