Pokémon Beyond the Blue

"Hey, Riolu, isn't this good for us?"

It was now late at night, and Ikki followed Riolu who had to wake him up and sneaked to the stables.

Originally Riolu planned to come alone, but considering that the Flame Horse might come out to attack, he still called Ikki up as a shield against the Flame Horse.

There was silence all around, except for the soft sound of stepping on the grass.

Slowly pushing the door open, Riolu cautiously looked inside.Both the flame horse and the little fire horse have fallen asleep, but the burning flames on their bodies will not go out, which just provides a field of vision, so that they don't have to call the little fire dragon out to use as a flashlight.

"Although we are not thieves, what are we going to do if Irene sees us?"

[Okay, let’s leave as soon as we’re done. We won’t be discovered. 】

Riolu lay down in front of the flame horse's compartment and confirmed that the flame horse was really asleep, then slowly called Ikki and walked towards the little flame horse.

[You keep watching and leave the rest to me! 】

What needs to be done now is: to understand what happened to the little fire horse?And how to help it.

Riolu gently pressed the softest part of his paw, the flesh ball, on the part of the little fire horse's forehead that had no flame, closed his eyes, and concentrated on controlling the waveguide.

'It's very chaotic, like two storms colliding, and the waveguide flows irregularly. '

The waveguide on the little fire horse made Riolu feel very sad, as if he had seen it before somewhere.

"Riolo?" Ikki suddenly called him at this moment.

"Olu?"

"It's okay, you cried."

Riolu was surprised at first. He raised his paw and rubbed his eyes. Sure enough, there were traces of liquid flowing out.

[I'm fine, I was just affected by the little fire horse.You continue to pay attention to your surroundings. 】

Riolu pressed his paw up again, trying his best to comfort the confused little fire pony.

Even though I can't control the waveguide, I can still manage to simply convey my mood, but it's a bit difficult.

Gradually, the waveguide on the little fire horse began to level off with the help of Riolu, and there should be no problem if it continues.

But at this moment, a large milk can not far from the door suddenly made a loud cry, but it probably just turned over.But there was a problem with this call - the mountain was very quiet, and it was even scarier at night. This call was definitely considered noise at night like this.

The light in the stable suddenly became a little bigger - that was a sign that the flaming horse had woken up.

"No! The flame horse has woken up, what should we do Riolu?"

There is no back door to the stable, so if you want to escape, you can only do it now.

'Tsk, are you so unlucky...'

"Olu!!"

With no time to free his hands to type, Riolu could only rely on barking to convey information to Ikki.

"But... okay, I know, I will try to delay as much as possible, but you still have to hurry!"

Ikki called out Charmander and Lulili, silently waiting for the wrath of the Flame Horse to come.

Why not use Gengar?Although he had subdued Gengar, Gengar did not listen to Ikki's words. After the last battle, it took Ikki a long time to take Gengar back. He did not want to do it again unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Lu Lili, use [Pray for Rain]," but considering that Riolu was still concentrating, he added, "The range should be smaller..."

Since we are here to solve the problem, we cannot hurt the little fire horse.After all, Praying for Rain is a water-type move. It will be fine if it affects Riolu, but it's hard to tell for the little fire horse.

The longer Riolu conveyed his emotions, the more he could feel how deeply the fire pony was hurt inside.

The Blazing Horse stood up and saw an extra thick fog in the stable, and immediately understood that someone had broken into the place.But with such a thick fog, the Flame Horse could only stay away. After finding that there was no breakthrough, it could only launch [Jet Flame] into the fog.

But the effect was unexpectedly good. In addition to Lu Lili, Ikki and Charmander were also blocked by this. They were caught off guard by the sudden flames, but luckily they didn't hit.

There is no reason for the Flame Horse to do this. If you observe carefully, you can find that no matter how irregular the Flame Horse's attacks are, the flames are all concentrated on the soil, and not a single flame falls on the wood or hay. It has obviously been destroyed here. The terrain is memorized.

"What happened? It's so noisy..."

Riolu secretly thought something was wrong, he didn't expect to wake up Irene.

Irene's lazy voice came from outside the door, and the sound of footsteps clearly told the two of them that she had arrived at the door.

"Eh?! What happened here!"

Erin, who saw a thick fog as soon as she entered the door, was stunned on the spot and even pinched herself to make sure she was dreaming.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts. It seems like I'm not dreaming. Then... who's in there! What do you want to do? If you want to take advantage of our little fire horse, I won't let you go. I'll beat you up." That’s it!”

Riolu opened his eyes and looked at Ikki. After thinking that he should be able to handle it, he increased the output power of the waveguide, although the effect was minimal.

"Miss Irene, I am Ikki, please make the flaming horse stop attacking!"

"Ikki? Why are you here?"

"The reason will be explained later. Please ask the flaming horse to stop attacking first!"

Although the impact area is very wide, the impact points of the flames are also very scattered. Although it has not affected Riolu, who is concentrating on it, what if one of them does?Riolu definitely couldn't avoid it.

"...I know, I will make the flame horse stop attacking, but I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation later."

Through the thick fog, Ikki could hear the clicking sound of Irene's fingers as well as the penetrating tone.

Sure enough, after Irene said these words, the flame horse stopped spraying flames.Ikki also asked Lu Lili to cancel Praying for Rain, and kept using this big move. After a long time, it couldn't bear it.

Wait

When the white mist dissipated, Irene discovered that Ikki was only hindering the flame horse. Next to the little flame horse was the elf from the daytime.

Ikki could only smile in embarrassment as Irene and Flame Horse's expressions turned dark.

Riolu encountered difficulties. After the emotional transmission reached a certain level, the little fire horse began to have a rejection reaction - just like the principle that after a virus enters the human body, the body will automatically produce antibodies, the little fire horse also responded to Leo. The emotions passed down by the road produced "antibodies".

'Aren't you looking in the right direction... This is going to be troublesome. '

Riolu seemed to have experienced the little fire pony's current situation, but he couldn't remember what happened...

"So, what is this doing?"

Irene placed the flaming horse at the door, then came to Riolu and looked around him. Apart from feeling uncomfortable, there was nothing special about him.

After Ikki asked Lulili to keep an eye on the flame horse, he also came to Riolu and whispered to Irene: "We are here to help. In order to thank you for taking us in for one night, I want to see if I can I want to help with anything, but I can’t do the work on the ranch. After thinking about it, I thought of the little fire horse, so I came here.”

"Is this really the case...Forget it, just treat it like this. It doesn't matter if I tell you about the little fire horse."

Erin looked at the little fire pony that Riolu was holding down, her expression became gentle, but she looked so miserable.

"This little fire horse has a very good talent. Basically, we don't need to worry about it. But by the time we notice it, the little fire horse has grown very big and strong."

"Isn't that a happy thing? Why..."

"The problem lies precisely in this matter. We were very happy that it was so healthy at first, so we didn't pay much attention to some problems - it grew too fast and it had powers that it shouldn't have early. It is this power that prevents other elves nearby from approaching him, which leads to him never having friends."

"So, the little fire pony is acting like this because he is too lonely?"

"Yes, although elves can be friends with humans, there will still be barriers due to different races, and communication is also very inconvenient. Therefore, the friends of elves must be elves."

"Do the friends of elves still have to be elves..."

Their conversation was kept as low as possible, but it still couldn't escape Riolu's ears.

'Friend...I see, why do I feel like I have seen each other before? '

Once he had a clue, Riolu found the breakthrough point of the problem and went straight to the topic in one go.

'I can't stand it for a long time. '

At the same time, the originally peaceful little fire horse suddenly struggled, hitting the wall with loud noises, and scratching its body with scars.

"Little Fire Pony! What's wrong with you!"

"Olu Olu! Olu!!"

"Eileen, hold down the little fire horse quickly, otherwise it will keep hurting you!"

Before Irene had time to convince herself, Ikki first stretched out his hand to stop the little fire pony's struggle.

"do not touch!"

When Ikki's hand was about to touch the little fire pony, Irene suddenly grabbed it.

"Let me do it. For those who are not close to you, the flames of the little fire horse will burn you!"

Ikki could only retract his hand, but he was not idle. The flame horse had already begun to attack.

While chatting with Irene during the day, Ikki learned that the flame horse was the mother of the little flame horse, so he completely understood the behavior of the flame horse.Just like Yukino when Ikki was sick, she was too busy to care about anything.

Eileen also knew that even she would not listen to anything the flame horse said.

"Can your elf really do this?"

From the beginning, Erin felt strange. Shouldn't grass elves emit light and use skills during treatment?But this elf has just put its paws on the little fire horse's head from now on, and it doesn't look like a super type, let alone a grass type.

"Olu!!"

"He said there was no problem!"

There was absolutely nothing that could be done against them, so Irene had no choice but to believe in them.

After Riolu understood the reason, he became even more determined.

'Only by experiencing this kind of memory can you feel the pain it brings, but, but, this kind of memory can only stop here. Even if it is a complete stranger, even if you know nothing about it, this kind of memory can only stop here. That's it, there will be more good memories in the future, so forget it, forget these pains, if you can't do it, then let me stop it! '

No friends, alone... there is no need to exist anymore!

The little fire horse had used all his strength to struggle. If it hadn't been for Erin's help, the little fire horse might have seriously injured himself.But Erin is really strong...

"Oh...way!!!"

Riolu also poured the maximum output he could into the little fire horse, but he already felt like he was losing strength...

This continued for about a minute, and Riolu and the little fire horse stopped moving at the same time.The little fire pony lay on the ground and fell into a deep sleep, and Riolu collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.

'Ah~ I didn't expect it to develop like this, I thought it would be easy...'

When this happened, Ikki asked Riolu to hold the flame horse, and then he came to Riolu's side in a few steps.

"How's it going?"

'Ah, yes, I still need to explain the situation...'

He raised his paw with difficulty and patted Ikki twice on his arm.

"Yeah, then you should have a good rest."

Riolu raised his head with the help of Ikki, looked at the sleeping little fire horse, and smiled with an unknown meaning.

Why are you working so hard to solve the problem of the little fire horse?

the reason is simple:

He just thought of his former self who had not yet been redeemed...
