This elf world is a bit strange

After listening to Firio's account of the whole incident, including the conversation with Manato, Nancy's expression eased a little, but she still did not dare to be careless.

"You'd better reduce your contact with him. He is a man who will do what he decides. Besides, Team Rocket is also a very scary organization, not comparable to Team Flare. Be careful."

With her right hand pressed on her chest which had finally calmed down, Nancy still felt a lingering fear when she recalled the experience of taking advantage of the chakra to usurp power and the four generals to seize power to leave Team Rocket.

"I feel relieved. Now that we really met, I'm not as afraid of him as I was at the beginning. Although that giant Beedrill was really ridiculously strong, I didn't have a strong premonition of life-threatening danger from beginning to end. Instead, I got a little reminder from him." Firio smiled and patted the back of Nancy's hand who had unknowingly come to his side, and comforted her.

The atmosphere in the house gradually became harmonious.

But at this moment, Filio, who had been holding back for more than half a month, suddenly took the initiative and grabbed the two women who were about to take the opportunity to escape. He smiled and said, "Now that we have finished talking about business, I want to know another question. How did you know someone entered my hotel room?"

"me……"

As soon as these words came out, Korni, who was unable to keep her composure, immediately stammered.

On the contrary, Nazi was calm and collected. She raised her chin slightly and acted cool.

Alakazam and Lucario stood awkwardly in the corner, not even having time to swallow the snacks in their mouths, trying hard to reduce their presence.

"So... you were the ones who didn't allow us to meet during the tournament, and you're the ones who are following me now. What are you two trying to achieve by going through all this trouble?"

Touching his chin, Firio felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry at the two men's little tempers.

"It's all because of her!"

They spoke in unison, their eyes flashing like lightning.

The super energy and the waveguide collided in mid-air, and there was no difference between them.

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

The two people who were full of hostility did not end up arguing.

Knowing that they had caused a misunderstanding, they still disliked each other, but they were both relieved in the end.

"We will move to the rooms to your left and right tomorrow. Don't try to cause trouble while you are alone!"

After a few cold words, the two of them left together, unwilling to accept each other.

Seeing the two girls who were unwilling to lose the slightest bit and who always competed for the first or second place in everything, the burden on Filio's heart eased a little. He knew that he had finally gotten through this hurdle by accident, and he didn't have to be alone like before.

He was delighted and was about to have another cup of coffee when he suddenly felt a slight tingling on his arm.

Turning his head, he saw the big-mouthed kid holding a brown paper bag, waving his big jaws and poking his arms.

"Qido~"

She happily put the paper bag on the table, raised her chin, and waited for Filio's praise.

"What is this?" Filio held the big-mouthed baby in his arms and patted its head lovingly, his eyes a little confused, "Big-mouthed baby, this is not ours, where did you find it?"

"Qido!"

Pointing to the sofa where Zhenniao had sat not long ago, Big Mouth Baby jumped up, ran lightly to the place where the paper bag was found, and pointed to the ground.

"Um... what Manatori left behind before he left?"

With a raised eyebrow and a bit of curiosity, he picked up the paper bag and a line of small words came into his eyes.

[From Mr. Filho]

......

......

The book, with its simple binding and a slight smell of ink, lies quietly on the table, looking very ordinary.

There is only one line of large characters on the simple cover, which are so powerful that they can be seen through the back of the paper, and seem to be written by a famous calligrapher.

The Mystery of the Earth

The well-known name is shocking.

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

Late at night, in an ordinary house on the outskirts of Miare.

"Master Sakaki, you are back."

Manatori, who had returned to the base earlier, heard the noise outside the door, and hurriedly ran down from the second floor. He opened the door in a hurry and welcomed back Sakaki, who was exhausted but energetic.

"I'm back. Thank you for your hard work, Mantori." Sakaki took off his heavy coat, revealing his body that used to have broad shoulders and strong muscles, but now the outline of bones can be seen through the clothes. His tone was a little weak, "The things have been delivered, right? Maybe there was a misunderstanding? It's not your fault. I was just in a good mood and chatted with him for a while."

"Yes, Master Sakaki, the things have been left in that room. He will definitely find it." After reporting the situation stiffly, Manatori held Sakaki's arm tightly and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you...? The doctor said that you can't run around for a long time and need to rest."

"I met Xiaoyin today, and also saw the girl who has a close relationship with him. I felt happy. Maybe I am old, but being a father is always like this, and it will not happen again." Sakaki, in a good mood, wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat down heavily on the sofa, took a glass of water, drank it all, and recalled the scene he saw hidden in the dark, feeling very relieved.

The former great hero showed a side different from his tough appearance in front of his perhaps most trusted subordinates.

But it was only for a moment. In the blink of an eye, the gentleness on his face quietly faded away. He sat up straight after regaining some strength, showing his dignity again and asked: "What did he say to you? Tell me, don't miss a word. He is a cautious person. I'm afraid he won't tell me some things in person, but will pass them on to me through your mouth. Although we only met once, but... he really is a bit like me when I was young."

"Yes, Lord Sakaki." Manatori nodded seriously and sat upright on the sofa opposite Sakaki. "It was almost ten o'clock tonight when we first met..."

......

......

"After Naz and Carlos's Korni Pavilion Master arrived, I lost the opportunity to continue the conversation. I could only hurriedly put down the book and text message you wanted to give him and leave in the chaos."

Manatori felt very regretful that he had a lot of things in his mind but couldn't say them to Firio. He looked at Sakaki timidly, afraid that he would blame him.

However, there was no disappointment on Sakaki's face. Instead, he was even more excited than when he first came back.

"The product of contradictions... the material and spiritual foundations... Is moderate evil the driving force of social development... That's really well said."

His hands, which had nowhere to put, rubbed back and forth on the armrests of the sofa, and Sakaki's eyes were full of emotion, an expression that even Manatori, who had followed him for many years to escape from the Alliance's pursuit, had never seen before.

Perhaps, Lord Sakaki would only have similar emotions when dueling with the one on Mt. Silver.

Thinking of this, Zhenniao lowered his head and his expression became more respectful.

"It's a pity that the people who understand me are either idealistic romantic fools or lazy guys who just watch from the sidelines. They won't walk side by side with me." He laughed at himself, and under the bright light, the red agate ring flickered. "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Zhenniao, how are the preparations over there? According to the schedule, the report should be tonight."

"Yes, Lord Sakaki, I received a progress report from there an hour ago, and everything is going according to plan." Pushing his glasses that had slipped down due to lowering his head, Managi said respectfully, "With these things, as long as we wait a little longer, you will definitely..."

Sakaki interrupted Manatori with a little displeasure: "Don't make factual judgments about an uncertain future. It's meaningless."

Zhenniao stood there in a daze.

“Time is the most unpredictable thing, and so is human life. We can ignore the specific existence of life, but we cannot ignore this macro concept. Otherwise, you will be played by it sooner or later.”

Realizing that he had just lost his composure due to his emotional fluctuations, Sakaki patiently explained, giving some advice to his loyal subordinate.

Although it may not be of much use.

"Yes, Lord Sakaki."

Lowering her head respectfully, Manatori hid her vision, and no one knew how much she understood.

But soon, she raised her head again, remembering something that seemed very important to her, and reported meticulously: "Lord Sakaki, there is one more thing that I am a little worried about."

"Tell me." Sakaki's voice sounded a little hoarse and tired.

Zhentori chose his words carefully: "Yes, I think there is nothing wrong with you giving Mr. Firion the book "The Secret of the Earth", but... I am a little worried. If such a precious book is leaked, will it have some bad consequences? After all, he is accompanied by the head of the Kalos Alliance, and we in Kalos... can be said to have a weak foundation."

"You... He's right. Even though you've followed me for many years, you may not really understand my thoughts."

Sakaki Kyon burst out laughing, held his forehead and tapped with his fingers.

"I don't understand. Please explain."

"I gave this book to an extremely terrifying and dangerous opponent in your eyes a long time ago. You were not with me at that time, and... it was not just that person. You have to remember that I wrote this book not to keep it to myself. If it can really help more people learn something from it and become truly powerful, it would actually be a pleasure for me."

Looking up, Sakaki tapped the sofa lightly with his fingers and sighed.

"Besides, he will definitely see the message I left for him on the title page. Although we only met once, I can be sure that he will not reveal my news to anyone, even to those closest to him."

"Yes, your judgment is correct. I am overthinking. Please go to bed early. We have to travel tomorrow and our schedule is still very full. You will also meet two distinguished guests tomorrow night. We will have the opportunity to meet Mr. Filho again in the future. I believe he will agree with your ideas."

Bowing humbly, Manatori's eyes were full of admiration and unconditional trust.

As the night deepened, the last light suddenly went out and everything returned to silence.

Chapter 245 Show some real skills

On the morning of March 3th, the sky was high and the clouds were light.

With Nightmare on his head, Kotaku on his left and Eevee on his right, Firion set out on the road to Miale Arena.

The quarter-final match schedule was not as tight as before, allowing him to sleep in naturally after a long absence - although he was still a little sleepy.

In the Poké Ball, the Wind Elf, who hadn't even had breakfast, was still sleeping soundly. After all, it was only at dawn that it was so excited that it barely fell asleep, and it was afraid that it would not wake up for a while.

The inspiration from the top ground master made it feel like a world of sudden enlightenment. Although it was a fairy skill, it was a god-exclusive skill that was infinitely connected to the earth. It unveiled a veil in front of it. Even though it still felt like seeing flowers in the fog, it still gave it hope of going from vague perception to true mastery.

The road is long and difficult, but the first step has been taken.

On Firion's left and right, keeping a slight distance from him, were Nancy and Korni, who finally stopped finding excuses to avoid Firion.

It seemed that they did not sleep well last night. They all looked a little listless. Kornie was yawning lightly continuously, her eyes were blurry, and she could not see the road clearly.

Fortunately, at this point, the audience had already entered the venue one after another, and there were not many people and cars on the road, so it did not have any impact.

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

The warm sunshine begins to dispel the night's chill, bringing the freshness unique to spring.

When Firio and the other two walked into the venue, a fierce competition was coming to an end on the lush green grass field.

Brilanche, who appeared first, and Zhe, who was waiting for Firio but failed to get him, started a evenly matched fight.

Two Poké Balls have been hidden under the photos of each of them, leaving only the ace still fighting on the field.

A super-powered girl who was once trapped in the constraints of her abilities and made little progress, and her Mega Gardevoir.

A veteran traveler and composite expert from Hoenn with his booted Meowth.

One moving versus one still, the outcome is almost clear.

In front of Brilanche and Gardevoir, who were trained with all their efforts by Gejihua, although Zheya struggled to hold on, he was ultimately unable to overcome the gap brought about by the transformation of his life.

Under normal circumstances, the two Pokémon have basically the same strength, but the gap between them widens as one increases while the other decreases due to mega evolution.

With the last precise fall that foresaw the future, the bruised and battered Meow Meow was no longer able to hold on, and could only fall to the ground with regret and faint.

Accompanied by the roar of magic in the gust of wind, the white beret on the girl's head flew into the air, fell from the command seat to the field, and landed on a clump of fragrant grass that was scorched by flames in the previous battle.

"Meowth has lost his ability to fight, the winner is Mega Gardevoir! The final score is 3 to 2, and Briarcrest wins!"

Warm applause was given to the super girl fighting on home soil, allowing this girl, who had been troubled by out-of-control super powers and low sense of existence, to enjoy the long-lost happiness of being the center of attention.

......

......

"You know that girl, right? She has very special superpowers. She must have suffered a lot."

In the waiting area, Nancy, who was sitting next to Firio, looked at Brilanche who was waving at the audience and said in a deep voice.

"All abilities are like this as long as they are not under control. Only those that can be used are abilities. Otherwise, they are dangerous. After all, not everyone is called Nancy and is born strong, not even Miss Cattleya."

With a calm compliment, Firio quietly held Korni's hand with his other hand on his left side. In this empty waiting area, no one would notice his bold move.

"You're the only one who can talk." Nazi, who was completely unaware of this, rolled her eyes at Firion with a smile, then stood up and walked towards the passage leading to the audience seats. "Let's go. After all, this is the waiting area, and it's not appropriate to stay too long. I'm still in the old place, so hurry up after you finish the game."

"In my opinion, the player named Zheya is pretty good, but he hasn't mega evolved, otherwise it would be hard to say who will win." After Nancy left, the player who was in the way closed her eyes and rested in another corner dozens of meters away. Korne began to let herself go, leaning on Firio's arms. It wasn't that she was deliberately going against Nancy, but she naturally went against her.

Stroking Korni's long hair, Firio smiled and said, "I know both of them. They are both very good players. They are only a little older than us. They may become very strong in the future. But you will have a match with Brilanche tomorrow. You have opposing attributes, so there may be some twists and turns."

"Hehe, in the face of absolute strength and momentum, attribute restraint is pale~! Don't underestimate me!"

Waving her little fist in a demonstrative manner, Korni made a threatening gesture and hit Firio's arm lightly with a coquettish look.

"Of course, how dare I look down on Korni?" He raised his hands in surrender with a smile, pinched Korni's soft cheek, and as she complained softly, Filio suddenly stood up and looked at the sinking green grass field, "It's my turn to go out. The time is just right."

......

......

Along with the roar of machines, the battlefield slowly emerged from the huge deep pit.

Unlike the lush green grass in the previous game, this time, Firion and his opponent were randomly placed on a barren rocky mountain.

The door to the contestant channel opened, and as the camera drone flew, Filio's smiling face appeared on the big screen. He waved gently towards the audience, looking gentle and handsome, causing screams from the audience.
