Chapter Eighty-Six: Little Grass

If it could, walking grass would rather not evolve.

If you want to ask why, just look at this bleak scene around the courtyard, everything is withering and stinking.

She'd been living here for so long that she had almost forgotten what the outside world was like, so long that she thought she would be here forever.

Perhaps the Kamio family has little memory of when Walkgrass lived in the yard, but it is still fresh in her memory, because these are the few important memories in her shallow experience.

Many people think that the Pokémon world is a wonderful, vibrant, and utopian place that cannot be overstated no matter how many words are used to describe it. Actually, there is nothing wrong with thinking so, and it can even be said that it is more beautiful than you think, with vast forests, green grasslands, blue oceans, eternal blue skies, and of course, the elves that inhabit it. These fascinating things attract countless trainers and adventurers to explore and discover every year.

But let's not forget that where there are creatures, there is strife, and this is not only for the human being, but also in the primitive wilderness. And the walking grass is a part of this law of the jungle, or rather......

Eliminators.

She had been like one since she was born, and instinctively and carefully lived in the too vast forest. Grass elves, especially those of the plant type like walking grass, are very weak at birth. They move slowly, attack the weak, and have no advantage at all in the fight for food and territory. Those who are lucky enough to be born into the pack will find some shelter, but most of them will have to survive while avoiding predators.

The walking grass is so strong and lonely to live, just like the real grass that can be seen everywhere in nature, no one is distressed, and it is growing. In the countless times of avoiding strong enemies, learn how to give full play to the specialty of [grass] - breathing; In the days of hunger, learn to use [photosynthesis] to replenish energy; In the coldest winters, learn to bury yourself deep in the ground and soak up the faintest warmth.

If she hadn't strayed into the territory of the giant bees and eaten their fruits, her life might have gone on like this......

"Da ......" small walking grass runs in the forest at night. It was dark now, but every time she encountered a broken branch or a dirt pit, she could always swing her two short legs in time and jump over it dexterously.

"Buzz! Buzz! Not far behind her, a large group of needle bees were in pursuit. They have neither night vision nor excellent perception, and simply track enemies by the sound of footsteps in front of them.

The night provided the best protection for the walking grass, so that she has not been caught up so far.

I only ate two, why......

"Whoosh!" Without thinking too much, a [Missile Needle] had already flown towards her mercilessly.

“……!” The grass rolled on the ground, dodging the fatal blow, and her memory reminded her that it was really painful to be pricked by such a long needle.

"Whoosh!" Several more [Missile Needles] shot out and landed on the trajectory of the rolling grass, looking like they were all killed. Needle bees are definitely the overlords of the forest, not only because of their personality, but also because of their numbers when they come out of the nest. Even apex predators such as eagles and large-billed finches will not easily provoke them if they are not necessary.

I didn't have time to shake off the dirt that stuck to my body, and I got up as soon as I walked, and I started to flee again without stopping.

Run!

Come on!

Definitely can't be caught up!

Walking grass was scared, and she forced herself not to scream, because she knew that it would only alarm more enemies.

The forest at night is like a beast that chooses to devour people, opening its huge black mouth, waiting for its prey to fall into the net. The branches of different heights and the tangled trees pounced on her with teeth and claws, constantly eroding the courage to walk.

Although the forest is large, where can a small walking grass hide?

The walking grass did not stop, even if the body was scarred by the branches, even if the legs became sore during the run, even if the eyes could not see where the road was. She just wanted to live......

I don't know how long I ran, but when I came back to my senses, there was no chasing soldier behind me. The plants on both sides have become sparse and thin, and the trees are no longer as obscured as before. The moon hung high in the night sky, and the bright moonlight spilled through the gaps in the branches and leaves, imprinting sparse shadows.

This is...... Where?

She was relieved to get rid of the walking grass of the big needle bee, but the unfamiliar environment still made her feel uneasy. Sometimes, the unknown is the most terrifying.

Walking grass slowed his pace, wondering why the enemy wasn't chasing after him, and praying that no other enemies would be around. Fortunately, she walked dozens of meters without encountering any problems. was congratulating on her luck, but the next moment, she stepped on the air and went down the slope, and suddenly rolled into a ball.

"Tss

It turned out that under the relaxation of his mind, the walking grass did not realize that he had reached the end of the forest. Ahead of us is the human city.

"Tsk." Walking grass crawls up in embarrassment, although she does not yet have great strength, but her body is very strong. The roll just now didn't do much except make her grin and tears in the corners of her eyes. But......

How do you get back?

Walking grass looked at the "Wanzhang Cliff" behind him, and then looked at his little short legs, and fell into a tangle.

(You may not believe it, but walking grass can't learn [rattan whip]...... )

Let's find a place to hide.

Thinking so, she stumbled all the way into the backyard of Kamio's house, found an inconspicuous corner, and planted herself. In the fertile soil, Meimei fell into a deep sleep, and she did not know that this stay would be 5 years......

When the former walking grass and the current stinky flower looked at the sky with a calm and slightly sad expression, he was also looking at her. Although the current situation does not allow him to think too much, and the smell is invading his nasal cavity all the time, there are still many memories of the other party flashing in his mind.

[easy to be lonely] character, afraid of life, like quiet. You don't have a lot of pickiness when you eat, and you can eat it even if it's not spicy. I like to be watered, but I hate heavy rain, and when I encounter a thunderstorm, I will quietly hide under the rain eaves to avoid the rain, and I will shiver when I hear thunder. I like soft and moist soil, so if no one disturbs me, I can stay in it for a day and come out again in the evening. She prefers the cold moonlight to the scorching sun. It's very comfortable to be touched by someone, and if you pull it hard, it will jump up and kick your knee......

It turns out that I don't know when it started, but Sora has been paying attention to this little grass.

Sora reached out and wanted to caress her leaves as before.

Seeing this, "......" Stinky Flower took half a step back and dodged. She didn't know what kind of mood she was in to avoid and feel inferior? Cowardice? Still worried?

Sora didn't care what kind of mood she was in, he stretched out his hand, stubbornly grabbed the other party's blade, and kidnapped her in front of him.

"Do you want to just hide for the rest of your life?"

"......" Stinky Flower lowered her head, not daring to look into the empty eyes. After living here for so long, she has long been able to understand human language.

Seeing that the other party still looked dejected, he felt a burst of annoyance in his heart for no reason: "Isn't it just a little stinky?" In the end, it's just a smell, and you can't kill anyone! ”

As he spoke, he ripped off the mask on his face and took a deep breath in front of the stinky flower.

"Suck-"

Kamio died at the age of 8......

That's weird!

"Ahem, ahem!" Although he didn't stink to death, Sora also paid the price for his recklessness. The breath made him dizzy and delirious, and there was only one thought left in his head.

Damn, isn't it really poisonous?

However, when he met the "expectant" gaze of the stinky flower, he still forced a laugh twice, held back the churning of his chest and abdomen, and said: "Hehe~ Look, it's not a big deal~"

"Tsk." The squinting eyes of the stinky flower opened two slits, and looked at the human in front of him, as if to see if the other party was lying. She is actually very familiar with the air, and is usually fed and watered by him, and she also likes the other party to touch her leaves. Whether Sora lied or not, at least he was the first person willing to approach her in the past few days.

Her thoughts have been cleared, but Sora has been "bleeding". He felt that if he had been two years ago, he would have been lying down by now.

Thank you, Grandpa, for saving your grandson's life.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Sora feels that the smell around him has dissipated somewhat, not as pungent as before, and so durable.

"Is it controllable?" Sora felt that it wasn't his own delusion, and he asked the stinky flower.

"Tsk!" Stinky Flower nodded, just now, after she calmed down, she seemed to be able to restrain her smell. This smell is actually a kind of protection for itself by stinky flowers, and when encountering danger or mood fluctuations, the smell will be particularly strong, and it can certainly be restrained in the case of calmness. She's just just evolving, and she's still a little uncomfortable. However, the intensity of this smell is really too alarming, and the neighbors will definitely call the police if it continues to be a weapon.

As the stench dissipates, a unique fragrance emerges from the bones of the stinky flowers. After smelling it, I only felt refreshed and relaxed.

"It's so fragrant~ Is this your original taste?" Sora touched the stinky flower's head encouragingly.

This time, the stinky flower didn't dodge, and she pushed the flower on her head harder to sow more pollen.

This elegant fragrance reminds me of kapok and bauhinia, and their fragrances are so light that they can't be smelled if they don't get close or pay attention. It's just like the stinky flower in front of you.

The positive and negative sides of many things are only in one thought, whether it is fragrant and smelly, beautiful and ugly. Sora today has a deeper understanding of this truth. Elves have very simple hearts, and even if you give a little love, you will be recognized and appreciated by them.

Sora pulled out a blank Poké Ball, and Stinky looked up at him, as if she knew what was going to happen next.

"Beep-"

The switch of the ball touched the forehead of the stinky flower, and a familiar red light flashed, and without hindrance, she was taken into the ball.

Sora put the ball in front of him, looked at the little elf inside, and said, "Please take care of it in the future~"
