Elves: Starting with Gyarados

Painting requires talent. This is Su Mu's experience after studying art for many years. Some people will find that after painting for a long time, no matter how hard they paint, they can't draw well or can't draw well.

People like to say that success is 90.00% hard work, plus [-]% inspiration, but in the end, many people will find that without that [-]% final touch, you will never succeed no matter how hard you try. If you succeed, you will only get stuck at that final step.

Just like Su Mu in sketching and sketching, no matter how hard he worked, he couldn't make progress, and his progress was so slow that it was unspeakable.

But when this matter is applied to gouache, the situation is completely different. Sumu is naturally very sensitive to color perception. If you want the color you want, you can just look at the color palette to get the color you want. With talent and hard work, it will be easy to achieve success in this area.

Su Mu's painting skills are already very good, especially what he is painting now, which is what he most wants to paint and what he is most interested in. Su Mu keeps getting better and better on this wall, and the more he paints, the better he gets.

After the rough color blocks and shapes were outlined, the general appearance of the painting could already be seen. Su Mu stepped back to a position where he could see the overall situation, looked at the painting, and imagined it. When the painting was completed, he nodded with satisfaction.

It seems not bad. Although it is not as artistic as the two paintings above, it is already much better than the paintings in the circle outside.

"Ivy~" (Okay, Su Mu, I didn't expect you to have this skill. Come on, work hard, and remember to draw me nice.) The Ivy Snake came to Su Mu's side and patted Su Mu's Shoulder, while encouraging, he put forward his own ideas.

"Don't you look good? How else can you look good?" Su Mu patted Ivy Snake on the shoulder with his backhand and fought back.

"Ivy-" (That is, look at my hands and feet. Can you help me draw them?) Ivy Snake pointed at his hands and feet.

"The paintings I draw are all of the last evolved form. Where did the Monarch Snake get its hands and feet?" Su Mu was a little confused. What kind of request did the Ivy Snake ask? It was weird.

"Ivy-" (I don't have you to add, don't they all say that art comes from life but is higher than life, we have to learn to be flexible.) Ivy Snake racked his brains, thinking of what he could think of If so, I would advise Sumu here to draw some hands and feet for it. After he evolves, he really doesn’t have it, but the drawing is not real. Can’t he still enjoy it?

"No, we want to be realistic. Think about it, if we really win the championship in the future, it would be so refreshing to see this when we come to this place to play again. Besides, look at it, Charmander is still With two more wings, Duolong has become different, and no one said anything."

"Tengteng?" (Look at what you said, can our final evolutionary forms be the same?) Ivy Snake heard Su Mu's words and couldn't understand what Su Mu was talking about for a while. Charmander, Duolong and the others The two of them have undergone positive evolution, how can they be compared with my own negative evolution?

"This is the law of nature, and I can't help it, so just accept your fate, Ivy Snake."

"Teng Teng——" (No, I need my hands and feet, Su Mu, you can draw them for me.) Seeing that the Ivy Snake couldn't understand the reasoning, it started to grab Su Mu's hand, trying to get through.

"This really doesn't work. If I have a chance in the future, I'll draw you a super handsome one, okay?" In the end, Su Mu was annoyed and decided to find a way to compensate.

"Tengteng?" (You're not lying to me?) Ivy Snake heard what Su Mu said and understood that it really wouldn't work here. If Su Mu had been tortured to this point by himself, he would have agreed long ago.

"When have I ever lied to you?" Su Mu looked at the Ivy Snake's successful look and felt as if his temper had been figured out by the Ivy Snake.

"Teng Teng——" (Okay, remember to draw me a handsome picture.) Ivy Snake let go of Su Mu's hand, but did not forget to remind Su Mu of important points.

"I know, Gyarados, do you have any opinions?" After seeing that Ivy Snake had no objections, Su Mu released Gyarados and them all, thinking of asking their opinions, as long as it wasn't Even if the request is too outrageous, you can consider it yourself.

"Roar——" (It feels pretty good.) Gyarados looked at the wall, and Su Mu felt very satisfied with the painting.

"Luca——" (Not bad, quite handsome.) Lucario was also very satisfied, and as he spoke, he made a gesture of the same style on the wall.

"Mina~" (My opinion is the same as the two of them. It's good. There is no need to change it.) The appearance of Menas, Su Mu chose the sacred posture when it closes its eyes when using mysterious water drops.

"Aww-" (Would it be too exaggerated if I did that?) Charmander looked at himself in the painting and asked timidly.

"That's no exaggeration, Charmander. When you evolve to the end, this is what it will look like." Compared to the time before he was born, Charmander has become much better.This is all the result of the unremitting efforts of himself, Gyarados, Lucario, and Menas. Sumu, the others, and Pokémon have made Charmander understand the world better. After understanding it, he will naturally not be too afraid. .

Su Mu believed that with his continuous efforts, Charmander would become the same as the one in the painting.

"Dolu——" (Can I really be so handsome in the future?) Dolu flew around in front of the painting several times, then came to Sumu, and asked hopefully.

"It's really possible." Faced with Duolong's question, Su Mu gave an affirmative answer.

After hearing Su Mu's answer, Duolong flew in the sky and flew several times excitedly. Looking at Duolong's appearance, Sumu felt that Duolong might need to be more mature and steady if he wanted to become like the one in the painting. OK.

After communicating with the Pokémon for a while, Su Mu casually ate an orange fruit to replenish his nutrition, and then continued to complete his unfinished masterpiece.

As for the food for the Pokémon, let Lucario cook it first. Lucario made it last time and it tasted pretty good.

……

While Su Mu was painting his masterpiece, far away but not too far away from Su Mu, there were two pairs of eyes observing Su Mu closely. These two people were Ross and Xingjiu.

"I didn't expect that Su Mu also has good artistic talents, which makes me want to use such talents even more." Ross stared at Su Mu who was painting, and thought of the one he raised in the palace. They already have a lot of painters, but Su Mu's painting has a bit more aura of agility.

"It's really good." Even Xingjiu, who couldn't stand Su Mu, rarely made a positive comment on Su Mu's paintings.

"Xingjiu, tell me the conditions I have prepared, can I take this Sumu under my command?" Ross put down the telescope, put his hands on the railing, and looked at the tourists coming and going below, knowingly asking.

"Of course you can. I dare say that if you look at the conditions in this world, there are very few people in this world who can refuse the conditions you gave Prince Ross. Of course, you can get it with just Su Mu." Xingjiu felt that Ross's reward was worth it to him. It's hard for me to refuse someone, let alone Su Mu, a country bumpkin who has never seen much of the world.

"I'm also very confident." Ross stared at the crowd of people coming and going below and smiled confidently. People in the world are bustling, and not all are for profit. Ross believes that among the people who recruit Su Mu, he is definitely the most sincere. The highest bidder.

Ross looked at the masterpiece that Su Mu was creating for a while, and then left. It was not what a gentleman should do to disturb a painter who was creating.

Similarly, negotiating dirty deals during a painter's creative process is also disrespectful and polluting to art.

……

Zhu Li, who was squatting aside, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person in the distance leaving. If this person hadn't left, how would he have gone to find Su Mu.

Just before Zhu Li reached Su Mu's side, Su Mu sensed Zhu Li's figure. Su Mu didn't quite understand his current state or what was going on, but he felt very enlightened.

"Zhu Li, please stop tonight's training. I still have important things to do." Zhu Li came to Su Mu's side and was about to speak when Su Mu immediately preempted him and told Zhu Li what he was thinking.

"Huh?" The moment Zhu Li heard Su Mu's words, he stayed where he was. He clearly didn't speak. How could he know what he wanted to say?Also, how did he know he was coming?After professional training, I can walk without making any sound.

"We won't be training tonight, let's talk tomorrow." Su Mu painted himself in the mural and said to Zhu Li without looking back.

"Okay, for the sake of this painting, I won't train tonight." Zhu Li sat on a stone nearby and took out his wine bottle.

"According to what you said, my painting is quite dignified."

"This painting is indeed very beautiful, but from your information, you don't know how to draw." Zhu Li looked at Su Mu's painting, praised it, and expressed his doubts at the same time.

"Well, the hard work in the previous life should be combined with one's own talent." Su Mu answered this question seriously.

"Come on, don't say it if you don't want to say it. You are still making up lies here." Zhu Li looked at Su Mu with disdain.

"Just think that I am gifted." Su Mu stopped drawing and thought of a random reason.

"You are indeed quite talented. How did you come up with the idea of ​​painting this thing?"

Hearing that Zhu Li seemed to believe his words, Su Mu couldn't help but complain. He didn't believe the truth, but he believed the lies. It was really helpless┐(￣ヘ￣)┌.

"Let's just draw pictures as a souvenir. It will be a wonderful thing to see them together when we come back in the future."

"Let's keep it as a souvenir." When the topic came up, Zhu Li fell silent for a moment.

Su Mu, who was painting, suddenly sensed the vague sadness coming from Zhu Li.

In the following time, Zhu Li sat here without saying a word, just drinking wine and watching Su Mu painting there. But as he watched, the person standing there painting seemed to have become himself.

In the picture, there are Moon Eevee, Absol, and the no longer present Gengar, Dream Demon, and Sniper Tree Owl. They are all surrounding him. They all win the championship and travel together, just like Sumu now. Same.

Unfortunately, there are no what-ifs in life. When he thought of this, Zhu Li took another big sip of wine, then stood up and walked away unsteadily.

Zhu Li felt that he could no longer stay with this boy. When he stayed with this boy, it was easy to think of the past. When he thought of the past...

When Zhu Li left completely, Su Mu turned around and looked at his leaving figure with some doubts.

I seemed to have perceived a scene just now. Zhu Li was living his own life with a few Pokémon? ?Quite strange.

Several of the Pokémon in the picture have never been seen by Zhuli. Are they dead?

Su Mu patted his head. He couldn't think about it. He couldn't think about it. He must not think about it.

If you are really interested and curious and go up to ask, then according to the normal development process of the story, you should help.

But I don’t want to help, so I don’t ask.

Get serious about painting.

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Su Mu finally completed the painting that he was most satisfied with in his history.

In the picture, he is in the center, holding the trophy that symbolizes the championship with one hand, wearing a classic red and white ball cap on his head, with the other hand in his trouser pocket. His handsomeness is vividly displayed in this painting.

The last one is Gyarados, who is the first to join the team. The Gyarados in the picture is looking straight ahead, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Su Mu thinks that this kind of Gyarados is quite cute, so he chose this picture. .

Lucario is on his left, holding a wave missile in each hand and staring forward, making a starting pose; Charizard on the right, his fists are flashing with lightning, and his muscles are slightly bulging, looking powerful and domineering. appearance (this is also where Charmander thinks Sumu is exaggerating).

There is nothing much to say about Menus. It is the most beautiful Pokémon in itself. Just being there is already very eye-catching. In addition, Su Mu chose the scene of Menas using the Life Drop. On top of this beauty, plus There's a bit of holiness in it, which makes Menas's beauty rise to several levels.

Duolong floated behind, his body slightly looming, and there were some purple-red will-o'-wisps floating around him, mysterious and elegant.

The monarch snake circled around Su Mu behind Su Mu. As for the body, Su Mu chose smoother lines to make the monarch snake look more elegant. Its arrogant eyes looked at the front with disdain, looking like the funny Ivy Snake now. totally different.

Of course, this is a rough shape, and Sumu made a lot of adjustments in terms of details.

For example, the scales of Gyarados and Menas; Lucario's hair floating due to the flow of wave missiles; the small leaves floating around the Monarch Snake; the looming appearance of the multi-dragon body, etc., I have put a lot of effort into drawing them. .

"Hahaha, Su Mu's masterpiece is really amazing."

Su Mu clapped his hands and was about to call the management here to ask them to come over and clean up the mess when he heard a slightly familiar voice not far away.
