Chapter 80: Gifting
There are about 100 elves in the aquarium, and it is not easy to pack them all into a ball. Fortunately, the Shiruf company is still measured, and did not put in the brave and fierce elves such as tyrannosaurus carp and giant pincer crabs, but chose more ornamental and tame horned goldfish and baby sea lions to raise. This made the empty mission much less difficult, and with the arrival of breeders and maintenance personnel, the capture went quite smoothly.
Sora stares at his target, a white sea lion.
He didn't strike right away, but clenched the Poké Ball in his hand. Capture is a technical job, and the timing, position, and strength of the pitch need to be judged by the trainer himself. A lot of novices don't understand this, they just blindly throw the ball and leave it to their fate.
First of all, he had to calculate his relative position to the elf, squinting his eyes and calculating the distance in his mind. The hand holding the ball has changed from one to two, and the mass of the high-level ball is much higher than that of the ordinary Poké Ball, and he has to transfer his strength to the ball as much as possible.
Energy acupuncture points in ...... Tail!
"Shalt-" Kong took a breath and opened his eyes, he had locked on to his target!
First the feet!
"Brush!" I saw his right leg suddenly retreat half a step, and the force was so strong that the soles of his shoes made an unpleasant grinding sound.
And then there'...... Shoulder!
"Whew!" The right arm holding the ball moved, bringing a breeze with it. The arm is waved forward and upward, and then the shoulder is used as the axis to make a circle around the arm, which is to throw the ball by centrifugal force.
"Drink!" With a soft snort, Huo Ran let go of the ball when the centrifugal force reached its maximum, turning into a streamer and shooting towards the white sea lion.
"Whoa!" The white sea lion in the distance was directly hit by the Poké Ball before it could react, and in the end, it only had time to let out a scream before turning into a red light and disappearing in place.
"Whew-" Sora let out a cloudy breath before asking Nana to pick up the ball. He wasn't worried at all that the white sea lion would come out of the ball, thanks to the excellent workmanship of the high-level ball, and on the other hand, he was confident in his own strength, in fact, he had never seen an elf who could break free from the ball after being hit at the energy acupuncture point. Whether it is a human or an elf, there will be a violent paralysis at the moment when an important acupuncture point is attacked, which is caused by the obstruction of nerve signal transmission.
Zhenghui on the side was already stunned, and the left and right bows when he dealt with the horned goldfish and the ink seahorse in the air before had opened his eyes, but at this moment, the one-armed pitch was even more shocking, and the kung fu white sea lion was captured in just the blink of an eye. It seems that this junior is not only quite researched in academics, but also has an amazing talent in combat.
He didn't know that this trick was learned from the loop-around pitch in a baseball game in his previous life, although the ball was fast and powerful, but the relatively long pitching time was also longer, and it was easy to miss the target in the face of nimble enemies. Sora is actually better at capturing with bows and arrows, and after two years of continuous practice, he has been able to shoot within 200 meters without missing a shot.
"Whoop~Whoa~" I don't know if I was frightened by the "murderous aura" revealed during the air pitch, in the subsequent capture, the group of little sea lions were very uncooperative, they rowed briskly through the stagnant water on the floor, but they refused to be caught.
"Nana! [Reflecting Wall]" Under the order of the air, countless transparent walls rose in vain in the hall, dividing the space into small pieces, and also making the little sea lions have no way to retreat.
"You're going to run again~Little thing~"
Ten minutes later, Sora "smirked" and forced the last little sea lion into the corner, and the guy in front of him not only used the [Freezing Light] to almost make him slip, but also tried to use the [Head Hammer] to hit the [Reflection Wall] set by Nana, which was really infuriating.
"Whew-" The little sea lion let out a terrible wail, Mother, this human being is so terrible!
"Walk you!" Sora swung a poke ball vigorously, ignoring the other party's trembling and tears in the corners of his eyes, and forcefully collected it into the goal. Under the influence of his grandfather Eagle Sihong, Sora himself didn't notice that he had some violent tendencies. And these elves are not unwilling to score, they are simply frightened by his pitching posture. Because as long as you are not blind, you can see that it must be a huge pain to be hit by that kind of ball.
"There's still ...... left" Sora looked behind his left, and an elegant elf stood there, who else was it not a dragon?
Sora walked towards her, holding a Poké Ball in his hand.
"Ang~" Chenglong saw that he was done, and he also slapped his fins and staggered over.
"You ......" looked at the unadulterated eyes, and Sora was speechless again, he didn't know what was wrong with him, whether it was sympathy for this graceful creature or just nostalgia for good things. Anyway, he didn't want to lock her up in the ball.
"Aang?" Chenglong glanced at the human in front of him, and didn't understand why he didn't speak again. However, she didn't care, because in the elf world, many things don't need to be communicated in words. She turned her head, took something out of the groove of her carapace, and placed it in front of the air.
"My energy cube box?" Sora stretched out his hand to take it, thinking that he had been lost in the water, and he didn't want to be picked up by her.
"Ang~" Chenglong swayed his long neck and made a gesture of catching the ball.
"You want to play catch-and-roll too?" Sora asked tentatively, and he saw a look of longing in the other man's eyes. Yes, who can play with her in that tiny sink? Shiruf treats her as a mascot, tourists only see her as a rare elf, and even the elves in the box see her as an alien. The difference in intelligence makes Chenglong seem out of place, so Sora didn't see her twice, no family, no friends, what else can he do but sleep?
Thinking of this, Sora didn't hesitate any longer, he quickly opened the energy cube box and adjusted the pointer to the sweet cube.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, several pink squares had flown out.
"Aang!" Chenglong flexibly swung his slender neck and took them in his mouth one by one. Looking at her excitement, I don't know if I'm satisfied with Sora's craftsmanship or just enjoy the process of the game.
"Come again!" Sora threw out a few more pink squares.
"Aang?" Chenglong was just about to catch it, when a shadow flew out horizontally and snatched the block away.
"Babble!" Needless to say, it must be Nana. The sweet cube has always been her exclusive snack, and she certainly won't watch it snatched away.
"Don't use [telekinesis] to cheat~" Sora didn't think there was anything wrong with Nana, and besides, the game should have been more difficult to be interesting. He began to throw all kinds of colored squares together instead of pink squares.
Chenglong didn't know the cat greasy at first, and he took it into his mouth no matter what color, and suffered a big loss. But she soon discovered that pink squares were the most delicious, while green (bitter) was the most unpalatable. However, she is still no match for the nimble cats, and even if she wants to take care of them, she will have to spend a lot of effort to grab one or two. But Chenglong is still enjoying it, just look at the way she shakes her head, she likes to play games and play with others.
The energy cubes are consumed very quickly, especially after the rejuvenated Nini joins, and the number is greatly reduced. In less than 20 minutes, a large box (200 capsules) of energy cubes was gone. Although there is an empty spare box, it is left in the hotel, and it is too late to go back and get it.
"Ang~" Seeing that the air waved the box that had bottomed out in his hand, Chenglong screamed in disappointment. As wise as she is, she knows that it is time to separate. In fact, when she was in the aquarium, there were occasional children who were willing to interact with her, either slapping the glass to get her attention, or running after her, but unsurprisingly, they only stayed for a moment and left.
This human ...... Will it be the same?
"I won't forget you." Sora understood Chenglong's loss, patted her on the neck and said that he didn't dare to make other promises, because he himself was not sure when he would come to Golden City again.
Nana, who had gained a lot just now, had returned to his shoulders and did not disturb them, she had also experienced the feeling of parting, and it was a parting of life and death. It was a lingering feeling of regret, loneliness, and sadness, but luckily she had her owner and stupid dog by her side all the time.
At this time, Zhenghui, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't stand it anymore, he carefully avoided Nana's gaze, and said to the sky: "This dragon seems to like you very much~"
"Well, I have a crush on her too." Sora doesn't deny his feelings, although he would love to have her, but Chenglong is the mascot of the Shiruf Company after all.
"You don't have a water elf yet." Zhenghui pointed to the empty waist and said, there were only two Poke Balls on the belt.
“…… That's right. Listening to Zhenghui's words, a small expectation suddenly rose in the hollow heart, could it be ......
"Then I'll give you this dragon! Anyway, there is such a big problem with the aquarium, and it will take a long time to rebuild it. "Zhenghui told the truth, instead of keeping Chenglong in the ball for a long time, it is better for her to start a new life with a trainer who is willing to cherish her.
"Great!" Sora shook his fist excitedly, and then became a little worried, "Is it really okay to do this?" She's ......."
"Don't worry. I'm also the technical director of the R&D department of Shrouf, so I still have this right. Zhenghui interrupted Sora's words and said proudly.
"That's—thank you very much!" Sora knew that he had received a great favor from others this time, so he bowed to Zhenghui to the end.
"Don't! Don't be so polite! Zhenghui was thin-skinned and couldn't bear the empty gift, so he hurriedly helped him up, "It should be that I thank you, you caught the members of Team Rocket over there, I saw it from the surveillance video, if you don't help Shiruf, he will inevitably face greater losses." Say hi to your new friends. ”
Hearing this, he turned his gaze to Chenglong, who was on the side, and found that she was also looking at herself, her gaze was still so gentle. He walked over, and this time he no longer flinched, but looked her in the eye with unwavering eyes, and said, "Do you want to come with me?" ”
"Ang—" Chenglong rubbed his cheek and replied with his own actions.
