This elf world is a bit strange

Even the windows were shattered on two sides by the violent tremor.

"Oh no! It must be over the limit!"

Slapping his thigh, Akromah didn't bother to bother with Mewtwo, and hurriedly stood up and rushed to the laboratory full of "treasures". Firion and Daigo also quickly followed and rushed into the laboratory full of black smoke.

Fortunately, the explosion of the detector was just a lot of noise but little damage, and only a few small devices placed nearby were damaged. It was a blessing in disguise.

In the midst of the devastation, the small black box was merely blown away by the wave of the explosion and fell to the ground. Not only was it intact, there wasn't even a single burn mark. Once the dust on the surface was wiped off, it was as clean as new.

Daigo and Firion were surprised, but Akromah was not surprised at all and simply waved his hand.

"Don't worry about it. This is just confirming my guess."

As he said this, he walked forward with interest and took the box from Firion, which still had some residual heat from the explosion.

Then he turned around and took out a brand new instrument from his safe.

The number Acroma 1075 was engraved on this seemingly ordinary remote control. The familiar shape and the rare four-digit number instantly evoked Filio's memory.

This is the famous [Pokémon Potential Activator - Acroma Machine].

Akromá held the remote control in his hand expressionlessly, lightly touched the antenna on the box, and pressed the switch.

Soon, wisps of "black air" emerged from it, carrying a bit of evil, and vaguely, there seemed to be some negative emotions.

"it is as expected……"

Muttering to himself, Akroma decisively took out a black stone from the drawer on the other side and pressed it on the box.

However, in the span of a breath, the misty black energy was completely absorbed, and the antenna of the Akroma machine was also removed from the box by him, and everything returned to calm.

"What is it?"

Only then did Firion and Daigo dare to step forward and ask in unison about their confusion.

"You two are in sync." Akroma chuckled, put down the black stone in his hand, and said loudly, "It just confirmed my guess. I figured out what this thing is."

As he spoke, he picked up the jar and put it on the table.

"Just like when we tried to control Kyurem and the others, it's hard to say what this thing is used for, but the principle is clear at a glance. Although it's a little clever, it's still a poor imitation in the end."

"Imitation? You mean..."

Firion looked at the Akroma machine in his hand, the meaning was self-evident.

"Yes, the principle of this thing is similar to that of the Akroma machine. It can stimulate potential and control the mind, but it has side effects." Akroma did not intend to hide it and admitted frankly, "So this is a poor imitation of me. It is not a top-notch product."

Having said that, the scientist's competitive spirit still made him turn his head and take the initiative to speak:

"If you have any new findings in the future, can you also let me do the follow-up research? I want to crack it myself."

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

Sinnoh region, Crown Mountain, ancient civilization scientific research camp.

After a day of investigation, the exhausted researchers returned to the camp one after another, chatting and laughing with each other.

Although the conditions were not very good and we had to sleep in the open air, we gained something new every day, which made everyone's confidence grow day by day.

In a temporary laboratory that was different in specifications from other places, Shirona and Kamal sat opposite each other.

"There will be a big breakthrough soon. Do you really want to leave now?"

Hearing that Sirona would be away for a while, Kamal touched the stubble that he forgot to shave in the morning and felt a little embarrassed.

"There's nothing I can do about it. After all, I'm more than just an archaeologist. Please understand, senior." Sirona smiled and poured coffee for Kamal, saying cheerfully, "And it shouldn't take too long. If everything goes well, maybe we can make it in time! And..."

"And what?"

"And I can also help you pass a message to Firion. How about it? Is it a surprise?" In Kamal's surprised eyes, Sirona winked playfully, "It's just right. I also want to go to him to get the two orbs back."

"So this is the mission..." Hearing the hidden meaning in Sirona's words, Kamal smiled helplessly and sighed lightly, "Then you should pay more attention to your safety, and tell Filio not to worry about me and Judith, and just do your own thing."

"Won't you say anything more?"

"It's not like you can't call. There's no need to talk at length." Kamal shrugged and gave her a meaningful look. "Besides, the child has grown up and matured after all. Parents should not hold back on many things."

"Ah...!" Shirona leaned back exaggeratedly with a complicated look in her eyes, "Same words as grandma, it seems that senior is getting old too!"

After saying that, she made a cute face, stood up and ran away from the laboratory.

"Hey! I'm not old! This girl!"

Kamal pretended to be angry and cursed with a smile, pretending to catch up, but he stopped after taking two steps and watched Shirona run away.

When she disappeared from his sight, Kamal turned around and sat down heavily.

"Alas...it seems there is a new incident. This kid only knows how to report good news but not bad news..."

As he murmured, there was a hint of worry between his furrowed brows.

Priscilla's energetic voice came from a distance. Today's research exchange meeting was about to begin, but he had lost interest.

Chapter 359 The Legend of Ideal and Reality

In the east of Shanlu Town, on the road leading to Ripple Town, two people disguised as travelers walked side by side, preparing to go directly to Ripple Town to meet Chihong.

"I didn't expect Acroma to live in seclusion in a place like this, but it suits him. The transportation is quite convenient and there aren't many people. It's quite suitable for him to calm down and do research."

Thinking of Akroma's expression when he was leaving, he couldn't wait to go back and continue his research, and Philio still couldn't help laughing.

If someone I didn't know were here, I'd probably never imagine that such a gentle researcher was once a powerful figure, and actually built a machine that could control the gods.

"Although he is called a dark scientist, he is not a bad person. It's just that his mind is single-threaded. He can only see things that interest him and then dive into them wholeheartedly. Otherwise, I would not fund his research. I always feel that it would be too much of a waste to keep such a useful brain in prison."

Thinking of the scene where he met Acromar when Team Plasma collapsed, Daigo couldn't help but smile, and Filio also echoed.

Along the way, bathed in the clear sunshine, the two talked and laughed.

But before they left the town far, a road that hadn't appeared when they came last night stood in the middle of the road. Several young men and women wearing alliance police uniforms stood on both sides of the road. A few people had gathered in front of them. Tourists stuck in traffic jam.

"Please note that according to the monitoring of the meteorological and geological departments, the volcano on the main peak of Inversion Mountain has experienced abnormal reactions recently, and there is a risk of volcanic eruption. Therefore, the road from Shanlu Town to Lianyi Town is temporarily closed. Please adjust your travel methods! Thank you for your cooperation !”

High above, a young policeman holding a loudspeaker explained loudly, causing the tourists gathered around to gradually disperse. Only a few people still refused to leave, taking out the alliance's road condition reminders and arguing with the other party.

"...This doesn't seem right. Is there something wrong?"

Daigo narrowed his eyes and told him directly that something was wrong. He subconsciously wanted to take out his ID card and enter directly, but was gently grabbed by Philio.

When he turned around, he saw Philio shaking his head slightly without any trace. He immediately understood his intention and backed away with him.

It wasn't until he reached a deserted place that Dawu stopped and asked doubtfully: "Why don't you let me go and talk to them? If we take a detour, it might be a bit far and there is a risk of exposure."

"I think there's something wrong with these police officers." Filio raised his finger and shook it slightly, "That's what it seems, but there are always some details that are wrong, and it feels very inconsistent."

Daigo frowned: "Details? Please tell me in detail."

"These people are all young, probably no more than twenty-five years old. They look like freshmen who have just graduated from the police academy, but there is a strange roughness on the sides of their cheeks and near the hairline, and their fingers are very Rough, obviously weathered over the years and subjected to a lot of hard physical labor.”

He took out his mobile phone and enlarged the photo taken with the pinhole camera on his chest. Filio analyzed it methodically, but Daigo was a little confused.

"Rough skin and fingers, maybe it's normal for police officers who often train and work in the field?"

"If you are often on field duty, it is normal. However, according to the league's police regulations, police officers in the field and those responsible for administrative affairs are dressed differently. One prefers combat uniforms, and the other prefers... That's the problem with regular clothes. One or two don't matter, everyone is like this, there is a high probability that there is something wrong."

Pointing to the police officer's chest, cuffs and elbows in the photo, Philio spoke firmly.

"You know so much..."

"No, it's just that I have classmates in the police academy. Two of my classmates went to these two classes respectively. They talked about it specifically for me, so I just wrote it down." Fili waved his hand with a smile. Ao took out his mobile phone, found Chihong's number skillfully, pressed the dial button, and said while waiting, "This situation is at least unusual. Even if it is a special situation, it is best to ask clearly. I will contact Chihong. You can check with Daphne, she should have finished her work there."

"Ah, oh, good..."

Dawu's face was still a little dazed, but his body had already taken out the communicator obediently, found an inconspicuous corner and sent a call request to Daphne.

On Philio's side, red also appeared on the phone screen.

After some inquiries, as expected, a similar situation occurred in Lianyi Town, and the repercussions were greater than in Shanlu Town.

As a famous tourist town, the sudden closure of the main transportation road not only caused dissatisfaction among tourists, but also surprised many locals.

Looking at the restless crowd in the camera and the police officers using the same words, Philio thought for a moment and said in a deep voice:

"To be on the safe side, we still need to change the rendezvous location. I'll send you the location. It's the site of a Yongye Organization stronghold that Daiwu and the others have eliminated risks. It should be safe enough."

"Okay, I'll go around the north side of the town, and then I'll go with the pterodactyl to meet you."

Chi Hong also had this intention, nodded in agreement, turned around and left the intersection.

Just as he was talking, the communication on Daigo's side seemed to have come to an end. He stepped forward with a solemn expression and handed the phone to Filio.

While he was talking to Chi Hong, the international police had already found out the situation through the highest authority of the alliance headquarters.

There are indeed small-scale abnormalities in the energy fluctuations of Inversion Mountain, but they do not exceed the limit, nor are they to the extent that roads should be blocked and travel warnings should be issued.

After hanging up the phone, Filio made some calculations.

Although he understood the situation, he did not fully understand the other party's intentions.

If his identity had been revealed at that time, he would have been exposed naturally, but if he had gone around directly...

From another level, the fact that it can be arranged so quickly may mean that the Yongye organization already has an informant in Shanlu Town, so it is suspicious.

Or maybe the movement here is to cover something else...

"boom--"

Just as Philio was thinking, a violent explosion suddenly came from the town behind him.

The two turned their heads, and the thick smoke caused by the explosion and flames was already visible in the distance.

"Not good!" Looking at the position of the smoke, Dawu suddenly felt something bad, "That seems to be the direction of Akroma's house!"

"That's right, it's over there." Philio thought calmly, eliminated all the guesses, and decisively ordered, "Dream Demon, use a cover-up! Chaomeng, take us there and stay hidden!"

【give it to me. 】

A tall figure immediately appeared beside the two of them like a patron saint. With a flash of blue light, the forest immediately became empty.

In an instant, they returned to Akroma's home after leaving not long ago.

However, what appeared in front of them was only a house burning with flames and a Dayu monster that fell to the ground.

Acroma's figure suddenly disappeared.

On the floor of the entrance hall, Acroma Machine No. 1075 was broken into pieces.

On the coffee table in the living room, a cup of coffee was poured on the table, and it has not been spilled yet.

Other than that, there was only one extremely conspicuous cut mark, which almost ran through the entire room from the laboratory to the entrance.

"Are we a step too late...? Damn it! Everything in the lab is gone!"

Daigo rushed out of the lab, fists clenched, furious.

But Philio didn't answer, he just closed his eyes silently, his expression more serious than ever.

After a few days, he once again felt the change in the location of his superpowers. The violent fluctuations in his mental power caused the wound on his cheek, which had not yet healed, to feel a slight sting.

There is no doubt that an extremely long-distance teleportation occurred just a few seconds ago.

The man in black set out again, but his target was not here.

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

In the unknown mountains and forests, dozens of huge pits several meters deep have turned the vibrant green country into a mess.

In the scorched earth, groups of powerful Pokémon guarded the young man with long green hair.

Looking around, there were black-clad figures lying on the ground everywhere. After a fierce fight, the winner was decided.

In the sky above, the dark dragon of ideals released its powerful aura without reservation, keeping a vigilant eye on all directions.

But there was no joy on their faces, especially the young man named N, whose eyes overflowed with anger.

A bloodstain appeared on the smooth white wrist.

Just now, the genetic wedge that he had been carrying with him disappeared and fell into the hands of the man in black who suddenly appeared.

Even Zekrom failed to anticipate his and Armored Mewtwo's surprise attack and was caught off guard.

"Dark super power... Hopeless guy, your past and future are only burning blood."

N stared at the man in black. His innate talent not only allowed him to see through the superpowers of the man in front of him, but also allowed him to see a silhouette of time and space that belonged to him.

"I don't like your ability to see through everything." The man in black took a half step back without leaving a trace and said loudly, "But I still have to thank you for your gift, ideal hero."
