Elf: Creating the Strongest Champion in History

"This is the Pokémon you deposited at the Pokémon Center."

Taking three Poké Balls from Miss Joy who had a professional smile, Daigo first took the Pokémon to have lunch.

In return, I told Baicai how thrilling this gym battle was.

In Chenghua City, I have a second purpose...

Daigo arrives at the police branch in Chenghua City.

"Ms. Junsha!" Daigo found Junsha who was having lunch during break in the police station.

"What can I do for you?" Junsha put down the lunch box in her hand and looked serious.

"I want to find someone named Alang, can you help me?"

Junsha placed her hands on the table and clasped them together, saying, "Reasons."

"This man named Alang is the previous owner of this Pokémon. I want to know his whereabouts." Daigo took out Scyther's Poké Ball and released it.

Scyther nodded at Junsha.

Junsha thought for a while, nodded and stood up: "Come with me."

"Thank you very much!"

Junsha took Daigo to a computer and typed in the name "Alang".

"Does he live in Chenghua City?" Junsha's hands kept typing on the keyboard while she kept asking for information.

"Well, I heard that he moved to Chenghua City a few years ago."

"Can you see if this is the person?" Junsha tilted the computer, revealing a smiling and cheerful young man.

"Cha!" Scyther's pupils suddenly shrank and he said hurriedly.

"It looks like this is the person." Daigo knew it was this person after seeing Scyther's reaction.

"He lives in ..."

The Scyther in the Poké Ball was a little dazed. The thing that had trapped it for several years in the past was about to be revealed today.

Daigo checked the house number of this household to make sure he didn't make any mistakes.

"I'm going to press it, Scyther."

Scyther's Poké Ball shook slightly, and it seemed that it was mentally prepared.

Daigo rang the doorbell.

Ding-dong-

The echoing doorbell sound was unbearable.

Click...

The door in front was opened by a woman with half-white hair.

"Eh? You are..."

"Hello, is this Alang's home?" Daigo smiled and asked politely.

The woman was startled and stunned for a long time.

"Hello?"

"Ah! Yes... Are you Alang's friend?" The woman came to her senses and looked apologetic.

"I'm not, but this guy is." Daigo lightly touched the button of the Poké Ball on his waist, and Scyther appeared in front of the woman accompanied by white light.

Daigo was suddenly stunned, then he smiled faintly.

This time, the Scyther appeared with tears in its eyes.

This guy knew the woman in front of him. That meant he was in the right place.

I didn’t expect Alang’s home to be so close to Scyther.

By the way, since Alang’s home has always been in Chenghua City, why doesn’t Scyther know where Alang lives?

"You are... that Scyther?" Tears welled up in the woman's eyes and she covered her mouth in disbelief.

"just……"

"It wants to see Alang again! To know why it was abandoned." Daigo explained to the woman.

The woman's clenched fists trembled slightly, and she raised her shaking hands to open the door completely.

Daigo's eyes were drawn to a photo on the stage.

The person in the photo was the cheerful boy that he had seen on the police station’s computer before.

But, that photo was in black and white.

This means that Alang has already...

"I'm really sorry, Scyther." The woman suddenly smiled dismally and apologized to Scyther.

Sly Mantis, who had not yet recovered from the news of Alang's death, turned his head blankly and looked at the woman in confusion.

"Alang's health has always been poor, and it only got better when he met you." The woman explained slowly.

"I thought Alang's health would gradually improve, but I never thought that one day, his condition would suddenly worsen."

"Alang likes you very much. He concealed his illness from you and wanted to travel with you...so after we moved, he chose to put you in the Orange Forest, waiting for someone who could fulfill his promise to you."

Daigo suddenly realized that Alang had "abandoned" Scyther in the Orange Forest before he even settled down after moving in.

"I am truly sorry for your selfish behavior, Alang!" The woman bowed to Scyther.

Alang's behavior was very selfish to Scyther. He concealed his illness and did not let Scyther be by his side when he was about to die.

But it is undeniable that Alang's love for Scyther comes from the heart.

……

On the outskirts of the Orange Forest, Daigo sat on a cliff, not far away was the beach where he and his Armored Birds watched the sunset.

Scyther stood behind Daigo, a plate of donuts at his feet.

The man and the Pokémon stared at the sunset in the distance without saying a word.

Scyther also understood the truth.

"just……"

Really, how could you be so selfish?

Even if you hide it from me, I don't mean to blame you at all...

Before his death, Alang said that he wanted to be freer and travel around the world.

So his ashes were scattered on the sea at sunset, and went to wherever he wanted to go with the sea breeze.

When the sun sets completely, the last bit of it is swallowed up by the night.

Scyther broke the silence between him and Daigo.

"just."

Daigo turned around and looked into Scyther's determined gaze.

bang bang bang-

Metagross, Armored Bird, Kotara and Pogamon appeared behind Scyther.

Now, it has new friends, too.

Unlike in the Orange Forest, they are both comrades-in-arms and family members.

"Bojia..."

Although we haven't known each other for long, and you're also very fierce, not as good as the relationship between me and my best friend, but...

Metagross pinched Pogamon's round face to stop him from continuing.

"Cha." Scyther smiled with relief and nodded at Daigo.

Daigo nodded at this, with some speculation in mind, but still looked towards Metagross.

Seeing that Metagross also nodded to him, Daigo took out a box of metal film from his bag.

This is not what's left over by Armorbird and the others, but what Daigo has been preparing for Scyther.

It's even higher quality than what the armored birds eat, truly high-end stuff.

I have said before that if Scyther knew the truth, he would still be willing to follow Daigo.

Then evolve and become a brand new self, free from the past.

At this moment, Scyther has made up his mind.

Daigo pulled out a metal film and wrapped it around Scyther's body in circles.

Until the metal film in his hand was completely consumed, Scyther's body began to emit a dazzling white light in the dark.

The white light slowly dissipated in the darkness, and the originally green body of the Sly Mantis turned into crimson armor. There were two pairs of translucent wings on its back. Unlike the previous wings, they appeared slightly smaller and "butterfly-shaped".

The two sickle hands also grew into huge red pincers with patterns on them that looked like eyes.

"Welcome to officially join, Mantis." Daigo smiled slightly and extended his hand to Mantis.

The giant mantis smiled slowly, raised its giant claws and lightly touched Daigo's palm.

"Haha!"

I want to see the best scenery on behalf of Alang!

"Boga?!" Pogaman was shocked.

Officially joined the team? Does this mean... my status has been raised one level?!

As soon as these words came out, the three Pokémon looked at Pogamon in shock.

The giant mantis turned its head and looked coldly at the arrogant Pogamon.

Give a calm response.

In this team, strength is everything!

"Boga?!"

Then I am still at the bottom?!
