Elf, I am really a farmer

Wen Qi returned to the small world with excitement and nervousness, and slowly and carefully took out the Poké Ball containing his bear apprentice.

In his eyes, the Poké Ball in his hand seemed to be the most precious treasure in the world, and it could be destroyed in an instant if it was slightly wrong. As a faint light flashed by, the figure of the bear apprentice gradually emerged.

Its adorable appearance immediately caught Wen Qi's sight, its furry body swaying slightly, and its short and thick limbs standing firmly on the ground.

However, its eyes were full of confusion and anxiety, just like a deer that had lost its way in the thick fog, carefully examining the completely unfamiliar environment around it.

Wen Qi noticed its condition, so he squatted down slightly in a very natural way, with the whole movement slow and gentle, for fear of disturbing his bear apprentice.

He maintained a distance of about two meters between himself and his disciple Bear. This distance was just right, allowing his disciple Bear to truly feel that he had no ill intentions, while not causing him to feel the slightest sense of oppression.

Wen Qi then said softly in a voice as gentle and magnetic as the spring breeze:

"Disciple Bear, don't be afraid. From now on, this will be your new home." The voice echoed slowly in the small world.

Apprentice Xiong's small ears were like sensitive radars, shaking slightly, apparently catching Wen Qi's words.

It blinked its eyes, as if it heard Wen Qi's words, but did not give much response. It just stood there quietly like a stone statue.

Its body was slightly tense, and it looked around vigilantly. Every muscle in its body seemed to be ready to deal with any possible emergency at any time.

Wen Qi couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart when he saw his disciple Xiong's reaction.

He knew very well that it would not be easy to successfully subdue the bear disciple in front of him, especially since it had just experienced a huge change of ownership.

Wen Qi thought to himself, "This bear disciple is so sensitive to new environments. I must be very patient and slowly gain his trust."

His eyes were focused and determined, and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was pondering an extremely complicated problem.

At the same time, Apprentice Xiong's mind was also filled with thoughts.

It clearly remembers all the past events between itself and General Zhou.

When it was first captured by General Zhou, it was filled with joy. Although it knew that its qualifications were not the best among the many Pokémon owned by General Zhou, it still looked forward to thriving under the careful cultivation of its new owner.

Under General Zhou's careful care, its strength indeed increased rapidly and soon reached the upper limit of its qualifications.

However, its fate took a sharp turn for the worse here. Since it could not obtain the items for evolution, it could only helplessly maintain the form of a bear apprentice.

General Zhou also gradually became helpless from his initial reluctance and persistence, and his attention to it also gradually decreased.

In recent years, if Zhou Zhen had not mentioned it by chance, perhaps General Zhou would have really forgotten it in some corner.

When he learned that he was about to be sold to Wen Qi, Apprentice Xiong's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

It was sad about leaving its familiar environment, and it also knew that it could no longer see any hope for the future with General Zhou.

It still remembered what General Zhou had said to it: "Go to Wen Qi, maybe you still have a chance to complete your evolution."

These words were like a seed of hope, quietly planted in its heart.

So at this moment, Apprentice Xiong raised his head and stared at Wen Qi intently, with curiosity and anticipation intertwined in his eyes.

Its eyes were sparkling, as if hiding countless questions that needed to be answered:

"Can you really help me evolve? I have been trapped in this form for too long. I am eager to break through and become stronger."

Its tiny claws were scratching the ground unconsciously, and its body was slightly leaning forward, just like a child eagerly waiting for an answer.

Wen Qi saw the expectant look in his disciple Xiong's eyes and vowed in his heart:

"No matter what, I will do my best to subdue it, not only for the generous and tempting mission reward, but also because the desire in this bear apprentice's eyes deeply touched me."

There was a flash of determination in his eyes, and his hands clenched and unclenched unconsciously, as if he was silently cheering himself up.

Wen Qi slowly stood up, his movements still slow and steady, and then walked towards the cabinet where the Pokémon food was placed.

Along the way, his eyes never left his bear apprentice, and he was thinking in his mind what kind of food he should use to effectively close the distance between them.

When he reached the cabinet, he opened the door and carefully selected several different types of energy cubes and fresh fruits, and placed them one by one on an exquisite small plate.

Afterwards, Wen Qi held the plate in both hands and walked slowly towards Apprentice Xiong with light steps.

His footsteps were extremely light, as if he was afraid of crushing the fallen leaves on the ground. When he was only about one meter away from the bear apprentice, he stopped, squatted again, gently placed the plate on the ground, and then slowly stepped back a few steps.

"Disciple Bear, if you are hungry, there is some food here, you may try it."

Wen Qi's voice was still as gentle as before, but there was a hint of expectation in his eyes, hoping that his disciple Bear would be interested in these foods.

The bear disciple's small nose twitched a few times, obviously smelling the tempting aroma of the food. It hesitated for a moment, then carefully moved a few steps towards the plate, then stopped and looked up at Wen Qi.

Seeing this, Wen Qi smiled and nodded gently at it, indicating that it didn't need to worry and could eat it without worry. The bear apprentice then lowered his head, stretched out his paw to pick up an energy cube, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Wen Qi watched his disciple Xiong start to eat, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved. He knew that this was undoubtedly a good start, at least it showed that his disciple Xiong did not completely reject him.

Wen Qi stood quietly in place, leaning forward slightly, his eyes fixed on his bear apprentice who was eating. He was secretly glad that the bear was willing to accept the food. At the same time, his brain was working rapidly, thinking hard about the next appropriate strategy to tame it.

Suddenly, the bear apprentice stopped eating, slowly raised his head, stared at Wen Qi with his round eyes, and made several short and crisp sounds from his throat.

The cry seemed particularly abrupt in the silent little world. Wen Qi was stunned for a moment, his body straightened subconsciously, his face full of surprise and astonishment.

He never expected that his bear apprentice would take the initiative to talk to him, but he quickly realized that thanks to his power of Tokiwa, he could understand the language of Pokémon.

At this moment, Apprentice Bear's eyes were flashing with curiosity and anticipation, and his ears were slightly erected, as if he was anxiously waiting for Wen Qi's response.

Seeing that Wen Qi did not respond, it called a few more times, with a hint of urgency in its voice, as if it was asking anxiously:

"Can you understand me?"

Wen Qi quickly came back to his senses, a gentle smile immediately appeared on his face, and he quickly waved his hand and said in a gentle and sincere tone:

"I can hear you, Disciple Bear. If you have something to say, just say it. I can understand what you mean."

As he spoke, he slowly squatted down until he was at eye level with his apprentice Bear, his eyes filled with friendliness and patience.

When Apprentice Bear heard Wen Qi's reply, his tense body visibly relaxed, and his ears drooped a little. He exhaled softly, and the breath was mixed with the aroma of the food he had just eaten.

"Great! I was worried that you didn't understand." The voice of the bear apprentice sounded in Wen Qi's ears, with a kind of naivety and innocence that only belongs to a young animal.

It tilted its head slightly and stared at Wen Qi without blinking. The vigilance in its eyes had dissipated a lot, replaced by a desire for intimacy.
