Chapter 790
Chapter 790
A pink rabbit was the bravest. It jumped lightly, landed on Aglaya's shoulder, and rubbed her cheek with its furry head.
Aglaya's body stiffened slightly, then relaxed, and he raised his hand and carefully touched the rabbit's back.
"It seems that they like you very much."
Aglaia lowered her head to sense the pink rabbit on her shoulder, and also to sense the Pokémon around her who were looking at them curiously.
The golden light just now was her ability, and golden threads covered the ground and the air.
Aglaya senses everything around her through the golden thread.
But this time it was different. Unlike in Omphalos, the golden thread could only be activated in Ohma.
Now Aglaya can use it at will.
It was like escaping from the prison that confined her.
Aglaya said nothing, but let the golden thread continue to extend until it touched the stream at the end of the grassland.
The coolness of the stream, the sharp edges of the pebbles, and even the fish swimming at the bottom of the water were all clearly reflected in her perception.
"Here, I feel... very free." Aglaya said softly.
The shackles that bound her, the invisible forces that made it impossible for her to move in Omfalos, seemed to shatter quietly the moment she set foot on Liuguang Island.
The pink rabbit suddenly jumped off her shoulder and pulled the hem of her skirt towards the forest with its claws.
Aglaya followed its pull. Perhaps it was the message conveyed by the golden thread that reassured her, or perhaps the rabbit's pull held unspoken kindness.
"We follow it."
Perhaps it was the message conveyed by the golden thread that made her feel at ease, or perhaps it was the kindness hidden in the rabbit's pull that needed no words.
When everyone heard what Aglaya said, they followed Aglaya.
Aglaya seemed to know where the rabbit was taking her.
After walking for a while, the woods ahead suddenly became sparse, and sunlight shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
After a few more steps, they walked out of the forest, and the scene before them made everyone hold their breath.
What comes into view is a small town.
Wooden houses are arranged in an orderly manner on the edge of the grassland, with blue tiled roofs.
There are wind chimes hanging in front of every household’s door, which make crisp sounds when the wind blows. If you look closely, you will find that the wind chimes are made of feathers and shells.
The townspeople were wearing light-colored clothes and were sitting on a bench at the door chatting, with a few Pokémon lying around them.
"It turns out there are still people living on Liuguang Island." Lin Yu watched a little girl tiptoe and put a wreath of wild flowers on a fox, and couldn't help but sigh, "They and Pokémon... are like a family."
The pink rabbit was still pulling Aglaya's skirt and running towards the center of the town.
There was a circular square with a fountain in the center. A group of transparent fish swam in the fountain, and when their tails swayed, they cast golden light.
At this time, several residents saw them and showed friendly smiles on their faces. One of them, a sister wearing an apron, waved.
"Are you a new guest? Come over and rest your feet. The freshly baked starberry pie is still hot!"
Aglaya's golden threads spread gently across the square, sensing the breath of the residents.
There is no foul air, no tense vigilance, only a peace as warm as the sunshine on Liuguang Island.
She stopped and watched the rabbit jump into the arms of a little boy. The little boy smiled and scratched its chin, calling "Rongrong", obviously knowing it.
The wind chimes in the square began to ring again, mixed with the chirping of Pokémon and the laughter of the residents.
Aglaya took a step forward. This time, she no longer relied on the guidance of the golden thread, but on the increasingly clear perception in her heart.
"Be careful." Tibao held her shoulders.
"Hello, what are these animals?" Walter stepped forward and asked the sister of the roasted star coal pie.
"They're called Pokémon." The elder sister wiped her hands, picked up a piece of starberry pie and handed it to Walter. "They are the natives of Liuguang Island. We have grown up with them since we were young." She touched Rongrong's head. "Ruffed-eared rabbits like Rongrong are the best at finding people. And the fish in the pond over there can glow in the dark and help us light the way home."
"They seem to be born to be close to humans." Lin Yu walked over and watched a fox jump onto the wooden rack, roll up a piece of starberry pie with its tail, and carefully place it in front of Aglaya, as if giving a gift.
"What's that thing around your waist?" Saifei'er's eyes were drawn to something hanging from her sister's apron. It was a small red and white ball, smooth and streaked with silver lines, like a carefully polished candy. She leaned over, her fingers tempted to touch it, but fearing impoliteness, she could only blink curiously and ask.
"This?" My sister smiled and took off the small ball from her waist and held it in her palm.
The sphere was not big, just big enough to be wrapped in her palm. It had a red and white shell, and the silver button in the middle looked like a round eye.
As soon as Lin Yu's eyes fell on the sphere, his pupils shrank suddenly.
Red and white color scheme, palm-sized size, and the iconic circle in the middle...
"No way..." He murmured subconsciously, his heart pounding as if it was hit by something.
The shape and color scheme are exactly the same as the Poké Ball in the Pokémon game he played before he traveled through time!
"This is a Poké Ball. It can hold these Pokémon and let them rest inside."
My sister gently pressed the button in the middle, and the sphere suddenly made a light "click" sound. A small display screen popped up on the top, with a string of green numbers jumping on it.
"There's a simulated grassland environment inside. When Pokémon get tired, they go in and take a nap. When they want to come out, they just press a button. It's very convenient."
As she spoke, she whistled lightly.
Rongrong, who had been lying at her feet, immediately ran over and rubbed his head against her palm.
The sister smiled and waved the Poké Ball in front of Rongrong. The ball instantly became a little bigger, and a red light popped out of the opening at the top, gently wrapping Rongrong.
A red light flashed, and Rongrong's figure disappeared into the ball. The Poké Ball shook slightly, making a soft "ding" sound, and returned to the size of a palm.
Lin Yu listened to her explanation and watched the familiar controls, his mind buzzing. Wasn't this one of his favorite games before he traveled through time? He'd come home from school clutching his console, spending entire afternoons in the bushes trying to catch a shiny Pokémon. Even in his dreams, he'd keep saying, "It's you."
He never imagined that those Poké Balls that only existed on the screen actually existed on a planet.
"Won't it be stuffy in there?" Aglaya's fingertips gently touched the Poké Ball in her sister's hand, and she could sense a faint, comfortable heartbeat coming from inside.
"It will not happen."
Her sister handed the Poké Ball to her and said, "Feel it and see if it's warm. The environment inside is the same as the grassland outside."
As Aglaya just touched the sphere, the Poké Ball suddenly made another "ding" sound, and the red light popped out again, and the fluffy figure fell steadily into her arms.
"See, it figured it out on its own," she said with a smile. "The Poké Ball is just a little nest for resting. If Pokémon don't want to go in, no one can force them."
Sanyueqi couldn't hold back any longer, "Can I try? I want to see what it's like when the fish over there go in!"
Her sister handed her another blue Poké Ball and said, "This one is for water-types. Ask the Glitterfish if it wants one."
Lin Yu stood aside and watched March 7 excitedly holding up the Poké Ball.
"The children here sign contracts with Pokémon from a young age."
The elder sister looked at them, her eyes full of tenderness. "They are not master and pet, but friends who grew up together. When they grow up, they will bring Poké Balls and explore every corner of Liuguang Island with Pokémon."
Lin Yu looked down at the palm of his hand and suddenly understood why Liuguang Island made people feel warm.
The Poké Ball here is not for "capture"
But "accompany"
The Pokémon here are not "props"
But "family"
