Chapter 8: This is where you belong

Lilielle's flaming finch was spotted and screamed at her. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Oops."

Lilia remembered reading about the habits of the flaming sparrow in books, and that this cry was undoubtedly an enemy of herself.

If they don't flee immediately, they will be attacked as if they had violated their territory.

Although this bird spirit is not strong, its fighting spirit in the face of the enemy is unusually high.

And the current location of Liliai, in front of which is a garden frequented by insects and small bird elves, and behind it is also No. 2 Road, which is infested with a large number of wild elves.

The flaming sparrow unceremoniously crashed into Liliai.

There was no place to escape, and no one came to save themselves.

Still, she thought of a name and instinctively called it out.

"Black!!"

"Phew!!"

A flash of lightning that was not very strong, although not strong, was quite effective against a flaming sparrow.

Lilia looked back, and what she saw was a pearchu.

"You're—"

Lilia won't forget that this Pichu is the one that Dark wants to subdue her.

Pichu, the size of a palm, ran up to Lilia and met the flock.

"Pichu, are you going to protect me?"

"Pi-Chu!"

And the flamingos were visibly more enraged after the death of their companions.

The spirits of the flaming sparrow don't seem to know the feeling of being afraid, and they still pounce collectively without scruples in the face of the electric elves that the flying department is not good at dealing with.

Pichu looked back at Lilia.

"Do you want me to give orders?"

Pichu nodded.

Even though Lilia wasn't a trainer, it was no time to hesitate.

"If I back down here, I'm not the only one who will be hurt."

At the same time, Lilia seemed to understand a truth.

Yes, elves can get hurt because of the battle, but not every elf is afraid of getting hurt.

In this world, there are also many elves who want to live in symbiosis with humans and find their own new value.

It is precisely because the elves and the trainer share the same ideals that the two come together.

The elves were wounded in battle for the trainer, but the trainer also tried his best to protect the elves and made the most correct judgment in battle.

Therefore, the relationship between the trainer and the elves is not one oppression of the other, but a community of destiny.

Just like now, if she flinched weakly here, she and Pichu would be attacked by the flaming sparrow.

If only she was weak, it would have been fine, but she couldn't tolerate Pichu getting hurt.

Moreover, it is impossible not to respond to Pichu's own expectations.

Clenching her fists, Lilia decided to let go of her previous cowardice.

"Jump backwards with electric shocks."

At Lilia's command, Pichu jumped backwards, dodging the flamingo's pounce and unleashing an electric shock that stunned several flamingos.

However, there were still four flamingos, dodging the electric shock, and they regained their altitude, intending to dive down on Pichu again.

"For now, by trickery."

Pichu closed his eyes, and his whole body glowed with a dark glow.

The flaming sparrow attacked Pichu again.

Oh no, the flaminja is spinning faster than you think.

"Get out of the way!"

Lilia hurriedly shouted.

Pichu used his trick and jumped backwards, but he was still a step too late, and was knocked several meters away by the flaming sparrow.

However, Pichu, who got back up after being wounded, showed a triumphant smile.

"Electric shock!"

Pichu unleashed the electric shock again, and the power of the electric shock was greatly increased by the effect of the trick, and the powerful electricity directly knocked the remaining four Flamingos to the ground.

With the flamingos knocked down, Lilia seems to be out of danger for the time being.

"Pichu, are you alright?"

Lilia hurried up.

Pichu is not a very strong elf, it can basically be regarded as Pikachu's infancy, and his ability is weak.

The blow from the flaming sparrow was already a big blow to it.

"It's really hurt, it needs to be treated......

However, in a hurry to chase Cosmogou here, Lilia brought nothing.

And Pichu, as if I could still fight, got back on his feet.

However, if you encounter the wild elves again, it will not be good.

Cosmogou seemed to be on the other side of the flowers, and if he rushed over with Pichu, he might be able to get through.

"No way!"

Lilia shook her head.

Although she cares a lot about Kosmogu's affairs, it is ultimately her own business, and she can't do it for the sake of Pichu to continue to force herself.

Although it will be later, when you get back to the city, you can ask Black and Dr. them for help.

With that in mind, she picked up Pichu.

"Let's go back to the city together, although I can't do it alone, but if I come with you, it should be fine."

……

Along the way, Lilia and Pichu also encountered many elves who attacked them, but most of them were like mongooses, and little Lada were more common and not very powerful.

It would have been difficult for Lilia to deal with alone, but with Pichu's electric shock as cover, it was easy to escape.

The little elves are mostly afraid of electric shocks, and even if they don't hit, Pichu's electric shocks can make them stunned for a while.

After walking together for about a morning, Lilia finally stepped out of the winding second road.

And waiting for her there was a black man who looked a little tired, wearing a white shirt and trousers, sitting on a bench by the road.

And he was playing with his head with his right hand, and from time to time he let out a strange laugh.

"Little Nebula!? Why are you here? ”

Lilia hurriedly ran up.

"Why are you running around again?"

And when Cosmogou saw Lilia, he shook the tentacles on his head like two clouds as if nothing had happened, and let out a laugh.

Seeing Cosmogu's appearance, Lilia couldn't get angry.

Cosmogu is like a child, for whom it is normal to run away by chance, and getting angry about such things will not change Cosmogu's carefree personality.

"But then again."

Lilia noticed, Black next to Cosmogu.

Lilia remembers very well yesterday that she ran after Cosmogou, chasing all the way until at the end of Road 2, in the garden of the valley, saw Cosmogou.

"Black, where did you find it?"

"Oh, I just walked around the city and found it, I was looking for you, but I found this guy, it's a coincidence. I was still worried about you, but I didn't expect you to solve the difficulties with Pichu, this is the first step to get started as a trainer, congratulations. ”

"Pichu-Black, isn't what you just said a lie?"

"Uh, why do you ask?"

Looking at Pichu beside her, Lilia always felt that Cosmogou was found by the hack and that Pichu appeared by her side, these two things were not accidental.

Of course, Lilia had little evidence.

"If I have to say it, I think although Hei is always unreliable, he is still a reliable person at critical moments."

"So what?"

"Isn't it strange that this kind of darkness has helped me find Cosmogu, but left me in the wilderness and waited for me at the intersection of Road 2?"

"It's really strange, is this a distortion of human nature or a moral degradation......" Hei thought about life with a serious look.

"Don't be poor, it's you!"

Even if Black hadn't said it, Lilia would probably have guessed it.

The reason why that Pichu appeared next to him should not be a coincidence, but brought by Black himself.

Presumably to allow Lilia to change her weakness, after leaving Pichu to help Lilia, Black herself did not show up, but went to the other side of the grass to find Cosmogu.

Although I can't be sure, on the way back, Black may have been protecting himself, so he didn't encounter any powerful elves along the way.

Looking closely, Lilia saw a few uncleaned weeds on the fabric of her black heels.

"Pichu, isn't this the one who brought you to me?"

"Pichu!"

"It said yes."

"Hey, can you understand Elven language?"

"I always feel like I can understand it, because I've decided to be its owner."

Seeing Lilia's tired but still very bright expression, Kuro smiled.

"Since they have all been ordained, there is no point in shirking it."

"Really, there was no need to hide it in the first place."

"But don't you think it's old-fashioned that I show up at the same time you shout my name? So as a substitute, let Pichu go. ”

"For that reason!?"

"That- I'm sorry yesterday."

Somewhat abruptly, Black turned the subject back to yesterday's events.

"Black?"

"To be honest, I don't quite understand what Lilia was thinking, and I don't know why Lilia was angry yesterday now, but—"

Black scratched his head, squinted and smiled.

"At this time, it is a man's style to apologize for whatever reason. It's not convincing, but can you forgive me? ”

Lilia didn't answer, she just looked at the black like that.

The reason why she was angry with Hei yesterday was probably because of the places on Hei's body that she didn't know very well, especially the place where she could cut herself with a knife without blinking her eyes.

Black's behavior, and his different approach to wartime and other trainers, gave Lilia a vague sense that the "battlefield" he occasionally blurted out was not something he made up.

She was angry at Black's behavior, but he was also on a particularly gentle side.

Because of that courage, which may have been honed on the battlefield, Lilia could also understand that he was more reliable than anyone else.

"Black - was he a brave man in his previous life?"

"Brave?" Hearing Lilia's question, Black laughed out loud as if instinctively. "What are you kidding, the brave thing, in front of me is a chicken, a dog, if you want to say why, I'm a megatron—"

"Megatron—?"

"Sorry, I can't remember."

It's a big gasp, this guy!

But-

"If you forgive me, can you promise me one condition?" Lilia asked.

"On what terms?"

"Although I was a little confused at first, after this time, I always felt that wandering around with a little nebula like this was not a long-term solution. I want to find the nebula's original home and get it back there. ”

"Where did it be? For elves, the true destination is not necessarily the original destination. ”

"Huh?"

"Just like now." Black crouched down, pulled out a Poké Ball, and said to Cosmogu. "You're a likable guy, I like you very much, how about messing with me in the future?"

Cosmogou looked happy.

"Very well, you will be a member of our gang from now on."

Black lightly hit Cosmogu with a Poké Ball.

"Staring!"

"Very well, take it."

"Hey !!" Lilia let out the loudest cry she'd probably had since she was born. "Why did you just take it like this!?"

"Because you didn't say you wanted to be, Cosmogu seemed to be pleased, and let me be its belonging." Hei said with a smug look. "So, your goal has been achieved, forgive me."

Cosmogu jumped out of the Poké Ball, shaking his tentacles at Lilia with a happy look.

"Although I can't object if Xiao Xingyun thinks so too, but what do you think of the decision that people have made so much determination!!"

Lilia punches Black with a powder fist with healing properties.

In this way, although the incident of last night was forgiven, Hei seemed to make Lilia angry again because of something new.

"I didn't expect such a big thing to happen during my absence, Cosmogu was subdued by the black, and Lilia also had her own elf." At lunch, Dr. Kukui let out a hearty laugh. "But you should know that Cosmogou seems to be being targeted by a group, and Lilia is moving around because of Cosmogogu. Now that you have subdued it and taken its place, you will be targeted by that organization. ”

"yes, whatever they are. Although I don't have any memory, I always feel that I have been used to this kind of thing before. ”

"It's really interesting what kind of life Hei lived before." Lilia smiled wryly.

However, those black elves, if they were just ordinary trainers, I am afraid that they would never be able to recover them, and Lilia also understood this.

"Now that Cosmogu has been subdued by Black, there is no need for Lilia to run around, so how about it, do you still want to travel with Black?"

"Please let me continue my trip!"

"Ah, I won't ask why." Seeing Lilia answer without thinking, the doctor covered his mouth and snickered.

"There's only one test on the island of Merlot, and now you're going to Lily Town to fight against Hala, the king of the islands, and the battle with the king of the islands is called the Great Test. So, are you ready, for the black, you shouldn't have to ask. The Tour of the Islands has probably never seen a strong man like Black, although I know that Hala is also a strong trainer, and after watching your previous battles, I really can't think of how you lost to Hala . ”

"I honestly accepted this compliment."
