Pokémon Beyond the Blue

"Delang, put that elf down, you can't touch it!"

Yuuto's voice actually sounded mature and dignified under the circumstances, but that alone was not enough.

But after Yuuto said these words, Delang, who was about to leave with Riolu in his arms, actually stopped and turned around as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Yuuto, there are two more elves!"

Hua Ling shouted to Yuuto while treating the second elf's injury.

Yuuto didn't look back, and Ikki couldn't see his expression behind him. He could only hear him speaking softly to Ikki behind him in a voice that he didn't know whether he was pretending to be or his original voice.

"Go and help Hua Ling. It's very simple. You should know it at a glance. Leave Riolu's affairs to me."

"But, but..."

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring Riolu back. After all, I want Riolu too."

He smiled, not the usual exaggerated smile, but a heartfelt, reassuring smile.

Although Yuuto did this, Ikki still hesitated to leave.

"Don't worry, I won't take the opportunity to conquer him, I want to compete with you!"

"I know, you must save Riolu!"

At the moment, Kaki was completely unable to fight, so he had no choice but to follow Yuuto's words and come to Hualing's side to help, and prayed that Yuuto would win.

Originally, Ikki planned to ask Gengar, who he couldn't control, to help, but who knew that this guy wouldn't even come out with the ball, directly cutting off Ikki's hope.

Seeing Ikki leave obediently, Yuuto regained his serious expression and said to Delang opposite.

"It's not very convenient here. Let's go to the woods."

"You kid is actually here. At first, I thought he was just a kid who looked similar. Come on, I'm unlucky today."

"..."

Yuuto stopped talking nonsense and stared at Delang's every move until he entered the woods with him.

Ikki glanced worriedly at the place where the two entered the forest, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, but Hua Ling didn't give Ikki any extra time to think about what they were doing, and was called to hand over the tools.

It has to be said that Hua Ling's technique is very skillful, and the movements are all coherent, without a second being redundant. This also makes Ikki, who is serving as an assistant for the first time, very busy.

The closer the distance, the more terrifying Ikki can see the wounds on these elves.At the same time, Yuuto and Riolu were worried again.

It was very quiet in the forest, no sound could be heard, not even the sound of fighting.

Ikki wanted to find out where the two of them had gone, but Hua Ling couldn't lack help.

"I hope nothing happens to them..."

"Don't worry, he has already challenged at least four gyms. He must have more experience than you," Hua Ling quickly treated each wound while answering Ikki's soliloquy. , "Just leave the rest to him. Aren't you partners? Partners must trust each other."

"but……"

"We just have to do what we can. That elf of yours must also think so and fight for you."

Hearing this, Ikki was stunned.

"Fight for me? How come?"

Hua Ling wiped the sweat on her forehead and took a long breath. She looked tired, but she couldn't stop what she was doing, so she could only continue to say to Yihui: "That elf can't fight for no reason. I I saw it just now, he forced himself to fight to protect you."

"But why does he force himself to fight for me!"

"I don't know about this. It should be because of the relationship between friends. Judging from the good relationship between you two, it should be like this."

Was Riolu forcing himself? Why didn't he realize it earlier?

Ikki tightened his grip on the gauze, causing the strong gauze to become severely deformed.

"You just believe in your two friends. Everything they did now or just now was for you, whether they forced it or stepped forward, this is proof of the friendship between you, isn't it?"

Ikki envied Hua Ling, envied her ability to comfort him so calmly even in this situation.

"So can you feel at ease now?"

Hua Ling turned her face sideways, her expression

There was no change on the floor, but it could be heard from her tone that she was concerned about Ikki.

"Well, thank you, let's continue."

After saying that, Ikki looked for the last time in the direction of the woods the two entered.

'Yuuto, I have to leave everything to you. '

After Ikki became familiar with the order in which Hua Ling used tools, the second Nidoking was quickly dealt with, but the situation of the remaining Bulbasaur was not optimistic.

"No, Bulbasaur will definitely die if this continues. Ikki, do you have any elves with healing skills?"

Ikki could only shake his head regretfully.

"This is going to be difficult to handle. It won't work if it goes on like this."

"But Miss Hualing, we can't wait like this. Let's give it a try first!"

Hua Ling picked up the disinfectant and scalpel and shrugged: "I'll think of a solution while I'm working hard!"

When talking to Hua Ling, Ikki knew that Yuuto had notified the Elf Center in Qianhong City, but the two of them did not know the specific location of their current location. Until the people from the Elf Center arrived, they could only rely on Hua Ling.

The two of them were busy for more than half an hour, and finally they were almost done.

"It's okay Ikki, I can leave this place to myself now. You can go check on the situation of the two people just now."

"But Miss Hualing, you are alone..."

"Don't worry, my level is very high!"

Hua Ling has wiped the sweat from her head countless times, but since she said so herself...

"Go quickly, aren't you worried about that elf?"

Ikki hesitated for a while and finally nodded.

"Well, Miss Hualing will be left to you. You must save it!"

After saying that, he immediately ran towards the forest.

While Hua Ling was sewing up Bulbasaur's wounds, she smiled and murmured to herself: "Not many people still care about elves so much."

Ikki ran in the forest, looking around for the two people as he ran.

'Yuuto, Riolu, where have you been? Make sure nothing happens to you! '

While running, he suddenly heard the sound of dry branches being broken in front of him. Ikki stopped and stared at the direction of the sound with bated breath.

'Who will it be, Yuuto or Delang? '

Ikki has now made up his mind that even if Yuuto fails, he will do everything possible to get Riolu back, which means he must let Gengar come out.

"Ikki! Why did you come here?"

Yuuto slowly pushed aside the branches, and slowly walked towards Ikki, who was staying in place, with Riolu in his hand.

"Yuuto?! You, you defeated that guy?!"

If I hadn't seen the Riolu in Yuuto's hand with my own eyes, Ikki would never have believed that Yuuto could defeat that Delang.

Yuuto handed Riolu to Ikki, rubbed the back of his head and said with a embarrassed look: "This...it's very troublesome to explain, so let's forget it."

Just as he was talking, Ikki felt a squirming movement in his arms.

"Riolo, are you okay?!"

Riolu opened his eyes and looked up at Ikki with eyes that had not yet regained focus.

"Olu...Olu!!"

After Riolu looked at Ikki for a few seconds, he seemed to suddenly remember something. He quickly looked around for something, and then his eyes fell on Yuuto.

'This guy! ! '

Riolu suddenly jumped from Ikki's arms to Yuuto and directly pressed him to the ground with brute force.

"Riolu...what are you doing? He's Yuuto!"

"Olu!!"

He patted the small iron box on the scarf vigorously and looked at Ikki with unyielding eyes.

"It's… okay."

If you want to know what Riolu wants to express, it's easier to talk directly.

In an instant, Riolu turned golden, but the first words he spoke using [telepathy] almost made Ikki wonder if he had heard wrong.

Riolu, who was pressing Yuuto to the ground, was heard saying angrily: "Yuuto, what is your relationship with that Delang!"

"!!!"
