Pokémon that goes with the flow

Later, Ash and the Rocket trio finally got into a fight, choosing to decide the outcome through Pokémon battles.

However, to Hoshino's expectation, this duel ended very quickly. Ash's Pidgeot defeated Musashi's Arbor with just one whirlwind move.

And this cyan whirlwind didn't end there. It also sucked the Rockets trio into it and blew them into the sky together.

"What a disgusting feeling!"

As the Rocket trio's reluctant exit voice sounded, Ash once again set a new record for the fastest time to defeat the trio.

Looking at Musashi Kojiro's meow that turned into a shooting star in the sky, Hoshino blinked and couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart...

Xiaozhi has really become a lot stronger without even realizing it...

Now that Team Rocket was repelled, Xiaozhi immediately turned to look at the old man beside him.

"Now! Let's go!"

The old man looked at Team Rocket who was violently knocked away. He was so surprised that before he even had time to close his mouth, he heard the extraordinary young man calling him.

Seeing Xiaozhi's impatient expression, the old man didn't dare to say anything.

......

Hoshino, Xiaozhi and the others soon took the old man to the location of the Kirbymon. Just as Xiaozhi wanted to ask the old man to wake up the Kirbymon, the old man had already walked forward and looked towards him. Kirbymon's smile seems to be full of nostalgia...

"Kabimon, it's been so long since I last saw you and you've grown so big..." The old man sighed slowly: "Children who can sleep are the best at growing their bodies..."

Seeing that the old man seemed to know this sleeping Kirby, Xiaoxia looked at the old man with some surprise, "Grandpa, so you know this Kirby?"

"Of course I know you." The old man turned back to look at these young people, "Because it is my Pokémon..."

The old man looked at Kirby and continued to explain: "This child is very good at sleeping, and I can't carry it around, so I only wake it up once a month. But it seems that I misremembered the time this time, so I woke it up. It’s a little slower.”

After hearing the grandfather's explanation, everyone understood that the reason why the river dried up this time was actually due to an accident.

"Grandpa, do you know? Kirby sleeping here has caused the river to dry up, causing great harm to the town downstream!" Xiaozhi put his hands on his hips and explained helplessly: "So Grandpa, you It’s better to use the flute to wake up this Kirby!"

"That's it, then I have to wake it up quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man immediately took out the flute from behind and played the music he had played for Hoshino and the others.

The melodious music sounded again, and the effect was quite remarkable. Kirbymon, who had been unable to wake up before, woke up immediately.

Afterwards, Kirby, who had just woken up, scratched its belly, stretched its arms left and right, and did some kind of gymnastics to the sound of the old man's flute to stretch out its body that had become stiff from sleeping for too long.

The sound of the flute gradually stopped, and Kirby also stopped moving, wandering away from this place, but...

The water flow still has not recovered, and there is still only a thin flow of water in the river behind Kirbymon, which looks no different from the previous flow...

"How could this happen..." Xiaoxia lowered her hands in disappointment, "Why is there still only a little bit of water..."

Seeing this scene, Hoshino was dumbfounded, and then he thought of something...

yes! How could Kirby block the river? Even if you are sitting at the mouth of the river, the water should flow out from Kirbymon. The water flows downwards, and Kirbymon alone cannot stop it! ! !

After struggling for so long, all the work ended up being wasted...

"Look there!"

Just when Hoshino was still secretly worried that he hadn't even thought of such a simple question, Xiaogang seemed to have discovered something and called on everyone to take a look.

Looking in the direction Xiaogang pointed, not far away, there were a lot of denser and thicker thorns covering the river. You could see that these thin water flows out from the gaps in these thorns.

The scene in front of him made Xiaozhi break into a cold sweat in disbelief, "In other words, these thorns are the real culprits that caused the river to dry up!"

"No way! If we want to restore the water flow in the river, we have to clean up all the thorns here!" Hoshino covered his eyes and did not dare to look.

"This is impossible!" Xiaogang covered his head with a headache.

No matter the size or scale of these thorns, they are not comparable to the thorns they had cleaned up before entering the forest. It seems that they have begun to over-reproduce due to sufficient water sources.

If they really had to clean it up, they wouldn't know that it would take until the Year of the Monkey to clean it up.

Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, these thick thorns suddenly began to move. Hoshino subconsciously looked in the direction of the movement of the thorns, and saw the Kirby that had left before sitting next to the thorns, eating the thorns with big mouthfuls. I don't feel the thorns pricking my hands or my mouth at all.

Seeing Kirby eating so deliciously, the old man standing next to it nodded happily, "Come on, Kirby, since you're hungry, eat more. You must be starving after sleeping for so long, right?"

Kirby nodded, but the movements of his hands did not slow down at all, pulling the thorns to his mouth one after another.

Seeing Kirby eating thorns, Hoshino and others walked to the grandfather and asked curiously: "Grandpa, can Kirby still eat thorns?"

Hoshino looked at the wound on his finger caused by touching the thorns. Although it has healed now, the pain is still fresh in Hoshino's memory. Now seeing Kirbymon not feeling any pain, Hoshino couldn't help but sigh that Kirbymon has such a good appetite.

Hearing these children's questions, the old man laughed heartily, "Hahahaha, thorns are Kirby's favorite food. They can eat a lot in one sitting!"

Afterwards, the situation turned out to be exactly what the grandfather had said. As the Kirby beasts devoured these thorns, the thorns that originally took Hoshino and the others several hours to clear were rapidly reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the river gradually filled with water.

Seeing the clear river flowing again, Xiaozhi couldn't help but smile happily.

"Great! Then there will be water flowing in the river again!"

"That's right!" Hoshino nodded while looking at the river, "In this way, the town's water shortage problem will be solved, and the farmland can be irrigated again!"

Then, Hoshino suddenly thought of something and quickly looked up, only to find that Kirbymon and the old man had left.

The thorns will grow when the Kirby is asleep, and when the growth is excessive, it is the time when the Kirby wakes up. The hungry Kirby can just eat these overgrown thorns.

This is probably the so-called ecological balance. Although I have seen this concept in books, it is still very magical to see it with my own eyes.

Now that the river water problem has been solved, everyone quickly returned to the town and reported the good news to the elder grandfather.

The elder grandpa seemed to have been waiting for their return by the river. When he saw Hoshino, Xiaozhi and his group returning, he quickly waved to them.

"Thank you so much. Our village can finally be restored to its original state!" The elder grandpa pointed excitedly at the river, and then at the various crops on the side that had regained their vitality because they were irrigated by water again.

Seeing that the elder grandpa was still praising them, Hoshino waved his hands in embarrassment and told the elder grandpa what happened upstream, focusing on the story of Kirby eating the thorns that blocked the river.

"So, we actually didn't do anything about this matter..." Hoshino shyly held Scorpio in his arms, and then looked at the vibrant scene around him, "Even if we didn't do anything, Kirby will eat those thorns sooner or later."

"Scorpion~Scorpion~!"

"Yes, this is all thanks to Kirbymon." Xiaoxia also agreed with Hoshino's point of view.

"Hahahaha, you don't have to be so humble. If it weren't for your help, it might have been a long time before the river could flow again..." Grandpa Elder looked at Hoshino and others and suggested: "To thank you for your efforts and to celebrate the restoration of the river. , you come to my house to celebrate together, you can eat as much bread and hot soup as you like!"

"Great!" x3

"Pika pika!"

"Scorpion~Scorpion~!"
