I just want to give the elves a home. What's wrong with that?

"There are signs of a battle here. They must have left not long ago."

Lin Shuangjun squatted down and touched the burnt brown spot on the wall, which was still warm.

"Have you found the leaf leopard?"

Li Ran turned his head and looked at the elves who had rushed back. Xiaolong took a step forward and shook his head. Lin Shuangjun frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"Who on earth is this elf? How could it take Ye Bao away in such a short time?"

"Ow!"

Suddenly, Soraya, who was lying beside Li Ran, raised his head and shouted at Li Ran as if he had said something. Then, under the gaze of the two, he slowly lowered his head and began to sniff the ground.

It jumped into the mud pit left by the battle and quickly dug on it with its claws until a golden arc was revealed. Li Ran then looked at Lin Shuangjun in surprise.

Then he joined Soraya in digging the soil.

As more soil was dug out, a pure gold Poké Ball appeared in their sight. Li Ran took it out of the soil, and the system's identification information about the item appeared immediately. He held the pomelo-sized Poké Ball in his palm and asked.

"Brother Lin, have you ever seen this kind of Poké Ball?"

Lin Shuangjun came closer to take a closer look, and brushed off the dirt covering it bit by bit. The patterns on the surface of the Poké Ball gradually appeared, and he shook his head.

“No, it’s the first time I’ve seen it, too.”

Li Ran looked at the Poké Ball. The tiny words gave him a sense of déjà vu. He said uncertainly.

“These should be ancient characters, right?”

"have you seen?"

There was just a hint of surprise on Lin Shuangjun's face, but when he thought about Li Ran's behavior, he didn't have too many doubts.

Li Ran shook his head. It seemed that he had seen these words... on Shui Jun's stone tablet before. However, he had a confidentiality obligation with the research institute regarding Shui Jun's affairs, so he could not tell Lin Shuangjun clearly.

Another ancient object... He took the Poké Ball in his hand, and became more and more curious as he played with it.

The Poké Ball appeared three years ago, and we had just mastered this technology at that time. Only now have we started to delve into other types of Poké Balls.

But the Poké Ball in his hand is not only exquisitely made, but also the technology is no less advanced than the current technology, which makes people feel strange.

Isn't it said that in ancient times, the way to get along with elves was to rely solely on bonds?

"Could there be an elf in here?"

Since the two of them had confirmed the items, Lin Shuangjun naturally couldn't help but curiously press the button above and ask.

"No... the Pokémon in this Poké Ball is no longer in it."

Since the system shows an empty ball, there must be no mistake. Li Ran's face turned ugly. What is the strength of the elf inside?

Lin Shuangjun also noticed Li Ran's changes, and sweat began to ooze out of his palms.

"You're not trying to tell me that the elf in this ball... is the one that controls this village..."

"Probably."

Li Ran couldn't help but raise his head and pointed to the sky.

"And Museum Master, do you feel that it seems like it has been dark for a long time?"

It was almost dusk when they were at the foot of the mountain, so when they arrived at Yunluo Village it was night, and he didn't feel anything was wrong.

But now after hearing Li Ran's reminder, Lin Shuangjun realized that something was wrong. This night seemed to be a bit long...

The two looked up, they were familiar with this situation, wasn't it the purple cloud that appeared when the Armored Bird went berserk!

The clouds were reddish purple, spreading out for hundreds of miles like a whirlpool. Red lightning shuttled freely between the clouds like fish.

And the center of the vortex...

Li Ran looked over there, right above the village protection tree. Lin Shuangjun also saw Li Ran's trembling hands, and then saw the pair of eyes staring at them.

"It turns out we have been in its sights all along."

Lin Shuangjun couldn't help but take a half step back. The azure eyes floating in the sky radiated light as if they could see into the soul.

“Legendary!”

Li Ran couldn't help but shout out. At this moment, all his doubts disappeared. Why could the whole village be manipulated? Why couldn't Kirlia detect it?

It turned out that at this moment, the Yunluo Village had been affected by the energy released by the giant polarization of this elf.

The energy radiated by this Pokémon at this moment is far beyond fantasy, which is also due to the Gigantamaxing.

They actually moved back and forth for so long under the nose of such an existence!

"What kind of elf is this!"

Lin Shuangjun's breathing became heavy. He had never seen this elf before. It was completely black with white bows in front of its body and on its head. Its cold face made it look like a witch in the night sky.

"It's Miss Gothic, maybe it came from the universe!"

After all, there is no such elf as Miss Goth in this world, so Li Ran could only speak of it based on his guesses from his previous life.

Miss Goth does not like disputes. Due to her long life, she has seen the birth and end of all things, so she often has an indifferent expression. Her power is also extraordinary, and she can pull her opponents into dreams where they can know the future.

At this moment, it was looking at Li Ran, with a rare look of surprise on its face.

Li Ran covered his chest, suppressing the depressed feeling. He felt that the Gothic lady saw through him.

"Come on!"

Lin Shuangjun reacted, grabbed Li Ran and quickly rushed out of the village. At this moment, they must not make an enemy of the elf and must report to the headquarters.

hum~

A dizzying sound pattern passed through the two of them, and then Li Ran felt his body lighten, and the two of them actually floated up. He flapped his arms hard in the air, but found that there was an energy shield trapping him.

The same is true for Lin Shuangjun.

"It's over, it's over. I haven't confessed to Xiao Ke yet."

Li Ran's mouth twitched. Although he had already seen through Lin Shuangjun's meaning, he couldn't help but admire Lin Shuangjun's generosity after hearing it. You kid actually thought about this, life and death.

"Don't worry, Brother Lin, Miss Goth is not a belligerent person."

This can be seen from the fact that Miss Goth manipulated the entire village without harming the villagers.

"But don't worry, I will help you convey your love for Sister Xiaoke."

"..."

I thank you.

Lin Shuangjun helplessly floated in front of Miss Goth with Li Ran. Because of their gigantic size, the two of them looked like the Monkey King in the hands of Tathagata, and seemed extremely small at this moment.

"I didn't expect it to have completely adapted to this power and be able to control it freely."

Li Ran looked at Miss Gothic. You should know that when the Armored Bird fell into a frenzy, it completely lost consciousness, but there was no trace of madness in Miss Gothic's eyes. Instead, she was extremely calm.
