[Pokemon] Late Autumn

Miqiu and Asha looked around curiously while following Qianxiang. No matter what angle they looked at, the cave where the Meteor Falls was located was astonishingly beautiful.

Qianxiang led the two of them to the cabin next to the waterfall. She smiled and said hello to the several mini dragons around her. She asked Sun Eevee to take good care of the baby dragon queen, and then poured elf food for the several green sheep birds at home.

Seeing the elves jumping for joy, she relaxed a little, poured three glasses of water, sat down, and chatted with Shen Qiu and the others.

"Very few outsiders know about the 'Meteor People'... In this case, you must also be very familiar with the history here."

"Know a thing or two."

Yasha glanced at Shen Qiu, shook her head slightly, and answered the question for Shen Qiu.

"Our ancestors have lived near this area since ancient times, but now, most of the people have moved to nearby towns. Only my grandma and I live here. Grandma prefers to fight, so she always I can bask in the sun or fight with trainers who pass by - although not many people pass by here."

"Sun...sun?"

"it's here?"

Late Qiu and Yasha looked at each other in surprise.

"Yeah. In fact, the road you came in is relatively remote... We usually go out by another road." Qianxiang explained with a smile, pointing to the back of the cabin.

Sure enough, there was a cave not far away, which was another hidden path.

It turned out to be the case.

Miqiu glanced at Taiyang Eevee next to Qianxiang calmly.

She was a little surprised before. If they had been living here, Qianxiang's Eevee would be more likely to evolve into Moon Eevee, but if that was the case, it would make sense.

"Speaking of which, there are many dragon elves here, and they all look happy." Asha said with emotion.

Perhaps because the water source is here, a large number of elves gather here to play. In addition to the Baby Dragon and Hackosaurus family just now, the rarely seen Single-headed Dragon and Round Land Shark even appeared in the surrounding caves.

The speaker has no intention but the listener has the intention. Hearing the words in late autumn, he was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes slightly, and began to think about himself.

She did care a little about this.

The "People of the Meteor" have an inseparable relationship with Rayquaza in legend. Now when you walk into the Meteor Falls and take a closer look, you will see that dragon elves here do account for a considerable proportion.

Plus Mr. Shaka's views on this place...

There are so many dragon elves here that I am afraid it cannot be explained by coincidence.

Taking a closer look, Mr. Shaka... no, it should be the hometown of dragons, and the "People of the Meteor" here——

Maybe there is some kind of connection?

Thinking of this, Shen Qiu's always unswerving gaze showed a trace of confusion at this moment.

"...To be honest, I do have a little question that I would like to ask."

"Please say."

Late Qiu raised his eyes and looked at the gentle and quiet Qianxiang next to him. Somehow, he spontaneously had an idea that he wanted to pour out everything.

"I... come from the hometown of Dragon, located in the somewhat distant Hezhu region. However, although I have always regarded it as my hometown... in fact, it is just because my memory starts from there."

If, if there really is some kind of "connection"...does that mean that she can...

Miu Qiu closed her eyes and poured out all her hesitations and confusions to Qianxiang, eager to get a positive answer from the other party.

"Dragon...'s hometown?" Qianxiang roughly understood what Shenqiu meant, but she frowned in distress.

She tried hard to recall whether this strange place had ever appeared in her mind. However, after a long time, the witch of the Meteor People could only shake her head apologetically and regretfully, and even the smile on her lips dimmed a bit. .

"I'm sorry, but I really haven't heard of this place. It sounds like there are many dragon elves living there... I think it must be very beautiful there."

……

The air seemed to freeze immediately. Even Qianxiang realized that something was wrong and quickly added, "Don't worry, when grandma comes back, I, I will definitely ask her!"

Late Qiu lowered his eyes and pursed his lips in silence.

Asha noticed that something was wrong with Mingqiu's state, so she whispered a few words to Qianxiang. Qianxiang also quickly understood what Asha meant. After giving Miqiu a worried look, she gently opened the door and walked out of the cabin, leaving the space here to the two of them.

"I see that you are in a low mood." Yasha handed the water glass over, comforting the disappointed late Qiu, "The journey ahead is still very long, so there is no need to rush."

Yasha, who used to be as dazzling as fire, now also slowed down her tone and cared considerately for her friends beside her.

She never imagined that one day she would travel with such a challenger who suddenly broke her peaceful gym life, and they would gradually become like a sister.

Although he is so much younger than her, it seems to contain some huge secrets, and his past experiences are like puzzles, which unconsciously arouses her curiosity.

"I just...thought I found a clue."

Late Qiu curled up his fingers several times and then opened them. Finally, he gently held the water glass and drank it in one gulp.

It was supposed to be a complete piece of the puzzle, but every detail of the colorful picture was deliberately erased, leaving a large, suffocating blank space. And this small piece of the puzzle was finally found. Even if there was no way to start, Shenqiu was not willing to give up.

"Actually, I had the same idea as you at the beginning...especially when Heiluga acted strangely towards the scent of that guard." Yasha also sighed and told Shenqiu her true thoughts.

Hei Lujia leaned next to Shen Qiu and nodded slightly when he heard the words.

Late Qiu reluctantly raised his head and counted them one by one on his fingers: "Right! Heiluga also feels that this scent is very familiar! And Yasha, look, there are so many dragon elves in these two places, even Xia Mr. Jia seems to know this place very well, so there must be something..."

However, she suddenly remembered Qianxiang's confused look just now.

All the strength accumulated in his body was relieved all of a sudden, and the thoughts he finally found were lost again.

Why is this happening... She secretly clenched her fists.

"Maybe this is just a coincidence. It doesn't matter. If you continue traveling, you will definitely gain new things."

Looking at the worried Asha in front of her, Late Qiu let out an almost inaudible sigh and held the hand handed over by Asha.

Yasha pulled Shen Qiu up and changed the topic directly: "Okay, okay, don't think about this. The scenery here is so beautiful, why don't we let all the elves out and let's do some activities together?"

"That's right." Late Qiu put those irritating things behind him, "There happens to be water here. I think it's suitable for special training."

She rubbed her face and walked directly out the door, leaving Asha stunned in place by this unexpected turn of events.

...? Why did you suddenly start special training? Asha was confused.

But noticing the slightly raised corners of Ming Qiu's mouth, Yasha had no choice but to chase after her and let her do it.

"Young Tooth Dragon, Lucario, Stupid Fish, Big Jaw Ant——"

Standing by the pool below the waterfall in late autumn, a burst of red light flashed, releasing all his elves.

"...Late autumn."

Lucario could clearly feel the drastic changes in the waveguide on Shen Qiu's body even in the Poké Ball, and he helped Shen Qiu's shoulders as soon as he came out.

The wave guide was warm and calm but mixed with depression and anxiety, with eyes full of comfort and worry... Seeing Lucario being affected by his own fluctuating emotions again, Shen Qiu unconsciously felt a little guilty: "Sorry, I made you worry again. .”

"..." Hearing this, even Lucario couldn't help but hit Shenqiu on the head.

Late Qiu's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Such words..." Lucario's bright red eyes narrowed slightly, "Even I don't want to hear it again."

"We are companions."

Under Shen Qiu's surprised gaze, Lucario placed his palm on the back of Shen Qiu's hand, letting the other person feel his warm waveguide.

"Kiba!" Young Tooth Dragon also shouted, hugging Shen Qiu's calf tightly.

Heiluga and Big-jawed Ant also came close to Shen Qiu, and the stupid fish in the pool could only express its mood by jumping back and forth out of the water. The splashing water made Shen Qiu's eyes soften.

"I know, you are here."

She finally stretched her eyebrows and broke into a shallow smile.

Under Yasha's surprised gaze, Shenqiu took off her coat and shoes, and put the hat on Heiluga's head, "I'm going to stay in the pool for a while, Benbenyu will come with me."

"Late Qiu, you..." Yasha hesitated.

"It's okay, I know it."

Heiluga's eyes were full of disapproval, but seeing that Shen Qiu had made up his mind, he could only helplessly hit Shen Qiu's leg with his tail.

"You are really..." Yasha had no choice but to tell her to pay attention to her safety.

Shen Qiu and the other four elves explained what they needed to practice, and then jumped directly into the pool. The stupid fish quickly waggled its tail to follow Shen Qiu. In the blink of an eye, one person and one elf disappeared into the depths of the pool.

Qianxiang noticed the movement here in the distance. She was afraid that it would be dangerous to be alone in Late Qiu, so she quickly asked Ha Kelong to follow quietly.

Heiluga knew there was no point in waiting, so he called Lucario and went to fight in the open space next to him. The young tooth dragon and the mandible ant followed the same example, and they chatted together for a long time before looking for another place. Practice your own moves.

Asha's own elves didn't like water. After she released them, she simply ignored them and let them play by themselves. She herself sat on the corridor outside the wooden house, propped up her chin with her arms, and carefully observed the two elves in the late autumn. Two versus two.

Watching them fight, it doesn't look like training at all, but more like a real confrontation in some kind of competition.

The young toothed dragon's powerful claws swung directly at the head of the giant jaw ant without mercy at all, and the giant jawed ant immediately responded with a rockfall, blocking the opponent's attack while also directly lifting up under the young toothed dragon's head. It rained rocks.

Under the intensive attack, the young tooth dragon's claws were still like arms and fingers. It simply and roughly split the rock directly in front of it. It is not difficult to see that its small body contains great power.

And the other side is also very, very intense. Heiluga's jet flames and Lucario's cannon faced each other head-on. The aftermath of the explosion caused both elves to retreat slightly.

At this moment, Yasha suddenly had an idea.

"Heiluga, Lucario, I'm sorry to interrupt you." Asha walked up, called her elf, and smiled slightly, "I have an idea, maybe you will be interested."

Below the pool, Late Qiu closed her eyes and held her breath, completely relaxing her body in the water. The stupid fish swam quickly next to her, spraying out a water gun from time to time, deliberately disrupting the direction of the water flow around Late Autumn.

This would not disturb Late Qiu's enjoyment of the tranquility at this time. She knew that Benbenyu was expressing his closeness to her.

But she suddenly felt something touching her back. She opened her eyes and looked back. An elegant dragon-shaped elf was looking at her quietly.

It's the Hakron.

"It's not a good place to stay for a long time."

The elegant and beautiful female voice suddenly entered Shen Qiu's mind, which shocked Shen Qiu. She looked left and right and found that the source of the sound could only be the Hackron in front of her, but she calmed down.

She tried to respond to Hackron's words in her mind like she was communicating with Lucario: "Thank you for your concern, but I just stayed in the water for a little while, and I'll be fine."

Hackron looked at her, but shook his head: "Humans can't breathe in the water, how can they be okay?"

After saying that, Hackron rolled his tail and tried to swim up with Midiu Qiu.

Shen Qiu sighed silently in her heart, knowing that she couldn't resist Hackron who was kind enough to help her, so she had no choice but to politely thank her: "In that case, thank you for taking me up there."

"No need to say thank you, you have an aura that is familiar to me... you are not a foreigner."

……

Wait...what did she say? !
