This elf world is a bit strange

The invisible aura spread out in all directions, breaking through the barrier of the king in one fell swoop.

It had already gained enough strength to fight head-on with the king of Pokémon during the life transformation brought about by mega evolution, and now it was even more out of control.

The style of the strongman was fully displayed, and his ferocious jaws were like repeatedly swinging heavy fists, which vividly demonstrated the principle that an inch shorter means an inch more dangerous. Even though the shield sword monster was stronger, in the face of such an offensive posture, it had to temporarily avoid the edge and was defeated.

At a angle that it didn't notice, the Solevaton that had been using its psychic powers to support Mega Garchomp had disappeared, and was replaced by the Dream Witch that was just chasing after Mimikyu, and the Armored Dragon that was chasing from another direction.

The scales that fell to the ground gave the skilled fighting dragon a speed powerful enough to suppress the reaction speed and a strength that was no less than that of Dragonite.

The shining dragon claw flashed from the flank, drawing a graceful arc, and landed heavily on the left arm of the Shield Blade Monster holding the shield, breaking its king's shield again.

At the same moment, the dream demon, who had escaped from the battlefield with the help of the exchange of venues, also shot out the indestructible shadow ball again with full of fighting spirit.

“Jilka?!”

The crisis of being attacked from three sides made the Shieldsword roar in fear. The surging spiritual energy surrounded its body, but it was unable to penetrate the psychic shackles built by Firion and Sol Eevee.

At the critical moment, it burst out with all its strength to withstand the claw attack of the staff-tailed scaly-armored dragon. It raised its scarred left arm to its chest, and the surging energy instantly turned into an indestructible spherical light curtain.

"boom--"

Mega Mouth's Iron Head and Nightmare's Shadow Ball could only retreat in vain in front of it and return empty-handed.

But this is far from the end. Just as the Shieldsword tried to retreat and reunite with the Mimic Hill, the thick dragon tail swung out again, but not to knock it away, but to swing it like a long whip, tightly wrapping around its body.

Especially the sword body and the shield attached to the sword body.

"Gilka!"

Seeing the smirk of success on Mega Mouth's mouth, the Shield Sword Monster realized that he had fallen into a trap and called out to Kikuko behind him, but got no response at all.

All it could see were the steel jaws and fangs that kept enlarging before its eyes, and the dark energy wrapped around them that made it feel a chill.

"Click——"

Under the combined impact of shattering metal and stone, the purple vertical pupils also lost their luster and slowly closed, just like a tightly wrapped scabbard, falling to the ground dejectedly.

"boom--"

In the last moment before its consciousness sank, a sharp explosion entered its mind.

......

......

While the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon was binding the Shield Sword Monster tightly, Kikuko was in a dilemma and had no time to take care of other things.

With the help of the barrier of the King's Shield and the detonation of the Shadow Ball, the Dream Demon, who had only made a feint, took advantage of the thrust of the explosion and retreated instead of advancing.

From the very beginning, its goal was not to defeat the Aegisblade with its two companions. Its real goal was only one, which was to follow Firion's tactics and attack the enemy while rescuing them.

"Madge!"

The petite black figure rushed straight towards Kikuko, who was left defenseless and empty in front of her, like an arrow shot from a bow.

"Mimi!"

Mimikyu, who had been Kikuko's personal bodyguard for many years, was eager to protect his master, and seeing this, he left the Sun Eevee in front of him without saying a word, and rushed back to help at all costs, just as Firion had planned.

This also gave him the opportunity to adjust calmly.

At the last moment, his means of winning was still the tactic that Kikuko had always disliked since she lost to Oki, head-on combat.

Seeing that everything was ready as planned, he, who had been standing quietly in the same place since the beginning of the war, suddenly waved his hand and said loudly:

"Final attack, Incubus, Sol, super combo attack!"

"Madge!"

"Buy!"

With a unison cry, the charging Nightmare and the sideways Sol Eevee joined forces, and their overwhelming force formed a river of super energy that crushed them in an instant.

"Click——"

The barrier that Mimikyu had hastily erected shattered, and the light green barrier of light turned into stars and scattered on the ground. It was the first to be hit, like a grain of sand in a torrent, and flew backwards powerlessly under the impact of the shadow ball, and landed at Kikuko's feet.

"bang"

The Pikachu-shaped puppet trembled continuously, but was ultimately unable to get up. It gradually became motionless while swaying.

The remaining power of the super-powered combined attack also came to an abrupt end in front of Kikuko, because the unfathomable purple figure had already stood firmly, and with a wave of his hand, Firio's strongest trump card skill was eliminated into nothingness.

"Machi~Machi~!"

"Buy!"

However, Ogre and Solevil, whose offensive was broken, did not look discouraged at all. Instead, they cheered enthusiastically.

At the same time, Arbok, King Nabo, and Dragonite, who were still fighting fiercely behind them, also stopped what they were doing and stood up.

One side was filled with disbelief and frustration, while the other side's eyes were filled with the pride and honor of a winner.

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

"Gengga~!"

When the smoke cleared, Gengar, with a grin on his face, patted Firion's shoulder carelessly and winked at the giggling little Dream Demon nearby, expressing his congratulations and joy, completely ignoring Kikuko's increasingly dark face.

According to the agreement before the game, if Kikuko is forced to send out Gengar, or is forced to send out a sixth Pokémon, it will be considered a victory for Firion.

In the final collision just now, with Mimikyu and Aegisblade being defeated almost indistinguishably, Kikuko, who had lost four Pokémon, had no choice but to send out her sixth Pokémon, and Gengar was the only choice.

Even Doronbaruto might not be able to block the massive super-powered combined attack.

This obviously made the old man, who had been arrogant all his life, find it difficult to accept for a while.

Especially in the face of the decisive battle tactics that Firio came up with.

“Shua——Boom!”

"Geng Ga?!"

The swift and powerful crutch hit Gengar's head hard, causing it to let out an exaggerated scream and flee like the wind, but in the wrong direction.

This time, the beaten beast did not run into the shadows, but leaped directly behind Firion, revealing most of its round body, and made all kinds of faces at its trainer, provoking Kikuko's fragile nerves.

It's like dancing with torches next to a pile of dry wood.

Kikuko was furious, but seeing Firion's faint smile and Gengar's fearless look, she could only suppress her temper for the time being, walked forward, and said in a hoarse voice:

"You won this time, you did a good job."

"Senior, you should have let me go. If you had gone all out, even I wouldn't have been able to hold out for a few rounds." Firio bowed his head humbly, but the brilliance in his eyes never faded. "I have gained a lot from your previous teachings, but there is one question I would like to discuss with you."

"Go ahead." Kikuko narrowed her eyes. She had guessed what Filio was going to say.

"As you said, victory is the goal of all tactics, and I have always believed that. However, I believe that whether it is the path of a trainer or the path of life, there is only progress and no retreat. If there is no final bit of determination, there will be no courage to move forward. This is also the most important truth you have taught me in battle after battle. I think you should also have this passion."

Facing the old man's spirit forged in the blood and gore, Firio looked calm and his body was still as straight as a pine tree.

"you……"

Looking at Firio's neither humble nor arrogant appearance, Kikuko seemed to see herself and her friends decades ago.

They were also full of vigor and vitality at that time, but times have changed and everyone has taken a path different from their ideals.

The obsession that had lingered in her heart for most of her life, which was both the driving force for her to climb bravely in the first half of her life and the shackles that prevented her from reaching the top in the second half of her life, slowly loosened at this moment.

"You're just a brat, you've just achieved some success, but you're already teaching me a lesson!"

Amidst the scolding and laughter, Kikuko looked at Firio with satisfaction, raised her cane and pretended to hit him, but she did not bring it down for a long time, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"If you hadn't taken care of me, how could I dare to say such a thing?"

Smiling, he touched Gengar's big round head, skillfully dodged the licking, and Firion walked forward and bowed.

"Thank you for not abandoning me. Your teachings during this period will benefit me for the rest of my life, Master Kikuko."

"...You are just a nice guy who only knows how to say nice things."

The crutch that was held high was slowly lowered and heavily supported on the ground. Even though she was using both hands, it was still slightly shaking. Kikuko blinked hard, and the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter them.

After hesitating for a moment, the old man turned his back and said in a muffled voice: "I never said that I would accept you as my disciple so easily. Whether you can pass on my skills depends on your own ability!"

However, before the old woman could finish her words, the Pokémon surrounding her, some eager to try or just waking up, had already rushed towards Firion, who had a happy look on his face.

Except for Arbok who was still cleaning the cotton on his body bit by bit and was a little slow.

"Chabo..."

The purple snake, who looked rough on the outside but was actually pretty on the inside, glanced at his old partner, who had a gloomy face but eyes full of joy. He was already well aware of her inconsistency.

He swam forward slowly, wrapped his body, which was still covered with cotton, around her, rubbing her again and again, and finally steadying the old woman's body, which was shaking with excitement.

Not far behind him, Firion was thrown high into the air by a group of Pokémon, led by Gengar, who liked to watch the fun and was not afraid of trouble, and assisted by the equally dishonest Dragonball. He did not fall down for a long time.

Chapter 276 Reunion

As the saying goes, when it rains continuously, you don’t know spring is gone, and when it clears up, you don’t

The sky is high and the clouds are low, with white clouds scattered here and there, making the sky appear a deep blue.

The lush green mountains are boundless and connected together, blending with the distant sky.

The small wooden house does not look like a man-made object and blends in with the mountains and rivers.

The only hint of the worldly atmosphere is the wisps of smoke rising from the kitchen.

"Your cooking skills are really good. After you leave, Gengar and the others will probably need some time to adapt. Their appetites are similar to those of young people like you."

At the dinner table, Kikuko looked at the table full of sumptuous lunch, moved her chopsticks slightly, and nodded contentedly. She looked at Firio, who was eating in a very elegant manner but not slowly at all, with a smile in the corner of her eyes.

"You have to train every day, and you have to make light meals for someone like me who can't eat heavy food. It's hard for you."

"Look at what you said. I feel relieved that you are satisfied with the food." Filio put down the rice bowl and wiped the rice grains from the corners of his mouth without leaving a trace. He smiled softly, "Besides, it is summer after all. It is a good thing to eat a little lighter. It is good for the body. I also hope that I can have a good body like you in a few decades."

"Me? I'm not in good health. I've been tossing around with you for nearly a month. I'm afraid I need to rest for a few days after I go back." Pointing at herself, Kikuko laughed dumbly, but she was also very happy to hear Filio's compliment. "You are still young and strong. You can withstand the tossing. It will be different when you are older."

As her mood improved, her appetite also improved. Especially when she saw the little dream fairy and the wind fairy eating enthusiastically, Kikuko herself seemed to be able to eat more. She picked up some fresh vegetables and boiled fish and ate them with gusto.

As an old Kanto native, her taste is completely different from Carlos.

After eating the tender and smooth fish meat, even the picky old man couldn't say a word of objection, and his eyes were filled with indescribable satisfaction.

If when they first met, I still thought that this young man and the little dream demon were talented and had the qualities that were suitable for carrying my abilities, I would have more thoughts of cherishing their talents.

Now, after spending more time together, Kikuko feels a little closer to him.

Having been single all her life, she doesn't have many relatives or friends to spend time with in her old age, except for her younger sister who lives far away in a foreign country.

In a sense, the appearance of Philio was a kind of mutual help between them, adding some bright colors to her later life that were different from the past.

It was like a younger generation who was eloquent but also knew his limits had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

However, we all have to meet again someday. The start of the regional youth competition is just around the corner, and the time to say goodbye is also coming.

......

......

"It's called a regional youth competition, but in the final analysis, it's just alliances from all over the country competing for face. Improving one's own strength is the basis of everything."

"But that being said, we still have to win. After all, you are my disciple, Kikuko. If you lose to those useless youngsters, I will lose face."

"However, it won't be so easy for you to win this time. The girl named Caidou who you had an appointment to fight with has not been idle during this period. She and Xiba have been training in the Seven Islands for a long time. You can't let your guard down."

"When you get to the Quartz Plateau, go to my special training ground. It's all ready for you. You can train there during the competition. No one will disturb you. At least you can have some quiet time. All your stuff is there too. If anything breaks, just have them fix it."

"When the finals come, I will go to watch it live. Just based on the temper of that kid named Roz from Galar, he will definitely schedule your match as the last one."

"Let that kid Xiba see that not only can he not beat me, but his disciples will not be a match for my disciples either. Do you understand?"

"..."

During the last meal, Kikuko talked more, but her tone was not as strict and harsh as during the training. Instead, her chatter was mixed with care, kindness, and a strange sense of comparison.

While eating his meal, Firio nodded in agreement. Although he secretly criticized the inexplicable and subtle fight between the two Four Heavenly Kings seniors, he seemed very well-behaved.

"Gengga|?ω?｀)"

"I can't even stop your mouth with rice!"

"Boom-"

"Machiヾ(≧▽≦*)o"
