My Name of the Spirit Lucario

Elves have many magical abilities, so of course, it is impossible that fighting is the only way.

Other professions, such as elf trainer, are another profession that aims to cultivate outstanding elves but does not focus on combat.

But among all these professions, there is one that is particularly special: it does not subdue the elves, but more importantly, it uses the power of the elves to maintain the harmony of nature.

This profession is called Elf Ranger.

……

To be honest, Leo and Soichi don't have a very deep friendship. The most they (the elves) had was in the Crescent Forest, when they subdued the mad leader elf and worked together to go deep into the forest to rescue the missing doctor and others. It can be said that they only met once.

But seeing familiar faces in the Middle region after a long time, Leo couldn't help but feel a sense of "meeting old friends in a foreign land".

On the other side, although the elf in front of him was different from the previous one, with a taller stature, a slimmer body, and a more mature expression, but with the unique shape and the unique intuition of an elf ranger, he recognized it at a glance. This was the strange elf named Leo from nearly a year ago.

After recognizing each other, both sides breathed a sigh of relief and put back the moves they had prepared.

"By the way, why are you here?" x2

The two (elves) looked at each other and asked at the same time.

"Um, you go first." x2

They asked again in unison.

Pachirisu couldn't bear it any longer, so he stretched out his little paw, pressed the mouth of his friend Soichi, and motioned for Leo to continue.

Leo knew very well that this was definitely not Chuangyi's room, and looking at the way the man and the elf entered the room, it did not look like they came in with good intentions towards the owner of the room. Although it seemed a bit fanciful to think so, when he thought that the owner of the room might be a member of an evil organization, everything seemed to make sense.

Because he didn't know how long this suspected member of Team Rocket had been gone, even though he and Souichi were reunited after a long time, Leo didn't dare to chat too much and waste time, so he took out the towel with the "R" logo on it and asked directly.

"Is this what you are looking for?"

Souichi's expression hardened, and he pried open Pachirisu's claws and asked back.

"Leo, I know you have a special ability. Can you track down where the owner of this towel went?"

Perhaps fearing that Leo didn't know the inside story, Chuangyi added a sentence.

"Because time is of the essence, I will explain to you what happened on the way...Also, there is a piece of news about Crescent Forest that I think you should also hear."

Crescent Forest?

The familiar noun brought back Leo's memories, but Soichi's unpleasant tone also made Leo feel a little uneasy.

Leo's original purpose was to investigate why the person who was suspected to be a member of Team Rocket would capture Scyther. It seems that his purpose and Souichi's purpose are quite similar.

That is the most urgent task, to find this person!

……

Fortunately, the scent of the towel user was still lingering in the air, and with his unique sense of smell, Leo followed the direction of the scent and ran out of the hotel with Soichi and Pachirisu.

Standing at the door of the hotel, Leo sniffed hard, thought for a moment, and pointed to the north of Yuanqi City.

"It should be in that direction."

Chuang took one quick step to a motorcycle parked on the side of the road and signaled to Leo.

"Sit up."

Amid the roar of the motorcycle, Leo sat in the back seat and heard Soichi's voice explaining what had happened.

"Do you still remember the battle with Mewtwo? After that battle, you and Mewtwo were caught in the space turbulence and disappeared. If we hadn't seen the various incidents between you and that little girl in the news reports later and confirmed that you were safe and sound in the Middel area, that little guy Takuma would have been clamoring to come find you a long time ago...By the way, you are quite brave, with the gigantic size and Rayquaza, I don't know whether to say that you are unlucky or what, it seems like you have encountered everything..."

It was also the first time that Leo knew that Souichi could talk so long-winded and irrelevantly. Pachirisu was so angry that he slapped Souichi on the head.

"Ahem, sorry, I got off topic... Let's go back to the beginning. Deep in the Crescent Forest, there was a research institute hidden where Team Rocket secretly cultivated their combat weapon, Mewtwo. And everything that happened was caused by this institute."

"But I remember when I was fighting Mewtwo, wasn't this research institute almost destroyed?"

Recalling that earth-shaking battle, Leo didn't think that the research institute, which was used as the main battlefield, could survive intact in the aftermath of that battle.

Moreover, now that Team Rocket's secret base has been exposed, there is no reason why the Elf League would not keep a close watch on this place, so Leo simply couldn't imagine what could possibly go wrong in a damaged and strictly monitored research institute.

"The problem is that the research institute is not just researching how to cultivate Mewtwo. While cultivating Mewtwo, Team Rocket was also conducting another research. This research had already yielded results before the institute was destroyed, and Team Rocket headquarters began to put it into use at that time... Do you remember that Team Rocket cadre, Gerald?"

That crazy man, the Rocket Team cadre who tried to control Mewtwo's power but was ruthlessly killed by the latter, left a very deep impression on Leo. The reason was not only because it was the first time Leo encountered such an evil villain in the real world, but also because of his extremely greedy look for power, which still makes Leo shudder when he recalls it.

"I remember. What's the matter?"

"At that time, our attention was all on the awakened Mewtwo, but we overlooked one thing... that is, the prop in Gerald's hand that was used to try to control Mewtwo..."

"Black Poké Ball!"

Leo blurted it out without even a hint of hesitation.

Souichi was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Leo had already revealed the answer before he finished speaking.

In fact, Leo was already somewhat nervous about the black Poké Ball. When he was adventuring in the East District of Middle, the Dark Regis Chirrut and Dark Articuno controlled by the Dark Poké Ball, and even the sea and land war caused by Groudon and Kyogre at that time, all had the existence of this strange thing. Needless to say, a certain mysterious and weird man seemed to be inseparable from this darkness.

"Yes, it was this dark elf ball that caused the unrest in the East region that has not been quelled until now. This is also the reason why the East region failed to send a team to provide support when the Middel region suffered a disaster."

……

From Souichi, Leo learned that about half a year ago, the evil organization Team Rocket, which had been wiped out by the Elf League and only had a small remnant, announced its revival as forcefully as an indestructible cockroach.

At first, the public, trainers, and even the official Pokémon League did not take Team Rocket seriously. Although this evil organization has a long history in the East region, Team Rocket has appeared countless times in history, but was quickly extinguished after appearing. Recently, under the leadership of Red, who is said to be the strongest trainer in history, a group of outstanding trainers such as Oak Green, Gold, Silver, Little Yellow, Little Blue, Chris, and many colleagues helped to wipe out the foundation of Team Rocket. It is reported that except for the leader of Team Rocket, Sakaki, who escaped by chance, all other cadres, big and small, were arrested and brought to justice. Therefore, facing the resurrection declaration of Team Rocket this time, people only regarded it as the remaining soldiers and generals who still wanted to imitate the previous organization leader.

But what was unexpected was that this resurrection declaration, which was considered a fantasy, officially kicked off a tug-of-war between Team Rocket and the Elf League that lasted for more than half a year.

"how is this possible?"

Leo exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.

In his mind, the power of the Elf Alliance was unfathomable, and it was hard to imagine that there would be an organization that could compete head-on with it. Apart from anything else, the legendary trainer, Red, who was the pillar of the alliance, was incredibly powerful.

How to define the strength of that trainer? In the games, animations, or comics of Leo's previous life, Red was the original protagonist and the only trainer who had won 16 badges and two league championships. He was also listed as the strongest hidden challenge character in countless works. In simpler terms, Red is the only trainer who has defeated Mewtwo head-on in official works and conquered the god of battle. Please note that the Mewtwo here is proficient in two Mega evolutions and can evolve into Super Mewtwo X and Super Mewtwo Y. It can be seen how terrifying such strength is.

In this real world that corresponds to the games and anime of the previous life, Red's strength may not be as strong as in those works, but it will definitely not be weakened too much. Not to mention Green, Ajin and other trainers who were once the protagonists. How could the Pokémon Alliance, with such a solid team, be dragged into the muddy game of war by a mere Rocket Team?

"Everything depends on this dark elf ball."

After Team Rocket announced the resurrection, its members appeared in various towns in the East region the next day. What the gym owners guarding the towns did not expect was that these members were not strong, but they had powerful elves that did not match their own strength. Those leader-level or even overlord-level elves that should have lived in the depths of forests, lakes and mountains appeared in the hands of Team Rocket members who might even be at the bottom.

In addition, each member of Team Rocket can even command a large number of high-level elves, which makes it very difficult for the temporary resistance forces in various towns to resist. Fortunately, the gym owners certified by the Elf Alliance still have certain strength. Even if they are attacked by these powerful elves who come from nowhere, they can still repel the invasion of Team Rocket with the advantage of being familiar with the terrain.

But the problem is that after losing a large number of elves on the first day, the Rockets were able to organize a new wave of elves and launch another offensive on the second day. And those elves seemed tireless, and each of them seemed to fight to the death.

Under this continuous attack, many towns were lost. In desperation, the gym leaders of those towns could only evacuate with the citizens who did not want to be ruled by Team Rocket to the surrounding cities centered on the Elf Alliance branch in the East region, temporarily live there, and continue to fight against Team Rocket under the leadership of the Elf Alliance, planning to retake those lost cities.

The key to Team Rocket's success is the mysterious and strange black Poké Ball.

This black Poké Ball, named "Dark Poké Ball" by the Alliance, has a strange ability: it can forcibly capture Pokémons regardless of their will. As we all know, to capture Pokémons, you must fight with them and make them recognize you. Only then can you capture Pokémons. Even the Poké Ball "Master Ball" that claims to be able to capture everything is only because it has the rare top conditions in the world: the living environment inside the ball is comfortable, and it can even subtly improve the Pokémon's strength, as well as many magical effects that make Pokémons irresistible. It is not "absolute capture" in an absolute sense.

But the Dark Poké Ball is different. No matter how strong the Pokémon is, or whether the Pokémon is willing or not, this Poké Ball can forcefully capture it. What's even more outrageous is that the Alliance has analyzed this Poké Ball and found that its production cost is no different from that of an ordinary Poké Ball. In other words, Team Rocket can create such an outrageous item to capture Pokémons anytime and anywhere. No wonder Team Rocket's backup forces are so abundant that they can even catch the Alliance off guard.

Having said that, Leo roughly knew what had happened in the East region in the past six months.

But Leo was more concerned about something else.

"Crescent Forest, what happened?"

Souichi said after a moment of silence.

"Unfortunately, the Crescent Forest is located within the area occupied by Team Rocket, and the forest has been destroyed by a fire..."
