Chapter 31: Prelude to the Hongbo Conference (Dream of the Thorntail)
Because the grand competition in Hongbo Town was about to begin, Heimer prepared to set off immediately after packing his luggage at the hospital.
At this time, Lin Luo leaned against the door, looking at the flustered Heimer, she said with a smile.
Lin Luo: "Actually, there's no need to rush. After all, Hongbo Town is right next door, and the registration deadline for the Hongbo Conference is this evening, so we will definitely make it in time."
Chi Haimo: "Well, it is true, but I still want to get there earlier. By the way, Lin Luo, aren't you going to participate in this gorgeous competition?"
Lin Luo: "No, have you forgotten that I said before that I need to take a good rest for a while."
Chi Haimo: "Is that so? Then wish me good luck."
Lin Luo: "Well, I wish you good luck."
After completing the discharge procedures, Heimer set out for the Pokémon Center.
Lin Luo: "Be careful on the road!"
After hearing Lin Luo's words, Heimer turned back with a smile, waved to Lin Luo, and shouted to her.
Chi Haimo: "Well, I understand, don't worry."
Heimer quickly arrived at the Pokémon Center, took the Forest Lizard and their Poké Balls from Miss Joy, and came to the backyard of the Pokémon Center.
Chi Haimo: "Everyone, we are about to set off, let's go into the Poké Ball."
Heimer took out the Poké Ball and put everyone into it one by one.
But just when he was about to collect the stingrays, he found that he couldn't find her in the backyard.
So, we had to release the natural bird first.
Chi Haimo: "Natural Bird, I can't find the spiny-tailed insect, do you know where she is?"
Tianranque stared at Heimer expressionlessly, like a stone sculpture.
(By the way, as for the thorntails and the natural finches, I don’t know much about them because I have only been with them for a short time. I don’t understand what the natural finches are trying to express sometimes.)
Chi Haimo: "Um, natural bird?"
Natural tits: "Raj."
The natural sparrow jumped onto Helmer's shoulder, then raised his little wings and pointed in the direction of the tree in the yard.
Chi Haimo: "There?"
Heimer looked at the tree carefully and found the stingray hidden among the leaves.
Chi Haimo: "Spinytail, we should go now."
The stingray descended from the tree along the silk thread and landed in front of Heimer. Then she shook her body vigorously, as if she wanted to express something to Heimer.
(Ah, I don’t understand at all. Well, at a time like this, it is necessary.)
Chi Haimo: "Please, forest lizard."
With a flash of white light, the forest lizard appeared in front of Heimer.
Afterwards, with the help of the painting of the forest lizard, Heimer immediately understood what the spiny-tailed insect meant.
(It turns out that ever since I saw Xiaoyao hunting swallowtail butterflies last time, I have been full of longing for my future.)
Chi Haimo: "That's great, so you want me to help you train, right?"
After hearing what Heimer said, the spiny-tailed worm followed the silk thread to the ground and showed a slightly sad expression.
After some questioning by the forest lizard, he once again began to draw on the ground with the branch.
Through the painting of the forest lizard, Heimer finally understood the reason for the sadness of the spiny-tailed insect.
It turns out that Thornytail is a Pokémon that was abandoned by its trainer. The reason for being abandoned was that Thornytail could not evolve for a long time.
After reading about the experience of the spiny-tailed worm, Heimer hugged her with a little sadness.
Chi Haimo: "That's not your problem, you didn't do anything wrong."
When the stingtail worm heard what Heimer said, it lowered its head a little embarrassedly.
She called the forest lizard, and after communicating with it, the forest lizard started painting again.
Heimer put down the spiny-tailed insect and looked at the painting of the forest lizard carefully.
It turns out that after being abandoned, the spinytail worm met the natural sparrow in the nearby forest, and then they lived a life of thieves together. Every day, they stole things and played pranks on people on the beach. Because of his past experience as a thief, the spinytail worm felt that he did not deserve a new future.
(Hmm, do you feel a little embarrassed to accept what I just said because you feel like you were a thief in the past?)
After understanding the reason, Heimer cleared his throat.
Chi Haimo: "Spinytail, actually, you don't have to be so upset. Didn't the hotel staff also say at that time that the past things should be forgotten, so you don't have to blame yourself too much."
Spinytail: "Kemo..."
(Come to think of it, this feeling seems familiar...)
Seeing that the stingray was still drooping its head, Heimer adopted Xiaozhi's method.
Chi Haimo: "Then let's do Pokémon training. After sweating profusely, your thoughts may become clearer. Moreover, when you really start on the journey, all your fears may disappear."
Thorntail: "Kaimo."
Heimer picked up the Thornytail and took his luggage, then left the Pokémon Center with the Forest Lizard and the Natural Sparrow.
Chi Haimo: "Well, we should be able to meet many good opponents on the way to Hongbo Town."
As Heimer expected, because Lingyu Town is a very suitable place for grass-type Pokémon to live, there are also many grass-type Pokémon nearby.
At this time, a walking grass jumped out from the grass beside the road. Because the attributes of the stingtail worm were favorable, Heimer put down the stingtail worm and prepared to let it go on the field.
(By the way, I haven’t really understood the skills of the Thornytail and the Natural Sparrow yet.)
So Heimer took out the atlas and started scanning the spiny-tailed insects and natural finches.
The Thorntail, a baby bug Pokémon, feeds on tree sap, and its special feet allow it to crawl on glass without slipping.
Natural Finch, a small bird Pokémon, moves in a bouncing manner and never knows what it is looking at.
(We already know the characteristics of the natural bird, which is the magic mirror, and its skills are mental interference, teleportation, defense, and miracle eyes. The characteristics of the thorntail insect are scale powder, and its skills are collision and spinning. By the way, the thorntail insect is the only girl among us. Well, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, they should be very beautiful after evolving into hunting swallowtail butterflies.)
Chi Haimo: "Then, the stingtail worm, attack with silk."
The stingtail insect aimed at the walking grass and immediately shot out thick white silk threads. The walking grass was entangled in the silk threads and its movements became very slow.
Chi Haimo: "Now, hit!"
The stingtail worm leaped up and rushed directly towards the walking grass, but who knew that the walking grass glared at it. The purple powder instantly spread around, and the stingtail worm was poisoned after inhaling the powder.
Chi Haimo: "Ah, spiny-tailed worm!"
After the Walking Grass shook off the silk threads on its body, it directly used the absorption technique. The green waves like starlight hit the stingtail worm, and the stingtail worm lost its combat ability on the spot.
After Walking Grass won, he snorted with disdain, then jumped into the bushes next to him and ran away.
Seeing this, Heimer hurried forward to treat the stingray. After the stingray recovered, it turned its back to Heimer with a lost look.
Looking at the lost expression of the stingtail worm, Heimer squatted down and spoke to it gently.
Chi Haimo: "It's okay, stingtail worm, victory and defeat are common in the military, it's normal."
(But then again, even though it was a bug type, it was defeated by a drain attack. Um, what did I do when I was a caterpillar? Oh, that's right.)
Chi Haimo: "Spinytail, we."
Just as Heimer was about to say something, the natural bird quickly jumped in front of Heimer and gestured something with its wings with an expressionless face.
Chi Haimo: "Why, what's the matter?"
(Does Tianranque think that the stingray should be left alone now? How thoughtful...)
Seeing Heimer's touched expression, the forest lizard knew that he must have misunderstood what Tianranque meant, so he helplessly drew a clock on the ground and poked Heimer.
When Heimer saw the clock drawn on the ground by the forest lizard, he realized that Tianranque meant that it was already very late and if they didn't get to Hongbo Town, they would probably miss the registration time for the gorgeous competition.
Seeing this, Heimer glanced at the time displayed on the pocket navigator and realized that it was really too late, so he picked up the stingtail worm in one hand and rushed to Hongbo Town.
Fortunately, Tianranque reminded them in time, and Haimo and his friends arrived in Hongbo Town just before the registration ended.
(Well, fortunately, fortunately, well, I hope I can successfully obtain the second ribbon medal this time.)
