Chapter 368: Recognizing the Ancestor and Returning to the Clan (Three in One Chapter)
In the forest.
"Just send it here. I'll go back by myself in the evening... I might even not go back, so there's no need to pick her up."
Kashiwagi turned over and climbed off Lei Gong's back, put the big-mouthed baby on the ground and said casually.
Lei Gong: "..."
I didn't say I would come to pick you up.
It didn't really want to pick up the fight, lest this guy make some unreasonable demands on the stick again, and it was enough to regret letting him get on his back this morning.
After all, I have never let anyone get on my back for a long time.
I never expected that I would break my precepts with Kashiwagi, a human brat I had known for less than a week.
"Roar!"
Lei Gong roared, and his huge body leaped high into the sky with great dexterity, spanning a distance of several meters in one step, and disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye with continuous jumps.
"This guy... could it be that the prototype is not a tiger but a kangaroo?"
Kashiwagi is a little confused as to why he chooses to run in a leap forward style.
The big-mouthed boy looked at the completely unfamiliar surroundings and pulled his trouser legs, "What?"
"About three kilometers further."
Kashiwagi pointed in the west direction. From the current perspective, the vague outline of human buildings could be faintly seen.
According to Daigo, the elderly and children account for the largest proportion of the residents of Meteor Village today. There are some young adults, but not many... If you bring a fairy-type Pokémon there, will you be considered to be in trouble?
provocative?
But today it's Big Mouth's turn, what can I do?
Not a big problem.
Unless the people of Meteor are all a group of unreasonable people, the probability of being hostile is very small, and the worst they can do is release the three evil dragons.
Kashiwagi approached Meteor Village with a very peaceful attitude.
Then--
"Hey! Who is coming!"
A short figure wearing a slightly abstract dragon-head mask and a rather rough voice suddenly jumped down from a big tree and put on a strange-looking attack posture.
Followed closely was a small blue-skinned dinosaur with a head like a silver back hair.
"Ta-ba!"
Baby Dragon shouted at the big-mouthed kid at Kashiwagi's feet.
The big-mouthed boy frowned slightly, not understanding this young dragon who seemed to have a dim head like the three evil dragons.
But in the end, it couldn't help but wonder whether these dragon-type Pokémon all had the same virtues.
Yeah?
Isn't it?
Kashiwagi next to him looked at this strangely dressed masked man and replied:
"If you insist on saying it, go back to your hometown and recognize your relatives."
"Go back to your hometown—eh? Go back to your hometown to recognize your relatives?"
The masked man suddenly froze on the spot, then took off his dragon head mask to reveal an old face full of wrinkles.
"Eh?"
Kashiwagi was also stunned.
He thought he would be a little kid for being so short, but he turned out to be an old man.
"What are you called Kashiwagi?"
The old man seemed to have heard his name. He walked up quickly and looked at his face carefully. There was a bit of disbelief in his slightly cloudy eyes.
"it's me."
Kashiwagi nodded slightly and said: "I am currently traveling to Qiuye Town, and something happened, so I came over to take a look, sorry to bother you."
"——Don't disturb! Don't disturb. How can I call you disturbing when I go home?"
The old man seemed to have confirmed something, his face bloomed with a bright smile like a chrysanthemum, and he said extremely kindly: "Good boy, thank you for your hard work along the way. Come with me quickly! Enter the village! I will take you to see the elders!"
He took Kashiwagi's hand and walked straight ahead to Meteor Village.
"Uh...thank you..."
Kashiwagi was forced to take a step forward and looked at the big-mouthed kid next to him. He felt that the old man was a little too enthusiastic.
Are all the people of Meteor so united?
Of course, it's better to have someone to guide you than to rush in confused.
Walk through lush forests.
The wide-open basin immediately came into view, and the rocky mountain where the Meteor Falls was located could be seen in the distance, but in the basin in front of you was a quiet village.
Japanese-style wooden houses are scattered everywhere, and the large and small stone statues of Rayquaza and the scale pattern on its body can be seen everywhere.
In the sky, flocks of blue cottonbirds and Tanabata bluebirds flew by with their chirping sounds, looking carefree. Occasionally, there were ultrasonic larvae and desert dragonflies, but they were relatively rare.
on the ground.
Some bare sandy areas are filled with large and small holes, which are undoubtedly ant nests created by giant-jawed ants, waiting for those who are destined to take the bait——
Although it is unlikely that such idiots exist, it is their natural habit.
On the lawn, there are many playful baby dragons and crustaceans. They occasionally look up at the blue cottonbirds and Chinese Tanabata bluebirds in the sky, showing a very longing look.
"Why haven't I seen the Tyrannosaurus..."
There's something strange about cypress.
When the old man who led the way heard this, he turned around and answered his doubts, "As for the Tyrannosaurus, most of them were taken out by their trainers. There is a custom in Meteor Village that the young dragon-type Pokémon is given to someone to train.
If it can be cultivated well or cultivated to its final form, it will be allowed to embark on the journey.
"Others went to the depths of Meteor Falls, which is their hometown and the place where they gather and breed quietly. They usually only come back at night."
The old man pointed in the direction of Meteor Falls.
"I see."
Kashiwagi nodded clearly, realizing that the model of Meteor Village was similar to that of Unova Dragon Village, both of which received the task of breeding dragon Pokémon.
It's just that Meteor Village has higher requirements, while Dragon Country does not impose any requirements on traveling.
the other side.
As the two people entered the village in a swaggering manner, they immediately attracted the attention of many Meteor people.
As Dawu said, they are generally older in age. The youngest ones look to be in their forties or fifties. They are both men and women, and they wear clothes that look very distinctive.
Someone couldn't help but shouted: "Mr. Qingliu! Who is the young man you brought?"
"He? He is the one you have been talking about before!"
The old man named Qingliu snorted, with a somewhat perverse temper, and refused to respond properly.
But the people of Meteor seemed to have gotten used to it. Some people guessed who Kashiwagi was, while others set their sights on Kashiwagi, hoping that he could introduce himself.
"Sorry to bother you, my name is Kashiwagi."
The people of Meteor were in an uproar when they got the response they wanted.
"It's the boy left outside!"
"First time in a hundred years!"
"I heard that it's a branch to develop in the Ourei area? To be honest, I've never heard of this area before..."
"Go and inform the elders quickly——"
When Old Man Qingliu saw these people who were over fifty years old becoming more and more anxious, he suddenly became a little angry. He turned to Kashiwagi and said, "Let's go! Ignore them! Let's go directly to the Dragon Temple to find the elders!"
Dragon Ancestral Hall, Dragon Ancestral Hall, is similar to those clan ancestral halls in previous lives, and is a very important place to the people of Meteor.
Outsiders are definitely not allowed in.
Kashiwagi was a little frightened when he heard that he was about to be taken there. Don't swear now that he is a member of the Meteor, and then go in and prove that he is not, and everyone will turn against each other again.
Then he would be wronged.
When Old Man Qingliu saw his uneasy expression, he thought it was because he was timid about being close to home. He couldn't help but show a generous and kind smile and patted his palm, "An Xin, the elder is very approachable and everyone welcomes you. This is
Your hometown! The resting place of your ancestors!"
"Ah...um..."
Kashiwagi nodded.
Behind him, Big Mouth followed slowly, scanning the dragon-type Pokémon around him, and basically confirmed one thing——
These guys really don't seem to have a bright head.
Would it be a normal dragon to just bump into each other when there is nothing wrong?
You want to say that training is just a matter of training. You don’t bring any attribute energy, and you stop bumping after a collision. What is this training for?
And this stuff.
The big-mouthed baby silently glanced at Pi Dian Dian, the baby dragon who was following it. The latter had made faces at its jaws more than once. It must be the one with the least clever head.
None of the three evil dragons would be like this!
The big-mouthed kid suddenly realized how much the three evil dragons deserve to be cherished... Shouldn't he usually dislike them less?
It silently began to reflect.
soon.
Under the leadership of Mr. Qingliu, Kashiwagi came to the ancient and majestic Dragon Temple. It stood there quietly like a temple, which made him feel a sense of awe in his heart for no reason.
Kashiwagi himself didn't know why this happened, but somehow felt that he should be respectful when he came here.
"Ha, it seems that you have also felt the breath of the dragon! You are already a qualified citizen of the Meteor!" The excited voice of Mr. Qingliu came over.
But before he could respond, an equally old female voice with a sense of majesty appeared.
"You can't show a calm demeanor in front of the juniors, Qingliu, you complain that the children don't respect you enough, it's purely your own fault!"
Baimu and Qingliu looked sideways, and immediately saw an old woman with gray hair tied up with a band, wearing an airtight cloak, and with a petal-like pattern under her neck.
With a relatively normal height, there is a certain solemnity lingering around her, and she looks extremely respected.
"Huh! I'm happy to!"
Old Man Qingliu muttered disdainfully, lowered his head slightly to show respect, and said proudly: "Elder, look who I brought here?"
"I know."
Elder Long responded casually, and when he looked at Kashiwagi who bowed slightly to say hello, his eyes suddenly softened and became extremely kind, "Child, come here quickly and let me see you."
Baimu approached slowly, and the Dragon Elder stretched out a slightly pale hand from under his cloak, gently touched his face, and said with a smile: "It's so nostalgic... You and uncle look exactly the same.
It’s like being carved from the same mold.”
"uncle……?"
"Yes, Uncle Longhe - your ancestor was once the most dazzling dragon trainer of the younger generation in Meteor Falls. He left Meteor Falls when I was still young and never came back. I didn't expect that he would actually
Went to the Ouray area..."
Speaking of this, Elder Dragon couldn't help but feel a little sad.
After all, the dragon and uncle she talked about have been buried in a foreign land, and even the corpses can no longer be found in the capital. The descendants of their former friends have been reduced to nothing, and their inheritance is almost cut off.
"It's good to come back. It's good to be able to come back."
Elder Long patted Kashiwagi's shoulder, his tone full of relief, "It's a pity that I don't know whether Uncle Long He is your great-grandfather or grandfather."
"..."
Kashiwagi just nodded and said nothing.
At this time, he was full of joy in his heart. Finally, there was no such bloody content. The people of Meteor were quite reliable and they really brought out his ancestors.
but.
"Elder, I have something to report to you." Kashiwagi did not forget the main reason why he came here. Seeing the other party's attentive expression, he immediately told the story that Team Rocket might be looking for a super stone mine near Meteor Falls.
After hearing this, the elder thought for a while, then turned sideways and said, "Since everyone is here, we might as well discuss this matter together."
Kashiwagi turned his head slightly, and then realized that at some point, the area around the Dragon Temple had been surrounded by groups of Meteor People and Dragon Pokémon, and they all came to join in the fun as if they were going to a market.
Even the blue sheep birds in the sky stood by the eaves and looked down curiously.
Kashiwagi: "..."
It turns out that dragon people also like to listen to gossip?
——
In a spacious tatami room open on three sides.
Kashiwagi sat very far back, with the equally ignorant big-mouthed baby in his arms. He looked at the lively people and Pokémon around him like country people who had just entered the city.
He has been greeting different people since just now. Every Meteor citizen who comes in, old or young, will introduce themselves to him.
Only now did he let him take a breath.
The Elder Dragon has disappeared since announcing the meeting, and he doesn't know what he is doing.
Mr. Qingliu was also sitting around with a group of old people who looked very familiar.
Judging from the current situation...
Don't you mean a meeting?
Why does it seem to be a party?
What does it mean to bring senbei, melon seeds, and seaweed? What does it mean to bring a bottle of wine?
It’s time to drink! It’s time to drink!
Kashiwagi and Dazuiwa slightly widened their eyes.
When he was at a loss, a chuckle suddenly sounded from beside him, "Don't be surprised, everyone is like this."
He turned his head and suddenly saw a young man with dark red hair coming next to him.
"Let me introduce you, my name is Zhenya. Congratulations on returning to your hometown."
Zhenya stretched out his hand.
Kashiwagi shook hands with him and said, "Hello, Kashiwagi."
"Hello, your name has been very popular in recent days. The uncles and uncles who went to help the Ourei area have been thinking about you and mentioned your existence to us whenever they come back."
Jinya smiled very friendly, "We have been looking forward to you getting out of the sea of suffering and returning to your hometown."
"Thank you, but now Olei is no longer a sea of suffering. It is a golden virgin land that has not yet been significantly developed." Kashiwagi changed the term "Bitter Sea" softly.
"Ah, sorry."
Seeing that he was so serious, Zhenya knew that he had made a mistake. He quickly apologized and changed the subject: "After the meeting is over, how about meeting the remaining young dragon trainers? Everyone wants to get to know you."
Kashiwagi nodded, "That's right. I'll trouble you to introduce him when the time comes."
"good!"
Zhenya left with a smile on his face.
"嘁哚?"
The big-mouthed boy who had been silent just now raised his head slightly.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that I would be so famous in Meteor Village." Kashiwagi sighed, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Elder Dragon coming over with a scroll.
When I looked back at the Meteor People, I found that they had put away their tables and snacks at some point, and were neatly arranged in four rows.
...nest grass?
Kashiwagi was complaining in his heart. During this period, the Elder Dragon came towards him holding the scroll and wanted to get up to pick it up, but was stopped by the latter with a voice.
"No, kid, just sit down."
The Dragon Elder said warmly, walked to his side, put the scroll on the ground, and then slowly spread it out into the distance.
Suddenly.
The long scroll stretched from the front to the end of the room.
The Dragon Elder took a pen from someone else and explained to Kashiwagi, "Every time a new member of the Meteor People is born, their name will be written on this scroll, and you are no exception."
Is it a ceremony to recognize ancestors and return to the clan?
Kashiwagi looked at the words on the scroll that were completely incomprehensible at first glance, and in the blink of an eye, the memory of the calligrapher kept flooding in her mind. This was among the ancient languages she studied!
It turns out that this is the language of the people of Meteor!
I saw Elder Long writing his name on the scroll in the characters of the people of Meteor, and then said: "Stretch out your hand."
Kashiwagi stretched out his hand.
Elder Long asked kindly: "Are you afraid of pain?"
"It's okay - hiss!"
A stinging pain came from his fingertips. He looked down and found that the Dragon Elder had pricked his index finger with a needle silently. The question just now was obviously to divert attention.
"Come on, child, put your fingerprints on it."
The Dragon Elder pointed below the name.
Kashiwagi raised his right hand slightly and looked forward. It was not difficult to see that there was a red fingerprint under the name on the entire scroll - he thought it was from oil paint at first.
I didn't expect it to be blood.
How can blood remain bright red for so long?
He was a little confused, but he still pressed lightly on the scroll, and immediately he saw his name light up with a light blue light, and then all the names on the entire scroll lit up.
The surrounding meteor people all showed happy expressions, clasping their hands and bowing their heads in prayer.
In an instant.
A difficult feeling came over the room.
The Chinese Valentine's Day bluebirds and green cottonbirds outside began to sing. Among them, Kashiwagi felt an inexplicable warmth in his body, as if a light was falling on him...
No.
It's not just him.
When Kashiwagi lowered his head, he found that the big-mouthed boy had a similar feeling, and the appearance of several pokeballs around his waist shone with a thin layer of light.
What on earth is this...
Ancestral technology?
"This is the blessing from the ancestors to you. Please allow me to say it again, welcome home, child!" Elder Dragon said very gently, and hugged Baimu again.
The latter was slightly startled, and also hugged the dragon elder gently, "Thank you, elder."
The ceremony of recognizing ancestors and returning to the clan ends here.
After the Elder Dragon sent the scroll back, he began to host a simple meeting to discuss how to deal with the possible arrival of Team Rocket.
As the leader who single-handedly guided the entire Meteor people to relocate outside Meteor Falls more than ten years ago, she is by no means ignorant of the outside world and will actively introduce new things from outside.
The telephone poles and signal towers in the village are proof enough.
Therefore, Elder Dragon attaches great importance to Team Rocket, a notorious organization.
"Shall we gather some clansmen back like that?"
Someone suggested.
The Dragon Elder shook his head, "That's not necessary. We just need to guard the village and keep an eye on the ancestral land. Kashiwagi said that the Champion of Hoenn will take care of other matters."
"If that's the case, then the village protection team will be sent to patrol the ancestral land recently, right?"
Another person suggested: "We have old bones like us in the village. Although the combat effectiveness is not as good as before, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a few sneaky little thieves."
"Yes! Aren't Mr. Qingliu always doing the job of guarding the gate? We can do it too!" said a relatively young Meteor citizen, probably around forty years old.
Old Man Qingliu scolded angrily, "What does guarding mean? What does guarding mean? You talk nonsense! I was just strolling outside the village! Who is guarding the gate?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The people of Meteor burst into laughter.
The atmosphere was quite relaxed, making the meeting, which was not very rigorous, more casual.
The Dragon Elder didn't seem to like the rigid model. Although she looked more solemn personally, she nodded after listening to the opinions of other Meteor people, "Then let's arrange it like this and add new tasks to the boys! The meeting is dismissed!
"
"okay!"
"Elder, don't worry!"
The people of Meteor responded one after another, packed up the peels and packaging bags, and turned around and left.
Kashiwagi also got up and walked out.
Elder Long stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, I'll find someone to arrange a place for you to rest. If you are willing, pick a better piece of land nearby, build a house and settle down."
"Uh...ok."
Kashiwagi didn't refuse, and there was no harm in having multiple houses. When he became the champion, he could come over for vacation.
Sirona also has a vacation villa in Hezhong, and Daiwu also gave his villa in Sinnoh to the player protagonist. Both of them are rich people.
Not long after.
Led by an old woman.
Kashiwagi found a quite spacious space in a Japanese-style mansion near the Dragon Temple.
The old woman said: "This is the elder's home, but the elder's son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter are all traveling, so she has been living in the Dragon Temple recently."
"Granddaughter...is she Shijana?" he asked.
"Yes, did you meet her outside?"
The old woman guessed the reason at once and said with a smile: "That child is very interested in you. He also said that he would be responsible for teaching you to become a qualified dragon trainer, and then ran out. We thought at first
It will be her who brings you back, I didn’t expect..."
"I just happened to be traveling to Qiuye Town. If something unexpected happens, I'll come over and have a look."
Kashiwagi explained politely.
"It's really hard for you to come all the way here to remind you. I will bring the meal here at noon. You can rest peacefully first, or you can go around the village." The old woman did not stay for a long time and told him that he could
After walking around casually, he left.
"call……"
He breathed out.
Every one of the people of Meteor is very kind and treats him like his own child. They say warm words and do heart-warming things.
Kashiwagi is very happy, but somewhat uncomfortable.
He poured himself a glass of water and asked the big-mouthed boy if he was thirsty. When he saw the latter shaking his head, the voice of the Meteor citizen named Zhenya whom he had met before came from outside the door.
"Kashiwagi! Are you in there?"
"I am here!"
Cypress opened the screen.
"Come on!"
Zhenya waved, "Everyone is waiting for you and wants to get to know you."
