Xia Chen suddenly felt that the winter night wind in northern Carlos was a bit cold, which made Miss Ma Xiu's face turn red from the cold.
Seeing the pajamas she was wearing that were definitely not thick, Xia Chen felt a little moved.
Presumably, as soon as she received his message, she rushed over without even having time to change her clothes, right?
Thinking like this, Xia Chen shook his head, "It would be too troublesome for you to fly over to pick her up tomorrow."
He unzipped the tent and said in a warm voice: "And if you go back like this, you will definitely catch a cold tomorrow. Let's rest here for the night."
"嘁哚!"
The big-mouthed boy frowned and looked at Xia Chen. What does this mean?
I ran back over a hundred kilometers in a few hours, which was not enough to warm me up!
And you look down on my trainer too much, right?
Her daily training intensity is not low, and her body is in great shape. What does a little temperature mean?
Stop looking down on others!
The competitive big-mouthed boy looked up at Ma Xiu expectantly.
Quick, reject him!
The aromatherapy girl's body trembled slightly, as if she was really unbearable by the cold wind of winter night. She blushed and said softly: "Well...it's a bit cold tonight. In that case, I won't bother you." .”
She looked down at the confused Big Mouth Boy and said with a smile: "Big Mouth Boy, I'll leave it to you and the Magic Wall Doll tonight."
The big-mouthed kid nodded in confusion, "嘁...嘁哚?"
The Magic Wall Doll looked disdainfully at the big-mouthed kid who didn't understand the trainer's thoughts at all, and shouted back: "Yeah!"
…………
Said to be a tent, this thing is actually more like a small yurt.
The tent, which also belongs to Fradali’s travel kit, is also full of black technology.
A battery condensed to the size of half a brick supplies all the power in this spacious tent covering more than ten square meters.
After boiling a pot of hot water, taking out some frozen ingredients and stewing curry in a pot, Xia Chen, Ma Xiu, Yin Bu, and other elves sat around on the heated carpet, waiting for dinner.
Although it can't be regarded as surviving a disaster, tonight's experience is indeed thrilling. Xia Chen held hot tea and thanked her again: "I'm so lucky to have you tonight, Miss Ma Xiu."
"You're welcome. After all, you are... my important partner."
Miss Ma Xiu felt that tonight's progress was fast enough, so she paused for a while while Xianbu was anxious to get straight to the point.
"But it's a blessing in disguise that you have conquered such a unique Zoroa."
She looked at the little pink-furred fox huddled in Xia Chen's arms and jockeying for territory with Yin Bu, and chuckled, "Come to think of it, your arms are so crowded that I can barely fit them in."
La Lulas, who was sitting on Xia Chen's shoulder, glanced down. She didn't feel any envy, but just hummed in her heart.
Win, win, win...even if you win, you will lose everything in the end!
Winning first does not count as winning, the one who laughs last is the big winner.
When I evolve into Gardevoir...
…………
Xia Chen held down the two restless little guys in his arms with a bowl of water, and scolded: "Why are you crowded in such a big place? You are all my elves, can't you coexist peacefully?"
The demeanor of the head of the family shocked the old and new elves. Yin Bu and Zoroa looked at each other, snorted coldly, and stopped moving for the time being.
Ma Xiu always felt that the scene in front of her was a little strange, but she didn't know where the blame lay. She drank water silently and said nothing.
After adjusting his knotted wings, Xia Chen raised his head and asked, "By the way, Miss Ma Xiu, you are well-informed. Have you ever seen Soraya's situation today in any ancient books?"
Although he is a time traveler who possesses a lot of knowledge that only he knows, Xia Chen has never underestimated the people of this world.
After all, the knowledge he has only comes from game animations, and this is a real elf world. It is normal for there to be a lot of information that he does not know.
However, Ma Xiu also shook his head and frowned: "I have been thinking about this issue since Zoroa was resurrected, but I still can't find anything that can explain this phenomenon. Of course, it may be that my knowledge reserve is not enough. reason."
She suddenly asked: "If you are a scholar of Dr. Buratano's level, you may have clues. Are you going to tell them?"
Xia Chen looked down at the little fox and thought for a while, then replied: "I think... try not to expose Soraya first, or wait a little longer."
Ma Xiu nodded thoughtfully, "That's right. This Zoroa is much rarer than your different-colored Lalulas, and it may indeed be coveted by others."
Xia Chen said softly: "More importantly, if we let them study it, how the ghost Zoroa was born will be known to outsiders. I'm afraid some people will do crazy things for profit."
Ma Xiu was shocked. She didn't think so carefully, but Xia Chen's words were not unreasonable.
As a gym leader and one of the top leaders of the alliance, she naturally knows that this world has its dark side, and there are even rumors that some top leaders of the alliance are also dirty with it...
If you think about it, the fewer people who know the secret of Zoroa's birth, the better.
So even if it is claimed that this is a newly discovered regional form, it cannot expose what is happening in the abandoned hotel today.
This horrifying conjecture made Ma Xiu a little silent. The only sound in the quiet tent was the sound of curry bubbling in the pot.
The steam is filling the air and the aroma is tantalizing.
Xia Chen tasted a piece of beef and said with a smile: "Okay, don't think so much, let's eat first."
…………
It's quiet at night.
Soraya suddenly opened his eyes, turned to look at Xia Chen and Yin Bu who were sleeping soundly, and estimated the time in his mind.
It's been three hours and it's still dark. Even if he disappears, he probably won't be found...
With a thought, she was in that mysterious space again. Four or five hours had passed in the outside world, but everything here seemed to have not changed, and the fruits were as fresh as ever.
It seems that this place and the real world should travel independently, Soraya thought as he swallowed the blue fruit.
His consciousness was suddenly disconnected. He didn't know how much time had passed, and he didn't know what he had experienced. Soraya opened his eyes again and found that he was already in a desolate place that did not distinguish between day and night.
The sky was gray, without sun, moon or clouds, and was as clean as a piece of paper.
The ground was even more barren. Except for a few weeds and a few unknown trees, it was so empty that there wasn't even a ghost.
No, there are still ghosts.
At the end of his sight, something like a transparent air ball was floating hesitantly. Because it was a little far away, Soraya couldn't see it clearly.
This is...the soul of an elf after death?
Soraya, who had just arrived, didn't know what this thing was. She just wanted to cautiously get closer and take a closer look, but found that this local resident of the spirit world had also seen her and rushed towards her, wanting to give her a warm hug.
Soraya immediately responded with a shadow ball as a greeting gift.
This soul didn't seem to have any intelligence. Facing Zoroa's shadow ball, it didn't dodge and bumped into it blankly.
Then...it was transcended by physics.
Looking at the air mass melting like ice and snow, Zoroa saw for the first time what it means to be out of breath.
And, as expected, a soul fragment fell to the ground.
Compared to the first soul fragment dropped by the crystal lantern fire spirit, this light group is far inferior to that piece in terms of size, color and attractiveness.
Soraya was not surprised. She had already guessed this. The strength of the soul fragment was directly proportional to the elf's strength during his lifetime.
Presumably the time that this soul fragment can be redeemed is only ten minutes at most, right?
His consciousness returned to the space and he placed the fragments inside. Zoroa immediately set out to search for other lonely ghosts in this desolate land.
Every minute in the spirit world is precious and cannot be wasted.
…………
Three hours later, Soraya sat on the ground in the mysterious space and poured all the soul fragments obtained from this expedition into the branch that represented the "Gate to the Spiritual World".
The branches blossomed and bore fruit quickly like last time, and a heavy blue fruit hung on the branch.
This time, it was four hours.
Did you only make an hour? Soraya sighed, but was not discouraged.
She understands that as long as she is stronger, she can run faster, transcend more, and even challenge stronger enemies.
Recalling the seemingly endless world, where there seemed to be mountains and seas from a distance, Soraya understood that all this was just the beginning.
The endless distance and countless souls are waiting to be explored.
When his consciousness returned to reality, Zoroa glanced at the alarm clock in the tent. The hands had not changed at all from before he entered the spiritual world.
It seems that the two worlds are indeed relatively independent.
Soraya breathed a sigh of relief when he realized this.
This is not only much more convenient, as there is no need to stay up late to go to the spirit world, but it also means that I can have a lot more time to experience and grow than Yin Bu and the others.
Turning his head and glancing at Yin Bu, who was sleeping and lying on Xia Chen's face, turning into a facehugger, Soraya snorted silently.
Let me give you a head start for a while. With this space and the ability to grab soul fragments, it won’t take long for me to overtake you!
Xia Chen's arms can only be reserved for me!
…………
Xia Chen had a nightmare.
In the nightmare, he entered a place with thin air. At first, he could barely breathe. Later, it became more and more difficult to breathe, as if someone was strangling his neck.
Just before he was about to suffocate to death, he finally woke up.
Then I understood why I had such a nightmare...
Yin Bu and Soraya each occupied half of his face, and he almost unlocked the achievement of being the first trainer to be suffocated to death by his own elf.
Pulling them apart angrily, Xia Chen got up from his sleeping bag.
Looking out from the transparent film of the tent, the genius was dimly lit, and inside the tent, Miss Ma Xiu was already preparing breakfast.
Wearing pajamas, her back was turned to Xia Chen, her long hair draped behind her like a waterfall. With the faint aroma of food entering her nose, Xia Chen almost fell.
Of course, it was just a close call.
Xia Chen slapped himself hard, reciting that famous saying silently in his heart.
Those who want to reach the top of Pokémon should not fall in love!
After yesterday's incident, Xia Chen also set a goal for himself. Before his strength reaches the king level and he can barely protect himself in this world, he must focus on improving his strength!
There is no woman in my heart, fighting against the God of Nature!
Xia Chen's surprise attack of high fives disturbed Ma Xiu who was making breakfast. She looked back at Xia Chen, her eyes full of warmth like water and like the warm winter sun outside the window.
Miss Ma Xiu in wife mode said softly: "You wake up, there is hot water over there, towels and toothbrushes are ready, breakfast will be ready soon."
Who can withstand this?
Xia Chen, who had just set his ambition, broke through his defense in one second.
But his strong will still made him wake up...
Even if you can't stand it, you have to stand up for me!
Facing such a master can hone my rock-like will!
…
After breakfast, the sun rises slowly and the temperature gradually rises.
On Route 15, Ma Xiu watched Xia Chen's back gradually as he rode his bicycle, feeling a little disappointed.
Even now, I still can't win over this man... Am I not charming enough?
But the first time he looked at each other after waking up, Ma Xiu thought that Xia Chen was going to come over and hug her in the next second. What extinguished his impulse?
Miss Ma Xiu couldn't understand.
After a brief period of frustration, she regained her energy.
Forget it, the days are long.
At least, I accepted the experience of sleeping with him for the first time!
Thinking of this, Ma Xiu happily hummed a ditty from her hometown, summoned Pokkisi and flew back in the direction of Xiangxuan City.
…………
After a thrilling incident, Xia Chen, who was currently in the Sage Time, wanted to go to a quiet place to rest for a few days, calm down, and take a good look at his newly conquered, unique Zoroa. .
Coincidentally, at the end of Road No. 15, there is such a place, Fengxu Town.
Two days later, he came to this windy country town.
Although it was a small town without even a gym, Xia Chen still rented a clean and elegant Carlos B&B.
The owner of the B&B is an old lady who is good at making desserts. She raises some elves and plants some fruit trees, and lives a leisurely life in this agricultural-based town.
According to her, the main purpose of using the spare rooms on her farm to open a B&B is to provide travelers like Xia Chen with a comfortable place to stay.
In such an environment, Xia Chen spent a peaceful week.
Of course, it's not like he didn't do anything serious this week.
Keeping the promise with the doctor, I captured a few elves around Fengxu Town...
I participated in a local small competition to maintain my fighting skills and won a championship...
The four elves’ daily training and intra-team battles...
And most importantly, I took a rough look at the little pink-furred fox that was very different from the ordinary Zoroa.
…………
Since he didn't decide to send Soraya to the research institute, Xia Chen used his own native methods to check.
First of all, there is the characteristic. There is nothing to say about this. It is the same [illusion] as ordinary Zoroa.
That is, it can transform into the appearance of other elves, and will return to its original state when it is damaged.
Next is the attributes, which is what surprised Xia Chen the most.
He had thought that Zoroa would have a ghost attribute, or that he would be a ghost and evil like the Flower Rock Monster, but he did not expect that in addition to the ghost attribute, Zoroa's other attribute would be average!
Undoubtedly, this is an attribute combination that has never been found among all existing elves.
