...
This tunnel is very long.
Very long.
But along the way, Natsu is always able to pick up some fragments of Primal Groudon's carapace of different sizes, rules, and shapes.
They were all shards the size of a thumb, some even smaller than a thumb, the size of a fingernail.
But don't say that.
That's a lot to add.
This fragment was taken by Togetic for safekeeping.
In his own words.
'I'll help you put the puzzle together.'
Togetic is the best in jigsaw puzzles.
Natsu didn't ask for it, so he just gave Togetic to let her play on her own.
Because there are too many shards, Chimchar also joins the "puzzle" process.
Two Pokemon followed behind them, chirping twitter twitter discussing where to put one and where to put the other, both in high spirits.
Chimchar draws a big circle with both hands.
Togetic shook her head and took out a long, thin shard, indicating that it would not work.
Strictly and his small eyes turned, two small hands that were intertwined, from the inside out, were pulled to the side.
Chimchar's eyes lit up in an instant, nodding again and again.
Can be tried.
Or Togetic has insight and ideas.
So Chimchar is under Togetic's command, and the two Pokémon collect shards of shards.
Other.
This one is a little bigger, but not by much.
Kadabra takes it with Psychic and sends it to Togetic and Chimchar, and Natsu's attention, is gone in it.
Because of this long tunnel, it seems that the end is about to emerge.
Not far away in the darkness, at the end of the tunnel, was an orange light.
He could only speed up his pace.
There are no wild Pokémon attacks along the way, so Togetic and Chimchar have that interest and timing.
As it gets closer.
The orange light became increasingly clear.
Accompanying it of course the higher the temperature. Even though he had Psychic isolation, there were still fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
The most obvious change is the flame on Chimchar's tail, which is extremely strong and energetic.
Finally.
With a final step, the scene before his eyes changed.
The cookie cutter dark tunnel became a towering cave full of orange light, and what immediately caught his attention was the one hanging above the cave, emitting a rich orange glow, like a small sun. things.
"Cocoon?"
Natsu stared at the glowing object, and it wasn't hard to see that it was a cocoon wrapped in thick silk thread.
Because there are many silk threads above this huge cave, the dense silk threads are like a sky cover, sticking to the stone walls around the cave, and with a cocoon as the center, distributed regularly.
The light from the cocoon was as bright as the burning sun, but this bright white thread didn't seem like it was going to burn at all.
Moreover, this cave has been maintained in this state for many years.
Chimchar was most sensitive to the perception of Fire-Type energy. He was also staring at the cocoon above his head in a daze, it felt like an enormous, enormous collection of Fire Type energy, It was kind of indescribable.
"Cha!"
The sharp-eyed Togetic saw the shards of debris scattered on the ground again, and it was almost exactly the same shape and size as she had imagined.
is the final "puzzle".
Apart from herself, she picked up the shards.
Then, with a little force, she inserted one of the shards into the line in her hand, bit by bit.
With the inclusion of these shards, the few shards that were scattered in this short time were completely solidified, and the gap between them was barely noticeable.
Do not say that.
Togetic does have an innate talent for puzzles.
Natsu's eyes moved from up to down, and finally he saw right below the glowing cocoon, a dark red shard the size of a basketball, the gold pattern above it was very bright, and seemed even brighter in the halo shone from above.
It was Groudon's Primal Carapace Fragment.
And it was the largest fragment he had seen so far, and even the two fragments he had previously collected were not as big as this one.
As he squinted to consider whether taking the fragment would be bad, Togetic passed her work into his hands like a treasure.
Feeling the warm touch from his palm, he subconsciously grabbed it.
"en?"
Immediately he felt the difference in touch and form.
Not true.
No matter how Togetic spells it, the shape of the restored cut should not be slightly rounded and only slightly angular.
Warm, round, hard, slender.
Natsu could only look down.
Then.
He was completely taken aback.
Togetic flew in front of him, hands on waist, raised her head arrogantly, with a "praise me please, I want to hear" expression.
But Natsu's attention was completely on what was in his hands.
Not.
This result.
Why was it so different from what he expected?
He thought that the "puzzle" Togetic was referring to was to bring these scattered shards back together.
So what's so good about forming fractions?
His attention was always on his surroundings, preparing for a possible surprise attack.
But unexpectedly, Togetic and Chimchar also joined for the freestyle.
The corner of his mouth twitched as he lifted the object in his hand and held it in front of him.
What exactly is Togetic's work?
Stick!
Although the shape is a little irregular, the appearance is not very smooth, and some of the edges and corners are still very clear, but there is no doubt that this is a stick!
After a long time, you formed a stick?
Togetic and Chimcar looked at him expectantly.
Natsu pressed his forehead.
But still smiling, moved to the two little ones and gave a thumbs up, "That's great."
"Chak!"
"Chim!"
Togetic and Chimchar smiled at the same time, Chimchar heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot.
Natsu looked away, scanning the stick in his hand back and forth.
Do not say that.
The direct abilities of the two little fellows were quite strong.
The irregularly shaped shards of different sizes were actually forcibly lumped together into a stick, and he grabbed it in his hand and shook it gently. It's also very tight and by no means messy at all.
The stick is not very long, about half a meter long, because the shards taken are not too many.
The entire stick was crimson in color, and there were also flickering gold streaks.
After watching it for a long time, it was very interesting, and even more beautiful.
But that's it.
If Groudon knew that the fragments of his body had been tampered with in such a way, he really wouldn't have come out of the ground, would he?
Previously a toothpick, now a stick.
Etc.
Natsu looked at the stick in his hand, and then at Chimchar, who looked quite happy on the ground.
So.
"Name this stick, 'Golden Banded Ruyi Wand'?" Natsu muttered.
