Elves in the World: Reject Arceus at the Beginning

Downtown Yunbo City.

In a bustling and noisy city, a magnificent, solemn and dignified building stands tall in the center. This building is the famous Poison Gym in Yun Province.

At this moment, the Poison-type gym leader, Zhu Wen, was standing in the gym. He was well-known as the Poison-type gym leader and attracted much attention.

The Poison-type gym is particularly lively today, for no other reason than Zhu Wen has set a rule: every Sunday, all battles will be in a one-on-one format.

This rule is undoubtedly a huge blessing for trainers who lack the resources and conditions to cultivate multiple Pokémon.

However, since only one elf can be sent into battle, the intensity of this battle is bound to be even greater.

Therefore, many people come to the gym not to participate in the battle themselves, but to watch and learn, so as to gain experience and be fully prepared to challenge the gym in the future.

Today's first battle was started by an innocent and lovely little girl.

The Pokémon she possesses is Butterfree, which evolved from the caterpillar she received from Rainbow Dash's laboratory.

In contrast, it is Zhu Wen’s latest elf, the Devourer, which evolved from the Dissolver.

"Both parties please get ready. This battle mode is a one-on-one duel. Each Pokémon can only use four skills. Both parties must persist until one of the Pokémon loses its combat ability or voluntarily admits defeat." The gym referee read out the rules of the game loudly.

"Now, the battle officially begins!"

Following the referee's order, the little girl quickly gave the command: "Butterfield, use Fantasy Ray!"

Her voice was clear and firm, as if she had full confidence in her elf.

Before he finished his words, Butterfree flapped its wings, releasing a colorful light, as beautiful as a rainbow, and shot straight towards Devourer.

"Swallow it, devour it."

At the same time, Zhu Wen also issued an order without giving in.

The mouth of the devouring beast opened to the extreme in an instant, and a powerful suction force was generated, sucking the gorgeous fantasy light into it.

The Devouring Beast's body swelled slightly, apparently digesting the energy.

After a moment, it regained its composure and seemed not to be greatly affected.

"How powerful..." the little girl exclaimed. She originally thought that the fantasy light could cause great damage to the opponent, but she didn't expect that the opponent could resolve this trick so easily.

"Butterfield Butterfree, Air Blade."

The little girl decided to change tactics and gave instructions again.

Butterfree flapped its wings quickly, and three sharp wind blades rushed towards the Devourer. Wherever the wind blades passed, the air was torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound.

"Eating beast, sludge attack."

However, Zhu Wen did not let the devouring beast dodge, but chose to face it head-on.

The Devourer opened its huge mouth and a ball of thick, foul-smelling sludge spewed out of its mouth, flying towards Butterfree at an astonishing speed.

The wind blade and the mud met in the air, making a dull sound.

Although the wind blade is powerful, it seems to be powerless against the corrosive and sticky sludge sprayed by the devouring beast.

After coming into contact with the sludge, the wind blades were quickly corroded and dissipated.

The sludge sprayed by the Devourer continued to fly forward. Although its volume had decreased, it was still highly toxic and headed straight for Butterfree.

"Butterfree, dodge upwards and use the hypnotic powder." The girl gave instructions quickly.

Butterfree flapped its wings and flew up into the sky, easily avoiding the sludge attack of the Devourer. Then, it circled in the air and sprinkled a piece of hypnotic powder.

"Devouring beast, use acid bombs to cover yourself." Zhu Wen was not to be outdone and immediately gave the order.

The Devourer opened its mouth and detonated an acid bubble above its head, allowing the acid to fall evenly on its body, forming a thin protective film.

This layer of acid successfully resisted Butterfree's hypnotic powder, rendering it ineffective.

"Take advantage of this moment, Butterfree, use the Illusion Beam." The girl keenly noticed the weakness of Devourermon that he couldn't speak at the moment, and gave the order decisively.

Butterfree immediately launched an illusion beam, and this attack was not hindered at all and hit the Devourer directly.

Due to the conflicting attributes, this attack caused huge damage to the Devouring Beast.

"Devouring beast, garbage shooting." Zhu Wen realized that the situation was not good and reacted quickly.

The Devourer opened its mouth wide and spit out clumps of garbage, launching a fierce attack on Butterfree and the girl.

"Butterfield, it's windy, now's the time to blow the hypnotic powder in." The girl responded cleverly.

Butterfree flapped its wings, creating a breeze that dispersed the hypnotic powder in the air, and then cleverly used the wind direction to blow the hypnotic powder into the mouth of the Devourer.

The Devouring Beast was still opening its mouth wide to spray out garbage, and all the hypnotic powder around it was blown into its mouth by the wind.

Although the garbage shot successfully hit Butterfree, Gnat had already ingested the sleeping powder and fell asleep, losing its ability to fight.

"The Devouring Beast loses its ability to fight, and the challenger wins!"

Following the referee's shout, both of them put away their elves.

"Congratulations on your victory. This is a poison badge. It can slightly increase the special defense of the Pokémon you carry. Register it with your Pokémon Encyclopedia."

Zhu Wen handed over a badge with a poison attribute symbol engraved on it with a smile.

"Thank you, Gym Master Zhu Wen."

The little girl took the badge and thanked Zhu Wen with a sweet smile.

"The next match will start in half an hour, please take a break."

The referee announced loudly.

Zhu Wen turned around and walked back to the backstage, but he didn't expect that an acquaintance was waiting for him there.

"Old Wang, how come you have time to come to Yunbao City?" Zhu Wen looked at the unexpected guest with a smile on his face.

"Haha, I have something to talk to you about." The person who came was Lao Wang from the Dream Chasing Team - Wang Mu.

"Oh? What can happen to you?" Zhu Wen raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion.

"I'm not as busy as you. I came here to tell you something." Wang Mu said in a low voice.

"Oh, what's the matter that requires you to come here in person? Why don't you just call me directly?" Zhu Wen was a little puzzled.

"This matter cannot be explained over the phone. Besides, we haven't seen each other for so long, don't you miss us?" Wang Mu asked with a smile.

"No, I'm afraid it will delay your gym competition! What if someone challenges you as soon as you leave?" Zhu Wen explained quickly.

"Then there's nothing we can do. We can only let them wait for a day or two. Anyway, my place is always full every day. Unlike you, you're not tired of doing a one-on-one battle." Wang Mu shook his head helplessly.
