Pokémon Beyond the Blue

After yesterday's all-night party, this group of people still haven't woken up until the sun is high in the sky.

Riolu followed Yukino's instructions, so he didn't let Ikki, Xiaogang and the others play too late, so only the two of them were awake now.

"I think it's better not to wake them up."

Riolu nodded in agreement.

'Since Xiaogang doesn't make breakfast, how to solve the problem? '

"Sure enough, let's go out to eat. The crepe last time was pretty good. Let's go there!"

【Do you know the way? 】

As Ikki picked up his backpack, he looked at Riolu and said, "I'm not that confused. Let's go quickly!"

Riolu shrugged, acquiescing.After all, no one can refuse delicious food.

————————————————————

"It's a good idea to come here. Why didn't we have such delicious crepes before? If it weren't for the time, I really want to stay here for a few more days."

He is considered a child, and the crepe he ordered also has cream and fruit bits as fillings. Although Riolu has never eaten crepes before, he can immediately tell the taste of it just by looking at Ikki's expression. clear.Riolu had never seen Ikki look so happy when he was at their house before.

"Hey, kid, your little elf looks very cute. Auntie, I have a discount today, so I'll give you one more!"

The person who spoke was the proprietress of this shop. She was short and fat. She was wearing a cotton coat and a piece of cloth tied around her head to protect her hair. Even in the morning, she would be busy because of too many customers. Sweating all over.

"Really! Thank you!"

"Don't be polite, kid. From the look of you, you must be a tourist too. Our Hualan City welcomes you. Remember to go see the water show in Hualan City. That is the signature of our Hualan City!"

The lady boss handed the freshly baked crepes to Ikki and introduced the characteristics of Hualan City to Ikki with great interest. However, before she could say a few words, she was called away by the customers who came one after another.

Ikki leaned on the stool, looked at Riolu and said, "You really don't want it?"

Riolu shook his head.

He didn't hate sweets, but he really didn't have the habit of taking sweets for breakfast in the morning, so when Ikki wanted to buy them for him, he refused.But it tastes really good, no wonder Ikki said such a thing.

"Would you like to go to the Cerulean City Gym to have a look later? This is my first time watching a performance. Although it starts tomorrow, it should be fine just for the appearance."

Riolu took out the fruit that Ikki had brought back from his backpack and chewed it carelessly.

The snow has begun to melt now, and the ground is wet. Fortunately, the road to the gym is not long, not to mention that you have to go tomorrow, so let's go with him.

"Whoaaaah! There is a thief, come quickly!!"

Just as he was about to stand up, the boss's wife's slightly frightened scream rang out from the crowd.

"What happened?"

Riolu and Ikki quickly put on their backpacks and came to the landlady's side.

"Oops, an elf just stole thirty crepes that I just made. Call the police."

Ikki looked around and saw that a kind person had already picked up his mobile phone and reported the crime to the police station.

"Where did that elf go?"

"there……"

The landlady pointed to the path behind the shop.

"Don't worry, we're here to help too. Riolu, it's up to you!"

'...Did he really use me as a puppy? '

Riolu closed his eyes, and the nearby topographic map gradually came to his mind.

"What is your elf doing? It looks weird."

Ikki scratched his head: "It's hard to say...well...it's just like the dog's sense of smell..."

'...'

Riolu found an elf's waveguide in an alley, waved his claws and asked Ikki to follow, and immediately rushed in.

————————————————————

"Riolu, where is that elf? I'm almost exhausted..."

"Olulu..."

"Huh? You have to run back again..."

"Olu!"

The two people had been wandering around here for a long time, and they got lost not because the road was too complicated, but because of the elf.

Riolu was also a little impatient. The elf seemed to know their existence and kept changing its position, even using teleportation. The distance was very far each time, as if it was playing tricks on them.

[Let’s go separately, you go over there]

Without waiting for Ikki to react, Riolu sped up and ran into another alley.

"Hey! I can't run anymore..."

As long as Riolu gets serious, he won't notice anything else at all, and Ikki knows this very well.

"No matter what, let's take a rest first." After saying that, he found a step next to him and sat down.

Riolu, who rushed into the alley, was running at full speed.Since the other party can move instantly, it is most likely an elf belonging to the super power system.

"Tsk!" Riolu secretly gasped.It seems a bit disadvantageous in terms of properties.

I don’t know if the elf lost interest or ran out of energy. It had stayed in place for a long time without moving. Or maybe it thought Riolu and Ikki had lost track and relaxed its vigilance?

The former is more likely.Someone who can steal things under the eyes of so many people must have considerable strength.

'If it is a super-type, there might be a chance to defeat it, let Ikki conquer it and study the so-called super-type. '

50 meters...30 meters...the distance between them is constantly shortening.

The light gradually became brighter, and Riolu followed the direction of the waveguide and came to a small courtyard.

'It's obviously right here...'

When he stepped into the courtyard, the elf also disappeared in an instant, and this time it was not moving instantly.

'Where have you gone! '

Super-type elves are rare, and their number may be similar to that of existing Riolu. They are all endangered species, but why do such rare elves appear in such a place?

Riolu came to the place where the elf was standing and squatted down. He closed his eyes and stretched out his paws to press on the ground, trying to find traces of it on the remaining waveguide.

The waveguide clearly reflected the path it had just taken, and Riolu slowly groped for the footprints.

'What...what's going on! '

The footprints only extended less than ten meters before suddenly breaking off.

'Can it still fly? '

If that was really the case, then there was really nothing he could do.

Suddenly, Riolu felt something strange.

"I didn't expect to meet a Sinnoh elf in the Kanto area, and it was a Riolu. It's really a headache..." A young woman's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Riolu stood up quickly, but before he looked behind him, he suddenly realized that he couldn't move his body.

'Is it telekinesis? '

The voice continued: "Can you please stop pestering us? We just don't have money for the time being and we will return it to the proprietress in a few days, so please don't chase me."

"Olu! [Who are you?]"

"Human? I'm not a human, I'm an elf like you."

"Oh? [Telepathy!]"

"You're so smart. You actually know this. No, no, now is not the time to praise others. Can you please stop chasing me? I'm begging you."

The elf actually used a pleading tone.

"Olulu...Olu. [Will you really pay it back?]"

Riolu heard the elf sigh, and then smelled an alluring fragrance.

"Of course it's true. You look very similar to someone I know. You both have such a serious tone...but I don't mind you."

Out of the corner of his eye, Riolu saw a pair of small white hands hugging him.

"Olu! [What are you doing!]"

Riolu was suddenly hugged by an elf of whom he had no idea what kind he was. The voice sounded like it was that of a woman. This made Riolu feel at a loss.

"It's nothing, don't be so stingy. I just have a feeling... you are so similar to him."

————————————————————

"Riolu? Where are you?"

Ikki rested for a while and then set off to look for Riolu. The alley was so big that it was still very difficult to find an elf.

"In that case, just trust your sixth sense! Just go... this way!"

Ikki randomly chose one of the three paths in front of him and walked in.

But unexpectedly, he really made the right move.

"Leo Lu!"

Ikki walked out of the alley, and was suddenly illuminated by the sun from a dark place. He subconsciously raised his hand to block the sun, and then casually turned his head and saw Riolu leaning against the corner.

He hurried over.

"What's wrong with you? Wake up, Riolu!"

Being shaken vigorously by Ikki, Riolu slowly opened his eyes, sorted out his memory a little, and then jumped up suddenly, startling Ikki.

'That guy...actually used hypnosis on me!Damn it! '

Riolu finally realized the power and convenience of the super power system.

However, in the woods north of Cerulean City, an unknown elf was covering his mouth and laughing.
