No.3 The behemoth roaring loudly
(2018.9.22 Revised)
Since the travelers from another world opened their eyes, a week has passed. Xiaoye gradually became familiar with the new life in a pure white town.
The tragic scene she had worried about before, "I was so penniless that I could only eat weeds" did not happen. After carefully checking the room she woke up, she found a bank card with identity certificate under her pillow - the Pokémon Alliance will issue 5,000 Elf Coins monthly minimum living allowance to all unemployed citizens. Apart from the subsidy received at the beginning of the month, there is no other record of the transaction. Like her current residence, it is full of the ironic "new character account".
The Poker Coin [Poker] is a common currency within the jurisdiction of the Pokémon Alliance, and its purchasing power is similar to the Japanese yen in Xiaoye's cognition. 5000pd is not a large number, but Zhenxin Town is a small town with generally low prices, so it is still possible to maintain a basic life. You can also pick a variety of trees and fruits in the forest, which are nutritious and cost-effective ingredients.
After confirming that basic life is guaranteed, Xiaoye began to try to understand the world and what he should do next - the compulsory education of the Pokémon Alliance has been in total for five years. Children usually enroll at the age of five and graduate at the age of ten. Students who have obtained elementary school diplomas will be identified as adults in the law of the alliance, and they will be allowed to choose whether they are traveling, employment or continuing to study.
Xiaoye found a transfer notice sent to her by the only primary school in Zhenxin Town in the email address at the door of the house. The primary school is currently in the winter vacation and will not start in early February.
After roughly browsing the content taught by the elementary school of Pokémon League, Saya suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.
——If she didn't do anything, she was sure that she would be known as a "real fool in the new town" on the first day of school.
So, with a feeling of grief that "Why is the holiday always harder than the semester", visitors from other worlds didn't have time to complain that they had changed from middle school students to elementary school students, and they could be called returning to before liberation overnight, and they were engaged in hard struggle.
After realizing that she had to complete the first four years of elementary school in one month, Xiaoye gave up the idea of learning the knowledge carefully, and began to swallow it quickly as the goal. Apart from the arithmetic and self-taught Mandarin, courses such as society, history, and Pokémon common sense are completely unfamiliar to Xiaoye - thanks to the bookstore owner for selling her old textbooks at a cheap price, which prevented her from going bankrupt on the spot for spiritual wealth.
During the dizzy learning task, Xiaoye would walk around the back mountain south of Zhenxin Town at a fixed time every day. Nature with fresh air is a good place to adjust its condition and is also a place for exercise.
The back mountain of Zhenxin Town is an unknown mountain ridge located south of Zhenxin Town. It is far from the bustling city and is sparsely populated, and only the residents of Zhenxin Town occasionally set foot. The southern border of the mountain is an empty beach, adjacent to the sea.
For children in Zhenxin Town, the back mountain jungle is a natural amusement place. There are many Pokémons in the mountains, most of which are gentle and do not like to fight. As long as you don’t take the initiative to provoke Pokémon, you usually won’t encounter any danger.
Of course, there were a lot of weeds and branches in the back mountain, which made Xiaoye feel that cutting his hair shorter that day was the right choice - the hairstyle created by scissors was a bit messy, but at least there would be no more tragedy of hair and grass tangling together again.
Physical exercise with a fixed daily length is a habit that Xiaoye developed since childhood. Although she has occupied her new body, she no longer has the power to control wind and thunder, and there is no "evil and revenge of elders" to be wary of here, it is always beneficial to strengthen her body.
——And during regular exercise, the girl soon discovered the differences in the human physique in this world.
"Humans" are not as fragile species as cognitively in other worlds. They are not afraid of ordinary electric shocks or bumps. The rampage of small Pokémon is difficult to hurt humans, and strong adult men can even fight with the fighting Pokémon. Xiaoye once saw a middle-aged man selling vegetables at the market fighting with his Shawarang, and there were still many people around watching and applauding - it is said that this is a repertoire program after the morning market ends.
After thinking about it carefully, Xiaoye thought this situation was reasonable. Since humans can survive in a world full of Pokémon and become the dominant player of this planet, they will naturally not be creatures that will be easily killed by the weak Pokémon.
Thanks to her master, Xiaoye's bare hands fighting skills are quite proficient. Even if she is unlucky, she can protect herself and not be chewed to death. She used to be better at fighting with a knife, but...
No knife.
Looking at the Knife with the lowest price of 50,000 Elf Coins in the store, Xiaoye felt that he could only take a look.
Elf Calendar January 7, 999, morning.
"Boom--"
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard, and Xiaoye, who was picking the fruits, turned back in confusion.
She saw a faint smoke and dust rising not far away, as if something heavy was falling to the ground, and the sound kept roaring.
Compared to some cities that are often plagued by the Pokémon riots, Zhenxin Town is a rather peaceful town. At least in the week I came here, Xiaoye had never heard such a big noise in the back mountain jungle.
Could it be that the wild Pokémon is fighting?
“Hu, Hu…”
The old man in a white coat was running in the forest panting, his originally snow-white coat was covered with dust, looking particularly embarrassed.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! It's my fault to disturb you to sleep..." The old man in a white coat shouted in anger.
"Roar oh oh oh oh oh!" The answer to the old man was a roar and the flying stones.
——Dr. Damu felt that his luck today was terrible.
In the early morning, he went to the rocks on the back mountain to observe the ecology of Xiaoquanshi as usual. Unexpectedly, a man accidentally slipped and fell in front of a cave under the rock slope. Dr. Damu, who was curious, couldn't help but go into the cave to check it out, but he didn't expect that he would disturb a giant sleeping in it.
Dr. Damu, with a bitter face, ran across a corner in a mess and suddenly saw a person not far ahead.
It was a boy who looked only eight or nine years old - maybe a boy? He was washed clean with white clothes, and his gentle short purple hair was chaotic by the wind. The child was looking back at this side, and his expression seemed a little confused.
There are few outside visitors in Zhenxin Town, and the strange face made Dr. Damu stunned for a moment. However, the heavy footsteps behind him made him know that he had no time to get distracted. He immediately pulled his neck and shouted, "Escape!"
The visitor who walked steadily and was comparable to the track and field champion was a familiar person to all the residents of Zhenxin Town. Xiaoye had seen Dr. Omu from afar at the market. Although the doctor herself had run to the point of being vague in the dynamic, she still recognized the other person's identity at a glance.
Before Xiaoye could react to what the miserable "Escape" meant, Dr. Oki grabbed Xiaoye's hand without saying a word and continued to run desperately.
The sound of huge footsteps getting closer and closer made Xiaoye vaguely guess something. She turned around and happened to see a wide foot poking out from the turn, and stepped on her neatly stacked tree fruits on the ground into juice.
It was a huge creature like an upright dinosaur. The surface of the heavy body was covered with steel-like armor, and the sharp heads had already rotated, as if they wanted to pierce the humans in front of them into human strings...
The horned rhinoceros beast, the steeping Pokémon, is attributed to the ground rock - although it was the first time I saw the original, combined with its appearance characteristics, Xiaoye quickly recognized its race.
I remember that the textbook wrote that the horned rhinoceros beast has strong destructive power, but its senses are as dull as before evolution and is not easy to get angry. For some reason, the horned rhinoceros beast that Xiaoye saw at this moment looked extremely angry. When he ran, he didn't even avoid the obstacles in front of him, and rushed to crack the branches of the surrounding trees.
It was precisely because the dense trees blocked the footsteps of the horned rhinoceros beast that Xiaoye predicted it and felt that it would not catch up with her for a while. So she blinked and completed the usual greeting session first, "Hello, Dr. Oki. I'm glad to see you."
Dr. Oki: "Huh...huh..."
I don’t know if it was scared by the horned rhinoceros or the annoying line from Sae Ye, the tortured doctor didn’t say anything.
Seeing that Dr. Damu seemed to be panting very quickly, Saya felt that he could understand the bad feeling of an old man being chased by a ferocious beast. He thoughtfully supported Dr. Damu's arm with both hands, trying to make the old man run easier - although the old man's expression seemed to be even more weird after doing this. Then he asked carefully, "Doctor, what happened?"
Perhaps the support from a nine-year-old child was really effective - the child thought that Dr. Oki was speechless this time and replied without breathing, "I accidentally entered the nest of the horned rhinoceros beast and woke it up."
When Xiaoye heard this, she looked back at the appearance of the horned rhinoceros who was so angry that she almost lost her mind. When she showed a thoughtful look, Dr. Oki suddenly said, "——But I think it's not just because I woke it up."
The old man promised that he would not fall was his limit and he did not look back at the pursuit's free time, but he still said confidently, "This horned rhinoceros is likely to be injured. You..."
"I'm Xiaoye, please give me some advice."
"Well, Xiaoye, see if there is any incongruity in its movements?"
"Yes." Xiaoye responded, his steps under his feet were still light, and he carefully observed the appearance of the horned rhinoceros beast.
"…There is no scar on the front of its body, and the force of its feet on the ground is almost the same. I guess if it is injured, the wound should not be on the legs?"
Xiaoye expressed his guess. Seeing that Dr. Oki nodded in agreement, he continued, "Its arm swinging posture is a bit stiff, as if he dared not turn his body sharply. Could it be that his shoulders or back were injured?"
"It should be the back." Dr. Oki analyzed, "The horned rhinoceros beast has short arms and is covered with hard armor. If there is any injury to the shoulder, it can barely deal with it by itself, but if the injury to the back is powerless."
"I understand." Xiaoye raised his face and looked at Dr. Oki, "Doctor, what should we do now?"
"First of all, we must determine how its injury is. If it is serious, we must deal with it immediately." Dr. Oki scratched his head trickyly, "but now it can't calm down, and we can't observe it, let alone treat it..."
Xiaoye nodded thoughtfully, "Then...I'll go see the situation?"
"What...!" Before Dr. Damu could react, he felt the hands that were supporting him relaxed.
The old man watched the child with a raw face turn around and rush towards the horned rhinoceros, and his scream was immediately stuck in his throat. The extremely angry horned rhinoceros could not tell who was the human being who disturbed his dreams. When he saw someone approaching him, his arm hammer shining with silver light hit him on his head.
The scene of "the horned rhinoceros beat the child" that Dr. Ogi was worried about did not happen. The purple-haired girl turned around and let the arm hammer pass, flashing with the storm of smoke and dust, and in the blink of an eye, she walked around behind the horned rhinoceros.
She saw that the armor behind the ferocious beast was covered with scars, and a crack was cracked near the left shoulder. A stone thorn was stuck in it, and the blood stained on it had turned into dark black.
Xiaoye jumped up without hesitation. Her hand accurately held the foreign object that made the horned rhinoceros beast painful, pulled it out hard, and the stone thorns and bright red blood flowers flew together.
The giant beast roared in pain. It turned around hard and swung its arm behind it. The girl's toes had already tapped lightly on its thick spine, and her body retreated a few meters back and landed safely.
The angry horned rhinoceros wanted to continue chasing, but after taking two steps forward, pausing for a moment, revealing a confused look. It moved its body tentatively, as if it had noticed something.
The girl spread her hands and showed the blood-stained stone thorns to the horned rhinoceros.
"I pulled it out so you won't feel uncomfortable." The purple-haired girl tilted her head and smiled calmly, as if she was facing a giant beast that could easily hurt her.
“—Can we treat you?”
