This elf world is a bit strange

"Filio...Filio!"

Teacher Thornton stood in the middle, briefly analyzing the situation for the students. When he was about to look for Philio, he found that he was still chatting and laughing with Korni, and a row of black lines appeared on his forehead.

"What's wrong, teacher? I'm here!"

Hearing Thornton's call, Filio turned around hurriedly, trotted over and asked.

"Thornton, after not seeing you for a year, you're still so grumpy?"

Just as Thornton was about to speak, a voice interrupted him.

A few people turned their heads and saw a slender woman named Latoni walking towards them with her team.

Judging from their tones, the two teachers seemed to be old acquaintances, but it also looked like their past interactions were not very pleasant.

A faint smell of gunpowder permeated the air from a long distance away.

-----------------

"Hey, it's Latonie. There's still some time before the competition. What are you doing here?"

Seeing that it was his old enemy, Thornton's eyes turned cold. He winked at Philio and walked forward with a somewhat unfriendly tone.

"Teacher Thornton and this teacher Latoni were classmates at Miare University. Teacher Thornton was the top of the combat department that year, and this teacher was the runner-up. But after teaching at his alma mater, Teacher Thornton has never defeated her."

Following behind Thornton, the well-informed Antoine whispered a reminder in Filio's ear.

On the other side, in the Miare College team, the one who played this role was Chief Sean.

The two looked at each other, and both could see helplessness in their eyes.

It’s okay with Shala College, but Teacher Heitiezhu is always a worry to me.

But I didn't expect that Teacher Latoni from Miare Academy was also the type who liked to confront her.

When the two met, the routine session of threatening words ensued.

In previous years, Thornton might have pretended not to see it, but this year, with the presence of Philio and the other two, he felt more confident, and his strong body looked very imposing.

Seeing the interesting expressions on the faces of several people, Korni quietly followed and tugged at Firio, motioning him to go to the front.

"Nothing, I just heard that you guys in Sala have gathered some talented players after a long time, so I wanted to bring my students to see them, and by the way, see how you've been doing recently. Judging from your voice, you're still the same as before."

Old classmates met each other and they were also competitors in the same field. Latonie did not hide her competitive spirit.

"Then you should have seen it, right? Didn't our little Firion fight with your students in Miare?"

Thornton sneered and fought back with all his might. With Filio's performance that day as a support, today's Teacher Thornton was the offensive Teacher Thornton.

The dark face was glowing redder than ever before.

If this teacher Latoni had a personality, it would definitely be oppression, just like the intimidation of teacher Thornton.

Anyway, there is no hostility between these two old classmates. It's just a simple bickering between old friends who meet again.

He is a grown-up, but still so childish. It is hard to say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Firion had little interest in such meaningless conversations, but instead secretly complained with great interest.

"Hey!"

Seeing that this guy had no good intentions, Korni secretly exerted her strength and poked Firio lightly in the waist.

"Ouch! Cucumber!"

The instant stimulation made him tremble all over and grimace, and he was seen by several people from the Miare Academy opposite, especially Water who had been watching coldly.

Several people who had fought or at least met each other in the Prism Cup that day responded to this scene with kind and teasing smiles.

After the fierce battle that day, the people from Miare Academy were all thinking about how to defeat Firion, especially the Dream Demon who defeated him fairly. They did not think about other aspects, but instead recognized Firion's strength.

The friendship or affection between students is still simple and pure.

But it's different for Walter, who has been traveling for many years.

Seeing that the gym leader he respected very much was so close to Firio, he, who had always been proud of his talent and strength, felt a little unfair, and the look he gave Firio was more subtle and complicated.

-----------------

"The tournament is not the Prism Cup. It's 3 on 3, and it already looks a bit like a regular match. Of course, the match that day doesn't count."

Latonie had of course already prepared her words before she dared to confront Thornton. She was going to brush aside what happened two months ago without blushing or getting nervous.

"How do you know that your students can stop us in a proper battle? These little guys are indeed good, but my students are no worse. At least so far, you can't say that they have defeated Firion. As for the future, let's see the truth on the field, right?"

Thornton held his head high and his back straight. Not only Filho, but also Antoine and Apé gave him great support.

Maybe they are inferior to the foreign players Water and Chief Sean, but in terms of real strength, the other main players including Doris may not be able to beat his two proud students with solid foundation.

Such a trio will undoubtedly be the biggest obstacle for Miare College to defend its title this year, especially in the team competition.

This is also the main reason why Latoni chose to come here.

Rather than a momentary verbal battle or a dispute of pride, she was more concerned with whether she could trick Thornton into giving her some information about Philio and the other two, as well as the four students who were hiding in the background but were equally capable.

For Miare Academy, the information on several people is still from several months ago. However, for young trainers, these few months can often bring about earth-shaking changes, so she has to be cautious.

It's a pity that although Teacher Thornton doesn't look very smart, he is a smart man. He saw through Latonie's little thoughts clearly and only took advantage of her with words without revealing any specific information.

After a heated exchange of words, although the audience outside had no idea what the two were talking about, the strong smell of gunpowder could be faked.

"Fighting" is usually something that makes the majority of spectators happier than "gkd".

The audience, who were eager to watch the fun, immediately started to make a fuss.

What they hoped to see appeared.

As people watching the game, they just hope that the atmosphere is as tense as possible.

A battle that is filled with gunpowder is a real battle.

......

......

After a round of bickering that they both enjoyed, and seeing that neither of them could get any useful information, they both called it a day and led their teams away under the strange gazes of the students.

Before leaving, Philio and Sean looked at each other, smiled and nodded in greeting.

Putting aside the upcoming competition, he felt that these students from Miare College were quite interesting and capable, and they would be just right for training Ibrahimovic and Kog'Maw.

"Hey, your name is Firion, right? Alola! I'm Shashajin, if we meet in a competition, please give me your guidance!"

When passing by the team from Haruka Academy, the enthusiastic and generous little fat boy Shashajin waved and said hello.

He roughly knew about Firio's situation from his teammates and teachers.

He was very interested in this opponent who was not originally in his memory but was probably very strong.

"Alola! Shashakin, please give me your guidance!"

Although he was not a native of the place, he followed the local customs. Firion greeted the fat boy he met for the first time using the Alola region's greeting method. The two sides could be considered to have met each other by chance and got to know each other.

-----------------

Firion himself didn't care much about the battle.

Although on paper, the strength of these top students from various schools or foreign trainers who have been granted special travel permits may be similar to or even stronger than himself, but in terms of training level and tactical qualities, the gap is actually quite obvious.

If we really have to talk about good players that interest him, Shashajin who just greeted him is one, and Walter who seemed a little hostile for some reason and whom he had seen on TV is also one.

However, this is how he sees it, but it is not necessarily the case for Antoine and Aper.

As soon as he walked away, the two men who had been standing on both sides of Thornton to support him ruthlessly abandoned him and ran to Filio.

Naturally, Jaynes and his companions followed Philio's lead.

With the addition of Korni, the gym leader who was very young but respected and loved by all the Sala people, the small group of people who had gathered together suddenly became happy.

"I looked at the group stage. If I can make it to the round of 16, I will probably have to play against Miare's Kazama Hideki. It's so uncomfortable..."

Antoine sighed. As a grass-type expert, it was indeed very difficult for him to defeat Hideki Kazama.

When the strength is similar, attribute restraint is very important.

"I'm even worse off than you. Forget about 16 to 8. I did some calculations. If nothing goes wrong, I'll be in 32 to 16 and have to fight against the head of Aromatherapy Academy, Mirei. And then I'll have to face a specially approved trainer. That's how uncomfortable I'll be, okay?"

Apei was also dejected. For them, the grouping was indeed not very friendly.

"Filio, aren't you worried? I've seen your grouping, and the first round is relatively easy. Although I'm not completely sure, it's likely that you'll play against Kodi from Yingxue Academy in the second round, Doris from Miare Academy in the third round, and then Nanako, the foreign aid from Biyi. What an unlucky grouping!"

Ever since Philio saved a group of people's lives, Janes became a fan of Philio. The first moment he got the grouping sheet, he checked the ranking and background information, and he knew it better than Philio.

As soon as he saw the grouping of Filio, he became indignant.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter who you fight. It's just a matter of fighting early or late. But Jaynes, you and Dorothea should be careful. After all, your Roserade and Flamehawk haven't completed their breakthrough and qualitative change yet. If the opponent quickly develops a strong second and third Pokémon like Antoine and Appe, it will be easy for them to be passive, so you must be cautious."

Firio didn't take his grouping seriously, but instead gave instructions to the other two students.

Neither of them is particularly strong in the tournament, but that doesn't mean they can handle it casually.

Being able to go one more round is a great thing for their growth.

Even without considering the resume, this kind of experience alone is a valuable asset.

Standing in the huge battlefield and enjoying the warm cheers from the audience from all over Kalos and even other regions is a concentrated reflection of youth, dreams and honor for the specific parties involved.

There is only one winner in the end, but there are more than one individuals and groups who share the honor.

Watching Firio chatting with his classmates, Korni smiled gently, moved a little distance away, and stared at his profile.

-----------------

Nazi Villa, Sara City.

"Ms. Naz, do you want to end your vacation and return to Miare early? How do you plan to arrange your next trip?"

The agent who had stayed in Miare to prepare for the concert, after receiving instructions from Naz, immediately rushed to Sala and asked diligently.

Because of Naz's sudden inspiration of moving dance and the somehow more vital combination of song and dance, Carlos' tour was much better than expected, which made him overjoyed. His attention to Naz also went to a higher level, which could be said to be fulfilling his every request.

Naz is no longer the future superstar and potential stock that the company is striving to cultivate, she is the "present" of the company's development.

"I'm continuing my vacation. I'm just going to Miare for vacation. I want to go see the youth tournament in Carlos. Please help me arrange the tickets. Please."

Without Firio around, Miss Nazi returned to her usual cool style, her words and actions were polite yet distant.

-----------------

After looking at the groups, we decided to stay at the official hotel of Sara College.

"Filio? Where's Filio?"

Thornton, who originally wanted to hold a meeting to discuss the grouping situation and encourage the students, suddenly discovered that Philio, who had been the focus of the crowd not long ago, had disappeared again.

Lobe and Musa searched around but found nothing.

Finally, in the conference room, they learned what had happened from the students who were already seated and waiting.

"Teacher Thornton, Filio took Pogaman and Miss Korni out together. They seemed to be looking for dessert. They said they would train together after they were done and would be back in the evening."

Antoine said this in front of Thornton, who had a sullen face.

......

......

Meanwhile, not far outside the hotel.

"Um... You're not the one from Miare Academy... Sorry, I forgot your name. What do you mean by coming here and stopping us?"

Looking at Walter who was blocking his way with ill intentions, Filio frowned slightly, took a step sideways, stood in front of Corny, and asked.

"I'm Walter, Walter from Miare College. Filio, I'm here to say only one thing."

Walter was a little taller than Philio, probably nearly 1.9 meters tall. He was tall and straight, with strong arms, and his skin was a little dark from years of wind and sun. He was obviously a traveler for many years, and at least had rich travel experience.

Seeing Philio and Korni who seemed to be smiling behind him, and feeling that the two of them did not take him seriously, the arrogant Walter introduced himself with a cold face.

"Please go ahead. Pavilion Master Korni and I have some other things to do, so we may not be able to stay with you for long."

Firio nodded, his politeness revealing his refusal. It was their first meeting and he did not have a good impression of the person in front of him.
