New Years Eve in Pokémon World

Song, who had just finished making dumplings and was about to go to the kitchen to cook dumplings, was also kicked out of the kitchen.

Mitsuko said this. They called Matsuno over because they wanted to entertain him, not because they wanted him to do work.

There is nothing wrong with this, and the Elf Alliance also said that there is no value in continuing to hold Matsuno in the kitchen to cook, and the real meaning is to continue to put him in the living room to talk.

Just like that, Matsuno sat on the sofa surrounded by Yushu and Xiaoyao, and he picked up the TV remote control.

"Although it's daytime, there should be replays of Spring Festival galas from previous years." To be honest, Spring Festival galas have become less and less interesting in recent years. However, sometimes watching the gala is not because of how interesting it is, but just for the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

"Please note, the target person picks up the remote control and be careful to cut off the signal, cut off the signal!" 』

"The backup signal is implanted in the TV!" 』

The moment Matsuno turned on the TV, the screen flashed with snowflakes for a moment, then returned to the original state and continued to play the program.

But the programs inside made Matsuno frown frequently.

"Selling underwear! Selling underwear! Light, breathable and non-restrictive! Buy one get one free for male and female couples in rose pink for a limited time..."

Matsuno: "?"

Are there still people selling underwear online these days?Besides, the price of TV advertising space during the Chinese New Year is also high. This underwear business is really rich.

With an embarrassed cough, Matsuno picked up the remote control and changed the channel.

"Selling wheels! Selling wheels..."

For Matsuno's ignorance, this was the first time he saw an advertisement selling auto parts on TV!

This is also one of the strategies of the Elf Alliance. TV shows are the best thing to expose the background of life. If Matsuno really watches the TV show, he will definitely notice that something is wrong.

So they blocked the TV signal and replaced it with the program they had prepared.

They racked their brains and came up with some very boring shows, full of crap commercials that you wouldn't want to watch a second time.

Matsuno, who did not believe in evil, picked up the remote control again and dialed the third channel.

"Treatment of infertility..."

Matsuno chose to turn off the TV.

It shouldn’t be. Every year on New Year’s Eve, shouldn’t TV programs be showing replays of the Spring Festival Gala?Even if it didn't exist, it would be impossible to place an advertisement for a men's hospital.

Matsuno wanted to tune back and see which channel was so bold, but when he thought about the children next to him, he decided not to.

Yushu rolled his eyes.

In normal times, Youshu is an honest and steady child, and he never has any meandering thoughts. However, when the matter is urgent, once he gets serious, he still has the talent to be an agent.

"Brother Matsuno, tell us a story about the Spring Festival." Yushu pushed the TV remote control far away and acted like a child very shamefully.

Xiaoyao also nodded, "Yes, I have never heard of a story about the Spring Festival."

"No way. Aren't you tired of hearing stories like the Spring Festival since you were a child?" I don't know that others are different from him. Anyway, every year during the Spring Festival, the college students who come to support will tell children like Matsuno about the Spring Festival. The story is about to make my ears feel calloused.

Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, then touched his head in embarrassment, "Is that so? Maybe I forgot."

"It's okay, I'll tell you again... maybe it's not as nice as what your parents told you."

Matsuno thought that telling stories would be much better than watching infertility commercials on TV.

"Speaking of the origin of the Spring Festival, we have to mention two kinds of mythical beasts from ancient times. Only after understanding them can the story of the Spring Festival unfold."

Youshu and Xiaoyao listened carefully with their eyes wide open, while all the experts and scholars behind the surveillance, including Dr. Omu and Mikri, also became energetic, secretly saying that something important was coming.

In the Pokémon world, there are also many powerful mythical beasts from ancient times. They all exist in myths and stories passed down orally, and they are real.

Each region has its own mythical beasts, and these mythical beasts are generally the patron saints of this region. Of course, they are not just guardians. In today's peaceful era, it would also be a troublesome thing if these mythical beasts wake up from their slumber. .

So what does Matsuno say about the mythical beast from aliens?

"According to legend, a long time ago, there was a very ferocious monster called the "Evening Beast". Every year on the last day of the year, that is, on New Year's Eve, this Evening Beast would come out to cause trouble to the world and bite livestock. , and even eat humans.”

The last sentence shocked the two children.

"Eat...eat humans?" Yushu repeated, somewhat in disbelief. In the Pokémon world, there are also cruel beasts. They will harm humans without any scruples in battle, but there are cases of cannibalism. , but never.

"Yes, some villages will even sacrifice boys and girls to the Xi beast to ensure that the labor force in the village will not be lost... Shouldn't I tell you this?"

Matsuno felt that something was off topic, so he quickly cleared his throat and started talking again.

"But this Xi beast has a twin brother, his name is 'Nian Beast'. He is on the side of justice. When he found out that his brother was causing misery in the world, he quickly came to stop it."

"Xi Beast and Nian Beast were fighting fiercely, but they were twin brothers with similar abilities, and neither could do anything to the other. At this time, Nian Beast gave the villagers advice and asked them to prepare firecrackers and red paper. The beast is most afraid of these.”

"So on New Year's Eve, people prepared firecrackers early and posted red blessing characters everywhere. The whole village was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. The Xi beast was frightened and could not defeat the Nian beast, so it had to run away."

"So New Year's Eve is also called 'New Year's Eve', which means eradicating the Eve beast."

The two children were entranced, as were the adults behind the surveillance screen.

This mythical beast story is different from any other mythical beast story in the Pokémon world. As for what is different, no one can tell for a while.

However, Xiaoyao suddenly interrupted, making everyone suddenly enlightened.

"In this story, the big bad guy is not human."

Matsuno was stunned, "Of course not, Ximon is the big bad guy."

Seeing him stop, Yushu quickly urged him to continue, and Matsuno continued.

"The Nian beast has become a great hero. In order to repay its help, people took out ingredients from their homes and made delicious banquets to entertain the Nian beast."

"This Nian beast is so voracious that it ate for 15 days. After eating the last portion of glutinous rice balls, it was barely full and ready to go home."

Matsuno paused and concluded: "So the Spring Festival usually lasts for 15 days, and it doesn't end until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the New Year begins."

After the story was told, Xiaoyao was the first to react.

"I feel like this Nian beast is so down-to-earth, and it even lets humans treat it to food." Xiaoyao smacked his lips, "Does the Nian beast like to eat dumplings?"

Matsuno was happy to be asked such a cute question. He touched Xiaoyao's head, "Of course, there are not only dumplings, but also rice cakes, Yuanxiao glutinous rice balls, and many delicious things..."

"I will definitely make it for you to try in the next few days."
