"Do you like insect elves?"

"Insect-type elves are really troublesome. Although they develop very quickly, it may be because they are restricted by too fast development, resulting in a much shorter lifespan than elves with other attributes. If you live with an insect-type elf, you will see that its lifespan is about to expire.

, I will definitely be in pain."

"I hate bugs. When I think of a fat bug crawling around on my body, well, even if I know it has no ill intentions towards me, I still hate it."

"I like insect elves, but the insect type is really too weak. Advancing to the main competition is already my limit."

"In your case, why do you like the insect type?"

Entering the first round of the Pikachu Cup, Ah Fai met a trainer who also commanded Bad Butterfly.

The other party’s name is Ren Liangjun.

After being defeated by himself, he fell into the loser group, and then after two more rounds, he was unfortunately eliminated, ending his journey in the Pikachu Cup.

Ah Hui has been paying attention to this person silently.

the reason is simple.

Ren Liangjun asked Ah Hui a question in the first round of the main competition.

"Brother Hui, have you ever regretted it? You chose an insect-type elf as your initial elf."

At first, Ah Hui, who was influenced by Chen Mo's live broadcast, preferred petite and cute elves like Pichu, followed by majestic and handsome elves like Bibi Bird.

The insect system was completely out of Ah Hui's consideration at that time.

"I really want to recover from my illness quickly and get in touch with those magical elves!"

Ah Hui, who was lying on the hospital bed, spent the whole day imagining what kind of elves he would get as his initial elves in the future, and dreaming about going on adventures with those elves who were full of magic, just like Chen Mo.

However.

Until one day.

Ah Hui brought the drunken Haoran to the room, and when he saw the trembling backpack, his fate seemed to have quietly changed.

On many nights in the past.

Ah Fai would always recall the night when he and the green caterpillar first met.

The extremely weak green caterpillar, with eyes full of joy, slowly crawled toward him from the dark and cramped backpack.

From that moment, Ah Hui understood one thing.

I didn’t choose the green caterpillar myself.

But the green caterpillar chose his despicable self.

"Do you like insect elves?"

This sentence.

Feng Lan asked, Chen Haoran asked, Xiao Cai asked, Chen Mo asked, and Zhao Xueer asked.

Ah Hui remembers the behavior and demeanor of every person who asked him this question.

But how to say it.

Feng Lan's way of asking questions was as relaxed and calm as "What did you eat today?" while Haoran's questions were slightly apologetic.

Xiao Cai most likely asked casually; Brother Mo meant something profound.

Only Zhao Xueer is different.

When facing Zhao Xueer's question, Ah Hui could clearly feel the scrutiny from the other party.

That girl.

He is an elf who loves bugs from the bottom of his heart, and he has completely different feelings from a trainer like him who has no choice but to be responsible for cultivating green caterpillars.

have to say.

Ah Hui, who was always able to answer his favorite questions straightforwardly in the past, hesitated when faced with Zhao Xueer's questions.

Later.

Ah Fai ran away.

It was like escaping again when faced with the heavy pressure from school and family.

Ah Hui, who hurriedly ran home, covered himself tightly with the quilt. Although it was summer, he couldn't feel the heat. His mind was blank. He didn't think about anything and didn't dare to think about anything.

Just like this, a long, long time passed.

When Ah Hui opened his eyes again.

It's getting dark.

Turning his head again, Bad Butterfly was flapping its wings and stopped in mid-air at the head of the bed. Under it, broken Poké Balls were scattered on the ground.

It is clear.

Bad Butterfly was forced to break free from the Poké Ball.

Looking at Ah Hui who was covered in sweat, Bada Huo's expression was full of worry.

But it seemed to have sensed something. Instead of making a fuss and breaking free from the elf ball, it just chose to stay quietly by Ah Hui's side.

"Hey..."

Perhaps because it saw Ah Hui waking up, the worry in Bada Butterfly's expression faded slightly. It flapped its wings, went to the window sill and brought back a wreath with some withered flowers, and then carefully put it on Ah Hui.

This is the most precious treasure of Bada Butterfly.

The origin comes from the Bad Butterfly couple I met in the Evergreen Forest.

As a symbol of friendship and trust, Badahu and his wife specially knitted a garland and gave it to Ah Hui when they were leaving. Ah Hui later gave it to Badahu, who was still a green caterpillar at the time.

certainly.

It has been a long, long time since my trip to the Evergreen Forest.

Naturally, a garland made of flowers cannot remain bright all the time. The garland withered several times during this period. However, in order not to make the green caterpillar sad, Ah Hui would buy fresh flowers and weave the garland again every time.

It continues until now.

Badahu put her most cherished garland on Ah Hui's body at this moment, and its meaning is self-evident.

Elves are very simple.

Bada Huo didn't understand what happened to Ah Hui.

But Badahu hopes that Ah Hui will get better soon.

Life is always imperfect.

The growth rate far exceeds the growth rate of ordinary elves, allowing insect elves to reach their limits faster.

Whether it's strength or longevity.

but.

Perhaps it is precisely because of their weakness and their extremely short life that the insect elves cherish the precious things they encounter in life even more, even if they have to sacrifice everything for them.

at this point.

Even the extremely ferocious giant needle wasp is no exception.

"Do you like insect elves?"

Tears continued to slide down Ah Hui's cheeks, dripping on the withered wreath.

This time.

Ah Fai was finally able to answer without hesitation.

"like."

…

"Ah! What a pity! The freezing light of the Edelweiss Moth almost grazed the wings of the Bad Butterfly, just a little bit!"

"However, the cooperation between player Ah Hui and Bada Huo is also quite amazing. Even though it was a snowy day and the visibility was so low, player Ah Hui was still able to determine the direction of the freezing light at the first time, and then use the least amount of effort to

Information has provided Bada Butterfly with the most help, and Bada Butterfly can also understand commands and even execute them perfectly. This tacit understanding can be said to be one of the best in this Pikachu Cup!"

The host's admiring voice spread throughout the entire ring arena through the speakers.

In the staff tunnel.

Zhou Yichuan stood at the exit, looking at the two insect elves flying in the distance in the snowy sky.

at this time.

A sound of footsteps sounded from behind.

Zhou Yichuan turned his head.

I only saw a familiar figure walking slowly towards the exit.

"Xiao Mo, what are you..."

Zhou Yichuan looked at the bright garland held in Chen Mo's hand with a confused expression, as if he was wondering where Chen Mo got this thing.

Both Android and Apple are available.]

"Isn't it a gift from a pretty fan I met on the road?"

Zhou Yichuan said with a evil smile.

"How can there be..."

Chen Mo glanced at the wreath in his hand and smiled slightly.
