Pokémon: The Bold Rat

"Hmm~"

"Am I dead?"

Feeling his face wet, Zhao Yiyuan struggled to open his eyes, and then saw the surprised eyes of Rattata and Sandshrew.

"Kuga!"

"Pulada?w?!"

Yiyuan, wake up, wake up, Shu Shu will know that blood memory will not lie!

"So, my face is covered with your saliva, and you want to heal my wounds?"

After understanding, the boy smiled bitterly and washed his face by the water.

During this time, I also asked about the situation of little Rada.

"Purada~Rada~ヽ（?＿?；)ノ"

Rattata said, gesturing with her paws.

Thanks to the increasingly deep tacit understanding between the two sides, I roughly understood the meaning.

"You mean, we fell from above and landed in the water, and a faint flame shield protected us?"

"Pulada! Pulada!"

In response, little Rada nodded repeatedly.

The sandshrew, who couldn't get a word in, quickly got down on all fours, stretched his face as wide as possible, and tried his best to look majestic in his eyes.

"Kuja! Ugh!"

Unfortunately, it could not make the intimidating roar of Emperor Yan.

But the boy also understood.

"It was Emperor Yan who saved us."

Zhao Yiyuan took out the Q-version doll on his chest, which had become much duller, and his heart was filled with emotion.

If he hadn't had the foresight to pick up so much hair, even if he hadn't been killed by the explosion before, he would have been picked up by the elves in the water.

"Yan Di is such a good beast. Next time we meet, I must pluck him more... Oh no, I must give him more massages."

"Ah!"

At this moment, the big mastiff lion far away on the underground floor of the Burnt Tower sneezed.

"That kid seems to be fine~ Fortunately, it's okay."

When it sensed that its blessing doll was not automatically activated, it knew that Zhao Yiyuan was fine.

However, although his life was not in danger, the impact of the explosion and the collision in the undercurrent still caused some internal injuries to his body.

Fortunately, there were medicines for treating internal injuries in his backpack. Thanks to the high-tech products of the elf world, after taking a few tablets of internal injury medicine, Zhao Yiyuan clearly felt his health improving.

However, if you want to exercise without hindrance, you may have to wait one to two hours.

During this period, Rattata and Sandshrew stayed by the boy's side loyally.

Time passed slowly, and just when he thought he would just lie there quietly and recover, the waterway next door suddenly began to bubble up with a gurgling sound.

"Alert! Rattata, Sandshrew!"

In fact, he didn't need to remind them. The Sandshrew and Rada, who had heard the noise a long time ago, immediately looked towards the bubbling water with vigilance.

"Ah Dong!"

Then an elf with a pink body, eyes full of wisdom and a large snail in its tail appeared in front of them.

"Stupid hippo!"

Seeing this wise eye that seemed to see through everything, Zhao Yiyuan exclaimed in surprise.

【Elf】:Silly Hippo

[Level]: LV39

[Moves]: Mastery: Telekinesis

Skilled: Water gun, immobilization, shouting...

Getting Started: Curse, Impact...

Moreover, this stupid hippopotamus is as high as level 39, which is not weak among high-level elves, and his proficient moves are telekinesis.

"Ah Dong~"

Human, it seems you know me, then it will be easy for us to communicate~

Just as the young man was shocked, a slightly old voice sounded in his heart.

“Heart burns!”

"Pulada! (=?Д?=)"

"Kuja! (?皿?)"

Rattata and Sandshrew, who also heard the sound, were also shocked.

They have only seen this strange ability in Emperor Yan.

"As expected of a human chosen by Lord Yandi, you are indeed well-informed."

I saw the silly hippopotamus outside with eyes shining with deep blue light, and nodded his big head, as if to say I am optimistic about you.

"You know Lord Yandi? So he's definitely not an enemy?"

With a sigh of relief, the boy started to communicate normally with the stupid hippo.

"nature!"

"Although it has a great impact on us elves, we have superpowers, but unlike ordinary elves, we have much stronger control over our consciousness!"

"it?"

"Yes, that's it!"

As he spoke, the silly hippopotamus raised his pink paw and pointed to the sky.

This made Zhao Yiyuan understand that what the stupid hippopotamus was talking about was world consciousness.

“Although we elves were created by the world and are willing to help our mother, it does not mean that we are willing to lose ourselves and become tools.

Therefore, not all elves want to fight and kill you.

I believe that you, who have been recognized by Emperor Yan, should be able to understand this.”

"Ah."

Nodding, Zhao Yiyuan stopped beating around the bush and asked directly:

"Then stupid hippo, why did you come to see me?"

In response to this, the silly hippo immediately looked at the boy's chest with eyes full of wisdom, where the Q version of the Yan Emperor doll was emitting a faint glow again.

"Of course I will take you to the third level of the underwater cave to meet the envoy of God."

"Lord Phoenix and Lord Lugia are both peace-loving, happiness-spreading divine beasts. Since you are recognized by Emperor Yan, you can naturally be received by the divine messenger."

Hearing the word "God's Messenger", Yin Zhiping's face changed slightly, and he realized that it should be one of the three sacred birds. It was normal to think about it, since the Phoenix went, how could Lugia not go?

"I wonder which divine messenger it is?"

In response to this question, the stupid hippopotamus looked at Zhao Yiyuan as if he were an idiot.

"Of course it's Lord Articuno. Otherwise, do you think that Lord Moltres or Lord Zapdos would like to live in an environment filled with seawater?"

"Haha, that's right, that's right."

After laughing, Zhao Yiyuan wanted to get up, but as soon as he moved, he felt pain in his chest.

"Pulada!"

Anxious, little Rada immediately pulled the boy back and let him continue lying down.

This scene made the silly hippo speechless.

"Ah Dong~"

You humans are so fragile. You've been lying down for almost an hour with just a minor injury. →_→

As it spoke, pink energy emerged from its hands, and with a "swish", it directly hit Zhao Yiyuan.

"Humph~"

He couldn't help but groan.

This caused the sandrat to misunderstand instantly.

"Kuja! (; 'O?)o"

What did you do to Rat's trainer? I, I'm going to kill you!

Shouting, the mole showed his claws and was ready to fight the stupid hippopotamus.

However, just as he made a move, he was controlled in place by powerful telekinesis.

"You must be a sandrat, I have never seen anyone like you.

A mutant individual?"

After talking to himself for a few sentences, the silly hippopotamus explained:

"That's a healing wave. It can help your trainer recover. Good hippos are not rewarded~"

As he said that, the silly hippopotamus spread his hands (▔, ▔)ㄏ with a sad expression.

"That's right, Sandshrew. The dumb hippopotamus was treating me just now."

Just at this moment, Zhao Yiyuan, who had already woken up from the warm feeling, also helped to explain.

Having said that, Zhao Yiyuan stood up by himself.

The healing moves were indeed magical. In his opinion, they had some kind of rule-like meaning. No matter whether it was internal or external injuries, as long as they were not very serious, they could be fully recovered just like adding blood.

This is also the reason why Pokémon with healing moves are comparable to Dragon and Psychic-type Pokémon in price.

"Kuja~Kuja~"

The sandshrew also realized that he had misunderstood and immediately bowed to the stupid hippo.

"Ah Dong~"

Shaking his head to indicate that they didn't need to worry, the silly hippo motioned for them to follow.

He walked in front, carrying a big snail on his back.

"Hey Cha~"

"Buzz~"

"Yobo! Yobo!"

……

Along the way, they met many elves, including Rumble Rock, Gulp, as well as the Sea Dragon and Agate Jellyfish in the water.

It is really like what Teacher Leng said, on the second level, intermediate elves are quite common.

[Elf]: Sea Thorn Dragon

[Level]: LV28

[Moves]: Proficient: Water Gun, Tornado...

Getting Started: Gathering Qi, Smoke Screen...

Looking at the blue seahorse elf covered with spikes, there was a hint of desire in the boy's eyes.

After all, the Sea Thorn Dragon is a relatively powerful dragon-blood elf. As long as it evolves into a Thorn Dragon King, it can awaken its true dragon attributes.

Moreover, the Thorn Dragon King is a very rare and powerful elf.

"Bi Touch~"

Being looked at like this, the Sea Thorn Dragon's sharp eyes immediately turned ugly, and with a "swish", a stream of water shot over.

Fortunately, it was blocked by Rada.

"Pulada! (▼皿▼#)"

Looking at the sea thorn dragon, the little guy was a little angry.

"Ah Dong!"

Okay! Don't cause trouble. As a human, you should be careful with your eyes and don't provoke the elves with bad tempers.

As it spoke, a dazzling blue light burst out from the stupid hippo's eyes again. After communicating with the furious sea dragon via telepathy, it retreated on its own initiative.

"Boy, we elves are just like you humans. We don't like being treated as commodities. Do you understand?"

In response, Zhao Yiyuan immediately bowed and saluted.

"I'm sorry, I didn't change it at the moment."

"Ah."

With a slight nod, they continued walking inside.

On the way, Zhao Yiyuan even saw many corpses of military soldiers. It was obvious that the military forces of several major provinces were not doing well on the second level.

They walked to a small island, and the silly hippo pointed to the whirlpool below the island and said:

"The entrance to the third floor is right below here. Jump down with me."

As he spoke, a light blue shield enveloped Zhao Yiyuan, Rattata, and Sandshrew.

"Kuja~"

The sandmouse poked it curiously with its claws and found that although it was quite soft, it couldn't tear it apart with its strength!

Ignoring this little action, the stupid hippopotamus took the lead after adding protection and jumped down with a "plop".

"Okay, let's go down too."

Zhao Yiyuan and the two little ones followed closely behind.

As soon as I jumped in, I felt the huge sound of water flowing.

"Whoa~ Whoa~"

Through the blue shield, one could see that the vortex was stirring wildly. The powerful tearing force made Zhao Yiyuan a little worried that the shield would suddenly break.

Fortunately, although the stupid hippo looked a little stupid, he was still very reliable. After a dizzy feeling, they landed safely with a "bang".

Then waves of terrifying aura began to revive.

"Hey ho!"

"Roar!"

"Tsk!"

……

I saw elves, some of whom were weakest but some of whom were high-level, surrounding him, looking at Zhao Yiyuan with curiosity and disdain.

Gyarados, Thorn Dragon, Giant Claw Crab, Bronze Bell...

The most eye-catching one is the bronze bell. The large navy blue bell seems to be floating in the air in a strange way. It is unclear whether the bell has facial features or mysterious patterns on its surface. It looks very different.

[Elf]: Bronze Bell

[Level]: LV52

[Moves]: Mastery: Mental Wave, Telekinesis

Skilled in: sealing, mysterious protection, predicting the future...

Getting Started: It’s a sunny day, pray for rain…

Just as Zhao Yiyuan was staring blankly at the bronze bell, the surface of the bell suddenly lit up with a dazzling purple light, covering all the elves present.

Then the boy suddenly realized that he could hear clearly what each elf was conveying.

"This is the envoy of Emperor Yan? Why is he so weak?"

This was Gyarados' voice, with the strongest expression of disdain on its big face.

"Being weak doesn't mean you will always be weak. Human beings are full of infinite possibilities.

Lord Yandi chose him, so he must have some extraordinary qualities."

Well, this gentle female voice comes from the Thorn Dragon King. With light blue water ribbons floating around it, it has a fairy-like feeling.

"Master Bronze Bell, is the envoy awake?"

This is the slightly old voice of the silly hippopotamus.

In response, the bronze bell made a "ding~" sound and replied:

"I have awakened Lord Articuno, but only for a short time. You can all go away after you have seen him.

I'm going to take this human to see Master Articuno."

Hearing this, Gyarados, Rhydon, Crawlons... and a group of Pokémons immediately dispersed.

Then, while Zhao Yiyuan was completely confused, he was controlled and floated above the big clock.

The boy was a little nervous as it was his first time sitting on an elite level, not to mention that he was going to meet Articuno later, so he thought about getting some information on the way.

"Master Bronze Bell, you just said to awaken Master Articuno. Is Articuno sealed?"

"Are the other elves here all subordinates of Lord Articuno?"

……

Unfortunately, he asked several questions in a row but received no response. The bronze bell under his seat was like a programmed robot, mechanically taking him deeper into the third level of the cave.

They flew like this for who knows how long, and finally a pile of ice as tall as a person appeared in front of them.

"That, that's all unmelted ice!"

Looking at the crystal clear iceberg emitting pure ice energy, the boy exclaimed.

You have to know that a piece of ice that is half the size of a palm and not of high quality and does not melt would cost hundreds of thousands.

How much is so much non-melting ice worth?

But soon, he no longer cared about this issue, because above the iceberg, an elegant bird elf emitting a fluorescent blue light slowly flew down.

There is a crown on its head made up of three dark blue prismatic feathers, red eyes, and long, colorful flag-like tail feathers. There is no doubt that this is Articuno, one of the three sacred birds under Lugia's seat.

Seeing the messenger of God, the bronze bell clanged and sent the man and two rats to the ground. Then, after leaning slightly and bowing to signal, it took the initiative to retreat.

"What's your name, the child chosen by Emperor Yan?"

As a mythical beast, telepathy is almost standard, so when Zhao Yiyuan heard the soft female voice, he immediately realized that it was Articuno talking to him.
