Chapter 16: Pipsqueak and the Moon Stone
The two sides stalemate for a while, and finally ended with Pikachu running out of power. The big rock snake roared and tightened its tail hard. Pikachu let out a groan of pain. Just when Ash couldn't stand Pikachu being so uncomfortable anymore and was thinking about whether to give up, Xiao Gang asked the big rock snake to stop. Ash was puzzled and asked, "Why did you call it a stop? ”
Xiao Gang replied, "It's useless to fight any longer, your elf doesn't have any chance of winning." ”
Ash was reluctant to say something, but he knew that what the other party said was right. Xiao Mao looked at Ash who was so unwilling, and guessed that this unwillingness would make Ash challenge again, right?
At this time, suddenly the fire hydrant was opened. A large amount of water was sprinkled from the canopy, and the large rock snake let out a roar of pain, and Pikachu was also awakened by the sudden water.
At this time, Xiaoxia spoke, "Ash, take advantage of now." Rock-based elves are the most afraid of water. ”
When Ash heard this, he hurriedly shouted "Pikachu"
Pikachu understood what Ash meant, "Pikachu!" and used the greatest strength, the water conductive property, and did not consume too much electricity, and hit the big rock snake. The big rock snake fell to the ground, and Xiao Gang shouted worriedly, "Big rock snake!"
Just when Ash shouted that Pikachu was going to give the big rock snake the final blow, Ash was pulled back. Xiao Mao looked at the children below and sighed, what a fast speed.
After hearing Ash's stupid words, Xiao Mao suddenly felt that if he continued to travel with Ash like this, he would definitely develop towards facial paralysis......
And Xiaoxia shouted helplessly over there, "No, Ash, these are real people......"
One of the boys, who hung around Ash's neck, said, 'Don't bully the big rock snake that your brother has worked so hard to bring.' Ash said helplessly, he didn't bully, this is the game.
And Xiao Gang also showed that this is an official competition. Later, Tong Guò Xiaogang's sister learned that Xiao Gang had just let the big rock snake stop, and Xiao Zhi, who also loved elves, looked at Xiao Gang in surprise.
Ash asks Pikachu to come back, and although Pikachu doesn't understand why, he still obediently runs over. Ash put all the children on his body down, and Ash wondered why Ash did this. Ash said that the water leak was an accident and could not be counted.
I was a little dissatisfied that Ash actually listened to Xiaoxia's words and attacked obediently, but when I heard Ash say this, I couldn't help but shake my head, I actually suspected that this stupid person would take advantage of others, and sure enough, I still don't know too much......? No, it won't.
Ash and Pikachu walked out, and Shigeru glanced at Xiaoxia, who complained helplessly, smiled, and left the gym with Eevee, following behind Ash and Pikachu. Vaguely audible, Ash apologized to Pikachu, and Pikachu replied softly.
Then he heard Xiao Gang's shout behind him, Xiao Mao and Xiao Zhi turned around at the same time, looking at Xiao Gang in confusion. Xiao Gang said, "Ash, you forgot this. ”
Xiao Mao walked over, saw the badge in Xiao Gang's hand, and then looked at Xiao Zhi. Ash was also slightly puzzled and said, "This is the Gym badge that defeated the regional trainer, I didn't defeat you, I can't accept this." And later, he actually planned to abstain.
"No, actually, I lost. Xiao Gang opened his mouth and denied Xiao Zhi's remarks. "Whether it's in battle, or in the love for the elves. Under Ash's somewhat stunned gaze, Xiao Gang walked not far away, "Actually, I think cultivation is more important than letting elves fight." I want to be not the world's No. 1 trainer, but the world's No. 1 breeder. ”
Xiao Gang said his dream, and Xiao Mao and Xiao Zhi looked at Xiao Gang. And Xiao Gang said regretfully, "I have to take care of my younger brothers and sisters, so there is no way to leave this city." So, I would like to ask you to take my place and achieve my dream. Are you willing to accept this badge?" Xiao Gang looked at Xiao Zhi 'seriously'.
After listening to Xiao Gang's words, Ash felt that he had a reason to accept this badge, so he agreed. Xiao Mao frowned, didn't Xiao Gang travel with Xiao Zhi? Why did he entrust his dream to Xiao Zhi now?
Just as Ash took away the first gym badge in his life, Uncle Wu Neng suddenly appeared. And let Xiao Gang chase his dreams. Xiao Mao looked at Wu Neng, then at Xiao Gang, and asked, "Uncle Wu Neng, you are Xiao Gang's father, right?"
"Well, your vision is very sharp, yes, I am Xiao Gang's irresponsible father. Wu Neng nodded in acknowledgement.
Ash asked suspiciously, "Then you help me ......?"
"Because you're so much like me at the time, there's no hope at all. Wu Neng replied that he also embarked on the journey with such expectations.
Xiao Mao looked at Xiao Zhi, patted Xiao Zhi's shoulder, and said, "Although compared to me, you are not half a star worse, but according to your growth. It's not that bad. ”
Pikachu looked at Shigeru outside, and Eevee glanced at Ash who had regained his vitality. Sure enough, compared to his own trainer, Pikachu's trainer is really not half a star.
Here, Xiao Zhi wants to compete with Xiao Mao to prove his strength. Over there, Xiao Gang and his father Wu Nengshun completed the connection. As for the content of the connection, you can write a book called "The Family Has a Master 'Husband'".
It wasn't until evening that Ash and his party set off for the next city. Naturally, at the same time, they added a partner named Xiao Gang. And Ash's attitude is that it doesn't matter if he adds one or two people. And Xiao Mao's attitude was that he finally understood why Xiao Xia had such a ridiculous tone when she said Xiao Zhi's first badge that year...... Luck is really good......
After walking for a while, Xiao Gang felt strange, so he asked Xiao Zhi and Xiao Mao, who were walking in front, why did that girl follow them? Xiao Mao smiled a little awkwardly, and just wanted to explain, Xiao Xia behind him shouted, "Xiao Zhi, when will you pay for my bicycle." ”
Ash looked at Xiao Mao suspiciously, "Didn't you compensate her?"
"You ran away from her, how can I compensate. Xiao Mao originally wanted to explain, but thinking that Xiao Xia was not bad to follow them, he asked Xiao Zhi rhetorically. Anyway, with Ash's character, he will definitely be idle and don't ask more.
"Ahh Gone, Pikachu. When Ash heard this, he felt a little annoyed, whispered to Pikachu behind him, and then ran away.
Xiao Mao looked at Eevee, and the two chased after him helplessly. And Xiao Gang, who decided to travel with Xiao Zhi, naturally chased after him. And as the owner of the account, Xiaoxia naturally chased after her.
When stepping on a certain piece of 'ground', Xiao Mao asked suspiciously, "Just now, did you step on something?" Xiao Zhi said that Xiao Mao was suspicious, while Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia said that they didn't pay too much attention. Eevee wanted to tell the guys that they had stepped on the Rockets. But thinking of what happened before, there was still no need for them to ask for trouble, so Eevee chose to remain silent.
As a result, the Rockets lost a chance to come to the rescue. And because it was too late, they were in the forest, in view of the fact that it was not safe to walk at night, Xiao Zhi and they were ready to rest, during the rest, when Xiao Mao bent over, the necklace was exposed from the clothes, Xiao Zhi happened to see it, and asked suspiciously, "Xiao Mao, have you changed the necklace?" Looks like my aesthetic is pretty good. After saying that, Ash couldn't help but become proud.
The corners of Xiao Mao's mouth twitched, he had been carrying it for almost two weeks, and this guy actually saw it! Should you say that he was dull, or should you say that he never took his old enemy to heart? "It's just that this necklace is better with clothes, and besides, are you sure you chose it yourself and not recommended by others?"
"It was recommended by Aunt Ryoko, so what, I chose it anyway. Ash shouted confidently.
"I'll guess you didn't pick it yourself. Xiao Mao shrugged his shoulders with a helpless expression of 'you see this is the way it is'. Xiao Zhi's teeth were itching, and finally he pointed to his hat helplessly and said, "Isn't this hat not personally selected by you?" ”
"But, that's because I know your preferences......" Before Xiao Mao could finish speaking, Xiao Zhi quickly interrupted, "I'm also based on your preferences!"
"What do I like?" Xiao Mao was suddenly stunned when he was said, he wore a necklace, the first one was because he liked elves, and his grandfather gave him a pendant with half the function, and later it was a habit. When did it become a hobby?
"Don't you always carry a necklace with a stone pendant? Ash's 'I'm not wrong' look made Xiao Mao smile helplessly, and asked jokingly, "Then do you know what that pendant is?"
"What is it?" Ash asked.
"That's a pendant with half the function, and it's an elf prop that my grandfather gave me. Speaking of this, Xiao Mao suddenly remembered that Eevee's evolutionary type was easily affected by environmental factors, and it seemed that he was going to find an immutable stone to restrain Eevee's premature evolution.
"What's that?" Ash asked curiously. And because Xiao Mao was thinking about Eevee, he replied, "You may not understand it." Angry Xiaozhi turned his head and ignored Xiaomao.
The neglected Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia glanced at each other, and finally said good night helplessly, and went to rest. It's just that before Xiaoxia went to rest, she glanced at Xiao Zhi and Xiao Mao, who were very close, why did she always feel that something was wrong?
Xiaoxia, who couldn't get an answer for a while, fell asleep in a daze, and Ash and Xiaomao also went back to their sleeping bags to sleep. Pikachu and Eevee huddled together, covered with a small quilt.
When the sun rises, Xiao Gang cooks, Xiao Zhi and Xiao Mao will go to find firewood, and Xiao Xia stays with Xiao Gang because she is afraid of insects. After breakfast, after discovering that the next gym was in Hualan City, he set his sights on Hualan City.
In this way, they took a shortcut under the leadership of Xiao Mao. Xiao Mao said that they would pass by Mt. Tsukimi later, and because Xiao Gang lived in Nibi City, he still knew a little bit about the name of Mt. Tsukimi.
Because of Ash and Xiaoxia's inquiry, Xiao Mao said some things about Tsukimi Mountain, and naturally also talked about the evolution of Pippi 1 and Moon Stone.
As they walked, Pikachu suddenly stood up, and Shigeru and Ash also heard the subtle sound and ran over. I saw a person in a white coat who seemed to be a researcher holding his head in his hands, and there were a lot of supersonic bats flying in the sky.2 Ash took out the illustrated book, and after listening to the introduction of the supersonic bats, he asked a question that was not a problem. was shouted by Xiaoxia, "What are you still in a daze, hurry up and save that person!"
Ash, who was reminded, thought that now was not the time to discuss that matter, and said, "Pikachu, electric shock." ”
Pikachu's cheeks flashed yellow lightning, and then a golden bolt of lightning slashed at the sonic bats, which were attacked, and then flew towards the cave in swarms.
Ash and Pikachu hurried over to see if the man was okay. And Xiao Mao noticed that Xiao Gang had a hand to catch a supersonic bat, Xiao Mao commented with his own experience, Xiao Gang's vision is good, this is indeed a group of supersonic bats with good qualifications.
As soon as he finished judging, Shigeru saw Ash being held by the researcher, and narrowed his eyes in displeasure. After seeing Pikachu's electric light, Xiao Mao happily thought that seeing Pikachu so well-behaved, he would provide a force for Pikachu's training list.
When the young man, who was suspected of being a researcher, finished saying a string of words that seemed to be hot-blooded but actually loved elves, Ash only grasped the key point and asked, "Why uncle, are you being attacked by supersonic bats?"
However, the other party did not appreciate it, and took the topic a little off, refuted his uncle's remarks, and told them that his name was Nika, and he was a researcher of Love and Courage at the Science Museum in Nibi City.
Ash and the others looked at Nika silently, while Shigeru was wondering if he knew the guys from Team Rocket?
After introducing herself, Nika took Ash and the others into a cave not far away, the cave was brightly lit, and many elves gathered together without much energy.
Xiao Mao frowned slightly and looked around, the ecology here was destroyed by Yan zhòng, because of the mystery of the evolution of Pippi. As Shigeru thought about this, Nika explained to Ash why the ecology of this place had been so damaged. The accuracy of Xiao Mao's conjecture is because of the moon stone.
As for what Nika said later, Xiao Mao didn't pay attention, what he paid attention to was the hand that was holding Ash. Although he understands what happens when two hot-blooded idiots get together. But...... It's okay to hug and hug, but now what's the situation with holding hands?
Xiao Mao silently looked at the hands of Ash and Nika, while Xiao Xia looked at Xiao Mao with doubts in her eyes. It's just that they didn't last long, and one of them, holding the stone Pippi, ran over lightly.
Xiao Mao introduced Pippi to Xiao Xia, and Xiao Xia looked at the pink Pippi very excitedly, and said excitedly, "It's so cute!"
And Xiao Zhi, although he heard Xiao Mao's introduction, he still subconsciously took out the illustrated book to compare. Xiao Mao is used to this.
After reading the illustrated book, Ash planned to take Pipsqueak into custody, but as soon as he took out the Poke Ball, he was stopped by Nikara. Xiao Mao was puzzled by Ash's habitual behavior of throwing out Poké Balls, this seemed to be the fourth time he saw Ash throw Poke Balls and accept them directly, right?
At this moment, Pipsqueak suddenly let out a frightened cry, and Ash and the others hurriedly ran over, and then saw Meowth meow intimidating Pipsqueak.
When Meow Meow saw Ash and the others, her expression became a little surprised, and she asked, "Why are you all here?" and Ash replied, "This sentence should be what I am going to say." ”
Pikachu and Eevee took advantage of the confrontation between Ash and Meow Meow and ran to Pipsqueak's side to communicate with Pipsqueak, telling him that they would protect him. Pipsqueak nodded.
When Tsuyoshi and Ash decide to confront Team Rocket, Kojiro and Musashi come out of the shadows and speak those slightly longer lines. And after they finished speaking, Ash couldn't help but complain, "I say the same lines every time, can I change the set?"
And Kojiro over there cooperated with Musashi and successfully annoyed Ash and them. Ash said to Mao, "Mao, Pippi, they'll be handed over to you." Take Xiaoxia and them away. Leave it to us here. ”
Xiao Mao thought about it, the strength of the Rocket Team is not strong, although Xiao Zhi's strength still needs to be improved, but Xiao Gang, as a gym trainer, is not weak. It shouldn't be a problem to deal with Team Rocket. Thinking like this, Xiao Mao agreed.
Ash used the Ba Da Butterfly, while Xiao Gang used the supersonic bat he had just caught. Kojiro gave the order to the gas bomb and let the gas bomb use smoke, but Ash and Kogang teamed up to blow the smoke to Musashi and Kojiro's side, which happened to block Musashi's view. Shigeru and Kasumi looked at each other, nodded lightly, and left the cave with Nika and Pipsqueak.
Pipsqueak jumped easily. Xiaomao and Xiaoxia, as well as Nika laboriously lying on the mountain. Eevee also climbed at first, but Shigeru climbed it and fell, so he let it stay on his shoulder.
It's just that he hasn't climbed for long, Pipsqueak suddenly jumped down from it, and Xiaoxia was in the middle of it, and then Xiaoxia accidentally dragged Xiaomao and Nika, and the three of them fell into the water.
As Meowth prepares to attack Pipsqueak and Nika, Kasumi throws out the Poké Ball in spite of it. This is where there is water, and this is her territory. The red light flashed, and a brown starfish appeared in front of Xiaoxia. Xiaoxia quickly ordered, "Starfish 3." Use high-speed stars. ”
Meowth was a little stunned by the shining star, and at this time, Xiaoxia ordered again, and the starfish used a water gun. The water column is poured directly into Meowmeow's mouth, creating an artificial Meow Meow Water Balloon, and then spraying water and flying away. At this time, Ash and Gang ran over and asked if they were okay.
Xiaoxia said proudly: "That kind of small role is not my Miss Xiaoxia's opponent at all." ”
Seeing that they were fine, Ash pulled Xiao Mao and them ashore again. Later, everyone sat together, Xiao Gang took out the elf food, Xiao Mao and Nika tasted it, and it was really good. It's just that after Ash eats it, the whole person is a little stiff, and Xiao Gang said, "I think, that doesn't meet human taste......
After feeding Ba Da Butterflies and Sonic Bat, Ash and the others see Pikachu and Eevee talking to Pippi. Most of the time Pikachu was talking, Eevee was listening, and Pipsqueak was answering something from time to time.
Ash couldn't help but say, "Shigeru, you see Pikachu is very good at making friends." ”
"Yes. Xiao Mao nodded, since following Xiao Zhi, he has become more lively, and he is not so hostile to humans. Ke ib it...... Hopeful time and your own care can make it no longer haunted by the past.
Suddenly, Pipsqueak stands up and runs to the right, while Pikachu and Eevee chase after him. Shigeru and Ash looked at each other, and finally decided to chase after each other. The other three followed.
It was getting dark, and the round moon hung high above it, so that the night was not dark. Ash and the five of them followed the three elves until they came to a cave and walked in with Pipsqueak.
When he saw it, it was a strange stone that sparkled in the moonlight, and when Nika saw it, he said, "That's the body of the moon stone over there." ”
Just as everyone was emotional, Xiao Mao couldn't help but ask, "Nika, do you mind if I record a video?" because, you know, the incredible things that happened to the elves are so important to us researchers. I'll give you a copy when I'm done. At the same time, I just wanted to study that I wouldn't show this footage to anyone else who had nothing to do until I had researched it. ”
Nika looked at Shigeru in shock, "You're a researcher?"
"I'm going to be a researcher. Xiao Mao replied. It's just that Xiao Mao's answer made Ash ask puzzled, "Then aren't you going to become a Pokemon trainer?"
"When did I say I was going to be a trainer?" asked Shigeru with an eyebrow.
"You're my old enemy. Ash replied as a matter of course.
"I just admit that you're my nemesis, but I didn't say I'm going to be a trainer. My dream is to become a researcher like my grandfather. Xiao Mao said the goal of his life. And Ash was a little confused and fell into a state of confusion. Nika said after hearing Shigeru's words, "Yes, but can I ask you, who is your grandfather?"
"Dr. Ohki. Shigeru replied. The one who became a doctor and was authoritative was his grandfather, Dr. Ohki. Nika held Xiaomao a little excitedly, and just wanted to speak, Xiaozhi said, "Look, what is Pippi doing?"
Everyone looked over, and Xiao Mao saw that Pipsqueak was about to put the moon stone in his hand, so he hurriedly took off his backpack, took out the notebook in the backpack, and reversed the camera. I was debugging the configuration, and finally after Pipsqueak put it on, before I left, I started recording.
Xiao Mao turned to Xiao Zhi and whispered to them, "Be quiet, if your noise is involved, it may affect the integrity of the information." ”
Xiao Gang said he understood, but Xiao Zhi nodded as if he didn't understand. He was still a little unaccustomed to this kind of rigorous Xiaomao......
When Pipsqueak finished placing the moonstone, the huge moonstone emitted a faint glow, and many of them walked from the corner to the light.
After thanking Ash again, Pipsqueak began their ritual around the Moonstone. Ash whispers what happened to Pikachu, and Pikachu and Pipsqueak run over and play a guessing game for Ash.
After listening to their conversation, Xiaomao pulled out his notebook and wrote on the blank page that Pipsqueak had gathered a lot of moon stones to protect their gods. Xiao Mao thought for a while, and then circled the moon stone again. Then he put the notebook away.
Nika walked over and begged Shigeru not to let the video flow into society, but Shigeru agreed, and said the reason why he recorded it, "My main research topic is the mystery of the evolution of Pokemon, and I suspect that the Moon Stone will cause Pipsqueak to evolve." But it seems that maybe I guessed wrong. ”
Xiao Mao knew that the Moon Stone would make Pipsqueak evolve, and he also knew from Xiao Xia's side. Listening to her, at this time, Team Rocket will come to steal the moon stone, right?And after Nika heard Xiao Mao's words, he patted Xiao Mao on the shoulder and said, "What a great goal, if that's the case, I support you." ”
"Thank you. Xiao Mao nodded. Just as he was wondering why Team Rocket hadn't come yet, Team Rocket appeared at the exit, and Xiao Mao calmly packed up his things. Strap on your backpack and watch as Nika is provoked by Meow and rushes over and trips. Xiao Gang used the big rock snake, and Ash let Pikachu go up, but Musashi and Kojiro let the Ah Bai snake drill into the ground, and then let the gas bomb use the smoke.
Shigeru reached out and grabbed Ash's arm and said softly, "Blow the fog away." ”
Ash nodded, threw out the Poké Ball, and shouted, "Bibi Bird, blow the fog away." After being released, the Bibi bird quickly waved its wings, forming a wind that gradually blew away the black fog.
When the fog cleared, a large hole appeared in the place where there was originally a moon stone. Ash said unwillingly, "I was tricked." They didn't really want to fight us when they started their freshman year. ”
Xiao Gang watched for a while, and then let the big rock snake track it from the ground. And Xiao Mao took Xiao Zhi and ran out of the exit, intending to track down Team Rocket's whereabouts from the outside.
When Xiao Mao and the others saw the people of Team Rocket, it happened to be the big rock snake that stopped them. Xiao Gang asked the big rock snake to tie up the people of Team Rocket. But he was knocked out by a gas bomb.
At this time, many Pipsqueak and Nika suddenly appeared. Pipsqueak surrounded the Rockets. Xiao Mao and the others looked at Pippi, wondering what they were going to do.
Pipsqueaks hold out a finger, and then their whole bodies follow the fingers of the other and sway from side to side. Xiao Mao knew that this was Pipsqueak using his finger shake, but his body involuntarily shook, and then looked at Ash and them, and after finding that it was no exception, he recorded it in his heart.
When Pipsqueak stops swinging, Team Rocket is blown away, and the phrase 'what a nasty feeling' can be faintly heard.
Xiao Mao noticed that the Moon Stone seemed to have been blown up by Pipsqueak and them. Quickly, I sat on the floor and flipped out the computer and recorded it again. Look at the light of evolution from Pipsqueak, who was hit by the scattered moon stones. Xiao Mao subconsciously reached out and took a piece, is it really related to it?
After Pipsi evolved into Pixie 4, he and the others looked at each other, and then continued to dance what appeared to be a ritual. Shigeru took the fragment of the Moon Stone to Nika, who smiled and said, "Let's take it as a gift for you." Xiao Mao then put away the fragments of the moon stone. and asked for Nika's phone, saying that he would copy the video to him when he had time.
Afterwards, Nika says no, and he decides to live with Pipsqueak. And at night, Xiao Zhi and the others fell asleep, and Xiao Mao took some information about Pippi overnight and compared them. Finally, the relationship between Pippi's evolution and the moon stone was derived.
1 After the summary written by Rong was saved, Xiao Mao fell asleep. After breakfast the next day, they said goodbye to Nika with Ash. Although he still didn't wake up a little, Xiao Mao's spirit was good, because he had the idea of unraveling Pippi's evolution. In this way, Xiaomao Xiaozhi and the others embarked on a journey again, heading in the direction of Hualan City.
