He knows Pokémon better than me

"Maybe the rabbi sent me to this time and space just to let me solve the drought?"

At this moment, a bold idea has appeared in Xiaozhi's mind.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Shihui's withered, yellow and shriveled skin beside her.

Xiaozhi no longer hesitated.

Snapped!

He stood up abruptly again.

This movement stunned the grandpa and grandson next to him.

Is this a strange habit of outsiders?

...

"You two, leave the matter of the drought to me to solve!"

Xiaozhi patted his chest, and directly took this matter onto himself.

Whether it's a righteous act, or he accidentally drank up other people's precious water source, it is impossible for Xiaozhi to sit idly by.

"Oh boy, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Is the melon seed in your head really hot and dizzy?"

Mr. Bronze and Shi Hui were full of disbelief.

Three years of drought, how could a ten-year-old boy passing by be able to solve it?

"I'm 11 years old."

Xiaozhi just waved his hand.

After emphasizing his age, his face was full of confidence.

He remembered that in the legend, it was the dull beast who prayed for rain that solved the drought and saved everyone in Junipi Town.

Then the first step is to find the wild slow-witted beast and let it perform its trick of praying for rain!

Because of this time and space, Pokémon is still called Warcraft. Of course, the name of Pokémon has not been officially agreed.

"A magical beast with a pink body, a square face that looks like a hippopotamus, and a long tail..."

Xiaozhi could only describe it to the two of them in this way.

"Oh, you're talking about a pink hippo monster, but this monster is a slacker, what can it do?"

Bronze came to his senses with a dazed look on his face.

Silly beasts, to the east of their cypress village, there are many wild ones inhabiting.

Because it is too lazy, even without a big net, you can catch it home by lifting your neck.

Just mentioning this kind of Pokémon, Mr. Bronze and Shi Hui secretly looked at each other, and their expressions suddenly became weird and ugly.

"grandfather..."

"Um..."

Seeing this weird behavior, Xiao Zhi was confused, but he still said with certainty:

"Anyway, I have to find the slow-witted beast! Relying on it can solve the drought!"

Xiaozhi still believes in the history books.

Hearing this, Mr. Bronze sighed.

"Since you must use this kind of monster, then come with me..."

He didn't believe that a Pokémon like a slow-witted beast would be of any use to a drought.

But a boy who can take out a sweet ball, such an ingenious creation, may really be able to create miracles.

Some anticipation also faintly flashed in Mr. Bronze's heart.

If you can not move, who is willing to leave their hometown and abandon the whole village?

...

...

Next, the two took Xiaozhi and walked towards the interior of the wooden house.

Strangely, they didn't go out, but came to the backyard of Mr. Bronze's house.

This is a yard surrounded by bamboo raft fences, and the center point is the huge white orange fruit tree.

Xiaozhi was secretly surprised, so this big tree has a history of 350 years...?

And at the foot of the tree below, there is a Pokémon lying on its stomach.

The whole body is pink, the head of the hippopotamus is attached to the ground, behind it is a slender tail, and the pink end has turned into white.

It was a dumb beast.

It's just that this dumb beast, which Xiaozhi has seen before, has a very different appearance.

Eyes half-closed, lifeless and sickly.

The skin of the body, which should be moist and smooth, has become very dry and rough, which is a state of dehydration.

A rope is tied around its neck, and the other end is tied to a citrus fruit tree.

Domestic Pokémon in this era, unless they develop friendship with humans, are tied with ropes to prevent them from escaping.

But for the dull beast, such a move is obviously superfluous.

"Hmm..."

Before Xiaozhi said anything, there was a sound of swallowing saliva from the side.

He subconsciously turned his head, the source of the voice was the little girl Shihui.

It's just that the latter's eyes are staring at the dull beast with green eyes.

The little tongue licked his lips in a circle, as if he wanted to eat something delicious.

"Tu Hui! You can't do this!"

At this time, Mr. Bronze next to him suddenly shouted angrily, interrupting the latter's state.

It was also the first time for Xiaozhi to see Mr. Bronze, and he put on a serious and angry face.

Only then did Shi Hui come back to his senses and push out that state.

It's just that her expression became a little aggrieved.

"But grandpa...everyone else ate it..."

"Then we can't eat either!!"

Mr. Bronze just said so seriously.

Xiaozhi: "?"

The riddle man operation of the grandfather and grandson completely confused Xiaozhi...

...

Seeing the puzzled look in Xiaozhi's eyes, the stern-faced Mr. Bronze gave a wry smile, his face looking a little embarrassed.

But in the end, he still opened his mouth to tell the whole story.

"To tell you the truth...not just water, but food, we are also in short supply..."

Water is the source of life, without water, there will be no food.

Naturally.

The local villagers finally fixed their eyes on the monster.

In fact, earlier, humans ate Pokémon.

But in this era, humans and Pokémon gradually began to live in harmony.

Eating monsters has gradually become a symbol of backwardness and vulgarity.

"And the tail of the Slowly Beast, full of water, can provide a high amount of energy, and the taste is as delicious as a heavenly delicacy..."

Speaking of this, even Mr. Bronze licked his tongue quite fieryly.

And after cutting off the slow-wielding beast's tail, it only takes a week for a new one to grow.

This also led to Pokémon like Slow Beast becoming the most precious Pokémon in Hinopi Village.

Now all the wild slow beasts in the east of the village have been captured, and they are all kept in captivity by the villagers.

Relying on the craftsmanship of Warcraft Ball, the respected Mr. Bronze only got one.

The whole village took it for granted to enjoy the dull beasts.

But Mr. Bronze couldn't keep his mouth shut.

He believes that Pokémon and humans have an emotional bond.

And the bridge of fetters is not the armor of war, let alone the ropes of the backyard.

Mr. Bronze looked at the coconut ball in his hand, and at the sweet ball on Xiaozhi's waist.

This is the prop that can establish bonds between humans and Pokémon in the future!

A dumb beast whose tail has been cut off will basically lose its ability to move, and its energy will also drop significantly.

And more importantly, don't look at the time when the tail was cut, the slow-witted beast didn't respond at all.

But the slow beast, it actually has the concept of pain.

It's just that the nerves are slow, and I haven't reacted for a long time.

For example, the dumb beast evolved into a dumb beast because its tail was bitten by a big tongue shell, and the severe pain made it even stand upright with its legs.

Cut the tail, then raise it for a week and grow a new one, then cut the tail again...

Repeatedly.

This is already pathological savage behavior.

Mr. Bronze couldn't accept it, so he suppressed his hunger and didn't cut the slow beast's tail.

Because he was afraid that once he did this, he would not be able to stop.

...

Hearing this, Xiaozhi was so shocked that he was completely speechless.

In the future Juniper Town, the whole people believe in the God of Slow Beasts.

Even if he lightly stepped on the tail of the slow-witted beast, he would be kicked out of the town directly.

The result was 350 years ago.

How could their ancestors do such cruel things to the dull beasts? !

In Xiaozhi's heart, there was a chill for no reason...

...
