This elf world is a bit strange

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

"Elu~Elu~"

"Madge?"

The little dream fairy and the wind fairy, feeling refreshed after soaking in the hot spring, took the lead and walked to the end of the cave.

In the passage on the other side, boiling hot water flowed down the slope, which also aroused the curiosity of Firio and the little ones.

They all wanted to know how this cave was formed and where the hot spring came from.

Following the direction of the water flow all the way inward, the steaming heat waves seemed to confirm that this was the real summer. We walked for hundreds or even thousands of meters before we saw the end of the rock wall.

On the rock wall, in the spider-web-like cracks, a gap released most of the pressure.

The surging boiling hot water flows out from it, cooling down as it flows, until it reaches the gap in the natural cave outside, forming the hot spring we see today.

The accidents and coincidences of nature have jointly created this natural hot spring that no one knew about in the past, and no one will probably come to visit in the future, and no one even knows how long it can last.

"Jera? Jera!!!!!"

Heart Scale Baby curiously stretched out his little paws, wanting to touch the hot water, but as soon as he touched it, he pulled his paws back as if he had been electrocuted, and jumped around in pain, tears welling up in his eyes.

"The water here is very hot, even hotter than the hot water in Pogaman. You'll know this later, right? If you encounter extremely hot water, you can't get close to it so carelessly."

Firio, who was observing the structure of the rock wall near the crack, turned around with a mixture of anger and amusement, picked up the lying Heartscale, rubbed its slightly red little paws, and blew on them.

"Jera..."

The curious baby learned his lesson and lowered his head obediently.

"Madge!"

Just as he was about to say a few more words, the little dream demon's shouting caught Firion's attention.

He looked up and found that the other person was pointing at the rock wall he had been looking at.

I saw cracks all over the hard rock, but they didn't seem to be the result of pressure. Instead, they formed some strange patterns with a wild and unrestrained style, as if they were depicting something.

However, due to the erosion of time, these lines have long been blurred and most of them should have been destroyed. Based on the information in front of him, it is difficult for Filio to judge what it is based on his own knowledge.

Faint energy fluctuations emanated from the lines, weak but pure.

"Buy!"

The Sun Eevee's long tail hit the place where the lines were most dense, and it was confident that there must be something inside.

Hearing this, Big Mouth Waiter walked forward excitedly, swung his big jaw, and was about to smash it open to see what was inside.

"Wait for me a moment, Big Mouth, don't be impatient."

Just as he was about to make a move, Firio's large hand clamped on the already brewing jaws of the Iron Head and lifted it up.

"Click"

The phone's camera emitted a faint light, capturing the texture.

"click click"

Next, there are strange patterns all over the walls.

When the task was completed, Filho put the phone back into his coat pocket with satisfaction, pointed to the spot just now, and said, "Now we can start, let's see what good stuff is inside."

"Qido~!"

"boom--"

A powerful blow hit the cave wall, and the earth shook in an instant.

The rubble rolled down, and even the gushing water was delayed for a moment.

“Kaala…”

Amidst the intensive sounds of shattering and falling, the original texture disappeared, replaced by a hole of moderate size.

Two pale pink scales come into view.

A faint and refreshing fragrance, like a thread, entered the nostrils of Firio and his companions.

"So it's deep sea scales. No wonder the hot springs here are so good. They contain many substances that are beneficial to both humans and Pokémon. I heard there's a very famous hot spring in Alola that uses this as a selling point."

He took out two scales that were still a little hot, wrapped his superpowers around them, and wanted to find out what was going on.

It is really surprising that such a treasure can be found in the heart of the continent far away from the ocean.

"...Good fellow."

After a little trial, Firion took a deep breath.

Compared to the deep-sea scales he had seen in the Friendship Store, these two scales that had been sealed here for who knows how many years seemed to have become completely different things.

Deep lines crisscross on it, and the massive boiling lava behind it, separated only by a layer of rock wall, has given them a very unique energy composition through countless years of immersion.

"It seems that this Grand Peak was probably an underwater volcano countless years ago. With the movement of the plates, it has formed its current shape. It is true that fortune goes hand in hand with disaster, and disaster goes hand in hand with fortune. Such a good thing just got to us for free."

Holding two deep-sea scales that carry a profound history and ancient atmosphere, Firio felt quite emotional and delighted.

Such a treasure has been buried in the ancient seabed for who knows how many years until today, and was only unearthed by lava activity in the mountains.

If it weren't for today's coincidence, it would probably still be dormant inside the mountain, or completely buried with the falling ice and snow, becoming one of the countless rare natural resources that are completely unknown to the world.

However, meeting me doesn't mean it is a waste of time.

Thinking of this, Firio picked up the two scales separately, held them in front of his eyes to examine them carefully, then turned his gaze to the little guys gathered in a group.

The little dream demon and the big mouth baby didn’t care much. They preferred offense rather than defense and were not very interested in such resources.

The Sun Eevee just took a glance, then ran to Firion's side and lay down quietly. It didn't care much. With plenty of spiritual herbs and spirit seeds, it didn't have any urgent needs.

The wind fairy sniffed the pleasant aroma, then ran over to the small group of the dream fairy and the big-mouthed baby, and started chattering.

Pogaman blinked, winked at Firion, and looked at the still confused Heartscale Baby intentionally or unintentionally.

The baby dragon took a few steps back without leaving a trace.

Although it felt it was not qualified to participate in the distribution and was very interested, it still leaned close to Pogamon.

Firion saw all the little movements of the baby dragon.

With a turn of his eyes, he had an idea.

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

"Jera~Jera~!"

Wearing the small necklace made of deep-sea scales, although he didn't know what use this thing would have on him, Heart Scale Baby was still dancing with joy as it was receiving a gift for the first time.

"Bagong..."

Holding the scales hanging down to his chest, the baby dragon felt a little embarrassed.

It has a strong sense of self-esteem and is not willing to accept favors from others, especially after having been cared for time and time again.

"It's thanks to both of you that we're able to get here. It's fair that we get to share the spoils equally." Seeing its slight concern, Firion smiled, squatted down, and touched its head. "Also, items like the Deep Sea Scales can make your bodies stronger and better able to resist energy attacks. You can use them."

"Bagon."

The baby dragon nodded seriously, took note of Firion's words, and secretly thought about how he could repay him a little.

While thinking hard, his little face wrinkled up, as if he had turned into a little old man out of thin air.

"Okay, don't worry about it. All good props need to be used appropriately so that they won't be buried or wasted. Let's go, we are here too... Eh? Oops!"

Firion couldn't help laughing as he leaned over, put his arms around the baby dragon's waist and tried to pick it up.

But as luck would have it, the test tube that I had put away last night and forgot to store separately this morning slipped out quietly when I bent over.

"pat"

The tough tube hit the ground, rolled down the slope, and went straight into the boiling water.

"Buy!"

The quick-eyed and quick-handed Sun Eevee rushed forward quickly, and his super power spread, temporarily blocking the water flow and fishing out the test tube again.

"Phew...well done, little Eevee."

With a sigh of relief, Firio took the test tube and carefully examined the semi-finished product.

The high-precision test tubes specially made by the University of Miami are well sealed and of high quality, so nothing will happen even if they fall to the ground.

However, looking at the liquid in the test tube, Philio always felt something was wrong.

The color seems to have changed a bit.

With doubts, Firio unscrewed the lid, used his superpowers to probe inside, and examined it carefully.

As expected, compared to the final record last night, the Flare Team's crazy potion that was integrated with the antidote seemed to be less violent.

"Hmm..." Filio raised the test tube in thought, turned on the flashlight on his phone with his other hand, and looked at it carefully, "What color was it last night..."

He was still a little unsure, after all, the light was dim last night, but his intuition and vague memory told him that it seemed different.

"Bagon!"

Just as Firio was struggling, the baby dragon saw the problem, jumped up, bumped it lightly, and snatched the test tube.

It raised its neck suddenly and swallowed the medicine and antidote in the test tube in one gulp.

"Hey, don't!... You don't test drugs on yourself!"

Firio, horrified, snatched back the test tube and threw it aside. He put his hands on the baby dragon's head, opened its eyes, and examined it carefully.

Incubus and Solevil also stood on the left and right as if facing a formidable enemy, ready to attack.

Having witnessed Pokémon being controlled by crazy potions, they are wary of such strange drugs.

"Bagon...?"

Feeling Firio's anxiety and worry, the baby dragon stood there obediently, allowing Firio's hands to grope all over its body. It did not move at all, but there was a hint of doubt in its voice.

From the moment it swallowed it, it didn't feel anything unusual.

It's like...taking a sip of slightly bitter water.

His breathing was steady, without any fluctuations, and his eyes were bright, without any trace of bloodshot, revealing a gentle look, and even a hint of a smile.

"Hmm..." Baby Dragon felt good, but Firion did not dare to be careless. He used his superpowers to scan Baby Dragon inch by inch, and checked it carefully from head to toe. "It seems...there is indeed no problem."

"Madge!"

Before he could finish his words, the little dream demon rushed up with cheers, and with all his might, he crashed into the baby dragon's back, and fell into Firio's arms with it, taking him with him.

"Bagon? Bagon!"

The baby dragon, who was still a little confused, felt the excitement of the little dream demon and knew that he had done a good thing this time, so he grinned.

As fate would have it, the antidote that was originally only able to partially limit the efficacy of the drug underwent a qualitative change.

Team Flare's potion was completely neutralized, not only did it lose its ability to drive Pokémon crazy, but its other effects were also completely lost.

A window opened in front of me, letting in a few rays of sunlight. Although they were not that clear, they pointed out a bright future.

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

"Not the temperature... Not the hot water..."

Row after row of guesses were crossed out, and the antidotes prepared on the spot were laid out in a row.

"Bagong..."

The baby dragon who was warned "not to do such dangerous things again" was still standing in the corner, listening to Firion's mumbling. He turned his head curiously, took a glance, and quickly turned back, concentrating on chewing the energy cube and drinking the sedative supplement.

In repeated experiments, the high-quality dragon energy cubes that were getting closer and closer to the advanced level turned into empty boxes and were stuffed into the stomach of this big eater who had always been very proud and suppressed his appetite.

The Wind Fairy and the Big Mouth Baby seemed to be meeting the baby dragon for the first time, and were deeply shocked by its appetite - it turned out that the previous reserve was fake! This guy might be a bigger eater than Haruka's little fat boy!

"Qido!"

"Elu!"

One box after another, the two little guys who like to watch the fun want to know how much it can eat.

"Bagon!"

The baby dragon swallowed the food handed to him in big gulps, gulped down the tonic, and looked at the wall nonchalantly, only his cheeks slightly flushed at the enthusiastic gazes of the two little guys.
