This elf world is a bit strange

Ye Ci pointed to the sofa beside him. Just as he finished speaking, the magic wall puppet holding drinks suddenly appeared and stood in front of the three people with a smile.

He winked at Firion imperceptibly, and the magic wall puppet that appeared here turned out to be an "old acquaintance".

It was also the one that taught Leihe a lesson before.

"Barry~"

He waved at Firio with a smile, poked Nemo's face, and the lively little guy slipped away.

Ye Ci was a little surprised: "It seems you still know this little guy?"

Firion nodded with a smile: "I met him once before when I visited Teacher Leihe on behalf of my father. This magic wall puppet has a lot of personality."

"I see..." Clavel smiled meaningfully, "It must be that Leihe hasn't cleaned her room for a long time, right?"

Nimo also said with a smile: "Teacher Leihe only has legends and stories in her mind~"

"Ahem... Stop getting off topic and get down to business."

Seeing that the old and the young were about to go astray in unison, Ye Ci quickly cleared his throat and began to correct them.

"Filio, Caidou, I have received a request for assistance from the Alliance Headquarters, but I would like you to tell me the specific situation in detail."

"Ah, yes." Filio, who was originally enjoying the show, also remembered the main business here. He took out the handwritten letter that Professor Oak gave him before leaving and gave it to Ye Ci. "Professor Oak asked me to give you this letter before leaving. It contains his analysis of the previous incident on Rainbow Island. But it cannot be confirmed yet."

The letter is not long, only two pages at most.

The two men, who had dealt with each other in their early years because of the illustration investigation, were quite familiar with each other. Professor Oak had no intention of being polite and told Ye Ci everything he knew, which made Ye Ci frown slightly.

Compared to the information from the Pokémon League Headquarters, the speculation of Professor Oak, an authority in the academic world, made her a little frightened.

"Special energy...?" After a moment's thought, she nodded slightly and looked at Firion calmly, "I understand. We are happy to help with this matter. However, there are still some problems."

"question?"

Firion was confused.

"Yes, you may not know that since you are not in Padia, Area Zero cannot be entered and explored at any time."

Yeci nodded, waved to Philio, and showed him the map of the Padia region.

Compared with the clarity and detail of other areas, the Padya Crater, located in the center of the continent and surrounded by peaks, is filled with only darkness that symbolizes the unknown.

Pointing at the eye-catching black, her tone was somewhat helpless and bitter: "Since the accident at the fourth observation point a few years ago, energy fluctuations of varying sizes have appeared here from time to time, and it is much more dangerous than before."

"Fluctuation? Are you talking about the kind of space-time oscillation similar to the Ultra Space in the Alola and Galar regions?"

Firion keenly sensed something and asked.

Caidou, who had been drinking water silently, also gave him an inquiring look.

Feeling the confusion of the two people, Ye Ci shook his head gently and then smiled.

"It's not what you think. This is a special situation in Padiya. In fact, it was relatively stable before, but it became like this after the accident that destroyed the fourth observation point."

"Now, from time to time, energy fluctuations of varying sizes will occur in Zone Zero. Some are accidental phenomena with little impact, while others are periodic and very dangerous. Therefore, for safety reasons, the gates of Zone Zero will be closed during periodic fluctuations."

The wheat-colored fingertips fell on the mountain pass marked with a giant mechanical gate, and Ye Ci smiled apologetically.

"In other words, we are in a periodic energy fluctuation right now, so we can't go to Area Zero to investigate immediately?"

A faint bitter smile appeared on Firio's face and he shook his head silently. This was indeed an unlucky coincidence.

"That's it, so I'll just ask you two to wait patiently during this period. My suggestion is to be patient and take advantage of this time to have some exchanges in the academy."

Ye Ci smiled and nodded, tapping lightly in the direction of Clavel with his fingertips, obviously he had already made plans.

"Then how long do we need to wait? You know, the Alliance is also in urgent need of this intelligence. The longer we delay, the greater the risk of being exposed."

Firio looked at Caidou helplessly. The planned plan had obviously failed, but there was nothing he could do.

"I can't give you an accurate answer to the question of time. In fact, the time is different every time. Moreover, the Padiya Crater is very special and cannot be observed from the outside. We can only wait for news from Dr. Olin and Dr. Futu from the bottom-level research institute."

Ye Ci stared at Firio, his deep eyes revealing no other information.

When Firion read out a few details, it seemed that the powerful president of the Alliance knew very little about the doctor and his wife who were trapped in the deepest part of Area Zero.

But what was even more unfortunate was that although Filio knew more or less about most things in the world, he knew very little about Padilla.

The reason is simple. Before coming to this world, he had not even had the chance to come into contact with the Padia region. His knowledge of this place was limited to some early previews and the information he obtained through the Internet in this life.

But it is nothing more than some local customs or anecdotes, and the depth of understanding is far less than that of remote areas such as Oure and Jiantie.

Because of this, he, who has always been confident in his plans, has become more sensitive and vigilant about the unknown.

After a silent eye contact, the two shifted their gazes and looked out the window at the same time.

"That's roughly the situation now. When we hear from Dr. Olin that conditions allow for reopening, I will send someone to assist you in your investigation. You two will go with the scientists who are heading to the first and second observation points."

Looking gently at the young electric petrels playing in the treetops, Yeci spoke in a soothing tone and decided on the itinerary.

As for the person to accompany the two of them to assist, before Nimo, who was eager to try, volunteered, she turned her head and spoke softly:

"When the time comes, let Nemo follow you into Area Zero to carry out the operation. She is one of the best young trainers in the Padia League and will definitely be able to help."

"It can also be used as a treasure hunt for free exploration." Principal Clavel continued with a smile, "Little Neemo has been clamoring to explore Area Zero, so this is her wish come true."

"Great! I knew the chief and the principal understood me best!"

Nimo cheered with official permission.

She loves fighting and naturally is also interested in traveling and adventure. However, due to her poor physical strength and the fact that she is much stronger than her classmates, she rarely has the opportunity to practice.

Now she finally has the chance to legitimately enter the mysterious Zone Zero for a lively "big adventure". She is so excited that even the small freckles on her face have become much more lively.

"Look how happy you are. Don't think I don't know. Even if I don't take the initiative to approve it, you will still make a fuss in my office for a whole day like last time, right?"

With a look of half disdain and half doting, Ye Ci held his forehead with his hand, looked at the cheerfully smiling Clavel, and sighed.

Of course, she knew very well the temperament of this junior who had almost grown up under her watch. It was still fine in the early years, but it got out of control after Clavel was replaced as the principal.

The principal who is a bit childish and the student council president who does things his own way have caused a lot of trouble these days, which makes her very confused.

"Hey hey hey!"

Nimo, whose plan was seen through, was not embarrassed at all. She just smiled, scratched her head, and winked at Clavel.

This scene reminded Filio of a friend.

Come to think of it...she and Senior Furong should be able to get along better, after all, they have the same "brainless" attribute.

Thinking of this, he sat back on the sofa, picked up the coffee which was at just the right temperature, took a sip and shook his head.

I thought the task would be a quick and easy one, but now it seems that there will be more twists and turns.

"It's just that I've been too busy with work lately. Otherwise, I really wouldn't feel comfortable letting Nimo follow you. I would have to take you there myself."

He chose to ignore the annoying Nemo and Clavel, a pair of funny people, and in front of several people he absolutely trusted, Ye Ci did not hide the current situation and took out a top-secret official letter from the Pokémon League headquarters.

"In the next few months, the Pokémon Leagues of various regions will work closely together to track down the mysterious organization that is suspected to be from another time and space. The Four Heavenly Kings of the League and all the champion-level trainers of the entire Padia League will be dispatched, and I, the chief, will naturally be no exception. Therefore, now we can only ask our Four Heavenly Kings candidate Nimo to help. You also have to be attentive and do the right thing. Don't mess around. Do you understand?"

Although she knew that most of her advice would fall on deaf ears, the exhausted Ye Ci still tried her best to give it a try and spoke earnestly.

"Of course! I'm very strong!" Nimo patted her chest in joy and agreed without hesitation. Then she rolled her eyes and immediately got into the role. "Then I'll take them to find Teacher Genia! The teacher has something else to do!"

As she spoke, she carelessly grabbed two people, one in each hand, and was about to run away, but was stopped by Ye Ci.

"Don't think I don't know that you're going to drag them outside to fight again. Behave yourself today."

Seeing through the reckless Nimo at a glance, Ye Ci opened the drawer and took out two small boxes while speaking.

"There's no need to rush about the matter in Guinea. Now we need to give a greeting gift to our friends who have come from afar. This is our Padia way of hospitality."

As she spoke, she stood up and walked in front of the two of them, putting one exquisite little box in each of their hands, smiling kindly: "It's not a valuable thing, but it's still very useful in Padia where you can see energy crystals everywhere. How about testing the Pokémon's Taijing attribute here?"

As expected, the gift that Yesi mentioned was the Taijing Pearl, a precious specialty of the Padia region.

Although Yeci said it lightly, this kind of orb, which contains the power of crystallization and can rewrite the life form of Pokémon, is a very valuable item even when the technology is relatively mature, and can only be held by a few elite trainers.

Filio turned his head to look at Caidou, and indeed saw the same dilemma as himself. He was about to politely decline, but Yeci did not give them any room to speak. He walked to a corner of the room, turned on a machine that looked a bit old, and operated it skillfully.

While operating, she said without looking back: "The Taijingzhu can only be used once, and the stored crystal power will be exhausted and cannot be replenished, so you have to be more strategic when using it. Okay, come here quickly, Nimo, you come and help too."

"Coming~!"

Nemo responded loudly and pulled the two of them towards Yeci. The projector above the instrument also timely presented a picture that slightly awakened Ferio's memory.

The person who appeared on the projection, with sharp eyes, flowing hair, and unabashed wild attire under the white coat, was none other than Dr. Olin, one of the inventors of the Tai Crystal Evolution System.

"Hello, Yeci, these are the two kids you mentioned, right? I specially paused my research to wait for your communication, but it's slower than I expected!"

As soon as the call was connected, Olin, who was even more passionate than Nemo, greeted Yeci with a hearty laugh that was very wild and infectious.

"I talked to them about Area Zero, and I just came to see how things are going on your side. By the way, can you help me test the Taijing attributes of these two children's Pokémon? This equipment has been around for many years, and I'm still not used to it."

Ye Ci shook his head as if he was used to it, and gave up his position, exposing Firio and the other man to Olin's sight so that she could see more clearly.

"I'm already trapped in the research institute, and you still want to order me around? Tsk..."

She glanced at Ye Ci who was hiding in the corner of the camera with disdain, and when she looked at Firio and Caidou, her expression had completely returned to normal, just a little stiff.

It has been like this since the video call was first connected. There is always a subtle sense of incongruity, but I can't tell why.

With a hint of confusion, Firion took a half step back and waited for Caidou's Pokémon to complete the test one by one. Then he pretended to be calm and walked forward amid Nemo's pushing and shoving, and put down his Poké Balls one by one.

He concealed it very well, but Ye Ci still saw through it. He stood aside with his arms crossed and nodded imperceptibly.

......

......

[Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon·Tai Jing's attribute is steel]

[The attribute of Tyrannosaurus Taijing is flying]

[Wind Fairy·Tai Jing's attribute is a fairy]

[Emperor Nabo Taijing's attribute is steel]

[Big Mouth Baby·Tai Jing's attribute is a fairy]

[The attribute of Sun Eevee: Taijing is Psychic]

With a flickering light, the Taijing attributes of each Pokémon appeared on the screen. It was not very unexpected. Most Pokémon's Taijing attribute was one of their existing attributes, and Firion's partners were no exception.

Only the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon obtained the steel attribute that could greatly enhance its own strength, but it was also a huge surprise.

Perhaps it hasn't realized anything yet, as it has a simple and honest personality. It is just confused by its own uniqueness, and its Poké Ball is shaking as well. It took a while for it to calm down.

"There's still one missing, right? Test it again."

Dr. Olin in the video raised his eyebrows, looking at the nightmare demon still lying on top of Firion's head. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell why. He could only wave his hand and signal Firion to continue testing.

"Machi~!"

Needless to say, the little dream demon knew it was his turn and quickly returned to the Poké Ball, shaking it continuously, obviously having a little expectation of facing the unknown.

Firion did not hesitate and hung the six Poké Balls back on his waist, then put the little Dream Monster on them.

The slightly old machine made a faint roar, as if protesting against being started three or four times in a short period of time.

However, the machine in front of him was obviously still old but strong. Despite the constant protests, it quickly completed its mission. In the dim light, a line of slightly unexpected text appeared on the screen.

[Dream demon Taijing's attribute is a fairy]

"Another fairy. Could it be that compared to Ma Xiu, I am the real fairy expert?"

Firion's eyes lit up, and he steadily caught the little dream demon that flew out of the Poké Ball again, raised it above his head, and spoke with some ill intentions.

"Machiヾ(≧▽≦*)o"

Thinking of the geisha who always suffered a setback every time they met, the malicious little dream demon laughed mercilessly, slapped Firio's hair repeatedly, and laughed so hard that he almost fell down.

However, as each man and his Pokémon were talking and laughing, they failed to notice the increasingly obvious hesitation in Olin's eyes.

In the end, she still said nothing, but stretched exaggeratedly and looked at Ye Ci lazily:

"Then my mission is accomplished! I will contact you when the energy fluctuations subside. Futu and I will also provide some help after we go underground. If everything is fine, I will withdraw. I still have research to do!"

Before she finished her words and without waiting for Ye Ci's reply, she hurriedly hung up the phone. Her movements were so fast that she was like a completely different person from when she just answered the phone.

Ye Ci looked thoughtfully at the projection that was left with only light blue light, then looked at Firio, suppressed the confusion in his heart, and said softly: "Olin is just like that, she goes wherever she wants. She has been staying underground all these years and has not been able to see her husband, so it is even more obvious. Don't mind it, they are both very capable."

Firio nodded politely. "Of course. We also need to thank President Ye Ci and Dr. Olin for helping us detect the properties of the Tai Crystal. We will be bothering you for a while."

Caidou also echoed: "Sorry to bother you, President Yeci, thank you very much."

"Don't be polite. You are always welcome. If you want, you can experience campus life again after completing the mission. Padilla College is open to the whole world." Waving his hands generously, Ye Ci did not hide the admiration in his eyes. "Nemo, then you can take Firio and the others to visit the campus. I will handle the formalities."
