Elves: Goal, help Pokémon fulfill their wishes

"Humph! Since you are so curious, I will talk to you. As for how much you can understand from it, it depends on your ability!"

The overlord Ruo Dingyu glanced at Liang Yin angrily - this look and this tone made the latter think of a silver-haired old man who was so angry that he was blowing his beard and glaring.

"The Weevilfish is a very weak species, and its meat is very delicious, so it is hunted by almost all Pokémon," it said. "Even a dominant Pokémon like me is pitifully weak when acting alone."

"So in order to survive, we learned to unite and rely on the strength of our companions."

“We firmly believe that as long as we work together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish.”

"Even a water gun can exert a power that exceeds that of a water cannon!"

Liang Yin already knew this information.

To judge whether a weakling is strong or not, it mainly depends on its ability to call friends. The more people it calls, the stronger it is. The fewer people it calls, the weaker it is.

The Overlord Pokémon already possesses a special aura called the Overlord Aura that can control and communicate with its own kind. It is a natural match with the "schooling" characteristics of the Werebuff.

From the previous battle between the two sides, it can be seen that the dominant weakling fish gathered a huge number of fish in just a moment and turned into a powerful school of fish.

"So, is there any connection between this and your people's ability to survive in such heavily polluted water?"

Liang Yin, who was originally just trying to change the subject, suddenly seemed to catch the tail of inspiration and continued to ask questions.

Seeing that the holder of the "worst quality ever" Z bracelet had not yet grasped the essence of his words, but was still respectfully asking it questions, the Overlord Weak Dingyu felt very disappointed, but at the same time, he was secretly happy: "Of course there is a connection!"

"Because they are so weak, the only thing that the weaklings can do is change themselves to adapt to the environment. Unlike humans or other powerful Pokémon, who have the power to change the environment, the only thing that weaklings can change is themselves."

It gurgled and spit out a string of green bubbles. The weird and disgusting color made Liang Yin's eyebrows jump: "Just like our weakness forced us to learn how to unite and fight against our natural enemies, it also forced us to learn how to adapt to this harsh environment."

“Even though many of our tribesmen died.”

Adaptability...?

Such a weak creature in nature, on the contrary, has such a powerful ability to cope with rapidly changing environments - isn't this also a different kind of strong being?

"Senior, I understand!"

Liang Yin hammered his palm, suddenly stood up and shouted.

Zeraora, who was busy absorbing the free electric particles in the air onto his body and entering the "plasma bath" mode to evaporate moisture and disinfect his hair, also looked sideways and quietly pricked up his ears.

"Young man, tell me what you have realized."

Upon hearing this, the overlord Ruo Dingyu, who liked to teach others, was immediately delighted and asked.

Liang Yin said seriously: "Adapt and change."

"Just like the weaklings adapt to various environments, even if Zeraora and I are just partners, we should learn to adapt to each other's existence and try to change ourselves!"

"This is what Senior wanted to tell me and Zeraora, the true meaning of tacit understanding."

Overlord Weakling Fish: ...

Although it seems that this human being has over-imagined things, like doing Chinese reading comprehension, what he said is actually not unreasonable.

It actually originally hoped that Liang Yin could comprehend some simpler truths, like "you can always trust your partner" and "the trusting heart is your magic" - oh, but it doesn't matter!

"Ahem, that's about right. That's what I mean. Since you're so considerate, I'll make an exception and give it to you first!"

The dominant weakling fish nodded and swung its tail again, but this time, it didn't know what technique it used, and it didn't splash any water. Instead, a shiny object fell into Liang Yin's palm.

He looked closely at the object lying in the palm of his hand - it was an angular silver-gray translucent crystal, and the gray-black sediments inside formed a standard concentric circle pattern with an exquisite mineral fault structure.

This is a Z-pure crystal with general properties.

In theory, this precious item can only be obtained after passing the test of the island king or overlord Pokémon.

"Senior, this... this is not a good idea, right?"

Although he said that, his hands honestly placed the Z pure crystal carefully into the groove of the Z bracelet, and then he turned it over and over with joy - well, it was not too big or too small, just right, very perfect.

Seeing this human being's awkward appearance of "saying one thing and thinking another", the Overlord Ruo Dingyu couldn't help but laugh: "Young man, although you didn't pass my test, but considering that you keep calling me 'senior', I have to give you a gift, right?"

Since it is a gift from the elders to the younger generations, then we should accept it with a clear conscience...

Liang Yin's eyes lit up, and he blurted out without thinking: "Then Senior Ruo Dingyu, can you change this normal Z to an electric Z? As you know, Zeraora is an electric attribute, and this type of moves has an amplification effect..."

Zeraora: ...

Overlord Weakling Fish: ...

Young man, I am warning you, don’t let me get any further!

Its face suddenly darkened, and its tone became somewhat hostile: "Change? That's too much trouble. How about I give you another electric Z?"

"That's a great feeling," Liang Yin didn't think much about it and believed it. He immediately cupped his hands and smiled so hard that the corners of his mouth almost curled up to the sky. "Since the senior is so polite, then I will also refuse the honorable offer..."

Zeraora, who was already frowning at the sight, no longer counted on this idiot's fluctuating emotional intelligence. He could only put on an expression that said "I don't know him" and turned his head away, pretending not to care.

The voice of Overlord Weaklingfish suddenly rose several decibels: "Young man, I am the Overlord of Water! Where does the electric Z come from? If you want electricity, go find Tapu Kokoro who has already quit! Since you don't want this ordinary Z so much, I will take it back and exchange it for a water-attributed Z pure crystal for you!"

Liang Yin finally realized his own rashness, shrank his neck in dismay, quickly bent down and bowed, and apologized: "I'm so sorry, senior!"

Among the skills Zeraora learned was the general attribute Lightning Flash, so after all, this general Z can be put to use; but if it was a water Z, then it would be useless!

"Listen to me, young man, don't be too happy too soon," the Overlord Ruo Dingyu snorted coldly, "Three days later, at the same time, in the same place, you and I will fight again."

"If you win, I agree to take you both across the sea to the Ether Paradise."

"But if you lose, you must return all the Z-Crystals to me, and then go back to where you came from! It's okay to lose your life, but don't bring shame to Alola's Z!"

As it spoke, it dived into the sea and disappeared without a trace.

"Uh, Zeraora, did I mess this up?" Liang Yin swallowed, turned around, and asked the big cat beside him hesitantly.

Zeraora shook his head and said, "No, that guy is just like that. He has a sharp tongue but a soft heart."
