This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 123 Hugs in the Sun (12)

While the two inside the cave communicated to relieve the pressure, the rescue work was also in full swing on the periphery of the landslide site.

Filio's judgment was not out of the question, whether it was Caidou who was involved in diplomatic incidents or himself who had intertwined local relations, it was impossible for the Carlos Alliance not to improve its efficiency.

Master Atli, the chairman of the Carlos Breeders Association, accompanied by director Niels, went to the alliance headquarters to meet with the chairman of the alliance.

That night, Director Nils rushed to Yaoxiang City and supervised the formation together with the Four Heavenly Kings of the Alliance, Pachira.

The old man sitting in the headquarters looked like he should not get close to strangers, as if he wanted to see people when he was alive, and he wanted to see dead bodies.

The large group of people drove from Miare and the alliance headquarters to Haruka and Route 7 at a very high speed. They had already reached the halfway point just after nightfall, and a steady stream of manpower and relief supplies also rushed to the scene.

At the same time, related investigations into the Geological Bureau's serious dereliction of duty were also launched directly on site.

From top to bottom, many officials were quickly brought under control. On the contrary, Vijays's direct superior, Cubaton, was ruled out of suspicion after a simple investigation. Mistakes of oversight must be punished, but as the person who knows the situation in the ruins best However, he was still sent to the rescue scene to commit crimes and meritorious deeds.

This official of the Geological Bureau, who has always been unselfish and innocent from head to toe, is turning his regret into motivation at this moment, and is fighting in the search and rescue together with his Bricaron and the leading gopher.

At the same time as the rescue, the task of cleaning up the remnants of Team Flare is also in full swing.

Paqila, who was born in the Flame team, based on her understanding of the hidden thinking of the Flame team, set up a net in Yaoxiang City and the entire west of Carlos.

Inside and outside the city, it was a brightly lit sleepless night.
-
On the periphery of the collapse site, heavy machinery is under construction, but due to the complex terrain and extremely unstable terrain conditions, they can only move around the periphery. The signal source area that really needs to be excavated has only manpower and a small amount of light equipment, and progress is slow. .

Dozens of senior members of the Carlos Rescue Team and the gym trainers of the Rock Gym are working hard to dig out with their own Pokémon.

Two dusty figures stood side by side.

"Nazie, although I don't like you, I'm a little surprised that you came so early this time. For other things, we can wait until Philio is rescued."

Corni, whose blond hair was soiled by dirt and dust, spoke slowly, and Lucario, who had been working for half the night, stood quietly beside her.

"That's what I have in mind. You cooperate with me and I use my superpowers to open the way."

Nazi's voice was cold, but she took the lead.

After getting the news, she arrived on a special plane without any delay. As soon as she got off the plane, she rushed to the rescue site without stopping.

"It's you who cooperate with me. You superpowers can only do some tricks in the back. Lucario, let's go."

Korni showed no sign of weakness and hurriedly caught up.

The two who couldn't see the slow progress at this moment, regardless of fatigue, directly rushed to the collapsed position to replace the exhausted Chakro.

"Kerni me."

Seeing Korni, Chaklow, who was rescued from injuries, bowed his head guiltily.

"Even if it's not Philio, there will be someone else trapped here. That guy is very lucky and nothing will happen to him. Go rest and continue at dawn. Treat his injuries by the way."

Kerni didn't say much, but just strode forward.

"Strange power! Master Itachi! Do it!"

The two powerful Pokémon immediately started carrying it.

"Hu Di, Taiyang Ibrahimovic, and Coconut Egg Tree, all with strong minds, cooperate with me. The Mengtao people, the magic wall puppet, and the dull king are ready to take over at any time."

Superpowers like the stormy waves were integrated into one body due to Nazi's unimaginable accomplishments, and landed on the collapsed rocks everywhere.

The fighting-type Pokémon being transported felt as if they were lighter in their hands, and their agility became a little more agile.

Although there were only two people, with the blessing of super powers and the unremitting efforts of several powerful Pokémon, the progress was no slower than that of the entire rock gym, and the excavation work began immediately.

Although the two are always hostile to each other because of emotional problems, they have a high degree of unity in their positions when it comes to saving Filio, and they collaborated for the first time in action.

Moreover, the effect of cooperation is still very significant.

Although both parties are unwilling to admit this, the two complementary people are indeed far greater than 1.

In the blink of an eye, it was three days.
-
On the morning of July 7, Yaoxiang Branch, interrogation room.

"You guys should know my style, and you should know that I know what you are telling is not the truth. So, why not be honest? No one will save you, you all know this, or do you have Who wants to experience the feeling of being burned by fire without losing one of their legs?"

Pachira, who was wearing big sunglasses, smiled brightly, but the words she spoke made the remnants of Team Flare shudder.

Beside a few people, a super-powered Miaomiao's eyes were flashing with dangerous light.

Unknowingly, the brains of the members of Team Flare began to get stuck and blurred, and their memories were also slightly confused.

After a few days of manhunts, relying on the in-depth understanding of Team Flare's behavior, Paqila personally led the team and dug out a hidden intelligence den of Team Flare in the downtown area.

Three of the remnants of the Flare Team who were covering Vigers' evacuation that day were killed during the resistance, and the rest were all captured. Only Vijes himself, who had evacuated in advance, is missing.

However, after a round of interrogation, the police had no effective results.

The furious Paqila decided to do it herself, and Ge Jihua also came from Baike to help out, and brought a special investigation order issued by the headquarters.

After extracting one person's memory and turning him into an idiot, the remaining Team Flare remnants immediately poured out all they knew.

As a large intelligence base directly under the management of the top cadre, Acobi, the Haruka base has a lot of internal information about the Flame team, but most of them are about the area west of Carlos, and don't involve too many really important secrets.

The only thing that is certain is that the missing Vijays is a senior undercover agent sent by the Flame team to the alliance, numbered 9, code-named Dilong, who has been lurking in the Geological Bureau for more than four years.

Obtaining information through the earth dragon and delaying the progress of the investigation are the action plans formulated by the remnants of the Flame team early on, with the purpose of obtaining certain mysterious minerals from the series of underground caves.

However, during the critical period of execution, Akobi personally ordered to design this extremely large-scale "destruction plan" for Filio who participated in the investigation. For this purpose, almost all the explosives and related materials in this stronghold were used. Reserve, obviously hates Philio to the core.

"whispering sound"

Outside the interrogation room, Pachira lit a cigarette angrily.

Such a result made her dereliction of duty a few months ago and the large-scale prison break that occurred shortly thereafter even more serious.

Especially after Damir, a senior member of Team Flare nicknamed "Eagle", reappeared and injured several people at the Haruka Gym.
-
At the same time, search and rescue the scene.

The excavation work has made great progress, and a pit of tens of meters is surrounded by steel bars and timber for fixation.

"Wei Li, cooperate with me, let's pull it out together!"

"Macha!"

In front of a big rock, Kerni, whose fingers were covered with bandages, worked together with her own strange strength to pull it out forcefully.

"Hu Di, be strong enough to help."

As soon as he was loosened, Nazhi's voice followed closely.

The super power is wrapped on the rock, and it slowly rises into the air until it reaches the outside of the crater.

The long black hair like a waterfall has become a bit messy at this time.

Dots of blood oozed from the bandages, and wounds of all sizes were everywhere due to the high-intensity physical labor.

Kerni and Nazi, who had hardly rested, were physically and mentally exhausted, but they were still fighting on the front line.

The same is true for Chakro, the Big Rock Snake and Longlong Rock are almost non-stop, and the Strange Jaw Dragon and the Ice Snow Dragon are also responsible for the transportation work with their powerful strength.

"Guys, please take a rest. Fighting like this is not the answer. The life detector has detected the fluctuation below, and it will definitely be rescued. We will help you share some of the burden."

The captain of the search and rescue team couldn't stand it, so he stepped forward, handed over a few bottles of water, and persuaded.

As a professional, it is difficult for him to support such high-intensity work.

"No, let's do it for a while."

Korni took the water bottle and frowned slightly.

The pain in the fingertips became more and more obvious, and it seemed that some medicine needed to be applied and tightened.

"Little Korni, you really should take a break. And you, little Nazi, you are all too tired, this is not good, I'm afraid it won't be too good to see you like this after Philio is rescued."

Behind him, a friendly voice came.

"Senior Ge Jihua? Are you here too?"

Korni turned her head in surprise and saw her elder sister with a gentle smile.

"Of course, my lovely junior got the Flame team trapped inside, how can I come and take a look? Leave it to me here, you go and rest for a while, and Chakro, I know you have good ears Shi, go back and rest."

With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen powerful Pokémon rushed forward, knocking down the three of them.

In the distance, a member of the search and rescue team who was working said to the people next to him enviously:

"The identities of the people here are really extraordinary. They are another gym leader, there are already three of them. There is also Miss Nazi, the gym leader of Kanto."

"You are not envious of this, Brian. Didn't you hear what the captain said? The big shots at the alliance headquarters are watching the results at any time. Come here and help!"

Another member of the search and rescue team responded while beckoning.
-
Below the excavation site, in the collapsed cave.

The cracks on the top gradually expanded one after another.

Many large and small tools were propped up above, and the dream monster's superpowers were reinforced from time to time, so it was still stable for the time being.

Below, the air was still turbid and the oxygen bottles had been used up a lot, but Filio and Caido were in good physical and mental condition.

A claustrophobic environment always greatly increases people's desire for expression. After spending three days together day and night, they became close friends who talked about almost everything.

Taking this opportunity, Cai Dou confides all the anguish she experienced in devil training and elite education since she was a child, clearing away all the barriers in her chest.

At this moment, although her complexion is a little pale, her expression is relaxed and her eyes are soft, which is quite different from when she first met in the dessert contest.

Leaning against the slightly trembling rock wall, she said softly, "In the past two days, I've talked so much about myself, why don't you tell me about your experience? It's not fair."

Having stepped out of her paranoid pursuit of victory and honor, she also re-displayed a bit of girlish liveliness and playfulness.

"My experience? My story is not as exciting as yours. In fact, just a few months ago, I had barely left my hometown in Salo. What do you want to hear?"

Hearing her ask about his affairs, Philio raised his head and looked at the little dream demon who was still flying around in the air full of energy.

"Madge? Madge!"

Feeling Philio's gaze, the little dream demon came down with a "chirp" and sat on his shoulder.

"I want to hear something." Cai Dou rested her chin, thinking hard, "Ah, yes, tell me about your childhood, I'm very curious."

"When I was a child? Things were quite complicated when I was a child, and I don't remember them clearly."

Philio shook his head slightly. This story was really the worst to tell, because he couldn't remember much at that time.

"At that time, my super powers had not yet awakened, and I was often confused. Thanks to Kerni who always took me around to play, I felt happier."

"Is there anything particularly impressive?"

Philio's answer obviously did not satisfy Caidou, who was so curious, but aroused her interest and made her eager to ask.

"Well, yes, it should be when I was seven or eight years old. She took me to the beach to watch the summer fireworks show. Although I can't remember the specific details now, the fireworks that night will still be on the beach every now and then. It flashed before my eyes. It should be the best I have ever seen."

As he said that, Philio closed his eyes, and in the pitch-black field of vision, he could vaguely see the very young Corni and the fireworks that bloomed in the night sky that night.

"That's it, that's great."

Caidou was a little envious. She had almost no such simple and fragmented experience.

At that time, she undoubtedly could only stay in the dojo to practice at night, with a good partner who was still strong in the wrist.

"Although it is a bit difficult, it feels like your life is quite fulfilling and happy."

"Of course, I also cherish that time. Without the beating at that time, I wouldn't be what I am now. In fact, you are the same, at least you are very strong now. Given time, you might become the league champion. Don’t deny me as your friend now.”

Feeling emotional, Philio suddenly thought of something and made a habitual joke.

Without thinking, the girl nodded solemnly.

"Champion? Well, I will work hard. Becoming a champion and the strongest fighter is not only the dream of my family, but also the dream of me and Guaili and the others."

Her little fists were clenched tightly, and a fierce fighting spirit emerged from her eyes.

"Ah, does Cai Dou have such a passionate side? I need to get to know you again, but I believe you can do it. You are a genius."

Seeing the other side of Caidou, Filio was also a little happy and inexplicably relieved.

Although he himself is not the kind of very pure trainer who strives for dreams such as "master" and "champion", he respects friends who take this as their goal and are willing to work hard for it.

"Hehe." Caidou scratched his head a little embarrassedly. Caidou still wasn't used to saying what he was thinking so straightforwardly. "What about you? What is your dream?"

"My dream? Well. This is really a good question. My dream should be to grow up with my partners. It doesn't matter what the goal is. I enjoy the progressive state of becoming stronger and better with everyone. .”

Rubbing the dream monster's little face, and flicking the elf ball that responded tremblingly with his hands, Philio's eyes were full of longing and anticipation.

Progress and growth are his unremitting pursuits.

"Grow up?"

Caido was thoughtful.

After a few days of communication, she was gradually able to understand Filio's thoughts.

Not the victory itself, but the thing behind it.

With a smile on her face, she stretched out her hand towards Philio: "I think I know what you are pursuing. Can you be my opponent and partner?"

"If you want opponents and partners, of course I would like to ask for it."

The girl's sunny smile moved Filio very much.

He stretched out his hand without hesitation and held Caidou together.

"hiss"

Maybe it was a little bit of force, but the injured right arm started to hurt. Filio, who was caught off guard, gasped, his expression was exaggerated, and Caidou couldn't help but laugh.

"This time, it's a blessing in disguise. It made me think about a lot of things. Maybe it's not right to say it at this time, but I'm actually really happy now."

The true feelings were revealed, Caidou broke the shackles, and her smile was pure and flawless.

"This is the worst!"

"click"

Just as Philio was about to answer the call, there was a sudden abnormal noise from the rock wall above, which interrupted the harmonious conversation between the two.

Filio stood up abruptly and looked at the crack in the roof of the cave.

Unlike the previous small fight, it now began to expand rapidly.

"Sun Ibrahimovic! Big Mouth Baby! Bogaman! Wind Fairy!"

The poke ball bounced off, and several Pokémon quickly appeared beside them, looking up vigilantly.

On the ground, the deflation valve of the oxygen cylinder was opened with a light touch of Caidou, and the thin air improved accordingly.

"Strange power! Eight-clawed martial artist! War dancer! Onion soldier! Be alert!"

The small space was instantly occupied by Pokémon one after another.

The two looked at each other, and both saw each other's seriousness.

"Relax, we can handle it."

"Ok, I know."

Caidou took a stance, and Filio's superpowers also spread rapidly, intertwined with Sun Ibrahimovic's superpowers, to guard against possible collapse at any time.

"click"

The slight noise was especially noticeable in the small cave that was so quiet that only the sound of breathing remained.

The cracks gradually widen, and the tension between Filio and Caidou gradually builds up.

"tick"

A drop of sweat slid down Caidou's chin to the ground, breaking into countless petals.

"boom--"

A loud noise came from above, deafening.

The rock wall with the cracks accumulated to the extreme was completely shattered in an instant.

Countless rubble fell from above.

"Hold on! Keep your mind strong!"

"Hold on!"

The two people who were on high alert shouted at the same time, and the layers of green light curtains appeared indestructible under the blessing of super powers.

Several Pokémon soared into the air, and countless attacks fell on the rock, completely smashing it into powder.

"Swish"

Suddenly, dazzling sunlight shone down from above.

The dazzling white light instantly filled the eyes of the two of them.

After staying in the extremely dark conditions for more than three days, they suddenly became unable to open their eyes in the face of the glare of the afternoon sun.

Eyes closed tightly, tears welling up unconsciously.

A piece of golden red appeared "in front of my eyes", and there was a tingling sensation even across my eyelids.

In a daze, Filio only felt that his body was lifted into the air by a soft and familiar force. He flew for an unknown amount of time before he felt down to earth again.

Before he could feel the sunshine and air, two soft bodies hugged him between them.

The familiar scent and instinctive spiritual connection made him instantly realize that the visitors were none other than Korni and Nazi, whom he had missed countless times while trapped.

The pressure accumulated for a long time turned into an emotional impulse. He stretched his arms and hugged the beautiful woman tightly while bathed in the hot sun.

The long-lost warmth from the outside to the inside made him feel infinitely comfortable and satisfied.
