Chapter 234 Sketching
In the end, Xiaoyun naturally won the battle, and Xiaoyun's group was slightly ahead in the total score, ranking first.
On the third day, the summer camp entered the theoretical class stage, but the lecturer was not Dr. Yamanashi, but his assistant Shiraki.
I guess Professor Yamanashi is still busy with the Rotom Pokédex.
The class content is also very user-friendly, without too many professional terms. It is basically common knowledge about Sinnoh Pokémon, and Assistant Shiraki’s explanations are very detailed. Most summer camp students can understand them, and they can respond fluently to occasional questions.
Of course, some people are not included in the majority, such as...
Xiaoyun cast his gaze towards the back of the classroom. Needless to say, the Rocket Trio was visible in his field of vision. It was normal for them to be sleeping. They could all rub bombs with their hands anyway, so it didn't matter whether they listened or not.
Xiao Wang and Xiao Gang, on the other hand, looked embarrassed, looking at Xiao Zhi and a yellow-skinned mouse who were snoring on the table with a headache. Especially, this guy made a "hehehe" sound from time to time, which almost made Xiao Wang and Xiao Gang socially frustrated on the spot.
But one thing is certain, the sleep quality is really good.
Um, there is also Xiaopi. Xiaoyun really didn’t expect that Xiaopi could also sleep. It’s true that what kind of Pokémon is like its owner.
Wow, Xiaopi, you have changed.
After the theoretical study in the morning, it is lunch time.
Oh my god! How come Xiaozhi and those three guys are ahead of him?
After lunch, everyone soon had afternoon classes and field trips.
Although it was called a field trip, we didn't actually go very far. We just visited the lakes and rivers near the training base, observed the Pokémon nearby, and finally wrote a research report.
It is basically the same as the practical activities in university.
Led by several of Dr. Yamanashi's assistants, the summer camp participants came to a lake with rippling water.
What comes into view is a crystal clear lake, like a huge mirror, reflecting the surrounding mountains, trees and sky, forming a picturesque scene.
As the breeze blows, ripples appear on the lake. The flowers, plants and trees on the lakeside are flourishing, each showing its brilliant colors and vitality.
Around the lake, there may be green mountains surrounding it, with majestic mountains that contrast beautifully with the lake, or there may be tree-lined paths where people can stroll through and feel the tranquility and beauty of nature.
Of course, as this lake is Professor Yamanashi's research base, there are naturally a large number of water-type Pokémon raised around it.
Xiaoyun saw many species.
For example, the Horned Goldfish, Starfish, Swamp King, and Sun Coral in the Kanto region, the Lotus Leaf Boy in Hoenn, and the Swimming Weasel and Neon Fish in Sinnoh.
Various water-type Pokémon, as well as the Mooks and Long-winged Gulls flying across the sky, watching them playing on the water gives people a feeling of being one with nature, allowing the mind to get a moment of tranquility and relaxation, and everyone can't help but indulge in it.
"Wow, this place is so beautiful."
Xiaoguang couldn't help but blurt out when he saw the scenery.
"Yeah, it feels like an outing."
Xiaoyun agreed as he looked at the girl's beautiful profile.
This kind of trip with many people, observing and sketching, with a lively girl next to them, instantly makes you feel like you are back in school.
“Dear students, this lake is the place where you will complete your report!
"Here, you can choose the Pokémon you want to observe and hand in the report to me before nightfall."
Assistant Bai Mu did not spoil the mood by giving a long speech. He simply gave a brief explanation and then walked over to a raccoon to observe it.
It is obvious that this assistant also has his own job.
Seeing that Assistant Baimu was already doing his work, everyone in the summer camp went about looking for their own observation subjects.
After Xiaoyun greeted Xiaozhi and the other two, the little yellow-haired Ah Jun also came over. Before leaving, he once again shouted at Xiaoyun, "Although I lost the battle, my painting skills will definitely crush you."
Then he walked away. Seeing Xiaoyun looking puzzled, he thought that the little yellow-haired boy was becoming more and more thick-skinned. Hammer's narrow defeat was obviously a one-sided beating by him.
I was almost drunk by the dry red wine.
"Come out, everyone."
Without paying any attention to the little yellow-haired boy, Xiaoyun, who was enjoying the beautiful scenery, threw out all the Poké Balls on his body.
“Cha!” “Howl!” “Roar!”
"Ji!" "Zhuan!" "Lu."
"Bah."
Seven different voices rang out, plus the goat that was temporarily following Xiaoyun, there were exactly seven of them.
Of course Darkrai and Suicune are also here, but there are so many people around now, so Darkrai and Suicune definitely cannot be released. They have to keep a low profile, mainly because they are too conspicuous.
"There is no practice today. Everyone is free to do whatever you want."
"It's better not to fight. The scorpion is talking to you. Put down your pincers."
As Xiaoyun was giving orders to a group of Pokémon, he glanced at a scorpion and saw something was wrong, so he said helplessly.
"clamp.."
The scorpion with the pincers that was baring its fangs and claws at the fire monkey reluctantly put down its pincers after hearing Xiaoyun's order.
As for why the Scorpion wants to provoke the Infernape, hehe, of course it's because the Scorpion feels that it has made some progress in strength recently, and it wants to avenge the beating it received in the past.
"Ji." (What's wrong with this little red scorpion?)
Infernape doesn't care. Its current opponent is Magma. It doesn't take the newcomer Scorpion seriously at all.
After all, who would be on guard against an opponent they defeated easily?
"Huh?" (This new little scorpion is pretty arrogant. He even dares to steal the role of the bear?)
The Circle Bear on the side was a little surprised when looking at the little red scorpion. It had just been called back two days ago. When it heard Xiaoyun's scolding, it subconsciously put its claws down, but it turned out that the person being scolded was not it.
This made Circle Bear unable to help but focus his attention on the Scorpion. A hint of cunning flashed across the seemingly honest bear's face.
Well, if nothing unexpected happens, the Scorpion will be taught a lesson of love.
Xiaoyun naturally noticed this little action, but he didn't say much. He knew Circle Bear well and knew he wouldn't do anything too excessive.
At most, it's just a way to keep in touch with new friends, which is harmless.
What's more, only a Circle Bear in his team can perfectly restrain the Scorpion. After all, if the fire poison that the Scorpion is proud of is used on the Circle Bear, it will be very harmful to the Circle Bear which has the characteristic of perseverance.
Um, Xiaoyun thought about the scene of the double violent circle bear, that scene must be very exciting, Scorpion hopes you will be lucky.
"Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun, there's a small boat here! Should we take this boat to the lake to observe Pokémon?"
Just as Xiaoyun continued to think, Xiaoguang, who was standing on the shore, kept waving at Xiaoyun and calling out to her. There was a small wooden boat about the same size as a sightseeing bus parked next to them.
"Come on, come on."
Seeing Xiaoguang waving at him, Xiaoyun immediately waved back and then walked towards him.
"Xiao Yun, how should I paddle this? I've been paddling for a long time but there's no response. It doesn't move at all."
Xiaoguang swung the oars with his arms awkwardly and pouted his lips in dissatisfaction.
"Hahaha, Xiao Guang you're so stupid, you're swinging your oars in the air and not even getting into the water, it's strange that you can move at all."
Xiaoyun couldn't help laughing. When he saw Xiaoguang confidently taking the oar from his hand, he thought the other party really knew how to do it.
Who is rowing in the air?
"Ahhh, don't laugh, don't laugh."
"Oh! I've never rowed this before. We used to play with pedals."
After hearing this, Xiaoguang's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If this wasn't a lake, she would have wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. This was too unlucky.
The most important thing is, there is one more dark history!
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore. Come on, I'll teach you how to row."
Xiaoyun also stopped laughing, then stood up and sat behind Xiaoguang, holding Xiaoguang's hands with both hands, resting his chin on the other's collarbone, and whispered:
"Come on, like this, put your hands in the right position first, and paddle rhythmically, like this..."
"Um......"
At this time, Xiaoguang's attention was no longer on rowing. He was listening to Xiaoyun's gentle voice, feeling his breathing from time to time beside his ears, and gradually began to daydream.
"How's it going, Xiao Guang, have you learned it?"
"Okay, time to sleep!"
"ah??"
"No, no, I mean you can row now!"
Xiaoyun felt that she seemed to be experiencing the feeling of having read and replied to the messages randomly for no apparent reason.
As the boat gradually moved to the center of the lake, the two began to choose their own characters for sketching. Finally, after looking for a long time, Xiaoguang chose a goldfish from the Kanto region.
Xiaoyun looked at the many water-type Pokémon, and finally unconsciously set his eyes on Xiaoguang.
Looking at Xiaoguang who was immersed in painting, Xiaoyun smiled gently and started picking up the paintbrush.
"Almost there, just one last stroke and it's finally done!" Xiao Guang said softly, and the brush in his hand gently fell on the paper, adding the final stroke to the work.
Her slender fingers tightly grasped the paintbrush, and as the last stroke of the fish fin was placed on the drawing board, a lifelike goldfish emerged.
"Dang-dang-dang!"
"How about Xiaoyun? Is my painting good looking?"
Xiaoguang, who had just finished drawing, couldn't help but turn the painting over to show it off to Xiaoyun.
"Yeah, you draw very quickly, let me see."
"Not bad. The tail is very curved. This is a good result for the first time."
At this time, Xiaoyun also put down her paintbrush and looked at Xiaoguang's lifelike goldfish with great surprise. Although it was definitely not comparable to the professional ones, it was already very impressive.
I didn’t expect Xiaoguang to have some artistic talent.
"Hehe, it's okay. By the way, Xiaoyun, what did you draw?"
Xiaoguang felt very satisfied after being praised. His bright eyes sparkled with sweetness and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Then she blinked curiously and then turned her gaze to Xiaoyun's upside-down drawing board.
“I drew it.”
Xiaoyun kept it a secret and didn't say anything. He took a piece of paper to cover the drawing board, and then unfolded the drawing board little by little in a very mysterious manner.
As the drawing board unfolded little by little, the contents inside were slowly revealed, and it was Xiaoguang himself.
In the painting, Xiaoguang was sitting quietly on a small boat, with her light blue hair draped over her shoulders and her blue eyes painting something seriously. A sense of tranquility and harmony emerged.
"Is this... me!?"
Xiaoguang looked at his own portrait in surprise. He felt an inexplicable surge of happiness in his heart, and his emotional value instantly reached the maximum.
How come Xiaoyun suddenly became so skilled? Did Xiaogang teach him?
"How about it, it's okay."
Xiaoyun looked at Xiaoguang who was a little surprised, and felt a little proud inside. As for sketching, he might draw water-type Pokémon or some other type Pokémon.
What is that? Isn't it better to draw cute little lights?
But Xiaoyun seems to have forgotten that this sketching will be counted as a grade...
Just when the atmosphere on the boat suddenly became ambiguous, the trio of troublemakers not far away started to cause trouble again.
"Well, the meow meow I drew is so lifelike. It seems that I have a very high artistic talent."
On the trio's boat, Meow Meow looked at his painting with satisfaction. The painting was of a jewel-covered female cat, who was none other than Madonna, the white moonlight in Meow Meow's heart in the original series.
"Tsk, what's so great about drawing your own kind? Look at my poisonous white butterfly, it's so beautiful."
Musashi on the side glanced at him with disdain, and in order to show his strength, he immediately took out his masterpiece.
"What? How dare you say Madonna is ugly? Meow meow's Madonna is the most beautiful!"
Miaomiao, who has the attribute of being a bootlicker, automatically filtered out other contents in his mind. He only heard Musashi say that Poison Butterfly is more beautiful than Madonna. How could Miaomiao tolerate this? He immediately got furious.
"My poisonous butterfly is!"
Musashi's character is no weaker than that of a human. His aura suddenly increased, and he went straight to Meowth and started to roar at each other.
"It's Madonna!"
"It's a poisonous butterfly!"
"Cough cough cough."
"Musashi, meow, stop arguing. I personally think this is the most beautiful thing, and I can join in."
Just as Musashi and Meowth were arguing with each other, Kojiro, who put the painting behind him and looked like a master, interrupted them with a light cough.
"Um? "
Musashi and Meowth also had a look of question marks on their faces, because in their eyes, although Kojiro was a rich second-generation, and was proficient in everything from aerospace to diving, he was a rich second-generation after all, and had a shortcoming that most second-generations had, which was that he was a little weird in art. They had the opportunity to see Kojiro's paintings before, and they were truly... art.
However, seeing how confident Kojiro was, Musashi and Meowth felt a sense of anticipation in their hearts.
"Then let me show you my shining masterpiece!"
Seeing that the curiosity of the two people had been aroused by him, Kojiro calmly unfolded his painting.
"..."
After seeing clearly, Musashi and Meowth fell silent. They looked at each other tacitly and couldn't hold back any longer.
"Ugh.....Pfft! Hahahahaha!"
"..."
Kojiro's originally confident look was instantly extinguished by these two guys, and his tone became weaker.
"Hey...can you guys please respect me for a moment, whether I look good or not, what's the point of smiling all the time."
"Xiao...Xiaojiro, we can still argue about whose drawing is better, Meow Meow or I, but yours is the ugliest, without a doubt."
Musashi felt like his stomach hurt from laughing so hard. What the hell was this? What on earth was she expecting?
"That's right, meow. I think this should be Magikarp, but the way you drew it, Magikarp himself would probably dislike it."
Miaomiao patted his face to calm himself down, then reached out and scooped up a Magikarp from the lake and put it in front of the screen.
"carp!"
Magikarp was a little confused, but after seeing clearly what was in front of him, his scales exploded in fear, and his dull eyes became clear in fear.
(Please imagine the half-human, half-fish image in the movie version of The Little Mermaid for the content in the painting.)
