This elf world is a bit strange

Melissa smiled without saying a word but was in a playful mood. With a small gesture, Wind Ball appeared from the darkness, waving a ribbon and tied up Gengar and Haunted Eyes together.

Together with the little dream demon who came in first and two dream demons who joined in the fun, for a moment, the dark purple ghost energy was lingering and fluctuating around them, which was quite interesting.

"There's no such thing as a superpower research group. It's clearly a gathering of ghost experts~"

Feeling the familiar breath beside her, Furong straightened her chest with pride at the young age when she was worth billions. At the same time, she came up with a new idea.

"It would be great if we could get old lady Kikuko involved. She's very strong, but she has a bad temper. She seems very fierce every time we meet."

Matsuba shrugged: "After all, when Granny Kikuko was young, she was a strong fighter who could compete with Senior Liu Bo and Professor Oak. She is also a standard old-school trainer. She is still a little different from us, which is understandable."

"That's right, the old man still can't quite understand the beauty of our current battle ~ just like Uncle Genji ~" Furong nodded in agreement, and even felt that Matsuba was a little more pleasing to the eye.

Firion did not dare to answer such a dangerous question, but looking at the seniors of the research group who were talking and laughing around him, he suddenly had a doubt and asked with a smile:

"Speaking of which, we are called the Psychic Research Society, but I have been a member for more than a year, and I don't think I have seen any specific research. So, this is actually more like a psychic and ghost attribute trainer association?"

"We did some research at the beginning. For example, we did some research on Cattleya's mental power going berserk. Although we couldn't completely control it, we could effectively limit it."

Before the three of them could answer, Nancy's voice floated in from a distance.

Turning around, the tall Liying walked towards them, with Lila in a lavender suit beside her. Two little rascals with lumps on their heads from calling her "Auntie Naz" again followed behind them dejectedly.

The glimmer of superpowers moved a few chairs and placed them steadily around the people. It also moved Furong and her chair out to make room for Nancy.

Sitting next to Firion, ignoring the screaming Furong, Nancy pointed at Wu Song who was drinking and chatting with Gejihua and Lip in the distance, and continued:

"But over time, especially after some guys like Wu Song and the guy in front of you, and the two brats behind me revealed their true nature, it slowly evolved into this."

After taking a faint glance at Furong, Xiaofeng and Xiaonan, the trio from Hoenn suddenly lost their noisy momentum and lowered their heads obediently.

"Isn't this good?" Lila said with a smile, "There's no need to be too serious, like a bunch of old scholars getting together. By the way, I just heard you say that Firion is going to show off his cooking skills to all of us today. I'm looking forward to it."

"Indeed, it's almost time. I'll go to the kitchen. I don't think I'll let you down." Looking down at his watch, Firio stood up with a confident smile on his face. "Battles may be another matter, but I'm still very confident in cooking. Even if Shimizu Tenno is here, I have the confidence to compete with him in food battle... no, compete with him."

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

"Auntie Nazi!"

"Give me some wine!"

"Boom-"

"Scallop pot? The aroma of wine is so strong that I want to drink a few more glasses! But Xiaofeng and Xiaonan can't eat too much!"

"Why does the vegetable stew have a faint meaty aroma? Especially the eggplant, it looks delicious~!"

The fresh seafood shipped from the port of Dead Leaf Town that day, combined with the various high-quality ingredients specially provided by the Golden Gym, gave Firio the space to fully display his cooking skills.

Vegetable stew from Fengxu Town, clams pot with Sala flavor, beef stewed in red wine with the flavor of Miare, honey barbecue with the flavor of Hezhong, and pan-fried salmon with the characteristics of Hoenn... From appetizers to main courses, the feast is mainly in Carlos style, and includes special dishes from all over the country, which are served one by one with the design of meat and vegetable combination and harmonious taste.

Most of the dishes are naturally prepared by a team of chefs carefully selected by Nazi and Filio, while the main dish, which is the highlight, is undoubtedly prepared by Filio himself.

The cuisine of the Kalos region is world-famous for its delicacy and creativity, and is naturally extremely difficult to prepare. However, this style is just right for a unique superpower like Firio who applies his powers to every aspect of life.

The knife skills, the heat, and most importantly, the ratio of seasonings, every step is done to perfection, attracting countless praises.

When he took off his "chef suit" and rushed back to the venue, he sat down next to Naz amid praises, and the biennial gathering officially began.

Taking the nature of the party into consideration, this meal was not a polite separate meal, but a lively communal meal.

Outside the dining table were mountains of specially prepared Pokémon food and energy cubes. While the trainers were feasting on their treats, their Pokémon also had a greatly improved meal.

When an advanced breeder doesn't think too much about energy absorption and focuses on flavor blending, no matter how picky a Pokémon's taste buds are, it will be difficult to find any problems.

There was constant laughter and joy as cups and plates were clinked. Only Xiaofeng and Xiaonan had to sit at the table with their heads swollen and swollen, looking aggrieved because of their rude remarks. Even Furong didn't want to save them.

After a while, the two men, who had turned their grief and anger into appetite, picked up their knives and forks, and ate with a ferocious manner that was totally inconsistent with their small stature. They treated the veal on the plate as a powerful enemy on the battlefield and devoured it voraciously.

......

......

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, a special video call was made from the satisfied crowd to the distant Alola region. It was both a greeting and a bit of teasing.

"You really came to us only after you had enough to eat and drink!"

Not long after, the call was connected, and Cattleya changed her lazy look, her beautiful eyes widened, and she looked like "as expected" but still angry.

However, what really caught everyone's attention was not her pretending to be angry, but the other person standing between her and Wanlong.

A cute girl with purple hair.

"Wanlong, who is this child...?"

As everyone looked at each other, Nazi asked softly, ignoring Cattleya who was still acting like a spoiled brat.

Chapter 268: Dark Tide of Alola

Seeing the puzzled faces of her colleagues in the research institute, Wanlong smiled and introduced this special guest to everyone.

Acerola, the Alola ghost girl known as the idol of the spirit world, is the captain of Ula'ula Island.

Although preparations for the Pokémon League in the Alola region have been delayed, she has similar psychic abilities to Fleur, and has become a well-known figure in the field of ghost-type Pokémon at a young age.

"Ahem~! Anyway, Miss Acerola is the new member of the research club that Wanlong and I decided to recruit, so I suggest that we organize another gathering in Alola after a while so that everyone can meet each other."

It was rare to find an excellent trainer who was of similar age and build, and whose personality was just the right mix of hot and cold, which complemented and matched each other. Cattleya cleared her throat with pretentious reserve, and her excitement could not be concealed in her words.

Well, there is absolutely no factor of feeling sad about not being able to attend this rally and looking for a reason to make up for it.

"A new member? Welcome to join us. In this way, Filio-chan will no longer be our newcomer, but a senior."

Ge Jihua stood up with a smile and waved gently to Aserola who was a little reserved on the screen.

The gentle smile made Aserola, who was already enthusiastic and cheerful, breathe a sigh of relief, and she showed her signature OVO cat-mouth smile, which was particularly cute.

"Eh?! Doesn't that coincide with my location?! Ah meh!"

Fleur was yelling and screaming exaggeratedly, but no one paid any attention to her except Firion, who grabbed the top of her head and pushed her down.

"Isn't this the moment when the ghost attribute grows stronger? What are you thinking about?"

"Oh... yeah! That's a good thing~!"

The simple-minded psychic girl became happy again. Such a straightforward train of thought reminded Firion of another "brainless" trainer who was quite famous in the Hoenn League.

After resolving the little incident involving Furong, everyone, who had more or less an understanding of Aserola's situation, stood up one after another under the leadership of Gejihua to welcome the new members of the research society.

The wine glasses were raised high, this was a moment worth celebrating for the growth of the organization - only Xiao Feng and Xiao Nan were holding juice.

"Acerola is so happy~! Thank you everyone!"

On the other side of the screen, Acerola also raised her drink cup, with a petite Mimikyu floating beside her, swaying up and down.

"Ding Dong"

[New member "Xiaoxiao Mimi" has been invited by group member "I'm so annoyed by being woken up while sleeping" to join the "Superpower Research Association" group chat. ]

Group members (14/14)

Faced with the addition of newcomers, Wusong showed off his serious self for the first time in a long time, put on the deceptive appearance of a "reliable senior", and asked about their well-being.

But soon, his illusion was exposed by Wanlong and Cattleya who knew him well, and they took out the previous chat records. He had no choice but to return to his original state in shame, sitting alone in his seat, breaking his defense and causing a burst of laughter.

Inside and outside the house, and on both sides of the screen, there is a happy atmosphere.

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

"Tell me about the situation in Alola? We are all very curious about what kind of special situation requires you to go out together."

Acerola was holding her phone outside the screen, adding friends one by one, and chattering non-stop with Xiaofeng and Xiaonan along with the excited Mimikyu.

On the other side, noticing that Wanlong and Cattleya looked a little tired, Nancy sat at the dining table and asked a question that everyone was curious about.

Although the Alola region does not have its own Pokémon League and has to rely on the help of the International Police and the neighboring Unova region for many things, their own strength is not weak at all. The matters that require the support of two of the Four Heavenly Kings at the same time must be huge.

"Something very unusual has indeed happened here in Alola. It's more serious than we expected. It's okay to tell you because it will be reported to all regions soon."

After exchanging a glance with Cattleya, Wanlong nodded slightly, resting his hands on the table, his tone becoming a little more serious, lacking some of the joy he had before.

"At first, we received news that the weak connection between the Ultra Space and the Alola region had a tendency to strengthen, and we needed to investigate. But after we got here, we found that the situation was more than just that."

"Oh? Is there anything special?" Wu Song frowned and stood up suddenly.

As one of the Four Heavenly Kings who handles most of the affairs in the Sinnoh region, he is sensitive enough to such information, and his relaxed nerves immediately tensed up.

"Don't worry, I'm going to tell Zhulan tonight." Cattleya waved her hand, signaling him to stay calm. "In general, this enhancement seems to have traces of human intervention. Although I haven't found evidence yet, according to the descriptions of the trainers here in Alola and my Miss Goth's investigation, there seems to be a group of mysterious guys here who are secretly planning something."

"But they are very cautious. We have only found a few clues so far and have not been able to find out the true identities of these people." Wanlong sighed, his expression slightly gloomy.

"Alola... the mysterious man..." Firio chewed on the fragmentary information secretly, looked at Gejihua not far away, and at her nod, he stood up and walked to the screen, looking at Cattleya and the others, "Maybe I have a clue."

Cattleya asked, "What clue? Tell me about it."

"Seniors should all know that in February of this year, we in Carlos wiped out a group of remnants of Team Flare. According to the intelligence we received, those members of Team Flare were trying to flee to the Alola region, and behind them was a group of very... very mysterious guys, who might be related to this incident."

Thinking of Claire and Bala who had "come back from the dead", Firio grinned subconsciously.

At this time, Ge Jihua also stepped forward and confirmed: "I have the same suspicion, but the previous interrogation of the captured Flare Team did not have a very good effect. The senior officer was very tight-lipped. I will report this matter to the Alliance and see if they can send someone to cooperate with you in the investigation."

"There's no need to go through so much trouble, Senior Gejihua." Cattleya waved her hand proudly, looking steadily at Gejihua and Firio, her tone full of confidence, "They are just some low-profile villains. We can handle them if we leave them to you. Just have fun without worry! If you really need help, I won't be polite to you."

"Yeah! Acerola thinks so too~!" After successfully adding all the friends, Acerola leaned closer to the screen and nodded vigorously. "Once I finish dealing with things here, I will definitely find a chance to play with everyone~ Welcome to Alola!"

The peculiar third-person self-reference, coupled with the sunny and cute smile, made Gejihua and Firio laugh, and the originally somewhat solemn atmosphere quietly relaxed.

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

After agreeing to find another time to go to Alola to organize a special gathering, the three people who were still in Alola had to go for lunch, and the video call was interrupted.

Looking at the projection screen that had turned dark again, although Wanlong and the others downplayed the situation, except for the two heartless little kids, everyone who had experienced many major events was still a little nervous. They looked at each other and saw a solemn look in each other's eyes.

"Dawu contacted us before and specifically mentioned that there may be a group of criminal organizations from other time and space. The members and strength may be much stronger than imagined."

Wu Song, who was serious and rational when doing business, propped up his arms, his eyes shining with wisdom under his glasses, and analyzed calmly.

"If this is true, then these people may have technology that we are completely unaware of. In addition, they are hiding in the dark, and no one knows what they can do. This is the biggest danger and threat."

"Just like superpowers, unknown things are always the most dangerous." The taciturn Lip picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"It is human nature to be afraid of the unknown, and it is also what criminals are best at taking advantage of. It seems that we need to pay attention to what happened to Carlos. Ge Jihua, Nancy, does your ability of prediction work for things like this? Although I don't want to admit it, you are truly first-class in this regard."

"Unfortunately, the star track of destiny did not give me any guidance in this regard. Even when I took the initiative to explore, it was still vague."

"Gejihua's foresight is stronger than mine. I don't have this kind of perception either. Even before Cattleya told us, I knew nothing about such things."

The two people who were best at predicting shook their heads one after another. A rare flash of confusion and bewilderment flashed across Nancy's eyes, which made Firio, who had been paying attention to her, particularly frightened. He held her hand calmly.

"It's normal not to see it. Don't worry about it." Wusong waved his hand, took out a notebook, and wrote down today's information line by line. "After my vacation ends and I return to Sinnoh, the investigation will begin immediately, and I will be in charge of it personally. I will inform Sirona tonight. If there is any new information, please communicate with everyone at any time. If possible, you should also report this matter to your respective alliances. My advice is to believe it is true rather than false."

As he spoke, he tore out a page of densely written words from the notebook and handed it to Nancy and Firion:

"Please make a few copies for everyone to circulate. My analysis is also included. It would be best to conduct a joint investigation with the International Police and the Pokémon Leagues of various regions to remove this dangerous nail before it causes any harm. Many things are better left unsolved sooner rather than later."

Filio looked carefully and saw that the neat, tiny handwriting had already listed all the possible scenarios. It flowed smoothly from beginning to end without any hesitation or pause, and was amazingly efficient.

Even Firio, who had already formed a fixed impression of him because of his unruly behavior in the group every day, couldn't help but change his opinion of him.

Senior Wu Song, who has a serious skin, is so reliable!

But just when Firio silently gave a thumbs up in his heart and praised Wusong, the familiar skin of the suicidal man came online again.

Perhaps the burden from the brainstorming session was too much. He, who had just been serious, leaned back in his chair, casually pushed away Xiao Feng and Xiao Nan who had come forward to make trouble, and said lazily:

"But... there's no need to worry. After all, with that stone monster and our humanoid female Tyrannosaurus, there won't be any problems~! If she exerts even one tenth of the strength she uses to squeeze us, any evil organization will be wiped out in an instant."

If you must say it, this is true, but it is a bit too sincere.

He was in such a relaxed mood that he didn't notice that Wanlong had only hung up the video but not the audio, because the three of them were still eating in the room.

then……

"Wusong, is this how you view Zhulan?"

When the screen lit up again, Cattleya, with a grain of rice still hanging from the corner of her mouth, smiled maliciously.

"I'm also surprised that you arranged Zhulan like this when we were away."

Wanlong, who was fighting fiercely with a piece of steak, raised her head. Her eyes were pure and flawless, but there was a strange sense of humor in them.

"...Can I take back what I said now? Please give me a chance because I'm helping everyone with their plans. If you keep doing this, she will really beat me to death."

Facing the crisis of life and death, Wu Song lowered his head which was distorted with frustration. With a "click", his glasses fell to the ground, making a sound that was extremely clear in the quiet room.

"Doesn't Mr. Wusong have a good relationship with the Sirona Champion? Acerola was confused."
