After leaving Geosenge Town, the duo of Xiaoyun and Dawn joined Korrina to form a temporary three-person team, and the group moved forward steadily along the path heading north.
In the afternoon, the sun is just right.
A few people stopped in front of a low and rolling mountain road. The mountain was bare, and even the common housebirds were missing. Only a few skinny trees stood sideways.
But the difference is that the cave at the end of the mountain road is somewhat mysterious. The crystals at the entrance of the cave grow in a criss-cross pattern, clustered into columnar crystals, like a carefully polished wide mirror. The shiny surface clearly reflects the figures of the three people.
Rotom walked around the crystal and turned on the tour guide mode. "According to Rotom's observation, this place is called Reflection Cave. According to legend, behind each mirror crystal, there is another parallel world connected to it."
"When there is a special spiritual link between the same individuals in the parallel world, the mirror bridge to the world will open. If you are interested, you can try it."
"Where did you get this Pokédex? Many Kalos locals don't know this secret."
Korrina was posing in front of a mirror stone with Lucario, and was a little surprised when he heard Rotom's introduction.
She had been here several times, and she only learned about it after her grandfather talked about it. At first, she thought it was just beautiful.
This Pokédex is so good at it.
"It's exactly what the information says. Every stone here can be used as a mirror."
Dawn walked to a two-meter-high mirror stone, straightened his hat in front of the mirror, brushed the hair from his ears, and turned his head left and right to look at himself.
Rotom didn't listen at all to what he said about parallel worlds. Let's just act like a mirror first.
"Parallel world?"
Xiaoyun's eyes fell on a huge crystal mirror, and his face was clearly reflected in the mirror.
Do people like him also have parallel worlds?
At the moment when Xiaoyun was dazed, the arm that was resting on the mirror suddenly penetrated through without any hindrance. The sudden weightlessness made him subconsciously lean forward, and half of his body sank in immediately.
The weird feeling of traveling through time and space spread from his limbs and bones, and he could even feel the mirror wrapping around his body like water.
Next to him, Dawn was taking out his Pokédex to record his life. As soon as the camera pointed at the mirror stone, the movements of Xiaoyun were reflected.
I saw Xiaoyun's body slowly sinking into the smooth mirror stone as if it was being sucked into water.
"Xiaoyun!!"
Dawn was so anxious that he didn't even bother to put away the photo and rushed towards Xiaoyun.
Click!
The sound of crystal shattering sounded!
Dawn rushed over and reached out to grab Xiaoyun's wrist, but his fingertips only touched a piece of ice.
The mirror surface that was still flowing just now has become hard now, swallowing Xiaoyun's figure bit by bit.
Within a few seconds, the mirror stone returned to its original appearance, as if everything just now was an illusion.
She stood there in a daze, but the warmth of Xiaoyun's wrist still remained in her palms.
"What's going on? What's going on? Where is Xiaoyun?"
When Korrina heard the shouting, he quickly ran over with Lucario and asked hurriedly.
Dawn opened his mouth and then said:
"Xiaoyun, disappeared..."
At this moment, the other end of Reflection Cave.
Xiaoyun staggered out of the mirror stone and quickly held on to the rock next to him to steady himself.
He lowered his head and looked at his hands, feeling a familiar warmth coming over him. He touched the Poké Ball on his waist to confirm that the number was not missing, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, okay, I didn't travel through time.
It's already this time. It would be too bad if it reopened. It must be some kind of special agency.
He turned around and wanted to go back through the mirror stone again. When he reached out to touch the mirror crystal, he felt a hard touch on his fingertips.
The mirror that was originally Infiltrator turned into a normal solid crystal at this moment.
Xiaoyun Tried several times, still the same.
"Hey, this is a big problem."
If you are in doubt, you can ask Xiaoyi.
Xiaoyun began calling the almighty Darkrai.
"Darkrai, do you know what the situation is now?"
Xiaoyun called softly to the shadow, and Xiaoyi classmate replied in seconds.
Black mist emerged from the shadow under his feet, and the figure of Darkrai slowly appeared,
It floated to Xiaoyun, its scarlet eyes scanned the surrounding crystals, and its voice was low:
"We seem to have come to another space, which feels somewhat similar to Distortion World."
"Another space..." Xiaoyun suddenly remembered what Rotom said before.
Legend has it that behind every mirror here is connected to another parallel world.
Only the same individuals in two parallel worlds can communicate with each other's worlds.
"No way, it's really a parallel world."
Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, he just said it.
There is still him in this world, and there is Dawn, and I don't know if she is here...
Just as he was thinking this, a familiar voice came.
"Xiaoyun Why are you here? I just looked for you for a long time and couldn't find you!"
Xiaoyun looked up and saw a blue-haired girl holding Piplup walking towards him.
It is Dawn.
No, to be precise, it is Reflection Cave Dawn in this parallel world.
"Um..."
Looking at the familiar person in front of him, Xiaoyun didn't know how to speak for a moment.
However, it seems that the other party's personality has not changed much.
Reflection Cave Dawn Seeing that he didn't speak, he stretched out his hand with some worry and touched his forehead. "Xiaoyun Why don't you speak? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Why does your face look so strange?"
Her eyes suddenly fell on Darkrai next to Xiaoyun. Her eyes widened instantly and she almost jumped.
"Hey! Why is there Darkrai here! Isn't it at Sinnoh?"
Xiaoguang instantly remembered this extremely dangerous Pokémon that dominated the Double Dragon in Poplar Town!
"Xiaoyun, come here quickly! This Pokémon is very dangerous!"
Seeing that Xiaoyun still didn't respond, Dawn became a little anxious and immediately stretched out his hand to pull Xiaoyun to run away.
"Stop being so stunned, let's run!"
Seeing Dawn's anxious look, Xiaoyun said with some embarrassment:
"That Dawn, don't worry, this Darkrai is actually mine."
"What??"
Reflection Cave Dawn looked at Xiaoyun in confusion, and then at Darkrai who was floating beside Xiaoyun, and subconsciously leaned back.
Is this powerful guy yours? Why haven't I heard you talk about it before?
Xiaoyun smiled helplessly, and then briefly told the story of how he passed through the mirror stone and came to this world.
After some explanations, Reflection Cave Dawn quickly accepted it after the initial shock.
She walked around Xiaoyun and looked at it carefully. "You mean, you are Xiaoyun from another world?"
Because if you look closely, the Xiaoyun in front of you is exactly the same except for the face.
There is no similarity in appearance, temperament, etc.!
Especially this Darkrai, a guy who is as strong as a monster is actually so obedient.
Is Xiaoyun in the parallel world so powerful?
"That's pretty much it."
Xiaoyun paused and said seriously, "Can I ask about me in this world?"
Reflection Cave The world outside.
"Rotom tell me quickly! How can I find Xiaoyun! He won't just disappear..."
"Stop for a moment! Luo...Rotom is so chaotic!"
Dawn changed from his usual gentle style and kept shaking Rotom. Rotom was shaken so much that the screen flickered and the sound was intermittent.
"Well, Dawn, please calm down. Maybe Xiaoyun has not disappeared, but is nearby. We will definitely find it if we look for it."
Korrina said cautiously on the side, Korrina has always felt that Dawn is a gentle and calm girl after getting along with her for the past few days, but this is the first time he has seen her look so flustered and disorderly.
Dawn: If your boyfriend disappears, you might as well be like me!
Rotom was shaken by Dawn, and the screen lit up. "Give Rotom some time..., relevant information is being retrieved..."
Dawn took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She knew that Rotom would not be able to find a solution for a while, so she turned around and walked towards the mirror crystals, trying to find any clues.
But at this moment, a picture suddenly appeared on the mirror stone.
In the reflection on the mirror wall, there is a boy who looks exactly like Xiaoyun standing.
But he was wearing a light gray coat that he had never seen before, and his hair was messier than Xiaoyun's usual hairstyle.
More importantly, the eyes of the person in the mirror are very pale. They are not as bright as Xiaoyun usually is. Instead, they show a hint of fatigue.
"Xiaoyun? No, who are you?"
Although Xiaoguang didn't know what the parallel world was, her long-term relationship with Xiaoyun made her notice the abnormality at a glance, and she subconsciously touched the Pokmon Ball around her waist.
Xiaoyun, also known as Reflection Cave Xiaoyun, came out and was rubbing his arm. After confirming that he was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief:
"I'm okay? I just suddenly felt out of control. I thought I was going to collapse."
The feeling of not being able to control my body just now was like a sober ghost on the bed.
Korrina whispered in a low voice, "Could this mean that Xiaoyun's brain was damaged? Why does he feel so stupid all of a sudden that even we can hardly recognize him?"
However, it's not necessarily a bad thing if the inspector's brain is broken. Does the gym no longer need to take the assessment?
Only then did Reflection Cave Xiaoyun notice Dawn, who looked wary, and wondered, "Dawn is me, and why is the owner of Korrina here?"
Dawn affirmed. "No, you are not Xiaoyun!"
Reflection Cave Xiaoyun was stunned when asked, "Ah, then who should I be?"
"Um..."
Dawn was asked.
Yes, that's who it should be.
Just when the two were in a stalemate, Rotom suddenly came out. "Rotom has a suggestion! Come to a Pokémon competition to test your strength!"
Xiaoyun is recognized as strong in terms of strength, and this is indeed the best way to verify it.
Dawn nodded in agreement and was about to send out Pokémon, but was stopped by Korrina.
Korrina rolled up his sleeves and raised the corners of his mouth in a bellicose arc:
"Xinxi, leave it to me to test your strength! You should be warming up in advance for the gymnasium assessment!"
"Lucario!"
Lucario slowly stepped forward, clenching his fists at his side. There was faint energy flowing around his body, and he was already in a fighting state.
Reflection Cave Xiaoyun saw this battle, and his tone was full of distress. "Why do we suddenly have to fight? Can't we all communicate well? Can't we be more civilized?"
He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing Korrina's eagerness to try, and thinking that the other party was Gym Leader, it seemed impolite to refuse, so he had no choice but to sigh and take out a Poké Ball from his waist.
"Well, in that case, I'll leave it to you, Sceptile!"
"That's right!"
A red light flashed, and a Sceptile with a very familiar appearance suddenly jumped out of Poké Ball.
Dawn stood aside and observed carefully, but his brows furrowed quietly.
The appearance of this Sceptile was no different from the one she expected, but upon closer inspection, the sharpness of its eyes that had been battle-hardened was missing.
Korrina looked Sceptile up and down, raised his eyebrows, with a hint of surprise in his tone, and quickly regained his confidence:
"It's not that Lucario, but it doesn't matter, I'll go first."
"Lucario, use Bullet Punch!"
"Luca!"
Lucario moved in response, his right fist was wrapped in silver-white light, and it hit Sceptile.
"The fight is about to begin! Why don't you warm up first?"
Reflection Cave Xiaoyun was startled, and quickly waved his arms and shouted, "Sceptile, quickly block it with Leaf Blade!"
Upon hearing the command, Sceptile hurriedly crossed his arms in front of him, and green energy instantly covered his arms, turning into sharp Leaf Blade.
Bang!
Bullet Punch collided with Leaf Blade. Sceptile was immediately shaken by the huge Tackle force and retreated continuously. His feet dragged two shallow scratches on the ground.
"Tsk, Sceptile's response is a bit slow."
Shaymin, who was called out by Dawn, shook his head at Sceptile's performance.
"Great! Take advantage of Pursuit and use Power-Up Punch!"
Korrina's eyes flashed with excitement.
There are not many opportunities to beat up the inspector, so you must seize them firmly.
Lucario took advantage of the situation and retracted his fist, gathering stronger power with his left fist, and his punching style became stronger than before.
It exerted force with its feet and once again launched a fierce attack towards Sceptile who had not yet stood firm.
Reflection Cave Xiaoyun panicked and hurriedly commanded:
"Sceptile, avoid it quickly, then use Fury Cutter!"
Sceptile barely dodged Power-Up Punch sideways, then swung his sharp blade and quickly slashed towards Lucario.
But Lucario relied on his flexible body skills to easily avoid this hasty attack. Instead, he used Power-Up Punch to hit Sceptile on the back again during the dodge.
At the beginning of the battle, Sceptile could barely cope, but as the effects of Power-Up Punch continued to accumulate, Lucario's fists became heavier and heavier, and Sceptile's blood surged with every collision.
Soon, it could only retreat backwards continuously, completely falling into a passive situation of being beaten.
Korrina seized the opportunity and shouted sternly, "Now, Lucario, use Aura Sphere!"
Hearing this, Lucario hit Power-Up Punch with his right hand again, hitting Sceptile hard on the chest.
The moment Sceptile was forced to block, its left hand quickly gathered energy in front of its body, and the light blue Aura Sphere quickly took shape.
Sceptile just blocked Power-Up Punch and had no time to dodge.
Bang! Aura Sphere Sturdy hit the abdomen solidly, and the huge Tackle force caused it to fly backwards.
Reflection Cave Xiaoyun looked at the injured Sceptile. Even with his good temper, he couldn't help it. Bite shouted:
"Damn it, Sceptile is fighting! Use Frenzy Plant!"
