[Pokémon] Wild baby

In an unknown forest.

Xiaoxia was staring seriously at the Elf Illustrated Book she got from Dr. Zishan. Based on the data displayed on it, she compared the records with her own elves one by one.

"water gun?"

"Moo~" nodded.

"Water fluctuations?"

"Mwu——!" He shook his body unhappily.

ten minutes later.

"Then, binding?"

""

Menas seemed to have been struck by his own incompetence and his wasted time and ignorance for many years.

His slender and graceful neck was lowered, and he stopped responding numbly.

The tentacles on the forehead twitched and trembled occasionally, revealing a bit of the owner's inner hesitation and loss.

The Ivy Snake, who was watching leisurely, raised his eyebrows and made a cry of unknown meaning: "Qingtasi~"

Should! Makes you crazy!

He was so arrogant when he first appeared, so he thought he was so powerful.

In the end, it will only hit the basic skill of water gun and splash jump.

Not to mention innate skills like Vine Whip, he had already mastered Blade Blade, Megaton Absorption, and even powerful tricks like Ye Storm before he was subdued. Most of the time, he would consciously practice and exercise according to his own situation.

As a trainer, Xiaoxia almost didn't have to worry about how to cultivate the grass elf Ivy Snake.

He crossed his arms across his chest and mocked Menas unceremoniously as his companion.

Xiaoxia, who was relieved, smiled helplessly and clapped her hands in a feigned joy: "Well - cheer up, Menas!"

"It's because you still have so many skills that you haven't mastered that it's necessary for me as a trainer to exist."

Decided to stay in this sparsely populated area with charming scenery and great location! right! It was not because she couldn't find the exit and got lost, which was such a shameful reason, but Xiaoxia, who stayed by a lake deep in the primeval forest, and her elf partners had been resting and adjusting for a while.

After all, feelings still have to be communicated.

The girl who found a high-sounding excuse for slacking off at work, giving up on herself, and finding a balance between work and rest smiled and touched the head of Menas, who raised his head but was still a little lackluster.

"Working with you, constantly learning and growing, isn't this the biggest meaning of my existence as your trainer?"

"Cheer up, partner~" she said.

"Moo"

"If you were so powerful from the beginning and could grow into a better version of yourself without me at all, wouldn't I be very disappointed as a trainer? It would hurt my self-esteem, super!"

Clench your fists to strengthen your tone.

The trainer emphasized again and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at Menas whose eyes were gradually brightening.

‘Finally this kid cheered up. ’

Well, paying attention to the emotional changes of the elf partner and adjusting and guiding it to a positive and healthy psychology are also what a qualified trainer must master.

He didn't notice the ivy snake's pupils behind him dilated for a moment.

After being revived, Menas suddenly became more clingy. Xiaoxia, who was gently wrapped around her tail, was happily praising: "Well done on this binding attack!"

"Moo~"

With his fighting spirit fully aroused, Menas, under Xiaoxia's instructions, followed Sun Coral, who is also a senior water elf, to learn foam light and liquid water rings.

The water splash produced by practicing the skill playfully splashed in the face of the trainer.

Xiaoxia, who had no choice but to evade, subconsciously called her elf partner who had been by her side since she came to the Hezhong area: "Wow! Ivy Snake, look at these two guys, they are too much."

The proud and elegant cry that I was used to long ago did not sound.

The young girl trainer, who received no response for the first time, turned around in confusion: "What's wrong, Qing--Ivy Snake?!"

The ivy snake is gone

This realization made Xiaoxia's heart suddenly twitch, and she felt uneasy.

He forced a smile to Menus and Sun Coral, who were attracted by their startled breathing, and their panic was temporarily suppressed.

We can't let these children worry too.

Calm down, Xiaoxia, you will definitely be able to find Ivy Snake and bring him back smoothly, for sure!

"It's okay, everyone, I'll leave for a while, but you can't take this opportunity to be lazy!"

Ivy Snake, why did you leave so suddenly?

What on earth are you thinking about?

"Ivy Snake!!! - Where are you!!!" Xiaoxia, who was trotting in the forest to search for her, recalled every bit of her time with her.

This elf who has always seemed extremely sensible and can provide maximum help to trainers who occasionally get confused in every aspect of life.

actually,

I don’t understand it at all.

Just like the process of surrender that was completely inexplicably smooth and confusing from the beginning, Xiaoxia, who gradually slowed down, stood under the shadow of the whirling tree.

The half-bright and dappled light completely separated the girl's thoughts from the outside world.

At that time, what was the Ivy Snake thinking?

It’s the same with choosing to follow, the same with suddenly choosing to leave, the Ivy Snake who is minding his own business and making a choice that only he understands, and the smart and wise elf who will betray his master on his own.

Do you just want to leave?

Maybe just letting him go is the best ending.

Both for her and the Ivy Snake itself.

After all, she has never fulfilled her responsibilities as a trainer to it, never

Whether it was the usual training, fighting, or the newly acquired skill - Charming, she had not helped at all from the beginning to the end.

Thinking of the previously defeated challenger's words of praise and affirmation for the Ivy Snake's adaptability, and enjoying the joy of the harvest, it was a silent loss that others could not appreciate.

but.

——The girl took steps again with a determined expression.

Even if you break up, you have to be serious in person. Why would you say goodbye without saying goodbye at such a young age? What a scumbag! Xiaoxia, who was determined to tell the truth face to face, kept calling the elf's name.

"How can it be repaired!! Let me bear the anger from the beautiful girl! Qing, Vine, Snake——"

--whispering sound!

Being dumped or something, it really makes people angry for no reason!

At least, you have to say goodbye before you say goodbye.

the other end.

After a long silence, the grass elf walked away on his own. At this time, he was in a rare confused and fragile posture - squatting in the hollow of a giant tree with his hands and knees.

The girl's trainer's always bright smile replayed in his mind from time to time.

"Green Tower"

The one that was so dazzling when I first saw it almost burned it.

‘Um, is it a leaf vine snake? ’

‘I’m sorry, Ye Vine Snake. ’

The girl who cried in embarrassment because she blamed herself for it.

‘If you were so powerful from the beginning and could grow into a better version of yourself without me at all, wouldn’t I be very disappointed as a trainer? It hurts your self-esteem, super! ’

Did I make her, Xiaoxia—feel disappointed?

Unable to come to a conclusion and unwilling to think further, the grass-type elf became anxious for a moment. The special move called Leaf Storm was so powerful that the energy of green light affected everything around him.

It's me,

Lost my trainer again?

It's really bad, as an ivy snake.

The moment he looked at a fire rock rat that was obviously furious after being hit by a leaf storm, what came to mind was the unreserved pleasure of the girl stroking the scales on Menas's tail.

‘Sure enough, the water elf is the best! ’

——Tsk, as expected, I hate water elves the most!

"Qingta!!!"

The power of Ye Baofeng was gathered again, and the Ivy Snake, whose tail was almost scorched by the flame vortex, fought back unwilling to be outdone.

It's so noisy. You're a fire-type guy favored by mainstream trainers. Do you know that you can't mess with the elf when you're in love? !
