[Pokémon] Return to Shenao

If life is a documentary, then Xiao Liang feels that the background sound of the screen where she is now will definitely be like this——

Xiaoliang, who is traveling with the goal of being a top coordination trainer, and her traveling companion Ayou and a group of elves.

Today, I got lost on the road of life again.

She knew that she shouldn't give the map to Ayou and let him lead the way!

Xiao Liang stared angrily and helplessly at the guy who still had a natural smile on his face, grabbed the map from the other party, and unfolded it angrily: "Really... Ayou, what will you do when you travel alone? Let’s do it!” I’m sure I won’t be able to collect all eight badges because I got lost, and I might even collect all eight badges with great difficulty and still miss the league competition because I got lost!

Even though he is so talented, he is always lucky to be able to subdue such a potential and healthy elf!

Why is it so hard to be a trainer!

"Well... Xiaoliang is here, isn't it?" Ayou yawned lazily.

Ah, here it comes, Ayou's "speaking ambiguous words casually" skill.

Xiao Liang, who is well aware of the virtues of his traveling companion, continued to stare at him: "It's impossible for me to travel with you all the time, Ayou, it's time for you to learn what to pay attention to when traveling alone!"

"Well... the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. If you think too much, you will grow old quickly, right, Meng Yao?" Ayou still looked like he didn't care about anything, and scratched the elf floating beside him. jaw.

Meng Yao raised her chin so that she could enjoy a better "service", and she responded with a few face-saving echoes.

"Meng Yao is the same, don't spoil your trainer all the time!" Xiao Liang had nothing to do with this person and elf, and heaved a long sigh: "Ah, I always feel so tired... Don't you think so, Pikachu? "

Pikachu, who was held in Xiaoliang's arms, rubbed Xiaoliang's arm with his belly, but did not reply.

"This child...is he still unwilling to talk?" Xiao Liang's eyes were full of worry.

Since the elf was subdued by Xiao Liang, it has not opened its mouth.Repelling others, Miss Joy, the tools for its inspection, and even the scanning of the illustrated book can make it so frightened that it immediately hides behind the fire monkey and refuses to come out.

Sure enough...is it an elf that was once abandoned by his trainer?

Xiao Liang guessed so in his heart.

Was it discarded because it was found to be not capable enough after scanning by the instrument?In this way, it can explain why it is so afraid of the instrument.

——Because I don't want to be abandoned again.

Ah, as expected, there is still a long way to go... If she wants to train this Pikachu to the level where she can be on the stage, she will probably have to spend a lot of effort.

Xiao Liang sighed, but at the same time, he felt the body of Pikachu in his arms tremble, and then trembled almost inaudibly.

"Ah, it's not Pikachu's fault? It's okay?" Xiao Liang hurriedly lifted it up to comfort him, "Look, it's so high——"

Pikachu still had a constant smile on his face, but he could vaguely feel that it seemed to have relaxed, returning to the happy but worried look before.Xiao Liang breathed a sigh of relief, deeply feeling that he was about to go farther and farther on the road of "Mother Sang".

Ayou next to him watched the interaction between the two of them, and stopped scratching Mengyao's chin with his fingers, which made Mengyao look curiously.

Ayou's side face was somewhat serious for some reason.

"Mu?"

Meng Yao's cry brought both of them back to their senses, and Xiao Liang followed Meng Yao's line of sight to look at Ayou curiously, but at this time he had returned to his usual lazy look and continued to serve Meng Yao.

The two continued to walk along the road like this for a while, each teasing their own elves.

"Ah, that's right." As if suddenly remembering something, Ayou said, "Meng Yao said before that he felt a familiar aura on that Pikachu?"

The speaker does not know whether he has the heart, but the listener has already heard his meaning.Pikachu shivered and approached Xiao Liang's arms, as if he didn't want to hear anything.

Xiao Liang looked at Pikachu, then at Dream Monster, and finally at Ayou, and put his arms around Pikachu and turned his back to Ayou: "How is it possible, Pikachu is so cute! How can you look like your Dream Monster with a dark belly!"

Meng Yao tilted her head, indicating that she was shot while lying down.

Hearing Xiaoliang's words, Pikachu's body relaxed, but then gradually stiffened under Ayou's staring gaze.

"Hmm—" Ayou narrowed his eyes, unable to deny it.

Pikachu became more and more nervous under his stare, and finally shrank his body into a ball, completely hiding behind Xiao Liang.

"Ayou! You scared Pikachu!" Xiao Liang complained about his traveling companion while busy comforting his elf.

Just like Fire Monkey and Pikachu have always been at odds with each other, Ayou also seems to have a problem with his actions to subdue Pikachu, always targeting it from time to time, making Pikachu always very afraid of him.

"Well... well, well, I was wrong, where should we go next?" Ayou finally let go of the Pikachu amid Xiaoliang's complaints, and yawned again.

There are still two weeks before the double gorgeous contest in Curtain City... If he fails to catch up with this competition, Xiao Liang will definitely nag again.

Besides, with him around, it should be fine, right?

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the "Pikachu" tentatively protruding his ears from Xiaoliang's shoulders, watching it shiver and retract his ears, Ayou silently weighed it in his heart.

Even if the other party is an elf of the ghost system that he has liked since childhood... If he wants to hurt Xiao Liang, he will not show mercy!

It is precisely because he has lived with ghost-type elves since he was a child that Ayou understands the weirdness of ghost-type elves and their horror.

Walking and walking, the two of them were finally about to walk out of the woods, feeling a certain familiar aura, Meng Yao excitedly accelerated his floating steps, and rushed out of the woods first——

What I saw head-on was a tall pinnacle tower.

The pure white tower, which is [-]% marble, is particularly eye-catching on the plain in front of it.Xiao Liang held Pikachu in one hand, flipped through the map with the other hand, and finally stopped on one page: "The resting place of Pokémon whose lifespan has expired, the Lost Tower."

Sure enough, it deviated from the original route!

In her original plan, she would never come across this iconic building on the road!

Thinking of this, Xiao Liang glared at A You again: I just don't know whether the person in front of me is doing it on purpose or is it intentional or sincere... Hey, it seems that the meanings are similar?

Anyway, this guy must have known that there are so many ghost elves in the Lost Tower, so he took the wrong path!

Xiao Liang looked at the always lazy A You with a vague expression of eagerness to try, and was tired: "Forget it... Now that we are here, let's go in and pay homage."

"Oh! Xiaoliang is the best!" Ah Chu cheered and ran away.

Followed by the equally excited Meng Yao, and Xiao Liang shaking his head and sighing.

——The picture of memories has come to an end, because Xiao Liang knows that things after that will not be so easy.

She took a breath, turned her head, and faced Ah Yin's face listening carefully: "Yin-kun grew up in the Johto area, right? The Pokémon Tower in Kanto, the Sending Volcano in Fengyuan, and the Lost Tower in Shenao. There is no similar place in the Johto area for offering sacrifices to elves."

"That's because people in Chengdu have always believed in the existence of gods and souls, and they think that only by burying elves in the place closest to them can they rest in peace." Ah Yin said descriptively, without any emotion/color.

After all, Ah Yin himself is an atheist.He doesn't believe in the existence of such things as souls - dead elves will only be mixed with other things under certain conditions to combine into new ghost-type elves.Then the new elf will have no memory of the past at all.

So to die is to die.

Represents the disappearance of an existence.

"In that case, it will be difficult to have a comparison—" Xiao Liang rolled back with his knees hugged.

"If Yinjun, you have been to the Pokémon Tower in Kanto or the Sending Volcano in Fengyuan, you will find that it is worthy of being called a 'cemetery'-a dead and silent place, where can faintly come from to go to the grave The cries of the dead, the smog fills the air all the year round, and after walking a few steps, you will encounter ghost-type elf lovers who invite you to fight, or those who come to pay homage complain that you have disturbed their elves’ lives.”

"However, the Lost Tower in the Sinnoh area is different." Xiaoliang smiled, and easily told Ah Yin what she saw and heard at that time.

In the Sinnoh region, death is not something to be feared.Because there are myths and legends that "dead Pokémon will be transformed into rebirth in flowing water", many people here are popular with "water burial", and sprinkle the ashes of dead elves along the river, hoping that they will gather one day Rebirth.

In this way, those buried in the Lost Tower are basically the "relics" of some elves.

Favorite toys, clothing worn, and collars that have been replaced several times.

The Lost Tower is also a place where people come to talk about the good memories of the past as if they were reunited with old acquaintances.

Lost Tower, a tower where lost elves gather.

The lighting here is good, the sun is shining all day long, and the soft and fragrant grass is full of warm light.

There is a taste of joy here.

This is a safe haven for people.

The elves of the ghost system are playfully playing games with humans, pretending to be the elves of people when they were alive, and making harmless jokes with them.

— That's why people didn't expect the disaster.

——So, no one thought that there would be such a person who wanted to destroy everything so crazily.

Xiao Liang's hands gradually clenched, leaving white marks on his arms.

When they entered the Lost Tower, Xiao Liang and A You happened to meet a family who was nostalgic for the first anniversary of the death of their elves.

The dead elf of that family happened to be a Pikachu. When they saw the Pikachu in Xiaoliang's arms, they invited Xiaoliang and Ayou to join their family's celebration—yes, the dead Pikachu The day happened to be the birthday of their youngest child.

They brought their family here to hold a birthday celebration, and wanted Pikachu, who had passed away, to feel their happiness today.

From their conversation, Xiao Liang knew that Pikachu had lived for a long time.

It has accompanied the middle-aged couple for more than 30 years, from acquaintance, to acquaintance, to marriage, to childbirth.

But the lifespan of elves like Pikachu is always short.

It is always aging at a much faster rate than humans.

It didn't wait until their kids grew up after all.

Xiaoliang listened to them laughing and talking about the past, the way he met Pikachu for the first time, the way he won the first fight, the way he cried after losing for the first time, the way he stood for the first time The look on the league podium.

It was only then that Xiao Liang was surprised to find that the old man in front of him, who was no longer young, was a league champion in the past!

The uncle proudly showed off to Xiao Liang while drinking the wine. The woman next to him glanced at his complacent husband angrily, but she still couldn't hold back her husband and picked up the wine bottle to refill his glass.

The uncle talked more and more vigorously, and finally looked at Pikachu in Xiaoliang's arms and said regretfully, if he hadn't buried the electric beads that had accompanied Pikachu for so many years in the tomb, he would definitely have taken it out and given it to Xiaoliang—— —Xiao Liang was so frightened that he quickly waved his hand and refused.

How could such a significant thing be given to her so easily!

After finally meeting, it is fate, and Pickup will definitely not be satisfied that his big trump card can only be buried in the soil!

The uncle said with a drunken face, with regret on his face.

Tsk, it shouldn't be buried, the pickup will definitely say mine.

As he spoke, he got up staggeringly, walked to the tombstone with a Pikachu engraved on it, patted the Pikachu made of stone, and greeted him like a friend.

Hey pickup, what do you think?

No one answered him.

of course not.

Except for the graying woman behind him whining about the baby that his dad must have had too much to drink this time.

The uncle was silent for a while, then giggled.

Right, shall I just say it?You guys must feel the same way, right?

Then he did something that made everyone's eyes widen—

He released a strange force and moved the tomb cover away.

What are you doing, dad?

The yelling of the family behind him did not stop the uncle from rummaging.

Looking for something, don't make noise!

The uncle was rummaging through the grave with blurred vision—then he froze.

No, nowhere!

The woman behind her finally couldn't bear it and stepped forward.

The child's father, you are really... ah, why are you turning around so messily!

chaos?But he obviously didn't flip it much.

The nerves paralyzed by alcohol finally began to function again, and the uncle realized that something was wrong.

That's right, before he buried his elf's storage box, he had carefully sorted it out with his wife and children!

——So why is it such a mess?

——So why are things missing?

"Why?" Xiao Liang's face was stained with sarcasm, "The answer is obvious, isn't it?"

"Because someone stole it."

"Stolen as a power source by a pathetic person who tried to get his hands on another world."

The angry uncle summoned a wind speed dog, searched for it in the Lost Tower, and found him a basement in a hidden corner on the first floor.

Fight, bite, howl, panic.

After destroying the enchantment formed by a few cursed amulets, the information revealed from that piece of ground, and the rotten smell from the extinguishing made everyone present change their faces.

There was a sad man hiding there.

Ugly in appearance and weird in thinking, he was called a "monster" by children throwing stones on the side of the road.The only one who can understand him and accompany him since childhood is a floating bubble.

A floating bubble that is almost old.

Therefore, it was only natural that Bubble Floating passed away when that person was a teenager.

He is crazy, he refuses to accept this fact, he tries to create an instrument to revive his floating bubble, he becomes more and more weird and repelled.

He is getting more and more alone.

In the end he succeeded, he managed to find a Wraith Shadow Doll in the Lost Tower - that was his dead floating bubble, reborn as a ghost elf.

But Resentment Shadow Doll doesn't remember him.

In the eyes of the resentful shadow doll who had just been "born" and had just been formed, he was just a terrible human being who had lost his soul, was dirty, and came from nowhere.

The "predecessors" in the Lost Tower warned the Resentful Shadow Doll that it is best not to get close to such a paranoid person, or he will be dragged to hell with him.

So the Resentful Shadow Doll escaped.

After it escaped, the boy behind it fell to the ground.

He was betrayed.

He was dropped.

It doesn't want him anymore.

No, not right!

The lonely teenager struggled painfully.

He wasn't the one who was abandoned!no!

Floating Bubbles will not abandon him!

It is not its floating bubble!

Yeah...it's not.

His floating bubble must still be in this tower.

It was just hidden by others.

Hidden by those ghost elves.

The teenager hypnotized himself with what he thought was the "truth".

Since the memory of floating bubbles was hidden by those guys.

——Then, he went to find it and took it out, wouldn't it be good?

The moment the basement was opened, everyone covered their noses with the stench and bloody smell.The corpses of elves scattered on the ground, the rampant energy of various systems, and the surviving life soaked in formalin solution.

Here is hell.

living hell.

And the person sitting in the middle... no, it can no longer be called a human being.In order to better "sense" his own floating bubbles, the boy transformed himself.

This time, he truly turned into a monster.

Created a monster of a monster.

Under the influence of the boy's mysterious instrument, it is difficult for elves other than the ghost department to display their due fighting ability.Ayou commanded the Dream Demon and the Snow Demon to resist, while Xiao Liang, who didn't have a ghost-type elf on him, hid behind embarrassingly.

It was a difficult and dangerous battle that no one wanted to recall.

The originally friendly and naughty ghost elves all went crazy and attacked them, attacking all the people who came to the Lost Tower to pay homage.

The alliance quickly set up a first-level security boundary and sent a team composed of Miss Joy and the search officer.

Xiaoliang was originally evacuated, but she was worried about her traveling companion and Ayou who took the initiative to stay behind, so she gritted her teeth and slipped back quietly.

——It would be fine if you didn't go back.

It's fine if you don't go back.

If she didn't go back, her Pikachu...

Xiao Liang was sobbing uncontrollably, the scene of the little yellow elf exploding in front of his eyes was still vivid in his memory, like a knife cutting, the pain spread all over his body.

However, after saying it, it was as if a stone had been put down in his heart, and Xiao Liang felt much more relaxed.

After the Lost Tower incident ended, Ayou left the team of two people and disappeared.

She embarks on a journey alone, with memories on her back.

The more people praised her, the more people praised her, the stone in her heart seemed to be a little heavier.

That was a compliment she wasn't entitled to.

——Until I met Ah Yin.

"It doesn't matter if you say I'm selfish or stupid, but after knowing that Yin Jun is a member of the Rockets, I'm actually... relieved." Xiao Liang said with a wry smile.

Ah Yin naturally knew what she meant - a person like her who killed her elf because of her own mistakes, and a person called the evil Team Rocket, might just be a perfect match.

"So, it's not Yin-jun who is using me. In fact, I am also looking for sustenance and comfort in Yin-jun."

"I...I don't want this journey to end, not for the so-called righteousness and friendship, even for myself."

"I need Silver Lord."

Xiao Liang said seriously.

She stared closely at those silver-white eyes, and the sweat in her palms couldn't stop soaking the sheets under her hands.She has said what should be said, and she has done what should be done. Next, she is waiting for Ah Yin's trial.

She looked at Ah Yin and took a deep breath, with a smile on her face.

A smile that I don't know how to describe.

Not like sarcasm, not gentle.

She heard him speak.

"Beforehand, although I am a member of the Rockets, in terms of real role, I am not as good as those outsiders."

……Hey?

"I have never participated in any Team Rocket activities, nor have I used illegal means to harm elves."

…………Huh? !

"It really surprised me, Xiao Liang, you used to be such a person—"

………………Hey Hey hey!

Xiao Liang's eyes widened, looking at the mischievous smile on Ah Yin's face opposite him.

Wait, the director took the wrong script, hey!

This is not the same as the promised him-ah!

The author has something to say:

Xiaoliang: We agreed to join hands to create a better new future!

Ah Yin: Heh, did you tell me to bully me before?

Watching the comments decrease exponentially I'm so happy

Maybe I have a special skill that makes people not want to comment_(:з」∠)_

Come and eat my ghost pianli!
