Elf: Seriously? You only get a cheat code when you're about to die?

Chapter 266 You didn't want to either... right?

Angel and Latios searched for a long time but couldn't find any trace of the Red Butterfly Grass, so they decided to try a different place.

Suddenly, Anjie sensed a powerful waveguide rapidly approaching.

At the same time, Latios seemed to sense the danger and suddenly became alert.

Just then, a Pokémon engulfed in flames descended from the sky riding a firebird.

Upon landing, the Firebird transformed into a fireball and landed on the Pokémon's nose.

This Pokémon is entirely fiery red, covered in square scales, and its enormous mouth is surging with intense flames!

Angel looked surprised; it was actually a Bone-Patterned Crocodile! A Pokémon that is generally found in the Paradis region, and it is also one of the three Fire-type starter Pokémon in the Paradis region.

Krookodile, the Singer Pokémon, is a Fire/Ghost type. It can sing powerful yet gentle songs, and its vibrant voice can heal the hearts of listeners and also demoralize opponents.

It is said that the fireball on its nose is inhabited by a soul, possesses independent consciousness, and can even change its appearance through singing.

It was because of this fireball that the Fire-type Bone-Patterned Crocodile gained the Ghost attribute.

The firebird that the giant bone-patterned crocodile was riding must have been transformed from that fireball.

The moment Ange saw the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile, he immediately understood that it must be the king of the Goin Jungle. The powerful aura emanating from it was truly hard to ignore.

With that in mind, Anjie activated her Observational Eye.

After seeing it, Ange was shocked. Its level was as high as 95. It truly deserves to be called a king! It's hard to imagine that there is a Pokémon of this level in the Goin Forest.

The Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile glanced at the fallen flowers—Flower Bud, Flower Leaf Stem, and Orchid Mantis Flower—and immediately let out an angry roar.

"Roar~~~"

Anjie realized the situation was dire and immediately explained, "Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile, we..."

However, before Anjie could finish speaking, the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile launched an attack.

It sang a loud song, and the next second, raging flames transformed into a sea of ​​fire that swept towards Angel and Latios.

This is the signature move of the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile, Flame Song, which deals damage to the enemy and increases the user's Special Attack by 1 level.

Without hesitation, Latios leaped forward, and a wall of light rose in front of it, blocking all the flames coming towards it.

However, while Latios and Angel were safe, the surrounding flower fields were in a terrible state, with countless blooming flowers scorched and turned to ashes in the sea of ​​fire.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile's eyes revealed a hint of sadness, but it was quickly overwhelmed by rage.

Despicable humans!

It sang a loud song again, and rolling flames appeared.

Seeing this, Latios also unleashed its own unique skill, a dazzling and holy light bursting forth from its body and rushing towards the raging flames.

boom!!!

With a loud bang, the two skills collided and exploded in mid-air, and the scattered flames fell into the flower field, burning large swaths of flowers.

The flames of the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile are extremely hot; plants will turn to ash if they are even slightly touched.

This flower field took countless years to grow, but its destruction can happen in an instant.

Anjie felt sorry for him.

Watching the ongoing battle, he pondered for a moment, then took out a Poké Ball. With a flash of red light, Latias appeared outside.

Ange: "Latias, use Rain Dance!"

"Woo~~" Latias nodded, then a blue light flashed in his eyes, and a blue ball of light was controlled by him to fly into the sky.

As the blue orb of light exploded in the air, a deafening roar echoed across the sky. Soon after, a large number of dark clouds gathered, and before long, a torrential downpour began.

Latias's rainmaking was incredibly powerful this time; large raindrops fell rapidly, stinging people's cheeks.

Thanks to the heavy rain, the flames in the flower field gradually died down, and the remaining flowers were finally saved.

Unfortunately, the fire was too intense earlier, and most of the flower field has already been burned down.

Similarly, due to the heavy rain, the Fire-type Pokémon Korok was greatly affected. Its efficiency in controlling Fire-type energy was greatly reduced, and the power of its Fire-type moves was also much weaker than before.

However, due to the repeated use of Flame Song, the Bone-Patterned Crocodile's Special Attack was greatly enhanced, making up for some of the negative effects of the rain. Latios was unable to defeat it immediately.

Latias wanted to help when he saw this, but Latias shook his head and refused.

It doesn't want anyone else to interfere in its battle with the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile.

Because it was raining, Latios didn't hesitate to use Thunder.

It's guaranteed to happen during thunderstorms.

Boom! Golden lightning flashed across the sky.

At this moment, the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile had given up using fire-type skills, and a huge black energy ball was seen condensing in its mouth.

As the golden lightning descended from the sky, it opened its mouth and spat out a black energy ball, which smashed directly into the lightning.

The lightning bolt and the shadow orb collided, and with a deafening roar, the two skills exploded.

Thanks to its increased Special Attack and STAB power boost, Krookodile, despite being a lower level than Latias, managed to hold its own against Latias with a Shadow Ball (power 80) and a Thunderbolt (power 110).

At that moment, a glint flashed in Latios's eyes, and then a transparent ball of light rose into the sky without the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile noticing.

At this moment, the Bone-Patterned Crocodile launched another attack on Latios, still using Shadow Ball.

Latios moved nimbly and dodged the Shadow Ball with a quick movement.

No one expected that the Shadow Ball would strike the unconscious Hua Beibei, Hua Yedi, and Lan Tanghua directly.

Upon seeing this, the enraged Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile instantly sobered up, a look of astonishment flashing across its face.

Ange hadn't expected this to happen and immediately shouted, "Latias!"

"Woo~~" Latias understood immediately and rushed towards Flowerbee and the others at top speed.

Fortunately, Ange and Latias were very close to Hua Beibei and the others. Just as the Shadow Ball landed, Latias arrived in time and used a light wall to protect Hua Beibei and the others behind him.

Seeing this, Anjie and the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile both breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile looked at Anjie with a hint of surprise.

Humans are despicable and ungrateful creatures; why would they help their opponent?

Before the giant bone-patterned crocodile could figure it out, two beams of light suddenly flashed across the sky, followed by two halos of light that descended from the sky and struck it one after the other.

After letting out a miserable cry, the giant bone-patterned crocodile collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up.

It turns out that Latios had just secretly used the Psychic-type move Precognition, and Precognition was activated just as the Bone-Patterned Crocodile was stunned.

Just as the giant, bone-patterned crocodile collapsed, the time for rain arrived. The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and golden sunlight shone through the clouds, gilding the dilapidated flower field with a golden glow.

Anjie wiped the rain off his face and walked towards the bone-patterned giant crocodile, soaking wet.

Having lost consciousness, the flames enveloping the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile went out, with only a small fireball on its nose still flickering gently.

Ange pried open the jaws of the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile, poured the restorative fruit juice milk into its mouth, instructed Latios to throw a healing wave at it, and then got up and walked towards Flowerbee and the others.

After feeding Hua Beibei and the others fruit juice and milk, An Jie found a secluded spot and changed out of her wet clothes.

When he returned, Hua Beibei and the others had just woken up.

Upon seeing Anjie, they trembled with fear and gathered around the unconscious Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile.

"Rabe~"

"Whoosh~"

"La la~"

The five Pokémon anxiously called out to the unconscious Korokot.

Anjie said helplessly, "You attacked me first, so if anyone should be scared, it's me!"

Upon hearing this, the orchid mantis flower quickly shielded the flower petals and three flower buds behind it, still looking wary.

Anjie continued, "I really meant no harm. I just came here to find the Red Butterfly Grass to heal my friend."

At this point, he asked Lan Mantis Flower, Flower Leaf Stem, and Flower Bud, "By the way, do you know where to find Red Butterfly Grass?"

Mantis Flower: Hmph, I won't tell you.

Flower Leaf Stem, Flower Bud: That's right, that's right!

Seeing that the five Pokémon refused to speak, Ange sighed deeply.

Since Hua Beibei and the others were unwilling to talk, An Jie had no choice but to leave and find them himself.

However, at that moment, a flower-like creature whispered, "Rabe~ Rabe~" You won't find it...

Anjie, with her sharp ears, had just overheard this muttering and asked in confusion, "Why?"

Hua Beibei was startled by An Jie's sudden turn and quickly hid behind the orchid mantis flower.

"Rabe~ Rabe~" I'm not telling you!

Anjie was caught in a dilemma: should he leave or stay...?

Just then, the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile slowly opened its eyes.

"Alright~" Human!

The Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile was very unfriendly, so Anjie quickly said, "You can't beat us, so don't make a move so easily."

"Waaah~"

"Waaah~"

Latias and Latios floated on either side of Angel, staring at the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile with awe.

The Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile recalled the scene that had almost affected Hua Beibei and the others, and instantly calmed down.

It couldn't even defeat Latios alone, let alone with Latias as well.

Continuing to take action would certainly be unwise.

"Rabe~"

"Whoosh~"

"La la~"

Flowerbee, Flowerleaf, and Orchid Mantis Flower all gathered around the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile, looking at it with concern.

It can be seen that Krookodile, as the king of the jungle, is very much loved by Pokémon.

"Okay~ Okay~" Korokoruru said that he was fine and apologized to the five Pokémon for almost hurting them and destroying the flower field.

When it saw Hua Beibei and the others unconscious, it was so angry that it lost its reason.

The five Pokémon shook their heads, indicating that it was alright. The Krookodile didn't do it on purpose; it was doing it to protect everyone in the jungle, and Flowerbee and the others could understand.

As for the flower fields, they can be replanted.

After finishing his conversation with Hua Beibei and the others, the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile looked at Anjie and said:

"Okay~ Okay~" Human, you won't get the Red Butterfly Grass from us!

In recent years, the number of red butterfly grass in the Goin jungle has been decreasing. Except for one place, there are only one or two scattered plants growing in other places.

Angie wants to gather enough Red Butterfly Grass, and only the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile can help her.

Anjie asked, "What will it take for you to give me the Red Butterfly Grass?"

The Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile sneered, "Don't even think about it! I will not hand over the Red Butterfly Grass to any human. Humans are despicable! Despicable! Ungrateful!"

Upon hearing this, An Jie became distressed; her resentment was practically reaching the heavens!

"I know you resent humans because your child was stolen, but I wasn't the one who stole your child. My friend is waiting for the Red Butterfly Grass to cure his illness. Can't you be a little more lenient?"

The Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile firmly shook its head in refusal, "Even if you beat me to death here today, I will not give you the Red Butterfly Grass!"

Anjie scratched her wet hair and said irritably, "Don't push me! If you push me too far, I'm capable of anything!"

"What do you want to do?" Upon hearing this, the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile looked at Anjie warily, while protecting Hua Beibei and the others behind it, afraid that Anjie might hurt them in a fit of anger.

Anjie asked, "You really won't give it to me?" As he spoke, his gaze gradually turned dangerous.

Fearing that Angelon might go berserk and harm other Pokémon in the jungle, the Bone-Patterned Krookodile blurted out, "Unless you can find my child!"

Anjie was stunned. "You're not kidding, are you? Your child was stolen decades ago. Where am I supposed to find him for you!"

The Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile said, "I don't care, I won't give you the Red Butterfly Grass unless you agree!"

Anjie was angry: "You..."

And so, the stalemate between the person and the Pokémon continued.

After a long silence, the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile realized that it had indeed put the other person in a difficult position, so it took a step back and said:

"I can give you the Red Butterfly Grass first, and then you can slowly help me find my child. I won't set a deadline for you, as long as you help me inquire in the human world."

Decades have passed, and the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile itself knows that finding its child is difficult, even hopeless.

But deep down, it still held onto a sliver of hope.

Fortunately, Ghost-type Pokémon have a longer lifespan than regular Pokémon, and their offspring, once they evolve to their final stage, would still be alive today.

"Okay, I'll help you find your child!" After thinking for a long time, Anjie finally agreed. "But I can only say I'll do my best. As for whether I can find him, that's up to fate."

The Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile nodded. "Alright, just do your best."

Anjie thought for a moment and said, "Then please tell me how your child was stolen, and some information about the thief, such as his appearance or name."

"Okay..." The Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile nodded upon hearing this, and then his thoughts drifted back to more than fifty years ago, and he told Anjie about what happened back then.
