One afternoon is too short to say much.
And Xia Chen also needs time to digest and absorb, not to mention that Sirona will get tired after talking for a long time.
So after a brief and in-depth exchange of views on the training of dragon elves against ice and how Menas could improve the hit rate of water cannons, the two ended their first teaching session, and Xia Chen gained a lot.
As the saying goes, if there are three people walking together, there must be one teacher.
Everyone has strengths worth learning from, not to mention that person is the best trainer in the world.
Although Xia Chen has achieved this kind of achievement in every generation of games in his previous life, is there any comparison between games and reality?
The game is just a bunch of data, fight, gain experience, level up, that's it.
In reality, the elves are all living beings, and the two are not essentially the same dimension.
So many of the things Sirona said today are very valuable to Xia Chen.
Unfortunately, I have to leave Zhuqing City tomorrow and go to Tianguan Mountain to explore the ruins. I won’t have much time to listen to Teacher Sirona’s lectures.
With a slight regret, Xia Chen ended the last day before the adventure.
The next day, after a simple breakfast, the two set out for Shenhe Town.
Sirona did not bring all the elves with her on this trip. She left the flower rock monster and the sea rabbit at home.
There was no other reason, except that Sirona only took six elves with her every time she went out, and it happened to be their turn.
They went by plane. Although Liebite Land Shark and Pokkisi could fly, if they were not in a hurry, it would obviously be more comfortable to fly.
Shenhe Town is a peaceful town with ancient historical heritage, and it is also the hometown of Sirona.
This time I came here, firstly as a transit to the ruins in Tianguan Mountain, and secondly, to accompany Sirona to visit her grandmother.
Sirona's grandmother Xia Chen has an impression of her and has appeared in games, animations and special episodes.
The specific name is unclear, but she is called Dr. Jie Zilan and is the director of the Shenhe Town Historical Research Institute. She is an old man who is very proud of Sirona.
…………
"Is your grandma the only one in Shenhe Town? Where are your other family members?"
Xia Chen asked curiously while sitting in the car from the airport to Grandma Sirona's house.
Sirona replied: "They are all very busy. My parents are also historians and travel around the world all year round. There are also cousins who have their own affairs. Only grandma stays in Shenhe Town."
"Historian," Xia Chen repeated softly, slightly absent-minded.
He remembered that his parents were historians, and they disappeared in the Alola region.
Although strictly speaking he has never met his parents in this world's body, the two souls merged into one, so it would be false to say that he has no feelings for his missing parents.
If it were the Alola region, would it have something to do with the Aether Foundation or the Ultimate Cave?
Xia Chen had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
If you have the ability in the future, go there and have a look.
"Xia Chen, did you hear that? We're here."
Sirona's worried voice woke up Xia Chen.
This was the first time she saw Xia Chen showing such an expression in the past few days. Is it because of his parents?
Sirona was one of the people who had followed Xia Chen on the Internet very early and knew about the disappearance of his parents.
A fifteen-year-old child has to bear the burden of life alone, and has to make a living by performing online. After getting the first start-up capital, he engages in elf research, and then step by step to get to where he is today?
Sirona instantly recalled the difficult growth history of this young man in the past few years, and suddenly felt a little emotional and a little distressed.
Xia Chen woke up from his absent-minded state and responded: "Oh, okay, I was just thinking about something and didn't hear it. I'm sorry."
He turned and looked out the window, where a somewhat mottled old building stood.
…………
"My grandma usually lives in the house behind the Institute of History, so this is her home. I grew up here when I was a child, so I later fell in love with mythology and history."
Walking in the corridor of the institute, Sirona introduced the place with a little nostalgia.
Xia Chen curiously looked at this long-established research institute, and in a trance he seemed to see the scene of Xiaobaicai and the round land shark running and playing here, growing up together.
Sirona pointed forward and said: "That's where my mythology was enlightened."
The place she was pointing to was at the end of the corridor, where there were two huge murals on the walls on both sides of the door.
From a long distance away, Xia Chen could see Palkia and Dialga on the mural.
Time and Space Double Dragon?
It is normal for the Historical Research Institute of the Sinnoh region to study this.
Xia Chen followed Sirona slowly to the end of the corridor and observed the two murals.
The Dialga and Palkia in the picture were ten or even nine points more imaginative than what Xia Chen remembered.
They were facing each other from a distance, with angry looks in their eyes, and they looked like they were about to fight at any time.
Hmm. It feels like something is missing.
Where's Giratina who's as big as me?
Where is Giratina who captured Dialga and sent him to the reverse world every day?
Wait, does the legend of this world’s Sinnoh include my Great Ghost Dragon?
Xia Chen's memory was suddenly confused, and he couldn't remember the incident for a while.
He turned to Sirona and asked: "Do you know the third dragon created by Arceus?"
Sirona's eyes were a little confused, "What third dragon?"
Xia Chen was a little surprised. Isn't Giratina among the myths and legends of this world?
Legend has it that because of his cruelty, Giratina was banished to the back of this world, living in a ruined world without the distinction between heaven and earth.
And there are gaps in the Sinnoh history of this world, so why is Giratina unknown?
Xia Chen thought this way.
…………
"What do you mean by the third dragon you just mentioned?"
This was not Sirona's question, but a somewhat old voice coming from behind.
Xia Chen turned his head, and an old woman wearing a researcher's white coat and with short brown hair appeared behind him.
Although she looks old, the old man has a tall and upright figure and is energetic. She is a very elegant old lady.
Undoubtedly, this is Sirona's grandmother, Dr. Jie Zilan.
"grandmother!"
Sirona's eyebrows were crooked, and she ran over and hugged the old man like a child. A slight smile appeared on Jie Zilan's serious-looking face.
But now is not the time to reminisce about the past. The old lady is still thinking about what Xia Chen just said.
She gently pushed away and hugged her granddaughter, and asked: "Young man, what do you mean by the third dragon you just mentioned?"
Hmm. Academics are more important than granddaughter, right?
Although Xia Chen was a little speechless, he still replied: "I heard it from my parents when I was very young. Legend has it that the Great Master of Sinnoh created the three holy mushrooms of knowledge, emotion, and will that represent the spiritual world, which are the three holy mushrooms of the lake. The gods, and the three dragons representing time, space, and antimatter in the physical world.”
Jie Zilan and Sirona were both lost in thought, murmuring softly and repeating: "Antimatter"
Anyway, someone has found someone to take the blame, and Xia Chen is not afraid to ask about the source, so he simply tells it all in one breath.
"Yes, his name is Giratina. Legend has it that because of his too rough personality, he was expelled by the Great Lord of Sinnoh to the back of the world, where he can monitor the real world and the real world can also affect it."
Xia Chen spoke very clearly, even telling the origin, whereabouts, and the reason for the disappearance, leaving Jie Zilan and Sirona stunned.
Jie Zilan asked: "May I ask, who are your parents? Do they also study the history of Sinnoh mythology?"
Before Xia Chen responded, Sirona reminded her in a low voice: "Xia Chen's parents have been missing for more than two years due to research work."
Jie Zilan didn't expect such a thing to happen. She looked at Xia Chen with a somewhat pitiful expression and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't know about this."
Xia Chen shook his head slightly and said, "It's okay."
He had originally used his missing parents as an excuse for unknown information, so it was perfectly normal for him to be asked.
…………
It's not a problem to keep chatting here, and Xia Chen and Sirona came all the way and haven't eaten lunch yet.
So while chatting with Xia Chen about Giratina, the grandfather and grandson took him to the back of the research institute, where Jie Zilan lived.
Like the historical institute outside, the house where Mustard Zilan lives is also a bit old, but it has all the modern furniture inside.
Intellectuals are still different from many ordinary old people and are more willing to accept the outside world.
Jie Zilan has no identity as a trainer, and the only elves that have been accompanying her are Biting Land Shark and Roentgen Cat.
The two elves, like their master, looked a little old, and their mental and physical conditions were not as good as those of the elves in their prime.
They were very happy to see Sirona coming back and walked around her.
The Roentgen cat cupped Sirona's legs and looked at Sirona with relief.
Jiezilan explained to Xia Chen: "When she was a child, Zhulan liked to ride on the Roentgen cat and run around. Every once in a while, she would run to Liebite Land Shark to see if she had grown. high."
Xia Chen smiled slightly, it was such a happy and warm childhood.
Jie Zilan lives alone and has always cooked for herself and the elves. The family has not prepared enough food for three people and a dozen elves.
Fortunately, Xia Chen and the others bought enough food before setting off, so lunch was easily solved.
During the meal, the three of them talked a lot.
The myths and legends of Sinnoh, the gods of the lake, Giratina mentioned by Xia Chen
The old lady is also concerned about Sirona's life alone in Zhuqing City and some of Xia Chen's affairs.
She was still very impressed with Xia Chen. After all, the Ypeltar incident half a year ago shocked the world and everyone knew about it.
In addition, Mustard Seed Orchid originally studied historical myths, so the myth of Carlos is also a myth, right?
But it is understandable to ask Yveltal and Xerneas Xiachen. What does it mean to ask how old he is and who is in the family?
Xia Chen didn't know how Sirona didn't know what her grandmother was thinking. After coughing twice, Jie Zilan smiled, stopped asking, and talked about other things.
When Jie Zilan learned that Xia Chen and Sirona were going to Tianguan Mountain to explore the ruins and were leaving early tomorrow morning, she was a little disappointed.
However, she didn't do much to persuade her to stay. She just said that she would make a good meal for them tonight.
…………
In the afternoon, the old lady and Roentgen Cat went to buy groceries for the evening. Xia Chen originally wanted to go with them, but Jie Zilan was a little stubborn and kept him behind, letting Sirona take him around the institute.
Leaving the elves in the backyard to play by themselves, Xia Chen followed Sirona around this historic institute.
There is actually not much to see here. Apart from the mural of the Two Dragons of Time and Space, there is also a mural of the Gods of the Lake, and some stone tablets recording ancient and mysterious texts.
Legend has it that the stone tablet records the distant past of Sinnoh, but no one has been able to decipher it yet.
Xia Chen took a look at it. Well, it was indeed very abstract.
Within an hour, they ended their abstract journey.
Before returning to his residence, Xia Chen suddenly remembered something.
In the animation, this place will be visited by the Galaxy Team, and their target is the most precious cultural relic in the institute, the White Jade Orb.
Xia Chen felt that he needed to remind him, but also felt that such a reminder seemed a bit unreasonable.
He knew that Giratina could use his parents as a cover, so how could he explain that Team Galaxy would come to steal the White Jade Orb?
how? The second elder also works part-time as a prophet?
After thinking about it, Xia Chen decided to keep this matter in mind and see if he could find a chance to talk about it in the future.
The elves in the backyard have a very harmonious atmosphere.
Sirona often returns to Shenhezhen's grandma's house. Her elf basically grew up watching Lao Lie biting Lu Shark. Needless to say, the closeness of the relationship is natural.
Xia Chen's elves also need good looks and emotional intelligence.
Especially Senbu, as long as she wants to have a good relationship with someone or an elf, there is nothing she can't do.
As for Duolong Mexia, whose appearance is not recognized by mainstream opinions, the little one is also cute.
And he had a good personality. When Xia Chen came back, he had turned into a missile and was flying around as he was being slapped by two biting land sharks with their claws with a look of enjoyment on his face.
…………
Maybe he was infected by the happy atmosphere of the elves.
This afternoon, Xia Chen and Sirona no longer talked about cultivation battles or mythology and history. Instead, they devoted themselves to playing with the elves.
Two Meenas, one big and one small, with completely different appearances, were playing in the pond in the backyard.
The older Menas was a little nervous and wanted to get closer to the little Menas, but the latter shrank back with some resistance.
Togekis carried Kirulian flying in mid-air, and the two little angels floated carefree in the air, as leisurely as if they had turned into white clouds in the sky.
On the ground, two biting land sharks were playing a small game of throwing a ball with the little Doron - Doron Mexia was the ball.
The cold and arrogant Bingyibu was wrapped in the fairy cloth, and the layer of ice that isolated him from the outside world was slowly melted, and the last expression of "I really can't do anything to you" greeted the fairy cloth.
Xianbu blinked at Xia Chen while Xia Chen wasn't paying attention, revealing his small fangs.
Xia Chen could clearly read two words from her eyes.
"Take it!"
The cool and handsome dog Lucario saw his friends being so childish, and originally wanted to walk aside with disdain and continue cosplaying Tianya Guke.
But when she saw the little gray fox squatting alone, she still hesitated and walked over.
Soraya looked up at the crouching Lucario and the palm she handed over, then turned to look at Xia Chen.
Seeing the latter smiling and nodding towards her, Soraya hesitated for a while, then stretched out his little paws and placed them on the black fleshy pads with bone spurs on his arms.
Rose Leiduo ran to Xia Chen to ask for advice on cooking, and Xia Chen was naturally willing to give him advice.
Although Xia Chen doesn't understand Elvish, if he only outputs it unilaterally to Roseredo, there will still be no problem with their communication.
Looking at this scene, Sirona felt like she had returned to the most carefree days of her childhood, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Sharing a smile with her was the mustard orchid that had just returned from shopping for groceries and was secretly looking at the place from a distance.
She touched the Roentgen cat beside her and seemed to be talking to herself or to the Roentgen cat.
"The little bamboo orchid has grown so big."
The autumn weather in Shenhe Town in early October was crisp and clear, and the sun was shining slantingly, making everything in the yard quiet and beautiful.
