Chapter Forty-Six: The Duck and the Leaping Fish
It's a sunny day again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Info sat by the river with a fishing rod in hand, silently thinking to himself. A few elves of Miao Frog Grass also lay comfortably behind them, lazily basking in the sun, relaxing their tired bodies after daily exercise.
It's been ten days since Xiao Mao left, and I heard Xiao Xia say that he came to the door to challenge the gym the next day and successfully won the badge, but during this time, he could only put on new herbs and bandages over and over again, and he couldn't even take big strides every day under the watchful eye of the sundae.
"Alas~" I sighed and rubbed my itchy and stiff shoulders, the surface of the river was calm like a stagnant water, only a trace of ripples brought by the floating buoys. I don't seem to be good at fishing, I thought helplessly.
Fishing is one of the few activities allowed by Minato Sundae, and the fishing rod is kindly provided by Kasumi. Before, after Minato and Xiaoxia had a few discussions about the water elves, Minato also started the idea of subduing a water elf. There are large and small lakes and rivers around Hualan City, and there are a wide variety of water system elves living in them, although they are all small lakes and small berths, but there are always many elves with good talent and strength.
Anyway, it's hard to move yourself, so it's better to kill time while fishing, hone your mind, and take the opportunity to subdue a water spirit to supplement your team. With this in mind, Minato began to run to the river every day.
It's a pity that compared to his excellent fighting talent, his level of fishing is really lame. For a whole week, only a stupid duck bit his hook, and the rest of the time he was really just honing his mind, and the original impetuous impulse was really polished............ That may be the only thing he's gained.
Uh, you say you can reach a duck, uh...... It's fate to meet, think about it, this may be the only elf he can catch, and after evolving into a Gotha duck, his strength should be passable, and now it's in the Poke Ball on his waist............
"Minato, you're still fishing, can't you catch one today?poof~" A pleasant crisp laugh sounded, and Sundae sat next to Minato.
Glanced at it quietly, this girl was wearing a green and delicate dress today, wearing a big sunhat on her head, her long hair was tied with a beautiful braided braid, and she was casually on her chest, and she didn't know where she was going to play crazy, her cheeks were red and fluttering, and fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose. I don't know how many times more beautiful than the dusty man when I traveled together before.
"Shhhh Minato whispered.
"Hahaha, you seem to be able to catch it, haha, I'm happy to die, there are people who are worse than me. Sundae laughed heartily, she had always been pulled by Xiaoxia to go fishing before, but she was the kind of person who had to talk for three minutes and couldn't sit still for five minutes, how could she catch a good fish. She didn't expect that she didn't think that she seemed to know everything and would make up for it, and she couldn't fish well, and she didn't say it in her temperament, and it was not good luck to catch it, and it was rare to find such a 'weakness' Sundae now it's uncomfortable not to mention two sentences a day.
"You should be glad that my patience has improved in the past two days, otherwise you already have a big bag on your head now! Don't run around if you have nothing to do in the future, follow me over to fish, it will be good for you." ”
"What~" Sundae covered his head meaningfully, his nose wrinkled and looked at him vigilantly, and his little expression was very cute.
"It's boring, huh, big rock, where are you all there?" After making sure that he would not be attacked by Minato's hand knife, Sundae turned his head in boredom, and found that the other four elves were all missing Minato's newly subdued Da Duck, and asked suspiciously.
"This ....... "It's a little helpless, it's not that he doesn't let the duck out, but the duck he subdues is really stupid! I tilt my head all day and don't know what I'm thinking, and I'm in a daze when I have a kung fu, even in training. So, it's the only elf who can bite the hook............ But it's rare to accept it, and I'm a little reluctant to let it go, so I've been letting it go.
"Ahem, the duck doesn't like to bask in the sun, so I won't let it out. ”
"Really?" the sundae seemed to sense the weakness of Minato's heart.
"Don't talk about that, I remember that I have to go to the Pokémon Center today to call my family, do you want to come along?" Minato quickly changed the topic, stopped fishing, raised his hand and raised the fishing rod to collect the line, and at the same time asked the sundae if he wanted to go along.
"Call, well, I'm fine anyway, so I'll go with you. Sundae stood up and patted his buttocks, and said happily.
"Let's be together, then. "I gathered up the fishing rods and folding chairs I had brought, and put them back one by one with a few elves. The sundae, with a bouncing spirit, began to walk back.
The two of them walked along the green path, listening to the faint chirping of cicadas in their ears, and soon came to a secluded Pokémon center on the outskirts of Hualan City.
The remote Pokémon Center in the wild is nowhere near as grand as it is in the city, and the house in the woods sits here as if it were someone's villa, without the noise of pedestrian trainers.
The two of them opened the door and entered, and there was neither an Alliance store, nor an intelligence center, nor a huge restaurant, just a simple front desk and a small task bar plastered with various mission pictorials.
"Welcome! Do you want to restore the elves or do you want to stay?" asked Miss Joy, who was standing at the front desk, with a professional smile on her face.
"No, we want to make a phone call using the intercom here. Sundae stepped forward and shook his hand.
"That's right. However, we only have one communicator here, and now that someone is using it, you can sit here for a while. Joey explained. The small room with the communication sign on the left does have a red light, and it seems that some residents are using it.
"Okay. Minato nodded, sat down on the chair with the sundae, waited for the others to finish first, and Miss Joy brought them two glasses of water before going about her business.
Waiting for a lot of boredom to come to the taskbar, check if there are any interesting and simple tasks, and see if there are any that can be solved along the way. Among these missions, I unexpectedly found that there was a task that required to find out the whereabouts of the Moonsee Mountain Rocket, and the publisher indicated that it was the Alliance, and the mission reward was unexpectedly rich. But this kind of task is only a few stunned young people will take it with luck...... it. After looking through it carefully, there was no suitable task, and one of them aroused a little interest.
The task sheet is handwritten, scribbled and childish, with neither the name of the person who posted it nor the reward for the task. Only the owner of the writing wrote in a pleading tone that he hoped that someone would exchange the elves with him. Although it seems unreliable, it seems good if you can take this opportunity to exchange the duck for other elves, so I can't help but watch it twice.
This should be from the hand of a child, but how can it be posted in the task bar? The content is very simple, even if you continue to dig deeper, there is probably nothing to dig into, so I picked up this 'task paper' and prepared to ask Miss Joy directly.
"I'm sorry, Miss Joy. Do you know what this 'mission' is about?"
Miss Joy heard Minato's inquiry, stopped what she was doing and looked up, and immediately recognized the colorful paper in Minato's hand, "Oh, this." It was a little Chizuru who lived nearby and asked me to hang up, she has a fierce and aggressive water jumping fish, and she often disobeys orders and hurts other people's elves, and she has always been troubled by this. Yesterday the water leaping fish made trouble again, and she wrote this in the hope that a passing trainer could exchange elves with her. ”
Fierce and aggressive, his eyes lit up, and he knew that he had picked up a treasure. As one of the initial elves in the Fengyuan region, the water leaping fish undoubtedly has strong strength in its final form, and the dual attributes of water and land also make its weakness only grass, which is a very good elf. The aggressive personality couldn't be better.
"Please, can you tell me where that kid lives? I'll take this 'task'!" asked quickly, if someone preempted him, he wouldn't have a place to cry when he was over.
"No problem, the kid lives in a hut on the east side of the woods, which is relatively humid by the lake, so there are not many people living there, and it is easy to find. Joey smiled and pointed Minato in the right direction.
"Sundae, you wait here, I'll be back soon!" Minato thanked Joey, left a word and walked out.
"What's the matter? You wait for me, Minato, I'm going with you too. Sundae saw Minato hurriedly walking away, confused, but still hurriedly followed. What are you kidding, how can you stay alone?
"What the hell is going on? Tell me about it. Sundae asked curiously, as he chased after him with his tools.
This girl still chased after her, and after making up the helpless result of the sundae's hand, she thought about it and told the matter of the duck and the exchange elves.
"Hahaha, I'll just tell you how you caught a duck, so that's it. After listening to the explanation of the sundae, she gloated and received a punch in the head the next moment. "Pain, pain, what, didn't you say that your patience has improved? What is the difference between this and before?!" Sundae covered his head with tears in his eyes.
"My patience has improved, just because I won't knock you out, give me less schadenfreude over there!" Minato threatened, raising his fist.
"Hmph, hand knife maniac!"
"What did you say?" the fist was about to fall.
"It's nothing, I mean, it's not very good, maybe it will get better in the future, why is it so good?"
"It's very difficult for an elf's personality to change a lot, unless it's really possible to change the original personality when it evolves. But if you don't cooperate with the training and don't participate in the battle, what year do you want me to wait for the duck to evolve? Maybe it wasn't for me in the first place, maybe it was caught by me for this moment. "Minato fiddles with Da Duck's Poké Ball in her hand, Chizuru?Sounds like a girl's name, and doesn't seem to like elf fighting. Da Duck should be better off in the hands of that little girl than in me, okay......
"What kind of crooked truth is this, huh? Isn't that the house that says 'Maruyama Chizuru's home' on the door? Sundae suddenly found a small room not far away, and there was a sign with writing on the door.
Got it!
