Chapter 424 The Evil Spirit is Coming
"It's finally over for now."
After discussing with Deng Tianxing, Lin Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the villa alone.
"Wow, so cute, what kind of elf is this?"
"It seems to be called Erguiyan. It is listed in the Alliance Atlas, but there is only a name and attributes, nothing else..."
As soon as he entered the room, a slightly noisy sound reached Lin Shi's ears, which made Lin Shi stunned.
"Ergui?"
Lin Shi looked over immediately and saw Erguiyan sitting obediently on the sofa in the villa's living room. It had taken off its ferocious mask, revealing its orange little face.
"What do you want to eat? How about this energy cube?"
"There's also special grass-type Pokémon food from Honey Snake. I secretly took some. Would you like to try it?"
Su Qimeng, Meng Wan and Li Taoyao surrounded Erguiyan and piled a pile of food on the table in front of them.
Erguiyan blinked and looked a little helpless. When it saw Lin Shi, its eyes lit up and it jumped up on the sofa as if it had seen a savior.
"Hey! Why are you going?"
Ergui's sudden action surprised Su Qimeng and the other two. At this moment, they noticed Lin Shi who had walked forward, and Ergui was hiding behind him.
"Lin Shi, Lin Shi, is this Eruption your Pokémon? It looks so cute. Where did you capture it?"
Meng Wan asked expectantly with stars in her eyes.
Although the Alliance knew about Ergui's legendary identity, they chose to keep it secret. This was also for Ergui's good, so as to prevent anyone from having any ill intentions.
Lin Shi shook his head.
"No, this is my guest. Don't scare him."
Then Lin Shi turned his head and looked at Ergui Yan, smiling.
"Welcome, Erguiyan."
……
"Hahaha……"
In the training ground, several elves were training, and Lin Shi was sitting at a table nearby, writing furiously.
Looking up at Eruption who was helping Windy Dog condense the fire, Lin Shi smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
Having him as a trainer is like a tiger with wings for Windy. In just a few days after returning, Windy has already found a way to obtain three legendary fires.
They are the [Volcanic Fire] from Emperor Yan, the [Fire of Jealousy] from the Ancient Jade Fish, and the [Fire of Thorns] from Ergui Luo that is now condensing.
Although after obtaining the fire, Windy Dog needs to be cultivated for a period of time before it can be used in battle, this step is nothing compared to the difficulty of obtaining the fire.
Lin Shi is looking forward to seeing what changes these three new flames will bring to Windy Dog.
"Eye."
Just as Lin Shi was lost in thought, the Eternal Flower flew to Lin Shi's shoulder with a flower in its hand, and gently combed the messy hair on his forehead with the flower in his hand.
Lin Shi came back to his senses, looked at the small everlasting flower, smiled gently, and touched its head with his fingers.
"Yi?"
The Eternal Flower closed its eyes and enjoyed Lin Shi's touch, then opened its eyes slightly and looked down.
"Oh this one?"
Lin Shi straightened the white paper in his hand, on which was the information of several of Lin Shi's elves.
"I am planning to hold a battle within the team recently to check everyone's strength."
Lin Shi said it truthfully, feeling a little embarrassed. Although Lin Shi was a trainer of the elves, he still didn't fully understand the elves' limits.
Although the battle between Arcanine and Entei gave Lin Shi a slight understanding, Entei was too good at pretending in the end, and Lin Shi could not detect whether Arcanine had any influence on Entei.
The same is true for other elves.
Gyarados has never had all three emotional powers explode at the same time, and Orochi has never fought a battle with all his strength until he was exhausted. The same goes for Ursarlan, Aegisblade, and Gigantic.
This is one of the most important reasons why Lin Shi attaches so much importance to the upcoming national league.
The competition field filled with experts is the time to test the strength of his elves and let them shine!
So before that, he had to roughly figure out the strength of his elves. On the one hand, he wanted to have a general idea in his mind, and on the other hand, he also wanted to use this to motivate his elves.
Only healthy competition plus an appropriate reward system can make the team go further!
But what is troubling him now is the battle choice of the elves. He plans to use a two-on-two battle method to conduct an elimination match.
There are nine elves in total. The Eternal Flower does not participate in the battle due to special circumstances. The remaining eight are divided into groups. Lin Shi needs to choose a suitable opponent for each of the remaining elves, which gives him a headache.
"Huh... Never mind. There's no rush anyway."
Lin Shi scratched his head and muttered to himself.
He didn't plan to hold a battle within the team right away. He would purchase a batch of skill machines after a while and complete the gym challenge at the same time. It would not be a good time to engage in internal conflicts now.
"Yeah."
Erguiyan walked over staggeringly, still wearing the stove mask on his face. It was obvious that he treasured this mask very much.
Getting Windy to condense the fire went more smoothly than Lin Shi had imagined. Using its unique fire-starting properties, Windy was able to condense the fire quite quickly using Eruption's fire stove mask.
Unlike the situation of Yan Emperor at that time, Yan Emperor forcibly compressed his own flame. It was not a real fire, and still needed to be absorbed and refined by Wind Speed Dog himself.
During this period, Wind Speed Dog's main job was to condense these two fires, and Lin Shi put the fire of the Ancient Jade Fish for last. After all, he understood the principle of biting off more than he can chew.
"Come here, Ergui, this is your dinner. Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Shi gave the food that he had prepared long ago to Erguiyan.
Lin Shi learned some things about Erguiyan from Wei Qixing. Erguiyan was a legend that the Alliance contacted by chance, and they reached a deal with Erguiyan on the condition of helping it find a mask.
The Green Grass Mask in Ergui's hand was found by the Alliance, but unfortunately, the search for other masks has been slow over such a long period of time.
It is conceivable that the places where these masks are hidden are most likely places like the ruins of the desert kingdom that have not yet appeared in the public eye.
"Woooo..."
While eating, Eruption put the mask on his head and enjoyed the food with shining eyes.
According to Wei Qixing, although Uruk-O has reached a contract with the Alliance, it is still a wild Pokémon in essence and does not show any friendliness towards anyone, even though the Alliance has been deliberately approaching it to please it.
Lin Shi also knew that if he had not accidentally obtained the Fire Stove Mask and voluntarily handed it over to Erguiyan, Erguiyan would never have let down his guard and shown favor to him.
Likewise, the Alliance also approved of Lin Shi's communication with Eruption. After all, if this legendary Pokémon could really be captured, it would be better to have it in Lin Shi's hands than to let it wander freely.
But this is very difficult. At least before the remaining two masks are found, it is probably impossible.
Thinking of this, Lin Shi smiled gently.
"Eat slowly, there's plenty..."
