March 20th, Sunday, the spring equinox.
The foothills were covered with ice and snow, the sky was vast, and the sea of clouds lingered over the body of the armored bird.
Mount Hukrani was 4,000 meters above sea level, the highest point in all of Aurora. Regardless of day or night, one could always see the best scenery of Aurora when climbing Mount Hukrani. The observatory at the top of the mountain was the holy land of astronomy enthusiasts all over the world.
It was said that the starry sky of Mount Hukrani was the clearest in the world.
And before the stars appeared, reaching Mount Hukrani gave one the chance to see one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world.
Four large optical telescopes sat on the top of the mountain, their bright silver shells reflecting the snow. The circular planetarium was in the middle, and the manager was one of the future Four Heavenly Kings, the Heavenly King of Steel, Ma Ruiyin.
The path to the top of the mountain was only a winding, hilly two-lane road. The road conditions were extremely dangerous: small magnetic monsters jumped onto the road, and rumbling rocks slid down the mountain.
And when the road was smooth, the clouds spread out like a blanket.
Someone had captured the Chinese Valentine's Day Blue Bird. There was even a chance to observe a rare self-exploding magnetic monster.
At this time, an "Egg Tree Bus" was driving on the mountain road. The body of the bus was painted with an Aurora Egg Tree stretching its neck. Looking from the window, there were only two tourists in the empty bus.
The black-haired young man and the blonde beauty were facing the window. The seat was bumpy, and Lu Ye leaned half of his body against the railing beside the door. Sirona had Pokeby on her lap and was leaning against Lu Ye.
The driver's seat was empty, and Geng Gui was sitting in the driver's seat, wearing an N-sized cap.
Lothom from the transportation company was hiding in the middle of the steering wheel, angrily asking Geng Gui to leave.
"Haha ~" Geng Gui grinned and clinked glasses with the steering wheel.
Outside the window, the clouds spread out like a painting, and the chill of the high altitude drifted in.
"How much longer?" she whispered.
"Half an hour." Lu Ye observed the decoration of the bus. "The 'Egg Tree Bus' is Aurora's specialty, so I want to take this to the top of the mountain."
"Okay." She let out a soft nasal sound and leaned her head sideways on Lu Ye's shoulder. The black and gold hair ornament tickled her neck.
Lu Ye lowered his head and looked at her. Her golden hair covered her face and scattered around her waist and knees. Her eyes were closed, and her eyelashes were long and slender. Her cheeks were snow-white and delicate.
Looking out the window, the foothills continued to sweep past. The altitude gradually rose, the sea of clouds lingered, and the sky was heavy.
"If we reach the top of the mountain, we'll be just in time for sunset," Lu Ye thought as he sniffed the fragrance of the golden hair.
At 6: 15, the "Coconut Tree Bus" stopped at the planetarium platform. It was still 10 minutes away from the top of the mountain.
Geng Gui, carrying a small backpack, was the first to jump out of the car.
Turning around, Geng Gui picked up Pokeby, who was waving his little hands, and carried him down the stairs.
"Cha Ji Du Yi ~" Pokeby stepped on the snow and giggled.
Lu Ye was wearing a scarf. He stepped on the rustling snow and exhaled a mouthful of white mist.
"Who would have thought that in the tropical Aurora region, we have to wear winter clothes?"
"Mount Huklani is four thousand meters above sea level, but if we calculate from the bottom of the sea, it's twelve hundred meters high."
Sirona was wearing a black coat. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and said, "It's higher than the highest mountain in the world."
Lu Ye looked up at the observatory at the top of the mountain.
The prototype of Ulula Island was Hawaii. The prototype of Mount Huklani was Hawaii's Mount Mauna Kea. It was known as one of the best astronomical observation points in the world.
The "Coconut Tree Bus" left the platform. Lu Ye and Sirona stood next to the stop sign, leaving a line of tracks in the snow.
"That's the shrine over there. It's dedicated to Kapu Hum Moo. Do you want to go and take a look?" she said.
Lu Ye looked over. It was a Hawaiian-style shrine. The torii was decorated with bells, and there were pink flowers and dancing birds.
"Can we pray for marriage?" Lu Ye joked.
"Who knows?" Sirona smiled.
The snow was reflected in the sky, making it even grayer. The two of them walked in the snow, leaning against each other. The torii and the roof were piled with snow, but the dojo in the middle was lush with grass. Electric Bugs were crawling in it and could be vaguely seen.
"Kapu Hum Moo has the ability to control plants. Its characteristic is Grass Maker." Lu Ye said, "The Arena Gorilla's characteristic is also Grass Maker. Together with the Grass Slide, it's more practical than Kapu Hum Moo in the field of combat."
"You'll be punished for speaking ill of the Island Goddess at the shrine."
"I'm telling the truth."
Above the shrine, Kapu Hum Moo revealed her majesty as she descended and looked down at the uninvited guests who had barged into the shrine.
She had a golden bell hanging from her tail and a nose ring. She looked at the two of them and frowned slightly.
Immediately, Kapu Hum Moo gave up on showing herself and quickly flew towards the skyline.
Let's go!
Lu Ye and Sirona left the shrine.
They walked towards the observatory at the top of the mountain.
The observatory was above the sea of clouds and had less atmospheric interference. It was the best place for observation.
Curator Ma Ruiyin received the two of them and smiled while scratching his head.
"Because of the potential risks of tonight's meteor shower, the museum is closed to ordinary tourists. Naturally, there's no problem with the two champions. "
"I remember that you're Mamane's elder, right?" Mr. Lu asked.
"Yes, I'm his cousin. Thank you for taking care of that kid."
"Not at all. I think that Mamane's dream of becoming an astronaut must have been influenced by his elders."
"Hahaha, that kid is still far from it. Let's go, both of you. It's almost sunset. I'll take you to the observation tower. "
"That …" Lu Ye hesitated.
"The observation tower is due west. I have some data to deal with, so I won't disturb the two of you!"
The observation tower was about six meters tall. At the top, there were telescopes, benches, and small white metal balls on the edge.
Climbing to the top of the observation tower, a chill greeted them. There was a refreshing feeling, and their vision suddenly opened up.
What entered their eyes was a rolling sea of clouds. The white clouds formed a huge carpet without any gaps. It was as if they could walk and walk towards the golden sun at the end.
The altitude of Mount Hukrani was so high that the observation tower was already out of the sea of clouds. Standing at the top of the tower, the clouds spread out in all four directions.
At the end of the sea of clouds, the setting sun was spectacular. The golden sunlight shone in all directions, refracting a light rainbow in the blue sky. The sea of clouds was dyed orange-red.
Lu Ye's chest rose and fell as he breathed in the fresh air. Geng Gui floated behind him, his hands on his cheeks. He was in a daze. "Jie …"
The sun seemed to be hovering above the sea of clouds, as if it was about to fall into the snow-covered horizon. It fell at a slow and precise speed. The rainbow refraction became more and more obvious, and the orange-red light became more and more intense.
Suddenly, Lu Ye's palm shrank into a cold and soft hand. He turned his head to look at Sirona.
Her side profile shone in the afterglow. Her face was slightly crimson. Her nose was delicate and tall, and the corners of her mouth were curved as she stared at the sun at the end.
So he held her hand and sat on the edge of the observation tower, like two motionless statues. On the left floated Geng Gui, and on the right stood the Land Shark.
The two sat on a bench more than 4,000 meters above sea level, leaning against each other. The sea of clouds swirled around them as they faced the setting sun, leaving behind a black silhouette.
Time became slow and eternal. The sun turned from golden to fiery red, and half of it fell into the sea of clouds. The rainbow converged into an orange-red line. When the sun was about to fall, the halo suddenly brightened and disappeared completely.
The sun set, and night fell.
…
At 7: 15 pm, Ma Ruiyin led Mr. Lu and Sirona on a tour of the observatory and introduced the extraterrestrial meteorite that carried the Daioqisis gene.
At 7: 45 pm, Mr. Lu borrowed the observatory's kitchen to cook and invite Ma Ruiyin to eat together. The trainer and the Pokémon enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.
At 8: 30 pm, the data of the upcoming meteor shower was observed.
At 8: 40 pm, according to the data, the meteor shower would arrive at 10: 30 pm.
"There's a very strange phenomenon."
In the observatory's data room, Ma Ruiyin scratched his head and said, "The comet that passed by tonight has an 80% chance of carrying life … I can only hope that it's not Daioqisis."
"Don't be so pessimistic."
Lu Ye said, "It could also be Wuji Kuina."
Ma Ruiyin was slightly stunned. Wuji Kuina, like Daioqisis and Kira Qi, was also a Universal Pokémon that followed the comet to Earth.
"If that's the case, Lu Ye and I will help solve it."
Sirona's expression was calm as she looked at Lu Ye and smiled. "I have a feeling … that it will be a Pokémon that we are familiar with."
Lu Ye said, "I'm also familiar with Daioqisis … Tsk …"
Even though she was talking, she was still grabbing me!
Originally, camping was not allowed at the top of the mountain, but Ma Ruiyin made an exception and agreed. He said that he would stay in the laboratory all night and track the comet's movements in real time.
The tent was specially made to keep people warm, and it was still shaped like a "Super Giant Geng Ghost". Lying in the mouth of the Geng Ghost, one felt a different sense of security.
Amidst the rustling wind at night, the sky was silent, and the clouds surged in all directions. It was as if the entire observatory was flying in the sky, constantly moving.
The camping site was very spacious, enough to release all of Mr. Lu and Sirona's Pokémon.
Lucario stood at the edge of the platform and looked up at the night sky. The Fiery-Bite Land Shark guarded behind Sirona.
The Water Arrow Tortoise quietly appeared on Lucario's shoulder and pushed up its sunglasses. Lucario was shocked.
Banjiras tried to swallow the white meteorite at the entrance of the observatory, but Lothom hurriedly stopped it.
The Rock Monster retracted its fan-shaped face and found a trustworthy teammate to hide behind the Onion Ranger.
"Quack!" The Onion Ranger's eyes were sharp. It held a green onion, a sword, and a shield in its hands and was sleeping with its eyes open.
No one knew what Duckling had gone through to slack off!
Pokebee walked around in front of the campsite with his phone, trying to find the best signal.
Wind Speed Dog stood majestically on the edge of the cliff and looked up at the night sky.
The Husky of the past had the style of the Cyan Green's "Lion King" Wind Speed Dog.
Duckley closed his eyes and rested; Little V held a macaron and chewed happily; Meroieta hummed softly.
Latias shouted cheerfully as he flew together with Polkis, circling around the planetarium.
Fairy Ibu used a ribbon to tie up Ice Ibu that was trying to stick to her.
"Boo! (▼ * ▼ #) "
Don't be perverted!
"Ifu ~ (IД `)" Frozen Ibu shook the Ice Crystal Pendulum.
Ice Ibu missed Little Fairy Boo of the past. Her delicate body was easy to push down, but now she was the one who was the host …
Lu Ye and Sirona stood at the edge of the observatory and looked up at the starry sky.
The blue, almost dark purple sky was filled with stars of all sizes. There were no obstructions, no atmospheric pollution, and no blind spots above their heads. Clear, beautiful, and brilliant. It was as if all the starlight had gathered on this night.
"It's as if I can reach out and touch it," Lu Ye looked up and said softly.
"It's so beautiful." Sirona's gray eyes flickered.
Lu Ye looked sideways.
Their gazes met at the same time. Her eyes were as bright as the stars, shining brightly.
Lu Ye wanted to say something. There was a childish impulse in his chest. He wanted to shout at the top of the mountain that was four thousand meters above sea level that he would soon be swallowed by the snow mountain.
But it was difficult to breathe. His heart was beating like a drum in the night. He said softly,
"Zhu Lan, I like you."
Sirona's gray eyes stared at him. She smiled and her eyes curved into crescent moons.
"I like you too."
At this time, at 10: 30 pm, the starry sky above their heads seemed to have turned into a whirlpool. Meteors passed by one after another.
"Kekeke! Keke!" Geng Gui exclaimed loudly. His mouth was wide open as he lay on the ground and looked up at the sky.
"Chaj-Du-Yi ~" Pokeby also put down his phone and looked up. His small eyes were shining.
Lu Ye and Sirona looked up at the same time. The meteors were dazzling like sparks as they streaked across the starry sky. An extremely beautiful blue comet with a long tail stopped in the night sky as if it was still.
"When did that comet appear?" Sirona asked softly.
"I don't know … but it's very beautiful, just like Zhu Lan," Lu Ye replied.
Sirona's lips curled into a smile. She stepped back lightly and smiled with her hands behind her back.
"It's the Wishing Star. Of course, you have to make a wish."
The starlight shone on her silky blonde hair. She was smiling, and her black and gold hair accessories were sparkling.
For a moment, his heart palpitated. Lu Ye said,
"Then what's your wish?"
"I won't tell you," Sirona said proudly.
"Then I can guess," Lu Ye said.
"I can guess your wish as well," she said with a faint smile.
"Then close your eyes and make a wish to the meteor. Then we'll say it together."
"Very childish." Sirona laughed. "But we can try."
She closed her eyes gently. Her eyelashes were long, her lips were delicate, and her skin was snow-white.
She said softly, "Have you made your wish?"
"Wait for me a little longer."
"Ten, nine, three, two, one!"
She opened her eyes and said confidently, "Lu Ye —"
"Zhu Lan."
Sirona's pupils constricted. The Master Ball was reflected in her eyes. The lid of the ball opened, and the beautiful and flawless Dioneshe embedded in red velvet looked like the world's most precious diamond ring.
Lu Ye held the Master Ball, his black hair swaying in the wind. His gaze was gentle as he smiled and said,
"Please marry me."
Meteors streaked across the sky one after another. Under the gorgeous meteor shower, a beautiful blue comet dragged its long tail.
Her silky blonde hair swayed, her gray eyes swirled, and her breathing stagnated. Images appeared in her mind one after another.
Their date under the Donghuang meteor shower, holding hands at Christmas, standing in front of the Space-Time Twin Dragons in Baiyang Town.
The kiss after the Battle of Migina, the confession in Shensha Town, the raging fire in Desert City …
Her eyes were slightly red, and a smile appeared on her beautiful and flawless face. She quickly pursed her lips and pushed her blonde hair away.
"If you want to tame a Pokémon, you have to risk shedding tears."
Lu Ye's black eyes flickered. "But we will all need each other. When I think of you, looking at the vast stars in the night sky, I also feel happy."
"So, Zhu Lan."
Lu Ye held the Master Ball and said with a gentle gaze,
"Please tame me."
Everything was silent, and the stars trembled faintly in the wind.
Sirona's eyes were slightly red, and she smiled gently.
"I'm willing."
The starry sky spun like a vortex, and the meteor shower was grand and brilliant.
Lu Ye looked at Zhu Lan, and his eyes flickered. He scratched his cheek shyly.
What responded to him was a hot body temperature and a shy and passionate kiss.
On the peak of Huklani Mountain, four thousand meters above sea level, the two silhouettes were blurry.
The night was long, and there was only one Ultra Giant Ghost tent in the snow.
The blue comet seemed to have opened its eyes, and a beam of light lit up the observatory.
"Koujie ~" Geng Gui was enveloped by the beam of light, and he looked up curiously.
A small meteorite gradually fell from the beam of light and landed in Geng Gui's palm.
"Koujie …" Geng Gui looked at the meteorite in his hand and scratched his head.
Why does this meteorite look so familiar?
"Clack …"
The Fiery-Bite Land Shark turned to look at the two.
That's my cabbage! (; ́ Д `/)
However …
The Fiery-Bite Land Shark nodded deeply.
I reluctantly agree to this marriage!
