Cang Lei slides past, day seems to rise, Ultramarine Town constantly alternates between day and night, and the entire street seems to be filled with only a curtain of rain and two figures.
Dang Dang Dang——————
Da da da------
The sound of gold and iron clashing was masked by the sound of rain.
Looking closely, he saw a man in raincoat clothes holding a long knife. He stepped slightly and opened all the vine whips that enveloped him like a snake.
This is the serious super green cleaner...
Xu Qiansu closed the oil-paper umbrella again, then stepped forward with force.
Under the falling rain, the man in the coir raincoat did not retreat but moved forward. His strong body was running in long strides, and he came to Xu Qiansu in the blink of an eye.
The pace is as fast as the wind, and the raindrops are like needles.
The knife was as long as day, piercing the skin and causing pain.
Although the long street is spacious, the distance between the two people is short.
Linyi Ke has been practicing martial arts all his life. Due to his natural talent, his skills are not perfect, but after all, the foundation is there, and his physical strength is naturally much stronger than that of Xu Qiansu, a halfway monk.
But there are two points. No matter what, he is better than Xu Qiansu.
The long knife turned into a strip in the rain curtain, and countless raindrops turned into tiny water droplets upon contact.
Poof!
This kind of speed is difficult to keep up with Xu Qiansu's current strength.
But he just turned his wrist slightly and bundled up an ordinary oil-paper umbrella, but the next moment he looked at it, the tip of the umbrella suddenly pierced the coir raincoat man's knife-wielding wrist.
To others, it would look like a man in a raincoat doing this on his own initiative... It has a bit of a Jeet Kune vibe.
The power of the waveguide brought Xu Qiansu extremely subtle insights.
In the midst of the pain, Lin Yi Ke's reaction was not unpleasant. He forcibly withdrew his move, jumped up in the air, turned his kick into a kick, and his long boots were like a swimming dragon, slamming into Xu Qiansu's chest. The force was so fierce that he could only see the impact of the boots. A hole appeared out of thin air in the rain curtain, making a muffled sound.
Xu Qiansu didn't even look at this, and saw a flash of emerald green suddenly coming out of Xu Qiansu's clothes. However, he saw the vine snake's tail glowing with green light, flipping in the air in the rain, and slashing directly with a leaf blade. The leg kicked by the raincoater.
The leaf blade of the Vine Snake cannot be forcibly connected with a human body.
However, the coir raincoat guest was already prepared for this, but saw him let go of the long knife, enduring the severe pain of his wrist being pierced, and with blood splashing, he directly grabbed the oil-paper umbrella to use his strength, and his body sank, but A sudden kick from the upside down golden hook hit the Vine Snake from bottom to top.
The next moment, the Vine Snake flew upside down for several feet like a kite with its string broken, but it used the vine whip to hook a bulge in the eaves in time to relieve its strength.
She used the vine whip to perform a beautiful maneuver in the rain and stood on the eaves, with a bit of astonishment in her eyes.
Human kicking skills were of course nothing to her, they could only cause her a little pain...but in her long life, she had never seen a human being able to fight Pokémon reciprocally. ……Huh? It seems that it is not impossible, Xu Qiansu often fights against Qilulian...
This is 'skill'. Human beings in this era have not climbed the technology tree very much, but they have been able to fight with Pokémon for so many years. In addition to being cunning and cunning, and good at using strategies, they must also be able to face Pokémon head-on. The ability to fight.
But at the same moment, the coir raincoat guest jumped up in the air and kicked away the vine snake. Xu Qiansu took a step forward and struck a powerful straight punch on the heart of the coir raincoat guest who was trying to avoid him.
boom!
The coir raincoat behind the coir raincoat swelled up and flew out violently, hitting a green wall.
"Cough!" The coir raincoat couldn't help but cough out all the air in his lungs.
There is no such thing as internal strength in this world, so even if Xu Qiansu's martial arts is not as good as that of the coir raincoat guest, this punch is not that comfortable for the coir raincoat guest. What's more, his little green snake was kicked and he had already given up. Xu Qiansu felt angry.
Therefore, he stepped slightly, turned around and kicked the long knife that was still falling after the coir raincoat guest let go.
stop!
The long knife pierced the rain curtain and shot towards the man in raincoat.
Everything happened at the same time, in the blink of an eye.
However, he saw the man in raincoat suddenly hit the ground with his footsteps, and his body jumped up. Then he stepped slightly and turned around. The long knife could only pierce the skirt of his waist, but he reached back and grabbed the knife. Handle, once again rushed towards Xu Qiansu.
"Ugh!" Zoroa revealed his little head from Xu Qiansu's lapel, his eyes were fierce, he opened his mouth to reveal his fangs, his breasts were fierce... The Vine Snake was kicked away, but there was still it!
Although Zoroa has grown so big that it has rarely defeated anyone, but at this moment it feels that if this human dares to take a few steps forward, it will definitely bite his neck off.
Under the heavy rain, Xu Qiansu took a breath and stared closely at the cloaked man striding towards him, but saw no movement.
There was a look of astonishment in Lin Yi Ke's eyes, and the strength in his hands was slightly lighter... After all, his purpose was not to kill Xu Qiansu, but to capture him alive in Zhuqing Village and hand him over to Chiri.
The vine snake stood on the eaves, stretched out its small hands, and its sharp leaves began to gather...
Phew!
Suddenly, blood splashed, and in the rainstorm, a line of blood appeared on the wrist of the coir raincoat guest.
The Vine Snake was slightly startled, she hadn't shot out the leaves yet...
The coir raincoat's eyes narrowed, and before the sharp pain in his arm could be felt, the next moment, the heavy rain all around him suddenly condensed into dozens of water blades, sealing off all the surroundings of the coir raincoat, and was about to pierce directly into the coir raincoat. everywhere around him, turning him into a blood hedgehog.
"Cattleya." Xu Qiansu suddenly spoke.
"Hmm -" With a deliberately prolonged nasal sound, Cattleya suddenly appeared behind Xu Qiansu like a ghost, as if she was being carried on his back, she put her little face on his shoulder, blinked, and... She looked up at him and asked in a soft and lazy voice, pretending to be innocent: "Aren't you going to kill him?"
Raindrops penetrated her body, and Cattleya's delicate and pretty face took on a somewhat inexplicable sense of beauty in the rainy night, but anyone could see the coldness in it.
Cattleya is low-key and has a lazy temperament. She always sleeps in her villa. Apart from Zhulan, few people understand her... and Xu Qiansu is one of them.
She is a master who kills without blinking an eye... This can be seen from the fact that Haas Cobb's supervisor just thought of revenge on Xu Qiansu in front of Cattleya, and was casually crushed to death by her.
Snap————
The cloaked man's right hand holding the knife fell weakly onto the water.
The vine snake whip hooked up and sat on Xu Qiansu's shoulder again. He turned his head and looked at the coir raincoat guest who had been blocked by the water blade and could only stay where he was.
Xu Qiansu didn't reply. He took a few steps forward, looked at the coir raincoat guest, and asked in a low voice: "Who sent you here?"
Xu Qiansu had been thinking about finding his little cub all day, and he had never done anything public in Xicui. How could someone come to assassinate him?
The severe pain of the severed hand made the coifed man gasp for air. He was silent for a while, then smiled softly and said: "I accepted a job with the Galaxy Team to arrest travelers who have settled in Qunqing Town within seven days. The traveler's dress is significantly different from that of the Xicui area... He doesn't know your identity, so he uses such a general statement."
Xu Qian frowned. He had no enmity with Team Galaxy, so why did he issue such an order? Could it be that you have found the wrong person?
"Within seven days, the only person who meets the conditions is you..." The coryclothes customer pursed his lips, swallowed the blood foam in his throat, smiled bitterly, and then said slowly: "I should be just a cover, he must be the sect." People are following me to get information about you... Now that the news has been revealed, the person he sends next time will not be an ordinary human like me."
Cattleya raised her eyebrows slightly, and with a slight pinch, a big-mouthed bat appeared out of thin air in front of her. It couldn't help struggling, and just when she was about to make a sharp cry, it was knocked unconscious by a few whips from the vine snake... But if the other party If the purpose is really Xu Qiansu, then it is obviously impossible to send only one big-mouthed bat...
As Yu Yi Ke said, the news may have really spread.
"What are the physical characteristics of that person?" Xu Qiansu rubbed his eyebrows and continued to ask.
"...Blue hair, middle-aged man, every move gives people an extremely calm and reliable feeling."
"Chiri..." Xu Qiansu pursed her lips and pondered for a moment, then murmured to herself.
As Cattleya said, she came through the back side of the world, and Chi Ri, who was also on the back side of the world, came to Xicui for some reason... but it can barely be explained.
Although Xu Qiansu didn't know Chi Ri's purpose, he undoubtedly showed his hostility... The two of them would definitely not be able to get along, and they just happened to avenge their previous enmity together.
The reason why Xu Qiansu came to Xicui was entirely because the remnants of Team Galaxy tried to rescue Chiri from the back of the world, but now Xu Qiansu and Chiri are in Xicui... What an unpredictable fate.
He shook his head gently, swept away the distracting thoughts in his mind, glanced at the coir raincoat guest, and sorted out the cause and effect.
If it were Xu Qiansu, he would do anything to keep his Pokémon alive for a few more days...
"Aren't you going to kill him?" Cattleya asked again, raising her hand slightly, and she threw the big-mouthed bat somewhere.
"There is no point in killing a chess piece that is being used." Xu Qiansu shook his head gently. He was not a soft-hearted person, and he killed many people, but at this moment... there was no need to kill him after all.
"This fucking world is Jianghu." Xu Qiansu cursed secretly, then subconsciously turned her head to look at Cattleya, suddenly remembering the scene when she and Cattleya first met.
"It's our first time meeting, what's wrong?" Cattleya tilted her head slightly, her voice was clear and clear... She was reading minds again.
"When you came by boat at that time, you were a bit of a quack."
"Jianghuqi? What do you mean? What is Jianghu?" Cattleya kept asking questions like a curious baby.
"It just means you looked good back then." Xu Qiansu replied casually.
Cattleya glanced sideways at Xu Qiansu and stopped talking.
Xu Qiansu pondered for a moment, thinking about whether to pretend to be arrested by the coir raincoat guest, wait until Zhuqing Village, and then kill Chi Ri directly...but in the end she rejected this idea.
With Chiri's ability and character, Team Galaxy and even Zhuqing Village may be under his control at this moment. Cattleya's superpower has not recovered, and she only found the Vine Snake... her combat power is seriously insufficient. The risk is too great.
Xu Qiansu raised his hand slightly to indicate that the coir raincoat guest could leave. He said slowly: "Please accompany the butterfly hunting until the last moment. Don't take on this kind of job again in the future."
The coir raincoat guest hesitated for a moment, then knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Qiansu, "I owe you a life. After it leaves, I will look for you to repay the favor."
Xu Qiansu waved her hand, signaling the coir raincoat guest to leave quickly... He was willing to let her go, but that didn't mean Cattleya was willing.
The man in raincoat covered his broken arm, staggered and disappeared into the rainy night.
Cattleya frowned slightly and raised her hand gently, and Xu Qiansu immediately held her wrist and said, "Let him go."
Cattleya glanced at Xu Qiansu, then hummed and turned her face away, "I'm hungry."
Xu Qiansu chuckled lightly and held up the oil-paper umbrella with two holes in it for Cattleya.
Although there were holes in the umbrella, no raindrops could be seen through it.
The next day.
The showers have dispersed, the sky is blue, and the clouds look like they have been painted with a brush.
Vulpix, who was sheltering from the rain in a tree hole, emerged from it, yawned cutely, stepped on the muddy ground after the rain, and walked slowly.
Where are you going? She doesn't know either.
Without Xu Qiansu, she felt no more joy or sorrow in this life.
After the girl died at that time, Vulpix could at least live for the promise, take action for that promise, and cross the water... But now, the only purpose of her life is to live until 1,000 years later... so The goal of Husheng made her feel a little confused...
How to spend these long 1,000 years... to find the Fire Stone to evolve?
What about after evolution?
Thinking of this, Vulpix felt a great sense of loneliness... The little marsupial once felt lonely like she was the only one left in the world, and now Vulpix seemed to feel the same way.
"Woo..."
She lowered her little head and stepped forward with her little paws.
The most important thing is that if it weren't for her, Xu Qiansu wouldn't have endured so much pain...
In fact, the Six-Tails didn't even know if Xu Qiansu was still alive... The fire was so big at that time that a human body must not have been able to survive it... And no Nine-Tails came out to save Susu at that time...
He once again returned to 1,000 years ago. If he also came to Xicui... would he beat and scold him when he saw it?
It doesn’t matter if he beats or scolds himself, as long as he is still alive, as long as he doesn’t want to lose himself...
Vulpix sniffed and tried not to shed tears.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, she seemed to have come to a cliff. As far as she could see, the sky was clear, the sea was blue, and white petals were fluttering in the wind, but Vulpix couldn't see anything.
"Uh-huh~" The sound of hunting swallowtail butterflies could be heard faintly in my ears.
Vulpix was silent for a while, then looked over after hearing the sound, and saw a human wearing a raincoat and missing an arm sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff. A hunting swallowtail butterfly was flying around him, looking very happy... …
Oh, it's the trainer and his Pokémon...
Vulpix looked away, this scene made her feel even more sad.
Hunting swallowtails can also accompany its trainer to watch the sea, but he may have killed his trainer with his own hands... Such a comparison made Vulpix finally couldn't help burying his head and sobbing.
"Huh?" The hunting swallowtail butterfly heard the noise and looked over. It waved its gorgeous wings and flew in front of Vulpix, looking at the little fox doubtfully.
It landed next to Vulpix, looked at the sobbing Vulpix, and asked curiously: "I'm almost dead and I haven't cried yet. Why are you crying?"
"I can't find my trainer..."
"What is a trainer...?"
"That's the human next to you."
"Oh...I don't know why you call him a trainer, but I have always treated him as a family member."
"Me too……"
"Your family can't be found... Where are they missing? Maybe I can help you look for them."
"1000 years later."
"Oh, 1,000 years from now...I heard that you can live for 1,000 years after evolution. There is still a chance...but I can't, and I'm going to die." Hunting Swallowtail smiled, with a bit of envy in her eyes.
"At least, you still have him by your side." Vulpix would rather be a hunting swallowtail butterfly. Even if she is about to die, she also hopes that Xu Qiansu can be by her side in the end.
"It would be great if I were you..." But the hunting swallowtail butterfly didn't think so. It would rather be Vulpix... It was silent for a while and whispered: "If I had a lifespan as long as yours, I wouldn't have to I’m worried that he’s in so much pain.”
"What do you mean?" Vulpix looked up at it in confusion.
"I was about to die, but he carried me on his back through the forest, across the creek, and over the mountains, traveling thousands of miles to seek medical advice... He suffered a lot, fought with people, and almost died. Fate..." The voice of Hunting Swallowtail began to choke,
"He really suffered a lot, and I don't want him to be like this... If I had a lifespan as long as yours, he wouldn't have to work so hard... It would be nice if I could live a little longer... I don't want to die, nor do I want to He is sad..."
Vulpix was silent for a moment, and she said: "If you can live for a long time, you have to watch him die with your own eyes."
"That doesn't matter, it's better than him watching me slowly die, powerless and full of pain!"
Vulpix looked at the hunting swallowtail butterfly, and then suddenly opened her mouth and bit her front paw, a little blood seeping out, and then a mysterious and mysterious aura emerged from the wound, restoring her.
Vulpix has sensed this kind of aura countless times.
She tried her best to control the aura and spread it around...but she couldn't control the power of the Phoenix King.
Vulpix refused to accept it, so he directly used his magical power to condense his own blood and stuffed it into the mouth of the hunting swallowtail butterfly.
The remaining trace of the Phoenix King's power in the blood does not have the effect of prolonging life... but it can slightly activate the remaining vitality in Hunting Papilio's body, allowing her to live to the limit of this body's lifespan... allowing Hunting Papilio to live a few more years. Days, or ten days?
Vulpix doesn't know...but after all, it is useful...
"You..." The man in a raincoat with one arm missing walked slowly over. He was about to say something, but the tip of his nose twitched slightly and he was slightly startled. "How come you smell like him? You Is it his Pokémon?”
"Huh?" Vulpix was stunned and turned his head to look at the coir raincoat guest.
Hu————Hu——————
Vulpix was no longer walking through the forest. She was running and running, panting and exhausted, but her heart was racing.
snap——
Because she was too eager, she tripped and fell to the ground and rolled several times.
She got up, not caring, and continued to run, run, and run. Finally, when the sky was dark and night fell, she saw a town surrounded by high walls.
Vulpix climbed up the high wall without hesitation, took advantage of the cover of night, crossed the wall, jumped onto the low eaves, found a direction, and stood on a low bungalow with several rises and falls.
Vulpix looked around a few times, recalled what the raincoater said, and confirmed that he was not going wrong.
Blood surged all over her body, and she felt her heart pounding, and the only sound left in her ears was the sound of her own heartbeat.
Vulpix took a deep breath. There were many people on the street, so she landed in the backyard. She raised her face and looked at the wooden window. She used her hind legs to push slightly, then jumped up to the window edge and looked into the house.
The warm yellow lights swayed slightly in the evening breeze as she took off.
Behind a blue curtain, there seemed to be some lively sounds, they must be eating...
Two Pokémon voices, a female voice, and a male voice...
Vulpix jumped into the room from the window, stepped on the bed on the tatami, then took a deep breath, and cautiously took steps, one small step, one small step towards the blue curtain.
Suddenly, the curtain was opened. Xu Qiansu heard a sound and looked with some caution in her eyes, but saw nothing.
He was slightly startled, lowered his eyes, and then met the eyes of Vulpix, who was looking up at him.
"Ugh!?" Vulpix didn't know why, but subconsciously took a step back. Is it disbelief? Or guilt?
Vulpix doesn't know either...
"...Vulpix?" Xu Qiansu was stunned, then stretched out her hands, her voice slightly trembling, "Vulpix, come on..."
"Woo?"
Before Vulpix could react, Xu Qiansu had already strode into his arms and hugged her. Thousands of words came to his mind, but he pursed his lips and asked in a low voice: "...Are you hungry?"
The tip of his nose was filled with a familiar scent. After hearing this, Vulpix was silent for a while, and then suddenly started to cry loudly.
Whether he blamed himself or didn't dare to face Xu Qiansu... At this moment, Vulpix had only one thought in his mind.
It's great that you're still alive.
————Pokémon Research Notes——————
"Vulpix...thank you for being alive."
…………………………………………………………………………
The troubled end of 2022 has finally passed.
Nothing much to say.
Like this chapter...it's great that we are all still alive.
