[Pokemon] Late Autumn

"Mr. Xia Jia, long time no see!"

Late Qiu opened his watch and saw a familiar figure projected, and said hello with a smile.

Xiaozhi is also in contact with Dr. Oak. No matter how long you travel, you should always call back the people who are worried about you to reassure them.

"Long time no see, Late Qiu." Xia Jia nodded, "Where are you now?"

"I just got the rock badge from the Kanaz Gym! This is it." Late Qiu held up the small badge in front of the screen, which was very gorgeous.

"Good job."

"I have experienced a lot of things before. Oh, I also found a rock covered with moss in the Orange Forest. The special magnetic field there seems to allow Eevee to evolve.

Dairubi has also evolved and is currently undergoing treatment. He looks very handsome.

I also met many new friends, Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town, Xiaogang, the former gym leader of Nibi Gym, Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng from Chenghua City, and this - the champion of Fengyuan region. "

She deliberately lengthened her tone and turned around so that Mr. Shaka could see the people around her.

"Hello, Mr. Shaka, I have long admired your name." Daigo smiled and nodded in greeting.

"Hello, Mr. Xia Jia!" Xiaozhi and the others said in unison.

"..." Xia Jia looked back and forth at them and nodded slightly, "Hello, I am Xia Jia."

"Mr. Shaka! There is a new challenger here! You now..."

"okay, I get it."

Xia Jia looked at Shen Qiu seriously, with less obvious concern in his voice: "Protect yourself when traveling outside. I have challengers here, so I won't say more now."

"Okay. Goodbye, Mr. Xia Jia." Seeing that Xia Jia had other things to do, Shenqiu nodded understandingly.

After saying that, Xia Jia's projection immediately dissipated in the air.

"Mr. Xia Jia is the leader of Double Dragon Gym and an elder I respect very much. He has given me a lot of help." Shenqiu turned around and explained to Xiaozhi and the others, "Although he is a little serious, he is very enthusiastic. people."

"It feels very powerful at first glance," Xiaoyao tapped his chin with his finger, "but it is a bit scary at first glance."

...Nothing wrong, Shenqiu thought to herself. It was the first time she was shocked by that powerful aura when she was a child.

At this time, the gentle voice of Miss Joy from the Elf Center came over: "Excuse me, your Heiluga has recovered to health."

"Thank you, Miss Joy."

After receiving Heiluga's elf ball, Shenqiu immediately released it. Heiluga shook his body and guarded Shenqiu like a knight.

"Eh? Doesn't your Heiluga like going into the Poké Ball?" Xiaozhi asked curiously when he saw Shen Qiu's movements.

Late Qiu touched the down on Hei Lujia's back and shook his head: "No. Hei Lujia is my best companion. Of course he will come out and travel with me."

Heiluga nodded calmly.

"I'm so envious." Xiaoyao sighed, "I wish I had such a handsome elf."

But her current elves...are all super cute.

Well, although she likes it very much, who doesn’t want to have a handsome and considerate elf?

"The final evolved form of the Fire Chicken is very handsome," Shenqiu winked lightly, "The Flame Chicken has dual attributes of fire and fighting. It is a very secure elf."

Hearing Shen Qiu praise other elves, Heiluga glanced at Shen Qiu dissatisfied and snorted.

"Okay, my Heiluga is the most handsome." Shenqiu smiled to appease the jealous dog.

Suddenly, Daigo's phone rang.

"I'm sorry." Dawu pointed to his phone apologetically, walked aside and picked it up.

A sudden silence.

"By the way, where is the next nearest gym, Xiaosheng?" Xiaozhi suddenly asked, breaking the somewhat dull atmosphere.

"Well, let me see, the nearest gym is..." Xiao Sheng picked up the navigator and looked at the map, "It's in Wudou Town! You can go there by boat from here."

"Yo Xi! Then let's set off quickly!" Xiaozhi suddenly became excited, "Late Qiu, what are your plans?"

"I have one more thing I want to figure out, so I won't leave with you."

"Oh, that's it, then I wish you good luck." He smiled and waved his hand to Shen Qiu, "I'll see Shen Qiu again when I have the chance!"

Late Qiu was about to invite Xiaozhi and the others to visit Karnaz City and the Devin Company building with him, when he saw Xiaozhi running away.

"Don't walk so fast, Xiaozhi!" Xiaogang and Xiaosheng quickly caught up with Xiaozhi.

"...Really, why is this person so anxious..." Xiaoyao sighed helplessly and spread his hands towards Shenqiu, "That's it, there's really nothing he can do about Xiaozhi. Then, we have made an appointment, Kaina City I'm waiting for you in the gorgeous contest! Goodbye Late Autumn!"

After saying that, she also chased after him.

Late autumn: "..."

After a long time, the outstretched hand was put back again.

Young people are so energetic.

"Waiting for a long time... eh?" Dawu hung up the phone, only to find that Xiaozhi and the others had disappeared, and only Shenqiu was left there. "Have Xiaozhi-kun and the others left already?"

"As you can see." Shenqiu pointed helplessly to the coastline not far away, and she could see a ship parked in the port in the distance.

"..." Dawu laughed and shook his head, "They are too fast."

Immediately, his expression suddenly became serious: "Dewen Company found out who the thief was who stole the research data. They came from an illegal organization called the Water Fleet in the Fengyuan area. They had sneaked into the company and took away an important document. The information was also reported on TV not long ago.”

"Dewen Company may not be safe recently." He organized his words and observed Late Qiu's expression. "I think, if you don't mind, you can leave the question about that mysterious crystal to me temporarily? If there is any result, I will Let me tell you as soon as possible."

"This is too troublesome for you. I don't think it is a big problem." Shenqiu shook his head in disapproval, then looked at him firmly, "Since Devon Company is in trouble, then we should go over and help Zivucci Sir, please help. I will protect myself, don’t worry about that, Heiluga is still here.”

Dawu didn't agree immediately and hesitated.

The call just now was made by his father. I heard that he was in Kanaz City and asked him to pay attention to the suspicious people around him recently and protect himself at the same time.

Perhaps because it was inconvenient to talk on the phone, he didn't know what kind of research information the fleet had stolen, nor did he know how dangerous and serious the matter was.

At a small level, he can solve the problem of the person who stole the research information by himself; at a big level, he needs to inform the alliance about this matter and work with other investigators before he can take action and wipe out this group.

But there is really no need for Late Qiu to be involved.

Shenqiu noticed Daigo's hesitation and quickly added: "I will pay attention to safety! Isn't it true that Daigo is here, and everything will be fine."

Dawu nodded helplessly: "Okay, follow me."

Various staff members greeted Dawu along the way, and then their eyes turned to Late Qiu.

"Who is that little girl?"

"I don't know, but her Heiruga is so tall."

"You look so handsome from a distance."

"The same goes for Mr. Daigo, he is still so brilliant and charming today!"

She accidentally discovered that many staff members seemed to be concentrating on their work but were secretly observing her and Daigo's movements with their peripheral vision, and couldn't help but cover their mouths and smile.

Naturally, Daigo also discovered it. He smiled helplessly and said nothing.

Daigo took her to a spacious laboratory, where various instruments were neatly placed, and there were many mysterious and beautiful stones, large and small.

Late Qiu thought for a while and temporarily took back Heiluga.

The instruments here look expensive and sophisticated, and there's nothing unsafe about them.

"This is a place that my father and I use together, a place to study the composition of stones." Dawu pointed to a cylindrical glass container next to him, walked to the side next to the operating table, and clicked a few buttons naturally, "Okay. , just put it there.”

The stone madman is actually inherited from his ancestors? Late Qiu couldn't help but complain in her heart.

She coughed slightly and turned her attention back to business. She took out the ocean blue crystal from her bag and carefully put it in through the open glass door according to Daigo's instructions.

The glass door closed automatically. Dawu raised his head and glanced at the machine above, operating it very skillfully.

The laser probe above stretched in, emitting dazzling green light, scanning the crystal bit by bit.

There was no movement in the crystal.

He pulled up the energy scan data, looked up at the wave curve on the screen, and his expression suddenly became serious.

The energy of this crystal is continuing to rise in an unstable state. That is to say——

It's absorbing the energy from the laser!

But...what the hell is going on?

The sea-blue crystal was covered with a layer of light green light, and its shape seemed to become larger, growing as if it were alive.

After Daigo discovered this, his eyes widened suddenly and he quickly stopped scanning.

The light layer above the crystal flickered, then gradually dimmed, and stopped absorbing energy.

…It’s incredible.

Daigo frowned, feeling that things were a little tricky. He had never encountered such a situation before, and this was the first time he encountered this magical phenomenon.

He clicked on the operating table again, trying to detect the ingredients using another method.

Fortunately, this crystal only absorbs the energy in the laser and does not absorb anything else.

"Meteorite?!"

When Daigo saw the ingredient data displayed on the screen, his eyes widened for a moment and he spoke in disbelief.

This crystal... is radiating cosmic rays...!

"Meteorite?" Shenqiu repeated doubtfully, and looked at the crystal lying quietly in the glass container.

It turns out that it is something that does not belong to the earth... No wonder it is so mysterious.

The value of meteorites is not small. She feels very strange now. Why is this kind of thing given away as a trophy?

Shouldn't things like meteorites be placed in a research institute or somewhere else and studied properly?

"I'm sorry, Shen Qiu, I'm afraid I can't let you carry such a dangerous thing with you..." Daigo tried to convince her, "This crystal will absorb the surrounding energy and radiate cosmic rays outwards. It is not yet certain whether It’s harmful to the human body, but I still think it’s better to nip it in the bud.”

None of them noticed that the crystal in the glass container moved.

Shen Qiu thought about it and nodded: "If that's the case, then I'll put it here."

The alarm on the console suddenly rang.

They quickly looked around, only to find that the crystal block that was supposed to be lying quietly in the container was hitting the glass time and time again.

What on earth... happened?

Late Qiu looked at the fantasy scene in front of her in disbelief.

With a "crash", the glass container shattered, and the mysterious crystal flew up staggeringly, and then, as if it lacked energy, it hit the ground with a "dong".

The two of them were startled, but luckily it was a false alarm.

Shen Qiu went over to pick up the crystal from the ground and put it back to its place, but Dawu pulled him back: "It's too dangerous, Shen Qiu, don't get close to this thing."

The two stared at the crystal on the ground nervously and took a few steps back carefully.

A sea-blue transparent energy ball floated from the crystal, breaking away from the shackles of tangible things. It seemed to become active all of a sudden, and floated in front of Late Autumn under Daigo's cautious sight.

It swayed up and down, as if it was expressing something. Seeing the fear and difference in Late Qiu's expression, it silently shrank back.

Still feeling a little aggrieved? Shen Qiu almost laughed in anger. She was obviously frightened by the unknown thing in front of her, but she didn't expect that the other party was more reasonable than her.

"What on earth are you... No, forget it, I don't want to know, and I don't understand what you are talking about."

Shen Qiu swallowed back the words she blurted out, and looked at the energy ball dangling in the air in surprise.

This ball of energy floated up and paused, seeming to be thinking about something.

It approached Shen Qiu cautiously, and when it saw that the other party did not avoid it like before, it stopped in front of her.

The light around it became brighter and brighter, becoming more and more dazzling. She couldn't help but close her eyes, and a somewhat cold feeling came from her cerebral cortex.

It was strange that there was no touch or communication, but she felt a bone-chilling cold feeling.

It's like a person staying alone in space, even the nearest living thing is tens of thousands of light years away; or like huddled in a damp and cold corner on a winter night, the fire has long been extinguished, leaving only the darkness. charcoal.

Without any warmth or light, the whole world is only dark and cold.

Is this...what it feels like?

It was obviously very warm inside the laboratory, but late autumn couldn't help but shiver.

Heiluga suddenly jumped out of the elf ball and used his tail to wrap Shen Qiu in his arms, giving her some of the warmth on his body. At the same time, it stared intently at this strange energy group, making a low, threatening sound in its throat.

She opened her eyes suddenly, and the energy ball in front of her eyes was still floating in front of her, seemingly unchanged.

No, something is different.

In her mind, she intermittently perceived words similar to "them", "me", "home" and "go".

Is this what this energy group wants to tell her?

The energy blob floated away unsteadily, sank, and retracted back into the crystal.

Late autumn: "..."

What the hell is this.

"Late Qiu, for safety reasons, I don't recommend you to carry it with you like before." Dawu said in a serious tone and glanced at the crystal on the ground again.

"I'll have people clean this up later. Don't worry, someone will be willing to study this..."

Shen Qiu sighed. She wanted to figure out what was going on, but she couldn't take it away and could only store it in the Devon Company's laboratory. She had no choice but to nod her head: "This is the best."
