Science elves, the seven gods are here to join in the fun!

The dragon carried everyone slowly forward. For some reason, there was still a blue light in such a deep cave. Vaporeon and Squirtle were trying to make Manaphy happy.

They had no idea that this was the last bit of time they would have with Manaphy.

[No, isn't Manaphy going back soon? Why is the host's expression so serious?]

[I have a bad feeling...]

[Laugh! Smile for me! !]

[Hurry up and laugh! I’m going to cry.]

[Are we overthinking this? The host might just... have this expression all the time...]

[You don’t even believe what you said above.]

Finally, they reached the deepest part of the cave, where there was a high platform with a sunken area on it. That should be where Manaphy was sleeping.

"Just put Manaphy on it."

He spoke softly to Ying. Ying felt something was wrong when she heard Jiang Li's tone, but there was not much time left, so she walked over quickly and gently placed Manaphy on the platform.

"Goodbye, everyone."

Manaphy stretched out its little hand to say goodbye to everyone, then slowly closed its eyes. Its body emitted a blue light and then turned into the shape of an egg.

[Wow, goodbye Manaphy.]

[We'll see each other again, right Manaphy?]

[Goodbye, Manaphy.]

[Goodbye, Manaphy.]

"Will Manaphy recover? Will we be able to meet again?"

After Manaphy turned into an egg, Ying began to ask Jiang Li, after all, Manaphy had not rested yet.

"No, after Manaphy falls asleep, it will forget all its memories when it was awake. When it wakes up again, it will not remember anyone or anything."

Jiang Li's words stunned Ying. She had not expected this. She thought Manaphy was just sleeping for a while and they might meet again after waking up.

But I really didn't expect that this would happen.

[I can tell from your expression that nothing good is going to happen! ! ! ! ]

[No no no no no no! ! ! ! ]

[Wow, my baby Manaphy doesn't remember anything, which means every time I wake up it's a new Manaphy, wow.]

[Suddenly I felt like I was stabbed, pu (vomiting blood)!!!]

"Is there no other way?"

"No, this is Manaphy's characteristic and cannot be changed."

He shook his head slightly and walked back. It was time for them to leave here.

[Wow!!╥﹏╥]

[Woo woo woo (╥_╥)]

[Manaphy, my Manaphy, oo ...

[I’m tired, my Manaphy, wuwuwu???????????.]

On the way back, everyone was very quiet. For Vaporeon and Squirtle, this was the first time that Jiang Li told them that they would never see each other again.

Curled up in Jiang Li's arms, he was very depressed. Squirtle was better off because he had lived away from home since he was young and had no one to accompany him. It was also certain from the beginning that Manaphy would leave, so his ability to accept it was better than Vaporeon's.

"Grass Turtle, come back first. We are going to dive into the sea later."

He took out Stowe's Poké Ball, put Stowe back, and then picked up the Vaporeon in his arms.

"Okay, don't be sad. I'll still need you when I go up later, be good."

He raised his head and put his forehead against Vaporeon's to comfort it. After all, Dragonite was enough to carry the two of them up, and Vaporeon's small body was not enough to pull it up.

miu……

After acting coquettishly in Jiang Li's arms for a long time, she finally cheered up and dived into the sea again and swam out to sea.

They continued to move forward. The sea was calm, as if nothing had happened, but there was a hint of regret in their hearts.

"Jiang Li."

Ying, who was originally leaning against the bulge on the back of Chenglong and looking at the sea, suddenly asked.

"what?"

Jiang Li was editing the illustration on his phone without even raising his head.

"Since you knew that Manaphy would be like this, why did you still keep Manaphy around?"

When Vaporeon heard Ying's question, it looked up at Jiang Li. It was also very curious and didn't know why.

Being stared at by the two of them, Jiang Li put down his phone helplessly, looked at Ying and the others, and spoke softly.

"Everyone will die one day. Will you stop interacting with people just because they will die eventually? Will you not be born into this world just because you will die sooner or later?

I've said it before, Manaphy just doesn't remember it, it's not like we can see each other again after dying, at most we can just be friends again."

Then he lowered his head again to edit the atlas. He had to transfer these ice-attribute elves into the atlas as quickly as possible, otherwise it would be very troublesome to transfer them all at once.

Ying understood this truth. After experiencing so many journeys and so many separations, she understood it. It was just that she had reached a dead end at this moment. She could figure it out herself.

As for Vaporeon, no one knew how long it would take for the child to figure things out. However, children are forgetful, so he went to play in the water with Ying later in the day.

but………

"Can you guys go over and play in the water? I'm fishing! Fishing!"

Jiang Li was devastated after fishing for an hour and a half without catching any fish. He had never come up empty-handed in all his years! He just couldn't believe it. Even if there were a bunch of people playing in the water around him, what would happen?! He still couldn't catch any fish?!

miu?

It was rare for Vaporeon to see Jiang Li like this, and for a moment it felt it was magical. After all, Jiang Li rarely had such big emotional fluctuations.

[It’s rare to see a host being so stubborn, trying to catch fish even though he can’t catch anything.]

[You don’t want to be in the air force, right? Actually, the air force is quite normal.]

[The person above is obviously someone with a story, but really, is the anchor so stubborn when he can’t catch any fish?]

"Oh, it's normal."

Ying swam to Vaporeon and touched its little head.

"Nashida told me that this guy is good in every way, except that he never accepts empty-handed fishing and he won't eat unless he catches fish.

It would be better if Nashida was here, she could just act like a spoiled brat, but his wife and daughter are not here, so he has no choice but to be stubborn."

She waved her hands helplessly. Before, she and Paimeng had something to ask Jiang Li for help, but this guy insisted on catching a fish. There was no choice but the two of them waited with this guy for a whole day until he caught a small fish as thick as a little finger.

So every time they saw Jiang Li fishing, Ying and Paimon would run as far away as possible. If there was no other way, they would look for Nashida. If that didn't work, they would release dozens of fish upstream, and there would always be one that would take the bait.

[Okay, okay, that’s the point, right?]

[I can be as hard-core as possible when my wife and children are not around.]

[This is so funny. As long as I fish long enough, I won’t be considered empty-handed.]

[Ha ha ha ha. ]

miu?

(Is there any other solution?)

"Of course, leave it to me."

He patted his chest and made the promise, then dived into the water. The live broadcast device split into two again, and then everyone saw Ying asking a carp king to take the hook.

Jiang Li threw the Magikarp back into the sea with satisfaction and put away his fishing rod. He felt relieved.
