This elf world is a bit strange

Firion groaned.

Because after you lose to Emperor Dan in the future, it is indeed possible that you will experience a scene somewhat similar to the one you are experiencing now, except that you will run away very quickly.

Thinking this in his heart, Filio smiled lightly: "Because this is a very normal psychological phenomenon. Maybe you need such an occasion to realize your own growth. You are still very young, younger than me, don't let yourself be so tired."

As he spoke, he moved his body and held the Dream Demon in his arms, with a few Poké Balls that were still gently trembling placed on his legs. His words were meant for Caidou as well as his friends.

"Victory, honor, are these things important? They are quite important. As long as you fight, you want to win. This is the competitive spirit of human beings. But they are not that important, at least not the only thing."

"Like, I may not be your opponent, but if I can fight you, regardless of winning or losing, I will be very happy, because you are a good opponent, and fighting you itself will make me happy, not to mention, my partners and I will also gain something from it."

"The Tradition Arena is your home and your future, but it is not your shackles. You are the genius of Galar Karate and the heir of this generation, but you are also a colorful bean. Your life is not only about the results, but also the scenery along the way. The latter is more important than the former."

“Everyone has his or her own life, whether ordinary or outstanding, everyone’s life is different, but don’t let your life only have goals and results, that would be too pale.”

"Perhaps, you are facing a 'rain' in your life. Then, Carlos, this small ruin may be a good place for you to 'hide from the rain'."

As he was talking, Firion suddenly shrugged and stopped talking: "No, no, this makes me seem a little nagging, as if I am already very old."

"puff"

Caidou, who had been listening quietly, suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Indeed... You look very old, especially when your hair is covered in dirt. But based on what you just said, do I regard it as a challenge? After we get out, I will seriously accompany you."

A sincere smile quietly bloomed on the pretty face that was always as cold as ice.

"......Eh?"

Firion was stunned for a moment, and his gentle smile froze.

Chapter 123: Hug in the Sun (1/2)

While the two people in the cave were communicating to relieve stress, rescue work was in full swing outside the landslide site.

Firio's judgment was exactly the same. Whether it was Caidou who was involved in the diplomatic incident or himself with complicated local relationships, it was impossible for the Carlos Alliance not to improve its efficiency.

Master Atli, Chairman of the Carlos Breeders Association, accompanied by Director Nils, went to the alliance headquarters to meet with the alliance chairman.

That night, Director Nils rushed to Haruka City and supervised the battle together with Pakira, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Alliance.

The old man sitting in the command center looked as if he wanted to keep strangers away, as if he wanted to see the person alive or the body dead.

A large group of people headed for Haruka and Route 7 from Miare and the Alliance Headquarters at a very high speed, and just as night fell, they had already arrived at the halfway point, and a steady stream of manpower and relief supplies also quickly rushed to the scene.

At the same time, relevant investigations into the serious dereliction of duty by the Geological Bureau were also launched directly on the spot.

From top to bottom, many officials were quickly controlled. On the contrary, Wijes' direct superior, Cubaton, was cleared of suspicion after a brief investigation. Although he must be punished for negligence, as the person who knew the situation in the ruins best, he was still sent to the rescue site to redeem himself.

This geological bureau official, who has always been impartial and clean from head to toe, is now turning regret into motivation, and fighting in the search and rescue together with his Brickalon and Dragon Head Ground Rat.

While the rescue is going on, the task of clearing out the remnants of the Flash Team is also progressing at full speed.

Pakira, who was from the Flare Team, set up a tight net in Haruka City and the entire western part of Kalos based on her understanding of the Flare Team's hidden tactics.

Inside and outside the city, it was a sleepless night with bright lights.

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

Heavy machinery is working on the outskirts of the collapse site, but due to the complex topography and extremely unstable terrain conditions, they can only operate on the outskirts. The signal source area that really needs to be excavated has only manpower and a small amount of light equipment, and progress is slow.

Dozens of veteran members of the Kalos Rescue Team and gym trainers of the Rock Gym are digging hard with their own Pokémon.

Two dusty figures stood side by side.

"Nazi, even though I don't like you, I'm a little surprised that you can come so early this time. As for other matters, we can talk about them after rescuing Firion."

Korne, whose blonde hair was dirty with dirt and dust, spoke slowly. Lucario, who had been working for half the night, stood quietly beside her.

"That's what I was thinking. Cooperate with me and I'll use my super powers to clear the way."

Nancy's voice was cold, but she took the lead.

After receiving the news, she rushed to the rescue site without delay on a special plane as soon as she got off the plane.

"You should cooperate with me. You psychics can only do some tricks in the back. Lucario, let's go."

Korni showed no sign of weakness and quickly caught up.

The two men, unable to bear the slow progress at the moment, ignored their fatigue and rushed directly to the collapsed site to replace the exhausted Chaklo.

"Cornie...I..."

When he saw Korni, Chaklo, who was rescuing her with injuries, lowered his head in guilt.

"Even if it wasn't Firion, there would be someone else trapped here. That guy is lucky, so he's fine. Go and rest, and continue in the morning. And treat your wound while you're at it."

Korni didn't say much, just strode forward.

"Super strength! Master Itachi! Do it!"

The two extremely powerful Pokémon immediately began to move the items.

"Alakazam, Sol Eevee, and Coconut Tree, cooperate with me. Tapir, Wall Doll, and Slowking, be ready to take over at any time."

The super power, like a raging sea, was integrated into one by Nancy's unimaginable attainments and fell on the collapsed rocks all over the ground.

The several Fighting-type Pokémon that were carrying the items felt as if the weight in their hands had become lighter, and their movements became more agile.

Although there were only two people, with the help of super powers and the unremitting efforts of several powerful Pokémon, the progress was no slower than that of the entire Rock Gym, and the excavation work began immediately.

Although the two were always hostile to each other due to emotional issues, they were highly consistent in their stance on saving Firion and collaborated for the first time in the action.

Moreover, the effect of the cooperation is very significant.

Although neither side is willing to admit it, the two complementary people are indeed 1+1 far greater than 2.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

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

On the morning of July 7, Haruka Branch, interrogation room.

"You guys should know my style, and you should also know that I know you are not telling the truth. So why don't you be honest? No one will save you, you all know that, or do any of you want to experience the feeling of having a leg burned off by fire?"

Pakira smiled brightly while wearing big sunglasses, but the words she said made the remaining members of Team Flare shudder.

Next to the few people, a super-powered cat had a dangerous light flashing in its eyes.

Before they knew it, the brains of several members of Team Flash started to get stuck and fuzzy, and their memories became a little confused.

......

......

After several days of large-scale manhunt, relying on his in-depth understanding of the Flash Team's behavior, Pakila personally led the team and dug out a hidden Flash Team intelligence hideout in the downtown area.

Three of the remnants of the Flare Team who were covering Vijes' evacuation that day were killed in the resistance, and the rest were all captured. Only Vijes himself, who had evacuated in advance, was missing.

However, after a round of interrogation, the police did not produce any effective results.

The furious Pachira decided to take action himself. Gejihua also came from Baike to help and brought a special investigation order issued by the headquarters.

After extracting one person's memory and turning him into an idiot, the remaining members of the Flare Team immediately spilled the beans, telling everything they knew.

As a large intelligence base directly under the management of the highest-ranking officer Akemi, Haruka's base has a lot of internal intelligence about the Sparkling Team, but most of it is about the western region of Kalos and does not involve too many truly important secrets.

The only thing that is certain is that the missing Vijes was a high-level undercover agent who had been sent into the alliance by the Flare Team a long time ago. He was numbered 9 and codenamed Earth Dragon, and had been lurking in the Geological Bureau for more than four years.

The action plan formulated early on by the remnants of the Flare Team was to obtain intelligence through the earth dragons and delay the progress of the investigation. The purpose was to obtain certain mysterious minerals from the connected underground caves.

But at the critical stage of execution, Acobi personally ordered a particularly large-scale "destruction plan" targeting Filio who was involved in the investigation. For this purpose, almost all the explosives and related material reserves in this stronghold were mobilized, which showed that he hated Filio to the core.

"whispering sound......"

Outside the interrogation room, Pakila lit a cigarette angrily.

Such an outcome made her dereliction of duty a few months earlier and the massive jailbreak that occurred shortly thereafter seem even more serious.

Especially after Damir, a senior member of the Flare Team nicknamed "Eagle", returned and injured several people in Haruka's gym.

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

At the same time, search and rescue scene.

The excavation work has made great progress. A pit of several dozen meters in size is now fixed with steel bars and wood.

"Gui Li, cooperate with me, let's pull it out together!"

"Macha!"

In front of a big rock, Korni, with her fingers wrapped in bandages, used her extraordinary strength to pull it out.

"Alakazam, help me with your spiritual power."

As soon as I relaxed, Nazi's voice followed.

The super power wrapped around the rock and slowly rose into the air until it was outside the pit.

The long black hair that flowed like a waterfall had become a little messy at this time.

Spots of blood seeped out of the bandages, and due to the intense physical labor, wounds of all sizes were everywhere.

Korni and Naz, who had hardly any rest, were exhausted both physically and mentally, but they still fought on the front line.

The same goes for Chaklo, Onix and Rhydon almost never sleep, and Ogre and Ice Dragon are also responsible for the transportation work with their powerful strength.

"Everyone, take a break. Fighting like this is not a good idea. The life detector has detected fluctuations below. We will definitely be able to rescue them. We will help you share some of the burden."

The captain of the search and rescue team couldn't bear to see this, so he walked forward, handed over a few bottles of water, and tried to persuade them.

As a professional, he finds it difficult to sustain such high-intensity work.

"No need, let's do it for a while."

Korni took the bottle of water and frowned slightly.

The pain in my fingertips is becoming more and more obvious. It seems that I need to apply some medicine and bandage it tighter.

"Little Korni, you really should take a rest. And you, little Nancy, you are both too tired. This is not good. I'm afraid it won't be very pleasant to see you like this after Firion is rescued."

A friendly voice came from behind.

"Senior Ge Jihua? You're here too?"

Korni turned around in surprise and saw the older sister with a gentle smile.

"Of course. My lovely junior has trapped Team Flare. How can I not come and take a look? Leave this to me. You guys go and take a rest. And Chaklo, I know you have good ears. Go and take a rest in the back."

With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen powerful Pokémon rushed forward and knocked down Korne and the other two.

In the distance, a member of the search and rescue team who was working said to the person next to him with envy:

"The identities of the people below are really extraordinary. Another gym leader, and there are three already. And there's Miss Nancy, the gym leader of Kanto."

"You can't envy this, Brian. Didn't you hear what the captain said? The big shots at the alliance headquarters are all watching the results at the back. Come over and give me a hand!"

Another search and rescue team member responded and waved.

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

Below the excavation site, in the collapsed cave.

The cracks on the top gradually expanded one after another.

Many tools of all sizes were placed on top, and the Dream Demon's superpowers reinforced it from time to time, so it was relatively stable for the time being.

Below, the air was still turbid and a lot of oxygen cylinders had been used up, but Firio and Caidou were both in pretty good physical and mental condition.

A confined environment always greatly increases people's desire to express themselves. After spending three days and nights together, they almost became close friends who could talk about anything.

Taking this opportunity, Caidou confessed all the pain she had experienced from the devilish training and elite education since childhood, clearing away the burden in her heart.

Although her face was a little pale at this moment, she looked relaxed and her eyes were gentle, which was quite different from when she first met her at the dessert competition.

Leaning against the slightly shaking rock wall, she whispered, "I've talked so much about myself these past two days. Why don't you talk about your experiences? This isn't really fair."

Having stepped out of her obsessive pursuit of victory and honor, she has regained some of her girlish liveliness and playfulness.

"My experience? My story is not as exciting as yours. In fact, just a few months ago, I hardly left my hometown in Sala. What do you want to hear?"

Hearing her asking about himself, Firio raised his head and looked at the little dream demon that was still flying in the air full of energy.

"Maggie? Maggie!"

Feeling Firio's gaze, the little dream demon fell down with a "ba" sound and sat on his shoulder.
