Elf: Who told him to be an investigator!

Thinking back to what happened in class today.

Ze Shu shook his head helplessly.

Because Xiaoguang was shocked by a positive electric shock in the morning, the decoration on his head was glowing. Another child who witnessed it gave him a nickname similar to "bald head" and shouted it out in class.

The whole class burst into laughter.

But Xiao Guang's face visibly stiffened, and his body trembled slightly.

If Ze Shu hadn't stepped in to reprimand them and said that Xiao Guang was brave enough to withstand the electric shocks, today's experience would probably have left Xiao Guang with psychological trauma.

It seems that teaching 'elementary school students' is not as simple as it seems. Not only do you have to pay attention to their mental state, but you also have to deal with their endless questions.

"Bu-i?"

Seeing that Zeki looked a little tired, Glaceon gently curled its cool tail around Zeki's drooping hand.

Snow Child gently rubbed against Ze Shu's chest in his arms.

"Alright, alright," Ze Shu smiled. "Once we've saved up some money, let's travel to all sorts of places, see different scenery, and experience different sights..."

"Buyi!"

"Yoki..."

He walked to the room Dr. Yamanashi had prepared for him in the research institute, pushed open the door, and before even turning on the light, he let out a big yawn.

Sure enough, no matter what I do, as long as it's "going to work," I'll be in this terrible state.

Ze Shu shook his head helplessly.

But he was too tired to notice that there was a figure standing in his room.

It was as if she had been waiting for him all along.

"Buee—!!"

Zeki didn't see it, but Glaceon did, and instantly emitted a warning sound. Its nimble body immediately shielded Zeki, its ears perked up, ready for anything.

"Um?"

The sudden change jolted Ze Shu awake, his eyes flashing with a firelight. He then clearly saw the figure in the darkness.

The figure stood quietly in a corner of the room with arms crossed, dressed entirely in black, wearing an unidentifiable uniform that reminded Ze Shu of the uniforms worn by Pokémon hunters. The figure was looking at him with a strange smile on its face.

Ze Shu frowned: "Who are you?"

The figure's voice sounded somewhat surprised: "You found me so quickly? No wonder you were able to handle those two. Sigh, that's why I had to take action..."

Take care of those two? Which two, the Pokémon hunters?

And that's why we need him to take action?

Ze Shu squinted.

It really is related to Pokémon hunters.

They could even sneak in here, find his room, and wait for him to return as if launching a surprise attack. If it weren't for Glaceon's timely warning, he probably would have really ambushed them.

No normal person would do such a thing.

Ze Shu decisively exclaimed, "Blizzard!"

"Buyi—"

Glaceon was already prepared, its entire body tense, and icy blue 'ice pillars' emerged and surrounded it. Instantly, a 'blizzard' large enough to engulf the entire room suddenly descended, heading straight for the figure.

A large-scale blizzard in such a small room is almost guaranteed to hit!

"Why--!"

The figure only had time to utter a cry of surprise before being swallowed up by the cold wind and snow.

But Ze Shu did not let his guard down.

He saw the other person quickly pull out a Poké Ball from their waist. Sure enough, the snowstorm subsided, and a Pokémon appeared in front of the figure.

Scorpio King.

The protective light on its body slowly dissipated.

Two large, brownish-purple pincers crossed in front of him, along with the bat wings behind him, barely protecting the figure; a pair of bright yellow eyes stared straight at Ze Shu, his sharp teeth gleaming coldly, as if he could pounce forward and attack at any moment.

Ze Shu scoffed, "Frozen Wind!"

"Wait..." Before the man could finish speaking, he heard Ze Shu's voice commanding the attack again. He hurriedly crawled on the ground in fear. "Since that's the case... Flame Fang!"

The cold wind and fog, as if they were tangible, carried the shards of ice left over from the blizzard inside the room and rushed straight towards Scorpion King!

But Gliscor was fearless. Facing the 'Frozen Wind' that was so effective against it, it opened its sharp teeth, and a serrated line of flames appeared before it, charging straight at Zephyr and Glaceon against the 'Frozen Wind'!

When the wind and snow touched the Flame Fang, they were melted by its extremely high temperature.

The air inside the room churned, hissing continuously. The Scorpion King's fiery fangs withstood a great deal of wind and snow, but the wind also carried snow, which accumulated at the joints of its arms, body, and wings.

Even so.

But Gliscor, like a person trudging through snow, struggled to reach Glaceon. Its fiery teeth snapped down!

In the dark room, Flame Fang illuminated Glaceon's resolute gaze.

The wind and snow continue.

bang——

Glaceon had no chance to dodge; its body was suddenly bitten by Flame Fang. The room wasn't very large, limiting its escape range.

"cloth……"

Glaceon's body was suddenly sent flying backward, but was caught in mid-air by Zeju, with obvious charred teeth marks on its body.

Ze Shu frowned deeply.

The Scorpion King, wanting to press its advantage, raised its pincers high, dragging the accumulated snow and wind from its joints.

The battle seemed to have been decided.

The figure who had been cowering at the back as if afraid of death stood up and shouted, "Hmph... Is this all you've got? If you're willing to beg me, surrender obediently, and apologize, I might not be able to let you go..."

"..."

Ze Shu didn't answer, but just looked at him sternly.

Let him go?

Given the nature of Pokémon hunters, it's impossible.

Scorpion King's pincers were still waving, about to touch Zephyr and Glaceon.

Seeing that Ze Shu didn't answer, the figure sighed in disappointment, his voice tinged with regret: "Since that's the case... let's end it here. But actually, this was all a misunderstanding..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

As soon as the battle began, Snow Child, who had been quickly moved to a safe area behind by Zeki, saw Zeki and Glaceon being attacked and trembled with anxiety. His icy blue eyes glared resentfully at the figure standing in the room uttering 'taunts'.

immediately.

It puffed out its cheeks and unleashed the Fine Snow technique, which it had greatly improved under Ze Shu's guidance. A cold current carrying snowflakes rushed straight towards the figure still speaking!

This cold front is very subtle.

In addition, it was released by Yuki-Douji.

The figure didn't notice the move and before he could finish saying "This is actually a misunderstanding," he was filled with cold wind mixed with fine snow.

He was instantly frozen stiff by the cold, immediately stopped what he was about to say, and quickly lay down again.

But just then...

Taking advantage of the moment when Gliscor was distracted by its trainer, Glaceon jumped up from Zeju's arms and suddenly let out a clear cry.

"Buee—!!"

With that sound.

The snow that had been piled up on various parts of the Scorpion King's body suddenly exploded like buried ice bombs!

Bang! !

Scorpion King was surrounded by swirling snowflakes. His body, which was already weaker than ice-type, was blasted into a swaying motion in the air by the force of the explosion of ice and snow!

Then.

A slender beam of light, radiating a chilling aura, pierced through the snowflakes like a piercing sword and struck the Scorpion King's body directly!

Freeze Beam!

Scorpion King was severely injured and flew backward!

Take advantage of this moment.

Ze Shu's eyes blazed with fury as he charged menacingly toward the person lying on the ground!

"So you dared to ambush us!"
