This elf world is a bit strange

Picking up the black box at hand, Daigo's tone was full of boasting and seeking credit. He looked nothing like the elegant nobleman he was when they first met, and it seemed as if he was already showing signs of being assimilated.

"Let's go, hurry up. It's not close to Shanlu Town from here. I have an appointment with him tomorrow morning, so I can't be late."

Grabbing Firion, who was feeling sleepy after eating and drinking, the energetic Hoenn champion strode forward.

Chapter 358 Dark Volcano

"...This is...ah, it seems that he is not dead..."

Deep in the base of the mountain, Sachi woke up after having been lying on the hospital bed for nearly two days.

The tearing pain that appeared and appeared in her body gave her a real sense of being alive. Her hands subconsciously groped around her, but she couldn't find her Poké Ball. Instead, she felt a faint sense of powerlessness.

Before she could look around and figure out the situation around her, the subordinate who was always guarding her bed quickly stepped forward and bowed:

"Master Sachi, you finally woke up. The doctor said that your physical condition has basically recovered, but it is best not to engage in strenuous activities in the past few days."

"Well... I understand. It's nothing serious. Is there any news from BOSS? The mission probably failed."

After calming down, Sachi restrained his unnecessary expression, looked at his subordinates calmly, and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, the mission failed. Only you and the boss are back." The loyal subordinate's expression darkened and his tone was quite serious. Including him, there were only three or two big cats and kittens left in the entire Galaxy team. " BOSS asks you to go to his place after you get better, he said he has something to explain to you."

"That's it, I understand, I'll go over there right away."

The last scene before he fell into coma appeared in his mind, and Sachi understood clearly in his mind. He stood up neatly, moving his still painful arms and back before setting off.

The subordinates subconsciously wanted to help her, but she refused without any trace.

"You and the rest of the people should follow me from now on. As long as you live, there will always be a way... Now go and rest. If there is a mission, I will go directly to you. As for the BOSS, I will solve it myself."

Perhaps it was because his feelings for the Galaxy were different after all. Sage showed a rare tenderness, patted his subordinate on the shoulder, put on his coat in his astonishment, and left quickly.

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

After a while, the deepest part of the base was in the secret room hidden behind the secret door.

As soon as she entered the door, Sachi saw the windbreaker hanging on the hanger with burnt marks. The painful memory of the defeat came back again, making her a little frightened.

Although the cause of the defeat was not her own, apart from her, the only one who successfully evacuated was the man in black.

Her mind was spinning, and she, who was used to the ruthless tactics of the man in black, hurriedly bowed down, her voice trembling slightly: "BOSS, I'm here. The responsibility for the previous battle is mine. I was not vigilant enough. I am willing to accept the punishment."

But this time, the man in black did not express his anger, but waved his hand gently.

"It's not your problem this time. It's because I underestimated this opponent too much. In other words, his growth is always higher than our intelligence, and Alola is indeed a blind spot. Don't pay too much attention to this. Body How is the situation? Pay attention to rest."

Saatchi was flattered by the sudden care, and said repeatedly: "My body is fine, and I will fully recover soon! Please allow me to continue to follow you for the following tasks. I hope to take revenge on those people with my own hands!"

"These are things for later. Let's take a rest first. Chaomeng and I also need to adjust our state, and we need to find the weakness of that person before we can make a decision and then take action to kill him with one blow."

The man in black nodded with satisfaction, waved, and the chair in front of the table was pulled back and placed in front of Saatchi.

Sage sat down timidly, a little confused about the man in black's attitude today.

But soon she understood the reason for the changes.

Just a crisp snap of fingers was heard, and a gap suddenly opened in the wall, revealing a secret room hidden in the secret room.

There are several powerful Pokémon sleeping in the large glass petri dish, including her three aces, the cat boss, the gem starfish, and the cursed doll.

Different from the calmness or indifference of the other Pokémon, the condition of these three Pokémon is visibly poor, and even when they are sleeping, you can often see painful expressions.

The Z-moves used by the staff-tailed armored dragons with all their strength left huge wounds on their bodies that were difficult to heal. To this moment, dragon-type energy like tarsal maggots still lingers on them, torturing them.

"This……"

"As you can see, although I asked them to dispatch medicine and culture fluid for Yeeb and the others, your three Pokémon are too seriously injured and it may be difficult to fully recover."

Looking at Sachi with a gloomy expression, the man in black sounded a little regretful, but seemed to be waiting for something.

Sure enough, Sachi immediately turned back, his eyes full of silent prayer.

She knew very well that the reason why the men in black were still treating the cat bosses meant that their injuries could still be healed.

"I don't have a perfect way to heal their injuries." Faced with Sachi's earnestness, the man in black remained calm, which made her heart sink suddenly, but soon he changed the subject, "But, There is a way that combines risks and benefits, you can consider it.”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a fist lightly.

Three syringes filled with light green solution floated up from under the table and landed steadily in front of Sage.

"This is the medicine I have used. It is extracted from the energy of Xerneas. It may be useful, but it may not be bearable. Whether you use it or not is up to you."

His determined eyes were locked on Sachi's eyes, and the man in black's tone remained calm without any fluctuation.

Sa Qi's expression quickly turned into a struggle.

As an old subordinate of the man in black and a core member of the organization, she naturally knew about this potion, which had been planned for several months and obtained by the man in black himself.

But she knew better how many people and Pokémon died in the process of preparing the solution.

Even if Cat Boss and the others are powerful champion Pokémon, they can't say there are no risks.

In the face of the power of gods, nothing is ever infallible, especially the power gained from plunder.

But looking at the three main Pokémon that were already difficult to treat with conventional methods, she knew her situation at the moment.

After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the potion on the table.

"Please allow me to think about it, BOSS." She lowered her head, hiding her face, then quickly walked to the petri dish and released a mediocre Qilinqi, "Thank you for your treatment, I will take them back first. .”

After saying that, as if she wanted to escape as quickly as possible from the man in black's eyes that seemed to be able to see through his heart, she walked out of the secret room without looking back, and left here in stride.

......

......

"She will finally know what to choose."

Listening to the footsteps fading away, the man in black leaned lazily on the back of the chair and said to the armored Mewtwo behind him.

Armored Mewtwo remained silent, without any response, just staring ahead expressionlessly, like a sculpture.

"It's a pity, it would be nice if Chiri was still here." It seemed that he was bored by Armored Mewtwo's reaction, or perhaps meeting his old friend's subordinates brought back memories in his heart. The man in black sighed a little, "What a shame. I miss the days when I fought with him against those three idiots from Sinnoh."

As he spoke, he put his hands on the table and stood up slowly with some difficulty. His steps seemed a little unsteady. He almost stumbled and fell down in just a few steps. His face hidden under the mask was also a little pale.

After struggling to put the windbreaker on his body, he put his hand on Armored Mewtwo's shoulder and said softly: "Let's go to the experimental area."

Before he finished speaking, a blue light flashed and their figures disappeared from the house.

When he reappeared, he was already in an underground laboratory whose exact location was unknown.

"Boss? Boss! Welcome! Our research here..."

Seeing the man in black suddenly approaching, several people in white coats from the Shadow Team hurriedly put down their work and approached timidly.

The leader, a short and fat man, approached with a slightly flattering manner, wanting to report on the progress of the experiment, but before he could finish his words, he was waved away by a man wearing a bamboo hat and a black robe.

"Go and do your own thing. I'll have a few words with him."

The man in black had the same idea and paid no attention to the frightened Shadow Team. He just walked forward side by side with the man in the bamboo hat and stood in front of a huge glass container.

The pitch-black solution filled the entire container and completely obscured the existence inside. Only the outline of a giant bird could be vaguely seen.

The majestic aura emanates spontaneously even when it is asleep, filled with the majesty of being at the top of the food chain and the overlord of nature.

"Boss, the experimental area has been operating normally these days." The man in the bamboo hat spoke hoarsely, "The research on Dark Lugia has reached a critical stage. We are currently improving the anti-purification device and infusing it with dark energy."

"Well... let me take a look."

The man in black did not comment, but pressed his hand on the glass shield. His superpowers slowly seeped into it, but he only did a little bit and withdrew after the slightest touch.

The man in black shook his hands, feeling quite satisfied. He raised his voice slightly and encouraged the Shadow Team who were still observing the place: "You have all worked hard during this period. This is a very difficult technique. I hope you can complete it as soon as possible."

"Don't worry! Our technology is reliable!"

Seizing the opportunity, the Shadow Team boss Ursa rushed over flatteringly, patting his chest and guaranteeing with certainty.

"That's good. Just tell me what you need and we'll try to satisfy you." The man in black nodded and asked, "How's the progress of the dark ball?"

"Dark ball..." This time, it was Uraya who was in trouble.

"The progress of the Dark Ball is a little slower than expected." The man in the bamboo hat took over the conversation calmly, walked to a laboratory table, picked up a black Poké Ball that had not yet been assembled, and handed it forward. "There are still many technical difficulties, but we have made some breakthroughs. It's just that Bixias is not here now, so the progress may be slowed down."

Due to the information blockade, they were still unaware of Bixias' death.

The man in black did not intend to reveal anything. He just glanced at the man in the bamboo hat, winked, and turned away, saying, "I already know all this. You still need to speed up the process. I will get what you need soon."

......

......

Outside the laboratory, the heavy door slowly closed, and the pace of the man in black also slowed down.

"Boss, over in Alola... I heard Thatch and the others...?"

Without the Shadow Team, the man in the bamboo hat asked in a low voice.

"Well, the loss is not small. This Kalos man is not easy to deal with." The man in black did not deny it. "We can only look for another opportunity. What was the situation on the Unova side when I left?"

"The situation here...is not going well."

The man in the bamboo hat was at a loss for words. As he stammered, his already hoarse voice became even deeper.

"After you left, Daigo led his men to raid two peripheral intelligence outposts. According to the latest report, we are worried..."

In the empty corridor, only the sound of light footsteps and conversations echoed, and along the winding passages, dissipated in the intricate mountain base.

Faintly, you can smell the smell of sulfur, as if boiling magma was dug out from the ground.

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

A small hill with an excellent view in the north of Shanlu Town.

Firion and Daigo, walking together, arrived at the courtyard of a western-style house.

I knocked on the door and waited for a moment, then an unexpected figure appeared behind the door.

With Daigo's introduction and guarantee, Firio met the authoritative expert he mentioned.

Acroma is a scientist who briefly served as the leader of Team Plasma and then disbanded it.

Living in seclusion in this small mountain town, he has always had close cooperation with Devon Company. Because they are both steel-type Pokémon experts, he also has a close personal relationship with Daigo.

In order to verify the authenticity of the previous harvest and find out the secrets hidden in these spoils, Daigo agreed with him on a time to visit. Now that he had met another guest, he was not surprised as he had seen many storms. He just smiled and stretched out his hand, saying softly:

"Hello, Daigo, and Mr. Firion, it's nice to meet you. Also, the one behind you... should be Mewtwo, right? Welcome to my home, please have a cup of tea to cool down first."

Although he had not fought for a long time, Akromah's senses were still sharp.

Just by relying on the changes in the electromagnetic waves of Gear Monster, he was able to sense the existence of Mewtwo.

But in front of the notorious Firio, he was not nervous at all, but instead extended an invitation enthusiastically.

......

......

The air conditioning in the room, which was decorated simply and brightly, was turned on very high.

The aroma of coffee still lingers in the house, with a rich sweetness and milky flavor.

With the refreshments that had been prepared in advance, the two people who had been tired from the journey felt a lot more relaxed.

After some pleasantries and greetings, Akromah, who already knew the purpose of their visit, did not refuse and gladly accepted this special commission.

The unfinished coffee was placed on the table. He took the black box, apologized, and went to his laboratory first. He placed the device filled with special energy on the energy detector designed by himself, and then returned.

"I guess we'll have to wait for a while to see what the energy in here is all about."

Picking up the coffee cup with a smile, he looked at Mewtwo who was sitting in the corner of the sofa eating snacks silently, and said with interest:

"I've always thought that Mewtwo is one of the most magical Pokémon in the world. It's a pity that I've never had the chance to see it in person. If possible, I really hope to figure out how to stimulate the potential of a legendary Pokémon like it."

Although he is no longer the leader of Team Plasma, he still has unlimited passion for this lifelong pursuit.

From the beginning to the end, this persistent and somewhat crazy scientist was a very pure person, with only his own research in his eyes.

"..."

Feeling the burning gaze, Mewtwo ate the snack in his hand in just two bites, then took Firion's teacup and took a big gulp of tea. Then he picked up the freshly washed fruit from the table and ate it with the dream demon that came over.

It had no intention of continuing the conversation, let alone conducting any so-called experiments.

Philio was naturally well aware of his big cat's thoughts. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a dazzling fire coming out from the laboratory in the corner, followed by a loud explosion.
