Elf, I am really a farmer

On the slightly desolate battlefield, Wen Qi's eyes were like an eagle, fixed tightly on his bear apprentice lying on the dusty ground.

His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes quietly revealed a hint of concern and scrutiny.

The originally agile body of the bear disciple now lay weakly on the ground, blood oozing from the wound.

The deep red color looked particularly dazzling under the sunlight. Strands of blood flowed slowly along its fur, gradually gathering into a small pool of blood under its body.

In the air, a faint smell of blood drifted gently with the breeze, making people feel a little nervous and uneasy.

Wen Qi stood there quietly. His expression seemed calm as water, but his heart was like a turbulent sea with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

Relying on the incredible sensory connection with the small world, he clearly realized that the giant mantis did not kill his disciple in the fierce battle just now, and most of the injuries he suffered were just superficial.

After all, Pokémon have physical fitness beyond ordinary people's imagination, and these injuries will recover to their original state in no time.

Wen Qi secretly rejoiced in his heart, and at the same time he was sincerely satisfied with the mantis's perfect grasp of the situation in the battle.

He slowly approached the bear apprentice, taking each step lightly and cautiously, as if he was stepping on fragile thin ice instead of solid ground, and he was afraid that he would disturb the bear by accident.

When he got close to the bear apprentice, Wen Qi slowly squatted down and observed its condition carefully with a focused look.

He soon discovered that although the bear apprentice seemed to be lying there unconscious, his breathing was relatively steady and his body did not show any excessive tremors or spasms.

Wen Qi's heart moved, and he suddenly realized: this bear apprentice was not really unconscious, but he was obviously embarrassed because he lost to the giant mantis in the battle, and he didn't know how to face it for a while.

Wen Qi couldn't help but feel a little amused and secretly sighed that this bear disciple was really a guy who cared a lot about his reputation.

At this moment, Wen Qi's heart was caught in a vortex of entanglement and confusion.

He looked at his apprentice, and thought to himself:

"Now that I have successfully defeated it, logically speaking, it should be considered to have been tamed by me.

But the way it is now, could it be that it is unwilling to submit to me deep down? Could it be that the mission has not been completely completed yet?"

A hint of anxiety flashed in Wen Qi's eyes, and his fingers tapped his knees unconsciously, making a slight "tapping" sound, as if keeping the rhythm for his chaotic thoughts at the moment.

Just when Wen Qi was full of doubts, suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in his mind like the sound of nature:

"Congratulations to the host for completing the task of taming the bear apprentice. You have been rewarded with 10 points, the Water Scroll, the Evil Scroll, and the Master-level Martial Arts Master Bear's Martial Arts Essence."

Upon hearing the news, Wen Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and his nerves, which had been as tense as a bowstring, finally relaxed.

"Finally, I completed the task and got the reward."

He muttered, a pleased smile on his face.

However, Wen Qi was not carried away by the joy of victory.

He knew very well that although his bear apprentice had surrendered on the surface, it was still unknown how much loyalty it had to him deep down in its heart.

After all, it had followed its previous master for many years. How could I expect it to be loyal to me wholeheartedly with just one battle?

Wen Qi's eyes became deep and firm. He raised his head slightly and looked towards the unknown horizon in the distance. He already had a comprehensive plan in his mind.

"I'd better spend some time with it first and cultivate the relationship between us.

During this time, let it recuperate in peace in the small world and heal its hidden injuries.

I will prepare some more life energy blocks for it to help it strengthen its foundation.

Waiting for the right time and letting it evolve is the safest and most in line with my interests.”

Wen Qi secretly made up his mind. He stood up, gently patted the dust off his body, then carefully picked up his bear apprentice who was still pretending to be unconscious, and placed it in a clean place aside.

Then, Wen Qi used Changpan's power to slowly heal the bear apprentice's wounds. The gentle power was like a trickle of water, slowly flowing into the bear apprentice's body and nourishing its painful areas.

After the treatment, Wen Qi attentively cleaned Disciple Xiong's body. After doing all this, he stood quietly by, patiently waiting for Disciple Xiong to wake up.

Perhaps Disciple Xiong himself felt that he could no longer continue pretending to be unconscious; it had dragged on for too long and was becoming embarrassing.

Then, it slowly opened its eyes, with a deliberate slowness, as if it had just woken up from extreme pain and weakness.

Its body was trembling slightly, and it let out a few soft moans from time to time, trying to create the illusion that it was still suffering from pain.

Wen Qi saw all of this, he just stood there quietly and did not expose his disciple Xiong's tricks.

He leaned down slightly, looked at Apprentice Xiong calmly and firmly, and said in a gentle but unquestionable tone:

“Apprentice Bear, my Pokémon has defeated you.

According to the agreement, from today on, you are my Pokémon, and I hope you can keep your promise. "

His voice was not loud, but it echoed clearly in the silent space. Every word seemed to carry an invisible force, drilling straight into Apprentice Bear's ears.

When the bear disciple heard Wen Qi's words, although he still felt a little unwilling, he also knew that this was something he had promised before and he could not refute it.

After a moment of silence, it couldn't help but ask:

"Then when can I evolve?"

There was a hint of eagerness and desire in the voice, and its eyes were fixed on Wen Qi, full of anticipation.

Wen Qi had expected that his disciple Xiong would ask this question.

In order to convince it completely that he was not just talking nonsense, he thought about it, and two hanging scrolls emitting a mysterious aura instantly appeared in his hands.

There seems to be a faint light flowing above the hanging scroll, as if it contains endless power.

Apprentice Bear's attention was instantly attracted by the two hanging scrolls. His eyes suddenly widened, flashing with a fiery light that was full of joy and excitement.

Its body involuntarily leaned forward, with its two front paws slightly raised, as if it wanted to snatch the scroll immediately.

A low roar came from its throat, and in that roar was an expression of uncontrollable excitement and eagerness.

However, in the next second, the two scrolls suddenly disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

The bear apprentice's body froze instantly, and his eyes, which were originally full of expectation, instantly became extremely disappointed.

It stood there blankly, its eyes still fixed on the place where the scroll in Wen Qi's hand disappeared, its eyes full of loss and confusion.

Its mouth opened slightly, as if it wanted to say something, but it could only utter a few weak whimpers.

He looked like a child whose favorite toy had been taken away from him. He looked at Wen Qi eagerly, his eyes full of confusion and resentment, as if silently asking:

What the hell is going on? Why isn't it given to me?
