Chapter 117 Sleeping Beauty is actually...
After watching "Frog Prince" being kicked away by Ze Shu, it traced a graceful arc in the air before crashing into the distant pond with a splash, creating a loud splashing sound.
A short while later, the dazed frog slowly floated to the surface, its legs still trembling.
Xiao Lan blinked, covered her mouth, and giggled, "Hehe!"
"I'm Little Red Riding Hood, not some princess who kisses the frog prince. ::"
"Besides, Ze Shu, think about it, you're not the prince who kissed 'Sleeping Beauty,' and I'm not the princess who kissed 'Frog Prince,' aren't we alike!"
Ze Shu laughed: "Yes...yes, besides, can you even bring yourself to eat this frog prince? I'll just take care of it for you, one kick and it'll be over."
Xiao Lan laughed too: "If Ze Shu turned into a frog prince, it wouldn't be so bad..."
Ze Shu trembled and said, "Don't curse me."
Xiao Lan retorted angrily, "That's just a hypothetical!"
The Frog Prince was just a minor incident.
Carrying the Tetanus Sword, Ze Shu continued on his way to the Tower of Babel where the Sleeping Beauty resided.
The further we walked, the more water bodies appeared on both sides. What started as a few scattered ponds had now transformed into large lakes on both sides.
Only the path beneath our feet remains untouched.
Lotus blossoms bloom from both sides.
With its snow-white paws, the six-tailed bird held a pure white lotus seed and swallowed it whole without any hesitation, immediately grimacing from the bitter taste.
After a long while, with saliva dripping from the corners of its mouth from the bitterness, Vulpix looked back at its gloating trainer with a pitiful expression.
"Ominous!!"
Ze Shu laughed without any restraint:
"I meant this stuff is edible, but I didn't say what it tastes like..."
Liuwei, feeling wronged, even had tears welling up in her eyes: "Ouming..."
I don't want to deal with this trainer who teases me every day anymore!
It defiantly lashed at Ze Shu's trouser legs with its bushy tail, then puffed out its cheeks and jumped into Xiao Lan's arms next door, glaring at Ze Shu with a huff: "Ouming!"
They won't even let their trainer hold them!
Ze Shu: "Hmph, you just walked right into Xiao Lan's arms and got yourself rubbed and rubbed! Cute little Vulpix, you were born to be petted by your trainer!"
He ruffled the six-tailed mane's fluffy head without any hesitation, chuckled, and continued:
"Lotus seeds are bitter as a raw material, but they can be made into many delicious dishes. Just think: lotus seed porridge, fried lotus seeds, rock sugar lotus seeds, white fungus and lotus seed soup..."
+
Ze Shu's list of delicious foods immediately made Xiao Liuwei rack his brains.
Although it hasn't eaten it yet, it can already imagine that it's a delicious food!
The six-tailed fox's eyes shone brightly: "Ouming?"
Ze Shu was certain: "It's absolutely true."
Upon receiving Ze Shu's reply, Liu Wei's eyes lit up, and Wu Shi jumped up from Xiao Lan's arms.
With a splash, its snow-white body plunged into the water, just like the frog prince before it. Then, its pure white body thrashed about in the water, moving back and forth among the various lotus pods, enthusiastically picking off and collecting the lotus seeds!
Every now and then, the Six-Tails would raise its head from the water's surface: "Ominous...!"
It collects lotus seeds, and then Zeshu has to make those delicious things for it...!
Ze Shu: "...—"
He helplessly covered his face.
Perhaps only "food" can excite the Six-Tails so much.
Six-Tails had no doubt about his cooking skills, even after the "Energy Cube" incident... he still thought about his "Trainer" making delicious food for him.
Moreover... this is in the "dream" of a fairy tale.
If, upon waking, Liuwei discovers that all the lotus seeds it painstakingly collected are gone, and imagining the pitiful expression on its face...
That would be interesting!
Zeshu looked at the six-tailed fox on the water's surface. He didn't offer any advice, but simply smiled as he watched it diligently collecting lotus seeds.
Well, let the young Six-Tails experience the taste of "all previous efforts wasted".
However, we can't "mistreat" the six tails when the time comes.
Ze Shu suddenly asked, "Xiao Lan, do you know any good restaurants in Golden City?"
Xiao Lan thought for a moment, about to speak.
A series of duck calls came from the side.
Turning my head, I saw elegant, white swans leading a flock of ducklings slowly emerging from the lotus blossoms. As they swam further and further out...
Xiao Lan blinked, her expression strange.
Ze Shu also twitched the corners of his mouth.
Because the "duck" swimming at the very end of the ducklings is a...
A green onion duck holding a big green onion!
With brown fur that was completely different from the "group", it focused intently on holding up a scallion root in front of it, trying to imitate the swimming posture of the ducklings in front of it and trying to keep up with them.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard it tries, the green onion duck can't swim as well as the baby duck.
It choked on the water with a splash.
"Garuru..."
The farfalle duck panicked like a drowning person, flapping its wings wildly to barely maintain its swimming posture.
But this also stopped the flock of ducklings from moving.
"Pah! Look at you, you duck, you're completely different from us, I can't stand you!"
One of the baby ducks swam quickly over and pecked the green onion duck on the neck.
"You're clearly not one of us! We're meant to grow into swans, while you... you're just an ugly fart duck! Stop trying to swim like us! Ptooey! You taste like farts!"
The swans were dancing when their mother quickly said, "Please don't bully the farfalle duck... it didn't hurt anyone!"
The baby duck pecking at the onion duck proudly raised its head: "But Mom, it's really too ugly! It's nothing like our swans..."
'
But the little duckling hadn't finished speaking.
The green onion duck is looking down.
Suddenly.
A snow-white little fox paddled across the water like a dog, splashing and splashing as it swam over.
Its bright, sparkling eyes looked left and right: "Ouming...Ouming!"
Scallion flavor? Where can I find food that tastes like scallions?
It's a perfect match for the lotus seeds it collects!
It heard it!
The appearance of the Six-Tails directly disrupted the situation.
On the shore, Ze Shu covered his forehead as if embarrassed:
Little Blue, standing nearby, covered her mouth and laughed, "Haha...Six-Tails is so cute."
But Six-Tail's mischief couldn't alleviate the ridicule and mockery of Farfetch'd, the "real ugly duckling," among the ducklings.
The Swan Dancer sighed:
"Hey, big green onion duck, I hope you go far away..."
The green onion duck lowered its head completely, helplessly clutching the only green onion it could rely on:
"Gah..."
The dancing swan led the flock of ducklings away.
The green onion duck did not chase after it.
It bowed its head, holding a large green onion, a drop of water sliding down its cheek and falling into the water, creating inconspicuous ripples.
Fortunately, the Vulpix noticed.
It swam forward again with a "plop," and seeing the poor fart duck's plight, tears welled up in its mouth as it felt a deep empathy for it: "Ooh-ming!"
Its eyes gleamed as it stared at the onion root in the farfalle's hand.
The farfalle duck looked up incredulously: "Quack..."
But it hadn't reacted yet.
Liuwei grabbed it and pulled it ashore.
As if presenting a treasure, he showed the rare and precious things he had caught to Ze Shu:
"Ooming, Ooming!"
Zeshu, Zeshu, I've found a new ingredient!
Cooking! Making delicious food! With the lotus seeds I've gathered!
Duck and scallion soup with lotus seeds!
The six-tailed creature's eyes shone brightly as it called out to Zeki.
The farfalle duck panicked: "Quack??"
So you weren't here to comfort me after all!
They're here to eat me!
Ze Shu: "..—"
Of course you can't eat duck with scallions.
Zeshu isn't that cruel.
Six-tailed Fox wanted to shrink back into Little Blue's arms in disappointment, but it was covered in water, which frightened Little Blue so much that it stopped holding on.
Along the way, Ze Shu also gained a follower—a dejected follower who brought his own food.
"By the way, Farfetch'd, why can't you speak human language? Like those baby ducks?"
The big green onion duck asked, confused, "Quack?"
Ze Shu shook his head, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "It's nothing..."
However, looking at this bewildered duck, which seems to have reached the most desperate point in its life and is contemplating suicide to become food at any moment, it is a truly hopeless creature.
Zeshu thought for a moment, then squatted down beside it:
He said, "Big Farfetch'd, that duckling is right, you're definitely not a duckling destined to grow into a swan."
The farfalle duck seemed even more disheartened, lowering its head further and quacking, "Quack!"
Ze Shu continued softly, "So you don't need to live on the water with the ducklings. You're a farfalle, a farfalle that lives on land. You don't need to imitate the ducklings' lives; you have your own farfalle life."
Although this life may be a life of being food.
The green onion duck remained unmoved: "Quack...!"
Ze Shu was at a loss; as expected, his verbal skills were no match for Ze Shu's.
All he could say was, "Do you know you have a group of relatives in a faraway place? There, farfalle ducks wave their farfalle, diligently honing their skills, eventually growing into mighty and majestic farfalle soldiers wielding swords and shields!"
Zeshu described how the Galarian Farfetch'd was trained and transformed into a mighty and majestic Farfetch'd. Of course, he embellished the story.
As for why it describes Galarian Farfetch'd instead of regular Farfetch'd, remembering the "malicious" description in the Pokédex, Sawaki is afraid that Farfetch'd will become even more arrogant if it hears about the life of regular Farfetch'd!
In conclusion.
"This is the Farfetch'd lifestyle."
"Instead of swimming in the water with the ducklings."
As if sensing something, the giant green onion duck raised its head and quacked: "Quack...?"
Ze Shu hesitated for a moment, then gave Farfetch'd an affirmative answer: "Yes, if you keep training like this, you might become the Farfetch'd you've always dreamed of!"
The giant green onion duck hesitated for a moment, then suddenly nodded firmly: "Quack!"
It wants to become a green onion soldier!
Let's start training!
Ze Shu: "...I support you."
Xiao Lan had already arrived beside Ze Shu, her face full of strange expressions. Her gaze seemed to say, "You just lied to Farfetch'd like that?"
Ze Shu turned his gaze back: "I won't lie, but it's not a good idea to keep this big green onion duck so innocent."
Hopefully, this ordinary Farfetch'd will stay strong once it realizes it can't evolve into a Farfetch'd. But at least for now, it has a goal to strive for.
but.
The Galar Farfetch'd seems to have become a Fighting-type because it wields the thick, characteristic leek of Galar, giving it the potential to evolve into Sirfetch'd. Maybe this ordinary Farfetch'd can too? Zeki doesn't know, it's just a guess, but perhaps he can give it a try.
along the way.
The green onion duck, having regained some fighting spirit, waved the green onion in its hand.
Seemingly trying to find the training method for the Nagal Farfetch'd described by Zeki, Zeki also occasionally offered guidance from the side.
But it is described as "guidance".
Actually, Ze Shu was just talking nonsense during the summer festival; he didn't understand it either.
He can only rely on his own "experience" and make wild guesses based on the evolutionary conditions of Farfetch'd.
"That's right, take it like that. Yes, yes, this is the 'split onion' style, this is the 'poke onion' style, yes, just like that, stand it up, the 'standing onion' style! Turn the tide! It can dodge attacks and still smash others."
"Look at this scallion, it's so lively and energetic! Isn't it much more fun than a baby duck swimming on the water?"
"In battle, make sure to find your opponent's weak points!"
"It's said that only Farfetch'd that can pinpoint the enemy's weakness can evolve into a Sirfetch'd!"
As Ze Shu walked, he explained each word to the Green Onion Duck.
Little Blue held Ze Shu's Vulpix and Glaceon, and smiled as she groomed them.
But it was at this moment...
A soft croaking sound cautiously emerged from the side, whispering to Little Blue:
"My beauty: My beauty, I am the Frog Prince! If you kiss me, you will receive a lifetime of wealth and honor, and the favor of me, the Frog Prince!"
A wicked frog emerged from the water with its lewd, dead-fish eyes and offered this advice:
"My beauty, let's talk, let's talk. Don't call that man who kicked me away."
But even so it said that.
Little Blue turned around and called out, "Ze Shu!"
Ze Shu had already noticed the situation here:
"Hey, you big green onion duck, charge! Split-onion style! Smash it right in the face!"
Green onion duck: "Quack!"
After this short period of training, the leek has become quite skilled and can easily defeat the "Frog Prince," whose level is almost zero.
The giant green onion duck charged towards the wicked frog, and using its momentum, it slammed the green onion to the ground and used it to leap through the air, delivering a powerful chop!
boom!
It struck the wicked frog squarely on the head!
The bad frog felt dizzy and lightheaded.
However, before its HP reached zero, it still had some breath left and said:
"I will be back!"
"I have a feeling that you are the key to me becoming a 'prince' again. We will definitely meet again in the future, and whether you like it or not, you have to help me become a prince..."
After saying this, it let time sink into the lake with a gurgling sound.
Ze Shu sneered, "Heh..."
He ignored the rascal's words and instead asked the Farfetch'd beside him, "How was it?"
The leek duck's eyes blinked, and it gripped the leek in its hand tightly: "Quack!"
Great!
"Looking at the mountain makes one run until the horse dies."
Although the Tower of Babel where Sleeping Beauty slept seemed not far away, Ze Shu and Xiao Lan walked slowly for a long time and only got a little closer.
The sun and moon move, the stars and moon change.
Time seemed to pass much faster in this fairy tale world. Ze Shu felt that only about an hour had passed, but it felt like many days had passed in this fairy tale world.
However, ever since the bad frog was killed.
Farfetch'd's training in "farfetch'd" techniques intensified; Zeki could hear the "swish" of it waving its farfetched leaves all the time, and...
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that as the leek duck trained, the leek in its hand grew thicker and stronger.
Can a scallion really grow while it's in your hand?
this day.
Ze Shu and Xiao Lan walked towards the tower as usual.
Suddenly, a wolf howl was heard, followed by a gunshot.
"Run! Mom, run! Let's run!"
"It's the hunter and the wolf! They're going to eat all of us ducklings!"
"Look! It's that ugly farfalle duck! You'd better run! The hunters are coming; they're going to catch us and make soup!"
A group of familiar baby ducks emerged from the lotus leaves with a "plop," and upon seeing the giant onion duck on the bank, they quacked.
It then splashed and left trails in the water, quickly swimming away into the distance.
And that followed closely behind.
It was a cold-blooded hunter dressed entirely in black, carrying a flintlock pistol, and a large, snarling wolfhound on a leash at his feet. They were walking on the same path as Ze Shu, and inevitably bumped into each other.
Ze Shu blinked: "Oh?"
Suddenly, the farfalle duck bravely stepped forward and cried out, "Quack!"
The scallion it holds resembles a great warrior entrusted with a critical mission.
Seeing this, Ze Shu smiled and said, "Go ahead, if you want to."
The farfalle duck charged at the wolfhound: "Quack!!!"
After this period of time, its "onion-like" style has become much stronger.
It raised its chopping stick and swung it straight at the big wolfhound's head with lightning speed!
boom!
But dogs are creatures with iron heads and tofu waists, and their skulls are incredibly hard.
The scallion struck the large wolfhound's head with only a few crisp sounds. The wolfhound shook its head, seemingly unfazed, and then suddenly opened its massive jaws.
"roar!!"
"Step back, use the 'poke onion' technique, and strike its waist."
The giant green duck narrowly avoided the wolfhound's bite and, with a powerful counterattack, thrust its paw into the wolfhound's soft waist. In an instant, the wolfhound cried out in pain from the abdominal cramps, its head shrinking back, which further exposed its other "weak point."
A gunshot rang out, aimed directly into the sky.
Ze Shu stopped the black-clad hunter and coldly ordered, "Continue!"
The farfalle duck's eyes were unwavering: "Quack!"
It suddenly shifted to the side, switching the scallion in its hand to the more damaging "slicing scallion" style, and slashed fiercely at the exposed belly of the big wolfhound!
Boom!
A dull, piercing sound emanated from it.
The large wolfhound howled in pain and vomited a mouthful of blood, as if it were vomiting.
But this seemed to have aroused its wolfish nature. Its eyes turned fierce, and after spitting out blood, it held flames in its mouth and tried to bite the Farfetch'd with its flaming teeth.
But it was at this moment that...
The target of the Great Wolfhound's Flame Fang attack—Farfinch—suddenly emitted a white light, a white light indicating evolution.
Farfetch'd's previous battle with the Bad Frog, and its two attacks on the Great Wolfhound just now, have already fulfilled the "evolutionary condition" that Zeki mentioned—hitting vital points three times.
The green onion duck will remember it well!
So, it's time to evolve!
Before long, facing the fiercely approaching Flame Fang, the light of evolution suddenly dissipated, and the Onion Warrior, dragging a "spear," transformed from it and, with lightning speed, thrust it straight at the soft belly exposed by the Great Wolfhound as it pounced!
puff!
Another dull sound rang out!
This time, the big wolfhound was stabbed so hard it flew away!
It flew backward, tumbling onto the muddy path, kicking up a cloud of dust. At the same time, the large wolfhound's eyes became blurry, and its body slowly dissipated.
This strike!
No more than three hits in total!
Farfetch'd... no, Farfetch'd Soldier, just take down the big wolfhound!
Ze Shu clapped: "Awesome! Farfetch'd!"
Who would have thought that this ordinary Farfetch'd could evolve into a Farfetch'd? Is this the kind of power that comes from the superstition in fairy tales?
The black-clad hunter who should have been holding a gun had already fainted and was unconscious at his feet, being trampled on.
The green onion duck let out a bewildered quack, staring at the long, sharp green onion in its hand, unsure of what to do.
At this time.
The group of baby ducks also appeared from behind:
"Wow..."
"Are you really that ugly Farfetch'd? You've become so majestic and powerful!"
"We don't dislike you anymore. We'll teach you to swim. Please come back and protect us!"
But this time, the farfalle duck shook its head: "Quack!"
It raised the large green onion in its hand, which resembled a long sword or spear, and stood firmly behind Ze Shu.
The baby duck swam away sadly.
Farfetch'd was determined to stand behind Ze Shu.
Or perhaps this behavior is as foolish as its previous clumsy attempts to learn to swim by following the baby ducks.
But the big green duck thinks it has definitely chosen the right person this time!
The green onion duck was absolutely determined.
Ze Shu chuckled and ruffled its hair. "Alright then, let's continue."
The higher we climbed, the higher the tower where Sleeping Beauty lived.
Unbeknownst to them, the quinoa bushes along the road became more and more numerous. This was a thorny herbaceous plant, growing in a wrinkled clump, right on the only path.
Ze Shu could see a skull hanging among the clusters of quinoa.
Having come this far, they must have wanted to kiss the sleeping "Prince" of "Sleeping Beauty." But they were careless and got entangled in the quinoa, starving to death right here.
But Zeshu, relying on the leek-slashing ability of Farfetch'd, which evolved into its Farfetch'd form, made its way through without any obstacles.
The sound of chopping and hacking continued to echo.
Along the way, we didn't encounter any other "fairy tales".
Soon, but it also felt like a long time had passed, a tall tower suddenly appeared in front of Ze Shu. The exquisitely embroidered gate was closed, as if it were written, "The gate cannot be opened from here."
But the outer layer of this tower has a spiral staircase, which seems to be the only way for them to reach the top.
Ze Shu shook his head and took the lead up the stairs: "Let's go, Xiao Lan. The sooner we take down Sleeping Beauty, the sooner we can leave this dream."
Xiao Lan said worriedly, "What if we absolutely have to kiss? And the frog prince even predicted that we'd meet again, but we haven't yet..."
'
This is a fairy tale world, where every "premonition" may come true.
This made Xiao Lan worry.
Ze Shu laughed and said, "What's there to be afraid of?"
"If it really doesn't work, I'll burn this world down. Then there won't be any more omens. Anyway, it's not the first time I've burned Darkrai's dream. It's probably used to it by now."
Slowly climb the tall building.
During this time, several vultures tried to attack and cause trouble.
But then Glaceon suddenly unleashed a freezing ray, which froze one of the Vultures, making its already bald feathers even balder. This terrified the other Vultures, who flapped their wings and dared not approach Zeki and his group.
Finally, Ze Shu reached the "top of the tower".
There is a wooden door here, slightly ajar, as if it could be pushed open with a single push.
Little Blue blinked: "Is that Sleeping Beauty inside?"
She glanced at Ze Shu's slightly pursed lips, seemingly lost in thought.
Ze Shu thought for a moment and nodded: "Probably."
After saying that, he pushed open the wooden door.
It was a cozy room.
The pink, exquisite dressing table, the large floor-length mirror, and the soft carpet, though worn and faded, still have everything you could need.
In the center of the room was a large bed covered with exquisite gauze curtains.
There was a "figure" inside the large bed.
She was fast asleep.
I met "her".
Ze Shu blinked, asking incredulously, "Huh?"
Xiao Lan blinked and then burst out laughing: "Ze Shu, are you really going to 'kiss' this Sleeping Beauty?"
All that could be seen was this exquisitely decorated bed, as beautiful as a princess's bed.
Sleeping and watching one. :.:
Please excuse me, Wang!
It's female!
Its brown and fat body lay sprawled on the bed, its round-nosed pig face covered in snot bubbles, and its fur, as white as an old woman's, was incredibly messy. It was clear that it had been sleeping for a long time and hadn't even turned over.
He snored so loudly it shook the heavens.
For Ze Shu to kiss this "Sleeping Beauty" would be worse than killing him!
Having to spend the rest of your life with this "Sleeping Beauty" is an extreme torment comparable to Groudon's inability to fly for a lifetime!
Moreover, the "Tetanus Sword" in his hand definitely couldn't penetrate the thick-skinned Slacker!
Ze Shu twitched the corner of his mouth: "How do we do this?"
Xiao Lan covered her mouth: "What should we do? Ze Shu, just kiss him!"
Seeing Sleeping Beauty like this, her heart felt as relaxed as a mountain spring!
That's why she was in the mood to make jokes at that moment.
Ze Shu sighed and asked in return, "Then, Xiao Lan, would you be willing to kiss that 'Frog Prince'?"
Xiao Lan shook her head decisively: "Definitely not!"
Then she saw the smile gradually spreading across Ze Shu's lips, blinked, and immediately understood Ze Shu's thoughts:
Her eyes curved into crescent moons, and she asked with a confident tone, "Could it be...?"
22
Ze Shu laughed: "Yes, just like you thought, Xiao Lan!"
"Sleeping Beauty needs a prince to kiss her! Isn't that frog prince a 'prince' too?"
"And doesn't the Frog Prince also need a beautiful woman to kiss him? Isn't 'Sleeping Beauty' a beautiful woman?"
"A match made in heaven!"
This dog that asked for leave is female!
When they met, it's unclear who benefited more.
Ze Shu chuckled softly, then called out to Little Lugia, who was bullying Vulture Na on the high tower outside. Once it whizzed in, he said:
"You've seen it, haven't you? That sleazy, dark blue frog. Catch it and tell it: We've found it a 'beauty' willing to kiss it!"
Little Lugia nodded obediently: "Mmm..."
With a swift turn, it flew directly out of the tower like a gust of wind.
While Little Lugia was catching the "Frog Prince".
Ze Shu also casually explored the "Sleeping Beauty's" room for a while.
Although the vines outside were spreading abnormally, the "Sleeping Beauty" room had no primitive feel whatsoever.
But Ze Shu didn't find anything.
Xiao Lan stood in front of the dusty dressing mirror, occasionally lifting her hair and looking left and right.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Ze Shu suddenly heard bursts of happy sounds coming from outside:
"Hoo hoo hoo... I knew it! My beauty would come to kiss me! We'll definitely meet again! I, the 'Frog Prince,' am here! Where is my beauty? Where is my beauty?!"
The wicked frog was held by Lugia's wings in a wolf-fox-like posture.
It, however, remained unconvinced and still wore a lewd smile.
Upon entering the room.
It looked left and right, but its gaze remained fixed on "Little Red Riding Hood":
"Beauty, beauty, where are you?"
Ze Shu snorted and smiled, pointing at the burly figure on the bed:
"Don't look around, or I'll pull out your poison sac. That's your 'beauty,' but it's asleep right now."
It also needs your kiss to "awaken" it.
"Come on, don't hesitate."
At this moment, the wicked frog finally saw the "Sleeping Beauty".
Its eyes widened in the fog.
Its eyes trembled.
Its frog legs were also trembling.
It was as if You Longsheng had encountered the Bodhisattva of Great Joy.
It's like spending a huge sum of money in a short-stay hotel to book a tank – that's like being the "third-place winner" in the game.
The naughty frog croaked, "No, no, no, don't do this!"
Ze Shu smiled: "You actually picked one?"
"You have no choice in the matter."
