This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 329 The little championship shock

April 4, Miare International Airport, Carlos region.

In the dedicated pick-up lane of the Carlos Alliance, Gejihua, who came specially from the alliance headquarters, finally met Filio, who had been "missing" for several months. They reunited after a long separation, and the two people, who had a close personal relationship, were naturally intimate. of greetings.

While squeezing Filio's cheeks that felt so good, while complaining that he had mysteriously disappeared without saying a word for several months, Gejihua suddenly discovered a small red patch on his forehead and pressed it curiously.

"Ouch! It hurts!"

With a cry of pain, Philio pulled back like an electric shock and retreated several meters, covering his head and jumping on his feet.

Ge Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you hit the door frame on the way here?"

With the keen intuition brought to her by her precognitive ability, she vaguely smelled the scent of gossip.

"Can't you hope for me?" Glancing at Gejihua with disgust, Filio said angrily, "Didn't I fly back directly from Xuefeng City? This is where my master used a walking stick. Damn it, she is getting stronger and stronger now, I doubt she can even fight against the Shibana humanoid Pokémon."

"Ha...it turns out that it was Senior Juzi who did it, and he deserves it!" Ge Jihua raised the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of gloating, "I asked you to sneak around and disappear, and you have been running away for several months. If you don't show up again, I should take action. ”

"...It's not like I want to disappear, it's really unreasonable to highlight one thing."

Filio shrugged, gently pressed his still sore forehead, and muttered.

"You still want to reason with us? Are you overthinking it?" Gejihua stepped forward with a smile, put his hand on Filio's shoulder, and said in a brisk tone, "Speaking of which, where are Kerni and Nazi? Why didn’t they come back with you?”

"The two of them are still in Sinnoh, right where I stayed before. There are some unfinished things, so it may take some time." Philio recalled Arceus's instructions before setting off, and explained vaguely, He looked at Ge Jihua in confusion, "Speaking of which, senior, why are you so anxious for me to return to Kalos? If I hadn't been in such a hurry, I wouldn't have been beaten so hard by Master..."

"This... you come with me."

Speaking of the emergency recall, Gejihua's expression changed slightly. She dragged Filio to look around for a long time and found a secluded place. Seeing that the confusion in Filio's eyes became more and more intense, she whispered the reason.

Just seven days ago, the security personnel deployed by the alliance in the valley where Xerneas transformed into the Sleeping Tree of Life reported urgently. Just overnight, the Tree of Life disappeared without anyone noticing, leaving nothing behind. The traces did not alert any patrol personnel or monitoring equipment.

Judging from the video, all the screens turned black in an instant, and returned to normal after only a second or two, while the tree of life disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Xerneas...?"

Filio was surprised. He subconsciously raised his hand and touched the mark on his forehead. Sure enough, the mark composed of the power of life seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, and he could no longer sense the existence of Xerneas. .

After such an incident happened, Philio, who realized the seriousness of the matter, no longer wanted to joke, and said seriously: "I understand, senior, so are there new tasks to be assigned to me when I come back this time? It is my duty to do so."

"That's not the reason." Gejihua shook his head slightly, patted Filio on the shoulder, tried to lower his voice, and said in a very serious tone, "Professional investigation work is already in progress. The International Police and the Pokémon League Headquarters The special investigation teams sent are all searching everywhere. What we need now is not to go out to perform tasks, but to ensure that we have enough combat power to sit in the alliance."

Filio showed a strange expression: "Do you mean to ask me to go to the headquarters to fish with senior Dorasena and the others?"

"Ahem...how can we call them Moyu? Although they are indeed..." Ge Jihua thought of the senior people staying at the headquarters and sighed involuntarily, "Forget it, let's not mention them. In short, at the level of the Four Heavenly Kings Your combat power is now too precious to be lost. Filio, you have reached the stage where you should take responsibility."

"Don't worry, I understand this. After all, Mr. Ravi talked to me a lot back then." Filio nodded in agreement. He looked serious, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, "But...it may not be just the Four Heavenly Kings, senior .”

"?"

"Machi~!"

Seeing the question marks on Ge Jihua's face, the little dream demon who had been keeping a low profile for a long time finally no longer had to endure it. He was shocked and floated into the air, showing off his momentum a little.

"!"

In shock, Ge Jihua's mouth subconsciously opened into an "O" shape, and she couldn't even speak.

"Okay, senior, let's change the phone and go back to the alliance headquarters first. I'm about to ask Senior Pachira for some advice."

Smiling contentedly, Filio gently pulled her sleeves, and the dream demon calmed down his breath, like a moving rag doll, falling steadily back on top of his head.

As the saying goes, wealth never returns to its hometown like a brocade that travels at night. Thinking of Pachira's appearance when he won the championship a year ago, Filio had already prepared [-] countermeasures in his mind.

"Ah? Oh..."

Ge Jihua was still immersed in the shock of Dream Demon's almost legendary strength, and her hands and feet were a little disobedient. She followed Filio out of the airport by accident, and boarded the alliance headquarters in a trance. The special plane took off into the sky.
-
About four or five hours later, at the headquarters of the Kalos Alliance, the training ground of the Four Heavenly Kings.

"Staff Tail Scale Armored Dragon, full-power wave missile!"

"Lanka!"

Following Filio's wave of command, the prepared staff-tailed armored dragon roared, a blue ball of light condensed in front of him, and the surging waveguide turned into an invincible weapon, rushing at a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye. out.

"boom--"

In mid-air, the speed of the bruised Fierce Arrow Eagle was already more than three minutes slower than when it first appeared. Facing the full-strength Staff-Tailed Scaled Dragon, it had lost its proud mobility and was unable to dodge. It struggled to lift off, but was caught. Wave missiles that seemed to be equipped with automatic guidance devices were chasing after each other.

After several attempts to escape, he was inevitably defeated in the end. He fell weakly in the explosion and fell on the devastated field.

"The Fierce Arrow Eagle loses its fighting ability, and the Staff-Tail Scaled Dragon wins! The final score is 3-0, and the winner is Philio!"

On the big screen, accompanied by the metal sound without any emotion, Pachira's last Poké Ball also dimmed, and under Filio's head, there was even the only representation of the Staff Tail Scale Ankylosaurus.

Under Filio's understatement and successive waves of offensive, Pachira's Coal Turtle, Flame Lion and Fiery Arrow Eagle were defeated one after another, swallowing the bitter fruit of being beaten three times in a row.

"This……"

In the stands, Chairman Adali, who was forcibly dragged from the office to the scene by Ge Jihua, was so shocked that he could not even close his mouth in shock. Even the mountains of documents in the office had been forgotten, and his mind was filled with the pie falling from the sky. The joy of a sure hit.

Ge Jihua showed a knowing smile, and looked at Filio with a more gentle and loving look.

Beside the two of them, Zhimi, the water king who also stayed at the alliance headquarters, frowned.

At this moment, his deep eyes were wandering back and forth over the Big Mouth Baby and Emperor Nabo who were cheering for his younger brother, the Staff-Tailed Scaled Dragon. Under his calm face was the turmoil in his heart.

He is not much better than Pachira, and he only relies on attribute restraint to get the better of him. Facing the current Philio, he has no idea of ​​​​competing.

Thinking of the scene a year ago, he felt a bit sad and sighing in his heart.

The young man who could be defeated with just a few moves had become a powerful being that could easily crush him in just one year, and he even vaguely saw a bit of Karuna's shadow.

The same composite attributes, the same tactical proficiency, and... the exact same calm smile, which is both annoying and temperamental.

"Hey……"

Thousands of words turned into a sigh, filled with endless emotions.

It's a pity that few people can understand his mood, especially Qiao An, who is standing next to him and came specially to join in the fun.

The leader of the Stormtroopers, who had never been a formal figure, was busy shouting and cheering, feeling sincerely happy about the rapid growth of his good friend.

Even stronger than Gajihua, with the strength to challenge the last of the Four Heavenly Kings, he could see Filio's transformation and strength at a glance. On the one hand, his face flushed with excitement, and on the other hand, he ignited a raging fighting spirit. He wished he could do it now. Just jump down from the stands and fight with Philio for three hundred rounds.

But he obviously didn't think about how such loud cheering would hurt another contestant on the stage.

"..."

The three main Pokémon were killed by the weakest one of the opponent. Pachira's face turned red. She felt that she had lost the boss's face and couldn't stand up.

Just when she was in a dilemma, a leisurely voice came from behind:
"Ah, Brother Philio is really powerful now. I can hear the sound of you fighting in the office. You must have had many adventures, right? It's really exciting to watch, and it makes me want to fight too. One game."

Dora Sena, who was supposed to be working overtime in the office to handle championship affairs for Karuna, suddenly appeared, as if she was filled with aura to shield her. When she spoke, she stood behind Pachira without anyone noticing. Even Fei Leo didn't notice it beforehand.

As soon as she finished speaking, she skillfully locked Pachila, pulling her aside during the latter's vigorous but futile struggle. She calmly stood in her original position, her smiling eyes slowly opened. Open, flashing with eagerness to try.

"How about it, Brother Philio, I'm very interested in the Ankylosaurus, do you want to have a competition?"

"Lanka? Lanka!"

Seeing the powerful dragon expert initiating a fight, the slightly tired Staff Tail Scale Armored Dragon vigorously slapped its chest and loudly accepted the challenge.

The shining scales make a crisp sound, which is the unique intimidation and battle signal of the rod-tailed armored dragon family.

The Staff-Tail Scale Armored Dragon was full of fighting spirit, and Philio naturally had no intention of rejecting him. He smiled and nodded: "Since Senior Dorasena is so elegant, of course I have no reason not to accompany you. Please give me your advice!"

"Wait a minute!"

The war was about to break out, but ended abruptly.

The person who came to call a halt was none other than Chairman Adali, who had just been watching in the stands in fascination.

I saw him walking quickly between the two of them and said in a deep voice: "Dora Sena, Karuna is performing a mission outside. You are the strongest combatant stationed at the headquarters. You can't take action at will. I really want to fight Felio. Let’s wait until Karuna comes back to fight.”

"Hey... Adali, you have become boring after becoming the chairman. You definitely wouldn't have said that back then."

Dorasena was a little disappointed, and her opened eyes narrowed again, but she didn't say much. She just walked to the center of the field, gently hugged the Staff Tail Scale Ankylosaurus, and greeted her affectionately, like a dragon. The elders in the group greet the cubs who meet them for the first time.

"Lanka?" It was the first time that the Ankylosaurus experienced this kind of situation, and he was a little surprised and a little flattered. He stood there blankly, not knowing how to react.

This cute look aroused Dora Sena's love even more.

"What a handsome and strong little guy. It won't be long before you become even stronger."

Gently raising her hand and slowly rubbing the Ankylosaurus's cheek, Dorasena could not suppress the smile on her face.

"Lan...Lanka!"

Blinking its big bright eyes, the Ankylosaurus stretched out its arms, hugged Dorasena, who was full of kindness, and responded loudly.

Becoming the strongest warrior has always been its dream, and it has always believed that one day it would be able to do it.

After having a good time with the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon, Dorasena let go of it with some lingering interest. She looked at Filio meaningfully and said, "Shennoh is indeed a magical place, full of incredible things. An adventure, right?”

"Yes, this is indeed an unforgettable experience for me and it has also benefited me a lot."

Hearing the implication of this senior who had accepted the shamanic inheritance, Philio nodded humbly and expressed his agreement.

After getting the answer she wanted, in the eyes of everyone's doubts, Dorasena took a few steps back with satisfaction and gave way to a "monstrous creature" behind her.

"Hey! Philio! You guy!"

As carefree as a gorilla in the jungle, Qiao An rushed forward in three steps, hugged Filio, slapped him heavily on his back, and said with half complaint and half envy. .

"You made such a big news without making any noise. I have to punish you with three glasses of wine tonight. Otherwise, we will be sorry for worrying about you for so long!"

After almost being slapped by Qiao An, Filio punched him moderately and said angrily:

"It's neither light nor heavy. How can my bones withstand such a torment like you, a strong-backed guy? Forget about drinking, let's wait for another day. I have to go back to Salo today. I have something important, so you can see me off. Prepare the juice as well. The last box has been finished a long time ago, and you don’t want to take the initiative to deliver it to me. You have to wait for me to come to buy the goods. Your service attitude is really substandard."

"Do you think what you are saying is human... Hey, wait a minute, I understand! Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

Not only did he not get a drink, but he also lost a lot of drinks. Qiao An was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but then he thought again, grinned widely, and winked at Philio, showing an expression that everyone understood.

As a senior gossip, he had already guessed Philio's purpose of rushing home.

"You understand again."

Filio was too lazy to pay attention to him, rolled his eyes, and casually pulled him aside, walking to Gejihua and Adali.

It was a rare visit to the alliance headquarters. He did not just want to show off his soaring strength to everyone, but also to avenge Pachira. Although this was indeed the main reason, he also had the idea of ​​​​contributing to the alliance.

Knowing very well who was doing business in this pile of treasures, he asked directly: "Your Excellency Adali, do you have any new tasks to arrange after I come back this time? If there are any tasks that require confidentiality and concealment, , I think it can be left to me to complete, after all, not many people know about my experience during this period, and this information can be used to do something in the short term."

"Your strength... you are right, it is a very important and valuable factor. As for the mission..."

Gently holding his chin and stroking the stubble that he had just shaved in the morning and now felt a little tingly, Adali's eyes lit up.

"Don't mention it, there is indeed an important unexpected task now. It has been several days and I haven't found a suitable candidate."

Philio's expression remained unchanged: "Please tell me, what is the mission?"

"This is a mission that just fits your schedule."

Adali showed a smile that was exactly the same as Ravi's before, seemingly loyal but actually treacherous. He came forward and whispered in Filio's ear.
-
That night, east of Carlos, in the inaccessible mountains.

Halfway up a barren mountain, there is a remote small cave. Not only are there no mountain people nearby, but there are also very few Pokémon. It can be considered an extremely barren place.

And on this barren mountain that had been barren of grass for many years, a few weeds suddenly grew out, stubbornly drifting in the wind.

In the cave, the man in black, who had disappeared for a long time since being defeated by Red and Green, reappeared and sat cross-legged with his scarred Mewtwo on a slightly flat ground, with several large and small strings attached to his body. hose.

At the end of the hose is a huge glass container filled with liquid of various colors.

On the other side, there is the motionless Xerneas, or in other words, the tree of life that protects itself in a sleeping state.

The man in black took a deep breath and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his forearms whose muscles were twisting like liquid.

The restless gene has spread to his entire arm, and every twist seems like something is about to burst out from under the already burdened skin, causing the man in black with a heart as strong as iron to involuntarily let out a painful groan. .

But none of this stopped him from doing anything.

The slightly trembling fingers slowly lifted up and lightly pressed a red button on the container, and the machine roared.

A steady stream of life force was forcibly extracted from Xerneas's body, first entered the container, and then injected into the bodies of the man in black and Chaomeng through the transfer of unknown liquid.

【! 】

Mewtwo's eyes suddenly opened, and bright blue light shot out from his eyes. He glared at the man in black angrily, but soon calmed down and became a bit dull, like an unconscious doll. .

In the container, the mixed liquid gradually transformed from colorful to pure green, full of life and vitality.

The restless arms of the man in black gradually regained their composure, as if the restless volcano had been temporarily calmed down and sealed in the human body.

"Tick tock... tick tock..."

The man in black stood up slowly, and the crisp sound of water sounded.

If you look closely, you can see that his black clothes are completely soaked with sweat. Without any extra movement, the overflowing sweat drops will drip on the rocks.

"call……"

Taking a long breath, the man in black couldn't hide his weakness and exhaustion in every move he made, but he was filled with unprecedented excitement.

"I said, in this fertile world, I will definitely be able to do it."

Showing the pride of a winner, the man in black stood in front of Chaomeng, smiling reservedly and cheerfully in its silence.

"Drip drip..."

Just as the man in black was enjoying the joy of victory alone, the alarm on his waist whistled sharply at an inappropriate time, interrupting his rare emotional catharsis.

Frowning, his cheerful expression gone forever, the man in black picked up the alarm and narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a bit of coldness.

"It's these guys again... they are really haunting!" There was a bit of resentment and coldness in his words. The man in black pressed the button to cancel the alarm, walked outside the cave, looked at the bright night sky, and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth. With a stern arc, "However, I won this time."

As he spoke, Mewtwo stood up behind him, and his blue superpowers echoed in the cave.

In the dead of night, when the investigation team found this wilderness following the energy induction, there was no trace of the man in black and Chaomeng in the cave.

Abandoning the sleeping Xerneas here, carrying a large amount of unknown liquid full of vitality, the men in black and Mewtwo left early after destroying all traces.

The only thing left here is the bait that has lost its use value and finally distracted him from the investigation team's attention.

Xerneas is still in a deep sleep, but has lost a lot of vitality. Even the colorful branches are slightly dimmed.

Such a large-scale loss is not a small problem even for the God of Life whose vitality is endless.

Among the crowd, Kalunai looked serious, looked around warily, and secretly clenched his fists.

Yan Kai, who had been hiding in the dark, walked out from behind, leaned into Kalunai's ear, and said in a deep voice: "We have searched all around, and found nothing, only very weak super power fluctuations. Kanto's technical staff also Nothing gained.”

"I know, it seems like it's the same as the previous times, it's still teleportation."

Karuna nodded slightly. She knew very well that a veteran like the man in black would not leave any valuable clues.

Although he was very reluctant, he still escaped after a long hunt.

But this time, even Xerneas, one of the mission targets, was abandoned by him.

This is not good news.

A vague ominous premonition slowly rose in Karunai's heart, and it became out of control.

Although she had never faced the strength of the man in black in person, she had some knowledge of it from A'du and Chi Hong.

After thinking for a moment, she decisively took out her walkie-talkie and dialed a familiar number.

"I am Karuna, reporting the situation now: the leader of the Eternal Night Organization has disappeared again, leaving only Xerneas' Tree of Life. I suggest requesting support from the Pokémon League Headquarters again, if he really recovers , then it is not an existence that we can deal with alone."

Putting aside her pride as a champion, Kalunai made the most realistic decision.
