[Pokémon] Travel with Xiaomao

The wind rolled thick water vapor, slowly curling towards the dark cave dome.

The dark cave trembled imperceptibly, and then, a passageway as tall as a person quietly appeared on the rock wall where there was no gap.If Xiaomao and the others hadn't lit the eight oil lamps fixed in the hall, and the attention was already there, they might not have been able to find it in time.

"Let's go." Mr. Mao raised the precious ball in his hand, and took back his old partner, with a calm and calm look, as if all the racking of brains and hard thinking just now were deceiving tricks.

Xiaoye was still staring blankly at the dome that she couldn't see clearly, as if she really wanted to study something.Maybe it was because she was so focused that Mr. Mao, who had repeated it several times, finally had no choice but to go over and hold that idiot's hand in person.Afterwards, the two of them headed towards this seemingly reliable new opportunity without hesitation.

The caves in this section are obviously neater than the previous ones, probably because Xia Bo has dug through them in the past few years, and the artificial traces are particularly obvious.But it may be rarely used by people. This cave, which was dug out artificially, unexpectedly became a paradise for wild Pokémon to move freely.

In just a short distance of tens of meters, the two of them met several groups of uninvited visitors.Under normal circumstances, these uninvited visitors are relatively gentle, at least the common Pokémon such as the big-mouthed bat, the Gotha Duck, the slow-witted beast, etc., just glanced at them and left in a hurry.Even the slightly rare Sister Michun gave Sister Xiaoye a big hug at most (fortunately, Mr. Mao was spared).The more ferocious ones, such as giant claw crabs and big rock snakes, relied on Sister Ye's extraordinary communication skills to avoid danger without any danger.Seeing that the end point was in front of him, Xiao Ye, the key person, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"What's the matter?" Mr. Mao, who always pays close attention to every move of his travel companions, at best he cares for his safety, at worst he prevents the other party from making trouble, keenly stops and asks.

"Well, Xiao Mao..." Xiao Ye hesitated a bit.

Since she happened to be standing behind the shadow at the corner, Xiaomao couldn't see the specific situation clearly.

"Tell me, no matter what trouble you caused, I don't blame you this time." Xiaomao had a resigned expression on his face.

"What are you talking about?" Ye Meizi leaned out of the shadows in a strange manner, "What's causing trouble? That's what I'm talking about."

When she ran out of the dark corner, Xiao Mao realized that the idiot seemed to be holding something in his hand.

"What is this?" He leaned over and took a closer look.

The thing in Xiao Ye's hand was about one meter long, and it was oval in shape with one end bigger and the other end smaller.The smaller half is ecru and hard to the touch, while the larger half is the opposite, covered in a mass of fluffy white down.It's just that due to the low temperature around, this group of fluff that should feel good to the touch is somewhat rough at this time.

Xiao Ye turned the ellipse in her hand so that her companion could observe it carefully, but she said in distress, "I don't know either."

Xiao Mao didn't expect to get useful clues from someone, and now he didn't listen to her words, and started to observe directly.After a long while, he seemed to have reached a preliminary conclusion.

"It's like a cocoon of some kind of creature."

"Cocoon?" Ye Meizi blinked her eyes.

"I'm just guessing." After all, Xiaomao is just a Pokémon researcher, not a biologist.

"Then... is it frozen?" Xiao Ye was sensitive to this problem.

"Frozen? It's very possible." Xiao Mao was stunned, and confirmed his companion's guess.

This passage is connected to the extremely cold underground caves of Twin Islands, and the low temperature is natural. At first glance, this explanation seems reasonable, but...

"We walked all the way, those big-mouthed bats, giant claw crabs, etc., there is no sign of freezing..."

In other words, the creatures that live here all year round should have adapted to the climate here long ago, unless...

"Could it be that this child has lost his way?" Although Xiao Ye's guess was unintentional, she might have hit the heart by accident.

If it wasn't a resident here, of course, it is very likely that it cannot adapt to the temperature here, and it is a reasonable development to be frozen.

"Or, let's take it with us." Yemeizi moved her heart with compassion, "Anyway, our destination is the warm red lotus gymnasium built on the volcano. Maybe this child will wake up when the temperature rises. coming."

Mr. Mao didn't object, because this extremely quiet white cocoon didn't look like it would trigger troubles.

In fact, the next journey of the two was not only extremely peaceful, but even encountered a savior.

This savior is the owner of the Red Lotus Gymnasium who loves to guess riddles, and also the designer of the mechanism in the cave of Twin Islands-Grandpa Xia Bo.

Perhaps because of the unexpected encounter, when Xiao Mao saw this acquaintance, he forgot to say hello for a while.

On the other hand, Xiao Ye was quite calm, smiling and chatting casually as if nothing had happened.

"Mr. Xia Bo, what a coincidence."

"Oh, it's you. It's really a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here." Xia Bo also seemed a little surprised, probably because he didn't expect that the mechanism he carefully designed would be cracked again and again. Bar.

"Mr. Xia Bo, is there something important for you to come here?" If nothing happened, who would run into the dark cave.

"Well, in fact, something is wrong with the recent situation of the volcano, so I came down to check the situation while I was free."

"What's wrong with the volcano?"

"It's not right, but I'm still not sure if it's a bad thing. I think you all know that the volcano on Honglian Island has always been violent. Before, it erupted on a large scale and led to the destruction of the entire island. But recently, the volcano on the island has suddenly become stable. Down, no signs of rioting. I wonder if this will be the calm before the outbreak, so I'm a little uneasy."

"Oh..." Ye Meizi nodded half-understanding, "Then Mr. Xia Bo, have you found the reason why the volcano calmed down?"

"This is..."

Just as Xia Bo was about to say something, Mr. Mao, who had always been proud of his calm and self-restraint, let out a yelp in an inelegant manner.

"This... this is... I... what did I see?"

I don't know what creature made a low roar.

Before Xiaoye came, she poked her head out to see what was going on, when she heard Xiaomao talking to herself excitedly.

"Sidolan? I'm not mistaken, is this Sitolan?"

"No, there's nothing wrong with that. The body exuding the color of volcanic rock, the head and limbs encased in white metal, and the ability to climb on the ceiling almost like magic... Yes, it must be The rumored Crater Pokémon Seadran."

"God, I must write it down. I confirmed the presence of Sidoran in the underground caves of Twin Islands. This is a great discovery of the century. You know, before the academic circles generally believed that Sidoran live only in Sinnoh..."

Mr. Mao took out his digital camera a few times as he said that, and then took many photos of the strange reddish-brown creature clinging to the ceiling.

The creature might have finally become impatient with the flashing light, and with a low cry, it quickly crawled into the crevice of the rock and disappeared.

"Ah, it escaped..." Xiao Mao was disappointed.

"Of course I'm going to run away. Even I would be upset to be photographed so impolitely." Xiao Ye actually had the leisure to tease her traveling companion.

"You were born in a common family, so of course you don't know the rarity of Xi Duolan." Xiaomao coughed, and immediately returned to his usual aristocratic style.

"Is that weird Pokémon just now rare?"

"In the legend of Sinnoh, Sidoran is considered to be a life form formed from the fragments that fell when Dialga and Palkiya collided with each other with great force in ancient times." Xiaomao was in Sinnoh After studying it for many years, I still know this little common sense.

"Oh..." Yemeizi still couldn't hear it, maybe it was because she had too many katakana.

"By the way, the status of Dialga and Palkya in Sinnoh is the same as that of Reshiram and Zekrom in the union." Xiao Mao added understandingly.

This time, Yemeizi was silent for a while before letting out a long "Oh——".

Sure enough, to deal with idiots, you have to use analogies, Mr. Mao lamented.

Probably because she finally realized how precious a Pokémon Xidolan is, Sister Xiaoye continued with a bit of regret, "It's really amazing.

Xi Xiaomao, you scared it away, otherwise I might still be able to ask it how it came to Guandu from Sinnoh. "

"Uh..." Although he was wrong to take too many photos because he was too excited, but...

"If it hadn't been scared away, would you have been able to ask?" Xiaomao retorted guiltily.

"If you don't try, how will you know." Although humans and Pokémon cannot speak the same language, don't forget that Yemeizi has the experience of being an exclusive translator for Uncle Crow.

"Hmm, anyway, now that I understand the reason why the volcano has calmed down, I can go back with peace of mind." Xia Bo concluded in a timely manner, and finally suggested, "Do you want to go with me?"

"The reason for calming down? Could it be Sidolan?" Xiao Ye asked curiously.

"Sidolan naturally likes to live in the crater. Generally, where there is a volcanic eruption, no volcanic eruption will occur. After all, no one would choose a place that will be completely destroyed in a short time as a place of residence. " Xia Bo explained, "Pokémon's perception of the environment is much more sensitive than that of humans. Besides, Sidoran is also a special existence that has inherited the blood of the gods in the legend."

"Although I don't know why it came to Guandu all the way, it is always a good thing to have it guarding the Red Lotus Volcano."

Xia Bo talked for a long while before he noticed the fur ball in Xiao Ye's hand.

The experienced old man stared at the white cocoon for a long time before speaking with a serious expression.

"Little girl, you seem to have picked up something incredible."

The author has something to say: So, what did Ye Meizi pick up again? . .
