This elf world is a bit strange

......

......

When the "Saving Private Nimo" trio ran down the slope to a col, poor Miss Nemo had already fallen headfirst into the pile of dirt like a fallen onion.

Fortunately, she, who was definitely not a super Padyan, was not injured.

Because by accident, she found an absolutely first-class buffer.

The bad news is that this cushion is a single-headed dragon.

The little fellow, who literally had no eyes, was knocked dizzy and subconsciously bit her hand.

"...So, the scream you just made was because you were bitten, right?"

Without even taking off his apron, Firio put his hands on his hips and looked at the screaming Nemo with a mixture of anger and amusement.

......

......

“Ouch! It hurts!”

"Dino!!!"

"What nonsense are you two talking about? My cotton wool hasn't even been touched yet."

"Eh? Oh... I'll wait a little longer then."

“Dino…”

“I’m not angry, I’m not angry…” Firio clenched his fists, and a small cross appeared on his forehead. “No way! Be quiet!”

"Boom"

"Boom"

"You hit me on the head again!"

"Dino!"

"I didn't let Big Mouth do it, so you should be laughing secretly! Caidou, you come and apply the medicine to them, and give them the right amount!"

Looking at the man and the Pokémon who were showing off even while crouching with their heads in their hands, Firion smiled coldly.

"Dino!"

Sensing the danger, the single-headed dragon hurriedly ran away from Nemo, hid in the corner, and curled up into a ball. His movements were smooth and it was obvious that this was not the first time he had done this.

As a powerful quasi-god cub, he has mastered the skill of begging for mercy, and can be considered a rare living treasure.

Just as Firio was about to make a joke, an inopportune sound was heard faintly.

"Gulu..."

Looking closely, the curled up little guy's face turned red, and his small nose twitched continuously. Although he couldn't see, his face was facing the big pot that was emitting fragrant aroma.

And it seems there's more than just one.

Caidou turned her head, and sure enough, the usually carefree Nimo also started to act shy.

"Good guy..."

Firion scratched his head and laughed.

......

......

"Dino! Dino~!"

The single-headed dragon, who had a rare chance to have a full meal, shouted with joy and wished he could dive into the rice bowl with his whole body.

"Eat slowly, don't learn from that wild little miss. No one will snatch it from you. But speaking of which, little guy, you are a little skinny. Why are you here by yourself?"

Firion put down the bowl of soup, glanced at Nemo, who was also eating wildly because of hunger, and started rubbing the single-headed dragon's big furry head.

With his sharp eyes, he could easily see that this single-headed dragon, which seemed to have left its infancy, was somewhat malnourished. This was obviously not the result of a day or two, but rather the result of long-term deficiency.

This is extremely rare among the three-headed dragon races, where parents will nurture their children until they complete at least the first evolution.

"Dino Dino..."

After swallowing the food in his mouth with great effort, Shanshoulong talked and gestured, and finally started to circle around Nemo.

"It said it hasn't seen its parents for a long time, and it's lost, so it's wandering here, Loto!"

The rarely useful Pokémon translator Rotom makes a grand appearance, eliminating the need for half-guessing and miscommunication.

"Eh? Did you get separated from your parents? So pitiful..."

Full of sympathy, Nemo put down her bowl, gently licked the rice grains from the corners of her mouth, lovingly picked up the little fellow who was circling in place, and gently rubbed its head, which was a rare one on its body and a little chubby due to its thick hair.

"Ow~"

The hard dragon teeth bit into the wrist, leaving two rows of small teeth marks.

It didn't hurt. Under the influence of Genie, Neemo had a good understanding of the habits of most Pokémon, including this quasi-god cub.

Biting with the upper lip is the little guy's way of understanding the world, and gentle biting is also one of the techniques to express friendliness.

"Filio, hurry up, give me another portion of elf food~!"

"You are a good person, and I bleed. I can hear this plan even from outside the cave."

"Really? Don't be so stingy!"

The sweet and naive shouting, which was half coquettish and half joking, added a bit of lively atmosphere to the quiet cave.

After a while, a bright white light flashed from the cave entrance. It was not known whether it was supposed to be so or if it was just a small butterfly flapping its wings. Nemo, who had a large number of partners but most of them were ordinary Pokémon, welcomed her first quasi-god partner.

Although his physical development is a little slow and his foundation is a little weak, for Nemo, who is wealthy, there is no problem of not being able to afford to raise him or raise him well.

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

From that day on, the team had a curious baby who kept calling "Dino Dino". Compared with the Heart Scale Baby more than a year ago, he was more lively and clever. All day long, he either followed Nemo around, or followed the Wind Fairy as a little follower.

The addition of the energetic little guy brought a fresh color that was completely different from the past, and the new life also brought a brand new look to this displaced cub in a short period of time.

With sufficient nutrition and scientific resource combination, its thin body gradually became fleshy in just a few days, and even its face looked a little chubby. Both Nemo and Caidou couldn't put it down.

It was hard for the guide Damon and the chef Filio. While this new little ancestor brought them a lot of happiness, he also brought them a lot of new troubles.

One of them is being dishonest in the middle of the night.

On average, every night, it would sneak out of the Poké Ball to play and would encounter at least four or five traps. Sometimes it would even accidentally run out of the camp, attracting the attention of some nocturnal Pokémon, adding a few twists and turns to the peaceful journey.

Fortunately, with the experienced Damon, after a long journey, they followed the source of the river and successfully arrived at the most important water source in Area Zero - a giant waterfall gushing out from the high mountains inside the Padiya Crater.

The deafening sound of water echoes among the mountains. Its grandeur is no less than that of the Ducheng Waterfall, but it has a more mysterious feel shrouded in clouds and mist, setting off the huge water flow that looks like an upside-down river in the sky.

Even though they are thousands of meters apart, the air is filled with a light mist. Countless wild animals, including those living in the nearby mountains and woodlands, and the abundant water sources have given birth to abundant natural resources, with birds singing and flowers blooming.

The few of them were not ostentatious, and even locked the noisy single-headed dragon into the Poké Ball, and quietly came to a cliff.

According to Damon, due to the turbulence of the waterfall and some unknown reasons, this is one of the few areas in Zone Zero with strong signals, and sometimes some regular signals from the outside world can be received.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

A busy tone came from Rotom's cell phone, and the screen turned gray. The strange energy field and the signal fluctuations repeatedly fought, erupting the struggle between humans and nature.

"Shh-"

This time, luck was on the side of them. After a long wait, the screen lit up again, revealing Ye Ci's slightly blurry face.

"It's been five days. I finally received your news... Hmm? Researcher Damon, why are you here too?"

Although she was outside, Ye Ci was always concerned about the mission of several people. She couldn't wait to ask questions as soon as the call was connected. As a result, before she could finish her words, she was surprised by Damon's appearance.

......

......

"...I see. Are there also Paradox Pokémon appearing near the entrance? It seems that the number of Paradox Pokémon in Area 0 is still increasing. This is a bit bad."

After listening to Firio's report, Ye Ci nodded slightly. As the president of the alliance, she had to consider not only the results of this investigation, but also the future of Zone Zero as an "uncontrollable factor".

If the number of ancient and future Pokémon that are ferocious, wild and extremely aggressive towards humans continues to increase, it will not only cause a crisis in Area Zero, but may also threaten the outside world in the future. She needs to prepare in advance and be prepared for a rainy day.

But she also knew that now was not the time to discuss this matter. After a little thought, she calmed down and looked at the few people with a smile: "It seems that you are in good condition. According to the planned schedule, we should set off to the middle level now, right? You must pay attention to safety. It is best to stop at observation point No. 3 first and rest for a while."

Then, she turned her gaze to Damon, a famous researcher in a certain sense, and said meaningfully: "If Researcher Damon is willing to participate in the subsequent operations, that's fine, but you have to cooperate with the three of them as much as possible and not act rashly, especially when exploring underground. I know what you want to investigate, but you have to ensure safety, understand?"

Hearing the other party's implicit meaning, Damon couldn't hide his excitement.

He realized that Ye Ci not only knew about his majestic teeth, but also always believed in his statement.

Although for some reason such a change had never been confirmed, it was enough for him to allow him to find similar companions for his own and try to explore the cause of the change.

"Yes, I understand...! Rotom, what's going on? Damn it! Is this another signal fluctuation?"

"Swish..."

Damon was about to speak with an eager look, but the picture on Rotom's screen suddenly fluctuated violently, and the signal became sometimes strong and sometimes weak. He was so anxious that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, but there was nothing he could do.

"Hehehe... Now it's my turn to make an appearance!" Just as Damon was getting anxious, Neemo raised her head with a hint of pride and took out a small paper box from her backpack like a magician. "Let me show you all the latest achievement of Rotom Mobile. This is our secret weapon!"

As he was talking, the paper box opened, revealing a dazzling golden light (which it wasn't) and a small, ordinary-looking silver-gray part.

"What is this, Lotor?"

Looking at the small plug-in on the parts, and then carefully checking his whole body twice, Mobile Rotom tilted his head, curious.

"click"

With a slight click, the plug-in was firmly inserted into a small groove on Rotom's body that was covered with dust and had never been used since it left the factory. It was always thought to be just a decoration.

Then, the rustling sound of the signal disappeared, and the blurry picture gradually became clear, revealing a rare look of anxiety and panic on the other side of the screen.

“Ahem!” Seeing the signal restored and feeling the surprised looks from several people, Ye Ci quickly cleared his throat and his expression returned to normal, “Filio, what’s going on? Did the signal suddenly recover?”

"This is my company's new product, a signal stabilizer! Chief, you should know that it's still under testing, and I took it out!"

Nimo was very proud, with her smooth chin raised high, looking very proud.

"Hmm? So it has already been developed. What an amazing efficiency." Ye Ci raised his eyebrows and nodded approvingly, but soon turned into a bit of surprise, "But that's not right. From what I understand, experimental subjects are not allowed to be taken out, right? Did you sneak in and take the things out?"

"Hey, hey, don't say that!" Nimo showed a smile that seemed to be trying to cover up the truth and scratched her hair vigorously. "I didn't go looking for it by myself. My sister helped me~!"

"Isn't it all the same? Did she follow you in making trouble?" Ye Ci held his forehead with his hand, his eyes full of helplessness. "Forget it, this is a good thing after all. I'll go talk to your parents, and you just complete the task honestly."

"I'm not kidding! I helped a lot! The Chief is really unreasonable and doesn't want to pay attention to you!"

Nimo made a big face, turned her head away angrily, picked up the single-headed dragon and ran to the side to play by herself.

"Hmm... After all, she did help. President Yesi, I'll leave Rotom Corporation to you. Is there anything else you want to tell me? I see the stabilizer is starting to heat up, so I'm afraid it won't be long."

Not surprised by Nemo's casualness and frankness, Firio touched the parts lightly and found them a little hot, so he quickly brought the topic back to the main topic.

Ye Ci also knew the importance of the matter. He just looked at Nimo's receding back and his expression became serious again: "Indeed, I have something important to tell you. Olin's research will soon come to an end. When she is free, she will contact you directly using the equipment of the institute to provide you with remote support."

"Also, there is one more thing I want you to pay attention to." With a wink, Ye Ci changed the subject, "After all, Olin and Futu have been trapped down there for several years. Their personalities may be different from our previous impressions. If there is anything important, you can also contact me through the equipment at the observation point. I will be in the office 24 hours a day these days."

"You mean... I understand."

Firion blinked hard, and reading Ye Kin's profound meaning, he nodded slightly.

Ye Ci smiled with satisfaction: "That's good. Be careful. Your Carlos' Gejihua Pavilion Master has also arrived in Padilla. There should be a breakthrough in the interrogation of those two people in the near future. I hope your investigation goes smoothly."

As he waved his hand, the signal stabilizer ran out of power and the screen went dark.

"It's so hot and so tired, Loto!"

Even the Rotom cell phone showed signs of fatigue. At the last moment, it had to grit its teeth and transmit the electricity to this small but power-hungry component so that it could hold on until Ye Ci finished speaking.

In other words, the machine cannot sweat, otherwise it would not have fallen into Firio's arms at this moment, but would have sweated like rain, soaking his clothes.

......

......

"It seems it's still unstable. I'll tell my sister after we get out." Seeing the end of the call, Nimo, who had pretended to leave in anger, immediately changed her appearance, ran back, carefully removed the stabilizer, put it back into the paper box, and put it away carefully. "But it doesn't matter, there are still several, even if it's broken, it's okay!"

She patted her chest, feeling quite pleased with herself for having accomplished an unexpected feat. She took Caidou's arm and walked away amidst the chatter of showing off and praise.

Just a moment later, under the gaze of a group of wild Pokémon, a team consisting of several Motorbikes and an exceptionally sturdy Padya Fighting-type Kentaro sped away, causing a tremor and excitement.

Looking at that direction, it is the ramp connecting the upper and middle levels of Area Zero. It is also a truly dangerous area that the Padiya Alliance has repeatedly warned is strictly prohibited from entering without permission.
