This elf world is a bit strange

But if you look closely, everything is very different and has undergone earth-shaking changes.

......

......

In Pallet Town, the Oak Research Institute welcomed a menacing guest.

Kikuko stood in front of the gate of the institute, leaning on a cane and saying nothing. Oki hurried out with a smile on his face.

"Kikuko, we haven't seen each other for many years, right? How come you have time to come to my place?"

"Why, can't an old man like me come over and take a look?" He had a lot of things to say in his heart, but when they came to his lips, they turned into cold words.

"Of course, you're always welcome to come over! It's just that you haven't always been..."

Dr. Ohki, a renowned academic leader, felt a little awkward and embarrassed at this moment. He touched his gray hair and remained silent.

"Boom"

The cane hit the smooth floor heavily, and Professor Oak was startled. He thought he had offended this old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He shuddered all over and asked with a smile:

"Don't be angry, let's come in and talk slowly. I'll ask Nanami to cook a few of her signature dishes..."

"There's nothing to talk about! The battle is just like it was fifty years ago on the Quartz Plateau. Have you regressed in all these years?"

Kikuko had a sullen face and held Gengar's Poké Ball tightly in her palm. She looked like she was going to call someone to task, but this made Professor Oak feel at ease.

He knew Kikuko's character very well and realized that this old friend, who had lost contact with her for many years, was finally no longer completely closing her heart.

Although he didn't know why, he was genuinely happy. He casually took out the Pokémon Ball of the Dinobot that he always carried with him from his waist and said with a smile:

"You are underestimating me, Kikuko. I have never slacked off in my training over the years."

After saying that, he swiftly took off his white coat, revealing the clothes underneath and his muscular body that was inconsistent with his age.

"Then let me see your current strength. Don't let me down...Xuecheng."

With a hoarse voice and slower steps than when she was young, Kikuko in the sunset is completely different from what she was back then.

Although she had taken good care of herself and had the help of ghost-type Pokémon, her beautiful face was now covered with a few wrinkles, and her brilliant golden hair was now mixed with a little gray, no longer as dazzling as it had been before.

But at this moment, Oki Yukinari seemed to have boarded the train of time again and returned to this place in his youth.

At that time, they always gathered in the private residence of the Oki family, which was not yet a research institute, to chat and talk about everything, full of youthful spirit.

The sunlight was a bit dazzling, and he couldn't help but close his eyes, but he couldn't help but feel his eyes slightly moist.

"Since you want to fight, let's have another one! The field in the backyard has been empty for some time, so today is a good time to use it. No matter how long you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end!"

Turning around, Dr. Oki threw the white coat he had taken off outside casually. Without caring about these details, he took Kikuko with him and walked briskly towards the research institute.

Today, he is no longer the scientific research flag that focuses on academics, but as the first champion of the Quartz Conference and an old friend of Kikuko, he welcomes the challenge of his former rival.

Chapter 278 Light

The dense rainforest is like a huge mouth hidden in the abyss, sometimes silent, sometimes noisy, but full of mystery.

Agile men and women walked briskly, one in front and one behind, among the tangled bushes. They did not speak, but gestured from time to time, moving forward silently but efficiently.

Several Pokémon followed closely behind the two, vigilantly scanning the surrounding plants and trees, not missing any details.

The only sounds in the dark woods were light footsteps, and it gradually became brighter in the distance.

The endless woodland above the beach finally came to an end, and the sunlight could finally shine through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the trees, which were no longer so dense.

"I don't know if the group of Dunjia from yesterday are still there. If those big flying guys hadn't caused trouble today, I would have taught them a lesson."

Walking at the junction of the woodland and the hills, Firio stopped and adjusted his breathing.

Tossing a water gem of decent quality, he looked back at Caidou, who showed no sign of fatigue, and spoke in a cheerful tone.

He had found this not long ago on the outskirts of a swamp in the forest. It was a small side dish and would soon become a snack for Emperor Nabo.

"Madge! Madge!"

On top of his head, the dream demon played with his hair and nodded in approval.

The experience of being chased and running around in a panic yesterday has made it, as petty as Firio, still feel aggrieved.

But at this time, the harsh words are just talk. Time is limited, the task is not easy, and they don't have time to mess around with a bunch of lunatics.

"Hoss~"

"Machimachi~"

As he was talking, a few Haunters and Incubi popped their heads out from the bushes, waved with a grin, and then disappeared again.

Although there are not many ghost-type Pokémon in this kind of place, thanks to the dominant aura of the Dream Demon and Firio's special Pokémon food, they still found a few to serve as guides after three days.

With their guidance, although there were some bumps in the road, the two of them were generally able to find many wild Pokémon settlements smoothly.

He took photos and reported them in one go, and his points were far ahead of others, much more than the rest of the group combined.

Looking at Firio and the Dream Demon who were singing the same tune, and then looking at the strange power beside her, Caidou smiled and was about to speak when she saw something rising into the sky not far away.

“Swoosh—bang!”

Accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air, a purple flare exploded in the air, turning into a striking pattern.

"Is this the third one, Caidou?"

After a glance from a distance, the ease in Firio's eyes disappeared for the most part, replaced by a bit of solemnity.

Caidou nodded: "...Yes, the third one."

The purple fireworks the two saw were the distress flares used by the eight contestants participating in the youth competition.

It has only been three days since we landed, and we have already sent out our third distress signal.

According to the information the two had when they returned to the camp yesterday, the first two distress signals directly eliminated a two-person team and a lone ranger, including the trainer from Johto.

At present, apart from the two of them, there should only be a group of two trainers from Sinnoh and a lone ranger from the Padia region.

And now, in just the morning, at least one more person has been eliminated.

As for the alliance investigators whose strength was not as good as those of the others, even if they cooperated well, they were still surrounded by dangers. There were six teams with only two of them participating in the rescue.

But for the two people who had already explored many places on the island, this situation was not surprising.

After all, even though the two of them were much stronger than everyone except Kona, they still encountered considerable challenges after going deep into the island.

Yesterday afternoon, they were a little careless and encountered a huge group of Donjia with several King-level combat power, chasing them relentlessly. They had to cross the forest and retreat to the camp to rest temporarily.

Different from the Donjia we see in the outside world, this group of Donjia is not only incredibly strong, but also has a very strange side.

After just a brief fight, the two discovered that their armor seemed to be exceptionally hard and had faint bulges.

Moreover, even those individuals whose strength is not outstanding are much larger than their ordinary counterparts.

Unsurprisingly, this special intelligence earned them a large amount of points, putting them on par with their competitors in the real-time rankings, much higher than the sum of all their competitors.

But the existence of this special group also sounded a wake-up call for them, making them more cautious.

Now, seeing that they were likely to encounter powerful wild Pokémon competitors again, the two could only sigh and continue their exploration.

Just as they were about to go deeper, Filho's watch suddenly received a communication.

Kona's voice came out, a little vague, but one could also hear a bit of anxiety:

"Filio, there is a distress signal coming to my watch near you. I am on the other side of the island now. The flying Pokémon here are in a bad state and there are too many of them. I can't get through in a short time. You two go and provide support. It's those same Donkey Kongs from yesterday. Be careful and rescue them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the call was disconnected and a notification tone of points arrival sounded on both of their watches at the same time, leaving them no room for refusal.

Very Kona style.

"Then let's go. According to Kona, the sky may not be that dangerous anymore."

"it is good."

The two looked at each other and nodded slightly.

A moment later, white light exploded, and the Dragonite soared into the sky, flying towards the eye-catching mark in the sky.

......

......

In the hilly area about a few kilometers away from Firion, Eberic and Pep, who were traveling together, were running away in a panic like headless flies.

Not far behind him was a group of Donja warriors numbering in the hundreds, but their formation was more shocking than that of thousands of troops.

The earth was shaking as they charged. Trees fell down, bushes and weeds turned into debris, and even hard rocks were crushed to dust if they stood in their way.

They are so aggressive that they have only one goal at this time, which is to completely destroy the enemies who dare to step into their territory.

"Toxic Algae Dragon, use poison!"

"Bronze bell, strong mental power to protect!"

It is common sense that two legs cannot outrun four legs, especially when four legs can sometimes roll.

Seeing the pursuers approaching, the two men exchanged glances and gave orders at the same time.

The venom in the sky turned into purple rain under the impetus of superpowers and sprinkled into the dense formation of the Donjia.

Then an invisible barrier appeared in front of the queue, knocking down the fastest few Dunjia.

In an instant, people and horses were thrown to the ground. The two men who had a chance to catch their breath quickly quickened their pace and ran towards the forest with complex terrain in the distance.

Even though both of them were powerful quasi-Elite trainers, and were not much weaker than Qiao at the beginning, they could only run away when faced with a large group and several Elite Pokémon hiding in the formation and waiting for an opportunity to strike.

In fact, if it weren't for the coordinated Pokémon like Bronze Bell and Toxicanthus that provided interlaced cover, escaping would have been difficult.

This was indeed the case. The two Pokémon's all-out attack only caused the Donkey Kong group to be slightly confused for a moment.

Led by the huge leader of the tribe, they quickly reorganized their formation and continued to chase forward.

"Damn it! I didn't steal his child. I just took a look at its butt. Is it necessary to chase after it like this?!"

During his almost tumbling escape, Eberic felt both angry and regretful.

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so greedy and would have just been doing things outside! Now I've implicated you!"

As he complained to himself, he was so tired that he didn't notice the strong wind behind him.

"Be careful! Hide!"

At the critical moment, thanks to the taciturn Pep who grabbed his arm, he was able to avoid the flying sharp stones.

"Stop talking and save your energy to run. Firio and Caidou will be here soon. They are stronger than us. We can get away!"

As Eberic took a deep breath with lingering fear, Pep came up to him and shouted, calling his companion back to his senses, then turned around suddenly.

"Bronze Bell, Psychic Suppression! Swampert, I leave it to you, full-strength Earthquake!"

The spinning Poké Ball released the blue beast. With a deafening roar, a gully was forcibly created between the complex hills, blocking the path of the Donjia group and slightly widening the gap again.

The earth-shaking noises made by the two finally pointed the direction for Philio in the sky.

Dense meteorites fell like rain, slamming into the ranks of the Donja group. The indiscriminate offensive just happened to coordinate with the earthquake of Swampert, knocking the Donja group to the ground and causing chaos.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Firion gave an order and Dragonite swooped down from high altitude. Its superpower turned into a large light blue hand, which pulled hard and pulled the two men onto the dragon's back at the moment they crossed.

It floated into the air, leaving only the Donja leader on the ground roaring angrily.

Although there is no doubt that the two of them cannot defeat the huge tribe in front of them in a head-on confrontation, as long as they don't try a few moves like they did yesterday, at this moment when most of the flying Pokémon are nowhere to be found, these beasts that are showing off their power on the ground will still be unable to do anything to him.

However, he didn’t know if it was Firio’s illusion, but he always felt that with the roar of the Donjia leader, the bulge on the shell seemed to become more obvious.

......

......

In mid-air, Eberic kept chattering to express his gratitude and the thrill of the moment, while Pep was silent. After thanking him, he sat cross-legged aside and silently bandaged his arm which was scratched while saving Eberic.

On the ground, the Donjia group saw that they had no way to deal with the Dragonite flying high in the sky, and after launching several rounds of attacks in vain, they had to retreat.

The entire tribe ran towards the center of the island in a very disciplined manner. The injured companions were protected in the middle, and the strongest few King Pokémon were scattered everywhere, monitoring Dragonite in the sky.

"Okay, you're basically safe now." Looking at the Dunjia disappearing like the receding tide, Firio breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the two people who were still in shock, and asked, "Do you need me to put you back to where you were just now? You should be able to return to the camp by yourself."

"What about you?" Eberic pounded his sore legs. "How do you plan?"

"As for me... I plan to follow those Dongars from a distance and go to their territory to have a look. Dongars are a type of Pokémon that don't have a strong sense of territory. They suddenly became so crazy and so weird. I think it may have something to do with their territory."

Looking thoughtfully at the receding traces of the Donjia group, then looking at the empty sky around him, Firion slowly expressed his guess.
