Elf: Re-employment of retired champion of Padiya

Chapter 841 This starfish's walking posture is disgusting
Even Luo Mu found it hard to bear being glared at with such condemning eyes by a group of people.

He looked at the Unova duo who had remained silent and seemed to be deep in thought, and asked, "Do you know him?"

"Huh? I don't know anyone dressed so shabbily."

Just as Gadriya opened her eyes wide and was about to retort, she heard Wanlong beside her exclaim in surprise.

"Isn't this Mr. Kita no Naka de from the Subway Battle?!"

"A battle against the subway? I feel like I've heard of that somewhere before."

Upon hearing Wanlong's words, Jiadeliya seemed to recall something and made a gesture as if she were reminiscing.

It's true that most superpowered people have excellent memories, but Cattleya, who is always dozing off, is not one of them.

She rarely remembers things that she considers unworthy of "memorization," so her impression of the subway battle that Wanlong mentioned was very superficial.

Wanlong obviously wouldn't wait for Jiaderia to dig out the relevant information from the corners of her memory. Instead, he took out his phone, operated it, and shoved the glowing screen in front of Jiaderia's eyes.

“Look, look, this is the Raven City Daily from six months ago.”

"Don't you think this person looks familiar?"

"Hum. Let me see, Nanxia, ​​the leader of the subway company, is offering a huge reward for clues about the missing twin brother?"

Cattleya read out the content that occupied most of the page, word by word, while some related impressions surfaced in her mind.

She remembered that about half a year ago, she saw Xiaoju forward a related message in the group chat of the Four Heavenly Kings and the Master of the United Alliance.

Since it had nothing to do with her, Gadriya glanced at it and then ignored it.

But even in this situation, she could still recall the details of that previous glance, which only shows that the memory of a superpowered person is still quite remarkable.
"So, he's the missing twin brother?"

Zhu Lan crossed her arms and succinctly summarized.

"They say he's the twin brother, but he seems a bit older than he is."

Jerome, the butler who had been observing the situation, also shared his opinion.

"Indeed."

They all nodded in unison.

Compared to the photo on Wanlong's phone, which was taken six months ago and published in the Raven City Daily, was a picture of the twins together.

The Bei Shang before us now looks more than just dressed like someone who has been wandering for a long time; even with his eyes closed, his face is filled with a sense of "vicissitudes."

This caused a stark change in his temperament compared to that of his brother.

Wanlong then added, "And I heard that Mr. Beishang mysteriously disappeared after only taking a nap."

"That night, the two brothers said goodnight to each other as usual and went back to their respective rooms to sleep. But when Mr. Nanxia went to Mr. Beishang's room the next day to wake him up for dinner, he found that only Mr. Beishang's very precious Poké Ball was left on the bed, but he himself had disappeared without a trace."

"After that, Mr. Nanxia frantically searched for Mr. Beishang's whereabouts, which caused the subway's operation to deteriorate for nearly half a year."

"But I can understand his feelings. A living person just disappeared out of thin air. Even the possibility of a prank by a Psychic or Ghost-type Pokémon has been ruled out, but there is still no clue."

Wanlong sighed as she recalled her feelings at that time.

"How do you know so much about this?" Cattleya looked at her best friend with a strange expression.

"Hehe, after hearing about this, I went to investigate it, thinking it might inspire my novel."

"For example, twin Screwpods that have always depended on each other might mysteriously get separated one day. The missing brother might actually have been taken away and raised by an alien Garchomp."

"Then the two brothers, whose fates had completely diverged, suddenly met again during a battle for territory."

"Or rather, the theme of disappearing into the shadows is quite interesting—"

Seeing that Wanlong was about to continue her long-winded speech, Zhulan stepped forward once again.

"Then let's contact Mr. Nanxia as soon as possible."

She sealed the conversation with a single sentence, while giving Luo Mu a meaningful look.

"That's what you wanted too, isn't it?"

"Correct."

Luo Mu grinned. Communicating with a smart person like Zhu Lan was so effortless; he didn't have to think about how to deal with the barrage of "why" questions.

Luo Mu also made sure to explain the current situation in Bei Shang.

"He was suffering from amnesia before, but I cured him. However, because his memories are still confused, he needs time to sort them out, which is why he fell asleep."

"Amnesia!?"

Wanlong covered her mouth and gasped softly, it was unclear what she was so excited about.

However, with Zhu Lan keeping her in check, she didn't press Luo Mu for details.

Meanwhile, Gadriya placed her hand on Bei Shang's forehead, closed her eyes, and carefully felt his forehead before drawing a diagnosis.

"Indeed, the memories are quite chaotic. Logically speaking, even if I were to help sort them out, it would take a lot of effort and time to completely organize them. It seems you have a superpowered 'expert' on your side."

She gave Luo Mu a meaningful look.

It's not that she's bragging, but even when comparing her to other Pokémon, there are only a handful of individuals whose superpowers surpass hers.

Could it be some legendary Pokémon with psychic powers that has made its move?

"Then I'll trouble you to settle this Mr. Kitashō in the guest room and take good care of him."

After obtaining Luo Mu's consent, Zhu Lan first gave instructions to the butler, Jerome, and then spoke to Cattleya and Wanlong.

"Then, after your trip is over, take him back to the group and hand him over to Mr. Nanxia."

Wanlong made a gesture as if to say, "Leave it to me, no problem."

Cattleya turned her head away, looking smug, and said, "Well, since it's my sister's arrangement, I'll reluctantly have Shilan prepare a private jet equipped with complete medical equipment."

Seeing that the group had settled Bei Shang's destination in just a few words, Luo Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

See? That's the benefit of having connections.

It wasn't for nothing that he specifically asked Wanlong and Gadria, the two Heavenly Kings of the Unova, if they knew Beishang.

Without the two of them and Zhu Lan, I would have had to wait until Bei Shang woke up again, or make a special trip to the Unova region to settle him properly.

This can be considered as making up for a regret.

At this moment, Shinji, who had been unable to get a word in edgewise, finally blurted out a sentence after a long pause.

"Excuse me, what is 'Battle Metro'?" Shinji's triangular eyes, which looked a bit fierce, furrowed tightly as he struggled with the question.

The group exchanged glances, speechless for a moment.

afternoon.

In the backyard of Zhu Lan's villa.

Even as seasoned league champions and the Four Heavenly Kings, all three made the same judgment when they saw the flames soaring into the sky in front of them.

This little fire monkey has a limitless future!

Despite having a physique that is only slightly better than the standard compared to others of the same race, there is no particular potential to be seen.

Not to mention compared to Cynthia's impression of Infernape, the Elite Four's Infernape, which could even withstand her Garchomp attacks for a long time.

But who would have thought that such power was hidden in the skinny body of Chimchar?

At this moment, Victini, who had generated this force, almost vomited due to the "intense" exercise.

To allow Victini to mobilize his power amidst a massive accumulation of victories is akin to scooping scraps from the throat of someone whose stomach is stuffed full.

It would be strange if I didn't want to throw up.

Amidst the chaos of war, Luo Mu and King Lei Guan managed to settle Bictini back home.

When he returned, he found Shinji staring at the little fire monkey who was overjoyed at finally successfully triggering "Fire" on its own, pursing his lips and seemingly lost in thought.

"What's wrong? Shouldn't you be happy if you succeeded?"

Luo Mu stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, his gaze fixed ahead.

Zhu Lan was gently giving the little fire monkey a massage, while Jia Deliya seemed to be jealous of the monkey, and Wan Long was writing something furiously.
Upon hearing Luo Mu's question, Shinji, who had been clenching his fists, turned around with a complicated expression. "But I am not Victini's trainer."

"It is your Pokémon, teacher."

"Without Victini's help, I still wouldn't be able to unleash Chimchar's power."

Shinji succinctly pinpointed the crux of the problem.

Indeed, the experiment was a success; Victini did have the ability to unleash the latent power within the Chimpanzee.

However, this has no reference value whatsoever.

There is only one Victini, which is Law's Pokémon, not Shinji's Pokémon. It is impossible for Victini to help Chimchar unleash its hidden power at all times.

Shinji was undoubtedly conflicted at that moment.

On the one hand, he was disappointed that he could never bring out the true talent and ability of Chimchar.

On the other hand, when he heard that Cynthia, Cattleya, and Wanlong, three of the strongest trainers at the pinnacle of their professions, all acknowledged that Chimchar's future was limitless, he had a somewhat pessimistic thought.

Perhaps it's not that Chimchar can't keep up with the team's training pace, but rather that Chimchar is holding Chimchar back.
Luo Mu was well aware of what Shinji was thinking at that moment.
In the end, he sighed and gently comforted her, "It's alright, you have a long future ahead of you. Just because you can't do it now doesn't mean you can't do it in the future."

"Perhaps there will be a chance for change in the future?"

Shinji simply nodded slightly, but looking at his expressionless and serious face, it was clear that he was thinking about something.

Although the experiment was successful, Luo Mu did not intend to let Shinji leave immediately.

Before going to wash the jade, his sense of responsibility as a teacher would have driven him to make Shinji run away immediately after he finished.

But now, all that remains in his mind is composure.

Shinji and Chimchar should just stay at Ran's villa for special training for the next few days.

He would also help Bictini with their special training as much as possible, without making himself too uncomfortable.

In this way, the more times "Special Blaze" is activated, the more likely Chimchar will be able to get the hang of it?
Time flies, and the next day has arrived.

It was also the third day since Luo Mu arrived in Baiyang Town, May 3rd.

The "Dessert Competition," organized at the Time Tower, a landmark building in Baiyang Town, will also open today.

Alcremie has worked hard for a long time to prepare for today's match.

Although some "unexpected" events on the way caused a lot of delays, it also gave me almost a month of extra time to practice.

But today is the day when Alcremie will test the results of her hard work.

After learning that Zhu Lan, Jia Deliya, and Wan Long were among the invited judges for today's competition, Soap Milk Fairy did not make any desserts all day yesterday in order to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

It may seem like a loss, but Alcremie also gained plenty of rest time to adjust her condition.

After all, this skill doesn't require last-minute cramming, but rather daily practice and a flash of inspiration.

Standing beneath the Tower of Time and Space, gazing up at this magnificent structure, carved with exquisite spiral patterns and composed of two independent yet interconnected Towers of Time and Towers of Space, it resembles two harps.

This is also the largest musical instrument in the world.

Even Luo Mu was deeply moved when he saw this "miraculous building" up close.

He turned to look at the Brilliant King, who was also admiring the Tower of Time and Space, and pointed to the center of the tower's tip, asking, "Brilliant King, can you see what's up there?"

In the movie, Darkrai discovers Palukia, who is healing there.

With the strength of the Queen of the Brilliant Crown, she should be able to see through the disguise at a glance.

After observing closely, Queen Kelei shook her head slightly. "There's nothing there."

Luo Mu nodded slightly, not surprised by the Queen of the Lace-Crowned King's answer. "Hmm, I didn't sense anything with my super-counter power either."

His own super-counter power is a completely enhanced version of Sheena's; she can sense Dialga in another dimension and call it out to do work, so Luo Mu can naturally do the same.

But at least for now, Luo Mu doesn't have that feeling.

It's also possible that the two dragons didn't start fighting because Ash and his friends hadn't arrived yet, or the intensity of the battle hadn't reached the point of affecting Ashtown.

So what is the situation with Darkrai in Gaudi's courtyard behind the Tower of Time?

"What are you all dawdling for? Hurry up and go inside! Mimi wants to see what's inside!"

Shaymi's shout interrupted Luo Mu's thoughts. He glanced at it, then exchanged a look with Alcremie, who was now wearing a white pastry chef's hat and had a serious expression. Luo Mu then strode toward the entrance of the Tower of Time.

That's true, instead of thinking about these things, let's go in and visit today's venue.

Just as Luo Mu was thinking this, Shemi's "loud roar" rang out again through telepathy.

"Ugh! That Pokémon's walking motion is so disgusting! Mimi's eyes are going to go blind!"

Following Shemi's gaze, Luo Mu was stunned.

In the queue ahead of them to enter the Tower of Time, a starfish, entirely pale purple with shimmering red gems embedded in the gold of its forehead, was running wildly in a truly bizarre manner.
Luo Mu: (⊙x⊙;)! ?
No, in the animation, doesn't this thing walk by hopping?
