Pokémon Beyond the Blue

"Ikki, is there any store here? You must be too tired and confused."

Yuuto squatted on the ground and looked carefully. He even rummaged under the rocks, but he didn't see where the store Ikki mentioned was.

"No...impossible. I was still here a few hours ago. I swear I didn't hallucinate. I didn't!"

There are no shops here at all, not even a trace of their existence.Even when I asked about the shops on both sides, I got the same answer: "No one has rented it at all next to it. They haven't rented it for a long time." This is the same answer.Riolu could also tell that if the store manager Ikki mentioned really moved away during this period and paid hush money to others, the weeds in this vacant land would not be able to grow so tall, so This assumption is self-defeating.

"There really is a store here. I didn't lie to you." Ikki desperately wanted to tell Riolu Yuuto the truth. His young face blushed slightly, but he was met with a look of doubt.

"Okay, okay, I believe it. I think we should head to the next town quickly. Ikki's friends have already left!"

Seeing no progress in the matter, I became a little impatient and hurriedly urged.

Riolu nodded in agreement.Their group is probably the slowest among the trainers at the same time. If the delay continues, it will take who knows how many years and months it will take to participate in the conference.

"You...well, you don't believe it anyway."

Ikki's head was drooped, and his whole body was like a deflated rubber ball, passively following Yuuto forward.

It's not that Riolu doesn't believe Ikki, he can even believe every word Ikki says unconditionally, but the facts are before his eyes, there is no evidence to prove that he is telling the truth, and all the conditions are contrary to his words.

'There must be something going on here. '

Riolu had to think so.The bottle that suddenly appeared at that time was enough to explain the problem. Since Ikki said that the potion was the store manager's original creation, it was probably the store manager's doing. In addition, the "suddenly disappearing store" mentioned by Ikki means It further confirms this view.But now, even if they have a target, they have no way to find the person who has gone for a long time, so they have to give up and leave it to Miss Junsha to handle the case.

The journey is always long. After all, humans are not elves. In addition, this place is located in a mountainous area with many forests. It is even more difficult to reach the destination.

"Ah, the fresh air!"

Yuuto released Squirtle and took a deep breath in the dense woods.

Riolu climbed up a relatively tall tree, stood on the branch and looked into the distance.Not long after, the direction forward was determined.

"Olu!"

Riolu jumped down from the tree crown and tugged at the corner of Ikki's clothes, who was still listless.Ikki sighed and glanced at Riolu.

"I really didn't lie to you..."

Riolu stared at him and saw the loneliness on his face. Did he really not trust him a little too much?Find an opportunity to increase your trust in him.

"Hey hey hey! What is that!"

Yuuto suddenly screamed, causing Riolu and Ikki to both cover their ears.The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"Look! The one flying in the sky!"

Originally, he was a person who liked to make a fuss. Usually when he yelled like this, it was mostly because of trivial matters or ordinary things. As long as he ignored him, he would calm down on his own, but now Yuuto's uncharacteristic behavior finally got two points. Attracting people's attention, they looked up to the sky.

A fiery red elf flew gracefully in the cloudless sky, with colorful streams of light falling behind it, and gradually, gradually, disappeared out of sight.

[Unrecognizable, there are still many elves in the world that humans have not discovered. 】

Riolu suddenly read this sentence from the illustrated book in his hand.

Ikki heard the sound and turned his attention to Riolu, but found that he was a little strange, actually motionless, and his other hand was faintly emitting a golden shimmer.

"Riolu?!"

"Europe……"

Riolu's cloudy pupils regained their luster instantly.

"Are you OK!"

Riolu nodded, suddenly remembered something, and suddenly raised his paw, and the golden luster finally disappeared. What he had in his hand now was just a stone, an ordinary stone that couldn't be more ordinary.

————————————————————

The moment Riolu saw Ho-Oh, his consciousness was forcibly brought into another world.

It was a pure white world, absolute white, white without a trace of pollution, suffocating white

.

"Humans, why are you here?"

A female voice echoed in the pale world. The voice didn't sound very old, but it gave people a sacred and solemn feeling.

"You...who are you! Why do you know..."

"What do you know? You're human, you can't fool me!"

The elegant figure of King Ho appeared out of thin air in front of Riolu.Riolu found it difficult to breathe just by looking at her, and his limbs gradually began to weaken.

Could this be the pressure of the legendary Phoenix King?

"Human, although I don't know why you look like an elf, your soul is still human. Haha, it's really ridiculous."

An imperceptibly sarcastic smile appeared on King Feng's face, but it disappeared in an instant.

"It's not like I want this!"

In this space, Riolu was surprised to find that he could actually speak, but what mattered was not this matter, but the purpose of King Phoenix.

"You must be Phoenix King. Since you are a legendary beast, you must have a way to help me, right?"

King Feng seemed to find it a bit funny, and opened his mouth: "Whether there is a method or not, what does it have to do with you? And you actually know me, so you must not be an ordinary person."

Riolu was under tremendous pressure, and it was not easy to hold on all the time, but King Feng didn't seem to realize this, and still looked at him with interest.

"In so many years, you are the first guy who even I find incredible. It's so interesting, so interesting!" King Feng suddenly laughed, "Forget it, I'll just help you."

Seeing that King Feng actually said that he wanted to help him, Riolu's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Human, here you go."

A bright light shone in front of Ho-oh, and the light was so strong that Riolu had to cover his eyes with his hands.The ball of light slowly flew towards Riolu, and the light gradually weakened.Riolu grabbed the ball of light and held it in his paws before rubbing his eyes that were almost blinded by the shock.

"what is this?"

"This is just something I found accidentally. It feels a bit troublesome, so I'll give it to you. This thing can temporarily increase your power, but don't expect too much. After all, it's just a boring thing."

Riolu waited until the light faded slightly before he dared to look through the gaps in his claws to take a look at what Ho-Oh called boring.

"So, what about the side effects?"

This time it was King Feng's turn to be surprised: "Yes, I didn't expect you to have thought of this step. My interest in you is really getting stronger and stronger!"

The Phoenix King stretched his head over, and there was an interesting smile all over the phoenix head.

"The side effect is that the elves who use it will turn into the shiny variety. It's just asking for trouble, isn't it?"

'Looking for trouble? Riolu's mouth twitched, "It's completely useful to be able to improve your abilities at this price." '

You must know that if you want to improve your strength in this world, you must work hard. Humans have been looking for props that can improve your strength without doing anything for countless years. In the eyes of Phoenix King, they are indeed useless garbage. I really don’t know how many treasures this guy has.

"How to use it?" Riolu carefully groped for the 'junk' in his hand, without any clue.

"I don't know either, so it's useless,"

Riolu almost fell to the ground.

"Okay, human, you can go."

Phoenix King waved his wings, and a strong wind suddenly blew in the empty world. The space became chaotic and the vision became blurred.

'It should be said that it is worthy of being a mythical beast. Even its thoughts are so magical..."

Only then did Riolu realize that Ikki was shaking him.Responding to his concern, Riolu showed the thing in his hand to Ikki.

"What is this? Isn't it just an ordinary stone?"

Riolu didn't know why, but since it was given by Phoenix King, it meant it had some use.I don’t know how it knows the efficacy of this thing. Doesn’t it say it doesn’t know how to use it?

Shrugging, Riolu threw the stone into his backpack, ignoring Yuuto who was still daydreaming about the beauty of Ho-oh. Riolu pulled Ikki and continued towards Nibi City.
