Festival of the King of Elves

id "con758783">

It's afternoon and the sun is setting.

The afterglow of dusk spreads over the forests and rivers of Luoxiao Mountain. The wind blows from the not-so-distant seaside and turns into a mountain breeze, bringing with it a hint of coolness.

The black-haired boy sat quietly on a big rock by the river bank. The sunset light fell on him, and his short black hair and long eyelashes were dyed with fine golden light.

Not far away, the surface of the mountain river reflected sparkling golden waves, which were broken by two small figures fighting one after another. The flowing and splashing of the river water were like flowing golden liquid.

On the other side of the river, a tall brown ringed bear sat on the ground, resting his chin on his hand, watching all this quietly.

For a moment, the world was silent and as quiet as a picture.

"It's time to go back."

When the small half of the golden wheel sank into the hidden west mountain peak, Haitong finally made a sound, causing the two little guys to stop chasing and playing.

Compared with the obedient tadpole, which quickly ran back to Haitong, the baby bear ran over, but looked at the human boy with tears in his eyes, stretched out his hand to pull his trouser legs, and did not want his good friend to be taken away.

""

Haitong wiped the baby bear's body with a towel, and then looked at the circle bear who had come to the side quietly and quietly at some time.

"It's time for you to go back, we may come again tomorrow."

Haitong said this. In fact, he knew that there was a high possibility that he would not come again. He could play for an afternoon, but not every day. He was a trainer, and Xiao Mosquito Repellent, as his elf, always had to focus on actual training.

"Kumi Kumi"

The baby bear still wanted to act coquettishly, and even prepared to lose his temper, but unfortunately its father had already picked it up with one hand, making it easy for him.

Circle Bear glanced at the two little guys respectively, and then at the black-haired boy.

The man and the elf looked at each other for a few seconds. The latter lowered his head first, then stretched out his hand, drew a fist on the ground, and then pointed at the two little guys.

Haitong was surprised and asked: "You mean, let them fight tomorrow?"

"Roar"

The circle bear roared softly as an admission, then turned around, regardless of the tearful bear in his hand, and quickly disappeared into the woods on the other side of the river.

"Okay, it's time for us to go home."

Haitong put the mosquito-repellent tadpoles back into the Poké Ball. On the way back, the dusk wind was getting colder and it was easy to catch a cold, so it was best to put the tadpoles back into the ball.

The boy trotted quickly through the mountains, his body as strong as a bell goat. He soon returned to the path at the foot of the mountain, cleared the weeds behind a big tree, and pushed out the hidden folding bicycle.

Although it can be stuffed into a backpack, it is not suitable for going up mountains because it is too heavy.

On the way back to the city, the sun had already set halfway, dragging the figure of the black-haired boy very, very long.

He didn't complete his goal today. Baby Bear and Circle Bear disrupted his plan. He can only go back tomorrow to have a look, but he can't go too deep.

As for elves, there are some wild ones in the city, and there are also some not far from the city, but those elves are probably not very strong.

The reason is very simple. If they were strong or had potential, they would have been captured by local trainers who have lived here for who knows how many years.

Therefore, although Luoxiao Mountain has certain dangers, such as today's Needle Bee Swarm and Circle Bear, Haitong is still willing to go there again tomorrow, because if you want to become stronger, it is impossible to be without risks.

When we returned to the Elf Center, it was already dark.

Haitong found that Xiaolan and Ayan had seen him from a distance at the door.

"Brother Haitong, where have you been?"

"Just come back. Let's go eat quickly. We're almost hungry."

Haitong's different reactions to the two people have the same feeling, that is, warmth in his heart. Xiao Qiexiang met new friends today, but he also has friends in this world. Although Xiaolan and Ayan are too old for him, They are not a bit childish, but for him who has seen the evilness of adults' hearts, the innocence of boys and girls is even warmer.

The Elf Center provides free food and lodging, which is a great benefit, but this benefit is only available to new trainers, that is, within one year after joining as a trainer.

They eat nutritious meals and live in dormitories, which are not very good, but they are all free. For new trainers from poor families, they are irreplaceable and heart-warming support.

Haitong and the two of them went to a nearby family restaurant. He felt that it was very cost-effective for the alliance to invest resources in this area. New trainers who came from common people or poor families who were a little grateful would have a great impact on the alliance because of this move. Good feelings and a sense of belonging.

Dinner was paella, and as usual, the little fat boy served as a wallet for three people.

After all, it was in front of Xiaolan that Haitong could not resist Ayan's generosity even if he wanted to control her. The little fat man's family was in business and he would often give money to his doting only son, so there was no need to care too much.

The elves have special small dining chairs that can be placed on human seats, similar to the baby chair in Pittosporum's memory of another world.

There are ordinary animals in this world. Haitong made a curious and short investigation into this. He used the knowledge of the original world and combined it with some history books he borrowed from the school library after coming to this world to summarize the general idea.

The relationship between ordinary animals and elves goes back to the beginning.

The main material used by Pittosporum is currently the most widely spread and recognized theory of origin, the meteorite theory.

As for mythology, for example, the heaven and earth were nothingness and chaos at first, and the world was created by Arceus, the first thing born. Later, because of the mythological paradox that could not be solved, mythology was eliminated with the development of the times. The paradox is that Arceus, who created the world, was Powerful, why in the Sinnoh legend was he plotted against by mere humans?

There is an argument to say that Arceus created the world, consumed a huge amount of power, and was deceived into taking away the stone slabs by trusted humans, so he fell. However, this argument is always untenable, because the more the times develop, the more scientific it is. Only conclusions and theorems drawn from visible observations can be trusted if the results are confirmed by scientific inferences.

The meteorite said that at the beginning of the unknown how far away, a burst of meteorite rain fell from the sky. After that, it seemed that the changes brought about by the power of the meteorite caused some ordinary animals to undergo genetic mutations, quickly evolved into elves, and mastered... Astonishing power can be further expressed through skills.

This also explains why some elves have extraordinary abilities, but are similar to ordinary animals. They come from the same source, but are genetically mutated by the power of meteorites, and their bodies develop organs and tissues that can store and use powerful high-energy energy.

Then, using some theories from biology, similar species compete with each other. For example, if one of the common snakes in an area evolves into an Arbor monster, then they have stronger power and have a stronger ability to reproduce. , gradually, only snake elves like Arbo Monster were left in that area, while other ordinary snakes either migrated or their tribes lost their ability to reproduce and died out.

Looking at the changes in common animals on land and in the ocean, they both have the same decreasing trend. As the elves grow stronger, ordinary animals become increasingly rare, and common animal species on land disappear faster than those in the ocean. Fast, the reason is that the ocean space is wider, the resources are richer, and there are no marine humans, so there are many more ordinary animals such as fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea.

Ordinary animals have not become extinct because of this. There are elves as huge as whales in the ocean, but there are still small fish smaller than a finger.

On land, with the emergence of Poké Balls, traces of wild elves could still be found from time to time in the wild more than ten years ago. However, in recent years, except for ordinary fish commonly seen in the ocean, it is now difficult to see them on land, whether in cities or suburban areas. Ordinary animals, except for some cats and dogs that have been raised as rare animals by humans, but they are gradually shrinking because they are unable to compete with the elves who have more advantages in survival and reproduction.

Without human intervention, nature can still maintain a balance. If humans join the predatory side, the balanced chain will collapse faster.

On the other hand, the Poké Ball spread more elves to each other in areas that were originally separated by the sea, further enriching and strengthening the biological chain among elves. I am afraid this is why ordinary animals have become less visible to humans in recent years. The main reason why extinction is accelerating within the visible range but still exists in the inaccessible wild.

But in fact, Haitong doesn't think his guess is the only correct answer. Maybe as he travels more places in the world and learns more real ancient stories, there will be more answers.

Xiaolan and Ayan didn't know that the black-haired boy opposite was eating paella and had so many thoughts in his mind, chattering excitedly about the day's battle.

"In the last battle, there was still an elf on the opposite side that had not been released. My arm was already knocked down, but after Bulbasaur came out, he showed off his power. First, he used an astonishingly powerful vine whip to knock out the duck on the opposite side. After being knocked unconscious, he used another move."

The one who boasted so enthusiastically was, of course, Ayan. He spoke with something in his mouth and made gestures with his hands.

Fortunately, this is a family restaurant. There are often a few members of the family, or there are two or more people in a group, so it is always noisy and no one cares about this little fat man's irritability.

Not to mention Haitong, he listened to Ayan's boasted operations backwards and felt that he was quite good at eating, and his appetite was better than usual.

They were just eating and chatting. At the end of the meal, when everyone was eating desserts and drinks, Ayan suddenly winked at the black-haired boy opposite.

"Bingcube, do you know the background of the girl you lost to during the day?"

"What's the background?"

Haitong has a soft-spoken mouth and thoughtful questions to match the other person's desire to perform.

"The Gym Leader's Daughter"

Ayan raised his eyebrows. This surprised look made Haitong feel that he really had the qualifications to be a storyteller or a cross talk actor.

"Do you know Baiyun City?"

"do not know."

"In Baiyun Gym, the girl named Qingyue Suzune, her father is Mr. Qingyue, a dancer nicknamed Qingkong, a very powerful bird trainer, and a master of flying."

"How about spicy?"

After eating and drinking, Pitong lazily chewed the very bouncy milk tea pearl ingredients, just grinding his teeth for entertainment after the meal, and his pronunciation became slightly inaccurate.

Ayan changed his face and showed sympathy. He stood up and bent down, reached out to pat his shoulder, and comforted him: "So don't be too discouraged. It's normal to lose to the owner's daughter. There is no need to hide and cry alone." .”

Xiaolan burst out laughing on the side. Seeing that her sweetheart was being amused, the little fat man was in a good mood. He waved his fat hand and shouted to the waiter to pay the bill.

"Okay, okay, I'm crying, what are the activities next?"

Haitong really didn't care. First of all, Ayan was a friend, secondly, Ayan paid for the meal, and secondly, he was nearly ten years older, so there was no point in arguing.

At this time, Xiaolan looked at the way the black-haired boy was wiping the corner of his mouth with a napkin. She thought it looked good, and said with a smile: "Battle Hall, the guide also recommends it, saying that the quality of our Battle Hall in Huadu is quite good."

"Okay, then let's walk over slowly and take a walk after dinner." Haitong nodded without objection.

Flower City is another name for Getty City, also known as the City of Flowers and the City of Flowers. When the three of them left the house, there were many shops with lights on both sides of the street at night. Almost every tenth house, there must be one. It's a flower shop.

After more than 40 minutes, the little fat man finally arrived at the battle arena after complaining several times.

At this moment, it is already the city center area.

The battle hall is a building similar to a grand theater. It protrudes at the intersection of a three-way street. A semicircular second-floor signboard facade, with glowing LED lights reflecting the five characters "Jinhua Battle Hall".

After the three of them entered, since they were new faces, a waiter naturally greeted them warmly.
