Chapter 532: Budding Curiosity
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for a father and son in the Okoya Forest.
In the past ten years, Koko, who was raised by his father as a descendant, has always believed that he is also a Salud, but looks a little different.
Like Salud, he lives in the jungle, shuttles through the branches of trees, wraps vines around his arms to move at high speed, and survives only on tree fruits.
What else can this be but Salud?
However, as he grows older and wiser, Koko gradually begins to doubt his own existence.
Why can't he catalyze plant growth like his father?
Why can't he learn some specific moves?
Is he a Salud...
The seed of curiosity took root in his heart, and finally grew after meeting Xiao Huang and Chris today.
Even if Koko is uneducated, he can always see that he looks different from his father and his people, and is closer to those two "humans".
Abba had always stopped him from approaching human cities, saying that the humans who had gradually taken root on the island in recent years had bad intentions and had invaded the territories and living spaces of many local elves.
However, after meeting Little Yellow, Coco felt that humans were not as dangerous, fickle and unreasonable as rumored.
Perhaps... I could go and see what other humans looked like with my own eyes?
After being taken back to the depths of the jungle by his parents, this thought lingered in Coco's mind, and became stronger as time went by.
Every time he closed his eyes, the figures of Little Yellow and Chris would appear in front of him.
That's right, there were so many elves in the forest that knew each other, so there was no reason not to make friends with elves like "humans".
Thinking of this, Coco subconsciously looked in the direction where Abba usually rested, and found that he had disappeared.
His inner curiosity about humans became increasingly difficult to suppress.
It's time to go to Milifa City.
Just take a look!
…
After seeing Chris suddenly appear in front of him, Salud suspected that it was related to the reason why Coco appeared that year, so he unknowingly walked to the former base of her parents to seek answers.
According to legend, the Salud clan also suddenly appeared in the Okoya Forest like this...
…
At the same time, Xiaozhi and his group, who finally returned to the city, bid farewell to Researcher Jialian and went to the Pokémon Center in Milifa City.
"Suddenly from the oak forest to the Lantier area, let's go to Professor Oak to ask what's going on!"
However, before Xiaozhi, Oak and Hanako could report their safety, Xiaoxia hurriedly grabbed her.
He looked at her in confusion, but found that she was unusually serious.
"Xiaozhi, wait a moment and take a closer look at today's date on the illustration." Xiaoxia reminded, and she had already noticed it when she communicated with Jialian before.
Not only did their coordinates change in space, but also in time.
Xiaozhi, who was confused, opened the illustration and noticed the biggest abnormality.
"Today is... the summer of two years later!?"
"Pikachu!?"
Seeing the other party's surprised look, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang looked at each other helplessly. Sure enough, the other party didn't even notice the change in temperature and season.
After all, it is a person who wears short sleeves all year round, even in the ice and snow.
Xiaogang: Actually, Xiaoxia, you are almost the same, even more outrageous than Xiaozhi.
After being shocked for a long time, Xiaozhi suddenly reacted: "I have to see if Qinglu and others have won the league championship!"
Xiaoxia: "?"
Is this the point?
Not long after, Xiaozhi searched for the current champion of the league through the computer provided by the center.
The Kanto region has been successfully merged. The previous champion was a stranger named Red, and the current champion is the Dragon Messenger Adu, which means that Qinglu and Yezi have not yet broken through the Kanto Alliance.
The champion of the Hoenn region has changed. The previous champion resigned voluntarily. The current champion is the top coordination master Mikoli. Zhouyou obviously failed to break through the Hoenn Alliance.
There is basically no change in other regions, but in the Kalos region where Serena is, Kalune successfully ascended from the Four Heavenly Kings to the champion position.
Now Xiaozhi is relieved... He still has a great chance to catch up with them!
"Damn, where is Miss Kona? Why doesn't she consider herself one of the Four Heavenly Kings... Ahem, stop gossiping, we don't have time to care about these."
Xiaoxia still knows the key points.
There shouldn't be two identical people at the same time, and something bad might happen if the two meet.
For this reason, it's best not to contact yourself in this era.
"And have you noticed that the Lantier region is far away from Guandu." Xiaogang, who has been observing carefully since just now, added, "This means that we may not be able to return to the oak forest in a short time."
There is no legend of the forest god in the Okoya Forest, nor is there any ancestral hall, so it is probably impossible to return to the city two years ago from here.
"Then what should we do?" Xiaozhi looked at the two external brains in confusion.
Xiaogang looked up local anecdotes on the computer for a while and noticed a strange clue: "Legend has it that there is an elf called 'Salud' in the Okoya Forest. They are mysterious and unpredictable, just like they suddenly appeared in the forest one day, so they are regarded as phantom elves."
The people who suddenly appeared here and the elves sounded related.
If the reason for the appearance of Salud could be investigated, perhaps we could further understand our current situation.
"And it is also important to find the other few people." Xiaoxia added seriously, "More people are safer, and Xiaohuang seems to be good at getting close to elves."
Xiaozhi had asked Pidgeot to investigate in the air before, but there has been no result so far.
The center of the forest was very foggy, and it was difficult to find specific things even with the sharpest eyes at night.
Xiaogang nodded, this kind of thing can't be rushed.
"Xiaoxia, stay at the Pokémon Center. As long as they come out, they will definitely come here for supplies. I'll go to the police station to ask Junsha for help and see if I can find them..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiaoxia: "I'll go find Junsha, you stay here."
Those who know the reason know that if Xiaogang is released, he might get lost in the streets full of big sisters.
"What about me?" Xiaozhi pointed at himself, why doesn't he have to do anything.
Xiaoxia suggested: "Xiaozhi, you and Pikachu can just go out and walk around for a few times."
Xiaogang seconded: "Indeed."
"Pika."
Even Pikachu nodded.
After all... this is Xiaozhi!
Let him go out and walk around for a few times, maybe he can pick up all the lost people?
Or maybe he can pick up a seriously injured Celebi?
Xiaozhi: "???"
