Pokémon: An Encounter with You

Chapter 176 Blank Canvas

When the young man slowly approached the Tutu dog, its extremely beautiful pair of eyes, which were completely different from those of ordinary Tutu dogs, kept staring at him.

"(You are, companion?)"

His voice stumbled, and his seemingly timid words were diminished by his overly bland tone.

Upon hearing this, Shi Qiu stopped, stood in front of him, and looked at him with a little surprise.

After a long silence, Tutu Dog saw that the young man in front of him suddenly smiled, and his handsome face looked even more lively and stunning.

"If you want, then we are."

Tutu's hand holding the tail paintbrush moved slightly, as if he wanted to do something, and finally he looked away as if in a trance.

He seemed to have acquiesced, and there was a hint of kindness in his attitude towards him.

"Want to eat together?"

The elves all woke up from their sleep, and it was also noon. After all, in his opinion, eating together was the best way to enhance relationships.

Tutu Dog thought about it and nodded.

On Shi Qiu's birthday, everyone suddenly welcomed a new companion, Tutu the dog.

What can I say about this painter...it's hard to comment.

He is too complicated and too simple, simply a collection of contradictions.

Most of Shiqiu's elves are kind-hearted. After knowing that Tutu Dog has no ill intentions, they all want to build a good relationship with him.

This was their usual style. Although they were vying for Shi Qiu's favor, their true relationship was close and trusting.

For example, Ninetales often uses fine snow to tease Bubble Squirrel, but if a strange Pokémon is hostile and attacks Bubble Squirrel, Ninetales will laugh at it, but Absolute Zero will blast it back on behalf of Bubble Squirrel without blinking an eye.

Shi Qiu is the most precious treasure in the hearts of all elves, and as family members, they are also the solid support that can hold each other up.

But Tutu Dog is a little different from all the new elves added in the past.

He actually looks very normal, able to communicate and interact, just like all intelligent individuals with intelligence.

But Tutu has his own little world.

He would respond normally to other elves' tentative communications, but that was all.

Shi Qiu was pulled in by Nine-Tailed Fox to listen to the elves' chattering, and he showed a puzzled expression when he heard this.

After thinking for a while, Aledo explained: "(We talk to him and he will answer, but we can feel that our existence is actually no different from the grass and flowers on the roadside, the white clouds and the blue sky.)"

Tutu dogs don’t have any emotions towards them.

Happy, delighted, excited, impatient, disgusted, angry, or indifferent and calm.

It’s not that the emotions are dull, it’s that there are none.

"But even with white clouds and blue sky, there should be basic emotions and attitudes, right?" Shi Qiu asked with a frown.

For example, I like blue sky and hate dark clouds.

"(Yes, but he doesn't even have these. He is as blank as a piece of white paper.)" Teng Teng Snake explained for the first time.

"(At most, he will be a little different to you, but this difference is too small.)"

Shi Qiu looked at Tutu dog sitting under the tree, who was drawing something on the drawing board, but was just sketching it stroke by stroke.

That was the gift he gave to Tutu Dog, a simple piece of drawing paper and a vertical drawing board.

At this moment, the canvas is still blank.

......

Tutu, a natural artist, can't even draw a complete picture.

But he still enjoyed it, holding the paintbrush by the tail.

"What are you drawing?" After finishing his meal, Shi Qiu watched quietly for a while and then asked.

It was a simple question, but it made Tutu Dog think for a while for the first time.

After a while, he frowned slightly: "(What I should draw is [painting].)"

But in this painting, the green grass or the towering trees, the gentle breeze or the scorching sun, none of them appear.

Shi Qiu met those beautiful eyes, and Tutu Dog also looked back at him calmly.

The so-called simulator bonus task, however, has a hint of "malice" because of the special nature of Tutu Dog, Shi Qiu thought to himself.

Tutu can't see.

Of course, this kind of blindness is not physical blindness, but mental blindness. The vision of the Tutu dog is very normal.

But what the painter paints is not the real scene. He paints after observing the scene, and what he paints is the scene in his mind.

Grass, trees, insects, wind, clouds, and sunshine, if they leave no trace in Tutu Dog's mind, then he naturally cannot paint them.

So he could only linger on the painting vaguely, but Guanshi ignored him again.

Shi Qiu suddenly spoke again: "Do you reject fighting?"

Tutu still held the tail in his dog hand, but put it down from the drawing board and shook his head at Shi Qiu: "(Not opposed.)"

Shi Qiu, as an individual, is indeed somewhat special to Tutu Dog.

In his eyes, the boy was actually no different from other things, but there was vaguely a thin thread connecting them.

Slight, but present. Not very noticeable, but clearly visible.

It was the first time for him to occasionally sense the existence of some individual being like this.

......

Shi Qiu found Zoroark who was sleeping soundly and made an appointment for a battle with Tutu Dog.

When the final battle began, almost all the elves came to watch the fun.

When Tutu Dog appeared in the morning, the elves could all feel the threat. It couldn't be an illusion. They were also very curious about Tutu Dog's strength.

"(Has it started yet?)" asked Tutu Dog.

Shi Qiu nodded.

Zoroa's white and red fur glowed slightly, and a sea of ​​clouds rose in front of him.

As an expert in illusions, Zoroark can most easily find out the strength of an elf during battle.

This is also the reason why Shi Qiu chose to use the little fox to fight when Fujin Snake and Tutu Dog joined the team.

Seeing Shi Qiu nod, the tail paintbrush in Tutu Dog's hand suddenly lit up.

Sketching.

A dazzling red color spread out from the tip of Tutu's dog.

Seeing this scene, Shi Qiu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

The image of Tutu in his mind has been fixed as a representative existence of "emptiness". It is a void without color, not even black and white.

However, on this brush belonging to Tutu dog, there are such bright and emotional colors.
