The Road to the Master of the Elves

Chapter 239 Empathy
After Qiao Na followed Shi Lei and left Mont Blanc, she regretted her impulse a little bit.

She and Shi Lei were not talkative people in the first place, coupled with the subtle atmosphere between the two of them... It made Qiao Na, who has always been aloof, a little restless.Shi Lei was also restless.The two sat on the boat heading to the western island, one closed his eyes and the other stared out the window intently. They both seemed very calm, but they were both a little uncomfortable.

Qiao Na didn't know what was wrong, since her parents passed away, she lived with her grandmother in Dragon Island, she was used to being alone, but when Shi Lei sent her an invitation, she accepted it without hesitation .After she accepted the invitation, she realized that she was a bit abnormal, but...she still set off with Shi Lei.Perhaps it was because Li Yu and Xia Dong's training made her very excited.Jona told herself this in her heart.

After the ship arrived at the destination, Shi Lei felt that since Qiao Na was the one he invited on his own initiative, he should take the initiative to open up the topic so that the atmosphere between the two of them would not be so embarrassing...

"Well...do you have any particular place you want to go?" Shi Lei asked.

Shi Lei and Qiao Na just arranged a direct route to Ireland before they set off, and they didn't discuss any other additional places on the way...

Asked by Shi Lei, Qiao Na was slightly taken aback, and then replied calmly: "There is a relatively large jungle behind this coastal town, and after passing through the jungle, you will arrive at the city of Tuscany. There is a water system there Gymnasium, shall we challenge the resident trainers of the gymnasium? It is not difficult to challenge the intermediate trainers with our strength."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Shi Lei nodded, and he and Qiao Na ate something in the small town before entering the jungle.

This jungle is indeed relatively large, probably because it connects the port with the city of Tuscany, so there are many guide signs in the jungle, and the places where wild Pokémon appear and disappear are marked, which saves a lot of trouble.It was getting dusk, Shi Lei and Qiao Na rested in an open space.

After the two prepared something to eat for themselves, they released their Pokémon and let them go for food.Shi Lei noticed that a Pokémon he hadn't seen appeared in Qiao Na's Pokémon team. "This tear-eyed lizard is so cute, is it your new Pokémon?" Shi Lei asked.The four of them didn't participate in the second half of the competition this time, so he always thought that Qiao Na only had Sun Ibrahimovic, Rose Redo, Armor Bird and Evelvet Moth.

Qiao Na smiled and touched the tear-eyed lizard's head and said, "Yes. He also worked hard in this competition. It's a pity you didn't see it."

"When I was on my way, I happened to be able to watch the game video." Shi Lei said a little uncomfortably, "Is the tear-eyed lizard a new species discovered last year?"

Seeing the Pokémon leave one after another, after the two sat firmly, Qiao Na said: "Yes. When Dazhou allocated resources this year, this little guy happened to be one of the resources allocated to our school. Before the competition, The school gave it to me as a reward." Qiao Na smiled and continued: "Your school should have some, but with Mr. Xia and Mr. Li here, you should not be too short of Pokémon resources."

"The two elders will not interfere with our choice of Pokémon, and will only try to create opportunities for us to fight for. My ancient coelacanth was only tamed with the help of Xia Lao." Shi Lei said, "But even if the school has He intends to give us four rewards, and we probably won’t accept them. With the teachings of Mr. Xia and Mr. Li, coupled with our own family background, these resources should be reserved for more people in need.”

Qiao Na raised her eyebrows, she seemed a little surprised by Shi Lei's words, and said, "Perhaps this only happens in China. In the United States, no matter what family background you have, you will fight for a little bit of resources." of."

"It's a question of the state of the country. We in China have always advocated unity and cooperation and advocated a win-win situation. The United States has too much color of single-person heroism." Shi Lei said solemnly, "Of course I am not saying that the United States is not good, every country will have suitable people. This is normal in the social form of each country."

Jona nodded in agreement, and then silence fell between the two of them again.Fortunately, it didn't take long for the Pokémon to come back.

Trainers who sleep in the wild will not take back Pokémon into the Poké Ball. Although most wild Pokémon will not actively attack the trainer, there will be additional examples, and there will be some mischievous Pokémon Meng came over out of curiosity to "molest" the trainer who was sleeping on the street.Surrounded by their Pokémon, Shi Lei and Qiao Na seemed to relax a lot.Especially Qiao Na, when she faced her Pokémon, she showed a gentle expression that she had never had before.

"You like your Pokémon very much." Shi Lei said affirmatively.

"Of course, don't you like your Pokémon?" Qiao Na said with a smile.

"You are especially different from Sun Ibrahimovic and Rose Redo." Shi Lei said.

Jona was stunned for a moment and said, "Sun Ibrahimovic was left to me by my father. Roseredo was left to me by my mother. The meaning is different."

"I'm sorry. I can't stop stepping on your sadness." Shi Lei said apologetically.

Jona waved her hand and didn't care much: "It's okay. People can't be resurrected after death, they have already fallen into the arms of God. Besides, I've been used to it for a long time." Jona's eyes were a little dark.

"Strange, no wonder you are so strong! You are no match at all." Shi Lei changed the topic a little stiffly.

Qiao Na shook her head and said with a smile: "It's still far away. Although they are Pokémon left to me by my parents, I can't fully display their strength due to my experience. I still need to learn more. "

Shi Lei looked at Qiao Na who was combing Ibrahimovic's hair again, for a moment, he seemed to see himself.He paused for a long time, and said slowly: "Actually... Rumble Stone is also the Pokémon my father left me. He disappeared."

Jona slowly raised her head and looked at Shi Lei, as if waiting for him to continue.

Shi Lei looked at the bright camping lights and said, "He disappeared when I was exploring a secret realm when I was very young. Later, the alliance also sent people to search for it, but..." Shi Lei shook his head and smiled wryly. .

Qiao Na didn't know how to comfort Shi Lei, or she could empathize with Shi Lei's feeling.She knew that Shi Lei needed companionship more than comfort.Same as myself.Qiao Na remained silent, but put a hand on Shi Lei's shoulder, silently accompanying him.Neither of them spoke, and this posture was maintained for a long time.

When they set off again the next day, the relationship between the two seemed to be much closer.Although the verbal interaction between the two is still rare, the eye contact between the two has become more, and they no longer deliberately avoid it, and they will not appear particularly awkward.

"We're in Tuscany ahead. Let's go directly to the Gym to sign up and line up. I hope there won't be too many people today." Jona said with a smile.

Shi Lei nodded with a smile and said, "Okay. Listen to you."
