This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 288 Zero Zone Shock·A Preliminary Exploration of Taijing
Although he doesn't often stay at school to work, Yeci's office is still quite exquisitely decorated, and the simple and bright decoration makes people feel comfortable.

When Filio and the others arrived under the leadership of Ye Ci, Principal Clavell had been waiting for a long time. He came forward with a smile and shook hands with Filio and Caidou, jokingly saying:
"Welcome you two to Padea College. I think Genia must have found some interesting research content again, Nemo? This guy doesn't care about anything as soon as he starts doing experiments. It's really cool to have him as the class teacher. It makes me worried."

"This is..."

Nimo was a little embarrassed and gently scratched her smooth cheek, but hesitated to speak.

But it was obvious that neither Yeci nor Clavel cared much about it, and just laughed it off without waiting for her to say anything.

They had long been accustomed to Genia's character.

"Okay, please sit down, tea or coffee? Nemo must still be juice, right?"

Ye Ci pointed to the sofa beside him. As soon as he finished speaking, the magic wall doll holding a drink suddenly appeared, standing in front of the three of them with a smile.

He blinked at Philio without leaving a trace, and the magic wall doll who appeared here was actually an "old acquaintance."

It was also the one who taught Lei He a lesson earlier.

"Bali~"

He waved his hand towards Filio with a smile, then poked Nemo's cheek, and the lively little guy stepped away.

Yeci was a little surprised: "It seems you still know this little guy?"

Filio smiled and nodded: "I met him before when I visited Teacher Leihe for my father. This magic wall doll has a lot of personality."

"Is that so..." Clavell smiled meaningfully, "It must be because Leihe hasn't cleaned the room for a long time, right?"

Nimo also said with a smile: "Teacher Leihe only has legends and stories in her mind~"

"Ahem...don't go off topic, let's get down to business."

Seeing that the old man and the young man were about to start going astray in harmony, Yeci quickly cleared his throat and started to correct the deviation.

"Filio, Caidou, I have received a request for assistance from the alliance headquarters, but I would like you to tell me the specific situation in detail."

"Ah, yes." Filio, who was having fun watching the show, also remembered the business of coming here. He took out the autographed letter that Dr. Omu gave to him before leaving and gave it to Ye Ci, "Dr. Omu asked me to Handing this letter to you, it contains his analysis of what happened previously on Rainbow Island. But it cannot be confirmed yet,"

The letter is not long, it is only two pages long.

The two of them were familiar with each other because of the illustrated book investigation in the early years. Dr. Ohmu did not mean to be polite and told everything he knew, which made Yeci frown slightly.

Compared to the information from the Pokémon League Headquarters, the speculations of Dr. Oak, an academic authority, made her a little frightened.

"Special energy...?" After thinking for a moment, she nodded slightly and looked at Filio as usual, "I understand, we are happy to help with this matter. But there are still some problems."

"question?"

Philio was confused.

"Yes, you may not know it if you are not in Padia. Area Zero is not accessible for exploration at any time."

Yeci nodded, waved to Philio, and showed him the map of the Padia region.

Compared with the clarity and detail of other areas, the Padia Crater, located in the center of the continent and surrounded by peaks, only has a darkness that symbolizes the unknown.

Pointing to this dazzling black, her tone was a bit helpless and bitter: "Since the accident at the fourth observation point a few years ago, there have been energy fluctuations of various sizes here from time to time, which is much more dangerous than before."

"Fluctuation? Are you talking about the kind of space-time oscillation similar to the ultimate space in Alola and Galar?"

Philio noticed something keenly and asked.

Caidou, who had been silently lowering his head to drink water, also cast an inquiring look.

Feeling the confusion between the two of them, Yeci shook his head gently and immediately smiled.

"It's not what you think. This is a special situation in Padea. In fact, it was relatively stable before. It became like this after the accident that destroyed the fourth observation point."

"Energy fluctuations of varying sizes will occur in the Zero Zone from time to time. Some are accidental phenomena with little impact, while others are periodic and very dangerous. Therefore, for safety reasons, the Zero Zone gate will be closed during periodic fluctuations. "

His wheat-colored fingertips landed on the mountain pass marked with the giant mechanical gate, and he smiled apologetically.

"In other words, we are currently in the midst of periodic energy fluctuations, so there is no way for us to go to Area Zero immediately to investigate?"

A faint bitter smile appeared on Filio's face, and he shook his head silently. This was indeed an unlucky coincidence.

"That's it, so I can only ask you two to wait patiently during this period. My suggestion is to be patient and not impatient. Why not just use this time to communicate in the academy?"

Yeci smiled and nodded, tapping the direction of Clavel with his fingertips, obviously he had already planned it.

"Then how long do we need to wait? As you know, the Alliance also urgently needs this information. The longer it is delayed, the greater the risk of exposure."

Filio looked at Caidou helplessly. The planned plan was obviously in vain, but there was nothing he could do.

"I can't give you an accurate answer to the question of time. In fact, the time is different every time, and the Padia Crater is very special and cannot be observed from the outside. We can only wait for the secrets of the underlying research institute. News from Dr. Lin and Dr. Fotu.”

Yeci stared at Filio, his deep eyes making it impossible to see any other information.

When Filio read out some details, it seemed that the powerful president of the alliance knew very little about the doctor and his wife trapped in the deepest part of Area Zero.

But what is even more unfortunate is that Philio, who knows more or less about most things in the world, knows very little about Padia.

There was no other reason. Before coming to this world, he had not even had time to come into contact with the Padia region. His understanding of the place was limited to some early notices and information obtained through online channels in this life.

But it is nothing more than some customs or anecdotes, and the depth of understanding is far less than that of remote areas such as Ourei and Jiantie.

It is precisely because of this that he, who has always been confident, has become more sensitive and vigilant based on the unknown.

After silent eye contact, the two shifted their gazes and looked out the window at the same time.

"The current situation is probably like this. When there is news from Dr. Olin and conditions allow it to reopen, I will send people to assist you in the investigation, and let you two and the scientists who went to the first and second observation points Let’s go together.”

Looking tenderly at the baby petrels playing on the treetops, Ye Ci spoke in a soothing tone and decided on the itinerary.

As for the candidate to accompany the two to assist, before the eager Nimo could volunteer, she had already turned her head and spoke softly:
"When the time comes, let Nemo follow you into Area Zero to carry out operations. She is one of the best young trainers in the Padia Alliance and will definitely be able to help."

"At the same time, it should be used as a treasure hunt mission for free exploration." Principal Clavell answered with a smile, "It just so happened that little Nemo had been clamoring to go explore Area Zero, and now she got what she wanted."

"Okay! I know the chief and principal know me best!"

Nemo cheered with official permission.

She loves fighting and is naturally interested in travel and adventure. However, due to poor physical strength and being much stronger than her classmates, she rarely has the opportunity to practice.

Now she finally had the opportunity to enter the mysterious Zone Zero and have a lively "big adventure". In her excitement, even the small freckles on her face became much more vivid.

"Look how happy you are. Don't think I don't know. Even if I don't take the initiative to approve it, you will make trouble in my office all day like last time, right?"

Holding his forehead half in disgust and half endearingly, Yeci looked at Clavell who was smiling cheerfully and sighed.

Of course she knew very well the temperament of this junior who she almost watched grow up. It was fine in the early years, but after the principal was replaced by Clavel, she got out of control.

The combination of the childish principal from the second grade to the student council president who has his own way of doing things has caused a lot of trouble these days, which makes her scratch her head.

"Hey hey!"

Nemo, who had seen through the plan, was not embarrassed at all. She just smiled, scratched her head, and winked at Clavel.

This situation reminded Philio of a friend.

Thinking about it... She and Senior Furong should be able to chat better, after all, they have the same "brainless" attribute.

With this thought in mind, he sat back on the sofa, picked up the coffee at just the right temperature, took a sip and shook his head.

What I thought was a quick and easy task to cut through the mess now seems to be having more twists and turns.

"It's just that I've been too busy at work recently. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to trust Nemo to follow you. I would have to take you there myself."

He chose an out-of-sight, out-of-mind approach to deal with the living treasures Nemo and Clavel. In front of a few absolutely trustworthy people, Yeci did not hide the current situation and took out the top secrets of the Pokémon League headquarters. official letter.

"In the next few months, the Pokémon League in each region will work closely to track down the mysterious organization that is suspected to come from other time and space. The Four Kings of the Alliance and all the champion trainers in the entire Padia Alliance will be dispatched. I, the Chief Natural No exception. Therefore, now we can only ask Nimo, our candidate for the Four Heavenly Kings, to be attentive and do the right thing, and not to mess around. Do you understand?"

Although he knew that most of his advice would fall on deaf ears, the tired Yeci still treated him like a dead horse and spoke earnestly. "Of course! I'm very strong!" Nemo, who was in joy, slapped her chest and agreed. Then she rolled her eyes and immediately entered the role, "Then I will take them to find Teacher Genia! The teacher still has Something’s wrong!”

With that said, she carelessly held the two of them with one hand and ran away, but was stopped by Ye Ci softly.

"Don't think that I don't know that you want to drag them to fight outside again. Be honest today."

After glancing at the reckless Nemo, Yeci opened the drawer and took out two small boxes as he spoke.

"There is no need to worry about things on Genia's side. Now we have to give the greeting gifts to friends who have come from afar. This is our Padiya way of hospitality."

After saying that, she stood up and walked to the two of them, one in each hand, and stuffed the exquisite small box into their hands, smiling kindly: "It's not a precious thing, but in Padia, a place where energy crystals can be seen everywhere, It’s still very practical. What do you think, do you want to test the Pokémon’s crystal properties here?”

As expected, the greeting gift that Ye Ci mentioned was the Tai Jing Bead, a precious specialty of the Padia region.

Although Yeci said it lightly, this kind of orb, which contains the power of crystallization and can rewrite the life form of Pokémon, is a very valuable item even when the technology is relatively mature, and can only be held by a few elite trainers.

Felio turned his head and looked at Caidou, and he saw the same entanglement as himself. He was about to decline politely, but Yeci didn't give them any room to talk. He walked to the corner of the room and turned on a computer that seemed to have A somewhat old machine, but expertly operated.

While operating, she said without looking back: "The Tai Jing Bead can only be used once, and the stored crystal power will be exhausted and cannot be replenished, so you have to be more strategic when using it. Okay, Come here quickly, Nemo, come and help."

"Come on~!"

The fiery Nemo responded loudly, pulling the two of them in the direction of Yeci. The projector above the instrument also showed a picture that slightly awakened Filio's memory.

With sharp eyes, flowing hairstyle, and an unabashedly wild look under the white coat, the person who appeared on the projection was none other than Dr. Olin, one of the inventors of the Tai-Crystalline Evolution System.

"Hello, Yeci, these are the two children you are talking about, right? I specifically paused my research to wait for your communication, and it's even slower than I expected!"

As soon as the call was connected, Orin, who was more enthusiastic than Nemo, greeted Yici with a smile, her laughter was hearty and wild and contagious.

"I talked to them about Area Zero, and I just wanted to see how the situation is here. By the way, can you help me test the telocrystal properties of their Pokémon on these two children? This equipment has been used for many years. I’m still not used to it.”

Yeci shook his head in surprise, and gave up his position, exposing Filio and Olin to Orin's sight, allowing her to see more clearly.

"I'm already trapped in the research institute, and you still want to make me work? Tsk..."

She glanced at Ye Ci who was hiding in the corner of the camera with disgust. When she looked at Filio and Caidou, her expression had completely returned to normal, but she was just a little stiff.

It's been like this since the moment the video was first connected. There's always a subtle sense of dissonance, but it's hard to explain why.

With a faint confusion, Filio took half a step back and waited for Caidou's Pokémon to complete the test one by one. Then he pretended to be calm and walked forward amidst Nemo's pushing, putting down his Pokémon balls one by one. .

He concealed it very well, but Ye Ci could still see why. He stood aside with his arms crossed and nodded imperceptibly.

[Stand Tail Scale Armored Dragon·Tai Jing’s attribute is steel]

[Tyra Dragon·Tai Jing’s attribute is flying]

[Wind Fairy·Tai Jing’s attributes are fairies]

[Emperor Nabo·Tai Jing’s attribute is steel]

[Big Mouth Baby·Tai Jing’s attribute is Fairy]

[Sun Eevee·Tai Jing’s attribute is super power]

The faint light flickered, and the crystal attributes of each Pokémon appeared on the screen. It was not unexpected. Most of the Pokémon's crystal attributes were one of their existing attributes. Filio's friends No exception.

Only the Staff Tail Scale Ankylosaurus has obtained the steel attribute that can greatly enhance its own strength, but it is also a great surprise.

With its simple and honest personality, it may not have realized anything yet, but it was just confused because of its uniqueness. Even the elf ball swayed along with it, and it took a while before it regained its composure.

"Is there still one missing? Test again."

Dr. Olin in the image raised his eyebrows. Looking at the dream demon lying arrogantly on top of Philio's head, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain why. He could only wave his hand to signal to Philio. Continue testing.

"Machi~!"

Needless to say, the little dream demon knew that it was his turn and returned to the elf ball in a flash, shaking it again and again, obviously with a little expectation of facing the unknown.

Philio was not hesitant, hung the six elf balls back on his waist, and then put the little dream monster on them.

The slightly older machine made a faint roar, as if in protest against being started three or four times in a short period of time.

However, the machine in front of me obviously still seemed a little older and stronger. Although there were constant protests, it still completed its mission quickly. In the dim light, a line of text that was slightly surprising appeared on the screen.

[Dream Demon·Tai Jing’s attributes are fairies]

"Another fairy. Could it be that compared to Ma Xiu, I am the real fairy expert?"

Philio's eyes lit up, he firmly caught the little dream monster that flew out of the elf ball again, and raised it above his head, his words were somewhat malicious.

"马奇ヾ(≧▽≦*)o"

Thinking of the geisha girl who would be deflated every time she met, the evil-hearted little dream demon laughed mercilessly and slapped Filio's hair repeatedly, laughing so hard that he almost fell down.

However, while one person and one Pokémon were talking and laughing, they failed to notice the increasingly obvious hesitation in Orin's eyes.

In the end, she didn't say anything, she just stretched exaggeratedly and looked at Ye Ci lazily:
"Then my mission is completed! I will contact you when the energy fluctuations subside. After entering the underground, Futu and I will also provide some help. If nothing happens, I will withdraw. There is still research to do!"

Before she finished speaking, and without waiting for Yeci's reply, she hurriedly hung up the communication. Her movements were completely different from when she had just connected.

Ye Ci looked thoughtfully at the projection with only light blue light left, then looked at Filio, suppressing the slight confusion in his heart, and said softly: "Olin has such a character, wherever he thinks of it, he will Where, these years of being alone underground and not being able to see my husband have made it even more obvious. Don’t worry about it, they are still very good as a couple."

Philio nodded politely: "Of course, we would also like to thank President Yeci and Dr. Olin for helping us detect the properties of Taijing, so we will have to worry about it for a while."

Caidou also echoed: "Excuse me, President Yeci, thank you very much."

"You're welcome. You're welcome at any time. If you want, you can re-experience campus life at school after completing the task. Padya College is open to the whole world." Yeci waved his hand generously, not hiding the appreciation in his eyes. , "Nemo, then you can take Filio and the others around the campus. I will handle the formalities."

"I will arrange your accommodation during school. I hope you can spend a fulfilling campus time at Padiya College that is different from the past."

Clavel pushed up his glasses and added with a smile.

Nimo raised her little hands and shouted repeatedly: "Principal, Principal, let the two of them live closer to me! This way it won't be troublesome to find someone for the battle!"

"Okay, let them live closer to you." Clavel nodded fondly. He was full of preference for this student who had no sense of distance since he took over as the principal. "But you also have to be somewhat measured. You can't just spend a day. I just think about the battle all night long.”

"How can I only think about fighting? I still study very seriously! But I still have a proposal. I want to hold the strongest challenge on campus! Gather teachers and classmates together and let everyone fight together. This will be fun!"

There was a bit of cunning in Nimo's eyes. Taking advantage of such a good opportunity, this battle madman proposed a new plan that he had been brewing for a long time, hoping to fish in troubled waters.

However, how could her little thoughts be hidden from Ye Ci's fiery eyes?

With a kind look on his face, Ye immediately frightened the still tender Nimo and said in a deep voice:
"Now most of the students have to go to Beishang Township, the teachers also have holidays, and the alliance is still busy investigating the mysterious organization. Who has time to accompany you to fool around? We will discuss it later when we have time. This topic ends here."

"Ugh..."

The plan failed, and Nemo instantly lost her glory and was punished to the point of disgrace.

With her mouth blocked and her eyes widened, she groaned angrily and stuck out her tongue at Ye Ciyi, humming:
"If we don't do it, we won't do it. No wonder Teacher Leihe says you are unreasonable every day! Caidou, Filio, let's go and find Teacher Genia! Ignore her!"

After saying that, Nemo, whose cheeks almost bulged into small balloons, made a face, pulled the two people who were dumbfounded, and turned around to leave.

Behind her, only the old principal Clavel's ear-to-ear laughter and Ye Ci's helpless sigh were left.

Compared with the mature and reliable champion senior sister a few years later, the current Nemo is obviously still in the growth stage, and has a different kind of interest in all aspects.

It's like... the female version of some super newbie who hasn't fully grown up yet.

Although when it comes to strength, she is obviously much stronger now, but there is no doubt that in terms of temperament, the two of them are almost carved from the same mold.

This similarity even made Philio wonder what kind of earth-shattering and protracted battle would happen if the two met on a narrow road.

Or in other words, what kind of Mars will hit the Earth?

Thoughts are diverging, this is a topic that makes people want to chuckle.
