[Pokemon] Tracing the source

After the noisy afternoon, everyone finally ushered in a pleasant dinner time.

Naturally, Suo Ye showed off his skills for dinner. A series of delicacies were served on the table as if by magic, and the richness made people dazzled.Xiao Luo held a bunch of roasted berries in her hand, eating it very happily.

"Thanks for your hard work, Shuo Ye, cooking so many dishes by yourself. It's really delicious!" Xiao Luo took a big bite of the sandwich and praised inarticulately.

"This time, thanks to Absolu's preparations in advance, it doesn't take time to make it." Shuo Ye brought the last mushroom cheese soup to the table, untied his apron and smiled in Absolu's direction laugh.

"The observation tools needed at night are also ready. Absolu has always been so reliable." Because the work will involve the protection of endangered elves, Xiaomao has also traveled with Absolu several times, commenting Very high, "As expected of the most reliable member of the elf protector alliance."

"sol~" Absol, who was eating elf food, raised his head, shook his head slightly, and looked at everyone around him, "sol."

It's not my own credit, but everyone's efforts together.

"Waowao!" Leolu happily raised his little paw.

"meilo~" The Snow Demon Girl shook her head, for it these are daily tasks.

"lawu~" The ice elf smiled and took credit, and continued eating again.

"Gabi." The sharp-toothed land shark seemed a little embarrassed, and scratched the back of its head with its sharp claws.

"Puku!" Pink Egg patted the tail fin of the big shark beside him.

"Jiano~!" The Ivy Snake just raised its head slightly, maintaining its demeanor perfectly.

Today, it has thoroughly learned what is called queen demeanor from Absolu, and intends to use this as a standard to supervise its own words and deeds in the future, and become a powerful monarch snake that will deter the world (?) as soon as possible.

"Bla—" the moon elf happily responded, and continued to eat.

The silent dedication was praised by the trainer, and all the elves who helped for an afternoon were very happy.

"Roar..." The fire-breathing dragon struggled for a long time and finally let out a low growl without confidence.

"The fire-breathing dragon also helped a lot, thank you~!" Xiao Luo walked over with a sandwich, patted the heads of the elves one by one, and finally rubbed against Master Long.

Looking at the appearance of the fire-breathing dragon, he guessed that it was probably eaten by Absolu again, and Xiao Luo didn't point it out. He still wanted to save the dragon's face outside, so he quickly said thank you.

Master Long snorted with sparks, which was obviously very helpful.

In the atmosphere where everyone was eating happily, there was only one bleak and quiet figure who looked out of place. It was the water arrow turtle from Xiaomao's family who couldn't cheer up because of lovesickness.

"Kame..." Water Arrow Turtle shrugged and pulled the turret, unmoved by the elf food carefully prepared by Shuo Ye.

"Water Arrow Tortoise, let's eat some. Shuo Ye's craftsmanship is very good." Xiao Luo patted its tortoise shell, then turned to Xiao Mao, "I haven't been able to ask carefully before, what is the so-called lovesickness?" what happened?!"

"...Didn't I give the shining love fish to someone?" When it came to this topic, Xiaomao turned his head in embarrassment, "That love fish is the first water arrow turtle. The one I discovered, from taming, nurturing, to leaving, Blastoise was inseparable from it. When I found out that it had feelings for the love fish, that guy had already started to hide from me, so naturally I couldn’t let it go. Blastoise meets Heartfish."

"So that's how it is..." Xiao Luo patted the water arrow turtle's listless head sympathetically, "It's really embarrassing for you to have a master who is so slow that he didn't realize your heart until he sent away the love fish."

"Do you have the right to say that others are slow?!" Xiaomao almost choked, and felt sorry for his old partner after a pause. When he figured it out, he would naturally bring the love fish back, and at that time, even if you get tired of being together every day, I would never interfere."

"...kame..." Hearing this, Blastoise finally had a reaction, and slowly turned his head around.

"Just like what Xiaomao said, it's okay~" Xiaoluo picked up the lunch box containing the elf food and held it in front of the water arrow turtle, "Before this, you can't be listless, or wait for the love fish to come back and see What if you are not handsome anymore and find another new love?"

"Kame...!" Water Arrow Turtle was stunned, and finally listened to the persuasion, lowered his head and tried to eat some elf food.

As a result, I couldn't stop after this trial. After being hungry for so long before, I finally opened my heart. When I encountered the delicious food specially made by Shuo Ye, the eating behavior of the water arrow turtle could no longer be described as gobbling. Startled.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, there is still a lot, no one will grab you if you are full."

Seeing that the Blastoise finally had an appetite, Xiaomao also heaved a sigh of relief, and sat down with a bowl of cheese soup with a little spicy eggplant added.

"This thick soup..." After taking a sip, the brown-haired boy raised his head in surprise, "It tastes really good."

"Of course!" Wen Yan Xiaoluo returned to the dining table in a hurry, and raised her head proudly, as if the person who was praised was her, "Because it's Shuo Ye's craftsmanship!"

The black-haired boy gave her a funny look, and handed over all the berry skewers that the girl liked.

******

After the pleasant dinner time was over, and we had some trouble with the elves, the sky was already getting dark.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the entire forest in a dazzling golden orange color, making the lake in front of you look sparkling like gold leaf.Then, as the setting sun set, the world darkened bit by bit, and the golden brilliance disappeared, replaced by a thick night and a cool evening breeze.

Xiao Luo slept alone in the smaller tent. Although it was already dark, she didn't feel sleepy. She sat in the tent with Liolu in her arms and stared at the moon-like moon in the sky in a daze.

There was a fire outside the tent, and next to it was Xiao Mao, who was in charge of the vigil in the first half of the night, and was busy fiddling with a bunch of equipment for collecting signals.After these days of observation, Xiaomao found that the elf in the forest prefers to come and go at night, so he wanted to try to collect some calling signals to determine its detailed location.

The night is getting darker, and everything is no different from usual.Xiao Mao, who was on guard at night, also felt a little sleepy, and yawned lazily.

However, at this moment, the signal collecting instrument that had been silent for a while suddenly moved, and then a long sound came from the depths of the forest. With the sound, the mist in the forest became thicker and thicker. In the end, a dense purple mist was formed, with some faint flashes, which looked very magnificent against the backdrop of the moonlight.

"Xiao Mao!" Xiao Luo jumped up from the tent the moment he heard the voice, and when he came out, he saw that Shuo Ye who was sleeping next door had also got up and walked over.

"Good luck, it is very active tonight." Xiaomao fiddled with the instrument to collect sounds, and his tone was also joyful.The previous times the purple mist appeared in the second half of the night, unexpectedly it appeared not long after nightfall tonight.

"It's really exactly the same as the sighting information received by Dr. Oki." Across a lake, Xiao Luo could also see the dense lavender mist expanding rapidly from the forest as if alive, and he couldn't see the other side clearly after a while. situation.

"Be careful. Although it looks like a natural phenomenon, it is the trick of poison elves. If you inhale too much, it will be life-threatening." Xiaomao said and handed her a gas mask, and turned to look at Abo. Solu also gave Sakuya the same mask.

"It can release so much mist, I'm really looking forward to its real body!" Xiao Luo put on the gas mask, squatted down and brought a small one to Lioru, and then took back all the elves Pokeballs to prevent them from being affected by the fog later.

Shuo Ye and Xiao Mao also took back their elves, leaving only Absolu and Leolu outside.

Absolu didn't wear the same gas mask as Xiao Luo, but took a pill-shaped thing and swallowed it in his mouth, looking very experienced in the fog.

"Sol." After taking the pill, Absolu bit Xiaomao's trouser leg, signaling him to pay close attention to the changes on the instrument.

Xiaomao nodded, turned on the signal of the collector to the maximum, and started working wholeheartedly.

This instrument can effectively determine the range of activities of the target object through the elf's cry and the surrounding map data. It is specially used to find wild and rare elves. It is a secret weapon of the research institute and has not been disclosed to the public.

The murmur in the depths of the mist became more and more obvious, and gradually the sound resounded throughout the forest, almost shaking the ground slightly.

"do—ga—s—ga—s—"

That voice sounded long and sad, as if calling someone, with a strong sense of expectation.

"do—wa—s—s—wa—s—"

The ending sound is very long, one after another, like calling, like crying; it seems to be expecting someone's response, and it is so cautious that it makes people feel distressed.

Such sadness and sadness, as if waiting through centuries, made the listeners almost unable to hold back their tears.Infected by such sad emotions, for a while the echoes in the forest were long and sad calls, as if the whole forest was crying.

A long chant like an elegy.

"Waowao..." Lioulu burst into tears, and couldn't help tugging at the corner of Xiao Luo's clothes, but the other party rarely responded.Lioru looked up, and found that his owner was staring in the direction of the mist, completely unaware of the surrounding world.

She had heard similar voices.

Xiao Luo endured the boiling heat in his chest, and recalled a distant experience.

At that time, she had just embarked on a journey from Kanto. She passed by the lighthouse of elf researcher Zhenghui and stayed there for one night, so that she could meet Dr. Zhenghui's research object—the one who came from the other side of the sea fog giant elf.

The little elf was also like this, making a long and sad sound every night, carefully looking forward to someone's response.

——Are you looking for someone too?

Xiao Luo exhaled, only to realize that her cheeks were soaked with tears, and quickly wiped them with her sleeve.

"Found it!" When Xiao Luo was immersed in that sad cry, Xiao Mao had already completed the collection of sound data, and cooperated with the detailed electronic map of the forest to determine the approximate location of the elf who made the sound, "Luck today Yes, I have never encountered it showing up for such a long time before."

"Are you ready, Xiao Luo, Shuo Ye, we need to enter the forest." Putting away the research equipment, Xiao Mao asked the two people behind him, and got an affirmative answer.

Xiao Luo secretly clenched her fists.If at the beginning she just wanted to meet this rare poison elf with the mood of watching the excitement, then now she really wants to see it and communicate with it.

Such a sad but hopeful voice... If it can help it find the person or elf it wants to meet, that would be great.

The three quickly packed up their things and prepared to enter the forest, but they didn't find a pair of human eyes and a pair of elf eyes flashing through the darkness in the bushes next to the camping site, and disappeared.

The author has something to say:

Finally kicked off this storyline!It was almost the first thing that was settled when writing the outline, and now it is finally on the agenda! TUT

Then it’s time for the long-lost guessing game. XD The first girl who guesses right can call a special episode~

Who is this elf in the forest?

It's not an original elf, it's a poisonous elf in a known illustrated book XD But this time it won't be as simple as Ibrahimovic last time XD

(→v→) It is forbidden to say all the poisons again~ Although the reminder is not obvious, it is still there! XD

Finally, thank you [Deep Deep Blue] and [GAKKI] for mine╭(╯3╰)╮
