Pokémon: Yunxiao

Time flies, and soon it was three days later. Xiaoyao successfully obtained her fifth ribbon badge in Priga City on Izabe Island, and successfully qualified to participate in the grand celebration of the gorgeous competition.

"Sister has become like Xiaozhi."

Looking at Xiaoyao in front of him who was humming a song and constantly checking the five ribbon badges she had obtained, Xiaosheng said in surprise that this was exactly the same as Xiaozhi three days ago.

"Really? How could I be like this?"

Xiaozhi, who was walking next to Xiaosheng, looked at Xiaoyao curiously with his hands on his hips. Did he behave like this?

"It can't be helped. After all, I have already collected all five ribbon badges for the grand celebration. It's inevitable that I'm happy."

Xiaogang followed behind the crowd and expressed his understanding when he saw Xiaoyao's expression.

"I'm so envious. You've already collected all the badges, but I'm still one short. Right, Yun Xiao?"

Xiaozhi looked at Xiaoyao with some envy, and then asked Yunxiao.

"Huh? Yes!"

Yun Xiao, who was teasing the stingtail insect with a branch behind him, was startled. He quickly stood up and hid the branch behind him, nodding in response.

[It was a close call. My special hobby was almost discovered. 】

After wiping off the non-existent sweat, Yun Xiao followed the crowd.

"Xiao Gang, where are we now?"

After Xiaogang joined, Xiaosheng gave the task of checking the map to Xiaogang. Now in an unfamiliar environment, Xiaosheng asked curiously.

"Let me see. Hmm. This is the Valley of Destruction on Izabel Island."

Xiaogang checked the navigation system and said the name of the place.

"The Valley of Destruction?"

Xiaozhi looked at Xiaogang curiously, not understanding why this place was called this name.

"ah!"

Just then, Xiaoyao's shouting was heard from the front, and Yun Xiao and others ran over immediately.

"What's wrong, Xiaoyao?"

Yun Xiao and others ran behind Xiaoyao and found that Xiaoyao was looking at the top of the cliff with a look of surprise.

"Look there."

Xiaoyao pointed upwards happily and saw a huge stone Poké Ball on the cliff.

Uh…no, if you’re happy, why would you cry so miserably?

Everyone looked at Xiaoyao in silence, and then looked at the stone Poké Ball on the cliff.

"It's so big, is this a decoration?"

Xiaosheng looked at the huge stone Poké Ball in admiration, wondering who on earth made it.

"But why is it placed on the top of the mountain?"

Xiaogang became curious about the origin of this stone Poké Ball.

"Do you want to know? I can tell you when I have time."

A voice came from behind the crowd, startling everyone, and an old man with a white goatee walked out of the fog.

"Grandpa, who are you?"

Yun Xiao asked the old man curiously how there could be people living in such a desolate mountain area.

"I am the sage of this island, Elder Shigemori."

Shigemori tapped the stick in his hand and looked at everyone with a serious face.

"The sage of the island, old man Shigemori?"

Xiaozhi repeated Shigemori's words curiously, and in his heart he was still wondering if this person could be a new Pokémon?

"It looks like a rock, but it's not a rock. It's an authentic Poké Ball. Its origin is recorded in detail in the legend of the Valley of Destruction that has been passed down on the island since ancient times."

Shigemori explained the stone Poké Ball to everyone, and it was obvious that Shigemori knew something about the things on this island.

"I didn't expect this to be a Poké Ball?"

Looking at the huge Poké Ball on the cliff, Yun Xiao still found it hard to believe. What kind of miraculous skills did this person have to be able to make a Poké Ball out of stone?

"Well, do you want to hear the legend of the Valley of Destruction?"

Old man Chongsheng looked at everyone with a serious face, and everyone swallowed and nodded.

"Well then... buy as many of these Poké Ball buns and Valley of Destruction senbei as you like."

Shigemori produced the Poké Ball Bun and the Valley of Destruction Senbei as if by magic and looked at everyone with a smile on his face, causing the originally nervous crowd to fall down helplessly.

"So you sell local products."

Xiaozhi looked at Shigemori speechlessly. He thought Shigemori was a new Pokémon.

"Ahaha, besides being a sage, I am also the tour guide of this island. But what I say will never be false."

Shigemori explained to everyone with a smile, then changed his face to a serious one and looked at everyone.

Looking at Chongsheng's expression changing so quickly, Yun Xiao couldn't help but secretly complain, "Don't you need beans to change your face?"

"Why? Because everything is written in this great ancient book handed down from ancient times."

After calming down for a while, Shigemori took out an ancient document and showed it to everyone.

"Oh!"

Everyone cooperated with the old man's performance and showed an expression of "so that's how it is".

"In ancient times, a powerful force was sealed inside that Poké Ball."

Seemingly satisfied with everyone's expressions, Shigemori continued to explain to everyone.

Yun Xiao paid out of his own pocket to buy the local specialties, Poké Ball buns and Valley of Destruction senbei, given by Chongsheng. Everyone spread out a long cloth and sat on the ground, listening to Chongsheng's explanation.

"A tremendous strength?"

While eating a Poké Ball bun, Xiaoyao asked what Shigemori's powerful strength meant.

"That sounds scary."

Xiaosheng, who was only seven years old, seemed to have some respect for the unknown power.

"But now there is nothing in it, because an evil person once released that power."

Shigemori frowned when he mentioned the evil man.

"And then? What was the result?"

Xiaozhi, who wanted to know what happened next, asked immediately.

"The powerful force that was unsealed destroyed everything it could. It kept wreaking havoc for seven days and seven nights. Just when people thought the world might be destroyed, the white sage appeared from nowhere! The sage summoned a new rock Poké Ball from an incredible space and sealed the powerful force in the lake near this valley."

Shigemori closed his eyes tightly and explained to everyone affectionately where the powerful force was now.

"This is not an ordinary legend, it is a fact. There are relics that prove this fact. Do you want to see it?"

Chongsheng was afraid that everyone wouldn't believe it, so he emphasized it again.

"think."

Everyone nodded quickly. They were very curious about what this powerful force was.

"Do you want to sign up for the Great Legend Pilgrimage?"

Shigemori raised his right hand.

"I want!"

Everyone replied in unison, wanting to see the true appearance of this ancient relic.

"Okay, then I will take you to the lake where the sage sealed away his powerful power."

The sage stood up and prepared to lead the way.

"But... as long as you buy local specialties, it's fine!"

Everyone was about to get up but seeing Chongsheng's look, they fell down again. The Valley of Destruction senbei and the Poké Ball buns were indeed delicious, so Yun Xiao bought them all at once and gave them to everyone as snacks on the road, and also sent some back to his sister.

After counting the money, Chongsheng was satisfied and happily led everyone towards the ruins.

What everyone was unaware of was that behind them, there were five mysterious figures following, and at this moment, they had a sinister smile on their faces.
