"Brother Xia Chan, are you interested in taking on a little apprentice?"
Hua Jianming led Sakaki to Xia Chan who was teasing the burning bug. Xia Chan saw the unicorn bug in Sakaki's arms at a glance and felt very close to it.
"Is it this little guy?"
Xia Chan showed a warm smile on his face and squatted down to look at Sakaki and his hornworm. This reminded him of himself in the past.
Once upon a time, this big brother who was as bright as the sun also started out as a unicorn beetle. Fortunately, he made it out of the great waves, and when he returned to the breeding house, he even reached a new level.
Through Hua Jianming's narration, Xia Chan gradually understood Sakaki's situation.
Xia Chan's tolerant and kind personality has always been his characteristic. He seems to not want Sakaki to go through his past path again. Seeing Hua Jianming speak, Xia Chan agreed.
"As for Apollo..."
Hua Jianming looked thoughtfully at Apollo beside him who still looked dissatisfied, and then turned to Rock Lee who was doing push-ups on the ground.
"You won't let me follow this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a bowl-cut hair!"
Apollo seemed to understand the meaning of Hua Jianming's eyes and quit on the spot.
"Apollo!"
The little brother seemed to be very afraid of the boss he recognized. Sakaki just called out and the little troublemaker Apollo was silenced.
"Brother Li, this troublesome little guy is called Apollo, and he is troublesome to you."
Rock Lee raised his eyebrows and stood up quickly, and immediately made a fresh and refined Bruce Lee starting posture, with the corners of his mouth raised, which was unbearable to watch.
"Don't worry, boss. This little guy is full of youthful energy. Let me be his guide on the road to youth!"
Since obtaining the Pokémon egg, Rock Lee has changed the way he addresses Hua Jianming to the more respectful "Boss" in order to express his gratitude.
Apollo looked more and more desperate, and just when he was about to speak, he was stopped by Sakaki's eyes. Helplessly, he lowered his rebellious head under Sakaki's pressure.
Hua Jianming looked at the scene in front of him with amusement. Although Apollo was not likable, this was how a child of this age should behave.
"So you have to follow Brother Li obediently from now on, okay?"
Apollo looked dissatisfied until the Flash Mother Monster quietly appeared behind him and then he calmed down.
"Okay, young man, let's start a beautiful record of youth together."
When Rock Lee's big hand held Apollo, Hua Jianming clearly felt his resistance.
But when the Flashing Mother Monster picked up Dalubi with one hand and held Apollo's other hand, Hua Jianming found that the resistance disappeared instantly.
"Come on, in the name of youth, I have the confidence to become your most respected guide!"
However, I don’t think he will be able to teach a second Rock Lee, right?
Hua Jianming looked at the two people leaving and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Forget it, evildoers need evil to deal with them.
"Let's go too, Xiaosakaki."
Xia Chan's gentleness made Sakaki look at Rock Lee and Apollo who were getting farther and farther away, as well as the eye-catching strange power.
Sakaki glanced at Hanama secretly, his eyes full of gratitude.
The withdrawal of Sakaki and Apollo gave the other children participating in "New Year's Encounter" hope of winning first place.
After all, in addition to the rule of getting the elves' approval, "New Year's Day Encounter" also includes various mini-games to interact with the elves on the third day.
Although you won't get the biggest prize of this event by winning these mini games, you will still get a beautiful gift provided by the breeding house.
After New Year's Day comes the Spring Festival. Except for Ran Huange, who runs the Elf Tea Restaurant and goes home to celebrate the New Year, everyone stays in the breeding house.
Hua Jianming, Cang Xiangnan, Cang Xiangbei, Xia Chan, Li Luoke, Chi Baixia, Chu Jiaxi, Cao Modi, Cao Moxuan, Han Xin, Xiao Dudan, five carrot heads, Sakaki, and Apollo, a total of eighteen people.
This has been quite a busy year.
As in previous years, a thousand boiling pots were set up in the mineral-rich rock area.
Truckloads of vegetables, fruits, meat and seafood were continuously transported to the breeding house, and then transported to the mineral-rich rock area by the one-horned rhinoceros, Cocodoras and the giant whales.
All the fruits on the trees were swept away and piled up like mountains on the open space.
In front of a big pot,
"Brother Ming, after the New Year, my brother and I want to attend the gifted classes held by our school in Xia City." Cang Xiangbei approached Hua Jianming and started acting coquettishly.
"Advanced class?"
"That's right. The school is cooperating with an elf high school in Kyoto. Students who rank in the top three in GPA in the gifted class will be admitted to this Kyoto elf high school." Cang Xiangnan also came over, his face full of desire for the new high school.
"You all want to go?"
"Yes, Brother Ming. That's the best elf high school in the entire league!"
Cang Xiangbei was not exaggerating. Even Hua Jianming, who rarely went out, had heard of this high school.
Kyoto Elf High School is one of the pilot schools established by the Huaxia Alliance two years ago for the formal introduction of elves into high school classrooms. It is also the most famous and the most powerful elf high school among all the pilot schools.
"Then you guys go and join us." Hua Jianming looked at his two younger brothers and shook his head helplessly. "It looks like next semester will be another semester away from home."
After all, the three of them have lived together since they were young. Now that the two younger brothers are away from home for entire semesters, it would be a lie for Hua Jianming, as the older brother, to say that he is not worried.
"But……"
Cang Xiangnan wanted to say something but stopped himself. Seeing that his brother didn't dare to speak, Cang Xiangbei spoke boldly.
"The teacher said that students who participate in this gifted class must have three elves."
So that’s how it is. Hua Jianming understood what Cang Xiangbei meant.
So far, the two brothers Xiangnan and Xiangbei only have two Pokémon: Charmeleon and Electabuzz.
There was a reason why Hua Jianming did not arrange more elves for the two of them.
Firstly, the two brothers are still young and still have to go to school, so they don’t have extra time to cultivate more elves.
Secondly, both Charmeleon and Electabuzz are Pokémon that they have grown up by themselves. After such a long time, their strength is even approaching the gym level. It is more important for the two brothers to gain their recognition and command.
As for the school’s strict requirements for the gifted classes, it is easy to understand.
Being a trainer is definitely a career that burns money. If you don’t have a sufficient financial foundation, you can’t afford the growth of your Pokémon. The rigid requirement of having three Pokémon is also to screen out such unqualified students.
"Let's talk about this in a few days. I need to make some arrangements."
Although Hua Jianming did not agree immediately, Cang Xiangnan and Cang Xiangbei still left happily. Based on their understanding of Hua Jianming, the matter should be settled.
"Brother, what kind of elves do you think Brother Ming will prepare for us?"
"I don't know, but I guess it should be one of Cinderella, Growlithe, Daluby, and Charmander."
"What about me? I went to the newly built Thunder Region a few days ago, and there wasn't a single elf there..."
In front of another big pot,
Apollo kept picking up the delicious food from the pot.
Sakaki, who was sitting next to him, did not pick up his chopsticks, but looked curiously at the large number of huge one-horned rhinos and diamond-horned rhinos around him.
"Boss, why don't you eat?"
Because the food was hot and spicy, Apollo looked at Sakaki in confusion while exhaling.
"So many elves, it's a rare sight. Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you, just eat quickly."
Just as Sakaki was about to start eating, two little elves, one purple and one blue, came over from nowhere and stared at Sakaki and the food in the pot with curiosity.
Apollo was about to ask Dalubi to stop him when Sakaki stopped him.
"These are the elves in the ecological park. They have no ill intentions towards us."
Sakaki reached out and boldly rubbed Nidoran's rough little head. This move learned from Hua Jianming made Sakaki always have an advantage when facing strange Pokémon.
"Ni (*^▽^*)"
Nidoran seemed to like Sakaki's intimate behavior very much and couldn't help but rub it twice.
However, this behavior seemed to have annoyed Nidoran. It moved forward, knocked Nidoran away, and barked at Sakaki twice in dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Sakaki reached out and rubbed the angry Nidoran.
Nidoran, who was about to fight back, was stunned when he felt the warmth of Sakaki's palm, and unconsciously imitated Nidoran's previous actions.
Seeing this scene, Sakaki showed a rare warmth on his face.
But just as he was about to pick up some food for the two elves, a feeling of dizziness hit the back of his head.
pat!
The chopsticks fell and the young Sakaki fell into coma.
Chapter 266 A Test for the Two Brothers
"Well... this should be enough."
Chu Jiaxi carefully put away the bottles and jars in front of her. Seeing that everyone was watching her, she shyly shrank behind Chi Baixia.
The poisoned Sakaki quickly recovered from the poison under Chu Jiaxi's treatment, but he was still a little weak.
Chi Baixia explained: "Jia Xi is good at pharmacology. She just prepared some herbs for Brother Sakaki to take. He is basically fine now. Just rest and you will be fully recovered tomorrow."
Xia Chan thanked Chu Jiaxi.
"You little guy, remember next time that Nidoran and Nidoran are highly poisonous and cannot be touched casually."
Xia Chan squatted down and put his hand on Sakaki's forehead. He felt relieved when he saw that the high fever caused by the poisoning had completely subsided.
"I understand, teacher."
"Nini???"
"Nido O (╥﹏╥)o"
Nidoran and Nidoran came to Sakaki's side and refused to leave for a long time. Their eyes were full of worry and self-blame.
Sakaki seemed to understand what Nidoran and Nidoran meant, and he comforted them, "It's okay, little ones. It was my carelessness this time, not your fault."
After saying that, Sakaki wanted to reach out and touch Nidoran and Nidolang again, but fortunately, Nidoran and Nidolang reacted and quickly dodged.
Sakaki also reacted in an instant. He first looked at the two little ones apologetically, and then looked at Xia Chan awkwardly.
