Chapter 259 Only Children Make Choices (7.2k, 79)

Amid the long whistle, the night gradually enveloped the East Padia Sea.

After two days of continuous travel, especially the series of events that happened this afternoon, everyone and the elves felt exhausted physically and mentally.

After dinner, no elves were in the mood to play anymore, and everyone returned to their rooms to prepare to spend the last night on the sea.

Xia Chen lay on the bed, creating a profile of his eighth elf on his mobile phone Rotom.

After chatting with Gulton, Xia Chen realized that he had some misunderstandings about it before.

At the beginning, the strong contrast and sense of rivalry between it and Milton made Xia Chen think that these two elves and Laogu and Laogai were the same level of mythical beasts.

Now it seems that it is not entirely true.

At least, Laogu and Laogai have no tribe, and Gulton does not have such a strong sense of oppression as these mythical beasts.

You know, whether in games or animations, the cover of these generations is very high.

Either it can create the land and the ocean, or it controls time and space, life and death, or it represents the true ideal.

And this big lizard that he just tricked into joining the team.

Xia Chen glanced at Gulden, who was sleeping soundly in the corner of the room, and the pheasant feathers on his head were still swaying with his breathing. He really couldn't think of a reason why it could become the highest-level beast in the Padiya region.

However, it's not bad to be low-profile. If you really want to subdue the powerful beast that can call the wind and rain and destroy the world at any time, whether Xia Chen can suppress it is another matter. The relationship between the trainer and the elves feels a little weird.

Gulden is just right. Not only does it have great potential, but it can also carry itself to the sky and into the ground. It is a perfect land and air two-in-one mount partner.

Most importantly, it has telepathic ability and can act as a translator. From now on, there will be no obstacles to communication between him and the elves.

Of course, this also requires Gulden not to do that kind of small trick of random translation.

No matter how you think about it, Gulden is a perfect elf that he needs most at this stage.

…………

Although Gul'ton has many advantages, Xia Chen still has things to worry about.

The most important thing is naturally the problem of strength recovery.

At its peak, its strength is not comparable to that of the original old Gu Lao Gai, but it is definitely in the upper middle level among the legendary elves.

But now. It has been seriously injured yesterday. If it rests well, it will not be a problem to spend a few years to return to its peak state.

Don't think that a few years is a long time. For an elf like Gul'ton with a very long lifespan, a few years is just a blink of an eye.

But today, it carried a weak body and forced a fight with Milton.

Not only did its strength drop from the king level to the elite level, but how long it would take to recover and to what extent it could recover is also a problem.

However, things are in the hands of people. His own elves have always been "skilled", and maybe they can help Gul'ton's recovery?

While thinking, Xia Chen recorded Gul'ton's information on his mobile phone Rotom.

Most of them come from Gulden's own account. After returning to Brewing Light City, it is still necessary to conduct a comprehensive physical examination on it.

The training plan is not completely unnecessary.

Although Gulden has fallen from its peak state, it does not mean that it is excellent in the field of elf battles.

Maybe it is like Xia Chen who has just transformed into Deoxys, with energy and brute force, but has not mastered much skills.

However, Xia Chen thinks that this is just his wishful thinking. It is not certain whether Gulden has the intention to fight elves.

Therefore, the training plan is pending.

First, go back to Brewing Light City to check Gulden, and then formulate a complete strength recovery plan.

After finishing these bits and pieces, the time is almost eleven o'clock in the evening.

Although the room is still dimly lit, most of the elves who are tired for a day have fallen asleep, only Gardevoir is still yawning with sleepiness.

For some reason, she always waits for Xia Chen to fall asleep before going to bed.

Put away the mobile phone Rotom, turn off the wall lamp, and only the starry sky is reflected on the sea in the room, and the little starlight is reflected from the porthole.

After covering the quilt for Xianbu and gently moving the sticky baby who fell asleep on his stomach, Xia Chen simply washed and prepared to go to bed.

But at this moment, the sleeping Gulton suddenly opened his eyes, got up and walked to the window, looking outside vigilantly.

Xia Chen was no longer sleepy, he frowned and asked: "Gulton, what's wrong? That guy is back again?"

Deoxys fell into a deep sleep again after he finished his transformation, and he couldn't wake up no matter how he called.

If it was really Milton who killed a sneak attack, it would be really bad.

Fortunately, Milton shook his head, Xia Chen calmed down, walked to the window and looked out, and after seeing the object of Milton's surprise, his heart, which had just calmed down, beat again.

Because the elf outside the porthole was a fierce land shark.

To be precise, it was a Land Shark carrying a blonde beauty in a black windbreaker.

…………

"Sister Zhulan, why are you here?"

On the deck, Xia Chen, wearing only a thin nightgown, looked at Shirona, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, with a face full of surprise.

After discovering Shirona's sudden arrival, he ran out in a hurry without even having time to put on his coat.

However, there was no joy on Shirona's face for reuniting with Xia Chen. The frost on her face was like the ice on the Silver Mountain that had not melted for thousands of years.

Xia Chen shivered suddenly, and he said embarrassedly: "The sea breeze is quite cold at night. Let's go in and talk?"

Shirona did not reply, but walked into the cabin calmly. Liebite Land Shark glanced at Xia Chen with pity and followed him in.

Xia Chen followed closely with a bitter face.

Ten minutes later, in the dining room of the cabin.

Xia Chen placed two plates of steaming seafood fried rice, one large and one small, on the table, and then sat opposite them.

"I made a simple dish, you eat first."

Shirona still said nothing, but Liebite Land Shark let out a light roar to show his gratitude, and then buried his head in eating.

After flying from Sinnoh to Padiya for ten consecutive hours, even Shirona's trump card Liebite Land Shark was a little exhausted at this moment.

Although Sirona didn't say anything, she didn't refuse the fragrant seafood fried rice in front of her.

She was never the kind of fool who would punish herself for other people's mistakes. Whoever made her unhappy, she would naturally make him unhappy.

But she hadn't eaten for a long time and was a little hungry.

Picking up the spoon, Sirona enjoyed the taste she had missed for a long time in small sips.

Seeing that Sirona didn't refuse, Xia Chen smiled, then ran to the kitchen to bring out a pot of freshly heated chicken soup, and served Sirona a bowl of it very servilely and handed it to her.

"The fried rice is dry, don't choke."

Sirona took it without courtesy, blew a breath and drank it slowly.

Although she looked elegant and unhurried, in less than ten minutes, the plates and bowls in front of Sirona were already clean.

"Shall I make some more?"

Xia Chen asked tentatively.

"No, I'm full."

Sirona finally spoke, her tone was calm, and no special emotions could be heard.

But the more this happened, the more frightened Xia Chen became. He had never seen Sister Zhulan like this since he met her.

So Xia Chen decided to surrender himself to reduce his sentence.

"Sister Zhulan, I was wrong!"

In any case, the attitude of sincerely admitting mistakes should be shown first.

If it were an ordinary woman, she would ask "what's wrong" with a serious face at this moment, but is Shirona an ordinary woman?

Obviously not.

She said indifferently: "Is there anything wrong? I don't think you did anything wrong. After discovering the special situation, you reported it to the alliance in time, actively cooperated with the implementation of the work, and finally solved the incident. Everyone is happy. Where is the mistake?"

Xia Chen: "."

Sister Zhulan, why don't you play by the rules?

The words that wanted to explain were blocked in his mouth, and Xia Chen hesitated and didn't know what to say.

At this time, anything he said would be wrong.

…………

Xia Chen did not speak, but Shirona, with her arms crossed, suddenly asked: "I have been the champion of Sinnoh for more than a year. Do you know how many accidental deaths of trainers have occurred during this period?"

The total population of Sinnoh is more than 100 million, and there are about 30 million registered trainers. Excluding those who keep a few pet elves for fun in most cities, there are at least 10 million professional trainers.

So Xia Chen weakly guessed: "10,000?"

The death rate of one in a thousand is already a very scary number.

Shirona shook her head, "Only a few hundred cases were reported to the league."

Xia Chen was surprised. There are more than a few hundred deaths in car accidents every year, right?

Of course, he did not mean to despise life, but he did not understand the meaning of Sister Zhulan's quoting this data.

Shirona changed the subject, "But, in less than two years, there are as many as 30,000 missing trainers."

Xia Chen was silent. Missing can basically be sentenced to death.

There are too many unexplored places in this world. Who knows which rift those people fell into, or whether they were buried in a forest and became natural nutrients?

"For the alliance, this is really an insignificant matter, because the number of registered trainers in the Sinnoh Alliance has not only not declined, but has even gradually increased year by year. Some people are missing and some people join. This is really a normal thing."

Her tone was indifferent as if she was narrating a matter of course, although it was true. No one forced the trainers to run to the dangerous wilderness. Whether they died or disappeared, who could be blamed?

Xia Chen's heart was slightly throbbing, because his parents also disappeared three years ago. The reason seemed to be engaged in a certain research.

"It seems that you have thought of something, right?"

Xia Chen looked up and looked directly into Shirona's eyes.

The ice melted, and in the water-like eyes, there was anger, worry, fear, and some inexplicable things.

Xia Chen suddenly smiled.

Shirona frowned, and the anger in her eyes became even worse, "What are you laughing at?"

Xia Chen replied honestly: "I was wondering how someone could be so beautiful when angry."

Shirona chuckled, "It's no use saying this to me, you should say it to the little girl inside."

Xia Chen's face froze.

This sister is really stubborn. But I'm telling the truth.

Although she said so, Shirona's face was visibly relieved. She suddenly said: "I'm hungry again."

Xia Chen smiled: "What do you want to eat? I'll make it."

"Whatever."

"Then make another plate of seafood fried rice?"

"I'm tired of it."

". Then make a bowl of noodles?"

"I don't want to eat."

".Then what do you want to eat?"

"casual."

"."

…………

After suffering for a while, Xia Chen finally went to the kitchen to cook a pot of seafood porridge.

Let Aiguan waiter control the fire in the kitchen, Xia Chen sat back on the table and chatted with Sirona.

They had just been busy getting angry and apologizing, and the two people who had reunited after a long separation did not have a good time to reminisce about the past.

"Sister Zhulan, you didn't come here from Sinnoh, did you?"

Sirona rolled her eyes angrily, "What else?"

"Thank you for your hard work, I asked you to fly all the way here."

Xia Chen's tone was quite distressed.

Sinnoh and Padia are far apart, and it takes seven or eight hours to fly by plane, but Sirona came directly on the Biting Land Shark.

You know, biting a land shark is not as comfortable as an airplane.

Although the biting land shark can use energy to form a protective cover to block the flowing air during high-speed flight, the overall riding experience is definitely still poor.

A short trip of half an hour is okay, but nearly ten hours. That can't be called a journey that is tiring, it is simply torture.

Sirona shook her head. She has been practicing and exploring ruins outside all year round. This hard work is nothing.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. What happened to the elf that you tried your best to save?"

What do you mean by risking your life to save her? She was obviously the one who was shot, and she is still sarcastic. She is really a stingy woman.

Xia Chen complained in his heart and said: "You are telling me the same story, Leton. It may be because he was seriously injured twice in a row and is now in a state of limited strength. After all, the relationship is privately decided for life."

Strictly speaking, the Poké Ball that conquered Guluton was still owned by someone else. In a legal sense, Xia Chen was a little yellow guy who wanted to be awesome at the Zero Research Institute.

Sirona raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Have you conquered it?"

After watching the live broadcast on Liebite Lusha, she saw the [Secret Battle] and naturally knew that they were real legendary elves.

How long has it been since I heard this happen?

Humans and elves have coexisted for so many years. Conquering the legendary elves is not, strictly speaking, it should be "reaching a contract with the legendary elves". This kind of thing has happened a lot.

These human beings are called divine beast users. There are several kinds of divine beast users recorded in history books, including Suicune, Three Divine Birds, Darkrai, and Martial Arts Bear Master.

But the last time a divine beast appeared was a hundred years ago.

If nothing else, Xia Chen is the first known divine beast user in the 21st century.

She thought of another legendary elf that appeared today, and suddenly asked: "By the way, where is the legendary elf that saved you? Is it related to you too?"

Xia Chen gave the same explanation, "It's called Deoxys. It came to the earth following a meteorite from outer space. I once saved it."

However, these words could deceive Qishu, but they could not deceive Sirona.

She looked at Xia Chen suspiciously, "Is this the only way? I always feel like you are hiding something."

Xia Chen thought for a while and said, "Yes, the reason is a bit scary. Do you want to know? If you want to, I will tell you."

Although Sirona was completely trustworthy, after all, it was a horrifying thing like a person turning into an elf. Xia Chen didn't want to scare others unless necessary.

"Forget it, I'm not interested."

Sirona shook her head understandingly, and then asked: "Is the porridge ready?"

Xia Chen smiled gratefully at Sirona and replied: "That's almost it. I'll go take a look."

After a while, he came out with a pot of fragrant and piping hot porridge.

It was already very late at night, and Xia Chen was also a little hungry. The two of them filled a bowl each and chatted while drinking.

In the dim restaurant, steaming heat slowly floated between the two of them.

…………

I don't know if it was the sequelae of transforming into Deoxys yesterday, but Xia Chen fell asleep for a long time.

When he woke up naturally and refreshed, the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the porthole window.

Xia Chen rubbed his sleepy eyes and said drowsily: "What time is it, Gardevoir, have you arrived in Niangguang City? Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Sana."

Gardevoir's voice was a bit strange, no, to be precise, the air was a bit strange.

Xia Chen suddenly regained consciousness with a start, and sat up like a carp.

Looking around, he finally understood the reason for the strange air.

In the room, Sirona stood by the porthole and looked leisurely at the sunset outside the window.

On the other side, Mingyi was sitting on the sofa next to the bed, holding Senbu and scrolling through her phone.

There seemed to be no communication between the two.

Seeing Xia Chen finally getting up, they simultaneously turned to look at this only intersection.

When their eyes met, Xia Chen's body stiffened slightly, and then he fell onto the soft mattress.

He suddenly felt sleepy again.

"Eat something when you get up. I haven't eaten for almost half a day."

The one who can speak in this tone is naturally Sirona.

She seemed to be back to the state she had just met last night, and there was no emotion in her tone.

"Would you like porridge? I'll let the stewardess warm it up for you?"

Perhaps due to some kind of pressure, Mingyi's tone was not as lively as usual.

The sudden arrival of Shura Field made Xia Chen panic.

He was so tired last night that he temporarily forgot about the scene that was bound to happen the next day.

His brain was running rapidly, and he wished he could no longer turn into Deoxys to increase his thinking speed.

Unfortunately, he couldn't, so he chose to run away!

Escape is shameful but useful.

Xia Chen quickly stood up and ran out of the suffocating room, leaving only a farewell message.

"Don't bother the waiter, I'll do it myself."

In the living room of the cabin, Qishu was leisurely holding the electric belly frog and watching TV.

Seeing Xia Chen escaping from the room in embarrassment, she said hello in a rather wicked way, "Finally got up? Let me interview you, how are you feeling at this moment?"

Ignoring Qishu's teasing, Xia Chen asked her about the situation, "Can you tell me what happened between them?"

Qishu poked his chin with his finger and recalled: "Probably. In the morning, Mingyi showed some surprise, and then there was a pretentious friendly exchange? Oh, by the way, they stayed in the battleground in the cabin for a long time. "

Xia Chen broke into a cold sweat after listening to just a few words.

He poured himself a large glass of water, drank it all in one gulp, and continued to ask, "What next?"

Qishu shrugged, "Then? Then we'll wait for you to get up together. How about it? Are you happy?"

Xia Chen glared at Qishu, who was not bothered by the excitement, and rubbed his temples in distress.

"Hey, can you tell me what you think?"

Qishu smiled evilly and poked Xia Chen, eating melon online.

Xia Chen slapped her hand away speechlessly, "What do you think?"

"Hey, there's no point in pretending in front of me. Don't worry, I will never tell them."

The strange tree is like a demon who is good at tempting humans to sell their souls.

Xia Chen thought for a while and asked, "What do you think I think?"

He suddenly wanted to know what others thought of him.

This question really stumped Qishu. She frowned and thought, and murmured to herself: "Well, it's hard to say. Let's talk about Mingyi. Judging from your performance in the past two days, you are definitely more than childhood sweethearts. As for Sirona, I have never seen her be so intimate with anyone of the opposite sex. If I were you, it would be hard for me to choose. No matter who I choose, it would be a pity to miss the other one. So what do you think? "

When Qishu looked up, Xia Chen had already gone into the kitchen to make food.

She snorted and muttered in a low voice: "Coward."

…………

Xia Chen, who usually finished his meal in about ten minutes, insisted on eating for nearly more than an hour today. By the time he finished his meal, it was already dark.

During this period of time, Sirona and Mingyi were in Xia Chen's room from beginning to end.

It was definitely impossible to say that the two of them had stayed alone for so long. As for what they had done or said, Xia Chen asked Xianbu, but she turned her head arrogantly and refused to tell.

In short, after dinner, Xia Chen and others disembarked from the [Dian Haiyan], which had been anchored in the port for almost a day. Ye Ci Guanguan had been waiting in Niangguang City for the whole day.

Although the Milton incident has ended, there are still many things to deal with, such as the most important issue of the resettlement of Milton.

In the Nianguang City Gym, Xia Chen and Ye Ci, the current champion of the Padia region, met for the first time.

"Mr. Xia Chen, a young hero, on behalf of the Padian Alliance, I would like to express my highest respect for your contribution to peace in this region."

Champion Yeci is a tall, dark-skinned woman with a serious face. She is about thirty years old and in the prime of life. She has made outstanding contributions to the development of the Padia region.

Compared to the other champion next to Xia Chen, Ye Ci seems to be more competent.

Xia Chen originally wanted to meet Ye Ci alone, but Sirona wanted to be with him. Although the superficial reason was that it was not polite to meet, Xia Chen felt that she should be willing to support him.

After all, there is no definite answer yet on the issue of Guluton.

After thanking Xia Chen, Yeci greeted the Sinnoh champion, "Nice to meet you, Champion Sirona. Welcome to Padia."

Sirona showed her most standard smile, "I am also very happy to see you, Champion Yeci, but I will not stay here for a long time. I will return to Sinnoh tomorrow. As a champion, I believe you should understand."

Yeci smiled knowingly, nodded and said, "Understood, please do as you please."

After the pleasantries, it’s time to get down to business.

Yeci turned to Xia Chen and said, "I have been watching the live broadcast. I'm sorry that you missed the best opportunity to escape because of my request."

If Ye Ci hadn't said that he should try his best to ensure the normal operation of the live broadcast, Xia Chen might have run away with Ming Yi and the others.

The Padian champion said this, and Xia Chen always had to respect others. He said: "I too underestimated Milton's strength. In short, the final result is good."

Yeci shook his head, "These are two different things. Thank you and I won't say any more apologies. I will apply to the alliance for matching rewards."

Xia Chen's heart moved slightly. This was a good time to make a request. He coughed lightly and said, "Since you said so, Champion Ci, I do have a request."

Yeci smiled and replied: "Please tell me, if we can do anything within a reasonable range, the alliance and I will never refuse."

Xia Chen solemnly said: "I want to conquer the Poke Ball that once conquered Guluton."

Yeci said in surprise: "You mean you want to conquer it? This requires more than just an elf ball."

Xia Chen understood what Ye Ci meant, and he explained: "Actually, after these two days of getting along, Gu Luton has agreed to become my partner."

This kind of lie can't be told, so Yeci nodded and said: "I understand, but you also know that Guluton's situation is a bit complicated. I need to communicate with the Zero Area Research Institute."

Xia Chen's face was bitter. He was most afraid of this kind of passing the buck. If the institute disagreed, wouldn't it be useless?

At this time, Shirona suddenly said: "Excuse me, Gulden and Milton appeared in the East Padilla Sea. In fact, it means that they have escaped the control of the Zero District Institute, right?"

…………

Xia Chen was shocked. Although this guess was reasonable, it would be a slap in the face of the Padilla Alliance if he said it at this time?

Why did Shirona suddenly become so aggressive?

The answer to this question can be figured out by thinking about it. She is playing the role of the bad guy who broke the window paper for Xia Chen.

If it were someone with a lower status, he would definitely not be qualified to say this. Only Shirona, who is also a champion, is qualified to say this.

But being qualified to say it does not mean that it is appropriate to say it.

Undoubtedly, Shirona has stepped in.

Ye Ci frowned slightly, and his eyes glanced back and forth between Xia Chen and Shirona thoughtfully.

She is not a champion with only strength. She has high emotional intelligence and IQ and has figured out Shirona's intention.

Shaking her head helplessly, Ye Ci said, "Well, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. The current control of the Zero District is indeed a bit bad. There are even a few other paradox species that have run out from the vicinity of Jinhui Town. The alliance is also a bit overwhelmed."

Shirona smiled and said, "Perhaps, handing Gulton to Xia Chen to take care of it can help you share your worries? At least in this way, it is within your knowledge, and you don't have to worry about it running away again."

Ye Ci did not comment, "Maybe. Anyway, I will try my best to help you, but the Zero District Research Institute is special in Padiya. I will try to reply to you about the communication tomorrow."

It can be seen that this is the limit of what Ye Ci can do, and Shirona, who got a satisfactory result, also put away her edge and stopped interrupting.

After the main event, the three talked about the handling of the follow-up of the incident and ended the meeting.

Xia Chen and Shirona left the Brewing Light Gym and returned to the hotel on the Brewing Light Tower next to it.

In the elevator, Xia Chen asked with some concern: "What you said just now, is it not good?"

Shirona smiled indifferently, "It doesn't matter if it's a small matter, and it doesn't matter even if I complain to the Sinnoh League. I've been complained more times than you think."

Xia Chen was speechless. According to her work attitude as a champion, it seemed to be the case.
