Page 49 On the Road
The spring breeze blows the earth that has woken up from the awe-inspiring winter, and the new greenery stretches and grows wantonly between the mountains and rivers. Somewhere on a sunny slope in the endless green plain, under a few tall trees that had sprouted, a group of strange creatures who had finally quieted down after a long time of noise were enjoying their own pleasant afternoons.
In the shadows cast by the still sparse branches of the tree that towered almost into the clouds, it took at least five or six people to hug it, and a forked bat gathered its broad wings and fell under a thick branch, its body swaying with the breeze and the swaying of the branches, and from time to time moving its joints in search of a more comfortable position. In the shadows cast by the trees over the meadow, a sturdy King Nido, clad in shining armor, was napping with his back against the roots of the trees, his eyes squinting slightly. Leaning on its legs, there was a gala that had fallen into a dream, but even though it was asleep, its long, thick arms were still clinging to the thick bone rod that it regarded as a second life.
At the top of the hillside, in the middle of a small meadow enjoying the strongest sunshine, a tall coconut egg tree was swaying from side to side, sunbathing, and its three heads were muttering for a while when it was pleased. Not far from it, among the low grass, lay a sleeping frog grass, and the flower buds behind this four-leaf clover patch on its forehead seemed to reflect a strange brilliance in the sunlight. In the distance, a five-size-three-thick electric shock beast was rolling back and forth over the grass, looking for a suitable place to sleep or simply annoyed by the nervous whispers of the coconut egg trees.
On the sunny side of another equally thick tree on the small slope, a nine-tailed with luxurious and supple fur and a startled deer with the same supple fur are lying next to each other, and the two of them are basking in the sun while talking in a low voice, the nine-tailed eyes turn a few times from time to time, and the corners of the mouth are often showing shallow smiles of unknown meaning. And in the tail of the Nine-Tails lies this strong little fire dragon on its side, this little guy with a round stone hanging on his neck and a large scar on his belly is resting comfortably among the soft long hair, and in a daze, it still tries to grab the tail that is moving around mischievously with its claws from time to time, but it always fails to do so.
In the shaded grass shaded by the canopy, there is also a huge tortoise shell that also hides from the sun, and the wide and thick tortoise shell not only shields itself from the sun, but also provides natural shade for the group of people hiding in the shade. A big-headed and frail Hudi, a well-built, muscular Gotha duck, a happy egg staring at someone with big eyes and a caring gaze, a variety monster writhing happily on someone's belly, and someone who has fallen asleep share the shade.
Suddenly, the wind blew harder, and from the side of the tortoise shell crept out a skinny sully paddle, which moved cautiously against the tortoiseshell, its hand tightly pinching its pendulum, its nose constantly stirring. It seems to have smelled the scent of a sweet dream and is desperate to feast on it.
Unfortunately, it didn't work out. As soon as he approached the tortoiseshell, he was immediately caught by the loyal Cutty Dog, who had been guarding him from afar, and the brave, loyal and fearless little creature jumped in front of the sneaky Sully Shoot in a fighting posture and silently bared his teeth at it, warning it not to go any further. Su Li Pai repeatedly waved at the Katy Dog to get rid of the Katy Dog but in exchange for its tougher confrontational attitude, this little guy approached Su Li Pai step by step, so angry that it gritted its teeth but could not do anything.
The wind blew again, mixed with a few dead branches and leaves, blowing the new leaves of the branches and the new shoots of the young grass. It seemed that two carefully hidden figures, one green and one red, were blown out of the grass.
Spring is a busy time, but it doesn't seem like a bad thing to take a break in the busy sunny afternoon, does it?
Someone who was sleeping peacefully twisted his body and moved his mouth to continue his sweet dream.

Saying goodbye to Aster did make Merlin feel more relaxed, and getting out of the cold woodland that made him feel cold and uncomfortable all over his body made him almost have the illusion of coming back to life, but no matter how much he deceived himself and comforted himself, he had to admit one fact, that is, he was not happy. The bizarre experience at Shion seems to have taken away something less important but essential from Merlin's body, and he is always lost, occasionally tossing and turning, and often feeling an inexplicable sense of emptiness.
Merlin didn't know where these strange feelings came from and why they followed, he combed through the extraordinary experience of just a few days in Aster over and over again, trying to find out what he had done and what he had lost, but the search over and over again only made him more suspicious, more confused, more lost, he seemed to have retreated from some great conspiracy, but it seemed that this conspiracy was still continuing, still unsolved, still enveloping him, still affecting him.
This depressed and negative feeling bothered Merlin for a while, until he and his companions walked in the bright sun for a few days, as if this spring sunshine that could awaken all things could also dispel the gloom in his heart, Merlin finally had a smile, a smile with shadows.
Of course, the clever companions were also keenly aware of Merlin's amiss, and they all made their own efforts, trying to make Merlin happy, trying to get Merlin out of that inexplicable shadow, but the effect was not ideal, so they began to use all kinds of drastic measures to try to wake up Merlin-like actual combat training, regular exercises for overdrafting, and special exercises for the far limit......
When Merlin, who had been in a trance, suddenly realized the ordinary, even somewhat masochistic training and strange behavior of his companions, he realized that he was abnormal, and he immediately knew that he had to come out and return to normal, not only because he cared so much about his companions.
So Merlin is normal, deliberately forgetting the things that bother him, deliberately avoiding the unexplainable, summing up all his enthusiasm and passion, letting all kinds of things take up all his free time, leaving his mind without leisure to think...... In short, Merlin has put the Shion experience behind for the time being, at least on the surface. Even though he would wake up in the middle of the night......
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
After all, human beings are social creatures, and not communicating with their own kind for a long time will cause some invisible but tangible harm and change to human beings, even Merlin is no exception. While he was able to communicate with his friends to relieve some of this bad savings, it would be great for Merlin to have the opportunity to interact with real humans even if it was to look at them.
So when he met a group of young trainers traveling with four people on the endless plains, he couldn't help but be a little excited, and he arrogantly challenged the twelve Pokémon of the four of them, and neatly crushed them with only four partners, and then served them lunch with hospitality...... These absolutely abnormal actions can actually be regarded as a kind of release from Merlin, and as for what was released, I'm afraid even he didn't know very well.
After eating Merlin's elaborate lunch, the four trainers who had just been ravaged seemed to have put down the last bit of mustard with Merlin and began to talk to him, and it was normal for several young people to get together to brag and talk nonsense, and several of them were trainers, so the topic was naturally inseparable from Pokémon, alliances, and battles.
For a while, they will complain about how many dirty and bad things the Rocket Legion has done, and how many atrocities the mad Ideal Country has committed, and then talk about how many achievements the Guandu Alliance has made in the recent crackdown on the above two criminal organizations, or comment on who has made any new achievements among the young trainers who have been in the limelight recently, and occasionally comment on the many owners of the Alliance, and by the way, why the Alliance's frequent personnel transfers have been recently......
And when the conversation came to Pokémon, one of the science and engineering boys with black square-rimmed glasses the thickness of Merlin's glasses and a long greasy hair talked about a topic that Merlin was very interested in.
This self-made self-made weird machine that can be transformed, with an ugly and strange remote control pinned to his waist, a whole set of weird tools hanging from his waist, and a whole bag of weird bits and pieces on his back, the weird nerd used naughty bullets, Pyrast, and fire dinosaurs to fight Merlin's shock beast in the recent combo battle, but only barely managed to hold on for five or six rounds under the violent maniac's hands before losing all. Merlin vividly remembers the strange watch of this guy who knelt on the ground and howled with a hammer with one hand after he had been defeated by himself.
Pushing his glasses, the science and engineering man said in his rough voice, which was in the midst of a voice change, "...... Speaking of rare Pokémon, we've heard of one before, and a few of us have even gone to look for it. It is said to be a rare trace of Pokémon, and it is said to be a rather rare dragon-type Pokémon......"
"Dragons?" Merlin asked.
"Well, rare, powerful dragon Pokémon!" "In the woodland behind us, which is called the 'Forest of No Road' by the locals, it is said to be a very primitive and very mysterious place, and every year there are people who go in to explore it and go to the forest, and after rumors of a rare dragon Pokémon in the forest, it attracts many people to try their luck and skills." But I heard that the number of missing people has also increased......"
Merlin frowned and stopped talking, and the science and engineering man also stopped the story and continued to tell other strange things, but Merlin didn't pay too much attention to the rest of the words, he had fallen into the fantasy of dragon Pokémon. So he didn't notice the frequent small movements and eye contact of the four people at all.
[Dragon Eh ~ the most powerful, savage, powerful, and proud Dragon E...... Untamable, uncontrollable, undriven, unrestrained power, unrestrained destructive power......]
When the boys say goodbye to Merlin, he is still immersed in the fantasy of the dragon.
"It's decided!" When the quartet was gone, Merlin suddenly shouted, "Go to that so-called 'Pathless Forest' and see how powerful the most powerful dragon Pokémon really are!" See exactly what rare Pokémon are! Merlin, who had made such a decision as soon as his head was hot, immediately began to pack his bags and hurried towards the woodland.
He seems desperate for a go-and-go, reckless adventure to fill himself, and it seems like a good choice to get a glimpse of the rare dragon Pokémon in the primeval woodlands with no roads.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
While Merlin embarked on the "Dragon Hunt Journey" with his bags on his back and without any preparation, the group of four who had already left was also discussing the topic of Merlin.
"You say, can that little man go?" The science and engineering man scratched his chin, which had begun to pop out of his beard, and said half-to himself.
"Almost, right?" The man in shorts dressed in short clothes glanced back at the green plain, "Since he is a trainer, there is no reason not to be tempted by the dragon system, not to mention that he is very strong, this kind of person is more confident in his own strength and more likely to break through." ”
"I said, we didn't tell him, isn't it a little bad that it has become a 'battlefield' now......" The boy dressed as a scout seemed a little hesitant, "A few of us suffered a big loss there, and we almost ...... our lives."
"Humph!" The only girl in the foursome, who was also dressed as a scout, put on a straight face, "It's a rare act of kindness that we kindly shared information with him, although we didn't tell him all the information, but this is also the reason why we inadvertently forgot to say it." So if he runs away and risks his own death...... Hehe, what does that have to do with us? ”
"I still don't think it'...... good," the boy scout muttered to himself in a low voice.
"Humph!" The Girl Scouts seemed to hear the Boy Scouts' whispers and snorted, "What? Guilty or guilty? Have you forgotten how badly he beat us? ”
"That's our inferior ......," the Boy Scout retorted, "and there's no need to coax him into such a dangerous ......"
But before he could finish his sentence, he was brutally interrupted by the Girl Scouts, "So if he falls for us, he will be inferior to others!" As for the danger? Where is this world not dangerous now? ”
"For that rare dragon-type Pokémon, I heard that not only the poachers and poachers we met before felt that woodland, but even the famous 'hunters' began to haunt the 'Roadless Forest'......" The science and engineering man continued to touch his chin, "Even if he is strong, he will be more than lucky if he touches those ruthless Pokémon hunters with blood on their hands, right?" ”
He stopped and turned his head to look behind him, and seemed to be able to distinguish Merlin's little back from the green, "It's a pity that I couldn't see it with my own eyes, and I couldn't subdue the powerful and rare Chromo-Rapid Dragon that roamed in the Roadless Forest......
The Girl Scout also looked back, then gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Little man, you have to pay the price!" Let's see if those bloodthirsty hunters can leave you with a whole corpse......" Shaking the dark brown ponytail, the Girl Scouts took a big stride and left with their squad.
