My Name of the Spirit Lucario

I didn't expect that we didn't get along well before, but we ended up having such a high level of coordination in battle.

Leo looked at Zeraora in surprise, but the latter turned his head away somewhat arrogantly, leaving Leo with only his back.

It was just a beating I got in the Hall of Champions before, so why is he holding such a grudge?

Leo had no special idea on how to ease the relationship between the two. He could only scratch his head and continue to tie up the three men tightly.

Seeing that the situation had calmed down, Takuma slipped out from the bushes where he was hiding, and with very skilled gestures he made moves on the three people who were knocked unconscious and tied up.

Well, don't get me wrong, Takuma is just looting things from the Rocket Team members. Although he doesn't expect to find anything crucial, it would be good if he could find some supplies, because now they (the elves) are in the area occupied and controlled by the Rocket Team. Not to mention going to the elf center, even entering various towns may not be an easy task. If they get injured in future battles, without sufficient healing items, they will lose important combat capabilities.

"Hey, what is this?"

But you know what, Takuma really found some incredible things during this search.

The Rocket team member who commanded Sandslash was the leader of the three-person team, judging from the previous conversation and the decision-making behavior. Although there was nothing written in the small notebook in Takuma's hand, there was a folded piece of paper in the middle of the page.

"Let me see."

Leo also came over with great interest. When he was about to open the paper, suddenly, a force came from behind and pushed him forward.

"Boom", at the moment when Leo was pushed away, the thick dragon tail smashed on the spot. The force was so great that it even smashed a groove in the ground.

"Ahem, what?"

Leo was caught off guard and fell to the ground. He coughed out the dust in his mouth and looked in the direction of the sudden attacker.

The red Gyarados, its eyes glowing scarlet, was looking at them ferociously.

The one who pushed Leo away just now was Zeraora, who was standing in front of Takuma and took the attack from the red Gyarados.

"..."

Zeraora's right arm hung down somewhat unnaturally. It was obvious that she had just used this arm to block the opponent's [Dragon Tail] move and was injured. However, the lightning cat still had a grim expression on her face, and the lightning sparks on her body showed her anger.

After all, her trainer was almost hit by the Dragon's Tail just now. If she hadn't reacted quickly, the consequences would have been disastrous. How could she not be angry?

"(Elf) Wait, Gyarados, we are here to help you!"

Seeing the increasingly tense situation between the two, Leo quickly shouted to the red Gyarados.

Unexpectedly, the latter completely ignored Leo's shouts, but instead exuded a violent aura.

The chaotic and restless atmosphere was directly reflected on the waveguide, and the ominous red waves were particularly conspicuous in Leo's sensing field of vision.

"This is the side effect of [Reverse Scale]!"

Leo came to his senses instantly. According to his understanding, the dragon-type move [Reverse Scale] was extremely powerful. This move allowed the elf to fully utilize the advantages of physical attacks, thereby transforming them into extremely terrible damage. However, this riot controlled and stimulated by hormones in the body would cause the elf to fall into a frenzy where it could not control itself after performing the move.

The red Gyarados in front of him was exactly like that. Just now, [Reverse Scale] aroused his irrepressible ferocity. Even though he vented it on the large group of dark elves for a while, there was still an indelible rage in his heart. Facing the two remaining elves at the scene that exuded a powerful aura, the red Gyarados became even more manic. Its scarlet eyes locked onto the target, and it was ready to destroy everything in front of it.

After realizing this, Leo knew that he couldn't escape this fierce battle.

So he leaped up and stood beside Zeraora.

"It seems that we still need to subdue him before we can talk to him properly... Takuma, Zyra, let's go!"

Zeraora looked at Leo with some disdain, but at this critical moment, he did not make a fuss. Instead, he followed Leo's pace and rushed forward together.

"Ouch!!!"

The red Gyarados opened its mouth wide and let out a deafening roar. As the air vibrated, extremely oppressive pressure instantly descended upon the two Pokémons.

[Roar] Combined with the "Intimidation" characteristic of a Pokémon like Gyarados, if it were a Pokémon with a weak mind, it would probably have been scared to death.

But Leo and Zeraora were not such timid Pokémon. Facing the sudden pressure, the two Pokémon simply paused for a few breaths, and then they all turned into a white light, leaving a trace as fast as lightning, and rushed towards the red Gyarados in the air.

[Lightning flashes]!

Takuma adjusted the headphones he had put on just in time to block out the roar of the red Gyarados, and stared at the two white lights that crossed and separated in the air and then shot towards the same target at the same time.

"Xiao Jie, [Lightning]!"

The boy shouted at the top of his lungs, as if he was afraid that his elf couldn't hear his orders.

Zeraora, who was leaping in the air, suddenly appeared from the white light. Endless lightning was generated inside its body and rapidly flowed on its surface. Its golden hair stood up under the stimulation of the electric current, making the whole elf look like a large ball of electricity.

Stimulated by the extremely restrained Electricity attribute, the Red Gyarados is naturally unwilling to wait foolishly for the opponent's attack to fall on itself. Although the side effects of [Reverse Scale] still affect its brain and make its thoughts not so clear, it does not prevent the body from making instinctive reactions.

The huge dragon body was swaying flexibly in the air, and it bit Zeraora, who was emitting electric light, like a python coming out of a cave.

The angry and ferocious mouth was covered with a thick layer of ice, especially the four sharp teeth on the upper and lower parts, which were wrapped in ice energy and shaped into hard and sharp frozen fangs.

Even with a confused mind, the red Gyarados knew that if he bit down like this, even if he could hit the target, he would definitely be shocked by the electric current. But now it was different. With a layer of ice blocking it, the electric current could not be transmitted to his body. In this way, the most threatening lightning could not do anything to him.

This is the ice-type move, [Frozen Fang]!

The plan is beautiful, but the reality is quite bleak.

He was so focused on dealing with Zeraora's red Gyarados that he completely forgot that there was a figure approaching him at a rapid speed.

"Bang", under the impact of [Flash of Lightning], Leo kicked the red Gyarados, and then with the rebound force brought by the latter, he flipped over and landed in front of the red Gyarados.

The red Gyarados was annoyed by the sudden kick, and didn't care that the original intention of his [Frozen Fang] was to deal with Zeraora. Seeing Leo was right in front of his mouth, he immediately opened his bloody mouth and was about to bite him.

And Leo's behavior, which seemed to be putting himself at the mercy of others, was not to be hurt in vain.

Although ice is hard, it is as brittle as paper in front of the combat energy with explosive capabilities.

"【Wave Missile】..."

The spiraling wave energy soon formed an energy bomb in Leo's hand.

Then, Leo aimed at the big mouth that was about to bite. No, perhaps there was no need to aim at all. He just pushed the wave energy bomb in his hand forward.

"burst!"

The moment this short word came out of his mouth, Leo kicked the red Gyarados head again, kicking the latter away, and at the same time successfully pulled his hand out of the other's mouth and made himself fly backwards.

The red Gyarados was kicked hard again and bit down subconsciously.

Then, I felt the ground rapidly expanding in my mouth.

"Bang." A blue light overflowed from the edge of the red Gyarados's mouth, and along with it flew a large amount of ice that turned into fragments.

Before the red Gyarados could spit out the ice chips in its mouth, it saw a large ball of electricity emerging from behind the Pokémon that had kicked it twice.

Thunder seemed to roar between heaven and earth, and a golden ball of electricity struck the red Gyarados like a falling meteor.

Considering that Zeraora has been charging for such a long time, and the red Gyarados has a weakness to quadruple electric shock, if this attack hits, the red Gyarados will probably be unable to fight.

Leo felt something was not right, but things had already reached a point where the arrow had to be shot, and even he couldn't stop it.

We can only pray that the red Gyarados can take this attack and not become enemies with them afterwards.

After all, one of the important purposes of coming to help Red Gyarados is to see if he can persuade it to join the team, so that they can have an additional valuable fighting force when fighting against Team Rocket later.

However, an unexpected scene happened. Just as the electric light was about to hit the red Gyarados, suddenly, the air seemed to be solidified by something, and the rushing ball of electric light was suddenly stopped in the air.

"this!!"

Leo and Takuma showed surprised expressions, especially Leo. He quickly remembered that when the Rocket Team members threw out the Dark Poké Ball and tried to forcibly subdue the Red Gyarados, the Dark Poké Ball was also stopped in the same way.

"(Elf language) Be careful, I sense a strong mental fluctuation!"

Mini Alakazam, who was originally resting on Takuma's shoulder, suddenly flashed to Leo's ear and gave him a warning.

Indeed, the ability to hover objects in the air can only be achieved with psychic telekinesis.

But the problem is, judging from the fighting posture of the red Gyarados, it is a purely physical Pokémon, and it is impossible for it to exert such a huge and exquisite telekinesis, so who is it? Is there another person or Pokémon?

Leo looked around with a vigilant gaze, and finally locked his target on the small island in the center of the "Lake of Anger".

"(Elf) Honorable guest, please come to the island to see me."

A faint voice was carried by the wind into the ears of Leo and others (elves), and the unknown telekinesis that bound Zeraora was also released.

Zeraora, whose attack was interrupted for no reason, raged helplessly for a few times on the spot, but had no place to vent his anger as the red Gyarados went away.

Fortunately, Takuma was there to comfort it carefully, and finally the angry big cat calmed down.

"Ahem, let's go over and take a look... But how do we get there?"

Leo estimated the distance from the lakeside to the small island in the center of the lake. Although this "Lake of Anger" is not very big, even according to an inaccurate calculation, the distance is still nearly one thousand meters. This distance is not a distance that Leo or Zeraora can jump directly over with Takuma on their backs.

Just as Leo was wondering, the white mist that had been filling the lake dissipated a little, and an elf shaped like a long-necked snake dragon swam to the lakeside.

That is Laplace, also nicknamed the "dragon-riding" elf. Looking at his quietly waiting posture, it is obvious that he is the owner of the lake who asked him to come and pick up Leo and others (the elves).

"Hiss...why does this scene look so familiar?"

Riding on the uneven back shell of Laplace, Leo's body rose and fell with the movement of the former. For some reason, he felt that this scene had a strong sense of déjà vu.

"As far as I can remember..." Leo looked at Takuma who was looking around with great interest. He vaguely felt that the place where the boy was standing was where an elf had stood before.

……

Lapras swam very fast and soon reached the center of the lake, which made Leo sigh that it was no wonder that this kind of Pokémon was so popular among trainers who liked water sports.

"(Elf) Thank you...By the way, have we met before?"

After politely thanking him, Leo couldn't help but ask Laplace.

"..."

Laplace smiled gently but did not answer Leo's question. After placing the few people (elves) on the island in the middle of the lake, he turned around and dived into the water.

But for some reason, Leo felt that Laplace's back was filled with sadness.

But it was Laplace's smile that finally made Leo remember.

"I remember now, Crescent Lake...they are the water elves of Crescent Lake!"

The dormant memories began to revive. He remembered that in order to investigate the abnormality in Crescent Forest, Leo and his then-Geoblast companion went to Crescent Lake to visit the leader there. It was Lapras who sent the two Pokémon to the Crescent Lake leader's location. Leo even remembered that he had fought with the elite Gyarados of Crescent Lake, but the battle was stopped by Lapras's singing.

"So, it was the Golduck leader who used telekinesis to stop Team Rocket and Zeraora? I guess that's right. This Elite Lapras gives me a very familiar feeling... So, that red Gyarados is the Pokémon Gyarados I fought before? No, no matter what, the phenomenon of different-colored shining Pokémons won't appear suddenly... I clearly remember that the color of that Elite Gyarados was the most normal blue and white."

"(Elf language) Yes, you guessed it right. We are the elves who once lived in Crescent Lake."

A slightly old voice sounded, and Leo couldn't help but turn his head to look.

I saw several figures slowly appearing in the underwater cave on the small island in the middle of the lake.

Walking in the front is a Gotha duck.

No, the word "walk" is not appropriate to describe it, because the legs of this Gotha Duck have disappeared, and the entire elf can only rely on invisible mental power to support it and "float" all the way here.
