Elf: Re-employment of retired champion of Padiya

Chapter 839 Shinji Arrives, Chimchar vs. Goomy

Luo Mu quickly chose a room.

Although it is located in a tourist city, even with Zhu Lan's financial resources, both the villa's land area and the size of the guest rooms have been reduced to varying degrees.

But for Luo Mu, simply lying on that modern bed, which he hadn't seen for half a month, was already incredibly satisfying.

Considering that they were currently in someone else's home, Luo Mu did not release all of the Xenogriffs, but instead had to make do with them, letting them rest in their Poké Balls for the night.

Although the comfort level inside the Poké Balls is not as good as outside, Luo Mu specially replaced all of them, except for a few special Poké Balls, with deluxe balls that provide a more comfortable environment.

In this respect, it shouldn't be too bad.

However, he still released Goody, Zoroark, and Zoroark from the distinctive Ancient Green Poké Ball.

One reason is that the environment inside ancient Poké Balls seems to be quite cramped, since the technology hadn't yet reached the point where the comfort of Pokémon living could be considered.

So Luo Mu planned to stroll around the market in Baiyang Town during the day and pick out some suitable Poké Balls for them.

On the other hand, there is also the consideration of wanting them to adapt to the modern environment as soon as possible.

"Luo Enzyme?"

Suddenly appearing in this place covered with soft wool carpet, Nianmei instinctively shrank into her shell. The steel shell that had been standing upright swayed a few times on the ground before finally calming down.

It wasn't the change in environment that caused its stress, because Luo Mu had prepared them psychologically long beforehand.

Sticky Meadow's main concern was that the mucus secreted from her body would soil the precious-looking carpet.

Although it is not as timid as before, it still cares about these trivial matters.

In this situation, Luo Mu doesn't need to get involved.

When Talebagos, who was already resting on the carpet, saw this, he moved his limbs over to Nianmeier and called out "Bagobagos" to give Nianmeier "psychological counseling".

Who would have thought that it, which had been withdrawn for so long, could now comfort and encourage its new companions?
With the help of the Super-King, Luo Mu no longer needed the help of the Rare Crown King and others, and he could understand what Talebagos had said to Noodle.

—Don't let it worry about these little things, Luo Mu will handle everything, they can rely on each other in this regard.

Luo Mu was quite pleased to hear this; who doesn't like the feeling of being trusted?
Besides, even if the carpet is dirty, he can apologize tomorrow morning and replace it with a new one, or find a way to clean it. He can't make Nianmei feel wronged and restricted, can he?

the other side.

Unlike Nume, who completely forgot about the changes in her environment because of this incident, Zoroark's behavior was much more rational.

It raised its head, surveying the unfamiliar surroundings, sensing the air so different from the pure white permafrost and even the verdant landscape, and even the subtle differences in the surroundings.

Compared to Zoroark, who was only concerned with the comfort of lying on the wool carpet and had no idea what time travel was, Zoroark was clearly thinking much more.

Its eyes were filled with complexity and unspeakable amazement.

What Luo Mu said was actually true.

It took Zorua to seek refuge with the other side, hoping for a safe and peaceful living environment.

But this act of seeking refuge seemed to have transported them directly to a place completely different from the era in which they had once lived.
Meanwhile, above, in Zhulan's bedroom.

Calderia, who had collapsed onto the large bed and was enjoying the blissful feeling of being surrounded by her older sister's presence, suddenly raised her head.

"Ok?"

She blinked her eyes, which had long, thick, brush-like eyelashes, and a hint of doubt appeared in her emerald green eyes.

"What's wrong, Gadriya?" Zhu Lan, who smelled fresh from her bath and was wearing a silk nightgown, sat on the edge of the bed and asked Gadriya, who was acting strangely.

Wanlong, who was lounging lazily in a recliner reading a book, let out an exaggerated and somewhat comical shout, "Whoa, is your superpower about to go out of control again?"

"This bedroom... no, the entire villa will be blown up!"

"I still have an unfinished novel manuscript in my bedroom, please have mercy."

"No way!" Gadriya rolled her eyes at Wanlong and said irritably, "That happened so long ago, and I've been able to control my abilities properly for a long time, okay?"

“She was just teasing you on purpose.” Zhu Lan, who saw right through Wan Long’s thoughts, gently placed her hand on Cattleya’s fluffy head. “What’s going on?”

"What did you discover? Or perhaps... foresee the future?"

"Hmm. I'm not one of those charlatans. I rarely see glimpses of the future. Most of what I see are occasional precognitive dreams."

While cursing herself for being powerless against Zhu Lan's gentleness, Cattleya silently leaned her head closer, while not forgetting to explain.

"I just felt that there was something unsettling about coming from the room downstairs."

"The rooms downstairs?" Wanlong closed her book and walked over. "Besides Butler Jerome, the only other person living downstairs is that champion Luo Mu, right?"

“Yes.” Gadriya nodded, confirming Wanlong’s idea of ​​directly targeting the “target”.

"That's probably a Pokémon he caught. For Cattleya to sense it, it must be either a very special Pokémon or a very powerful one."

Zhulan added.

Neither of the Four Heavenly Kings denied this.

Despite never having met the other party, the two of them learned a lot about him through various channels due to the series of reactions brought about by the champion Adek's strong comeback.

His students have twice defeated Blueberry Academy, which is heavily supported by the United Alliance; his exploits are countless.
It's not surprising that one or two exceptional individuals triggered a reaction from Gadria, who is also one of the most powerful superpowered beings.

They didn't dwell on it too much, and after chatting about their private matters for a while, they both drifted off to sleep.

In the room below, Luo Mu looked at Nume, Zoroark, and Zoroark, who were gradually adapting to the modern environment, and considered letting them experience the outdoor environment again tomorrow, and if possible, having a few more battles.

This can also speed up their adaptation to the environment.

After all, even though they are both in the same Sinnoh region, there are still many subtle differences in climate between ancient and modern Satsuki.

This difference led to the gradual disappearance of some Pokémon that were once known as "Emerald" from history.

This is something that cannot be taken lightly.

but.

Now that I think about it carefully, could this be considered a form of time smuggling?
Although Wusi said that bringing Beishang and Nianmeier along wouldn't cause too much disruption to spacetime, it could be considered a small privilege granted by the world or the creator Arceus after the balance of spacetime was restored.

But Luo Mu suddenly realized that he seemed to have done something similar a long time ago.

Whether it was bringing back Tapu Fini and Balloon from a parallel universe, or opening a blind box with a time machine and winning the Talebagh, which should have gone extinct in that time period.

Why haven't the Time-Space Twin Dragons come out to attack me? Are they too busy, or are they just too patient?
Luo Mu couldn't quite understand it, but he didn't care too much about it.

More than that, he was concerned about Bei Shang, whom he had just mentioned.

So, before turning off the lights, Luo Mu asked the Brilliant King one more question.

How is he?

The Crown King, who was standing by the window gazing at the starry sky and seemed to be thinking of the Cosmog, turned around and replied, "Still asleep."

Luo Mu certainly didn't leave Bei Shang in the ancient hermitage, or simply abandon him in the wild.

In fact, the sleeping Bei Shang enjoyed similar treatment to Ma Jiamu, and is now lying comfortably in the shadow of Lingyouma.

Since he couldn't possibly carry an unconscious person around all the time after coming to Baiyang Town, and his reputation might be damaged, he naturally had no choice but to do this. As for Bei Shang's amnesia...

According to the Crown King's original words, although it released the sealed memories in Bei Shang's brain, Bei Shang's brain still needs some time to process these memories that have been sealed for a long time by the power of the space-time rift. Therefore, during this period, Bei Shang will be in a vegetative state.

After unexpectedly seeing Cattleya and Wanlong, the two Elite Four of Unova, at Zhulan's villa today, Luo Mu made up his mind.

After I finish my business tomorrow, I'll ask the two of them if they know anyone from the subway battle, so I can call Bei Shang's brother to come and pick them up.

Luo Mu didn't want to make another trip to Hezhong.

The next morning.

After a comfortable sleep in his modern bed, Luo Mu changed his clothes and went to the living room, only to find the butler, Jerome, waiting there.

"How about them?"

Guided by Jerome, Luo Mu sat down at the table and was soon presented with a steaming, exquisite breakfast. Curious, he asked the other person a question.

"If you ask about Miss Eldest, Miss Caterina, and Miss Wanlong, they should still be sleeping soundly right now."

"When the three of us get together, we can't help but chat until late at night, please forgive us."

Jerome seemed to have anticipated this, and answered very quickly.

While Luo Mu was enjoying breakfast, he explained the room carpet issue to Jerome again.

The other party answered readily, saying that the sea hare beasts of Zhulan often crawl around in the house, and they have special cleaning methods for this kind of slime, as well as replacement blankets, so Luo Mu doesn't have to worry about such trivial matters.

Just as breakfast was coming to an end, Jerome suddenly asked, "What are your plans for this morning?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"If there are any tourist attractions you would like to visit, I can accompany you and explain them to you."

"Thank you, but I'd like to wander around Baiyang Town by myself."

"Alright, the young lady and the others probably won't wake up until noon. Would you like to come back for lunch?"

"Yes." Luo Mu nodded, then, as if remembering something, added, "One of my students might come back with me."

Jerome nodded: "Okay, I understand. I will prepare a lunch for your students as well."

I must say, communicating with a capable butler is truly a pleasant experience.

He won't say he can't do it, nor will he ask any unnecessary questions; he will simply make thorough arrangements in advance according to the employer's needs.

That's probably what all the best butlers in the world are like.

Like Jerome in front of me, Sebastian from Nemo's family, or even my own Zhihui.

After finishing breakfast, Luo Mu made some quick preparations and went straight out.

Crane Queen stayed in the bedroom, saying she wanted to use her superpowers to help Victini speed up her digestion, as it wasn't good to stay in the room too long.

Luo Mu simply kept Shemi behind as well, and under the Crown King's troubled expression, asked it to think of a solution for the lump of fat on Shemi's body.

Luo Mu knew this was asking the impossible.

But what if?
After posing a question that could be considered a century-old problem to the King of the Brilliant Crown, Luo Mu went out to attend to his own business.

First, following the information obtained when filling out the registration form, we arrived at the dessert competition check-in point located in a corner of Baiyang Town, putting an end to the last unstable factor in Frost Milk Fairy's participation in the dessert competition.

Unfortunately, the Tower of Time, which is the venue for the competition, is not a check-in point and is currently not open to the public due to preparations for the competition.

Otherwise, Luo Mu could also take the opportunity to visit the building that created a miracle in the movie and is suspected of being blessed by Arceus's power.

Followed by.

With Frost Fairy atop his shoulder and the fast-sleeping Talebages tucked into his satchel, Luo Mu traversed the bustling streets of Poplar Town, arriving at his agreed-upon meeting place.

On a hill outside Baiyang Town.

The other party was already waiting there.

"Still so punctual."

Seeing the other person's straight back, Luo Mu stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

His response was a rather serious reply from the boy with "fierce" triangular eyes: "This is what a student should do."

Shinji turned around and bowed deeply to Luo Mu under his helpless expression.

"I'm sorry to trouble you again because of my matter."

This kid is always like that; you can't find a single fault with his manners.

However, it must be said that although Shinji always has a stern face, Luo Mu can still see his attitude from his actions.

This is a good student who respects his teacher.

Therefore, I am not stingy in offering small help to the other party.

"Muffle~"

Alcremie, who was already quite familiar with Shinji, also raised her little hand to say hello.

"Good morning, Ms. Alcremie." Shinji bowed slightly as always.

After all, he had sparred with Luo Mu's opponent many times at Orange Academy, just like with Teacher Huayao Huanhuan. Moreover, the opponent would make desserts to treat them after the battle.

After greeting everyone, Shinji looked around but didn't find the figure he wanted to see.

Luo Mu raised an eyebrow. "You're looking for Victini?"

"Yes," Shinji replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Don't rush, Victini is still resting and can't help right now." Luo Mu smiled. "Instead, how about a match with me right here, right now?"

"Battle?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Shinji's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by an even stronger fighting spirit.

"Okay, please enlighten me, teacher."

Shinji turned around and went to the other side of the hill and grass, keeping a sufficient distance from Luo Mu.

He really wanted to test the results of his solo training trip in the Sinnoh region over the past few months.

"Chimchar, prepare for battle!"

Shinji was the first to release the Pokémon he had specially taken a detour to Baiyang Town to seek Luo Mu's help.

Luo Mu smiled and took out a strangely shaped Poké Ball, saying, "Then I'll choose this one."

"This is the first battle in modern times, you know—"
