Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

"It seems we have to walk faster." Aislo looked at the dark clouds in the distance with excitement, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind: racing with the dark clouds. But then he thought that the girl who had "heatstroke" might not be able to bear it, so he gave up the idea.

And Mary on Eslo's back also nodded slightly. The girl subconsciously tightened her arms around the boy's neck, and her whole body wrapped around Eslo like an octopus.

The sudden close contact made Aislo blush for an inexplicable moment, but he soon returned to normal. He smiled slightly as he felt the soft body behind him, and reached out to hug the thighs wrapped around his waist tightly. When he was about to exert force, a voice sounded in the hearts of both of them.

[Well, don’t you need my help?] Yveltal asked. He had wanted to ask when Mary almost fell. After all, as long as he took a step, basically any problem could be solved. But the smart Yveltal thought about it again. This was a good opportunity to enhance their relationship, so he didn’t say anything and kept it to himself until now.

"Ah? Didn't you go to watch the fun with Huayanguai and the others?" Eslo was surprised. Mary blushed and struggled to jump off Eslo's back.

[Are you kidding? Do I look like the kind of god who likes to join in the fun?] Yveltal smiled contemptuously. In order to ensure that he could always protect Eslo, he could be said to have always stayed by the boy's side.

"Like." Eslo's answer hit Yveltal hard, and Mary nodded quickly.

[Yeah, it does look alike.] Darkrai chuckled as he finished off the enemy, and slowly "floated" out of the shadows.

[Darkrai! What do you mean?] Yveltal was so angry that he jumped up and down.

[Nothing serious, just telling the truth.] Darkrai shrugged, as if to show his innocence.

[You, you you you! The three of you!]

Ignoring Yveltal who felt he was being slandered, Darkrai picked up Eslo and Mary, one in each hand, and flew towards the distant mountain. He just sensed that there was a cave on the hill, which was perfect for sheltering from the rain.

"Don't you want to wait for them?" Eslo stuck his head out and looked behind him. Zoroar's screams were still coming from an unknown direction. He didn't know how much of the screams were real or fake. However, it seemed that they would not end in a short time.

[No need, the Rock Monster will bring them here.] Darkrai shook his head slightly. The Rock Monsters should be having a good time right now. He just didn't know what they were doing to convince Zoroark to scream for such a long time.

"Oh." Aislo retracted his head obediently.

After a while, Aislo and Mary landed on the ground. The surroundings had changed from the original artificial path to a lush forest, and not far away from them, there was a pitch-black hole on the cave wall.

Darkrai floated in first. He was surprised to find that the shallow layer of the cave had a space of moderate size. But if you look closely, you will find that there is a passage that leads directly to the inside of the mountain. Judging from the traces, it was even built by external forces.

Shaking his head, Darkrai decided to ignore them for the time being. He first confirmed that there was no life in the shallow cave and then snapped his fingers. Bright flames floated out from his slender fingertips and spread and exploded in an instant, clearing the main body of the cave except for the passage in a flash.

"How is it, Darkrai?" When Eslo saw the flames fade away, he looked at Mary and walked in together.

[It's very strange there.] Darkrai pointed at the passage in front of him and said, there seemed to be an invisible barrier deep in the passage, isolating Darkrai's perception from the outside.

"Could it be the sleeping place of a Regischirru?" Mary's eyebrows twitched. After all, she and Eslo had already met Regilock and Regice along the way. Now they only needed a Steel Pillar to complete the three pillars discovered by humans.

"No, one Regischirru is not enough to block my perception." Darkrai shook his head and denied the girl's guess.

"Isn't it?" Eslo looked at the bottomless cave with some hesitation, then he held up the space backpack behind Mary, and the girl obediently cooperated and put the backpack down.

"Let's take out the sleeping bags and other things first." After Eslo finished speaking, the two of them spread out their sleeping bags and then gathered at the entrance of the passage.

The two men looked at the passage, and Darkrai cooperated by releasing a flame, which floated downward along the passage. The released flames illuminated the surrounding rock walls, but after a while, the faint flames disappeared into the endless darkness.

[This is really shocking.] A trace of amazement flashed across Darkrai's eyes. The stone steps were arranged one after another, leading to the unknown depths. There were traces of carvings on the surrounding rock walls. Although they had been worn away, they showed the accumulation of time. It was hard to imagine who or what elves built this.

[Hehe~ Now it's up to me - the great Lord Yveltal to take action, right?] Yveltal's smug voice sounded, and He, who had shrunk countless times, had already emerged from the Poké Ball and stood on Eslo's shoulder. He slightly lowered his head, as if waiting for others' praise.

"Okay, okay, great Lord Yveltal, I wonder what is down there? I believe it will not escape your perception." Mary boasted in an extremely calm tone, as if coaxing a child, but Yveltal did not notice the wrong tone in Mary. He moved his gaze to Eslo again, and his big blue eyes blinked, as if saying: Praise me quickly, praise me quickly.

"Is there any danger down there? My lovely Yiyi~" Aislo said with a smile on his face, and while saying this, he touched Yveltal's head.

"No...that's not right! What kind of weird name is this?" Yveltal suddenly came to his senses and realized that something was wrong.

"Don't you think this name is more intimate?" Aislo recalled the words in the "Child-Raising Handbook" and said, "How about calling you Xiaoyi? Peipei? Or Ayi?"

"Eh~ So disgusting! Stay away from me." Yveltal pretended to turn his head away with disgust and took a small step away from Eslo's face.

"Okay." Eslo did not see through Yveltal's arrogance. Instead, he began to doubt whether he had bought a fake "Parenting Manual".

[Wait, that's all you're asking?] Yveltal asked again. He wanted to hear Esloh call Him by those names again.

"It would be interesting to find out what is down there by ourselves, isn't it?" Aislo chuckled. Perhaps the meaning of his journey was to have fun or to explore the unknown? Who knows.

"Then let's go and see what's down there." Mary put her hand on Eslo's other shoulder. Darkrai also walked in first, followed by the boy and girl, leaving Yveltal dissatisfied and returning to the Poké Ball.
