Xia Chen has always warned himself not to look at the world with a rigid eye.
Whether it's an elf or someone you know well in animation or games.
The world line changes, and no one can guarantee whether it is still where they know it.
This is a truth he realized after discovering that Ming Yi had become his childhood sweetheart.
According to this logic, even if the person in front of him is Sirona, Soraya should not be told to her.
Ma Xiu knew that there was nothing she could do about it. Zoroa was successfully reincarnated in front of her, so she couldn't use hypnosis to make her forget, right?
But from another logical point of view, if we don’t look at the world with stereotypes, how should we look at it?
Naturally, you should use your normal judgment to get to know them.
Although I have only met Sirona for a few days, saying how well I know her will only make me appear too confident and superficial.
But judging from the details and aspects of getting along with each other in life, Xia Chen felt that Sister Zhulan took care of him all the time.
Sincerity can never be faked, and Xia Chen understands this even more after gaining superpowers.
All her behaviors, even every tiny movement, made Xia Chen feel that he knew Sirona better - she was kind to him.
What's more, since she is already at the top, she has no need to act just for her own sake.
So Xia Chen finally decided to tell the truth about this secret that had been hidden deep in his heart for a long time.
This is his confidence in his own judgment, and even more trust in Sirona.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Xia Chen looked at Sirona and said seriously: "Sister Zhulan, I am going to say something next. Don't be afraid."
Sirona is a little confused. What else in this world can scare her?
The two dragons of time and space appear and fight?
Giratina returns from the reverse world?
But Xia Chen looked serious, which made Sirona a little nervous.
She guessed in a solemn tone: "Which legendary elf is about to awaken? Palkia? Dialga? It can't be Giratina, right?"
Xia Chen: "."
It doesn't have to be so serious.
Forget it, no more jokes.
…………
Xia Chen coughed lightly and said, "That's right, my Soraya is a little special."
Sirona was surprised that Xia Chen, who discovered Ibrahimovic's new evolved form, could say the word "special". It seemed to be quite special.
Xia Chen didn't show off and called Zoroa over.
"Soraya, change it for me quickly. No, let me change it for Sister Zhulan."
"Yo~"
The little fox walked over timidly. She was used to wearing a mask, but she suddenly had to show her true appearance in front of people other than Xia Chen and her friends. She was a little shy for a while.
But she was very comfortable getting along with Sirona and Lucario these days, so she wasn't afraid.
Transformation is the innate ability of the Zoroa clan. It does not even require the use of too much energy. With a thought, a faint gray mist enveloped the little fox's figure.
The next moment, the gray fog dissipated, and the dark gray Zoroa disappeared.
Instead, there was a cute little fox covered in snow-white body, with ears and tail gradually turning into a light cherry pink color.
The most peculiar thing was the hair-like and flame-like gas rising above her head.
The keen Sirona immediately sensed that this was a thing filled with ghostly energy.
Although after Xia Chen's reminder, Sirona was a little mentally prepared.
But she was still a little shocked when she saw Zoroa performing a huge transformation into a living fox in front of her.
There is actually a Zoroa in this form?
Hidden quite deep
Sirona was not too surprised that she and her champion elves did not notice anything unusual about Soraya.
First of all, they didn't think about it at all, and naturally they wouldn't do such rude things as detecting and sensing the aura of other people's spirits in their spare time.
Second, as a talent that the Zoroa clan is proud of for their survival, Zoroa's transformation ability is extremely strong, especially for an object with the same body shape, but with a different skin.
If Xia Chen hadn't told her and Zoroa hadn't fought, they might not have discovered it in another month.
But all said and done, Zoroa’s new skin is really pretty.
Sirona carefully observed the timid little fox who had taken off his disguise, with surprise in his eyes.
The original Pisora is not unlovable, but the dark tones inevitably give people a gloomy feeling.
But the little white fox is really pretty.
But hey, are all Xia Chen’s elves this pink and tender and cute?
…………
After being amazed, Sirona was also a little moved.
She had also seen Xia Chen's hesitation before. At that time, she thought it was a matter of choosing the elves to fight, but she didn't expect it to be something like this.
She didn't know the origin of this Zoroa, but she knew that it was not a Zoroa in any known regional form.
Sirona, who has experienced thousands of sails, deeply understands how precious the little fox is.
Special elves such as the Snowman Kirby and the Crystal Rock Snake that existed in history caused a storm around the world when they were born.
Ordinary people can never imagine how crazy those so-called elf collectors are for rare elf.
It's not about money anymore, it's about stealing and robbery. They can do any despicable, dark and bottomless thing, and it's not their hands that are dirty anyway.
And in front of such unique elves as the Snowman Kirbymon, the heterochromatic quasi-gods are as dim as the fireflies in the bright moon.
This special Zoroa, who looks like a ghost, is undoubtedly one of them.
And a young man like Xia Chen, who is precocious and precocious, would actually tell himself this secret
This is undoubtedly an act of great trust.
Sirona felt a hint of joy in her heart that she didn't realize she had. She knelt down and stroked the cute little fox, and then looked up at Xia Chen.
"By the way, you probably didn't tell anyone else about this, right? What you did was right. It would be very dangerous if others knew about this kind of thing."
Sirona subconsciously excluded herself from "others".
Xia Chen was a little embarrassed, "Well, Ma Xiu also knows about this."
Sirona: "."
Okay, just pretend I didn’t say it.
Xia Chen coughed lightly and explained: "The main reason is that when Zoroa was reborn in his current ghost form, Ma Xiu was beside him."
So that’s it.
The haze that just appeared in Sirona's heart was immediately dispelled. There is still a big difference between active and passive.
After figuring this out, Sirona noticed the key point in Xia Chen's words. Soraya was reborn as a ghost after death?
She asked curiously: "Can you elaborate?"
Now that everything has happened, Xia Chen naturally has no need to hide the past. He looked at Soraya and told her about her past.
"Everything started when I was teased by that Gengar when I was traveling in the Kalos region."
…………
"Last month, I learned from a teacher of the ghost-type specialization course about the possible existence of the ghost attribute Zoroa in the Xicui area, so I suddenly asked you about Xicui. And then, now.
Already."
After more than ten minutes of narration, his mouth was really dry. After drinking some water, Xia Chen waited for Sirona's reaction.
Sister Zhulan stroked Soraya more gently and compassionately. After being silent for a while, she said: "Well, I probably understand. I will help you pay attention to it in the future. So what are you going to do now, Soraya?"
Are you going to stop fighting from now on?"
Xia Chen was also a little helpless, "Let's do this for now, wait until she evolves into Zoroark, and then we will temporarily explain it as a branched evolutionary form that is still under study."
Sirona thought for a while, and it seemed that she had no better way, so she nodded noncommittally.
The secret is revealed, and the next step is the guidance battle between Kirulian and Zoroa.
Due to attribute restraint, Zoroa's performance was slightly better than Kirulian's.
Sirona also commented on the performance of the two elves one by one as she did yesterday, and after finishing her review, she looked at Xia Chen strangely.
"Why do I feel that your elf's combat experience is no worse than that of some trainers who have been around for three or four years? You are too mature in handling some areas."
Xia Chen spread his hands and said frankly: "I don't understand either. Maybe they all have special skills."
But this is not a big problem. In short, except for Dulong Mexia, Xia Chen's other four elves have all appeared in front of Sirona.
Sirona's evaluation of Xia Chen and his elves is, "The qualifications of a champion!"
She put down her prophecy, "The next Eight Masters Tournament in three years may be a bit early, but in seven years, we will definitely meet on that stage."
Sirona was suddenly in a trance.
At that time, Xia Chen was only twenty-four years old, which was even more exaggerated than his own record of twenty-five years old at the end of last year.
Really, I look forward to that day coming.
——————
October 10th, moderate rain.
After the second rain in early autumn, Xia Chen could clearly feel that the air around him was getting cooler.
Today is the eighth day of exploring the ruins and the sixth day of underground work. The biting land shark has not dug up anything valuable so far.
However, only a small half of the entire underground has been explored so far. The progress of the exploration of the ruins cannot be said to be very slow. It can only be said that it is more or less passive.
There are twenty-four hours a day, eight hours of sleeping, four hours of cooking and eating, and two hours of rest after each meal. Sirona also gives Xia Chen and his elves training and combat lessons from time to time.
After adding, adding, subtracting, the actual working time is three hours a day.
Xia Chen felt like he was not here for archeology, but rather like he had followed Sirona to the deep mountains and forests to practice cultivation.
Of course Xia Chen couldn't be more happy about this kind of life, and even hoped that such days could last longer.
After a week, under Sirona's careful guidance, he felt that his understanding of elf cultivation and battles had improved quantitatively.
There is still no clue about the ghost-type Zoroa.
But Xia Chen understood that this was something that could not be rushed.
The entire Xicui area is so large that it is not known where Zoroa's habitat is. It is normal that there is no effective information about this small ruins.
…………
October 12th, cloudy.
Xia Chen felt that his elves were a little abnormal again. Menas often looked at a place in a daze, and Doron Mexia was a little too excited these days.
I don’t know what these two mindless and unhappy people are thinking about.
However, it is worth noting that through the perception of mental power, Xia Chen discovered that Xiao Duolong's strength has grown rapidly in the past few days.
It seems that the suspected Giratina scale works well.
Xia Chen felt a little proud.
Although it was a bit embarrassing to say it, this was the first time he figured out why his elf's strength had grown so rapidly.
It seems that I am still of some use as a trainer~
Wait, this scale was also picked up by Xianbu, and it seems to have nothing to do with him.
Forget it, you have to eat soft food, why do you have a bad stomach?
Consoling himself in this way, Xia Chen put on protective equipment and followed Sirona to the ruins. Instead of fishing for a new day, a new day of work was about to begin.
The statue of the Two Dragons of Time and Space is probably in the middle of the entire ruins. In eight days, Liebiting Land Shark almost dug it from the entrance to this place.
Of course, this does not mean that the ability to bite the land shark can only go so far. If she is willing, she can dig through this place in half an hour.
But archeology is not just about digging holes. The important thing is to unearth things underground. Not only does the movement need to be much smaller, but it also requires exploration at the same time.
Fortunately, the two missile-like protrusions on the head of the biting land shark can act as sensors, and Lucario and Xia Chen can also help, which makes it much more convenient.
Although Xia Chen's help was a bit like "Silona and I are invincible together".
In short, Xia Chen and a few elves started exploring after jumping into a huge pit several meters deep.
…………
Underground exploration is much more cumbersome than surface exploration. After all, there are obstacles such as mud and rocks. Xia Chen's not-so-powerful superpower often encounters obstacles.
But for the championship-level Biting Land Shark and Lucario, this is nothing.
With the two elves working together, the survey progressed rapidly.
In less than an hour, they dug from the feet of Palkia to the feet of Dialga.
Although what was obtained were the same stone tablets, sacrificial supplies of the Washui people, elf props, etc., they were not much different from those found on the ground.
Before we knew it, it was time to call it a day and start cooking.
"Xia Chen, bite the shark hard, let's go, it's almost eleven o'clock, go back to eat."
Sirona stood outside the pit and shouted.
Xia Chen suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar.
After searching carefully in his mind, he remembered that this scene was very similar to the old days when men farmed and women weaved. After the wife cooked a meal at home, she went to call her husband, who was farming in the farmland, to come home for dinner.
Strange, why do I have such a strange association?
Shaking his head, Xia Chen threw away the ridiculous thoughts in his mind, clapped his hands and prepared to climb out.
The biting land shark next to him suddenly froze.
Of course she was not jealous or angry because of the ridiculous reason "Silona called Xia Chen first instead of her", but because she sensed something underground.
And it seems to be a living thing.
Go home, update less, and have a happy New Year’s Eve, okay~
