Elf-like Life

Chapter 68, Growth

A level 7.5 mountain wind howled past, causing great damage.

Not only was there a sandstorm,

Even the shards of wine jars that had just broken on the yellow earth were swept away.

Under such circumstances, King Blue absorbed 99% of the damage for the three little ones behind him, using his large body and overwhelming weight to stand firm in the mountain wind.

whoosh whoosh whoosh,

whoosh whoosh,

woohoo,

The mountain wind began to weaken, and everyone knew that as long as they weathered this gust, everything would be fine.

Moreover, Blue King was in great condition and could even withstand the second and third rounds of mountain winds, which can be said to have helped the three little ones overcome the difficulties without any injury.

"For safety's sake, don't leave my back until the mountain wind has completely stopped!"

Blue King was so concerned about the three little ones that everyone felt embarrassed.

"Hey, thanks a lot. The title of the leader of the ninja dogs is truly well-deserved!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Pikachu added, "Thank you so much, Blue! If you hadn't shielded us from the wind, we probably would have really been doomed!"

call,

Just as he finished speaking, the mountain wind stopped completely.

Obviously, both the lobster minions and Charmander addressed Blue as the leader of the ninja dogs, expressing their gratitude. But what's with Pikachu calling him "Little Blue"?

The combination of such a large dog and the nickname "Little Blue" is inexplicably hilarious.

It turns out that the leader of the ninja dogs was already quite familiar to Pikachu.

After all, they are the ninja dogs under Kakachu's command. Back when Kakachu signed the summoning contract with the ninja dogs, Pikachu was still playing in the mud in kindergarten.

Not to mention that Blue King took care of Pikachu when it was a baby, Blue King also saw Pikachu poop and pee from a young age.

The King of Brue is like family.

Pikachu, or even the young master,

In short, Pikachu has always affectionately called him "Little Blue" since he was a child, and Blue has never been shy about it.

"It's alright now."

The hulking Blue King turns around:

"You guys really have guts! Even Kakachu would be afraid of the mountain winds here!"

"Also, you said you were on a business trip, right? Is that the leader of the Fat Koding Guild over there?"

Blue King didn't say it explicitly, but he had actually been observing Pikachu for a long time since he first arrived, and found that Pikachu had really improved a lot.

Pikachu, who previously lacked the courage to join a guild, is now a member of the Jigglypuff Guild and even represents the entire guild on business trips.

Guilds are one aspect,

More importantly, Pikachu also formed an expedition team with two other kind-hearted Pokémon and personally participated in the team's adventures.

Pikachu nodded and introduced:

"Yes, Lobster Soldier is the guild's diplomat and also the captain of this business trip team."

"That little dragon over there is my best friend, and we even formed the Starry Night Exploration Team!"

"They are all very, very kind little elves, so don't worry about me, Little Blue."

The lobster soldier once again politely thanked the ninja dog Blue King, and the little dragon also respectfully thanked him in return.

Rescuing the three little ones was nothing to the ninja dog Blue King; it was just a matter of Kakachu triggering a summoning jutsu with a kunai.

But most importantly, I witnessed Pikachu's series of transformations firsthand:

I made new friends.

A small expedition team was formed.

He also became a member of the Fat Kodama Guild.

"You've finally grown up, Pikachu."

Hey hey hey hey hey!

Blue King confirmed Charmander and Shrimp Soldier one last time. The two little ones looked like particularly kind Pokémon, and would also be good mentors for Pikachu in the future.

So he said with relief:

"Hey, you guys really ruined my precious afternoon nap today!"

Lobster Soldier + Charmander: "We're so sorry!"

Being summoned by spirit magic is actually quite physically demanding, especially for a behemoth like Blue King, who needs to go back and rest for half an hour after each appearance.

The mountain winds have passed; it's time to head back.

"Ah—" (Yawns)

"I'm tired, I'm going back to sleep. You guys are on your own for the rest of the mountain trail!"

In the blink of an eye, a small ring of emerald green leaves suddenly rose around the massive Blue Emperor, accompanied by a mysterious ninja-style concealment aura, and it began to retreat:

"I'll praise you to Kakachu when we get back. I look forward to seeing even greater progress next time!"

Finally, with a "whoosh," the emerald green leaves enveloped the massive Blue Emperor tightly and vanished in an instant!

"Gone? Gone?"

While Charmander marvels at the summoning ninjutsu, Pikachu has been used to it since childhood.

Lobster Soldier exclaimed, "I'd only ever heard of Kakachu and his ninja dogs before, but I never imagined they were this powerful."

"I will remember your help today and will definitely repay you in the future!"

----split line----

After bidding farewell to the ninja dog Blue King, the three little ones continued their ascent up the canyon without any obstacles and successfully reached the summit before the third wave of mountain winds, just as planned.

At the very top of Sunset Canyon lies this wondrous scenic view:

There is no wind at the top of the cliff, and from the high vantage point, you can overlook the entire Grand Canyon.

At the foot of the mountain are layers of cliffs, and the towering stone walls highlight the grandeur of the canyon. Just as the setting sun is about to descend, the evening glow begins to shine obliquely onto the cliffs.

The first cliff began to turn red.

The second one followed immediately.

A third one, a fourth one, or even the entire canyon!

At the very top of the cliff in Sunset Canyon on this side, Charmander, Pikachu, and Sven the Crawdill are standing side by side gazing into the distance:

"Hehe, that's right! When the sunset paints the valley red, the entire Sunset Canyon turns a brilliant crimson. That's truly a top-tier view!"

The lobster soldiers raised their crab claws and shouted.

"Wow, the sunset really did paint the Grand Canyon red! They say you can't appreciate a rainbow without going through hardship, so it's truly rare to see a view even more beautiful than a rainbow!"

The little dragon offered a concluding remark.

As for Pikachu, it was already captivated by the beautiful sunset over the Grand Canyon, and its eyes were practically sparkling with admiration.

"Wow, wow, this is so beautiful!"

"Look over there! Those cliffs are all red too, and what you're seeing in the distance—those are fiery clouds!"

The red of the sky

The red of the sunset clouds

The fiery red of the cliffs blends together, creating a breathtaking scene that is said to be found only in the Sunset Grand Canyon.

Charmander + Pikachu + Lobster Soldier:

"So beautiful!!!"

In the last moment,

While they admired the sights, the three boys couldn't forget that they were on a business trip. They had reached their destination, and this wasn't the time to play around.

The reception mission is imminent.

Just as the beautiful sunset was about to end, the VIP expedition team was about to reach the summit of Sunset Canyon.

"Hey, are you all ready to welcome our VIPs soon?"

Pikachu raises its little paws high.

The little dragon also raised its little claws high, but then suddenly lowered them.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

"Um, that lobster soldier captain, I suddenly forgot, what's the name of the VIP expedition team we're welcoming this time?"

Ahem, get ready to welcome our VIP guests! Oh ho ho ho!
