Elf: As a champion, I just want to teach and educate people

Chapter 194: Underground Cave
In the dense grass, Xiaoye hugged her Pipi tightly, her heartbeat accelerated, but it was the most beautiful melody. When the Rocket trio went away, Xiaoye stood up quietly and followed them carefully, like a sneaking ghost.

Her eyes were firm, and she was filled with anxiety: "We must not let Team Rocket capture Pokémon on this sacred land!"

How can we tolerate the wanton destruction of Mount Michaya, the sacred mountain that has nurtured countless lives and carried the endless hopes of the residents of Zhenxin Town!
Xiaoye clenched her fists, her fingertips digging deep into her palms, reflecting her inner anxiety. She couldn't let these greedy poachers succeed, and couldn't let the harmony and tranquility of Mount Michaya be threatened in the slightest.

She took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air flowing through her lungs, and storing up strength for the upcoming battle.

"Pipi!" (Look at me, shaking my finger!)

Pipi's face became firm and resolute, and his crystal clear eyes scanned the surroundings, as if he was looking for something. His eyes flashed with determination, and he was obviously ready to release his moves.

Then, Pippi stretched out her slender fingers and waved gently.

Two pure white lights instantly condensed at its fingertips, dazzling like bright stars. As it swung, the white light turned into a sharp blade, exuding a fierce aura.

shhh-

Pippi aimed at a branch nearby, stretched out his arm, and chopped it hard.

Instantly, four huge handheld shields were cut down, as if they were created by the magical power of nature. They covered the sky and blocked out the sun, enough to hide Xiaoye and Pipi in the shadows.

Seeing this, Xiaoye was overjoyed. She gently stroked Pipi's head to praise him: "Pipi, you are so amazing!"

She picked up two handheld shields and followed the Team Rocket trio with Pippi.

They followed silently like Gengar, looking for the best time to strike. In this silent battle, Xiaoye and Pipi worked closely together to prepare for a surprise attack on Team Rocket.

The three members of Team Rocket continued walking on the road ahead, while Xiaoye followed carefully behind them, keeping a certain distance.

Her heartbeat was particularly clear in the silent wilderness, but she knew that she had to remain calm and alert at this moment.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. About ten minutes later, Kojiro suddenly stopped and turned around: "Who's there? Come out quickly? Don't think I don't know you are there!"

He looked around but didn't find anything suspicious.

Kojiro frowned and said to Musashi beside him: "Musashi, do you feel anything is wrong? I always feel that someone is following us here."

Musashi put down the tools in his hands, lifted up his fiery rose-red hair, and showed a disdainful expression:

"Apart from our Team Rocket, how could there be anyone else here? Moreover, even if there are others, the residents of Pallet Town are just a group of weak ordinary people."

Musashi's laughter echoed in the air, with a bit of sarcasm and contempt: "Hahaha, if they dared to follow us, they would have been scared to death after hearing the reputation of Team Rocket, right?"

"That's right, meow, Kojiro, what's wrong with you today, meow?" Meow Meow squatted aside, gently touched her nose with her pink paws, and looked at Kojiro with some confusion.

It felt that Kojiro was a little unusual today, as if he was too nervous and sensitive.

This operation was extremely confidential and no one knew about it except them and the boss.

How could anyone know their whereabouts and follow them? It was simply impossible.

"But……"

Kojiro opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something else, but Musashi interrupted him impatiently, "Alright, alright, Kojiro, you're worrying too much. It must be those residents of Pallet Town. They pose no threat to us."

As she spoke, she combed her long hair with her hands, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Didn't the boss say that the guy named Li Yunyi is dealing with the alliance's affairs and has no time to spare, so he won't come here."

When Xiao Ye, who was far away, heard the name "Li Yunyi", his heart skipped a beat.

Her thoughts instantly drifted back to the time she had just spent with Brother Li Yunyi. Wasn't Brother Li Yunyi already on vacation?
Why would the Rockets trio think he was handling things?
Is there some hidden secret that she doesn't know?

Xiaoye frowned, his heart filled with doubts.

Could it be that someone spread false information in the league and deliberately misled the Rockets trio?
But what is the purpose of doing this?
At this moment when her thoughts were in a state of confusion, Xiaoye quickly hid herself to avoid being discovered by Kojiro. She could not let any disturbance disturb her plan.

Kojiro took big steps and walked quickly towards Xiaoye's direction. He felt something strange inside, as if something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

This feeling made him a little irritated, but he could do nothing about it.

He looked around, his eyes lingering on every corner, trying to find the source of that something wrong.

He looked up and down, examining every detail, watching every leaf, feeling every breeze.

Everything seemed normal, nothing unusual.

"Hmm... what's the problem?" Kojiro muttered in a low voice, frowning. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his doubts, but he couldn't find the root of his uneasiness.

Musashi walked up to Kojiro, frowned slightly, and said impatiently: "Kojiro, what's wrong with you? Everything is normal, but you are always suspicious."

She reached out her hand and grabbed Kojiro's ear without any hesitation, saying sternly, "Stop thinking about it. We have more important things to do. The task assigned by the boss cannot be delayed. Time waits for no one. Let's go!"

Kojiro was pulled by Musashi's ears, and he could only smile bitterly. He knew that Musashi was right. He shook his head, trying to put aside those unnecessary doubts, and continued to move forward with Musashi.

On the way to the destination, Kojiro was still troubled by doubts. He frowned and looked deep, trying to find the truth through the appearance.

"What went wrong?" Kojiro whispered to himself, every word full of confusion and thought. His hands clenched involuntarily, as if he was looking for some kind of support.

The surrounding scenery became blurred in his eyes, and his thoughts had long drifted far away, trying to solve the mystery that troubled him. However, no matter how hard he tried, the answer to that question always seemed to be elusive.

Kojiro felt that he needed to calm down and sort out his thoughts.

That question kept lingering in his mind, making him unable to get rid of his inner struggle and doubts.

Soon, Team Rocket arrived at the entrance that Xiaoye had entered. They had walked a long way, their feet were sore, and they were exhausted.

Kojiro and Musashi also felt the fatigue, they looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding. Then, they relaxed their tense heartstrings and sat on the ground, wanting to have a good rest.

The surroundings seemed to sense their fatigue, and were quiet and peaceful. A breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness and soothing their tired hearts.

The three members of Team Rocket closed their eyes, took a deep breath of the fresh air, and felt this rare tranquility.

All the doubts and tensions were temporarily put aside, and they just wanted to have a good rest, restore their strength, and prepare for the next task.

During the break, Musashi looked at Kojiro beside her and couldn't help but feel a little worried. She opened her red lips and said, "Kojiro, you are really a little too nervous today."

There was a hint of concern in her eyes. Kojiro's sixth sense was always very accurate, but this time he couldn't explain it.

"But I really feel like I'm being followed..." Kojiro sighed helplessly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

He did feel an inexplicable threat, but he had no idea where that threat came from.

The air seemed to be filled with a sense of uneasiness, which made his nerves unconsciously tense.

Kojiro looked up into the distance, with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes. He prayed in his heart, hoping that his sixth sense was wrong, hoping that all this was just his overthinking.

Xiao Ye carefully hid in the dark and listened to the conversation of the three members of Team Rocket.

At the same time, Xiao Mao has gone deep into the cave, exploring unknown secrets.

The air in the cave was slightly moist, completely isolated from the dry outside. Xiao Mao's footsteps left deep marks on the slippery ground, and the accumulated water on the ground reflected his determined figure.

The stalagmites and stone curtains on the inner wall of the cave are looming in the dim light, as if telling an ancient and mysterious story. The sound of dripping water echoes in the air, interweaving with Xiaomao's footsteps, creating a palpitating atmosphere.

Eevee, Squirtle, and Growlithe surrounded Xiaomao from three directions like a guardian angel, like an indestructible barrier. They looked around vigilantly, not missing any suspicious movements, and swore to protect Xiaomao's safety.

The number of Pokémon below is increasing, and powerful and mysterious forces fill every corner.

If it weren't for the guidance of the three powerful guardians, Vulcan Moth, Hairy Troll and Meteorite, Xiao Mao would probably have found it difficult to penetrate this forbidden area so smoothly.

Their existence not only provided Xiao Mao with great support, but also pointed out a clear path for him, allowing him to quickly move through this intricate cave.

"Hmm." (Everyone, the road ahead is full of unknowns and dangers. We must act with caution to avoid alerting potential crises.) The Vulcan Moth's voice was low and powerful, revealing an innate majesty.

In fact, this powerful Pokémon has a calm personality. It knows that in a dangerous environment, rash actions will only bring unpredictable consequences. If it is not necessary, it would rather choose a conservative strategy to avoid unnecessary disputes.

Facing the steep road ahead, the eyes of the Vulcan Moth flashed with a thoughtful light. It knew clearly that most of the Pokémon around it were fossils, sleeping from ancient times to the present.

Their personalities are manic and unpredictable, and even it doesn't really want to take action.

Once they are angered, the consequences will be disastrous and may even lead to heavy losses.

Therefore, the Fire Moth decided to stay alert and try to avoid disturbing the rest of these Pokémon. It hopes that in this way, it can maximize the safety of the team and smoothly pass through this challenging area.

"Gah." (Indeed, there are a lot of Pokémon here. With the power of the Vulcan Moth brothers alone, I'm afraid the Pokémon here can't cope with all the challenges.)
The Hairy Troll nodded. As one of the veteran Pokémon in the team, it knew that Vulcano was very powerful, but it was not wise to suddenly start a fight in this unknown area.

Like the Vulcan Moth, it understands the importance of strength, but it also understands the importance of teamwork.

Although they are powerful, they do not underestimate any opponent, and are even less willing to use force to solve problems easily.

In their cognition, force is only a means, not the ultimate goal. They prefer to solve problems through wisdom and strategy, and try to avoid unnecessary fights and injuries.

This idea is deeply rooted in their hearts and becomes the guiding principle for their actions.

In this challenging area, they are willing to work together with other partners to deal with the dangers ahead.

"Nah~" (Each of these Pokémon has experienced a long time, their existence is like a story.)
The little meteorite looked around curiously, with a dazzling light flashing in his eyes, wanting to find out the secrets of that group of Pokémon.

Scarlet light continued to emanate from the group of Pokémon, like balls of mysterious flames, surrounding them.

They stared at Xiao Mao and his group intently, examining the purpose and intentions of these outsiders.

Surprisingly, the group of Pokémon did not come forward to stop Xiao Mao and his group. The reason behind this was precisely because of the existence of the Vulcan Moth and the Longhaired Troll.

Their powerful strength has reached an astonishing level, making the group of Pokémon realize that they are no match for them.

In front of their majesty, the group of Pokémon felt their own insignificance and powerlessness, and did not dare to step forward to provoke them easily.

This difference in strength formed a delicate balance. The existence of the Vulcan Moth and the Long-haired Troll not only provided powerful protection for Xiao Mao and his companions, but also earned them an indescribable respect.

This respect stems from the Pokémon's awe of powerful strength, as well as their caution and vigilance toward the unknown world.
