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

"Ugh--"

The office of the first-year high school teaching group.

Li Zimu held the report cards of the whole class and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

Lin Feng, who was sitting next to him, noticed Li Zimu's mood change, and quickly stood up, thoughtfully poured a cup of warm water, carefully handed it to Li Zimu, and comforted him:

"Teacher Li, don't worry too much. The students' grades will definitely improve gradually."

"Don't you know why I'm anxious?"

Li Zimu rolled his eyes at Lin Feng, put the report card in front of Lin Feng, and said unhappily.

"Your Pokémon language is as stable as ever! It's been almost a year and I haven't seen you pass the test."

Lin Feng curled his lips. He already had the power of wave guidance, so there was no need to learn this...

"As for subjects like physics and chemistry, can't you work harder?"

"Students from other classes who received full marks in the battle course were generally able to rank in the top ten in their grade in terms of their final total scores."

"But you are such a partiality person. There are more than 20 people in the class, but you can't even make it into the top ten. Teachers of other subjects have complained to me more than once that they think you are prejudiced against them!"

"No way!" Lin Feng explained loudly, "All the teachers in each subject are very good!"

Then, his voice unconsciously dropped an octave, and he muttered softly:

"It's just that you're not very reliable sometimes..."

"What did you say?!"

"No, nothing." Lin Feng quickly looked out the window, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

Li Zimu sighed helplessly and advised earnestly:

"Hey, Lin Feng, you should focus on your studies and put more effort into your academic subjects! Otherwise, with your grades like this, I won't be able to help you even if I want to."

Li Zimu took a sip of water, and when he saw Lin Feng nod, he asked with satisfaction:

"By the way, what do you want from me?"

"that……

"Lin Feng scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed, and spoke hesitantly:

"I would like to ask you for two weeks' leave."

Li Zimu rolled his eyes and said, well, just treat what I just said as talking to a donkey.

Two days later, at Baizhi's invitation, Baizhi, Lin Feng, Zhang Tianhou and Bai Yao once again took on the task of hunting elite Pokémon and stepped into the Azure Forest.

Since Baizhi entered the Tianqing Forest last time, after more than half a year of hard training, her sickle helmet has been successfully promoted to elite level and her strength has reached level 42.

As an elite trainer, she now has the authority to enter the Azure Forest and can bring an entry-level trainer with her.

Compared to the last time when she took the back door, this time Bai Yao finally had a legitimate reason to follow her sister into the forest.

Lin Feng also had the Tianqing Forest entry and exit certificate (a reward for the school exchange competition, see Chapter 34 - Desperate Situation for details) and could bring one person in, which was just the right opportunity for Zhang Tianhou to take advantage of.

Wang Xiaotian, who fell behind, originally wanted to come along, but he didn't do well in the midterm exam, so his request for leave was directly rejected by Li Zimu. He had to stay and attend the class miserably.

But surprisingly, not long after they walked, they were attacked by more than a dozen waves of Pokémon, including Beedrill, Infernape, and Crocodile.

After all, the last time Lin Feng and Bai Zhi entered the Tianqing Forest, it was just after Tianhai City cleared out the beast tide. The number of wild Pokémon decreased and their aggressiveness was relatively weaker.

But this time it was just the opposite. After a year of recuperation, the number of wild Pokémon in the Azure Forest had increased significantly. Even some entry-level Pokémon showed strong aggressiveness and territorial defense awareness, and they rushed forward fearlessly when they saw them.

By noon, Lin Feng and his companions had only traveled about two kilometers. As the Pokémons had consumed a lot of energy, they had to choose to rest on the spot.

Bai Zhi took a bite of the compressed biscuit and looked at Lin Feng puzzledly:

"Why are the Pokémon so much more aggressive this time? At our current speed, we may not be able to reach the habitat of the Flamehorse tonight."

Ever since the last hunting failed, Bai Zhi has been brooding over the escaped Flame Horse and vowed to catch it.

"That's normal. Most of the Pokémon in the Azure Forest are hostile to humans. It was just a coincidence that you came last time."

Lin Feng looked at the patrolling Lucario and continued:

"No need to rush. We can go to the creek where I camped before. I have acquaintances there, and the rest of the journey should be safer."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Bai Zhi and the other two were stunned.

Camping? Acquaintance?

Why does this painting style seem out of place with the danger-filled Azure Forest?

……

"I haven't been back for a long time."

Relying on Lucario's keen sense of smell, Lin Feng and his companions quickly arrived at the stream.

Looking at the withered and remaining traces of the vine bed on the tree, as well as the claw marks left on the stone from Riolu's boxing practice, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh.

"Lucario, go find your old friends."

Lin Feng patted Lucario on the shoulder. Hearing this, Lucario nodded, used the Lightning Flash skill, and rushed into the jungle.

Not long after, a slight noise was heard.

I saw six or seven Pokémon including Cat Boss, Wall Doll, Wolf Man, and Mosquito Swimmer following Lucario out of the bushes.

However, when they looked at Zhang Tianhou and his companions, they instinctively became alert and prepared for battle.

Although Lucario tried hard to explain the situation to his friends, the Pokémon just ignored him.

Seeing this, Zhang Tianhou and his companions also ordered the Fire Monkey to assume a fighting stance, and the situation gradually became tense.

Lin Feng waved his hand, walked to the front of Boss Cat, bent down, took out the "handmade energy block" he had specially made before going out with one hand, and slowly used the power of waveguide with the other hand.

"Little guys, long time no see, do you still remember me?"

Several Pokémon smelled the familiar scent of Lin Feng and the energy cube, and felt the warmth brought by the power of the wave.

Gradually, their dormant memories began to revive, and the pleasant time they spent living with Lin Feng emerged in their minds.

The cat boss's originally vigilant eyes became much softer at this time. He first looked carefully at Lin Feng in front of him, then opened his mouth without hesitation and swallowed the energy cube in Lin Feng's hand in one gulp.

After eating, she seemed to be still unsatisfied and stretched out her tongue to gently lick Lin Feng's palm, expressing her approval of him.

"How about I just say I know someone here?"

Lin Feng stroked the cat boss's soft fur and looked at Zhang Tianhou and others proudly.

Zhang Tianhou breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the other Pokémon gather around Lin Feng and eat the energy cubes.

"It's rare that I can still recognize you after such a long time."

Lin Feng touched a few Pokémon and sighed softly:

"Pokémon are much more loyal than humans. Once they like you, that love will never change."

“No matter what you do, what happens, or how long you have been through, this feeling will never waver. It will transcend time and last forever.”

After saying this, Lin Feng turned his gaze to Lucario beside him, his eyes revealing a hint of expectation and inquiry.

What about the other little ones?

Lucario shook his head, indicating that he found nothing.

Faced with this result, Lin Feng fell into a brief silence.

After all, most of them only have the strength of a novice or early entry level. Under the cruel laws of nature, only a few weaklings can survive.

After a while, Lin Feng finally broke the silence. He turned to look at the cat boss beside him and said sincerely:

"Boss Cat, can I trouble you for something?"

Then, Lin Feng slowly told them that they were planning to take a short break by the stream and hoped that the Pokémon would help persuade their fellow Pokémon around them not to attack them.

Hearing this, the cat boss nodded repeatedly, indicating that the matter was left to them. In this area, Pokémon below the normal level would still give him some face, but it was hard to say for those above the normal level.

However, with him and Mosquito-Swimmer around, normal-level Pokémon generally wouldn't cause trouble for themselves.

"Thank you then."

Lin Feng smiled at the Cat Boss. The Cat Boss waved his hands indifferently and then rubbed his paws.

"Meow~ (Give me some hard work fee.)"

"Ok?"

Lin Feng was stunned at first, then he laughed.

"You really haven't changed."

……

At night, by the stream, with the help of Boss Cat, there were almost no other Pokémon coming to disturb within a kilometer radius.

To thank them, Lin Feng and his friends took out the various ingredients they had collected and brought with them, and had a barbecue with Cat Boss and several Pokémon in the newly dug cave.

“It’s really a dream to be able to have a barbecue in the Azure Forest.”

Bai Zhi took a sip of the barbecue and recalled the embarrassing scene when she entered the forest last time, and she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Meow! (What are you afraid of? I'll protect this area!)"

At this time, the cat boss also tore off a large piece of tender and juicy meat without showing any weakness, and said with a smug look on his face.

While chewing the meat in his mouth, he suddenly thought of a question and asked the mosquito-repellent swimmer beside him:

By the way, what kind of meat is this?

The mosquito-repellent swimmer drank the tree juice and looked at the cat boss in a daze:

Who cares, as long as it tastes good!

"Mosquito incense~"

After saying this, Mosquito Repellent Swimmer stood up drunkenly, glanced at Bai Zhi and Bai Yao, and pulled Lin Feng aside to talk in private.

"Lao Lin, what are you talking about?"

Zhang Tianhou asked incoherently while chewing on a fruit.

"Um," Lin Feng touched his ear and looked at the three people embarrassedly.

"Mr. Mosquito-repellent swimmer said there's a very secluded cave next to his nest, and there's a natural hot spring inside. Does anyone want to go and relax?"
