Elf-like Life

Chapter 106, Weather

By the way, speaking of the weather, fog is the most distinctive feature of this area.

Using the fog as a natural barrier to protect the tribe also allows the apple trees in the surrounding apple orchards to grow in a moist environment.

At first, the little dragon thought that the fog was a unique weather feature of the Long-nosed Leaf Tribe area.

However, as the Soul-Hooking Eye continued to recall the past, everyone's doubts grew.

Although it was a long time ago when I last came here, the fog was clearly not this thick then; the entire Apple Forest was bathed in sunlight.

The little dragon suddenly realized something:

"Wait, does that mean the weather here used to be a sunny day with plenty of sunshine?"

"cough!"

The leader of the wooden tengu clan coughed again with regret:

"That's right, to be honest."

"Our Long-Nosed Leaf Tribe has long enjoyed 85% direct sunlight, which is why the green apple forest that we have protected for generations has grown so well."

"Hey, hey, hey, has it been foggy lately?" (Pikachu looked up and asked.)

The team leader, unable to contain his anxiety, interjected:

"It's not just recently!"

"Since the pandemic spread, the weather in this area has completely changed. For most of the year, it's been foggy all day long, and even the head of the village can't do anything about it."

Now everything is clear.

The Long-Nosed Leaf tribe has not seen any sunlight for at least six months, which has caused the Green Apple Forest to grow only in the misty environment.

Sunlight is particularly crucial for the fruit production of apple trees.

According to the leader of the Wood Tengu...

Green apple trees cannot grow in a damp environment all the time; they must receive sunlight regularly. Otherwise, let alone 10-year-old green apples, not even a single green apple will yield a good harvest.

However, the little dragon immediately had a brilliant idea.

When it comes to weather, it's a whole field of knowledge in Pokémon games, encompassing a wide range of tactical ideas.

Sunny days, rainy days, sandstorms, snowy days, diamond-studded stars, etc.

With the development of various weather-based strategies, some Pokémon whose inherent nature makes them weather-controllers can change the weather.

Of course, it is also possible to actively change the weather using skills, such as the ability to clear the sky, the ability to summon rain, and the ability to shred hail, etc.

Hey you, isn't Groudon, the one that can't fly, one of the legendary Pokémon that can change the weather?

While there are many ways to change the weather, the Longnose Leaf Tribe had already tried most of the methods that Charmander had come up with.

In order to change the weather,

Several months ago, the leader of the Wood Tengu held a grand sacrificial ceremony.

Under the leadership of the leader of the Unloading Ridge Sect, thousands of long-nosed leaves formed a "Clearing Weather" formation, but the result was that the clear weather only lasted for 10 seconds.

That time, even the Tengu leader exhausted most of his strength.

So much so that later on, the long-nosed leaves would try their best to gather together every month to create a sunny day, which was also known in the tribe as the Sunny Day Ritual.

Charmander, Pikachu, and Sableye broke in just as the Tengu leader and the Long-nosed Leaves had finished a ceremony.

Needless to say, all of them failed.

Now even the little dragon fell into deep thought:

Um, this is really weird.

The above are all basic theories about changing the weather, and in theory, such a large-scale weather-clearing ceremony should be very effective.

If this continues, forget about changing the weather; won't the tribe be shrouded in fog every year from now on?

The alluring eyes remained silent for a few seconds, then whispered:

……

…………

"It seems that the downward shift of the North Ridge boundary is having a subtle impact on the weather around the world, and this is the best proof of that."

The boundary line has moved?!

Oh right, wasn't this the serious incident that Alakazam and the others were investigating before?

It's no exaggeration to call it a potential global disaster, as it's so bad that it causes local weather to change year after year, which shows how many more natural disasters are waiting to happen.

Thinking of this, the little dragon suddenly felt a sharp pain in its head.

That's why Charmander felt a slight headache because he had a strong connection with Gardevoir again.

Again,

It's Gardevoir's resonance.

My head hurts so much! Gardevoir, are you okay?

Charmander could deeply feel Gardevoir's weakness, but compared to the weakness it felt when it first entered the Longnose Leaf Village, it now felt more of Gardevoir's pain.

I'm sorry, the environment here makes me feel very uncomfortable...

What, do you mean by this fog?

The shifts in the world lines are becoming increasingly severe. I can vaguely sense an unseen miasma encroaching upon this region.

Pikachu was the first to notice Charmander's pained expression, and Sableye was also the first to see Charmander looking like that.

The leader of the Wooden Tengu: "Hey, tomb raider, what's wrong with you?"

The other Pokémon couldn't hear Gardevoir's voice, so Charmander could only share Gardevoir's pain while listening to Gardevoir's resonance.

Gardevoir, in that case, let's go out right away!

I'm fine, it's just that...

You must not forget your mission; what you are about to do is extremely important.

Forehead!

Listen carefully: if enough sunlight could return to the Long-nosed Leaf Tribe even once, it would greatly alleviate the miasma situation here.

Gardevoir's resonance aura is getting weaker and weaker.

But Gardevoir, how can I change the weather?

Previously, the legendary expedition team...

In the next instant, Gardevoir's resonance, due to its extreme weakness, abruptly ceased, causing Charmander great concern:

Gardevoir,

Gardevoir, are you alright?!

Seeing Charmander in this state, the Wood Tengu was about to send the Long-nosed Leaves to let him rest in bed for a while.

However, Charmander quickly recovered from his pain and returned to normal.

Pikachu: "You're thinking about those things again, Charmander. If you have a really bad headache, then stop thinking about them!"

(At the same moment, Sableye also heard Pikachu's words, but didn't know what Pikachu was referring to. Diamond Eyes then flashed quickly.)

Charmander: "I'm alright!"

By the way, Gardevoir's hint mentioned the Legendary Expedition Team, which means the solution should be related to the Legendary Expedition Team. The most likely explanation is that it was left behind by Alakazam and his crew!

Yes, it's the one in the backpack!!

"Charmander, do you mean the backpack? Is it your message in a bottle?" Pikachu suddenly asked excitedly.

No, it's not time for message in a bottle to indicate the main storyline yet.

Side quests like this definitely rely on the items that Alakazam and his crew gave us before.

"It's that one jade from the clear sky!"

(Ding! Charmander has found the Sunny Day Jewel, a gift from the legendary expedition team, in his adventure backpack.)

Team leader Nose Leaf: "It's no use. We've already collected hundreds of Sunny Jade for our leader. It's simply not enough."

【!】Who knew that the moment the little fire dragon revealed the Jade of Clear Sky, the entire jade emitted wave after wave of incredibly strong energy!

In the final instant, the leader of the wooden tengu was instantly astonished:

"Wait a minute, what is that light?!"

Good evening, dear readers! Thank you so much! I'd also like to ask for your votes, tips, favorites, and investments. That's all for this chapter!
