Elf: Chosen Ranger

Chapter 25 Victory and Evolution
The arrogant Big Rock Snake was the first to attack. It quickly formed three rocks and threw them at the knocking monkey.

The knocking monkey is very calm. Based on its previous experience in tree fruit training, it can easily calculate the trajectory of the rock and dodge the attack with its dexterity.

"Very good, Sound Monkey, let's use the grassy field first."

After hearing Xia Ye's command, the sound monkey put one hand on the ground. The life energy condensed in his hands spread on the ground, and for a moment, the surroundings were covered with green grass.

Seeing that its rockfall attack had no effect, the big rock snake changed its attack strategy. It hit the ground hard with its tail, hoping to knock down the sound monkey with the shock wave.

"Tread hard, but it's useless!" The skill machine in Xia Ye's hand dissipated, and new knowledge emerged in the head of the sound monkey.

At the same time, the big rock snake found that the power of his heavy step was reduced to almost nothing when it reached the feet of the knocking monkey, and the knocking monkey only briefly lost its balance.

I can't understand it. The stone head of the big rock snake can't figure out the reason at all. Damn it, if this trick doesn't work, I'll try another one!
The big rock snake was accumulating strength all over its body, preparing to crush the knocking monkey with its huge body. For some reason, it felt that its whole body was full of energy. The little thing in front of it would definitely not be able to hold on for long.

"Now, please use the new move, Knocker Monkey!"

"Roar!"

The knocking monkey slammed the ground with a wooden stick, and the big rock snake rushed towards it with a terrifying momentum, completely ignoring the knots of grass sprouting on the ground.

Be crushed by me!The big rock snake roared loudly, and suddenly it found that its vision suddenly tilted to one side. What happened? I lost my balance?

Immediately afterwards, the big rock snake's head hit the ground violently, and stars suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he almost lost consciousness.

"Your proud body has become the hammer that crushes you. Give it the final blow. Knock on the sound monkey and use the grass slide." Xia Ye did not intend to give the big rock snake a chance to resist.

With blurred vision, a green little monkey rushed towards him at an alarming speed. The big rock snake wanted to resist. It tried to prop up its body, but the opponent was too fast.

The emerald green kick hit the big rock snake hard on the head, and the dark green aura penetrated its whole body. The big rock snake felt that all its energy had been absorbed, and it lost its ability to fight.

Xia Ye was not surprised by the Knocker Monkey's victory. This was the result of its hard training, and it had just learned how to tie grass knots. The heavier the opponent's weight, the higher the damage, and the Big Rock Snake happened to be the most powerful. A heavy batch of Pokémon.

Although tying a grass knot is a special move, with the blessing of double restraint, the sound monkey can still deal a devastating blow to the big rock snake.

"A beautiful victory, Sound Monkey." The result was not unexpected, Xia Ye still praised the Sound Monkey.

"Roar~!"

The knocking monkey stood on the head of the big rock snake to celebrate its victory. It raised the wooden stick with both hands and roared to its heart's content.

Suddenly, a strong light erupted from the sound-tapping monkey.

"This is the light of evolution." The light reflected in Xia Ye's eyes and he murmured.

The wooden stick in his hand was split into two. The tone-tapping monkey's body grew longer, and its arms became slender. The light dispersed, the hair on its arms turned dark brown, and the hair on its body also changed from light green to yellow-green.

The knocking monkey evolved into the clicking monkey. It clenched the wooden stick in its hand and was a little overwhelmed. It had a higher vision, a stronger body, and the urge to play that kept emerging. This is evolution.

"You have evolved, Sound Monkey. No, I should call you Pa Dong Monkey now. Congratulations."

Xia Ye's words released the Pa Dong Monkey's passion. Now it wanted to improvise. The wooden stick in its hand was thrown into the air and rotated, and then fell steadily into its hand. The head of the big rock snake became the stone drum for its improvisation.

"Dong Dong~ Dong Dong~"

After holding the wooden sticks with both hands, the monkey's drumming became more intensive, and the originally melodious drumming became intense, no, sometimes intense and sometimes melodious, like a beating heart bursting with the breath of life, like a deep forest, quiet and long-lasting, this is unique The concerto of life that belongs to it.After releasing his passion for playing, the knocking monkey stuck two wooden sticks on his head and walked towards Xia Ye shakingly.

In fact, Big Rock Snake did not completely lose consciousness just now, but because of the impromptu performance of Pa Dong Monkey, its head was buzzing and it completely lost the idea of ​​resistance.

At this time, Xia Ye noticed that the small wooden drum on the neck of the monkey was a bit small for it now, so he suggested:

"Padong Monkey, I will make you a bigger wooden drum when I get back."

Unexpectedly, the monkey immediately grabbed the small wooden drum tightly when he heard it, with a look of reluctance.

"Don't you want to change?"

The monkey shook its head rhythmically. Of course it wanted a more suitable wooden drum, but...
"That's right, I understand." Xia Ye showed a gentle expression, "Don't worry, Pa Dong Monkey, I won't throw away this wooden drum. Well, just use it as a decoration in the wooden house."

After hearing Xia Ye's explanation, Dong Pa Monkey let go of the wooden drum and nodded seriously in response.

"Well, let's move on."

Xia Ye was ready to continue the exploration just now, but the monkey next to him was a little nervous.

"It doesn't matter, come on up, Dongpa Monkey, my figure is quite strong." Xia Ye stretched out his arms.

After seeing what he was thinking, the monkey froze in place. It slowly took off the wooden stick on its head and played fiercely. Then it walked forward resolutely. Evolution represents growth, and it can no longer act coquettishly towards Xia Ye.

"Really? I understand. Then I'll ask you to lead the way, Pa Dong Monkey."

"Boom~"

With Monkey in front and Xia Ye behind, one person and one Pokémon were just about to move forward when they suddenly noticed a young man wearing a bamboo hat walking towards them in the mist.

His complexion is dark and seems to have been exposed to wind and sun for a long time. He has a messy beard and does not care about the sight of others at all. He is wearing a gray vest and has a strong body under light-colored short sleeves.

"I came over because I heard a lot of noise. I didn't expect you to have solved it." The young man's voice was a little hoarse.

"Well, thank you for your kindness?" Xia Ye tried to answer.

"Ah? I only came because you were making too much noise and all the fish ran away." His voice was filled with dissatisfaction, "It's rare for fishing in foggy weather to be disturbed like this, but it seems that you are in danger, then I have nothing more to say.”

It turned out to be a fisherman. Xia Ye analyzed in his mind that he must know where this place is and wanted to ask him for information.

"Sorry to interrupt your fishing. My name is Xia Ye. Speaking of which, is there anything special about fishing in the fog?"

"No, it's nothing special. It will even be more difficult to fish. It's just that there are almost no people fishing in the fog. I can have the entire lake to myself."

"Lake, what lake?" Xia Ye asked.

"Of course laymen don't know that Catfish King Lake in the wilderness is a top fishing spot." The young man's words revealed an inexplicable sense of superiority.

It’s a wilderness area, so this is still Galar, but where is Catfish King Lake? I’ve never heard of it?
"Why do you look so confused? Humph, come with me and I will show you that Catfish King Lake is a holy land where you can catch fish even in foggy weather!" The young man turned around and waved his hand to signal Xia Ye to follow him, adding Last sentence:

"By the way, my name is Nat, the man who will become the fishing king in the future!"
