Chapter 43: Avoiding the Limelight (2-in-1)
Last night.
Saw the sun.
Grim mountain downhill.
From time to time, the hearts of the wild elves flashed through the scene they had seen last night.
It's night, but I see the sun, which feels absurd, but that's the truth.
The dazzling light, the temperature that shines on the body.
That's the sun!
How long has it been.
Shaded by the thick volcanic ash, they haven't seen the real sun again?
It's been a long time......
this day.
The elves under the harsh mountain seem to be full of energy again.
They believe that what they saw yesterday is a sign that they will gradually move towards a better life.
"Hmm......"
Wataru, who was lying on the ground, his eyelids trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Not dead?
Oh, by the way, Natsuhiko appeared in front of him at the end.
Consciousness gradually returned, and the memories of yesterday slowly appeared in his mind.
Xia Yan?
"Natsuhiko!" Wataru suddenly reacted and sat up abruptly.
"You're pretty comfortable."
As he searched for Xia Yan's trace, the familiar voice came from behind him.
Wataru hurriedly turned around.
I saw Xia Yan, whose clothes were slightly tattered, sitting cross-legged on a rock behind him, and between his knees, an elf egg was quietly placed.
The elven egg...... Although it is not a dragon elf, the rich breath of life makes another usually quiet force in Du's body become active.
"This ...... What's the situation? Wataru blinked.
Xia Yan rolled his eyes angrily, "It's nothing, you succeeded in relying on your sleeping appearance to scare off Sidoran." ”
Watar: "......"
Just because I've passed out doesn't mean I'm stupid.
Natsuhiko stood up, dusted off his body, and carefully put the Poké Ball back in his backpack, "Alright, mission accomplished, it's time for us to go." ”
"Wait, what about the dragons?" Wataru found no trace of any of his elves.
Xia Yannunu mouth.
They had already woken up, and they couldn't hold back the frustration in their hearts, so they had already gone outside to exercise so as not to disturb their rest.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Why did you suddenly get an elf egg?"
The two walked out of the cave and left the harsh mountain.
Xia Yan flipped his backpack, felt the temperature on his back, and looked up at the sky under the harsh mountain.
The ash is still everywhere.
But I always feel that today's sun is very comfortable.
The corners of his mouth curled, "Left by a friend." ”
"Friends?"
Du was stunned and looked at Xia Yan who was walking in front.
He always felt that a lot had happened last night, but unfortunately he didn't know anything.
But......
A smile slowly appeared on Wataru's face.
Whatever.
The most important thing is that he and Xia Yan both managed to survive.
Isn't it?
...
...
After Xia Yan and Du left, the matter of Harsh Mountain did not end.
Last night, the appearance of a sun on the top of Harsh Mountain was not only seen by the elves of Harsh Mountain, but also by some trainers in the battle zone, and by the alliance staff who came to block the area near Harsh Mountain at the prompting of Wataru, they naturally also saw it.
This incident even caused a lot of turmoil on the Internet.
A lot of people are speculating about what exactly is going on here.
Is there some legendary elf that has appeared?
And the Sinnoh Alliance has also shown enough attention.
Harsh Yamanouchi.
Because of the appearance of Sidoran, it has led to a messy cave.
An old man with white hair and white beard, dressed exceptionally neatly, and meticulously groomed himself, and an old man with a gold-plated cane on the armrest, slowly appeared here.
The old man first looked around, and frowned.
Rustle Rustle –
A pitch-black telekinetic earth puppet with a ring of red eyes appeared beside him.
The superpower emanated from the body of the telekinetic earth puppet, sweeping all the areas in the cave in a circle.
The old man smashed his mouth, "It seems that the traces have been treated cleanly." ”
But the telekinetic earth puppet still used its superpowers to hold a thumb-sized crystal and appeared in front of the old man.
"Scale powder? The rich fire-based energy, is it the scale powder of the Vulcan Moth? It seems that last night's 'sun' was a fire moth. The old man nodded.
With a blank face, he continued to look at the mess in front of him.
Although because of the damage caused, many traces of things are gone.
But as a Four Heavenly King, and he is also an experienced veteran Four Heavenly King, many things can be deduced even by just looking at them.
The most basic result is such destruction, which is not possessed by the elves of the hall master level.
The old man looked at the churning magma.
"Is it the one who is sleeping inside? So are they lucky to survive? Or ......"
Talking to himself, the old man's originally warm expression gradually revealed a little gloomy.
"Or what?"
Suddenly.
A hoarse and deep voice sounded behind the old man.
The sudden voice made his heart flutter.
Turn your head and see.
in the shadows.
An old woman hunched over her waist and a wooden cane walked out of the shadows slowly.
The gloom on the old man's face instantly dissipated, revealing a warm smile, "King Juzi, I didn't expect you to come too." ”
Come.
It's Natsuhiko's cheap teacher, Kikuko!
Kikuko glanced at him, and the fake smile on her face, Kikuko didn't buy it at all.
It's just a sad saying: "Hoshino Ryuichi, I don't care if you want to investigate your grandson's affairs, but don't stretch your hand to my disciple, don't go around suspicious people, it's very disgraceful." ”
And this old man who arrived here first is none other than the current rock king of the Sinnoh region, Hoshino Ryuichi!
For Hoshino Ryuichi, Kikuko, who has a bad temper and a perverse personality, has no respect at all.
A person who is in the position of the Four Heavenly Kings and refuses to come down makes Juzi very disdainful.
Compared with Liu Bo, who had just come down among the few people she recognized, she suddenly felt that the gap was very big.
So for people like him, there is no good impression at all.
Hoshino Ryuichi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Kikuko Heavenly King said that he was laughing. ”
In the face of the undisguised unkindness of others, Hoshino Ryuichi can still smile, which shows the depth of his city.
Kikuko gave him a deep look.
Passing him on his own, he walked over to the lava.
Although Baird is dead, as the person in charge, she still has to confirm the situation.
When Kikuko walked by, the smile on Hoshino Ryu's face gradually dissipated.
But I saw it.
A black head emerged from Kikuko's shadow and grimaced at him.
It's a Gengh!
Kikuko is holding a Poké Ball in her hand.
Inside, it was the platypus beast handed over by Xia Yan and Watara.
"It seems that the rumor is true...... The platypus also has an evolutionary type, so one of the possibilities mentioned by the people who proposed this theory at the time was ......"
Kikuko's eyes flickered.
"Electric Shock Monster."
...
...
Mission accomplished.
Submit the mission report or something, and leave it to Wataru to do, and Xia Yan returned to Random Town.
Entered the back of the gym, which belonged to his private residence.
Spacious study.
In front of a row of bookshelves that were still empty, Xia Yan leaned back in his chair, his eyes out of focus, and his fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the table.
Tuk, tuk, tuk.....
At his feet, eight Ievees shuttled back and forth, having a good time.
The cries of "Bu Bab Bu Babble" are endless.
Suddenly.
A gray-haired Eevee jumped onto Natsuhiko's lap and rubbed against him affectionately.
"Bu Te ~~"
Xia Yan came back to his senses, smiled and reached out to gently stroke the extremely soft hair of Eevee.
In exchange for a hearty moan.
Seeing this scene, the other Eevee suddenly stopped.
Jump on him one by one.
Not much.
Natsuhiko was covered with Eevee.
In this regard, Xia Yan was also very helpless.
Eevee's clinginess was the most exaggerated of any elf he'd ever seen.
No wonder so many rich ladies like to raise an Eevee.
After a while, Xia Yancong finally "got rid of" these little guys.
But after they made such a fuss, Xia Yan, who had always been a little unable to grasp which loophole in his thoughts, suddenly reacted.
"The platypus evolved through normal means, and the prototype of the 'magma amplifier' should be there, and the 'she' mentioned by Baird should be Tom Nick as expected, so isn't the 'electric amplifier' that should have appeared with the 'magma amplifier' almost the same?"
Thinking of this, Xia Yan slowly sat up straight.
Tuk, tuk, tuk......
Fingers continue to tap on the table.
"The 'Power Amplifier' can make the Electric Shock Beast evolve into an Electric Shock Demon Beast, as an ordinary spirit with the most outstanding physical attack ability among the electric elves, it is a good choice to make up for the shortcomings.......
Most of the electric elves are actually good at special attacks, at least a relatively small number of them are good at physical attacks.
Of course, it's not nothing, like Roentgen Cat is good at physical attack.
But Roentgen's speed is a hard injury.
"The Rockets got the genes, Tom got the 'power amplifier,' and Baird was the one who was used, but it took a lot of time."
Xia Yan didn't know if he was right to guess so.
But he felt that explanation made sense.
It's been a long time.
He just let out a sigh of relief.
"I'm thinking about getting stronger."
"What's the method?"
Suddenly.
Natsuhiko's familiar voice sounded abruptly in his study.
Xia Yan, who heard the voice, slowly stood up, showing a little helplessness on his face.
"Teacher...... It's a ...... with a door."
Looking at Juzi who suddenly appeared on the sofa in front of the desk, Xia Yan said with a smile.
Kikuko raised her eyelids to indicate that she understood.
"Teacher, why are you here?" Xia Yan asked.
"I'm coming to you to confirm something." Kikuko casually picked up a piece of snack on the coffee table.
"Things?"
"Ryuichi Hoshino, the grandson of that old guy, does it have anything to do with you?"
Hearing this, Xia Yan was stunned.
Why did you mention this all of a sudden?
But soon.
Xia Yan reacted.
Is he the one in charge of the Harsh Mountain incident?
But Xia Yan remembered that before he left, he cleaned up the scene very well, leaving no traces.
Juzi raised her eyes and glanced at him, and said leisurely, "What?" Do you think that after cleaning up the traces of the scene, an old king will not be able to see anything? ”
Xia Yan grinned.
"Teacher, look at what you said, how can it, how much can the grandson of the King of Hoshino Ryuichi have to do with me, and the traces are just because some information about the identity of the hunter does not want to be exposed."
This kind of thing is not easy to say, at least it can't be broken by Xia Yan on his own initiative, otherwise even if he has a reason, how much is the truth worth?
"Heh-" Kikuko chuckled, "Not bad." ”
"Huh?"
Juzi slowly stood up and leaned on her crutches, "In the future, whoever asks you this kind of question, just follow this statement." ”
"Uh......" Natsuhiko opened his mouth.
So you think I did it, teacher?
Xia Yan didn't say this, but he felt that eight or nine were not far from ten.
"He already suspects you." Kikuko said.
This Xia Yan is very calm.
Nodding.
Smell a rat?
Didn't he suspect a lot of people a long time ago?
The uninvited on-site viewing of the "Lily of the Valley Youth Competition" is the best proof of this.
It's just that it didn't target anyone.
But this time in the harsh mountain, Xia Yan and Wataru were able to survive, but it attracted his attention.
Not to mention that it is Xia Yan.
At least Xia Yan's proportion in his heart has surpassed that of others, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one target of suspicion.
As for the crossing?
Huh——
"But don't worry, he doesn't dare to do anything to you personally, if he dares to look for you, I will dare to go to him." Kikuko patted Natsuhiko's arm in relief.
This is probably the support from the teachers.
Xia Yan was still a little moved.
"But if he sends someone to test you, it's up to you." Kikuko added.
Xia Yan: "......"
He retracted what he had just been touched.
Although Kikuko looks down on Ryuichi Hoshino, one thing that cannot be denied is that he has been sitting in this position of the Four Heavenly Kings for so long, and the accumulated background is definitely something that most of the Four Heavenly Kings do not have.
In terms of personal connections alone, I'm afraid that no one in the entire Sinnoh region can compare to him.
"Don't worry too much, I knocked him today, I don't dare to do anything to you in a short time, just work hard to improve yourself.
Anyway, you are also the owner of the Sinnoh Gym, and he doesn't have full evidence to trouble you, so you tell the alliance about this matter and see what they do. ”
Xia Yan is the owner of the gym.
If a Four Heavenly King makes a move against a pavilion owner without evidence, what do other pavilion owners in the Sinnoh region think?
So.
On the surface, he didn't have to worry.
At least it's safe in the gym.
Let's talk about it.
Kikuko walked slowly to the door.
"By the way, I'll tell you a piece of news, the Hunter Guild has already investigated your identity, and they haven't found anything. But that's good news, and it means you've taken it seriously. ”
As Kikuko's figure slowly disappeared into the dark corridor.
Natsuhiko sat back in his chair.
Since Kikuko said that Ryuichi Hoshino didn't dare to trouble himself personally, then Natsuhiko really didn't worry too much.
It's impossible for the owner level to test himself.
Quasi-Heavenly King-level .......
Natsuhiko looked at the blank space on his side.
There was a coldness in his eyes.
Let's have one.
Dead one!
"But it just so happens that the competition for seats in the Hunter Guild should be about to start, so take this opportunity to avoid the limelight."
After all, it's just suspicion, and that kind of old fox can't do something blatantly because of a suspicion.
The identity of the Four Heavenly Kings is very important to him, otherwise he would not have to rely on it all the time and refuse to come down.
But it's also a constraint.
He certainly couldn't find evidence anyway.
