Elf: Re-employment of retired champion of Padiya

Chapter 858 This Mysterious Mimic is Too Much Like a Wheelchair!
As a mythical Pokémon that has survived for a long time and was able to fight against the Twin Dragons of Time and Space in a short period of time.

Before settling in Ashford, Darkrai, who had wandered the world without a fixed abode, had seen many things.

Its knowledge is by no means shallow; in fact, it can be said to be extensive and well-informed.

Darkrai couldn't understand situations like the Mimikyu, and had never seen anything like it before.

The superior location provided a panoramic view, coupled with prior preparation and the difference in strength.

Unlike messenger birds, Darkrai is actually able to detect some traces of Mimikyu.

That is why Darkrai was utterly shocked.

Putting aside the fact that the other party had learned its signature move, "Dark Hole," in less than half a day, it was terrifying.

Darkrai had absolutely no clue about the strangeness of the opponent's abilities.

At first, Mimikyu wasn't very skilled at using Dark Hole, and his speed in condensing attacks was also very slow.

However, it possesses a unique ability that can be described as unreasonable. Before Mimikyu made its move, even if Darkrai concentrated its mind and focused intently on following its figure.

However, Mimikyu either disappears into the shadows or teleports behind some cover, completely losing track of its whereabouts.

Darkrai had already amplified his perception to the limit, but he still couldn't catch Mimikyu's movement.

You can only "see" Mimikyu again the moment it makes a move.

This ability to consciously adjust oneself to be in a state of "being observable" and "not being observable," combined with the Dark Hole's ability to plunge the opponent into a nightmare if it hits first, is a powerful technique.

The two met as if a strange chemical reaction had occurred, producing an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

Darkrai admitted that he couldn't do something like Mimikyu.

—Using the Dark Hole alone, it would be almost impossible for it to wipe out this well-trained elite force.

Of course, if it didn't restrict itself from choosing to flip the table directly, it could quickly deal with this group of people.

But even if it could be done under limited conditions, it would require unimaginable effort, and certainly not as easy and effortless as Mimikyu.

But the Mimikyu possesses the "Dark Hole," which can "kill" a match if it hits, and the special ability to become undetectable once its sight is lost—

What kind of monster did I raise?

Darkrai couldn't help but think about it.

If Mimikyu also has the "Dream Eater" move, then it should take the place of Nightmare God.

Just then, Mimikyu returned, having completed its mission, looking quite pleased with itself.

Mimikyu's beady eyes looked at Darkrai expectantly, as if waiting for Darkrai's praise.

this moment.

Darkrai, who usually has a cold expression, broke his composure for once.

After struggling for a long time, it finally managed to utter a sentence.

"You did a pretty good job; you've barely made it into the basics."

Soon after.

Just as the messenger bird was wondering if it would have to call Officer Jenny again...

Suddenly.

A soft footstep sound could be heard not far away.

The Delibird initially thought it was a straggler from Team Galactic. Its gaze sharpened, and it was about to notify Darkrai, who seemed to be still in a daze, and Mimikyu, who was savoring the exhilarating battle just now.

It then spotted Luo Mu emerging from a nearby forest path.

From Luo Mu's perspective, he followed the coordinates given by the system and expected to find the aftermath of a fierce battle.

The Delibird might get injured. After all, based on Luo Mu's understanding of the Delibird, its strength should not be enough to take down a fully armed elite team of the Galactic Force single-handedly, according to the description in the prompt system.

But what came into his view was a truly bizarre scene.

In the tranquil forest, the distant chirping of insects, played by Master Yuan and the cricket, echoed.

Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the tree branches, casting dappled, fragmented halos of light that illuminated the fifteen Team Galactic members and the dozens of Pokémon they had released, as mentioned in the previous notification system.

These figures lay scattered on the ground, with various unidentified instruments strewn about, occasionally emitting urgent beeps like alarms.

Their postures varied, but without exception, their eyes were closed, their chests heaving violently, and their expressions were of pain, struggle, or anger.

—It appears that the entire group has fallen into a nightmare.

There were no signs of extensive destruction from a battle, no smell of gunpowder from weapons use, and not even any semblance of a struggle.

It was as if they were all dragged into a nightmare without even realizing it.

In the center of this seemingly absurd scene, on a thick branch, Luo Mu saw the figures of Messenger Bird, Mimikyu, and Darkrai.

Luo Mu stopped in his tracks instinctively.

He blinked, wondering if he was seeing things.

Mimikyu and Darkrai are one thing, but why is Messenger Bird hanging out with them?

So, the reason this situation is so strange is because Darkrai intervened?

"Deli!"

The messenger bird was the first to spot Luo Mu. It chirped happily, flapped its wings, flew over, landed on his shoulder, and affectionately nuzzled his cheek.

Luo Mu felt a sudden weight on his shoulder, but his eyes held a strange look as he responded to the messenger bird.

As the largest of the messenger birds, my own messenger bird weighs at least 25kg. It stood on my shoulder and I only felt that my shoulder was a little heavy.

When did I become like this?
Is it that the infinite energy enhancement of Victini has some unknown hidden effects, or is there something strange about the ball of light left by Arceus in her body?
Luo Mu felt as if he was getting closer to that guy, Xiao Zhi.
Mimikyu immediately abandoned Darkrai, leaped from the branch, and floated lightly in front of Luo Mu. The paws under the doll waved happily, and it even nudged his palm with its head.

"Well done, you did a great job!"

Even though his mind hadn't quite processed it yet, Luo Mu's hand moved unconsciously, stroking Mimikyu's head and praising it repeatedly.

After all, based on Luo Mu's understanding of Mimikyu, the child usually does this when he wants praise and recognition.

While rubbing Mimikyu's head, Luo Mu looked up at Darkrai, who was still not moving on the branch: "Thank you for your help this time, Darkrai."

Luo Mu naturally assumed that the scene before him, where everyone was trapped in a nightmare, must be the work of this nightmare god.

After all, Dark Hole is Darkrai's specialty. Only it has the power to do that.

As for Mimic Hill, Luo Mu did not associate this scene with it.

In Luo Mu's mind, Mimikyu should still be in the stage of learning about Dark Hole, and it's uncertain whether it can be successfully released.

Let alone using it in large-scale actual combat, Mimikyu is like Dragonite, learning the basics from Lugia and gradually perfecting it into "Cyclone Attack".

Once you've grasped some of the techniques and concepts of "Dark Hole," return to the farm and practice step by step until you have enough experience to master the move.
however.

Upon hearing Luo Mu's words, Darkrai on the branch stiffened almost imperceptibly.

Its white pupils shifted slightly, as if it were somewhat guilty.

"Deli! Deli deli!"

Upon hearing this, the messenger bird perched on Luo Mu's shoulder immediately became displeased.

It immediately cried out, flapping its wings vigorously, pointing with its wingtips at Mimikyu, who was being patted on the head, and then at the Team Galactic elites lying haphazardly below, shaking its head like a rattle.

This was Mimikyu's sole achievement; its messenger bird would never allow Mimikyu to be wronged!
"Well, we can communicate directly now."

Although Luo Mu had already directly translated the messenger bird's meaning using his super-power, he still couldn't help but point it out.

The messenger bird stared wide-eyed, its face contorted with an expression that seemed to say, "What are you talking about, you idiot?"

Calycerin is gone, Moltres is gone, and Oranguru is gone too.

How could a mere Luo Mu possibly understand what I'm saying?

That's what it seemed, but the messenger bird still took the initiative to make more gestures, giving Luo Mu a way out and making it easier for him to understand.

The interaction between trainers and Pokémon is nothing more than this.

Pokémon can understand what their trainers say, but trainers can only guess what the Pokémon is trying to express through its body language and facial expressions.

However, Luo Mu's next words made the messenger bird freeze in place.

"You mean, Mimikyu single-handedly wiped out these elite Team Galactic troops?"

Luo Mu pinched the bridge of his nose and accurately conveyed what the messenger bird had just meant.

"Mimi~!" Mimikyu nodded vigorously, and the little stick behind it swayed happily.

"I told you I can understand."

Luo Mu looked at the messenger bird with pride, only to find that it was looking at him with an expression that seemed to say, "Have you finally become intelligent?"

Luo Mu: "."

This is impossible to discuss! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

After a while, I forced myself to calm down.

Luo Mu pondered the words the messenger bird had spoken.

Mimikyu not only learned Dark Hole in half a day, but also combined it with his own abilities to achieve incredible combat results.

The moment Luo Mu realized this fact, a set of smooth, fixed combos exclusively for Mimikyu appeared in his mind.

Instead of using Mimikyu to apply status ailments with "Electromagnetic Wave" and "Phosphorus Fire," the strategy is to use Dark Hole to apply status ailments to enemies.

Basically, you first use "Sneak Attack" to disengage from combat and make the opponent lose sight of you, then use "Dark Hole" which is almost guaranteed to hit to hit the opponent's face and trigger sleep, then create distance to avoid being caught off guard by the move "Dream Talk", and then use "Misfortune Comes in Pairs" to deal damage.

Moreover, this set of tactics is used in formal combat.

Imagine being caught in a wild fight with no rules or constraints in the current environment.

Mimikyu's capabilities have likely surpassed those of any other Pokémon in its team.
Thinking of this, Luo Mu picked up Mimikyu with both hands, his face full of emotion, "This is too much like a wheelchair."

I feel like if I keep playing like this, I'll start drooling sooner or later, and my cerebral cortex will become smooth.

The only downside is that, just like Mimikyu doesn't have "Hypnosis" in its skill pool, it also doesn't have the "Dream Eater" move. Otherwise, the battery life issue could be solved as well.

what a pity.

Luo Mu exhaled, forcing himself to temporarily clear his mind of this matter. Instead, he turned to look in the direction he had come from and called out:
"You can come here."

Upon hearing this, both the messenger bird and the mimosa instinctively looked over and saw Cyndaquil, dressed in pajamas with a coat over her shoulders, strolling out from behind a large tree.

Her gaze fell on the fallen Galaxy Team subordinates, her gray eyes filled with complex emotions.

She felt that Baiyang Town had become a vortex of various events in the past few days.

First came the incident with the Time-Space Twin Dragons, and then Ash and his friends encountered the "time distortion" phenomenon.

Because she received several reports of "spacetime distortion" phenomena in Baiyang Town, Zhu Lan had no choice but to temporarily abandon her plan to set off tonight to excavate the Xicui Ruins discovered outside Shuimai City. Instead, she decided to stay and rest for the night and deal with the "spacetime distortion" phenomenon tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Luo Mu mysteriously had his butler, Jerome, wake him up, left her a coordinate, and then left first.

When she arrived, this bizarre scene was what she saw.

Cynthia's gaze passed over the lemur, the messenger bird, and the mimic hill, finally settling on Darkrai, which had been silently floating there.

She immediately understood.

It seems this Pokémon is the Darkrai that Ash and his friends were talking about, the one that guards the garden and Ashtown.

Their strength seems quite good, and they look pretty strong. I'd like to challenge them.
Seeing that Zhu Lan seemed to be just like herself at the beginning, she regarded the "corpses" lying haphazardly on the ground as Darkrai's masterpiece.

Luo Mu didn't waste his breath explaining again, but nodded to her, "I'll have to trouble you with the cleanup here."

“No trouble at all.” Zhu Lan squatted down, picked up a machine that kept beeping, glanced at the data displayed on the screen, and said, “In fact, the Sinnoh League and I should thank you for discovering these guys in advance.”

She raised the instrument in her hand: "This is a detector for observing spacetime ripples. It seems that the anomaly in Baiyang Town has attracted the attention of the Galaxy Team."

"In this light, the speculation within the league that the Galaxy Team's target is likely related to the God of Time and the God of Space is probably quite credible."

Although Zhu Lan seemed to have more work because of Luo Mu, she didn't look too distressed.

She stroked her chin and thought for a while, then picked up her phone and dialed a number that had many missed calls in her phone's call log.

"Let Wusong handle the situation here for now. He's very professional in this area, and his superpowers might be able to uncover some clues."

"It's a soft voice," Zhu Lan said.
