Pokémon Beyond the Blue

"Them? Grandpa Fuji, do you know who is coming? But their attitude is really bad."

Ikki frowned, looked at the constantly shaking wooden door, and thought to himself: You shouldn't be too polite to treat a guy like this.

"Old man, our boss is looking for you. If you know what's going on, get out of here!"

Grandpa Fuji had no choice but to put Caracara in the corner and open the door himself.

"Our boss has something to do with you, come here quickly!"

When the leader saw the door open, he grabbed Grandpa Fuji's collar and yelled without any courtesy at all.

"Mr. Fuji..."

When everyone in the nursery saw this, they were all too frightened to come forward to help.

"What's wrong with everyone? Why are you all watching Grandpa Fuji being treated like this?"

At this time, no one dared to speak. Only a few who were bolder quietly approached Ikki's ear and explained in a trembling voice: "They are from Team Rocket, and there will be no good consequences for going against them." There’s nothing we can do.”

Speaking of this, there was a helpless sigh from the crowd.

"Kid over there, I think you seem to have a problem with us. Do you want me to educate you?"

A member of Team Rocket outside the door had his hands on his hips and happened to catch sight of Ikki who was talking to the uncle next to him. He kicked open another door and walked towards him slowly.

"Ah...no...that..."

Before he had time to explain, his collar was suddenly pulled up by a pair of big hands, and his feet were slightly off the ground.

"Huh? I didn't hear what you said, please speak louder!"

"Don't embarrass your children, I'll go with you!"

As if the conspiracy had succeeded, he dropped Ikki, spat at Grandpa Fuji's feet, and walked over in disgust.

"Stubborn old man, if you have to do this, wouldn't it be better if you said this earlier? You really don't think about everyone in the nursery."

Several more people came in from outside the door, forcefully picked up Grandpa Fuji and walked out.

"Wait a moment……"

Ikki, who was thrown to the ground, stopped Team Rocket who was about to leave.

"Wait a minute! You can't take him away like this!"

I remember Riolu once told him that Team Rocket is an evil organization and should never be messed with except under special circumstances.But if he was allowed to watch others being taken away unwillingly, there was no way he could just leave them alone.

Grandpa Fuji shook his head, but Ikki didn't realize what he meant. He stood up, ran over and grabbed one of them by the clothes.

"You can't do this!"

Ikki didn't know where he got the courage from, so he held on tightly with both hands.

"Don't get in the way!"

The man kicked Ikki in the abdomen.Even an adult would not be able to bear being hit hard by a leather shoe with a hard heel, let alone a child.

Ikki immediately lay on the ground holding his belly, looking very painful, but did not cry out.

"Did you see it? This is what happens if you hinder Team Rocket!"

After that, he laughed and left with a few people traveling with him.

When everyone saw them leaving, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and ran over to help Ikki up.

Kirulian, who had run away without knowing where she was just now, came up behind Ikki, and before he could stand firm, she kicked him in the calf, making him sit back on the ground.

"Chirulian, you..."

"You idiot! Idiot! Why are you going against them without even using your brain! Even that Riolu understands the truth, but why are you so slow when it comes to you!"

Although I don’t know why, even a fool can tell: Chirulian is angry, and very angry.

Everyone around was shocked.Everyone only saw that the elf brought by Ikki was very beautiful, but no one expected that she could actually speak, and they all started talking quietly.

"Kara!"

Of course, what just happened was also seen by this little guy.

"Caracara, are you worried about grandpa?"

An orange-haired girl with twin ponytails and a pink dress walked out of the crowd. Judging from her age, she should be a year or two older than Ikki.

At this time, he was worriedly holding on to the wooden partition used to divide the area, holding his clothes tightly with his left hand, looking very sad.

"Wait, don't move, I'll take care of it for you."

Kirulian pressed Ikki's shoulders with her small hands, and a stream of colorful light flashed alternately on both of them.

Ikki rubbed the area where he had just been kicked, and the pain gradually disappeared.

"Thank you."

He stood up, patted the dust collected from sitting on the ground twice, and prepared to walk out.

"Where are you going?"

"Of course I went to save Grandpa Fuji. How could I stand by and watch when someone was taken away?"

"Are you really stupid! Haven't you seen how many people there are? How many elves are there per person? How can you fight against them just by yourself!"

"But...but..."

"Yes, little brother, there is no way we can fight it alone. Maybe they will put Mr. Fuji back in a while." "Yes, yes, we should wait."

Not just Kirulian, but everyone began to advise Ikki not to interfere, except the girl.

"I'm sorry, even if you say so, I still have to go. If I can't fight this kind of thing..." Ikki clasped his hands, raised his head suddenly, and looked at everyone firmly, "You'll have to try it and you'll know!"

"Wait a minute! I'll go with you!"

It's the orange-haired girl with a ponytail.

"Rena, it's too dangerous, you can't do this!"

The girl who was called Rena shook her head slightly: "Since everyone knows that there is danger, then we should save Grandpa Fuji. How can we sit here and wait! Even people in other towns are so enthusiastic, we Do you still want to remain indifferent? Hey! Everyone."

He looked at everyone as if asking for help, but everyone looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.

Ikki sighed, opened the door and walked out, followed by Kirulian and the disappointed Reina.

This was the second time he came to the elf center, but he didn't expect that it would be him who came for the examination.

However, although the Elf Center is a public facility dedicated to serving elves, humans can handle it just for inspections.

After learning that it was nothing serious, Ikki expressed his gratitude to Kirulian again. After that, he didn't know where she ran away.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't expect everyone to be so indifferent..."

Reina lowered her head, and the bangs on her forehead blocked her eyes, making it impossible for Ikki to judge her expression at this time.

"No need to apologize. After all, this happened of my own free will."

Ikki suddenly felt that his abrupt decision was a little too brainless.

"Grandpa Fuji once said," Reina said suddenly, "he didn't want humans to treat elves as tools or machines for making money. He hoped that humans and elves could become friends who relied on each other, so he started running a nursery."

"So, that house is..."

"Well, it's Grandpa Fuji's home."

Ikki suddenly felt that his decision began to make sense again.

"Then why doesn't everyone help Grandpa Fuji?" Regarding this, Ikki felt very strange. Although everyone was dissatisfied, no one was willing to help.You know, in this case, if there is the first person to take the lead, then there will definitely be the second and third people. It is impossible to be unable to fight against those few people, but since everyone is unwilling to take action, it must be There is another hidden story.

"Is it because of the Elf Tower?"

"Elf Tower? Is it the tower in the city center?"

"Well, that's a tower built by people to commemorate the dead elves. Every year, people come here to worship. But since Team Rocket came, they took over the entire tower and threatened to destroy the entire tower if anyone dared to resist. A tower.”

"That's so abominable!"

"Well, because everyone still loves their own elves, no one wants the tower to be damaged. It is for this reason that they watched Grandpa Fuji being taken away by them."

Ikki gritted his teeth hard.

From this point of view, Riolu's words are correct, but with his current strength, Charmander and Lulili, he is really not enough to fight Team Rocket.But how did Riolu know about Team Rocket?

At this moment, a young man pushed open the door and entered.
