[Pokemon] Late Autumn

After soaking in the hot spring, Daigo embarked on his way back to the alliance headquarters. But before leaving, he specifically asked him to go to Dewen Company in late autumn when he passed by Kanaz City. He said that some researchers had already analyzed some results about the crystal from the universe.

If you really go back to Chenghua City from here, you can just pass by Kanaz City. However, compared to the results of the analysis, Shen Qiu was still more concerned about the inexplicable emotions and the immersive situation that came from the crystal - or it would be more appropriate to call it the energy body.

I can’t tell you what it feels like, but if you can understand it better...

It seems that I am looking forward to it and want to know more about it.

After saying goodbye to Dawu, Shenqiu and Yasha set off from Fuyan Town.

However, Yasha has a temperament that doesn't care about the route at all. She follows Shenqiu the whole way without caring about where she is going.

"Are all the people in Fuyan Town so enthusiastic..."

"Huh? What?"

"The old lady who passed by just now knew that I was a trainer and enthusiastically recommended me to visit the famous waterfalls in Hoenn... It seems to be called Meteor Falls."

Late Qiu looked at the map on his watch while walking, searching for the location of Meteor Falls.

Coincidentally, when I contacted Mr. Xia Jia just now, Xia Jia also said that Meteor Falls is a place worth visiting. I heard that many powerful dragon elves live in the caves nearby.

Late Qiu was really surprised at that time.

The introduction to the Hoenn tourist destination clearly only mentions that Meteor Falls is a large cave formed by falling meteorites. There are many waterfalls distributed in the depths and outside of the cave... But why does Mr. Shaka, who is far away in the Hezhong area, know this? Kind of information?

"Don't underestimate the museum owner's previous contacts."

Asha put her head over and looked at the map above and thought for a moment, "Speaking of this, I remember hearing about a legend about Hoenn when I was a child, related to Meteor Falls."

"What legend?"

Yasha tried hard to recall memories that were too long ago, while explaining to Shenqiu: "Thousands of years ago, a group of very powerful witches once predicted that a huge group of meteorites would land in this area, but no one believed it at the time... until There are indeed meteorites falling here.

"This is not over. The obvious fact is that if the meteorite falls big enough - then the entire continent will be leveled.

"It's a coincidence that among the meteorites thousands of years ago, there was such a huge meteorite that could destroy the entire continent."

Asha picked up a branch and drew it on the ground. Meteorites of various sizes fell from people's heads. At a higher position, she drew an even larger circle, covering the sky and the sun.

Immediately afterwards, she drew a huge dragon blocking the huge meteorite.

"Fortunately, the disaster did not happen. Because among this group of shrine maidens there was a very powerful shrine maiden who could communicate with the legendary elf Rayquaza. So in the end, with people's devout prayers, together with Rayquaza, they gave their power to They gathered together to prevent the meteorite from falling.

"That's probably it. Ah, the crater of Meteor Falls was formed by the meteorite that fell at that time."

"..." Late Qiu didn't react for a while.

"Actually... I heard," Asha paused and whispered, "this is real."

Shen Qiu opened her mouth and stared blankly at the picture drawn by Yasha, but found that she didn't know what to say at this time, and she only felt that she was in a huge shock.

She was completely attracted by this legend, and an inexplicable sense of majesty kept her silent for a long time.

However, there are still many questions that have not been clarified, such as how Xia Jia knew that there were many powerful dragon elves in Meteor Falls.

There are also the meteorites on Yantu Mountain, and...the mysterious cosmic crystal I put in Dewen Company.

There must be some connection.

All kinds of strange and weird thoughts flashed through her mind. Late Qiu felt that something was about to happen, but she couldn't grasp any clues.

Late Qiu was thinking so hard here that Yasha called her several times without hearing her.

Yasha nodded her head suddenly: "Don't think about it now! Come to your senses quickly, we are about to set off!"

"Oh no……"

……

However, travel always comes with various trials.

"Impossible, my map is infallible, the Meteor Falls should be right in front..."

Late Qiu looked at Yantu Mountain, which was still towering in the distance, and compared the map with the scene ahead, looking confused.

But what came into view was a land barren of grass. Huge cracks separated the land into fragments. This arid appearance had nothing to do with Meteor Falls.

Did you go the wrong way?

But in fact, her sense of direction is surprisingly good. Unless her watch loses signal, it is impossible for her to get lost.

"I don't know where this place is... Ah Shenqiu! Look!" Yasha suddenly raised her head and looked at the elves in the sky in the distance, "That's an armored bird!"

"Yes... and I also felt the ground shaking."

"Earthquake?!" Yasha was shocked.

Heiruga next to him shook his head. It lay slightly on the ground, feeling the strange vibration coming from the ground, and finally roared softly for a long time.

"It should be some kind of elf digging a hole underground." Shen Qiu and Hei Lujia looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

It seems that this elf should be relatively large, otherwise the movement would not be so obvious.

"It feels weird... Let's get through here quickly." Asha frowned.

But it is already late.

The three-in-one magnet monsters patrolling not far away discovered strange humans appearing in their territory. They narrowed their eyes and flew quickly in the direction of Shen Qiu and the others.

The three-in-one magnet monster was not polite, a golden arc flashed across its body, and a beam of one hundred thousand volts hit directly towards Shen Qiu and the others!

"Be careful!" Shen Qiu reacted promptly and immediately pulled Yasha to the side to hide.

Heiluga was immediately angered by the behavior of the three-in-one magnet monster. He stepped in front of Shen Qiu and Yasha, roared, and a powerful jet of flame collided head-on with a hundred thousand volts in the air. With a sound, there was a huge explosion of electricity and fire.

"Spray flames!" Shen Qiu shouted.

After feeling the same anger as Late Qiu, Heiluga narrowed his eyes and jumped out of the gray smoke. After accurately finding the direction of the three-in-one magnet monster, he hit the opponent with another merciless jet of flames. .

The fire-type moves had an outstanding effect on the three-in-one Magnemite with steel attributes. The opponent was startled by Heiluga's fierce gaze, and had no choice but to glare at them unwillingly, and then flew away in despair.

"Well done Kuruga."

After the battle, Shen Qiu did not relax at all. Instead, he frowned as he looked at the three-in-one magnet monster going away, "But the situation is not good. That three-in-one magnet monster should have gone back to fetch reinforcements."

"I was shocked just now...Thank you Shenqiu and Heiluga." Yasha breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's fine."

"Well... I probably know where this is." "We should have broken into the territory of a certain elf." Suddenly, Yasha and Shenqiu spoke at the same time.

They stared at each other in shock, then relaxed a little for a moment, looking at each other and laughing at the same time.

Yasha spoke first: "Let me tell you first. When I was very young, my grandfather took me here once. This place is called the Valley of Steel. It got its name because there are many steel elves who are not easy to mess with."

"Sure enough... this is the territory of the steel type elves." Shen Qiu looked at Hei Lujia and said with a smile, "That's nothing to worry about. After all, the steel type is afraid of fire, and Hei Lujia is not that easy to deal with."

"It seems that if I don't show my skills well, those guys will really underestimate me." Yasha was not afraid of the coming danger at all, but showed a slightly excited smile, "Come out, Mag, Fierce Arrow Eagle!"

"Hmm, haven't you seen it?" Yasha let the Arrow Eagle rest on her arm, smiling brightly and proudly, "This child has the attributes of fire and flying. It is a coming-of-age gift from my mother. He comes from the distant Kalos area, the speed is extremely fast.”

The Fierce Arrow Eagle looked at Late Autumn and waved its wings.

"It's very handsome. This is the first time I've seen the elves in the Kalos area." Late Qiu praised.

Asha stroked the feathers on the Arrow Eagle and raised her arm to let it fly. "Please, Arrow Eagle, go ahead and observe the situation."

The Fierce Arrow Eagle lived up to its name. It flew high into the sky in an instant like a launched rocket. In the eyes of Shen Qiu and Yasha, its retreating figure became smaller and smaller.

"Mag, please take charge of the surrounding vigilance." Yasha rubbed the lava bug's head.

"In that case...Lucario!"

Late Qiu also released Lucario, "Please use the waveguide to detect the surroundings."

After being vigilant, Shenqiu and Yasha continued to move forward cautiously. On the way, when they encountered little Magnemites and three-in-one Magnemites, which were not very strong elves, Lucario, Heiluga and Lava Worms immediately took action to deal with them, making Shenqiu and Asha feel relieved little by little.

During this period, Asha's lava bugs even evolved into lava snails, which made the happy Asha even forget that she was still in the territory of the steel elves.

The vibrations under the ground stopped, and Shen Qiu stopped, suddenly feeling a bad premonition in her heart.

Sure enough, not long after, there was a roar from far away, and then the ground began to shake violently, and the shaking feeling became more and more obvious.

"...Something is coming." Shen Qiu said in a deep voice.

Lucario's wave missiles are ready to go, and the lava snail Mag and Heiluga's flame jets are also ready.

A sharp cry rang out from the air first, and the first ones to attack were two armored birds. Two elves came to double-team Shen Qiu and the others, one on the left and one on the right. However, before they could appear, the Fierce Arrow Eagle used its extremely high flying speed to fly back twice, one to the left and one to the right, and directly collided with the two armored birds. .

"With the characteristics of the Wings of Wind, the Fiery Arrow Eagle can give priority to using flying-type moves during the battle." Yasha said.

But the armored birds did not suffer much damage. They spread their wings, and their wings lit up with a silvery light, rushing towards them unstoppably.

"Mag!" "Heiluga!"

"Spray flames!" Shenqiu and Yasha said in unison.

Two jets of flame with similar power but slightly different colors hit the armored birds on the left and right respectively, but they did not flinch back this time, but hovered in the air and screamed loudly.

The tremors on the ground have reached their peak, and it seems like something is about to come out.

Under the vigilant gazes of Shen Qiu and Yasha, a huge elf with a silver-white body twisted its long body and emerged from the ground. This is clearly a huge steel snake!

"Sure enough, this big steel snake should be their leader." Asha looked serious.

"We just want to pass here!" Shenqiu tried to communicate.

The big steel snake looked down at them condescendingly, then turned its head to listen to what the little magnets and armored birds were communicating next to them. Suddenly, it roared angrily, its tail lit up with a dazzling light, and it swung around and hit it hard.

...Not only did the communication fail, but the other party also got an iron tail in exchange. Late Qiu sighed and pulled Yasha away from the statue.

"Reply with flames!"

Seeing the humans on the ground trying to resist their leader, the three-in-one magnet monster and the armored bird next to them wanted to step forward to help, but were driven back by the sharp eyes of the big steel snake.

Although the flame spray was extremely effective, the big steel snake didn't seem to be in any particular pain. It narrowed its eyes, roared, glanced at the several elves on the ground, and suddenly stopped attacking, waiting for something.

"It said it wanted to have a one-on-one duel." Lucario used the waveguide to translate the meaning of the big steel snake to Shenqiu and the others.

"Oh? Interesting, then I'll..."

Shenqiu was about to say something, but was stopped by Yasha: "I'll do it."

"Asha?"

"You have taken action many times just now. Leave it to me this time." Yasha chuckled and moved her shoulders and wrists. "Otherwise, I will always feel underestimated."

Seeing Yasha like this, Shen Qiu didn't say anything more, smiled and handed the venue to Yasha, letting her play to her heart's content.

"It's up to you this time, Arrow Eagle!" Yasha raised her head and shouted to the Arrow Eagle hovering above her head.

"Hot air!"

The Fierce Arrow Eagle flew over and flapped its wings violently above the head of the big steel snake. The hot wind blew directly at the big steel snake, making it look very uncomfortable.

After being attacked so many times, the big steel snake was still able to hold on. It hit the ground with its tail heavily, knocking up many rock blocks and causing these huge rocks to smash into the Fierce Arrow Eagle in the air.

"Avoid!"

The Fierce Arrow Eagle quickly shuttled among the boulders in the rockfall, but was not hit at all. Instead, it approached the big steel snake covertly.

"Flash Charge!"

As soon as Asha finished speaking, the entire body of the Fiery Arrow Eagle lit up with a golden-red light. As this power enveloped the whole body, the Fiery Arrow Eagle soared high into the sky, trailing sparks like a missile full of ammunition. Like a bomber, it rushed straight towards the big steel snake below!

Flash Charge is one of the most powerful fire-attribute moves. Its power should not be underestimated. A successful hit may cause the opponent to be burned, but at the same time, it will cause considerable repercussions to the user.

The Big Steel Snake was directly hit by the Fire Arrow Eagle's flame charge. It seemed that it was seriously injured, but the Fire Arrow Eagle also suffered a lot of counter-injury. It quickly left the Big Steel Snake and hovered in the sky again, waiting. The next time to attack.

However, the big steel snake had no intention of attacking this time. It narrowed its eyes and looked at the Fierce Arrow Eagle, and then it moved its huge body in silence for a long time, opening the way for them to move forward.

"It seems that it has been recognized." Lucario whispered.

"Indeed...so that guy Asa, really let me go during the gym battle, right?"

"Thank you, Big Steel Snake!" Yasha happily took back Mag and the Fierce Arrow Eagle, thanked the huge Big Steel Snake, and then turned back, letting her pull Shen Qiu away, "Let's go, Shen Qiu. Keep heading towards Meteor Falls!”

The big steel snake silently watched their retreating figures. After a long time, it swung around and burrowed back under the soil.

They have the will and courage to move forward and can overcome any difficulties.
