This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 243 Sakaki of the Earth: Limitations of Super Powers

Compared with the final stage of the game and competition between Filio and Maple Leaf, Kerni's battle seemed logical and natural.

After practicing assiduously day after day, Wrestling Eagle finally got the chance to show his fangs.

The light-armored nature was perfectly suited to Korni's aggressive attack style, which advocated momentum. During the dazzling attack, the opponent who was about to graduate from the University of Miami as the chief student was completely overwhelmed. In less than a quarter of an hour, he surrendered. .

Even Philio, who quietly sneaked into the waiting area of ​​Corni and waited, didn't even sit on his butt, and the smiling Miss Cucumber came back calmly amidst the cheers of the audience.

Then, puffing up his face, he drove away Filio.

"Go, go, go! We are competitors, don't be so close!"

Bai Shengsheng clenched his little fist hard, and waved it up and down, filled with pretentious and insincere words.

-

The round-of-eighth finals that lasted all day came to an end, and the plan to take the opportunity to have sex with Corney was declared bankrupt at the very beginning. Only Miss Joy from Miare could bring some humanity radiance and warmth.

The elf food with special healing effects, the secret of the Joey family, let the tyrannosaurus eat it enthusiastically, and the wounds on his body began to heal slowly. Compared with the high-level elf food and energy cubes made by Philio himself It should be a bit stronger, but it's a pity that the formula and technique can't be analyzed at all, which makes people feel a little regretful.

After the match came to an end, Philio, who was bored after leaving the arena, could only chat with the profiteer Xiaolan first, and after looking for Xiaoyin who had disappeared, he turned back to the hotel in desperation alone.

Walking on the road, the crowds coming and going were the same as in the past, but amidst the peace, Philio noticed something and felt a little weird.

The superpower protruded from the body secretly, and spread to a range of more than a hundred meters around without anyone noticing, but no abnormality was found.

Rumang's gaze on his back didn't fade away, and he didn't even restrain himself. On the contrary, he seemed more and more unscrupulous, which made him secretly vigilant.

Team Flare?The mysterious organization that day?still……

Having seen many storms and waves, he has no doubts about his own perception, secretly thinking about his recent experiences, and thinking about the people or organizations with whom he has grudges.

He acted in accordance with the principle of eliminating evil and doing everything, and he seemed to have no unresolved grievances. In the vast Carlos, there were only three or two big cats and kittens left. There is a motive, and even the latter has no direct contact with him, at most he is angered by the shame of ruining a good thing.

As for the other poachers or whatever, either they have already returned to ashes, or they are going to spend the rest of their lives in prison, which is even less of a concern.

Not to mention, no matter how you say it, this is Miare during the preparations for the conference. Apart from the alliance headquarters of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there may be no safer place than here.

Fillio, who was puzzled, continued to walk forward according to the predetermined route. On the surface, his expression was normal, but his brain was running fast, thinking about how to catch the mouse that was following him.

While thinking, his eyes inadvertently passed the streets and alleys extending around like a spider web.

Different from the bright and wide main roads, even in the bustling Miare, the streets and alleys leading to the residential areas are just ordinary patterns, narrow and deep, like the city's capillary network, extending to the "outer layer" of the city .

It was not yet dark, and the street lamps had not yet been fully lit, and there were still bits and pieces of rubbish or sundries accumulated on the side of the road that hadn't had time to be cleaned all day.

The busy office workers haven't got off work yet, and the winding path looks very quiet at this time.

At least when Philio took the shortcut back to the hotel.

"Tap...tap...tap..."

The noise behind him gradually faded away, and the faint footsteps could be clearly heard in the silence. With the dim light, Philio straightened his slightly messy cuffs and went deeper.

Not far away, two blurry black figures turned covertly from the avenue. Their footsteps were silent. Even Filio's super power could only perceive them roughly, as if they were covered with a layer of mosaic.

But up to this moment, he was still not ready to make a move. He just stuffed his hands into his pockets silently, pressed the emergency communication button, and then sped up his pace a little.

Because, on the eaves not far away, there were two guys who were hiding their heads and tail, quietly following the two of them, alert to the surrounding situation.

There is no doubt that these four people are working together.

With a flash of thought, Philio has a plan.

One in front and one behind, the two men in black were separated by a few meters, covering each other, looking at the back of the person in front of them from a distance, and looking at their companions from time to time, and the eye contact returned to normal after the contact.

The specially made clothes allow them to almost blend in with the environment, even if they are right in front of their eyes, it sometimes makes people look a little blurry.

With their tacit cooperation and smooth tracking method, it is obvious that this is not the first time they have engaged in such a task. Whether it is in the streets or on the eaves, this four-person team is undoubtedly an expert.

To follow a young man who is famous and powerful but is still just starting out is a bit of an overkill for them.

Especially here is Carlos who is known for being loose, and they are an invincible intelligence combination and a sharp blade of the organization.

Thinking of the instructions given by their immediate superiors before setting off, a few people didn't show it on their faces, but they inevitably felt a little more scornful in their hearts.

The retribution was not good, and soon, they tasted the bitter fruit for their carelessness.

Suddenly, Philio, who was walking through an alley, suddenly disappeared from the sight of the two of them.

"It's an illusion! He found us in the alley on the right, catch him!"

Seeing that the two people below were unaware, the man in black on the eaves immediately warned in a low voice, winked with his companion on the left, and then quickened his pace, one step ahead of the two on the ground, and hurriedly chased after them. The elf ball hidden in the tights It was also pinched in the palm of the hand.

At this moment, how can they not understand that when they despise each other, the other party is secretly fishing for themselves.

The anger of being teased flickered in the eyes of the four at the same time, one fast and one slow, and the distance between them was slightly widened by the staggered activation.

The masked man who rushed to the front had reached the entrance of the alley in a blink of an eye, and the farthest companion behind him was still 30 meters away.

Not caring much, the age is unknown, the black-clothed woman with a bumpy figure jumped off from a high place first, and went straight to chase after Philio, who was running far away.

"Boom"

The thick soles hit the hard ground, making a muffled sound, but it just covered up the slight sound of breaking through the air that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.

"Whooooo"

The moment she landed on the ground, an extremely slender needle shot out from a blind corner of sight, a shadow at the entrance of the alley, and hit her collarbone exposed outside the protective clothing.

The powerful sleeping potion took effect immediately, and before throwing his elf ball, the vanguard who was determined to win felt his vision blurred, and his feet felt as if he was stepping on cotton, and he fell to the ground staggeringly.

"bang"

"What's going on?! Double bomb gas! Black mist!"

At the same time, the companion behind him was just blocked by the wall, and could only hear the dull sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, but could not see the situation.

In desperation, an elf ball was thrown out instantly, and then, a strong double-bomb gas appeared in the white light, and without hesitation, a large amount of black smoke mixed with toxins was ejected from the body, covering the entire corner. .

Taking this opportunity, the young man on the wall put on a protective mask and jumped down. While helping his unconscious partner, he looked around cautiously without noticing.

"You two, hurry up...!"

Just as he greeted his companions loudly, the murderous intent hidden in the shadows resurfaced.

"Boom"

Fillio, who had already run far away, burst like a bubble in an instant, turning into nothing.

"boom--"

Terrifying waves of super energy surged out from the empty shadow, and without the slightest reaction, they impacted on the double bomb gas and the man in black, shocking their minds.

The phantom tricks were naturally dispelled by the fluctuations in the space, and Philio, who came out of the dark like a tiger descending the mountain, had cold and fierce eyes.

"March!"

"Whoosh-boom"

The purple-black ball of light flashed away, submerged into the double bomb gas body, and exploded instantly, spreading the power of the King of Heaven.

Before the double-bombed gas fainted and fell to the ground, Big Mouth Baby rushed out from Philio's side, his dexterous figure moved like lightning, and crashed straight into the arms of the man in black who hadn't woken up from the chaos.

"bang"

A mouthful of blood spewed out suddenly, and cracks appeared on the wall behind the man in black in the violent collision.

In the blink of an eye, the second of the four of them had already left, and the last two arrived late, striding out from the winding alley.

The red sunglasses gave them vision through the black fog, and also allowed them to see the miserable condition of their two companions for the first time. The anger spread in their eyes and almost turned into substance.

Several Pokémon rushed out at the same time, each one of extraordinary strength, no less than Maple Leaf's Arbo monster, and they surrounded Philio, who had exposed his position, from all angles.

However, they, who were dazzled by anger, didn't notice that an invisible net had already been woven just above their heads.

"Cross-shaped bat, air slash! Abei monster, poison...!"

The burly man who was charging ahead gave an order, but before he could finish his words, a prickling and weak feeling that penetrated into the marrow of his bones gushed out from all over his body.

Subconsciously looking down, the large cotton with lavender powder had quietly spread all over his body.

Looking up again, a sly smiling face came into view, as well as a violet-colored phantom.

"Swish-bang"

The barrier of superpowers slammed into the two people and their Pokémon who couldn't move like a mountain. With a dull and heart-breaking impact, they were helpless and flew to the wall, chasing two teammates who had fainted. ’s footsteps.

From following secretly, to chasing blatantly, and then to annihilation of the whole army, within ten seconds or so, the menacing group of four turned into fish on the chopping board, leaving nothing but meat to be slaughtered.

After easily knocking down the group of four who were chasing him, Philio didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. He probed into the distance without reservation with his super powers. After confirming that there was no one around [-] meters away, he felt relieved and brushed off his trouser legs. Contaminated with dust, walked forward.

Standing in front of the last little man in black who deliberately tried to save his energy and did not knock him out directly, Filio's face was as dark as water. Dream Demon and Sun Eevee were on the left and right, guarding him, looking around vigilantly. .

Emperor Nabo, who had been hiding in the dark, also appeared, picked up the man in black who was still conscious but unable to get up, and dragged him to Philio's side.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?"

Looking at the unconvinced man in black, Philio's eyes turned cold, and his aura instantly made him feel like falling into an ice cave, but he still gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"The mouth is quite...!"

"buzz"

Seeing that his own super power could not intimidate the person in front of him, Philio frowned slightly and was about to use some means, but he only heard a soft sound and an afterimage came from a distance.

With a huge sense of crisis in his heart, Filio subconsciously raised his hand and reached for the imprint left by Chaomeng on his forehead, but he was still a step slower than the powerful enemy who suddenly attacked.

Just as he raised his hand to his forehead, a sharp thorn hit his lower back.

With almost no notice in advance, a large needle bee rushed out of the corner that was not unusual in the superpower detection with a speed beyond imagination and cognition, and appeared behind him in just a moment.

Even the Dream Demon and Sun Eevee, who stayed close to each other, had no time to react at all.

"Da da da……"

The leather shoes made a crisp sound when they stepped on the hard ground. The petite secretary trotted all the way, following the middle-aged man who was pacing steadily but making no sound. The huge "R" letter on his chest revealed the identity of the person in front of him.

Walking into the light from the darkness, there was a hint of morbid exhaustion in his brows and eyes, and his elegant gray and black custom-made suit could not hide his slightly thin figure that had been ravaged by illness.

But even so, he still couldn't hide his incomparable domineering and calm master demeanor.

Completely different temperaments are intertwined on the same body and blended together perfectly.

The person present here is none other than the most vicious criminal in the world and the preacher with a broad mind, Sakaki of the Earth.

And the person who followed him was naturally his secretary, a senior cadre of the Rockets, and the real bird.

Seeing Sakagi stop, the big needle bee who communicated with him also withdrew its spikes, restrained his legendary aura, and returned to his trainer with a speed that was hard to find with the naked eye.

Even though it had gone far away, the faint sense of crisis still made Philio thorn in his back, and he didn't dare to be careless at all.

Even though he was seriously ill, the man in front of him still had the strength to fight Giratina, the God of Dark Matter, for a moment, which was far beyond what he could resist at this moment.

Looking at Philio and the few Pokémon around him with admiration, Sakagi smiled, not caring about their hostility and guard: "Very vigilant, and it also looks old-fashioned when fighting. Defeating the real bird matrix so simply is a bit beyond my expectation, and Nazi really did not misunderstand you. Let them go back, real bird, I want to talk to this young man named Phileo."

"You guys, don't you think it's embarrassing? Hurry up! After you go back, you will double the amount of training!"

A few medicines pierced the arms of the four who fell to the ground with precision. Hearing Sakagi's praise for Filio, the little secretary blushed deeply in shame. , but did not dare to speak loudly, could only stare fiercely at the few people who left in a hurry, and stamped their feet secretly.

"And you, you go back too, I will go back to the stronghold by myself later."

Seeing that the real bird was still standing there, Sakagi added.

"Master Sakagi? Then your..."

Makoto's surprise was beyond words, but he hesitated to speak.

Waving his hand confidently, Sakaki's tone left no room for doubt: "It doesn't matter, go ahead. This minor illness is nothing to me."

"……Yes."

Not daring to disobey Sakagi's order and full of worries, the reluctant Shinto could only walk away step by step, disappearing into the darkness at the end of the alley without knowing where he was going.

Tacitly taking back all their Pokémon, the two stood opposite each other in the empty alley.

His hands were inserted into the pockets of his trousers, with only two thumbs exposed, resting on the edge of the pockets. The small details showed the side of his personality. No matter when, the man standing in front of Philio would not have the slightest trace of indifference. Retreat and weakness.

Seeing that Philio was silent, Sakagi spoke first: "According to Zhentiao's investigation, you are quite an eloquent person, why are you so silent? If you want to procrastinate and wait for the alliance's assistance, then there is no need. The signal just now was intercepted by me, we have a long time to have this conversation, if there is really that much to say."

As he spoke, he took out a small instrument from his pocket and threw it to Filio, as if to confirm what he just said.

"As expected of Boss Sakagi, he is really impeccable in what he does." Just by taking a look, he knew what the other party said was true. Philio was shocked, but on the surface he remained calm, "It seems... I can only accompany you Is it? I’m curious, my super powers are completely unaware of the existence of you and the big needle bee, maybe this is also your new technology?”

"On the surface, you are a person who does not rely on special abilities, but you are very proud of its existence in your heart. As long as it is a critical occasion, you will trust it unconditionally. This is your strength and weakness." In doubt, Sakagi was not impatient, but commented with great interest, "As long as it is an ability, there are loopholes, such as Tokiwa, Waveguide, and Chaoke. The tricks used in the Bird Matrix are not much different, it’s nothing. If you’re interested, I can tell you.”

"All ears."

Philio's eyes narrowed slightly, and his legs tensed slightly. The fact that he was seen through made him a little nervous.

"What is the essence of superpower? It is the embodiment of mental power, the most direct embodiment. Whether it is human beings or Pokémon, the spirit of all living creatures has limits and weaknesses. Therefore, superpowers are magical and powerful, but they are not Imperfect, there are always flaws that can be grasped, and the biggest flaws are often where you rely most on. Nazi's weakness is strength, and your weakness is sensitivity. Too much is never enough."

Not minding Philio's fear and defense, or in other words, he didn't care, Sakagi walked to the wall with great interest, and used the scattered stones on the ground as a pen to write and draw, and in a few words he revealed the flaws of Philio Where—vision has blind spots, and so does perception, and it’s not impossible to deceive.

It seems that when facing the younger generation he has seen too well, he will always not hesitate to spare his knowledge and insight, just like leaving behind the unscrupulous "Profound Truth of the Earth". Horror exists, but it has an extraordinarily broad mind and pattern, making it difficult to feel the same pure disgust as other villains.

Looking at the thoughtful Philio, he was not in a hurry, just stood upright under the street lamp, took out the handkerchief without showing any trace, and gently wiped the sweat that oozed from his forehead until he completely understood what he was doing. Filio, who had the loophole in his abilities, raised his head.

Under the light, his face looked a little pale, but his voice was still steady and strong: "I answered one of your questions, and now in return, you should answer one of mine, right? This is a fair trade."

"...Of course, I think this is also your reason for coming?" After pondering for a moment, Philio nodded in response, and the tension in his heart gradually subsided - just now, the wave that made him feel at ease has been transmitted from a distance Come.

"My question is very simple. Are you interested in going back to Kanto with me and becoming my subordinate?" The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and Sakagi, who was walking close to Philio, was defenseless, "When you and I were young It’s a bit like, from commanding to special abilities, and the fire in my heart, how about it, do you want to follow me, your talent is enough to support the future of the Rockets.”

The calm tone conveyed an extremely strong attraction. Looking at Sakagi's bottomless eyes, Filio, who had experienced it personally, gradually understood why the three Nazis were willing to follow him to make trouble in Kanto.

"Huh..." After a long time, Philio calmed down after a long sigh of relief. He responded to Sakagi's gaze without flickering or avoiding, and said in a deep voice, "This is not your real purpose, and neither are you now. It’s the old you again, isn’t it?”

"...Oh, I'm more and more interested in you, good eyesight." After a long, almost suffocating silence, the smile on the corner of Sakagi's mouth gradually swayed, and the depth in his eyes quietly turned into silence, "That's right , now I don't have that body and spirit for a long time. I just came here this time to see what kind of young man I admire the most. It really is worth seeing. This line."

"I can't afford such a special trip." Shaking his head with a smile, Filio raised his finger and pointed to the empty sky, "Your real purpose is to see if your son is doing well. "

"Oh? How did you know?"

After hearing something remarkable from Filio, Sakaki's eyes narrowed, full of scrutiny.

"My ability is not a decoration, I can see many things." Facing the majestic spirit mixed with the power of Changpan, Filio calmly said, "Although I can't see more, this is a normal person."

"Interesting, you really learn what you are learning now and put it into practice." Hearing the implication of Filio's words, Sakaki, who felt a little out of control, quickly gathered his strong momentum and showed the stern smile that could only be shown in front of everyone on Team Rocket, "Then Can you see my future? Or, the future of the Rockets."

He looks like a middle-aged man who is weak due to illness, but at this moment, Sakaki standing here is like an unshakable mountain.

[Sakagi of the Earth] is not an exaggerated expression, but a realistic description.

The determined eyes showed seriousness and solemnity. In front of the young man whom he met for the first time, Sakagi became completely serious for the first time.

The flow of air seemed to be stagnant at this moment.

"Compared with Vladali and his ilk, you, Boss Sakaki, can still be called the boss." In silence, Filio took a shallow breath, exhaled it quickly, and said pointedly, "But, too It’s just one thing at a time, one place, and time passes and people are different, so why bother with persistence?”

"Times have changed, and people are different..." The conversation was shallow but the words were unexpectedly deep, chewing on Philio's gift, Sakagi's expression fluctuated several times, and finally regained his calm and self-confidence as before, "The era of the Rockets has not yet It's over, because I'm still here, the storm will bring the dormancy, and the rainbow will follow."

"Got to go?"

"I heard what I wanted to hear, and I said what I wanted to say. There is no use in staying any longer."

"Walk slowly without sending."

"Chaomeng should be able to feel your existence and status at any time, you don't need to touch that mark."

When parting, Sakaki, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around and asked a confused question.

Philio smiled silently.

"Oh, sure enough... it's no wonder it recognizes you. We had a great chat today, and we will see you again, Philio, my promise is always valid, and the Rockets' door is always open to you."

Smiling and waving, a small piece of paper floated impartially into Filio's palm. After a closer look, there was only a line of numbers on it.

"If you have any questions or need help, you can use this number to find her. Of course, before you join us, business is business. But for today's sake, she will help you once."

Waving his hand gracefully, the leader of Team Rocket walked away without a trace, leaving only traces of his words echoing in the alley.

"... Huh, finally left."

It wasn't until it was confirmed that Sakagi had gone far away and completely left the scope of superpower detection that Filio, who was trying to be calm, let out a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall, even his feet were a little weak.

"Why don't you come out and give me a hand?"

[I'm panicking like this now, wasn't I quite calm back then? 】

Sneering voices sounded from the ears, a blue light flashed, and a tall figure appeared beside Filio. Although his mouth was not forgiving, his hands were unambiguous, holding him firmly.

【Why don't you let me keep him? 】

"Are you sure you can keep him? I don't think so..." He poked Chaomeng's cheek angrily, and in his disgusted eyes, Philio looked in the direction where Sakagi disappeared, "The beast in the wound sometimes It's more terrifying than the state of health, the big needle bee is difficult to deal with, and Sakagi is even more difficult to deal with. And...our interests do not conflict."

[Why, are you tempted by his proposal? 】

"That's not true, but he is considered a rare big man, and he should be respected. He didn't intend to hurt me, so I don't need to do meaningless things. Let's go, don't talk about things that affect your mood, please come and run for a while Going to the rivers and lakes for emergency, I will cook for you tonight?"

【...Hmph, you will change the subject too. 】

[I saw a lot of fried food in Hezhong. It tasted good. I made it for dinner. 】

"Eating too much fried food can easily gain weight... Hey, wait a minute, you all went to Hezhong? It's so fast, Carlos can't fit you in such a big place? Or, do you really go to investigate? That strange organization?"

[Worry!Just go and see the scenery. 】

"Okay, I'll just trust you... you're not injured, are you? Those people don't look simple."

[Of course not...you deceived me? 】

"Who told you to be so naive? You don't need to use your brains to tell you... Hey, stop, stop! Why are you talking so hard? If you continue to behave like this, I won't care about your food at night, and let you sleep on the street and drink dew. Little dream monster Little Ibrahimovic, won't you come to help?"

"Machi? Machi~"

"Buyi? Buyi..."

"You guys are so disrespectful, you still have to look at me...you steal my snacks again?!"

"Elu~!"

[...It's really good, where to buy it, prepare some for me. 】

"It's you again. If you do this again, I will charge you for food in the future."

[Stingy, don't buy it if you don't buy it. 】

"Why are you still complaining? Forget it. I'll line up for you tomorrow morning. It's really hard work... How about you play a game for me tomorrow and forget it, and count it as food expenses?"

【? 】

"Just kidding...they don't even get enough chances to play by themselves, how can you have a share?"

【…】

The invisible super energy barrier blocked the line of sight from the outside, and the wonderful combination of slapstick leisurely walked in the opposite direction. Before long, you could see the roof of the hotel.

The quiet alley returned to calm, and the remnants of the previous battle were only slightly cracked walls and a few completely painted marks.

-

Fillio, who returned safely to the hotel, seemed to be alright, and enthusiastically prepared dinner for his big family, Corny, and Nazi. At the same time, somewhere in the city, a small wave appeared again. .

Sakagi walked alone to the secret base of the Rockets in the outskirts of the city, and met the boy who made him want to meet but was afraid of talking face-to-face in an empty alley.

At the entrance of the alley, Xiao Yin, who had been following him all this way, stood in front of Sakaki with an indifferent expression.

As a thief, under the influence of A'Du, he became more and more jealous. Even if he recognized Sakagi as his father in the raging fire, he still couldn't accept what he and the Rockets did.

Using the hiding and tracking skills that he has honed since he was a child, he followed the Rockets who were hiding in the crowd around the corners, hiding deeper than Sakagi and Shinto.

Without realizing it, he heard the entire conversation between Sakaki and Filio. He breathed a sigh of relief at Filio's answer, and looked at his father with a more complicated look.

Under close observation, he is very clear that the serious illness that plagued Sakagi has not completely subsided, but continues to torture this powerful trainer who once stood on the ground and could not be defeated.

The crooked wrinkles made him look noticeably older than he was years ago.

The sickly paleness was wearing down the physique of this strong man in his prime.

Even Sakagi of the earth is still a mortal body after all.

The concern in his eyes disappeared in a flash, and Xiaoyin's extreme vigilance towards the Rockets made him harden his heart, and he spoke in a cold voice.

Under the cold moonlight, there were no bystanders, and no one knew what they were talking about.

It's just that I can be sure that the communication between father and son is not cordial in any way, but rather tense.

But when the two of them left each other rather unhappy, their faces were a little more relaxed at the same time, and even Sakagi seemed a little relieved and satisfied, and even the wrinkles on his face faded away.

As for Xiaoyin, before he had walked two streets, he saw a figure with a pretty face that made him shudder.

"...!"

Only then did he realize that he forgot to say hello to Xiaolan during his follow-up.

The aggressive Xiao Lan took off all her disguises and strode towards Xiao Yin, who was already frightened and stood motionless in place.

Then, she hugged him into her arms while he was waiting for the storm in despair.

His breathing, which had become heavy due to nervousness and anxiety, was filled with misty moisture, reaching Xiao Yin's face, making his heartbeat seem to slow down by half a beat at this moment.

Seeing the tenderness and concern shown on the usually arrogant or lively pretty face at this moment, he felt that his ability to speak and move was completely sealed.

After being silent for a long time, he raised his arms stiffly and embraced the girl in front of him after his face was extremely hot.
