This elf world is a bit strange

"Machi~!"

Seeing Ge Jihua's face full of question marks, the little dream demon who had been keeping a low profile for a long time finally didn't have to endure it any longer. He shook his whole body, floated into the air, and revealed his aura slightly.

"!"

In shock, Ge Jihua's mouth subconsciously opened into an "O" shape and she couldn't even speak.

"Alright, senior, let's change the plane and go back to the Alliance headquarters first. I'm just about to ask Senior Pakila for some advice."

With a contented smile, Firion gently pulled at her sleeve, and the dream demon understood and restrained its breath, like a moving little rag doll, and landed steadily on the top of her head.

As the saying goes, wealth and honor are like walking in the night in fine clothes. Thinking of how Pakila looked when he just won the championship a year ago, Filio had already brewed ten thousand countermeasures in his mind.

"Ah? Oh..."

Ge Jihua was still immersed in the shock brought by the dream demon's almost legendary strength. Her hands and feet were a little out of control. She followed Firio out of the airport as if possessed by a spirit. In a trance, she boarded the special plane of the alliance headquarters and took off into the air.

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

About four or five hours later, at the Carlos Alliance headquarters, the Four Heavenly Kings training ground.

"Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon, full-strength wave missile!"

"Lanka!"

As Firio waved his hand and shouted, the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon, which was ready to go, roared, and a blue ball of light condensed in front of it. The surging waves turned into an invincible killing weapon and rushed out at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

"boom--"

In mid-air, the wounded Fiery Arrow Eagle was more than three points slower than when it first appeared. Facing the all-out attack of the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon, it had lost its impressive maneuverability and was unable to dodge. It struggled to get into the air, but was chased by a wave missile that seemed to have been equipped with an automatic guidance device.

After escaping several times, he was ultimately defeated and fell powerlessly in the explosion, landing on the devastated field.

"The Fierce Arrow Eagle lost its ability to fight, and the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon won! The final score was 3-0, and the winner is Firion!"

On the big screen, accompanied by an emotionless metallic sound, Pakira's last Poké Ball dimmed, and below Firion's portrait, there was even only the only representation of the Armored Dragon.

Under Firion's nonchalant and wave-by-wave offensive, Pakira's Coal Turtle, Flame Lion, and Flamehawk were defeated one after another, suffering the bitter consequences of being killed three in a row.

"This……"

In the stands, Chairman Adali, who was forcibly dragged from his office to the scene by Ge Jihua, was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He even forgot about the piles of documents in the office. His mind was full of joy at being hit by the pie that fell from the sky.

Gejihua smiled knowingly, and the look she gave Firion was filled with even more tenderness and kindness.

Next to the two of them, Zhimi, the water king who also stayed at the alliance headquarters, frowned.

At this moment, his deep gaze was moving back and forth between Big Mouth Boy and Emperor Nabo who were cheering for his younger brother, the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon. Beneath his calm face was a turbulent storm in his heart.

He is not much stronger than Pakira, and he only wins by relying on attribute restraint. Facing Firion now, he has completely lost the desire to compete with him.

Thinking of the scene a year ago, he felt a little sad and regretful.

The young man who could be defeated with just a little effort, in just one year, has become a powerful being who can easily crush him. He even vaguely sees some of Karunori's shadow.

The same complex attributes, the same tactical proficiency, and... the same calm smile, which is both irritating and makes people lose their temper.

"Hey……"

Thousands of words turned into a sigh, filled with inexpressible emotions.

It’s a pity that few people could understand his feelings, especially Qiao An, who was standing next to him and came to join in the fun.

The Storm Troopers captain, who had never behaved properly, was busy shouting and yelling, expressing his genuine joy at the rapid growth of his good buddy.

He is even stronger than Ge Jihua and has the strength to challenge the last of the Four Heavenly Kings. He saw the transformation and strength of Firio at a glance. On the one hand, he was so excited that his face flushed, and on the other hand, he ignited a burning fighting spirit. He wished he could jump off the stands right now and fight with Firio for three hundred rounds.

But he obviously didn't think about the emotional harm that such loud cheering would cause to another contestant on the stage.

"..."

The three main Pokémon were all killed by the opponent's weakest one. Pakira's face turned red. He felt that he had lost face for his boss and was very embarrassed.

Just when she was in a dilemma, a leisurely voice came from behind her:

"Ah, brother Firio is really powerful now. I can hear the sound of you fighting from my office. You must have had a lot of adventures, right? It's really exciting to watch. It makes me want to fight too."

Doracena, who was supposed to be working overtime in the office to handle the championship affairs for Carlono, suddenly appeared. It was as if she had turned on the aura of concealment. While speaking, she had already stood behind Pakira without anyone noticing, and even Firio didn't notice it beforehand.

As soon as she finished speaking, she skillfully locked onto Pakila, and pulled her aside as she struggled in vain. She then leisurely stood in her original position, slowly opening her smiling eyes, flashing an eager look.

"How about it, brother Firio? I'm very interested in the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon. Do you want to have a competition?"

"Lanka? Lanka!"

Seeing the powerful dragon expert taking the initiative to challenge him, the slightly tired Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon slapped his chest and shouted to challenge him.

The shiny scales made a crisp sound, which was the unique deterrent and battle signal of the Rod-tailed Armored Dragon clan.

The Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon was eager to fight, and Firion naturally had no intention of refusing. He smiled and nodded: "Since Senior Doracena is so interested, there is no reason for me not to accompany you. Please give me your advice!"

"Wait a minute!"

The war was about to break out, but it came to an abrupt end.

The one who came to stop it was the chairman Adali, who had been watching fascinatedly in the stands.

He walked quickly between the two and said in a deep voice, "Dorasena, Karuna is on a mission outside. You are the strongest fighter stationed at the headquarters and cannot attack at will. If you really want to fight Firio, wait until Karuna comes back."

"Tsk... Adali, you've become boring since you became the chairman. You definitely wouldn't have said that back then."

Doracena was a little disappointed. She opened her eyes and then narrowed them again, but she didn't say much. She just walked to the center of the venue, gently hugged the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon, and greeted it affectionately, just like an elder in the dragon group greeting a cub he met for the first time.

"Lanka?"

Experiencing this situation for the first time, the Armored Dragon was a little surprised and a little flattered. It stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react.

This cute look aroused Doracena's kindness even more.

"What a handsome and strong little guy. It won't be long before you become even stronger."

Gently raising her hand, slowly rubbing the cheek of the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon, Doracena couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

"Lan…Lanka!"

Blinking its bright big eyes, the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon stretched out its arms, hugged Doracena who was full of intimacy, and responded loudly.

Becoming the strongest warrior has always been its dream, and it has always believed that it will be able to do it one day.

......

......

After a good time with the Armored Dragon, Doracena let it go with a bit of reluctance, looked at Firion meaningfully, and said, "Sinnoh is indeed a magical place, full of incredible adventures, right?"

"Yes, this is indeed an unforgettable experience for me and I have benefited a lot from it."

Hearing the hidden meaning of the words of this predecessor who had inherited the shamanic tradition, Firio nodded humbly to express his agreement.

After getting the answer she wanted, Doracena took a few steps back with satisfaction, making way for the "giant" behind her, amid everyone's puzzled gazes.

"Hey! Firio! You!"

As carefree as a gorilla in the jungle, Joan rushed forward in two steps, hugged Filio, and slapped him hard on the back with a palm as big as a fan, saying half complaining and half enviously.

"You made such a big news without making any noise. You must drink three glasses of wine tonight. Otherwise, it will be unfair to us for worrying about you for so long!"

Almost slapped to death by Joan, Filio punched him lightly and said unhappily:

"You hit me so hard, how can my bones withstand such a strong man like you? Forget about drinking, let's do it another day. I have to go back to Sala today for something important. It's a good idea for you to take me there. Please prepare the juice. I finished the last box a long time ago, and you didn't even think of taking the initiative to deliver it to me. You had to wait for me to come to your door to purchase the goods. Your service attitude is really unacceptable."

"Listen to what you're saying, is this human language? Wait, I understand! Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."

Not only did he not get to drink the wine, but he also lost a lot of drinks. Joan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but then he thought again, grinned, winked at Philio, showing an expression that everyone understood.

As a veteran gossipmonger, he had already guessed why Filio rushed back home.

"You understand again."

Firio didn't bother to pay attention to him. He rolled his eyes, pushed him aside, and walked to Gejihua and Adali.

It was a rare opportunity for him to come to the Alliance Headquarters, and he didn't come here simply to show off his surging strength to everyone and to take revenge on Pakila - although this was indeed the main reason, he also had the idea of ​​contributing to the Alliance to some extent.

He knew very well who was doing the real work among this bunch of clowns, so he asked directly: "Sir Adali, do you have any new tasks to assign to me after I come back this time? If there is a task that requires confidentiality and concealment, I think it can be assigned to me. After all, few people know about my experience during this period, and this information can be used to do something in the short term."

"Your strength... You are right. This is a very important and valuable factor. As for the mission..."

Gently holding his chin and stroking the stubble that he had just shaved in the morning and now felt a little prickly, Adali's eyes lit up.

"It's true. There is indeed an important emergency mission right now. It's been several days, and I haven't found a suitable candidate."

Firio remained calm and said, "Please tell me, what is the mission?"

"This is a mission that fits your schedule perfectly."

Adali smiled the same smile that Ravi had given him, seemingly honest but actually treacherous, and moved forward, whispering in Firio's ear.

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

That night, in the remote mountains east of Kalos.

Halfway up a barren mountain, there is a remote little cave. Not only are there no mountain dwellers nearby, but there are also very few Pokémon. It can be considered an exceptionally barren place.

And on this barren mountain where no grass had grown for many years, a few wild grasses suddenly grew, stubbornly swaying in the wind.

In the cave, the man in black, who had disappeared for a long time since being defeated by Red and Green, reappeared and sat cross-legged on a slightly flat open space side by side with his scarred Mewtwo, with several large and small hoses connected to his body.

At the end of the hose is a huge glass container filled with colorful liquids.

On the other side was the motionless Xerneas, or rather, the Tree of Life that was protecting itself in its dormant state.

The man in black took a deep breath and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his forearms whose muscles twisted like liquid.

The restless gene had spread to his entire arm, and with every twist, it seemed as if something was about to explode from under his already overburdened skin, causing the man in black, with a heart as hard as iron, to involuntarily groan in pain.

But all this could not stop him at all.

The slightly trembling fingers slowly raised up and lightly pressed a red button on the container, and the roar of the machine sounded.

An endless supply of life force was forcibly extracted from Xerneas' body, first entering a container, and then injected into the Man in Black and Mewtwo through the transfer of an unknown liquid.

【! 】

Mewtwo's eyes suddenly opened, and bright blue light shot out from his eyes. He stared at the man in black with anger, but soon calmed down and became a little dull, like a puppet that had lost consciousness.

In the container, the mixed liquid gradually changed from colorful to pure green, full of the breath and vitality of life.

The black-clad man's restless arms gradually calmed down, as if a raging volcano had been temporarily calmed down and sealed in a human-shaped body.

"Tick tock...tick tock..."

The man in black slowly stood up, and the crisp sound of water was heard.

Looking closely, his black clothes were completely soaked with sweat. He didn't even need any extra movements as the overflowing sweat would drip onto the rocks.

"call……"

He let out a long breath, and every move of the man in black could not hide his weakness and fatigue, but he was also filled with unprecedented excitement.

"I said, in this world of abundance, I can definitely do it."

Revealing the pride of a winner, the man in black stood in front of Mewtwo, smiling reservedly but happily in its silence.

"Drip drip..."

Just as the man in black was enjoying the joy of victory alone, the alarm on his waist made a sharp whistle at an inopportune time, interrupting his rare emotional release.

His brows furrowed, his cheerful look gone, the man in black picked up the alarm, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a bit of coldness.

"It's these guys again... They're still haunting us!" There was a hint of resentment in his words. The man in black casually pressed the button to cancel the alarm, walked out of the cave, looked at the bright night sky, and a cold arc appeared on the corner of his mouth. "But, I still win this time."

As he spoke, Mewtwo behind him stood up, and the blue super power echoed in the cave.

......

......

In the dead of night, when the investigation team followed the energy sensing and found this wilderness, the man in black and Mewtwo were no longer seen in the cave.

Abandoning the sleeping Xerneas here, carrying a large amount of unknown liquid full of vitality, the Men in Black and Mewtwo left early after destroying all traces.

The only ones left here are those who have lost their usefulness and serve as bait to distract the investigation team.

Xerneas was still in deep sleep, but had lost a lot of vitality, and even its colorful branches had dimmed a little.

Such a large-scale loss is not a small problem even for the God of Life, whose vitality is endless.

In the crowd, Caroline had a serious expression. She looked around vigilantly and clenched her fists secretly.
