Elf: Re-employment of retired champion of Padiya

Chapter 795 Leader Haoli: I think I saw my great-grandmother
On the way back to the pearl village.

Because Zhu Bei's gaze was so intense, Luo Mu finally couldn't help but stop and ask helplessly, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Oh! It's nothing, it's just that I feel like I've come to know you all over again."

Zhu Bei quickly averted her focused gaze and scratched her fair cheek with a slightly embarrassed expression.

She then turned to the side and murmured to herself in a voice only she could hear.

"No way, it can't be true, it shouldn't be like this."

She hadn't taken Luo Mu's self-introduction seriously before.

But after what just happened, Zhubei's firm belief wavered.

But she still managed to convince herself with the tenacious character of the people of Xicui.

Um—

The Divine Lord they worship is the one who created the foundation of the universe and space.

As His messenger, one must possess abilities such as effortless spatial teleportation!

Besides, there are plenty of strong people in such a vast land as Xicui, and Luo Mu is just a little stronger than them.

Well, it's just a Pokémon big enough to knock out a leader Pokémon that can wreak havoc on a settlement with a single punch.

In short, it's too early to conclude that Luo Mu is the messenger of the Great Lord Sinnoh!
The argument is complete!

Zhu Bei decided to observe Luo Mu for a while longer.

Anyway, the current situation is clear enough.

Even though strength isn't always the solution to every problem, there are many Pokémon that don't rush in to fight like the leader Machoke, but instead keep their distance and breathe fire or water.

Regardless of whether he is related to Sinnoh or not, just considering the fact that he is the leader of Machoke, the potential and value of Luo Mu are already immeasurable.

This is a talent that comes along only once in a century, no, once in a millennium!
If she hadn't maintained a certain level of rationality, Zhu Bei, whose ideal was to make the Pearl Team bigger and stronger, would have immediately invited Luo Mu to serve as a cadre of the Pearl Team, that is, the farm manager.

The amnesiac Mr. Kitsho was promoted so quickly to be the field manager in charge of taking care of Sneasel because he had unique insights into training Pokémon, which greatly improved the strength of Team Pearl and allowed Team Pearl to show off in front of Team Kong.

Given Luo Mu's current potential, Zhu Bei believes it's only a matter of time before he gains the approval of the Pearl Team members and becomes the team leader, perhaps even faster than Bei Shang.

Luo Mu was unaware of the turmoil in Zhu Bei's mind at that moment; he was communicating with the King of the Brilliant Crown through telepathy.

Because he often chats and jokes with the prompting system in his mind, he has no problem communicating even without speaking.

At this moment, the Crowned King was explaining to Luo Mu the ancient common knowledge it knew, and it particularly emphasized one point.

"Although I don't know what era we are in now, based on my past memories, it's best not to bring modern values ​​into this era."

"Although it is no longer the era of monsters where Pokémon were restrained by tools, in fact, humans and Pokémon have begun to cooperate in the early stages, and even Poké Balls have appeared."

"But there are still a lot of humans who fear the power of our Pokémon and are afraid of our approach. This is a perception that will take time to change, so try not to waste your energy."

"The Crowned King said earnestly."

Because it knows Luo Mu well, it is worried that Luo Mu, who loves Pokémon, might have some ulterior motives when witnessing these ancient situations.

Even if the legitimacy of all their subsequent actions has been recognized by Wu Si, it would be best not to cause any major changes in this era.

"I understand everything you're saying."

Luo Mu naturally listened to the gentle persuasion of the Queen of the Brilliant Crown.

He was also aware that many of the ideas in this era were completely different from those in modern times, and even from his own perspective as a time traveler.

If he had traveled directly to this era of greenery, instead of traveling from the modern Pokémon world to this place...

He will most likely consider changing the mindset of people in this era, so that the era of coexistence between humans and Pokémon can arrive sooner.

This is also a very time-consuming and energy-intensive task.

To put it bluntly, Luo Mu does not intend to spend a lot of time on this kind of thing. He has no sense of belonging to this era, nor does he intend to change this era in a short period of time by his own efforts.

His thoughts remain the same as when he first stood on this vast, white land.

He just wants to fulfill what that riddle-solving man, Wu Si, called his "duty and mission" as soon as possible, and then return to his own time.

As the pearl settlement drew ever closer, Luo Mu asked the Crowned Queen through telepathy:
"By the way, can you use your superpowers to investigate this area, or even the condition of this region, like before?"

"I want to know some important information."

“I’m afraid it won’t work.” King Rai-King pondered for a few seconds and shook his head. “Small-scale exploration should be fine, but large-scale exploration is not impossible, it’s simply not feasible.”

"In this era, even though 'gods' no longer easily reveal their identities, excessive display of power can easily be seen as a provocation."

"Given the current lack of clarity about the problems that have arisen in this era, I do not recommend doing so."

"What went wrong?"

For no apparent reason, the image of Zhu Lan flashed through Luo Mu's mind.

This is not to say that Zhu Lan has a problem, but rather that her "ancestors" are highly suspicious.

However, the specifics will need to be discussed later. At present, his primary objective remains the area under the jurisdiction of Pearl Shell, or rather, the Pearl Team led by Pearl Shell—the Azure Coast.

Luo Mu remembered that there was a volcanic island there called Blowing Fire Island.

That's where the only definite clue Wu Si provided was the existence of the "Island King".

And according to what Wusi said, that "Island King" is very likely the father of his own Arcanine.

Since the connection between himself and the past is made through Arcanine, going there should yield some clues.

Luo Mu and Zhu Bei set off in the morning and did not return to the pearl settlement until nearly evening.

This speed was already considered fast, but looking at the darkening sky outside, with snow whistling in the wind, Luo Mu still felt that Zhu Bei's worries were indeed not unfounded.

If anything happens to delay them along the way, they will have to walk at night in dangerous conditions with extreme weather.

From Luo Mu's perspective, this is nothing, but it is indeed a lot of pressure for Zhu Bei.

This girl was under pressure but wanted to help him.

Therefore, Luo Mu also needs to prove that her judgment was correct.

"Rest tonight, and I'll take you to meet the members of our Pearl Team first thing tomorrow morning!"

"The snow should have stopped by then, and we can discuss your future then."

With a wave of her hand, Zhu Bei finalized the schedule for tomorrow morning.

Luo Mu had no objections. He had originally planned to use the Pearl Team's existence to quietly integrate into this era, making it easier for him to investigate various intelligence.

Taking advantage of this break, he planned to properly train the three Pokémon he had captured today.

Since it has to be submitted, this matter still needs to be done.

After all, for this era, "untamed nature" is not just an empty phrase.

Not to mention that as the leader Pokémon, Machoke will definitely be a difficult opponent. It might obey the person who knocked it down with one punch, but it will most likely not obey the commands of others.

After all, a "Poké Ball" isn't some kind of "brainwashing ball." Pokémon that have been captured by trainers can still choose to disobey or even unilaterally abandon their trainers.

After Pearl Shell left.

Luo Mu first had the Crowned King use its superpowers to create a soundproof "barrier" in the tent, and then temporarily moved some items that were obviously important to the pearl shells aside to make room.

But after doing all this, he did not immediately release his two macho and horny steeds. Instead, he had Raicron summon the Spirithorse and retrieve his luggage from its shadow.

It must be said that Spectre's ability is quite similar to Gengar's four-dimensional stomach, which can hold a lot of things. However, the things stored are all placed in the Shadow Realm, which is neither the Reverse World nor the Spirit World, under Spectre's control.

As soon as the Spirit Horse peeked out, the Snowstorm Horse, which had been cooped up inside for a whole day, couldn't resist poking its head out as well.

"Ice hiss—whoosh!"

It let out a disgruntled neigh, as if complaining to the Brilliant Shepherd and the Crowned King about how bored and stifled it was inside.

It's really tough on it.

It has been stuck in its rival's territory for so long, even though the pure white tundra is the perfect environment for it to move around in, it can't get out and stretch its body.

But its complaints were exactly what Luo Mu and the Crown King had expected.

"You are only allowed to be outside tonight, but you are not allowed to make any noise, understand?"

A hint of helplessness flashed in the eyes of the Queen of the Lace Crown, and she spoke almost indulgently.

In response, it was met with the cheerful neighing of the Spirit Horse and the Snowstorm Horse.

A moment later, a flash of light appeared.

The Spirit Horse and the Snowstorm Horse were teleported by the Crowned King's superpowers to a slightly more distant wilderness to frolic.

Although Luo Mu was a little worried that with these two guys' ability to cause trouble, they might suddenly do something big for him.

But we can't keep them in check forever, so let's just let them be.

Anyway, the lace crown king will definitely keep an eye on them.

After Spirithorn and Snowstorm left, Luo Mu, carrying a full bag of Poké Balls, said in a low voice, "Everyone must be feeling cooped up for the past two days. Let's all come out and get some fresh air."

As he spoke, he tossed the Poké Ball into the air.

In an instant, the red light illuminated almost the entire space.

From mainstays like Xeno'jiiva and Serperior to Arcanine, Moltres, Alcremie, and Bagogo.

All the Pokémon that Luo Mu brought with him appeared in this space. Because there were so many of them, the space inevitably became a little crowded.

Previously, Luo Mu had already had Calyrex explain the situation to the Pokémon inside the Poké Balls using its mental powers, so their reactions weren't too strong.

Instead, they looked around this place, which was said to be ancient, with great interest.

I never imagined that I could not only visit parallel worlds, but also travel back in time.

"Frost Milk Fairy, come here."

As Luo Muchao stood in front of the bookshelf, trying to find any ancient secret recipes or similar books, Frost Fairy beckoned to him and handed him the dessert that Pearl Shell had specially prepared for him.

"This is a celebratory muffin, a specialty dessert of this era. You should try it."

"Muffle~"

Cream Fairy's eyes lit up, and she eagerly took the celebratory muffin handed to her by Luo Mu, carefully examining the specialty dessert of this era.

the other side.

The Xeno'jiiva, Serperior, and Swampert gathered together, all wearing expressions of regret.

They just confirmed with the Calycerin King that this era is the era in which Arcanines live.

Doesn't this also include the Moon Bear, which is also considered extinct in modern times?
If that's really the case, then it's a bit of a shame.

After all, all the Pokémon on the farm had heard Rusty boast about its glorious history of crossing the ocean, and they also knew that its home was the Shizuku region.

But this time, the Moon Bear happened not to go out with them; otherwise, it might have been able to see its long-lost homeland again.

By the time the Pokémon had warmed up, it was almost midnight.

Although reluctant, Luo Mu still used Poké Balls to recall them, especially the larger Arcanine and Moltres.

Only Shemi, Victini, and Bagogo, who was already asleep in his backpack, remained outside.

There's also the Calycerin, the Monarch Serpent, and the Swamp Monster.

Serperior and Swampert were used by Luo Mu and others because they needed their help, which is why the Poké Balls weren't recalled immediately.

Are you ready?

Holding three strangely shaped Emerald Balls, Luo Mu turned his gaze to Swampert and Serperior.

“Lagu.” “Jialuo.”

They nodded slightly, indicating that they would immediately suppress the other party if it made any rash moves.

"Okay, then I'll let them out."

Seeing that Serperior and Swampert were ready, Luo Mu smiled and unlocked the three Green Poké Balls in succession.

Accompanied by the ejection of steam.

Two figures, one small and one large, appeared inside the room.

These were the two arm wrestlers and the leader, Haoli, who had been kidnapped, or rather, subdued by Luo Mu and Zhu Bei during the day.

Because it hadn't seen who attacked it the whole time, the two Machops looked around in terror at the unfamiliar environment as soon as they left the Poké Ball.

The damage from Sticky Balls and Poké Ball throws is limited, and both are in good condition.

However, it was the leader, Haoli.

At this moment, it was clutching its stomach in pain, where the mark of Luo Mu's punch during the day was still visible.

The leader, Hawley, seemed to have just pieced together fragments of his memory, carrying a sense of having survived a catastrophe.

What exactly happened?
Why did that human's punch make it seem as if it saw its great-grandmother while it was unconscious?

"Hao—"

But more than the pain, Hagoromo was concerned about the fact that it had been knocked down.

No, we have to get our revenge!
Haoli's eyes flashed with ferocity. His first thought after recovering was to find Luo Mu and take revenge.

He quickly spotted Luo Mu standing nearby and strode aggressively toward him.

It just wouldn't believe it!
How could my well-trained muscles lose to such a small dog?!

Luo Mu couldn't help but sigh at the leader Haoli's reaction.

Ugh.

Just as I expected.

That one punch was so fast that it wasn't even enough to make the leader, Hawley, completely submit to him.

Not to mention others.

Luo Mu gave a wink to the person beside him.

Swampert and Serperior immediately stood in front of Machamp.

The leader, Hawley, seemed to have lost his mind and roared threateningly at the two of them.

Anyone who gets in my way, I'll take them down!
