Fairy trip

Qing Shan sat on the back of the fire-breathing dragon.

He was entering the Yandi Alliance from the direction of the northwest coastline - the flying speed of the big jet was not fast, and this altitude allowed Qingshan to clearly see every plant and tree on the ground.

The golden desert, the blue and white intertwined oasis, endless vitality is bred under this seemingly barren ground.

"Sleeve, we are going to the City of Hope soon."

City of Hope, this is the name that people re-named after the city of the universe was destroyed.

"Koer~"

The lake, which is as blue as the sky, enters the eye from the edge of the field of vision, almost as vast as the ocean at first glance.

With the power of Hoopa, the people of City of Hope built three huge lakes around the city, together with the oasis built with them, as the city's new water source and the rest and habitat territory of the three lake gods.

"Pfft!"

Sea stars, barracudas, small ball flying fish... It is obvious that the newly born Pokémon are playing on the lake. On the shore, Qingshan also saw a ribbed sea turtle slowly Eat the food you just caught.

The newborn cubs and the ancient life that survived by chance live in a territory at the same time.

"It seems that the ecological recovery here is very fast."

As long as they are not emotionally unstable or irritable, the legendary Pokémon will naturally attract a large number of wild Pokémon, forming a unique ecological circle near his territory.

As a member of the "culprit" of the incident that year, Sanhushen is fulfilling this responsibility in his own way, and... compensating for the mistakes he made.

"arrive."

The fire-breathing dragon gently flapped its wings in the air, leaving a beautiful arc in the flight trajectory of the large group of bird Pokémon, and landed steadily near the high tower in the center of the City of Hope.

Here is the "helipad" dedicated to visiting trainers.

Right in front of the tarmac, an old man with white beard and hair was watching the falling green hill motionlessly.

There is also a gray Pokémon floating beside him.

"Teacher, long time no see."

It was Volcano and Hoopa who came.

----

The shock and pressure brought about by the death of the "Son of God" and the rebuilding of the capital of the Yandi Alliance almost broke Volcano's heart.

Originally, he had a strong body and thick black hair, but he also became much older in a short period of time.

But fortunately, the rebuilding of City of Hope keeps the light in his eyes still alive. The pressure and responsibility on his body are, in a sense, the driving force for Mr. Volcano to live.

"Qingshan."

Volcano nodded towards Aoyama.

"Just walk around?"

"of course."

Along the road paved with bricks, Qing Shan and Mr. Volcano walked slowly towards the center of the city.

Sode had already jumped off the top of Aoyama, and ran to play with Hoopa next to him.

"The city is recovering much faster than expected, and it will take another year at most in this way, and the whole city can be restored at the architectural level."

Aoyama looked at the buildings lined up in the distance, and said to Mr. Volcano.

The buildings in the City of Hope are mostly built with sand-fired bricks. This kind of building material and structure is very suitable for the natural environment of the Yandi Alliance.

Although the ability to resist disasters is not very good, it can even be said to be extremely poor, but the efficiency and speed of reconstruction are much higher than other cities.

Especially with the help of Pokémon——Qingshan has seen a lot of sand hippopotamuses and fire camels in the city, plus a large number of water-type Pokémon specially raised in the lake, their cultivation should be all In order to rebuild the city's needs.

"But the lost life is hard to see."

"This was originally a gathering place for the homeless during the War of Warcraft, but now these refugees have buried their lives in this new home."

"Compared to creation, human beings are more interested in destruction..."

"No, humans are really good at destroying, but when they join hands with Pokémon, the power of creation is definitely far stronger than destruction."

Aoyama interrupted Volcano teacher's words.

Although he knew, these exclamations might have been suppressed in Mr. Volcano's heart for a long time.

Even so, this is not an answer to agree with.

"Is it......"

Volcano's gaze turned to the side again, looking at the proud disciple who walked side by side with him.

The smile that opened the corner of his mouth could not tell whether it was gratification or bitterness.

----

"arrive."

"This is the Monument to the Dead. It's the first time you've seen Qingshan after it's completed."

"Yes."

The tower was built on the site of the original cathedral, and this building standing in the center of the city is the office of the reorganized Yandi Alliance high-level, that is, the Pokémon Association.

It is also the city of the universe, and the tombstone of countless lives buried in that battle.

"The wrist of the universe..."

The slanted cross with a slightly irregular golden outline is exactly a copy of the Qianyu wrist-the tombstone symbol built like this, whether the emotions represented in it are anger and hatred, or prayer and desire, or are they contradictory? Intertwined together, Qingshan is unknown.

But at least, no one will kneel before this symbol again.

They either paused and bowed to pay their respects to the dead, or hurried past the tower to devote themselves to life.

This all proves that they have changed from relying on the gods to relying on themselves - because of this, the flower of hope can bloom in this city.

See the city's new life from above...

"Hey, are the unknown totems still here?"

Before that battle, Qingshan had seen a large number of unknown totems pasted on the surfaces of various buildings in the city, but they had disappeared after the battle.

Aoyama thought it was affected by the battle, or returned to the cracks of time and space - most of the unknown totems live in ancient ruins and cracks of time and space. They are Pokémon full of mysteries that have not yet been fully resolved. .

Although they have no power alone, when two or more appear at the same time, they will produce a lot of incredible power.

"Yes, in the process of rebuilding the city, the Totems of the Unknown came back here from the space gate that was opened somewhere—they also contributed to the construction of the city, and their contribution was no less than that of other people or Pokémon."

"What an amazing little guy."

After a sentence of emotion, Volcano continued.

"Okay, Qingshan."

"Enough chatting, tell me about your purpose of coming here."

"Now that you are a hot star in the league, you probably don't have time to come here to catch up with me, an old man, right?"

In terms of relationship, the two are still mentors and apprentices, but even though Volcano is now the powerful president in charge of all affairs of the Yandi Alliance, there is a big gap between the current Volcano and Qingshan in terms of status and strength.

In many cases, in many things, we cannot be as simple as we thought before.

"No, there are indeed many things to talk about, and coming to see the teacher is one of them."

"As for the other things, it can barely be regarded as three."

"First, come here and see if there is any news about the Shadow Council here, teacher."

"Shadow Council..."

As the base camp of the "Son of God" and "Bishop", although most of the entire city was blown into ruins, whether it is the members of the organization that survived by chance, or the relevant information books with a few words left, they are all worth obtaining specially. clue.

Especially now that the order in City of Hope has been gradually restored.

"I'm sorry, Aoyama."

Volcano shook his head after thinking for a while.

"Although I have focused most of my energy on the reconstruction of the city, I have not neglected to collect information about the Shadow Council."

"But unfortunately, I didn't get any more information about them."

"As for the information that Sean and the others can confide, there are only those I gave you last time."

"Okay, did Theon and Yun Wangyan do anything special?"

"Apart from Zoroark's regular visits to Carlos, there seems to be no cause for concern."

The "Illusionist" didn't go to Carlos many times, and she didn't go to the city, but to the Zoroak settlement in the Forest of Oruans - Zoroak didn't deliberately conceal his whereabouts - The above information is provided by Galar, who has become Qingshan's informant, and Diamond Princess Tianxi.

----

"Well, for the time being, I think they are trustworthy."

"Then, Mr. Volcano, let's discuss the second matter now."

When Aoyama mentioned this matter, his expression became much more serious.

"I hope that the Yandi Alliance will hold the 'Goblet of Fire' event again, and invite your alliance and the Haidu Alliance to jointly host the next World Alliance Conference."

"Goblet of Fire" is the name of the local alliance conference of the Yandi Alliance, just like the "Quartz Conference" and "Silver Conference".

"Based on this reason, please ask the Yandi Alliance to reorganize the alliance structure as soon as possible, especially the corresponding level system of the Four Heavenly Kings champions."

Volcano frowned slightly.

"Re-hosting 'Goblet of Fire' I can understand."

"After all, this is an event that can inspire the public and young trainers, and it will be of great benefit to the recovery of the city and the entire league."

"However, the World League Congress."

"Even if it's co-hosted with the Haidu Alliance... I don't think the two parties combined have such capabilities."

"It should be more appropriate to hold it in Zhongdu or Guandu, right?"

The World League Conference mentioned by Aoyama is the third one.

After the Carlos League successfully held the first event, the second event has also been successfully held in the Galar League.

By the way, there is a "strange" rule in the competition that "players who have been qualified as hall trainers in the World League Conference are not allowed to participate again".

Even if Aoyama has any doubts, but considering that this rule is actually only targeted at him, he can only let it go in the end-even the Zhongdu side agreed, after all, at Aoyama's age, he can still participate in the third round For the competition, if he is really asked to play a few more times... it seems that there is no need to hold this competition.

"Also, this should be your personal proposal, Qingshan, right?"

"It's indeed my personal suggestion, but I said it just now."

"I hope you do."

God said, let there be light.

Although there is still a long way to go to this level, Qingshan's opinion will be given a reply after careful consideration by any alliance, and it will never be easily rejected.

And Qingshan is not alone now, he has his friends in the top management of each alliance - if he makes this proposal, then the possibility of rejection by the alliance headquarters is basically unlikely.

"Ugh."

Teacher Volcano sighed deeply.

"Because of a sense of responsibility?"

"No, it's just that I think that your two major leagues need such opportunities more—it's just icing on the cake for Zhongdu, but it's a helping hand for Yandi and Haidu."

The two major alliances, which have almost lost their high-level and high-end combat power, urgently need a chance to express themselves on the world stage.

An opportunity to stimulate economic development as well as to inspire and motivate the league's trainers.

"Aoyama..."

There was a wry smile on the corner of Teacher Volcano's mouth, but the emotion contained in it was obviously full of more relief.

"You have reached a height that I have never reached."
