Elf: Re-employment of retired champion of Padiya

Chapter 695: Hot Spring Lover

The attack did not have the expected effect. Instead of calming down, Bodangshui became even more violent.

Just looking at its appearance, it is hard to imagine that what Leihe said, "it can communicate with the waves and water", is true.

In fact, Leihe also tried to make a sound to attract Bodangshui's attention, hoping to calm Bodangshui down by using her identity as the guide who led Bodangshui away from the Padiya Pit.

——But the response of Bodangshui was no, it did not "respond" at all, because it completely ignored Leihe's cry.

Bodangshui's ferocious golden-red dragon eyes stared at the Lotus Crown King.

Its wild instinct told it that the Flower Crown King was the most threatening being present, and the one it could not fathom at all.

In this case, Bodangshui's attention naturally focused on the Lotus Crown King.

"Roar--"

There was another low roar, and this time, the waving water left the reservoir area that was about to boil, and came to the "shore" with hot water droplets dripping all over its body.

Against the backdrop of the milky white misty water vapor, Luo Mu finally saw the full picture of the rippled water.

It walks upright on its strong hind legs like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, its neck is covered with thick purple hair, and its two spiked tails sweep through the air.
Indeed, compared to Suicune, the elegant messenger of the north wind, Suicune can be seen as an ancient ferocious beast.

At this moment, the beast used its powerful hind legs to leave deep scratches on the floor, and its eyes were completely locked on the Flower Crown King.

——It was just an attack that was blocked, it would not retreat.

The Bud Crown King had a helpless look on his face, and his mental fluctuations accurately penetrated into Bodangshui's mind.

"I know you can understand, let's talk."

"Ho-ong--!" (Talk about bullshit!)

Bodangshui shook his head violently, as if trying to get rid of the mental fluctuations that had uninvitedly invaded his mind.

After a long roar, Bodangshui's figure suddenly jumped out from the water vapor, dragging a vaguely visible afterimage, and pounced on the Flower Crown King like a prey!
After all, it is an "ancient paradoxical species", just like the Thunder Drum on the farm, no matter how docile it is, Victini and the other little guys rarely make it angry.

——This guy Bodangshui might have really preyed on other creatures!

Compared to the predator-like Rippling Water, the Crown of Flowers at this moment was like a helpless big broccoli, with slender arms and legs that looked like they had no strength at all.

Miss Junsha's heart instantly tightened when she saw this.

But because she believed in the title above Luo Mu's head, she did not act rashly.

as predicted.

When the Wave Water was about to touch the Flower Crown King, it seemed as if it had hit an invisible wall. It tried its best but could not raise its front paws to touch the Flower Crown King's body.

A look of annoyance flashed in its eyes. Just as it was about to pull back and look for another opportunity to attack, it found that its body was frozen in mid-air uncontrollably.

The sigh of the Rape Crown King slowly emerged in my mind.

"Hey, I didn't mean to be violent."

That being said, the actions of the Rape Crown King were quite concise and refined.

A rich vitality suddenly gathered in the unprotected belly of the rippling water.

The next moment, a dark green energy ball compressed from grass-attribute energy suddenly exploded in Bodangshui's abdomen.

The violent explosion instantly swept away all the surrounding water vapor.

And Bodangshui's body flew backwards at a faster speed than when he came, and crashed heavily into the reservoir.

"Tsk, no matter how many times I see it, I still feel that the psychic-type Pokémon in real life are still too outrageous."

Watching this scene, Luo Mu murmured in a low voice that only he could hear.

However, according to the attribute combination of Wave Water, which should correspond to the water + dragon attributes of Thunder Drum, this energy ball of the Crown of Flowers can at most be regarded as a critical attack, and attribute restraint is completely unrelated.

The combination of Water + Dragon has excellent resistance, and most of the time it is only slightly inferior to Steel + Dragon.

The water attribute, which was restrained by the grass attribute, had its unfavorable compatibility eliminated by the dragon attribute, and in contrast, there were two more unfavorable attributes: dragon and fairy.

The Bud Crown King does not know any dragon-attribute moves. The only fairy-type move it knows is "Absorbing Kiss".

But thinking of the scene when the Flower Crown King used this move, Luo Mu suddenly felt that attribute restraint did not seem to be something he had to rely on.
Just when Luo Mu was lost in thought and had no intention of giving any orders.

The ripples of water that were blasted into the reservoir by the energy ball resurfaced and stared at the Flower Crown King with anger in its eyes.

If before it only intended to beat up these intruders who came to its newly selected "territory" again and again.

Now it has become really angry and has decided not to show mercy anymore.

As if affected by the anger of the waving water, the boiling water in the entire reservoir also began to boil at this moment.

Seeing this, Haidai's expression changed drastically and he cried out in surprise.

"Oh no! That move is coming!"

Miss Junsha and Miss Leihe, who had similar experiences, also subconsciously took a half step back.

Luo Mu immediately turned to look at Haidai, and the details of the battle between Haidai and Bodangshui that Haidai had shared with him on the way here emerged in his mind.

At that time, Haidai mentioned very solemnly an extremely special water-attribute move used by Bodangshui.

That move was also the culprit for causing some of Haidai's Pokémon to need emergency medical treatment.

——Somewhat similar to the move called "Hot Water", it attacks with a huge amount of steam and boiling water.

That is probably the culprit for the huge amount of water vapor filling the entire Glass Bottle City.

There is a high probability that it is a water-attribute move exclusive to Wave Water, just like the "Thunder" of the Thunder Drum.

"King of the Bud Crown, don't be careless."

This was the first time Luo Mu spoke, which was considered as a slight reminder to the Lotus Crown King.

However, in his opinion, even if the King of Crowns, who could defeat the Different Color Rayquaza, did not ride on his beloved horse, he would not fail at the Bodangshui.

"Well, I will."

The Princess Royal nodded slightly, and her gentle voice appeared in Luo Mu's mind through telepathy.

But its attention did not divert, but remained focused on the rippling water in the boiling reservoir.

I saw Bodangshui suddenly open its huge mouth, and the surrounding hot steam condensed in its throat like a dragon sucking water.

The next moment, the water vapor turned into a high-pressure steam water cannon that roared out.

The scalding white mist from the water cannon tore through the air, heading straight for the Flower Crown King with a temperature high enough to burn large holes in steel.

——This is not the temperature that boiling water with a boiling point of no more than 100 degrees can have. It can only be said that water vapor is the main attack method of this move. In response, the Flower Crown King just raised his right hand slightly, and a faint blue light appeared in his eyes.

The invisible superpower field spread out in front of it, like the strongest barrier. The violent water vapor hit the barrier, splashing like waves hitting rocks, and not even a trace of water vapor could penetrate.

The steaming white mist filled the air around the Bud Crown King, but it was impossible to get close to it at all.

This scene left Haidai and others dumbfounded.

——No, what is the origin of this Pokémon called Bud Crown that Luo Mu carries with him?
Even if it was the main force of the Four Heavenly Kings, it would be impossible for them to remain calm under the attack of the Wave Water and not even be stained by water vapor, right?

Seeing that the attack he was so proud of was completely blocked by the hateful invisible wall, a hint of cruelty flashed in Bodangshui's eyes.

No one knew how it did it, but several steam water cannons with the same power emerged from the reservoir one after another, just like Luo Mu's impression of Kyogre's "Root Wave", trying to break through the defense of the Crown of Flowers from different angles.

——But all of this seems so powerless under the absolute power gap.

Seeing that Bodangshui seemed to have exhausted all his strength, King Leiguan stopped defending and began to spread his mental power.

The high-temperature steam water cannon was suddenly twisted and scattered by an invisible force, and the wave water itself was captured by the majestic telekinesis of the King of the Flower Crown, and no matter how it tried to struggle, it could not escape.

"Have you had enough of following your temper?"

"Can we calm down and talk now?"

The atmosphere around King Crown of Buds at this moment has completely changed, as if it has returned to a long time ago when it was still the ruler of the Crown Snowfield and the king of the entire Galar region.

The imposing aura pressed down upon the rippling water, calming its overheated brain.

Although it has intelligence, it is still a paradoxical Pokémon after all. Its previous living environment was completely different from that of modern Pokémon. Naturally, it would choose to fight without saying a word, just like the Thunder Drum at that time.

But at this moment, when he was subdued by a force that completely surpassed himself, Bodangshui's sanity came back online.

——Oh no, I really can’t beat this big head.

Such a thought emerged in Bodangshui's mind, but it was followed by a strong sense of unwillingness.

Bodangshui didn't want to give up the habitat it had taken a fancy to just like that. If it left here, it would be difficult for it to find a new place.

But now, how can it, a dragon that has entered the defeat CG, express its objection?
Seeing that the preset time for the water circulation was about to expire, Luo Mu asked the engineer to go to the control console here to pause the circulation.

As for this rippled water, there's still time to take care of it after we've dealt with this one.

Fortunately, water steam does not have any adverse effects on these devices, which are very old but not so sophisticated that they will stop working if a small problem occurs. It can only be said that old equipment also has its advantages.

In the absence of any accidents or emergencies, the automatic circulation of water resources was temporarily locked, and there was no risk of the boiling water in the entire reservoir being sent to various parts of Glass Bottle City.

This also made Luo Mu feel a little relieved.

What he hated most when watching movies in the past was the plot that added to the tension when at critical moments there were either equipment problems, something was missing, or someone had problems.

After solving the "water vapor crisis", the next step is to "interrogate" the wave water that exhales without saying a word.

This time, with the Lotus Crown King by my side and the cheating ability of telepathy, I don't have to work as hard as I did last time when communicating with the Thunder Drum.

No matter what he needs to say and how Bodangshui answers, they can communicate seamlessly through telepathy.

After discussing it with Haidai and Miss Junsha, Luo Mu asked Bodangshui three questions.

1. Why did you choose to occupy the automatic water circulation system underground in Glass Bottle City?

2. Why refuse to communicate?

3. Was this done under Leihe's instructions?

It is obvious that the third question was asked by Miss Junsha.

Based on Miss Junsha's intuition as a professional police officer, she always felt that Lei He gave her an urge to handcuff her hands.

——It was like encountering a criminal.

So she still remained skeptical about Leihe's previous remarks.

However, according to the answers given by Bodangshui who answered honestly under the restraint of King Leiguan, they found that this matter really had little to do with Leihe. At least she could only be considered to have a secondary responsibility and had no subjective intention to cause chaos.

According to what Bodangshui said, it was indeed the Leihe that he met in the Padya Pit.

However, it had not yet found a territory that satisfied it, so it did not attack Leihe, but instead left the Padiya Pit together with her under the other party's "enticement".

Then Leihe took it directly to a stake that emitted a bad smell and asked it to spray water on the stake.

Bo Dang Shui didn't refuse and actually sprayed a mouthful of water.

But nothing happened.

Before the unbelieving Lei He could urge it to try again, the Bo Dang Shui, which suddenly felt annoyed, just happened to smell the scent of a water source that suited its preferences.

It simply left Leihe behind, broke into the underground, occupied the reservoir, and began to transform it into an environment it liked.

The water vapor that permeates the entire Glass Bottle City is also produced during this process.

This reminded Luo Mu of the iron bag he had collected in the forest where the Steel Crows and their clan lived.

That guy also unscrupulously transformed the surrounding environment and made it the way he liked.

This is one of the reasons why it is believed that if the Paradox Pokémon escapes from the Padia Pit, it will cause a huge blow to the surrounding ecology.

As for why he refused to communicate, it was simply because Bodangshui was reluctant to leave the environment that he had worked hard for a whole day to create and that suited his preferences.

——It really likes soaking in warm water.

Compared to the environment in the Padia Pit, this reservoir is more suitable for it to exert its abilities.

It’s a pity that there is no sunlight here. It would be better if there was sunlight.

Originally, it was planning to find an opportunity to blast a big hole on its head to let in the sunlight.

But before Bodangshui could put his idea into practice, he was arrested by Luo Mu and Lei Guanwang.

Not only did it not realize its mistake, it also felt that it was quite unlucky.

——There are so many barbaric guys in this place. They come to grab the territory that it has found with great difficulty without saying a word.

Bodangshui's series of heartfelt words left Luo Mu and Lei Guan Wang silent.

It never occurred to them that the reason the wading water made such a big fuss was simply because it wanted to take a hot bath.

Are you an avid bather or hot spring lover?
