It took me a long time to tear my blood torn apart after the long-awaited fear.

When the girl realized that she had sat up, the scene in her sight was still the familiar green of the south, and the cold sweat had already soaked the close-fitting fabric.

There was a sense of familiarity mixed in the storm of her heart. Xiaoye knew that she had dreamed of the same scene more than once, but whenever she left the world of dreams, her memories always faded like a tide, leaving only a trace of incapable trace.

But this time it's different.

Xiaoye closed her eyes and opened her eyes hard. The unchanging picture proved that she was indeed awake, but every picture in the dream was engraved in her mind like she had just experienced it. Even the cold touch of the rain seemed to have not yet dissipated, which made the girl on a tropical island feel cold all over her body.

She lowered her head and looked at her right hand.

There were many scratches on the hands with distinct joints, which were left in intensive practical exercises. In addition, there was no stain on the surface of the skin, but Xiaoye maintained a staring posture for a long time, as if the warm blood had really splashed on his palm.

Until now, Xiaoye could finally make sure that this was not an ordinary nightmare - even if the psychological pressure brought by high-density practical training tripled, Xiaoye didn't think she would dream of the same scene for several days in a row.

Thinking of the strange phenomena that had frequently appeared on me before, a hazy guess that seemed to be unreasonable appeared in Xiaoye's heart.

She felt that there seemed to be "who" wanted to convey certain messages to her.

The suffocation brought by the dream was temporarily thrown aside by Xiaoye. She recalled every detail of the nightmare filled with black and red almost as cruel as she almost obscenely, including the appearance of the person who fell to the ground under the knife of "herself".

There is no doubt that the silver-haired boy looked very much like his friend. However, compared to Xiaotian, the man seemed to be taller and more mature in his face. As for the sword swinger, Xiaoye, could not see the appearance of "self in his dream", but the feeling of flowing when wielding his weapon can prove that he must be a person who is used to using swords.

Just like her.

Everything is interpreted too realistically. Since dreams are not dreams, then...

The slapping touch from the shoulder awakened Xiaoye from her meditation. The call came into her ears. Xiaoye raised her head and saw that Xinghai had walked in front of her at some point.

"Is it okay? Did you have a nightmare?" The young man shook his fingers in front of Xiaoye's eyes with some concern, as if confirming whether Xiaoye had come back to his senses.

"No...uh, that's right." Xiaoye blinked, "Sorry, did I wake you up?"

"No, I'm just going to sleep." Xinghai replied with a serious expression, "and then you saw you suddenly sit up, staring at your hands motionlessly, and chanting, "I can no longer suppress the power of the demon king in my body. Sure enough, this land is about to be turned into scorched earth."

Xiaoye: "…"

Xiaoye: "Really, really?"

Xinghai: "Fake."

Xiaoye: “…………”

"Mr. Xinghai, where did you see such middle-second lines?" Xiaoye pushed Xinghai's palm back with laughter and crying.

The silver-haired young man finally couldn't help laughing. He sat on the ground beside Xiaoye and said, "I suddenly miss Xiaotian's appearance when he was a child - probably when he was five years old? He once accidentally witnessed a criminal case, so he had a nightmare for a long time and was always awakened in panic. I also took a lot of photos, do you want to see it?"

Xiaoye's expression shook for a few seconds, then he shook his head firmly, "It's still not--although I'm a little curious, but I think the price of looking at the photos is to be fired from the team by the captain."

Moreover, when she thought that the father had a nightmare and had the heart to take photos, Xiaoye felt that she should give her friends sincere sympathy at this moment.

"Don't look at me like this, I'm not abused children." Xinghai read out the emotions in Xiaoye's eyes keenly, and immediately laughed, "Although every time he does this, he will be kicked out of the house by his mother."

Xiaoye: "…"

Let’s give both the father and son sincere sympathy.

"——And since then, I found that it would be much better to tell the nightmare." The young man looked at the girl with curved eyes, "Do you want to talk to me?"

"Well... I can't remember it basically." Xiaoye looked serious and meditative, "Maybe it's really a dream of 'the devil' turning the world into scorched earth'."

"...You actually used my nonsense to me, teacher, I'm so sad."

"I've really forgotten..."

Xinghai didn't mean to go deeper, and said, "I remember that Xiaotian always used to be so perfunctory. In fact, I really hope he can act coquettishly towards me...uh."

"?"

Xiaoye looked forward with Xinghai's eyes. The mentioned silver-haired boy was standing in front of him, holding a kettle in his hand, as if he wanted to drink some water during his nap. His expressionless face was filled with obscure rejection and disgust.

The search officer did not feel hurt by his son's eyes like this, and still stood up happily, "It's just right, since we're going to part, why not take a nap together today?"

The young man moved his movements around the Pokémons who were sleeping in a row and dragged his sleeping bag buried under Kuailong. Xiaotian looked at Xiaoye with an innocent face and couldn't help but shake his head, not sure what his father was thinking.

Seeing that Xinghai was already crossing the Pokémon with one sleeping bag, Xiaotian had to stop temporarily and wait for his father to arrange a "new bed".

Turning his head, he saw that Xiaoye had walked to him and was raising his hand and gestured between the two.

"Xiaotian, your height is so fast." Xiaoye tiptoed, and then he found the feeling in his memory. "I clearly remember that we were as tall as we were when we first met."

The sudden topic made Xiaotian feel a little confused, but he still corrected it seriously, "You remembered it wrongly, and I was a little taller than you at that time."

"Oh, is that..."

"Yes."

"It's so strange. It's logical that girls of our age should grow faster than boys. Xiaoling is already taller than her brother... Well? It doesn't seem strange to think about it when you change the angle..."

"...Are you thinking about something rude?"

"No, no!"

The whim of the search officer quickly dragged two sleeping bags over. The three of them lay side by side in the shade of the same big tree and said to each other "noon night".

The orange fire dragon, who was sleeping in a daze, moved in the direction of the three of them and placed a dragon claw on the trainer. As soon as it moved, Pichu on its belly rolled down, just above Xiaotian's head. After a closer look, the little guy had not woken up yet. Xiaotian didn't care much about this, and safely entered a nap with a ball of hair.

The three evil dragons in Xinghai lay at the feet of the three of them at some point, and deliberately turned their heads to the other side, as if they were just lying casually. The tall flame-breathing dragon chose the empty seat on the right side of Xinghai, as if they were like a protector. Xiaotian's Pokkigu fully utilized his ability to fly silently and quietly entered the arms of the trainer.

It is really not suitable to squeeze together in a hot summer afternoon. Fortunately, the lively snow boy actively occupied a central position, which made people sleep peacefully with the overflowing cool air.

The breathing sounds that came into the ears quickly became longer. After a while, Xiaoye gently turned his head.

The boy closed his eyes, his face that was close at hand was very calm, completely different from the blood-stained face in his memory.

Before closing her eyes and falling asleep, she repeatedly confirmed the scene in her memory.

——The dream is still firmly engraved in my mind, and there is no sign of dissipation.

After the lunch break, the trainer gave his tired partners a vacation. Finally, the Pokémons who did not need to train were rolling around on the grass, while the three trainers began to pack up their daily necessities, clean the camp, and prepare for leaving.

The sky is getting darker and the sun begins to move westward.

Before leaving, Xinghai told Xiaoye in detail everything about the white round stone and the "heart of the moon" - Xiaoye realized that Xinghai didn't want to hide anything at first, but was just a disconnection in the middle.

"You should already know that there are seven kinds of soul gems." said the silver-haired young man. "The 'leaf' and 'moon' you currently have are two of them."

"They are actually somewhat similar to the keystones required for super evolution. What drives them is not the attribute energy, but the 'will' that every living being has."

"Does will... mean spiritual power?" Xiaoye asked hesitantly.

"No, it would be more appropriate to understand the 'thoughts' or 'wishes' that influence and manipulate the power of the mind." Xinghai explained carefully, "A long time ago, this driving force was called the "power of the mind."

"That is the driving force for the soul gemstone. Just as the thoughts of humans and Pokémon act on key stones and super stones, which can trigger super evolution, mind gemstones also have their own different functions."

"Only when people's wishes happen to be 'wavelength' with the mind gems, they can be activated. According to ancient books, Ye's heart is 'connected', which can establish a telepathy channel between the owners. And the heart of the moon - meaning 'save'."

Xiaoye nodded thoughtfully. She looked at the flame-breathing dragon holding the tree fruit next to her, as if she understood something.

"Their functions are different, so the consumption of "heart power" is also different, right?" Xiaotian immediately thought of Xinghai once repeatedly emphasized that the Moon Heart should not be used excessively.

"That's right." Xinghai nodded, "Correciation can only convey ideas, and consume little on the will, but the heart of the moon is different. It can reverse the time of the living being and bring the living being back to its past state. And we all know that it has an impact on the material world in terms of time - for example, the predicted future of the superpower system has always been physically exhausting moves."

"What the mind gem requires is 'will', so you may feel distracted after use. Excessive use will cause your mind to be overdrawn and you may even never wake up after sleeping."

Xinghai lowered his eyes and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar purple-haired girl.

"Xiaoye, that's why I hope you try not to use Yuezhixin."

Xinghai’s “Farewell Lecture” didn’t take long. Seeing that the listener had indeed remembered every word and sentence in his heart, the lecturer smiled with confidence.

"It's getting late. If you want to go back to the city, it's better to set off quickly before the sun sets." said the young man.

"Yes, then I'll leave first. Thank you for your care over the past half month."

Xiaoye carried a backpack and bowed gently to the silver-haired father and son.

After saying goodbye, Xiaoye had not taken two steps before he heard a crisp reminder from his phone. She took out her phone and found that she had received a message.

[If you have any questions in training, please feel free to discuss with me - From Xiaotian]

The purple-haired girl smiled and turned around to wave to the two behind her.

"See you next day!"

As the pace moves forward, the figures of former companions gradually become blurred.

The warm sunset shines the traveler's shadow for a long time. The girl embarked on a journey of being alone again, but she had a slightly changed journey.

============================

Small theater:

It is really not suitable to squeeze together in a hot summer afternoon. Fortunately, the lively snow boy actively occupied a central position, which made people sleep peacefully with the overflowing cool air.

One hour later—

Xiaoye, who was covered in frost:...It's the same again.

Xiaotian, covered in frost:...I should have thought of it long ago.

The starry sea full of frost: Hahaha, the summer in the Orange Islands is so cold.
