Sinnoh, Gardelia's villa.

After the spring rain, the corners of the eaves are dripping with water from time to time, and the rhythmic sound is conspicuous in the quiet high-end villa area.

The sky is overcast, the air is fresh, and it is a good day for sleeping.

But Gardelia didn't.

She sat on the single sofa in her room, her face propped up, looking out the window.

It's a good location, and from Gardelia's point of view, you can clearly see the sunlight slowly piercing the dark clouds, but Gardelia looked at it for a while before withdrawing her gaze and slowly drifting downstairs.

She was hungry.

She floated into the kitchen, "Hmm...... The curry and mapo tofu were all gone......"

"Nai......" The Snow Witch floated over and looked at Gardelia.

What the Snow Demon Maiden's expression is, Gadelia doesn't need to look at it to know.

She reprimanded, "Don't cry, since it's his Pokémon, you should be strong." ”

But in fact, the Snow Demon Girl is not Xu Qiansu's Pokémon.

Gadelia took out a bag of very high-end elf food from the refrigerator and poured it into the food bowl, "Eat...... Although I couldn't save anything, I had at least killed more than 100 people of the Galaxy team, and by the time Zhulan found their base camp, none of these people could escape. ”

After that, she didn't wait for the Snow Demon Maiden to respond, opened the refrigerator again, took out an apple and wild fruit, washed it, and floated to the sofa in the living room, biting it in small bites.

I didn't do anything, just silently biting the tree fruit.

Zhulan didn't come back, Ma Li lived in the Pokémon Center, and Xu Qiansu naturally wouldn't come back, so in the past two days, only she lived with the Snow Demon Girl in the villa.

The perception range of Gardelia's imprint can roughly span several regions, and the distance is too far away, and it will only be vaguely perceived, and it will never be perceived at all as it is now.

Since he can't perceive it, it means that Xu Qiansu is really not in this world.

After Gardelia finished eating the pulp, she threw it away, and the pit was crushed into powder directly in mid-air.

She clapped her little hands, hugged her knees, and curled up on the couch, just like that, to fall asleep.

The Snow Maiden floated out of the kitchen, glanced at her, and then floated back to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, picked up the fruits and vegetables, and prepared to cook for Gadelia.

She's used to living a Pokémon, so she naturally cooks.

Suddenly, there was a click————

There was a soft sound of the door opening.

Gadelia opened her eyes and looked up, and the only people with the keys were Zhulan, Xu Qiansu and Ma Li.

Comer...... Naturally, it's Marie.

She brushed a few strands of black hair over her shoulders and beckoned to the Snow Demon Maiden who poked out her little face from the kitchen, then looked at Gardelia and said, "I found a clue to him." ”

……

"Cha~" The pickpocket cat stretched out his little paw and touched the purple-black pendant, which was cold and cold.

Marie grabbed the back of her neck and took her into her arms, looked at Gardelia, and asked, "Can you detect anything?" ”

Gardelia didn't speak, she silently looked at the pendant, and then stretched out her small white hand and held it.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in a low voice: "I feel ......"

"What?"

"His sigil."

"Sigils?" Ma Li's eyebrows frowned slightly, why didn't she remember what so-called 'marks' Xu Qiansu had on her body.

"It's the imprint of spiritual power I left on his body."

Ma Li groaned for a moment, and turned her head to look, "What are you doing with that thing?" ”

"For now." With that, Gadelia closed her eyes, and her spiritual power, which was as vast as the sky, was slowly compressed into the purple-black pendant.

Gadelia is a natural superpower, born so powerful, born to read minds, born to destroy everything around her...... This ability made her almost omnipotent, even if just a few years ago she was not able to control it perfectly.

She thought that as long as she was alive for one day, she would be so powerful, forever and ever.

Until now......

Gadelia suddenly let go of the hand holding the pendant as if she had been electrocuted, and a little stunned appeared between her delicate eyebrows.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this situation, Ma Li's heart sank slightly and asked in a low voice.

"Pitch black and ...... The whirlpool, like a black hole, seemed to absorb my spiritual power along with my consciousness and soul......" A few strands of blonde hair stuck to Gardelia's forehead, and her voice was no longer casual and languid, but rarely solemn.

"At least, the pendant has something to do with the gods......

"It's taken from the Xicui Ruins......" Hearing this, Ma Li was slightly stunned, her fingers tapped her chin, and she immediately spit out a name, "Giratina?" ”

"Perhaps, listen to Zhulan, he is a god who lives on the back side of the world...... When Zhulan comes back, she should be allowed to study and study. ”

Ma Li nodded slightly, she stood up, looked at the snow demon girl who was floating beside her, staring at her, couldn't help patting her forehead, and comforted: "He's fine, let me take care of you more." ”

"Nai muh...... "The snow demon girl has to think that she is not some kind of heavenly evil lone star, as long as she follows someone, that person will definitely have an accident."

"Why hasn't Zhulan come back yet?" Speaking of Zhulan, Ma Li remembered that she seemed to talk to herself, but she didn't listen at all at that time.

"After playing the exhibition game in a hurry, I will return to the league headquarters, arrange manpower, and check the main base of the Galaxy team......" Gadelia seemed to be a little apprehensive, and her tone was a little light.

Finding a way to bring Xu Qiansu back to modern times is one thing, and revenge is another.

For the world, this is just a terrorist attack that is not unusual...... And there was only one casualty, which belongs to the news that will be forgotten after a glance and a slight sigh.

But for Marie, Gardelia, and even Zhulan...... It's all different.

Gadelia lowered her eyes to look at her little hand that had just held the pendant, and her delicate little face did not have a trace of expression...... There were two things she didn't say to Marly.

One: If Fang Cai continues to go deeper, her consciousness may be completely absorbed into it, and her body will become an empty shell...... That is, death.

Two: Xu Qiansu's breath is getting closer and closer, maybe ...... She could find him, and even find a way to bring him back.

She glanced at the purple-black pendant, and her little hand couldn't help but tighten.

……

Sei Cui area.

Xu Qiansu suddenly turned his head, looked over the wall, and looked at the top of Tianguan Mountain that could be seen from any direction.

In the original book, the sky above the top of Tianguan Mountain has been shrouded in a time-space vortex, but at this moment, the sky is clear and there is no variegation...... Or maybe the original game story has ended.

"This little brother?" The voice next to his ears brought Xu Qiansu back to his senses, he looked back, smiled embarrassedly, pointed to a blank plaque on the stall, and said, "This piece of wood is not bad." ”

"Okay, what do I need to engrave for you?" The owner said warmly.

Xu Qiansu pondered for a moment and said, "No, I'll take it home and carve it myself." ”

"Okay...... This still weighs a little bit, where is the little brother's house, I sent someone to send you ......"

Before the words fell, he saw Xu Qiansu directly carrying it, turned his head and said, "Thank you, I understand the kindness." ”

After that, he paid the money and walked away.

The boss looked at Xu Qiansu's back, and the beard on his chin trembled, "This, this little brother looks weak and weak, but he has this strength...... Being young is good~"

Halfway through the journey, Xu Qiansu suddenly heard someone greet him.

He turned his head to look, but saw that in a bluestone alley next to him, in front of a store, the dim cloth banner was fluttering in the wind, and the word 'wine' came into view.

A liquor store.

A half-centenarian beckoned to him and asked him if he wanted to buy some wine.

Xu Qiansu doesn't drink alcohol, and he doesn't have much interest in wine, but wine is also a kind of seasoning, and it ...... Now that you're alone in these strange times, let's have a drink.

He walked into the alley, put down the plaque, and asked, "Boss, how do you sell this wine?" ”

The boss glanced at Xu Qiansu up and down, and said with a smile: "Little brother, you can come in and taste it, I think it's delicious, and it's not too late to talk about it." ”

Xu Qiansu nodded slightly, lifted the curtain, but saw that the area of the wine shop was not large, there were three or two tables, but there were more than a dozen wine jars in the corner, just smelling, there was an intoxicating feeling.

Someone was sitting at the table, a drinker of some age.

The boss warmed a bowl of sake for Xu Qiansu and handed it over.

Xu Qiansu thanked him, took a sip, and coughed a few times.

"It's a strong wine," Xu Qiansu said with a smile, "but the taste is very delicate and mellow, sweet and refreshing." ”

Xu Qiansu doesn't know about wine, and he doesn't know if it's a good wine, so he has to describe it like this.

The boss smiled, but he didn't talk about wine, but said: "Old man, I have lived in the town for most of my life, coming and going, and how many people I have met, but it is the first time I have seen such a special little brother." ”

Xu Qiansu took another sip before chuckling lightly and said, "What's not special, I'm just an ordinary person." ”

The boss didn't respond, just slowly made a pot of wine and said, "The first time we met, I had an eye, and I will give you this pot of wine old man." ”

Eye-rim? Xu Qiansu has always believed in this, although what can the owner of this wine shop do to him?

So he took the flask, took a coin from his sleeve and put it on the table, took the flask, and turned away.

"Hey! Little brother, more! The boss knew that the wine could not be delivered, so he weighed the copper coin, and immediately stepped out of the wine shop and shouted.

Xu Qiansu waved the hand holding the wine jug slightly, did not look back, and said, "I'll come here to get the wine later." ”

After that, he walked out of the bluestone alley and disappeared.

The boss shook his head and smiled, went back to the wine shop, and put two plates of appetizers in front of the drinker.

"This young man is also free and easy...... What is the identity? The drinker asked casually, as he drank his wine.

The boss laughed: "I don't know, but he looks so handsome, he must be either rich or expensive." ”

"Rich or expensive? Xicui is not very stable, so there are few powerful people......" The drinker was obviously knowledgeable, and said casually: "When you go to Guandu and the city area, no one can afford the word 'powerful'." ”

The boss has been in a wine shop for most of his life, and he is obviously also a talkative person, and he talks freely with the drinkers after a few sentences.

Xu Qiansu returned to the small house, closed the door, and the rattan snake couldn't wait to get out.

It's not stuffy, but it's boring, and it's ...... She stretched her tail in front of her face and sniffed it gently, and her body was full of Xu Qiansu's breath.

This is extremely unaccustomed to Pokémon.

Xu Qiansu sat directly on the tatami mat, put down the wine jug, stroked the little head of the rattan snake, and asked, "Are you hungry?" ”

"Pocha." The vine snake was not too hungry, she curled up the wine jug that Xu Qiansu had placed on the ground with her tail, opened the lid, and looked curiously.

"Beware of realgar wine in it." Xu Qiansu pulled the wine jug out from her tail, but saw that the big burgundy eyes of the rattan snake were already a little foggy.

She drank.

Xu Qiansu smiled dumbly, he picked up the rattan snake, put it on his lap, moved the plaque over, took the tools, and pondered what name to give his restaurant.

"Bocha~" The vine snake stretched out his little hand at Xu Qiansu...... I still want to drink.

"If it's really realgar wine, let your little snake demon show the prototype......" Xu Qiansu handed the wine jug to the vine snake and watched her take a sip of it.

I don't even cough, maybe Pokémon is much more adaptable.

Xu Qiansu wiped the wine that had been sprinkled on the rattan snake, and then took the wine jug and drank it himself.

"Wave ...... Cha~" The vine snake was obviously drunk, and wrapped its tail tightly around Xu Qiansu's forearm as if in estrus.

Then she took a few more sips, then her tail was loosened, she collapsed on Xu Qiansu's thigh, and fell into a deep sleep.

"If you can't drink it, you still drink it......" Xu Qiansu was also a little drunk, he smiled, and gently patted the vine and snake snake, singing as if singing a lullaby: "Could it be that glance in the previous life, only for that side of this life......"

Xu Qiansu can't sing, but the vine snake doesn't care.

"Wait for a thousand years~Wait for a while~"

Her maple leaf-like tail fanned softly, and she slept comfortably.

Xu Qiansu picked up the tool and slowly carved the words, humming "Past Life and This Life" softly.

He doesn't have the experience and skills to engrave, but he knows the power of the waveguide, and his control of the force is perfect, so although the engraved words are not good-looking, at least they will not look nondescript and crooked.

Halfway through the carving, the vine snake woke up again, she yawned, and leaned on Xu Qiansu's arms, her eyes were a little stunned as she watched Xu Qiansu carving words on the plaque.

Then she dipped her little hand in the wine and took a cute handprint on the plaque.

With the physical ability of the vine vine snake, it was really a handprint.

Xu Qiansu pursed his lips and smiled, mobilized the power of the waveguide, and took a picture next to the small handprint of the vine snake.

"Pocha~" Fujia Snake stretched out his little tongue and licked the wine in his hand, then raised his face and asked, "Are you going out tonight?" ”

Xu Qiansu nodded slightly, "In the future, we will have to go out every night, and we will have to work hard before we find Chirulian and them." ”

"Pocha." The vine snake nodded.

After the moment was over, Xu Qiansu began to cook again, and after eating, the sky was already dark.

It's time to leave.

Xu Qiansu put on his black trousers and white underwear, and put on a black kimono to make sure that it was not eye-catching, so he picked up the rattan snake and left the house.

In the small right corner of the plaque, there are two handprints, one large and one small, and in the center, it reads 'Little Green Snake's Cooking Cottage'......

——

The monthly pass is still 130 places away from the top 500, which should be the limit of this book, but there are still ten days left, so there should still be a chance......

Today's physical condition is better, tomorrow I will have more yards, and strive for ten thousand.
