No.3 The rampaging beast roars

(I feel that it is more convenient to read the new chapter directly than to cover the original chapter, so I will temporarily update the remastered version here.) This part will be deleted when the second volume opens√)

(2018.9.22 Rebuilt)

A week has passed since the otherworldly traveler opened his eyes. Xiao Ye gradually became familiar with the new life in the pure white town.

The tragic scenario of "being so penniless that she can only gnaw on weeds" that she feared before did not happen. After carefully examining the room where she woke up, she found a bank card with proof of identity under her pillow - the Pokémon Alliance would issue a monthly minimum living allowance of 5,000 elf coins to all unemployed citizens. And her card has no other records except for the subsidy received at the beginning of the month, and like her current residence, it is full of ironic "new character accounts".

Elf Coin [Pokemon_Dollar] is the common currency in the territory of the Pokémon Alliance, and its purchasing power is similar to that of the Japanese yen in Xiaoya's cognition. 5000pd is not a large number, but Zhenxin Town is a small town, and the price is generally low, so it is still possible to maintain a basic life. You can also harvest a variety of tree fruits in the forest, which is a nutritious and cost-free ingredient.

After confirming that the basic life is guaranteed, Xiaoya begins to try to understand the world and what she should do next - the Pokémon Alliance has a total of five years of compulsory education, and children usually enter school at the age of five and graduate at the age of ten. Students who have obtained a primary school diploma are recognized as adults under the law of the Union, and they are left to travel, work or continue their studies.

In the mailbox at the door of the house, Xiao Ye found a transfer notice sent to her by the only elementary school in Zhenxin Town. The primary school is currently in the middle of the winter break and will not open until early February.

After roughly browsing the content taught by the Pokémon Alliance's elementary schools, Xiaoya suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

- If she doesn't do something about it, she's sure she'll have a reputation as "the big fool of Zhenxinzhen" on the first day of school.

As a result, with the sadness of "why the holidays are always more difficult than the semesters", visitors from other worlds did not have time to complain that they had changed from middle school students to elementary school students, and they could be said to have returned to the pre-liberation period overnight, and they threw themselves into the arduous struggle.

Realizing that she had to make up for the first four years of elementary school in a month, Xiao Ye gave up on her plans to study the knowledge in detail, and Ge began to devour her jujube as quickly as possible. Except for arithmetic and self-taught Chinese, courses such as society, history, and Pokémon general knowledge are completely foreign to Xiao Ye - thanks to the bookstore owner who sold her old textbooks at a cheap price, so that she did not go bankrupt on the spot for spiritual wealth.

During the dizzying study mission, Xiao Ye will go to the back mountain south of Zhenxin Town at a fixed time every day. Fresh air in nature is a great place to rejuvenate and exercise.

The mountain behind Zhenxin Town is an unnamed mountain range located in the south of Zhenxin Town. Far from the bustling city, it is sparsely populated, and only the residents of Zhenxin Town occasionally set foot here. The southern border of the mountain range is an open sandy beach adjacent to the sea.

For the children of Zhenxin Town, the backmountain jungle is a natural playground. There are a large number of Pokémon in the mountains, most of them are mild-tempered, do not like to fight, and as long as they do not take the initiative to provoke the Pokémon, they usually do not encounter any danger.

Of course, there are a lot of weeds and branches in the back mountain, which makes Xiao Ye feel more and more that she made the right choice to cut her hair short that day - the hairstyle created by the scissors is a little messy, but at least there will be no more tragedy where the hair and grass are tangled.

Physical exercise with a fixed daily length is a habit that Xiao Ye has developed since childhood. Although she no longer has the power to manipulate wind and thunder after occupying her new body, and there is no "elder grudge and hatred" to watch out for here, it is always beneficial to strengthen her body.

And in regular exercise, the girl soon discovers the difference in the human constitution of this world.

"Humans" are not as fragile species as they are in otherworldly perceptions. They are not afraid of ordinary electric shocks or bumps, and the rampage of small Pokémon is difficult to hurt humans, while strong adult males can even fight fighting Pokémon. Xiao Ye had witnessed a middle-aged man selling vegetables at the market fighting with his family's Shawarang, and many people around were cheering on him—it was said to be a repertoire after the morning market ended.

Thinking about it carefully, Xiao Ye felt that this situation was very reasonable. Since humans can survive in a world full of Pokémon and become the dominant ones on this planet, they are naturally not creatures that can be easily killed by weak Pokémon.

Thanks to his master, Xiao Ye's hand-to-hand fighting skills are quite proficient, and even if he is unlucky enough to be troubled by the Rada in the back mountain, he has the power to protect himself, so as not to be gnawed and run away. She used to be better at fighting with knives, but she ......

There are no knives.

Looking at the knife with the lowest price of 50,000 elf coins in the store, Xiao Ye felt that she could only look at it.

January 7, 999 in the morning of the Elven calendar.

"Boom—"

Suddenly, he heard a loud noise, and Xiao Ye, who was picking tree fruits, turned back in confusion.

She saw a cloud of smoke and dust rising not far away, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.

Compared to some of the cities that are often plagued by Pokémon riots, Shinshin is a fairly peaceful town. At least in the week I've been here, I've never heard such a big movement in the jungle in the back mountains.

Could it be a wild Pokémon fighting?

"Whew, Whew......"

The old man in the white coat was panting and running through the forest, and the original snow-white coat was covered with dust, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! it's my fault for disturbing your sleep......" The old man in the white coat shouted breathlessly.

"Whoa, oh!" replied to the old man with a roar and flying stones.

- Dr. Ohki thinks he's had bad luck today.

In the early morning, he went to the rocky field of the back mountain to observe the ecology of Xiaoquanshi as usual, but he did not expect to accidentally slip and fall in front of a cave under the rock slope. Curious, Dr. Oki couldn't help but go into the cave to check, but he didn't want to disturb a certain behemoth sleeping in it.

Dr. Oki, who had a bitter face, ran around a corner in embarrassment, and suddenly saw a person not far in front of him.

It was a boy who looked no more than eight or nine years old—a boy, probably, dressed in white, cleanly washed, with short soft purple hair tosled in the wind. The child was looking back at this side, looking a little confused.

There were few visitors from outside the town, and Dr. Ohki was stunned for a moment by the unfamiliar faces. However, the heavy footsteps behind him made him know that there was no time to wander, and immediately pulled his neck and shouted, "Run!"

The people who walked all the way like a track and field champion were familiar to all the residents of Zhenxin Town. Sayo had seen Dr. Oki from afar in the market, and even though the doctor himself had run to the point of blurring motion, she still recognized the other person's identity at a glance.

Without waiting for Saya to react to the meaning of the miserable "run away", Dr. Oki grabbed Saya's hand without saying a word and continued to run desperately.

The sound of footsteps getting closer and closer made Xiao Ye vaguely guess something. She turned her head just in time to see a broad sole poking out of the bend and stomping her neatly stacked tree fruit on the ground into juice.

It was a massive, erect dinosaur-like creature. The heavy surface of the body is covered with armor like steel, and the sharp head horns have long been rotated, as if it wants to wear the human in front of it into a human string.

Diamond horn rhinoceros, drill cone Pokémon, attribute is ground + rock - although it is the first time to see the deity, but combined with its physical characteristics, Xiao Ye quickly recognized its race.

I remember that it was written in the textbook that the drillhorned rhinoceros was very destructive, but its senses were as dull as they were before they evolved, and they were not easily angered. For some reason, the horned rhinoceros that Nighta saw at this moment looked extremely angry, and when it ran, it didn't even dodge the obstacles in front of it, and smashed the branches of the surrounding trees one after another.

It was precisely because the dense trees blocked the drillhorned rhinoceros that Xiao Ye estimated that it would not be able to catch up with him for a while. So, she blinked and completed the usual greeting first, "Hello, Dr. Oki. Nice to meet you. ”

Dr. Ohki: "Whew...... Whew......"

I don't know if he was frightened by the horned rhinoceros or angry by Xiao Ye's untimely lines, but the devastated doctor was stunned and didn't speak.

Seeing that Dr. Oki seemed to be panting rapidly, and felt that he could understand the terrible feelings of an old man being chased by a ferocious beast, he thoughtfully put his hands on Dr. Oki's arms, trying to make the old man run more easily—although the old man's expression seemed to be more strange after doing so, and then asked carefully, "Doctor, what happened?"

Perhaps it was the help from a nine-year-old child who did wonders - the child thought to himself, and Dr. Ohki was not at all speechless this time, and replied without breathing, "I stumbled into the horned rhinoceros lair and accidentally woke it up." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ye looked back at the appearance of the horned rhinoceros that was so angry that he almost lost his mind. As she looked thoughtful, Dr. Ohki suddenly said, "—but I don't think it's just because I woke it up. ”

The old man, who was already making sure that he didn't fall, was the limit, and he didn't look back at the pursuers' leisure, but he still said firmly, "This drill-horned rhinoceros is probably injured." You ......"

"I'm Xiaoye, please advise. ”

"Hmm, Xiaoye, can you see if there is any incongruity in its movements?"

"Yes. Xiao Ye replied, his steps still light, and at the same time carefully observed the appearance of the drill horned rhinoceros.

“...... It has no scars on the front of its body, and its feet are almost the same amount of force on the ground, so I guess if it had been injured, it wouldn't have been on its legs?"

Sayo spoke her guess. Seeing that Dr. Oki nodded in agreement, he continued, "Its posture of swinging its arms is a little stiff, as if it does not dare to turn its body sharply. Could it be a shoulder or back injury?"

"It's supposed to be the back. Dr. Oki analyzed, "The horned rhinoceros has short arms and is covered in hard armor, so if it has a shoulder injury, it can barely deal with it on its own, but if it has a back injury, it can't do anything. ”

"I see. Xiao Ye looked up at Dr. Ohki, "Doctor, what should we do now?"

"The first thing you have to do is determine the extent of the injury, and if it's serious, you have to treat it immediately. Dr. Oki scratched his head in a troubled manner, "It's just that now it can't calm down, and we can't observe, let alone treat......"

Xiao Ye nodded thoughtfully, "That'...... I'm going to see what's going on?"

"What......!?" Before Dr. Oki could react, he felt the hands that were holding him loosen.

The old man watched as the child, with a raw face, turned around and rushed towards the horned rhinoceros beast, and exclaimed in surprise, and suddenly got stuck in his throat. The furious drill-horned rhinoceros couldn't tell who was the human who disturbed his dreams, and when he saw a figure approaching him, he smashed down his head with a silver glittering armhammer.

The picture of Dr. Ohki's fearful "drill horn rhinoceros beating up children" did not happen. The purple-haired girl swerved lightly and let go of the hammer, flickering through the smoke and dust, and in the blink of an eye she was behind the drillhorned rhinoceros.

She saw that the armor behind the beast was covered in scars, and a crack had opened near her left shoulder. A stone spike was stuck in it, and the blood stained on it had turned dark black.

Xiao Ye jumped up without hesitation. Her hand grasped the painful object of the rhinoceros and pulled it outward, sending the stone thorns flying with bright red blood.

The beast let out a roar of pain. It spun around violently and threw its arms behind it, and the girl's toes were already tapping on its heavy back, and the figure fell back a few meters before landing safely.

The angry horned rhinoceros tried to continue the pursuit, but after taking two steps forward, it paused, revealing a somewhat confused look. It moved tentatively, as if sensing something.

The girl spread out her hand and showed the bloodstained stone thorn to the horned rhinoceros.

"I pulled it out so you wouldn't feel bad. The purple-haired girl tilted her head and smiled calmly, as if she wasn't facing a giant beast that could easily hurt her.

"—can we treat you?"

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

Small Theatre:

Dr. Oki: (drags Saya and runs) Run fast and run fast when you're done, don't be overtaken......

Sayo: Hello, Dr. Ohki, it's a pleasure to meet you.

Dr. Ohki, who is bent on running for his life: ......

Sayo: Ah, are you speechless because you're too tired? (Hands together with concern)

Dr. Oki: ............

Sayo: That's it, I'll go see how it goes. (Let go and turn your head and rush towards the horned rhinoceros)

Dr. Ohki, who didn't just decide: .................. Are you mad at me?
