This elf world is a bit strange

"……Yes."

Vladali's eyes were somewhat complicated. He lowered his head vaguely and turned away.

Until his figure disappeared and the heavy door slowly closed, the man in black who had been sitting behind the desk slowly stood up and gently pressed his right hand on his left wrist, whose muscles were surging like a sea.

At the same time, his chest began to rise and fall violently, accompanied by rapid breathing, and a faint smell of blood filled the air.

His injuries are much more serious than they appear, and I don't know how long it will take him to recover.

But it was not difficult to tell from his determined eyes that he did not care about it. Instead, he looked at his wrist, thoughtfully.

"I didn't expect that compared to that barren world, this rich place actually has so many monsters... But it doesn't matter." The man in black stared at Mewtwo who quietly opened his eyes in the glass container with cold eyes, "One day, you and I will truly become one with the resources of this world, old friend. At that time, you will be my best weapon, clearing all obstacles for me."

"As for now...what you did only caused me a little pain, but I care least about pain. And I believe that you are not the only one...no one can stop me, no one."

Chapter 285: Oak Research Institute: Second Battle with a Strong Rival

Information about the battle on the high seas was delivered to high-level officials in various regions within a few days.

After learning about the fate of the tournament champion, Pokémon Leagues in multiple regions expressed strong dissatisfaction through official channels to the Kanto League and the Pokémon League headquarters in Quartz Plateau.

Especially President Ross of Galar and Chairman Adali of Kalos, the two of them arrived at the Quartz Plateau almost at the same time, blocking the headquarters of the Kanto Alliance with full anger.

Later, with the personal intervention of President Damalanqi, the mess that had also implicated the regional youth competition was temporarily settled.

Taking this opportunity, a secret high-level meeting was also launched on the Quartz Plateau.

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

Five days later, in Pallet Town, at the backyard of the Oak Research Institute, the battle field had just been renovated.

Caidou, who had just recovered from her injuries, should have returned to Galar as soon as possible under the leadership of Ross and Olivia, but she did not do so.

Just as Firion rejected the persuasion of Adali and Gejihua, she also chose to stay in Kanto for the time being.

Although the annual youth competition ended up with an unclear result, the idea of ​​a winner between the two will not change.

"So, why did these two young men come to my place for the game?"

Professor Oak sat in the stands, looking at Kikuko and Hiba on his left and right, then at Kin and Gin who were eager to try, and Nancy, the referee who almost made the old man admit his mistake.

Originally, this should have been Korni's position, but unfortunately, before she could volunteer, Ge Jihua grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and pulled her onto the chairman's plane back to Carlos, leaving her with only pitiful complaints and grievances.

But for the elderly Professor Oki, it makes no difference.

At this moment, he still didn't understand what had happened. He just felt that the venue that he had just repaired with great difficulty seemed to be in risk of being scrapped again.

And a decoration company far away in Tokiwa City seemed to have a big business again.

"The super kid said that we can't destroy his girlfriend's place, and the misers in Quartz Plateau don't want to keep them there, so~ after thinking about it, I suggested that he come here~"

Ajin was grinning. Having escaped from the siege of the Dodo and Aunt Kona again, he was now extremely arrogant and full of arrogance.

Seeing Professor Oak's fist clenched instinctively, the fearless Jin Laowu also sensed something was wrong, and instinctively dodged behind Xiba and added:

"Old man Damu, let me tell you, Grandma Kikuko also agrees with this, so you can't just stare at me!"

"She...Okay, since it's Kikuko who said so. Nanami! Is the tea ready?"

Professor Oak's eyes widened and he was about to refute, but when he saw Kikuko's calm gaze, he decisively chose to follow his heart.

Money is something outside of our body. How can it compare to old friends?

At worst, I can just ask the Kanto Alliance for more funds...

Hearing his call, his thoughtful granddaughter and assistant hurried over from outside, bringing freshly brewed tea. The aroma filled the air, forming a sharp contrast to the fierce competition on the battlefield.

"Granny Kikuko, have some tea! Is this the champion of this year's Kalos and Galar tournament? Young people are so energetic~! Qinglu would definitely be happy to see him, but it's a pity that he went to Silver Mountain again. I don't know what he was doing this time. He ran away in a hurry without even saying hello."

Ooki Nanami sat beside Kikuko, handed her the sweetened scented tea that the old woman had specially requested, gently smoothed her hair on her forehead, and smiled leisurely and peacefully.

"A fool who is always causing trouble and not doing anything good messed things up a few days ago. Now I'm afraid they have to take action. So he wants to discuss it with the Red Boy on Silver Mountain."

Kikuko was obviously still angry at A'du's self-willed behavior. She took a sip of tea and said mercilessly.

Xiba on the side remained calm but nodded repeatedly.

Unconsciously, the fighting master who once believed in A'du the most also saw his reckless nature and chose to stand in the same trench with his other two good friends of different ages.

"...I see. Got it, Grandma Kikuko, please have some tea first. I have some things to do at the research institute, so I'll take my leave now."

Hearing Kikuko calling that "idiot who is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything", Nanami, who knew the identity of the idiot very well, felt a little embarrassed. She didn't know whether to respond or not, so she had to quickly stand up, exchange a glance with her grandfather, and hurried away, leaving this place of trouble.

But before leaving, she turned her head again and saw the fierce collision on the field.

Nazhi's cold voice reached her ears, as if it reminded her of something. She smiled and left.

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

"King Nabo and the Line Soldier have both lost their ability to fight! The score is now 3-3, and both teams have replaced their Pokémon at the same time!"

The head-on confrontation between Water Stream Explosion and Close Combat simultaneously robbed the two Supreme Pokémon of their last strength, and created countless spider-web-like cracks on the already broken field, spreading outward with the ground beneath the two Pokémon as the center.

In the head-to-head contest, the two people of equal strength confronted each other and were evenly matched.

Just as Firio gained a lot under Kikuko's guidance, Caidou, who received the dedicated teaching of the world's strongest fighter, Hiba, became much stronger than expected. His close combat force technique was even better than the level summarized by Professor Oak.

As the saying goes, every profession has its specialties. Fighting-type Pokémon and top fighters are always best at hand-to-hand combat, and have their own unique understanding and comprehension of the details.

In order to be fair to the colored beans that had damaged the Dynamax Band in the previous battle, Firion did not use Mega Evolution to fight. Kotaku and Dragonite were defeated in the battles with the Scallion Soldier and Hatchling respectively.

At this moment, the evenly matched strength of Emperor Nabo, who was highly expected by both sides, and the soldiers in formation made the battle even more intense.

"Come back, Emperor Napo, you did a good job." With a flash of red light, Filio calmly took back the Emperor Napo and smiled at Caidou, whose face was tense and serious. "Come to think of it, are we back to the situation in Haruka City? A fair three-on-three."

"...That's right. Besides, I will win this time too." Caidou nodded carefully and picked up her Poké Ball silently. "Thank you for your hard work, formation soldier. Leave the rest to us."

The same situation gave her a completely different feeling.

Even the hidden trump card formation soldiers that were not deployed in the Palace Gate Conference failed to win a single point.

This was certainly due to the fact that they had fought side by side on Rainbow Island and knew each other well, so there was no element of suddenness, but the influence was also two-way, as she also knew the true strength of Firion's rapidly improving Pokémon.

Now, the three Pokémon that are still able to engage in such an intense battle on both sides are also the three that previously fought against each other in Haruka City.

They smiled at each other, knowing what the other was thinking, and threw out the Poké Balls at the same time.

"Wind Fairy, I leave it to you!"

"Please, Octopus Master!"

The same scene as a year ago, the same pair of enemies appeared on the scene again.

......

......

Times have changed and the situation is very different.

Caidou's Octopus Warrior is still swift and tricky, and is equipped with the Claw of Preemption. There is no doubt that in Caidou's tactical layout, it is specifically used to counter the agile Wind Fairy and Sun Eevee.

As soon as it appeared on the scene, this huge but agile giant octopus launched a tidal attack. The dense octopus barrel cannons were like ink rain falling from the sky, bombarding in the wind direction.

But things are different now. Firion's wind fairy is much more experienced than a year ago and is no longer the naive newcomer who could be knocked down in just a few hits.

As it dodged and moved, its figure moved around above the bumpy ground, using the acceleration of the tailwind to sway left and right, maintaining a steady distance from the Octopus Warrior, making it difficult for the Octopus Warrior to get close.

The scattered ink residues were all over the battlefield, entangled with the broken leaves, making a mess.

Even though it was just a tentative mutual consumption, both sides showed their true abilities and fought on equal terms.

After several attempts, the Wind Fairy sensed the Octopus Warrior's impatience, realized his opportunity, made eye contact with Firion, and suddenly landed on the ground.

The petite feet stood firmly on the ground, and the ochre-colored earth energy poured into the body like a whale.

Suddenly, the wind fairy's body even grew stronger.

After the battle underground on Rainbow Island, it gained a deeper understanding of the mysteries of the earth.

"Octopus Warrior, charge forward! Grab it!"

Caidou, who vaguely sensed the impending crisis, was thinking quickly. She waved her hand and ordered the Octopus Warrior to speed up again. She wanted to rush to the wind fairy before the fairy launched its attack, trap it with the Octopus's binding technique, and replicate the result of the previous duel.

But this time, even the Eight-clawed Warrior with the combat power of a king found it difficult to suppress the Wind Fairy in terms of speed.

A bright moon appeared between the two Pokémon, and Firio gave a loud order: "Wind Fairy, power of the moon, stop it!"

"Elu!"

With a sly smile of revenge on his face, the Wind Fairy raised his arms high, and a scorching beam of light shot out from the shadow of the bright moon, landing straight on the charging Octopus Warrior and forcibly knocking it back.

Not only that, with a stomp of her little feet, several seeds hidden in the ink marks that had been silently scattered on the ground during the clash of flying leaves and sharp swords also took the opportunity to sprout and directly entangled the body of the Eight-clawed Martial Artist.

In an instant, green vines covered its entire body.

Along the invisible silk thread, the Octopus Warrior's physical strength was continuously transferred into the body of the Wind Fairy. As one gained, the other lost, and the situation immediately reversed.

Although it does not have the advantage in strength in the team, it becomes the breakthrough point to deal with the practical and foolproof person like Caidou. It uses the weak against the strong and directly drags the Octopus Warrior into a dilemma.

"this……!"

Caidou's pupils shrank slightly, and a look of surprise spread across her face.

Even she had not expected that the Wind Fairy, who was now much stronger than before, could actually repel the attack of the Octopus Warrior directly. She had not expected that the Octopus Barrel Cannon, which was originally her own attack method, would become a part of the plot against her.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and in the blink of an eye, the Poké Ball was in his palm.

"Is this Sakaki's secret of the earth, Kikuko?"

In the stands, the experienced Professor Oak turned his head and asked.

"Although this kid has learned a lot of things, and he is a bit scatterbrained, he has also developed his own style. He has not become a flowery figure who bites off more than he can chew. So he is still decent, I guess."

Kikuko nodded, with a hint of approval in her eyes.

"Coming from your mouth, this is a high compliment."

Professor Oak smiled and looked at Hiba on the other side. Unlike Kikuko, he was a little serious at this time. His lips moved slightly and he stared at the field intently.

There, Caidou, who was in a critical situation, did not hesitate and immediately took back Octopus Warrior and released another Pokémon of hers, which had not yet broken through to the King level but was not far away, and had accumulated energy of 58 levels of War Dancer.

As soon as it appeared on the stage, it was spinning upside down at high speed. Its speed increased to the extreme in a blink of an eye. It used the ink-slippery field to maneuver at high speed, looking for the flaws of the wind fairy, which was a feast for the eyes.

But this time, the wind fairy, who was also good at high-speed combat, did not choose to fight speed with speed. Instead, he kept his feet on the ground and locked onto the target with the help of the feedback from the earth with a wave of his hand, using powerful magic to shine.

The light pink glow was at a tricky angle, and no matter how Zhan Wulang maneuvered, he would eventually follow it like a shadow, heading straight for its path.

"Zhan Wulang, push forward and use the triple spin attack!"

Caidou made a judgment instantly and sighed, and had no choice but to make a tough decision.

The rotating Zhan Wulang's expression became solemn, and his speed increased by three times. He endured the burning of the light beam and forced a breakthrough, going straight to the front of the wind fairy. His feet and long tail condensed white energy at the same time.

"bang bang bang"

Three almost connected whips simultaneously chopped on the soft cotton on the side of the wind fairy, knocking it away. The condensed frost turned into countless ice fragments before it could hook and fell all over its body.

"Good fight!"

Shiba in the stands was cheered up and applauded his disciples loudly.

"Oh... that may not be the case."

Kikuko sneered and just glanced at Xiba lightly, which made him feel creepy.

Between the two of them, an old but sharp gaze was looking at Zhan Wulang who was about to spin into the air and deliver a winning blow.

Professor Oak, who understood the situation, smiled but said nothing. He just held his chin leisurely, thinking about something.

"Zhan Wulang, one more three...!"

On the field, the excited Caidou was about to press on with her victory, but suddenly she was stunned.

In front of her, Zhan Wulang, who was about to take off into the air with the help of the inertia of rotation, suddenly felt his whole body sink, and balls of white cotton emerged from all over his body.

It turned out that at the moment of the collision, countless tiny spores had poured out of the wind fairy's body and fell on it without a trace.

At this moment, the wind fairy who had achieved his goal was also hovering in the air. He showed no sign of losing his balance. Instead, he seemed to be retreating at the cost of being injured, thus widening the distance again.

This time, with its arms raised high, it used its true decisive technique.

The shadow of the bright moon reappeared, and the beam of light from the moon fell down with a bang, shining squarely on Zhan Wulang.

"boom--"

Under the blow of the bright moonlight, the fragile Zhan Wulang was seriously injured and fell into the distance like a kite with a broken string.
