[Pokemon] Late Autumn

"Ah... I really didn't expect that our beloved Captain Huocun would make such a stupid mistake..."

In the shadows, Huo Cun, who was leaning against the wall, glanced at the person in front of him and clicked his tongue in boredom.

Team Fire Rock's unique red hood covered most of the visitor's face, and she perfectly hid herself in the darkness, making it impossible for anyone to identify her specific identity.

Huo Cun raised his head, and his sinister eyes looked at the other person unceremoniously several times before turning into a sharp sword that almost stabbed the other person.

However, as if he thought of something, he showed an interested smile.

"You're wrong...we still have something to gain."

He straightened up, adjusted the communicator hanging by his ear, glanced sideways at the team members behind him who had their heads lowered, and whispered, "Compile a report on Yantu Mountain's activities and give it to Chi Lord Yansong."

"Yes!"

I believe Lord Chi Yansong must be... towards that child...

Huimura sneered.

On the other side, the "child" they mentioned was encountering a "bombshell" at this time.

Late Qiu struggled to digest Hackron's meaning, and his brain was spinning rapidly.

What does this mean?

Shen Qiu hesitated for a moment, but chose to ask directly: "Are you saying... that I am also a "Meteor Citizen"?"

This is just... unbelievable.

She really didn't expect that the answers she couldn't get from Qianxiang would get new clues from Hackron.

Instead, Hackron looked at her strangely and replied in a calm voice: "The "Meteor People" have long lost the power they inherited. Whether it is or not has no effect on you. However, you can talk to me like this now... …”

"Not everyone can do this."

Hackron lowered his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Shenqiu seriously.

Inherited... power?

After listening, Shen Qiu was even more confused.

The confused Late Qiu floated to the surface of the water relying on Hackron, raised his head, and took a big breath of air. Just when she was thinking about what she wanted to ask, she found that Hackron was already swimming away with its tail wagging.

In late autumn, I had to give up.

She meditated as she sat on the shore, recalling the information she had received from Hackron. But these few words went through my mind over and over again, but I always felt that the other party seemed to have said everything, but also seemed to have said nothing clearly.

There are only two points of information that can be known now.

First, Hackron senses that he has the smell of the "Meteor People" on him, and perhaps he has the ability to "communicate with Hackron through waveguides"... But this does not mean that he is the "Meteor People". direct evidence of the people.

Second, Ha Kelong mentioned that the current "Meteor People" have lost the power they originally inherited. But what exactly is this power, and why the current "Meteor People" have lost this power, she has no idea about these questions.

Shen Qiu clenched her fist suddenly, and then slowly loosened it. She stared at her hand silently, as if she could see some special ability in it.

Benbenyu leaned against Late Qiu's legs and stayed with her quietly.

After a long while, Shenqiu sighed and touched Benbenyu's head, "I promised to play with you...but I broke my promise."

Benbenyu shook his head and lightly touched the palm of Shenqiu's hand.

Late Qiu slightly curled her lips.

Maybe, she could try harder... and give it a try.

"Late autumn?! When did you come up?"

Yasha walked over from behind her and took another towel to cover Ming Qiu's head, "Don't catch a cold."

With his head lowered and wiping his hair, he noticed from the corner of his eye that Heiluga and the others were running toward him in the distance, and said softly: "I... found a clue."

Hearing this, Yasha immediately cast a surprised look and didn't know how to respond.

Heiluga couldn't help but look at Lucario, and saw the same surprise in the other's eyes.

"...No rush, let's go in and sit down while you speak slowly."

Yasha asked Shenqiu to stay in the room first, and when she saw Qianxiang not far away looking curious but afraid to ask more questions, she also pulled Qianxiang in.

"It's okay, believe me, Shen Qiu doesn't mind."

The fire in the fireplace burned quietly, and a faint warmth came from the house, but late autumn couldn't help but sneeze.

Hei Lujia, who was lying next to him, immediately raised his eyes to observe Mian Qiu's face, then quietly leaned over and transferred his heat to the other person.

Mingqiu waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, looked at Asha and Qianxiang who were looking serious and confused, and then completely repeated what had just happened to them.

"You can actually communicate with...that Harker Dragon?" Asha asked in surprise.

Is this the point? Late Qiu looked at Yasha helplessly.

"Ah, I understand!" Qianxiang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Late Qiu, maybe you really are a 'people of the meteor'! Since Hackron said that, maybe your parents have the blood here - I Guess."

Shen Qiu nodded, she had indeed had this suspicion.

But she believes that her ability is closer to the so-called "waveguide"... But as Hackron said, whether she is a "people of the meteor" or not, it does not have much impact on herself.

"The power of inheritance..." Qianxiang was pleased that she could finally help. "I do know something about this, but that was a long time ago. Since there is such a thing, I will tell you everything I know. .”

Looks like I asked the right person this time. Late Qiu lowered his eyes and thought, it seemed that the angle he entered was wrong.

Qianxiang looked at Miqiu and Asha who were sitting upright, and slowly told the information she knew.

——According to legend, the power Rayquaza used to resolve the meteorite crisis in history was an extremely mysterious power, and its essence was a "connection" that occurred between humans and elves.

It is said that only when the inner desire is strong enough and the relationship between the person and the elf is close enough, can this "connection" reach its greatest potential, allowing the elf's ability to be temporarily greatly improved in a moment... At that time, only the first generation of shrine maidens Adults have this power.

Later, in order to prevent this power from being lost, the elders of the Meteor People selected the most promising children from each generation and asked them to undergo extensive training. They fought against the elves day and night, trying to develop The power of the first-generation miko-sama, and she took this power into her own hands.

But it is obvious that this ambition will not succeed.

Although the descendants of the miko did not inherit the power of their ancestors, they were very opposed to this approach of the elders. They tried their best to dissuade her, but to no avail. In the end, the conflict further intensified and two distinct factions were formed.

Led by the descendants of the miko, they believe that their selfish desires should not pollute their desire for power; led by several elders, they believe that this mysterious power should be owned by their "Meteor People" and cannot be controlled by outsiders.

In this way, they had an indelible difference.

"Later, they reached an agreement through battle. Among the descendants of the miko, each generation will select the strongest one to be named 'miko'. Although there is no need for training... There is also a loss of freedom as a symbol of this generation’s ‘power of inheritance’.”

But they all knew it. This kind of "symbol" sounds nice, and seems to have no worries about food and clothing, and a high status, but in fact it is no different from other people, and has even lost its freedom, like a canary in captivity.

Qianxiang smiled helplessly and bitterly: "And this generation is me. Even so, I can tell you very clearly that there is nothing special about me, nor do I have any weird abilities."

Asha couldn't help but asked curiously: "Since you have inherited it for so many generations, doesn't anyone have this kind of power?"

"Of course there is. My predecessor...she..." Qianxiang lowered her head slightly, "She is a very powerful miko, but it is a pity that...she was involved in a battle that had nothing to do with her. "

Asha knew that she mentioned something that she shouldn't have said, so she apologized in a low voice.

"It's okay. She has such a powerful power, but in the end..." Qianxiang smiled bitterly, "On the contrary, I feel that I am... pretty good like this."

After saying that, Qianxiang lowered her head and avoided the eyes of Miqiu and Asha.

Taiyo Eevee sensed Qianxiang's strange mood, walked over with graceful steps, gently brushed the back of Qianxiang's hand with his tail, and called out softly.

Qianxiang touched Taiyang Eevee's head, but heard Miqiu ask her softly.

"Do you really think so in your heart?"

Are you willing to be manipulated like this?

"If you really think so...then we are more likely to get lost in this cave now than to meet you here and listen to your story about the past like now."

As if a stone was thrown into the calm water, Qianxiang suddenly clenched her fists. An emotion of unwillingness, forbearance, grievance, jealousy, and boredom immediately surged into her heart. This emotion was like wildfire. The steps burned her heart, but she could only watch blankly, at a loss.

In the end, she just sighed softly, "I... don't know."

"No one is born like this. Your future should be determined by yourself, not them." Shen Qiu shook her head in disapproval, "You should do what you want to do. If you don't know what you want to do, If anything..."

"Then take your companions and go out to see this vast world!" Yasha added the second half of Shenqiu's sentence with a smile.

They looked at each other in unison and saw a consistent smile in each other's eyes.

Qianxiang raised her head and looked at them, her eyes gradually becoming firmer.

"All in all, I want to thank you. Qianxiang, you really helped me a lot, all of which are very important to me." Mid-Autumn stood up and expressed his gratitude to Qianxiang very sincerely.

After going through so much, she finally got a piece of the puzzle from the past, an important clue.

"Are you leaving so soon? Don't you want to stay a little longer?"

"To be honest, having such an experience here is the motivation for me to move forward. Now, it is time to go to the next destination."

A faint smile appeared on Mingqiu's lips, and her clear voice was soft and powerful, making Qianxiang seem to see another possibility of herself.

Late autumn is colorful, just like the dazzling ores in the meteor waterfall. Although she is not clear about her past, at this moment and in the future, she uses travel to write about herself and memories to decorate herself.

Qianxiang looked at Miqiu who was talking to Kuruga and the others, and smiled helplessly.

Such colors... She has never seen them here, never in Meteor.

"Sure enough... it's right." Qianxiang whispered, and she suddenly clenched her fists, "I must go, the outside world -"

"But does your identity matter?" Yasha reminded her.

"I have decided, grandma will definitely agree. As for the others..." Qianxiang didn't say anything, just raised a "kind" smile, "In short, she is a miko and a trainer."

They all understood the meaning behind this sentence. The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"I have a hunch that we will meet again." Shen Qiu blinked, "I hope that time will be at the alliance conference."

"...Why do you set goals for others without permission?" Yasha hit Mingqiu on the head helplessly, and then looked at Qianxiang, "Don't listen to her nonsense. Just do whatever you want to do, Whatever you want to be, work hard for it, Qianxiang, I’m optimistic about you!”

"Thank you! Late autumn, Asha, have a nice trip!"

Their joking dissipated the somewhat reluctant atmosphere, and Qianxiang couldn't help but laugh. She stared at the backs of Miqiu and the others with bright eyes, as if she had seen her future journey.

We will definitely see you again.
