[Pokemon] Late Autumn

Late Qiu was silent and walked back along the previous road.

The hot weather makes people sleepy, but Late Autumn didn't feel sleepy at all at this time. She frowned, always troubled by the strange behavior of the Fire Rock Team just now.

Fire Rock Team...

Their purpose is already clear, it is nothing more than to find a way to awaken Groudon, and then they don't know if they want to use Groudon to rule the world or something... But this seems to be the way the villains act?

Although they still don't know why they need the meteorite, but considering the previous actions of the Fire Rock Team in searching for clues in various ancient ruins, it is certain that this must be a way to awaken Groudon.

All in all, there is absolutely nothing wrong with preventing them from getting the meteorite.

In this case, it can be reasonably speculated that the purpose of the water fleet is to find Kyogre——

Yes, if that's the case, then it's not difficult to explain why the guy from the water fleet that I met in Devon Company before went to rob the important parts of the submarine!

But... is this the only truth of the matter?

In other words, do these two evil organizations have other ambitions besides using Groudon and Kyogre?

——This is currently unknown.

Moreover, another strange thing is that the man who is the leader of the Fire Rock Team seems to know her...? But she didn't remember a time when she let the Fire Rock guys see her face.

Late Qiu recalled the scene of the battle with the opponent, thinking about it, and his eyes unconsciously drifted to Heiluga next to him.

Speaking of which, that guy's Black Luca is really strong. No matter in terms of momentum or size, his own Black Luca can't compare with the opponent's.

Hei Lujia noticed Shen Qiu's thoughtful gaze, blinked strangely, and gave her a confused look in return.

……

However, Late Qiu was immersed in his own complicated thoughts and did not notice Heiluga's response.

Speaking of which, after breaking free from the shackles of Heiluga, that person could attack her at any time. It was already tense at that time, and the guy's Heiluga was so strong... but the other party had no intention of attacking her. .

It’s weird.

and many more……!

Could it be that the other party showed mercy because he also had a black ruga?

No, it's impossible. She even thinks it's funny for such an outrageous reason.

Shen Qiu shook her head in amusement and denied her idea.

Forget it, I thought I had sorted things out, but the other party messed me up, and now the situation is even more confusing.

hateful! It's all Team Fire's fault!

The hot weather and the messy clues made Late Qiu feel even more irritated. She took a deep breath, but felt inexplicably flustered in her heart.

"Late autumn!" A familiar voice came from my mind.

Before Shen Qiu could be confused, the next second, Lucario came flying from a distance.

It looked up and down at Late Autumn, and frowned unconsciously: "What happened? Just now your waveguide... fluctuated violently."

Shenqiu didn't expect Lucario to come suddenly. She was a little surprised, but she had no intention of hiding it: "I met someone from the Fire Rock Team... but it's okay now."

"What?! It's those guys!"

Lucario was shocked and angry, gritted his teeth angrily, and immediately looked at Shenqiu worriedly, "You're not hurt, are you?"

Shen Qiu shook her head and signaled Lucario not to worry. She told Lucario the whole story, including some things she found strange.

"...That's what happened. Dr. Solans finally threw the meteorite into the magma, and the leader of the Fire Rock Team..." Shenqiu hesitated for a moment, frowning, "It seems that he showed mercy to me...?"

Why is this happening?

Lucario didn't care whether Shen Qiu was related to the Fire Rock Team. What he was worried about was whether the other party's behavior would put Shen Qiu in greater danger.

And importantly, Shen Qiu did not cover her face, which meant that all of Shen Qiu's information was completely exposed to those people. And once Team Huoyan gets hold of late autumn’s information——

Lucario frowned fiercely and walked around anxiously, gritting his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

If only I could be stronger, stronger...!

Lucario is eager to improve his strength and does so at any cost. But on the other hand, it also knows that becoming stronger can only be achieved step by step and cannot be achieved overnight. This fact makes it feel very tortured.

Lucario, who has always been very sensitive to waveguides, didn't notice at all that his waveguides had become disordered - now all he could think about was that Late Autumn was in great danger.

Instead, Late Qiu noticed a clue.

She felt that her mood got worse in an instant, and the waveguide coming from Lucario became more disordered. Uneasiness, anxiety, irritability, nervousness, and a series of negative emotions attacked her. Shen Qiu tried her best not to be carried away by this emotion, and she immediately pinched the flesh on the back of her hand.

"Lucario!" The pain made her wake up for a moment. She restrained her emotions and shouted Lucario's name loudly.

"..." Lucario didn't respond to Shen Qiu for the first time.

Its already red eyes became even brighter red, its brows were furrowed, its face was cold, its sharp gaze was like a blade, sweeping toward Late Autumn, and an indescribable pressure unconsciously radiated out.

"Road..." Shen Qiu was startled, looking at the strange Lucario in front of him, and swallowed back the words that were on his lips.

Lucario's eyes widened as if he suddenly woke up. He shook his head violently, and the cold blood in his eyes faded. He looked around in disbelief, and then at Late Autumn, looking a little dazed.

After a while, Lucario gritted his teeth and spoke with difficulty: "I'm sorry...I, I just..."

In fact, it didn't know what was wrong with it. For a moment, it couldn't hear the outside world at all, and it didn't even notice when Late Autumn called its own name. All it could see was blood red, and the picture in its mind was of late Qiu encountering danger, and it seemed to hear Late Qiu's voice calling for help to it.

Where is this place? Late autumn? Where are you in late autumn? Lucario's dull eyes glanced around, but could see nothing but blood red.

This is hell. A voice in my heart said this.

"Lucario...Lucario!!" Mid-Autumn's voice suddenly made him wake up.

This, in the end is...

"It's okay, it's okay...relax, Lucario."

She was silent for a moment, and gently hugged Lucario, who lowered his head. "Don't worry... I'm here, I'm here..."

Lucario moved his body slightly to avoid the bone spurs on his chest and nodded sadly.

Late Qiu gently stroked Lucario's back, letting his breath completely surround Lucario. Maybe this would make it feel better.

Lucario smelled the familiar scent of Shen Qiu and slowly calmed down. He raised his arms with some hesitation and gently wrapped them around Shen Qiu's waist, not wanting to leave this warm embrace at all.

Heiluga next to him narrowed his eyes and snorted indifferently.

This guy! in the end! How long do you want to hold her?

Heiluga was so angry that he growled viciously at Lucario.

Lucario blinked and translated Heiluga's meaning to Shen Qiu in real time, without feeling there was anything wrong with his behavior at all.

"Ah...sigh." Shen Qiu held his forehead, held Hei Lujia's big head in his arms, and said in a teasing tone, "Is Hei Lujia jealous?"

Hei Lujia did not respond to her, but buried his head firmly in Qiu Qiu's chest, covering his red cheeks, as if he suddenly turned into a good dog.

Shen Qiu couldn't help but smile, buried her whole head on the top of Hei Lujia's head, took a deep breath, and then kissed the top of Hei Lujia's head gently while looking at Hei Lujia's blank eyes.

!!!

Hei Lujia... Hei Lujia felt like he was going to explode like a naughty thunder bomb.

Late Qiu stroked Hei Lujia's back and knew that they were affected by her emotions. This knowledge made her feel as if her heart was beating violently.

Her elves are the best companions, best friends, and relatives. The connection and bond between them exceeds all other people and elves, and is the most precious thing in the world.

Just as they want to protect themselves, Shen Qiu will never allow anything else to hurt their friends...even if it is their own bad emotions.

Late Qiu sighed, looked at Heiluga and Lucario, and said seriously: "Anyway...I'm sorry for making you worry."

She said it very seriously.

After all, Shen Qiu had just embarked on a journey and had experienced so many things. It was impossible for her to be as calm as an adult. Fortunately, the elves felt her emotional fluctuations and helped her recover from the influence of the Fire Rock Team.

Lucario was very happy to see Shen Qiu's firm gaze again, and Heiluga also curled up his lips. The two elves looked at Shen Qiu with the same smile, and then looked at each other inductively.

Kuruga narrowed his eyes slightly, and Lucario looked straight over and nodded slightly.

This is an agreement that only they understand.

"Speaking of which, Daigo..."

Lucario understood: "Mr. Daigo is still in the cave, do you want to go over now?"

Shen Qiu thought for a while and shook her head.

It was because of the guys from the Fire Rock Team that disturbed her mind just now. Now with the help of Lucario and Heiluga, she seemed to be able to calm down and continue the unfinished special training.

In late autumn, he returned to the empty field, released the young tooth dragon and mandible ants again, and asked the elves for their opinions. As expected, everyone was unanimously fighting, and each one became more energetic after hearing the training.

"I have a new idea."

All the elves came over curiously.

"Doubles are a very popular way of fighting in Fengyuan. Although we haven't encountered any gyms that have doubles battles so far, we must prepare for this in advance. In the past, we always pursued the strength of singles and ignored the strength of doubles. Cooperation, so we haven’t come up with any combo moves yet.”

Combo move? The young tooth dragon was still confused. It looked at its companions and didn't know what the combination of moves Shen Qiu was talking about.

"Sometimes, one plus one is greater than two." Shenqiu paused, noticed the gaze of the young tooth dragon, and smiled.

But Lucario understood, thoughtfully.

She turned her head and looked to the other side, and suddenly raised her voice: "Big Jaw Ant, Black Luga——"

"Quicksand Hell! Flame Vortex!"

Hei Lujia also immediately understood what Shen Qiu meant. He waited for a moment and saw that the quicksand hell used by the mandible ant was about the same strength. Then he launched his own proud flames and let the fire tornado bite and spin in the air. Flying sandstorm.

In the surprised eyes of other elves, the earthy yellow sand was wrapped in raging flames and covered with a purple-red flame coat. The flames danced with the gravel, spinning crazily in the air. The temperature of the flames mixed with the impact of the gravel, forming a A tornado of astonishing power.

This is it!

Heiluga and the Big-jawed Ant looked at each other, and together they controlled the hot sand to spin more violently and become more powerful.

However, a sudden gust of wind blew away a lot of sand, and the flames that had no place to adhere to rolled wildly. Heiluga was unable to open his eyes due to the wind and sand, and temporarily lost control of the flames.

The giant-jawed ants could not support such a powerful force alone. With a "bang", the hot sand suddenly exploded, and the scorching hot sand rain rained down with astonishing heat. Wherever it went, the ground was covered with hot water. The gravel melted into small pits.

With quick eyesight and quick hands, Lucario quickly rotated the bone rod condensed with waveguide, calmly blocking the attack of hot sand for Shen Qiu to prevent her from being burned by the sand.

When the sudden "rain" finally ended, Lucario glanced at Heiluga and Bigjaw Ant coldly, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Hei Lujia and Big Jaw Ant looked at each other and knew that it was their fault. They both lowered their heads in self-reproach and did not look at Shen Qiu's expression.

He made such a mistake just now and almost got Shen Qiu injured... He was really too weak. Heiluga's eyes darkened and he turned his head.

Although Shen Qiu would not blame them, any behavior that hurt Shen Qiu proved that he was not strong enough.

"...You guys are really amazing!"

What they didn't expect was that Shenqiu didn't pay attention to that little failure at all. She sounded excited and began to think of a name for the combination of moves, "Let me think about it, what is a good name for this combination of moves..."

Heiluga and Bigjaw Ant looked at each other.

"Quicksand Hell, flames, hot sand... Now that we have it, how about calling it 'Hot Sand Hell'!" Late Qiu suddenly had an idea.

Hot sand hell!

"...It's really good." Lucario was sure of the power of this move, but suddenly thought of what he had just heard and seen in a trance. His eyes darkened, and he lowered his head slightly, without being seen by Shenqiu.

Heiluga and Jaw Ant were also very satisfied with the name of this combo move and nodded at the same time.

Although a preliminary prototype has been formed, the speed and strength are still not good enough. Late autumn let them try a few more times and point out some mistakes.

Lucario was on the other side practicing his newly learned move - cannon light cannon.

This is all thanks to Daiwu's Metagross.

He encountered an obstacle in the cave just now, which could be solved directly with the Comet Fist, but Mr. Daigo still let Metagross use the cannon to demonstrate to him.

Although they didn't say anything clearly, they all looked at him, and Lucario immediately understood the other person's kindness and nodded gratefully to Metagross.

Metagross smiled and explained the essentials of the cannon to Lucario. Daigo beside him was concentrating on digging rocks. For a while, everyone got along very harmoniously.

"This is it!" Dawu used a small shovel to shovel the last handful of soil, and took out the dazzling stone that was hidden deep in the soil.

Rich energy filled the entire stone, and the hot temperature was like flowing magma, concentrated in this crystal clear stone.

This is a fire stone of excellent color.

Just when Daigo was about to say something, Lucario suddenly raised his head, frowning tightly, staring outside for a long time, and then looked at Metagross.

They were probably communicating something using waveguides. The anxiety on Lucario's face didn't seem to be fake. Metagross was also a little worried. After nodding, Lucario rushed out like flying.

Did you encounter something in late autumn?

"Meta, metameta!" Metagross explained to Dawu what Lucario meant, and Dawu could probably understand it after spending so long with Metagross. He guessed that something went wrong over there in Shenqiu, and Metagross They looked at each other and immediately left.

Then, Daigo, who just happened to come out, witnessed the "rain" of sand brought about by this beautiful and dangerous "hot sand hell" for the first time.
