After accepting the holographic image communicator given to him by Fradali, the two of them said goodbye with their own thoughts.
In a sense, they all achieved their goals.
Vladali succeeded in recruiting Xia Chen to join the team, and Xia Chen also successfully avoided the trouble of conflict with the Flare Team, and by the way, he also obtained another protective umbrella in the Kalos region.
As for the first one, it is naturally the Bratano Institute, which represents the will of the Carlos Alliance.
Xia Chen hummed with satisfaction in his heart. He had only been in Carlos for one day, and he had already eaten both black and white.
Strategies are made in nature, and clever hands come by chance!
Because he had just slept for four hours in the afternoon, Xia Chen was not very sleepy at this time.
Turning over the map, Xia Chen began to plan his journey for the next six months.
Similar to the game, the important cities in the Carlos region in the real world are also centered on Miare City and radiate outwards, forming a five-pointed star shape.
But compared to the limited map in the game, the real world is much larger.
If Xia Chen chooses to ride a bicycle, it will take three or four days to travel from Miare City to the nearest Aroma City or Haiyi City.
Not only are there inaccessible natural landscapes along the way, but there are also less prosperous human gathering places such as small towns or villages.
After thinking for a while, Xia Chen decided to go all the way north——
First go to Aromatherapy City and Aromatherapy Girl Face Base, then go southeast along Route 15, traveling around the northeastern mountains of the Kalos region.
Then depending on the situation, we should continue to go south or go west to the coastline of Carlos.
First, there are more cities in the east and the landforms are richer than in the west.
The second point is that the Albi Mountains in the northeast is the place where Xerneas awakens.
Although he knew it was somewhat unrealistic, Xia Chen still had the thought that there might be some adventure that would be beneficial to Ibrahimovic and Lalulas.
Xia Chen had been chatting with Fradali until a relatively late time and planned the route. It was almost past twelve o'clock.
The prism tower outside the window still exudes psychedelic soft light. Xia Chen spent his first night in the Kalos region with Ibrahimovic and Lalulas in his arms.
…………
The next morning.
"Hello, Mr. Xia Chen, this is a gift from Mr. Fradali. He left Miare City today due to some matters and could not see you off, so let me convey to you that I wish you a pleasant journey."
A woman with short purple hair and purple lipstick stood in front of the room door and handed Xia Chen a square box.
The woman was not wearing the orange-red uniform of Team Flare, but looking at her striking appearance, Xia Chen recognized that she was Claire, one of the core members of Team Flare.
Xia Chen was a little surprised that Fradali directly sent cadres to deliver things to him.
After all, ordinary team members can do the errands, and Claire's arrival fully demonstrates how much Fradali values him.
Winning people's hearts is indeed the basic skill of all major villains.
Xia Chen took the box naturally and asked, "Thank you very much. What's inside?"
Claire, who was wearing fashionable makeup, smiled mysteriously, "They are small items that are not worth mentioning, developed by our Fradali Laboratory, but they are all things that can make the world a better place. Each item comes with an instruction manual." , I won’t go into details.”
Is "making the world a better place" your team's mantra?
Xia Chen complained in his heart and expressed his gratitude, "Then thank Fradali for me, and thank you for sending these things specially."
Claire covered her mouth and chuckled, "What a cute little guy. Bringing you in is the wisest decision the boss has made this year."
Xia Chen twitched the corner of his mouth. It's only been three days this year. This sentence shouldn't be considered a compliment, right?
…………
"Portable tent, sleeping bag, retractable bicycle, automatic stove, storage ball"
After sending Claire away, Xia Chen returned to the room to study the gifts Fradali had sent, and found that they were exactly as Claire described, and they were all things that would make traveling more convenient.
These things seem to be made of the same material, which is very light but very strong, a bit like a reinforced version of carbon fiber.
Although I don’t understand why these things can be packed in a box that is not too big, Xia Chen has experienced the black technology of the elf world in the animation.
Compared with the outrageous inventions of Citron and Team Rocket, it is not difficult to accept these technologies that are not too dark.
After all, Fradali is really a warm man. These things are exactly what Xia Chen needs most when he is about to embark on a journey.
Especially this storage ball, which looks similar to a Poke Ball, can hold nearly four cubic meters of objects, eliminating a lot of troublesome chores on the road.
So after lunch, like going out to buy groceries, Xia Chen officially started his trip in the Carlos area on the high-tech bicycle sent by Fradali.
Heading north along Route 14, Xia Chen was getting further and further away from the bustling city of Miare behind him. When he stopped the car for the first time to drink water and rest, looking back, only the faint outline of the entire reinforced concrete city remained. .
The surrounding landscape has almost no trace of human activity.
This is the characteristic of the elf world. Perhaps it is the experience of coexistence left over thousands of years. Although there is no clear dividing line between human settlements and elf settlements, they maintain their respective living spaces tacitly.
Of course, most wild elves are strong-willed. If the trainer who comes to venture into the wild is strong enough to defeat it, it will not mind following the trainer on the road to becoming stronger together.
Xia Chen originally had no plan to capture a specific elf on this trip, but he and the doctor agreed that he would send him six wild elves every month through the elf transmission machine at the elf center.
It's probably the KPI of my job.
Looking at a weak elf slowly crawling in the grass, Xia Chen fell into deep thought.
If I send six white butterfly bugs to the doctor next month, I don’t know if he will be angry.
After all, Xia Chen was not in a hurry to catch elves at the beginning of the trip. After a brief rest, he continued to ride his bicycle and drive north along the road.
…………
"The power of science is so great!"
Xia Chen couldn't help but sigh as he watched a Rubik's Cube-like metal cube slowly unfold in front of him into a precision stove half a person tall.
After riding all morning, the sun was high in the sky and it was time to eat.
Xia Chen followed the map and found the lakeside called Jinghu Lake to rest and cook.
This place is a little far away from Route 14, but it is a relatively famous attraction in the Carlos area. As a collector, Xia Chen will naturally not miss the opportunity to visit the attractions.
After putting Menas, who had not taken out the elf ball to breathe all morning, into the lake, Xia Chen warned, "Come back for dinner in half an hour."
"Fuwu!" Menas, who had not swam in the wide waters for several days, readily agreed, then turned around and plunged into the lake excitedly.
Ibrahimovic silently circled the high-tech stove twice. She knew that Fradali had huge ambitions under his loving appearance, and she still had to carefully check the things he sent before she felt at ease.
"Ibrahimovic, I'm going to cook. Keep an eye on Sister Lalulas, don't let her be bullied by the wild elves."
Ibrahimovic turned his head and glanced at La Lulas who was chasing the pink butterfly, and curled his lips. He was so childish.
However, the next second, La Lulas, who couldn't catch up with Cai Pink Butterfly, became angry, and shot out a beam of telekinesis. Cai Pink Butterfly, who was still laughing at La Lulas just now, flapped its wings in vain, but was still pulled back by the powerful telekinesis.
"Lalu~ (Wouldn't it be nice if you just let me see it earlier~)"
With two small white hands, she pressed the wings of the pink butterfly. After getting her wish, Lalulas put a light smile on her face and observed the beautiful lines on the wings of the pink butterfly.
Ibrahimovic: "."
Why does La Lulas, who grew up under the eyes of Xia Chen and himself, feel a little bit violent?
With this momentum and these neat movements, she wouldn't believe it if La Lulas hadn't defeated hundreds of elves!
…………
Half an hour later.
Xia Chen discovered that before cooking, there were only four mouths waiting for food, but after cooking, there were two more mouths for eating.
One is the Caipindie friend that La Lulas has just made, but this friend seems to be a bit timid and timid, and for some reason, he thinks he has been wronged in some way.
The other one was a cherry blossom fish that came ashore with Menas, stalking closely behind Menas.
Menas impatiently slapped her with his tail to drive her away, but Sakura Fish was not angry at all, and her pink body looked even more conspicuous.
It seems a bit masochistic.
Xia Chen was speechless. Although you two are indeed from the same egg group, there is a huge body size gap between you.
A kid driving a big car?
In short, on the first day of traveling, Xia Chen conquered two elves and completed one-third of the month's tasks just by stopping for a meal.
Fortunately, the size and appetite of these two elves are not particularly large, and Xia Chen's current food reserves can completely withstand them.
The sun is bright and everything is peaceful.
The boundless blue lake surface is almost integrated with the sky in the distance, making it difficult to tell which is the sky and which is the water.
Maybe this is the origin of the name Mirror Lake?
After eating, Xia Chen lay leisurely on the grass on the shore of the lake, staring at the beautiful scenery of water and sky in a daze.
The cherry blossom fish swam closely behind Menas in the lake, while Larulas and her new timid friend were playing nearby.
Ibrahimovic lay next to him and looked into the distance for a while, and then secretly looked at himself, not knowing what he was thinking.
Maybe it was because the sun was so bright that I fell asleep cuddling up to myself after a while.
Xia Chen suddenly wanted to take out his phone and take pictures of everything in front of him.
Just do it!
I secretly photographed Menas in the lake who was troubled by having too high a charm value, Lalulas catching a pink butterfly on the grass, and Eevee curled up into a ball sleeping next to her.
Xia Chen posted the first update of the new year on the p station.
"They may never be as carefree as they are today, so of course they must be recorded."
"2023.01.04, in the Carlos area, Mirror Lake."
