Cattleya's villa in the Sinnoh region.
After the spring rain, drops of water drip from the eaves and corridors from time to time, and the rhythmic sound is really conspicuous in the quiet high-end villa area.
The hazy sky and fresh air make it a good weather for sleeping.
But Cattleya didn't.
She sat on the single sofa in her room, leaning her face sideways and looking out the window.
The location here is very good. From Cattleya's perspective, she can clearly see the sun slowly breaking through the dark clouds. However, Cattleya looked away after looking at it for a while and slowly floated downstairs.
She is hungry.
She floated into the kitchen, "Well... I've finished eating the curry and mapo tofu..."
"Nai Nong..." The Snow Demon Girl floated over and looked at Cattleya.
Cattleya knew what the snow witch looked like without looking at her.
She scolded: "Don't cry. Since you are his Pokémon, you should be strong."
But in fact, Snow Demon Girl is not Xu Qiansu's Pokémon.
Cattleya took out a bag of very high-end elf food from the refrigerator and poured it into the food bowl, "Eat it... Although I can't save anything, I have at least killed more than a hundred people in Team Galaxy. Wait for Zhu. Lan found their base camp, and at that time, none of these people could escape."
After saying that, without waiting for the Snow Witch to respond, she opened the refrigerator again, took out an apple fruit, washed it and floated it to the sofa in the living room, biting it in small bites.
He didn't do anything, he just chewed the fruit silently.
Zhulan didn't come back, Ma Li lived in the Pokémon Center, and Xu Qiansu naturally wouldn't come back, so these two days, she and the Snow Demon Girl were the only ones living in the villa.
Cattleya's mark perception range can roughly span several areas. If the distance is too far, the perception will only be blurry, and it will never be like now, where she can't perceive it at all.
Since he can't feel it, it means that Xu Qiansu is really no longer in this world.
Cattleya finished eating the pulp and threw it away, and the core was crushed into powder in mid-air.
She clapped her little hands, hugged her knees, curled up on the sofa, and was about to fall asleep like this.
The Snow Witch floated out of the kitchen, glanced at her, and then floated back to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, picked up fruits and vegetables, and prepared to cook for Cattleya.
She was used to living with a Pokémon, so she knew how to cook it.
Suddenly, click————
There was a soft sound of the door opening.
Cattleya opened her eyes and looked up. The only people with the key were Zhulan, Xu Qiansu and Ma Li.
The person coming... is naturally Ma Li.
She brushed a few strands of black hair in front of her shoulders and waved to the Snow Demon Girl who poked her little face out of the kitchen. Then she looked at Cattleya and said, "I found a clue to him."
…
"Cha~" The pickpocket cat stretched out its little paw and touched the purple-black pendant. It felt cold.
Ma Li pinched the back of her neck and hugged her into her arms, looked at Cattleya and asked, "Can you detect anything?"
Cattleya didn't speak. She looked at the pendant silently, then stretched out her white and tender little hands to hold it.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and whispered: "I feel it..."
"What?"
"His mark."
"Mark?" Ma Li frowned slightly. Why didn't she remember that Xu Qiansu had any so-called 'mark' on her body?
"It's the mental imprint I left on him."
Ma Li's thoughtful expression paused, and she turned her head and asked, "Why did you keep that thing?"
"For now." After saying that, Cattleya closed her eyes, and her spiritual power, which was as vast as the sky, was slowly compressed into the purple-black pendant.
Cattleya is a person born with superpowers. She is born with such power, born with the ability to read minds, and born with the ability to destroy everything around her... This ability makes her almost omnipotent. Even a few years ago, she was still It's the same thing if you can't control it skillfully.
She thought that as long as she was alive for one day, she would remain so powerful forever.
Until now...
Cattleya suddenly let go of the hand holding the pendant as if she was electrocuted, and a bit of surprise appeared on her delicate eyebrows.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this situation, Ma Li's heart sank slightly and she asked in a low voice.
"The darkness and... the whirlpool, like a black hole, seem to be absorbing my spiritual power, consciousness, and soul together..." A few strands of golden hair stuck to Cattleya's forehead, and her voice was no longer casual and casual. Lazy, with a rare hint of dignity.
She said: "At least, this pendant is related to gods..."
"It was taken from the Xicui ruins..." After hearing this, Ma Li was slightly startled, tapped her chin with her finger, and then spit out a name, "Giratina?"
"Maybe, I heard Zhulan say that he is a god living on the backside of the world... When Zhulan comes back, she should study it."
Ma Li nodded slightly. She stood up and looked at the Snow Demon Girl floating beside her, staring straight at her. She couldn't help but pat her forehead and comforted her: "He's fine, and he asked me to take more care of you." .”
"Nai Neng..." The Snow Demon Girl would have thought that she was some kind of evil star. As long as she followed someone, something would happen to that person.
"Why hasn't Zhulan come back?" Speaking of Zhulan, Ma Li remembered that she seemed to be talking to her, but she didn't listen at all at that time.
"After hastily finishing the exhibition match, we returned to the alliance headquarters to arrange manpower and investigate the Galaxy team's main base..." Cattleya seemed to be still a little frightened, and her tone was a little light.
Finding a way to bring Xu Qiansu back to modern times is one thing, and taking revenge is another.
To the world, this was just a not-so-rare terrorist attack...and only one casualty. It was news that would be forgotten after just one glance and a sigh.
But for Ma Li, Cattleya, and even Zhulan... it's different.
Cattleya lowered her eyes and looked down at her little hand that had just held the pendant, her delicate little face expressionless... There were two things she didn't tell Ma Li.
One: If she had continued to go deeper just now, her consciousness might have been completely absorbed and her body would have become an empty shell... that is, she would have died.
Two: Xu Qiansu's aura is getting closer. Maybe...she can find him and even find a way to bring him back.
She glanced at the purple-black pendant, and her little hands couldn't help but tighten.
…
Washui area.
Xu Qiansu suddenly tilted her head, looking beyond the wall and looking at the top of Tianguan Mountain that could be seen from any direction.
In the original work, the sky above Tianguan Mountain has always been shrouded in a vortex of time and space, but at this moment, the sky is clear and clear, without any color. Obviously, the current time period has not yet reached the timeline of the original game...or maybe the original game The game plot has ended.
"This little brother?" The voice next to his ear brought Xu Qiansu back to reality. He looked back, smiled sheepishly, pointed to a blank plaque on the stall, and said, "This piece of wood is good. "
"Okay, what do I need to engrave on you?" the boss said enthusiastically.
Xu Qiansu thought for a moment and said, "No, I can just take it home and carve it myself."
"Okay... this still has some weight. Where is my little brother's home? I sent someone to deliver it to you..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Qiansu picked him up and turned around and said, "Thank you, I appreciate your kindness."
After that, he paid the money and left directly.
The boss looked at Xu Qiansu's back, and the beard on his chin trembled, "Here, this little brother looks gentle and weak, but he has such strength... It's good to be young~"
Halfway through the journey, Xu Qiansu suddenly heard someone greeting her.
He turned his head and looked, and saw a dim yellow cloth banner fluttering in the wind in front of a store in a bluestone alley next to him, and the word 'wine' came into view.
A liquor store.
An old man of half a century waved to him slightly and asked him if he wanted to buy some wine.
Xu Qiansu doesn't drink, and he doesn't have much interest in wine, but wine can also be regarded as a kind of seasoning, and... Now that he is alone in this strange era, he should drink as much as he can.
He walked into the alley, put down the plaque, and asked: "Boss, how do you sell this wine?"
The boss looked Xu Qiansu up and down and said with a smile: "Brother, you can come in and try it. If you think it tastes good, it's not too late to talk about it."
Xu Qiansu nodded slightly and opened the curtain, but she saw that the wine shop was not very large, with three or two tables set up, but there were more than a dozen wine vats placed in the corners. Just smelling it made her feel intoxicating.
Someone was sitting at the table, an older drinker.
The boss warmed a bowl of sake and handed it to Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu thanked him, took it and took a sip, then coughed a few times.
"It's a very strong wine," Xu Qiansu said with a smile, "but the taste is very delicate and mellow, and it's sweet and refreshing."
Xu Qiansu didn't know much about wine and didn't know if it was a good wine, so she had to describe it this way.
The boss laughed, but did not talk about wine, but said: "Old man, I have lived in this town for most of my life. I have come and gone, and I have met many people, but this is the first time I have seen someone as special as my little brother. "
Xu Qiansu took another sip, then chuckled and said, "What's special or not? I'm just an ordinary person."
The boss didn't respond. He just poured a pot of wine slowly and said, "We fell in love when we first met. I will give this pot of wine to you, old man."
Eye edge? Xu Qiansu never believed this, although what could the wine shop owner want from him?
So he took the jug, took out a piece of money from his sleeve and put it on the table. After taking the jug, he turned and left.
"Hey! Little brother, there's so much!" The boss knew that he couldn't deliver the wine, so he weighed the copper coins, stepped out of the wine shop, and shouted.
Xu Qiansu slightly waved the hand holding the wine bottle, without looking back, and said, "I'll just come here to get some wine later."
After saying that, he walked out of the bluestone alley and disappeared.
The boss shook his head and laughed, then returned to the wine shop and placed two plates of appetizers in front of the drinker.
"This young man is free and easy-going... What is his identity?" The drinker asked casually while drinking.
The boss chuckled: "I don't know, but he is so handsome, so he must be rich or noble."
"It's either rich or noble? Xicui is not very stable, so there are not many powerful people..." The drinker was obviously knowledgeable and casually said: "Only when we go to Guandu and Chengdu, will there be people who can afford the power 'Two words."
The boss has been running a wine shop for most of his life, and he is obviously a talkative person. He started chatting freely with the drinkers after a few sentences.
Xu Qiansu returned to her small home and closed the door. The vine snake couldn't wait to get out.
It wasn't stuffy, but boring, and...she stretched her tail in front of her face and sniffed lightly, feeling that Xu Qiansu's scent was all over her body.
This is something that a Pokémon is extremely unaccustomed to.
Xu Qiansu sat directly on the tatami, put down the wine bottle, gently stroked the little head of the vine snake, and asked: "Are you hungry?"
"Bocha." Vine Snake wasn't too hungry yet. She rolled up Xu Qiansu's wine bottle on the ground with her tail, opened the lid, and looked out curiously.
"Be careful, there is realgar wine in it." Xu Qiansu pulled out the wine bottle from her tail, only to see that the big burgundy eyes of the Vine Snake were already a bit hazy.
She drank.
Xu Qiansu couldn't help but laugh. He picked up the rattan snake and put it on his lap. He then moved the plaque over, took the tools, and thought about what to name his restaurant.
"Bocha~" Teng Teng Snake opened his little hand towards Xu Qiansu... and wanted to drink.
"If it's really realgar wine, let your little snake demon show its prototype..." Xu Qiansu handed the wine pot to the Vine Snake and watched her take a sip while holding it in her arms.
He doesn't cough, maybe the Pokémon is much more adaptable.
Xu Qiansu wiped the wine spilled on the Vine Snake, then took the wine bottle and drank it too.
"Bo... Cha~" The Vine Snake was obviously drunk, as it wrapped its tail tightly around Xu Qiansu's forearm as if in heat.
Then she drank a few more sips, then relaxed her tail, collapsed on Xu Qiansu's lap, and fell asleep.
"I'm still drinking if I can't drink..." Xu Qiansu was also a little tipsy. He smiled, then gently patted the vine snake, and sang like a lullaby: "Could it be that look in the past life, just for that side in this life..."
Xu Qiansu couldn't sing, but Teng Teng Snake didn't care.
"Wait for a thousand years~Wait for once~"
Her maple-leaf-like tail fanned gently and she slept comfortably.
Xu Qiansu picked up the tool and slowly carved words, humming "Past and Present Life" softly.
He did not have the experience or skills to engrave, but he knew the power of waveguides and had perfect control over the force. Therefore, although the words he engraved were not pretty, at least they would not look nondescript or crooked.
Halfway through the engraving, Teng Teng Snake woke up again. She yawned and leaned into Xu Qiansu's arms, staring blankly at Xu Qiansu carving words on the plaque.
Then she dipped her little hand in wine and took a cute handprint on the plaque.
With Teng Teng Snake's physical ability, he really took a handprint.
Xu Qiansu pursed her lips and smiled, mobilized the power of the waveguide, and took a photo next to the small handprint of the Vine Snake.
"Bocha~" Vine Snake stuck out his little tongue and licked the wine on his hand, then raised his face and asked, "Do you want to go out tonight?"
Xu Qiansu nodded lightly, "We will go out every night from now on. We will have to work hard before we find Qilulian and the others."
"Bocha." Vine Snake nodded.
After finishing the carving, Xu Qiansu started cooking again. After eating, the sky was already dark.
It's time to leave.
Xu Qiansu put on her black trousers and white lining, and put on a black kimono to make sure not to attract attention, then picked up the snake and left the house.
The small right corner of the plaque has two handprints, one large and one small. In the center, it says 'Little Green Snake's Cooking House'...
——
The monthly ticket is still 130 short of the top 500, which should be the limit for this book, but there are still ten days left, there should be a chance...
My physical condition is better today. I will code more tomorrow and strive for 10,000 per day.
