Elven settlers

Chapter 309 Joint Stampede Festival

The black shadow that Rock inadvertently found was not far from where he and the elves were, and he swam there with a few flips of the dragon's fins.

To Rock's disappointment, Sombra was not any other elves, or some kind of shipwreck secret realm, but an ordinary rocky island.

It is said that the small islands are actually just a few larger reefs, which don't even look like an acre in size. There are countless such small islands in the offshore of Sunshine Town.

But even so, Rock was eager to climb up and take a look.

Before setting off, he rented a set of fishing rods from a fishing tackle shop by the sea, ready to flex his muscles at sea.

The small rocky island in front of him looked just right, so after riding the dragon to the shore, Rock couldn't wait to jump on it.

"This place is sparsely populated, and there are definitely a lot of fish elves inhabiting it. Let's go to the north of the shady island to cast poles, and there will definitely be a big harvest. We will grill fish on this island at noon, and we will go back after eating...uh."

While talking confidently to the elves, Rock climbed onto the reef in the middle of the island.

But when he turned over the reef, the scene in front of him made him choke back the words in an instant.

On the north side of the island, on a small piece of rocky shore, there are more than a dozen fishermen sitting in a patchwork order.

These fishermen were dressed in fisherman's clothes of different colors, and all of them were sitting on folding chairs with fishing rods in their hands, staring at Roque who was climbing over the reef.

"Ha, ha, everyone is here to fish."

Rock didn't expect that there would be so many people on this unknown rocky island in the sea, so he smiled and greeted these fishermen with some embarrassment.

Fortunately, the fishermen just glanced at Rock before returning their attention to their respective fishing rods.

Seeing that there was no place for him here, Rock had no choice but to sit on Chenglong's back and leave.

They advanced rapidly on the sea along the established route, and encountered several similar reef islands along the way.

But without exception, there are some fishermen on every small island.

"Damn, why don't you even have a place. It's just fishing. Do you have such a passion for it?"

With a rented fishing rod in his hand, Rock sat cross-legged on Chenglong's carapace, muttering a little angrily.

Originally, he wanted to find an uninhabited desert island to experience sea fishing, but all the suitable fishing spots he encountered were occupied by fishermen in advance.

Seeing that he was about to go ashore, but the fishing rod he rented didn't come out at all. In desperation, Rock had no choice but to sit directly on Chenglong's back and start fishing.

But it was too unstable to do so, and it was completely random. Sure enough, not a single fish was hooked for a long time.

"Boo woo..."

Chenglong stuck his head out of the water and shook his head at Rock, indicating that he didn't see anything.

"Oh, forget it, let's go back. The Air Force is not guilty of war today. Go ashore and eat takoyaki, guys."

Unwillingly, Rock took back the fishing rod, and then returned to the shore with the dragon after swimming enough.

Under the understanding eyes of the owner of the fishing tackle shop, the blushing Rock returned the rented fishing tackle empty-handed, then rode on Geranium and ran away without looking back.

Although no fish was caught, Rock and the elves still had a meal of grilled fish and takoyaki for lunch, but it was caught by someone else in the restaurant.

After lunch, Rock purchased some supplies, and then went back to Sara's house ahead of schedule, where he sat on the sofa with the elves, ate ice cream and watched a movie all afternoon.

Generally speaking, it was a very pleasant day to stay in Sunshine Town, so in the evening, Rock happily settled today's room fee for Sarah.

Then, in the morning sun of the second day, we embarked on the journey to Sal Ranch.

"Huh? Why are there so many people?"

At this time, Rock was riding on Geranium's back, standing on the grass beside the road, waiting for a team of flame-drawn carriages to pass by.

This is the third convoy Rock has encountered today. This country road, which is usually only passed by wild elves, is extremely lively today.

When the last carriage of the convoy passed, a driver of the carriage took off his hat to thank Rock, who also smiled and nodded in response.

Then he rode away on a geranium, and now he couldn't wait to ask Sartre what happened.

When they arrived at the gate of Sal Ranch, Roque found that the Sartre family was standing at the door, except for Sartre's son who was studying outside.

"Rock, you are finally here, let's go!"

Sartre saw Rock from a distance, and then hurriedly drove his flaming horse to meet him, pulled Rock's arm on the horse's back and walked out.

"What's the matter? Aren't you going to buy Mali sheep today? What's going on?"

Rock was caught off guard by Sartre. He turned around and found that Sartre's wife, Mel, was following up in a carriage drawn by two flaming horses. Sartre's mother, Irene, was also sitting in the car. and daughter Sammy.

"You can buy Mali sheep anytime, but if you miss today's excitement, you will have to wait another year to see it."

Sartre on the horseback explained to Rock excitedly.

It turned out that this period of time was the day of the Stampede Festival jointly held by the surrounding villages of the entire Pokémon Reserve. As an event open to the public, the Stampede Festival also attracted many tourists and trainers who came here admiringly. It was the busy situation at that time.

After Sartre's introduction, Rock had a general understanding of the Stampede.

This cowboy festival is very similar to the cowboy festival in North America before Rock Crossing. They are all activities related to ranch work, but some Pokémon elements are added.

Some of these activities are pure performances, while others are competitive activities.

But no matter what kind of activity it is, it is very enjoyable to watch.In addition, various farms and pastures around the event set up stalls to promote their own agricultural products.

This annual cowboy festival has become a grand carnival.

"It's a pity that you didn't come yesterday and missed the most exciting opening ceremony. Let me tell you, yesterday's cowgirl parade was really exciting..."

"Humph!"

Although Sartre had tried to keep his voice as low as possible, his words still reached Mel's ears behind him.

Following Mel's cold snort, Sartre immediately changed the topic as if nothing had happened.

"Today is the Taiken Taylor Race and the Blazing Carriage Race. Mel has signed up for the carriage race. Remember to cheer her up later. By the way, have you eaten? There are a lot of good things here, of course Compared with my Kentaro meat, it is still a bit worse."

Sure enough, as soon as he mentioned the battle of elves or his Kentaro, Sartre immediately started talking.
