This elf world is a bit strange

"Da da da……"

Just as it was about to drive away the loser, the sound of dense footsteps came from the deep cave.

"Weiss?!"

The nervous queen bee subconsciously took an offensive stance.

"Link—"

To Filio's surprise, the bear couple, who were already completely exhausted, struggled to get up while roaring, and used their bodies to block the entrance to the cave.

“…I see.”

Philio's expression was a little complicated. His superpowers had already "seen" the person coming into the cave in advance, and he instantly understood the root cause of the conflict.

......

......

"Weiss..."

The queen bee raised her arms and stretched them out to both sides, blocking the three bees that wanted to attack again. Her eyes were fixed on the cave entrance, passing the circle bear couple standing side by side.

There, two light brown bear cubs squeezed out from their parents and looked outside with innocent doubt.

There are still dots of honey on the corners of their mouths.

"…Weiss!"

After a long silence, the queen bee stretched out her arm and pointed to the north.

That is the edge of the forest, and also the direction where the loser will leave.

"Link..."

The bear couple, who were already at the end of their strength, looked at Firion and the Queen Bee bitterly, gently stroked the heads of their two young children, and accepted the verdict from their opponents with a heavy heart.

Using their claws to support themselves on the ground, they were trying to force themselves to stand up again.

However, his severely injured body could hardly support himself, and he fell down every time he tried.

"Madge!"

The little dream demon couldn't bear it and gently pulled Firio's hair.

Philio nodded, stretched out his hand to comfort his partner, then walked forward and said loudly:

"Queen Bee, and Circle Bear, I have a proposal. I wonder if you are willing to wait for me for a moment?"

As he spoke, he squatted down, his extremely friendly superpower spread to the distance, and he waved at the confused baby bear.

"Neka?"

With some confusion, the baby bears, whose little fingers were still in their mouths, all tilted their heads and looked at Filio curiously.

After a while, feeling some warm breath, the two little guys ran out at the same time, breaking away from the protection of their parents and coming to Philio's side.

"Yeah, they're all very good little guys."

Stroking the tops of the heads of the two little bears with one hand each, Firio praised them and used his superpowers to verify his previous conjecture again.

The two little guys in front of me are only three or four months old, but they are quite strong. In addition to honey, you can also smell the faint fragrance of pomelo and lychee fruit on their bodies.

As expected, the two bears, who have long passed the age where they need honey for nutrition, have been frequently snatching honey not to satisfy their own appetites, but to provide more nutritious food for their two newborn children.

Moreover, they are not only in conflict with the three honey bee populations. In order to find rare tree fruits like lychee, they must have also put a lot of effort in other areas.

Pity the parents of the world.

He took out a small half box of energy cubes and placed them in front of the shining little creatures in front of him. Looking at them drooling and being humble, Firion gently brushed off the dust on his body, stood up, and looked at the queen bee who was waiting for his next words and the bear couple who were anxious and pleading.

After leaving the two big guys alone for a while, until he felt they were cooked to the right degree, Firion nodded with satisfaction and walked to the side of the queen bee.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. If I'm not mistaken, Circle Bear, you two don't need to eat much honey anymore. The honey you stole should be for these two baby bears, right?"

Patting Queen Bee's shoulder gently, he took out two bottles of medicine and threw them to Circle Bear and asked softly.

"Link."

The mother of Circle Bear nodded in agreement, picked up the bottle of medicine without any instruction, and sprayed it on her body.

The movements were skillful, and it was obvious that he had been taught by a ranger or had been rescued by a ranger.

Firio smiled and said, "Yes, that's right. So from this perspective, there are no contradictions or conflicts between you two that cannot be resolved."

"…Weiss?"

The queen bee's eyes were filled with inextricable doubts.

The instinctive memory of its race made it unable to understand why it was able to resolve the conflict with the Circle Bear, one of its two natural enemies.

"Queen Bee, my biggest feeling during this journey is that your territory is too small. Three bees can reach the end in a short time. Even if you use all the space, you can only collect so much nectar, right?"

Firion knew that his views might have some impact on wild Pokémon, so he was not in a hurry, but spoke slowly.

"Wes!"

The queen bee, who knew her own business, nodded.

Firio was right. Although his territory was peaceful, the space had indeed been utilized to the extreme and there was not much room for development.

This is also one of the reasons why it wants to expel the Circle Bear couple.

They are already in a relatively peripheral position in the forest and have few directions to choose from.

The Kairos and Cannon Beetles in the inner layer are much stronger than their own group, so it is not realistic to expand inwards. Only this area that is close at hand has a chance.

"However, Queen Bee, you may also be facing another problem: age."

Looking at the Queen Bee who was still confused but had started to think, Firion nodded with satisfaction. This was a good start.

As he spoke, he pointed to a three-bee next to him and said in a deep voice: "If my guess is correct, this three-bee should be your designated successor. However, given its qualifications and age, it will take at least a few years to reach your level."

"Weiss..."

The Queen Bee followed Firio's finger and looked at the strongest female bee hovering in front of the other guards, and nodded.

For a company that is about to enter old age, finding a suitable successor is of utmost importance.

"So, Queen Bee, maybe what I said might be a little blunt, but do you think, given your current situation, that if you drive the Circle Bears away, you will be able to take over their territory?"

Firio, who was in an awkward position, stood in front of the Queen Bee, turned his back to block the two bears, and asked considerately in a voice that only they could hear.

"Wes."

The queen bee shook her head with a struggling look on her face.

Only family members know their own business, but it and its ethnic group really cannot do that.

"That's what I think. If they leave, this place will either be leaderless and fall into chaos, and you will eat up a small piece of territory, or it will usher in powerful Pokémon from other places, bringing new risks to you and your tribe."

Firio gently spread his hands, tilted his head diagonally backward, and added meaningfully.

"But if you let them go, maybe you can get something else."

"Weiss?"

Seeing the Queen Bee's confused look, Firion secretly sighed at the innocence and straightforwardness of wild Pokémon, pulled it away, and told her his thoughts:

"All they want is the honey for the two bear cubs, and at most they'll keep some for themselves. Apart from that, they don't even have the idea of ​​managing their own territory."

"When I got here, I found that this forest area is completely different from your territory. There is no order, and there are not many Pokémon, but the environment is actually not bad."

"Then why don't you cooperate with them and get two strong bodyguards who have no ambitions and just want to make a living?"

"Let them patrol for you. The three bees will expand their honey-gathering range to the territories of your two families. Leave a small portion for them and bring more back to the nest. If all goes well, it won't take long for your tribe to recover to its peak and then grow stronger."

Pointing to the forest in the distance that looked messy and desolate due to lack of care, Firio painted a rosy picture for the Queen Bee.

"Weiss..."

Her bright eyes gaze upon the scattered flowers and bushes, while a fierce struggle is taking place in the queen bee's heart.

Racial conflict, hostility imprinted in its genes, the immediate benefits, and the possible risks of letting the two bears go made it hesitant.

With her hands crossed in front of her, the queen bee's face was full of embarrassment.

"boom--"

Just as it was struggling, a loud explosion was heard in the distance.

"Zi La"

The sound of the electric current was like a sharp blade, almost piercing the eardrum.

"Wes!"

The familiar yet slightly frightening explosion pulled the queen bee out of her tangle.

That's the direction of its territory.

The electric current rushing into the sky was undoubtedly the work of that group of warlike cannon bugs.

Without caring about the bright future that Firio had outlined, the Queen Bee cried out and called out to the three bee guards who were on guard.

One after another, afterimages broke through the air, and the eyes of each of the three bees were filled with anxiety and panic.

"Wes!"

Looking anxiously at Firion, the Queen Bee leaned down and asked him for help.

"I understand. Don't worry, I'll be there. You guys go first, I'll be there later."

Squinting his eyes slightly and staring at the deep and dense forest which was still empty, Firio quickly made a decision.

After exchanging a glance with the queen bee and watching her fly away at high speed, Firio turned around and instead of moving forward, he retreated towards the bear's nest on his roller skates.

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

The grass and trees were charred, the fire was raging, and the ground was in ruins.

The cave, which had been used as a nest by the queen bee for a long time, had now collapsed in half. Dozens of bees and a small number of shovel-cannon beetles and insect-powered beetles were lying on the ground in a mess.

Fierce fighting was spreading throughout the forest.

This time it is no longer a battle between Shovelbugs and Kairos, but an active attack by the Shovelbug colony in order to expand.

The wild Pokémon taking shelter under the Queen Bee rose up in resistance, fighting endlessly with the massive swarm of insects. For a while, except for the main battlefield near the nest which was in a passive position, it was difficult to tell the winner in other places.

When Firion finally arrived, the Queen Bee had a deep wound on her abdomen and had lost most of her breath. She was barely able to survive under the protection of a large number of bees.

On the opposite side, in addition to the shovel-shaped cannon bugs that are so powerful that they can be called the "demolition team" of the forest, there is also an uninvited guest.

A shield-sword monster whose strength is not much weaker than the leading shovel-cutter cannon bug.

The wound on the queen bee's abdomen was caused by it.

"Weiss...Weiss!"

Seeing that Philio arrived as promised, the Queen Bee was pleased and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Kuwa!"

Sensing the arrival of Firion and the Nightmare, the leader of the Shovel Cannon Bug flapped his wings threateningly and warningly.

The dream demon in front of him was quite powerful, but just quite powerful. He looked a little ignorant and probably not very strong.

If they start to attack, kill them all at once!

As the shovel beetle thought of this, its jaws opened and closed.

Each insect power-up releases electrical energy, making its already impressive strength even more powerful.

"Ah......"

His playful eyes seemed to see through it at a glance, and the diffuse super power enveloped the entire world.

The murderous aura that rushed towards Firion was like a wave crashing against a cliff, and it ended up breaking itself into pieces.
