Pokemon: Pick up Eevee at the start

Hearing Lillie's request, Xia Chen was a little curious. Does this girl want to become stronger?

Although she didn't say it herself, that was undoubtedly what she meant.

He didn't think that Lillie said this just because she wanted to see him more, because the things in her eyes were very familiar to Xia Chen.

He couldn't tell what it was, maybe it was determination or something deeper. In short, Xia Chen had also seen it in the eyes of Daigo and Nimo when they fought against him.

Maybe everyone has different reasons, but essentially, Lillie is the same person as them.

"Can I ask the reason?"

Xia Chen smiled and said, "Just think of it as the test questions I gave you."

After saying that, he looked at Lillie quietly, waiting for her answer.

Although the situation was beyond Lillie's consideration, she answered Xia Chen's question without hesitation, "Because... I have a treasure that I want to protect."

Xia Chen smiled brightly.

Beneath her soft and gentle appearance, she is still the kind and strong Lillie.

Xia Chen didn't know what the treasure in Lillie's mouth was. Maybe it was a special elf, such as Little Nebula; maybe it was trying to find his missing father; or maybe it was something he didn't know.

The words were not convincing, but the eyes were. Although it was a bit cliché to say it, he saw the light in Lillie's eyes.

Looking at the girl in front of him with her long blond hair tied into a high ponytail, Xia Chen nodded lightly.

"Okay, you passed my test."

"Hey--"

Lillie seemed not to have expected that the so-called "test" could be passed so easily. She looked at Xia Chen with half surprise and half joy, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and her small mouth opened roundly.

Xia Chen smiled and said: "Why, do you think the test is not difficult enough?"

Lillie blushed and waved her hands, "No, no, I'm just too happy. Can I call you teacher from now on?"

Xia Chen was startled, "Teacher?"

This word is said to be light or heavy.

In this society, when you go out and meet older people, you have to call "Master", which makes this word seem as light as a feather, but Xia Chen knows that Lillie, a serious girl, will really treat her as a teacher.

So, do you want to accept it?

It seems pretty good too.

After just a few seconds of hesitation, Xia Chen made a decision.

"Okay, I will live in the teachers' dormitory area of ​​your school during this period of time in Alola. You can go find me there."

Lillie's tense face finally relaxed. She smiled, nodded lightly but firmly and said, "Yes, I understand, Teacher Xia Chen!"

…………

Why did you agree to Lillie?

Xia Chen couldn't quite understand his own thoughts.

Perhaps it was a natural affection for her that was supported by the memory of her previous life, or perhaps she admired this kind and strong girl from the bottom of her heart, or perhaps she felt a little guilty about "using" Lillie to get close to her mother.

In short, Xia Chen accepted his first student in name.

There was no grand apprenticeship ceremony, and the process was even a bit childish, but Xia Chen knew that Lillie would take it seriously, and so did he himself.

After dinner, the three of them parted.

Before leaving, Xia Chen left Lillie his phone number and address, and Lillie nodded solemnly and wrote it down.

The two girls watched Xia Chen and Menas disappear from the skyline, and then began to whisper among their best friends.

"Ah, Lillie, you are so cunning, you actually became Master Pigeon's student!"

Shui Lian waved Lillie's arm again, her tone half envious and half jealous, "Obviously I was here first!"

Lillie didn't follow her lead this time, and said firmly: "It's not like you can only have one student. You can also talk to Teacher Xia Chen."

"Hmph, Teacher Xia Chen will change his name now."

Shui Lian felt a little sour, but did not continue to dwell on this topic.

Because she actually knew very well in her heart that she couldn't muster up the courage like Lillie.

Although anyone could say that there was a treasure they wanted to protect, Xia Chen would never accept Lillie for this reason.

Shui Lian is a girl with a delicate mind. She could clearly see the admiration in Xia Chen's eyes when he looked at Lillie just now, as well as the hint of complexity.

"So, Xia Chen is willing to be your teacher just because you are Lillie, nothing more."

she whispered softly.

"Ah, Shui Lian, what did you say?"

This quiet girl's voice was soft to begin with, and she couldn't even hear the words she just said clearly. Lillie rubbed her face and asked.

"It's nothing, I'm here to cheer you up."

Shui Lian calmed down and stretched out her hand to pinch it back, not to be outdone.

In the evening, the orange sunset in the sky looked like it was dripping with blood. The two girls regained their former vitality, laughing and sticking together.

The beauty seems to blend into a painting with the beautiful surrounding scenery.

…………

Although it was only seven o'clock at night, the moon was already hanging proudly in the blue sky.

The initial heat of the summer night has not yet subsided, and only the wind blowing from the sea can bring a hint of coolness.

After Xia Chen and Lillie Water Lotus parted ways, they didn't rush home. Instead, they wandered around Melemele Island.

This place is much larger than Xia Chen imagined. It is naturally incomparable with the vast land of Donghuang. But sitting on Menas floating in the air and looking down, it would take at least nearly a thousand meters to take in the entire island. fundus.

He suddenly remembered that the Vulcan Moth said that the powerful Evil Eater King could swallow the entire island in one bite. If it was Melemele Island, he shouldn't be able to do that, right?

After imagining a giant beast swallowing an island of tens of thousands of square kilometers in one go, Xia Chen shook his head with a dumb smile. Sure enough, that was not possible, and it was not Tai Le Bagos.

The terrain of Melemele Island is relatively complex. In the northeast is a high mountain with an altitude of nearly 2,000 meters, and in the northwest is a dormant volcano.

The southern plain is an area with relatively frequent human activities and is also the prosperous area of ​​Alola. Haola City, where Xia Chen is located, is located on the southeast coast.

Speaking of which, after traveling to so many places, Xia Chen has never been to a volcano, not even the famous Chimney Mountain in the Fengyuan region.

Driven by curiosity, he asked Menas to fly towards the volcano in the northwest called "Fenglin Volcano" - a dormant volcano with a very Eastern and strange name.

There is a city at the foot of the volcano, called Fenglai City. It is not large in scale. It is not even a town in Donghuang. It can only be called a village at best.

However, in Alola, which has a sparse local population, Fenglai City can be regarded as the top "big city" outside Hau'ola City.

The city's main industries are planting and tourism. Large areas of tree orchards are scattered throughout the city, making the buildings there seem to be rare.

Xia Chen first looked down from a high place. The land near the foot of the volcano showed a very worrying burnt black color, like the traces of a forest fire.

Has this volcano ever erupted?

Xia Chen thought this curiously, but felt something was wrong. The traces of a volcanic eruption shouldn't be like this. It must be just an ordinary volcano, right?

Without settling in the city, he just took a look and then boarded the spectacular Fenglin Volcano.

It is said to be a dormant volcano, but the whole mountain looks very quiet.

After asking Rotom on the phone, Xia Chen understood that the so-called dormant volcanoes refer to volcanoes that have erupted in the past and may erupt again.

Perhaps that eruption occurred hundreds of years ago, and there is almost no possibility of an eruption in the near future.

Fenglin volcano is such a dormant volcano.

Because of this, the elves living in the mountains are no different from those in ordinary mountains and forests. The elves that can be seen everywhere in Alola such as the domestic bird Xiao Du'er, the flower healing ring and the orchid mantis are all distributed here.

…………

"Speaking of which, which elf is the overlord of this place?"

Xia Chen said to himself.

The Overlord Elf is a phenomenon unique to Alola. This Elf is extremely large compared to the same kind, and its whole body is covered with a special aura. When fighting with it, it will call its partners to provide support.

In reality, the overlord elf in Alola is often the only one in an area, and the other elves in this area are all subordinate to it, a bit like a tribe.

Of course, the Overlord Elf is also the most powerful one in this area.

It had been two days since he arrived in Alola, and Xia Chen had yet to meet the legendary overlord elf.

It suddenly occurred to him that he was a little curious.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the mountains looked bleak without artificial light sources. Seeing that it was still early, Xia Chen started walking around here.

Perhaps because of the sparse population, the elves here are more wild than those in Donghuang.

Xia Chen walked slowly for half an hour, and many elves took the initiative to challenge Xia Chen out of mischief or provocation.

Xia Chen didn't even let Xianbu and Menas take action, Xia Chen himself dealt with these guys who were no more than amateur elites.

The defeated elves all looked in disbelief - did they lose to a human?

The news, which was half an anecdote and half a horror story, spread like wildfire in the elf circles of this volcano. Although it was not spread through the Internet, it was spread by word of mouth. Soon, all the elves on the mountain knew about this place. Here comes a devilish muscular man.

Xia Chen didn't care. Instead, after "communicating" with these elves, he told them what he wanted to meet with the overlord elves, hoping that they could convey it to them.

While admiring the scenery along the way, Xia Chen walked towards the top of the mountain like a master.

He had a hunch that the overlord elf would live in a high place.

But before he reached the halfway point, when he reached the mountainside, a group of elves stopped him. The leader was an old man dragon who looked ordinary except that he was a little bigger——

This general dragon-type elf is also a characteristic elf that mainly lives in the Alola region. It looks a bit like a brachiosaurus from the dinosaur era of the previous life.

They are large in size and have a gentle and affectionate personality. They are one of the few friendly elves who are willing to actively communicate with humans and take care of them.

The old man dragon in front of me is five meters tall, more than one meter larger than an ordinary individual, but other than that, there is nothing special about it.

…………

"So, you are the overlord elf of this mountain?"

Xia Chen asked while touching his chin to observe it.

The old man nodded slowly, as slowly as the sloth in Zootopia.

And when it opened its mouth, Xia Chen realized that not only did this guy move like him, but his tone of voice was also somewhat similar.

"Mapa——(Yes, human, I belong to this volcano. Overlord Elf, what do you want from me?)"

A simple sentence would take an impatient person three to five seconds to finish, but it took Old Man Long half a minute.

Xia Chen held up his forehead. He really didn't know whether this guy was too old or because this kind of elf was born like this.

Fortunately, this did not affect the communication between the two parties. Xia Chen said: "I am a tourist visiting Alola. I came here this time to meet the overlord elves here, but with all due respect, you don't look much like the overlord elves." .”

The so-called overlord elf does not just need to be big enough, the most important thing is "aura", although this thing sounds a bit metaphysical.

Xia Chen can probably be understood as a simplified version of the "aura field" possessed by legendary elves such as Guluton and Deoxys.

Anyway, this old man dragon looks a bit too ordinary.

The old manlong didn't refute. It raised its eyebrows slowly and took several seconds to make a surprised expression.

Then he spoke in a torturously slow tone: "Mapa——(human being, can you understand the language of our elves?)"

Xia Chen nodded helplessly, "Okay, this is one of my specialties, so let's openly announce some of it, okay? Please introduce me to your overlord elves. I don't mean any harm."

Old Man Long said slowly: "Mapa——(Don't worry yet.)"

Damn it, your feature is slow start. Can I not be in a hurry when you talk like this?

Xia Chen finally understood the mood of Officer Rabbit in Crazy Animal City. He no longer cared about politeness, and patiently interjected: "Okay, okay, I'm not in a hurry. Can you let me meet the overlord elf?"

The old man opened his mouth and said, "Mapa——(You see you are anxious again. I told you that I am the overlord elf in this area. Why don't you believe it?"

Xia Chen looked blank and decided to give up communicating with Old Man Long.

Glancing at the elves following it, they all yawned listlessly. One of the elves squatting on the head of the Orangutan even fell asleep standing up!

Sure enough, even they couldn't stand the way Old Wenglong talked!

However, none of these guys were honest, insisting that Old Man Long was their leader.

Even if Xia Chen used energy cubes as temptation and reward, no elf would betray him.

This aroused Xia Chen's curiosity. Originally, he just suddenly thought of this matter, and then he started to look for the overlord elf.

Now he was at odds with this overlord elf, and he was determined to figure out the twists and turns.

But no matter what, I must be confused tonight.

Xia Chen decided to rest for one night in Fenglai City at the foot of the mountain and come back the next day.

And just as he was flying down the mountain on Menus, on the top of the mountain, an elf silently stared at Xia Chen's back, which was so small that it was almost invisible.

The bright clear light poured down, reflecting its pure white hair as if it were glowing.

If Xia Chen saw this scene, he would definitely shout excitedly——

I'm super! Flash Zeraora!
