Elf: Chosen Ranger

Chapter 24 Time and Space Distortion Mist Grass
After reaching a plan to promote tree fruits with Mr. Ged, Xia Ye's life as a forest ranger returned to peace.

I patrol the Sunset Forest every day, plant trees and grass, occasionally help train Pokémon in the forest, and assist everyone in picking fruits.

Ma Li's gym challenge journey also went very smoothly. She easily completed the challenge of the Water Boat Arena with her ace, Morubeke. Because of her outstanding performance, the number of fans paying attention to her gradually increased.

The tree fruit promotion and the Mali Gym challenge promotion complement each other. According to Mr. Gad, there are already people who come specifically to visit Spike Town.

The depressed townspeople have seen hope. Now Spike Town is undergoing a vigorous transformation in order to leave a good impression on tourists and live up to the efforts of Xia Ye, Ma Li and everyone else.

"Here, little wood spirit, this is your wooden sign."

In the forest cabin, Xia Ye hung the wooden sign with the position engraved on the branch above the head of the little wood spirit. It was the third little wood spirit born in the Sunset Forest.

Then, the two predecessors of the little wood spirit floated over and touched the branches above its head with branches. This was the little wood spirit's unique way of communication. They were conveying joyful emotions.

"Please continue to protect the forest, come on."

Xia Ye waved goodbye to the little wood spirits. They swayed happily, turned around and disappeared from sight through the wall. It was so convenient for ghost-type Pokémon to travel.

[New members form a group and receive props: Bergamot saplings. Bergamot: The favorite tree fruit of ghost-type Pokémon. It has magical power and can be made into a lucky charm after drying. 】

The voice of the forest ranger assistant sounded. The props obtained this time were indeed related to the little wood spirit, but compared with the previous introduction of tree fruits, this time there was an added effect.

[Get the item evolution box (once). The evolution box: can be converted into any item needed to evolve Pokémon with the help of items. 】

In this world, the evolution of Pokémon is diverse. Some Pokémon require props to evolve, such as the Eevee family. Due to unstable genes, they will evolve after touching evolution stones that contain a large amount of attribute energy. .

For example, Eevee will evolve into Fire Eevee after touching the Fire Stone. If it is replaced with the Thunder Stone, it will evolve into Thunder Eevee.

Kodama is also a type of special evolution. Unlike props, they need to evolve during the process of exchanging Pokémon.

According to researchers' experiments, it seems that Pokémon will be stimulated by electric current during the exchange process, so they will evolve during the exchange process.

Based on this research, they explain why this particular group of Pokémon was able to evolve before Pokémon Swapping was invented.

The conclusion is simple, stimulation, they undergo some kind of stimulation in the environment where they live in the wild, which leads to evolution.

This conclusion also allows everyone to understand why certain Pokémon are so rare in the wild, because they not only need stimulation, but also need corresponding props to evolve.

Can the evolution box be transformed into the props the little wood spirit needs?
Xia Ye thinks it is feasible. A special prop connecting rope once appeared in the Xicui area. This prop can allow Ghost Stone to evolve into Gengar, and the effect is exactly the same as Pokémon exchange.

It is said that the contact rope was a prop that suddenly appeared in the Xicui area after the distortion of time and space dissipated. Xia Ye speculated that this may be a prop invented by future researchers based on the principle of evolution, but it came to a time and space that did not belong to it.

Now Xia Ye is faced with a choice, whether to help the little wood spirit evolve.

The Pokémon that evolved from Kodama is called Deadwood. It sounds like a scary name, but it is actually the guardian of the forest.

It has the ability to control the trees in the forest, will severely punish humans who destroy the forest, and is very kind to the Pokémon living in the forest. Some powerful individuals even have the power to regulate the ecological environment of the forest.

"Well, it's not bad for Sunset Forest. Let's ask for its opinion next time we meet it."

If Xia Ye was a Pokémon hunter, he would definitely not want to visit a forest inhabited by a rotten wood demon, but he was a forest ranger, and he would definitely welcome the appearance of the rotten wood demon with both hands.

[The second time and space distortion will start in 5 minutes, please be prepared. 】

A sudden voice in his heart interrupted Xia Ye's thoughts. Will the distortion of time and space begin in 5 minutes?
He quickly set off to prepare supplies, put on his backpack, and took the knocking monkey to the outside of the wooden house.

Because he was well prepared for the first time and space distortion, Xia Ye did not panic when facing this sudden time and space distortion.

"The knocking monkey is ready, the second time and space distortion is about to begin." "Roar!" After the first experience, the knocking monkey is not nervous at all. If it encounters trouble, just watch it. The training these days was not in vain.

[The distortion of time and space begins. 】

The scenery in front of him changed rapidly. When Xia Ye opened his eyes again, he found himself in an empty and sparse grassland. The sky was covered with dark clouds and a light mist floated around him.

Because of the fog, the surrounding air is very humid, giving people an eerie atmosphere.

“Is this a wild area somewhere?”

Xia Ye looked around through the mist. There was no trace of human beings, which further confirmed his suspicion.

The knocking monkey lying on Xia Ye's shoulder hates this humid atmosphere, and the weather is the cloudy day it hates the most.

The scene it likes is the gentle sunlight shining on it through the gaps in the canopy. It would be better if Xia Ye stayed by her side to listen to it play.

Thinking like this, the drumming monkey started its familiar performance, and the melodious drum beat could wipe away even the gloomy mood due to the weather.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

The drumming sound of the drumming monkey is full of penetration and spreads quickly in the open grassland.

"Drumming. If a human hears it, it will react. What a great idea, knocking monkey."

Xia Ye's compliment made the tone-tapping monkey a little embarrassed. It was just a whim and didn't think much of it at all.

Then, the drumming monkey played even harder, trying to make a drum sound worthy of Xia Ye's praise.

"Well, let's move forward."

Because of the fog, Xia Ye walked very slowly. At the same time, he was constantly observing the nearby situation. Suddenly, he stopped and a huge rock snake raised its head lying on the ground and let out a terrifying roar at them. roar.

"Big Rock Snake?!"

Xia Ye exclaimed softly, and then slowly backed away, for fear of disturbing the other party.

However, the big rock snake obviously didn't want to let them go. It waved its huge rock tail and swept towards Xia Ye, turning over the soil on the ground.

Thanks to the ranger skill that improved his physique, he was able to barely escape this dangerous attack. Looking at the deep ravine left on the grass, he breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's so dangerous. Are all Pokémon in the wild so aggressive?"

This is completely different from the Pokémon in Sunset Forest.

Then Xia Ye turned to look at the drumming monkey. Just as he was about to ask if it was okay, he saw its guilty expression. Could it be that the drumming monkey thought that its drumming had woken up the big rock snake and that was why I was attacked?

Immediately, Xia Ye showed a gentle expression:

"Drummonkey, listen carefully, your drumming will not make anyone or any Pokémon irritated. This big rock snake probably attacked us because it was invading its territory."

"Roar" the tone monkey's eyes were in a daze. It didn't expect that Xia Ye would still take care of his emotions in this situation.

"Since the other party is merciless, we don't have to endure it anymore." Xia Ye assumed a commanding posture, "Come on, Sound Monkey, let him feel the power of double restraint moves!"

"Roar!" The tone-tapping monkey returned to its usual appearance, pulled out the wooden stick above its head and dropped it on the grass.

The big rock snake is filled with disdain. Does such a little thing want to defeat me?
