The night is dark, and the moonlight is like water.

Xu Qiansu leaned against a tree, with some elf food in his palm, feeding the wild Pokémon that had gathered.

In the other hand, he held his mobile phone and chatted with Miss Marley.

At some point, Zhulan also interjected, talking about Jiadelia's lack of common sense in some places, and asked Xu Qiansu to take good care of her.

Xu Qiansu was full of promises, and the Xicui area depended on him and Jiadeliya, two acquaintances, and they should take more care of each other.

After talking for a while, she hung up the phone, although Ma Li obviously wanted to talk more, but after all, she was not willing to waste her power in this kind of place.

Xu Qiansu sighed lightly, there is an electric Pokémon in the Alola area that is somewhat similar to the power bank, but unfortunately this is Xicui.

Xu Qiansu lowered his eyes and fed the wild Pokémon, and said softly: "You have to convey my news to the outside world......

It's not that all wild Pokémon are so close to him, such as Pyras, Flying Mantis, etc., but as soon as they saw Xu Qiansu, they attacked him, but they were already whipped away by the vine snake a few whips.

The strength of the vine snake is not strong, but this is the conclusion of the comparison with Miss Mary's Morubeko...... In fact, some ordinary wild Pokémon can't even catch her three moves.

"Huh~" Muk Bird chattered and swallowed the elf food in Xu Qiansu's palm, and when he heard this, he patted Xu Qiansu's forearm with his wings, indicating that it was wrapped around me.

Seeing this, other wild Pokémon also hurriedly raised their chins, indicating that they would definitely not eat your ...... for nothing It's the first time they've seen humans like this who don't take the initiative to attack, but instead give them delicious food.

Xu Qiansu took out a jar of elf food from his backpack and gave it to them, causing a burst of cheers from the group of wild Pokémon.

"Hmm......" Zoroa waited not far from the gate of Ultramarine Town for nearly two days and two nights, but he still couldn't see Xu Qiansu for a long time, and he couldn't help but wonder if he was looking for the wrong place......

In fact, Xu Qiansu never left from the direction of the gate...... Therefore, Zoroya naturally did not see him. 、

It lay on the ground, its big fluffy tail lying on the ground, and its stomach growled with hunger......

"Hmm......" Zoroa's big golden eyes stared blankly at the closed door, and he imagined again and again in his heart that Xu Qiansu could come out of it, and at that time, it must cheer up, with vigorous and elegant steps, and a handsome posture, step by step in front of him, and then hand him the tree fruit hidden in the fur......

This will definitely leave a very deep impression on it, so that he will never forget his cute fox for the rest of his life.

Although Zoroa didn't know why he wanted the human to remember him for the rest of his life......

I don't know how long later, the moonlight fell, and a touch of gold suddenly appeared in Zoroah's numb and godless eyes.

"Huh?" Zoroa was slightly stunned, looked up along the golden head, and immediately met a pair of blue eyes.

"It's ...... Zoroa? However, there is something wrong with the form, it should be an ancient species. The visitor tapped his chin lightly and whispered to himself.

Zoroa tilted his head, apparently not reacting.

It glanced up and down at the visitor, and then noticed that she was actually floating in the air......

"Huh!? (Mom, there's a ghost!?) Zoroa's fur exploded directly, and he jumped back in a panic, jumping straight up from the grass, and then seeing Gardelia casually stretching out her hand, she pinched the back of Zoroa's neck and lifted it up.

But in fact, Gardelia uses mental power.

"Hmm......" Zoroa looked at Gardelia with his tail between his hind legs, not knowing what the human ghost wanted to do to it.

Gardelia's turquoise eyes were calm, and she glanced at Zoroa, then raised her eyebrows slightly, and muttered, "It's really a ...... who came to find Xu Qiansu."

"Hey! That Pokémon again!? ”

"Damn! It's eyeing the town! ”

Zoroa jumped out of the bushes, naturally unable to hide from the two guards standing on the watchtower, but from their perspective, they could not see Gardelia, only Zoroa floating in the air, as if he had a plan.

Bend the bow and set the arrow.

Whew————

The arrow pierced the air and slammed into Zoroa's position.

"Huh!?" Zoroa was startled and wanted to escape, but he was firmly grasped by Gadelia, and there was no way to avoid it, so he had to cover his little head tremblingly.

But seeing that Gadelia raised her hand slightly, the two arrows almost grazed her side with a 'boom', and penetrated deep into the soil, but they did not hurt Gardelia and Zoroa in the slightest.

"Huh?" The two guards were slightly stunned, they had practiced martial arts since childhood, and even if the bow technique was not considered to be a hundred steps, it was at least the level of eight out of ten shots.

They did not believe in evil, and again bent their bows and set up arrows.

Whew————

The arrow sank into the ground, and the sword feather couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Same result......

Gardelia frowned slightly, and raised her hand slightly.

'Click', the bows and arrows of the two guards broke straight from the center.

This time it was a warning, if those two dared to make some superfluous movements, then the next time it would be their necks that would be broken.

But the two guards were obviously also bloody men, and their bows and arrows suddenly broke, and they only thought it was Pokémon's witchcraft, not only were they not afraid, but they threw it away and raised their swords and went down...... He actually wanted to fight with Zoroa......

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Gardelia's eyes, and she was about to raise her hand, but she suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of the forest.

The forest is secluded, the vision is extremely poor, and the evening breeze caresses by, as if some indescribable creature looks silently.

She raised her willow eyebrows slightly, and then raised her hand and tossed it lightly, directly throwing Zoroa several meters in the direction of Ultramarine Town.

Zoroa is also a Pokémon no matter how he says it, and he subconsciously adjusts his body in the air and falls steadily to the ground...... But when I looked up, I was weak on all fours, and I almost cried.

But the two guards had already strode in, their cold blades shining in the moonlight.

Gardelia didn't look at the two guards who came with swords, but instead glanced at the dark forest, her moving face with a touch of casualness and provocation.

Phew————

The evening breeze blew, bringing an inexplicable chill.

The guard looked at Zoroa, who was curled up and trembling, without a trace of soft-heartedness, holding the sword in one hand, and swung it violently, the sharp blade cutting through the air, and it actually set off a subtle 'snort' sound.

Seeing that the blade was approaching, there was no movement in the forest, which made Gadelia raise her eyes slightly and snap her fingers.

Clang!

The blade of the sword seemed to be slashed at some extremely hard barrier, sparks splashed everywhere, and the anti-shock force made the guard's wrist even more numb, and the tiger's mouth hurt.

Seeing this, the other guard did not hesitate, and then swung his sword.

Sassy ————

At this moment, a leaf shot out of the forest, and the guard felt only a faint flash of green light, and suddenly felt a tingling pain in his wrist, and he couldn't help but loosen, and his blade fell.

Gadelia was slightly stunned, then turned lightly with her hands behind her back and looked at the two guards and Zoroa.

"What!?" The other guard, who was in pain, didn't care about the pain, flipped his wrist, and stabbed his sword diagonally downward, heading straight at Zoroa.

Obviously, the abnormality three times and twice made them more convinced that everything was the witchcraft of the fox Pokémon.

But in the next moment, a dark shadow appeared in front of his eyes.

Clang!

But I saw that the black shadow suddenly reached out and grabbed the long sword that was hanging in the air, turned his wrist slightly, and slammed it upward, the blade was handed over, and the spark flashed, and the guard only felt a huge force attacking, and the blade was directly opened.

"Damn it!" The guard whose blade was taken away was worthy of many years of martial arts, and his reaction was not unpleasant, and he slammed it on his lower back, and a cold glow appeared, and there was actually a short sword.

But I saw that the black shadow's figure pressed down slightly, stepped on both feet, and actually stepped forward, and the other arm that was not holding the sword slammed forward with its elbow, just right against the hilt of the short sword, completely seeing through the guard's movements.

"Tsk!" The short sword was blocked like this, and it was completely useless, let alone what move it used, but the guard was not afraid at all, raised his knees forward, and slammed into the heart of the comer.

At the same time, the other guard also came back to his senses, and the long sword was set up, but he took advantage of the situation, and kicked it from the bottom to the top like an upside-down golden hook, and there was a muffled sound in the robe.

This is also the advantage of having a large number of people, and there is always an advantage of 'two fists are hard to beat four hands'.

But the person who came was obviously very skilled, but he saw his footsteps slammed down, his body retreated, and at the same time, his upper body leaned back slightly, which was just right to avoid the kicking skills of the two, so fast that the two guards couldn't help but be a little stunned in their eyes.

But the comer didn't give them time to continue reacting, only to see that when his body was backwards, two rattan whips suddenly poked out of his sleeves, like poisonous snakes spitting cores around the legs of the two guards, but with a hook, they lost their center of gravity, and then there were two muffled sounds, and the two guards were kicked out like a kite with a broken string, and two grooves slipped out of the ground, and they couldn't stand up for a while.

When they struggled to get up, they turned their heads to look, only to see that the sword blade that had been snatched away had been slanted into the ground, and under the reflection of the moonlight like water, a slender black shadow was outlined.

And the fox-like Pokémon and the attacker have long since disappeared without a trace.

"Human ...... Actually protect Pokémon!? One of the guards coughed a few times, squeezing a word out of his throat.

No one remembers how many years the grudge between humans and Pokémon has lasted...... But there are many Pokémon who have died at the hands of humans, and in the same way, there are also many humans who have been harmed by Pokémon, so realistic that they hate the behavior of humans to protect Pokémon.

With her hands behind her back, Gardelia took one last glimpse of the deep forest and drifted away.

The night was calm and the moon hung high.

Smack————

The door was closed, and Xu Qiansu threw the face towel on the tatami mat, and then pulled it into the placket of his clothes, pinching the back of Zoroa's neck to eye level with him.

"Hmm......" Zoroa closed his eyes tightly and clamped his tail tightly, and he didn't slow down until now.

"Pocha." The vine snake crawled out of Xu Qiansu's clothes and glanced at Zoroa, thinking to himself how could there be such a weak and fearful Pokémon, even a mere human can't beat it.

"Coming back so early?" Gadelia suddenly appeared behind Xu Qiansu like a ghost, floating in the air, as if putting her little head on Xu Qiansu's shoulder, and asked softly.

The voice was gentle and lazy, exhaling like an orchid, and it was a little itchy on Xu Qiansu's side face.

"Aimless search is not effective...... And I and the Fuji Snake also need to rest," he took a few steps forward, sat on the tatami mat, put Zoroa down, looked up at Gardelia, and asked curiously, "What are you doing out there?" ”

Whether Gardelia is materialized or ghosted, it does not prevent Xu Qiansu from seeing her and touching her.

"Curious, go outside and take a look, just in time to meet this little fox." Gadelia snorted lightly, and floated in front of Xu Qiansu again, looking at her expression, it was clear that she would go wherever I wanted.

Xu Qiansu naturally wouldn't want to interfere with Gadelia's freedom, and Gadelia is not a stupid woman, she knows what to do and what not to do...... Rather, she should belong to the category of 'bad woman', and she should worry about the safety of other people's lives when she goes out.

He retracted his gaze and looked at Zoroya lying on the tatami mat with his two little paws tightly covering his little head, and then reached out and hugged Zoroa's waist and lifted it flat.

Jiadelia frowned slightly, when Ma Li acted alone, Xu Qian was so angry that she quarreled with her...... Now that he is acting on his own, Xu Qiansu only has this level of reaction.

She looked away from Xu Qiansu's body, and floated back to the back room, sitting sideways on the bed, tilting her head and glancing at Xu Qiansu's back.

Bang ————

Several tree fruits, which were already mostly rotten, fell from Zoroa's fur.

In such a situation, Zoroa had to quietly let go of a small paw and secretly glanced at Xu Qiansu.

Hey?

Zoroa was stunned, it stared directly at Xu Qiansu, and its tightly clamped tail couldn't help but relax and hang down under it.

The vine vine snake showed a look of disdain, and started again, his trainer is good at everything, but he likes Pokémon too much, so that the vine snake doesn't like it very much...... If Chirulian was here, he would have to throw the ghost fox out.

"What are you doing outside Ultramarine?" Xu Qiansu asked suspiciously.

Zoroa looked at Xu Qiansu, then lowered his eyes to look at the tree fruit that fell on the tatami mat, and then his fluffy tail cocked and covered his little face.

"Hmm......"

What a fox face...... It's nothing like what it imagined.

"It's coming to bring you tree fruit." Jiadeliya's soft voice sounded from behind her, Xu Qiansu was slightly stunned, looked at the tree fruit that had fallen on the tatami mat, which had been mostly rotted, pursed her lips and pondered for a moment, and then touched her lower back...... Nothing was touched.

His Poké Ball had been lost a long time ago, and the only Poke Ball on his body was the one of the vine snake...... Gadelia apparently didn't either.

Xu Qiansu sighed helplessly, and if he wanted to accept it, he could only use the original Poke Ball in the Xicui Region, but the quality of that Poké Ball was obviously not as good as the modern Poke Ball, and Xu Qiansu could only buy it when the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce came to Ultramarine Town to do business...... What's going on......

He put Zoroa down, patted its little head gently, and said, "During this time, you will live with me first, how about it?" ”

"Huh?" Zoroya gently lowered his tail a little, and secretly aimed at Xu Qiansu, but saw Xu Qiansu pick up the tree fruit, crunch and bite it, and said, "The taste is okay." ”

"Hmm~" Zoroa completely lowered his tail and laughed happily.

The rattan snake rolled its eyes very humanely, hooked the flask with a rattan whip, and drank a small wine.

Gadelia was not interested in Xu Qiansu at all in accepting Pokémon, she sat on the bed sideways, looking at Xu Qiansu's back, and only hoped that Xu Qiansu could finish the Ultramarine Coast as soon as possible and leave early......

Carvin ...... It's painful
