Chapter Twenty-Three: The Vine Snake (Subscription Requested!) Ask for a commuter pass! )
It was late one night.
It's raining outside.
Fuji Snake and the rest of the Pokémon trained with Maria's mother's Pokémon for a day as usual, returned to the room, ate cake, took a bath, and went to bed.
The room was silent and dimly lit.
Because the lily root doll is not sleepy at all, Xu Qiansu is playing with her in the living room and is not in the room.
At that moment, a blue-white point of light suddenly lit up on the body of the vine snake, which made her wake up on the spot and sit up directly.
She looked at her little blue and white glowing hand, and was stunned for a second before realizing ...... I'm going to evolve.
Evolution, for Pokémon, is really a sparse and ordinary thing.
The vine snake alone has seen the evolution of Pokémon many times, and she often comments a few words in her heart from time to time, such as after the six-tailed evolution to the nine-tails, the hair is more beautiful, and after the dream demon evolves into a dream demon, the temperament is more gloomy, and it looks like a funny hat.
And for the vast majority of Pokémon, they will not refuse to evolve...... After all, you can make yourself stronger.
It's like a sachet...... She kind of wished that she could evolve once and grow to the size of a steel armored crow in one breath, so that Xu Qiansu could get into her small pocket, so that she could shelter Xu Qiansu from the wind and rain.
But for the rattan snake...... She doesn't want to evolve.
Not in any way.
She has an obsession with staying in this form.
It wasn't the first time that the vine snake had sensed this evolutionary impulse, but each time she was able to suppress it quietly.
But no matter how hard she tried at this moment, the blue-white halo was difficult to hide, just like a light bulb about to short circuit.
Her strength has reached the limit of this body.
No, I can't suppress it on my own.
The vine snake was scared.
She began to feel flustered.
What to do?
The rattan snake hurriedly looked around.
The rest of the Pokémon were still resting and did not notice anything unusual about the vine snake.
Xu Qiansu is not there......
The vine snake pressed its head tightly with a small hand, and felt that its consciousness began to blur...... When the Koga ninja frog was still a croaking bubble frog, it also experienced this.
At that time, the croaking bubble frog would only attack like a berserker.
Now Fuji Snake feels as if he is about to do the same...... It's like having a bad cold, and it's like being poisoned, all kinds of messy hallucinations begin to appear in front of your eyes, and your head hurts, and you want to blindly attack everything you see and vent your pain......
However, as long as the vine snake relaxes and allows the evolutionary impulse in its body to spread naturally throughout its body, these pains will be resolved in an instant.
But as long as the vine snake still chooses to resist, the pain will intensify.
The vine snake chose to continue to resist, but if this continued, she would have to tear down the house sooner or later......
If you go on a rampage, the rest of the Pokémon will definitely knock you out...... You can't be knocked out, and once you're knocked out, you're no longer powerless to resist this evolutionary impulse.
Just like the original croaking bubble frog, it was directly forced to evolve.
The vine snake looked at the window with what little sanity he had left...... Because of the rain, the windows were not opened, and the raindrops outside the house slapped on the windows one after another, making a crisp sound.
But this light sound was like a burst of drums, beating on the tip of the heart of the rattan snake...... It only made her more miserable.
Let's get out of here...... Vine Snake is a proud and independent character like Marley in her bones, and she wants to survive the impulse to evolve on her own.
She was confident that she could do it, and she didn't want anyone to help her unless she had to...... It's just that it might be painful all night.
A rattan whip poked out of the snake's shoulder, reaching out to the window like a snake, pulling it apart.
Click.
Raindrops from outside the window poured into the room.
The steel armored crow standing in the corner of the room frowned, and then slowly opened his red eyes, and was slightly stunned when he saw the rattan snake.
The vine snake didn't notice that the steel crow had woken up, and she stepped on the window edge with her light rise and fall, her back to the steel crow.
The raindrops outside the house slapped down on her body, and the icy cold touch made her chaotic spirit a little clearer.
She looked up at the window, and the bright neon lights of the spikes hurt her eyes.
She was still new to the town, where to go, where to be safe, she had no idea at all.
But this is normal, when she didn't meet Zhulan and Xu Qiansu, she was already used to this unfamiliar environment.
Regardless of Nine-Tails and Zoroa, she is the oldest of Xu Qiansu's Pokémon...... It's three years old.
In the past three years, what situation has she not encountered? What environment has not been lived? The wild can be much more dangerous than the town, but the rattan snake can always find a place for its survival.
After all, she is not a pouch beast, a Pokémon like a lily root doll that needs to be taken care of by others, nor is it a Pokémon like Shanaiduo or Nine-Tails that can't do without someone anyway.
The vine snake's big burgundy eyes stared at the dense high-rise buildings that stood like trees outside without blinking, but they did not leave immediately.
The steel armor crow frowned tightly, looked sideways at the back of the vine vine snake, and after a little thought, he understood the vine snake thoughts.
Therefore, it did not make a sound, and just looked at the vine snake silently...... To a certain extent, the steel crow still understands the rattan snake, so it doesn't want to interfere too much...... What the rattan rattan snake wants to do, is the freedom of the rattan rattan snake.
However, the steel crow did not intend to do nothing, its wide wings spread slightly, intending to follow behind the vine snake...... After all, you can't let the rattan snake have an accident.
Then it reacted, with its size, it wanted to leave the room without smashing the walls?
It tilted its head, and then looked at the Pokémon who were sleeping prostrately, unaware of the abnormality, wondering who to wake up.
But before the steel crow could do anything, he saw a rattan whip shoot straight through the window, directly pressed the doorknob, and pressed down.
Click.
The door was wide open.
The rattan snake with its back to the steel crow turned around inexplicably, didn't look at the steel crow, hooked the eaves with the rattan whip, and with the help of force, it turned into an afterimage and left the room with a 'boom'.
The steel crow was stunned, and then tilted his head again...... It began to understand the idea of the vine snake anymore.
It pondered for a moment, then shook its head and closed its eyes again...... The thoughts of these female Pokémon are as changeable as the autumn sky and like the mood of Ladias...... It's too complicated, it can't figure it out.
Xu Qiansu was sitting cross-legged on the carpet in the living room, playing with the lily root doll with the ball, only to hear the soft sound of the door opening upstairs, he thought to himself who came down? Hopefully not Mama Maria.
He heard the sound, but he didn't see anything, and it was as if something had hit him in the chest, and the slightly violent impact made him cough twice.
He looked down and realized that it was a vine snake with blue light that was pouring into his arms, two small hands clutching the hem of his clothes, looking pained, eyes closed, obviously suppressing the urge to evolve with all his might.
Xu Qiansu frowned, then reacted, stood up suddenly, and hugged her by the abdomen of the rattan snake with both hands.
The lily root doll stepped on her short legs, ran to the ball, picked it up, and then raised her little face high, staring at Xu Qiansu, the leaves above her head were like her mood, shaking to the left and to the right.
"Unchanged Stone ......" Xu Qiansu looked around a few times with a little eagerness...... The Immutable Stone is a prop that can forcibly prevent the evolution of Pokémon, but how could Miss Marley have that kind of thing in her home, and she has no habit of collecting.
But still have to ask.
He hurriedly went upstairs and pushed open the door of Marley's room.
Late at night, Miss Marley should still be resting...... But at this time, Xu Qiansu couldn't afford to spend any time, so he could only do things in a hurry.
"The sun, the sun?" The lily root doll ran with a ball more than three times larger than her and followed Xu Qiansu's steps, and when she came to the stairs, she jumped hard, and with a snap, she was stopped by the stairs as high as her, and fell to the ground.
The ball rolled a few times before finally landing in front of the couch.
The lily doll sat on the ground, sniffled, then stood up, pulled the stairs with both hands, and began to climb up again.
After Xu Qiansu pushed the door and entered Miss Ma Li's room, he crossed his arms and stood in the corner, sleeping against the wall, and the Koga Ninja Frog immediately opened his eyes with a wary look, but when he saw that it was Xu Qiansu, he relaxed again, and when he noticed the rattan snake in Xu Qiansu's arms, his nerves tensed again...... Isn't this exactly the same as when it was a child?
So Koga Ninja Frog also began to panic, but he didn't know what he could do.
Ma Li was lying on the bed, and when she heard the sound, she immediately grabbed the futon with one hand to cover her upper body, sat up directly, and looked at her head with a little surprise.
Seeing that it was Xu Qiansu, she relaxed a little, and the next moment Xu Qiansu came to the bed quickly and asked, "Miss Ma Li, is there any unchanging stone?" ”
"Immutable Stone?" Ma Li was about to teach Xu Qiansu a cold lecture, but when she heard this, her eyebrows frowned, and she noticed a glance at the painful vine snake.
The vine snake still had her eyes closed, her hands clutching Xu Qiansu's clothes, in fact, she had no strength left to discern the outside environment...... Just suppressing the urge not to make a move to Xu Qiansu has exhausted her will.
She understood the situation and rolled over and got out of bed.
She was wearing a simple black nightdress, with fair and smooth shoulders, delicate collarbones and snow-white thighs leaking out, but at this moment, Xu Qiansu and Ma Li didn't care about such a trivial matter.
Directly opened his wardrobe, and a dazzling array of clothes met Xu Qiansu's eyes.
"When I was a child, I was afraid that Morubey would not be able to hold her after she evolved, so I asked my mother for an immutable stone, and later learned that Molube could not evolve, so I put it aside...... I remember putting it here......" Marley pulled over the clean clothes that were worth a lot of money at first glance, and threw them out of the closet, it was hard to imagine that such a vulgar gesture could have come from Marley's hand.
"Don't look at it...... Come and find it with me. Ma Li turned her back to Xu Qiansu, and her voice was slightly anxious.
Xu Qiansu gently scratched the chin of the vine snake with his fingertips to show comfort, and then put her on the bed before she and Miss Ma Li flipped up the wardrobe together.
Flipping over the tunics, linings, skirts hanging on top, and finally Marley turned up the underwear that was placed at the bottom.
When a large stack of colorful clothes piled up on the floor of the room, Xu Qiansu finally found a pendant through the gap in the corner of the wardrobe.
Threaded with a red string, a pebble-like pebble hangs underneath...... Immutable Stone!
Xu Qiansu hurriedly looked back, and the Koga Ninja Frog picked up the rattan snake from the bed and handed it to Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu directly pressed the immutable stone on the body of the vine snake, and the immutable stone in his palm trembled slightly, and then the white-blue halo around the vine snake directly dissipated.
The vine snake only opened its eyes at this time, and its eyebrows were full of exhaustion, and it couldn't help but gasp.
Xu Qiansu breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he hook up the red rope with his other hand and hang it on the neck of the rattan snake.
The vine snake gasped for breath as he raised his eyes to look at Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu sat cross-legged on the ground directly, holding the abdomen of the rattan snake with both hands, picked her up, looked at her, and asked, "How do you feel now?" ”
The vine snake no longer felt the evolutionary impulse in his body...... It was as if the feeling was directly sucked in by the immutable stone.
She shook her head slightly, and then stared at Xu Qiansu's face.
The windows in the room were covered by black curtains, but the rain outside could be felt by the soft 'crackling' sound coming from them.
"Why don't you want to evolve?" Xu Qiansu asked.
"I have something I have to do." The vine snake replied.
"What?"
"When I was born, I was bullied by an armored bird...... Relying on it to fly, snatching my food again and again, and grabbing me into the air to play tricks...... I wanted to evolve a pair of wings, but I couldn't evolve anyway...... At that time, I decided in my heart that I would not rely on evolution anymore, even with my current body, I would be able to become very powerful, and I would be able to kill that armor bird. Fuji Snake spoke in a calm tone, as if he was talking about other Pokémon.
"And then?" Xu Qiansu asked.
"Later?" The vine snake raised its little face, looked at Xu Qiansu, and then sneered, "I stole its eggs and threw them into the house of the circle bear, and sat and watched them fight each other, and then I came forward to beat the injured armored bird half to death, trampled it under its feet, and mocked it fiercely." ”
"Remarkable." Xu Qiansu exclaimed.
"Don't you think I'm mean?" The vine snake was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some surprise.
"It's very despicable, but as long as it's what you do, whether it's despicable or bright, I like it."
"Why?"
"I like you."
Xu Qiansu placed the palm of his hand on the rattan snake and the soft abdomen, as if to sense her physical condition.
Hearing this, the vine snake looked away, and glanced around, only to know that this was Ma Li's room.
She retracted her gaze, looked at Xu Qiansu, and then asked, "Can you hug me?" ”
"Of course." Xu Qiansu then held the rattan snake in his arms.
The body of the vine snake is very petite, and it is not much bigger than the small sac beast, but the heartbeat is very powerful, and Xu Qiansu can hear it clearly.
The vine snake put his face against Xu Qiansu's heart and said, "I originally planned to leave here and come back to you after suppressing the impulse to evolve." ”
"Then why did you change your mind?" Xu Qiansu asked.
"Spike Town is too dark and messy, I'm not familiar with it, and my head was chaotic at that time, like the feathers on Cresalia's body, huddled together, so once I leave, I guess I won't be able to find my way back......" Fuji Snake paused, and then continued to speak in a calm voice, and said in a light tone:
"The same goes for you...... You're also not familiar with Spike Town...... What should I do if you can't find me either? ”
Xu Qiansu bowed his head slightly, and then smiled: "I see, thanks to you for changing your mind, otherwise we would have to separate." ”
"Well, after all, you can't do without me." Fuji Snake said.
Xu Qiansu leaned down and kissed her on the forehead, and then smiled: "It's very accurate to see people~"
The vine snake grabbed Xu Qiansu's clothes with his small hands and raised his face, "I thought you would teach me a lesson and let me not have that kind of thought in the future." ”
"It's a bit of an idea." Xu Qiansu nodded.
The vine snake was stunned, and then stared straight at Xu Qiansu with those big burgundy eyes, "That's not good, if you dare to say cruel things to me, I will sit on the ground and cry, crying very loudly, more annoying than a lily root doll, no matter how you coax me, I can't stop until I cry until I fall asleep tired." ”
"That's still forget it, if you don't teach me a lesson, a lily root doll will make me very tired." Xu Qiansu smiled.
The vine snake glanced at him, looked away silently, touched the immutable stone on his neck with his small hand, pursed his mouth, and then glanced at Xu Qiansu again, and asked, "Do you want me to evolve?" ”
"It's pretty cute after evolving......"
"Who asked you if you were cute? I'm asking about strength! The vine snake suddenly became angry and refuted.
"My opinion doesn't matter, your thoughts matter." Xu Qiansu shook his head, then held the rattan snake in both hands and lifted her up.
In the dim light, the eyes of the vine snake were still so beautiful.
Burgundy, but clear and bright like a jewel.
Xu Qiansu likes the eye color of the rattan snake.
The vine snake was stared at by Xu Qiansu so directly, blinked his eyes, and then looked away, "I'm sleepy." ”
Xu Qiansu smiled, and just wanted to continue joking, but heard Ma Li say lightly: "Can you sit up?" You're pressed against my underwear. ”
