The sun sets in the west and endless stars light up the night sky.

"I guess it's at least nine o'clock now." Xiaojie looked at the position of the stars and moon in the sky and said while touching his chin.

"Shall we leave for the return journey? The time limit is coming soon." Xiao Ye said as she packed up the cooking tools in her hands.

"Don't worry." Xiaoling winked at Xiaoye, "I just came up with a good idea!"

Calling everyone together, Xiaoling lowered her voice mysteriously, "Everyone, is your whistle still there?"

"Well, I haven't used it yet." Xiaojie took out the colorful translucent whistle from his arms and shrugged quietly.

——Instead of saying "didn't use it", it's better to say "didn't have time to use it".

Seeing Xiaoye and Xiaotian also taking out their whistles, Xiaoling laughed and hugged their shoulders, leaving her brother alone and ignoring his half-moon eyes, "Aren't you curious about Mr. Daye?"

Did you mean 'rescuing soldiers'? I'm super curious, they will come to rescue us three minutes after blowing the sound - it sounds like a myth."

"I'm actually a little curious...Hey, could it be that..."

"It's that 'could it be said'!"

After getting Xiaoling's resounding answer, Xiaoye suddenly felt a little ashamed.

After knowing each other for so long, Xiaoye can basically guess some of this friend's little thoughts. Faced with such a question that makes people want to explore, and there is an opportunity to explore, unless Xiaoling's hands are tied, she will definitely

"Follow the truth" to the end.

As for the so-called opportunity——

"Anyway, the adventure is coming to an end soon. There is no loss in being ruled out now, right? So -" Xiaoling shook the whistle in her hand, "Let's just blow it once and give it a try!"

The three people stared at each other with the starry eyes of the girl.

"Uh, isn't it a little bad? It's like lying to the police..." The golden-haired boy is often not as off-line as his sister at this time, and his logic can barely stay within the scope of a normal person.

"There's nothing wrong with it. If the reinforcements can arrive within three minutes, it means they must not be far from us, or even quietly following us to protect us, right? They work so hard, and it's natural for us to thank them before leaving.

Yes." As she said that, Xiaoling showed a plate with neatly arranged sandwiches beside her, "Look, I've even prepared a thank you gift."

"...Huh?" But isn't that just an ordinary sandwich...

"For Mr. Bingbing, who has worked so hard until now, a late-night snack that can fill his stomach is the most suitable gift." Xiaoling said sternly.

"..." The three of them exchanged glances again.

"It seems...that's right?" Xiaojie scratched his head, "Xiaoye, Xiaotian, what do you think?"

"I think no matter what, it's fine." Xiaoye also scratched her head.

Xiaotian seemed to be shaking his head helplessly, with an air of "There is nothing you can do about the naughty children at home", "It doesn't hurt to try."

"Right, right! Then let's play together and see. First, we have to choose a good position... Well, this way, this way!"

Xiaojie: "It doesn't matter where you stand... No, wait!"

Xiaoling: "What?"

Xiaojie: "Xiaoling, you... just unleashed your ability to talk nonsense seriously on me, right?!"

Xiaoling: "......How could it be? What I said is all the truth."

Xiaojie: "Before you say something like this, please remove the three seconds of silence before your lines, bastard sister!"

After all the fuss, the noisy young people were finally ready to "call for reinforcements."

Standing next to the lake containing the starry sky, four whistles were picked up at the same time.

"Then - get ready, three, two, one!"

A clear whistle sounded on the lake. Four tones were superimposed on each other, rising far into the sky and reaching the other side of the night.

Perhaps it was triggered by the incredible whistle, or perhaps it was just a coincidence - at the bottom of the lake, all the colorful stones emitted the most dazzling light. The glow of different colors merged into one, flew high into the night sky, and turned into flat ground.

The bright stars rise from the sky.

Star Falls erupted.

The boys and girls all showed expressions of astonishment and had long forgotten to continue blowing. However, Qingyue's whistle was still lingering, swirling around in the gushing starlight, and together with the colorful waterfalls, it became the most beautiful place on the other side of the earth.

Eye-catching indicator signs.

In the dense mist, two figures appeared.

They have streamlined bodies and glass-like feathers. Their straight wings tremble slightly, making them faster than jet planes, leaving a brilliant tail of light in the deep blue night sky.

Two pairs of soft, watery eyes, one yellow and one red, gently reflected the figures of the boys and girls in them, and rippled in the surging starlight.

——Infinite Pokémon, Latias, Latios.

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

Eleven o'clock at night.

When the young man who had been standing at the edge of the supply station on the shore for a long time finally saw the four belated figures, he couldn't help but sigh.

"There's still one hour left before the deadline. You four are really pragmatic."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Xinghai." Xiaoling took over the conversation without shame, "It's hard to come here once, how about having fun without racing against time."

"Well, actually it would have been earlier. There was an accident on the way..." Xiaoye tried her best to give a feeble explanation.

If "I blew a whistle to call Latias and Latios, and I lost track of time while chatting and playing with them".

After seeing the rescuer in person, the mystery of "arrived within three minutes" was immediately solved - the infinite Pokémon Latias and Latios are known for their extraordinary flying speed and can cross most of the distance in three minutes.

It's entirely possible to do that.

On the contrary, the whistle that can be heard by infinite Pokémon in the distance is even more interesting. Unfortunately, after being blown once, the whistle fell into pieces, making it impossible to conduct any research on it.

After sighing, the silver-haired young man raised his familiar gentle smile, "So, how do you feel about the adventure in the other side?"

"Of course it's great! Mr. Xinghai, I discovered a lot of secrets that the expedition team doesn't know about, such as——"

"Okay, don't just stand here, let's talk while you go back to the room."

The first-level investigator who was on vacation took four new trainers for a walk along the beach and headed to the dormitory area deep in the supply station on the shore.

According to Xinghai, the expedition team led by Fire King Daye has finished its work and left the other side. The current temporary leader is named "Tono Yoshihiko". Upon hearing this name, Xiaojie and Xiaoling immediately expressed surprise

"It turns out to be the first-level investigator from the Johto area." This person must be as famous as Xinghai.

Xiaoye, who was obviously a trainer but didn't even know the top celebrities in the trainer world, suddenly felt that she needed to do a deep self-reflection.

Eleven o'clock in the night was already the time for most people to rest, and the new person in charge, Mr. Tono, and his team were no exception. Therefore, everyone did not disturb them and returned directly to their lounges.

"We will return to Honglian City early tomorrow morning, remember to rest early" - although Xinghai said this before leaving, a dormitory full of ten-year-old newcomers could not be quiet no matter what.

After washing up, the four of them sat on the bed and continued the previous topic.

The adventure in the other side is so interesting, why don't we exchange our thoughts - so said the golden retriever brother and sister.

"...Because the atlas stated that the biggest threat to the Red Rock Desert was sandstorms, so the desert dragonflies and I crossed over completely unprepared. And guess what happened? The sandstorms were actually created by a large group of desert dragonflies.

Yes, we broke directly into their territory!"

"I bet bro, you were hunted for at least ten hours~"

"If I'm really being chased for that long, I'll blow the whistle early!"

Xiaoye did not speak actively as usual. However, the more she listened carefully to the conversation of the other three, the more Xiaoye felt that something was wrong.

It was an indescribable sense of disobedience. The experiences of Xiaojie and Xiaoling were indeed bizarre and thrilling, but...

It's so "normal".

Yes, all these thrills and strangeness are based on the normal cognitive system. This is completely different from Xiaoye's impression of the half-month journey. Xiaoye originally thought that the content of everyone's conversation would be more bizarre.

,because--

She herself has indeed experienced an "abnormality" that subverted her cognition.

Just when Xiaoye's thoughts were about to leave her body, the conversations of the other three brought her back.

"Hey, Iceberg boy, you also saw the white light?"

Xiaotian nodded, "I saw it in the ruins where I found the Heart of the Moon."

"It's so strange." Xiaoling blinked, "Why did the three of us see similar white lights... And my brother and I were both saved by the phantom of a Pokémon that we didn't know was real or fake. Xiaoye Xiaoye

, have you really not seen it?”

"No, I'm sure." Xiaoye shook her head.

"Hmm..." Xiaojie pondered for a while, "Is it really a coincidence? Or is it a mechanism unique to the other side?"

The nameless ruins in the cedar forest, the red rock desert, and the psychedelic flower valley. The three places should have no connection, but similar white light and different mysterious powers appeared. What kind of mystery is there? The golden retriever brothers and sisters even had their imaginations opened.

I speculated on more than a dozen possibilities, but in the end I couldn't really pinpoint an answer.

It had only been half a month since they set foot on this land, and they still didn't know enough about it. At least now, he couldn't solve this mystery.

"The land beyond is indeed an incredible place" - in the end, Xiaoling had no choice but to use such a sentence to end the lying-down meeting hastily.

After the chat session ended, Xiaoye did not take a rest immediately, but randomly found an excuse to push the door open and walk out of the temporary dormitory.

The sea is very calm at night. At the end of the line of sight, the sea and the sky are the same deep blue. The two blend into each other, like a night-colored barrier covering the entire world, filling the vision of those who are not sleeping.

Compared to a warm dormitory, the sea breeze at night is indeed more conducive to quick thinking. Xiaoye stood quietly by the sea, sorting out her thoughts.

Unfortunately, it's too late, so I can't record the recent information on my notepad. I'll make up for it when I return to Honglian City tomorrow.

Xiaoye thought a little absent-mindedly while reviewing the contents of the lying-down meeting.
