Pokémon: Chosen Ranger

Lying on the grass by the lake deep in the forest, Xia Ye heard Blimwen's reminder and got up and patted the weeds on her body.

"Well, Cang Xiang and Zangmarant are back, as well as two pairs of people and Pokémon. It seems that Sode and Hilde have passed the test, not bad, not bad~"

Xia Ye nodded with satisfaction. He knew that the two of them could fulfill his expectations, but how should he explain it next?

"Ouch~"

"Barking~"

The distant howl of wolves came, and two giant wolves emerged from the fog with steady steps. They appeared calm, but the swaying tails behind them had long betrayed them.

After about a while, Soder and Hilde walked out of the fog from different directions. The first thing that caught their sight was Xia Ye and his Pokémon.

In addition to Boomerang and Steel-Armored Crow, there are three more different Pokémon.

Menas, who makes people reluctant to take their eyes away after just one glance, and Brimwen, whose whole body is wrapped in mystery and fantasy.

There was also a petite Pokémon wearing a mask, and they couldn't actually tell if it was a human or a Pokémon.

But just because of its cute appearance, it makes people feel no malice at all. How could such a cute existence exist~

After seeing the intact Xia Ye, the two breathed a sigh of relief, and their hanging hearts could finally be relieved.

"Teacher Xia Ye!"

"Brother Xia Ye, are you okay?"

However, they soon noticed Cang Xiang and Zangmarant beside them, and their eyes widened unconsciously. There were actually two such powerful Pokémon? !

And judging from their behavior, they must have known Xia Ye for a long time. Was their attack on us just discussed in advance?

But what is the purpose of this?

Continuous questions emerged from the minds of the two of them. At this time, Suo De, who had calmed down, suddenly felt that the giant wolf in front of him was inexplicably familiar. He seemed to have seen a similar existence in a certain book.

That's right, it's the story in that ancient book, it's so similar!

In order to verify his guess, Suo De asked: "Excuse me, could it be that you are the brave men in all battles?"

"Ouch~" (Oh, I thought humans had forgotten us now~)

"Speak, the Pokémon speaks!"

Hilde looked surprised. This was the first time he heard a Pokémon speak, and it always felt like he was dreaming.

"What are you surprised about? What should really be surprising is the identities of the two heroes in front of us. They are legendary beings from the Great Patriotic War!"

Suo De's voice was trembling. If he had known the other party's identity earlier, he shouldn't have been so panicked. How could such a great existence hurt Teacher Xia Ye?

"Barking~" (No need to be so respectful, we don't value the so-called honor, we only fight for Galar.)

“Oh, what a selfless virtue!”

Suo De's eyes became wild, and then he realized something was wrong. Wait, what is the relationship between the legendary hero and Teacher Xia Ye?

What was the purpose of what they just did?

Xia Ye coughed lightly and said, "Suode, I understand your question. First of all, I want to apologize to you. The explosion just now was caused by me on purpose."

"Hey, was it created on purpose? But why?"

Hilde was very puzzled, and the Onion Ranger next to him also agreed. If Xia Ye was an enemy, he would definitely scream despicable now.

"Listen to Teacher Xia Ye first. The fact that we can stand here intact proves that Teacher Xia Ye has no ill intentions!"

Compared to Hilde who regarded Xia Ye as a reliable elder, Suo De's tone was more respectful. He sincerely admired Xia Ye.

The Shield Sword Monster next to him has already fallen into a downtime state. The aura of the king here is too strong, one, three, seven, eight, it’s not working anymore, it’s impossible to judge!

"It seems that what you care about most is the reason. Well, the reason is actually very simple. It is to test whether you are willing to take risks to save others." Xia Ye pointed to himself with a smile.

"As a rescued guy, I have to make some noise to let you know about my dangerous situation. Otherwise, when you guys realize it, you won't know how much time will be wasted."

"Brother Xia Ye, I don't know about others, but I will definitely save you. Don't you believe me?" Hilde patted his chest.

Suode on the side spread his arms, shrugged, and said: "The results of the test were not meant to be shown to Teacher Xia Ye, right? The legendary hero, the brave man in hundreds of battles?"

"Ouch~" (Yes, it's better to say that it was Xia Ye who introduced you to us.)

Cang Xiang nodded. It likes guys with smart minds. It seems that its evaluation of Suo De will be higher.

"Barking~" (We will not guide cowardly guys. If we can take the initiative to go to the depths of this forest, we have completed the first test.)

Zangmarante raised his head. He is a straightforward guy. Although it is not an advantage, I just like him.

"Recommendation?"

"guide?"

"To put it simply, now you will be guided by the legendary heroes, right, Cang Xiang, Zangmarante? I think they have passed the test, right?" Xia Ye confessed his ultimate goal.

The two giant wolves responded with affirmative looks. They tentatively approved of the two teenagers in front of them, which meant they had passed the test.

"I knew it!"

Hilde smiled and clenched his fists. Brother Xia Ye really didn't misunderstand us. It would be better to say that he did this because he trusted us. Phew, I feel much better!

".!"

Suode's eyes widened, the legendary hero's guidance!

Haha, I'm afraid I'm showing a very rude expression now. Alas, Teacher Xia Ye, now I owe you a gift in return.

The unexpected acceptance was quick, after all, they are all reasonable children, Xia Ye said in her heart, I am obviously ready to be scolded.

Then he clapped his hands and turned to look at the lake: "In the past, Cang Xiang manipulated the sword and transformed into the King of Swords, and Zangmarante manipulated the shield to transform into the King of Shields. However, these two weapons were destroyed because of the protection of Galar. ”

"Now, the meteorite that fell from the sky is lying quietly at the bottom of the lake. Maybe this is the so-called fate."

"Brother Xia Ye, what are you going to do with that meteorite?"

Hilde was a little confused, but at the same time, she was vaguely aware of Xia Ye's purpose. The sword and shield, and the meteorite as the material, the answer was almost ready to come out.

"But isn't that meteorite at the bottom of the lake? How can we bring it out?"

Suo De has confirmed Xia Ye's purpose, but he can't imagine how to fish out the meteorite and take it out of the forest. It is such a huge thing!

"Of course I have already thought of the method, please, everyone!"

Xia Ye showed a confident expression. If he wanted to ask how to bring the meteorite out, of course he should ask his reliable Pokémon.

After hearing Xia Ye's command, Menas raised his head gracefully. As the queen of the lake, controlling a lake is a simple matter for her.

It softly sings melodious tunes, and its gentle voice like a trickling stream makes the listener fall into tranquility physically and mentally.

Different from people's current mood, the originally calm lake began to become restless. A vortex surged on the lake surface, spinning at high speed and causing turbulent water waves.

With the rotation of the vortex, the scene at the bottom of the lake quickly appeared in front of everyone's eyes. A dark meteorite lay quietly at the bottom of the lake, its surface covered with green moss.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A wild rhythm suddenly appeared in the soothing tune, and it was the King Kong Ape playing the drum.

Four strong tree roots were seen rising from the ground and reaching out to the bottom of the lake at the same time, tightly entangling the meteorite, causing the ape to spin the drum stick in his hand and knock it down violently.

The tree roots showed terrifying power, throwing the meteorite embedded in the mud at the bottom of the lake into the air.

"Gah!" (It's my turn!)

The steel-armored crow flapped its wings violently, and the violent whirlwind surrounded the meteorite in the air, causing it to float in the air.

But the strength of the steel-armored crow alone was not enough to leave the forest, so it hurriedly shouted:

"Gah!" (Brimwen, help me!)

Brímwen showed a helpless smile. It turned out that the steel-armored crow also knew that he couldn't show off.

It slowly raised its tentacles, opened its claws, and its pupils flashed with blue light, releasing terrifying telepathy.

With the dual support of it and the steel-armored crow, it is more than enough to take the meteorite away from the forest.

Soder and Hilde, who silently watched the whole process, were stunned. Their cooperation was so smooth. How on earth did they make such a difficult thing so simple?

Speaking of which, that petite Pokémon didn't do anything. It was really acting cute.

Then the two of them found Ergui staring at them righteously, and it was also very dissatisfied that it was of no use.

However, Xia Ye said that he still had important work to complete in the future, so let’s not argue with these guys for now. He is very generous, who hasn’t seen him before?

"Look, isn't this done? It's very simple. Okay, let's leave this forest. We also need to explain to Hilde your father the request for forging a sword and shield." Xia Ye pointed to the meteorite in the sky and said.

"."

Soder and Hilde didn't want to say anything more. They only knew one thing. Xia Ye and his Pokémon were really powerful.

The scene in front of them made the originally anxious man and old man not know what words to use to describe it.

It's certainly worth celebrating that the son/young master is fine, and it's certainly worth celebrating that Xia Ye is fine, but how on earth did that meteorite iron float in the sky do it?

There are also Pokémon behind Xia Ye. There are actually three such powerful Pokémon!

What's going on with these two giant wolves? They exude such a terrifying aura. Cold sweat breaks out on the man's head. Why do Pokémon from deep in the forest come out on their own initiative!

Seeing this, Xia Ye knew that it would be impossible without explanation, and immediately told everything about them and what happened just now.

The man's expression changed many times, and finally turned into an expression of regret. It was so embarrassing that he actually regarded the legendary hero as a terrifying existence.

The old man's expression was very pleased. He never thought that the young master could actually get the guidance of the legendary hero. Your Excellency Xia Ye is a huge blessing.

However, when Xia Ye said that he commissioned men to build swords and shields for Cang Xiang and Zangmarante, his expression instantly became fanatical.

Becoming a blacksmith may have been a man's choice to escape his past, but now he really loves the craft.

Being able to forge weapons for legendary heroes, or using the long-awaited meteorite iron, was something I could never even dream of.

Seeing that the man agreed generously, Xia Ye asked the man to take charge of making the sword and shield. After all, he was a professional blacksmith.

The group of people returned to the stone house. The first instruction given by the man was to split the meteorite into two pieces. He had only come into contact with the dark metal fragments and did not know the structure and composition of the meteorite.

Since he wanted to make weapons for Cang Xiang and Zangmarante, he had to use the best parts. He wanted to test the different qualities of this meteorite metal.

After hearing the man's reasons, Cang Xiang's mouth flashed with dazzling light again, and his sharp sword slashed through the meteorite, splitting it in two instantly.

Then it waved its sword again, and several metal blocks of different colors fell from the broken section. Everyone couldn't help but admire its superb sword skills.

Zangmarante exhaled silently through his nose. He had to leave the fine work to his sister. He was only good at crushing this meteorite.

While the man felt admired, he did not forget his work. He called his partners and prepared to melt the metal using conventional heating methods.

Then he failed. Although Kati Dog evolved into Wind Speed ​​Dog and its firepower became more intense, the metal as a material was not simple. The two Pokémon tried their best to spray fire but could not melt it.

"Bonnie oh~!"

At this time, Egui Chu suddenly stood up, puffed out his chest, and looked like you were all getting out of the way, letting him come to save you.

Sod and Hilde were surprised to find that Ergui's original green mask turned into a fiery red mask. Before the two of them could react, shining crystals suddenly erupted around it.

The huge flaming mask roared and broke free from the shackles of the crystal, and even the air around it became a bit hotter.

The two of them silently wiped the sweat from their foreheads. I'm sorry. I just misunderstood your strength. I'm really sorry.

They now knew that Xia Ye had no weak Pokémon.

Upon seeing this, Ergui showed a satisfied expression, and controlled the mask to spit out hot flames. With its help, the metal finally showed signs of melting.

The two Pokémon quickly joined in, breathing out fire as much as they could to melt the metal.

At this point, the creation of swords and shields finally begins, and the man has put all his efforts into creating weapons worthy of Cang Xiang and Zangmarante.

With the help of Ergui, Xia Ye's Pokémon simply joined the process of building it.

Menas provided the cooling water, the steel-armored crow contributed his own feathers, the Thundering King Kong gorilla carried the materials, and Blimwin released his telekinesis to complete the delicate operation.

When the man made the sword and shield, he chose the strongest and toughest part of meteorite iron. He also added several different ores, such as the armor ore that Xia Ye had learned about.

"finished!"

The man yelled. On the workbench in front of him lay a sharp blue sword and a solid saffron shield.

He put a lot of thought into making the weapons match the colors of the legendary heroes.

In addition, the weapons are inlaid with golden patterns, which is a tribute to the heroes who once saved the Galar region.

Xia Ye silently looked at these two well-made weapons. They could be said to have gathered the efforts of everyone, and everyone put their best effort into helping the man build them.

Cang Xiang and Zangmarante were very satisfied with the swords and shields made by men. The weapons that people gave them back then probably went through the same process?

At this time, Xia Ye suddenly found that his figure had become illusory. It seemed that this time and space distortion was coming to an end.

He coughed lightly and waved to everyone:

"Soder, Hilde, I look forward to the day when you become heroes. I believe you will definitely fulfill your ideals!"

"Brother Xia Ye? Well, I will definitely do it!"

Hilde didn't know what happened, but he knew that if he didn't respond now, there would be no next time.

"That's so despicable, teacher, aren't you deliberately bringing shame to the name of the Cavendish family? Of course, I will definitely not live up to your expectations!" Soder shouted.

Xia Ye didn't say much and silently smiled back, because the legends of later generations have already proved your legend.

His figure disappeared from everyone's sight. When he recovered, Xia Ye found himself back at the entrance of Weimei Forest. He shook his head and said to himself:

"Okay, it's time to meet our old friends from three thousand years ago. I wonder how they sleep."
