Chapter 4 Arthur Pendragon!

Chapter 4 Arthur Pendragon!

Hearing Charmander's inadvertent evaluation of his meal, Zhou You decisively gave a thumbs up to Eden beside him.

Great!

Charmander naturally can't speak, its vocal cords can only make it make specific calls, but with the help of Eden who understood Charmander's words, he actually used illusions to simultaneously interpret the meaning to the people around him!

"Just eat it if you like it, I'll make more for you in the future." "Yeah!"

In his spare time after lunch, Zhou You inadvertently recalled the original plot that he had read several times in his childhood.

Xiaozhi and Pikachu's encounter and conflict, being chased by Spearow, and finally the conflict between people and pets was resolved, and he received the blessing of the cameraman Mega Toucan.

It seemed that there was a thunderstorm during this period?

So he hurriedly packed up his lunch set and set off again with Eden and Charmander.

On the way, Zhou You asked Charmander a question: "Charmander, have you thought of your name?"

"Name..." Charmander bowed his head and pondered.

A name is a code given to a person after birth. It is a legacy and beautiful meaning left by the predecessors to the descendants. It is generally an important thing that accompanies a person throughout his life.

Charmander, the Charmander of the Three Great Families, Zhou You's Charmander... Although the titles do not have any derogatory meaning, they make Charmander more like a subsidiary existence of some other group, thing, or individual.

But whether it is for people or elves, their own names are their precious assets and the key to maintaining their self and establishing their social attributes.

"I haven't thought of my name yet." The inexperienced Charmander naturally hasn't thought about it yet.

"Don't worry, we'll think about it slowly."

Thinking back to the past, when Zhou You first took over Charmander from Professor Oak in the fire red, he was also asked whether he wanted to give it a name.

Of course, he chose "yes", but soon when Zhou You saw the pile of untranslated Japanese hiragana letters, he was at a loss. As a result, there was no exit option on that interface.

So more than 20 years ago, the first Charmander in the tour was so tragically named "Aaaaaa (the first vowel of Hiragana)".

This time it was different.

"As for names, they are often combined with the meanings that parents have for their children. Charmander, what kind of elf do you want to be in the future? How about putting your wish in your name?"

"My wish?" Charmander thought for a long time and gave a seemingly plausible answer: "I want to be with you!"

"Well, I also hope to live with you and everyone forever!"

"But this kind of wish can't be put in a name at all." Eden on the side complained, and also participated in the naming strategy, "Think more about Charmander's future evolutionary form, at least don't give it a name that you find inappropriate after evolving for a period of time."

For example, the ultrasonic larva was named "Grasshopper", but it evolved into a desert dragonfly more than ten years later...

Another example is to name the round land shark "Fat Ball", but it evolved into Cap Lias more than ten years later...

Naming should not only be combined with the child's appearance and wishes, but also consider the feelings of the other party when he is called this name when he grows up!

"My evolutionary form?"

Zhou You flipped open the illustration book and showed Charmander its own evolutionary chain.

"Can I grow wings and fly in the future? Then I can play with the Pidgeot in the research institute!"

"Charmander seems to be looking forward to flying in the future, so let's lean towards that when naming." Eden thought for a long time and gave a recommendation, "Deathwing?"

"This name sounds short-lived." Zhou You commented.

Eden recommended again: "Then Skyrider?"

"This name sounds like liver necrosis." Zhou You continued to comment.

"Then Ikaros!" Eden finally gave a name that sounded almost right, "Anyway, fire-types are not afraid of the sun's burning."

"Alas, I shouldn't have told you those messy stories all these years."

"Well...is there no shorter name, like Eden?" At this time, Charmander put forward his own opinion.

A simple name that is short and easy to remember like Eden.

Zhou You fell into deep thought.

Charmander → Charmeleon → Charizard, like a lizard born from a Western dragon, the designer is Teacher Atsuko Nishida.

Winged lizards, Western dragons, reddish fire-breathing dragons, red dragons, Wales...

Speaking of the red dragons of Wales, who should come to mind?

"Arthur Pendragon!" Zhou You said with certainty.

This time even Eden had nothing to say: "How could a parent with a normal mind name their child Pendragon... Well, it really is a dragon."

The little dragon was confused. Didn't they just agree to give their child a short name like Eden! ?

Perhaps seeing the confusion in the other party's eyes, Zhou You took the initiative to explain.

"Actually it's Arthur. It's a good name with a long history and beautiful meaning.

"Let's talk while walking. I'll tell you a story about a king. Legend has it that there is an Avalon in Great Britain..."

Arthur Pendragon, the legendary king of ancient Britain, is called the Red Dragon of Britain.

In the legend of knights, young Arthur is a noble knight king with many good qualities. It is no longer important whether his character exists or not. He has long become a symbol of chivalry.

Chivalry... the almost non-existent false virtues boasted by the knight class when ruling and oppressing the people.

"But no matter what, King Arthur and chivalry are still the lifelong goals of many people."

At the end of the story, Zhou You explained the meaning of the name to Charmander: "Legend has it that fire-breathing dragons are powerful but not arrogant. They will only use their power against the strong and never vent their force against the weak. After countless battles, they can finally spray flames that melt everything.

"Therefore, I hope you can be like your lonely ancestor or King Arthur, kind, upright, humble, resolute, fair, and intelligent, and fight to protect the weak and maintain honor. ”

Educate your children early. If you really want to let Charmander evolve rapidly like Xiaozhi's Charmander and then think about education after his temperament changes drastically, it will be too late!

At the beginning, strength is secondary. The most important thing is to establish a good personality for the elves!

…

Or should I say elf personality?

"Hmph, the knights are not as chivalrous as you say." Eden (← evil attribute) couldn't help but complain.

"Knights are knights, we are us, just use them as negative examples." Zhou You said seriously, "It is precisely because this is a very difficult and beautiful road that most people cannot do or even contradict it that it is worth achieving."

That being said, this little Charmander has only been a few months since its birth. Even with Eden's help in translating the semantics, it is difficult to understand so many complex concepts and words.

At most, it can only understand that "Arthur" is a good name and "chivalry" is a very good thing.

There is a long way to go.

Fortunately, Charmander finally accepted the name: "Well, my name is Arthur! ”
