[Pokemon] Late Autumn

The mandible ant is a little unhappy.

Heiluga was the first to discover this situation and informed Shen Qiu in time.

"Big Jaw Ant, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

The Big Jaw Ant raised his head and glanced at her, but just shook his head without saying a word and pushed aside the food handed over by Heiluga.

Late Autumn has never encountered such a situation, and there was nothing he could do for a while: "Don't you want to eat the food too? This is a bit difficult to handle."

The giant-jawed ant let out a cry and lowered its head again.

Late Qiu knelt down and gently placed his hand on the body of the ant. He checked it carefully, but found no signs of illness, fever or other abnormalities. But being depressed like this is not an option, so what exactly is wrong with the mandible ants?

Late autumn turned to Yasha for help.

"Don't, don't look at me like this. I don't know everything."

Yasha waved her hand helplessly, and squatted down to carefully check the situation of the mandible ants, "I remember it wasn't like this two days ago, right?"

"When you and Xiaozhi were fighting, I released all the elves to watch the battle. It was even eager to cheer you on."

"Yeah...and during your special training yesterday morning, I remember that the mandible ants also performed well."

"That's right...no, wait."

Shen Qiu recalled it carefully and shook his head hesitantly, "It was a bit like that at that time. It didn't look particularly happy after training. I thought it was because it had too high demands on itself and was not satisfied with its performance... But I will do it for everyone at noon. After having a delicious meal and seeing everyone enjoying themselves, I thought the matter was over."

Heiluga had been listening to the conversation between the two, and when he heard the words, he lowered his head, leaned over and asked in a low voice the real reason why the mandible ant was unhappy.

Unexpectedly, the mandible ant itself didn't know what was going on. It shook its head and felt that it was not due to training. It just felt that it was very depressed, had no interest in it, and had no appetite.

Heiluga was also a little surprised now. He could only shake his head in confusion under the curious gaze of Shen Qiu, saying that he didn't get any useful information here.

"You can ask that person."

Heiluga swung his slender tail and gently tapped Shenqiu's watch with the tip of his tail.

However, Shen Qiu made a mistake: "It's better not to trouble Mr. Daiwu with such a small matter, right? He must be very busy recently, and the alliance..."

Although she did occasionally contact Daigo on weekdays, it was limited to discussions about the current situation of the meteorite, or some interesting new research. She did find it interesting and relaxing to exchange her opinions with each other, but she always felt that she shouldn't bother Dawu with such inexplicable little things.

Heiruga wanted to roll his eyes at her.

I'm talking about Shaka! Mr. Shaka! Not the one named Daigo!

Seemingly finally understanding Heiluga's true meaning, Shen Qiu coughed uncomfortably.

"I know... Then I'll contact Mr. Xia Jia." She fiddled with her watch awkwardly, described the current situation of the mandible ants, and sent it to Xia Jia after confirming it was correct.

It's also strange, why was Daiwu the first thing that came to her mind just now?

This watch is still a precious gift given to me by Mr. Shaka...Although Daigo also helped to upgrade the functions, in this case, it is better to ask Mr. Shaka, right? !

The evolutionary form of the mandible ant is the dragon type after all.

Before she could think too much, Mr. Shaka sent her a message.

Very simple, just two words.

戦い. (fighting.)

Late Qiu still looked confused, but Yasha thought about it and seemed to figure out something.

"Big Jaw Ant, do you want to have a battle?" Shenqiu asked softly.

Although the Big Jaw Ant was wondering why he asked this question, he still nodded.

Although it is not interested in fighting, it loves fighting and will never shy away from fighting.

"Come on, I'll be your opponent." Yasha poked Shen Qiu's cheek, "I seem to understand what's going on."

...What happened? What did they understand?

The confused Late Autumn sent a depressed-looking Jaw Ant, and this time Asha sent her old friend Mag, the lava snail.

Yes, although Asha's Mag has evolved into a lava snail, her good friend Meg has not yet. She is still a cute and warm lava bug. (Although the Hoenn area does not require heating)

Yasha, who was standing on the opposite side of the field, waved her arms: "Late Qiu, Jaw Ant, just treat this as a normal battle——"

Although Mag didn't understand what was wrong with the mandible ant, it still maintained its attitude. It will not avoid fighting because of its close relationship. On the contrary, it is trying to help its good friends out of trouble.

"Spray flames!"

"sandstorm!"

The fine sand grains gathered together to form a huge wall to block the attack of the flames. The mandible ants tried to control the sand to wrap the flames away from themselves and form a sandstorm.

However, the power of Mag's flame spray should not be underestimated. After the giant mandible ant found that it seemed that it could no longer block the flames, it immediately gave up its resistance. After gritting its teeth and resisting the baptism of flames, it immediately dug a hole and hid underground.

The speed of the mandible ants is very slow, but the speed of the lava snail is not much faster.

Slowly, the lava snail found that the ground beneath it became softer. When it was surprised, the originally flat ground suddenly revealed the true appearance of the lower layer - it was the quicksand hell carefully prepared by the mandible ants!

The mandible ant has long understood the manipulation of gravel. It chooses to loosen the bottom sand first, and then move upward layer by layer. By the time the lava snail reacts, it has already fallen into the quicksand hell and cannot move.

As a lava snail with dual attributes of fire + rock, it naturally has no resistance to ground-type moves. Fortunately, its hard shell helps it withstand a lot of damage.

"Reflective wall!" Yasha responded quickly.

The existence of the reflective wall halved the physical damage Mage received, and for a while, the mandible ants had no good means of attack.

"Tread again!"

Late Qiu still chose to attack directly.

The giant-jawed ant didn't think anything of it. After raising its body high, it was about to step forward and step hard on the ground. Unexpectedly, its movements suddenly stopped at this time, and its original move was not used.

A look of patience appeared on the face of the mandible ant, which looked very painful.

Even though the Big Jaw Ant was facing away from him, Shen Qiu clearly noticed that something was wrong. Not caring about anything else, she hurriedly ran forward to check the status of the mandible ants.

"Big Jaw Ant... Big Jaw Ant! Are you okay?"

The Giant Jaw Ant did not answer the anxious Late Qiu, but gritted its teeth and tried its best to restrain something.

The familiar white light surged out from the mandible ants, making Late Qiu's eyes widen.

"Could it be..."

But then, the white light that represented evolution retracted into the body of the mandible ant.

Late Qiu had never seen such a strange scene before, and he froze in place, helpless.

"It is indeed an evolution." Yasha came over and put her hand on Shen Qiu's shoulder, but shook her head, "Although my elf has never been in the sluggish state before evolution, but now it seems that Mr. Xia Jia's judgment is correct. "

"Evolve?! But just now, the mandible ant clearly——"

"Most evolutions do not occur in battle, which represents a kind of 'instability'. Therefore, the battle also clearly states that you cannot attack the evolving elves."

Asha shook her head, "But in fact, fighting is indeed a better way to stimulate the potential of elves. Elves that are trained frequently in daily life can often burst out with greater power when evolving than elves that are not trained much. Make your evolved form more powerful."

Late Qiu didn't expect Asha to speak so eloquently, and couldn't help but look at her with novel eyes, as if she was seeing a strange Asha in front of her.

"That's what my grandpa said!" Yasha glared at her angrily, "After all, evolution is very magical, and not all elves can evolve smoothly. I can only guess what happened to your mandible ant."

Shen Qiu nodded and returned to a serious expression: "So, it has reached the edge of evolution... but chose not to evolve?"

"It's up to you to communicate specifically."

Yasha took the lava snail that successfully completed the task to the other side, leaving this wide space for Late Qiu and the others.

Hei Lujia also nodded slightly, gave Shen Qiu an encouraging look in return, and stood slightly farther away from Shen Qiu and the Big-jawed Ant.

The mandible ant seemed to know what had just happened to it and figured out the reason, but it did not dare to raise its head to look at the expression on Shen Qiu's face, choosing to lower its head and turn its back to Shen Qiu.

"I won't blame you, Big Jaw Ant." Shenqiu comforted softly, "Can you tell me your reason?"

The giant-jawed ant made an aggrieved sound, slowly turned around, and its hind legs drew a circular arc on the ground.

It shook its head slightly and rubbed its round head in Late Autumn's palm, as if it was nostalgic for this warm temperature.

"Don't you like your evolved form?" Late Qiu was not sure what the mandible ant meant, so he continued to ask.

The mandible ant paused and shook its head hesitantly.

It seems there are other reasons?

Late Qiu took out the illustrated book and showed the page about ultrasonic larvae to the ant, "Look, this is what you will look like after evolution. You are very cute and have a pair of proud wings -"

Before he finished speaking, the body of the mandible ant was already trembling slightly, as if he was very afraid of the existence of wings.

"Afraid of flying?" Shenqiu asked gently, gently stroking the round head of the giant-jawed ant.

The giant-jawed ant was silent for a moment, nodded, and then shook its head slightly.

The giant-jawed ant dug a small hole under its feet, looked down at its little work, and then looked up at the late autumn expression.

Late Qiu felt like she understood what the Big Jaw Ant meant: "I understand. Do you miss the feeling of "land" more than the "sky"? "

The mandible ant nodded vigorously.

Finally figuring out the reason, Shen Qiu finally breathed out.

As a mandible ant, it naturally has a deeper dependence on the ground under its feet, which is easy to understand. After all, as giant mandible ants that move slowly and dig holes quickly, the "ground" is their eternal home.

It is undoubtedly normal to be afraid of unfamiliar and unknown areas - after all, no one likes to suddenly break through their comfort zone, and in the future, a new life and new way of fighting will have to be formed in places that have never been touched before.

It likes the feeling of being down to earth and is not willing to abandon it all.

Thoughtful in late autumn.

It's not that she has to evolve the Giant Jaw Ant, but keeping it like this is not an option. After all, due to the "endurance evolution", the Giant Jaw Ant has become sluggish and has no appetite.

"Want to become stronger?"

This time the mandible ant nodded heavily.

It likes to fight, and also likes the feeling of getting stronger little by little. For this reason, it can continue to temper itself, which is what it has always insisted on.

"But you won't become stronger if you don't eat." Shen Qiu blinked, "Furthermore, after evolving, you can become very, very powerful. You can meet more powerful opponents and challenge more powerful enemies, even more powerful than you are now. Stronger, stronger—"

Late autumn deliberately whetted the appetite of the mandible ants, and sure enough, those big eyes were already shining brightly.

"But those guys, when they see the giant jaw ant, they will say, 'Oh, you look like this, you must not be powerful,' and then they won't fight you."

The mandible ant whined and lowered its head sadly.

(Heiluga who is eavesdropping in the distance:...)

"What's more, evolution doesn't mean we have to give up everything we have now." Shen Qiu coughed slightly, adjusted her expression, and looked directly at the Big-jawed ant, "The Big-jawed ant is still a Big-jawed ant, and it can still be very powerful. You can use the Quicksand Hell powerfully to control sandstorms and rocks. It just adds a pair of wings to help you defeat more powerful opponents."

The brown hair hung down from her ears softly, fluttering gently in the breeze, while those ruby-like eyes revealed an extremely determined gaze, with such an expression of such trust that even the giant jaw ants couldn't help but avoid her. He lowered his eyes and lowered his head, seeming to be thinking about something.

Its mind reflected on itself after becoming a sonic larva.

With strange wings, strange moves and a strange sky, it can no longer easily dig a hole to wherever it wants to go, but must use its new wings to help it fly over mountains and rivers.

"Don't be afraid, Big-jawed Ant." Late Qiu sat cross-legged on the ground, holding Big-jawed Ant in his arms, "Don't worry, I will always be with you."

The mandible ant heard the reassuring sound above its head and blinked slowly, then blinked again.

It turned its head and reluctantly emerged from her arms, staring straight at Late Autumn as if it were recording some beautiful scene through its own eyes.

It is indeed unwilling to let itself leave the ground where it has lived for so long, but the warm words and considerate care of the girl in front of it make the hard and silent heart like the earth seem to be nourished by precious rain. Under the warm sunshine and softness Little by little, it becomes softer in the drizzle.

For the first time, he felt the urge to trust her completely and without reservation.

The mandible ant finally nodded.

The next moment, magical white light emerged from the body of the mandible ant again, shining brighter and firmer than before.

The mandible ant no longer rejects its own evolution!

The soul eager to become stronger resolutely broke through the heavy body that it had always had, gave birth to a pair of beautiful green wings, and broke out of the confinement——

A light, cute, and glorious ultrasonic larva let out a long, distant cry, swaying its gorgeous rhombus-shaped wings and rhombus-shaped tail feathers, and hovered right in front of late autumn.
