It was completely dark when we left the cave of the Swamp Kings and returned to the camp.
"That's it for today's live broadcast. Thank you all for watching. See you tomorrow."
[Is it time to say goodbye so soon? This is too short, I haven’t seen enough yet. 】
[Teacher Mo, good night~]
[After a long day of running today, Teacher Mo looks very tired. Let Teacher Mo get off work early and rest, looking forward to tomorrow’s trip. 】
"Thanks for understanding."
After briefly saying goodbye to the audience, Chen Mo asked Brother Yi to stop the live broadcast.
"Thanks for your hard work."
After Brother Yi put down the camera, he took a glass of water and handed it to Chen Mo.
"I will cook dinner today, and you should have a good rest first."
"OK."
Chen Mo was not polite.
Anyway, this kind of thing has happened in previous trips, and I will automatically find opportunities to change it back later.
but…
Brother Yi should have noticed it.
Chen Mo has been in a very depressed mood ever since he discovered that Zekrom had a large number of scales falling off. In addition, today's popular science live broadcast lasted for more than ten hours.
Chen Mo was also tired.
Both physically and spiritually.
"Pikachu..."
Pikachu took the initiative to jump off Chen Mo's shoulder from the second half of the journey and chose to walk by himself. At this time, when he saw Chen Mo lying on the air mattress with a tired face, he walked gently to Chen Mo's side. , and then also lay down.
"Pikachu~"
Letting out a soft cry, Pikachu stuck out its little tongue and licked Chen Mo's cheek affectionately.
"Thank you, Pikachu."
Chen Mo turned sideways and rubbed Pikachu's furry little head.
From escaping when he first came to this world to accepting the responsibility of popularizing science, Chen Mo's thoughts became simpler and simpler. He just wanted to meet all kinds of elves and popularize science about these little guys to the people of this world. Let humans gradually accept the existence of elves.
Things seemed to be developing in the direction Chen Mo expected.
but…
As he embarked on the journey and continued to experience various things, Chen Mo came to understand more and more that his life was no longer as simple as popular science.
Mr. Arthur's commission, the reason why the elves came to this world, Suicune's omen, Reshiram who disappeared in the history of another world, and now the incident of Zekrom's falling scales.
These incidents and mysteries shrouded his mind, making Chen Mo feel deeply tired. He even felt that traveling was not as happy as before.
"Pikachu~"
Pikachu stuck out his tongue again and gently licked Chen Mo.
"Don't worry, Pikachu."
Chen Mo smiled and said softly.
"I just feel a little bit tired. Just let me rest for a while. Please wake me up during dinner."
Deep tiredness came over him, Chen Mo yawned, and slowly closed his eyes under Pikachu's gaze.
"Pickup..."
Pikachu looked at the sleeping young man with a worried face.
Chen Mo's shadow shook for a while, and then, a purple-black figure emerged from it, floating next to Pikachu, observing the lying young man with him.
"Kou Jie..."
Ghoststone lowered his voice and didn't act like he usually did.
It floated gently to the suitcase aside, skillfully took out a small blanket from it, and then covered the sleeping Chen Mo.
"Pikachu..."
"Kou Jie! Kou Jie, Kou Jie!"
Pokémon are particularly susceptible to the trainer's emotions. In addition, as Chen Mo's initial Pokémon, Pikachu has been with Chen Mo since he was young. He is more sensitive to Chen Mo's emotions and is more susceptible to them. Influence.
Ghost Stone noticed this, stretched out two small purple-black paws, patted Pikachu gently, and comforted softly.
Seeing that Pikachu was still in a low mood, Ghost also started to have a headache.
"Kou Jie..."
After thinking hard for a while, Ghost Stone's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Kou Jie!"
"Pickup?"
"Kou Jie! Kou Jie, Kou Jie!"
Listening to Ghoststone's words, Pikachu looked hesitant.
but.
Ghost Stone, who does whatever comes to mind, doesn't hesitate. He grabbed Pikachu and floated straight out of the tent.
At this time, Brother Yi, who had just picked up a pile of firewood and raised the bonfire, saw two elves coming to him.
Looking at Ghost Stone with a sunny smile on his face, Brother Yi looked calm.
"Is there a problem?"
"Kou Jie..."
Ghost Stone rubbed his little paws and looked a little embarrassed.
soon.
Brother Yi frowned under Ghost Stone's dancing instructions.
"You mean, you guys are going to cook this dinner?"
"Kou Jie, Kou Jie!"
Ghost nodded frequently while waiting expectantly for Brother Yi's answer.
After a while of silence, Brother Yi finally spoke up.
"I understand, have you thought about what you want to make for Xiao Mo?"
"Kou...Jie..."
Ghost Stone's expression suddenly froze.
The most important issue that most elves care about is the issue of feeding themselves.
Ghost Stone thought that if he and Pikachu could prepare a dinner for Chen Mo, then he would definitely be in a good mood soon.
but…
What to do specifically, this question, Gui Stone had never thought about it on a whim.
Brother Yi was not surprised by this. He thought for a moment and said slowly to Ghost Stone.
"Just wait for me."
"Kou Jie!" "Pica!"
Ghoststone and Pikachu nodded honestly and watched obediently as Brother Yi walked into the tent.
It didn't take long.
Ghost Stone then saw Brother Yi walking out holding a familiar egg.
"Kou Jie!"
Ghost Stone became excited immediately.
It won't forget that delicious taste.
Brother Yi's expression did not change at all. He handed the egg out and said slowly.
"There happened to be some rice left in the pot yesterday, so you can use this wonderful egg to make an egg fried rice."
Having said this, Brother Yi suddenly stopped talking and looked at Ghoststone and Pikachu.
"Can you make egg fried rice?"
"Kou Jie!"
Ghost Stone patted his chest with his little purple paws.
It hides in Chen Mo's shadow every day. It is also present when Chen Mo cooks. Of course it knows how to make egg fried rice, which is a very simple dish.
This doesn't bother me.
"..."
soon.
Brother Yi looked at Gui Shi, who was deep in thought in front of the cassette stove, and shook his head helplessly.
"Let me assist you."
In Brother Yi's opinion, since Ghost Stone can come up with this idea, then he should be somewhat good at it. In addition, making egg fried rice is not difficult. Ghost Stone said that he can make it. So, give it a try It doesn’t hurt to try.
result.
Brother Yi looked at the battered bowl of egg fried rice in front of him, and then at Ghost Stone with a silly smile on his face.
"Let's choose something else to do."
Just when Brother Yi was thinking about whether there was any simple food that the two elves could use, he saw Pikachu suddenly walking out of the tent, holding Chen Mo's mobile phone in his hand.
Open it gently.
Pikachu pointed at the lock screen and looked at Brother Yi expectantly, seeming to ask if this is okay?
Brother Yi took a look.
The picture on the lock screen is under a pavilion.
The gentle sunshine shines on Pichu, who is holding an apple with a happy face. Next to it, a young man is sitting next to the steaming cassette stove, holding a bowl, with a bright smile on his face.
"Pikachu..."
"I see."
Brother Yi squatted down with a rare smile on his face.
"Hot pot is a good idea. The weather has been quite cold recently. It would be good to have some hot pot at night. I will ask Natural Bird to help me catch a fish in Chengying Lake later. Let's make a simple hot pot together."
"Kou Jie!"
Ghost Stone raised his little paw at this time, indicating that the task of catching fish was left to him.
Subsequently.
Without waiting for Brother Yi to say anything, Ghost Stone, determined to do his part, quickly floated towards Chengying Lake, preparing to find the Carp King in the lake for help.
…
"Pika pika."
A familiar shout came to his ears, and Chen Mo slowly woke up from his sleep when he felt someone shaking him.
Yawning slightly, Chen Mo rubbed his eyes.
"Is it dinner time already?"
"Pikachu!"
Noticing that there seemed to be something wrong with Pikachu's tone, Chen Mo said with confusion.
"Pikachu, what happened?"
"Pickup."
Pikachu shook his head first, then grabbed Chen Mo's trousers and started to pull them out.
"ok, ok, I got it."
Unable to defeat Pikachu, Chen Mo quickly stood up and followed Pikachu out of the tent.
That's when.
A scent of fragrance wafted from outside.
When Chen Mo walked out of the door, he saw that under the command of Brother Yi, Ghost Stone was floating in front of the steaming pot, slowly pouring the egg liquid of the Wonderful Egg into the pot.
The scent is stronger.
"This is…"
Chen Mo was stunned.
Brother Yi said slowly.
"The dinner they prepared for you."
"they…"
Chen Mo glanced at Ghost Stone in the distance with his head held high, and then at Pikachu who climbed up on his shoulder with an affectionate expression on his face.
this moment.
A warmth surged from my heart and spread throughout my body instantly.
"Stop standing around now and come over to eat."
"Um."
Chen Mo didn't say anything more, nodded and walked over quickly.
Under the expectant eyes of Ghost Stone and Pikachu, Chen Mo picked up a large piece of fish in the hot pot with chopsticks and put it into his bowl.
After Brother Yi’s explanation.
Chen Mo knew that Ghoststone asked Magikarp to help select the fish, and Pikachu cut the fish with Iron Tail, so it was all in large pieces.
Hot pot is a simple thing to make, but whether it tastes good or not, the most important thing is the bottom of the pot.
The fish in Chengying Lake is already delicious, and combined with the wild mushrooms Chen Mo picked while wandering around two days ago and some seasoning packets prepared by Brother Yi, the soup base is already quite good.
Not to mention, the Wonder Egg was added at the end.
This mouthful of thick soup was eaten with the fish, and Chen Mo's eyes were full of satisfaction.
"tasty!"
A simple sentence immediately made Ghoststone and Pikachu extremely happy.
Chen Mo smiled slightly, and then released Bibi Bird and Absolu from the elf ball.
After receiving Chen Mo's evaluation, the proud Ghost Stone immediately took Pikachu to show off in front of Pidgeot and Absol. After all, they contributed a lot to this dinner.
"This guy…"
Chen Mo shook his head helplessly.
He looked at Brother Yi, who also released the natural bird, and said gratefully.
"Brother Yi, thank you for taking care of Ghoststone and Pikachu, and this wonderful egg..."
"fine."
Brother Yi interrupted Chen Mo and waved his hand.
"It's just an egg, there's no need to take it seriously."
When Chen Mo saw this, he still felt a little sorry.
Previously, the auspicious egg clan gave Chen Mo and the others three Wonderful Eggs. Chen Mo and Pikachu had already eaten the two eggs, but Brother Yi had been keeping the Wonderful Eggs carefully so that they would be ready at the end of the trip. Afterwards, this wonderful egg was handed over to the Countermeasures Bureau for Professor Zhou and his team to study.
Unexpectedly, it was eventually used for cooking.
"You don't have to think too much." Brother Yi said calmly, "Wonderful eggs are consumables and are meant to be used. Moreover, we are already looking for the auspicious egg family, and now there are some clues over there. Maybe there will be more wonderful eggs to study soon, and there is no shortage of one from me.”
"Furthermore, even if the auspicious egg family here refuses to officially cooperate with us, we are still confident that in the days to come, we can gain their trust or find other auspicious egg groups and get them from their hands. Obtain the Wonderful Egg.”
"So, you don't have to worry about it at all."
After listening to Brother Yi's words, Chen Mo felt that this was also the case and didn't worry about it anymore.
at this time.
Did Brother Yi, who usually spoke a word, suddenly speak out again?
"When I first joined the army, I had a very good friend, but due to some things, he was seriously injured and had to choose to retire."
"We once vowed to make our own contribution to this country. Therefore, during the time when he retired, I always trained hard and strengthened myself."
"Then…"
"I'm hurt too."
"At that time, one of my chiefs said to me."
"You idiot, do you really think that the world can't survive without you? Can you alone decide the honor of the army and the future of the country? Do you think you have a lot to bear? So you must work harder? Don’t think that I will praise you, I will only scold you, you are a fool!”
At this point, Brother Yi paused and looked at Chen Mo.
"I'm not very good at talking, and I don't know how to talk about big things, but I feel that what the chief wanted me to understand at that time is the same as what I want you to understand now."
"The sky is falling, but we and this country are still holding up."
"Just relax, you've done enough."
A rare gentle smile appeared on Brother Yi's face.
Chen Mo was silent for a moment, then nodded and whispered one word.
"good."
Under the moonlight.
A full moon sets in Chengying Lake.
Pikachu, Ghoststone and Pidgeot went to the lake to play with Magikarp, while Absol took a walk in the quiet forest.
Next to a warm campfire.
Chen Mo's shadow swayed, and then returned to calm.
