After being struck by lightning, I became the leader of the elves

A few days later, in the bustling Gyarados Restaurant, two young men were sitting in a quiet private room, enjoying the joy of reunion.

"cheers!"

Zhang Tianhou excitedly raised his cup and clinked it heavily against Lin Feng's cup, making a crisp sound.

"I can't believe you've already returned to school. If I had known, I wouldn't have volunteered to accompany the army. That experience is too torturous."

"You don't know, we have to walk such a long way and climb such a high mountain every day!"

"Have you ever seen a gym leader-level Steelix? Its eyes are bigger than mine!"

"Have you ever seen a wild Milotic? Colorful scales! White and tender skin! Slurp - cough cough, you will definitely drool when you see it!"

"And there's more..."

"Alright, alright, it looks like you've gained a lot from this trip," Lin Feng interrupted Zhang Tianhou with a wave of his hand and a smile as he watched him talk and jump excitedly. "However, compared to all that, the biggest gain is our school's legendary figure, Senior Sister Bai Zhi, who must look at you differently now."

Lin Feng poked the pink gift box on the table with chopsticks and looked at his best friend with ill intent, a teasing gleam in his eyes.

"Don't talk nonsense, Senior is just expressing gratitude to me."

Zhang Tianhou scratched his head embarrassedly, and a blush flashed across his face.

"It was a coincidence that day. After the mission of searching for the remnants of the Holy Court was completed, our troops were resting not far away. At that time, I was patrolling with a few team members and happened to find that Senior Sister Bai Zhi and her group were under siege."

"I just rushed over and threw a 'Thunder Ball Shock Bomb', which helped a little, but it was mainly those elite team members who destroyed those Pokémon."

"Really? I heard that because of your heroic act of saving the damsel in distress, Senior Sister Bai Zhi has been visiting your class every day these past few days, with such ambiguous eyes..."

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and deliberately lengthened his voice, with an expression as if he was enjoying a good show.

"Stop, stop," Zhang Tianhou waved his hand quickly, "Skip this topic and tell me about your experience in Tianqing Forest."

"Okay," Lin Feng took a sip of orange juice, cleared his throat, and told Zhang Tianhou how he landed safely, how he robbed Pokémon, and how he became the "King of the Mountain".

Facing this good brother with whom he had a friendship of more than ten years and who was willing to go through thick and thin for him, Lin Feng let down all his guard and told him everything.

When Lin Feng talked about how he accidentally tricked Mr. Li and was chased all over the forest by Pokémon, they both couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"By the way, after returning to school, I asked Director Tang and found out that all other students returned safely." After laughing, Lin Feng asked the question that had been buried in his heart, "Why were we the only ones attacked? Was it really just bad luck?"

"Of course not. In fact, our retreat went smoothly at the beginning, and we were accompanied by elite trainers to protect us." Zhang Tianhou shook his head. "The main reason was Lin Xue's fault."

"Lin Xue? What does that mean?" Lin Feng was a little confused. Is a novice-level trainer worthy of the Holy See's special attention?

"She is the daughter of 'White Tiger'." Zhang Tianhou lowered his voice and spoke word by word.

White Tiger? Lin Feng was also surprised when he heard this name.

Teacher Tian once mentioned in the history class that those who can be awarded the titles of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise are the pillars of the country who possess the peak strength of the Heavenly King level and have made huge contributions to China, and their status is even higher than that of the Twelve Heavenly Kings.

These four legendary figures are not only extremely powerful and shoulder the responsibility of protecting the country and the people, but are also the leaders of the Chinese Pokémon world. If nothing unexpected happens, all four of them will win the championship and completely establish China's international status as the world's number one.

But in the end, an accident happened.

In a past Holy Court operation against China, the Alliance received advance news that four of the "Seven Virtues" would meet at a certain place.

In order to deal a heavy blow to the Holy See, "Qilin" arranged for "White Tiger" and "Black Tortoise" to lead the team, bringing with them the six Heavenly Kings at the time, including "Rabbit" and "Dragon", and 30 gym leader-level trainers. At the same time, a large number of troops were dispatched to launch a siege against the Holy See.

Once the battle started, everything went exceptionally smoothly.

The powerful military force of the alliance left the cadres and personnel of the Holy See in charge of garrison powerless to fight back. They were either annihilated or arrested on the spot.

Even the core members of the Holy Court, the "Seven Virtues", were suppressed by "White Tiger" and "Black Tortoise" and fled in a panic deep into the underground base.

Afterwards, "White Tiger" ordered the army to wait outside, and then he and "Xuanwu" led the kings in to chase.

After all, facing the combat power of the eight heavenly kings, almost no one would doubt the final result. Everyone firmly believed that the "Seven Virtues" would be brought to justice soon.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened. A shocking explosion suddenly sounded in the underground base, followed by a huge shock wave.

When the dust settled, everyone discovered that except for "Chen Long" who escaped with serious injuries, the other seven heavenly kings and the "Seven Virtues" including "White Tiger" had all disappeared without a trace.

Afterwards, although the alliance turned over the ruins and conducted a careful search, strangely, not a single body was found.

The explosion became an unsolved case that remains unsolved to this day.

After "Chenlong" returned, it is said that he explained some things to "Qilin", but the specific content has become the top secret of the alliance and no one knows it.

"White Tiger's child?" Lin Feng suddenly understood, "Did the Holy Court plan this attack in order to hunt down Lin Xue?"

But the next second, Lin Feng rejected his guess, "No, if they were targeting her, they wouldn't have sent out such a weak three-headed dragon. Is it a coincidence?"

"Yes," Zhang Tianhou nodded, "Lin Xue's background is top secret in the alliance. 99% of the people in the Holy Court don't know her identity, but man proposes, God disposes."

"The 'Seven Virtues' that escaped from the 'White Tiger' and 'Black Tortoise' happened to include 'Chastity' that attacked the Sea Capital this time!"

"When we escaped, she was confronting Rabbit, but Ma-la beside her said something to her, and then Chastity's eyes locked on us."

"Although she was unable to split her forces, some of the Holy See cadres on the periphery soon attacked us. If the trainers from the alliance had not stopped them in time, there would be more than just one three-headed dragon chasing us."

"At this time, Lin Xue also revealed her life story to us. She wanted to leave and not drag us down. If the guy named Long and I hadn't stopped her in time, she would have fallen freely from the sky."

"Then, a destructive death ray hit her, and she was knocked down by the Pikachu who was protecting her. She passed out, and then you woke up."

"So how is Lin Xue now?"

"I don't know. I'm not familiar with her, and I haven't paid attention to her since I left Pidgeot." Zhang Tianhou shrugged.

"Hey, don't worry about her. I'll give you something good."

Seeing that Lin Feng was still thinking about Lin Xue, Zhang Tianhou quickly changed the subject and took out a black belt from under the table.

Zhang Tianhou handed the black belt to Lin Feng with a casual expression, "Here, this is the reward I received for making it into the top 32 in my school's exchange competition. I don't need it anyway, so I might as well make use of it and give it to you."

Lin Feng took the black belt and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He believed that this black belt must be of great significance to Zhang Tianhou. This should be the prize he won when he first participated in the municipal competition. Although it was of great significance, he still gave it to himself without hesitation. This friendship made Lin Feng feel extremely warm.

"Okay, then I won't be polite to you."

"It just so happens that I have a 'waste' here, you can help me make use of it," Lin Feng took out a special container, and after opening it, it turned out to be the flaming orb.

"Flame Orb?! This is a rare and valuable item." Zhang Tianhou rubbed his eyes, staring at the red-glowing bead in amazement, and waved his hands repeatedly, "This is too valuable. You should keep it quickly."

"What's so valuable about it? I just picked it up on the street. It looks nice, but it's hot to the touch. I'm afraid it might cause a fire if I use it as a decoration. It can only be used as a warm baby for your little flame monkey. Don't waste time, just take it."

Zhang Tianhou looked at Lin Feng's sincere eyes, he silently took the flame orb, tears flashing in his eyes.

"Hey, why are you still crying? Is it that serious?" Lin Feng teased with a smile.

"Stop making sarcastic remarks. Damn, the onions I just peeled got all in my eyes!"
