Chapter 628 Bagogo!
To be honest, Tailebagos’ eyes are quite peculiar, and can even be said to be “special eyes” that only exist in anime.
The sclera is divided into a white outer layer, a blue inner layer and a cyan lower layer, dotted with diamond-shaped pupils that sparkle like stars.
There was a sense of timidity, hesitation and curiosity in his eyes.
It can be seen that just sticking his head out took up most of Tailebagos's courage.
What a timid child.
This thought emerged in Luo Mu's mind, but his movements suddenly became slow.
He gently placed the turtle's food bowl, stepped back a certain distance, and slowly squatted down. After going through this series of gentle actions that would not cause a breakdown in Tailebagos's sensitive nerves, and after giving the other party enough sense of security, Luo Mu smiled at it.
"Hello, Tailebagos."
"."
Tailebagos subconsciously shrank his neck, but stopped halfway.
As if it was in hesitation, it did not move, but tilted its head to look at Luo Mu.
It was as if he was confirming for the second time whether Luo Mu in front of him was really trustworthy.
Knowing that this was the most critical moment, Luo Mu held his breath and tried to slow down the pace, while also feeling a little grateful.
Fortunately, it is now nap time. The Incendiary Bugs on the sofa in the distance are sleeping soundly. The other Pokémon are either outside enjoying the warm sunshine that they have not seen for a long time, or have returned to the room for a nap.
The environment is very quiet now. Zhi Huixing, who was preparing a fruit plate behind him, seemed to realize something and chose to stop.
It can be said that it is the right time, the right place and the right people.
Luo Mu suddenly had a bold idea.
This is the first time that Taile Bagos has taken the initiative to show up. Rather than leaving the opportunity for an uncertain future, it is better to take this opportunity.
After a little thought, Luo Mu made a somewhat abstract movement.
——Slowly lie down, support the ground with your knees and elbows, and keep your back straight. A beautiful half-plank position is now completed.
No, to be more precise it should be called "turtle crawling".
He also pulled a mat from the side and tied it tightly around his waist with the rope that came with it.
"Turtle shell" plus "turtle crawling" makes it look like the same species as Tailebagos!
I guess so?
Seeing Luo Mu like this, Zhi Huixing's body trembled slightly, not sure if it was because he was holding it in or was scared, he almost couldn't hold the fruit knife in his hand firmly.
Perhaps it was because his eyesight was not good, Tailebagos was not scared by this costume that was comparable to the uncanny valley effect.
Instead, it stretched its limbs further out of its shell and took two steps forward with some confusion.
Seeing this, Luo Mu's eyes lit up slightly. He crawled forward slowly and gently, moving in front of Tailebagos little by little, and tried to repeat a sentence.
"Hello, Tailebagos~"
This time, Tailebagos blinked his bright eyes and responded.
"Bago.?"
The sound was a little soft, and if Luo Mu hadn't been concentrating, he might have missed it.
But Tailebagos' response made Luo Mu feel like he was given an injection of chicken blood. In his excitement, he subconsciously made a move that might be a little aggressive.
——He tried to stretch out his hand in front of Tailebagos.
Fortunately, Tailebagos was neither frightened by this move and shrank back, nor did he bite it without saying a word.
It just sniffed the back of Luo Mu's hand with its little red nostrils, as if it was recording a scent.
Although his elbows were stuck on the ground the whole time, Luo Mu himself did not feel very tired. During his normal self-exercises, the real plank support usually took more than this time, so what was the big deal about lying on the ground with his knees supporting his body?
Fortunately, Huangtian paid off.
After sniffing carefully for a few minutes, Tailebagos took actions beyond Luo Mu's expectations, completely disrupting his plans.
It directly and proactively put its head on Luo Mu's outstretched palm and rubbed it affectionately!
".!"
With a silent cry, Luo Mu's pupils suddenly contracted as his breathing suddenly became faster. He had never expected that things would develop to this point.
In his original expectation, the best achievement would be to make Tailebagos familiar with his scent and not just hide in his shell in front of him.
But the other party actually rubbed his head against him directly and proactively!
A sense of achievement that his hard work was paying off came over Luo Mu, and he tried hard to suppress the urge to jump up and cheer.
——Because it will not only scare the Tailebagos, but also wake up the sleeping Ermiones.
He just lowered his voice and said to Taile Bagos affectionately: "No matter what you encountered before, it doesn't matter now."
"Welcome to this new future world, Tailebagos!"
dinner time.
Monarch, who had just returned from a special weight loss training with Tropical Dragon and Fenhodon, Bud Crown, who had just returned from a stroll outside with Cosmog in his arms, and Moltres, who had just returned from "herding cattle" (referring to Kentaro) with Windy Dog.
All the other Pokémon were looking at the nervous Tailebagos peeking out of Luo Mu's arms in surprise.
You're actually willing to show up! ?
All the Pokémon on the farm knew that the crystal pendant that Luo Mu usually carried with him turned into a Pokémon and shrank into its shell out of fear.
Because of the diagnosis given by AlmostDoll before, the Pokémons spontaneously chose to be careful not to make too much noise when passing by the autistic area of Tailebagos.
Even if Arcanine occasionally forgets himself and fails to brake when having fun, he will be immediately caught out by Moltres and taught a lesson.
It just doesn't have any effect. After all, Arcanine has always been a stubborn person who knows he's wrong but won't change.
Half a month has passed since I woke up.
Is Tailebagos finally willing to contact the outside world now?!
Cute Pokémon, such as Victini, are very excited and can't wait to make friends with Bigotry.
Animals like Roentgen Cat and Swampert controlled their impulses very well. They just watched from a distance and did not rush forward, which would have increased the tension of Tylerbags and worn away the courage it had finally mustered.
In front of the enthusiastic Pokémon surrounding it, Tailebagos was somewhat frightened and subconsciously wanted to hide in its shell.
But then he recalled the concept of "we are all one family" that Luo Mu had instilled in him during his interactions with him in the afternoon.
As a social Pokémon, Tailebagos is no stranger to the concept of "family" or "same race".
Taile Bagos was surprised to find out.
If we label these Pokémon that look different from ourselves as “family”.
Just as Luo Mu said, the turtle suddenly no longer felt how scary their enthusiasm was.
Blinking his eyes, Tailebagos tried to call out weakly to the enthusiastic Pokémon.
"Bagogo?"
"Bagogo!"
——In response to it, there was a series of neat and enthusiastic “responses”.
At least on Taile Bagos's side, the different calls were synchronously changed to the same "Bago".
For a moment, the room was filled with countless cries of "Bago Bago Bago".
Luo Mu didn't let everyone interact until late.
After all, he will take a direct flight to the Hoenn region tomorrow, and there are still many things to prepare before departure, so it is better to go to bed early. If he is not in a hurry, Luo Mu can actually take a few days like Xiaozhi and take a sea ship to the Hoenn region.
The relaxing vacation time on the ship, the Pokémon battles on the deck, and the open-air swimming pool under the sun are all great pastimes.
After dinner.
After looking at the clock, Luo Mu urged the Pokémon to go back to bed and sleep.
For example, the patrols of Houndoom and others should still be carried out according to the original arrangements.
Tapu Finfin returned with the Ball Sea Lion and the Frog King who lived in Thunder Lake.
The bustling living room suddenly became much emptier.
Monarch Snake and Mimicry Hill had already entered the bedroom in advance. While the Burning Bugs were warming the bed for him, Luo Mu received many warm greetings. Taile Bagos, who had not yet come to his senses, asked, "Do you want to sleep here, or do you want to sleep with me in the bedroom?"
"Bagogo!"
Tailebagos chose the latter without any hesitation.
Previously, when a turtle stayed in a quiet living room, it felt safe, peaceful, and less afraid.
But after re-establishing "social relationships", it felt that it could no longer bear the life of a solitary turtle.
"Okay, then you can use the same blanket with Mimicryuu and Monarch tonight."
He agreed.
Luo Mu picked up Tai Jing the little turtle and returned to the bedroom, only to find that if he continued like this, his double bed would be unable to accommodate anyone!
No, to be exact, the whole room is almost full.
Not to mention that from time to time there are Pokémon that come in for "rotation", and the numbers are by no means balanced, there is only more, never less.
The next day.
1 month 18 day.
Today is the day Luo Mu has booked to take a direct flight to the Hoenn region.
The flight took off in the afternoon, so he still had a morning to prepare.
——Speaking of preparation, there isn't actually a lot that needs to be prepared specifically. It's more about arranging the operation of the farm after I leave, as well as the necessities for the Pokémon's lives.
Now these aspects have become easier with the continuous joining of farm members.
Like the time a year ago when the farm was just starting out and Zhihuixing hadn’t joined the company yet.
Whenever Luo Mu leaves the farm for more than half a day, everyone can only eat bagged Pokémon food.
——After all, the food prepared in the refrigerator has been eaten in advance as a snack.
After Zhihuixing joined, the situation improved slightly.
As an all-round butler, Zhi Huixing can also act as a chef to share the pressure for Luo Mu when necessary.
After that, there was a pair of mice who helped Zhihuixing share some of the cleaning work, the array soldiers who were responsible for food supply, and the almost dolls.
Relying solely on Pokémon, the farm has a complete set of operating methods, which also frees Luo Mu from having to do everything himself.
So this morning, after delivering the goods, the leader of Dragonite flapped his wings and returned to the farm.
Luo Mu made a proposal at the edge of Thunder Lake while Dragonite and Haxorus were there.
"Before we leave, let's go sweep Grandma Liya's grave."
The air suddenly became quiet.
This matter should have been done a long time ago, but it was delayed because Leader Kuailong couldn't find the tombstone.
In fact, the small town next to the Daguo Lake had been abandoned many years ago. The residents moved to other places, and the nearby cemeteries were also moved to a larger cemetery.
Even if Dragonite leader still remembered the route well, he wouldn't find anything if he went there again.
Luo Mu also used his own connections to finally find the specific location.
"Booo ...
The leader of Dragonite spoke first. It looked at Luo Mu with its gentle and kind eyes and nodded slightly.
Naturally, Dragonite and Haxorus have to go there as well.
What was beyond Luo Mu's expectation was that Tapu Fin-Fin also expressed his intention to visit the graves, so the Falcon could be left to Swampert, Poliwag and the others to take care of. Anyway, the kid was familiar with everyone now and was everyone's happy pill.
Plus Taile Bagos who has become a bit clingy since opening up.
Everyone flew together to a cemetery located in the corner of Ziqin Town.
"Tombstone No. 23, Area A."
After entering the cemetery exuding a faintly sad atmosphere, Luo Mu whispered the specific location information that Ye Ci passed to him, and soon found a standard tombstone.
A photo of old Leah was engraved on the stone tombstone. The inscription did not indicate her specific date of birth, only the time of her death.
Because no one knows her birthday except Leah herself, so naturally it is impossible to carve her date of birth.
Although a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the tombstone, it seemed as if no one had come to sweep the grave for a long time.
But the fact that the cemetery was moved from the edge of a town that was about to be abandoned to this cemetery shows that Leah has a pretty good relationship with people.
But none of this matters now.
Luo Mu soaked the towel he was carrying and handed it to the leader of Dragonite.
It is better to let it do this step.
When the leader of Dragonite was wiping the tombstone with a nostalgic look on his face, Luo Mu, who was holding a bouquet of flowers, was suddenly spoken to by an old man.
"Hey, are you the descendant of the owner of this tombstone?"
The person who spoke was an old man dressed as an administrator, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
As far as he could remember, no one had visited this tombstone for many years.
"Yes, sir."
Luo Mu did not deny it, but simply admitted it.
He has decided that he will come to visit the graves with Leader Kuailong every once in a while.
Seeing Luo Mu admit it, the old man narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "I won't say anything bad. No one has visited this tombstone since it was moved here."
"Although I don't know what the hidden secret is, I think that if you can come more often in the future, the deceased will definitely be happy."
"Similarly, for the living, this is also a spiritual support."
