Elf: Daily life starting from the wooden owl

The oak forest, with its lush branches and leaves, blocks out the sky and the sun. It is the second largest forest in Guandu after the evergreen forest.

Even during the day, the forest is as dark as night. There are a large number of insect elves living in it, which is the favorite of the insect-catching boy.

Of course, due to environmental reasons, the forest is also home to some elves that like to come out at night, such as owls or dark crows.

The bus drove slowly on the only road in the forest. In order to avoid disturbing the wild elves, the driver kept the speed of the bus very slow.

The road to Huipi Town is really difficult, but even so, there are still many tourists who come there every year to visit.

There are two main reasons. One is that the only steel family that has the art of making tangerine balls lives here, and there is also a tangerine grove around it.

The shelf life of tangerine balls is only about 30 years. Although the quality is completely incomparable with modern Poké Balls, its own tangerine flavor and natural special effects are very satisfying to some trainers.

The other one is the Well of Slowpoke, which has existed for hundreds of years, just next to Jupi Town. The local residents also regard Slowpoke as a mascot and will cut off its tail to make various delicacies.

The only two places in the world that export high-quality Slowpoke tails are the Isle of Armor in Galar and the other is the Well of Slowpoke in Hinoki Town.

They transport the tail by air transport and will not open other routes to damage the surrounding environment, but the profit is enough to cover the cost...

Lu Ming read these things in the travel brochure. After entering the oak forest, the mobile phone signal would be much weaker, so he used this kind of thing to pass the time.

"The Slowpoke tails from Jupi Town, I remember they sold for [-] a piece, right?"

He recalled that he had seen it in high-end restaurants before, but this was the price before it was made into dishes, and the finished product was more expensive.

And while it is said to be a tail, it is actually only the tip of the tail, which is less than ten centimeters. When I was in Alola a few years ago, I saw local dishes made from tails that were dried in the sun and then boiled in salt water.

It was Alola's home-cooked food, and he had eaten it before, but the tail was of average quality and could only be bought for a few hundred yuan.

"Suddenly, I have shifted to food. When we get back to Huipi Town, we will take Mumuxiao out for a meal. Once in a while, we will spend money."

Lu Ming smiled slightly and continued to read the travel brochure, while the vehicle was still moving slowly forward in the dark forest with lights on.

Now that the tourist season has passed, there were only about a dozen people on the bus, most of whom were residents returning from an outing, but everyone was doing their own thing very quietly.

But after a while, the vehicle suddenly stopped slowly. Lu Ming thought it was a wild elf passing by, so the driver stopped and waited, so he didn't pay attention.

However, after a full three minutes passed, he saw that the car was still parked and not moving. He looked a little confused and raised his head.

But who knows, at some point, there seems to be no one in the car.

"???"

Lu Ming's head was full of questions, and he immediately stood up and looked around. No matter whether it was the seat behind him or the driver, they were all gone.

The bus just turned on its high beam and stopped in the middle of the road. Except for the area in front that was illuminated by lights, it was completely dark and silent.

He frowned slightly, a vigilance flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously looked out the window. Under this darkness, it was as if he and the car were the only ones left in the whole world.

"What the hell happened again..."

Lu Ming was convinced. Things really happened every three days, so he immediately took Mu Mu Xiao out of the car to check to see which blind guy was messing with him.

But when he looked at the seat next to him, he was stunned. There was no Mumu Xiao there.

And let alone Mumu Xiao, his backpack and even other pokeballs were all missing.

"That's outrageous. Is this a dream?"

He suddenly thought of the time when Darkrai was involved in the nightmare a few years ago.

But after continuing to fumble around on his body, he discovered that the GS ball that was supposed to be in Lei Guanwang's hand had ended up in his pocket again at some point.

And the button in the middle of the ball was flashing, as if some elf had just been conquered, but there was no other movement.

"..."

Lu Ming looked at the GS ball in his hand and felt that the flashing button was reminding him to press it. The intention was too obvious.

"You just press it if you ask me to. Wouldn't that make me lose face?"

Even though he said that, he still pressed his finger on it, and just after touching it, the GS ball, which had been silent before, suddenly opened!

"Ok?"

Lu Ming was suddenly startled, but at this moment, the surrounding air seemed to be stagnant for a moment, as if time had stopped.

And in the next second, seemingly endless darkness erupted from the GS ball, swallowing the entire carriage, and the last light finally dissipated...

"!!!"

Lu Ming woke up suddenly and looked ahead with a dull expression. It was not until he heard some noise around him that he finally came back to his senses.

It turned out that at some point, the bus had successfully left the oak forest and arrived at the station in Jupi Town. Now the passengers were getting off in an orderly manner.

"It's outrageous, it's really a dream..."

After seeing that everything around him was still there, he scratched his hair, still a little dazed, packed his things, and walked down behind a passenger.

But just after getting off the car, he recalled the extremely clear dream just now, and subconsciously touched his pocket, and was immediately shocked, because there was really something!

"Why is the GS ball here with me?"

"Gu's treasure house only stores your own things. You don't want this stuff. You'd better take your things by yourself."

King Lei Guan had stuffed the GS ball into his pocket at Manjin City, and actually gave a poke ball to the elf for safekeeping. What on earth was he thinking?

"..."

Lu Ming hesitated to speak, then put the GS ball back into his backpack, and then asked: "When did I fall asleep? Why don't I remember it at all?"

"An hour ago, you were reading the travel brochure, just like those old bald donkeys chanting sutras, nodding your head and suddenly falling asleep."

"..."

Lu Ming was speechless for a moment, then continued to ask: "What else? Did anything else happen when I was asleep?"

"what's up?"

"It's like asking if there's anything strange passing by around the bus."

"Except for being a little darker, this forest is quite normal. I didn't feel anything at all. I remember that an hour ago, I seemed to have passed by an ancestral hall..."

"Huh? Ancestral hall?"

"Don't be paranoid all day long. That thing is quite normal. There is no problem."

King Lei Guan waved his hand and ran away with Huayedi. He heard that the Slowpoke tail here was good, so he planned to go there and taste it.

"..."

Lu Ming had a headache. Maybe it was because he was not in a good mental state during this period. After returning to his senses at the end of the year, he had to take a good rest...

The Iron House is located in the corner of Huipi Town, backed by a citrus grove, so it is very easy to find.

After staying in a hotel, he went out to look for steel and asked the other party to help look into the problem of the GS ball. The main reason was the previous dream, which still lingers now because it is too real.

When Lu Ming looked at the map and went to the Iron Man's house, from the elf center not far away, a petite yellow figure poked its head out and looked at him.

And just after he left, this yellow figure quietly followed him...

It didn't take long for Lu Ming to arrive near Gang Tong's house, looking at the citrus grove in the distance, the sound of continuous forging, and some trainers who also came to visit.

He felt that he might need to spend a lot of time before he could see the other party, but there was still no problem in waiting.

It is said that the ancestor of steel, Tie Han, was a member of the Green Galaxy team hundreds of years ago. He was a craftsman by profession and participated in the creation of the first Poké Ball. This craft has been passed down from generation to generation.

I learned from Silver that Steel is a stubborn person. Even if he can rely on machinery to mass-produce tangerine balls, he still chooses to do it manually.

However, it is precisely because of this ten years of hard work that we can draw the master ball production drawings.

I heard that some small and important parts cannot be made accurately by machines, but steel is made by hand. I don’t know whether it is true or not...

After waiting for a while, Lu Ming always felt as if there were strange eyes peeking at him, but every time he turned around, he would catch a glimpse of a yellow figure flashing past.

The speed was very fast, and no information was even displayed. This reminded him of how Pikachu used to hide and peek at him like this.

But it's obvious that this is definitely not Pikachu, and it seems to be smaller.

Just when he wanted to go over and take a look, there seemed to be no other people in front of him, and the sound of blacksmithing was also much quieter.

In order to avoid wasting time and being cut in line again, he put the matter behind him for the time being and planned to visit Steel first.

But as soon as he left, the yellow figure appeared again...
