[Pokémon] Wild baby

Hezhong, Luzi Town.

"Thank you, uncle!"

Xiaoxia smiled and waved goodbye to the cheerful uncle she had just met.

It’s a long-lost hitchhiking feeling, and to be honest, it’s not bad.

"woohoo~"

I stretched my body rather lazily, and before I had time to take in the new environment, I felt like my world was spinning for a while.

"Stop, Leaf Vine Snake!"

The boy who rashly came out of the jungle and knocked down Xiaoxia had a baby's head.

He took the elf ball and chased a light green elf away quickly, not even looking at it.

"Damn it!! Hey boy!"

Xiaoxia has never been good-tempered enough to let others offend her.

Chasing the hit-and-run boy, he completely forgot the purpose of his trip to Luzi Town.

Why, I didn’t ask you to do any multiple-choice questions about whether to support me or not. Are you afraid that I’ll get in trouble? ! I'm so used to you that you don't even have to apologize.

Society, Sister Xia, I am here to teach you how to respect the elderly and love the young!

As the owner of the museum, Xiaoxia, who has taught newcomers how to behave for many years, was somewhat angry at the young people's rude behavior. When she caught up with them, she saw a scene that made her even more angry——

The huge Bi Diao and the mighty Wind Speed ​​Dog are working together to besiege a petite green elf.

And the boy was pressing forward step by step with the elf ball.

Let’s not talk about the level difference, just this attitude of using less to win more, isn’t this clearly shameless!

What a shameless trainer!

Xiaoxia, who had never been used to this shameless subjugation method, immediately took out the Poké Ball and joined the battle: "Sun Coral uses Surf against Wind Speed ​​Dog, and Gyarados uses Thunder against Eagle!"

She gave instructions neatly.

There was no need for redundant judgment. The tacit understanding and mutual trust cultivated through years of fighting side by side made the battle situation suddenly turn into a one-sided situation.

This undoubtedly brings a glimmer of hope to the leaf vine snake that was originally in trouble.

It looked at the girl who had joined the battle, and an undetectable dark light flashed in its scarlet eyes.

"Sahu~" "Ouch——!"

The super high damage brings immediate results.

but--

He glanced at the boy who was mumbling dejectedly because all the elves had lost their ability to fight. Xiaoxia suddenly felt that she had gone a little too far.

However, this little bit of guilt completely disappeared after seeing the injured elf.

She shook her head.

No matter what, it's wrong to bully elves.

At least she couldn't just sit idly by after seeing it!

"Hey, you—"

"Wow!! Why, why, failed again, Leaf Vine Snake, do you hate me so much?" The boy who suddenly shouted, stared closely at the green elf, his eyes full of unwillingness and loss.

"Taga!"

Ye Tengshe glanced at the tearful young man indifferently, nodded without hesitation, and spoke in a brisk voice without any nostalgia.

"Yes, really? Wow - disgusting! Disgusting!"

"The leaf vine snake and the like are the most annoying!!"

"Eh? What's going on?" She held out her hand and stared at the boy who ran away in tears. Xiaoxia swore she heard the sound of the boy's heart breaking.

"So, what exactly is going on?"

The confused girl looked at the elf who walked toward her without appearing embarrassed even though he was scarred, and felt that she could no longer understand this direction.

"Ah, finally found it!"

The woman who hurriedly came to talk was wearing a white coat, with brown hair tied up to look smart and neat: "Orange hair, blue backpack, you are Xiaoxia, hello, this is the first time we meet."

"Hello, Dr. Purple Shirt!!!"

Xiaoxia, who finally remembered the purpose of her trip, couldn't help but blush.

Inside the institute.

"So, did the kid give up?"

After listening to Xiaoxia's narration, Zishan sighed.

"Eh? What's going on here, Dr. Zishan, why is that boy so obsessed with -" Xiaoxia glanced subconsciously, she had finished healing her wounds, and was sitting on a table not far away, letting the staff Green elf doing inspection.

"Taga~"

Ye Tengshe lazily half-squinted his eyes and looked back at the girl who was paying attention. His tone was elegant and reserved.

"Leaf vine snake?" Dr. Zishan automatically completed Xiaoxia's words.

"Ah, um!"

"That child - Leaf Vine Snake, originally embarked on the journey as a beginner elf with that young boy Reiner, but."

Dr. Purple Shirt paused, seeming to recall something helpless: "Half a month after they set off, this leaf vine snake came back, and it was unwilling to become Reiner's elf again."

"Ehhh?!"

Xiaoxia, a girl from Guandong who had never heard of such a thing, said she couldn't understand it.

"Ah, actually, this is not a very strange thing."

It was natural for him to become a doctor who popularized science for a girl trainer from another area, and he talked eloquently about it.

"The Leaf Vine Snake is a kind of proud and intelligent elf. Their calm and sensitive character often makes them make their own judgments about their trainers. Therefore, there are often situations where the Leaf Vine Snake with higher ability abandons his trainer. Appear."

"This is the case with this leaf vine snake."

Ignoring the long-seen expression on the Kanto girl's face, Dr. Purple Shirt smiled and added: "Reiner is also a stubborn child. He has wanted to be a trainer of the Leaf Vine Snake since he was a child, so even after the Leaf Vine Snake comes back, I often come here to try to conquer them again, but this time I heard that they stole my parents’ elves to help, so I’m probably very disappointed.”

Xiaoxia thought of the young man who was so shocked that he burst into tears.

I thought a little guiltily: No, that's probably more than just a loss.

She was still a newcomer after all, so her sense of responsibility as a gym leader for many years began to get in her way, and she couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Taga~"

Xiaoxia, who felt a sudden chill on her calves, lowered her head and made eye contact with the grass elf who came to her at some point: "Um, is it the Leaf Vine Snake?"

"Taga~"

The tone of voice was soothing and leisurely as he responded to Xiaoxia's question. The little elf with snake-like scarlet eyes, whose semi-circle eye arcs made him look particularly round and cute, looked seriously at Bi, who had squatted down to match his height. Eye girl.

It saw the pure concern on that face, and a little bit of guilt that had not yet dissipated. He could also clearly see his own reflection in those extraordinarily clear eyes.

It was not the persistent and morbid concern for the reflection of the powerful and beautiful "Monarch Snake" that I had been forced to face day and night.

Nor is it an unintentional show of goodwill out of a utilitarian urge to close the distance.

"Although I have heard about Dr. Zishan's exquisite and advanced medical equipment, I still can't completely relax. Are you really fully recovered, Ye Vine Snake?"

The ice outside the increasingly frozen heart suddenly gave birth to a thin crack, and countless broken threads were connected to it.

"Taga~"

Ye Teng Snake heard his exceptionally melodious tone.

I also saw the struggle flashing on the girl trainer's face, and a strange yet pure apology towards her.

It is an innate sense of justice, self-restraint and self-reflection derived from pure goodwill. It is self-condemnation that bursts out from a sense of responsibility after examining one's actions from an objective perspective.

Human beings always have so many complex and diverse emotions.

Ha, what an interesting and magical race.

"I'm sorry, Leafvine Snake," she said.

Those eyes as quiet and beautiful as blue waves reflected sadness.

"I made your original trainer partner lose their confidence in your persistence. As a result, you may lose the opportunity to be selected as the initial partner to travel."

"I'm really sorry, I was too reckless."

"Sorry, there is obviously a better solution, but I am still not mature enough." After all, if she hadn't interfered, maybe even the Ye Vine Snake who was subdued like that would one day accept the boy.

Although she still couldn't agree with such a despicable approach, which ignored the wishes of the elves and the trainer's rules for conquering the elves. But if she could have understood the cause and effect of the incident earlier, perhaps all this could have been avoided.

There is another, better ending.

During her early travels and many years as a gym trainer, Xiaoxia inevitably had some unpleasant memories and experiences.

She is always grateful for the valuable experience and spiritual wealth brought by her increased knowledge.

But he has never been able to feel relieved even for a moment for the pain of those elves who have suffered unfair treatment.

An elf who is so intelligent that he almost appears as a demon, and is so independent that he would choose to abandon his master on his own. An initial elf who was abandoned by his former trainer.

What is the probability of meeting a new trainer who has no regard for the past and embarking on a journey again?

Xiaoxia didn't dare to think about it, so she felt guilty.

Every elf that is the trainer’s initial partner.

From the very beginning, everyone must have longed for their future trainers and the unknown, broader world, and they also looked forward to becoming a stronger version of themselves.

In fact, most of them are still just children.

Ye Teng Snake stared blankly at the girl trainer in front of him who shed tears unconsciously.

The liquid that accidentally dripped onto its body was so hot that its body, which had maintained a relatively low temperature all year round, trembled.

Xiaoxia felt that she should be responsible for the unfair treatment suffered by this elf who had not seen more scenery in this world because of such a stain: "If you don't dislike it, are you willing to travel with me?"

Leaf Vine Snake.

Silent trembling——!

Ah, the crisp sound of the ice breaking is so joyful and sweet.

This is exactly what it is looking forward to!

Smiling, she wiped away the tears that were rolling down the girl's face with her leaf-shaped hands.

After seeing the other person's eyes widen in surprise, his own eyes curved into a smile because of satisfaction.

Leaf Vine Snake clicked the button of the empty Poké Ball on Xiaoxia's waist with a vine whip, and was put into the ball without any struggle.

Ah, ah? !

Tears are still hanging on my eyelashes, but they are still about to fall.

Xiaoxia, who had a look of surprise on her face, was holding the elf ball that suddenly gave her an extra elf, and she couldn't regain her senses for a long time.

With a head full of questions like 'Who am I, where am I, what virtues and abilities am I, what have I done, are you so decisive? ’ The confused look of the bubble box made Dr. Zi Shi, who had been watching for a long time, laugh.

"Congratulations, Xiaoxia, you subdued an elf on the first day you came to Hezhong. It's quite an achievement!"
