Elf: I Am a Farmer

"Hehe, I never expected to find so many rare elves in such an unassuming farm!"

With Sabrina's psychic powers, Giovanni and several of his subordinates instantly teleported from the spacecraft to in front of Chiba Kaede. After surveying the group of Pokémon who looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, he remarked with some emotion.

"Why are you forcing me? If you withdraw from Chiba Farm now, I can pretend nothing happened!"

Chiba Kaede looked intently at Sakaki and the others, then spoke slowly and deliberately.

"What did you say, kid? You're way too arrogant!"

Sabrina could no longer suppress her anger. A powerful superpower appeared around her, and she would attack Chiba Kaede at Sakaki's command.

"Alright, Naz, calm down for a moment, let me talk to him first!"

Sakaki wasn't angry after hearing Chiba Kaede's threatening words. Instead, he admired the boy's courage and stopped Sabrina from acting out.

"snort!"

After the leader spoke, Naz only snorted coldly at Chiba Kaede, but still suppressed the powerful mental fluctuations on her body.

"Young man, your abilities have earned my recognition. I'd like to invite you to join Team Rocket and become a senior executive. What do you think?"

Although Giovanni has a serious face, he possesses a special charisma that can subtly win people over.

This aura is something Giovanni developed from being in the position of Team Rocket's leader for a long time. It's similar to a kingly aura, giving off a sense of authority without anger, making people unable to think of resisting.

This is why many members of the Rockets regard him as their spiritual leader and guiding light.

"I'm sorry, I just want to live a peaceful life on this farm and create a bright future with the elves!"

Although he felt the sincerity of Giovanni's invitation to join Team Rocket, Chiba Kaede did not intend to live a life of being driven by others.

So without thinking for too long, Chiba Kaede directly rejected Sakaki's invitation, even though it might anger him.

"If this is your choice, then I will respect your opinion. However, this would make us enemies. If you hand over Diancie, I can guarantee I won't make things difficult for you. How about it!"

After realizing he couldn't recruit Chiba Kaede, Sakaki revealed his true colors.

"You know this is impossible, Diancie, Diamond Storm!"

Knowing that the matter could not be resolved peacefully, Chiba Kaede no longer hesitated and immediately ordered Diancie beside him to launch an attack.

As if this were a signal, Chiba Kaede's group of spirits launched their own attack directly at Sakaki and his companions.

Soon, Giovanni and his group were enveloped by various skills.

"Heh, I rarely see such a decisive young man. It's a pity he won't join our Rockets team!"

Before the attack hit, Sabrina used Teleport to send them back into the aircraft.

This was something they had already considered beforehand. Since Chiba Kaede was a non-human being like a fighter, Giovanni did not intend to have a face-to-face Pokémon battle with him.

"Let's begin, real bird!"

Then, Sakaki spoke to Masato, who was standing silently to the side.

"Understood, Boss!"

After responding, Masahiro pressed a button on a certain device.

Then an unusual fluctuation spread outwards from an instrument resembling a signal generator.

"What's wrong with you all?"

Chiba Kaede noticed that the Great Swallow clan, which had been gathered in the sky, began to fall to the ground like raindrops.

After examining the proud swallow closely, he found that the swallow's body was normal, but it seemed to have been stimulated in some way and was in a state of confusion, unable to perceive its surroundings.

Not only the Swellow clan, but also the Politoed Frog clan experienced the same situation, followed by the sea spirits brought by Milotic.

In the end, only powerful Pokémon like the Overlord Swellow were able to persevere without being disturbed.

At this moment, Chiba Kaede truly felt the power of Team Rocket's advanced technology; they had completely negated his advantage with just a simple use of a special wave.

"I bet you regret it now, but it's too late!"

Sabrina teleported back to the ground and then said with a slightly mocking tone.

Before Chiba Kaede could respond, Sabrina threw out a Dark Ball, and a legendary Pokémon Moltres appeared in mid-air.

The moment Chiba Kaede saw the Moltres, his pupils contracted sharply.

Moltres is a bird-like creature with red feathers, a straight and pointed beak, and brownish skin.

It has a long, streamlined crest and a tail that churns like flames, both of which are made of flames. Its wings are also covered with flame-shaped feathers, and its feet with separated toes are brown.

Moltres is a legendary spirit that controls fire, and it has been famous since ancient times because of the legend of the firebird.

It is said that when Moltres is injured, it will enter the lava in the crater and burn its entire body to heal its wounds.

It soars above everything in its sight with its orange, burning wings, and sparks fly the moment it flaps its wings.

With a flap of its wings, the flamingo's feathers burst into bright flames, the red flames possessing a beauty that stirs the soul of anyone who witnesses it.

When it flaps its fiercely burning wings, even the night sky will be lit up.

Legend has it that it uses its beautiful, burning wings to light up mountain paths and rescue people in distress.

It is said that snow-covered countries where the Moltres has appeared will be the first to enter spring, and it is known as a legendary spirit that flew from the south with spring.

Soon, Chiba Kaede noticed the abnormality of the flamingo in front of him. He found that the flamingo's eyes were very empty and dull, and there was a black collar around its neck.

Through these clues, Chiba quickly realized that the Moltres in front of him was clearly under Team Rocket's control.

However, knowing all this is of no use; he will still face the Moltres's attack unless he can break the collar that controls the Moltres.

After releasing Moltres, Sabrina didn't stop there; she also released a host of Psychic-type Pokémon, including Alakazam, Espeon, Slowking, Metagross, and more.

Clearly, Sabrina learned from her previous experience and no longer dared to underestimate Chiba Maple, so she brought her main Pokémon with her.

Knowing that Chiba Kaede could resist her mental control, Sabrina did not intend to directly control him to end the battle, but instead planned to defeat him with the strength of Moltres and her Pokémon.

This Moltres was naturally a loan from Giovanni to her. Team Rocket had spent a lot of manpower and resources, and even lost many members' lives, in order to capture and control Moltres, but they still managed to capture it successfully.

In Giovanni's view, all these losses were well worth it. Since they got the Moltres, it has become much easier for them to catch other legendary Pokémon.

Although controlling Moltres with instruments doesn't unleash its full power, its presence significantly weakens legendary Pokémon, making them much easier to capture. (End of Chapter)
