Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

It is still desolate, with the cold wind and bright sun still contrasting with each other. In this world where only light blue and dark yellow exist, Marie, Absol, and the long-haired troll are moving forward slowly.

At this moment, the girl suddenly stopped. She looked at the abstract map in her hand that looked like a child's doodle, then glanced at the surrounding mountains and fell silent.

"Roar?" The long-haired troll came over when he saw that something was wrong. Logically speaking, they should not get lost with the map given by Ya Xuan, but why did he feel that the huge rocks he had just seen had appeared three times?

Hmm...what is this turtle with six legs? Oh...it's a rumble stone.

Do these crooked lines refer to mountains or rivers? They are not reversed...

Finally, the hairy troll slowly closed his eyes and fell into silence like the girl.

"Sigh?"

After a moment of silence, Absol asked them what they should do now. According to him, returning the same way was the best option.

"Let's change the direction first. Walk for another ten minutes. If we still haven't found the basin, we'll go back." Mary folded the map in her hand. She didn't want to give up just like that. She had already walked so far, so it wouldn't hurt to walk a little longer.

Seeing that Mary had made the decision, the two elves naturally did not say anything more, but just nodded slightly.

Three figures walked slowly into the distance, and looking in that direction, one could see two mountains that looked exceptionally majestic on the earth, and a valley formed between the two mountains.

……

"Strange, why is there such a thick fog?"

There was confusion in the cold voice. Mary waved her hand casually, but unfortunately the thick fog remained unmoved and the visible distance to the naked eye was less than five meters.

At the same time, the girl was surprised to find that her perception could not penetrate the fog, and the hairy troll's reaction seemed to be the same.

After realizing something was wrong, Mali slowed down her pace and walked side by side with the hairy troll and Absol. After all, with her half-baked emotional power, if she was really attacked here, it would be difficult for her to react in the first time.

Given the climate of Iron Island, it should be difficult for such a thick fog to form...

The growing uneasiness in Mary's heart made her stop moving forward.

"Let's go back."

Mary looked around vigilantly. According to her rough estimate, they were probably already in the valley. If they went deeper, who knew what they would encounter? If they wanted to continue exploring here, it would be a good idea to call Gengar or Darkrai.

"Roar……"

A dull growl expressed the hairy troll's approval, while Absol said nothing, seeming to have acquiesced.

It's not that Absol didn't want to respond. If Marie and the hairy troll looked at him carefully now, they would find that his red eyes were trembling slightly, as if he was trying to restrain his inner anxiety and confusion.

The instinct of the race that foresaw disasters told Absol that it was not suitable to stay here for long and that it needed to leave quickly. The strong sense of uneasiness far exceeded any previous disaster, even the ancient Pokémon chaos was not as clear and "heavy" as it was now.

What was the reason for such a clear feeling of uneasiness... The terrifying sixth sense derived from the "disaster beast" allowed Absol to guess something. The scope of this disaster probably did not reach the Iron Island or even the entire world, but... it only targeted the three of them.

If you don't leave, something bad is likely to happen.

Absol was certain of this.

Did they step into the territory of some powerful Pokémon? No, how could it be possible? With the strength of him and the Longhaired Troll, what wild Pokémon could threaten them?

Large-scale natural disasters can also be ruled out directly, because this does not match the perception based on instinct, and it is also impossible for it to really pose a direct threat to the three of them...

While Absol was thinking, the air became more and more oppressive, and even the gray mist seemed to be stained black. Perhaps it was a change in the hallucination that made him feel more and more uneasy. The frequency of the alternation of the limbs covered with white hair gradually increased, until later, Absol even ignored Mary's scream, and directly picked up the back of her collar and threw her to let her sit on his back, and then ran away.

"Soooooo——" [Leave here! ]

The roar echoed, and this became Absol's only thought at the moment, and the hairy troll began to run.

Unfortunately, the next moment, the earth suddenly collapsed, as if it was torn apart by a giant, revealing the horrific abyss underneath.

The pupils of Absol and the hairy troll shrank. Just when they wanted to jump out of here by stepping on the surrounding rock walls, an inexplicable light appeared and pressed them back when they were about to leave.

The light was like a ribbon with mysterious runes engraved on it, like a seal from ancient times.

The three figures disappeared into the endless abyss and were swallowed by the darkness.

……

【Um? 】

Gengar, who was urging Moon Eevee to conduct mental training, suddenly stopped. Its round body flashed with light and turned back into the appearance of Rock Monster.

"Buy?"

Umbreon tilted her head in confusion, and her soft hair was wet with sweat containing some poison.

[It's okay... this time an old guy showed up. ]

The Flower Rock Monster smiled solemnly and looked at Darkrai who had come over.

【Would you like to go over and take a look? 】

Darkrai's blue eyes flashed. Although he didn't think anything would happen with Yveltal there, his almost instinctive caution told him that he should go and keep watch.

[Just to be on the safe side…] The rock monster slowly floated up, but her next words made Darkrai, who had already hidden in the shadows, stick his head out again in surprise, [We should just stay here.]

【? 】

[Haha~] The Flower Rock Monster laughed at Darkrai's stupid look, [I have a plan...]

【…】

【…】

"...Bu." Moon Eevee silently looked at the two Pokémon whispering over there, and then devoted himself to the training of concentrating energy on one point for blasting.

It's none of her business anyway, is it?
