Elves: Starting from Carlos

Deep in a dark forest, two boys of the same age were having a Pokémon showdown.

"Use Dragon Claw."

As soon as he finished speaking, two balls of emerald green energy slowly condensed on Charizard's front claws. As if summoned by magic, the energy seemed to have gained life, jumping lively on the tips of the claws, constantly spreading and expanding, and finally transformed into two large and mighty green claws.

It flapped its broad wings and quickly approached the Pokémon that looked like a human, had bulging muscles and four strong arms. It hit out two claws in succession, and the powerful impact sent the latter flying like an arrow, drawing a beautiful parabola and finally falling to the ground.

A Pokémon with extraordinary strength and human-like appearance, it has light blue skin, and its bone and muscle structure is very close to that of humans. It wears a golden belt and has a black pattern similar to briefs. The red marks on its arms have disappeared, and it has an extra pair of hands. Its feet are divided into two toes, and there are still three tile-like protrusions on its head. Its eyes are reddish-brown with black pupils, and it has thick white lips, and no ears or nose.

"Gui Li, are you okay?!"

The rival trainer witnessed the scene, his face pale, and his expression revealed deep worry.

The strange creature groaned lowly a few times. At this moment, its body was covered with crisscrossing scars, as if every wound was telling of the cruelty of the battle.

However, it still relied on its tenacious willpower, gritted its teeth, endured the severe pain, and slowly moved its body, trying to get up from the cold ground...

Mu Feng would naturally not let go of such a great opportunity. He waved his arm and issued the final order: "It's over, big word explosion!"

"Roar!"

The Charizard roared, and the raging flames in its mouth gushed out like lava. A ball of burning fire came out of its mouth and quickly condensed into a huge "Big" shape in the air, rushing straight towards the strange power.

"Get out of the way!"

A deafening explosion resounded through the sky, black smoke billowed where the strange force was, and the aftermath of the explosion swept in like a violent storm, causing the hair and clothes of the three people to fly everywhere.

"Strange power!"

When the black smoke gradually dissipated, Guai Li was already lying on the ground in pain, his body forming a huge "Big" shape, his eyes were wide open with circles in them, and he had obviously lost the ability to fight.

"Kai Li lost his ability to fight, Charizard won, so the winner is Mu Feng!"

Serena, the referee, spoke at the right time, her clear voice echoing in the arena, announcing the result of the match.

"Ah... come back, strange power."

The trainer sighed helplessly, pulled out the Poké Ball from his pocket, and with a light press, he retracted the strange power into the ball.

"You come back too."

Mu Feng also took out a Poké Ball from his waist and put Charizard into it.

"You really are amazing... I wish I could be as amazing as you."

The trainer looked at Mu Feng opposite him, with a bitter smile on his lips and deep envy in his eyes.

"Me?" Mu Feng was touched by his words, a faint nostalgia welling up in his heart. Memories came flooding in like a tide, and those fragments from childhood to the present flashed quickly in his mind.

He couldn't help but let out a chuckle, "If you had also started studying Pokémon since you were three years old, you would have done it too."

As soon as the words fell, the air around them seemed to freeze, and the other two people present fell into shocked silence.

“You’re...just kidding. Who starts learning at the age of three...haha..." The trainer thought Mu Feng was joking and scratched his head and laughed.

When other people were three years old, they were still playing house. Who would believe that you started learning about Pokémon battles at the age of three?

"Just think of me as a joke, hehe~" Mu Feng smiled nonchalantly, turned and walked towards Salina, gently held her hand, and led her in a direction, "Try to become stronger, and look forward to our next meeting."

The young trainer's eyes followed their departing figures closely. After a moment, a smile as bright as the warm spring sun bloomed on his face, "I understand! Thank you, Senior!"

As for why he was called "senior", on the one hand it was because of the ancient motto 'the one who is more accomplished comes first', and on the other hand it was because Mu Feng's words just now revealed a maturity and stability beyond his age.

That kind of maturity was so profound that the young trainer felt that it was not something that people of their age could easily possess.

"So, you really started when you were three years old..."

Serena gently took her boyfriend's arm and tilted her head to look at him, with a look of confusion and curiosity, and a hint of uncertainty in her voice.

Mu Feng was about to open his mouth and wanted to tease her, but he paused, thought about it and gave up, and replied with a chuckle: "Well, it might be because I was particularly interested in Pokémon battles at that time. I even went to the forest to find Pokémon to battle every day!"

"Really!"

Hearing what he said, Serena couldn't help but be surprised.

She thought to herself that Mu Feng had accumulated thirteen years of Pokémon battle wisdom and experience. No wonder he, a rookie trainer of the same age as her, seemed so comfortable and calm in every battle.

"Eh? So this is how you spent your childhood?"

Serena suddenly seemed to have thought of something and asked the question in her mind again.

"It's not just this~" Mu Feng's eyes flashed with a playful smile, and he gently poked her forehead with his index finger, "Well, the past is the past, you should check where the next Pokémon Center is."

"Oh."

Serena pursed her lips slightly and responded softly, then took out a familiar pink navigation device from her pocket and began to look through it.

"Found it, but it will probably take another day to get there. Hmm... there's a volcano ahead!"

"A volcano...eh? A volcano?!"

Hearing these two words, Mu Feng suddenly remembered the plot after the tree branch plot, and he leaned his head over.

The information on the screen is like an unfolding scroll, the more you look at it, the more familiar it feels.

Mu Feng was now certain that this volcano was exactly the same volcano in the plot.
