Chapter Twenty-Six: Departure
In the mountains behind Sunshine Town, the usually slightly remote and rugged path is also a little more crowded during this time.
Every morning at seven o'clock, at the beginning of the trail down the mountain, a teenager arrives with two Pokémon.
Today, too.
Takumi, who was wearing only black shorts and a black tight tank top, lowered his head and looked at the two brightly colored Pokémon at his feet, and a sense of satisfaction came to him.
The six tails, which had grown five and a half tails, were covered with bright maroon hair, and the tail, which had been a little bare before, was now covered with fluffy orange hair, and it had already shown its beautiful demeanor.
On the other side, although the little Lada looks smaller, it looks extraordinarily energetic.
"Today is the same as usual, run to the top of the mountain in one go, and don't stop halfway!"
"Yo ......"
"Little Lada!"
Running up this familiar mountain road, Takumi's eyes were constantly scanning the road ahead, and he hadn't forgotten that when he was in the mission world, he teamed up with Musashi and Kojiro to successfully sneak up on the trainer of the rumble stone on this mountain road.
Tuohai naturally didn't want to become a tragedy himself, so this caution has always been firmly remembered by him, and he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
Forty minutes later, however, Takumi was lying on his back on the top of the mountain, proving that the world was relatively harmonious most of the time, especially in the area close to the town, where there were still a handful of people like Musashi and Kojiro who dug traps on the road at every turn.
"Six-tails, little Lada, rest for half an hour, we'll have a swimming practice later!"
Little Lada's expression was fine, but the face of the Six Tails suddenly shrugged down, and Takumi couldn't help but pick it up and hold it high above his head.
"This will not only exercise your physical fitness, but also make you improve your resistance to water, don't say no!"
"But, after all, you don't like water, I'll let you go ashore often......"
Looking at the six tails who had regained their spirits, the corners of Takumi's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
It's a real world, and nothing is impossible.
For example, Zhiye's skin god, with the same character as Zhiye, who does not admit defeat, has defeated many strong enemies with an ordinary electric mouse, which is impossible if you look at the so-called race value.
No matter how good it is, Team Rocket's Meow Meow, through his own efforts, has learned human language and walked upright, and even in some ways, Meowmeow's wisdom has surpassed many ordinary people.
"There is hard work, there is gain!"
I opened the light blue interface of the 'system' and examined my [information].
"ID: 7027."
"Ability: [Katy Dog's Nose - Phase 1]."
"Item: [Disposable Skill Card - Paralysis Powder] x1."
"Pokémon: two; Six-tailed, small Lada. ”
Further open the 'Pokémon' option, and brief information about the two Pokémon appears on the light blue screen.
"Six Tails: Early Childhood."
"Characteristic: Fire."
"Little Lada: Early Childhood."
"Trait: Perseverance."
Glancing at the little Lada, who was grinding his teeth next to a stone, Takumi secretly admired his eyes.
Among the small Lada, who have to slip away when they see Pokémon in the wild, it is still relatively rare for a small Lada with the trait 'Perseverance' to appear.
In this real world, neither traits nor skills can be viewed as a game.
A perseverance trait means that this little Lada can break through himself more resolutely during his usual exercises, and when fighting, a pokémon who is resolute and does not admit defeat is far more useful than a cowardly Pokémon.
After resting for a long time and feeling that his physical strength had recovered, Takumi did not procrastinate, and began to train in an orderly manner according to the training plan he had formulated.
It wasn't until the sun was setting that Takumi retrieved the two Pokémon and trotted all the way back to the courtyard.
"Takumi is back......"
"Wait a minute, it's going to be dinner soon......"
Takumi smiled, listening to these boys and girls who were a few years older than him greeting him, Takumi felt more and more that there was a taste of 'home' here.
"It's a pity, I'm a wanderer after all......"
Looking at the group of people with smiles on their faces, Takumi felt a little regretful in his heart, but this bit of emotion was swept away by him in a blink of an eye.
"Wait until you have the opportunity to help them have a better future as much as possible......"
Thinking like this in his heart, Takumi had already begun to set up the table with everyone, and the laughter and laughter were all in one.
……
"What?! Takumi: Are you ready to go out? ”
"It's dangerous in the wild......"
“……”
At the dining table, Tuohai's long-thinking words came out, and sure enough, they caused everyone to exclaim.
Regarding the fact that Takumi is going to start the Pokémon Trainer cultivation journey, only Meisha, Marsha, and Shinji are the only three people who know, so in the environment where everyone is gossiping about Takumi, some of these three people are just silent, because they know that it will be sooner or later, but they didn't expect it to be so sudden.
"Why do you want to go now?"
After everyone's discussion stopped, Mei Sha spoke softly.
Scratching his head, Takumi released the six tails in the baby ball, and whispered while stroking the soft fur of the six tails.
"It's not right now! You see, the sixth tail of the six tails has grown more than half, and by the time the beauty of its tail fully blooms, it means that the six tails have the most basic combat ability. ”
"I decided to set off at that time, and I took advantage of this time, from three to five days to more than ten days, to prepare for the trip."
Sandwiching a piece of sashimi in front of Rokuo's mouth, watching Rokuo chew slowly, Takumi continued.
"The minimum price of the space backpack is 50,000 yuan, which I can't afford now, but I have to prepare other necessary items in advance to avoid being in a hurry."
Nodding, Mesa's long green hair obscured Takumi's gaze from looking at her, making it impossible for Takumi to know what Misa's heart was thinking at this time.
But within a few seconds, Meisha raised her wine glass arrogantly and shouted at her companions.
"Tuohai is leaving, we will naturally not stop him, we will only silently bless him at home. However, since he hasn't left yet, I think it's necessary to get him drunk a few times, otherwise there will be fewer chances in the future! ”
Looking at the many wine glasses stretched out in front of him, the corners of Takumi's mouth twitched a few times, and he glanced at Meisha, who was snickering, and had no choice but to refuse.
"Come on, come on, I don't believe I can't put a few down before I'm drunk!"
"Hahaha, don't brag!"
With a burst of laughter, the atmosphere at the table returned to normal, no, it should be an extraordinarily warm atmosphere......
By the time Takumi woke up, it was already three poles in the sun.
Rubbing his head with a headache due to hangover, Takumi reluctantly got out of bed, picked up a cup of cold white on the table that he didn't know who put it there, and Takumi directly put it all down in one go.
Lazily moving around the room, Takumi was ready for a thorough rest today.
However, he wanted to rest, but Meisha and the others, who had already gotten up, refused to let him rest.
The moment he stepped into the courtyard, everyone sprang into action, and a large group of people gathered around Takumi and walked towards the center of the town, ready to take Takumi to shop and contribute to Takumi's training journey.
In desperation, Takumi had no choice but to give up the idea of taking Rokuo and Little Lada to bask in the sun, and ran around various stores with everyone, bargaining in front of the shopkeeper.
……
Relaxed and happy days always pass quickly, and after the first few days of excessive care, the lives of Maisa and the others are back on track, but their care is reflected in the rich dishes at dinner every day.
And Takumi also resumed his regular life for a period of time, and when he exercised with Rokuo and Little Lada, he also sharpened his physique.
On the fortieth day after returning from the mission world, the appearance of the six tails finally became similar to the image in Takumi's mind.
A Pokémon with reddish-brown fur, a white belly, and a fox with six beautiful tails!
The [Information] option of the 'system' is more directly to help Takumi confirm the state of the six tails at this time.
"Six Tails: The Growth Period."
"Characteristic: Fire."
"Skill: Spark; Wagging tail. ”
What makes Takumi even happier is that because the growth cycle of the little Lada is obviously faster than that of the six tails, when the six tails arrive in the growth period, Takumi's little Lada also enters the growth period, which means that it also has basic combat ability.
"Little Lada: Formative Days."
"Trait: Perseverance."
"Skill: Impact; Wagging tail. ”
Very curious about what the actual combat effect of the tail wagging of the two Pokémon is, Takumi directly uses himself as a target, feeling the 'tail wagging' attack of the two Pokémon.
It's just that whether it was the six tails gently shaking the beautiful six tails, or the little Lada shaking the slightly curly little purple tail, Takumi didn't feel anything abnormal.
However, Meisha, who was passing by, saw the two Pokémon wagging their tails, trotted over and squinted, and gently stroked the two Pokémon, which made Takumi have a guess about the skill of 'tail wagging'.
"Perhaps, this skill is a skill for Pokémon to reduce its vigilance and hostility when facing opponents, but if the opponent is determined to kill it, this skill will have no effect at all......"
With his conjectures in mind, Takumi decided that he could try to verify them when he had time.
Early the next morning, before it was too light, Takumi, who had already decided to leave, was packing all kinds of necessary items in the room, and a sneaky figure came in.
Looking at Mei Sha, who looked indifferent after being discovered, Takumi couldn't help but be a little speechless, and before he could ask Mei Sha's intentions, the light blue backpack that looked ordinary was held in his hand by a pair of white and tender little hands and handed to his eyes.
"There are so many things pressed on my body, I'm afraid you won't be able to run if you encounter any danger, it just so happens that I have saved some pocket money myself, and this space backpack will be given to you......"
Looking at Meisha with a relaxed and casual face, Takumi was silent for a while, before taking the backpack in Meisha's hand and speaking softly.
"Thank you, Meisa......"
