This elf world is kind of weird

It was too late for the three of them to be surprised by the sudden change. As the last champion to arrive at the Quartz Plateau, Filio's registration had just ended, and the representative of the organizer who got the news, Kona, the Four Heavenly King of Kanto, appeared in front of him.

"Kona? What are you doing here?"

Nazi sensed something was wrong, got up and asked.

"Filio player Carlos, you are the last champion to complete the registration, please follow me now and gather in the square outside. Your competition has other arrangements, and all irrelevant personnel are not allowed to follow."

Kona put a little emphasis on the word "irrelevant personnel", and glanced over Nazi indifferently.

The two people who already had a lot of grievances were like two powder keg encountering sparks, and they were about to explode.

"you……!"

Nazhi frowned slightly and glared angrily. She was about to have a fit when Filio took her hand and pressed it down gently.

His eyes signaled her not to be impulsive, and Philio whispered in his ear: "Relax, it's okay. And don't I have a positioning system? Just keep in touch at any time. If anything happens, I will find Chaomeng as soon as possible .”

After patting the back of Nazi's hand twice, he let go, looked at Kona and said loudly: "Since you can't watch the battle live, then you can go back to Jinhuang City and wait for my good news."

"Then please follow me, Caidou, and you too. Players from all over the world are already waiting for you outside."

The corners of her mouth were raised slightly, and the flamboyant red-haired beauty glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Na Zi, who was still angry, and turned around with her long hair fluttering, and left leisurely first.

At her urging, Filio let go of his hand and walked side by side with the calm Caidou towards the specially-made advanced aircraft parked in the square outside.

This is good, at least I figured out the purpose of being curious when I came here.

From the completion of the registration to the departure of the group, it took only ten minutes to complete the calculation, and the efficiency was so high that it was not like the Kanto Alliance.

The tide of energy surged on the flat square, and in a blink of an eye, the aircraft lifted off and headed north, leaving only a small black spot on the sky.

In a corner of the square, Nazhi straightened her hair that was blown by the wind, took out her mobile phone, and dialed a familiar yet unfamiliar number.
-
Galar area, Rods building, president's office.

Olivia, who was in a hurry, walked quickly to Roz's desk with the document in hand. After clearing her throat, Roz, who was still immersed in the mobile game, immediately raised his head and asked as if nothing happened, "What's the matter?" , Olivia?”

Olivia nodded expressionlessly: "I have something to report to you, President. About the regional youth competition that will be held in Kanto soon."

"Regional Youth Competition? Hasn't Marlowe TV passed away?" Luoz was puzzled, and put the phone back in the drawer. "Could it be that there is something wrong with Caidou? I remember that she has been talking to the Four Heavenly King Xi in Guandu. Let's train together."

"Everything is fine with Miss Caidou. There is a problem with the competition itself." Olivia shook her head, put the file in front of Luoz, and said in a deep voice, "The Marlow TV team just sent back news that the regional youth competition has changed. According to the competition system, all media platforms are prohibited from live broadcasting. At the same time, the headquarters of the Kanto League and Pokémon League also sent us an official note, notifying us of the decision to change the competition system, but refused to disclose specific information.”

"Oh? Change the competition system... and keep it secret from all leagues..." After reading the report at a glance, Luoz leaned back casually, and gently shaved his beard with his fingers, "You said they wanted to What kind of tricks are you doing? It doesn’t look like that old-fashioned Kanto, and it also brought the Pokémon League headquarters..."

"Sorry, our source did not receive any information, President. But now there is one more thing that you need to decide. Should you lodge a protest with the other party in the name of the Galar Alliance?"

Olivia bowed to apologize and waited for Roz's reply.

Her complexion is also not good-looking, and she is very angry at the Kanto Alliance's practice of changing the order without any explanation.

"If you protest, yes, the wording must be strict." After pondering for a moment, Luoz, who could see Olivia's mood at the moment, stood up, walked to her side and said softly, "But remember, there must be loud thunder and little rain, and nothing practical Actions."

"Your will, President. But can you tell me why?"

Olivia nodded in agreement, but her eyes were still a little confused.

"You think Guan Du is too arrogant, don't you? I think so too, but there's no point in arguing with emotions." Walking back to his seat with a smile, Luoz crossed his legs and said Shi Shiran, "Our purpose of publicizing this matter It has been realized, and the effect is surprisingly good, so ah, this is not a bad thing now. Play normally, and everyone will be happy if you win. If you lose, you will make a wedding dress for the Carlos. For safety."

Seeing Olivia's sudden realization, he smiled without saying a word, and watched his capable secretary and assistant leave quickly.

There was still half a sentence he didn't say.

Under his governance, it is enough for Galar's banner figures to have the strongest champion, and it would be unsightly for the rest to overwhelm the host.

Even if it is a fledgling and equally native Galar local genius.
-
The hunting winds swept over the spaceship, completely unable to stop the rapid progress of this technological crystallization full of streamlined beauty.

In less than an hour after departure, the border coast of the Kanto Continent has already fallen behind it, and the front is a boundless ocean.

In the command hall of the spaceship, conference champions from eight regions gathered here under the call of Kona, sitting together in twos and threes.

Some of them have been here for a few days, with nothing to do. They read the thick player manual several times, got a preliminary understanding of the upcoming competition, and roughly figured out what was going on. Become familiar with competitors in similar situations.

There are also some like Philio and Caidou who just arrived, only enough to understand the situation in a short period of time, and know nothing about the sudden change.

Looking at the eight people in different states, especially Philio and Caidou who were sitting together and whispering together, Kona shook his head, with helpless and puzzled eyes, cleared his throat, and focused everyone's attention on himself.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am Kona, the person in charge of this regional youth competition. I will arrange all your matters during this competition. I know that you are very surprised by the change of the competition system. Now I will help you You briefed the situation, hoping to reduce your confusion."

Along with her words, the alliance staff beside her were tapping on their laptops, and a rather detailed map of the island appeared on the projection in the command hall.

"This year's regional youth competition will temporarily change the competition format. It will be adjusted from the original group competition, which is the regional conference model, to a comprehensive ability competition in wilderness investigation. The location is the island displayed on the projection. We named it Rainbow. island."

Opening her hand slightly, she held a small pointer made of condensed ice in the palm of her hand. During the low-pitched conversation of everyone, she tapped the solid metal wall twice, making a "dang-dang" sound.

Seeing that the scene calmed down, she continued: "This is not a change made out of thin air. To be precise, as the organizer of the event, we only got the news five days ago and canceled all live broadcasts and events. The reason for the spectator plan is simple, this is not only a competition, but also an urgent special mission of the Pokémon League."

"Urgent special mission?" Someone frowned. It was a contestant from Chengdu. He arrived just a little earlier than Filio and Caidou, so he was confused. "Why didn't anyone inform us before signing up?" Situation? It's against the league's drafting process."

"Yes, this is indeed not in line with the normal recruitment process." Kona nodded, his eyes remained unchanged, "But this mission is a confidential mission jointly agreed upon by the Kanto Alliance, the Johto Alliance and the International Police Organization, so the level is higher than that of the International Police Organization." normal procedure."

Seeing that the other party didn't say anything more, Kona drew an irregular circle around the island with his own ice pointer, and said while drawing:
"Now I will introduce the specific situation to you. This mission originated from a top-secret information from the UB Countermeasure Headquarters of the International Police. In the northern part of the Kanto Continent, a large uninhabited island experienced abnormal energy fluctuations. According to monitoring, and the ultimate space The time and space fluctuations are similar.”

"However, since the main force of the UB Countermeasures Headquarters is deployed in the Alola region, there has also been a large-scale change there, and it is difficult to mobilize enough manpower, so we have requested support from the Kanto Alliance and the Johto Alliance."

"After many consultations, considering that the current level of risk in this area is not high, and the ability level of each player is obvious to all, the Kanto Alliance has decided to deploy investigators directly under the alliance to conduct preliminary exploration, and let everyone join the mission to cooperate with the alliance investigation. staff, and prepare for the situation of the large-scale team that will be formed in the later stage."

"According to the specific results of your field investigations on the island and the assistance you have provided to the investigation team, we will conduct a point evaluation, and from this we will finally determine the ranking of the regions you represent."

"However, it should be noted that this island originally inhabited a large-scale wild Pokémon. Now that it is covered by unknown energy, the situation is not clear. I hope everyone can act carefully and put personal safety first."

Kona's eyes were slightly worried.

As the four heavenly kings of the alliance, she naturally knows that drawing the champion of the conference can save the cumbersome process of dispatching powerful trainers from various places to join the investigation. While reducing trouble, the effect will definitely be excellent.

But she is even more aware that if something unexpected happens to these young talents from various regions, the consequences will definitely not be comparable to the local trainers.

However, even she only learned about this mission on the spot, so she could only take one step at a time and fulfill her duty of reminder first.

Sighing without any trace, the pointer lightly tapped on the pattern just passed: "The island where the detection activity was carried out this time has no name itself. The alliance has now given it the current code name based on its appearance. As for the reason, you can see here."

An aerial shot appears on the slide.

A layer of light film like colored bubbles covers the periphery of the island, which is not very conspicuous in the sun, but it is still clearly visible.

Before a few people could ask questions, the well-prepared staff came forward from the periphery holding a tray with watches.

"These are multi-functional watches specially developed for the exploration of complex conditions in cooperation with the Kanto Alliance and the International Police. They can circumvent most special energy and signal shielding methods, and have the function of recording the surrounding situation in real time. You can use it to communicate with everyone. A contestant and the rear camp can be contacted at any time, and the survey information will be fed back in real time and recorded according to value.”

Kona put on one first and demonstrated the operation steps for everyone.

This small device with obvious special equipment color is not complicated to operate. It can completely cover the functions with just a few buttons.

But before he took it to study for a while, the curious little dream monster took it away first, and started tossing and chattering with the restless wind fairy, and played very skillfully in a short while.

"Ahem...Although this watch has solar charging and backup power, you should not turn on and off the functions repeatedly unless there are special circumstances." Ke Na, who was also surprised by Meng Yao's approach, was stunned for a while before hurrying With a cough, he stopped the little guys from playing around, and said with a serious face.

"This equipment is counted as one of the rewards for each contestant to participate in this mission. In addition, because it is a wild exploration after all, there are risks, so we encourage everyone to form their own teams, and the points will be calculated equally according to the group registration method."

"Can you form a team?"

As soon as these words came out, the trainers from various regions who thought they could only come to accompany him suddenly brightened up.

Although the exploration mode is more dangerous than the arena competition, it also means an unexpected chance for these young players with rich travel experience.

There is no trainer who doesn't want to win, even if the chance is still slim, it is more realistic than an upright duel in the ring.

Even the Johto players who had previously expressed doubts had more eager eyes at this moment, chattering with the people around them to discuss various matters about teamwork. Kona was slightly relieved when he saw it, but he was also worried about what he was going to do next. I feel vaguely worried about the time task.

I don’t know who the shameless person is, thrusting this hot potato into my hand...

Thinking like this, the mature and plump red-haired beauty turned her back, looked at the sky outside the window, and gritted her teeth secretly.

Behind her, players from all over the world who didn't care much about the change of the competition system had already chatted in full swing.

Especially Ebolik, the player representing the Sinnoh region, talked like a cannonball, pestering the champion of last year's Caiyou Tournament, a man named Pep from the same background as him, but with a personality completely opposite to his. traveler.

On the other side, Filio and Caidou, who smelled something strange, looked at each other expressionlessly and nodded slightly.

There was no need for any dialogue, the tacit understanding of the two immediately decided to form a team first, and wait for the investigation to be completed, and then decide the outcome of the unfinished battle.

The speed of the Kanto Alliance's special spaceship is much faster than that of Joan's car, the Carlos-class combat spacecraft. In just over two hours from departure, it went all the way north from the Quartz Plateau and penetrated deep into the high seas.

After passing through the light film, which seemed to be a little heavier in color as shown in the photo, the group entered a special island with no barriers, and slowly landed on a simple camp that already had a simple camp and was constantly expanding. beach.

The resources enough for hundreds of trainers to use for many days have been stored in a dry warehouse deep underground in the center of the camp. The investigators who come and go are in a hurry, but they don't seem to be in a hurry, and they are quiet and orderly.

"Okay, everyone, the northwest corner of the camp is a rest and supply area for you. I will be stationed on this island throughout the entire competition. If you have any questions, you can always get in touch with me and the camp through the watch.”

The last one to step off the spacecraft, Kona pointed to a small separate camp area on the edge of the camp and led everyone there. As he walked, he took the trouble to inform various matters during the investigation.

In addition to personally participating in the reconnaissance mission and being responsible for handling possible safety hazards, she will ensure the safety of the contestants and other investigators throughout the process. After receiving a rescue request, nearby personnel will provide support and support as soon as possible. Support.

But for the contestants, once a rescue request and distress flare are sent out, it also means that their competition will end immediately, all points will stop counting, and ranking will be based on the results at that time.

After being eliminated, they can't leave the island. Instead, they have to stay in the camp to do auxiliary work, or join the team of other investigators, and they can't leave until this secret preliminary exploration mission is completely completed.

During this exploration period, everyone can return to the camp at any time to replenish various resources and supplies. The Kanto Alliance and the International Police will provide adequate guarantees. The quality may not be outstanding, but the reserves are sufficient. At the same time, the players can ensure their own safety. Under the premise, the natural resources on the island can also be used by themselves, and the alliance will not make separate requirements for this.

After briefly introducing the situation and settling everyone in place, Kona, who had been a little anxious since he got off the spaceship, hurriedly walked aside and answered a phone call. After a few words, he disappeared into the camp through teleportation with the help of Sister Mi Chun. middle.

It seemed like an emergency occurred on the road, and the person involved should be the investigator who landed on the island first, her direct subordinate.

With the departure of Kona, several contestants who had already made up their minds also set off one after another, or went with their friends in twos and threes, or went deep into the dense tropical rainforest alone with a little preparation. Soon, there were only Down the Philios and the colored beans.

They were in no hurry, at least Filio was.

It is his consistent principle to make a decision before acting, especially in this kind of place where there is no big problem at first glance, but something is not right when you think about it carefully.

Looking at the improvised simple barracks, he turned to look at Caidou and said solemnly: "Judging from King Kona's expression, she herself probably doesn't understand the full story of this mission. I think things may not be that simple, otherwise it wouldn't be that simple." They won’t pull us over to help.”

"Yes, I think so too." Caidou nodded slightly, looked over the fence of the camp, and looked at the dark forest where there was no end in sight, "We must be vigilant against the special energy that cannot be explained, and the best thing is to be careful."

"But in a sense, our luck is quite interesting." Shrugging, Filio suddenly laughed and said in a relaxed tone, "Especially when we get together, it seems that as long as we appear at the same time, there will always be Something inexplicable and interesting.”

Caidou smiled lightly and stood quietly next to Felio, nodding silently without speaking, expressing her agreement with actions.

Although the previous experience was objectively not so wonderful, as Filio said, it was also an interesting story for the two of them, especially from her point of view, it was very meaningful, although It's a bit dangerous, but after all, it can turn danger into good luck.

"Let's go, it seems that Miss Kona doesn't really want us to stand still, so let's hurry up and find a direction where there is no one to get some points. No matter what, you have to win! It's still the same, you are here From the front, I will delay and provide support?"

"Okay, listen to you, you are an expert."

While talking and joking, the two of them put on a posture similar to that when they explored the connecting cave before, walked out of the camp one after the other, and walked towards the deep and dense tropical rainforest.

Everything looked the same as it did in Haruka, or so it seemed.

It's just that after careful calculation, everything is very different, and earth-shaking changes have taken place.

In Zhenxin Town, Damu Research Institute welcomed an imposing guest.

Chrysanthemum leaned on a cane and stood in front of the gate of the research institute without speaking, and Damu hurried out with a smile on his face.

"Chrysanthemum, we haven't seen each other for many years, right? Why come to me when you have time?"

"Why, can't I, an old man, come over and have a look?" Mingming had a lot to say in his heart, but it turned into sarcastic words when it came to his lips.

"Of course, I welcome you to come over anytime! It's just that you haven't always been..."

Dr. Oki, the well-known academic leader who is famous all over the world, is also a little embarrassed and embarrassed at the moment, stroking his gray hair, hesitantly speaking.

"Boom"

The cane hit the smooth floor heavily, and Dr. Oki was taken aback. He thought he had offended this old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time, so he trembled all over and asked with a smile on his face:

"Don't be angry, let's come in and talk slowly? I'll ask Nanami to cook some special dishes..."

"There's nothing to talk about! The battle is the same as it was on the Quartz Plateau 50 years ago. You won't regress after so many years, right?"

Chrysanthemum's face was cold, and Geng Gui's elf ball was firmly held in the palm of his hand. It seemed that he was asking questions, but it made Dr. Oki feel relieved.

Knowing Juzi's character clearly, he knew that this old friend who had broken up with him for many years finally no longer completely closed his heart.

Although he didn't know the reason, he was sincerely happy. He casually took out the Poké Ball of the Bagosaurus that never left his body from his waist, and Damu smiled and said:
"You're underestimating people, Chrysanthemum. I've never slack off training in these years."

After finishing speaking, he took off his white coat neatly, revealing the single clothes inside and the muscular body that did not match his age.

"Then, let me see your current strength, don't let me down... Xuecheng."

With a hoarse voice and a much slower pace than when she was young, Chrysanthemum in the sunset is completely different from back then.

Although it is well maintained and with the help of ghost-type Pokémon, the beautiful face has already climbed up a few wrinkles, and the brilliant blond hair is also mixed with a little bit of gray, not as dazzling as before.

But at this moment, Da Mu Xuecheng seems to have boarded the train of time again and returned to the place when he was young.

At that time, they always gathered in the private house of the Omu family, which was not yet a research institute, and chatted with the spirit of teenagers.

The sun was a bit dazzling, and he couldn't help but close his eyes, but he couldn't help but make his eyes slightly moist.

"Since you want to fight, let's do it again! The backyard has been empty for a while, and it's just used today. No matter how long you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end!"

Turning around, he took off his white coat and threw it casually outside. Dr. Omu, who didn't care about these trivial matters, pulled Juzi up and walked towards the research institute.

Today, he is no longer the scientific research banner dedicated to academics, but as the first generation champion of the Quartz Conference and an old friend of Ju Zi, he meets the challenges of his former rivals. (End of chapter)
