Elves: Goal, help Pokémon fulfill their wishes

"Little kitty, this youngster you brought here is obviously a human, why does he sound like an Eevee?"

As soon as the fish opened its mouth, it gave people a feeling of being old-fashioned, as rough as the old men and women you meet in the park, which was very different from its cute and petite appearance - in short, the "style" of its voice and appearance was very mismatched.

Especially when Liang Yin heard this weakling call Zeraora "little kitty", he could no longer hold back and the corners of his eyes and mouth couldn't help twitching.

This reaction obviously made the weak fish very unhappy: "Hey, I'm talking to you, young man, your gaze is so rude, don't you know to respect your elders?"

"Elder?" Liang Yin looked at the little kitty in confusion... Oh no, Zeraora.

The black cat rubbed his brows and explained reluctantly: "Weak Dingyu is very old, and he is indeed an elder."

It is unusual for it to be so literal and put extra emphasis on the word "very".

"Then, Senior Ruo Dingyu, how are you going to lead us across the sea?" Liang Yin asked a very realistic question.

The fins of the weakling fish moved, signaling Liang Yin to move his head closer. Then, a foamy snort came out of its lips, and then its tail slapped the water surface violently, splashing quite a bit of water. The latter was so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back, fearing that the sewage that seemed to contain half of the periodic table of elements would get on his body.

"Young man, I can certainly take you across the sea," it said, "but the problem is that you are talking on your own, and I never promised to help."

"Little kitty, I still remember clearly how you took advantage of my carelessness a few years ago and fished me out of the water and played with me as you pleased!"

It turns out that you have offended someone, and now you want to ask him for help... Liang Yin imagined a painting of "cat playing with fish" in ink style in his mind, but he has to admit that it is really quite funny!

Zeraora curled her lips and said calmly, "It's been so long, and you're still bringing up the past. Aren't you petty?"

"Hmph, now it's you who need my help, so you better behave yourself!" Ruo Dingyu retorted unwillingly.

Liang Yin: …

Why do I feel like I'm having a quarrel between close friends of different ages?

But then again, when Zeraora said, "Don't worry, there are Pokémon who will help them," his tone was full of confidence.

But the current situation seems a little less "optimistic"? Is it because I am short-sighted and can't see through the complex relationship between them?

As it turned out, Zeraora was naturally confident.

It grabbed Liang Yin's left hand and showed the Z bracelet on his wrist to the weak fish.

"Will this work?"

The latter smiled helplessly, the Z bracelet was not a universal pass - but unexpectedly, his Z bracelet was indeed more useful than he thought.

The arrogant weak fish suddenly softened his tough attitude when he saw the golden bracelet.

Even the fish eyes, which had been filled with tears due to its biological characteristics, looked at Liang Yin with a look that was full of indescribable emotion - this sudden affection gave the latter goose bumps on his arms.

"I can take you across the sea, but there is one condition," it said suddenly after a moment of silence, "that is, the holder of the Z bracelet must command his Pokémon companions and pass my test as the dominant Pokémon."

"The test process is not complicated - defeat me in battle."

Overlord Pokémon?

Isn't this part of the Alola Archipelago Pilgrimage?

Although Liang Yin was a little surprised, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the size of this weakling was indeed much larger than usual, and it really met the characteristics of a dominant Pokémon - he originally thought that this was just a difference caused by individual differences!

"But I don't have any Pokémon..." Liang Yin spread his hands. Although his tone was helpless, his eyes would occasionally glance in the direction of Zeraora - this was almost a clear indication, "Zeraora, what do you think?"

"You command me."

Dianmao also understood the thoughts of this human who claimed to be a "dream maker", so he spoke concisely, and his beautiful eyes that were flashing with thunder were suddenly filled with fighting spirit.

Liang Yin, who was standing next to it, also met the challenge with high spirits.

……

Then, they lost.

And the loss was a little bit tragic.

"You are simply the worst young man I have ever tested," the dark blue giant fish nearly three stories tall said sullenly. As disappointed as he was just now, his sadness was almost beyond words. "I can say you have no combat experience, but it's only a little. I definitely can't have more!"

Liang Yin lowered his head in shame and stammered, "I know, I know. Stop scolding me. The child is stupid. Senior Weakling Fish, I'm sorry to disappoint you. But this is my first Pokémon battle, so please forgive me..."

He was still full of confidence.

Because it was easy to talk about, before accepting this commission, Liang Yin had already surfed the Internet to study a lot of practical ladder competition routines in the game over the years and even consulted a big shot, and obtained the collector's edition of "108 Uses of Zeraora" strategy.

It’s just that real-life combat and the turn-based system in games are two completely different things.

Just as Zeraora unleashed a plasma lightning punch, the weaklings in fish form had already unleashed a second water cannon at his face - it was heavy metal sewage with a poisonous attribute. If this happened in a game, it would be hard not to be suspected of using "magic".

And it is obvious from the numerical value that the speed of the weaklings in the school form should be much slower than that of Zeraora!

"It's really worthless!"

The next moment, like the spectacular natural phenomenon of "whale fall", this giant beast that looked like a "sea monster" quickly disintegrated, and countless slender and tiny fish scattered everywhere and disappeared into the green ocean.

The core Overlord Weakling Fish did not leave. Instead, it used the "Water Splash" move (?), and jumped to the defeated Zeraora. It actually showed a mean expression with its cute face, and said in a mocking tone:

"Oh~ I've always wanted to see this expression of yours, the expression of jealousy towards me~ Little kitty~ meow meow~"

At this moment, the electric cat was half-kneeling in the shallow water, panting. Its soft and smooth fur was soaked and sticky by the dirty water, and it was ravaged into a miserable state.

“Do you think I would say that?” The Overlord Fishfish changed the subject and shouted angrily, “Idiot! Then you really misread the Pokémon! I’m not that kind of fish!”

"Where is the rebelliousness you showed when you attacked me a few years ago?" The Overlord Weak Ding Fish opened and closed his lips, spitting out a series of bubbles while continuing to "output" his mouth cannon. "Just now, I didn't feel any fierce aura from your moves!"

"Senior Ruo Dingyu, this time it was mainly because of my lack of command experience that Zeraora failed to show its true strength," Liang Yin hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Do you want to blame me or blame me..."

Zeraora raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to say something, but swallowed it back in the end.

In fact, Electric Cat also discovered that this human was not as bad as the Overlord Weakling Fish said.

At least his command tactics were quite thoughtful, but his ability to respond in actual combat was seriously insufficient, and he was completely unable to issue orders in a timely manner - and these delayed orders caused considerable interference to him, and ultimately led to his being defeated before he could even exert half of his strength.

"In short, there is no tacit understanding between the two of you!" The Overlord Weak Dingyu cursed, "You guys of this level still want to go out to sea?"

Liang Yin retorted in a low voice: "If Zeraora is allowed to fight on its own, its strength will definitely be quite impressive. I was the only one who held it back this time."

"Fighting independently?" Overlord Squidward smiled, "You overestimate Zeraora and underestimate the role of humans in Pokémon battles."

"I have fought against a human and his Pokémon companion before. When both sides trust each other, the power that bursts out is enough to defeat the strong with the weak!"

Liang Yin: ...You are not talking about some "protagonist" who uses "idealism cheats"? There is no comparison at all, senior! I am not the protagonist!

Get out of the way! Stand up! Hold on! These are not skills I can master! He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.

"I can guess with my tail that you two guys want to go to the Ether Paradise in the Central Sea, right?"

"But that place is already the territory of several Ultimate Beasts, the Evil Eaters! Those monsters eat everything, and they are so scary! With the little kitty's strength, even if I only meet one, I will be chased away; if I meet a group of them, then unless I grow wings, I will have no chance of survival..."

"But the method that can allow it to overtake us is in you!" said the Overlord Weak Fish seriously.

Liang Yin was choked by this and started to complain in his mind.

I just met Zeraora yesterday afternoon - I was punched by it at that time, and then I rushed to fight with you this morning. All in all, I have only known Zeraora for less than a day... What kind of tacit understanding and trust are such easy things to cultivate? Don't they have to be "felt together over time"?

However, he only dared to think about it, for fear of being scolded after saying it out loud.

Liang Yin has almost figured out the nature of this weakling fish. It only responds to soft tactics and does not respond to tough ones.

"Senior Weakling Fish, may I ask how you Weakling Fish survive in this ocean when it is so polluted?"

He quickly changed the subject.

However, as luck would have it, the change of topic seemed to have hit the other person's heart.
