This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 233
Calm days lasted until mid-February.

With a round body and a little Kirby that seemed to be fatter than at the end of last year, a satisfied Ina returned the victory.

Cocobul's mysterious inheritance ceremony that lasted for more than a month on the top of the Refining Tower was finally completed, becoming even more shining than before, and the shimmering mega stone that made Big Mouth Baby feel particularly friendly and fluctuating also returned to Philio. hands.

An optimized version of the high-level elf food recipe gradually matured under the combined influence of Millia's creativity and Filio's analytical ability. It was slightly stronger than the one that allowed Millia to be approved as a high-level trainer. .

From a long journey to a fulfilling but comfortable daily life, the experience accumulated over the past few days has been released, the tense heartstrings have also relaxed, and the growth of abilities has steadily improved with relaxation.

With the unlimited supply of resources and the special training from hell personally promoted by Muriel, the half-year-old Heart Scale Pokémon has finally ended its relatively long infancy period for quasi-god Pokémon, and its physique has become stronger and stronger. His abilities in all aspects were rising steadily, and his energy accumulation was like sesame seeds blooming. He jumped to level 38 before he knew it.

However, perhaps because the accumulation is too deep, or it still has potential that has not been fully developed, until now, it still has no evolutionary trend, but the scales on its head are getting brighter and shiny, and its hard little head is getting taller all day long. Raised high, full of contentment.

Not only the younger Xinlinbao, but also the other partners have their own achievements, including the Wind Fairy and Storm Dragon who were a little uncomfortable at the beginning when they came to Philio's house for the first time.

Under Judith's kind care and caring care, no matter whether it is the aggressive but calm big man or the petite and mischievous little guy, they all quickly sink into a comfortable daily life and live a more comfortable life than before. Come to the day of opening your mouth.

However, among them, the one who has truly improved tremendously is the dream demon who never takes a moment to relax during the hard training, almost reborn.The soft and petite body contains extremely strong fluctuations of ghost energy, like a bottomless abyss.

Even Muriel and Geng Gui felt exhausted after more than a month of joint practice. What they had learned throughout their life was like clear water, easily absorbed by the extremely dry sponge in front of them.Even this pair of well-informed old partners can't help feeling the ruthlessness of the years and the power of talent.

If he goes on step by step, in a few days, Aix, who came back from Chaoxiang Town again, will have his last gymnastic challenge with Filio.

It's just that plans often can't keep up with changes.
-
On this day, Nazi, who had completed the final publicity and awards for the two films, was finally about to finish her work in the Hezhong area, and she was going back to Mira soon.

There are already many staff at the beachfront villa, and they have started cleaning in advance.

Early in the morning, Filio and Corny canceled other trips as planned, and turned on the satellite TV in Corny's room in the Refining Tower.

Today they are going to watch a broadcast of a heavyweight battle.

In the Galar region, the final of the palace gate meeting, the supernova duel, Caidou vs. Mary.

The fighting girl, who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, sent out an invitation to her rival early on. Naturally, Philio would not spoil the other party's interest and sat in front of the TV early.

After not seeing each other for many days, he was full of expectations for this girl who had allowed him to taste the rare bitter pill of defeat, especially those two powerful Pokémon, the Octopus Warrior and Wei Li.

The partners gathered together and packed the not-so-spacious boudoir to the brim. Except for Tyrannosaurus, who hadn't figured out who the other party was, and Xinlinbao, who had only vague impressions before hatching, their impressions of Caidou The extra-deep partners all watched attentively.

It stands to reason that it should be a close fight between dragons and tigers, at least that's how it should be in the propaganda of the Galar media.

But the results are not always the same.

Maybe it's because of his extraordinary talent, his real wealth, or his frequent contact and mutual promotion with Philio. Caidou's growth can also be described as rapid growth.

The aces, who had never had a chance to appear in the previous battle, all attacked in the decisive battle with Marie.Indistinctly, the formidable fighter who will achieve results comparable to the league's four heavenly kings in the future championships has begun to show some clues.

Coupled with Caidou's precise and swift command, even Ma Li, who had also retained her strength in previous battles, gradually became unable to cope.

Although the two people are equally popular, there is still a gap in strength that is visible to the naked eye.

After a tepid battle at 5 to 3, Mali, who was fighting her last battle, sent out her ace Pokémon, the Hairy Troll, to defeat the eight-clawed warrior who would not be able to rotate in the future. While regaining a victory, she also left behind He suffered minor injuries.

What's waiting for it is Caidou's ace Pokémon, Wei Li.

After a very Gigantamax showdown in the Galar region, there was no longer any suspense about the outcome.

The final score of 6-4 seemed a bit stalemate, but it seemed smooth and calm.

"March..."

Staring at the screen with a solemn expression, the little dream demon's eyes flashed with fear.

The progress of the Wei Li Breakthrough King is slightly faster than it. The difference in size back then, although it has shrunk now, still exists.

"Buy."

"Enpei!"

There was also a sense of urgency in my heart, as well as Ibrahimovic the Sun and Nabo the Emperor.

Zhan Wulang and Octopus Martial Artist, who were not far from the Heavenly King Pass, also put a lot of pressure on them. When they fought head-on, even if they were full of confidence in their own strength, it was hard to tell the outcome.

"Little Caidou's progress is really fast." Kerni held her chin lightly, and she spoke with a bit of envy.

Even after awakening the power of the waveguide, her other partners had not yet completed this huge breakthrough in their life levels within a few months.

Looking at Caidou, who was slightly younger than herself, she, who had always been optimistic, could not help but feel a bit of comparison.

Seeing that Filio didn't respond, she raised her head and saw the other person's profile. She was so focused that her sharp eyes seemed to penetrate the TV screen and go to the distant Galar to compete silently with Caidou. .

In the center of the Gongmen arena, the defeated Ma Li exited the arena somewhat sadly amidst the encouragement of the supporters, especially the bluffing shouting team.

The victorious Caidou, with a calm expression on his face, took the trophy from the approving champion Dandi, held it gently to his chest, and faced the media's criticism as if he had just done a trivial thing.

When being interviewed by reporters, even when delivering her championship speech, her expression was still calm to the point of being a little cold and distant.

After routinely promoting Galar Karate and the Tracing Arena, they seemed to have nothing to say and fell into a brief silence.

Facing the venue that went from roaring to silent, she seemed a little nervous and uneasy as she was unable to speak. She raised and put down the microphone several times. It was not until she saw the encouraging eyes of Dan Emperor that she made up her mind to make a decision.

A blush of excitement appeared on the wheat-colored skin. Surrounded by his partners, the Galar winner took a deep breath and issued a declaration of battle to the media in various regions:

"Filio, I will wait for you to challenge me again in the next regional youth competition! But next time, I will be the winner! Just like that time in Haruka City!"

The resounding declaration of victory immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the Palace Gate Arena. Luoz, who is proficient in marketing, stood on the high rostrum, playing with a strand of hair that he deliberately kept hanging down, showing a playful smile.

The naturally drooping hair was curled and stretched under the action of fingers, drawing a crooked arc, which didn't look very good-looking, but was very popular with Roz himself.

With this habitual action, he had a new inspiration.

"Olivia, I have a new idea, and it will definitely be hotter than the finals of the palace gate meeting."

"Your will, President."

The bustling Palace Gate Arena and the media that smelled the heat set off a carnival, and the Mallocommon Group, which monopolized all major industries in Galar, also took action.

【Advance battle across regions】

This must be a hot topic, especially when the other side of the battle is the favorite to win the championship in the Carlos region, which has countless grievances with Galar, and the conference in this region has not yet decided the results, and has not even officially started. when.

Controversy is heat, and heat is the cornerstone of popularity, which is indispensable on the way to the rise of every strong man.

For a time, the Myare Conference and Filio, which had not yet officially opened, were pushed to the forefront of countless discussions. Even a Cai Bean had never imagined that, between accidents, the Galar Alliance and Carlos Union are sure to be happy with the way it works.

"... He is such a random guy. He usually doesn't like to talk, but when he talks, he makes big news for me. Isn't this putting me on the fire?"

In front of the TV, Felio looked at Caido, whose face was flushed with excitement and a little rebelliousness. She had been following the rules since she was a child. It was rare that she broke through the constraints of the rules. She thought she would be very happy.

It's just that, in various senses, this friend of mine also has the potential to become a topical figure - if he doesn't make a sound, he will become a blockbuster, and if he is not careful, he can become the center of a hot topic. way to principle,
Thinking in this way, he smiled, and was about to complain to Emperor Nabo and the little Meng Yao, but suddenly felt a slight itching at the eyebrows, raised his hand to scratch, and it relieved a little.

It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly realized that he had stood up unknowingly, with infinite strength surging from his limbs, and he didn't even notice when Kerni left the room.

Maybe it was the spirit of a young man, maybe it was a pure desire to win, or maybe some kind of sympathy was fermenting. Facing the invitation from a rival, he didn't retreat or feel nervous at all. Dissipated quietly, leaving only expectations.

The slightly trembling right hand was raised in front of the body, and the slender fingers were gently closed and clenched into a fist.

From the tips of his fingers to his heart, which obviously accelerated its beating rhythm, every cell quietly aroused a new fighting spirit.

To be precise, the blood is boiling.

"March!"

"Buy!"

"Elu!"

The Dream Demon, Sun Ibrahimovic, and Wind Fairy who had personally fought against Caidou all of a sudden stepped forward, and the same fighting spirit flashed in their gentle or childlike eyes.

Emperor Nabo, Big Mouth Baby, Tyrannosaurus and Heart Scale Treasure followed closely behind. They also felt the same feelings as their partners. After recuperating, they released their unprecedentedly powerful aura without reservation.

They never care about the false reputation of the outside world, but an opponent worth fighting cannot be missed.

There is always some lazy trainer, with his partners of different personalities, who has found a new, short-term future goal.

Win the championship of the Miare Conference and answer the genius' friend and nemesis.

"bang"

While Filio and his friends were still immersed in Caidou's bold and sincere invitation, Corny who had left the room at some time pushed the door open and entered.

The bright smile was replaced by seriousness, and the fair little face hardened.

"Something went wrong, Philio, I have to go to the alliance branch as soon as possible."

"?"
-
Above the vast expanse of waves, the ship, which symbolizes the crystallization of human technology, is cutting through the waves and sailing towards the northeast.

On the giant ship headed by him, Qiu Ke, who was dressed in neat clothes, silently walked onto the deck and stared at the sea in the distance, his brows and eyes filled with unbreakable gloom and melancholy.

After several fierce battles, the Flame Special Operations Team, which had lost more than half of it, lined up neatly behind him, and the windbreaker outside the combat uniform was rattling in the sea breeze.

Eustace stopped a few steps behind him, and said in a loud voice: "Lord Juke, the first and third teams of the special operations team have assembled, and the fourth team is on standby in the cabin, ready to be dispatched at any time."

"Thank you for your hard work, Eustace." In more than a month, Qiu Ke's hair almost turned pure silver white. His whole person seemed to have aged a lot from the torment of hard thinking. He lowered his voice to only himself and himself. His direct subordinates could hear him, and he said slowly, "I always feel that what we are doing now is not much different from the scum we exterminated in the past, pinning our wealth and lives on vain hopes."

"As you said, we have no choice. Moreover, we also have a final self-protection strategy, don't we?"

Eustace took a step forward, responding to Joke's self-question with neither humility nor condescension.

"It makes sense, we are not the bait without the slightest bargaining power, it is the same to either side." Juke nodded slightly, looked around, his eyes were calm and cold, "Order, No. [-] and No. [-] ships are heading southeast for three hours. I rushed to the scheduled location and took my message to meet with the other party. The first ship continued to maintain its course, the target, the Alola area, and if everything goes well, we will meet there.”

"Yes, Master Qiu Ke, I will follow your will."

Respectfully bowing back, Eustace walked quickly to the command tower in the driving area, followed by a small group of elite combatants who broke away from the neat formation.

Not long after, the signal light came on, and the ships lined up on the left and right of the flagship slowly slowed down, turned around, and sailed into the same unknown blue.

The ripples on the water surface slowly spread and then quietly disappeared.

In the sky, birds flew past and then quickly turned back.
-
Salo City, Alliance Branch, Temporary Combat Command.

The plump blonde beauty sat in the main seat, and behind her was a sea chart filled with countless lines and flashing light spots.

A few seats under the stage have been quietly vacated, and the remaining seats are filled with trainers wearing the uniforms of the Carlos Alliance and the International Police. From time to time, dense footsteps can be heard in the corridor outside the conference room.

"All intelligence and combat plans have been conveyed. This is precious information obtained at the expense of two intelligence agents. Please cherish the opportunity. Next, please act separately and cooperate according to the previous deployment of Mr. Qiao An and I. King Genji of Hoenn will catch all these rats hiding under the sea."

She glanced at the audience without anger and prestige, and after getting a positive response, Daphne nodded in satisfaction and got up, and walked out of the venue first.

The once busy port was now filled with a murderous atmosphere. Alliance trainers with solemn expressions seemed to appear out of thin air, blocking all entrances, exits and routes, and enforcing the strictest control.

The high-power signal jammer blocked the communication equipment of everyone in the port, even if an anti-jamming system was installed, it would not help.

In the loading and unloading area of ​​the container, the wolf-like international police, with the cooperation of the Salo Division, launched a precise attack. Based on the intelligence obtained in advance, they captured the few remaining Flaming Team spies and unidentified intelligence personnel.

After a while, the ship disguised as a civilian ship took off its disguise and sailed to the open sea.

Only a hundred kilometers away from Salo City, on the edge of the high seas in the dark under the lights, the seemingly ordinary island has another story.

Under the barren mountain is an underground world that has been completely hollowed out.

This is a hidden black market in the northwest of Carlos, and all people are transported by small boats.

Inexhaustible pirates and poachers, some bounty hunters wandering between black and white, and overt or covert evil organizations in various regions trade supplies and information here, and spend their own life-saving wealth.

The old man with stern expression but plain clothes and the young man with short black hair were sitting opposite each other in the noisy bar.

"Teacher...ahem, Captain, the environment here is really hard to describe." The young man picked up a glass of low-quality whiskey, took a sip and put it down, and hurriedly changed his words under the glare of the old man.

"Adjust your hair." Facing his disciple's complaints, Genji, who was also a little uncomfortable with his clothes, shook his head, and as a reminder, he picked up the wine on the table, shook it twice and then put it down, "It's still not as good as milk..."

People were coming and going in the noisy bar, and everyone's eyes were focused on the scantily clad girl and the vulgar but bold wealthy pirate. No one paid attention to the old and young couple who were staying silently in the corner.

But at the corner of the second floor, two pairs of falcon-like eyes were always scanning all directions.

As time draws near, the death knell has sounded the prelude, but the ignorant people are still carnival.

To the north of Sala, on the open sea, three large and extremely streamlined aircraft flew across the air in a graceful arc.

In the command cabin where people were coming and going, Filio found the refrigerator in a familiar way, took out two bottles of juice that someone had secretly hidden for personal use, and handed them to Korni beside him.

"Why do you seem to know this spaceship better than me? Also, can't you get me a bottle too?!"

Looking at Filio who didn't notice anything, Qiao An had several black lines on his forehead.

"If you want to drink, take it yourself." Philio shrugged nonchalantly, and waved to Novak, who was busy collecting combat supplies in the distance, "Every time I see you, it's nothing good, it's considered a mental loss Fee."

Joan winked narrowly: "I didn't come to block you this time, it was you who insisted on coming here with the owner Kearney."

"Come on, our little cucumbers are here, can I not come? I'll see you to the end." With disgust, he glanced at the big man who was loyal on the outside and cunning on the inside, Philio didn't bother to break up with him, "Speak Now, which road is it this time, ghosts and snakes?"

"To be honest, I don't know the whole picture. Even Genji Tianwang was invited by the international police, and we just cooperated." Joan shook his head honestly, his Chinese face was full of sincere doubts, "But our The goal this time has something to do with you and me."

"Who?"

"Do you still remember the first time we met? You wiped out a few pirate groups, and I led people to clean up a group of Flame Team, that's the group. We wiped out their second team last time, and the rest , on a large ship to the north. The leader, Jake, code-named [Sea Devil], was the cadre of the Flame team who had been harassing the coastline before. He used to be an executive of a foreign trade company, and he was as slippery as a loach .”

"Yes, it's this guy!" Talking about this opponent who exhausted her life, Kerni was so angry that she didn't even bother to drink the juice. She said angrily, "I almost caught him several times, but I always It was to let them escape in speedboats and submarines, and Joan and the others didn’t bring aircraft to help, so I made several trips in vain!”

"That is to say, new and old grudges are piled together?" He drank the juice in his hand with his neck raised, and Philio nodded with a half-smile, "It's enough to give him face, it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies." ?”

"The chairman means that safety is the most important thing, life or death is the most important thing. But if you can, catch him alive. There may be something very important in that person's head. Genji Tianwang and Ms. Daphne came here specially for this, even...even Flame There is also a group of mysterious people behind the team."

Joan's words were polite and reserved, and Philio naturally understood the elegant meaning after hearing the string song, and nodded knowingly: "Understood, then give the old man a New Year's gift? Hearing you talk about Genji Heavenly King, I suddenly have It’s a small idea, maybe it will really work.”

Qiao An's eyes lit up: "You don't know how to... Ha! I know you have a lot of clever ideas, let me tell you!"

"Since Genji Heavenly King has revealed his whereabouts, and now there are other things to do, then this resource and information can't be wasted, you will..."

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a hint of amusement flashed in Filio's eyes, with a hint of indifference.

As if they had a pair of clairvoyance, the three Carlos-class combat spaceships carefully built by the Storm Troopers at a huge expense were like arrows, passing over the sea and heading straight for the endless ocean in the north.

Bait, prey and hunter, the identity of each participant may change at any time.

The secret hidden in the deep blue is still undetectable, but it is gradually beginning to be unveiled.

In the past, there were only fishermen, travelers and ocean-going ships in the empty sea area, but today it has become extremely quiet but undercurrents.

Those who passed by here, without exception, were pushed to the forefront.
