When the task was assigned to this step, Qianye subconsciously glanced at Nancy, who was sitting obediently beside him waiting. The girl's eyes were shining with expectation. Looking at Nancy like this, the boy decided:
"Leave the cooking to me. With Kuroko's help, it won't take too much time. Once you've built the fire and gotten the ingredients, I should be able to come over and start working."
As for letting Nazzi cook, what a joke! He could still vividly remember the girl's first time cooking and how she burned the pot until it was charred. The journey was still long, and that pot would be used someday, so he couldn't waste it here.
Hearing this assignment, the girl blinked and suddenly came up with another idea: "Since we need to set up the tent, wouldn't it be easier to just use telekinesis instead of doing it manually?"
That makes sense! How could I have forgotten that Nancy's telekinesis is most suitable for this kind of situation... Since the girl clearly wanted to help, Qianye slightly changed the original plan:
"In that case, I'll leave the tent to you, Nazzi. Kuroko, come over and help me."
After redistributing the tasks, everyone found a suitable open space nearby and started to work on their own tasks.
The first to leave was Kodora. Perhaps having been trapped in the ball for long enough, upon hearing Qianye's announcement of disbanding, he impatiently rushed into the nearby woods. Following a trembling sound, several trees collapsed with a loud bang.
That girl wanted to hunt some game on her way? Of course, no problem, but before that, she should see if there is anyone in these woods who can relieve her boredom.
A crimson light shone in Kodora's eyes as she scanned the dense forest. Simultaneously, a strong sense of fear rose within the Pokémon throughout the forest, a premonition of being dominated by the "Black Devil."
Not to mention the wild Pokémon that were about to be harmed, the tent crew here completed their work in just a few minutes. After repeatedly checking the sturdiness of the tent, Qianye made an "OK" gesture to Nancy:
"No problem, you go and rest first. I'll go see how the fishing is going over there, Umbreon."
Not far away by the river, Moon Eevee was holding a fishing rod in her hand, with the spider-silver yet very strong fishing line hanging down into the water. Her eyes were fixed patiently on the water surface, and except for her eyes, her body was almost motionless, like a black sculpture.
Suddenly, bubbles began to appear densely around the circle where the fishing line was hanging in the water. Gradually, Moon Eevee could feel a force competing with her for control of the fishing rod.
Seeing the right moment, he suddenly lifted up with both hands, pulled the big fish that had taken the hook out of the water in one breath, and threw it into the iron bucket beside him.
"It seems like today is a great harvest." The young man's sigh was heard behind him. Moon Eevee quickly stood up and nodded to Qianye.
He casually pulled out a big fish from the bucket. It was as long as half of his forearm, and it wasn't even the biggest fish in the bucket.
Seeing such results, Qian Ye suddenly became interested. Although he had learned how to fish from his father, he had never practiced it many times since he was a child. It was a good opportunity to try it today.
Taking the fishing rod from Umbreon's hand and putting bait on the hook, the boy confidently threw it into the river. He had a strong premonition that he was about to catch a big fish!
Half an hour passed. Moon Eevee looked at his master's expressionless face, then glanced down at several Magikarp splashing on the ground, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
These Magikarp on the ground were all the fruits of Qianye's half-day's work. But no matter what, Magikarp was still a fish, even though it was basically made of bones and completely inedible...
Just as she was thinking about how to comfort him, Qianye's face suddenly showed surprise: "The feeling is different! This time I can't be wrong, it's definitely a big fish!"
With a sudden exertion of force from his arms, the fishing line suddenly tightened, pulling a black object out from under the water and landing in the boy's hands. He lowered his head and took a closer look, and it turned out to be a large black boot covered in river sand.
"My lord, actually..." Looking at Qianye's gloomy face, Moon Eevee stepped forward and prepared to say something.
However, the boy's black pupils suddenly lit up with a strong light at this moment, and then a huge splash of water exploded on the surface of the river, and where the water droplets fell, many fish that had already fainted fell.
"Isn't this true? I caught quite a lot~ Don't you agree, Umbreon?"
Being honest is the code of a knight. However, after seeing the cheerful smile on Qianye's face, Umbreon went against the rules in his heart for the first time and nodded stiffly.
Chapter 72: The Strange Mini Dragon
At dinner time, a grill was set up on the burning firewood pile. Qianye held a brush in his hand and swept it back and forth on the fish pierced by bamboo skewers until it became shiny.
"Heizi, cumin powder."
He stared at the sizzling fish meat burning in the fire and stretched out his hand to his right, but after a while, the weight of the cumin powder bottle still did not feel on his palm.
Looking sideways, Kuroko's pair of wolf ears stood straight up, his big tail kept shaking behind him, his red pupils stared at the grilled fish, and a white waterfall flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Several black lines instantly appeared on Qianye's forehead. He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, hitting the girl's forehead directly.
"Ouch!" Heizi covered his forehead in pain and looked at the boy with tears in his eyes.
"You're already thinking about eating before you've even finished your work? Just focus on helping me prepare the food. There will be plenty to fill your stomach later."
Reaching out and scratching the girl's chin, Kuroko's originally aggrieved face quickly turned into a silly grin, and his ears swayed comfortably.
It's really easy to understand...
Finally, he successfully got the seasoning bottle, shook it gently, and sprinkled the brown and yellow particles on the fish. Heizi, who had been reminded once, no longer stared at the food in a daze, but kept trotting between the boy and the seasoning table, acting as a porter.
The basic process has been completed. Qianye rotates the bamboo pole with one hand and repeatedly turns the fish over to roast it evenly. It soon becomes crispy and golden. Under the crispy red skin, the aroma of meat bursts out, which stimulates the taste buds.
"Qianye~"
The hot aroma tempted the girl's nose, and her saliva could no longer be stopped. Her pair of small paws opened and closed uncontrollably, and she cast a longing look at Qian Ye.
"Here." He took the largest fish from the existing grill and put it directly to Heizi's mouth.
Without any hesitation, she opened her mouth and bit down with her sharp canine teeth. Then Qianye saw the girl's eyes tear up from the burns of the freshly grilled fish, and she stuck out her tongue and breathed out continuously.
"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
Seeing the girl's miserable appearance, Qian Ye couldn't help but smile. He rubbed her soft black hair and helped her blow the grilled fish to the appropriate temperature.
Finally, he was able to taste the fruits of his hard work for half a day. He bit into the crispy outside and tender inside fish meat, and felt the burnt aroma filling his mouth. A look of happiness appeared on Heizi's face.
It looks like the baking is going pretty well... I can call Nancy and the others over now.
He shouted loudly for everyone to come and eat. A group of girls, Pokémon and Pokémon-transformed girls gathered together. When they looked around, they didn't see a familiar black figure.
Kodora, haven't you come back yet?
Frowning slightly, Qianye raised his arm and grabbed a magnetic ball floating aimlessly in the air. "Magnemite, can you help me find Kodora in the forest? If you see her, tell her to come back quickly and stop playing too wildly outside."
The spherical body shook and nodded downwards, and after the boy let go of his hand, Magnemite turned around and floated towards the depths of the forest.
I don't know how far I flew, but when I passed through the weeds again, I heard several loud noises.
The large, single eye blinked, roughly determining the direction of the sound, and quickly flew off. Along the way, a large number of large Pokémon collapsed densely, their eyes shimmering with circles, and almost every one of them had a large bump on their forehead.
His sight only lingered on their "corpses" for a moment before he followed the spliced-together road all the way forward, and soon bumped into a huge purple figure.
He was bounced back several meters by the impact. When he looked up slightly, he saw that the entire body of the purple monster suddenly began to shake violently. The next moment, its head tilted forward and fell to the ground with a dull thud.
"Yes~"
The sound of metal was accompanied by the thud of steel stepping on the land. Kodora slowly approached and stepped on the head of the unconscious Nidoking with his black iron foot.
Nidoking's long poisonous horns were tilted to the side, and his entire face was bruised and swollen under his bumpy head. Among all the Pokémon that Magnemite saw along the way, this one was definitely the worst beaten one.
As for its opponent, there was no damage on Kodora's sturdy black armor except for a few shallow scratches. There was a hint of satisfaction in his scarlet eyes.
As she fought her way through the forest with her fists, the Nidoking was the only opponent she could exchange a few blows with, though it was only a few. At least it had helped her stay active and prevented her from rusting.
"嗗嗗嗗~"
The sound of radio waves echoed in her ears. As soon as Kodora raised her head, she met the gaze of those large, blank eyes. After clearly hearing the news that the other party was Chiyayo, she put away her iron palm and rubbed it against the armor she was wearing, brushing off the dust that had stained it.
"Okay...Okay. (I understand...I'll be there right away.)"
When Kodara followed Magnemite away, a few Pokémon that had escaped because they were too weak and ignored by Kodara poked their heads out from the bushes and watched the black figure leave in fear.
From then on, the legend of the Black Devil began to spread among the Pokémon of this forest. It was said that even infant Pokémon would stop crying out of fear at the mention of her name. Of course, that was a story for later...
……
As the sky darkened, a bright moon hung in the distant night sky. Dinner had ended, and the remaining firewood still glowed. Under the warm firelight, Heizi, satiated and satisfied, rubbed his swollen belly and yawned deeply.
As if sending the first signal, the fatigue of a tiring day spread to everyone like the flu. Qianye rubbed his eyes, clapped his hands, and announced to everyone:
"Okay, everyone, go get some rest first and get enough rest. We have to get up early and travel tomorrow."
Together with Nancy, they raised the Poké Ball in their hands. It didn't take much time. Except for the Umbreon that had decided in advance to keep watch tonight, all the Pokémon were put into the ball one by one, and the surroundings fell into complete tranquility.
He wrapped his arm around Nancy's waist and picked her up like a princess. Before walking into the tent, he looked at the Umbreon leaning against a tree with his arms folded and said:
"Umbreon, I'll leave you tonight... If you feel like you can't hold on any longer, you can always ask me to take over."
"Don't worry, my lord. Bu will be more energetic at night. I wish you and Miss Nazi a good dream."
The young man nodded slightly and carried Nazhi into the tent. After a rustling sound, the tent fell into complete silence.
The full moon spread a silver carpet across the earth, and in the forest, the chirping of insects echoed in the music of the night. Inside the tent, a Poké Ball slowly fell from Qianye's waist pocket as he slept soundly, and tentatively rolled towards the tent door.
Perhaps confirming that no one noticed him, the black and white high-level ball with yellow lines opened from the inside, a red light emerged from it, and a smooth blue body appeared.
He straightened up nervously, turned his little head behind him, and after seeing the boy sleeping soundly while holding Nancy, the mini dragon breathed a long sigh of relief, put his belly back on the ground, and crawled out of the tent door.
As I crawled out of the door, the silver light on the horizon was reflected on a flat rock, like a spotlight shining on the center of the stage.
"Youyi~" With a clear and ethereal cry, the mini dragon was about to drag its long body towards the rock.
"Where are you going, Mini Dragon, at this late hour?"
A cold voice came from behind. He turned his neck stiffly, and the scales on his body collided with each other, making a "clacking" sound.
The black-haired girl had stood behind her at some point, looking down at her.
If it was a complete stranger, and the distance was so close, Dratini would probably have been frightened to death. Fortunately, they had been together for quite a long time, and Umbreon was the one who showed the most concern for him besides Qianye, so his sensitivity was slightly less serious.
"You... Youyi... (I... I want to go out for a walk...)"
For Dragonite, it was extremely difficult to organize such words. In fact, her body was twisted into a mess due to extreme tension.
Fortunately, Umbreon only gave her a deep look and didn't ask any further questions. He just whispered, "Okay, but don't run too far. It's so late now, and there might be some danger."
Nodding its head several times, the mini dragon dragged its long body along the ground, slithering along the ground. It looked more like running away than taking a walk.
Watching her disappear from her sight, Umbreon narrowed her eyes slightly. She had always been very concerned about her youngest sister because she was so introverted that she didn't react strongly except when she was with her lord. She avoided her companions, including herself.
It is obvious that this sister is extremely insecure, and as a qualified knight, Umbreon believes that it is necessary to protect not only the physical safety of the people around him, but also their spiritual safety.
So when faced with Mini Dragon's request to go out, although she was a little worried about whether he would encounter danger, she also thought that this might be an opportunity to further understand the other party's heart.
What could be the thing that could allow such a timid Dragonite to overcome its fear of external dangers?
A white light emerged from Umbreon's body, and its body gradually shrank until it transformed into its beast form. Without any delay, Umbreon quickly ran up, following the trail left by Dratini.
Chapter 73: Mini Dragon's Solo Dance Under the Moon
That child actually ran such a long distance alone...
The trail left by the drag gradually became lighter, and Moon Eevee followed it all the way. The trail was not a straight long line, but would twist from time to time, and it seemed that there was no clear destination.
By the time they got here, they were already more than a kilometer away from their camp, which had already violated the agreement of "not running too far."
But the more this happened, the more Moon Eevee became curious about what Dratini was trying to do by not wanting everyone to find out?
A patch of weeds blocked the way, and the narrow scratch was completely cut off here. It seemed that the mini dragon was ahead. Knowing his sister's timid personality, if he suddenly barged in like this, she would be scared to death.
Therefore, Moon Eevee tried to push aside the blades of grass with the smallest possible movement, and passed through the center of the weeds without making any excessive noise.
As the grass gradually became sparse, sweeping aside the last green barrier that blocked the view, Moon Eevee carefully poked its head out, and in an instant, the sound of gurgling water as pleasant as a clear bell floated into its ears.
The moist earth exuded the fragrance of soil, and a stream ran through it. Several smooth and huge stones stood in the middle of the stream. The sound made by the flowing water on them was the source of the beautiful music she heard.
But where did the mini dragon go?
Her eyes followed the direction of the stream all the way down, and soon she found the little creature with its head raised and its long tail coiled around a huge rock.
After years of polishing by the water, the surface of the rock is as smooth as a mirror. In addition, it is almost the largest stone among the many stones in the stream, making it like a perfect natural stage.
Under the moonlight, the mini dragon's blue body is covered with a layer of silver gauze, and its beautiful scales reflect a little bit of luster, as if countless stars are clustered around her, just like a dream scene.
Umbreon had never felt his little sister so dazzling as she did at that moment. Indeed, even judging by her looks alone, Dratini was already one of the most outstanding, but her overly introverted personality prevented her from fully showcasing her charm, leaving her at a relatively good-looking level.
But now it is completely different. The dejection that was so strong that it would infect everyone around and make them autistic has disappeared. Instead, there is a beauty that transcends gender and that can make people fall in love with it at first sight.
Just as Umbreon was expressing such emotion in its heart, Dratini suddenly started to move. Its body like a water snake swayed gently under the moon, and the tip of its blue tail also hit the rocks beneath it with an elegant rhythm.
Is this... dancing?
The bright stars were scattered outwards, and although there were no musical instruments here, Umbreon seemed to see a grand dance beginning before his eyes.
No, that's not right! The sound of the rushing stream, the gentle breeze caressing the grass...all the sounds that existed in nature now became the soundtrack to the mini dragon's dance.
Obviously, nature is beyond our control, but Mini Dragon is able to do it. With her dance steps, she makes everything in this world become a foil that only exists to highlight the charm of the moment.
