Elf: Re-employment of retired champion of Padiya

Chapter 778: A Secret Medicine for Relieving Lower Back Pain and Strengthening the Body.
The fossil aeroda descended from the sky, seemingly carrying the wrath of its trainer, its appearance furious and ferocious, its powerful limbs reaching directly for the poison toad.

But the other party was clearly no pushover either.

First, it used its supple body to the limit to dodge the fatal attack, and then tried to stab the fossil pterosaur's throat with the bright red venomous barb on the back of its hand.

At this critical moment, a Poké Ball on Xiao Gang's waist automatically activated.

A rogue frog emerged from the crowd, displaying an arrogant and defiant demeanor, and helped the fossil pterosaur evade the attack.

Xiao Gang also jumped off the back of the fossil pterosaur and used his body to block the three Joeys.

Xiao Gang glanced at them out of the corner of his eye, his heart churning like a turbulent sea, his mind fluttering, wishing he could propose to each of them immediately.
Although Xiao Gang desperately wanted to disregard the current situation and do this, his rationality remained intact. He simply flashed a bright smile, revealing his white teeth, and said in what he considered his most handsome angle, "Now, please leave it to me."

The two local Miss Joeys: "."

Shizuka: "."

This one remains as abstract as ever.

While trying to ignore the "Do you know him?" looks from the two colleagues next to him.

Shizuka coughed lightly and looked outside with expectant eyes.

Brock's arrival was certainly welcome, after all, he was the former gym leader of Pewter City Gym, and even though he didn't often bring his main gym leaders with him, his strength was still guaranteed.

But if we're talking about the real "game-changer," it really was that shout that came from a little further away.

Shizuka immediately called out to Brock, "Mr. Brock, could you help me hold off those three Pokémon? If possible, it would be best if you could also help the trainers."

Xiao Gang replied instantly: "Hi! I'd be more than happy to!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Brock shouted to Aerodactyl, which was circling under the dome of the Pokémon Center, "Use Ancient Power to support the other trainers!"

He then instructed the Delind beside him, "You stay close to us and fight, otherwise other trainers might mistake you for an enemy."

"Quack."

Although the rascal looked a little impatient, it still obediently joined the battle.

Seeing this, Xiao Gang breathed a slight sigh of relief.

To be honest, he still doesn't quite understand the eccentric temperament of the Bad Frog.
With Xiaogang joining the battle, Shizuka's pressure was relieved considerably.

Despite facing its evolved form, that delinquent frog unexpectedly possessed considerable fighting power.

Brock himself, along with the younger Nurse Joy, immediately began treating Chansey, who was injured by Weavile, with an experience even more skilled than the medical assistants.

Almost two minutes later, two more shouts full of righteous indignation rang out from the outside.

"Look what you've done! Stop it right now!"

"Pika pika!"

At the same time, a slightly hesitant female voice weakly rang out.

"Ash, are we sure it's okay if we just charge in?"

"Poga Poga."

Shizuka hadn't heard the female voice before, but she certainly recognized the male voice.

After all, at the recent Ayame Tournament, even though they hadn't fought each other, her opponent was once one of the opponents she could pay attention to.

Although he was ultimately eliminated in the round of 32 by Shinji's elbow that caused his plane to crash.
Shizuka acknowledged the opponent's strength, but what made her happiest wasn't the opponent's arrival, but rather the people who arrived with them.
"Deli!"

With a clearer cry than before, a seemingly unremarkable Delibird flew over the heads of the group and landed in front of the three Pokémon that were fighting Shizuka's Pokémon and Brock's Croagunk.

Let's set aside the other party's reaction for now.

At least Shizuka's Porygon II, Venusaur, Skarmory, and Quagsire instantly abandoned their opponents without hesitation and obediently shrank behind Delibird.

Their reactions reveal the kind of authority the messenger birds usually project to them.

"What the hell is this?"

After sending a few subordinates to deal with Ash and Dawn, who seemed to be trying to ambush them from behind, the team leader frowned and waved his hand.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and take care of it!"

He pointed at the messenger bird, his face full of disdain.

Delibird is a Pokémon that doesn't look intimidating and doesn't usually have much strength. I wonder what gave it the courage to stand up.

Especially since their own team includes Weavile, who is a master at dealing with Delibirds.

As for messenger birds?
Purely a useless prey!
"Mavide—"

Upon seeing its "old acquaintance" from the snow-capped mountains, Manticore's eyes lit up. It grinned maliciously and licked its paws, almost uttering the famous line that they were coated with poison.

Unable to break through Shizuka's Five Wailing Walls, the Poison Skull Frog and Tank Skunk, both seething with anger, also gathered around.

At this moment, their figures were bathed in the bright lights of the Pokémon Center, giving them an inexplicable feeling of "three musketeers under the moon".

"Hey, isn't this a bit bad—"

The older Miss Joy tugged at Shizuka's skirt, looking somewhat worried. After speaking, she wanted to send her Chansey to help.

In any case, sacrificing a seemingly harmless Delibird to stop those three powerful and treacherous Pokémon is simply too inhumane and unethical.

Before she could even consider it, Shizuka, who was already directing her Pokémon to scatter to other battlefields to help the trainers defeat the Team Galactic members, raised her hand to stop her.

Shizuka shook her head at her, "It's okay, the messenger bird is very strong."

When Shinji contacted me before and told me to be careful of Hunter J, I called Professor Luo back, and he mentioned it on the phone.

Considering Hunter J's situation, he will send Delibird to follow Ash and his two friends who are already being targeted by Hunter J. If needed, they can ask Delibird for help at any time.

And there it was, the messenger bird arrived.

Now is not the time to say things like "we will win".

However, once the messenger bird arrived, the outcome of the incident was already a foregone conclusion.

The other party is a Pokémon personally trained by Luo Mu, who has traveled alone in several regions and participated in many major events.

This is why Shizuka finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the three arrogant Pokémon seemed unaware of what they were about to face, and with predatory intent, they surrounded the Delibird with savage grins.

The next moment——

With the sound of three attacks cutting through the air, they launched a simultaneous attack on the messenger bird!

In response, the messenger bird, holding its tail in one hand and its other hand on its hip, simply raised its head.

Huhuhu——!
The cold wind howls!

A wave of milky-white cold air roared out from behind the messenger bird!

In an instant, the icy current completely froze the moves released by the three Pokémon with overwhelming power, and then rose upwards, descending upon the three bewildered Pokémon.

Crack! Crack! Crack! — Accompanied by the sound of ice freezing, three lifelike Pokémon ice sculptures appeared before the stunned crowd.

Even Weavile, an Ice-type Pokémon, was frozen solid along with Toxtricity and Tank Skunk.

"One move and he's dead!?"

Some wild trainers were so shocked that they blurted out the words unconsciously.

Most people have personally experienced how powerful those three Pokémon were in front of them.

It could even be said that the loss of nearly half of the Pokémon here, which lost their ability to battle, was due to those three Pokémon.

And now, those three Pokémon have been instantly defeated by that Delibird!?

Are they dreaming?
Of course.

The members of Team Galactic are less likely to accept this situation than wild trainers.

"A monster!"

The already protracted battle was compounded by the impact of Delibird, and some less determined Team Galactic soldiers shouted and ran away, abandoning their Pokémon in the midst of battle.

Their actions even triggered a chain reaction, causing the formation, which could have fought for a long time, to break down until it was completely routed.

As more and more people ran, the equally shaken squad leader couldn't help but roar, "Damn it, don't run away!!"

But morale plummeted in the blink of an eye, and these Galactic soldiers weren't exactly the type with the strongest convictions.

As more and more Team Galactic soldiers abandoned their Pokémon and tried to escape, and with no team leader capable of holding off Delibird, he could only grit his teeth and choose to run away as Delibird strode toward him.

But perhaps feeling that running away would be too humiliating, he didn't forget to throw out some harsh words.

"Even if you win this time, just you wait and see!"

The only response he received was the call of a messenger bird with its head tilted.

"Where do you think you're going?"
Swah——

Another gust of cold wind blew by, and the squad leader's feet were frozen solid. No matter how hard he tried to break free, it was to no avail.

Seeing his behavior, the messenger bird shook its head helplessly.

This move was perfected through training by Romulus, instruction from Calycanthus and Snowstorm, and the friendship of Regice.

If he could really break free, then what would be the point of his life? He could just end his adventures around the world and go back to Luo Mu's farm to retire.

But that's it.
Watching the retreating figures of the scattering Galactic Army soldiers, the messenger bird narrowed its eyes.

It's not that we can't make the attack range encompass them all.

However, if you do that, the power becomes difficult to control, and it could easily cause an accident.

Not to mention, the little brat and Little Girl Number Three are still completely baffled by these Galactic Team soldiers who suddenly ran away.

Unleashing a large-scale "blizzard" rashly would also affect them.

I was tasked by Luo Mu with protecting them, and I specifically took time out of my adventure to do so. How could a bodyguard allow the person he was protecting to get injured?

Let the trainers who went after them in a fit of rage leave the task of capturing those escaped Team Galactic soldiers to them.

The messenger bird, with its tail held high and hands behind its back, walked calmly to the two stunned Miss Joeys.

"Deli, deli li".

It pointed at the ice sculpture of a poisonous skull frog and called out a few times as if urging it on.

"Ah?"

The two Miss Joeys, not understanding what was going on, could only utter a few bewildered "ahs".

Fortunately, Shizuka had just had Venusaur tie up Team Galactic's team leader, who looked like he had lost his parents, when she heard Delibird's call. After thinking for a moment, she called out to her two colleagues, "Delibird means that it needs your help to fix Toxicroak's ice sculpture!"

"I know, I know!"

With a look of inexplicable awe, the two Nurse Joy ladies glanced at the Delibird, which seemed to have brought the Pokémon Center attack to a close as if a god had descended to earth. After bandaging the injured Pokémon, they immediately ran over.

After they helped the ice sculpture of the poisonous skeletal frog to its feet, the messenger bird nodded in satisfaction and then casually flapped its single wing.

An invisible, sky-blue blade tore through the air and landed precisely on the Poison Skull Frog ice sculpture.

This wasn't some kind of "elimination" plot by the messenger bird; you could tell from the bewildered and fearful look in the eyes of the freed Poison Skull Frog, which had been expertly split in two.

The messenger bird didn't care what kind of blow the Poison Skull Frog's Dao heart had suffered.

It simply pulled a transparent empty bottle from its tail, then took a few steps forward and croaked a few times at the poisonous skull frog.

"Deli deli!" (Hurry up, give this bird some of your poison!)
Poison Skull Frog: "."

Under the "tyranny" of the messenger bird, the poison skeletal frog, who was not very willing to be frozen again, could only shamefully stick its bright red spines into the transparent empty bottle.

Then the potent poison generated from its venom sac enters through the tubes in its arm into the spikes on its fist, and then is injected through the spikes into the bottle that the messenger bird has taken out.

After a while.

To the astonishment of the two Joeys, the messenger bird looked with satisfaction at the three sealed bottles filled with foul-smelling venom and placed them into its tail.

Meanwhile, the Toxtricity Frog, which had been physically burned out, lay on the ground with a look of utter despair, its entire Pokémon appearing to have faded to a grayish-white.

Its venom was actually squeezed dry by this demon.
After doing all this, the messenger bird was still not satisfied.

They then set their sights on the savage frogs left behind by the fleeing Team Galactic soldiers, and collected a considerable amount of their venom in the same manner.

In the end, even Xiaogang's unruly frog looked at it with a wary and barely perceptible fear in its eyes.

But the messenger bird made no attempt to explain this.

After all, collecting the venom of the Poison Skull Frog and the Bad Frog should, strictly speaking, be considered a commission given to it by the Wise Gorilla.

As a loyal and all-around housekeeper, Zhihui Xing not only has to take care of the various affairs of the farm at hand, but also make plans for the future.

Just like these two venoms.

The venom of the scourge frog, after being diluted, can be used as the main ingredient in a medicine to relieve back pain, with remarkable effects.

Its evolved form, the Poison Skull Frog, has undergone some changes in the properties of its venom, and its effects have been enhanced.

According to Zhihui Xing.

By diluting the deadly poison of the poisonous skull frog, mixing it with several kinds of wild herbs, and then decocting it for two nights, a powerful tonic can be made.

The messenger bird could probably guess that these two drugs were most likely prepared for Luo Mu by the wise gorilla in advance.

After all, it had heard that the human prime of life is rather short, and in order to ensure physical health, as well as various other things, it is always right to start taking care of oneself from a young age.

So even for Luo Mu's future happiness, the messenger bird must diligently and earnestly collect the materials list given to it by the intelligent gorilla.

Having carefully collected all the bottles and jars filled with highly toxic substances, the messenger bird calmly picked up a pen and crossed out the top of a list filled with dense black writing.
