Pokémon Beyond the Blue

Those elf hunters quickly walked out of the sight of two people and one elf. Although they were unwilling to continue to let them do whatever they wanted, the situation in front of them still prevented them from acting rashly.

"Huh~ Are those guys that powerful? Even the gym leaders are so cautious."

With that said, Yuuto glanced at Ajie who was confirming the situation.

"...Let me tell you this, wasn't it said that three powerful elves were discovered in the forest recently? That is their masterpiece..."

Yuuto took a deep breath as he recalled the three seriously injured elves he found in the forest.

Fortunately, I didn't rush in too quickly, otherwise something bad might have happened...

After confirming that there was no one around, A'jue stood up and asked the two of them to follow him.

"I still need you to do me a favor. I will go to them to settle accounts later. Please help me. Such people must not be allowed to go unpunished!"

Yuuto nodded in agreement, and then said to Riolu: "Let's go..."

Before he finished speaking, Yuuto was shocked.

Riolu had disappeared from where he was just now, and the tree where he was originally had a large piece of bark missing, and left deep claw marks.

"No! Ah Jue, let's follow him quickly!"

Yuuto broke into a cold sweat at the thought of where Riolu might go.

'Isn't this guy going to find those hunters by himself? '

But A'jue didn't hear it. They acted like ninjas and ran far away in just an instant.

With no other choice, Yuuto had no choice but to find Riolu himself, hoping that he hadn't come into contact with those hunters yet.

But when Yuuto caught up with Riolu, he was dumbfounded.

"Yuuto? Where is this?"

I saw the six hunters I had just seen falling to the ground one by one with bruises and swollen faces. Two of them still had elf balls in their hands. It seemed that they were knocked down instantly before they could throw them out.

"Instead of what's the problem here, you should explain what's going on with you..."

"Me? I'm fine!"

"Are you okay? Don't tell me that these guys beat themselves up like this!"

Riolu looked down at the people at his feet and was also shocked.

"How can you be so seriously affected by memory? Phew~"

"Memory? Has anything happened to you before?"

Riolu shook his head and did not answer.

"It's better for us to catch up with Ah Ju quickly, oh! Don't forget to inform Junsha to come over."

Riolu was calling him more and more frequently, and Yuuto estimated that if he continued like this, he might end up being exhausted to death by him.

As a result, with the paper and pen that Riolu handed over, Yuuto quickly wrote down a few words, and then called Bi Diao to deliver the letter instead.

"Now that we've caught them, do we still need to continue following Ah Ju?"

Originally, they came here to help Ah Ju deal with these guys. Now that the problem has been solved, what's the use of continuing to follow?

Riolu glanced at Yuuto and said, "Aren't you going to challenge the gym? Now go get some information!"

But having said that, they then encountered a dilemma...

"Do you... know the way?"

Riolu shook his head.

"Then how are we going to go?"

Sure enough, without Aju, Yuuto and Riolu would be unable to move in the forest.

In the end, I could only choose to wait where I was.

Riolu walked over to the fainted people on the ground and groped around them with his hands.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey! What are you doing! Are you interested in human bodies?"

He glared at Yuuto angrily, but Riolu did not stop what he was doing, and said to him while rummaging around: "I was just looking to see if there was anything useful on them. And I don't have that kind of hobby. !Next time you say that again, be careful I turn you into this!"

As he spoke, he raised his paw and waved it to threaten Yuuto.

  I don’t know what Yuuto wrote at that time, but Miss Junsha quickly located her position here.

After saying a few words of thanks and a few casual polite words, Yuuto took Riolu and fled from there.

"Can you not leave this kind of heroic thing to me every time, and do it with you!"

Thinking of Junsha's "why is it you again" look in his eyes just now, Yuuto felt particularly embarrassed. As expected, being a hero is not something you can just do.

"What's wrong? You're not willing to give you such a big benefit. Maybe Hua Ling will fall in love with you one day, so just be content!"

"...What are you talking nonsense about?!"

Riolu smiled softly.Unexpectedly, Yuuto is really interested in Hua Ling. At first, he thought he was the same character as Xiaogang. He is quite dedicated.

"I was just kidding, and I took it as revenge on you. Now it's even, let's go back as soon as possible!"

Riolu was a little worried about Ikki's condition now.

"and many more!"

Before taking two steps, Riolu was stopped by Yuuto.

"what happened?"

Yuuto looked at him and said word by word: "Although I don't object to you going to see Ikki, can you explain what happened to you two?"

Riolu fell silent.Don't you want Ikki to get hurt?Maybe it's a good reason, but Yuuto probably won't believe it.

"Then you'd better go and see for yourself!"

In the Elf Center, in front of Ikki's room.

"This is the key to the door. Go in yourself. I'll go to the Elf Lounge to take a rest."

I don't understand what happened to Riolu. He dropped the key and ran away. Could it be that he had a quarrel with Ikki?How is it possible...the two of them have such a good relationship.

Insert the key into the keyhole, apply slight force, and the door will open.

"Excuse me!"

Pushing the door open and walking in, Yuuto saw Ikki sitting on the bed wondering what he was thinking.

"Ikki, your arm!"

Of course, anyone who is not blind would not ignore such a conspicuous bandage.

"It's nothing. I accidentally injured myself and have already taken care of it. Look!"

Yuuto took the arm that Ikki handed over. Although he didn't understand medical things, even a layman could see that the wound was bandaged perfectly.

"That's it...Then I won't disturb your rest."

After saying that, Yuuto was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute, Yuuto!"

"Anything else?"

Yuto came over and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Riolu really wants to hide something important from me. Is there any way for him to tell me! I'm really... worried about him!"

Upon hearing this, Yuuto did not answer immediately, but instead looked at Ikki's injured arm.

"You should pay more attention to yourself. I will ask you about Riolu."

"No need to trouble you, I want to figure this out myself!"

Ikki grabbed Yuuto's shirt and forced him not to leave.

"Okay, okay, then I'll tell you a way!"

He leaned close to Ikki's ear and whispered something... After a while, Ikki's mouth opened in surprise.

"Is this...really okay?"

Yuuto confidently gave Ikki a thumbs up.

"Of course, it will be no problem!"

After closing the door, Yuuto leaned against the wall next to him, looked at the bright fluorescent lights in the corridor, and shook his head helplessly.

"Riolu, you are such a tormenting elf. Ikki cares about you so much. He is such a good trainer, why don't you follow him..."

After glancing in the direction of the Elf Lounge, Yuuto turned and left.

Although Riolu arrived in the lounge, he didn't really rest. Instead, he took the props he looted from the group of elf hunters and studied them carefully.

"This thing should come in handy in the competition..."
