My Name is Lucario

"...So, I swam all the way here along the river extending from Crescent Lake."

Shiny Magikarp told the whole story in a fragmented manner.

"Alas."

Leo sighed and looked at Squirtle Boss, both of them looked helpless.

Originally, they thought of joining forces with Crescent Lake, relying on two leader-level elves and many elite elves, and the elves in the poisonous swamp could also fight. As a result, now the allies who wanted to join forces have been caught in one fell swoop. The elves that have not been captured and controlled in the entire Crescent Forest are the remaining combat power of Chaoyang Valley and the Shiny Magikarp in front of them, which can be said to have no combat power.

Now even the determined Squirtle Boss felt a little desperate.

Even if the combat power situation is not good, Leo still doesn't want to give up.

"Hey, Boss, cheer up, your companions can't be saved by being depressed."

Squirtle Boss was a little discouraged, and then he cheered up.

"Leo, if necessary, I will go face them alone. As long as I can hold them back, there is still a chance to defeat them..."

The Squirtle boss couldn't say anything more. Although he was very strong, he was facing the Lv40 Nidoking Overlord, multiple elite Pokémon above level 20, and even potential Golduck leader, Snorlax leader and Pidgeot leader. Even if Groudon came, he might not be able to defeat them - because he can't fly and can't beat Pidgeot.

Leo frowned, holding his chin with his right paw, holding his right elbow with his left hand, and pacing and thinking.

Takuma, who had been invisible, raised his hand and said, "Well, I don't think we have to confront that group of elves head-on, right? Our ultimate goal is to rescue our companions, so why not sneak in secretly? Use the tunnels we dug..."

"No, not to mention that the opponent has many ground-type elves, it is difficult to hide the movement from them when we dig a hole underground. Moreover, their boss, Nidoking's move [Earthquake], if we sneak through the tunnel, it will be very dangerous if Nidoking uses [Earthquake] to collapse the tunnel."

Leo subconsciously rejected Takuma's proposal.

Suddenly, an idea flashed.

"[Earthquake]... The tunnel dug by the hole... collapsed..."

Several key thoughts floated in Leo's mind, and various inspirations burst out, but he always felt that there was still a little bit missing.

"Alas, it would be great if the elves of Crescent Lake were here, after all, water elves have an advantage over ground elves."

"Yeah, if you can't win, you can still escape, but it's a pity that there is no such a group of helpers."

Several elves sighed.

"Water... the river flowing through the poisonous swamp..."

Leo's eyes lit up, and a feasible plan formed in his mind.

He quickly gathered all the elves together: "Hey, everyone, I thought of a good way..."

...

In the poisonous swamp.

Some elves are resting, some elves with excess energy are practicing fiercely with each other, and some elves are asked to guard the captives.

It seems that as time goes by, the elves' originally unreasonable and violent state gradually improves, and some elves even regain some rationality and begin to have some small thoughts.

"Yawn~"

A sandshrew yawned boredly, and he felt a little bored guarding the entrance of the cave where the elves were imprisoned for a long time.

"The elves in the cave have been injected with poison by Master Arbok. They can't run away even if they want to. Is it necessary to have so many elves guarding?"

Looking at the elves around him, such as Rhino, Nidoran, Arbok, etc., who were meticulously performing their guarding tasks, he felt a little dissatisfied.

"There are only a few elves left in Chaoyang Valley. What kind of storm can they stir up? Alas, I miss my own cave. It's so comfortable to squat and sleep, and I don't have to suffer here."

Sandshrew saw that other elves didn't notice him, so he decided to hide quietly to the side of the cave entrance.

Just then, he found that there were several ripples on the surface of the river flowing through the poisonous swamp.

"Huh? Could it be..."

Only the fins of the golden Magikarp and the heads of several Squirtles floated on the surface of the river. They tried their best to control their movements, looking around, as if they were looking for something.

The sandmouse was delighted and quickly tiptoed back to the cave and told his companions about his discovery.

"Just now, I found several elves that were not caught in the river outside. You said that if we catch these fish that escaped, the adults will be very happy."

The sandmouse encouraged the other elves.

"ButYes, we still have to guard these elves..."

Elves such as Ironhorn Rhino were moved by what he said, but there was still some hesitation on their faces.

"What are you afraid of? You know the poison of Master Arbok. Even I can't beat these elves after they are poisoned. At most, I can leave one brother here to continue guarding, and other elves can catch them. As long as they catch them, it will be a great achievement."

Other elves thought the same thing in their hearts. Seeing that the group of poisoned elves in the cave were so weak that they had almost no ability to resist, they discussed it privately. Finally, Sandshrew patted his chest to express that the credit was given to everyone, and he was allowed to stay and continue to guard.

"But how do we catch the elves in the river?"

Ironhorn Rhino moved his limbs and asked Sandshrew in a muffled voice.

Sandshrew's eyes rolled around, revealing a cunning look.

"Aren't there those birds outside? Call them too, let them drive the elves in the water from the air, force them to land, and then it's time for you to show your skills. "

"That makes sense."

The Rhino nodded and led a group of ground-type Pokémons out.

The Shiny Magikarp and Squirtles in the water seemed to be frightened and swam away in a panic.

Seeing the Pokémons calling the Flying-type Pidgeots and the others to chase the Shiny Magikarp and Squirtles in the water, Sandshrew smiled evilly, turned around and found a clean place at the entrance of the cave, curled up and planned to have a good sleep.

"These stupid guys, catching Pokémons is not as comfortable as sleeping... Huhu..."

He soon fell asleep.

After a while, a hole appeared on the ground next to Sandshrew, and Leo, Armstrong and Monkey Monsters quietly crawled out of the hole.

Leo rolled his eyes at the sleeping Sandshrew: "I was thinking about how to deal with the guarding Pokémons without causing a big commotion, but this guy fell asleep without us having to do anything. "

When Armstrong and the monkey monsters saw their companions moaning in the cave, they were so excited that they wanted to rush in and rescue them immediately.

"Hey, don't, don't, don't."

Leo quickly stopped his impulsive companions, pointed to the swamp surrounded by purple poisonous fog not far away, and whispered: "Don't be impulsive, there are still many elves there. If we save the elves now, we will be easily discovered. Not only will we not be able to rescue them, but we will also be in trouble."

"Be patient for a while."

Fortunately, Leo was also convinced by the elves in Chaoyang Valley. Armstrong and the monkey monsters resisted the urge to save the elves, followed Leo and hid secretly in the shadow of the rocks near the cave, waiting for the opportunity.
