I just want to give the elves a home. What's wrong with that?

"Try it, this fruit is delicious."

Li Ran took a bite of the yellow fruit he had just picked from the tree. The delicious taste instantly conquered his taste buds. He quickly picked two more and handed them to Kirlia and Mibrim.

“How strange!”

"babble!"

The two elves held the fruit and took a bite at the same time. The sweet taste immediately whetted their appetites.

"Kaka."

Suddenly, countless bubbles shot out from the grass. Fortunately, Lulian reacted quickly. He grabbed Li Ran and Miblim and used instant movement to avoid the attack.

"who is it?"

Li Ran looked in that direction in horror. Where he was just now, a big tree was directly broken into two parts by the foam light.

"Very good reaction. We want your elf."

Two figures walked out from the bushes, one fat and one thin. Both were wearing blue and black short-sleeved shirts and turbans on their heads, looking a bit like the pirate costumes in the movies Li Ran had seen before.

“How strange!”

Kirlia naturally understood what they said. She stood angrily in front of Li Ran and Mibrim, with her hands outstretched as if protecting her child.

There were two elves following behind the two men, and Li Ran recognized them.

"They are the Iron Claw Lobster and the Octopus Bucket... and their strength is both at the Elite Level 3."

"Don't you know that it is clearly stipulated that trainers are not allowed to command Pokémon to attack people?"

Li Ran's face darkened. At this moment, he could sense that the two people in front of him had bad intentions.

"There is no point in saying more. I advise you to be sensible and hand over the two elves and the backpack behind you to us. You can still save your life. The one on the beach just now was your partner, right? He disobeyed us and has..."

The thinner pirate pulled out a scimitar from his back and tried to cut Li Ran's throat, as if he didn't care about the elves' laws at all.

Seeing the two coming at him aggressively, Li Ran did not show any panic. After all, the strength of the two elves could be dealt with by Kirlia alone.

But he had never heard Huang Leijun talk about pirates before coming, which meant that these two people were most likely acting in secret. Li Ran continued speaking after thinking about it.

"Haha, you are just a little-known pirate like you."

"Shut up, our Fire Hunter Pirates will definitely be resurrected!"

The fat pirate's face suddenly turned red, and he pointed the scimitar in his hand at Li Ran and shouted.

"Don't waste your time talking to him. The lobster is using its bubble beam!"

Countless bubbles shot towards Li Ran, leaving him no chance to speak.

"Kirulian uses Illusion Ray!"

Li Ran picked up Miblim and ignored its resistance. With its rookie-level strength, it couldn't be of much help.

"Next, use Shadow Clone."

When the foam light and the illusion light came into contact, there was a huge explosion. Hai Bodong, who was far away on the beach, slowly looked into the distance with an indifferent look in his eyes.

......

"Kirulian, give me those vines over there. I need to ask them something."

Li Ran held the vine in his hand and slowly wrapped it around the two pirates.

At this moment, the expressions of the two were completely different from before, and their eyes were filled with fear.

Circle Bear was looking at them with eyes even more ferocious than theirs, and licking his sharp claws from time to time.

"Tell me, how did you know I was here?"

Li Ran doesn't believe in such illusory things as coincidences.

The two looked at each other and kept silent, totally ignoring Li Ran's threat. This time they were in trouble. Who could have thought that this kid actually had a lord-level elf, and that little guy who looked only at elite level could burst out with the strength of a lord-level.

"Great! Mr. Li, I'm glad you're okay!"

Just when Li Ran was about to question him further, Hai Baidong came out of the woods, his hair messy and full of twigs, and he spoke in a panic.

He glanced at the two people on the ground, and they immediately lowered their heads and dared not look at him.

"Guide Hai, are you okay?"

There was confusion in Li Ran's eyes. Just now, these two men said very firmly that they had gotten rid of their companions, so why did Hai Baidong appear again at this moment?

"Yes, I met them. I jumped into the sea in panic and escaped with my swimming ability."

Hai Baidong glared at the two of them obscurely, then patted his chest as if he had survived a disaster.

"Really?"

Li Ran looked at the two pirates with some disbelief. In terms of water ability, these two self-proclaimed pirates should not be weaker than Hai Bodong.

At this moment, Hai Baidong looked at Circle Bear with a hint of greed in his eyes, but following Li Ran's gaze, he quickly hid his emotions.

However, he overlooked one point. The MiBlim in Li Ran's backpack had the ability to sense the emotions of living creatures.

"Eee! Eee!"

Miblim, who was inside the backpack, suddenly became excited and grabbed a small tuft of Li Ran's hair with her sideburns.

"What's wrong, Miblimu, are you hungry?"

Li Ran turned his head in some confusion and saw that its temples kept pointing in the direction of Haibaidong.

"Sea guide? What happened to him?"

"babble!!"

Seeing that Miblim had exposed him, Haibaidong simply stopped pretending. His expression gradually changed from a smile to a gloomy one, and his right hand reached behind his back.

"go to hell!!"

He was less than one meter away from Li Ran. In this situation, there was almost no possibility for Li Ran to dodge the sneak attack!

Li Ran felt his heart sink as he watched the scimitar grow bigger and bigger in his eyes.

"babble!!"

Miblim's eyes shone brightly, and she used almost all her strength to release her telekinesis.

Haibaidong's scimitar was stopped for half a second, and this half a second was enough for Kirlia to react and released powerful telekinesis towards Haibaidong.

“How strange!”

Kirlia couldn't help but feel angry, and with a roar, Haibaidong was thrown away by telekinesis, and his back came into close contact with the tree trunk. The scimitar sank directly into his thigh.

Suddenly, bright red liquid and the man's groan of pain appeared at the same time.

“Odd!!”

Seeing that Kirlia was about to lift Haibaidong up again and throw him into the sky, Li Ran quickly interrupted it.

"Kirulian calm down!!"

He also didn't expect that Kirlia would become so out of control because he was almost attacked.

With Li Ran's comfort, Kirlia's scarlet eyes became clear, and Haibaidong in the air fell directly to the ground.

"help me!"

Hai Baidong cried for help in panic.
