This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 332 A good start is half the battle

At dawn, on the empty and quiet sea, a specially modified aircraft broke out of the water, bringing the first ray of life and vitality to the sea in the Alola region in the morning.

After flying at high speed all night and spanning a long journey, Filio and Daphne arrived together from the warm Kalos to the fiery southern land of Alola, the archipelago region.

And this desolate sea area with no village or shop is the starting point set in the mission.

According to the action plan made by Daphne herself, in about half an hour, a cruise ship full of passengers from all over the world will pass by and sail to the Aether Paradise, which is not far away.

And his contact person is already on the ship now and has prepared all the necessary supplies for him.

The hatch slowly opened, and the fully-armed Filio raised his hand, used the helmet of his diving suit to block the rising sun from the sea level, and breathed in the fresh air.

Although it smells a bit like sea water, it is not very fresh.

"I'll send you here! The rest of the mission will be left to you and Zigerd. I believe you will be fine!"

Daphne, who had not slept well all night and had to get up every now and then to adjust her course, had faint dark circles under her eyes, but her spirits were high. She stood next to Philio and spoke with great energy.

"Then I'll lend you my blessing, Daphne." Filio nodded, yawned, rubbed his eyes, and put on his helmet, "I hope my acting skills haven't deteriorated too much~"

"Hahaha! I think you're fine. If you're not good at acting, you can still get by with your looks!" Daphne smiled cheerfully, flicked the visor of Philio's helmet with her finger, and said slightly playfully, "Besides, I can provide you with remote support, including but not limited to acting guidance! When I was undercover in the hunter organization..."

"Stop, stop, stop, I've heard you say that a dozen times along the way, and my ears are getting calluses!" Filio interrupted quickly, pretending to jump down, "I'm leaving first, you should hurry up and evacuate. Well, don’t you want to stay hidden?”

"Oh...then I'm leaving, please take care of yourself!"

Daphne was in a loss of spirits, gave Filio a warm hug and hurriedly backed away, returning to the cabin.

Philio was right. After seeing the technical strength of the Evernight Organization, even the international police, who were proud of their various technical equipment, had to be extremely cautious.

Reducing the length of stay in dangerous environments is an important part of this, even for special spacecraft at the division commander level.

"Huh...it's not easy. Emperor Nabo, let's go!"

After sending Daphne away, most of the stones in Philio's heart fell away. He jumped up, fell steadily into the water with the help of Emperor Nabob, and fell straight to the sea.

"Puff-"

The high waves seemed to be bidding farewell to the departing spaceship. In the blink of an eye, the waves calmed down and the spaceship sank underwater, rushing towards the "exercise assembly area" outside the Ether Paradise.

A carefully planned drama has reached the stage where the actors are in place, and they are just waiting for the gong to start.

However, this has nothing to do with Philio at this moment.

This "real protagonist" is now ready to enjoy the warm and comfortable sea water in the south.

At the turn of spring and summer, Alola is warm but not too hot. The sun is shining brightly and everything is flourishing. No matter from which angle you look at it, it is very suitable for a vacation. Lying on the back of Emperor Nabo, feeling the gentle caress of the waves, Fili O thought.

Do you want to wait until the mission is completed and take Korni and Nazi to play?
The best time is early summer, which is warmer than the current situation, but not too hot. It is just right for spending a whole day lazing on the beach, enjoying the sea breeze, eating some cold drinks, and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Inspired and out of control, Philio stood up happily, hugged Emperor Nabob, and started planning a vacation.

Emperor Nabo didn't say much, he just listened silently and nodded in agreement from time to time.

It doesn't matter where you go, being with everyone is the best for it.

Just when Filio was planning to participate in the island festival and play beach volleyball with Nazi and Korni, the steady water flow began to fluctuate slightly, and a huge black shadow slowly emerged on the sea level in the distance.

The super power subconsciously swept into the distance, and the eye-catching Laplace logo came into view.

The scheduled cruise arrived earlier than expected.

"It seems that the vacation plan will be finalized later. Let's go, Emperor Nabo, and dive down."

"Enpei!"

With a shrug and a sigh, Philio arranged his equipment, leaned into the water, clung to Emperor Nabo's back, and swam forward at lightning speed.

It was still early, and the side deck of the giant cruise ship "Laplace" was no longer busy during the day, but rather deserted. There was only one handsome young man wearing casual beach clothes, looking at the unchanging sea view lazily.

Although this mission is not very dangerous, it is not an easy job for this international policeman codenamed Clairvoyant.

He didn't like and wasn't good at swimming, and he wasn't very interested in Alola. The play and social interaction among the tourists on the ship didn't make him feel interesting, but made it noisy.

Fortunately, it is early in the morning and the sea breeze is quite comfortable. It is also a rare good time.

"Aha--"

Yawning loudly, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. Just when Officer Kadibelen was feeling sleepy, three small beams of light lit up from under the sea one after another, sweeping away his sleepiness.

"Come so fast!"

He patted his cheek hard and sighed without daring to neglect. He hurriedly took out a small flashlight from his pocket and fired it four times downwards in response.

"crash"

A subtle sound of water came from the water surface. With the momentum of the water flow, Emperor Nabo broke through the water surface, took advantage of the momentum, flew directly to the deck, and landed calmly and steadily.

Compared with the formation when it fell into the water, it looked quite gorgeous this time.

The only bad thing might be that the caught-off-guard Officer Cadibellen was drowned.

"What kind of qualities do you have... Hey, Philio? Why is it you!"

A "h" symbol appeared faintly on Kadibelen's forehead, and his mostly wet beach clothes could not cool down his anger.

Clenching his fists, he came up to argue with this unqualified uninvited guest, but before he could finish his words, he saw Filio taking off his helmet.

The kindness of meeting an old friend in a foreign land immediately replaced the unknown fire in his heart. When he saw his comrades reunited after a long separation, he rushed forward and gave Filio a solid hug without any care.

So the semi-wet beach clothes turned into completely wet.

There was a chill in the sea breeze all over his body. The cold made Cadibellen tremble. He squeezed his irreparable beach clothes in a fit of laughter and tears, feeling hopeless.

"Long time no see, Officer Clairvoyant. I didn't expect that the person I would contact would be you, but it's not a good place to talk here. How about finding a safe place?"

Philio smiled and blinked, then neatly took off his diving suit and threw it into the sea. Except for the water stains on the floor, there was no trace left.

"Oh! Yes! Come with me!"

With a slap on the thigh, Kadibelen remembered the mission under Filio's reminder, activated his visual ability to observe the surroundings carefully, pulled Filio and left, heading straight to his own room.

"Hey! I'm so happy to see you! No wonder Minister Daphne was so mysterious when she called me yesterday. It turned out that there were super reinforcements! I heard about what you did in Padia and Sinnoh. What the hell? Be beautiful!”

Carefully closing the door, he pulled off his already soaked coat. While getting dressed, Kadibelen patted Filio on the shoulder with great joy, his eyes filled with the self-satisfied expression of "I'm stable now." .

"I just did some housework, it's nothing." Philio waved his hand, said modestly, and then asked, "It seems that you have changed a lot in the past year. How are you doing lately?"

"Me, I have experienced a lot of interesting things recently! Let me tell you..."

Speaking of himself, Kadibelen could not shut up his chatterbox as soon as he opened it. He chattered and told Filio all about his experiences of more than a year.

It turns out that the international police officer codenamed Clairvoyant has adjusted his mission after solving the Kigerd incident.

He has special abilities and is good at investigation and intelligence work. He was assigned to Dawu by Daphne and has been responsible for cooperating with him to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the Evernight Organization that finally came to the forefront.

While Filio was running around, they were not idle either. From Carlos to Galar, to Hezhu and Hoenn, the two people who spanned half the world fought against this mysterious organization countless times. There were both head-on confrontations and secret games, and they made many contributions to the various alliances in detecting their strongholds.

There are two reasons why he was asked to come over to cover this time.

On the one hand, it is naturally because the Crime Countermeasures Headquarters believes that the time and space changes that appear here may be related to Yong Ye, so they need him, an expert, to confirm.

On the other hand, it is also because as a secret agent of the Criminal Countermeasures Department, he is a completely new face in Alola, which is just suitable for being a presence on the surface, attracting attention for Filio and creating better opportunities.

"The Ether Foundation is a monolithic organization, and it is well-known in the alliance headquarters. There is no way to investigate directly, so we brought the two of us here... But I originally thought it would be Qiao An, but I didn't expect it to be you. , now we can cooperate again!”

After changing into a smart T-shirt, Kadibelen was in high spirits. He also heard about Philio's story in Sinnoh, and was amazed and admired by Philio's deeds of facing the two dragons of time and space.

"I'm also very happy to cooperate with you again. Thanks to you, it went very smoothly last time. I hope it will be the same this time." Philio smiled politely and suddenly became a little curious, "Speaking of which, since You and Daigo are working together on the case, so when you come here, does that mean that Daigo has also come to Alola?" "Well... I have to keep the mission secret." Kadibelen blinked mysteriously, "But I I can tell you that we do have some very powerful friends here, and we are not alone in the tiger's den!"

"I have long heard that Minister Daphne is always cautious and does everything without leakage. This time I experienced it myself and it is true."

The clairvoyant smiled: "Sister Daphne will be very happy if she hears this, but you still have to tell her yourself. I won't help convey it. I am only responsible for delivering the goods and covering up for you~"

As he spoke, he pulled out a suitcase from under the bed and rubbed it repeatedly.

After a series of "clicks", the iron box slowly opened, revealing another world inside.

A realistic mask that looks and feels impeccable.

A special international police combat uniform disguised as full casual wear.

A special communicator that can pass through most signal interference and disguise itself as a button.

There are also more than a dozen universal ID cards for various regions.

These are the props carefully prepared by the international police for this mission.

"Leon, a senior pastry chef from Miare City in the Kalos region, came to Alola for vacation. The Pokémon he brought with him was a Sun Eevee with a little bell tied to its tail. This is really an identity tailor-made for me. …”

Looking at the form with identity information and personal characteristics handed over by Kadi Belen, Filio expressed his sincere admiration.

The customization of this fake identity is not only extremely efficient, but also can completely match reality.

Because in a very famous cafe in Miare, there does exist such a pastry chef named Leon.

"Of course! Our preparations are very complete!"

Kadibelen raised his chin proudly and smiled at Filio.

Everyone was happy, except the little dream monster who was not very happy. Looking at the information on the form, he suddenly realized that he was not among them, and it suddenly turned into a bulging little balloon. He grabbed Filio's hair and started to play tricks.

According to the information on this form, it definitely can't appear outside, but it doesn't want to stay in the elf ball.

Thinking of this, Mr. Little Dream Demon flattened his mouth and began to exert slight force on his little hands holding his hair.

"Hey! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" Philio immediately let out an exaggerated cry of pain. Taking advantage of the dream monster's release, he quickly picked up the little ancestor from his head and hugged him in his arms. He comforted you, "I have wronged you a little." It won’t take long, just relax.”

"March!"

The little dream demon didn't want to pay attention to him, turned his head and made a face at the clothes.

Seeing that the pair were still the same as they were a year ago, Cadibellen grinned and picked up the clothes on the bed.

"You don't have to give it a hard time. You can pick up the clothes and take a look. There will be surprises."

As Kadibelen unfolded the clothes, Filio discovered that this casual clothes also had a large black hood on the back.

"Madge? Madge!"

The little dream demon's eyes lit up, and he swooped in, just enough to hide his body inside.

The cat, which was just being naughty just now, immediately turned from anger to joy, hummed an unknown tune, and looked at the clairvoyant with a more appreciative "You are very sensible" look.

Kadibelen was already aware of the little dream monster's unique personality. He was not surprised. He just smiled faintly, touched the little dream monster's little head which felt very good, and handed the clothes to Filio, along with Along with the mask that is indistinguishable from the real person.

Then, he picked up the sharp knife and opened and closed it twice with a "click, click, click" look in his eyes.

"Now, it's time to help you do some cross-dressing."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, no wonder people say that disguise is more evil than plastic surgery."

"Machi~!"

After changing clothes, putting on the mask, and even trimming his hair slightly under the guidance of Cadibellen, after a moment, the person who appeared in front of the mirror could no longer see any resemblance to Philio, making him and Filio The dream monsters were a little emotional.

"Of course, my craftsmanship is top-notch! Stop looking and get down to business. We don't have much time."

Kadibelen sat down next to Philio with a smile, pulled him back while he was still in admiration, and told him what to pay attention to in detail.

There were only two of them responsible for carrying out this task, and he went to the Ether Foundation to communicate in his official capacity as an international police officer. From the beginning, he had no intention of concealing his identity, and it was mainly a feint.

In contrast to him, Filio, who is hiding in the shadows, is the real candidate for investigation.

But this investigation is different from the past. The special positioning of the Ether Foundation requires them to be cautious and try not to cause conflicts.

But safety first is the consistent principle of the international police.

Whenever there is danger, either he or Philio can immediately press the emergency alarm, and the operational forces deployed on the periphery will quickly set off to control the Ether Paradise.

Having said this, Kadibelen's expression was very serious, while Philio felt warm in his heart, patted him on the shoulder, and said confidently:

"Don't worry about safety. There are only a handful of people in this world who can keep me. You should really be more careful."

With Philio's current strength, there is no need to say this, not to mention that with Zygarde by his side, even if an unexpected fierce battle breaks out, at least in terms of combat effectiveness, he is very safe here.

With that said, he stood up, packed his clothes and walked to the door, said goodbye to Cadibellen, and returned to the room booked as Leon under the cover of the dream demon's cover-up, while carefully studying the identity information and words and deeds related to him. Details, while taking a short rest and waiting for the ship to dock.
-
Near noon, the slow cruise ship arrived at the solitary overseas travel resort, Etherland, carrying tourists who were looking forward to traveling.

The busy pier is crowded with tourists. Even if it is not the peak season, there is never a shortage of tourists here.

Mixing inconspicuously among the crowd, Philio slowly left the cruise ship. When he got off the ship, he happened to see Kadi Belen from a distance, who had already had a good chat with the staff of the Aether Foundation.

Silently, crowds of people surged, and the two people passed each other on the spacious road.

Leaving the pier, not far away was the entrance to the main building of Etherland. The receptionist's voice came closer and closer with the flow of people, and soon he was in front of Filio.

"Hello, I'm Leon. Here are my ID and tickets. Please take a look."

The courteous Miare gentleman showed a perfect smile, took out the ID from his purse with his white gloves, and placed it in the hand of the female receptionist.

His magnetic voice makes people fall in love with him unconsciously, and his simulated face, which is no less impressive than his own, is even more charming.

"Ah, ok...ok sir!"

The female receptionist subconsciously stretched out her hand to take the certificate, her cheeks turned red, and her fingertips brushed across Filio's palm intentionally or unintentionally.

Philio smiled and said nothing, but his eyes narrowed slightly.

With his pervasive superpower, he felt a strange aura from the person in front of him at the moment of contact.

Moreover, in a slightly uneasy panic, he discovered that although the voice of the person in front of him tried his best to control it, there was no doubt that there was still a little Sinnoh accent besides the Alola flavor.

It may not be detectable to ordinary people's ears, but it is very obvious to Philio, who has a keen sense and has just returned from Sinnoh.

And it's not just her. If you look carefully, it's the same for the six or seven staff around her.

Although he is well-trained, he still has some language habits that cannot be completely changed.

"Mr. Leon, your certificate has been reviewed. Welcome to Ether Park. If you need help with anything, please feel free to ask the staff in the park. I wish you a pleasant journey."

After thinking about it, the process was completed. The receptionist handed back the certificate with a smile and blinked calmly, as if sending some kind of hint.

"Well, yes, thank you."

Philio nodded politely, took the certificate and the cut ticket, and entered the park with the crowd, as if he was not aware of the previous hint.

The receptionist looked a little disappointed, but quickly adjusted and continued to receive the tourists behind Filio with impeccable etiquette.

She didn't realize that the moment Filio left, a weak ray of super power stayed in place, just attached to her body, silently.

A good beginning is half the battle.
