This trainer has no moral principles

The combination of Oath of Grass and Oath of Water turns the opponent's field into wetland and reduces the speed to one-quarter of its original speed.

Whether in the software store of the Elf Encyclopedia or the Elf Item Store in the Battle Frontier, Youzhi has never seen the skill stones for these three skills, which shows how precious they are.

But while he was happy, he suddenly thought of one thing. It seemed that he had no fire-type elves under his command, and there was only one grass-type elf, a goblin in Zelda form, and he didn't know if he could learn it. He had two water-type elves, but if he only learned one of them, it would be a waste of time, so it would be better not to learn it.

“Even if you can’t use it yourself, you can give it to others.”

You Zhi naturally couldn't refuse and accepted it with a smile.

There were no more accidents that night and everything went smoothly until dawn.

After You Zhi said goodbye to Di Qi, he rode on the Canghe Dragon Girl and continued to head towards Zhanlan City. He encountered no problems along the way and arrived at lunch time.

"Hmm, let me think about the plot of this city... Originally, the protagonist needed to go to the secret pharmacy to pick up medicine and take it back to treat Ami's electric dragon. Now, I'm sure that's not necessary. Oh, and you can also get a plot elf here!"

According to the plot of Pokémon Gold and Silver, there are a few monster maniacs named Qingci in Azure City. Because he is threatened by the protagonist's rival, in order to prevent more Pokémon from being stolen, he entrusts his pot to the protagonist for safety.

In the subsequent plot, Qingci will ask the protagonist to return the Huhu. If the protagonist refuses, he will accuse the protagonist of being a thief. Only when the intimacy between the protagonist and Huhu reaches a certain value, he will give the Huhu to the protagonist.

The so-called monster maniacs are a group of trainers who like to wear doll costumes. Most of them are dinosaur dolls, and they have rather crazy personalities.

"This Pokémon should be impossible to obtain. Unlike the previous plot Pokémons, Qingci didn't actively want to exchange Pokémons. He was only forced to entrust the Pokémon to others because of threats. I can't find someone to threaten him..."

For a moment, You Zhi thought it was okay to give it a try, since he was not a good person.

But then he thought again, even if he was threatened, there was no reason for people to entrust the elves to him.

Reality is different from games. In games, the protagonist controlled by the player is the center of the world, and all people and things revolve around the protagonist. No one thinks there is anything wrong with an NPC entrusting an elf to a protagonist whom he has never met. It's just a game setting!

But in reality, a normal person would definitely entrust the elf to relatives and friends whom he knows and trusts, rather than to a stranger.

"Forget it, I'll ask around first, then go to their house and ask about the situation. If they're willing to give it to me, I'll take it. If they're not willing, there's nothing to lose."

Youzhi found a restaurant and enjoyed a delicious and inexpensive seafood fried noodles. When paying, he casually asked the owner if he knew a trainer named Qingci.

It was originally just an unintentional act, but I didn't expect that this person was so famous that even an ordinary noodle shop owner knew him and told him a vague address, which was near the Azure Gym.

Hearing that it was on his way, You Zhi first went to the Azure Gym to make an appointment for the challenge, and then started looking for it nearby. As a result, he really found it. Not only that, he also met an unexpected old friend.

"I received a lot of help from your father back then, but I didn't expect him to disappear so suddenly... I'm giving this Pokémon to you. Don't underestimate it now, it's just a piece of stone. When it's unsealed, it will become a powerful aid to you, just like the legendary white stone that can evolve into a Blue-Eyes White Dragon."

"I will definitely train you carefully and will never let you down."

A red-haired girl wearing tight sportswear and a long ponytail took an elf card from Qingci. There was a huge blue crystal drawn on the card, and the figure of a giant dragon could be vaguely seen in the crystal.

The red-haired girl put away the elf card and said goodbye to Qingci solemnly. When she turned to leave, she saw Youzhi at the corner of the street. Her eyes suddenly lit up and a smile appeared on her face involuntarily.

You Zhi greeted him, "Long time no see. Have you passed the tribe's test?"

"I barely made it, thanks to my trip to the Spirit World with you. Otherwise, I would have definitely failed. Are you here to challenge the gym?"

"Well, I'm still in the process of cultivation. What about you? Have you found your father?"

"No, but the Azure Gym Leader, Ah Si, said he had seen my father, so I came here to find out more."

Yuan Ying suppressed his joy at the unexpected encounter with his old friend and spoke seriously.

Chapter 184 Speculation

According to Yuan Ying's explanation, his father often traveled outside to practice. He once came to the Blue City and met the owner of the gym, Ah Si. They became close friends who understood and appreciated each other. While exploring the Whirlpool Islands, he saved Qingci who was in distress.

About a week ago, Ah Si suddenly called her and said that when he went to the Whirlpool Islands for special training, he saw a masked man whose body shape and features were very similar to her father. He wanted to go up to greet him and ask why he suddenly disappeared, but the man summoned elves to attack without saying a word.

Caught off guard, Ah Si was injured. Fortunately, the opponent had no intention of continuing the fight and just wanted to get rid of him. He quickly rode the elf into the sea and disappeared. He felt that this matter was weird, so he hurried back to the gym and called his friend's home.

"So, next you plan to go to the Whirlpool Islands to search for your father?"

"Well, I learned from Uncle Si the location of the masked man who I met earlier who looked like my father. I plan to search there to see if I can find any relevant clues."

Upon hearing this, You Zhi gave up the idea of ​​finding a hotel to rest. "If it's the Whirlpool Islands, I'll go with you. I happen to know a bunch of local thugs there. With their help, it should be easier to find clues."

"Local bully?" Yuan Ying was confused.

"It's the elves living on the island."

"That would be a great help indeed!" Yuan Ying nodded vigorously, but then hesitated, "But wouldn't that be too much trouble for you? You look like you just arrived on the island. Don't you want to rest for a while?"

"No need, there's no need to be polite between you and me. I'll find a hotel to drop off my luggage and then go out to sea with you."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ying blushed slightly and scratched her ponytail to hide her embarrassment. She said, "That's true. Then I won't be polite to you."

You Zhi did what he said and set off after putting down his luggage. He still rode the Canghe Dragon Girl, while Yuan Ying rode the "Elemental Hero Steam Healer", a five-star elf evolved from Bubble Man. Its effect is to restore the opponent's vitality to the attack value when destroying the elf.

If a powerful Pokémon has this trait, it is equivalent to gaining strong endurance, which is a trait that is far more effective in Pokémon Duels than in Card Duels. Unfortunately, the Steam Healer's attack and defense racial stats are 1800/1000, which is not even as good as the four-star Lizard Yoshihiro, and can basically only be used to bully weaklings.

The two of them rode the elves to the island where the Wind Bird was. You Zhi explained the situation to him, and the other party nodded. He then arranged for his men to conduct a carpet search in the area designated by Yuan Ying.

After a while, an ostrich found the clue.

"Uncle Si said that he summoned a Giant Warrior at the time, so this giant fist mark must be the mark left by the Giant Warrior. The opponent summoned an Electric-type Pokémon very similar to the Elemental Hero Thunder Giant, so the scorch marks here must be the marks left by the other Pokémon."

After careful observation, Yuan Ying quickly identified it.

You Zhi squatted down, touched the scorch marks, and felt a familiar breath: "This is the power of darkness."

"Dark power?"

Yuzhi summoned the Demon Lizard Yihao and made him evolve into a giant lizard form.

"Qixi Yihao actually has an evolved form!"

Yuan Ying had witnessed the Demon Lizard Yihao's uncontrolled evolution firsthand, but she hadn't expected there to be an even crazier form. At the same time, she also sensed the dark power entwined with him. "Such a disturbing aura! It's a wonder your spirit managed to remain calm."

"As long as one's will is strong enough, one can resist the erosion of the dark power... Having said that, it took me a lot of effort to help it regain its mind. If it hadn't had any external help, it would have most likely gone mad and lost control on its own. Moreover, if the trainer was not prepared, he might also be infected."

Yuan Ying understood the hidden meaning: "What do you mean?"

"Assuming that the person that Gym Master Ah Si met that day was your father, then it's very likely that his mind was corrupted by the power of darkness, which is why he never returned home and was attacked by his friends after being found."

Yuan Ying frowned and nodded with difficulty, saying, "Although I don't want to admit it, this way, all of my father's irrational behavior can be rationally explained. Your guess is very likely true."

You Zhi reminded him, "Then you have to be mentally prepared. Even if you find the person, they may not go back with you, and may even attack you."

"...Then knock him out and tie him back forcibly!"

Yuan Ying clenched her fists and quickly made a decision. She was not an indecisive and sanctimonious lady.

Afterwards, the two searched the spot for a while but found no more clues.

The two men were not detectives and did not have the ability to deduce a lot of information based on a small amount of information. Moreover, there were very few traces left at the scene. They only knew that a man suspected to be Yuan Ying's father came out of the cave. As for what he did in the cave and what his purpose was, they knew nothing. His footprints disappeared when he entered the cave.

You Zhi said, "Take some pictures and collect the burnt dirt. I know a psychic who claims to have supernatural powers. He might be able to use this as a medium to divine the suspect's location."

Although Yuan Ying felt that this psychic with superpowers sounded unreliable, there was no better way at the moment. She could only give it a try. She took out her mobile phone to take pictures, and then took out a bag to collect the burnt soil.

"By the way, you just said that the suspect disappeared into the seabed. Perhaps we can start from that aspect."

"You mean, we dive into the ocean floor and look for it?" Yuan Ying shook her head. "That would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if there were two hundred or even two thousand of us, let alone the two of us, we probably wouldn't find anything."

"It's definitely not possible to rely on us. We have to find a local boss for this kind of thing."

"You mean them?"

Yuan Ying pointed at the migrating bird flying with the wind.

"Of course not. They may be able to swim, but they are not good at diving."

You Zhi found Di Qi and asked directly: "Can you contact the leader of Shanghai Dragon God?"

"Quack, quack, quack..."

Canghe Dragon Girl translated, "It said it has a way to contact them, but they must be frantically searching for their reborn subordinates and won't pay any attention to it. Only when they tire of searching will normal negotiations be possible."

"Okay, try your best to contact it and tell it that you want to make a deal with it and ask it to wait nearby for me to come back."

Things are unpredictable. If I had known this last night, I should have found a way to subdue the Sea Dragon God Leader. Now I wouldn’t have to worry about the issue of cooperation.

You Zhi sighed in his heart.

Chapter 185 New Cards and Challenges

Every profession has its own expertise. Since the Wind Bird is not good at searching the seabed, asking the Sea Dragon God for help is a natural choice.

As for the unpleasant conflict that had just occurred with the other party last night, You Zhi didn't take it to heart. As for whether the other party would mind... it would be hard to say if it were another elf. Just because Neotedalus was so quick to leave, You Zhi believed that as long as he could give a satisfactory reward, the other party would definitely agree.

This is an elf leader who is good at calculating and good at weighing the pros and cons, contrary to his rough appearance.

But even if you want to entrust someone, you can only wait a few days. Neotedalus is busy gathering his men. This is the top priority that affects the future development of the Sea Dragon God clan. Even if you can contact him, the other party will not have the time to help.

You Zhi had also thought of contacting other ocean elf races. After all, the sea was so vast, and there was more than just the Sea Dragon God clan. Unfortunately, the Imperial Enterprise did not have such a wide circle of friends.

The vast majority of elves have fixed habitats and will not move easily before encountering serious natural disasters or man-made disasters. Therefore, the foreign elves they can come into contact with are only those in their local area and those in a circle outside their habitat. Coupled with the special environment of Whirlpool Island, the only powerful race that the Emperor Enterprise knows is its mortal enemy, the Sea Dragon God.

The frozen snow owl is a sociable person. He has flown all over the world and made many elf friends, but he obviously cannot be relied upon at the moment.

The matter was over, and they would not find any more clues if they stayed there any longer. The two had no plans to stay on Whirlpool Island overnight, so they decided to return to land before nightfall.

We came together, but left separately.

You Zhi wants to continue to challenge the Azure Gym, while Yuan Ying takes his letter of introduction to Yuan Zhu City to ask the gym owner Songye for divination. If the coordinates can be locked directly, there is no need to look for the Sea Dragon God.

It was inevitable that they felt a little sad as they had to part just after meeting, but neither of them was the type to be shy, and they had also agreed to reunite on the island, so the atmosphere of parting was much lighter than last time.

After returning to Azure City, You Zhi began to prepare for his own gym challenge. Although with his current level, it would not be difficult to get the sixth badge as long as the opponent did not deliberately make things difficult for him, he still had to consider how to solve the singularity in the vortex cave. In particular, the Neon Stone Spirit was very enthusiastic about this matter, so he simply used the opponent as a medium to summon the corresponding spell cards as a reserve.

So within two days of preparation, he successively obtained the Ice Water Curse, the Hydraulic Cannon, the legendary city of Atlantis, a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, magic absorption, and the Goblin Upstart.

Among them, Ice Water Curse is an associated card of Neon Stone, and its effect is powerful.

[Instant Spell: Ice Water Curse]

[Effect: ① As long as there are "Ice Water" Pokémon and the spell card "Ice Water Bottom Ion Girl Cradle" on the field, the opponent's newly appeared Pokémon cannot activate their effects for a period of time; ② When your "Ice Water" Pokémon destroys a Pokémon in battle, you can deal true damage to the next Pokémon equal to the destroyed Pokémon's original attack power.]

Hydro Cannon is an Equipment-type Spell Card that can only be equipped by Water-attribute monsters below level 3. When destroying the opponent's Pokémon in battle, it will randomly make one Spell Card in the opponent's trainer's hand disappear - basically a waste card. Under normal circumstances, Youzhi would not waste spiritual power to refine it.

The Legendary City of Atlantis is a Field Spell Card that increases the Attack and Defense stats of Water Pokémon by 200, continuously restores their Health, and is considered a "sea" under the rules—the very "sea" mentioned in the Sea Dragon Leader's trait.

Holding a shield in the left hand and a sword in the right hand can temporarily swap the attack and defense values ​​of the elves on the field. This can sometimes have an unexpected effect on the Neon Elf with low attack and high defense. Moreover, it is only a D-level card, consumes very little spiritual power, and is also quick to refine.

Magic Absorption is a continuous spell card. Whenever someone uses an instant spell card, it restores 1 health points to an elf. This card has little effect on Neon Elf, but it is a perfect match with Heavenly Gold Knight.

The effect of Goblin Upstart is to randomly obtain 1 Spell Card, at the cost of 1 opponent's Pokémon regaining 1000 Health.

1 for 1, and the opponent can recover health for free. It sounds like a loss, but Goblin Upstart is a C-level card. If you can use it to obtain a higher-level spell card, it is a profit, otherwise it is a loss. In addition, as long as it is activated when the opponent's elf is full of health, the cost is equivalent to nothing.

For Youzhi, who has always had good luck, this is a very practical gambling card.

"Could it be that this card is the same as the mental pollution card, with the content on the card depicting an event that will happen in the future?"

You Zhi fell into deep thought as he looked at the "Ice Water Curse" in his hand. On the card, he could see an elf of the same size as the Neon Elf, and a black figure that was collapsing and shattering.

Logically speaking, low-star elves usually exist in multiple individuals, and only gods and extremely rare high-star elves may be unique. Therefore, the Neon Elves on the card image may not be the Neon Elves under his command. But this card happened to appear in his hand, and at such a delicate time. It is unreasonable to say that it has nothing to do with the Neon Elves under his command.

"Unfortunately, this card only shows the result, not the cause like 'Spiritual Pollution' does. Even if I wanted to prevent it from happening, I wouldn't know where to start."

You Zhi thought about it and finally didn't show this card to the Neon Stone Spirit.

……

Soon the day of the gym challenge arrived. Youzhi and other trainers who came to challenge went to the Azure Gym together. They were led by the disciple in charge of reception all the way to the artificial waterfall at the back door of the gym.

Unlike other gyms that are designed for full-time trainers to challenge, the Azure Gym is also a martial arts gym. The owner, Ah Si, is a famous martial artist in the Johto area. Many young people come here not to learn Pokémon Duel from him, but to practice martial arts. Therefore, the staff in the gym are all disciples.

The artificial waterfall is not high, less than 20 meters by visual inspection. Below it is an artificial pool about half a meter deep. The pool has an inclined slope and the bottom is covered with pebbles.

"Everyone is here."

Ah Si, wearing only a pair of pants, stood barefoot in front of the waterfall. His resonant voice drowned out the sound of the waterfall: "Now, I announce the rules of the challenge. During the duel, both parties must stand in the pool and can command Pokémon to attack the trainer."

Some trainers who hadn't inquired about the information paled upon hearing this. Although they had heard that this person advocated actual combat, this duel style seemed too brutal. They hurriedly asked, "Where is the duel barrier?"

Ah Si snorted, "Of course it will be opened. Although I advocate the pursuit of truth, unfortunately the alliance does not agree. So you can rest assured and don't worry about getting hurt."

The trainer who had asked the question earlier immediately breathed a sigh of relief. While feeling reassured, he couldn't help but mutter that the other party was really wasting his time.

You Zhi glanced at the other person and knew that this person probably wouldn't get the badge.
