Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

"You two stay here for now. I'll go outside and take a look at the situation." After bypassing the crowd surrounding the main entrance of the Pokémon Center and sending Aislo and Marie back to the Pokémon Center, Yaxuan nodded slightly to the two of them.

As a wave guide messenger, Ya Xuan can easily sense the emotions in the hearts of living beings. Aislo's current condition is not right, and it is not suitable for him to run around anymore. Mary can also comfort him.

"Luka." Lucario pushed Eslo down to sit, then stretched out his furry paws and gently stroked the boy's back. He could feel the uneasy waves emanating from Eslo.

"Thank you, I'm fine."

"Luca."

"..."

"Well, remember to be careful."

On the other side, Mary reminded Ya Xuan that even though the situation in Yuanzhi Town had improved compared to before, it did not mean that there was no danger here. After all, no one could predict what would happen next.

As soon as the girl finished speaking, Yaxuan turned and left. They needed to establish more contact with the outside world and also needed to rescue the townspeople in Yuanzhi Town who were in trouble.

As a wave guide messenger, Yaxuan's sense of justice prevents him from just watching people suffer danger.

After the young man and Lucario left, the entire Pokémon Center hall fell into silence again.

"Well, actually I..."

In the end, Eslo, who was feeling uneasy because of the excessive calm, chose to speak first, wanting to explain as usual that he was fine.

"Do you still want to be brave?"

The words were interrupted before he could finish them. When Eslo turned his head after a pause, all he saw was Mary's cyan eyes with a hint of anger.

He had never seen her like this, nor had he ever heard her speak in this tone. Only now did Aislo feel truly panicked. Even when he vomited blood because he had to withstand the explosion of the ancient wind ball, he did not feel such panic.

"without……"

The boy avoided Mary's gaze, not even daring to look directly into her serious eyes. At the same time, his words were interrupted again.

"No? Then why aren't you looking at me now? It was like this the previous few times, and you are still like this now. Do you feel good when you keep everything in your heart, or do you just want to see the person who loves you worry about you?" Mary looked at the person in front of her steadily, without noticing the ambiguity in her words. Her chest heaving, was enough to show the girl's inner anger.

The reason why Mary was angry was very complicated, and even she herself might not be able to explain it clearly. But when she saw that after Eslo had just experienced a life-and-death crisis, the first thing he thought of was not herself, but comforting her and Darkrai, Mary couldn't help but think of the conversation between the boy and Yveltal, Eslo's concealment of his physical condition, and his promise to them at the time that he would not joke about his own life.

At that time, Mary began to feel a little angry, but more of aggrieved. Why did Aisiluo always keep some things to himself and not tell her? Why couldn't he be more honest? Why not...

Later, it was the words "Actually, I'm fine" that Eslo subconsciously wanted to say, and this sentence undoubtedly became the fuse that aroused Mary's anger.

At that moment, she seemed to see the shadow of her elder brother in Aislo.

At this time, Morube, who was sandwiched between the two men, began to panic. Her ears drooped and she kept turning her head to look at the two of them anxiously, not knowing what to do.

"No..." Aislo lowered his head silently, not knowing how to face it.

"..." Mary looked at the silent Aislo in front of her and took a deep breath, then asked, "What are you afraid of?"

"Ah?" Aislo looked up in surprise and met Mary's gaze.

"..." Before Aislo could answer, he heard the girl continue, "Are you afraid of making us worry? Are you afraid that when something goes wrong with you, it will affect us? Is that right?"

"Yeah." Aislo's eyebrows drooped like a child who had done something wrong.

"But have you ever thought that doing this will only make us more worried? Don't think too much, okay? We can think of a solution together..."

We clearly agreed to be together forever... Mary murmured in her heart.

Aislo didn't know how to answer. His short life experience made it difficult for him to cope with the current situation.

"How about we have a good talk?" Mary took a deep breath and calmed down. Maybe what the other party needed was daily guidance, but no matter what, it would be good to have a serious talk now.

"Ah."

……

Looking at the two people sitting on the bench, Absol nodded with satisfaction. Having basically grown up with Eslo, he knew him very well and was aware of his gentle but somewhat awkward personality. However, his persuasion did not seem to have much effect.

I hope it will work this time... Absol prayed silently.

"Buey?" The Moon Eevee, who was sitting next to Absol, suddenly looked around. After making sure that she didn't see the little green hedgehog, she turned to Absol and asked about Shemmy's situation.

"Shuo." Absol thought about it and it seemed that they really hadn't seen Shemi for a while, so the two elves got up and walked towards Eslo's room. They remembered that the little guy should have slept on the sofa in the room last night.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Ya Xuan was standing on a roof, looking at the commotion below with a headache, as well as Miss Joy and other alliance members who were working hard to organize the scene.

"Luca..." Lucario's slightly anxious voice came from behind Yaxuan. The young man turned his head and looked in the direction Lucario pointed. He saw a gust of light gray air coming from there. Although there didn't seem to be any changes in the place where the air passed, the raised hairs on Yaxuan's arms and the sudden coolness on his back told him that this gust of wind was not that simple.

A Waveguider's intuition is rarely wrong.

The anxious Rock Monster below also noticed this. It was obvious that she was distracted by Eslo's injury. Although Darkrai said that it was nothing, she was still worried.

Looking at the "strong wind" coming from afar, and then looking at the noisy crowd in front of him, he thought of Eslo in the Pokémon Center. A "well" character seemed to appear on the big face of the Flower Rock Monster, whose patience had long been exhausted.

An inexplicable lavender light bloomed from all around the flower rock monster's body, and then expanded rapidly, sweeping over all the people standing in the open space.

All those who were hit by the light stopped shouting at the same time. Their eyes became dull, like puppets without souls.

[It's much quieter now.] Huayanguai let out a long sigh, then controlled these people and asked them to hide in the nearest building.

After making sure that there was no one on the ground, Huayanguai raised his head and looked at Yaxuan on the roof, and nodded to signal him to come down quickly.

Yaxuan and Lucario looked at each other, then went back into the high-rise building along the stairs on the rooftop.

It seems that their plan to contact the outside world has failed.
