Chapter 17: The Deceased
"Ah, it's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful view." Xiao Ling praised that after traveling in Kanto for a long time, the two finally walked to the vicinity of the grassland, although there is no prosperity of a big city, but it is a paradise for elves, and there are frolicking elves everywhere.
"Let's rest here for a while, and I'm going to visit an old friend of my father's in a moment." Xingchen packed up his backpack and said,
"Wow~ Is this Nidona? Grab one. As if she hadn't heard Xingchen's words, Xiao Ling took out the Poke Ball and prepared to throw it at the elf not far away.
"Wait!" Xingchen hurriedly took Xiaoling's hand,
"What's wrong?" Xiao Ling asked angrily, her face turned crimson.
"This is a protected area in the Kanto region, and it is not allowed to capture Pokémon at will." Xingchen said word by word,
"Alright, alright, I got it." Xiaoling put away the Poké Ball, picked up the mini dragon and played,
"Other~Outside"
"Huh?"
"Mini Dragons belong to fantasy Pokémon, so don't release them in a bright light before evolving into a fast dragon." Xingchen reminded, "Otherwise, you will get more and more trouble"
"Huh???" , Xiaoling pointed to Eevee rolling beside Xingchen and asked, "Then why can Eevee be released?" ”
"Well...... Because I have enough power to protect it, and in terms of preciousness, the mini-dragon is much taller than Eevee......" The star picked up Eevee and walked forward.
"It's true, but it still sounds uncomfortable." Xiao Ling muttered a few words before reluctantly taking back the mini dragon.
A roar resounded through the grassland, and Xingchen quickly protected Xiao Ling behind him, ready to face the galloping elves.
"You are?" On the back of the little fire horse, a girl with a strip of cloth asked suspiciously,
"You're supposed to be a Lara trainer, right?" Xingchen relieved himself and said, "My name is Xingchen, and I'm here to find Uncle Moose. ”
"Coming to Patriarch Mu? I see, you come with me. The girl patted the little fire horse on the neck and changed direction.
Xingchen took a Poké Ball from his waist and threw it out.
"Huh~" The wind speed dog shook his loose hair, and the next moment he paid attention to the master beside him, stretched out his tongue and licked it fiercely,
"Hi ~ Hi, okay, okay, we still have something to do now" Xingchen stroked the head of the wind speed dog, pulled up Xiaoling and jumped up,
In Xiaoling's exclamation, the wind speed dog chased the little fire horse in front of him,
"On the back of the wind speed dog, this is what it looks like?" Around Xiaoling, the scenery moves backwards at a speed of several pieces,
"Ready, we're going to accelerate." Xingchen lowered his body, wrapped his hands around Xiao Ling in front of him, and gently hugged the sides of Wind Speed Dog's neck.
"This pose?" Xiao Ling secretly glanced at Xingchen and found that the latter was completely immersed in speed, and couldn't help but sigh.
Hmph, this nerd!
On the small fire horse in front, the girl felt the wind speed dog galloping behind, and couldn't help but feel competitive.
"I'm Fengzi, a member of the Lalamino tribe, let's have a friendly match." The girl gestured and shouted,
"No problem!" The star pointed to the tent ahead, "That's where it ends." ”
"Huh~ so far?" Xiao Ling barely found a few small black spots in the distance and sighed.
"Okay~" Fengzi responded briefly, and buried his head against the body of the little fire horse,
"Use the speed of God~" Xingchen patted the wind speed dog and said.
The wind dog let out a long howl, and its whole body rushed forward as if it had merged into the wind.
"We can't afford to lag behind, accelerate, little fire horse!" Fengzi bowed his waist and said.
Five minutes later, the two figures arrived in front of a tent almost at the same moment,
"It's been a long time since you've been so happy, are you called Xingchen? Your Wind Speed Dog qualifications are very good. After Fengzi dismounted, he exclaimed,
"It has nothing to do with me, it was already so fast when I met it." Xingchen took the arm handed by Xiao Ling and helped him down. Said
"It's like drag racing, are you boys interested in this?" Xiao Ling asked dissatisfiedly, and now she still feels dizzy.
"I guess, at least I am." Xingchen thought for a while and said uncertainly.
At the same time, a hearty voice sounded in the tent,
"Is it Chen boy here, I'll see, I'll see, the original little little bit has grown up."
A sturdy man appeared, dressed in coarse linen, and was laughing and looking at the stars.
"Uncle Moos, it's been a long time~" Xingchen greeted and said politely,
Moose noticed Fengzi and Xiaoling beside Xingchen and nodded.
"Fengzi, help me go and call Momei back, this girl, running around all day long."
"Good" Fengzi smiled slightly, stepped on the back of the little fire horse, and ran to the other side.
Moose turned to pat Xingchen on the shoulder,
"Let's go, go in and talk to the uncle, and the little girl will follow."
"I see, it looks like you're almost in good shape." After a few small talks, Moose looked at the stars and said with satisfaction,
"Well, uncle, I've already said what my father asked me to ask you, and I'm ready to challenge the Quartz Alliance now, so I'm going to leave early tomorrow morning." After hesitating, Xingchen still said the itinerary,
"Quartz Alliance, you, like Chisato, are all battle maniacs, no problem, no problem." Moose smiled and waved his hand, "By the way, Momei is coming back soon, can you meet?" ”
"Aha?" Xingchen looked at Moose suspiciously,
"Oh, you don't remember?" Mu Si was stunned and said, "Then you should remember that poisonous mushroom, right?" ”
"Hmm~", Xingchen heard the word mushroom, suddenly covered his chest, and his face became very difficult to see.
"Xingchen, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Ling held Xingchen and said worriedly.
"No, it's nothing......" Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief and comforted.
"It seems that you still remember it~" Moose said with satisfaction,
"Dad~" A soft voice sounded, and the girl lifted the curtain and walked in.
"Oh~ Momei is back, come on, this is the kid you are clamoring to meet, I don't know if you still recognize him after all these years?" , Uncle Moose laughed loudly,
The girl is the same age as Xiaoling, wearing an emerald green tulle skirt, wearing a small golden felt, her cloud-like hair is scattered down, like a purple waterfall, and her smart eyes match the delicate face, which is as dazzling as the pearl of the grassland.
"Xingchen, is that you?" Although it was only a short moment, Momei had already recognized the young man in front of her, but the interval of many years still made her can't help but ask,
"Hello, I'm Xiaoling, Xingchen's traveling companion~" Xingchen was about to answer, but unexpectedly, Xiaoling had already taken a step forward and blocked Xingchen. It feels like you're protecting your own things.
This action made Xingchen smile bitterly, and Moose couldn't bear it anymore and laughed out loud.
However, Mo Mei didn't care about Xiao Ling's attitude, withdrew her hand without a trace, and said with a smile.
"Hello, because my father and Uncle Chisato are world friends, so I met Xingchen a few times when I was a child, this is a little memory of childhood, please don't be surprised."
"Ah~ It's nothing, because I've just been here for a while, and I haven't seen any other girls except Fengzi, so I'm a little blunt for a while, sorry." Since the other party has given in, Xiaoling is not too aggressive.
"I'm going to go out for a walk, Uncle Moose, you shouldn't object, right?" Xingchen felt the incongruous atmosphere in the room, and walked out with Eevee, who was trembling by the aura of the two ladies.
"Chen boy, wait a minute," Moose saw the rare elf in Xingchen's arms clearly, thought about it, took out a stone from his robe, and threw it over, "I can't let you go back empty-handed here, Uncle came here, this stone was obtained by Uncle from the Xinao region, and I gave it to you as a meeting gift." ”
Xingchen took the stone and touched it carefully, the palm-sized stone was ice blue all over, with a layer of snow attached to the surface, and the cool air made people feel comfortable.
"Buyi~" Ibu stretched out his little hand and touched the stone, and in an instant, his body was white and bright, illuminating the entire tent.
In the light, Eevee's body grew rapidly, and in just a few seconds, an ice-blue elf appeared in front of everyone's eyes, with diamond-shaped long ears hanging down like sideburns on both sides, and the whole body was as smooth as a mirror, looking at everyone with big eyes.
"Kawaii~" Xiao Ling exclaimed and snatched the ice elf, although Mo Mei on the other side was still standing in place, her bright eyes were the same as Xiao Ling.
"What kind of Pokémon is this, isn't Eevee only able to evolve into three Pokémon?" Xiao Ling just caressed the elf in her arms and asked,
"This is the Ice Elf, one of the other evolutionary forms of Eevee other than the original Water Elf, Thunder Elf, and Fire Elf." Xingchen thought for a moment and said.
"Haha~ Chen boy is worthy of being a person from that place, and he knows the elves of various regions very well!" Moose complimented, as if he had thought of something. secretly glanced at her daughter, and saw that her face had not changed, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll take it out to breathe", Xingchen hugged the ice elf who screamed in pain, causing Xiao Ling to be dissatisfied for a while,
On the grass, breathing in the fresh air of nature, the stars moved their bodies before releasing all the hand-held elves and letting them move freely.
The boy sat on the ground like this, teasing the big tongue and the ice elf, and the harmonious scene made the two girls who came out with him look sideways.
"Xingchen, your elves are very well raised~" Fengzi, who came at some point, circled around the elves such as the wonderful frog flower a few times, and commented.
"Compared to you Lalamino people, my cultivation skills for elves are nothing~", Xingchen raised his head and said, "Besides, the elves you have cultivated are much better than me, both in terms of number and plain zhì." ”
"Hehe~ I'm embarrassed to be praised like this~" Fengzi sat down beside Xingchen, looked at the Kentaylo moving in the distance, and said. "However, although it is hard to cultivate elves, the harvest is obvious, and we are very happy to watch them grow slowly."
"Whew" The catty dog next to Fengzi jumped up and down beside the two, having a lot of fun.
"By the way, do you want to go to the market at night?" Fengzi asked,
"What's wrong, Kazeko? So anxious to prepare for the race in three days? Momi took her time and quipped.
"Competition~" Xiao Ling, who came with Momei, was very puzzled by the game that the two were talking about, "What is that?" ”
"It's one of the traditions of the Lalamino people to compare the results of their cultivation in the form of competitions, and if any of them wins the championship, they are considered the best trainers of the Lalanino people." Fengzi happily explained, and the little fire horse on the side neighed.
"Fengzi is a candidate for the championship~" Momei bent down and said,
"It's not that strong" Fengzi waved his hand, got up and patted the dirt, "Okay, let's go." ”
"Oh" Xingchen raised his eyebrows, hugged the ice elf, and followed the three girls in front of him,
The night market is not far from the Latino residence, just on the other side of the tent area on the grassland, perhaps for everyone's convenience.
"Fengzi, come on"
"I'm optimistic about you, I'll definitely win the championship~"
The stalls above the night market came from endless layers of encouragement,
“thankyou~”
Fengzi responded to the group of aunts and uncles,
"Fengzi, you are really popular~" Xiao Ling exclaimed,
Fengzi smiled, unimpressed.
"Momei, do you want to buy anything?" Fengzi turned to look at Momei on the side and asked,
"No, we've all shopped here, and if there's something to deliver, it's for the guests." Mo Mei took out a simple bracelet out of nowhere and handed it to Xiao Ling, "This is a talisman with the protection of our family, I gave it to you."
"Give it to me" Xiaoling hesitantly took the exquisite bracelet handed by Momei and said movingly, "Thank you!" ”
"How's it going, Xingchen, isn't it good?" Xiao Ling shook her white wrist and asked.
"It's very good~" Xingchen replied with a smile, saying no at this time...... Aren't you looking for death......
The night was spent in laughter and laughter, and the next morning, after Xingchen and Xiaoling had breakfast, they came to the tent.
"We're leaving, Uncle Moose." Xingchen reluctantly said, "If I have time in the future, I will come to see it often." ”
"Well, have a nice trip," Moose nodded, but then remembered something, "By the way, you wait for Momei, she's already gone to pack her things, and she may be there in a while." ”
"Huh!?" Xingchen looked at Xiao Ling in confusion, only to see that there was nothing unusual about it, it seemed that he had known about this for a long time.
"I also found out this morning, don't bully her in the future," Xiao Ling pretended to be fierce,
"Uh~ I see." Xingchen shook his head, helplessly accepting this fact.
An hour later, somewhere in the prairie,
"Have a nice trip~" Fengzi and Uncle Moose waved goodbye to the three who were far away,
"Come on for tomorrow's game," Xiaoling shouted,
"Yes, I'm going to play next time~"
"Got it"
"What's next?" Xiao Ling looked at the stars in front of her and asked,
"It should be—the wilderness!" Xingchen looked up the map and said,
"So, you can take in new Pokémon again?" Momei quipped,
"What should I take?" Xiao Ling thought,
"Just check it out~"
