Summer tree of elves

Chapter 1 Cherry Town

Kanto region, northwest, Cherry Town.

Layers of mountains separate the town from the sea. The salty sea breeze blows into the town through the sea level. Even though there are still several mountains separated, you can still smell the salty and wet smell, which is the essence of the sea. breath.

Lead-gray clouds floated over from the sea level. It is a sign of a strong typhoon at sea. The typhoon comes and goes, so people living in Cherry Town don’t worry about this. Most fishermen will use the weather forecast to To prevent the typhoon in advance, first retrieve the fishing nets, and hide at home early to watch TV programs.

Dr. Odd's program is on the air, which is an annual custom in Cherry Town. With the rise of trainers, the professional layout of the entire world has changed one after another. The industry has developed corresponding professional leagues, such as the Grand Slam Gold and Silver Cup. , there is also the elf league held on the Quartz Plateau. In addition, elf coordinators, tacticians, trainers, elf scholars, breeders, etc. have appeared in other corresponding areas, but there are also some towns, because of the congenital There is a gap, unable to provide for children to embark on the journey of becoming a trainer, Cherry Town is such an unfortunate place.

Unfortunately, there are also lucky people. In a city far across the sea, there is an elf scholar named Dr. Damu. His attainments in elf research have also reached a state of fanaticism. Some people say there are 151 types of elves, some say 493 types. In short, some new types of elves have been exposed in the mainland over the years. Dr. Oki has unique insights in the field of elf research, and this aspect is also unmatched. comparable to it.

In the remote Cherry Town, there is also such a doctor living in one of the oak tree houses. Maybe he is not as famous as Dr. Oki, but he also has unique insights into the cultivation of elves. Every August , Dr. Ord will broadcast live to the whole town through the only TV tower in the town.

"This year's live broadcast is still going on as usual. The Pokemon for beginners I recommended to you a year ago are as follows: Little Fist Stone, Little Lada, and Bobo. In my eyes, these three are just the entire Pokémon group. The three most common types of individuals in the country, those who can maximize their mediocre abilities are the common goal of our scholars and trainers, but this year's plan can't keep up with the changes. I especially recommend the new beginner-specific elves, as follows , I will recommend these three to everyone. They are. "

"Frog Seeds."

"Squirtle Turtle"

"Little Fire Dragon"

In a cabin.

Xia Shu came in from outside the house, he sneezed forcefully, and changed back to an unlovely expression again.

There were also two people sitting in the room, Xia Shu's mother Maya and father Rondo. His father was a pastor and his mother was a teacher in the town. Although their lives were poor, the whole family lived happily.

Many families in Cherry Town will quarrel. The town is located in a remote suburban area, relying on mountains to eat mountains, and relying on water to drink water. Every winter, the sea water is bitingly cold, and strong men shiver when they go into the sea wrapped in furs.

As the saying goes, poverty can limit imagination, but the people in this village are rich in thinking ability, strong thinking ability, strong hands-on ability, and the original life of withered grass will continue.

But once in a while, a sail floated from the sea. On the sail lay a smelly, rough man who had drunk alcohol. He was wearing a white coat and the hair on his head was almost protruding.

It was also from that day that the people in the town not only had imagination, but also had hope for a better future. This TV tower was also named after Dr. Ord. Every year, Dr. Ord One lucky child will be selected from among the 10-year-old children, and these children will go out to realize their dreams through fundraising, sending three people a year. This traditional custom is still continuing.

And this year is no exception, the terrible monsoon has swept across the beach, further destroying the surrounding area, and there are still mountains around Cherry Town, otherwise it will definitely be affected by a strong typhoon, and maybe even the house will be uprooted
Residents living here have long been accustomed to such winds. In other towns, a typhoon would definitely bring a major disaster, but in the eyes of the people in this town, the appearance of a typhoon does not seem to be terrible.

"Honey, the typhoon is coming, close the doors!" Mother Maya's voice echoed, Xia Shu packed up the quilts outside the house, and even sent the dried fish into the house.

When the door was closed, the voice on the TV program happened to be heard clearly. Dr. Ord had already spoken very loudly, and at this time there were three elves standing beside Dr. Ord.

One is grass-type, with a green seed growing on the back of the frog seed, a kind of elf that is as hot as a flame, and looks like a flame lizard at first glance is a little charmander, and the other is a jellyfish with a carapace on its back. Niguo, this Jenny looks dumb, but it is the most popular pet. Even the beautiful hosts in TV shows love it, and never put it on the ground in their arms.

"These three elves are Frogseed, Charmander, and Squirrel. If Dad guesses, he will definitely use Charmander. You see, it's full of energy. It's very good. Boys should use it." ’ Rondo laughed loudly.

It's a pity that there is no if. When Dr. Ord came to Cherry Town, he was just nine years old. This custom has been handed down after a year. If he was not drawn at that time, it would be tantamount to delaying a lifetime. , and I have never walked out of Cherry Town in my whole life.

As a missionary pastor, this further shows that he is a lazy ghost, one of the seven deadly sins. Laziness, he committed the seven original sins, so every day Rondo would bow down to the sun, as if bowing to the sun, God can see more to his devout heart.

"If I must choose the frog seed, look at it, it can use the rattan to help me carry things, how convenient it is." Ma Ya responded in a supporting way.

"But I think that Squirrel is pretty good too."

It's not that Xia Shu wants to fight against the two elders, but he thinks that Squirtle is very good.

Who would have thought that his casual remark would immediately draw eyes from the parents, Maia laughed and shouted: "My silly son, what else can that Jenny turtle do besides being cute? What do you want to do?" I said that if you are drawn, choose the frog seed"

"I think Charmander can do it." Rondo recommended with a smile.

Facing the recommendation of the two, Xia Shu didn't take it seriously, wrinkled his nose, and replied casually: "Look, I may not be able to draw me, I didn't vote for a postcard, how could there be someone with me?" share."

"You are stupid, son. I voted for postcards. Drawing postcards is an important part. 10 years old is a threshold. If you miss it, it will be a lifetime thing. Your father and I have missed this opportunity in Cherry Town until now. , look at me like this, I don't want my children to be like me in the future, so I'm also secretly saving money, if you don't get drawn this time, then five years later, we will leave here and go to other places The city continues with our lives," Rondo said.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about it when the time comes, my efforts will not be in vain, even if I can't become a trainer, I will work hard to get there by myself, and becoming a person like Dr. Odd is my goal." Xia Shu whispered.

Maya, who is a teacher of the people, was stunned for a moment, and asked repeatedly: "So, son, your goal is to become a scholar."

"I just want to be a scholar, this is my ideal"

Xia Shu's words immediately received applause from the two parents. Maya applauded enthusiastically, her eyes were red from crying, and she kept muttering: "As expected of my son, he really has promise, and I want to be a scholar in the future. " and the like.

And Rondo felt a pang of regret. He originally wanted his son to inherit his mantle, but he saw that the neurotic preacher would become an unpopular profession with little income, and he couldn't bear to let his son fall into a dead end. Heads down and applause.

"I already have the star cards of the three of them. A child from Auer from Cherry Town, a child from Aichuan from Cherry Town, and a child from Xia Shu. The above three children are this year's honorary winners. The three children whose names were drawn Don’t forget to report to the Oak House at the end of Cherry Town within the end of this month.”

The TV show ended here, and then there was a scrolling subtitle, and then it turned into other TV dramas. The three people in the room sighed one after another. Attention, and then all of a sudden woke up.

"Ah, that was our son's star card just now. Our Natsuki was drawn. Although he was the third one to be drawn, he was indeed the lucky one. It seems that I made the right choice to worship God every day. Thank you God, Amen!" Rondo jumped up immediately and shouted loudly.

Ma Ya stretched out her hand and expressed a different point of view: "Calm down, be careful that extreme joy begets sorrow, if you ask me to say that being drawn is not a good thing, you didn't listen to Xia Shu, if you want to be a scholar in the future, then How can I take the opportunity to travel? It will delay my study.”

"Okay, since you have the opportunity, of course you have to develop outward. The prerequisite for becoming a scholar is to go out. Otherwise, even if you become a scholar, no one will recognize you, no one will allow you to be a scholar, so what should you do? "Rondo talked about his experience of traveling to various continents when he was young, and Maia couldn't say a word in an instant, so he stared and turned his head to look at him.

Just wanting to hear what else he wanted to say, Rondo knew it would hurt his face if he said it, so he didn't say it at all.

"Dad is right. The prerequisite for becoming a scholar is to be recognized by the world, otherwise my value is hemiplegia, and the knowledge I teach is taught to me by my mother. Mom, you also want more people to recognize your son. Well, I don't want to grow up in Cherry Town ignorantly, and then become an outsider who doesn't know anything, and this TV tower blocks the news from the outside world. I don't know what the outside world is like. I really want to Go out and have a look." Xia Shu confessed the secret he had kept in his heart for the past three years, and the rest of them lowered their heads and remained silent after hearing this.

After a long while, fortunately, Rondo broke the calm and said with a snicker: "Look at you, you are still the mother of the child. Why do you worry about your son being so old? My age, my parents You can't control me either."

"You are you, your son is your son, and can it be the same? And can't your parents control you? Control you, and you still want to sneak out, you know how to play around all day long, and your son is just like you." What a pity, but fortunately my son is like me, and the son who will become a scholar in the future is different." Ma Ya expressed a burst of emotion.

"It's all the same. It's all the same. Knowing my son is like father, I already knew that my son will be promising in the future, and the funds for traveling are all prepared. I got a card for him. From now on, every month's money will go to the card. hit."

The shrewd Rondo showed a stingy smile. Is it true that this is what a missionary should say? God's coffin can't hold it down.

Xia Shu sat on a chair, staring at the TV covered with snowflakes, thinking about nothing.

And he was really fortunate that he was not wrong, that Xia Shu was indeed right, and even the shrewd Rondo and the teacher's mother Ma Ya were right, so he was right, and both of them felt for him Happy, but Xia Shu has kept one thing from them for so many years.

In fact, the body named Natsuki he was boarding was given to him willingly by the dead Natsuki. That Natsuki was afraid of elves, and his finger was bitten by the carp king, and it hurt for a week. After that, No matter what elf is close to him, the real Natsuki tumbles down the cliff while climbing the mountain again.

And which Natsuki swapped his soul with him, and now lives a comfortable life in another world. On that other earth, there are no elves. In addition to going to school, there is a system called the Internet, surfing the Internet, playing games, and so on. It is a children's paradise to be able to chat with soft girls and cute girls.

But the pattern of this world is different. Although many places are like paradise, there are also various evil organizations behind the scenes, and the structure of local factions is different.

Xia Shu has been in this world for five years, and he has basically seen the world through. With his wisdom, the world is not as bad as he imagined. As long as he is willing to go out, the future must be bright, even if Xia Shu It would be too bad if his original parents were as hard-headed as his parents from another world.

"Okay, I've decided, let's do it."

Rondo let out a bluff, and immediately walked to Xia Shu, handed over the card, and said, "Although the family has no money, we are willing to spend any amount of money for your future and education, so don't worry. Son, if you are short of money, write a letter and tell me, Dad will help you raise money.”

"Dad, Mom, thank you, I will work hard." Apart from thanking Xia Shu, if he said too much, he would show sadness, and even if he wanted to leave, he would not be able to leave.

This is the fetters of the family. Wherever the child goes, there is a thread tied to the palm of the parents. This is the so-called love.

"I don't know whether to work hard or not. Since you want to become a scholar, you should not shrink back when you encounter any troubles and difficulties, even if it is desperate. I mean, it's okay to take risks when there is no life-threatening situation. But you must Protect yourself."

Maya probably figured it out. Mother’s doting is always a big obstacle on the child’s growth path, and when you let go, you should let go. Lions let them learn to adapt to nature when they are young, so that they can grow up independently.

Now that the travel plan has been decided, the lively atmosphere inside the wooden house is again evident.
