Chapter 23 Passers-by
"Then ~ Xingchen, why are you pursuing this power~"
"It's not that I yearn for strength to pursue strength." A trace of confusion flashed in my starry eyes, "It's just that when I come to my senses, I'm already nothing. The so-called power is just because I don't want to lose the only proof of my existence and the last habit I have retained..."
"But~ but that's it~" The girl's stubborn face was very thoughtful and wanted to refute something, "I still think Xingchen is an amazing trainer!"
"Eh?" The boy showed a rare look of surprise and looked at Xiaoxia blankly.
"Although I haven't experienced it myself, it seems to me that it is a great thing to be favored by divine beasts." Xiaoxia exclaimed, "My mother once told me that there are not a few trainers who have strength but fight for their own private life, but only those who can control their strength and maintain their true hearts are great trainers." The admiration in the girl's eyes was clear, and her clear eyes were hidden with unknown light, both longing and as if they were longing.
"Haha, is that right~" Xingchen smiled slightly, feeling a little embarrassed, "It's a rare one, and I'm praised~"
"Huh?" Xiaoxia, who was still nervous just now and secretly regretted her impulse, was shocked again, "No one has ever praised you?"
"...... Maybe it's because I've always been alone before, so I haven't had any in-depth contact with anyone other than my family," Xingchen said sadly, "In the past, as a barrier to Fangyuan, I had only practiced every day and night, but I didn't have much to lure my time..."
It turned out that he would also have negative emotions... The God-Director who had been intimate and indifferent in the eyes of everyone showed other feelings in front of the girl's eyes for the first time, but this did not disappoint Xiaoxia at all. In other words, it was precisely this that the boy in front of him was more realistic and clearer than an ordinary person.
At this time, Xiaoxia really couldn't say any words of comfort, without even thinking about the Quartz Championship League that day
"I didn't even have time to feel sad about myself, so I kept walking and heading towards what you think is the path of a strong man."
"The strong are made up of loneliness and loneliness. There is no excitement or happiness in this process. When you stand at that peak, you will find that there is nothing on it, and all you have is the bone-bone loneliness."
"Xingchen, don't you feel lonely?" Xiaoxia asked unconsciously.
...
"Not before, but now there are some..."
"?" Xiaoxia was shocked.
"Loneliness...is the emotion of the creatures since the ethnic group is isolated," the boy said lightly, "In the past, they always fought alone, so there was no solitude."
"But because I have been no longer alone in the past few years, the faint feeling has become stronger and stronger. "The stars gently caress the chest, and what is beating there is an existence called the 'heart'. "Or that loneliness is not an innate nature, but a feeling that you will only have when one day you are not alone..."
Xingchen seemed to feel a little tired, so he lay down by himself, slowly closed his eyes, and took a nap.
"~" Xiaoxia sighed lightly, then sat quietly, still playing with Pokeby in her arms.
=============================
In the afternoon, most of the work was almost completed, and Xiaogang and Xiaozhi also returned to the house, but Momi was nowhere to be seen.
"Huh? Sister Momei hasn't come back yet?" Xianglian asked curiously.
"Don't you know where the guest went?" Xianglian's mother said worriedly, "I remember she was with you?"
"That, Pi White and I trained for a while in the afternoon... So, Xianglian lowered her head embarrassedly,
"But the superbats have all returned, and they have not found Miss Momei~" Xiaogang thought, rubbing his chin,
"Can it be..." Xianglian's mother's face became worse and worse.
"Can you tell me what the situation is?" Xingchen frowned. It is not a trivial matter for his companion to disappear. Especially for his companion who is very important.
"There is a foggy forest nearby. Because the area is not big or small, it is not recorded on the city map." Xianglian's mother briefly introduced,
"Isn't the Mist Forest very far away from here?" Xiaoxia recalled, how could she not remember the road she had just walked not long ago?
"It's not the same place." Listening to my mother's narration, Xianglian couldn't help but worry, "That fog forest, mother, mother never let me go..."
"There was once a very powerful elf sealed in that place," Xianglian's mother continued, "It is said that it was the elves who caused trouble for a long time ago. Because they were unable to surrender and destroyed them everywhere, they caused serious damage to the city. In the end, the ancient city lords conquered it with all their might. {."
"What's the result..." Xiaozhi swallowed and hugged Pikachu tightly.
"All the city lord's soldiers disappeared in the forest, and the elf disappeared from now on."
"That should have been attacked," Xiaogang concluded.
"But how could Momi enter that forest?" Xiaoxia asked in confusion. Momi is definitely a trainer who knows how to advance and retreat in everyone's eyes. He should not take the initiative to take the initiative to have such a dangerous place ahead.
"There are some psychedelic gases on the outer edge of the Mist Forest, which will unconsciously affect people's five senses and thus mislead people..."
"Ba~" Xingchen stood up and walked out,
"Xingchen, I'll go with you~" Xiaozhi grabbed his backpack and wanted to keep up,
"You stay here and go to Huipi Town first. If we have not arrived yet, you can be considered insiders."
"But~" Xiaoxia was about to continue to persuade her, but was pulled by Xiaogang. "We insisted on going but it was just a drag. We can help a little bit when we reach Huipi Town as soon as possible."
Having said this, Xiaozhi and others did not continue to entangle. After saying goodbye to Xianglian and her daughter, they stood up and left.
"Chi~" The white figure carried the boy quickly to Wusen not far away. Although he could clearly feel Momi's condition, he would never feel at ease if he could not confirm with his own eyes.
Must catch up...
===========================
In the deep cave, darkness swallows all the light. Silence can no longer describe such an environment. Perhaps the word "dead and quiet" is more appropriate.
'hiss'
A pair of unsightly eyes opened, and the bloodshots were faintly visible.
"Shello~" the sound of chain chains sounded, and its strength almost made people mistakenly think that the cave would collapse because of this, but fortunately, the time did not last long.
As several stones shattered, the ferocious beast seemed to be tired or tired, and stopped moving. The eyes full of murderous intent also closed again and returned to calm.
Somewhere unknown outside the cave,
Momi looked around with Liuwei in her arms. She just wanted to take a walk and came here unknowingly. What was going on?
It was approaching evening. Although the sunlight was not very strong, it should have a certain degree. However, this dense forest seemed to be covered with a layer of thick fog, with a visibility of almost zero.
This dense forest is very strange. Now the only elves that can be confirmed are big-mouthed bats and dark crows. Even the trees grow like human faces, which makes people feel strange.
"Picosi, mysterious talisman~" Momei threw out the elf ball,
"Pie~" Pi Kexi shook his fingers gently, creating a curtain that blocked the outside, bounced away countless big-mouthed bats.
"Guji~" Several larger-sized big-mouthed bats did not leave, but wandered above, obviously not planning to let go of the 'prey'.
"Hypnosis~" Momei ordered decisively,
"Dala~" Pikasi moved his hands together, constantly creating strange fluctuations, shooting down big-mouthed bats.
Momi, who knocked most of the big-mouthed bats, did not relax at this time, and put his arms lightly.
"Huh~" a large piece of flames scattered, and a stunning flaming horse appeared beside Pikosi.
"Bang~" The unknown elf fell down with charred body,
"Huh~" Momi finally relaxed. She felt like she was being peeped at just now, so she deliberately kept her hands. It seemed that nothing was wrong.
"Bao~" Momei walked forward carefully,
A dark crow was lying on the ground with circles of eyes, and it seemed that he had lost his combat ability...
As far as the result is concerned, if Xiaozhi had entered the Forest of Mist, he would probably have...
Perhaps because the Kanto champion is too famous, many people deliberately ignore Momi's combat effectiveness. It's not that Momi's combat effectiveness has reached a very strong level, but it is still no problem to participate in the league competition to get a ranking.
"Sher~" the sound of footsteps made Momi's body tense,
"Shou..." Liuwei also opened his eyes wide at this time. If this big sister had any accidents... Liuwei, as a foodie, will find it difficult to have a good life in the future.
"Sher~" The footsteps became closer and closer, and the outline of the black shadow could even be clearly identified.
"Sher~" The footsteps stopped, and the young man in a black jacket stood quietly in front of Momi, with black hair and black eyes, but the first feeling made Momi a little familiar.
This feeling is? Stars?
Could it be the relative of Xingchen?
This was Momi's first feeling, but she was denied immediately. After traveling for a long time, she was not unfamiliar with Xingchen's relatives. She even had a lot of contact with Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng, and had never heard of such a person.
While Momi looked at the other person, the young man in front of him was naturally doing the same thing.
I don’t deny that the current women are very beautiful, with purple and waist-length hair and white short skirt revealing a fresh and fragrant atmosphere. Even if you have seen all the people, you can’t tell the shortcomings of this woman. Looking at the two elves, they have good combat power for ordinary people. However...
"Have you ever seen a woman named 'Fia'?" the young man said, with no fluctuations in his expression.
"I just entered here and haven't seen anyone," Momi said lightly. It's hard for Momi to have emotional changes for anyone outside the stars.
"..." The young man stopped talking and did not doubt that Momi had concealed anything.
"Hu~" Just as Momei thought the other party was about to leave, the young man stopped again and turned around.
“Come out…”
Momi frowned, not very much understanding of the other person's meaning. Although she only knew at first glance that the other person was not an ordinary trainer, what did he mean?
The scene immediately was the answer. The space in front of Momei was torn apart, and colorful wings illuminated the surroundings.
"Phoenix King?" Even Momei was shocked. How could it be here...
No wonder Momei was strange. After the surprise attack on Uzumaki Island, the Star Transformation separated the important task of protecting several people from the first-level god in his hands, and protected one-on-one. Once the other party’s emotional fluctuations were sensed, it would go directly to the destination from the spatial singularity created by Paluchia. It was to prevent the situation that he could not estimate, and it seemed that it was finally effective.
The hurricane broke out, and the phoenix king and the young man looked at each other for a long time.
"Are you his elf?" Although it was a question, the young man described it in a positive tone.
The Fengwang did not give any answer, but just looked at the man in front of him with caution.
"You are not Arceus, so without him by your side, you can't beat me," said the young man lightly.
"Chi~" The phoenix king stretched out his wings, and the sacred flames burned wildly,
"Don't intimidate me, it's meaningless." The young man was calm, "But I'm not here to fight today, tell him. I'm also interested in that silver conference. Then I'll get a good deal..."
"Chi~" The young man left his words and walked into the depths of the fog forest, not stopping.
