Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 124 Accidentally Entering Team Magma's Base

Chiba, Ash, and the others walked for another ten minutes or so, finally arriving at the pier on the other side of Gonkara Island. With less than ten minutes left before the ferry to Mossdeep City departed, everyone quickly bought tickets and boarded, not wanting to miss their flight. ♡💣 ❻➈丂ⓗยⓧ.𝓒σ𝓶 💙💝

"You guys can enjoy the breeze on deck for a bit; I need to go rest in my cabin!"

"Okay, go and get some rest!"

Because Chiba had just overexerted herself and hadn't used her abilities to heal her muscle soreness, she suggested going to her room in the cabin to rest first, while Ash and the others wanted to enjoy the breeze and the sea view on the deck.

After arriving at the cabin, Chiba Kaede quickly found her own room, a small room of only a few square meters, but it felt alright.

"Phew, that feels so much better!"

After closing the door, Chiba Kaede couldn't wait to use his life energy to heal his body. As the life energy flowed throughout his body, relieving the soreness in his muscles, he couldn't help but let out a comfortable cry.

After the treatment was completed, Chiba Kaede clenched his fist tightly. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt full of power, stronger than before.

Since there was no force gauge to measure it, Chiba Kaede didn't know if it was just his imagination. If strength could be continuously increased through practicing body-strengthening techniques, at least it would prevent him from being easily pulled into the water by the power of the spirits when fishing.

"Oh no! Someone has fallen into the water!"

Chiba Kaede drifted off to sleep, not knowing how long he slept, when he heard a woman's voice shouting something, which immediately put him on alert. 😲♞ ❻➈şнù𝐗.Ćᗝ𝓶 ✋♖

However, Chiba Kaede suddenly seemed to remember something and woke up. He quickly ran to the deck to check, and when he arrived, he found that some passengers had already gathered around.

"I just saw two groups of people fighting over a Pikachu. Then Pikachu probably couldn't take it anymore and released a lot of electricity, causing an explosion that sent both groups flying. Now you can't even see them anymore."

A middle-aged woman was recounting what had happened. When she got emotional, she would pretend to wipe away tears that weren't there, as if she were grieving for the person who had fallen into the water.

After listening to her account, Chiba Kaede was certain that the people who flew out were Team Rocket and Ash. However, he now only had two choices.

One option is to ride the Swellow to find Ash and his friends, and then ride with them on Lapras to Mossdeep City. Another option is to pretend you don't know anything about it and go directly to Mossdeep City by boat.

As for Ash and his friends' safety, he wasn't really worried. After all, they had survived so many dangers as the main characters, and this time would definitely be no exception.

After thinking for a while, Chiba Kaede decided to go find Satoshi and the others. After all, they were now friends. It was one thing for them not to know that they were in trouble, but to act as if nothing had happened after learning that they were in trouble was a matter of character.

Then, Chiba Kaede released the Great Swallow and, to the astonishment of the many passengers, rode it directly into the distance.

Since they didn't know which direction Ash and his friends had fallen, Chiba could only send Swellow to patrol the surrounding waters, hoping to find any trace of Ash and his friends.

However, it's getting darker and darker. If he can't find Ash and the others soon, he'll have to rest on Lapras's back until it's completely dark and continue searching when it gets light tomorrow.

"Come out, Laplace!"

It was now completely dark, and the sea was completely obscured from the sky. Therefore, Chiba Kaede had no choice but to rest on Laplace's back for the night. He didn't regret it, after all, one can't live a life where one only thinks of oneself.

"Laplace, I'm counting on you tonight!"

Chiba Kaede patted Laplace's head and then said gently.

Laplace nodded, then gently nuzzled Chiba Kaede with its head to show that it understood.

Of course, besides Laplace, Chiba also has Gastly to keep watch for him, so there are no safety issues.

Time flew by, and it was already past 6 a.m. the next morning. Chiba Kaede hadn't slept well that night, and almost fell into the sea several times, so she wasn't in a very good state.

After a short rest, Chiba Kaede rode on the Swellow to continue searching for Ash and his friends. Fortunately, his efforts paid off, and half an hour later, he finally found Ash and his friends floating on the sea, clinging to a few pieces of wood.

"Waaah, Xiaofeng, you finally found us! I'm practically bloated from being soaked in water!"

Xiao Yao was weakly hugging a wooden stake, but when she saw Qianye Feng above her head, she immediately perked up and shouted.

"Are you all alright?"

At this moment, Chiba Kaede had already rescued Ash and the others and put them on Lapras's back. Looking at the group, who were soaking wet, he asked them with concern.

"Thank goodness you found us, otherwise we would have been in big trouble!"

Xiao Gang said, still somewhat shaken.

On this vast and boundless sea, if they are not discovered, they will be in real trouble.

While the group was chatting, they suddenly noticed a huge black shadow emerging from the water. Soon after, they discovered a massive red submarine below them. Since it had already left the water, Chiba Kaede recalled Lapras into its Poké Ball.

Just as they were wondering what was going on, they noticed that the hatch of the submarine above them suddenly opened, and a member of Team Lava in a red uniform was looking around. After realizing something was wrong, the group quickly hid to avoid being discovered.

"How did Team Lava get here? And what's more, we even boarded their submarine! These past two days have been incredibly unlucky!"

Xiao Yao complained somewhat dejectedly.

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, a huge steel warship suddenly appeared in front of them, and their submarine was rapidly heading towards a gap in the warship.

After the submarine docked, Chiba Kaede found that the surrounding area was full of Team Lava. As expected, they had been discovered by them. However, before the situation became clear, he did not intend to do anything rash.

Faced with the menacing wolfhound baring its teeth at them and the Lava Team members surrounding them, the group could only raise their hands in surrender.

"My name is Crimson Pine, and I'm the leader of Team Lava. I have no intention of harming you. As long as you stay on the ship, I guarantee you'll be fine!"

"Red Flame Pine said with a smile."

In fact, he didn't take the teenagers' accidental intrusion to heart, nor did he intend to harm them further. He simply planned to keep them under temporary surveillance until his plan was accomplished.

Then, Crimson Pine completely ignored them and began discussing the battle plan with the Ocean Team with his subordinates, utterly disregarding the fact that they were listening in.

However, his performance also relieved Chiba Kaede; it was best not to risk his life.

I don't know if it's because Pineapple has a crush on Ash, but she actually told him about the purpose of creating Team Magma, and that they had captured the ancient Pokémon Kyogre, and even brought out the Blue Orb that is said to have been made by the ancients to control Kyogre.

Just as Red Pine and Ash were arguing about how great their ideals were, suddenly, a Team Magma member ran in and reported that a Team Aqua member had infiltrated the giant ship.

Shortly afterward, the alarm lights on the wall suddenly flashed, and then Red Flame Pine received bad news from his subordinates: there was a problem with the container holding Gaioka.

Even the usually calm and collected Crimson Pine's expression changed drastically. Team Magma had only managed to suppress Kyogre with great difficulty, and if it were to escape, the consequences would be unimaginable.
