Elf: Re-employment of retired champion of Padiya

Chapter 773 Surrender! Surrender!
"Hurry up and offer me some tribute, Kora!"

The Sky Dog proudly raised its head, looking down at Luo Mu and his companions with an arrogant gaze, its final trill of the tongue adding to its thuggish air.

It's not just about telepathy that can be used inexplicably.

Even its personality seems to have changed from a timid pig to something that's hard to describe.

"Telepathy... and it even flew?"

At that moment, Lijia froze on the spot as if her brain had overloaded.

What did she see?
Just moments ago, Shaymi was crawling on the ground, his accumulated fat dangling and dragging on the ground. In an instant, he transformed into the person before us, who not only had a slender figure but also the ability to fly, leaving the ground and standing in the sky!

And the change in personality is too drastic! Is this really the same little guy who was just rolling around at my feet, acting cute?
Compared to Li Jia's shock, Luo Mu, who was caught off guard and was temporarily dazed, also came to his senses.

He glared at the arrogant Shaymi in the sky and said irritably, "Hey! You think you can get away with this just because you changed forms? Get down here right now!"

Generally speaking, when Luo Mu's tone starts to sound angry, even in his timid turkey-like state, Shaymi will quickly slide to his knees for a few bites of food and then fawn over him.

But now, out of nowhere, a surge of courage allowed Sky Shemi to fly in front of Luo Mu and start spewing insults.

"Mimi is giving you face by asking you to offer tribute."

"Don't be so ungrateful!"

If Sky Shamy's clamor caused Rika's pupils to tremble.

Several prominent veins bulged on Luo Mu's forehead from his anger.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, very well."

"It seems I really have to punish you."

After saying that, Luo Mu pulled out a whistle from somewhere, put it to his lips, puffed out his cheeks, and blew it loudly.

In an instant.

The sharp whistle spread outwards from Luo Mu.

Sky Shemi was also startled by the sudden, sharp whistle.

But it quickly realized its mistake and, seemingly blustering but actually cowardly, said, "Hmph! It's just a whistle, Mimi isn't afraid at all!"

It's something Luo Mu has already mentioned.

I am the Mythical Pokémon, the promising Shaymin!

No matter what threat it faces, Lord Shemi will never lower his proud head!
"Ah."

Looking at the rebellious Sky Shemi, Luo Mu sneered.

That whistle wasn't just meant to scare Sky Shemi; it had another purpose.

The farm now covers a vast area.

The Pokémon are scattered throughout the farm, almost like free-range animals, making it no easy task to gather them all together.

Luo Mu's initial idea was to install loudspeakers, just like in the rural villages he lived in before his time travel, to find Pokémon or directly inform them that it was time to eat.

But after consideration, he decided to abandon the idea.

Instead, they started using the whistle that the Wise Gorilla had recommended, which it had handcrafted with the Great Blacksmith.

Although it's not very scientific, the whistle's range is wide enough to encompass the entire farm, and different Pokémon can be summoned by whistles of different frequencies.

—The Pokémon summoned by Luo Mu's whistle just now are the six main Pokémon who traveled with him and co-founded this farm.

But generally speaking, Dragonite will arrive first, given its high flight speed.

This time, however, it seems to have followed the principle of "whoever is closest gets there first".

Soon, what appeared in front of Luo Mu was the Serpent Lord, who happened to be sunbathing in the glass greenhouse next door with Zygarde Core, with a hint of laziness in his eyes.

The monarch snake slithered over, its gaze towards Luo Mu carrying a hint of reproach, as if blaming Luo Mu for suddenly disturbing its leisurely sunbathing time.

“Gallop.”

The monarch snake tilted its head slightly, as if to say to Luo Mu, "If you have something to report, speak up; otherwise, the court is adjourned."

Luo Mu chuckled and pointed to Sky Shemi, whose movements seemed somewhat stiff since the appearance of Serperior, and said, "It says it's not convinced and wants to challenge your position as the head of the farm and the leader of the grass type."

Upon hearing this, Serperior turned its head to look at Shaymi in the sky, its originally lazy gaze now covered by a sharp and oppressive aura.

Monarch Serpent: Staring.
Sky Shemi: !!! !!!

You bastard Luo Mu! Mimi clearly didn't say that!!!
Just as Sky Shemi was about to explain, Luo Mu's two unexpected sentences put him in a very difficult position.

"If we back down here, it seems that what that Shemi just said was mostly just empty talk."

"By the way, Miss Rika, you probably share the same thoughts on this matter as me, right?"

Ah! Maybe?

Lijia paused for a moment, then answered instinctively.

Meanwhile, Sky Shemi was in a bad mood.

On one side was the intimidating gaze of the Serpent Lord, and on the other side was Luo Mu's malicious remarks that added fuel to the fire, elevating it to an even higher position.

How can people be so wicked!

Sky Shemi's hot-blooded mind, which had been racing after the change in form, finally calmed down a bit.

However, given its current nature as a sky creature, even though it has calmed down a bit, Sky Shemi is still unwilling to bow down.

At this moment, Sky Shaymi's timid, cautious, and self-conscious personality is almost a complete reversal compared to his land form.

Pride, confidence, and competitiveness are the main characteristics of its personality.

This also means that even when faced with the choice between the two ultimate forms, Sky Shaymin won't slide to its knees at light speed like in its land form, but rather—

"Go ahead and fight! Do you really think Mimi's afraid of you guys, Kora!"

"Mimi, I think it's time for this farm to undergo a major transformation!"

Sky Shemi stiffened her neck, relying on her rebellious spirit to support her petite body, and then roared loudly, adding a verbal tic of ending with a trilled tongue.

Luo Mu, sensing the faint tremors in the ground around him, said, "..."

Now that things have come to this, even he, the one who shifted the blame, has to admire Sky Shemi's courage—or rather, his refusal to turn back even after hitting a brick wall.

You have to understand, it has now provoked a monarch snake!

As a Royal Pokémon, Serperior can forgive Pokémon that play pranks on it, as well as those that disrespect it or upset it.

After all, in the eyes of the Serpent Lord, this is what it means to have the demeanor of a king.

But there is one thing that Serpent Lord absolutely cannot tolerate.

That is, to openly challenge its status.

In response to Shemina's "brave" challenge, countless "crazy plants" burst forth from behind the Serpent Monarch, dancing wildly like wooden dragons.

It didn't take long.

On a desolate piece of land, a tree root about the thickness of a water bucket stands alone on the soil.

At the thinner tip of the tree root, Shaymi, who had somehow reverted to his land form, was hanging upside down. His fat body was about to burst from being squeezed by the tree root.

Faintly, one could hear the guy begging for mercy, whether from his mouth or through telepathy.

"Surrender! Surrender!"

“Mimi has already surrendered, you can’t treat Mimi like this.”

"Mimi has deeply realized her mistake," she said.

They seemed to feel ashamed to be publicly executed like this.

Shemi tried to lift her short legs, as if she wanted to cover her face.

Unfortunately, not only was it tightly bound, but after it was exhausted and returned to its land form, the fat that had mysteriously disappeared also returned, which made it impossible for it to do anything like a "sit-up" and then cover its face.

At this moment, Shami was filled with regret.

Why did it get so upset and get provoked by Luo Mu?

Serpent Lord, how could I possibly beat that? It's so strong it's practically a monster!
It clearly has the advantage in the sky and in terms of attributes, making it a dominant force.

But when those dense, wave-like, frenzied plants surged in, all it could do was rely on its agility to escape and try to evade them.

—Full of confidence, the "seed flash" was launched with all its might, but it couldn't even break through the bark of those tree roots.

Shaymi was captured by the Serpent Lord shortly afterward, and then hung up and whipped.

This also caused Shemi to change her arrogant and domineering demeanor completely; the speed at which she changed her expression was something even Egui Peng couldn't match.

—It can't even switch masks that quickly.

Looking at Shemi, who was trying to cover her face, Luo Mu was truly speechless.

This guy must be getting carried away and overheated because he finally succeeded in transforming back into his sky form.

Not only can't it distinguish between the King and Queen, but it also dares to yell at Serperior. Does it really think it's the best in the world just because it's a Mythical Pokémon?

After all, aside from a few special cases, most Mythical Pokémon are mainly for cuteness, not to mention Shaymin, which is actually less rare than those rare Mythical Pokémon.

Even Luo Mu wouldn't dare to defy the Serpent Lord if he was being provoked; it could really kill someone.
Lijia was in shock from beginning to end.

It's not just because of Shemi's changing form and personality.

There was also the commotion when the Serpent Lord made its move, which was subsequently summoned by Luo Mu.

During the exhibition match, Rika also had her Mega Venusaur use the move "Crazy Plant".

Therefore, she also believes that in this respect, her Bulbasaur is not to say that it is the best in the world, but it is certainly of the highest level.

But the Monarch Serpent's "crazy plant" was completely beyond her comprehension.

What kind of skill and energy reserves are needed to wield tree roots of that size so effortlessly?

Not to mention that Serperior's "Crazy Plants" are clearly more durable than its own Venusaur.

If Nemo's Babu Groundhog had been bound by this "crazy plant" back then, it would have been a pipe dream to think it could escape with just a "thunderclap".

This is why Lijia became even more curious about Luo Mu's other identities.

Forgive her.

Rika, who usually only works behind closed doors in Yuhong City, really knows very little about other places, especially the Padiya region.

But there is one thing Lijia can conclude.

It has such a powerful Pokémon, and a teacher like Miss Nemo, who is simply a brilliant trainer.

The identity of the farm owner that Luo Mu always talks about is actually the one that is relatively "insignificant" to him.

Luo Mu wasn't quite sure what Li Jia was thinking.

Now he was thinking about how to properly punish the smug pig, just as he had said before.

Under the tense gaze of Shemina, as if awaiting "final judgment," Luo Mu pondered for a few seconds before slowly speaking: "Punishment one: Shemin will not be served afternoon tea desserts for the next week."

The first punishment was severe enough to cause Shaymi's heart to stop beating.

After a brief silence, a scream like a pig being slaughtered escaped from Shemi's small mouth.

"Mimi! No! Mimi, I know I was wrong, but please don't say it again!"

Completely disregarding his rebellious and stubborn nature, Shemi tried to elicit Luo Mu's sympathy or soften his heart by screaming.

But this punishment was just an appetizer.

Seeing Lijia's hesitant expression, Luo Mu coldly and ruthlessly announced several more punishments.

They were all hitting Shemi's "most vulnerable" spot, practically striking at her Achilles' heel.

For example, the supply of three meals a day will be reduced, high-oil foods such as fried chicken and hamburgers will be replaced with healthy low-fat meals, and daily snacks will be eliminated along with desserts. Shemi can no longer think about waking up Luo Mu in the middle of the night and having him bake pancakes for her.

—And finally, the same pig diet plan as the fairy Eevee from Peony.

The carefree, lazy life will be a thing of the past for Shemi.

Luo Mu led Li Jia away to visit the glass greenhouse and then to the farm's agricultural area.

Yet, one could still faintly hear the screams of Shemi, who was being subjected to the same punishment of being hung there for an hour.

Looking at the plump fruits and vegetables in front of her, Lijia, whose attention was inexplicably a little distracted, couldn't help but plead with Luo Mu for Shemi's sake.

"Although I may be meddling in other people's business, is it really necessary to go to this extent?"

In response to Lijia, Luo Mu nodded firmly.

"Is necessary."

Lijia lowered her head and remained silent, while Luo Mu patiently explained.

"Actually, if it's just that level of offense, I wouldn't be so petty as to hold a grudge."

"Those punishments, I was actually thinking about when to bring them up."

"Because Shaymin isn't considered a farm Pokémon, it's destined to return to the wild and fulfill the duties of its species."

"I believe Miss Rika can also see some clues. Shami is too fat. Although he can still move after transforming into Sky Form, his agility has been greatly reduced."

"If this continues, forget about transporting flowers all over the world, one day its sky form will be too fat to fly."

"What you said makes perfect sense."

After a few seconds of silence, Lijia was completely convinced by Luo Mu.

Luo Mu's worries were indeed something she hadn't anticipated.

Seeing that Lijia understood his words, Luo Mu simply smiled and made a gesture to guide the way.

"Oh, right, there's one last thing I'd like Miss Rika to see."

"I'm sure you'll be interested in it too."
