This elf world is a bit strange

"There has been almost no news about her in the past few years, but I think she is still hiding in the dark and plotting something, just like she plotted against the Poké Ball Factory. The original Flare Team was larger than anyone imagined, and its influence spread throughout Kalos. Even if the main force was lost, it is not without the power to plan new conspiracies."

"Claire is a very rare trainer who specializes in multiple attributes. Like our champion, Miss Karen, although her strength is much inferior, her style is similar. She is also the type with few weaknesses and no loopholes."

"As for Akebee, you should know from your experience dealing with her that she is a very reckless person. She is very strong but her style is very simple, that is, rushing forward and attacking hard. On the contrary, she is not as feared as Claire."

"Perhaps they have not given up the plan to rescue Vladali, and perhaps they have devised some new scheme without Vladali's knowledge. After all, they are Vladali's diehard fans and truly crazy and evil people."

"Ah, this guy Vladali always thinks too much. He thinks beautiful things should be preserved forever, and ugly things should be completely destroyed. Even his 'followers' have learned the same lesson."

Talking about himself and Caroline's old friend and common enemy, Bratano sighed.

Thinking of the new crisis that might come at any time, he didn't know what to do and could only sigh.

"It's okay, Dr. Blatano. It's not like we haven't learned our lesson. That old lion-head Fradali is now imprisoned in a top-level prison that is foolproof. It won't have any impact!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Violet casually put her arm around Bratano's shoulder, patted her chest to guarantee him, her eyes full of confidence.

Firio's eyelids twitched: "Violet, now you are like an old general on the stage, with flags all over your body."

"Stage? Old General? What is this? Why don't I understand?"

Violet was a little confused and looked at Firion curiously, leaving Haiyun speechless.

"You really should learn from your sister, Miss Pansy, and at least stop being a cyber primitive..."

"Really... I'll just check it out!"

Listening to Haiyun's complaints, Violet pouted with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face, took out her cell phone, and started typing away.

"Ahaha... this one..."

After a while, she found out a general idea and understood what Firio meant. She smiled awkwardly, but thinking about the large-scale jailbreak that happened a few months ago and Pakila's face that was darker than the bottom of a pot, she began to feel less confident.

"It doesn't matter. I think Fradali's problem is not that big anymore, otherwise Karunori wouldn't have let him live." Bratano took over the conversation, his tone a little more relaxed, obviously coming out of his previous depression. "Although he is a little paranoid, he is not a stupid guy. After going through many things, he knows very well that his actions are meaningless. Compared to him, the current conspiracy of the Flare Team is more worthy of attention. The thing code-named [Madness Potion] is really too dangerous."

"Qiduo! Qiduo!"

Big Mouth Boy, who had witnessed the atrocities committed by Team Flash in the "Sala-Biyi Nature Reserve", jumped onto the table and nodded in agreement.

Regardless of their strength, all Pokémon went crazy in a short period of time. Such a potion could cause a huge disaster if one was not careful. If a powerful force like Team Flare interfered, the consequences would be disastrous.

"I don't know what those people in the Alliance and the Cultivators Association are busy with. There has been little progress in the past few months. It's really embarrassing! That's it, and they won't even let my assistants join!"

Thinking of the last time he went to Miare for a meeting, Bratano still felt a little indignant.

As a well-known Pokémon research institute in Carlos, although its main research topics are Mega Evolution and Evolution Energy, the Blatano Institute also has several highly qualified researchers in the field of pharmacy, and he could not accept being excluded from the research so bluntly.

Violet smiled awkwardly and reached out to pat Bratano on the back. As the official gym leader, it was really inconvenient for her to speak on such a topic.

Fortunately, after venting his emotions a little, Bratano quickly calmed down and spoke in a kinder tone: "Fortunately, Miss Milia from Sala has achieved some results, so those good-for-nothings didn't delay the important matter! After this meeting, maybe we can start mass production? If so, we can all feel more at ease."

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something and cast a probing look at Filio: "Speaking of which, Filio, you are also from Sala, right? Do you know this Miss Milia? I heard that she is not very old, a 30-year-old high-level breeder. She is really an amazing talent."

"..."

It was the first time that Filio heard someone praise his teacher like this, and he was a little uncomfortable. In his mind, the serious teacher Milia and the not-so-serious teacher Milia started fighting, and the referee was the fat little otaku Suifengqiu who was drinking from a Coke bottle.

"What's wrong, Firion?"

Seeing that Filio had not responded, Bratano raised his voice slightly.

"Hmm? Oh, cough cough cough! It's okay, it's okay!" Firio finally came back to his senses from his reverie, shook his head, and threw away the two Milia teachers along with the wind ball. "Milia is my teacher. It's just a little unexpected. It's the first time I heard someone say that about her. I feel a little disillusioned with her image. I also know something about the preparation of that potion. I just discussed it with the teacher not long ago."

“Eh?!” Bratano’s eyes widened, and then he burst into laughter, “Hahaha! Yeah, how could I forget? You are from the Salo Academy, and you are the youngest intermediate breeder in Carlos. It’s true when you think about it!”

After learning about the relationship between Filio and Milia, Bratano's interest suddenly increased, and his eyes looking at him became softer and more appreciative.

He pulled out a gold-embossed invitation from his purse and handed it to Firion, palm up, motioning him to open it and take a look.

"Hmm? Is there a research meeting on Team Flash's [Madness Potion] in Yingxue City?"

Looking at the few lines of text, Firio raised his eyebrows and remembered what Teacher Milia said when she called him two days ago.

At that time, he seemed to be busy commanding the battle between Kabutosaurus and a wild Blue King, and he just dealt with it with a few words.

I didn't expect this to happen.

Bratano invited enthusiastically: "How about going with me? I plan to leave tomorrow morning. If you want to go, I can take you there. If you go by yourself, it's not that close from here to Yingxue. It will take a few days."

"In that case, thank you very much, Dr. Bratano! I just want to go to Yingxue City to ask Mr. Defu for advice."

Without much hesitation, Firio agreed decisively.

Regardless of whether or not to attend this academic conference, at least I can save a lot of time on the road, and I can also take some time out of my busy schedule to meet with Teacher Milia, and by the way, ask the fat guy Suifengqiu about the latest gossip about Teacher Milia.

"I want to play, too!"

After hearing such good news, Violet, who didn't like staying in the gym, jumped three feet high and made a request with shining eyes.

"You haven't even finished taking photos of my illustrated book, what are you playing for?!"

A big # sign appeared on his forehead. Unable to tolerate Violet's irresponsible behavior, Bratano clenched his fists, pressed them on both sides of Violet's forehead, and twisted them hard.

“Ouch, ahh ...

"Haiyun, help me keep an eye on her! If she keeps being lazy and doesn't take photos for me, I'll stay in the Baidan Gym every day!"

The exaggerated screams spread throughout the busy greenhouse.

Dr. Bratano, who is always gentle, showed a side of himself that was different from his public image.

Chapter 164 Encounter (5600)

On Route 21, a flat road, a large off-road vehicle specially modified for field surveys sped past.

The car windows were open, and the cool wind blew Dr. Bratano's soft hair, making it a little messy.

Filio, sitting in the back seat, narrowed his eyes slightly, chatted idly, and looked out the window.

The surrounding scenery was rapidly receding, and from time to time a few brave Pokémon waved to him, but this did not attract his attention too much.

He was still thinking about the story that Bratano told him as they passed the entrance to Champions Road.

......

......

After hearing that Firion was touring the eight major gyms, Bratano became interested and asked a lot of questions along the way. He even slowed down the car when passing the Champion Road to give Firion time to carefully observe this harsh wilderness that was regarded as a holy place for training by countless trainers in Carlos.

In a whisper, Bratano told many secrets about the road to championship.

Hundreds of years ago, when the Kalos Alliance was still in the making and only in its infancy, this was the region with the largest number of wild Pokémon and the strongest strength in the entire Kalos continent.

The southern wilderness, now called the "largest protected area", is nothing compared to this place.

Since it was not far from several large and densely populated settlements, the Pokémon here would often flee to the periphery, threatening the human settlements that were still in the cycle of civilization change at the time with their powerful strength.

Or the losers in the competition for survival are exiled.

Or the population may have multiplied too much and split into groups and migrated.

Or maybe it's just a desire to see the outside world.

Compared to the human trainers who were not strong enough and not united at that time, these Pokémon were a real threat.

At that time, the "Alliance of Hope" in the Kalos region, the predecessor of the Kalos Alliance, whose mission was to ensure the co-existence and development of humans and Pokémon, stepped forward and set up its headquarters in the dangerous mountains.

Through the hard work of generations of league trainers, the Kalos League was finally established. The headquarters, which was originally just a small outpost, gradually expanded and became the pillar of the Kalos region today.

As for the wild Pokémon here, after hundreds of years of competition and cooperation, they were gradually suppressed by the Alliance until this place became a training area that is not a protected area but better than a protected area.

Nowadays, many powerful Pokémon that are violent or aggressive by nature are also transported here from all over the place and released into various areas of the Champion Road after the rangers have failed to persuade them.

In this way, the space of Champion's Road itself has been gradually developed, becoming a complex area that is very suitable for trainers to train.

In addition to the huge cave that is the main part of the Champion Road challenge, it also includes mountains, rivers, jungles, sandy lands, various landforms and rare Pokémon from all over the world.

Many powerful travelers and trainers directly under the Alliance Headquarters often train here. Those who can practice here for a long time are all extraordinary experts without exception.

Yan Kai, the current one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Alliance, won the Alliance Conference Championship twenty years ago. After failing in his challenge to the Four Heavenly Kings, he trained here for a long time until he completed his own growth and transformation.

Even after he won the title of one of the League's four greatest warriors, he was still often seen on the road to championship. There were always trainers who could see him training with their partners and receive his kind yet strict instruction.

......

......

"Let me tell you, if you want to find Yan Kai, your chances of trying your luck on the Champion's Road might be slightly higher than at the Hall of Chivalry."

Sensing Filio's absent-mindedness, the talkative Blatano teased his old friend.

Firion shrugged, gently stroked the dozing Big Mouth Baby, and looked at him playfully: "Then aren't those who practice in the House of Chivalry at a disadvantage?"

"They don't have a choice anyway. They can't just learn cooking from Zhimi or follow Doracena to perform shaman dances, right? If you think about it this way, isn't Yan Kai much more reliable than them?"

Bratano chuckled and made no secret of the fact that the four local kings and a part-time champion were not doing their jobs properly.

"Hearing you say that, I always feel that the future of our Kalos is bleak. Although I think the four kings and champions of various places are also quite idle, are there no reliable people?"

He casually took back the sleeping big-mouthed baby, grabbed the little dream demon who was playing the styling game on his head, and pressed it into his arms unhappily. Firio took over the conversation and the topic suddenly changed to the popular gossip.

“There will always be one…right?”

Even the knowledgeable Bratano was unable to react for a moment. He saw Filio in the rearview mirror out of the corner of his eye and found that he was inexplicably lacking in confidence, and his tone became a little more ambiguous.

"Who?"

"Let me think... oh, by the way, King Gosong from Sinnoh is quite conscientious."

"Wusong? Ha..." Thinking of a certain dragon king with red suit and purple hair who disappeared for a few days for some reason but soon accumulated more than ten consecutive days, Firio's mouth curled up with a sneer, "If I hadn't been in the same group with him for several months and watched him post hundreds or thousands of messages every day, I would have believed you."

"Huh?! Is that so?!" Blatano took a deep breath, and then his eyes became eager, "So, compared to Sinnoh, we are pretty good?"

"Well......"

Firion pondered for a moment, thinking about the old men in his own area, and then thinking about Sinnoh, thousands of miles away.

A guy with a red afro who only knows how to hang out with his best friend, the golden-haired emo monster.

A green tuft of hair who is ridiculously popular but whose talent is really lacking, and who is busy going around signing autographs for female fans all day long.

There are also old drivers who have completely let themselves go since they are about to retire, and are always ready to go for a ride.

Plus a certain lipstick guru who's always flying around the world with a Pokémon that can never learn to play Dragonite.

Firio suddenly felt that Carlos' part-time Four Heavenly Kings and Movie Queen champion were pretty good - although there was a former Flare Team member with a bad temper, and another one with squinty eyes that would definitely turn black if cut open.

"Hahaha! What do you think? Doesn't it make sense? Sit tight!"

With a flamboyant laugh, Bratano completely let himself go, stepped hard on the accelerator, and the already speeding SUV sped away. The public's lover and Carlos' friend of women also revealed his wild side.

"There are so many interesting gossips, for example, that girl named Pakila, she..."

The chatterbox that is usually kept tightly closed in order to maintain a serious persona, once opened in a speeding car and in the private space of only two people, there is a tendency that it can never be closed again.

Buratano, whose heart of complaining and gossiping was aroused, did not act like the mature and steady well-known scholar he usually was. Instead, he looked like a first-class tabloid reporter, talking about heavyweight gossip that was either true or hearsay.

As one of Carlos' most renowned scholars, Blatano has extremely close relationships with many powerful trainers and league leaders. Once the topic is opened, it is even more important than what people in the Psychic Research Society talk about.

"Machi~Machi~!"

Firio was still fine, but the little dream demon who loved to listen to gossip had his eyes shining and was laughing so hard that he was bent over.

With such a top-notch audience who can accurately get the jokes and join in the fun, Bratano becomes more and more courageous.

I love ice cream but I’m afraid of getting fat, so I always ask Sirona to come along. I eat a bite myself and give the rest to my best friend, the movie queen Ms. Karuna.

Miss Pakira, a pink-haired Fire Elite Four Kings who doesn't want to reveal her name and occupation, seems violent but is actually beaten unilaterally by Doracena every time she gets angry.

Although he is the king of the dragon family, he loves to use the traitor of the dragon family and the shame of the dragon family very much, but his strength is unexpectedly powerful, the big shaman (cross out) Aunt Dora Sena (cross out) eldest sister.

......

......

There were so many outrageous remarks that if you went outside, you would definitely be chased thousands of miles away.

The figure of a person who is not sure whether he is still alive, always wearing goggles and carrying a pool cue, gradually overlapped with the passionate doctor who was driving in front of him.

If I record everything he just said, I can probably extort ten or eight mega stones from him anyway, Firion thought.

"..."

As if sensing Filio's mood, Bratano felt a chill all over his body, as if he realized what he had just done.

"You won't tell anyone, right?"
