Pokémon: Welcome to Alola!

At night, torches illuminate the entire Vera Volcano Park, and dots of fire surround the mountain road like a fire dragon leading to the volcano altar on the top of the mountain.

At the entrance, there are a large number of large wooden sticks piled up, which are large handmade torches. Two people need to pick them up horizontally, and then carry the torch together to the volcano altar.A large number of villagers and tourists are queuing up to receive torches. They work in pairs. After holding the torch firmly, the staff will help light it.

【Wow!So cool! 】 Mr. Mosquito Repellent looked at the scene where the light of the torch was hovering on the mountain. His fat face was filled with surprise and his eyes were wide open.

"Why, do you want to lift one too?"

Red said this to Mr. Mosquito Repellent, but Mitsuki thought Red said it to her, so she came over and whispered, "Okay, then let's hold a torch."

Shui Lian said: "Then Lillie and I will raise one."

Lillie said: "Can the two of us lift one? Should there be... a boy..."

Lillie said, secretly looking at Reid.Unexpectedly, Shui Lian showed off the biceps on her arms: "Don't underestimate the talented fishing girl on the first day. Even Red may not be as strong as me."

Red was ashamed. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had seen with his own eyes that Shui Lian could lift Lao An with a fishing rod. His arm strength was indeed better than his own.

Mitsuki tapped Reid's arm and said, "Let's go."

Reid and Mitsuki walked in front, and Mr. Mosquito Repellent followed beside them.I received a large torch at the entrance. The torch was made of a whole piece of wood, three meters long and heavier than expected.Two people can lift it sideways together. After the two people hold it firmly, the staff on the side will light the torch with a [spark].Follow the steps of those in front and join the Torch Festival team.

Mosquito Repellent Repellent: [I want it too!I also want to hold a torch. 】

Mr. Mosquito Repellent forced his way between the two of them, raising his hands to hold the torch.

Meiyue said with a smile: "Ziaoqiao, your hands will get sore very quickly."

Red: "Let him play, he seems very excited tonight."

The autumn nights are a little cool, and from time to time the cold wind blows with the volcanic ash.While the team delivering the torches is escorting them, they must also be careful not to extinguish the torches.Reid's attention was completely on the fire, and he had no intention of looking at the surrounding scenery.Most of the Pokémon hid at night, and the crowd at the celebration lit up the entire mountain with torches. From time to time, you could see wild Pokémon hiding behind mounds of dirt and haystacks, secretly watching the human celebrations. .The night-stealing salamander will poke its head out of the cave on the mountain wall, and the little platypus will bite its fingers and hide behind the rocks. They are full of curiosity about this human activity.

Lillie and Sui Lian were walking behind. Little Nebula was also very happy today, jumping up and down and dancing around Lillie.

Mitsuki's attention was on the wild Pokémon in the mountains, Lillie's attention was on Red, and Suiren's attention was on the other male tourists.

"Red, tell me... is that legend true?"

"What?"

"That's the legend about seeing a pair of night-stealing salamanders."

"The male-female ratio of Salamanders is 1:7. In order to obtain mating rights, male Salamanders will willingly contribute food and labor to the female Salamanders and Queen Elizabeth. If a female Salamander appears, it must be One female and multiple males cannot appear in pairs. It seems that you did not pay attention in class."

Reid's attention was still on the torch, and he didn't understand what Mitsuki meant.

At this time, a pair of cute flies were attracted by the human fire and flew together, lingering in front of Reid and Meiyue.

"Instead of waiting for a pair of night-stealing salamanders, it is better to place your best wishes on the cute flies." Reid thought of a legend in the Fengyuan region, "In the Fengyuan region, if you can see the sweet firefly and the firefly on a summer night, When electric fireflies court a mate, they can reap sweet love. This legend exists everywhere and is specially used to trick couples into traveling."

The pair of cute flies played with each other and flew past Meiyue.Both Reid and Mitsuki's attention was attracted by Moe Fly, and they stared at Moe Fly flying into the night sky.Then a gust of wind blew up, ruffling Mitsuki's hair and blowing up Red's hat.

"Hey, hey, my hat."

Both hands were holding the torch, and when the hat blew away, Red had no hands to protect his head.Just like that, the hat was blown by the wind into the dead grass in the mountains.When Mr. Mosquito Repellent saw his hat flying, he volunteered and rushed into the dead grass, disappearing into the night.

"Zhixie ran in by herself, what should I do?" Meiyue wanted to follow, but if the torch in her hand was rashly brought into the dead grass, it would easily cause a fire.

The journey came to a standstill later so that the people behind could squeeze in. Lillie and Suiren asked what happened.

In order not to cause obstruction, Reid said: "Liliae and Suiren, please go forward first, while Mitsuki and I will pick up the hats."

Shui Lian: "Then hurry up and follow us. Lillie, let's go first."

Suiren pulled Lillie forward first. Lillie was a little worried and told Red and Mitsuki to be careful.

In order to prevent the torch from stirring up the dead grass, Red straightened the torch and raised it high.The two people who were originally held levelly could only hold the torch hand in hand and walked into the grass closely together.There were many sounds coming from the withered grass. They were the sounds of Pokémon running in the grass, but only the sounds could be heard, and the shadows of Pokémon could not be seen.

"Zhixie! Where are you?"

Calling Mr. Mosquito's name, Reid and Meiyue gradually stepped into the depths of the grass.

【Here, here!Hahaha. ] Mr. Mosquito Repellent sprang out of the grass, wearing Red's white hat on his head.When he came out, he even startled Meiyue. Meiyue immediately grabbed Red's hand holding the torch tightly.

"Don't tell me, the hat matches your new pants."

[I’m taking that hat off, come and chase me. 】Speaking, Mr. Mosquito Repellent ran into the grass again and ran towards the mountain road.

"Then let's go back." Reid glanced at Meiyue, the firelight reflected her face, revealing a hint of blush. "Are you uncomfortable? Your face is red."

"It's okay, I was startled by the mosquitoes just now. Let's go back."

"it is good."

As he was walking back, Reid felt a cool breeze behind him and a rustling sound.I glanced back and saw a sweet firefly and an electric firefly flying out of the grass. The electric fireflies were dancing a mating dance around the sweet firefly.The fluorescent lights on their butts illuminated each other's bodies, making them stand out in the dark mountains.

"Oh, how could it be...look quickly."

When Meiyue turned around, Reid could see nothing in the blink of an eye, only the silent night sky and barren grass.

"What are you looking at?" Meiyue asked confused.

"I...may have seen it wrong." After all, Sweet Firefly and Electric Firefly are species that do not exist in the wild in Alola, and it is impossible for these two Pokémon to live in an area with water and flowers. Living near volcanoes.Reid only thought that it was more likely that his eyes were wrong.

Reid and Meiyue stood close together, holding torches high, and walked back to the mountain path step by step.In the grass behind them, Tiantian Yingying and Dian Yingying also grabbed a branch, imitating their movements, clinging to the grass intimately and watching them leave.
