Pokémon Beyond the Blue

"Giant elves? I am indeed studying the giant elves that may appear nearby," Zhenghui explained to Ikki: "But I haven't seen that since the last time several strange people appeared and caused harm to it. An elf has never been here again!" After saying that, Zhenghui looked out the window at the blue sky and sea, his eyes filled with regret that could not be concealed.

"Ah, I'm so sorry..." Ikki didn't expect that such a thing would happen, and he felt a little uncomfortable inadvertently poking someone else's pain point.But who are the people who hurt the giant elves?

Zhenghui calmed down, turned his head politely and continued: "So what are you going to do next?"

Ikki and Nazhi looked at each other, and the latter nodded towards him, meaning: It's up to you to decide.

"It's like this. There is not much time left before the opening of the conference, so I want to conquer some powerful elves, so I came here. But since I have nothing to gain, I am going to dare to go to the wild wilderness area to have a look."

After hearing Ikki's decision, Masaki called them together and walked to the computer next to the corridor, typing something on it quickly with his hands.

"The Wild Wilderness Area is very far away from here and the competition venue of the conference. How do you shorten the travel time?" Zhenghui stepped back and showed the map on the computer to Nazi and Ikki.

It has to be said that there is a big difference between the map on the institute's computer and the map sold on the street. Not to mention the level of detail, even the scale and visual range are also very different.

"There seems to be something wrong with our map...Nazi..."

"Uh... um."

Looking at the distance on the computer that looks like a chasm, it is really not comparable to a paper map.

"Besides, there is a canyon here. If you want to go around it, you have to walk hundreds of kilometers, which will take about a month at least. I remember that the conference seems to start at the end of this month. No matter how much I think, I won't be able to make it in time... "Although Zhenghui doesn't want to spoil their fun, this is a fact. If they really go to the wilderness area, they may really miss the conference.

Speaking of this, Ikki glanced at him gratefully: "Thank you for your suggestion, but we don't need to go around the canyon."

"Huh? Then you..."

"We have her here!" Ikki pointed to Kirulian who was still talking to Riolu at the door.

"Eh?! What's wrong with me?" Kirulian seemed a little overwhelmed when she was suddenly pointed out.Aren't Ikki and Nazhi responsible for the route?What happened to you again?

Obviously she misunderstood, but Zhenghui heard it right.

"This is... Chirulian? And she can also use [telepathy]!"

Zhenghui walked towards the door impatiently, squatting on the ground and looking at Chirulian, which made her very embarrassed.

"What, what are you doing!" Chirulian pulled Riolu over and stood in front of her, as if refusing Zhenghui's approach.

"Eh?! And Riolu!"

This time Zhenghui could no longer hide his curiosity and asked Ikki directly.

"These two are your elves, right?"

Zhenghui has the disadvantage of ignoring the surrounding environment and consequences when thinking about problems, otherwise he would not often be trapped in a puppet and unable to get out.When they came in, Zhenghui just noticed that Ikki and Nazhi were followed by two elves, but he didn't pay attention to what they were.But now he realized the consequences of his negligence, which made him feel a little regretful.

"Oh! That's it, that's it."

Before Masaki could wait for Ikki to answer, he immediately thought of the reason why they didn't need to worry about the canyon.

Driven by curiosity, Masaki reached out to Riolu and Kirulian.

"You...what do you want to do?"

Ikki knew that Masaki was a trustworthy researcher, but he still reflexively rushed over and stood in front of them, preventing Masaki from taking action against the two of them.

After all, the psychological shadow that Delang brought to him was really too great.

In this case, Zhenghui had no choice but to retract his hand with a wry smile.

"Sorry, I just like elves too much."

Zhenghui stood up and walked slowly to the end of the corridor where he had just stood. He pressed some switch on the wall next to him. Then the light in the entire hall dimmed, and a huge grid began to appear on the wall. superior.

"This is the type of elves currently known in the Kanto area, like you

As far as we can see, Chirulian and Riolu do not exist.These two are elves from the Hoenn region, another land across the sea from the Kanto region. "

Zhenghui stroked the icons of elves on the wall, his eyes filled with excitement.

"Although we don't know much about the elves, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is impossible to have your two elves in the Kanto area. So as a researcher, I really want to know about the elves in other areas. ! I want to explore the mysteries of the elves!”

Riolu nodded.What he said is very correct. Human beings' understanding of elves is only superficial, but what are elves?Where did it come from?Waiting for a series of questions and still don’t know anything.This is the lifelong goal and belief of the researchers.

But even though he agreed, it was still impossible for him to let Zhenghui study him.It wasn't that he was reluctant, but that as a human being, his knowledge was similar to that of ordinary people. It was impossible to answer Zhenghui's question, and it was impossible to satisfy his curiosity.

Riolu tugged on the corner of Ikki's clothes and shook his head at him. Riolu clearly felt that Zhenghui was very disappointed.She silently apologized to him and ran to the side with Chirulian.

"Well, since they are unwilling, I won't force it." Zhenghui still has an optimistic attitude, although it may not be as it appears on the surface, "But I still don't recommend that you go to the wilderness area, even if It’s possible to use [Teleportation] constantly, but that will do too much damage to Chirulian’s mental state and health. As a researcher, I must stop such behavior.”

"Yeah, that's right." Now Ikki has officially removed the wilderness area plan from the itinerary.You can't forcibly damage Chirulian's body for your own benefit... Then even if he becomes the champion of the conference, he will not feel comfortable.

"If you don't mind, you can come here!" Zhenghui walked to the computer, enlarged an area on the map and pointed it out to Ikki.

"Here? Is there anything special?"

What Zhenghui was referring to was a piece of grassland that was not unusual. It was just that it was far away from human activity areas, but it was dozens of times closer than the wilderness area. The little fire horse could arrive there in about two or three days.

"Although there doesn't seem to be anything special here, there is news that trainers here have discovered elves from other areas. I have not left because I have to wait for the huge mysterious elf here. If I would be very grateful if you could help me go there and investigate!”

To put it simply, Zhenghui entrusted them to investigate. Of course, it would be better if they could be subdued.

"This is fine. It would be best if it helps us..."

"Really? Are you willing to help me with this?"

"Well," Ikki paused and suddenly thought of a question: "But we don't have enough supplies now. If possible, can we leave two days later?"

Since the destination is not very far away, there is no need to rush nervously. Taking time to make preparations is also one of the important prerequisites for going to a strange environment.

"Okay, okay! If you don't mind, you can stay here with me." Zhenghui thanked Riolu and Kirulian who were hiding in the corner. "If you can, can you Did they lend it to me?"

Seeing that Ikki might be a little reluctant, Zhenghui quickly explained: "I just have a few questions that I want to figure out, and I won't hurt them. Of course, at the same time, can you allow me to experiment with the new Poké Ball?"

Originally Riolu would never agree, but after hearing Masaki's last words, he immediately ran to Ikki's side, which made Kirulian feel incredible and wondered if this guy had some kind of weakness. Wrong ride.

"Olu!"

"Riolu? Would you like that?"

He nodded.This opportunity cannot be let go lightly.And the researcher's laboratory is also a great place to get a lot of information, so there's no reason not to check it out.

Riolu walked up to Ikki and pointed forcefully at the helpless Ikki behind him under Masaki's happy eyes.

"um, I?"

Ikki didn't understand Riolu's words, but Masaki guessed what he meant.

"He wants you to come with him. It seems that I make him very uneasy..."

This rare opportunity must not be missed by Ikki. If possible, it would be great if it could make him remember something!

"Okay, I agree," Zhenghui looked out the window. Although the sky was still blue, it was already late, "Then you can stay here for now. If there are any problems, we will discuss it tomorrow!"
