Elf: No, it's because he was made the gym leader!

This smile, however, was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Xiao Lan frozen in place.

Stop!

There are already enough cancers!

Skarmory, with its Steel/Flying attribute combination, shows you what resistance is, and its 140 base Defense stat shows you what it means to be durable.

As a bird in the famous joint defense system of bird egg flower swamp steel, the armored bird, like the chuck egg, enjoys the reputation of being "as beautiful as Nanshan".

This is exactly the kind of talent my dojo needs.

Led by Christal, Lu Yuan and his group arrived at a canyon near Manjin City.

"There are currently 108 armored birds living here. They are practically the rulers of this place, so there are very few people or elves here."

In a patch of grass, Christal explained to everyone.

"Most fierce elves are territorial, and you'll need to rely on your own strength to subdue them."

Since social Pokémon usually stick together, it's best to find a lone one to capture.

As Kristall spoke, she pointed to an armored bird hunting in the distance and continued.

"Look, there's a lone armored bird over there. Lu Yuan, would you like to...?"

As she spoke, Christal turned around and found that Lu Yuan had disappeared.

???

"Hmm? Where is Lu Yuan?"

Xiao Lan gestured for her to look ahead: "Look, it's right in front of you."

Looking in the direction Little Blue pointed, Kristall was surprised to find that Lu Yuan had actually ventured into the armored bird's territory all by himself.

His swaggering manner instantly attracted the attention of many armored birds.

In an instant, the armored birds that had been busy stopped what they were doing and all turned to look at the intruder who had suddenly appeared.

Immediately afterwards, a large flock of armored birds took to the air, circling and dancing in mid-air, as if issuing a warning to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan swaggered into the armored bird's territory all by himself.

Just then, the largest of the armored birds slowly landed in front of Lu Yuan.

Its sharp eyes, like two beams of cold light, stared down at Lu Yuan, exuding a chilling aura of majesty.

"Come back quickly, Lu Yuan! Armored birds eat meat!"

Kristall shouted anxiously from behind.

But he was too far away to hear it.

The armored bird opened its large beak and licked Lu Yuan's face.

It smells so good, hehe, it smells so good~

Oh no, Lu Yuan is going to be eaten!

Seeing this scene, a thought flashed through Christal's mind.

"It itches, stop licking me." Lu Yuan pushed away the armored bird's foul-smelling beak. That's the downside of wild elves—they don't like to brush their teeth.

He took out an energy cube he always carried with him from his pocket and said, "This is what you want, isn't it?"

"Hey!"

The armored bird nodded repeatedly, opened its beak, and waited for Lu Yuan to feed it.

This reminded Lu Yuan of the scene when he first met Patchlitz.

"I can't do anything with you, here you go, take it all." With that, he threw the energy cube in his hand into the armored bird's beak.

With his "naturally enchanting body" and wielding an energy cube, as long as Lu Yuan doesn't go too far, the wild elves won't make things too difficult for him.

"Is it delicious? Would you like some more?"

Lu Yuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

The armored bird nodded hurriedly, its mouth seemingly still savoring the sweet and delicious taste of the energy cube.

"Oh dear, this is a problem. So many mouths in my backyard are waiting to be fed, and I don't have many energy cubes..."

As he spoke, he deliberately revealed a hint of helplessness.

In fact, thanks to the machine in the warehouse, energy cubes could already be mass-produced.

But the armored bird didn't know that, seeing Lu Yuan's appearance, it flapped its wings with some difficulty.

If it hadn't eaten that energy cube, it wouldn't have mattered, but now that it had swallowed it, the intoxicating taste instantly conquered its taste buds.

It's so delicious! Compared to this, what's the difference between what I ate before and what I ate? It's like poop!

Having tasted the finest delicacies of the imperial palace, who would want to go back to being a beggar and eating scraps?

Why don't you take me in?

The armored bird had a sudden inspiration.

"Oh no, no no!" Lu Yuan was shocked and waved his hands repeatedly in refusal. "You look like the leader here. What will happen to them if you leave?"

So what should I do?

The armored bird looked somewhat disappointed, its head drooping in confusion.

"I do have a plan, but..."

What trick? Tell me, tell me now!

The armored bird eagerly flapped its wings.

"Why don't you move?"

Ga?

Lu Yuan retrieved the illustration, and Crystal appeared behind him without him noticing.

"You, you'll take them all!"

"Yeah, is there a problem?" Lu Yuan asked, puzzled.

"No, it's nothing..."

This was the first time she had ever seen someone tame elves like this, managing to tame an entire family of them.

Who is the "capturer" – you or me?

Kristall felt that her worldview had been shaken.

Then Lu Yuan walked up to the armored bird and took something out of his pocket, which looked like a CD.

"This is a gift for you," Lu Yuan said to the armored bird.

The three curiously leaned forward to take a look, only to see the words "highly poisonous" written on the disc.

Xiao Lan: "......"

Kristall: "......"

Akin: "......"

No, what kind soul would let a Skarmory learn Poisonous?

The next day.

Today, the weather in Wutong Town is fine and sunny, a perfect day for the battle.

The dojo opened its doors early, welcoming its first challenger.

A young man with a "Shamate" hairstyle.

He glanced at the prominent sign in front of the dojo, which read, "Wutong Dojo, welcome."

"Hmph, so this is the place? Here I come!"

The young man with the "Shamate" hairstyle smirked, revealing a hint of disdain.

He walked towards the dojo entrance with his hands in his pockets.

With a muffled thud, the dojo door was slowly pushed open, but instead of the lively scene or warm welcome he had imagined, he was greeted by a hideous and terrifying ghost face.
