This elf world is a bit strange

"boom--"

With a loud bang, the glass shield around Dark Lugia instantly turned into fragments all over the sky, and a deep torrent swept out.

The sudden change caused great disaster to the researchers who were originally very close to it. Several of them were immediately sucked into it. Even those who were lucky enough to stand far away were swept up by the air flow and flew far away.

The survivors shouted in fear and fled in panic. The huge experimental area was suddenly in chaos. The tightly closed doors were opened by the fleeing crowd, and they ran in all directions.

Seeing this, the man in black, who had been smiling just now, became serious. He was not panicked. He just raised his hand and swung out a powerful super power to block all the fragments flying towards him, and then looked at the runaway Dark Lugia with certainty.

The light of superpowers surged instantly and collided mercilessly in the air.

An explosion even more magnificent than before echoed in the air. The redundant energy turned into a powerful shock wave, destroying the few equipment and devices that had not been properly protected. Strong winds whistled, blowing the clothes of the crowd.

As if feeling the stimulation of super powers, a corner of the windbreaker glowed faintly, which was fleeting but was vaguely noticed by the man in black.

He took a half step back calmly, glanced out of the corner of his eye, then raised his head expressionlessly and looked at Erya.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Startled, Uraeus quickly took action and threw out a specially prepared Poké Ball at the moment when Dark Lugia was going all out, and caught the Dark Legend who was still struggling under the suppression of Armored Mewtwo.

“Hu…” He let out a long breath, wiped the sweat off his face, ordered his subordinates to retrieve the Poké Ball, ran to the man in black, and explained flatteringly, “Boss, this is because there is too much energy in the Dark Lugia’s body. It’s just a small accident. Don’t worry, I will immediately organize people to repair the equipment and complete the final anti-purification transformation. By then, it will be your best weapon!”

"Yes, sure." The man in black didn't care. He nodded slightly and recalled the armored Mewtwo. Looking at the mess ahead, he deliberately raised his voice a bit. "Arrange the wounded and the dead according to the highest standards. All researchers present today will receive an extra month's allowance. It will be put into my account. I will come to check it in the evening."

After saying this, amid the cheers of the researchers who were out of danger, he strode out of the door and disappeared around the corner without looking back.

At the same time, in the corner, Firio, who witnessed all this, did not make the slightest sound.

He just quietly observed this unprecedentedly large laboratory, using the cover of a piece of wreckage to search for useful information. He then left an imperceptible mark of superpowers in the corner of the wall, then hid in the corner and looked at Erya fixedly.

Soon, the Dark Lugia released by Erya again began to struggle. Black cyclones surged out of its body, destroying everything, but it was no longer as powerful as before. Under the erosion of the same energy, its mind gradually fell into chaos and calmed down.

As expected, as the crystallization of Team Shadow's technology, this powerful legendary Pokémon has a backup plan.

After secretly noting down what he had seen and heard, and quietly taking away a few notes that the researcher had lost in the corner in his panic, Firion retreated without hesitation and left this dangerous place quietly.

......

......

Fifteen minutes later, in Daphne's room.

As soon as Filio entered the door in a hurry, he saw Daphne who had been waiting for a long time.

Without saying a word, he stuffed a simple structural diagram that recorded the structure of multiple areas and the settings of mechanical weapons into the other person's hand, then closed the door and locked it in one go.

"Listen to me first." Without waiting for Daphne to ask, Firio's voice was short and powerful, "Point C is marked in Akrom's notebook. There are twelve guards. The positions of the sentries are marked. You go to rescue them at night. In addition, the experimental area is at point B, and the man's residence is at point A. Now there is important information. The legendary dark Pokémon has been created by them. It is Lugia."

Daphne raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but raise her voice: "Logia?"

"That's right, Lugia, but it's not the one in Kanto and Johto. It looks young, but it's also very powerful." Firio nodded vigorously and stretched out his hand. "There's no time to lose, so we need to act as soon as possible, preferably at night, today. Give me the diagram of the outer structure now, and I'll confirm the location of the mechanism. Contact Red at night, and you can make arrangements after the main force comes in, and we'll go and raid and decapitate it."

"Ah...oh, okay, here it is!"

Daphne, who was used to giving orders to her subordinates, was a little slow to react and subconsciously chose to follow Firio's arrangements. She grabbed the simple diagram on the table, folded it, and handed it to him.

Only then did she come to her senses, and she grabbed Firion who was about to leave and said, "Be careful and stay safe."

"Don't worry, take care of yourself. I'll be back later."

With a casual smile, Firio snapped his fingers and disappeared.

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

At the same time, in the secret room of the man in black.

Sachi and the man in the bamboo hat stood side by side, with several figures beside them, some unfamiliar and some familiar.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the man in black, with confusion as to why.

They were all summoned from various places by emergency orders, and some were on the way.

The man in black was carefully examining the information that had just been delivered to him on the table.

This was the information that the man in the bamboo hat had urged the regional strongholds to collect at the first opportunity in accordance with his instructions.

[An outpost near Reverse Mountain was destroyed]

[Carlos's several newly built intelligence bases were also hit]

[Traces of movement of the Alliance's direct troops "Storm" appeared in the northeastern desert of Kalos]

......

In just one day, there were extremely frequent attacks in various places, and most of them were concentrated in Carlos, which had been calm for many days.

Everything fell into place, clearly indicating the direction of the alliance.

[The alliance is planning a large-scale operation in Kalos, and several core combat forces and executors are also concentrated there. ]

This is a logically correct judgment.

There is only one anomaly.

He looked at the clothes rack in the corner with a hawk-like sharp gaze, with a cold and proud look.

A windbreaker with burnt corners was hanging on it.

Luck seems to be on his side.

"Almost done, Sachi will notify the remaining few people. Now, everyone should make arrangements according to the plan I will tell you next."

When he raised his head, his tone was irrefutable, strong and majestic.

......

......

The entire base was still operating in an orderly manner, everyone was doing their job and continuing their work and life which was no different from the previous day.

But this is only the case in the outer areas; the heavily guarded inner areas are already undercurrents.

Chapter 362 Internal and external cooperation

Beneath the calm surface, there are undercurrents.

A day later, without the knowledge of most members of the Eternal Night Organization, night fell quietly.

At dusk, Firio quietly sneaked out of the base and arrived at the forest using the token left in Chihong's hands as a guide.

The dozing fighter keenly sensed the approaching figure, stood up, and seeing that it was Firion returning, he happily put down the Poké Ball hidden in his hand and walked forward with excitement.

"Well, is it time to go on a raid? I can't wait to have another fight with that guy. Last time he brought Groudon and Kyogre, I didn't have a good time. You can't compete with me this time."

"I never planned to fight that kind of monster again. If you're willing, I'll leave it to you..." Firio grinned, feeling that his brain circuits seemed to be fundamentally different from the person in front of him. "Let's get down to business. Don't be too relaxed. There's a Lugia in here now. It's very powerful too. Don't be careless."

"Lugia... this is interesting!" After hearing Firion's advice, Chihong's eyes became more interested and he said loudly, "Then I'll fight it first. I've met Lugia once before on Sufang Island and in Johto, but we couldn't fight each other fair and square."

"Is the only thing on your mind about fighting?" Seeing that it was counterproductive, Filio shook his head helplessly and gave up his plan to communicate effectively with Chihong. He changed the topic, "Forget it, where are Daigo and the others? And the reinforcements Daphne mentioned.”

Chihong held her chin up and took out her notebook to look at it before she remembered, "Daigo is close by and will be back soon. As for the other side, I'm not sure about Sirona's situation. They travel by land, so the time is not completely certain, but they will arrive at the latest in the early morning."

Firio calculated the time secretly, and after a while he said, "Okay, we will launch the attack at 2:30 in the morning. That is the time when people are most likely to slack off physiologically. This is the simple map we drew. When Sirona comes, you can give it to her. After entering the base, we will not entangle, but directly attack."

As he spoke, he handed the map that combined his and Daphne's memories to Chihong, picked up the snack that Chihong was about to eat and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbled some meaningless words, and evacuated with the Dream Demon who was also secretly eating snacks.

"Wait... this guy!"

Just as Chihong was about to say something, he saw Mewtwo, who also had his mouth stuffed full. He smiled bitterly, looked at the small dining table with only a few leftovers left, and rolled up his sleeves.

......

......

Chihong was still outside recuperating and waiting for the night battle. Firio, who had returned to the Eternal Night Organization's base, followed the planned route and took advantage of the lax security at night to sneak into the monitoring room.

A blue light flashed, and without any sound, the team that was monitoring the movements in the base, along with the cadres who came to supervise in person, all fell to the ground in front of Mewtwo's mental shock and fell into a deep coma.

Then, according to the previously detected and planned route, Firion and Mewtwo took turns to provide cover in tacit understanding, and together with the well-trained Incubus and Sol, they eliminated the sentries along the way and dismantled all the mechanisms that the man in the bamboo hat had carefully arranged for a long time.

Silently and without anyone noticing, a winding raid route was created.

In the room of the cadre named Millis, after taking a short nap, the energetic Daphne packed her luggage and walked out of the room.

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

At midnight, the Shadow Team's laboratory was still brightly lit.

With the promise made by the man in black, Erya and his men worked with great motivation. While they took turns to rest, the machines and equipment continued to run at high intensity without stopping.

Just as they were working hard to assemble the precious materials into a brand new dark ball, the door behind them suddenly opened.

Immediately afterwards, the elite members of the brigade's Eternal Night Organization rushed in and took complete control of the entire experimental area.

"This is... Boss, what's going on? What happened?"

Erya had a bad premonition. Looking at the man in black walking forward, guarded by Sachi and the man in the bamboo hat on his left and right, he hurried over and asked in fear and trepidation.

"Nothing, just an urgent mission." The man in black glanced at him calmly, then looked at the tired-looking scientists of the Shadow Team, and said in a deep voice, "Prepare the Dark Orbs and Dark Lugia produced today. This mission will allow them to be tested in actual combat. You and your subordinates have worked hard recently. Take a good rest tonight and take a half-day off."

"Eh? This... is, Boss, I understand!"

Everyone in the Shadow Team was confused. Although Erya noticed that something was wrong, he didn't dare to ask. He could only respectfully accept the order and retreat, taking away the researchers who were busy with their work.

Under the watchful eyes of the brigade's fighters who were on high alert, they walked in a hurry, some even casually placing their unfinished experimental materials on the table, and they disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.

When the last researcher left the laboratory, the heavy metal door slowly fell down with a mechanical roar, leaving only darkness.

There was also a roar that appeared from time to time inside.

......

......

Although the retreat was hasty, the knowledgeable Erya was not unprepared for the distrust of the man in black.

Always a cautious person, he sent most of the researchers back to rest and only left behind five of his old subordinates.

“Although I don’t know what they want to do, it’s probably not a good thing.” In the dimly lit room, Erya’s gray beard made him look older. He did not hide his thoughts from his subordinates who had followed him for many years. He said in a vicissitudes of life, “From the very beginning, they never trusted us, and it’s the same now.”

"Boss, just tell me, what are we going to do?"

The red-haired burly man was the most impatient. He had already been irritated by the black-clothed man's previous actions, so he stood up hastily and spoke loudly without suppressing his voice.

"Keep your voice down, Dachim. Do you think we are absolutely safe here?" Xie Yan turned his head and just glanced at him, which made the rude Dachim calm down. "The boss should have a plan. I can take action at any time."

"No, it's not the right time yet." Erya tremblingly took out a dusty box from under the bed and sneered, "We have to be patient. Borg, Venus, how are you doing with the things I asked you to prepare?"

"As you instructed, I have backed up all the research files, including today's content."

The middle-aged scientist with a strange hairstyle calmly took out a disk that was still warm from his pocket.

Beside him, the hot Venus also smiled and nodded, and whispered: "We have arranged absolutely reliable personnel to repair the escape railway in secret. There is also sufficient fuel, and we can set off at any time. This is really thanks to Zordan."

"That's good, Xie Yan, secretly alert all the reliable people. If the situation changes, we will set off immediately."

Erya stood up with satisfaction, looked around, opened the box in his hand, revealing a shiny card.

"There are funds that I have secretly saved over the past few years, and there are also hidden resources. With them, plus our technology, we can still achieve great things when we return to Orei."

Unlike the original world, although the Shadow Team was severely damaged by the Alliance's stranglehold and completely lost control of its base camp Silicon Beryllium City, fortune and disaster are interdependent. With the financial and material resources provided by the Eternal Night Organization, the research that should have taken many years was completed ahead of schedule.

Even if the long-planned plan to steal Lugia failed, as long as there were enough funds and stolen research materials, once they escaped back to Orei, where everything was in ruins, the reconstruction and even revival of the Shadow Team would be just around the corner.

After all... even the Pokémon League would find it difficult to fully control this area that is so barren that there aren't even many local Pokémon.

Amid the flattery of his five subordinates, Erya was very proud, and his laughter could be heard through the crack in the door into the quiet corridor.

Thinking their plan was foolproof, they had begun to imagine the future, but little did they know that Elena and her brother, who were hiding in the dark, had remembered everything.

And they also knew very well that as direct descendants of Dead Gold, it was impossible for them to be fully trusted by Erya.

Just like the Man in Black would never trust the Shadow Team at any time.

The brother and sister, who were vaguely aware of the impending crisis, also had their own plans at this moment.

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

Time slowly passed, and the moonlight was hard to find in the starry night sky.

The mountains were quiet, and so was the base hidden in the mountains.

Except for the sentries who were still on duty, most people had fallen into a deep sleep.

The elite squad that was supposedly there to protect Akromah but was actually there to monitor him was no exception.
