In an alley, the cold wind blew a little bit of snow and mist. Outside the alley, the marsupials and the residents of Cuixue Town were in a lively mood. Inside the alley, it was dark and cold, and there was only one person and two Pokémon.
Tick tock, tick tock...
Blood dripped down the man's forehead, corners of his mouth, and fingertips of his arms into the snow. He bent his waist, supported the wall, and moved forward step by step. His body was like a paintbrush, rubbing out a long line of blood in the snow.
His Qiao Zhuang-dressed work clothes were covered in dust and blood, and his hair was messy, mixed with blood, and stuck to his face.
La Lulas's flame fist, which was full of murderous intent, was much more powerful than he imagined. It was impossible for human beings to withstand it with their physical strength.
"Fucai~"
"Steal, steal..."
Big-jawed ant and Tou'erhu looked at the man worriedly. Big-jawed ant was fine, but Tou'erhu's condition was not much better than that of the man. Its soft abdomen was hit directly by Lalu Lasi's two flame fists, which had already been injured. His internal organs were still strong enough not to faint, which was already the result of an extremely tenacious will.
"Funai!?"
At this moment, the mandible ant suddenly turned its head and jumped up to block the man.
boom!
But he saw an iron fist with a shining metallic luster striking the body of the mandible ant, embedding it into the wall, and the cracks were like spider webs.
The man was startled and threw himself forward, subconsciously holding the fallen ant in his arms. He lost support and fell directly to the snow in a state of weakness.
"Tou'er!" Tou'er fox trembled, its tail tightly lying on the snow, its limbs arched, its tongue exposed due to its dislocated mouth, but it still made a threatening sound from its throat.
"Oh? I didn't expect that you are just a poacher, but you have two very loyal Pokémon~" The joking voice had a tone of toying with the prey.
With just one blow, the mandible ant lost consciousness... The man endured the severe pain, took out the Poké Ball and took the mandible ant back first. This move alone made him gasp for several breaths, and he was sweating from the pain.
He raised his eyes and looked up, but he saw a man in black robes walking through the snow, blocking out the only ray of sunlight. A red Pokémon that walked upright and had two thick pincers followed him. Beside him.
Giant pincer mantis!
"You also know the purpose of my visit, please hand over the wishing star." The man in black robe said calmly in a condescending and unquestionable tone, as if no one could refuse his wish.
Sure enough, he came after me.
The man was lying in the snow, staring at the man in black robe with one naked eye.
If he hands over the wishing star, will the man in black robe let him go?
He didn't know.
But now, this kind of thing doesn't matter anymore.
He knew that his body was seriously injured and there was no way to survive.
Just like the people he killed.
But this doesn't mean that he can be manipulated by others!
The man grabbed a handful of snow and threw it at the black-robed man and the giant mantis.
"Lightning flashed!" The man's voice was hoarse, and blood oozed from his mouth and nose as he roared.
"It's ridiculous." The man in black robe didn't even hide, and sneered.
The seriously injured Tou'erhu's lightning flashed, and even he, not to mention the Giant Pincer Mantis, could bear it.
However, he saw a red light flashing slightly in the snow thrown by the man.
That's the wishing star!
I saw Tou'erhu slamming into the wishing star. The wishing star broke through the snow and fog and flew into the sky. Immediately, a black afterimage passed through the air. It grabbed the wishing star directly with its claws and ran away without stopping. The speed is impressive.
It seems like a juvenile tit?
In such an unexpected situation, not to mention the man in black robe, even the man was stunned.
Immediately the man burst into laughter, "Hahaha, what I learned from that boy is still of some use~"
The man coughed up blood, still laughing.
"Bullet punch." The man in black robe twitched the corner of his mouth and commanded coldly while holding back his anger.
The bullet punch pierced the air and hit Tou'erhu violently. A line of blood streaked through the air. Tou'erhu hit the man's back again and finally rolled to the ground.
Click————
The man's spine actually cracked. The severe pain caused the man's vision to go dark and he passed out. This shows how powerful the bullet punch of this giant mantis is.
"Bah! Bad luck!" The man in black robe gave the man a cold look, then shook up his black robe and walked away. Rather than venting his anger on such a dead man, the most important thing was to find the wishing star first.
As the man in black robe left, only the man and Touerhu were left in the dark alley.
"Steal...steal...Toole!" Toule fox's limbs trembled and he managed to stand up. Then his legs gave out and he fell into the snow. He panted and stood up tremblingly again. He walked to the man and licked him. profile.
Just like that avalanche, the man suddenly woke up, but could no longer stand up.
Blood foam continued to ooze from his mouth and nose. Knowing that he would not live long, he pursed his lips tightly and placed the elf ball containing the mandible ants in his hand on the snow. "Steal, steal fox, bring it to Xing'er. Originally, I want to use the money from that strange-colored one to exchange for a very talented Lalu Lasi...but our electric worms and mandible ants are not bad either..."
"Steal, Tou'er!" Tou'er fox endured the severe pain and bit the elf ball.
"Wait, wait..." The man reached out his rough hands and touched Thiel Fox's head. Then he tremblingly took out a gift box from his backpack and opened it, only to find an emerald green ribbon.
"I, I know you like the ribbon Myolie tied for you very much... I originally wanted to go home and let Myolie tie it for you, but now, can you let me tie it for you?"
The man stroked the big, fluffy and soft tail of Tou'er Fox and tied it with an emerald green ribbon. It didn't look good at all, but it was just barely tied to the tail, crookedly.
Big hot tears fell from the corners of Tou'erfox's eyes. It loves beauty the most, and what it loves most is to be held in the arms of its little master and combed. But at this moment, it feels that the crooked ribbon tied by the trainer is so beautiful. It's the most beautiful.
It licked the side of the man's face, then turned around, looked back deeply, and left without looking back.
The man was lying in the snow, panting. Every time he took a breath, the light in his eyes dissipated. At the end of his life, he thought that it would be great if he could take a sip of wine...
Cuishue Public Hospital.
The Dian Dian Bug who was resting on the window suddenly opened his eyes, and Tou'er Fox, covered in blood, appeared in front of it.
Tou'erhu put down the elf ball, pushed it with his nose, and let it roll in front of the electric bug.
"Hiss?" (Where is the trainer?)
"Steal, steal, steal..." (From now on, I will rely on you and the mandible ants to protect the mistress and the little master. You know where the money earned by the trainer over the years is hidden. Remember to take the mistress to get it. , the little master’s illness will cost a lot of money, you have to work hard to make money in the future...)
After a brief exchange, Tou'erhu turned his head and saw that the little master was lying on the hospital bed and fell asleep, while the mistress didn't know where she was.
It jumped up to the bedside table and gently licked the side of its little master's face.
"Hmm... Touerhu, it's itchy." The little girl turned over and murmured in her sleep.
Tou'erhu looked at the little master for a while, then jumped to the window sill, looked at Diandian insect, and left the hospital in one leap.
Alley.
The Tou'er Fox staggered, its limbs couldn't help trembling. When it came to the man, it finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed.
It took a few breaths, then stretched out its tongue and licked the side of the man's face, "Too'er~"
But this time, the man didn't respond.
"Steal...er~"
Tou'erhu used all his strength to rest his head on the man's cold big hand and rubbed it lovingly. After a moment, he stopped breathing.
If it goes to the Pokémon Center, its injuries can still be healed.
But it didn't.
Fine snow was flying and falling.
It buries the messy footprints and bloodstains in the alley, covers up the man, and also buries Touerhu.
Vaguely visible, under the thin layer of snow, on the big fluffy and soft tail of the Thief Fox, there is a ribbon, shining with emerald green luster.
✿
Winter nights always come so quickly.
The lanterns were first lit, the moon shadow was falling, and the cold wind was blowing slightly.
The residents of Cuixue Town and the marsupials who wanted to help but were unable to do anything surrounded Miss Joy and others, leaving a large distance between them.
There were so many people and Pokémon, but no one spoke, for fear of disturbing them.
"It's born!" Miss Joy had beads of sweat floating on her forehead. She was holding a large elf egg with brown lines, and her eyes were full of exhaustion.
"Okay!" Someone couldn't help but said in surprise, but saw the marsupial next to him with a solemn expression.
"Gah..." One of the onlookers looked at the young marsupial lying on the snow, took out a few berries from his pocket, walked forward slowly, and placed them on the ground.
The other marsupials did the same, taking out the contents of their pockets and placing them on the ground.
Xu Qiansu pursed her lips and looked at Miss Joy, "Difficult childbirth...will it kill her?"
This kind of thing is too absurd, so Xu Qiansu's tone was a bit unbelievable.
A Pokémon with supernatural abilities and tenacious vitality will die due to dystocia?
"For wild Pokémon, if they can't take a good rest during pregnancy, that's right... Moreover, this seems to be more than just a difficult birth... She should have been exposed to Galar particles during her pregnancy... That kind of thing, if Without the Dynamax wristband, it’s just downright dirty!”
As a Pokémon doctor, Ms. Joy is no stranger to this kind of thing, but she can never get used to it, so her voice is slightly trembling, and the mention of Galar particles is even more filled with resentment. meaning.
The Galar region has been plagued by disasters due to Galar particles for thousands of years... To this day, there are still some Pokémon in the wild who will suddenly become extremely giant due to Galar particles, lose their minds, and just destroy Everything around forms a giant nest.
Countless humans and Pokémon have died at the hands of Dynamax Pokémon.
"Gah." The marsupial was surprisingly calm. She looked at Xu Qiansu and pointed her thick paw at her elf egg.
Marsupials have marsupial living habits. Rather than letting her little marsupial eat hundreds of thousands of meals, she hopes that it can be taken care of by the friends she has just made.
You can tell who he is from the way the little blue-and-white guy on the side looks at him.
Xu Qiansu pursed her lips tightly.
There is only one way to succeed, and that is to live your life the way you want.
The marsupial feels that his life has been mostly successful, but he has some regrets.
At this moment, there was a click, and a crack appeared in the Pokémon egg in Miss Joy's arms.
"Faded early!" Miss Joy covered her mouth with one hand, in disbelief.
Premature incubation means that just after the elf egg is laid, the Pokémon inside will shed its shell, similar to human premature babies.
It will put a great burden on the body of the newborn Pokémon. From now on, just being weak and sick will be considered lucky, which is definitely not a good thing.
But at this moment...
The crack gradually expanded, and finally expanded into a circle, and there was a clear 'click' sound, and a small marsupial with big black and translucent eyes and a light blue body had a big eggshell on its head and its hands were holding the shell. He lay on the wall in the elf egg, and saw his mother in the snowy night.
"Galu~" she called her mother in a sweet voice.
"Gah..." The marsupial forced himself up and approached the little marsupial.
At this moment, she could only lament the wonder of the Creator and the impermanence of fate.
She stretched out her paw wrapped with an emerald green ribbon, and lightly touched the little paw stretched out by the little marsupial.
"Gah..." This sentence means 'I haven't done anything for you yet. '
When it comes time to say goodbye, the marsupial will still want to live, but at this moment, she has something she has to do.
This is something that has been engraved in their instincts for thousands of years.
For the sake of your own children.
I saw the emerald green light starting from between the mother and daughter's paws, with gorgeous light particles, catering to the watery moonlight, covering the whole bodies of the marsupial and the little marsupial.
The falling snow and the surrounding snow looked illusory and beautiful under the emerald green light.
This is evolution, but it is not evolution either.
The body wrapped in a green halo gradually merged into one and gradually shrank.
Finally, the halo dissipated, and the solitary marsupial stood in the snow, holding a bone rod in its hand and a dinosaur-style skull on its small head.
The skull was so big that the marsupial had to hold it up with its hands to keep its view unobstructed.
"Karukaru?" She looked around, where is her mother?
An emerald green ribbon fluttered in the wind and fell on the skull on her little head.
Xu Qiansu walked slowly to the little marsupial and squatted down, took the ribbon, tied it to the bone rod in the little marsupial's hand, and then gently pinched the little marsupial's face.
He wanted to force out a gentle smile, but the corners of his mouth curled up and he could only give up.
The little marsupial looked at the ribbon on the bone rod curiously, then supported the skull with one hand, raised his face and looked at Xu Qiansu, grinning like her mother, with a sunny and cheerful smile.
She loves the ribbon.
Miss Joy covered her lips tightly and cried on the spot.
Ma Li hugged Molu Beike and looked at Xu Qiansu and the small marsupial, wondering what she was thinking.
Cuixue Town has been established for a long time, but why it is called this name is no longer clear.
But at this moment, Xu Qiansu might understand.
This is the most shocking scene that humans here saw when they met marsupials thousands of years ago.
For this reason, this town was established, named Cuixue, passed down the Cuixue Festival, and formed an almost symbiotic friendship with the marsupials.
Cuixue is the gestation, continuation and miracle of life.
————Pokémon Research Notes——————
"Evolution is a mysterious miracle that can change the entirety of a Pokémon. As long as Pokémon is mentioned, it is impossible to ignore this phenomenon."
"But miracles are sometimes accompanied by overwhelming sadness."
"The marsupial is no longer a marsupial, but it's not a Caracalla either."
"Her mother transformed her into possibly the only special Pokémon existing in the world, thus curing her of the side effects of premature aging."
"But I think she would rather not have that specialness."
…
"The marsupial, the parent-child Pokémon."
