"Qianye, you have to know that this is a brand new evolutionary form. What factors gave rise to this new form? What kind of characteristics and skill pool can it possess? Uoooh! I feel like my scholar soul is about to ignite!"
Looking at the other side of the video, Professor Oak, who looked like a middle school boy with a red face and boiling blood, Qianye could only scratch his head in embarrassment:
"I would like to send Kodora over to you to have a look. After all, I am worried about whether there will be any hidden dangers after the evolution. The problem is that Kodora doesn't want to... I can't force her to go over."
Besides, she probably wouldn't be hard-pressed... He turned sideways and looked at the black-armored giant beast at his feet. This black Kodalac was much larger than the normal Kodalac, but it stood on all fours, and its height was almost close to his chest. Naturally, it couldn't lie on his shoulder like before.
"Is that so?" Dr. Oak's mood was obviously depressed after being rejected by Qianye, but he did not force it. He just reminded him seriously:
"But you have to be careful in the future. This Kodora's abnormal characteristics are too obvious. It will inevitably be targeted by people with ulterior motives. People like Team Rocket will definitely not let go of this rare Pokémon."
"By the way, who's that behind you?" At first, all his attention was attracted by the black Kodalai, and he almost didn't notice that there was a very quiet-looking girl standing behind Qianye.
"Ah, she's Nancy, my traveling companion recently."
"Oh, just companions~" Looking at the two people's hands tightly held together, and the attachment in the girl's eyes who was always looking at Qianye, Professor Oak suddenly showed an ambiguous smile on his face.
"It seems I have to find a time to congratulate Yuan Tai. My noodles are ready, so I will stop being a light bulb for you young people. Let's talk next time."
The screen suddenly darkened as Professor Oak uttered the last word, without even giving Qianye a chance to speak... Really, he hadn't planned on letting his parents know about Nancy so early.
"Qian Ye."
Hearing the girl's soft call, he lowered his head slightly and cast a questioning look.
"Lunch, want to try."
Qianye was stunned for a moment, then asked in a tentative tone: "You mean... do you want to try making lunch yourself?"
Nancy nodded. This was a rare thing. Qianye had lived in the Golden Gym for so long and had never seen her cook. However, he did not rule out the possibility that Nancy cooked for herself before he went there.
"Then go ahead. I also want to try Nazi's cooking."
His fingers gently stroked the black silk that reflected a dark green luster. It was as soft as clouds sliding through his fingers. The comfortable touch made Qianye reluctant to let go.
But with his permission, Nancy's eyes lit up and she teleported instantly. The hand that had just been twisting her hair suddenly touched nothing.
"Can."
That's all you have.
A mocking sound with a little metallic noise came from Kodora beside him. She raised her head and looked directly into the boy's eyes, with a hint of instigation in her tone:
If you ask me, since that little girl is now obedient to you, why not just push her down and make it a done deal?
"Stop, stop, stop! How come there are so many unhealthy things in your brain after evolving a stage? Even if you want to do that kind of thing... you have to discuss it with her first."
His head was aching. Although he had heard before that the evolution of Pokémon could affect its personality to a certain extent in addition to changing its appearance, he now experienced this phenomenon with his own eyes.
The good news is that the evolved Kodara has completely changed her previous violent habit of hurting herself at every turn, but the bad news is that her aggression has gradually shifted to other subtle directions... I don't know why, but it always feels more dangerous.
"Yes." After rolling his eyes, Dora was too lazy to continue persuading this guy who had the desire but not the courage. He stretched out his iron palm and grabbed Qianye's trouser leg.
The boy bent down and took out a small brush from his pocket, and gently rubbed the hard and cold black armor. For Kodora, brushing armor is not a physiological activity, but like a human massage, it can make the body and mind more comfortable and relaxed.
"Kodora... Come on, can you transform into a human form like Kuroko?"
Kodora, who was squinting his eyes and enjoying Qianye's service, was slightly stunned when he heard the sudden question, and then he said: "No, why do you think I can do that kind of thing? "
"It's okay..." Qianye didn't say anything more and continued his work. Originally, according to his guess, the strange form of Kodora should be affected by the so-called "prayer" power in his body, just like Kuroko. According to Jirachi, such evolution will obtain the corresponding human form due to his most instinctive wish.
Is it because Kodora's evolution has nothing to do with the power of prayer? Or does that human form have to evolve to the final stage to be obtained? I guess I can only get the answer by asking Jirachi in person, and I don't know when I can have that kind of dream again.
Just as he was lost in thought, Kodora lowered her head, also thinking about the question the other party had just asked - if she could also transform into a human form, then he could also...
The sudden bang woke Qianye from his deep thought. It seemed that there was an explosion somewhere. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. The boy did not notice that a red light full of desire flashed in Kodora's eyes, and soon returned to normal.
"It seems to be the place where Nancy and the others started cooking. No way..." Qianye said uncertainly as he looked at the direction where the black smoke was rising. Without a moment's hesitation, he rushed over at full speed.
…
"Qianye...I'm sorry..."
With her hands entangled and hidden behind her back and her head lowered so low that she almost pressed it against the ground, Nancy looked like a student who had violated the school rules. From time to time, she would lift her head slightly to steal a glance at the expression of the "Dean of Studies" Qianye.
On the ground behind her, a black pot with a big hole in it and a burnt smell was placed on top of some burnt firewood. This pot had followed Qianye through countless storms all the way from the town of Zhenxin, and finally ended its not-so-glorious life on the outskirts of Huangjin City, during the group's first picnic after their departure.
So, why did such a commotion occur when I was just cooking? He almost thought that some Pokémon hunters had launched a terrorist attack.
However, seeing Nancy's current look, it was unlikely that he would get any useful answers from her. He could only turn his inquiring gaze to Hu Di who looked tired.
"Don't look at me. I just followed the lady's instructions and went to the nearby river to catch a few fish. I came back like this... (telepathy)"
"So, Nazi has never cooked for herself before?"
"Of course not. Miss has basically spent all her energy on training superpowers and teaching those students. How could she have time to learn how to cook? (Telepathy)"
Well, I roughly understood what was going on. With a soft sigh, Qianye walked forward, rubbed Nazi's head with his hand, and said softly:
"There's no need to feel guilty. It's just a pot. It's not worth much anyway."
However, such comfort did not seem to alleviate Nazi's depression. She still lowered her head and made a voice as thin as a mosquito's: "But Qianye's cooking is delicious...but I can't do anything..."
"It's okay. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Just like your superpowers are so amazing, Nancy, I can't learn them at all, right?"
Finally reacting, the girl raised her head, her pure eyes reflecting a little crystal light: "Can superpowers... help Qianye?"
"There will always be a time when you will need your superpowers, Nancy... But for now, take out the canned food in my backpack. We still have a long way to go to Vermilion City, and we can't go on an empty stomach."
Seeing Nazzi, who had finally been comforted, using telekinesis to float towards where the luggage bags were piled, Qianye couldn't help but reach out and wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Although he helped Naz regain her humanity and emotions, perhaps it was the aftereffect of living alone for a long time. She always felt insecure about things related to herself, and was afraid that she would be disliked and abandoned.
In a sense, he was very happy that he could hold such a high position in the other person's heart. However, if it continued like this, it would definitely not be a good thing for Naz's physical and mental growth.
"Oh, is that the partner Xiaoye chose? He looks good and has a scent that I like."
"Yes, yes…" Qianye nodded in agreement, and suddenly reacted. He looked to his side in panic. A blonde girl in white clothes was floating in the air. After noticing his sight, she smiled cutely and waved her hand at him:
"Hey, long time no see, Xiaoye, did you miss your mother~"
"Jirachi?! You...you can only communicate with me through dreams, right? How come you can suddenly appear in the outside world now?"
"Hmm~ Well..." He put his finger on his lips, thought for a moment, and answered energetically:
"I'm not sure! It seems that I absorbed some kind of energy in my sleep, which seems to come from a stone in Xiaoye's backpack. In addition, Xiaoye recently completed a new wish, and now my power can condense an illusion in the outside world~"
Energy? Stones... Wait!
Suddenly remembering something, Qianye's expression froze. He looked at the blonde loli with her hands on her hips and a proud look on her face, and several black lines appeared on his forehead unconsciously:
"So it was you who did it...my mega stone!!!"
