"Sit down, don't stand stupidly, do you have time to listen to the old man's ramblings?"

"Huh? Why don't you sit? ”

The old village chief looked at Yu Xian, who was looking at himself stupidly and had not sat down for a long time, and asked suspiciously.

"Village chief, I'm a fish."

"Oh oh, ahem, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The hospitality is not good, I sit by myself, you... You can do whatever you want. ”

Yu Xian glanced at the village chief angrily, and then leaned against the tree wall in a posture that he thought was more comfortable. I don't know if it's an illusion, but it feels that the fin torn when using the hold has grown faintly after healing, and although it is not enough to fully support itself to "stand", it is far from being comparable to other carp kings who can only lie horizontally.

"You're new here, aren't you?"

Waiting until Yu Xian sat firmly, the village chief slowly spoke. The sunlight reflected a ray of light on the village chief's glasses, making Yu Xian unable to see the village chief's appearance clearly, and there was an indescribable mystery.

Yu Xian nodded.

"Do you know what this place is?"

"Abandonment... Forest? ”

It seems to be such a word that Larulath said.

"Yes, abandoned forests. Do you know where this abandoned forest is? ”

Yu Xian shook his head, he really didn't know. After all, it didn't appear in the original book, but I knew from Mao Ye's mouth that the place where he and Ash competed for Poké Balls was a river that was very easy to catch Pokemon.

According to the geographical distribution, the river should also be counted in the abandoned forest. If you continue to reason, it should not be too far from Zhenxin Town, after all, two nine-year-old children have also appeared here.

"The Abandoned Forest wasn't actually called that."

“？”

As soon as Yu Xian wanted to ask out loud, he was interrupted by the village chief waving his wings. Yu Xian was silent, and the village chief continued to speak.

"Once upon a time, it was a forest with no name. I don't know what day it was, the first pokemon with the mark of disgrace appeared here. No one knows who it is, maybe it's a little Lada, maybe it's a bobo, who knows. ”

"Mark of Shame?"

"Yes, the Mark of Dishonor, like the one on your forehead, the mark of the Poké Balls and the Trainer's abandonment."

Yu Xian touched the "D" on his forehead with his beard, and there seemed to be a residual pain.

"Elves who possess this symbol are not only abandoned by trainers, but are often not seen even among wild elves. No one wants to accept such a weak being into their own race, not even if they are of the same kind. ”

"No one knows how many mountains this elf has climbed and how many rivers he has waded. All I know is that in the end it stopped in the Abandoned Forest, and ended up staying here. ”

"The tribe here has accepted it?"

"Accept?"

The village chief stared at Yu Xian with burning eyes and shook his head solemnly.

"The king will not accept mercy."

"And it..."

"It has defeated all the elves, yes, with its disliked aptitude and useless character by the trainers, it has defeated all the strong men in this boundless forest. It is said that on that day, it was raining, and it stood in the rain, looking at the overlords who had fallen to the ground, and said nothing. He silently found a cave to use as his habitat, and from that day on, the area around the cave became the king's domain, and the elf became the first king of the forsaken forest. ”

"The First King?"

"Yes, the First King!"

As the village chief's words fell, Yu Xian's ears roared, and he only felt that the qi and blood in his whole body were boiling uncontrollably, as if he was about to burst out.

Yu Xian suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked forcefully.

"That's... And what about later? Did the first king drive out all the strong elves and turn the forsaken forest into a home for the forsaken elves? ”

The village chief shook his head again and looked up at the sky outside the window.

"Yes, that's what everybody thinks, even the elves who were defeated. But the first king did nothing, it was like forgetting the great battle in the rain that day, still eating tree fruits, drinking stream water, constantly exercising himself, constantly becoming stronger, no different from other elves. ”

On the contrary, those strong men who were defeated by the king could not stand this shame and chose to leave themselves. After I don't know how long it was, the strong people who had left came back en masse. Once again, they challenged the First King. It was also a rainy night, a timeless scuffle, and most of the huge abandoned forest was destroyed. In the end, the strong men were lost, and only four of them remained, and they were the later two generations of four kings. It was also that night that the fate of the abandoned forest was changed. ”

The first king chose to leave the next day and returned the original forest to the four kings. Out of respect for the first king, the four kings named the nameless forest the forsaken forest, and enshrined the words left by the first king as the law of the strong of the forsaken forest, which has been passed down from generation to generation. Later, more and more elves came to abandon the forest, which gave the forest its name. ”

When the old village chief said this, he paused and asked suddenly.

"Do you hate the trainer who abandoned you?"

"Of course I hate."

Yu Xian nodded.

Can you not hate, smashed a bag of yourself, and if you have the opportunity to see it, you must smash it back.

"You should think so, but not the first king. The first king once said that only he can make himself weak, and only he can make himself strong. It doesn't hate trainers, it hates only its own weakness. It waited in the Forsaken Forest for the strong to return, then defeated them, and only after proving its strength did it unshackle itself and allow itself to step out of the forest. ”

And this unwritten rule has been passed down to this day, and the Four Kings have always demanded this from themselves. As long as the humans who came to abandon the forest did not invade us excessively, we would not attack them out of grudges. And for those strong who do not admit defeat, they also need to be tested like the first king when they need to leave the forest, and they are allowed to step out of the forsaken forest. ”

"Why are you saying this to me?"

Yu Xian looked at the village chief in confusion, and there was a feeling that told it that things would not be so simple, and the village chief would not simply tell it stories.

The village chief did not answer Yu Xian's words, but answered some questions that were not asked.

"Although the four kings are all very powerful, they are not strong enough to become the four kings. In that war, although the two kings survived, everyone was left with a cross scar by the first king. Those few deep scars bear witness to the inheritance of the first king and the second generation of four kings. From that day on, the cross became a must-have symbol for kings. Today, the cross is no longer a scar, but an innate physiological state. It is not necessary to have a cross cross to become a four kings, but to become a four kings, there must be a cross cross. ”

"Don't look at the harmony in the abandoned forest now, in fact, there is an undercurrent surging inside. The current four kings are far stronger than the previous generation, and because of this, the four kings are constantly fighting openly and secretly, and they have to fight in a melee three months later to elect the only king. If this scuffle breaks out, the abandoned forest will definitely be destroyed. No matter how resilient the forest is, the losses will be devastating. Unless the fifth king can appear at this time, and challenge the four kings separately with the posture of the fifth king, and turn the original melee into a one-on-one elven battle, the loss can be minimized. ”

The more Yu Xian listened, the more confused he became, four kings for a while, and five kings for a while. One will be a cross, another will be a crisis, what is this for? I don't have a cross, you tell me a ball, why do you feel that this old boy is fooling me to challenge the four kings? Does it know I'm a different king carp?

Maybe that's the man!

Everywhere you go, you can't hide the radiance on your body.

"What, I'm a carp king, and I don't have any crosses on me, you know, right?"

The village chief seemed to be smiling.

"Oh? yes. ”

"Why don't you look at your beard, is it a cross?"
