This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 49 Field Study Tour in Nature Reserve (1240, first order requested!)

The Salo-Biyi Nature Reserve is located southeast of Salo City and in the northwest mountains of the Carlos region.

The mountains block the seaside city of Salo from most other places, with only two roads and some almost unrecorded mountain trails accessible.

Around Route 12, the traces of human society can still be called obvious, with several large and small towns built among them.

Once you are far away from the main road in this area, most of the areas are actually in their original natural form. There has not been much man-made development, but this is a combination of multiple areas that are not bordering each other. of large nature reserves, but despite this, there are still many truly natural areas left.

In this nature reserve, there are a large number of wild Pokémon. They grow and reproduce naturally here. They have not been deprived of their living space by the development of industrial society. Instead, under the vigorous protection of the rangers, they are protected from death. Abandoning the intrusion of Pokémon hunters and other criminals, they coexist harmoniously with humans.

Years of peaceful life have made most of the Pokémon here tend to be gentle, only a few still maintain their original wildness, especially aggressiveness.

The area where Salo Academy will carry out field study tours and practical assessments for the graduating class is Area A of this nature reserve. It is relatively close to human settlements. Pokémon are weaker and more temperamental. They will not treat newcomers There are too many hidden dangers for trainers.

Choosing to study here has also been a tradition for senior classes at Salo College for many years.

There are even many good graduates who, after studying abroad, choose to continue their studies until they become qualified rangers.

In the current nature reserve alone, there are dozens of rangers who studied at Salo College, and a considerable number of them will protect their alumni in the future.

Such a coexistence and mutual promotion relationship is one of the important cornerstones for the two sides to maintain years of cooperation and benign interaction.

-

The long and narrow team moved forward in the mountains.

The bus transporting the students stopped at the end of the mountain road.

To reach the station in Area A of the reserve, it is still necessary to trek a considerable distance on foot.

The students who were in good physical condition quickly walked to the front, looking left and right on the mountain trails, admiring the rare natural scenery in the city.

The style of the reserve is to maintain the original appearance of the environment to the greatest extent, and patrol it without affecting the habitat of wild Pokémon.

Therefore, except for some man-made roads, almost everything here is the natural and authentic style, which feasts the students' eyes.

However, this is limited to students with good physical strength.

Those with weak physical strength naturally lagged behind. It was difficult for them to even keep up with the group, let alone have any leisure time to enjoy the scenery.

Unfortunately, our Miss Ina is undoubtedly the latter.

And, what's even scarier is that she is one of the weakest of the small group and is carrying probably the heaviest luggage.

"An~tuo~wan~" Miss Ina, who was out of breath, drawled and called to her boyfriend who was right next to her, "I can't walk! Use it as a crutch for me!"

Bai Shengsheng's little hand stretched out and grabbed Antoine's arm.

"Filio and Abe have already gone to the front. We can't stay behind all the time, or should I go behind your back? It won't be so boring to catch up with them."

Antoine scratched his head, then looked at the embarrassed classmates around him, and suddenly had an idea.

"What are you thinking? So many people are watching!"

Rolling her eyes at her boyfriend, Ina said angrily, but as soon as she was halfway through her words, Antoine, who was extremely mobile, was carrying her on her back.

After a while of slapping, seeing that he had no intention of letting go, Ina blushed slightly and looked around.

Then she saw the envious looks of several little sisters who played together on weekdays.

A feeling of secret joy came to my heart.

"Go! Chase them!"

In contrast, Miss Ina, who was in a better mood, was like riding a tall horse, rushing towards the front of the team.

Along the way, the teachers responsible for maintaining order and ensuring safety could only smile wryly, and pretended not to see what they saw.

"Filio, what is this herb?"

"Ask Abe, he is an expert in this field, he understands everything."

In the middle and front section of the team, Philio was walking slowly with Dream Demon and Eevee.

The fresh air in the mountains made him and his companions happy.

After entering the real inner area of ​​the reserve, many rare wild herbs and tree fruits began to appear gradually, some of which were quite different from the pictures in the textbooks.

As a result, many students approached Filio and began to ask questions about this and that.

It is precisely because of this that there is an infinite loop of the above dialogue.

Knowing that Abe was in high spirits at the moment, he not only wanted to save himself some trouble, but also planned to give Abe a chance to express himself.

Antoine, an expert from a grass gym, is on his way with his girlfriend behind his back, and wants to chat with Filio.

Philio, the chief student of the Humanoid Encyclopedia, adheres to the principle of "asking Abe when in doubt" and is leisurely.

In this way, a large number of students gathered around Apei at the front of the line one after another, asking questions when they saw something, and asking questions when they saw that, it was so lively.

However, these problems are not a problem for Abe, who often visits mountains and rivers in search of good trees and fruits during holidays.

He was in a good mood and answered all the students' questions. From time to time, he would tell a few short stories related to medicinal materials and fruits, or about himself, or some fragments from history and legends. It was fascinating and made everyone exclaim.

The students discovered that this top student, who is always overshadowed by Philio on weekdays and is not as outgoing as Antoine, turned out to have a very shining side under his humble and introverted appearance. When he was really interested in His field attainments can also be described as profound.

Teacher Thornton took the lead and walked at the front of the team. Although he was far away, he could still hear the questions and answers and discussions clearly.

Nodding in satisfaction, he looked at the many students at the back of the line who were already struggling a bit, and slowed down his pace slightly so that everyone could catch their breath.

Teacher Hei Tiezhu is not unreasonable. On the contrary, he is quite reasonable and reasonable.

-

The base in area A of the reserve is built in a small valley.

The layout is not complicated, just like a large-scale ordinary camp.

For safety reasons, the buildings here do not use wooden structures, but choose lightweight materials that are safe and environmentally friendly.

Under the cover of organic paint, the building is in harmony with the environment. There are few traces of urban civilization and it is integrated with the natural space. Even if you walk outside, you may even miss it without looking carefully.

In front of the only two slightly taller buildings, the students took a short break and lined up neatly in class units, waiting for Thornton and the reserve staff to speak. Other teachers also worked in pairs to follow. Behind the lines of each class.

It is said to be higher, but in fact it is only four floors. It is built against the mountain. Many rooms are even within the mountain. It looks like the dormitory of the rangers.

Not long after, Thornton walked out with several capable rangers, stood on the temporary stage, and began to read out the specific rules and relevant requirements for the study tour and assessment.

Neither Thornton nor the rangers are procrastinators. It didn't take long for them to explain all aspects clearly without wasting everyone's time.

The rules are generally divided into several categories:

First, the time and space scope of study tours and assessments.The assessment starts at 4:18 on April 14th and ends at 4:27 on April 17th. During this period, all students are not allowed to leave the [-] kilometers surrounding the station (that is, close to the border of Area A). They can return to the station to live in the evening. You can camp by yourself in the wild. Most areas of the reserve are safe areas and the risk of camping is very low. Camping and staying in place for a long time are prohibited in non-safe areas.

Second, the practical form of study tours and assessments.During the whole process, because Salo College has signed relevant agreements with the protected area, as long as students do not actively damage the natural environment, they can obtain wild tree fruits on the basis of "not exceeding one-half of the total amount" , medicinal materials and other natural resources, and you can also tame wild Pokémon. All the above will be converted into assessment results in the form of points.

Third, the organizational form of study tours and assessments.According to the requirements of the Sala Academy, students can use two forms of individual exploration and team exploration. The number of team explorers should not exceed 6 people, but temporary cooperation is allowed during field exploration, and the locator carried with them will record the whole process .

Fourth, the safety guarantee of study tours and assessments.During the whole process, all students must ensure that they wear the locator provided by the official reserve for 24 hours.All the locators have been signal-enhanced. When the emergency button is pressed, an alarm will be issued. The rangers and teachers will go to the rescue immediately, and the surrounding students will also feel it.When it is more than 45 kilometers away from the station, the locator will give an alarm, and if it is more than [-] kilometers, it will sound the alarm by itself.

Fifth, and most importantly, the code of conduct requirements.Do not deliberately harm wild Pokémon, actively destroy natural resources and ecological environment, and do not attack students participating in the assessment.Violations of the above content will be severely punished depending on the severity of the situation.

When it came to safety and behavioral norms, Thornton emphasized his tone.

He also knows that students have always been a bit disapproving of these things, and if they are not emphasized, trouble may arise.

Sometimes even if you emphasize it repeatedly, you may cause some trouble.

However, at least at this time, in front of the black iron pillar-like Thornton, the vast majority of students were as honest as little quails, nodding their heads repeatedly.

After Thornton's rules were read out, the person in charge of Area A, an alumnus of Salo College many years ago, stepped forward to explain to the students how to use the locator, and arranged for patrols around them to help each student. Maps of surrounding areas and descriptions of surrounding information were distributed.

The thick manual is full of various matters summarized by the reserve over the years.

From the distribution of Pokémon populations, the situation of dangerous Pokémon, information about dominant Pokémon, to the growth conditions and illustrations of tree fruits and medicinal materials, to explanations of the surrounding natural environment and key markings of dangerous areas, it can be said that there is nothing wrong with it. big and small.

Among them, there are several wild Pokémon with high risk factors, such as the circle bear who lives alone but has an uncertain living range, the Queen Bee and the Three Bees who live in groups. When seeing these Pokémon, the reserve requires teachers to Students must evacuate immediately.

If you cannot evacuate in time, you must press the emergency button of the locator in time.

When the emergency button is pressed, it will not only sound an alarm to the surroundings, but also release a unique pheromone to calm the wild Pokémon's emotions and reduce the opponent's hostility. Although it is not omnipotent, it will also play a positive role.

However, once this happens, the assessment will also be declared over, and the students who are rescued and returned to the resident will be calculated based on their achievements at that time, and the assessment will end.

Seeing this item, a few students who were usually strong and lively, their eyes were darting around, and they obviously had some new ideas.

-

"Unexpectedly, the overlord Pokémon here will also cooperate with the reserve to maintain the natural environment and life order of the mountains."

In the temporary room of the boys' dormitory, Antoine was packing his things while chatting with Filio who was not far away.

"This is normal. The establishment of a nature reserve basically requires a tacit understanding with the powerful local wild Pokémon. After all, they generally have quasi-kings or even higher strength. If they cannot cooperate, they will appear and disappear. It poses a significant safety risk to rangers.”

Listening to Antoine's words, Abe, who was feeding Casey, interrupted.

He has a lot of travel experience and is particularly knowledgeable in this regard, and he is much better than Antoine who came from a gym.

"In fact, the original intention of establishing the nature reserve is the cooperation between humans and Pokémon. To resist natural disasters together, protect the environment and ecology together, and resist social scum like Pokémon hunters together. So, from this perspective, both parties are also A mutually beneficial and win-win relationship. Those powerful wild Pokémon have high levels of intelligence, and most of them can figure it out. I really can’t figure it out. The alliance also has dedicated strong people to deal with it. The worst thing is to capture it and release it somewhere else. .”

Filio sat calmly on the bed, and while talking, he stretched out his hand and rubbed the little heads of Dream Demon and Ibrahimovic with a relaxed expression.

The three of them, plus Ina who was in the girls' dormitory, had already decided to form a team to explore. They didn't plan to return to the dormitory during the study tour, so there was no need to tidy up here. A little packing of the boxes was enough.

"But I saw in the manual that there were some big guys with bad tempers, such as the Overlord Iron Claw Lobster. I remember it was given a five-star danger rating. If you see it, you should run away."

As he spoke, Antoine sat on the bed, picked up the thick manual again, rummaged through it, and pointed it out to Abe and Philio.

"You have to respect this kind of overlord Pokémon. If you encounter someone with a bad temper, you have to hide away as much as possible. But it doesn't matter. I have a little dream monster here, and I can avoid most dangers. Just do something awesome. battle."

After gently patting the dream monster's limp body, Filio was not worried. He had full confidence in his partner.

However, he didn't mean to risk his life by going to those places.

What he really wants to do is to train his two partners in such a natural space and get in touch with the broader "outside world".

He grew up in Salo. Although he has extensive knowledge and can be said to have read thousands of books, he is still far from being able to travel thousands of miles.

"March!"

After hearing Philio's praise, although the little dream demon was still lying lazily and had no intention of floating up, it was clear from the sound that it was very proud at this moment.

"That's right, we are not here to make a fortune anyway. Strengthening exercise and improving our strength is the key." Putting down the well-fed and drunk Casey, he took it from the hands of Flash Mongoose Zhan, who had obviously grown up, but The Vulpix still seemed to be "waiting for food", Abe said in a leisurely manner, "If we can let Casey evolve and the Vulpix can accumulate more deeply, then it will be a worthwhile trip."

Antoine pretended to sigh: "I am the same, Bricaron has just evolved, oh, the ball mushroom and the shuttlecock cotton also need to find a chance to temper and prepare for the next championship. Although I can't beat you, I also want to You need good grades, otherwise you won't be able to go to Miare University with Ina."

"Tsk, I really can't stand your sour smell."

Abe deliberately fanned his nose in order to avoid the mouthful of dog food. After thinking about it, he decided to use his trump card.

However, he was a step slower.

"Just like if Abby can't handle it, he has to go home and inherit his breeding house business that he has said so many times, right, Antoine?"

Philio beat him to it, said his lines, and complained about both of them at the same time.

"hiss--"

"hiss--"

All of a sudden, the dormitory was very lively.

"March! Madge!"

The little dream demon became interested and shouted again and again, cheering for all parties.

".Buy"

Ibrahimovic wasn't very interested, his little head rested on his short legs, he yawned big, and fell asleep.

The students who were packing up their things also stopped their work and watched with great interest the three big boys playing around in the room.

Such a scene is rare to see on weekdays.

-

In the green mountains, beside a mountain stream.

The petite figure covered with bruises could no longer walk.

Although they were all superficial injuries, pain was always tormenting him along the way.

He reluctantly squatted on the ground and drank some water. When he stood up again, he was already shaky.

"Kido!"

Shaking his head, the little guy looked at the distance behind him with a little fear. When he saw that there were no pursuers, he struggled to leave the edge of the mountain stream and stumbled into the woods.

Its brain was almost blank, and only one thought remained: run farther, run farther, and get as far away from those devils as possible.

Near it, there used to be some bustling mountains and forests, but now it seems a little secluded, and it is almost impossible to hear the movement of Pokémon.

Only a few ordinary wild animals are still moving, adding a bit of life to the place.

Nothing seems very natural.

But here is a vacuum zone between area A and area B, and even a tightly controlled protection area is difficult to detect for a while.
