Chapter 20: Little Fire Dragon

It was still a boundless forest, and Ash and his party rested helplessly again. Xiao Xia looked at Xiao Mao weakly and said, "Xiao Mao, how long do we have to get out of the forest? I'm almost fed up!"

"The closest to this side is Highway 24. Xiao Mao looked at the map in his hand, and his tone was still calm. Ash took out his glasses and looked around to see if there were any special elves. However, all the eyes are flaming, and Ash, who has no good impression of the flaming sparrow, can't afford to accept it. Lamented, "It's rare to get lost, but I don't see any other elves except for the flaming sparrow." What a ......."

"What the hell is it, if it weren't for you running around, would we have wasted five days in this forest?!" Xiao Xia glared angrily at the culprit who had lost their way. If it weren't for Xiao Mao, they would have been lost in the forest for a longer time.

"Hmph, girls are trouble. "Because Xiao Mao once warned Xiao Zhi that Xiao Xia is a girl and should be humble. So Ash could only pout and muttered with a little disgust.

"Which of us is more troublesome?" shouted Xiaoxia, who was not too bad in her ears, glared at Ash angrily. And Xiao Gang was accustomed to this, and then pointed to Xiaoxia's feet and said, "Hey, that seems to be a worm." ”

Xiaoxia, who was originally in a violent state, climbed onto Ash's back at a speed that exceeded the limits of the human body after hearing that there were insects. Ash was a little staggered, but he still stood firm, "Really, what are you doing, Xiaoxia." ”

"There are worms, there are worms!" Xiaoxia shouted in a slightly depressed tone. Xiao Mao walked over, bent down to pick up the thing that was just beside Xiao Xia, and handed it to Xiao Xia, "It's grass, not insects." ”

"Ahaha, I didn't see it clearly, sorry, Xiaoxia. Xiao Gang touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly. And Xiaoxia, who realized that she had been tricked, jumped off from Xiaozhi and knocked out Xiaogang with one punch. Xiao Gang touched his pathetic abdomen, and his hand was so heavy.

Xiao Mao glanced at Xiao Zhi and found that there was nothing wrong, so he said to the two people who were making trouble over there, "After this mountain pass, we can get out of the forest." ”

"Okay!" Xiaoxia cheered happily. Pikachu was looking at the side of the mountain road, and Eevee was also looking at it with a little wariness. And the grass snake that can walk and stand next to Xiao Mao is also carelessly sweeping the side of the mountain road.

Just when Xiaoxia dragged Xiao Gang and Xiao Zhi, planning to quickly follow Xiao Mao out of this forest. A tall boy walked over, slightly surprised when he saw the elf beside them, and then snorted very haughtily, walked to a rock, took out the Poké Ball, and when the red light passed, a small fire dragon appeared next to the rock.

The arrogant young man said to the little fire dragon, "You wait for me here, I will come back." ”

The little fire dragon nodded, his eyes full of trust. The young man smiled, then turned around, and the undisguised mockery made Xiao Mao's eyes a trace of solemnity.

When the boy left, the little fire dragon obediently climbed up the rock, lying on it and watching the direction the boy left. Xiao Mao glanced at the little fire dragon and then looked at the direction the young man left, and sighed slightly in his heart, hoping that it would not be what he thought......

Just when Xiao Mao was thinking about the meaning of the young man's slightly mocking eyes, Xiao Xia and Xiao Gang were discussing how unpleasant the young man was just now, and after Xiao Mao came back to his senses, he said, "Don't worry about it so much, it's not too early, let's hurry up." ”

"That's right. Xiaoxia shrugged her shoulders, and then strode in the direction of the young man's departure. Xiao Mao walked at the end, looking back at the well-behaved and obedient little fire dragon from time to time. There was a hint of solemnity in Eevee's eyes, but when Pikachu looked at him, he was calm. The grass snake looked at Xiao Mao from time to time, and then ate the elf food that Xiao Gang had specially made for it before.

After walking for about an hour, Xiaoxia suddenly found the Pokémon Center on the side of the road. Xiao Zhi, who had been walking in the mountains for a long time and was exhausted, instantly became energetic. Finally, I don't have to sleep in the wild!

Walking quickly to the Pokémon Center, Shigeru handed the pokemon to Miss Joey. And Miss Joy was a little surprised when she saw the grass snake, looking at the grass snake seemed to be a little awkward, Joey touched the grass snake, the leaf-shaped tail. Although the grass snake wagged its tail, it didn't dodge, and it didn't shake the rattan whip. I think I accepted Joey's touch.

Joey smiled and nodded to them, then led the elves to the treatment room. Xiao Mao and the others found a table in the hall and sat down to rest, while Xiao Mao took out the computer to check the email. Coincidentally, his paper was reviewed, and his grandfather, Yukinari Ohki, also sent a congratulatory email. As well as Nika's congratulations and the trivialities of his life with Pippi.

Pikachu and Eevee were playing under the table, and Ash was bored and watched Shigeru flip through something on the computer. And Xiaoxia and Xiaogang went to help them serve tea.

When Xiaogang and Xiaoxia came back, their faces were not very good. Ash asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with you two?" and Pikachu ran out from under the table and looked at Kasumi.

Xiaoxia squatted down and put the tea for Pikachu and Eevee, then stood up and said while setting the tea for Ash and them, "I just saw that nasty boy." Xiaoxia pointed to the large table not far away.

Shigeru and Ash looked over and found that it was the boy who had left the little fire dragon on the rocks of the mountain pass. The boy was surrounded by some people.

Vaguely seeing a lot of Poké Balls on the table, Xiao Mao frowned slightly, Yan zhòng exceeded the carrying standard. And at this moment those people were talking about something, and one of the boys called the boy 'Dayou' and praised the boy for being very powerful.

The young man raised his chin slightly, looking a little untouchable. A few of the other boys asked, "Dayou, have you seen any powerful elves lately?"

"Ah, I saw a good-looking snake, but there was a master. Dayou said with a little disappointment.

"What kind of snake, is it more powerful than a little fire dragon?" asked one of the boys. After all, the little fire dragon is not weak in the initial elf. In addition, the small fire dragon is rarely seen in the wild in the Guandu area, so many children like to compare it.

"Little Fire Dragon? I don't know, it's not compared, but my little fire dragon is very weak, so I guess I can't win. Fortunately, I threw him into the mountains today, and I had time to catch another strong one. Dayou said so carelessly, but it made Xiaomao's eyes a lot colder.

"It's too much!" Xiaoxia said angrily. And Xiao Gang also answered, "It's a bit excessive, if the little fire dragon is carefully cultivated, it can become very strong." ”

"Cultivation? Even a half-trainer like Ash can't catch up, saying that cultivation is insulting the trainers who are serious about subduing the elves. Xiao Mao said coldly. But it made Xiaoxia and the others feel that Xiao Mao seemed to be more poisonous than usual......

"Xiaomao, why are you using me as a metaphor with him!" Ash shouted unconvinced. He was very annoyed with that guy's attitude towards the elf, but why did this guy compare himself to that guy. He's a lot better than that guy!

"I'm complimenting you, at least you're more comfortable than that. Xiao Mao tilted his head slightly, and the coldness in his eyes was replaced by a smile. Looking at Ash's puzzled expression because of his words, he smiled, then stood up and walked to the young man named Daiyu with a calm face.

When Xiao Mao and the others saw Xiao Mao walking over, they also followed. Xiao Mao said politely, "I'm sorry, can I disturb me?"

"Huh, of course, but you're a little familiar...... By the way, it's the guy with the strange snake-like elf. Dayou felt that Xiaomao's question was very stupid, he had been to the Pokémon Academy before he was ten years old.

"Oh, yes, can you please ask which kind of elf the grass elf is most afraid of?" Xiao Mao nodded slightly, and then asked suspiciously studiously.

"This ......" Dayou was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xiao Mao. And the corners of Xiao Mao's lips at this moment drew a mocking arc, "You can't answer such a simple question, have you really studied?" Xiao Mao ...... "Xiao Mao wanted Xiao Zhi to answer, but then he thought about it, Xiao Zhi's common sense is not good, so don't let him lose face." Then he said, "This kind of guy who sleeps at school can easily answer the answer, have you really spent the book? The grass snake is a grass-based elf, which can be said to be extremely unfavorable to the little fire dragon. I can't even tell that those elves were really caught by you, and not exchanged for them by some illegal means?"

"Hmph, what if I don't have good sense, I just need to collect powerful elves. Since that guy has been defeated, it can only be said that he is too weak. Dayou was angry at what Xiao Mao said, and stiffly changed the topic.

"Any pokew has the potential to become stronger, and you guy is not qualified to be a trainer at all. Ash shouted angrily after hearing Dayou's words.

"Oh, I don't need your consent to be a trainer. But are you trying to rehabilitate that useless little fire dragon?" Dayou asked in a playful tone from his previous anger to calm.

Xiao Mao stopped the three people who were a little emotional, looked at Dayou calmly, and said, "The subdued elves will have unconditional trust in their trainers. Originally, I wanted to convince you to go and find the little fire dragon, but now it seems that there is no need for it. Because you don't deserve it at all. Ash, let's go. ”

Shigeru turned around and pulled Ash back to their previous seat. And Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia also followed back with a little displeasure. After coming back, Xiao Zhi said puzzledly, "Xiao Mao, why are you stopping me, that kind of guy, it looks really infuriating!"

"Because we have more important things to do, we may need to stay here for a few days. Xiao Mao said.

"If it's for the little fire dragon, I don't have an opinion. Xiao Gang looked at Xiao Mao and said with a stern expression. And Ash and Xiaoxia also said that for the sake of the little fire dragon, there is no opinion on the delay of the trip.

Xiao Mao nodded, and then said, "Most elves will trust trainers. Only a few elves will have rebellious feelings, because they feel that the strength of the trainer does not match their own strength and are separated. But very little. The little fire dragon obviously trusts its trainer, so we must enlighten the little fire dragon before it is completely traumatized, so that it can understand the true face of its trainer. ”

"But how do you do it?" asked Xiaoxia, the elf's trust in his trainer had reached the realm of diehard loyalty.

"Xiao Gang, you prepare some food for the little fire dragon tomorrow, I think the little fire dragon will not go to hunt in order to wait for Dayou not to leave too far. Xiaoxia, you and Xiaozhi are talking to Xiao Huolong to see if there can be a breakthrough in language. Xiao Mao said the method he had come up with before. Now this is the only way to work, and I just hope that there is still time to make up for it.

"Well, that's all there is to it for now. Xiao Gang also guessed the purpose of Xiao Mao's arrangement, and then said as if he had thought of something, "Xiao Mao, can you lend me Yi Bu?"

"Hmm? Eevee will follow Pikachu. Xiao Mao was stunned for a moment, and then he knew what Xiao Gang meant. Even if Xiao Gang didn't mention it, Xiao Mao also planned to let Eevee and Pikachu go. Eevee and Pikachu have been hurt by humans in the past, and they will also play a very important role in enlightening the little fire dragon and healing the little fire dragon's mental wounds.

After talking about it like this, they went to find a place to rest. Ash couldn't sleep at night, so he told Xiaomao about the little fire dragon.

"Shigeru, did you say that the little fire dragon would believe us?" Ash asked, a little embarrassed. Although he is usually arrogant, when it comes to elves, Ash's head is not slow.

"Yes. The elf is only loyal to the trainer, but not the fool, as long as we can explain the matter and put the facts in front of the little fire dragon. The little fire dragon will definitely understand what we mean. Xiao Mao calmly comforted Xiao Zhi, who was worried about the little fire dragon.

"Shigeru, why did you let Eevee follow?" Pikachu's words, Ash could understand a little. But Ibu's somewhat reluctant demeanor, why did he follow them?

"Xiao Gang plans to use Miss Xiao Cui's method to heal the little fire dragon, and the wound on his soul is made by Dayou. Ibrahimsukhe had a similar experience, and I thought it might help you. Shigeru explained his intentions to Ash, but it also caught Ash's attention, "Similar experiences?"

"Well, Ievee has been hurt by humans. Ash, it's not too early, and you should go to bed. Xiao Mao looked at the time and found that it was almost eleven o'clock, so he urged Xiao Zhi to rest.

Ash nodded, and then said, "Xiaomao, I want to be a trainer that the elves can trust and rely on in the future!" After experiencing this incident, Ash was extremely disgusted with the person named Dayou, but he was also determined to take the path he wanted to take.

"I'll oversee you. Shigeru's words were tinged with subtle pampering, while Ash muttered, "Who supervises you, I'm just telling you that I'm going to be the best trainer in the world." ”

Xiao Mao didn't answer, but hooked his lips and showed a faint, slightly pleasant smile. Then he closed his eyes and went to sleep, and Ash muttered a few words and went to sleep.

Not far away, Eevee, who was huddled with Pikachu, moved his ears, as if he had acted inadvertently, and as if he had been listening to the conversation between Ash and Shigeru all along.

When it was dawn the next day, Xiao Gang borrowed the cafeteria of the Pokémon Center and made some elf food for the little fire dragon, and also prepared some for Pikachu and them.

After Ash woke up, he was worried about the little fire dragon, so he simply washed up and took Eevee and Pikachu to the mountain pass to find the little fire dragon. Shigeru arrives in the lobby and asks Joey if he knows anything about the boy named Daisuke.

I learned from Joey that Dayou's group of teenagers have an unusually bad reputation in this area, and even discarding elves is a regular thing. Joey was also extremely helpless about this. When Xiao Mao heard Joey say this, he had a little bottom in his heart, and then asked Joey if he had any impression of Dayou's little fire dragon.

Joey said that it was a very strong elf, and if it was cultivated well, it would definitely become very powerful. Xiao Mao nodded, if he didn't guess, Ash's little fire dragon was subdued here. Subsequently, Xiao Mao asked some questions about the elf, and Joey answered Xiao Mao patiently, and asked Xiao Mao about the grass snake by the way.

Shigeru and Joey had a good chat, but when Ash returned, the news he brought back was not ideal. The little fire dragon didn't believe what they said, and still believed in the lie that Dayou would come back to pick it up.

Shigeru just told Ash to be patient, there would always be a way to make the little fire dragon believe their words and abandon that bad trainer.

Hearing Xiao Mao's words, Xiao Zhi also nodded in agreement. After all, Ash has always been a more and more courageous skew. In this way, they spent five days, and although they made the little fire dragon much more friendly to them, they still did not persuade the little fire dragon.

Shigeru has no better way to deal with this, and both Eevee and Pikachu try to persuade the little fire dragon and tell him the truth of the matter. But the little fire dragon firmly believes that Dayou will come to pick it up. Xiao Mao's persistence touched Xiao Mao, but he also felt that it was even more tricky. And every time he saw the grass snake sitting beside him but still holding his chin and looking arrogant, Xiao Mao always sighed that if the little fire dragon had such decisiveness as the grass snake, they might not need to be so distressed.

When the day suddenly became gloomy, Xiaomao looked out the window and found that the house was covered with dark clouds, and the wind was strong, making the leaves rustle. The trees swayed from side to side.

Xiao Mao knew that it was going to rain heavily. The little fire dragon is a fire-type Pokémon with an instinctive fear of water. The little fire dragon refuses to leave the rock, and it is bound to get wet in the rain. If the fire on the tail is extinguished due to illness in the rain, then the baby fire dragon will also die as a result.

Xiao Mao knew that it was useless for him to rush over at this moment, and he only hoped that Xiao Zhi could bring the little fire dragon back. Even if you force it back, you can bring it back. At least the little fire dragon can't be left outside like this on a rainy day.

Just as Xiao Mao was waiting, Xiao Zhi and Xiao Gang hurriedly ran in with the unconscious little fire dragon, and after finding Joey, they handed the little fire dragon over.

When Joey saw the little fire dragon, he immediately blamed Ash and them. And Ash and they didn't refute Joey, but asked Joey about the little fire dragon.

Joey said that although he was very weak, he was not too dangerous because of the proper protection measures.

After knowing that the little fire dragon was fine, Ash refuted Joey's previous words and told Joey that this little fire dragon was abandoned by that guy at the mountain pass rock.

As for Xiao Gang, he looked at Joey with a slightly red cheek and thought, 'What a beautiful person'. Xiao Mao looked at the little fire dragon with worry in his eyes, while the grass teng snake looked at the little fire dragon and then at Xiao Mao, and turned his head sideways and didn't know what he was thinking.

Because Joey was going to treat the little fire dragon, Ash and the others all went outside to wait. When Joey came out with a tired face, the four people and the three elves all looked at Joey. As Joey gestures to them and smiles at them. Xiao Zhi and the others couldn't help but smile.

After that, he went back to the room to rest, and when the next morning came, Xiao Gang suddenly opened the door and hurriedly shouted, "The little fire dragon is gone!"

Because Xiao Zhi slept on the edge of the bed, he fell out of bed because of Xiao Gang's words, but fortunately, Xiao Mao was good, and when Xiao Zhi almost landed, he picked it up.

Regardless of getting dressed, Ash and the others hurriedly ran to the ward where the little fire dragon was, and only Miss Joy was standing by the bed in the missing ward, but the little fire dragon who was supposed to be resting on the bed was nowhere to be found.

You don't have to guess to know that the little fire dragon is going back to wait for Dayou. Xiao Gang excitedly said that he was going to pick it up. But Xiaoxia said, "I think it's over, since the little fire dragon wants to do that, we can't drag it around the neck with a chain around it." ”

Xiao Mao frowned, he and Xiao Xia had similar ideas, everything that should have been done had been done, and Xiao Huolong himself didn't notice it, and there was no way to do it. Joey felt the same way. In the end, Ash and the others could only leave the Pokémon Center with a little unwillingness.

On the way out, Ash and Gang were still discussing the matter of the little fire dragon. And Xiaoxia couldn't get used to seeing Xiao Zhi and Xiao Gang's spiritless appearance, so she patted the back of the two of them and said, "Highway 24 is ahead, and if we go further, we will go to Withered Leaf City." Once there, there are new pokemon to subdue. ”

As soon as Ash heard the elf, he had a spirit, and Xiao Gang also showed a smile. The corners of Xiao Mao's mouth were also hooked, and he was no longer depressed before.

Just walking, Ash suddenly stopped and asked Xiao Gang and Xiao Mao if there was an earthquake, and when Xiao Xia stepped over half of her body, her feet were empty. The four fell into the trap.

Pikachu and Eevee walked back and stood on the edge of the pit. After seeing Ash's image, Pikachu seemed to be helpless and said "Pikachu ......"

In the pit, Xiao Mao was pressed under Xiao Zhi, and Xiao Xia was pressed on Xiao Gang, and her posture was a little embarrassed. While Pikachu was paying attention to Ash and them, Grass Snake and Eevee were looking at the forest on the side.

I saw two people in strange clothes walk out and let Pikachu go over obediently. Pikachu subconsciously used an electric shock, but it didn't work for those two people at all.

Eevee's eyes were slightly cold as he looked at the human who suddenly appeared, and the hair on his whole body suddenly rose. The person on the other side was very calmly talking about what to believe in the power of science. Meowth couldn't look at it and shouted, "You two don't talk about it, hurry up and catch it." ”

Kojiro and Musashi took out a bazooka, and when Eevee had bad instincts and was about to use the ramming, the grass snake used the rattan whip one step ahead of it. Turquoise rattan whips flutter in the air, revealing a sense of elegance.

Eevee was stunned for a moment, and then directly used the charge on Musashi and Kojiro. And the grass snake also threw the bazooka with a rattan whip.

When Kojiro and Musashi saw that their weapons were lost, they threw out their own elves. Eevee, Pikachu, and the Grass Snake stood in a row, ready to attack. It's just that at this time, suddenly Eevee and the grass teng snake looked to the left, only to see the little fire dragon from before suddenly coming over. And he said to them, "Oh, oh, oh."

Pikachu nodded, "Pika, Pika!" and the grass snake raised his chin and gave a cold "Da Moo." Although Ebu is not as arrogant as the grass snake, he only calmly gives a "Bui." "It's kind of agreed.

"It's so unfair that you four beat us two!" Meowth shouted angrily after hearing what they were saying.

"What are you afraid of, we have rubber suits! Pikachu's electric shock is ineffective for us, just three against three. Musashi said lightly.

"Hey, three-on-three?" Meowth was a little confused, but Musashi calmly picked up Meow and threw it out. "You're also an elf, give me a fight!"

"Oh yes, I'm an elf. Meow slapped both paws, and she almost forgot about it. "Hmph, you three little ones, my Uncle Meow is not afraid!" Meow Meow moved its paws that had been useless for a long time.

The little fire dragon, known as Xiao Budian, frowned slightly, and then suddenly spewed out a large amount of flames under Meow's puzzled gaze. Directly roasted Meow, Musashi and Kojiro behind Meow.

When the little fire dragon closed his mouth, Musashi and Kojiro blinked, and then quickly ran away. Behind him were Ah Bai snakes and gas bombs, as well as the phrase 'what a nasty feeling'.

The grass snake used the rattan whip to pull Ash and the others up, and the four of them all thanked the grass snake, and the grass snake raised his chin and gave a sentence "Da moo." Acknowledging their gratitude.

Then Ash and the others saw the little fire dragon, and when they knew that the little fire dragon was here to save them, Ash and Xiao Gang were extremely happy. And Ash naturally asked, "Little Fire Dragon, why don't you just come with us." If you keep waiting like this, he won't come. ”

The little fire dragon looked at Ash, looking a little embarrassed, but also wavering. At this moment, Dayou suddenly ran out and said in a slightly unexpected tone, "Yo, it's you, I heard that you have become stronger?"

When Ash and Gang saw Dayou, the atmosphere instantly changed. And Xiao Mao also looked at Dayou with a displeased face. Dayou didn't care about the four of them, but leisurely said that he was here to pick it up, and also said that it was normal to lose the weak elves. It was a happy little fire dragon, and he looked at Dayou unexpectedly. And Dayou's back 'I didn't want to pick it up, but it seems to be a little grown' made the little fire dragon completely sad.

When Daiyou tries to reclaim the little fire dragon, the little fire dragon makes up his mind and pulls the Poké Ball back with one tail. Dayou, who was hit in the face by a Poke Ball, angrily wants to fight all his Pokemon after he falls off. But it was burned by the flames of the little fire dragon. And Pikachu also ran over and added an electric shock. Ibu and the Grass Snake stood by and watched quietly.

When Pikachu and the little fire dragon stopped, Dayou had become unsure of whether it was blackened or scorched, and rushed back in tears.

And when Ash invited the little fire dragon again, the little fire dragon agreed with a smile. When it was time to accept it, Xiao Gang asked Xiao Ash to accept it, and Xiao Mao, Xiao Zhi and Xiao Xia all looked at Xiao Gang with some puzzlement. But Xiao Gang said, "You are the one who protects the flame on the tail of the little fire dragon, and I believe that you can raise him into a good elf." ”

Hearing Xiao Gang say this, a faint smile crossed Xiao Mao's eyes, Xiao Zhi's cultivation in the early stage was very good, but the rebellion of Charizard in the later stage...... Well, but that's all for later. At this time, Ash threw the Poké Ball out with a happy face, and the little fire dragon jumped in by himself.

After getting the Poké Ball of the Little Fire Dragon, Ash's smile was full of satisfaction. After all, this is also the elf he wanted in the first place. Xiao Mao, on the other hand, looked at the grass snake, and now that its injuries were healed, it could return to the forest. Do you plan to continue with them, or do you want to go back?

Sensing Xiao Mao's gaze, the grass snake raised its eyes to look at them, and then called out softly, "Da moo, da moo." ”

After the grass snake finished speaking, Pikachu was the first to smile, and Xiao Mao also laughed. "Welcome, Grass Snake. "Eye-to-eye. The grass snake felt that their smiles were a little harsh, and Xiao Mao nodded and smiled, "I know, for the time being." The grass snake didn't bother to pay attention to them, tilted his head, and walked forward. Pikachu and Eevee followed. Xiao Mao and the four of them glanced at each other, and then chased after each other with a smile. With two new additions to their team, the journey will be even more fun, right?
