This elf world is a bit strange

Xiu Ya frowned slightly, and Milia took the notebook doubtfully.

She also had no idea what her beloved disciple was up to.

"This...Isn't this the medicine from Team Flare?!"

After flipping through one or two pages, her lazy eyes suddenly widened. As a newly-promoted senior breeder who had recently gained fame, Millia naturally also participated in the drug research jointly launched by the Alliance and the Breeders Association. Looking at Philio's analysis, she couldn't help but be shocked.

This is completely different from their current direction and is basically entering a new field.

"Uncontrollable enhancement. During the enhancement process, drugs are added that cause Pokémon to fall into an irrational state..."

With her cheek in her hand, Millia fell into deep thought. Her knowledge as a breeder told her that this was possible in theory, but impossible in practice.

Seeing her confusion, Korni opened the small box containing the battle cubes, took out a piece and handed it to her.

"Teacher Milia, Firio said that this thing might answer your questions. This is a special energy block he made himself, with dragon fire fruit and lily fruit as the main materials. He named it the battle block."

"Dragon Fire Fruit and Litchi Fruit?!"

Milia snatched the energy cube and immediately cut off a small corner and put it into her mouth without being polite.

The confusion on his face quickly turned into shock and ecstasy.

"This kind of thing...actually works!"

Feeling the complex taste and explosive energy from the dragon fire fruit, Millia seemed to see a smooth road.

But then, Korni's words poured cold water on her.

"Although this can be made, the production method may only be mastered by Firion. Even for him, with his superpowers, the success rate is less than 10%."

Korni shook her head, closed the lid of the small box, put it on the table, looked at Milia with a serious expression and tone.

"Moreover, his goal is not to mass-produce this kind of battle cube, but he hopes that you can work with him through your own research to find the connection between the two, so as to find a way to crack it. In addition, only the three of us know about the battle cube, so he hopes that you can keep it a secret for the time being."

"...Is that so." Milia nodded thoughtfully and smiled, "It seems that he really trusts you unconditionally, Korni. Don't worry, as a teacher, I must help him get things done beautifully. Just leave it to me."

"Then I'll leave it to you. This is the codeword that Firio left behind. He suspected that Team Flare still had similar eavesdropping technology as they did back then, so he designed a simple codeword for communication."

Facing Millia's teasing eyes, Korni's cheeks blushed slightly but she did not explain. She just took out another small note and stuffed it into the other person's hand.

Then, she stood up hurriedly, leaving only a sentence "Then I'll take my leave first" and ran away.

"This child, even though she's already a gym leader, still has the temperament of a little girl. Firion is such a lucky kid."

Looking at the receding figure, Millia smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, casually pressed down the fat guy's wind ball who was eager to try, turned around and said.

"Let's go, Fengqiu, we have to be busy now. We have to work for that brat Filio!"

"Laiduo~!"

The roar of machines echoed in the exquisite residence.

Chapter 137 Inspiration (1/2)

The central and southern parts of the Kalos region are a large area of ​​undeveloped fertile land, accounting for about a quarter of the entire continent.

A towering mountain stands in the southern part of the continent, steep and majestic, reaching into the sky.

However, such huge mountains have not formed a continuous mountain range.

On the east and west sides of the mountain are dense jungles and numerous rivers.

As a result of the division, the terrain has become diverse.

The vast natural space, with sufficient water sources, breeds countless lives.

A huge nature reserve encompasses the entire area, preserving the most authentic natural features in the highly modernized Kalos continent.

For many years, this place has been a treasure land dreamed of by countless travelers and explorers.

The rare fruits and various precious natural resources are enough to allow some trainers who come from ordinary backgrounds but are hardworking and lucky enough to make further progress.

But the complex terrain and powerful wild Pokémon lead to a high rate of accidents.

Even for trainers who are prone to dangerous situations, the probability of failure or even death here is too high, so high that most people who are interested will stay away from it.

In addition to the constraints of nature, a small number of poachers from various regions often appear here, adding a bit of danger.

Fortunately, thanks to the hard work of rangers and alliance officials, most of them have disappeared in recent years, and the precious land and fertile soil have become the burial place of many lawless elements.

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

Firion, who walked out of one end of the Shining Cave, is now following a gentle river from northwest to southeast, entering the boundless primeval forest and embarking on a new journey.

At his feet was Xinlinbao, who had finally escaped from the dim environment and experienced the beauty of nature for the first time.

The time flowing like a stream and the beautiful scenery around it diluted the little dinosaur's sadness of separation from his playmates.

Flowers, flowing water, wild fruits, and Pokémon of all sizes that appear from time to time all attract its attention and arouse the little guy's strong curiosity.

The little dream demon lay on top of Firion's head, his eyes lazy yet sharp.

The powerful aura that was faintly revealed frightened all wild Pokémon that might have bad intentions, making them dare not act rashly.

Its existence is also Firion's greatest confidence in entering this desolate land alone.

As we move along the river, the concept of "road" gradually disappears.

There are only a few walking paths in the dense jungle, and sometimes Pogaman has to cut through the thorns to get through smoothly.

"Jera!"

Everything seemed new to Xinlinbao, who ran around, sometimes picking a small flower, sometimes holding half a vine in his mouth, having a lot of fun.

"Run slower, Heartscale, don't get too far away from us!"

Following behind is Firio who is giving earnest advice.

However, even though he shouted frequently, he actually didn't take it too seriously.

The superpowers that have grown bit by bit since the beginning have already covered the space of hundreds of meters around him, and no movement can escape his perception.

Heartscale's desire to play and explore is a common trait of all young Pokémon and is also the nature of children. Firion, who is well aware of this, has no intention of stopping it. Instead, he is thinking about how to make better use of this nature and transform curiosity and thirst for knowledge into nutrients for growth.

"Jera? Jera Jera!"

With a "rustle", he pushed aside the obstructing bushes and grass leaves, and his nimble and strong little body slipped through them. Xinlinbao stood in front of a small tree, tilted his little head, and looked at the fruits on the tree.

The tempting red fruits seem to have some special attraction to the little guy.

Instinct told it that this was a good thing that would be good for it!

It was a little anxious as it couldn't reach the fruits after jumping around so much. It turned around quickly and called out to Firio and other friends.

"Elu~!"

The wind fairy, who also liked to play around and was therefore very close, came first with the wind.

It recognized the berry and durian fruit at a glance, and its eyes rolled, and a plan came to mind.

"EluElu~"

The wind fairy lightly picked up the Heart Scale Treasure, which was heavier than himself, and created a tailwind, soaring into the air, and carried it to the side of the fullest berry fruit.

"Swish"

The leaves chopped it off the tree.

"Jera!"

The impatient Xinlinbao pounced forward, hugged it tightly, and couldn't let it go.

"Jera-Jera!"

Before devouring the meal, it politely thanked the Wind Fairy, not noticing the amusement and mockery in the eyes of this big sister with a bad taste.

"Ahhh (￣～￣)"

"Jera (?﹏?)"

After taking a bite, the strong bitter taste was too much for Heart Scale Baby to resist. He wanted to spit it out directly, but when he thought of what Firio had said before that it should not be wasted, he had to force himself to swallow it, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes.

This was the first time for it, having grown up in a honey pot, to eat something so disgusting.

"What's wrong, Heartscale?"

At this time, Firio at the back pushed aside the branches and walked closer.

As soon as he saw the smug look on the Wind Fairy's face after his plan succeeded and the berry and pomegranate fruit in front of Heart Scale Treasure, he instantly understood the whole story.

Firion poked the little head of the wind fairy unhappily and said, "You little brat, you only know how to bully Heart Scale Treasure who can't recognize all the fruits. I punish you to eat all the fruits! Okay, Heart Scale Treasure, don't cry. I will teach the evil wind fairy a lesson and give you something good to eat later. How about that?"

"Elu?!——"

"Jera? Jera!"

The reactions of the two, one big and one small, instantly turned into two different worlds of ice and fire.

The bitter-faced little lamb wrinkled up into a ball, ate the bitter fruits bite by bite with gritted teeth, and let out exaggerated screams from time to time, but received no comfort or sympathy from Firion. Instead, he attracted the ruthless ridicule of the little Dream Demon and the little Eevee and the disgusted look of the Big Mouth.

As for Heartscale, after learning a lesson, it lay obediently in Firio's arms and listened to him talk about the knowledge of tree fruits.

The originally boring knowledge becomes interesting after experiencing bad experiences personally.

With one hand, he picked about half of the fruits from the tree and put them into his backpack. With the other hand, he held the curious and fearful little fellow and patiently explained:

"The fruit of this tree, the berry fruit, is very helpful for your growth, but it doesn't taste very good. It tastes very bitter and astringent when you take a bite, right?"

"Jera!"

The little dinosaur nodded seriously, and now he still felt a little uncomfortable on the tip of his tongue.

"However, this fruit has another name, 'bitterness ends sweetness', which means that at the end of the bitterness, there is actually a very soft sweetness."

Holding a berry pomegranate and showing it up and down in front of Heartscale Baby, Firio began to persuade him in a gentle tone.

"Jera?"

Heart Scale Baby tilted his head and was very confused. In his simple understanding, bitter and sweet are completely different tastes, one is good and the other is bad.

However, it seems that after the bitterness has reached its limit, there is indeed a little sweetness lingering on the tip of the tongue.

"However, it is not sweet and delicious at the beginning. If you just eat it directly, you will feel very bitter, and then a little sweet. But if you boil it in hot water for a long time, after about an hour or two, this very crisp tree fruit will become soft, and the bitterness will be boiled away, leaving only a very soft sweet taste. How about trying some at noon?"

Looking at Heartscale's eyes gradually showing little stars of expectation, Firio suggested with a smile.

"Jera! Jera Jera!"

A little saliva was already visible at the corners of Xinlinbao's mouth, and he nodded like a chick pecking at rice. Compared to the "aftertaste of sweetness", he still preferred to eat sweet things directly.

"Then it's settled! We won't let the evil wind fairy eat the fruits, but how about everyone taking one of the other fruit?"

Nodding with satisfaction, Firio stopped and spoke to his companions behind him.

Before he finished speaking, there was an immediate burst of cheers. The sound of "Buyi" echoed endlessly, drowning out the miserable complaints and protests of the wind fairy.

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

Next to the clear stream, a huge iron pot was set up, and the dry firewood underneath ignited a raging fire that burned particularly vigorously.

The clear water in the pot was dyed light red. Eight huge berry durian fruits were half floating on the water, exuding an enticing aroma.

"Qido!"

"Jera!"

"Madge!"

The original gluttonous duo now has a new member, Heart Scale Treasure. They stand together beside the big pot with eager eyes, greedily sniffing the aroma of the food.

Sun Eevee and Pogamon went in and out of the woods, looking for other delicious fruits to accompany the meal. They gained quite a lot, and soon they piled up a small hill.

"Elu~!"

The wind fairy, with a flattering smile on her face, stood attentively beside Firio, chopping with her leaves to help him cut the ingredients for lunch. Her soft body rubbed against Firio's arm from time to time, making her look well-behaved and sensible.

"It's no use trying to please me!"

While preparing lunch, Firio was thinking about the properties of the berry fruit, and dealing with the wind fairy whose thoughts were obvious at a glance in a disjointed manner.

He had been thinking about how to design an excellent Dragon Energy Cube recipe for Heartscale Pokémon, but as the most powerful attribute, Dragon Energy Cubes have always been the most difficult to make.

The unstable energy properties of berries and durian are a difficulty that all formulas need to face.

"Elu..."
