Pokémon: Why do you call me the sixth trainer?

Chapter 137: Grass-type Secret Realm: The disappeared native elves?

The author will provide a schematic diagram of the environment in this section.

...

In the end, the voice of going back temporarily and waiting for the patrol to confirm it was safe before continuing deeper prevailed.

Seeing that the discussion had almost come to a conclusion, the captain also breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he announced the news that everyone would go back together,

It was interrupted by a few voices.

"I won't go back." Chen An/Chen Ming/Chen Xing said in unison.

"I need to go over and confirm the nearby environment. If it is caused by the new elves, there may still be traces of it now," - Chen Ming. From the researcher’s enthusiasm for the unknown (don’t believe it)

"If I stay to protect my brother, I won't be with you anymore." - Chen Xing. Justifiable reasons.

"..." Chen An, who simply didn't want to follow a stranger, didn't say anything and just stood beside the two of them to express support.

After some persuasion, they found that Chen Ming was unmoved and left without forcing him.

Voices such as "I'm really desperate" and "Wait for S" came from the wind. Several people listened silently, their expressions unchanged.

——After all, most of them are just ordinary people who came in out of curiosity. It is human nature to try their best to ensure their own safety when encountering unknown situations.

...

"Shall we go there?" Seeing the group of people disappearing one after another, Chen Ming patted the lamb next to him.

..

The three lambs were jumping on the steep cliff, and after a while, they reached the bottom of the cliff.

Different from the scorched blackness seen on the hillside, the forest in front of me seemed to be just wrapped in something black.

You can even see countless grasses, some of which seem to be soaked in black ink, and some of which are still verdant green.

However, even so, they did not stop.

...

And as we got closer, with about four or five kilometers left,

The lambs, Kapok Ball, and Soraya all reacted to varying degrees - the lambs stopped moving, while Kapok Ball and Soraya frowned, and their bodies stiffened unconsciously, etc.

But the elves around them didn't react at all.

Even Gardevoir shook his head to indicate that he didn't feel anything strange.

Sensing something was wrong, several people stopped decisively.

Lucario and Elledo showed up, but didn't notice anything unusual.

His eyes swept across the elves, and Chen Ming, who had been thinking for a few seconds, suddenly spoke.

"Are your kapok balls and Eevee wild or native elves?"

＜Wild elves: elves who live far away from human society and live in nature. ＞

＜Native elves: elves who have always lived in an independent secret realm. ＞

Several of them nodded.

"Then," Chen Ming turned around, "maybe the sense of crisis in their genes is warning them not to get close."

"Let's go back first."

The group of people slowly retreated,

After walking a certain distance, the conditions of the lamb and Kapok returned to normal.

"It seems we still need to ask the native elves."

Chen Ming explained to the two of them.

"Native elves and wild elves have the most instinctive reactions to some strange things, but elves who grow up in human society do not have these things."

"For example, a flower that is inconspicuous but poisonous, native wild elves will subconsciously avoid it, while elves who grew up with humans may not have the awareness to avoid it. But when they are at a dangerous distance, the instinct in their bodies will react to some extent. It’s just that they might ignore the anomaly.”

"Although these lambs have grown up in a secret realm since they were young, they spend a lot of time with humans and are not really wild elves,"

"Although Kapok and Ibrahimovic (referring to Zoroa) were originally wild elves, they have lived in human society for a period of time. This kind of instinctive thing may have been affected, and they will be like lambs. It only reacts when you get close.”

The two people who learned this for the first time listened blankly.

However, after the three of them walked along the perimeter for a long time, they did not see the shadow of a single native elf.

"Is it a migration?"

“It’s more of an escape than a relocation.”

Chen Ming pointed to a few inconspicuous small fruits in the grass.

"This is the fruit of Sakura Treasure. It contains the energy to support the evolution of elves. Except for Sakura Treasure itself, no elf can give up on it. And there are several scattered here, which proves that the elves are in a hurry to escape and are too anxious to care. These."

From entering the secret realm to here, the straight-line distance is more than 100 kilometers. In such a large area, the elves have disappeared.

How terrifying are those black things, or unknown things, in their perception?
