This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 306 Distorted Space·Yellow Sand Battlefield
When Filio and his party walked out of the valley, there was already a trace of iron tracks lying in the valley where there was still a faint smell of gunpowder smoke.

Especially the leader who was the largest and most powerful was motionless, his eyes narrowed into an arc, and there was no longer any anger or grievance from before.

The happiness of Robot Pokémon can sometimes be cheap.

Unlike the Iron Tracks tribe who are enjoying themselves, the four people who have completed the personal commission of Dr. Oki and Mr. Genia still need to continue their journey.

The investigation of Paradox Pokémon and most of the wild Pokémon in Area Zero has been completed. All that is left is to go to the Area Zero Research Institute on the ground floor to find out about the mysterious energy in the air.

The connection between the Super Crystallization, Paranormal Pokémon and the Rifts in Time and Space is not only an academic issue, but also a practical issue that the Pokémon Alliance urgently needs to find out.

The threat of the Eternal Night Organization, the legendary Pokémon controlled by others, and the powerful leader comparable to the battle legend, all of this has made Pokémon alliances everywhere feel like a thorn in the back.

Not to mention, the other party is still hiding in the dark and has a concealment that is difficult to detect. Even the international police who are good at tracking are often unable to do anything.

The Four Heavenly Kings and Champions, who had been lazy in the past, have already taken action, and have been involved in investigations in various fields, either openly or covertly, with the attitude of Waimatsuchi Yan.

Sinnoh, Alola, Galar, Padia...all areas related to changes in time and space are active with illustrious trainers, and Philio and Caido are just one of them.

In the face of a powerful and dangerous common enemy, various regions that are highly independent and often at odds with each other have put aside their disputes for the time being.

But as time goes by, there is still very little valuable information.

Although the strategy that the leader of the men in black had high hopes for failed to succeed and instead lost a large number of subordinates, the alliance's plan to follow the example was not realized due to the rapid recovery and concealment.

This large-scale and well-structured mysterious organization, except for its code name "Eternal Night", seems to have disappeared from the world, leaving no trace behind.
-
The space on the lower floor of Area Zero is dimly lit, with almost no natural light coming from above.

Because of this, the visibility here has always been low, and the terrain is quite rugged and complex, full of large and small forked roads and potholes, hiding a small number of wild Pokémon that are generally very powerful.

The rare quasi-king Pokémon in the outside world can be seen everywhere in this space with so much energy that it almost condenses into mist. Strong players at the king level are not scarce either.

Even the three Pokémon have benefited a lot from the days of exploration, and their energy accumulation is like riding an elevator, rising steadily.

If it weren't for the missions they were shouldering, the three of them would definitely have to train in this fertile soil based on their own personalities.

Emperor Nabo's transformational growth is just the beginning.

This ancient place that has lasted for millions of years contains infinite opportunities and challenges - rather, challenges are also opportunities.

However, there is an urgent task now, and the periodic energy fluctuations are like the Sword of Damocles hanging above their heads. The three people who know the priorities do not dare to delay, but silently follow Dr. Olin's route.

But when exploring such a large and complex maze-like area, it is not that easy to find the target, even with the simple map provided by Dr. Olin and the records and scans of Rotom on the mobile phone.

After all, even the two of them, known as the pioneers of exploration in Area Zero, have only scratched the surface in this dark world.

From the bottom to the bottom, the two of them and the original exploration team full of elite soldiers and generals only explored the tip of the iceberg of the huge world and planned a generally feasible downward route.

Where no one knows, this giant pit, which has existed for at least millions of years and whose cause is still a mystery, still hides countless secrets.

Deep, beautiful, but also hidden in danger.

"Is this another fork in the road...? Dr. Olin's map doesn't seem to show this route."

Not long after leaving the valley with iron tracks, and it only took about an hour by all calculations, the four of them came to a fork in the road that was not marked on the map.

Philio looked at the straight lines on the map, lifted his chin lightly, and fell into deep thought.

"Buy!"

Sun Eevee jumped up lightly and jumped into Filio's arms. His superpowers merged and he split into two groups, exploring into the dark depths.

The soft long tail waved gently, brewing the power of prophecy, searching for fragments about the future.

However, all attempts seemed to disappear in the darkness. The two forked roads seemed to be exactly the same, with no difference at all.

As a result, there is no chance of discerning the correct path.

"..."

In silence, Filio looked at his companions.

Caidou shook her head, her eyes full of trust: "I'm not good at this, you choose."

"I can't even understand it!" Nemo spread her hands and played with the cell phone Rotom indifferently, causing a burst of yelling.

Damon was a little silent and just nodded slightly.

"Then...just pick one and leave it to luck. The text is on the left and the pattern is on the right."

With the corner of his mouth slightly raised, Philio took out a commemorative coin, threw it into the air, and caught it firmly with the back of his hand.

Gently remove the right hand covering the back of the hand, and a lifelike Pikachu pattern comes into view.

"It looks like it's on the right. Emperor Napoleon, please mark the wall on the right and turn back when you encounter a dead end."

"Enpei!"

Putting the coins into his pocket, Filio took the lead, followed by the three of them.

Only Emperor Nabo was half a step slower, and the steel wings slashed hard, leaving an eye-catching mark on the special rock wall as hard as iron.

The footsteps disappeared into the darkness and drifted away.

At this moment, a black shadow emerged from behind.

"...Marta?"

Zhan Yifa looked doubtfully at the empty wall in front of him, with only a cut mark.

Three of the four people who were in front of him just now disappeared in an instant, leaving only Damon and his majestic teeth walking around in front of the wall.

Their eyes were a little dull, and they were mumbling words, but they didn't know what they were talking about.

It's like... falling into some kind of dream and fantasy.

With fluttering doubts, Philio and the others who went deep into the cave had no idea. In the silence and darkness, they were groping forward, and the only light that could illuminate them was the light of their superpowers.

Different from other areas, in these two deep corridors, the crystal light flowers that should be visible from time to time as a light source disappeared without a trace, and the crystallization of Taijing energy increased more and more.

However, these crystals did not shine. Instead, they appeared very dim, leaving only a faint light, and the energy fluctuations became obscured, as if they were exhausted.

Only with the support of huge numbers, it brings a sense of heaviness, but it is also several orders of magnitude smaller than what it should be. It is completely different.

"Da da da……"

The darkness and silence brought about mental depression. Apart from the sounds of footsteps and breathing, there was nothing else. Only Filio and Caidou made eye contact from time to time.

The two people, one behind the other, were on full alert.

"……ah!"

Suddenly, there was an exclamation, and Caidou, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly stopped, knelt down with a frown, and slowly sat on the ground.

Filio stepped forward, and a fragment that looked like pottery, but was much sharper than pottery, pierced the sole of Caidou's foot.

Although it did not cause any injuries in the face of the fighter's powerful physique, it still made Caido wince in pain.

On the road ahead, fragments of various sizes gradually became densely packed. If you looked around, there were at least dozens of them.

"What the hell is this?"

Taking a breath of cold air, Caidou picked up the fragment that she had kicked away and looked at it carefully, frowning.

Based on her usual training style, it stands to reason that such a thing would not cause any harm to her at all.

"It seems like it's been many years... I seem to have seen something similar in Teacher Leihe's office."

Nimo stepped forward and thought for a long time before speaking vaguely.

Although she often hangs out in various teachers' offices, she mostly looks around, especially Lei He's office, which is full of various ancient objects.

However, her words inspired Filio. He strode forward, his super power spread, and he pulled out a fragment buried deep in the ground. It was ten times larger than the one that almost injured Caidou. Several times more, even he spent a lot of effort.

Brushing the sweat off his forehead, Filio's expression darkened: "Nimo is right. This one looks very similar to the small sculpture in Teacher Leihe's office, but... Judging from the traces and degree of weathering on them, Look, it’s hard to tell when it was destroyed, at least I’m sure it wasn’t recently. At the very least... it’s been more than a hundred years, and the outer layer has completely fallen off.”

His fingertips traced the powder left by the weathering, and his superpower lit up the surrounding space. Filio stared intently at the fragment he found, which retained some traces because it was buried deep underground.

A strange sense of crisis rose in his chest and spread quickly.

The pad of his index finger wiped away a piece of dust, revealing a pink trace, which seemed like an arc.

Then they used both hands to sweep along the traces of color. Not long after, a circular symbol appeared in front of the three of them.

"This seems to be... a Libra doll." The strange shape reminded Philio of his memory from a year ago. Before meeting Priscilla, he had encountered such a group of uninvited guests who were not friendly at all.

"No, this is definitely not the road we want to take. Let's go back now and we'll go to the other side."

"bang"

Throwing the fragments to the ground, Filio didn't hesitate at all. One in each hand, he grabbed Caidou and Nemo, who didn't understand why he was so eager, and strode behind him.

"Damon! You also go to... Damon?!"

While he was talking, he suddenly discovered that Damon, who should have been following a few people, had also disappeared without a trace, and about 30 meters away, a wall he had never seen before lay across the center of the cave. The road back was completely blocked.

"Gudu..."

"Let me go...the ghost stories this guy Kaicheng told back then are not true, are they?"

Swallowing with difficulty, Filio shivered subconsciously and his hair stood on end.

However, before he could finish his words, in a flash of light, directly in front of the road, a large group of unknown totems came from afar, forming an indistinguishable and huge symbol.

"!"

Philio's eyes widened, and he immediately thought of Mewtwo. He stretched his fingers to his forehead and stabbed heavily on the mark left by the other party.

Only this time, the super power mark of Bai Tri Bai Ling lost the magic of the past. The super power injected into it was like a mud cow drowning in the sea, and even the mark itself was beyond his perception.

It's like being shrouded in a thick fog.

"Strange power! Eight-clawed martial artist!"

"Centero! Drag the earthworm!"

Nemo and Caidou, who were shocked by the unknown totem, reacted equally well. It was the first time they saw such a battle. They felt as if they were faced with a powerful enemy, but they did not lose their composure. They immediately took two steps away and pushed Filio away. Protect in the middle and release your strongest Pokémon.

【&%@#……】

Just when the three of them were shocked by the sudden change, among the huge patterns, an unknown totem that was obviously larger than the others of its kind and whose black color was slightly lighter floated in front of them. .

After the telepathic message of unknown meaning passed, it turned around and saw that the large number of unknown totems behind it immediately adjusted their formation and laid out a brand new giant pattern, which looked like a picture or some kind of special text.

But for the three people who didn't understand ancient Chinese at all, what they saw was just a huge garbled code and they were confused.

However, no matter what these unknown totems want to express, the iron law spread among explorers will not change.

Seeing a large number of unknown totems, the only correct choice is to run away without looking back until they can no longer be seen.

However, Philio, who was well aware of this iron law, clearly realized that at this time, they had no chance to escape without a fight.

There was an enemy in front, an enemy behind, and the walls on both sides were extremely hard. Even if Emperor Nabo attacked with all his strength, he would only be able to leave traces of cutting, making it impossible to escape through the wall.

"...Unknown Totem, we don't mean to offend, can you open a path so that we can return the way we came?"

Filio stepped forward bravely, sweating profusely, and looked steadily at the unknown totem approaching him.

【\&*》/￥……】

What responded to him was another series of emotion fluctuations of unknown meaning. It was neither anger, joy, doubt, or any other monotonous emotion, but some kind of complex meaning that was indescribable.

【&……#￥@】

Seeing that Philio didn't respond for a long time, the unknown totem seemed to see that he couldn't understand his "speak". He nodded humanely, turned around slightly disappointed, and disappeared into the void without any warning. middle.

Disappearing with it, there were also groups of companions and the huge patterns they formed.

But their disappearance does not mean the end of the event.

Amidst the whirlwind of the world, even the three people who were closely leaning together could not maintain their balance. They fell to the ground one after another, and their consciousness was in a trance for a moment.

When Philio, who had the strongest mental strength, stabilized his figure again and opened his eyes, a burst of bright light dazzled him.

The pitch-black cave had disappeared without knowing when, and was replaced by a battlefield filled with yellow sand.

The sun in the sky was also mostly obscured by sand and dust, but compared to the underground cave with almost no natural light, it was already a bit dazzling.

Looking around, there is a flat land in all directions, without any shelter, only endless yellow sand.

While the three are struggling to adapt to this harsh climate, the unknown enemy far ahead will not give them a chance to breathe.

Incomparably violent energy fluctuations exploded from the drowsiness, like an explosion, like a surge, and like a thunder in the plains.

Densely packed telepathic earth puppets, scale puppets, and puppet soldiers with no trace of the characteristics of the era rushed out from the wind and sand, forming a dense military formation, filled with murderous intent, as if there was blood filling the air, bringing an invisible bloody smell. .

Perhaps a moment later, perhaps a long time later, the military formation stopped nearly a hundred meters in front of the three of them. Silently, a chilling air spread across the vast battlefield.

In the center of the military formation, countless fragments similar to those in the cave rose from the ground, condensed into a huge earth-yellow ball in the air, and then exploded silently, repeating the cycle.

In the end, a huge earth-yellow clay doll more than ten meters high was formed through countless repeated combinations.

The huge but delicate armor made a slight "rustling" sound in the wind and sand. Just looking at it from a distance, you can see its sturdiness.

Hundreds of pink gems, large and small, decorate its monotonous body, scattered everywhere, but they are not just simple decorations, but emit a steady stream of energy, rushing towards this heroic and majestic statue. The whole body of the giant.

But that's not the most eye-catching thing.

The three Philios raised their heads in silence. A scepter that was as tall as a giant was inlaid with energy crystals similar to Taijing, and seemed to be mixed with many other things. It was held tightly in its hand, and even more Added a bit of dignity.

"……Roar!"

With a low roar, the scepter was raised from the ground and waved gently in the direction of the three people. After hearing the giant's order, a mighty army composed of Pokémon and puppets launched an attack.

Blood-red light lit up in their eyes, cold and sluggish. They seemed to have no independent consciousness, but were simply puppets controlled by the giants. Their movements were uniform and their formations were extremely regular, like a tightly coupled machine.

There is no room for avoidance, and a life and death battle begins.
-
Just when Philio was involved in a sudden battle, Kanto region, Silver Mountain.

At the hot spring halfway up the mountain, a young man who had just finished his morning exercise saw a long-lost guest.

"Hey, Uncle Sakaki, are you here to soak in the hot springs too? I heard about what happened to you some time ago."

He gently pressed his baseball cap. The young man, who was sweating from training, had no sense of being a strong man. He casually took off his clothes, jumped down, and sat down in the hot spring enjoying himself.

"It's just healing, the effect here is the best." Sakaki just pressed his chest gently with his hand, a hint of relaxation and comfort flashed across his face, and he looked at Hong Hong with calm eyes, "If you train every day, your wrists will It won’t get better.”

"But if I don't train, I always feel like I'm missing something, and I've already seen you. Uncle, can't you bear not to fight?"

Red chuckled, threw the last baseball cap to Pikachu aside, walked towards the rock wall behind him, and asked in a relaxed tone.

"Huh... whatever you want." Sakaki snorted, turned his head with a smile, and looked at the foggy forest, "You can hide for a while, but this time it's time for you to come forward."

"Why, you found that guy that neither you nor A'Du can beat? In this case... I am indeed interested."

Hearing the implication of Sakaki's words, Chihong straightened up abruptly, his laziness gone, replaced by the confidence and joy of being a "fighting person".

Fighting powerful opponents while defending justice is his favorite thing to do.

"Still so frizzy... I have a clue now, but I'm not sure." Sakaki shook his head silently, and with a wave of his hand, the giant needle bee fell from the sky, holding a stack of documents, and placed it firmly on the dry stone ground beside the hot spring, " A smuggling ship carrying Taijing energy crystals went from Padia to Galar, but the route was very strange. My subordinates had two guesses, one was the Armor Island in Galar, and the other was in the Orle region. Duzhan Mountain, there have been some changes in these two places recently."

"Uncle, your Team Rocket's ability to engage in intelligence has really never fallen behind." Chihong smiled and praised, this time full of sincerity towards Team Rocket, "Over at Armor Island, there are Dan Emperor and Master Ma. , there will be no problem, you came to me, do you want to go to Ourei with me?"

"No, I won't go this time, because I have a more important thing to do." Huoran stood up, causing countless splashes of water. Sakaki walked out of the hot spring on his own. The giant needle bee had already changed the towel and The clothes were ready, "Besides... it's not appropriate for you and me to come forward together to deal with this kind of thing. The boy from the Viridian Gym is pretty good."

After that, Sakaki wiped himself dry, put on his clothes, left without any delay, and disappeared into the misty forest.

"In addition, the hot springs here are really good. I will probably come here a few times in the future. When I recover from my injuries, I will challenge you again."

The last words disappeared in the air, but they echoed in his red ears for a long time, arousing his knowing smile.

With Sakaki fully recovered from his injuries, even if he and Bulbasaur go all out, it will be a hearty battle.

"...This is really exciting."

In the murmur, Legend, who had lived in seclusion in Baiyin Mountain for a long time, gently moved his wrist, and his ethereal eyes passed through the fog in the mountains, as if he wanted to see the end of the world.

"However, before that, we really need to deal with the people who are in the way first... Let's go find Qinglu by the way. He is idle anyway. With him here, Uncle Sakaki is half here."

"Pickup?"

Pikachu wearing a baseball cap came running from a distance. When he heard Qinglu's name, he was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter.

Qinglu, who inherited "The Secret of the Earth", is indeed half Sakaki in a sense, but no one can say whether he is better than his predecessor.
