Elf: Re-employment of retired champion of Padiya

Chapter 844 It was you, Little Juice, who attracted the Time-Space Twin Dragons.
At this moment, Luo Mu was like a Growlithe dog that was walking happily on the road, only to be suddenly kicked.

His face was filled with astonishment and innocence, as well as a deeply hidden sense of grievance.

no--

Why are you breathing on me?

Is taking a photo illegal?
I haven't even dug up any soil in this yard yet!
But the other party was clearly in a state of stress at this moment. In the depths of the courtyard, in the dark place shrouded by dark clouds, a figure slowly rose up.

The other person's face was covered with a swirling, hair-like substance that resembled smoke, revealing only a pair of bright blue eyes.

A red, serrated object, resembling a collar, surrounds its neck. Claws, draped in two pieces of black rags, hang down, and a pair of long legs extend from the black shadows that make up its body.

The Pokémon that looks like a human is none other than Darkrai, the Mythical Pokémon that protects the garden and Ashford Town in the movie "Dialga vs. Palkia vs. Darkrai"!
This Darkrai was also called the "strongest Darkrai" by many viewers before Luo Mu's transmigration. Its strength was on a completely different level from that of Darkrai of the "legendary Pokémon man" Darkrai in the Sinnoh League Lily of the Valley Conference not long after.

Having also seen the theatrical version of the movie, Luo Mu had a high level of affection for this Darkrai.

Therefore, his first reaction was not to get angry, or to directly unbuckle his belt and test whether Arceus's "golden chains" would have any effect on these Pokémon that were not the three dragons of time reversal.

Instead, they looked at the other party who had revealed themselves with a curious gaze.

Luo Mu could see that at this moment, the opponent's blue eyes were filled with anger, and the drooping black claws were slightly retracted, as if they had begun to prepare a move.

Luo Mu couldn't understand why the other party wanted to expel him. Was it because the battle between the two dragons of time and space had gradually begun to affect Baiyang Town, so it was trying to drive people away again, just like in the movie?
Luo Mu subconsciously activated the ball of light bestowed by Arceus within his body, activating the power of the Overlord, attempting to quell Darkrai's anger through spiritual communication.

The moment he closed his eyes, the surrounding scenery transformed into a mysterious and profound azure space.

At the center of this space, the embodied form of Darkrai's mind hangs suspended, radiating waves of anger that stain the surroundings red.

Luo Mu knew clearly that all he needed to do next was calm his angry emotions so that he could establish a seamless communication channel with Darkrai.

—But achieving this level seems a bit difficult.

It wasn't that Darkrai's anger surpassed Giratina's in the movie, making it impossible for Lawrence, like Sheena, to quell the god's wrath on his own.

As a power bestowed by Arceus as the original being, Luo Mu's "special super-counter power" is naturally not weaker than Sheena's super-counter power; it's just that he finds it difficult to achieve.

At this moment, Luo Mu was like a child who possessed a mountain of gold and silver treasures but did not know how to use them properly.

He felt he could soothe the other person's anger, but because he had only acquired this ability a few days ago and was still in the awkward stage of exploring it, he, who was just an ordinary person not long ago, was unable to drive that power at will.

After a few awkward attempts, he could only regretfully give up on the idea.

With a thought, Luo Mu returned to reality.

He had been trying for a long time in that strange space, but it felt like less than a second had passed in reality.

Looking at Darkrai, who was already prepared to attack, Luo Mu frowned, unable to think of a way to communicate with it.

Are we going to resort to the old method again, beating them until they obey?
At this moment, the Queen of the Rairen spoke up.

"What are you going to do?"

Luo Mu turned his head and saw that the Queen of the Brilliant Crown was calmly looking at him, waiting for his response.

This isn't really a big problem. Even without Raicrown's intervention, Luo Mu could easily defeat Darkrai, who launched the attack.

Therefore, King Lei Guan did not take immediate action, but waited to see how Luo Mu planned to handle the situation.

After a few seconds of silence, Luo Mu, as if he had thought of something, replied, "Let's go."

After glancing at Darkrai, Luo Mu chose to retreat.

It's not a big deal to clash with Darkrai right now; the important thing is where the momentum of victory will go after I win.

After being "bound" to Victini, even if it is not by his side, as long as Luo Mu wins the battle, a victory fluctuation will automatically be generated around him, which will be poured into Victini's body when he returns.

Meanwhile, Bictini's stomach still contains a large amount of victory energy generated by Luo Mu's victory over the Three Dragons of Time Reversal, which has not yet been digested.

The tiny impact during the battle with Shinji was negligible.

However, this Darkrai is exceptionally powerful, and it is foreseeable that it will generate a large number of victories.

Any more and it will really burst the bictini.

That's why Luo Mu refused Zhu Lan's private challenge yesterday.

Luo Mu turned and left, and Darkrai, who had appeared, did not stop him.

It simply watched Luo Mu's departing figure silently, a deep light flashing in its bright blue eyes.

It did not chase after them, nor did it continue to spread its power recklessly.

After all, not long ago, it had accidentally frightened a starfish by sensing the other party's aura that was disrupting space and time.

Moreover, that aura that disrupts spacetime is unwittingly drawing danger to the people of this town.

Darkrai was quite wary of that Pokémon with the huge head.

Darkrai couldn't see through the guy, but his intuition told him that the other person posed a great threat.

Furthermore, within the opponent's shadow, there were two auras that were somewhat weaker than its own, and it lacked the confidence to defeat them alone when they joined forces.

Just now, when Luo Mu looked at it, wasn't it also putting on a brave front while secretly hoping that Luo Mu would leave quickly?

It seems that driving the other party out of Baiyang Town and keeping the danger away from this once-pure land that sheltered it is already a rather difficult task.

The dark clouds that had obscured the sky had dissipated at some point, and Darkrai's figure had vanished from the courtyard as if he had never been there.

Only a barely perceptible sigh echoed in the surrounding air.

"Ah, Alicia—"

"What can I do to protect this place?"

Six pm.

After six hours, the preliminary round of the dessert competition has finally come to an end.

As expected, Luo Mu received a text message notification on his phone that Alcremie had successfully advanced.

Furthermore, Alcremie consistently maintained its position as the top scorer, maintaining a significant lead over the second-place finisher.

The reason why they were able to achieve such good results is closely related to the fact that after taking the lead, Alcremie made the decisive choice to make a cream chocolate lava cake.

In fact, at this point, Alcremie's goal in the competition has been fully achieved.

Its desserts received unanimous recognition and praise from the audience and judges. Its first-place finish meant that it could obtain the long-awaited pastry chef certification from the Padilla Pastry Association without having to take an exam.

Furthermore, the minimum requirement is always "Intermediate Pastry Chef," which can be obtained by visiting the Pastry Chef Association after returning to Padia.

Once you receive this certificate, Alcremie can open its own "Alcremie Dessert Shop" according to its own wishes. There's no need to participate any further—

Alcremie wouldn't think that way.

Now that it has broken through, it should try to do its best.

If it can achieve first place in the second round, it might just be able to jump straight to the top and directly obtain the advanced pastry chef certification.

That's the highest level certificate a pastry chef can currently obtain.

Even Ms. Feng, who opened "Pie Soothing Mousse", is a senior pastry chef of this level.

Seeing the fairy's fighting spirit, Luo Mu's lips curled up.

The bad mood caused by Darkraiha dissipated considerably.

But this good mood lasted until he returned to Zhulan's villa.

".What are you doing?"

Greeted by the butler, Jerome, Luo Mu entered the living room.

But when he saw the large group of people sitting in the living room, his lips twitched involuntarily a few times.

In a corner of the living room, Shinji, who had been sitting on pins and needles, seemed to have found his anchor and quickly stood up.

"Teacher, you are back."

"Yes, I took a short stroll around Baiyang Town."

Luo Mu found an empty seat and sat down, casting a questioning look at Shinji.

What's going on?

At a glance, the champion kings who were slacking off at the dessert party that afternoon were all gathered in the living room, smiling and waving to him.

With a lineup of Zhu Lan, Gadriya, Wanlong, Mikoli, Karuno, and Shimi, you can clear this movie's dungeon without even needing to draw belts yourself, right?

This scene wasn't shown in the movie either.

But when Luo Mu thought about how Ash and his friends hadn't arrived in Ashtown yet, he felt relieved.

After the dessert competition ends, the judges will likely all leave Baiyang Town.

At that time, the plot of the theatrical version will still unfold as usual.

Even the usually expressionless Shinji couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye when his teacher stared at him with a questioning look.

You're asking me what's going on?

I'm still completely confused myself.

He was perfectly fine just now, staying in the backyard of the villa, trying to use his own power to trigger the Flame Monkey's special Blaze ability.

Before you know it, you've been surrounded by a bunch of big shots who are all well-known in the outside world.

Shinji never expected that three champions from different regions, three Heavenly Kings, could come together.

According to Wanlong, they seemed to have recognized each other on the judging panel, and after the dessert competition ended, they discussed it briefly and decided to get together at Zhulan's villa.

They usually have matters to attend to in their respective alliances, so opportunities to meet privately like this are rare.

Especially when the somewhat curious Karuno asked Shinji what he was training the little Chimchar, things spiraled out of control.

After hearing about the special blazing fire, every Elite Four champion present, who stood at the pinnacle of their respective leagues, unanimously showed interest in it.

They're all vying to give Shinji and Chimchar special training; let's see what's going on.

God knows how bewildered Shinji and Chimchar were when they were surrounded by these big shots' trump cards.

Although Shinji did get a lot of advice from this opportunity, he still gave his teacher a somewhat resentful look.

They were nowhere to be found when I needed them most, and they didn't even come to help me share the burden!
He had heard from Mikeli and the others that another reason they accepted Zhu Lan's invitation to the villa for a gathering was that they all intended to have a sparring match with Luo Mu.

Mikoli wanted to test the results of his special training with Luo Mu.

Having heard about the Hoenn incident from Michael, Shimi, Cattleya, and Wanlong were also eager to try it out.

As for Karuno?
She only came along because she wanted to try the other desserts that Soap Fairy had mentioned.
Luo Mu's expression changed instantly as he miraculously deduced this information from Shinji's facial expressions. He suddenly realized that the way the belligerent individuals, led by Takeran, were looking at him had a completely different meaning.

Buho!

We've stepped into a den of thieves!
With Luo Mu's pained expression, the group got his promise: "Let's have a little sparring later, just enough to make it go away."

While enjoying the hot tea prepared by Jerome, the butler of Zhulan, the group chatted about today's dessert competition.

Unexpectedly, a message reached Luo Mu's ears.

"After you finish your sparring, I'll be taking my private jet back to Carlos. I have a few engagements to attend tomorrow."

Karuno held her cheeks in her hands, looking troubled.

Although she is very passionate about her acting career, the high workload still makes her feel tired.

Taking advantage of his assistant's inattention, he skipped some unimportant work and came to Baiyang Town to relax as a judge for the dessert competition.
"Going back tonight? There's a match tomorrow."

Hearing Karuno's complaint, Luo Mu looked at her with some confusion.

"We won't be involved tomorrow~" Zhu Lan replied for Karuno with a light laugh.

Seeing Luo Mu's puzzled expression, she added, "It's not a secret, so it's fine to tell you. The competition schedule should be sent to the phones of you who have advanced in a while."

"In tomorrow's competition, the proportion of human judges will be very low; instead, Pokémon judges will be present."

"So, including myself, we will all be leaving Poplar Town because of matters within the Alliance."

"After all, our respective regional dessert associations brought a batch of Pokémon from their local areas for this, and they're currently placed in the courtyard behind the Tower of Time," Mikuri said, taking a sip of tea and slowly picking up where Cynthia left off.

Zhimi also pretended to reminisce, "I also provided the Sweets Association with some channels for Water-type Pokémon that inhabit the Kalos region."

Luo Mu: "."

It’s connected, everything is connected!

So, that strangely shaped, abstract starfish was brought here by you guys!?
