This elf world is kind of weird

"...This is...ah, it seems that he is not dead..."

Deep in the base of the mountain, Sachi woke up after having been lying on the hospital bed for nearly two days.

The tearing pain that appeared and appeared in her body gave her a real sense of being alive. Her hands subconsciously groped around her, but she couldn't find her Poké Ball. Instead, she felt a faint sense of powerlessness.

Before she could look around and figure out the situation around her, the subordinate who was always guarding her bed quickly stepped forward and bowed:

"Master Sachi, you finally woke up. The doctor said that your physical condition has basically recovered, but it is best not to engage in strenuous activities in the past few days."

"Well... I understand. It's nothing serious. Is there any news from BOSS? The mission probably failed."

After calming down, Sachi restrained his unnecessary expression, looked at his subordinates calmly, and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, the mission failed. Only you and the boss are back." The loyal subordinate's expression darkened and his tone was quite serious. Including him, there were only three or two big cats and kittens left in the entire Galaxy team. " BOSS asks you to go to his place after you get better, he said he has something to explain to you."

"That's it, I understand, I'll go over there right away."

The last scene before he fell into coma appeared in his mind, and Sachi understood clearly in his mind. He stood up neatly, moving his still painful arms and back before setting off.

The subordinates subconsciously wanted to help her, but she refused without any trace.

"You and the rest of the people should follow me from now on. As long as you live, there will always be a way... Now go and rest. If there is a mission, I will go directly to you. As for the BOSS, I will solve it myself."

Perhaps it was because his feelings for the Galaxy were different after all. Sage showed a rare tenderness, patted his subordinate on the shoulder, put on his coat in his astonishment, and left quickly.
-
After a while, the deepest part of the base was in the secret room hidden behind the secret door.

As soon as she entered the door, Sachi saw the windbreaker hanging on the hanger with burnt marks. The painful memory of the defeat came back again, making her a little frightened.

Although the cause of the defeat was not her own, apart from her, the only one who successfully evacuated was the man in black.

Her mind was spinning, and she, who was used to the ruthless tactics of the man in black, hurriedly bowed down, her voice trembling slightly: "BOSS, I'm here. The responsibility for the previous battle is mine. I was not vigilant enough. I am willing to accept the punishment."

But this time, the man in black did not express his anger, but waved his hand gently.

"It's not your problem this time. It's because I underestimated this opponent too much. In other words, his growth is always higher than our intelligence, and Alola is indeed a blind spot. Don't pay too much attention to this. Body How is the situation? Pay attention to rest."

Saatchi was flattered by the sudden care, and said repeatedly: "My body is fine, and I will fully recover soon! Please allow me to continue to follow you for the following tasks. I hope to take revenge on those people with my own hands!"

"These are things for later. Let's take a rest first. Chaomeng and I also need to adjust our state, and we need to find the weakness of that person before we can make a decision and then take action to kill him with one blow."

The man in black nodded with satisfaction, waved, and the chair in front of the table was pulled back and placed in front of Saatchi.

Sage sat down timidly, a little confused about the man in black's attitude today.

But soon she understood the reason for the changes.

Just a crisp snap of fingers was heard, and a gap suddenly opened in the wall, revealing a secret room hidden in the secret room.

There are several powerful Pokémon sleeping in the large glass petri dish, including her three aces, the cat boss, the gem starfish, and the cursed doll.

Different from the calmness or indifference of the other Pokémon, the condition of these three Pokémon is visibly poor, and even when they are sleeping, you can often see painful expressions.

The Z-moves used by the staff-tailed armored dragons with all their strength left huge wounds on their bodies that were difficult to heal. To this moment, dragon-type energy like tarsal maggots still lingers on them, torturing them.

"This……"

"As you can see, although I asked them to dispatch medicine and culture fluid for Yeib and the others, your three Pokémon are too seriously injured and it may be difficult to fully recover."

Looking at Sachi with a gloomy expression, the man in black sounded a little regretful, but seemed to be waiting for something.

Sure enough, Sachi immediately turned back, his eyes full of silent prayer.

She knew very well that the reason why the men in black were still treating the cat bosses meant that their injuries could still be healed.

"I don't have a perfect way to heal their injuries." Faced with Sa Qi's earnestness, the man in black remained calm, which made her heart sink suddenly, but soon he changed the subject, "However, There is a way that combines risks and benefits, you can consider it.”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a fist lightly.

Three syringes filled with light green solution floated up from under the table and landed steadily in front of Sage.

"This is the medicine I have used. It is extracted from the energy of Xerneas. It may be useful, but it may not be bearable. Whether you use it or not is up to you."

His determined eyes were locked on Sachi's eyes, and the man in black's tone remained calm without any fluctuation.

Sa Qi's expression quickly turned into a struggle.

As an old subordinate of the man in black and a core member of the organization, she naturally knew about this potion, which had been planned for several months and obtained by the man in black himself.

But she knew better how many people and Pokémon died in the process of preparing the solution.

Even if Cat Boss and the others are powerful champion Pokémon, they can't say there are no risks.

In the face of the power of gods, nothing is ever infallible, especially the power gained from plunder.

But looking at the three main Pokémon that were already difficult to treat with conventional methods, she knew her situation at the moment.

After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the potion on the table.

"Please allow me to think about it, BOSS." She lowered her head, hiding her face, then quickly walked to the petri dish and released a mediocre Qilinqi, "Thank you for your treatment, I will take them back first. .”

After saying that, as if she wanted to escape as quickly as possible from the man in black's eyes that seemed to be able to see through his heart, she walked out of the secret room without looking back, and left here in stride.

"She will finally know what to choose."

Listening to the footsteps fading away, the man in black leaned lazily on the back of the chair and said to the armored Mewtwo behind him.

Armored Mewtwo remained silent, without any response, just staring ahead expressionlessly, like a sculpture.

"It's a pity, it would be nice if Chiri was still here." It seemed that he was bored by Armored Mewtwo's reaction, or perhaps meeting his old friend's subordinates brought back memories in his heart. The man in black sighed a little, "What a shame. I miss the days when I fought with him against those three idiots from Sinnoh."

As he said that, he put his hands on the table and stood up slowly with some difficulty. His steps seemed a little unsteady. He almost stumbled and fell in just a few steps. His face hidden under the mask was also a little pale.

After struggling to put the windbreaker on his body, he put his hand on Armored Mewtwo's shoulder and said softly: "Let's go to the experimental area."

Before he finished speaking, a blue light flashed and their figures disappeared from the house.

He appeared again in an underground laboratory whose exact location was unknown.

"BOSS? BOSS! Welcome! Our research here..."

Seeing the man in black suddenly approaching, several people in white coats from the Shadow Team quickly put down their work and stepped forward timidly.

A short, fat man in the lead approached with a slight flattery, wanting to report on the progress of the experiment, but before he could finish his words, he was waved away by a man wearing a hat and a black robe in Xia Tian.

"You go and do your own business, I'll have a few words with him."

The man in black had the same idea. He didn't pay much attention to the frightened Shadow Team. He just walked forward side by side with the man in the hat and stood in front of a huge glass container.

The pitch black solution filled the entire vessel and completely obscured the existence inside. Only the outline of a giant bird could be vaguely seen.

The majestic momentum spontaneously escapes even in sleep, full of the majesty of the top of the food chain, the natural overlord.

"BOSS, the situation in the experimental area has been normal these days." The man in the hat said in a hoarse voice, "The research on Dark Lugia has progressed to a critical stage. The improvement of the anti-purification device and the final infusion of dark energy are currently underway."

"Well... let me take a look."

The man in black was noncommittal and pressed his hand on the glass shield. The superpower slowly seeped into it, but he only got a taste of it and withdrew at the slightest touch.

Shaking his hands, the man in black was quite satisfied. He turned up the volume slightly and encouraged the Shadow Team, who was still observing here: "You have all worked hard during this period. This is a very difficult technique. I hope you can complete it as soon as possible."

"Don't worry! Our technology must be reliable!"

Seizing the opportunity, the leader of the Shadow Team, Oya, hurriedly ran over to flatter him, patting his chest to guarantee it, and speaking resolutely.

"That's good. Just ask for whatever you need and try to satisfy it." The man in black nodded and asked, "How is the progress of the Dark Ball?"

"Dark ball..." This time, it was Eya who was in trouble.

"The progress of the Dark Ball is a little slower than expected." The man in the hat took the words calmly, walked to an experimental table, picked up a black elf ball that had not yet been assembled, and handed it over, "Now There are still many technical difficulties, but some breakthroughs have been made. But now that Bixias is away, the progress may be slowed down."

Due to the information blockade, they still did not know the news of Bixias' death.

The man in black didn't intend to reveal it. He just glanced at the man in the hat, winked, turned and left, saying: "I already know these, you have to continue to speed up the progress. I will get what you need soon." Got it."

Outside the laboratory, the heavy door slowly closed, and the pace of the man in black also slowed down.

"BOSS, over at Alola...I heard that Sachi and the others...?"

Without the Shadow Team, the man in the hat asked in a low voice. "Well, the loss is not small. This Kalos man is difficult to deal with." The man in black did not deny it. "We can only find another opportunity. How was the situation in Hezhong when I left?"

"Hezhong's side... isn't very good."

The man in the hat was at a loss for words, and as he hesitated, his already hoarse voice became even deeper.

"After you left, Dawu led people to raid two peripheral intelligence strongholds. Based on the final report, we are worried..."

In the empty corridor, only the sound of slight footsteps and conversations echoed, and along the winding passages, they disappeared into the intricate mountain base.

You can still vaguely smell the smell of sulfur, like hot magma being dug out of the ground.
-
To the north of Shanlu Town, there is a hill with excellent views.

Filio and Daigo, who were walking together, came to the courtyard of a bungalow.

After knocking on the door and waiting for a moment, an unexpected figure appeared behind the door.

With Daigo's introduction and guarantee, Filio met the authoritative expert he said.

The scientist who briefly served as the boss of Team Plasma and then disbanded it himself, Akromar.

Living in seclusion in this small mountain town, he has been working closely with the Devon Company, and because they are both experts in Steel Pokémon, he has a close personal relationship with Daigo.

In order to verify the authenticity of the previous harvest and find out the secrets hidden in these trophies, Dawu made an appointment with him for a visit. Now he saw another guest. He was not surprised after seeing strong winds and waves. He just smiled. He stretched out his hand and said warmly:
"Hello, Dawu, and Mr. Philio, whom I'm meeting for the first time. Nice to meet you. Also, the person behind you... must be Mewtwo, right? Welcome to my house. Please have a cup of tea to cool down first. Just take a moment."

Although they haven't fought for a long time, Acroma's senses are still sharp.

Just relying on the changes in the electromagnetic waves of the gear monster, he was able to detect the existence of Mewtwo.

But in front of Philio, who had a rather "unfortunate reputation", he was not nervous, but instead extended the invitation enthusiastically.

In the room with simple and bright decoration, the air conditioner is turned on fully.

The aroma of coffee is still wafting in the room, with a rich sweetness and milky aroma.

Paired with the refreshments that had been prepared in advance, the two of them relaxed a lot after a tiring journey.

After a pleasant exchange of polite greetings between the host and the guest, Acroma, who had already known their intentions, accepted this special commission without any hesitation.

The unfinished coffee was placed on the table. After taking the black box, he apologized and went to his laboratory first. He placed the device full of special energy on the energy detector designed by himself and returned immediately. .

"I guess I have to wait a while to see what the energy inside is like."

Picking up the coffee cup with a smile, he looked at Chaomeng who was sitting in the corner of the sofa eating snacks silently, and said with interest:

“I have always felt that Mewtwo is one of the most magical Pokémon in the world, but it’s a pity that I have never had the opportunity to see one in person. If possible, I really hope to figure out how to inspire a legendary Pokémon like it. potential."

Although he is no longer the boss of Team Plasma, he still has unlimited enthusiasm for this lifelong pursuit.

From beginning to end, this scientist who was so persistent that he was a little crazy was a very pure person who only had eyes for his own research.

"..."

Feeling the scorching gaze, Chaomeng just ate the snacks in his hand, then picked up Filio's tea cup and took a big sip of tea. Then he picked up the freshly washed fruits from the table and the dream monster who came over. Eat a lot together.

It has no intention of answering the question, let alone conducting any so-called experiments.

Philio naturally knew what his big cat was thinking. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a dazzling fire coming out of the laboratory in the corner, followed by a loud explosion.

Even the windows were shattered on both sides in the violent tremors.

"Oops! It must have exceeded the standard!"

With a slap on the thigh, Akroma ignored Mewtwo and stood up in a hurry, rushing towards the laboratory full of "babies". Filio and Daigo also quickly followed, rushing into the experiment full of black smoke. room.

Fortunately, the explosion of the detector was no more than heavy thunder and small raindrops, and only damaged a few small devices placed nearby. It was a blessing among misfortunes.

But in the midst of the mess, the small black box was only blown away by the waves of the explosion and fell to the ground. Not only was it safe and sound, it didn't even have a single scorch mark. Once the dust on the surface was wiped off, it was as clean as new.

Daigo and Filio looked surprised, but Akroma was not surprised at all and just waved his hand lightly.

"Don't worry about it, this is just confirming one of my conjectures."

With that said, he stepped forward with great interest and took the box from Filio's hand that still had some residual heat from the explosion.

Then he turned around and took out a brand new instrument from his safe.

The serial number of Akroma 1075 is imprinted on this seemingly ordinary remote control. The familiar shape and rare four-digit number instantly evoked Philio’s memory.

This is the famous [Pokémon Potential Inducer·Acroma Machine].

Akroma held the remote control in his hand expressionlessly, lightly tapped the antenna on the box, and pressed the switch.

Soon, traces of "black energy" emerged from it, with a bit of evil, and there seemed to be some vague negative emotions.

"it is as expected……"

Whispering to himself, Acroma decisively took out a black stone from the drawer on the other side and pressed it on the box.

However, in just one breath, all the mist-like black energy was absorbed. He also took the initiative to remove the antenna of the Acroma machine from the box, and everything returned to calm.

"So what is it?"

At this time, Filio and Dawu dared to step forward and asked in unison their confusion.

"You two are in sync." Acroma chuckled, put down the black stone in his hand, and said loudly, "It just confirmed my guess. I figured out what this thing is."

As he spoke, he picked up the black box, with undisguised contempt in his eyes.

"Just like the original attempt to control Kyurem and the others, the specific purpose of this thing is hard to say, but the principle can be seen at a glance. Although it is a bit clever, in the final analysis it is still a poor imitation."

"Imitation? You mean..."

Philio looked at the Acroma machine in his hand, and the meaning was self-explanatory.

"Yes, the principle of this thing is similar to the Acroma machine. It stimulates potential and controls the mind, but it has side effects." Acroma did not intend to hide it and admitted frankly, "So I am the one who made this a poor imitation. Not really top-notch stuff.”

Having said that, the scientist's competitiveness still made him turn his head and take the initiative to speak:
"If you have new gains in the future, can you also leave the follow-up research to me? I want to crack it myself."
-
Sinnoh region, Tianguan Mountain, ancient civilization scientific research camp.

After a day of inspection, the exhausted researchers returned to the camp one after another, talking and laughing with each other.

Although the conditions were not very good and we had to eat and sleep in the open air, there were new gains every day, which made everyone's confidence higher and higher day by day.

In a temporary laboratory with different specifications than elsewhere, Sirona and Kamal sat opposite each other.

"There will be a big breakthrough soon. Do you really want to leave now?"

Hearing that Sirona was leaving for a while, Kamal felt a little embarrassed when he touched the stubble that he had forgotten to shave off in the morning.

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, I'm not just an archaeologist. Please understand, senior." Sirona smiled and poured coffee for Kamal, speaking in a brisk tone, "And it shouldn't take too long, if everything goes well. , maybe I can catch up just in time! And..."

"And what?"

"And I can also help you bring a message to Philio. How about it? Is it a surprise?" Under Kamal's surprised gaze, Sirona winked playfully, "Just in time, I'm going to drop by too. Find him and get the two orbs back."

"It turns out this is such a mission..." Hearing what Sirona said, Kamal smiled helplessly and sighed lightly, "Then you should pay more attention to safety, and let Felio not Worry about me and Judith, and do your own thing."

"Don't you want to say something more?"

"It's not like you can't make phone calls, so there's no need to go into a long discussion." Kamal shrugged and gave her a meaningful look, "And after all, the child has grown up and matured. Parents should not hold back on many things."

"Hey...!" Sirona leaned back exaggeratedly, her eyes complicated, "You are saying the same thing as grandma, it seems that your senior is getting old too!"

After that, she made a cute face, got up and ran, leaving the laboratory in a hurry.

"Hey! I'm not old! This girl!"

Kamal, who was pretending to be angry, laughed and cursed, and was about to catch up, but stopped before taking two steps and watched Sirona run away.

Seeing her disappear from his sight, Kamal turned around and sat down heavily.

"Sigh... It seems there is something new going on. This guy knows how to report good news but not bad news..."

In the murmur, there was a bit more worry in the frowned brows.

Priscilla's energetic shout came from a distance. Today's research exchange meeting was about to start again, but he lost interest. (End of chapter)
