This elf world is a bit strange

The aggressive Xiaolan took off all his disguises and strode towards Xiaoyin, who was frightened and standing there motionless.

Then, when he was dejectedly waiting for the storm, she hugged him in her arms.

His breathing, which had become heavy due to nervousness and anxiety, carried a mist of water vapor and reached Xiaoyin's face, making his heartbeat seem to slow down by half a beat at this moment.

Seeing the tenderness and concern shown on that pretty face that was usually either willful or lively, he felt that his ability to speak and act was completely sealed.

After a long silence, he suddenly felt his face getting hot, so he stiffly raised his arms and hugged the girl in front of him.

Chapter 244 Sakaki's Ideal: The Secret of the Earth

The biggest advantage of the hotel suite compared to the Pokémon Center is that the interior space is spacious enough for a Tyrannosaurus Rex to perform.

After a chaotic and chaotic time, the joyful dinner began.

Silently taking the fried chicken nuggets handed over by Big Mouth Baby and sniffing the faint aroma of chili, Mewtwo, who was sitting in the most inconspicuous corner, nodded slightly.

It was the same one that He saw in the famous snack bar in Unova. In fact, it seemed to taste even better with the addition of the hot sauce prepared by Firio.

He casually threw it into his mouth and chewed it slowly, not forgetting to lick the oil on his fingertips, and Chaomeng squinted his eyes contentedly.

Before he knew it, the aloof Mewtwo had gotten used to eating with Firion and his Pokémon with different personalities. Firion's friends were also getting more and more accustomed to the presence of this powerful but slightly weird big cat around them.

Looking at the Pokémon who were eating enthusiastically and fighting with each other for the food, Mewtwo seemed to have returned to the peaceful Pokémon Village.

Everything in front of him made him feel warmer than the life at that time. After all, the Pokémon in front of him were not as restrained as the Pokémon there.

They truly see themselves as the same beings, rather than as powerful alternatives.

Thinking of this, the frown that was always subconsciously furrowed in his brows gradually relaxed, and as he was ready to go, the new gourmet Mewtwo joined the fierce battlefield of fighting for food.

After all, he teleported all the way from the distant overseas Unova to Kalos. Although he didn't bring anyone with him, the consumption on the road was astronomical. Even someone as powerful as Mewtwo would get tired.

The empty belly gave Him tremendous power.

The big-mouthed kid, who is small in stature but has a big appetite, grabbed food with one hand and put it into his mouth. On the other hand, the big jaw behind him was not idle either. He even looked back and forth at the key stone on Firion's wrist, wondering whether he should evolve from two mouths to three mouths.

The wind fairy and the dream fairy, who love playing more than eating, were fighting and making a lot of noise. They scrambled for the food, as if that was the only way they could enjoy the food.

Sitting side by side in a row, Emperor Nabo and Scaled Dragon were eating everything in their laps. Food residues fell on their bodies from time to time, and tiny spots of oil stained their beautiful hair and scales, but they were completely unaware.

As for the real glutton, the food devourer, Dragonite single-handedly raised the level of this dinner competition, eating like swallowing a river or drinking the sea. Even Mewtwo was shocked and couldn't close his mouth, stunned by his true eating attitude.

"Eat slowly, it's not like there's not enough food. Do you have to rush to eat it to enjoy it?"

Sitting in the only piece of pure land in the chaos, Firion picked up the soup bowl and took a sip, stroking the soft fur of the Sun Eevee, his words full of doting.

Even the mature and steady Emperor Nabo has become more and more lively under the influence of his companions, especially when it comes to eating.

I seem to have cultivated quite a few big eaters... But this seems to be a good thing.

Scratching his head, Firion smiled gently as he looked at the Sol Eevee who secretly came over to drink his soup.

The tracking of the Mana Matrix, the wild fight in the deserted streets, the surprise attack of Beedrill, and Sakaki who was scared out of his wits but actually gained something... He became more open-minded and did not care too much about such ups and downs. Although the power of Beedrill did exceed his expectations, that was all. It was not enough to break his joy of meeting Mewtwo again.

Needless to say, in the confrontation and dialogue with Sakaki, and in the meaningful temptations between them, he also noticed something.

He has not yet recovered from his serious illness, and his way of thinking and acting is no longer the same as the cold and multifaceted ambitious man he used to be.

The dormant Team Rocket, the son who avoids him, and himself who is weakened by illness, as well as the original intention of a trainer that he rediscovered through fierce battles and interactions with legendary trainers. Perhaps Sakaki is now in his best state, a fully grown child of the forest chosen by the Viridian Forest.

The storm will bring dormancy, but will also bring a rainbow afterwards.

Although he was seriously ill and in hiding, he still retained the ambition and composure of his youth, and was even more upright and had no intention of hiding anything.

However, it seems that... there was someone else behind "Claire" and "Barra" who appeared on the sea that day.

My thoughts are flying, and the scattered fragments of information make it difficult to see clearly.

"..."

The chicken nugget was brought to his mouth but stopped again. Mewtwo glanced at Firion who seemed to be in deep thought, smiled slightly, stretched out his greasy hand, and pinched his cheek.

The Dream Fairy, who was fighting with the Wind Fairy for a piece of cake, also saw it but pretended not to see it. He just stopped fighting and sat back in his place amid the Wind Fairy's triumphant show-off, the beads on his chest flickering.

Seeing Firion's silence and Mewtwo's teasing, the fleeting stab flashed through its mind again. The speed, strength, and integration and even control of the environment of that extremely powerful Beedrill were completely beyond its imagination. If it was a legendary Pokémon, it would be fine, but it was just one of the most common Pokémon.

"Buyi..."

While lost in thought, it felt the call from the front. It looked up and met the bright eyes of the Sun Eevee.

Its own appearance was reflected in its beautiful purple eyes, flashing with the same shock and fighting spirit as its own.

“…Machi!”

The flaming hair fluttered behind her, and a confident smile was on the dream demon's face.

Just as Firion trusted them, it never doubted that under Firion's leadership, one day it and its other companions would become as powerful and surpass the past.

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

After dinner, a satisfied Mewtwo left in a hurry.

Having been enlightened by Firion, he no longer concealed his thoughts and followed the clues left at the scene of the incident. In just half a month, he tracked down Unova, but lost sight of his cunning opponent.

However, even though there are no clues, it is not Mewtwo's style to give up when faced with setbacks. He will continue searching in the mountains and forests.

Firion knew very well the nature of this proud big cat who would complete a decision once it made it, so he had no intention of dissuading him. He just gave him a few words of advice and let him leave.

The world is so big, let alone the people and Pokémon who can stop Mewtwo, there are only a handful of people who can repel him.

After cleaning up the messy table and cleaning up the Pokémon that were eating enthusiastically, Firion finally got a moment of leisure and sat in front of the computer to search for something, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing, his lips moving slightly, muttering silently.

"dong dong dong"

Three polite knocks on the door interrupted his thoughts. When he opened the door, he saw that it was Manatori, the secretary who had been sent away by Sakaki earlier.

Although her disguise was enough to deceive the hotel's surveillance, it was useless in the face of Firio's superpowers.

Looking at the purple melon-shaped girl with glasses who was hesitant to speak, Filio said cautiously, "Ms. Mantori, you came so late, do you have anything to teach me?"

“Ah, no no no no no!” Seeing that Firio’s expression was not very friendly, Manatori quickly waved his hands and pushed his glasses stiffly, “I have no ill intentions. I am here to apologize! What happened this evening was caused by my subordinates being too rude. I am very sorry!”

Firio nodded: "...Is that so? That's fine. I accept it. Please go back."

"No, no, no! There are other important things!"

Seeing that Firio was about to close the door, the flustered Mantori immediately couldn't control his voice. He was so anxious that he couldn't even stand in the corridor and blocked the door with his hands and feet.

"Hmm? Anything else? Then come in and tell me."

Although her eyes were unfriendly, seeing that she didn't seem to be hiding any plans, Filio still opened the door and let the sweaty secretary in.

The reason was simple. Although he couldn't beat Sakaki, he could still handle a secretary who was not good at actual combat. There was nothing to worry about.

Seeing that Filio was sitting on the sofa carelessly and had no intention of letting himself sit down, Manori stood aside awkwardly with his hands crossed in front of him. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the tension not only did not subside, but became more and more intense.

Firio's calm gaze was unfathomable in her eyes, just like when she failed to complete the task assigned by Sakaki, which made people feel terrified.

"Gudu..."

Swallowing hard, trying to regain his ability to speak, Mana lowered his head and stared at his shoes, and said loudly: "We want you to join Team Rocket!"

"?"

Firio's expression was a little strange. He didn't understand why his secretary came again after rejecting Sakaki.

Unfortunately, Manatori, who was intimidated by his aura, was unaware of his expression and didn't even think of looking up. He lowered his head and mustered up his courage to talk incessantly about Sakaki and Team Rocket's philosophy.

From an ideal perspective, Sakaki and the legend of Mt. Shirogane are two sides of the same coin. Neither is purely good or evil, but they have different perspectives on power, have experienced completely different lives, and ultimately become destined enemies.

Firio's silence gave her a lot of motivation and confidence, and finally allowed her to take her eyes off the pair of high heels that were covered with dust after today's long walk.

But when he saw Firio's half-smile, the words that were about to come out of his mouth seemed to be blocked and he could no longer say them.

"Real bird..."

"Ah, I'm here."

"You came here on your own, right? No... maybe you arranged to meet up, but you never met up with Sakaki again?"

"Huh?! How...how did you know?"

"Because he had already asked me that question in that alley, and I said no."

"what……?"

"Moreover, from what I know about Sakaki, he wouldn't do such a thing. Using ideas to convince others is probably not within his scope of consideration. He only believes in common goals. It seems that you still don't know him well enough. At least, you don't understand him now. Please take a seat. You must have been busy all day, right?"

Picking up the coffee pot, he poured a cup for himself and Manori respectively. Then, with his guard down, Firion made a gesture and pushed the steaming coffee over.

"Thank you..." The soft sofa cushions and the sweet and rich coffee made Manori feel relaxed after being tired for a long time. However, she did not forget the original purpose of coming here. She took a sip and asked impatiently, "Have you talked to Lord Sakaki? But... why?!"

"There are some things I've said to him before, and it doesn't hurt to say them again to you. Boss Sakaki is different from those stupid or short-sighted idiots everywhere. Anyone who sees him here, calling him Boss Sakaki is not a compliment." With a faint smile, Firio picked up the coffee and tried his craftsmanship, squinting his eyes in satisfaction. "Team Rocket is the product of the contradictions accumulated in the social development of Kanto and several surrounding areas over the past few decades. It broke the decay and silence of that ancient continent and laid the material and spiritual foundation for the creation of a new era in a very cruel way."

"Do you really think so?" Manato's eyes lit up, and he looked at Firion expectantly, subconsciously using honorifics.

"Of course, but like I said before, I didn't agree to it." Firio changed the subject as Manato's eyes twinkled with stars. "Compared to people like Vladari who are self-moved by their ideals, Boss Sakaki is a frank person. He knows what he is doing and has never denied that he is doing evil. This is already much better than others. I respect Boss Sakaki as a person, and I also partially understand his ideas, including his power of Changpan. After all, moderate evil is indeed the driving force for social progress. However, his current path will not work, because its negative impact will only be greater than the positive for a long time. He didn't care about this process at the beginning, but I do."

"Sakaki-sama, he..."

"Actually, you don't have to be like this." Seeing her instantly turn into a frost-bitten eggplant, Firio pondered for a moment and said softly, "I think Sakaki has figured out these things, so he didn't discuss this issue with me too much. Maybe he himself hasn't figured out where the new path is, otherwise he wouldn't have responded to the people's power supply in Johto, right? Whether it's a fledgling kid or a seriously ill person, nothing can stop that man. You know this better than me. It's a pity that sometimes the reality he recognizes is easy for you, his subordinates, to understand."

"I...they..."

The young secretary was dejected and wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

Every word of Firio hit her irrefutable pain point, or rather, hit the pain point of Team Rocket, who were planning to make a comeback and rebuild the dark underground empire every day.

"Dong dong dong..."

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

This time, the voice was no longer as polite as when the real bird came to the door, but instead sounded very imposing.

The door opened, and standing at the door was Nazi, who looked like she was ready to accuse someone.

"Did I ruin your good fortune...Makoto?!"

It only took a moment for her to go from a sneer to shock, and the sudden rise in the octave of her voice conveyed Naz's emotions at the moment.

"Alas!--"

The real bird in the room was so frightened that it could hardly hold the coffee cup. It subconsciously shrank into a ball and turned into a shivering quail.

The question she had prepared for the whole journey was cut off by the sudden change. Nancy herself could not remember how she walked into the house. She pretended to be calm and looked at the bewildered Manatori with cold eyes: "I remember, I warned you."

"I, I, I, I, I... excuse me for disturbing you! I'll leave now! Sorry!—"

The secretary, who was frightened out of her wits by Nancy, ran away from Filio and almost bumped into the little dream demon who came out to join in the fun. Her speed was comparable to that of a fast-running Dodoli and she disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye. Only the crisp sound of her high heels stepping on the floor could be heard.

......

......

"So, what's going on? Why did you meet the real bird?"

Partly because she was too late to stop it and partly because she did it on purpose, after letting Manato go, Naz sat on the sofa with a cold face and questioned him.

However, this time Filio seemed very tough. He sat down at the main seat leisurely, picked up the unfinished coffee fearlessly, took a sip calmly, and then put down the cup under Naz's increasingly cold gaze, and said loudly: "The one who eavesdropped outside the door, do you think you are hiding well? Come in quickly!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Korni, who was hiding in the corner, walked into the room dejectedly through the door that was not closed tightly. She sat opposite Nancy, sandwiching her from both sides with Firio in the middle. She tried to puff up her little face and look angry.

Nancy frowned, "Now is the time to tell me, right? Why are you running with Team Rocket?"

"I taught the Mana Matrix a lesson on my way back today, and then I met Sakaki and his giant Beedrill."

Firio spoke in a calm tone, but his words were full of shocking intent, and the two men's eyes widened at the same time.

"Sakaki?!" Nancy stood up suddenly, her eyes full of fear and anger, "How dare he...!"

"Are you okay?" Her beautiful eyes were filled with concern. Korni didn't care about her jealousy and quickly moved to Firion's side, holding his hand with concern. "Do you want to ask the Alliance to issue a special wanted order? And provide security!"

"That's not necessary. Nancy, you sit down too. I'm fine, aren't I?" Waving his hand gently, Firion moved to the side to make room for Korney, and said in a deep voice, "Don't be so excited. Although we did meet, we didn't fight. If we did fight, you wouldn't be able to see me anymore. It's just that he wanted me to join Team Rocket, but I didn't agree."

Nancy reluctantly sat back on the sofa, her nervousness still not having subsided, her breathing rapid and her chest heaving up and down.

After a long while, she asked unsurely, "Will he be so easy to talk to? He is a man who does things unscrupulously."

"But I have Mewtwo here, and he doesn't dare to bet whether Mewtwo is by my side or not." Firion tapped his forehead lightly with his fingertips. In order to prevent the two from worrying too much, he smiled casually. "Besides, he seems to have changed his mind, but the contact time is too short, so I can't be completely sure. Nancy, you are quite familiar with him, can you help me analyze it?"

As he spoke, he concealed the details of the battle and confrontation, and told the two of them everything about his meeting with Sakaki.
