Everyone else is a trainer, but you are a swordsman?

"I'm finally out. If I don't come out soon, I'll feel like dying..."

Xiaozhen took a deep breath of the cold air, stretched out towards the sun, and said with a refreshed look on his face.

It was winter now, and the branches of the trees were frozen stiff, creaking in the cold wind. People could only feel a little warmth when basking in the sun.

"Pah~"

Pachirisu jumped down from Xiaozhen's shoulders and quickly ran to a tree, hoping to find some fruit that hadn't withered or fallen.

"Wind~"

The wind fairy was also flying in the air, doing photosynthesis towards the sun. It was really suffocated by the few days in the tunnel. The dark environment was suitable for Mamaula but not for it.

"Rest here for a while."

Feng squatted down and put the tired charcoal servant back into the shadow, asking the Shield Blade Monster to look after him. Then he said, "We'll continue forward after Silverface and the Earl come out. We'll try to reach the nearby Pokémon Center by night."

"Are we going to arrive tonight? It's not that close to there, is it so urgent?"

Xiao Zhen caught the details in Feng's words and looked at Feng in confusion.

Feng stood up and took Ma'la's paw, like a gentleman inviting a lady at a ball, and said as they walked: "Well, I will need you to do something for me when the time comes."

……

Night falls quietly.

The coldness came quietly like a ghost, seeping into the air in every pore. Every breath seemed to inhale tiny ice crystals, making people shiver all over and their teeth chatter.

however.

In the midst of darkness and cold, there are still three flickering flames lighting the way forward.

The three people holding torches are like the light of hope in the dark night, stubbornly resisting the invasion of cold and bringing a faint but precious warmth to people.

However, the fire brings not only warmth, but also... danger.

The nocturnal Pokémon hiding in the darkness were attracted by the bright firelight, and approached the three humans holding torches with either curiosity or greed.

Some of the more brutal Pokémon couldn't hold back their inner impulses and launched attacks brazenly, with flames and claws intertwined and roars rising one after another.

but.

Feng and the others relied on their formidable strength to force their way "calmly" across Route 208, leaving behind only some fallen Pokémon and the fearful and prying eyes around them.

Shortly after.

The three of them stopped, and the firelight illuminated a road sign ahead. Feng, who had been silent all the way, finally spoke: "We're here. There's an elf center ahead."

The Wind Fairy was exhausted from fighting all the way and had been put into the Poké Ball by Feng. The only one left by his side was Magna, who was very energetic at night.

Feng also intended to let it fight more monsters to accumulate experience and become an elite Pokémon as soon as possible, but Magma has always wanted to find a suitable opponent for promotion but has never been able to do so.

"The time is about the same, and the location should also match."

He muttered a few words, turned around and looked at Xiaozhen, Fujikawa, and the Silver Mask and the Earl who arrived shortly afterwards, and finally stated his intention, "I need the rest of you to split up and find me a dream demon nearby until the sun rises."

Xiao Zhen took two steps forward and asked uncertainly, "Dream Demon? Is it that ghost-type Pokémon?"

"Is this the weird thing that the fat guy mentioned at the Pokémon Center?"

Fujikawa recalled the scene at that time, but he didn't know why Feng was so sure that it was a dream demon.

Silverface scratched his head and said, "Sir, if a ghost-type Pokémon wants to hide, it will be really hard to find it."

"Don't worry about that."

Hearing the questions, Feng explained calmly, "That dream demon loves to play pranks. It creates illusions based on everyone's dreams. If you go looking for it normally, you might be targeted."

Feng had this idea, and he probably recalled the scenes in the anime in his previous life.

He remembered that on the way to Fate City, Xiaozhi and his friends encountered a dream demon who could use illusion and could unconsciously pull several people and Pikachu into the illusion.

In the anime, Ash also dreams of fighting against Sirona, using Pikachu to fight Rayquaza, and finally defeating it to become the world's number one.

Feng feels that judging from the performance of this dream demon in the anime, its qualifications should not be very low.

If he could subdue it and use the secret manuals of Huan Yao, it might be of great use in the future. Huan Yao happened to have a complete set of notes on the cultivation of dream demons below the quasi-king level.

Thinking of this, Feng immediately made arrangements: "The five of us will search in these five directions respectively. If we find them, we will immediately try to capture them. If we don't find them, we will come back here and regroup."

"Yes, sir!" x4

After the division, Feng walked towards the north alone...

……

after a while.

Feng returned with Malanla in defeat.

Several flames gathered around the signpost again, illuminating the darkness and casting long shadows.

Several people have returned to the signpost one by one, and reported after seeing Feng.

Fujikawa, cigarette in hand, shook his head and said, "Sir, I looked around in that direction but couldn't find any trace of the Dream Demon."

Silverface shook off his clothes, which had a few scratches on them, and sighed, "Me too. I encountered a lot of wild Pokémon."

"I used my psychic powers to scan the Solar Eevee and the Artificial Cell Egg along the way, but I didn't see anything."

The Earl stroked the Sun Eevee licking its fur beside him, and shook his head at Feng.

After hearing what they said, Feng nodded: "Now we just have to wait for Xiaozhen..."

He hoped that Xiaozhen would gain something, but if she didn't come back, it might mean that she had encountered the dream demon's illusion, which would be good news. All he had to do next was look in that direction.

But soon, Feng's idea was shattered.

"Sorry, everyone, I got lost and came back late..."

Xiao Zhen walked out of the dark woods with the dozing Pachirisu in her arms, and stuck out her tongue at Feng apologetically.

Feng shook his head helplessly and was about to speak when he suddenly felt a faint wave coming from behind him.

"what is that?"

He keenly caught the change and looked back suddenly, but saw only a gloomy and dark forest.

It was quiet.

A cold wind blew, making a rustling sound in the woods. The few leaves on the trees were blown off and slowly fell to the ground under the flickering firelight.

"Huh... There's no one, and no Pokémon..."

Feng used the attribute panel to take a look, but found nothing, and felt that it was just a false alarm.

but.

When Feng turned around again, a strange scene happened, which gave him a shock.

Xiao Zhen who just came back, Fujikawa smoking a cigarette, Silverface scratching his head, and Earl touching the Sun Eevee...

They're all gone.

Feng was the only one left beside the road sign, standing there alone...
