Chapter 534 Celebration of Thanks
In three days, Milifah City will usher in a grand fireworks display, so recently a small portion of the fireworks will be experimentally set off every night for final adjustments.
However, the colorful anomalies that suddenly bloomed in the sky were a bit frightening to the unexperienced Coco.
The violent sounds and large-scale explosions easily reminded him of the moves of extremely powerful elves, making people subconsciously want to retreat.
Out of curiosity about human cities, people ignore the danger and continue moving forward patiently.
A squirrel with a tail shaped like a pine cone followed him, constantly urging him to return to the depths of the forest.
But the words of dissuasion dissipated in the evening wind as if they had not entered the other party's ears.
In desperation, the greedy chinchilla had no choice but to turn around and go back to the depths of the forest. He quickly informed Salud of the incident and asked him to take Coco home.
Coco, who continued to move towards Mirifa City at high speed, finally came to the dividing line between the forest and the city.
There, he saw a human boy with two lightning bolts on his face, practicing a certain move with a carrot-like elf.
"Pickup?"
Pikachu noticed the outsider's gaze for the first time and looked towards the woods in the night.
Having traveled in the wild all year round, it has already mastered excellent detection skills.
Xiaozhi looked around and saw a brown-haired boy staring at him in surprise.
Seeing the boy who looked like a primitive man, he didn't feel the slightest difference - Xiaozhi had seen enough monsters and monsters in the past year of traveling.
So he showed a cheerful smile to the other party and introduced himself: "Hello, I am Xiaozhi. I am practicing neonization with Jucaoye. Have we disturbed you?"
Facing the barrage of words from a stranger, Coco, who was completely unable to understand the other person's language, was speechless for a moment.
"Silly...silly thing?"
"It's sa-to-shi——Chi." Xiaozhi corrected, why did he feel that this boy's name was similar to that of one of his childhood friends.
Coco repeated: "Silly thing."
Seeing that the other party had an overly strong accent, Xiaozhi had no choice but to hide his face and simply let the other party call him casually.
What can be done about the accent?
"Okay, stupid things can be stupid, what about you?"
"Silly thing?" Coco tilted her head, not understanding what Xiaozhi meant.
"Pikapi."
Seeing this, Pikachu patted Ash in the death stare of Jucaoye.
What the other party said was not the words of the elf, but it was similar to a certain extent, causing it to understand part of the other party's meaning.
However, Xiaozhi actually doesn't understand Pikachu's language, so he can only guess based on the tacit understanding between the two parties.
"You mean he came from the forest and was raised by elves?"
Hearing this, Xiaozhi immediately ignited a strong curiosity. While introducing the situation outside to the boy in a friendly manner, he asked the boy about his experience.
It's a pity that due to the language barrier, the efficiency of communication between the two is extremely low even though they are both human beings.
Fortunately, there is Pikachu, who can understand both human language and boy's speech, as a bridge in the middle.
It can translate Xiaozhi's words to the boy, and the other party can match their own cognition with the words in Xiaozhi's mouth after understanding Pikachu's language.
So, after an extremely long and painful hour, the boy finally mastered a small part of daily vocabulary through this round and round teaching.
"Hello, silly thing. I'm Coco."
This was the first sentence in Coco's life.
"Great, Coco, let me take you to play in the city!"
Happy that the other party had learned human speech, Xiaozhi pulled Coco into Mirifa City without any explanation.
In preparation for the fireworks display, Mirifa City has entered a festive atmosphere at this time.
Even late at night, there is a noisy atmosphere with lights and colorful lights everywhere.
I saw Xiaozhi following Coco on his left, his right arm held by Jucaoye with a vine whip, excitedly visiting Mirifa City late at night.
As for Pikachu, it helped Xiaozhi translate between the two.
"According to the introduction in the guide book, human settlement here has caused them a lot of trouble. The fireworks display is a festival prepared to express gratitude to the elves in the Lantier area."
It's basically the Thanksgiving of this world...but it's not popular here to cut off the scalps of indigenous people to make boots.
Although humans do use the skin shed by elves such as mini dragons as materials——
"Mini Dragon, a dragon Pokémon. It grows up little by little by repeatedly shedding its skin. The boots made by tanning the shed skin are super high-end products."
Overall, it’s hard to say enough.
Fortunately, most modern people in this world admire symbiosis with elves.
"Coco, come here quickly!"
As if he noticed something he liked, he quickly ran to a stall he was interested in. Xiaozhi hurriedly waved and said: "Here are apple candies made from Lantier's specialty light apples!"
Then I subconsciously thought that Coco must have no money, so I bought one for Coco and the elves with my own money.
"Thank you, it's delicious."
Although he had eaten light apples countless times in the forest, this was the first time that Coco had seen processed products.
While tasting the local specialties, Xiaozhi also noticed the special things on the stalls.
It was a light apple covered in syrup. The two leaves on the top had eyes, and a tail was exposed behind it.
The way it blinks when people pass by, it looks more like an elf than an apple.
Subconsciously, I took out the illustrated book, but the illustrated book was useless because it did not contain the data of this kind of elf.
So he asked curiously: "Boss, who is this elf that looks like candy apple?"
"They're Honeybugs, Sugar Apple Pokémon."
The shop owner who immigrated here from other areas a few years ago explained: "You may not think it's just an apple, but there are actually two elves called fruit-gnawing worms living inside. They use the nutrients of the apple to make honey that is as delicious as nectar." ”
In the boss’s hometown, some people call this so delicious and addictive honey “the honey of disaster.”
Tsk, that’s pure nonsense.
Hearing this, Xiaozhi nodded. It was indeed true. Even if he just felt the aroma of the apple candy, both humans and elves couldn't help but look intoxicated.
If he hadn't quickly put Heracross back into the Poke Ball, he might have stuck his head into the pot!
According to what the other party said, the honey-wrapped bugs use this delicious honey to confuse their opponents, and then detonate their own syrup to attack when they are not prepared.
Um?
Detonate syrup...?
Xiaozhi decided not to care about this detail.
"But the apple will be consumed sooner or later. What will happen to the two fruit-gnawing insects inside?"
"Yes, find a new apple." Coco answered for the shop owner.
Is it just like the relationship between Slowpoke, Slowpoke and Slowking? Xiaozhi thought thoughtfully, should this be regarded as a change in form or an evolution?
No matter, as long as it tastes good.
