This elf world is a bit strange

"Haiyun...ah, so he took the photo. I almost didn't recognize him! He takes great photos of landscapes." Violet clapped her hands and turned to look at Firio. "You know a lot too!...Eh? You're not that...ah! I remember now, aren't you Firio? Chaklo mentioned you to me! I've even seen your match at the Miale Arena!"

After thinking hard, Violet, who had a very bad memory, recognized that Filio was the person she took the photo of before coming in. Then she remembered that he was the Filio that Chaklo had mentioned frequently recently, and she greeted him happily.

"Yes, I'm Firio. Nice to meet you, Miss Violet. When I was in Haruka, I often heard Chaklo talk about you. He said that you were not only cute, but also cheerful and generous. Today, I see that it is true."

"Machi~!"

Firio smiled and nodded, and gave a small assist to Chaklo who was far away in Haruka. The outgoing little dream demon also floated up and came forward with a smile.

"Hehe...I didn't expect this guy would say something nice about me."

Listening to Firio's words, a hint of cunning appeared on Violet's delicate face. It was obvious that she was secretly planning something, but it soon disappeared. Her big, heroic eyes looked at Firio with a faint smile.

"Would you like to take a walk together? I'm quite experienced in photography, so I'm confident enough to be your guide and interpreter~!"

"Of course, I'd love to, thank you very much, Miss Violet."

There was no reason to refuse the invitation of a beautiful woman, so Firion nodded slightly and accepted it with pleasure.

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

Go to the exhibition together and chat while walking.

During the conversation, Filio learned that Violet, a photography enthusiast, did not have any works participating in this exhibition.

She had been quite busy in the past few months, either with alliance missions or special training. She also found time to help her sister Pansy take a group of news photos, and had not been able to spare any time to take photos that she was satisfied with.

However, compared to Firio, who is only half-baked, Violet, as an expert, is much more professional when commenting on the works of various enthusiasts. With just a few words, she can clearly point out the pros and cons of a work.

Firio would chime in from time to time, which made her more interested in talking.

While the two were talking happily, a thin, dark figure had caught sight of them from a distant corner and was approaching them stealthily.

Firion's expression remained calm. He just blinked at Violet and pointed behind him inconspicuously.

A red light flashed in the little dream demon's eyes, and his figure disappeared, leaving only a small illusion.

Haiyun, who was only thinking about scaring Firio and Violet, was unaware of all this.

Bending slightly, holding the eager Yaya in his arms, he slowly moved forward hiding in the crowd, looking left and right, and what he thought was a stealth move, he slipped behind Firio who seemed unaware.

The constant flow of people was quite noisy.

Soon, he came around behind the two of them.

With his teeth and claws bared, he was ready to pounce and give Firion a little "surprise".

However, just as he and Yaya in his arms were ready to attack, a deafening roar rang in their ears.

"Roar--"

The faint dragon power made Haiyun and Yaya's hearts tremble.

Immediately afterwards, with a "swish" sound, a huge ghost face appeared in front of him.

"Ma-chi-"

The long and lingering sound, besides being shocking, also added a bit of terror.

"Oh my god!——"

"Kiwan!——"

The two, one big and one small, who were extremely frightened, fell to the ground with a thud.

......

......

"Well, you two actually teamed up to plot against me! And Fangya, you little traitor!"

Haiyun, still in shock, stroked his chest and glared.

The greedy Yaya had already been captured by the two candies and was acting coquettishly in Violet's arms.

"Kiwan~!"

After hearing what he said, the little guy glanced at him with disdain, picked up a piece of candy, threw it into his mouth and chewed it.

Firio showed a victorious smile: "You get what you deserve. You even thought of scaring me. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."

"Tsk... miscalculated." He secretly snorted and looked at the two of them suspiciously, "Why are you two together? Are you going to challenge the gym, Firion?"

"Eh? Challenging a gym?"

Violet's eyes lit up and she looked at Firion with burning eyes.

She suddenly thought of what Chaklo had said about Filio.

"Great, great! Let's go! Let's go to the gym!"

Without saying anything, she grabbed Philio's arm, picked up Haiyun, and walked out of the field with big strides.

The familiar scene made Firio feel as if he had returned directly to a short time ago and saw the young man who was also talking to himself.

"Speaking of which, you white sandalwood people, do you all just want to grab people and leave as soon as you act?"

"Of course! If you want to do it, do it now!"

Ignoring the complicated looks from the two, Miss Violet answered as a matter of course and with confidence.

Compared to Chaklo's restraint, Violet is more outspoken and energetic, which just complements and echoes each other.

Chapter 162 Breakthrough! Bug Badge! (6300)

With its emerald green roof and dark green walls, the Baidan Dojo located in the city park blends in with the surrounding scenery.

Many young bug-type Pokémon live in the park, interacting and playing with the citizens coming and going. Everywhere you look, it's a happy scene.

Although she is young, Violet is very popular in Baitan. Along the way, everyone who sees her will wave to her enthusiastically. She also shows her signature cheerful smile, responds loudly, or raises her camera to take an impromptu snapshot.

Perhaps even a superstar like Karunai, who is also the league champion, is not as popular as Violet in Baidan's small territory.

Once you enter the gym, you'll see all kinds of photos in front of you, including close-ups directly related to Bug-type Pokémon, as well as challengers that have left a deep impression on Violet over the long term. In just a few years, the complex aisles have been filled with photo frames, and there's even a special studio for storage.

At the end of the studio is the gym's combat and training area.

There are many flowers, plants and trees planted around the huge venue, and the ceiling is made of translucent glass. Thanks to the constant temperature system, the entire space is like spring all year round, just like a giant greenhouse.

On weekdays, dozens of apprentices would gather here to train hard. A large number of gym Pokémon cultivated by Violet were also playing in the woods at this time. When they saw her come back, they all came forward to be intimate with her.

As there was an important event for the city today, the apprentices of the gym went out to serve as volunteers, and the place became empty. The young man who was extremely enthusiastic and pulled Firio towards the exhibition area was also one of the apprentices of this gym. He was quite powerful and was highly regarded by Violet.

Surrounded by the gym Pokémon, Violet walked forward and gently turned twice, looking at Firion and Haiyun, with a tone of reserve and complacency: "How is it? Isn't our White Sandalwood Gym handsome and beautiful?"

Filio complimented him graciously, "Of course, the most rare thing is that it complements the overall style of the city of Baitan. It is conspicuous but not abrupt. It can be said to be the finishing touch."

"Haha! You're really good at talking. I wish that Chaklo was half as good as you!"

Violet enjoyed it very much, her eyebrows curved into a crescent moon, and the more she looked at Philio, the more she liked him.

However, no matter how happy she was, she still did not forget her identity as the gym leader. She cleared her throat, stood to one side of the battle field, and spoke loudly: "Ahem! Haiyun, our gym is closed today. This time, I'll trouble you to be the referee!"

"Me? Sure, no problem! This is a great spot in first gear!"

Pointing at himself, Haiyun became a little excited and started jogging.

"Kiwan! Kiwan!"

Yaya also followed closely behind with great interest, jumping and skipping.

As he grows older, the little guy's warlike genes begin to take effect, and he would dance with joy every time he sees an exciting fight.

"Then I'll ask your advice, Violet."

Standing silently in the challenger's seat, a flash of lightning flashed across Firio's deep eyes, and his whole gentle temperament changed. In a flash, he was like a sword drawn from its sheath, flashing with cold light.

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

"The White Sandalwood Gym Challenge, challenger Firion, versus White Sandalwood Gym Leader Violet. The battle rules are 1 vs. 1, each person can choose up to two Pokémon, and the battle ends when all Pokémon on either side lose their ability to fight. Now, the battle begins!"

Part-time referee Haiyun stood outside the court, and his every move was quite dignified, except for his smile which made his face look a bit sincere.

"Then let me start, Kabutosaurus, I leave it to you!"

Looking at the rows of Poké Balls behind Violet, Firion nodded slightly, took out the already trembling Kabutops Poké Ball from his waist, and threw it out while spinning.

"Boom"

"Como!"

"Bam—"

Amid the dull sound of landing, the Kabutosaurus stood on the field with high morale, full of energy and fierce momentum.

"Wow, what a powerful Kabutosaurus! I can't show weakness!"

With a raised brow, the fighting spirit of the crustacean also piqued Violet's interest. She casually touched the instrument beside her, and a new-looking elf ball appeared in her palm.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Go ahead, Rainwing Moth!"

"Ami!"

The huge tentacles hide the small torso, and the two pairs of nimble little wings flap at high speed. As soon as it appears, the air is filled with a faint, relaxing fragrance.

But when he looked at the rain-wing moth's eyes again, he saw its sharp edge and its awe-inspiring aura overwhelming him, rushing towards the Kabutosaurus that was ready for battle.

Rainwing moth

Gender: Female

Attributes: Insect, flying

Ability: Intimidate

Energy accumulation: 47

"Carapace dragon, dragon breath!"

"Rainwing Moth, Freeze Beam, Ice Studio!"

Without any guidance, Firion and Violet entered combat mode the moment the two Pokémon appeared, shouting orders.

"Como!"

The raging pillar of fire shot straight into the sky, attacking the Rainwing Moth with four dancing wings. If the styles of Incubus and Solevil are agile and sharp, the skill characteristic of Kabutops is infinite speed.

"Ami!"

In a nimble dance, the Rain-Wing Moth, having anticipated this, leaped into the air, dodging the main body of the dragon's breath at the last second.

Then, his eyes turned cold and a beam of crystal light fell from the sky.

But the target is not Kabutosaurus.

"Swish"

"Click..."

In an instant, the huge battlefield was covered with ice, emitting a chilling cold breath.

This is the Ice Studio where countless fledgling trainers have failed.

Violet clenched her fists and smiled confidently, "Now, fly at high speed, signal beam!"

"Ami!——"

The Rain-Wing Moth soared into the sky, flapping its wings and flying nimbly into the sky. The dark purple beam of light shot directly at the Kabutosaurus, whose steps seemed a little unsteady on the ice.

The smooth ice surface is a difficult place for Pokémon that cannot fly.

The crisis was approaching, but Firio remained unmoved. He said in a deep voice: "Kakiro, step on it and break the ice! Then close the distance and use sparks!"

"Como!"

After more than a month of living together day and night, the baby dragon was full of trust in Firion's command. His slightly panicked heart regained its composure, and he jumped high into the air, then landed heavily on the ice.

In an instant, a huge gap appeared on the smooth ice, and under the spider-web-like cracks, the gray floor was vaguely visible again.

With the help of its huge weight, the Kabutosaurus was able to counter the attack and stood firmly on the ground. It raised its head high and looked at the approaching magical light without changing its expression. It did not start until the light was right in front of it, then it blasted out a series of fireballs that it had been ready to fire.

"boom--"

Sparks flew everywhere in the violent explosion.

In the fierce head-on collision, shallow marks appeared on the Kabutosaurus' body.
