Extra 5. 'Pokémon' cultivated by Qidao (written under the supervision of me, a book lover who serves the people)
Wubo's short legs "pattered", reflecting the blue sky and white clouds on the lake surface like a broken mirror, and every ripple stirred up the bright gold of the warm sun.
The sparkling waves and water ripples on their bodies made the Pokémon floating quietly on the lake dispel their laziness a little.
I don't know which Pokémon was playing a naughty prank, but a big stone falling into the water made the Pokémon taking a nap on the shore of the lake look sideways.
Groups of Wubo were still "pattering" until they found a series of "kind" eyes locked on them, then they blinked their big blank eyes and shook their heads repeatedly.
Like the wind blowing across the earth, blowing over the grass, and lightly skimming over the water, the ripples on the lake are getting bigger and bigger, the water splashes, and the noise breaks the tranquility of the afternoon. An exciting chase is taking place in the lake.
The prank succeeded, and enjoying the commotion caused by it, the dream demon grinned proudly.
"Snapped."
A book gently slapped Dream Demon's cute face, causing her laughter to stop abruptly.
Not wanting to retaliate and not intending to play a prank, the dream demon guiltily circled around the young man who was reading a book under the shade of a tree. Seeing that the young man did not say a word, she began to swing like a swing, trying every means to attract attention.
"Haha..." He sat upright with his back against the big tree helplessly, and reached out helplessly to touch the dream demon's illusory body, "Today I really just want to read a book."
The dream demon's cheeks suddenly swelled up, and with a swish, he disappeared without a trace.
Lu Cong looked at the Gengar Xiao Zi who was sleeping soundly next to him with his tongue hanging out. He shrugged and continued to read the book introducing the fruit in his hand - if you want to start traveling, this knowledge is necessary.
Lu Cong, 12 years old, from Shenao Qi Island.
As long as he can remember, Lu Cong has seen all kinds of Pokémon with different personalities on Qidao and Xindao, and he came to a conclusion.
Most of the Pokémon that have owners on the island are harmonious.
Apart from eating and drinking, he basically spends his days lazily sleeping, a giant blue demon comparable to the King of Evil Eaters.
Boss Cordora always brags about her glorious record with other Pokémon and rarely loses.
It likes to extend its mouthparts to suck at people, and its first choice is the hunting swallowtail butterfly of Frost Milk Fairy.
Darkrai pretended not to care, but would quietly emerge from the shadows whenever Lu Cong shouted.
He debuted as a band with Wu Song's Bronze Bell, and relied on his big mouth to bite the bronze bell to produce rhythmic rhythm.
A philo beetle who can't argue with a shuttlecock, and repeatedly experiences the cycle of being dissatisfied→challenging weaknesses→being unilaterally dealt with.
As for wild Pokémon, as long as they come into contact with owned Pokémon, they will inevitably be invaded by harmonious energy.
Since the island is home to uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters with legendary experiences, people outside will always imagine that the Pokémon here compete with each other and improve day after day, and each one has explosive strength.
I don’t know if they will feel a little bit disillusioned with the impression they have constructed of the island after seeing the daily life of these harmonious families with their own eyes.
Or maybe they should be grateful that they didn't get to witness Aunt Sirona and their casual, leisurely daily life?
Otherwise, the image of a strong man who is as majestic as a mountain and admired by countless people will collapse in an instant.
“Guh~~~~”
Xiao Zi's tongue slowly regained its vitality, twitched suddenly, and rolled it into the big mouth.
"wake up?"
"hungry?"
The two questions Lu Cong asked in succession received a nod from Xiao Zi, so a bag of Pokémon food tied to his waist was immediately spread on the grass.
Seeing Xiao Zi eating right after waking up, he couldn't help but think of the blue demon again.
She is really getting stronger and stronger.
"Help me look at Tuwang."
Xiao Zi threw the rations that Lu Cong had made for herself into her mouth, while using her mental power to sense the traces of the Earth King.
"Guh, bah...by the lake, in the mud."
Without telepathy, Lu Cong easily understood the message conveyed by Xiao Zi.
This is a talent he has had since birth.
According to the narrations of everyone on Qidao, after he was born and returned to Qidao, the entire Qidao was very lively.
The Phoenix King gives blessings.
Palkiya appeared and took a look.
Groudon and Lugia drove away the coming bad weather.
Witnessed by all the Pokémon, uncles and aunts, he turned over for the first time and grabbed the Pokémon Ball, choosing his own future.
Recalling these narratives, he would always subconsciously look at himself, a flesh-and-blood body given life by his parents, and then lament the extremely extraordinary past experiences of his parents, who showed off their affection all day long and were tired of it.
Compared to them, apart from being able to communicate with Pokémon and assisting my uncles and aunts in translating what the Pokémon said, I was pretty ordinary.
In fact, the job of translating is not irreplaceable, but it seems that everyone has deliberately improved this talent in order to cultivate his self-confidence. After all...
Anyone who can live on the island has a connection with their Pokémon.
The service Lu Cong can provide is second-level translation.
"The mud cow enters the sea." After hearing Xiao Zi's call, the Tuwang jumped into the lake with a "goo", washed away the dirty mud on his body, grinned, silly, and skipped to Lu Cong's side with a smile.
Rolling on the spot.
If it were the Swamp King, Lu Cong couldn't help but joke about "four times the damage warning", but as for the Earth King...
While the Tuwang's belly was facing up, he pounced on it, feeling the cold and slippery texture, and kept stroking his cheeks with his little hands.
The naive Tuwang was obviously used to Lu Cong doing this, and he stayed still very obediently, letting him feel the pleasure.
The Earth King from Padea was a gift from his 8th birthday, his sister Shijana, who had already become famous among trainers.
At the time, she was following the steps of scholars in Padia to study Paradox Pokémon. When she heard on a video call with Qidao that she wanted to have a playmate with Padia characteristics, she immediately started asking questions.
"I want a Pokémon. What kind of Pokémon do you want?"
The wonderful jelly-like feel of Aunt Sirona's Aplysia appeared in his mind, and Lu Cong replied: "It should feel cold and cool to the touch, and soft and bouncy."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What else?"
This time, Lu Cong's mind pictured Shuttlecock Mian's lively and lively appearance with a smile on his face and his head held high as he walked past a group of grass-type Pokémon.
"Be lively and love to laugh."
"Okay, okay, is there anything else?"
Glancing at the lucky eggs that were distributing small desserts to everyone, Lu Cong said again: "You must feel safe."
"A sense of security, no problem, is there anything else?"
“Be simple!”
Lu Cong, who has a limited vocabulary, originally wanted a gentle and honest partner, like a wind speed dog that he could sleep on all afternoon, but it was obvious that he did not realize that there would be some small differences in this statement.
...ambiguity.
So Xijana used her connections to screen out the earth king with simple characteristics, and took great pains to screen him out, and sent him to Lu Cong.
Looking at this glaring pea-sized, chocolate-colored mudworm, 8-year-old Lu Cong and him stared at each other like two armored pupae hardening in competition.
It was also from this moment that Lu Cong realized how important accurate expression was, but... the result was not bad, and Tuwang seemed... pretty good too?
Although I feel that Sister Shijana used too much force in her search, and the Earth King she found was too honest.
The fruit was snatched away and eaten by the mischievous dream monster, who grinned stupidly.
Inadvertently, Boss Cordora stepped on his big fat tail. He was stunned for a while and then let out a soft squeak, and then continued to find a place to nest.
Even if his food bowl was accidentally overturned during a sparring match between Pokémon, he would happily lick the food bowl clean while still sitting on the edge of the dusty field.
Lu Cong thought at that time that it was because he looked so stupid that he was abandoned by his original owner.
The Tuwang who had just arrived was no different than a mute. Lu Cong had never heard him speak before, and all the sounds he made were meaningless hums. Until one day, he was too playful and failed to return home in time, and accidentally bumped into a man in estrus.
Nidoking's mating grounds.
The Earth King was like a thick wall, half raising his body to block the angry attacks of a group of Nido Kings.
Lu Cong's back collar was bitten by the Tuwang, and he ran away with him in his mouth. The attack transmitted to him turned into concussive aftermath that spread all over Lu Cong's body.
After escaping from the dead and returning home, the Tuwang, who was covered in bruises and bruises, let out two symbolic groans, and then came up to lick the dirt off Lu Cong's body with his mouth slightly open - he knew that Lu Cong loved to be clean.
He's not stupid at all, he just doesn't know how to express himself in words.
It was as if my clumsy self had described it wrong to Sister Shijana.
"Comfortable?"
"Comfortable."
The Tuwang, who felt so comfortable after being caressed, grinned and responded happily.
Lu Cong is no longer the stupid kid he was when he was 8 years old. With his teachings, King Tu is no longer silent.
"I just said that this kid Lu Cong can handle it on his own. Cattleya, the superpower therapy you proposed is still too hasty."
"Wusong, didn't you also propose to take Tuwang to see a doctor to make a complete correction?"
"Hey, I was anxious because I saw you were anxious. Look, you are also anxious..."
"Squeak~~~"
After the sound of teeth grinding, Wu Song chose to shut up.
Lu Cong clearly remembered everyone's reaction after Tu Wang gradually began to speak.
Noisy, joyful, and full of a real sense of progress.
The sound of cheerful footsteps came from far away, and Lu Cong turned around. The woman in a lavender embroidered dress came to him lightly like a violet in full bloom, blowing in the wind.
When the hands hugged him from behind and his cheek touched him, he gave up struggling. Xiao Zi just glanced at him and continued to eat snacks.
"Sister Acerola."
In response to the call "Sister," Acellola rubbed Lu Cong beautifully several times: "Ah, those soft, tender cheeks."
"Is that enough? Can you let go?"
As Qidao's first love child, Lu Cong has been everyone's toy since he was a child.
Aunt Sirona likes to hold him in circles, take him riding a biting land shark and fly across the sea, feeling the sound of hunting wind passing by her ears as he breaks through the waves.
Uncle Adu is keen to hold him up to the sky and experience the charm of Pokémon aerial combat.
Aunt Kalunai often used amazing makeup techniques on him to make him become another person.
Sometimes, Lu Cong feels that he is also a Pokémon, a Pokémon that everyone on the island cultivated together...
Physical contact has long been accustomed to him, and he has adapted to this commonplace daily routine.
"It's so cold. There is someone who when he was a child, he clamored to make Sister Acerola his bride."
Everyone has a dark history, and most of it is concentrated in childhood.
The repercussions of this youthful mistake continue to reverberate, deafeningly loud every time.
"I was wrong."
"Wrong? You mean, sister Acerola is not worthy or qualified to be your bride?"
"Absolutely not!" As soon as the words came out, Lu Cong covered his head, "Ahhhhh!"
Facing Qidao's best brain, every word of Acerola can make Lu Cong, who prides himself on his good language skills, be at a loss for words.
He knew clearly that she was teasing him, but he couldn't respond calmly. Acerola had this kind of strange magic power. It's no wonder that his father said that he had taught a goblin...
"Are you thinking that Sister Acerola is a fairy?"
"..."
Lu Cong was in a cold sweat as his mind was read. He couldn't help shouting in his heart: "Brother Oonio, come and be a target, save me!"
Acellola let go of her hand, and after succeeding in the prank, she happily sat down next to Geng Gui Xiaozi, picked up a piece of ration and gave it to Dolong Baruto behind her. Seeing him eating with gusto, Acellola appreciated it.
road.
"Yes, this craft can be used to go out and make a living."
Acerola, who showed a calm smile when she was serious, was as approachable as the big sister next door, and her ability to freely switch between two faces always impressed Lu Cong.
"Going out... The Adulthood Act has been raised to the age of 14. There are still two years before I can travel far away."
"Do you dislike Qidao that much?"
"How is that possible?" Lu Cong shook his head quickly, "It's just..."
He was embarrassed and murmured.
"Just confused, right?"
Lu Cong sighed. Ever since he knew what kind of freaks the uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters around him were, he couldn't help but think about whether he was qualified to be an excellent trainer. He was always between confidence and
A state of unconfidence.
Acellola patted Tuwang: "You made a mistake."
"What?"
"A trainer should first focus on his own Pokémon, rather than on the mountain he is about to climb." Acerola said with a smile, "This is what my master taught me back then."
Lu Cong's eyes gradually brightened.
Acellola stretched out suddenly and raised the corners of her mouth.
At this age, children who start to think will inevitably become confused.
There are some things that Master says directly in his capacity as a father, and the effect is far less effective than just saying it casually.
Seeing Lu Cong's sudden surge of pride and confidence, Acerola began to wonder, how should she go back to her master at night to claim credit?
"Sister Acerola, if I want to prepare for a trip, what should I pay attention to first?"
"Attention?" Arcelora was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Then you have to choose the flying Pokémon first. It's best to choose them on the island. Master suffered a big loss at the beginning."
The fifth heavenly king of Sinnoh who could not fly is still a story that Sinnoh people talk about to this day.
