Chapter 19: The Grass Snake and the Frog Seed
"Xiao Mao, are you sure you are going this way?" Xiao Xia looked at Xiao Mao who was walking in front, and then looked at the borderless forest, and asked weakly.
"It should be in this direction. Xiao Mao looked around and frowned slightly. "Did you find your way?" asked Ash, tilting his head slightly, with little strength.
"It's better than staying where you are. Xiao Mao looked at Xiao Zhi, who seemed to be spiritless because he didn't see the elf, and said calmly.
"I said I should go that way!" Ash listened to Shigeru's words and knew that they were lost. Said reluctantly.
"Are you embarrassed to say?" Xiaoxia pinched her waist and shouted, "If it weren't for you stupid, wouldn't we be lost in this forest!"
"It's obvious that you didn't remember the way, so what's the problem with me catching the elf? If it weren't for you, I would have caught it. Ash shouted back unconvinced, just because of Xiaoxia and them, he finally defeated them, and the elf who was about to be subdued took the opportunity to escape.
"Hmph. Xiaoxia snorted coldly, she didn't want to talk to this stupid person. Xiao Gang smiled helplessly, "Don't argue, I see that everyone is tired, just sit down and rest." ”
"Well, take a break. Xiao Mao looked at the sky, the sun was high at the moment, if the group of them was walking down, it would not be good to suffer from heat stroke.
Hearing that it was time to rest, Ash and Pikachu immediately ran under a big tree and sat down. Shigeru sat down under a tree not far from Ash. Xiaoxia and Xiaogang sat together, discussing when they would be able to leave the damn forest.
Shigeru rested calmly, while Eevee wagged his tail a little irritably. Shigeru noticed it and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
Eevee looked at Pikachu, then at Shigeru, and finally as if he had made a decision, he called out softly, "Boo." Then he bit the edge of Xiao Mao's shirt, as if he wanted Xiao Mao to go with him somewhere.
Seeing this, Xiao Mao stood up, thought about it, still carried his backpack, and said to Xiao Zhi, "It seems that something happened to Eevee, I'll go over and take a look." ”
"Eh, then let's go with us, right?" Xiao Gang saw that Ibu was a little anxious, presumably something urgent, so he got up and followed.
"No, I'm going to be faster by myself. Xiao Mao rejected Xiao Gang's offer. He can go a little faster alone, and with a little gang, maybe it will be delayed.
Shigeru motioned for Eevee to lead the way, and Eevee nodded and ran out. Xiao Mao was just about to leave, when he heard Xiao Zhi stop him, Xiao Mao looked back, Xiao Zhi asked, "You really don't need me to go with you?"
"You're only going to make trouble if you come along, okay, I'll go with Ibu first. If anything, I'll call you. Xiao Mao smiled, ignored Ash, who was angry with him, and ran directly behind Ievee and left with Ibu.
Pikachu stood up and looked in the direction of Eevee, a little worry in his eyes. It seemed to smell a faint, bloody smell. But it's a bit far away, and it can't tell if it's human or elf blood, hoping that Eevee and Shigeru can find it/him.
Ash also looked in the direction that Shigeru left, and there was a little worry in his eyes. And Xiao Gang saw Xiao Zhi's expression, so he said, "Don't worry, Xiao Mao, he is very measured, and he will be fine." ”
"That's right, Xiao Mao still has Eevee. It's going to be fine. Xiaoxia also comforted Xiao Zhi, who rarely showed a different feeling.
"I didn't worry about him. Ash replied unconvinced. Where is he worried about Xiao Mao, he just ...... It's just that suddenly I'm not used to it. After all, in the past few days of traveling, he and Xiaomao have not been separated much.
Seeing Xiaozhi's hard mouth, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang both smiled helplessly. At the same time, he silently prayed for Xiao Mao, and Ibu just found something he wanted Xiao Mao to see.
Here, Xiaomao went to the depths of the forest under the leadership of Eevee, and occasionally saw some traps laid by humans, frowning slightly. And Eevee was urging Xiao Mao from time to time, Xiao Mao suppressed the doubts in his heart and followed Eevee to a tree.
There was an injured elf lying under the tree, which was a rare elf in the Guandu area, the Grass Teng Snake1. Xiao Mao hurriedly ran over and looked at the grass snake lying on its side, the leaves at the end of its tail lying on the ground weakly, obviously losing a lot of energy.
Xiao Mao stretched out his hand to try to see where the grass teng snake was injured, but he didn't expect the grass teng snake to be unexpectedly vigilant, and when he opened his eyes, his brown eyes were full of vigilance, and from the side of his neck, a bit like a small yellow wing, a turquoise rattan whip stretched out. Apparently warning Xiaomao.
"I have no malice, you are injured and need treatment, I have medicine for injuries here, please allow me to help you with medicine, okay?" Xiao Mao looked at the grass snake, he knew that although the grass snake had a withdrawn temperament, he was smart and calm, and he should be able to see his sincerity.
"Booie, Booy. Eevee also persuaded a little impatiently, this little elf was obviously holding on, and if he didn't treat it, he was afraid that his life would be in danger.
"Da moo. The snake's whip was still restlessly suspended.
Xiao Mao knew that the grass snake was injured now, and he would definitely not believe humans lightly. He took off his backpack, took out the wound medicine, opened the bottle cap, and placed it not far from the grass snake. "You're a grass elf, so you should be familiar with the taste of herbs. It's hurt medicine, and I'm not going to do anything superfluous. Please trust me, okay?"
The grass snake sniffed, and finally looked at Xiao Mao, and saw the pleading in Xiao Mao's eyes. With a light nodding, he withdrew his rattan whip and sat up, revealing his injured tail.
When Xiao Mao saw the wound on his tail, he understood why the grass snake lost its energy so quickly. The injury is indeed much more serious, and it must have been the wound left by accidentally stepping on a human trap.
Xiao Mao carefully sprayed the wound medicine on the wound where the blood had clotted, and carefully observed the reaction of the grass snake. Wrap it with gauze and fasten the buttons. Said to the grass snake, "Okay, however, the injury is very serious, I will build yì You should go to the Pokémon Center to find Miss Joy to have a look, it's better." ”
"Da Moo" Cao Teng Snake raised his chin slightly, looking arrogant, Xiao Mao couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this. The character of the grass snake is not an ordinary tsundere. "Be careful next time, I believe that with your cleverness, you won't step on those traps lightly. ”
"Da Mo!" the grass snake raised its chin, how could it be so lightly hit?
"Yes, I see. However, it is still necessary to recuperate, although it is said that it is medicated, but it is not easy to fight with other elves. Otherwise the wound will open open, though I want to take you with me. But you won't take it lightly, will you?" Xiao Mao didn't know why this grass snake appeared here. But according to the character of the grass teng snake, he must have left the trainer automatically, right? This is the matter of the grass teng snake, and he is embarrassed to ask too much.
"Da-moo, -da-moo, da-moo...... Da moo da moo. The grass snake wagged its tail slightly, and then stretched out a rattan whip and put it on Xiao Mao's wrist.
"You mean you don't have a trainer, you want to come with me?" Xiao Mao looked at the grass snake suspiciously, how could he not know that the grass snake was so easy to crutch? But the next moment, Xiao Mao understood what the grass snake meant. The snake pointed at its injured tail with a rattan whip, it was now weak and needed to be cared for. And Xiao Mao happened to find it at this moment, so let's do it to the end.
Xiao Mao smiled, although he didn't get this snake, it was good to make a friend. So Xiao Mao smiled and said, "You mean, let me take care of you until your injuries are healed, right?"
"Da moo. The snake nodded slightly, and its tail wagged slightly. Obviously, Xiaomao can understand what it means, and makes it very happy.
"So, I'll just introduce myself. I'm Shigeru, and this is my partner Eevee. Xiao Mao introduced himself to the grass snake. And the grass snake raised his chin slightly, and introduced himself to them, "Da Moo." ”
"Bouie. Ibu also introduced himself succinctly, and did not speak again.
Looking at the two of Shaoyan, Xiao Mao sighed lightly, this atmosphere that has become heavy is really a little weird. "Well, then, I'll take you to my fellow men. They are also all pixie lovers, so you don't have to worry about being attacked. By the way, do you know that there are people around here?"
"Da Moo" The grass snake pointed in a direction with a rattan whip, where there was a human, treating the elf's injuries. It never been, though.
"Oh, thank you, Grass Snake. Xiao Mao thanked him, and the grass snake responded by raising his chin. Eevee walked in front and led the way for Shigeru. When Xiao Mao found Xiao Zhi and them, Xiao Zhi happily ran over and shouted, "Xiao Mao, do you know, I saw the wonderful frog seed and walking grass just now!"
"Oh, then you're convinced?" Xiao Mao asked subconsciously after hearing Ash's words.
"No...... That wonderful frog seed is amazing. Xiao Zhi was afraid that Xiao Mao would not believe it, so he nodded very hard. Nodding, he suddenly found a strange elf in Xiao Mao's arms, and asked, "Xiao Mao, is this?"
"This is a grass snake, which is very rare in the Guandu area. Xiao Mao helped the grass Teng snake to make an introduction. At this time, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang also ran over, and after Xiaoxia saw the appearance of the grass snake, she immediately said softly, "What a cute elf." ”
"yes, but it seems to be badly injured?" Xiao Gang glanced at the base of the grass snake's bandaged tail.
"Well, I've drugged it before, but I'm still a little worried. And the grass snake is weak and has no strength now, I want it to stay with us for a while, and when the injury is healed, let it decide to stay. Xiao Mao looked at the grass snake in his arms, and the grass snake was basking in the sun in Xiao Mao's arms with his eyes closed. smiled helplessly, while Ash and Xiaoxia were shouting over there, to compete fairly.
Pikachu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shigeru and them coming back safely, and after seeing Eevee, he took the initiative to ask Eevee what had happened. Ibrahimovic recounted the matter briefly. Pikachu nodded in understanding. At this time, Xiao Mao opened his mouth and said, "Caoteng snake tells me, there are people living around here, how about we go over and ask for directions?"
"That's fine, Ash Xiaoxia, what do you think?" Xiao Gang nodded, thinking that Xiao Mao's mention was very good, Xiao Ash had no opinion, Xiao Xia's opinion was mainly on Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi didn't speak, Xiao Xia naturally had no opinion.
It's not that Xiaoxia is biased, but that Ash succeeds in moving the good road they took to an unknown path every time, and then causes them to get lost. If it weren't for people like Xiao Mao, they would have been lost in the forest a long time ago, and they didn't know when they would be able to get out.
Shigeru took Ash and the others to the place where he had just picked up the Grass Snake, and at the same time told them to carefully avoid some traps, and took Ash and them towards the path that the Grass Snake had pointed out for them.
In addition to showing Xiao Mao and them, the grass snake spends most of his time enjoying the sun with his eyes closed. Xiao Mao knew that the grass snake needed to accumulate sunlight so that it could recover faster. Therefore, try to walk in a place where there are no trees to let the grass snake absorb more sunlight.
When Shigeru and the others saw a small wooden house, Ash and the others understood that they could finally get out of the forest. Quickening his pace, he came out of the forest and saw a beautiful maiden squatting by the pond, washing the elf's body.
"Hello, can you excuse me?" said Shigeru politely. The girl turned around, and when she saw Xiao Zhi and his party, she was slightly stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Xiao Cui, you can just call me Xiao Cui." ”
"Hello Miss Xiaocui, I'm Xiaomao, this is Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia......" Just about to introduce Xiaogang, Xiaogang instantly rushed to Xiaocui and said, "I'm Xiaogang, can you please have a cup of afternoon tea with me?"
"Eh?!" Xiao Mao and the others looked at Xiao Gang in a daze, and Xiao Cui was obviously taken aback, and then smiled awkwardly, "I think it may not work, I want to prepare medicine for these elves." ”
"Ah, what a loving Miss Cui......" Before Xiao Gang finished praising it, Xiao Xia shouted happily after seeing those water elves at the water's edge, "Wow, there are so many elves! Are these all your elves?"
"No, it's full of injured elves who need to be taken care of. Cui shook her head, she was just taking care of the elves.
"Isn't that a bit like a sprite's retreat?" Xiao Gang asked.
"Pretty much. Some of them are pokemon abandoned by the trainers, and some are injured wild pokemon, and I gather them together to heal their wounds in body and mind. Xiao Cui explained to Xiao Zhi and the others with a smile.
"So, Miss Xiaocui is the nurse of the Pokémon Center?"
"No, I don't have that qualification. I just use folk remedies, where elves don't need to fight, they can heal their injuries, motivate each other with their peers, and live together. I only treat their injuries once in a while," Miss Cui introduced to Ash what she could do.
Xiao Zhi nodded as if he didn't understand, while Xiao Xia looked at Xiao Cui with admiration. Xiao Mao looked down at the grass snake in his arms, a little puzzled, he knew that there was such a place, why didn't he come to treat it?
And the grass snake felt Xiao Mao's doubts, raised his chin, opened his mouth and said softly, "Da moo, da-da-da." ”
"Is it an accident this time? Don't be with the weak? So, do you think I'm a strong person?" Xiao Mao couldn't help but ask with a smile after listening to the words of the grass snake.
"Da moo. The grass snake opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Mao, then turned his head and said softly.
"Is it improvised, or is it barely eye-catching?" Xiao Mao chuckled. "I can interpret this as if you don't want to stay here to recuperate, so I can take you out of the forest?"
"Da Moo!" the grass snake opened its eyes and swept the elf in the pond so that it would not become so discouraged.
"Yes, I see. Mao looked at the elves in the pond, because it was so safe that the elves had lost their fighting spirit. Well, how much of it is human fault?
Over there, Xiao Gang had already pisted Xiao Cui to ask what he could do to help, and Xiao Zhi's explanation for this was that Xiao Gang liked to take care of the elves. And Xiaoxia's explanation is that what Xiao Gang likes is not elves, but Miss Xiaocui, right?
And Xiao Gang, who happened to come back, was worried that Miss Xiaocui would hear it, so he immediately went over and covered Xiaoxia's mouth and said, "It's not like that, don't say it, don't say it, shut up." ”
Xiaoxia broke free and shouted softly, "I hate it, it hurts!"
Ash looked at Xiao Gang who was excited for some reason, and Pikachu also looked at Xiao Gang with a look of surprise. This is the first time I've seen Xiao Gang out of control!
When Xiao Cui heard the movement here and walked over, Xiao Gang calmed down. Xiao Mao opened his mouth and asked, "Miss Xiao Cui, may I ask who set the trap in the forest?"
"Well, that's what our village did in order to keep the elf trainers from getting close. It was just a small means of self-defense. Cui explained to Ash.
"Hey?" exclaimed Kasumi, and Miss Emerald continued, "Look, there are so many elves here. ”
Xiao Mao and Xiao Zhi looked over, and there were at least twenty elves in their eyes, which was indeed a bit excessive. After chatting, Xiao Mao discussed the wound medicine with Xiao Cui, and Xiao Gang planned to collect antidote herbs for Xiao Cui. At the same time, tell Xiaoxia and Ash that you can't catch elves here.
Xiaoxia smiled strangely, "Even if it's for your beloved Miss Xiaocui." was hit in the head by the red-faced Xiao Gang. Complaining about the pain, Xiaoxia joked again, "Blushing into a tomato!" and was hit hard by Xiaogang again.
And Xiao Zhi didn't have much spirit, "That's all it takes." And Xiaoxia rubbed her head and said, "We won't smash it here." "Whether it's for Xiao Gang's warning or Xiao Cui's kindness, they won't act rashly here.
When Mao discusses with Emerald how to heal the elves, Ash and Kasumi volunteer to take care of the elves that Emerald is cared for. And Xiaoxia also found the walking grass they met before and apologized to the walking grass.
Ash went over to talk to Xiaoxia, but they quarreled again. At this time, a wonderful frog seed rushed over and knocked down Xiaoxia. Xiao Mao and Xiao Cui both saw the situation here, saw the obvious attack posture of Miao Frog Seed, and then saw that Xiao Zhi and Xiao Xia were also slightly angry.
Xiao Cui hurriedly ran over to stop it, and said that the reason why Miao Frog Seeds rushed out was to protect the walking grass, and this village was protected by Miao Frog Seeds.
And the Wonderful Frog Seed ran under Ash's leg and pushed Ash while Cui and Ash were talking. Seeing this, Xiao Mao couldn't help but smile faintly in his eyes, is this fate?
Cui and Xia apologize to Frog Seed while stopping Frog Seed's attack. And Ash looked at the wonderful frog seed, muttered to himself for a while, and then smiled and said, "Good guy, I want it more and more." But thinking of not being able to do it, Ash felt a little regretful.
Then a large shadow gradually appeared in the sky, and the wonderful frog seed stopped. Everyone looked up at the sky, even the grass snake in Xiao Mao's arms.
A strange large disc, like the roof of a building, fell from the sky, and the trio of Team Rocket stood on it, and Ash subconsciously asked, "What is that?" ”
"Since you have asked a question sincerely, we will answer you with great mercy. Musashi spoke. Kojiro, on the other hand, interrupted, "Okay, don't play this game today." ”
Xiao Mao looked at Team Rocket and thought suspiciously, are they finally willing to change their approach?
Musashi smiled awkwardly, meow meow control zhì disc, opened a device, and stretched out a large water pipe from the bottom of the disc, with great suction, making Xiao Mao and the others a little unsteady.
Xiao Mao hugged the grass snake in his arms, squatted down and hugged Yibu in his arms, and when he saw the grass snake looking at him, he whispered sorry. So he took the two of them and walked in the direction of the wooden house.
Ash also hugged the starfish and prepared to walk towards the cabin. However, the suction of the water pipe was too strong, and the weight of the walking grass was too light, so it was sucked over, but fortunately, the Miao Frog Seed was dragged with a rattan whip in time.
Ash handed the starfish to Xia, and then went to help the Frog Seed, while also cheering up the Frog Seed. The Wonderful Frog Seed was stunned for a moment, and then returned to the wooden house with the walking grass little by little with Ash.
After some discussion in the house, the frog seed climbed onto the roof and used a rattan whip on the water pipe, knocking it off. Ash runs out and lets Bibi Bird use Tempest.
Bibi Bird fanned its wings against the strange structure, creating a large amount of wind force that eventually converged into a whirlwind and moved in the direction of Team Rocket.
The whirlwind swept up the three Rocket and the strange structure, slowly moving into the distance. I can faintly hear 'I feel so nasty'.
When the matter passed, Xiao Cui suddenly entrusted the Miao Frog Seed to Ash, because the Miao Frog Seed continued to stay here, it would never become stronger, and the seed on her back would not grow, and she wanted Xiao Zhi to take the Miao Frog Seed to the outside world. Ash went from surprise to surprise. And the Wonderful Frog Seed also declared war on Ash, and Ash responded.
Ash sent Pikachu and Frog Seed to fight. Pikachu was very confident, but at first he let the vine whip of the wonderful frog seed and the right amount of collision to clean it up.
Although there were occasional counterattacks, he was still grabbed by the Miao Frog Seed with a rattan whip and smashed twice to the ground. Just when Xiao Mao wondered what Ash was thinking, Ash finally ordered Pikachu, "Pikachu, use 100,000 volts." ”
Pikachu unleashed 100,000 volts and ran the rattan whip all the way to the frog seed. The whole body of the wonderful frog seed was numb, and it was unable to roll over on its side. Ash takes the opportunity to throw out the Poké Ball, and the lights go out with a 'bang'. Ash successfully subdues the Frog Seed.
After a short small talk, ask Ash and his party about leaving the forest road and prepare to leave. After Xiao Cui smiled and said goodbye to Miao Frog Seed, Xiao Gang said that he wanted to stay here instead of Miao Frog Seed, but Xiao Cui refused with a smile.
Looking at Xiao Gang's depressed expression, Xiao Mao smiled helplessly, and then left with Xiao Ash and them. Ash and Frog Seed exchanged feelings, and Mao led the way for Ash with a faint smile on the corner of his lips. In Xiao Mao's arms, the grass snake looked at Xiao Mao without a trace, and then looked at Eevee who was walking with Pikachu behind Xiao Mao, and finally raised his chin and continued to sleep.
As for the back, Xiaoxia asked Xiao Gang if she had just confessed to Miss Xiaocui and was covered again. Ash, on the other hand, asked strangely, "What are they doing?"
Xiao Mao looked at Xiao Zhi and sighed helplessly, sure enough, he was sluggish. "Nothing. ”
"And when can we leave?" Ash asked. "Wait until they've had enough of 7. Xiao Mao looked at the sun, anyway, it was still early, so it was okay to let the grass snake absorb more sunlight. By the time Xiaoxia and Xiaogang had had enough, it was already after lunch when they could finally embark on the journey. Looking at the seemingly endless forest, I don't know how many days it will take to get out according to their progress......
