Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 416 Travel 4

Hearing Shota's answer, Gardevoir hummed happily, then lay carefree in Shota's arms, enjoying the comfortable feeling of the gentle sunlight shining on her body.

Looking at Gardevoir lying in his arms with a happy smile on her face, Shota remembered what happened last night.

At the last step, facing Gardevoir's fiery gaze and looking at her exquisite body, he suddenly hesitated for some reason.

It was as if there was a voice telling me not to do this.

Following his inner will, he stopped the last step and hugged Gardevoir's trembling body in his arms.

But Gardevoir mistakenly thought that he was worried about her and did it on purpose, so he didn't say anything and just lay quietly in his arms.

Do I really love her?

This was the first thought and the first question that flashed through my mind last night.

I think it is love, because I have come this far not only for the so-called eternal life, but also for Gardevoir's smile to bloom before my eyes.

Just like a passage from my previous life:

I have never been so deeply aware that compared with the various pains of life, what blinds people is love. We need to fill our own humanity, like a tangle of hemp blocking the chimney of the machine. Someone always needs to be that void, someone always needs to face nothingness.

I have seen beauty that you humans cannot imagine. I have seen spaceships burn on the edge of Orion. I have watched black holes tear apart photons. I have seen dead stars strip away the colors of thousands of planets.

But all these unforgettable beautiful scenes are not as joyful as the moment I saw your face for the first time at the door.

Even if I meet so many people

It's not as good as your first time.

My feelings towards Gardevoir are pretty much the same.

Compared to immortality, in fact, everything is for Gardevoir to be by his side, and immortality is just an add-on on this snowy road.

Then why didn’t we break through that last step in the end?

Maybe I yearn for spiritual love more.

Compared to the body, the spirit seems to be more sacred, able to transcend biological instincts, transcend worldly vision, and reach a level where you are in me and I am in you.

However, if we look at it from another perspective, the end result seems to be that we are loving ourselves in the mirror.

However, I have never realized so deeply that if I lose you, I will also lose the meaning of existence.

The biological instinct is to drive people to live, but your departure has freed me from the biological instinct and made me choose to resolutely move towards death.

And right now, I love you more than I ever thought possible.

Perhaps this idea is too extreme, but love is so abstract and there is no reason at all.

In this regard, we can only say that different people have different opinions.

Now for Shota, Gardevoir is the meaning of his existence in this world, it is his entire world.

Thinking of this, Shota looked down at Gardevoir who was enjoying the sun bath with her eyes closed, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Shota, I feel that you are very happy now, is it because of me?"

Gardevoir opened her eyes, her ruby ​​eyes staring straight at Shota, waiting for his answer.

Shota didn't say much and gently stroked Gardevoir's cheek with his hand.

Feeling Shota's warm big hand, Gardevoir also smiled and closed her eyes happily.

Everything is left unsaid.

After flying for a while, Shota heard a rustling sound coming from the front. The sound was very loud and did not sound like the sound of wind blowing.

With the perception of his super powers, Shota knew where he was.

The Desert is an area located on Route 111 in the Hoenn region.

There is no place called Desert in the game, and there will be no scene switching prompt box when entering here from Route 111, but this place does appear in the official guide.

After thinking for a moment, Shota took out a Poké Ball from his arms, and then used his super powers to communicate with the Pokémon inside.

After a while, Shota pressed the switch on the Poké Ball and threw it into the air.

After Shota threw the Poké Ball out, a huge black shadow whose height was comparable to Godzilla suddenly appeared in the desert in front of him, but his figure was soon covered by the worsening sandstorm.

"Little girl, it should be you. I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect that this guy would resurrect you.

I won’t say any more. I’m almost starving to death. I’ve been eating at that kid’s hands for so long that I have no idea where to get my next meal.

If you follow this guy, you will go hungry for nine meals in three days. I am leaving now. I wish you good luck. "

Listening to the voice that suddenly came from her head, Gardevoir felt somewhat familiar. When she was about to use telepathy to reply, there was no trace of that creature in the desert in front of her.

Gardevoir looked up at Shota with some curiosity and said:

"Shota, do I know him?"

Shota nodded, then spoke:

"You fought alongside him before, but that was in the past. If you can't remember it, forget it. Let's continue our tour."

"Hmm~"

After crossing the desert area and flying on Lugia for a while, Shota and Gardevoir arrived at Kamahene Town.

Kamahiro Town is a small town in the center of the Hoenn region. It is located at the foot of Chimney Mountain. The town is famous for its hot springs and is a town with a considerable number of elderly people. In the northeast corner of the town is the Aotoyama Pass.

Although Fuyan Town is small, the gym master here controls most of the area extending from this place.

The gym leader of Kamuen Town is named Yasha. Because the local environment shapes the local people, she is a passionate woman who is proficient in fire-attribute Pokémon.

As I said before, when I was playing the game, I kept skipping the dialog box, and based on the pixels, I thought this was a male, and a non-mainstream one at that.

In the original timeline, Asha had just become a gym leader not long ago, so she tried her best to act serious, but sometimes she would accidentally overreact.

But now, under the instigation of Shota's butterfly wings, the plot has changed slightly. Some time has passed, and her grandfather died in this Hoenn disaster.

So, in Shota's eyes, Asha has now become a mature and strong woman. Her originally unique parted hair has now become a ponytail, and her every move and gesture exudes the dignity of a gym leader.
