Chapter 476 Oh my, isn't this the Calyrex? Haven't seen it in hundreds of years, it's gotten so bad?
Although they are poor, the elves here still have some ambition.
The wild Pokémon lined up in orderly rows, without any scrambling or fighting.
Most of them are Ice-type Pokémon like Boar, Sneasel, and Snorunt, which are not particularly powerful.
They lined up quietly, waiting for their turn to receive a piece of food.
Some of the bolder ones would even nod to the staff at the window, as if to express their gratitude.
Xia Chi found it quite interesting and stood aside to observe for a while before turning around to continue his stroll.
Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to something.
That was at the very back of the line.
A "Nura" was standing there, queuing up with the other elves.
At first glance, it doesn't seem special.
But after Xia Chi's gaze lingered on it for a second, she realized that it didn't seem to be... Nyra?
He squinted and observed carefully.
This "Nura" is about the same size as a regular Nura, with dark blue fur, white paws and ears, and does indeed look like a Nura.
But its head... is too big.
Although Nyarlathotep's head is not small, it is still in proportion to her body.
But this "Nura's" head is noticeably larger than a normal Nura's, and in an unnatural way.
It's like... like something was crammed into Nyura's suit, but her head couldn't fit, so it just stretched out a bit.
Xia Chi touched his chin.
This design looks so familiar.
He stared at the "Nura" for a long time, and the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.
The "Nura" seemed to notice his gaze, and turned its head slightly to glance in his direction.
They glanced at it briefly, then quickly turned back and continued queuing as if nothing had happened.
But that fleeting glimpse sent a jolt through Xia Chi's heart.
Xia Chi subconsciously extended his waveguide power, and the result he received surprised him slightly.
A fluctuation of energy that is a mixture of Grass and Psychic types.
The two properties intertwine to form a unique energy frequency.
This fluctuation...
Could it be... that turnip?
He stood there, stunned, his eyes fixed on the "Nura" that was queuing up.
The guy continued to stand in line as if nothing was wrong, his small body squeezed among a group of real Nymphs, looking completely inconspicuous.
Xia Chi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Good heavens, so you were here.
The mighty King of Abundance, the legendary ruler who once ruled the Crown Plateau—
Now, disguised as a Nyx Asura, is someone queuing up at the Alliance's free distribution point to collect relief food?
Xia Chi's lips twitched slightly.
This scene looks surreal no matter how you look at it.
He didn't rush to act; he just watched quietly.
Watching the "Nura" slowly move forward with the queue, gradually approaching the pick-up window.
The surrounding Nymphs clearly didn't notice anything unusual, continuing to line up as usual, occasionally nuzzling each other and making soft noises.
They didn't know that the person queuing up with them was the former king of this land.
Xia Chi looked at this scene and suddenly felt like laughing.
He wanted to see what this king, disguised as Nyarlathotep, was up to.
Are they really here to collect relief food?
Or is there some other intention?
"Koike, what's wrong?"
Grandma Kanna saw Xia Chi standing still, looking on, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
She followed Xia Chi's gaze and saw only a group of wild Pokémon queuing up, nothing special.
Xia Chi shook his head, looked away, and a nonchalant smile appeared on his face.
"It's alright, Grandma, we just saw an interesting elf. You can continue your stroll."
Grandma Connor nodded upon hearing this, asked no further questions, and continued walking forward with her cane.
It's perfectly normal for a trainer to be interested in a Pokémon.
Thinking about it carefully, perhaps it is precisely because they want to catch new Pokémon that trainers would think of coming to this remote and barren place.
Otherwise, who would travel all that way to this godforsaken place?
After Grandma Connor left, Xia Chi wandered around the neighborhood by herself, staring at the scary thing without moving.
It might scare away the Nymph that is suspected to be a Calycanthus.
He wandered between the stalls, seemingly selecting goods, but his gaze would occasionally drift towards the queue.
After walking around for about ten minutes, we finally reached the front of the line for Big Head Nyula.
Xia Chi's gaze drifted over again.
The big-headed Nymph walked to the window of the collection point, stood on tiptoe, and stuck one of its little paws inside. Its height was about the same as that of an ordinary Nymph, and the window was a bit high for it.
The staff member at the window was a young man, wearing the league's uniform, with a standard professional smile on his face.
"Here, this is yours."
He handed Big Head Nyula a box of Power Cubes.
That was relief food distributed free of charge by the Alliance; one box was enough for an ordinary elf to eat for more than ten days.
Logically, once you've received the items, you should leave.
But Big Head Nyula didn't leave.
It took the energy cube box, but didn't leave immediately. Instead, it continued to tiptoe, sticking its little paws inside, making "woo-woo" sounds.
The meaning is obvious—can I have another box?
The staff member was taken aback for a moment.
He glanced at Big Head Nura, then at the box of Power Cubes in its hand, and his face darkened.
"You've already received yours, one elf, one box. Do you understand the rules?"
Big-headed Nyula was unwilling to give up and continued to bark, its little paws still waving back and forth in the window, trying to grab another box.
The young man's face darkened even more.
He had worked in the league for so many years and had seen some shameless wild Pokémon, but he had never seen one this shameless.
"Go away, that's all!"
He waved him away, saying, "If you cause trouble again, I won't send it to you next time!"
Seeing that he couldn't get it, Big Head Nyula had no choice but to give up.
It held the box of energy cubes, turned around, and prepared to leave.
But in the instant it turned around, its gaze inadvertently glanced in a certain direction.
That's the direction Xia Chi is in.
His gaze lingered on Xia Chi for less than a second before quickly shifting away. He then nonchalantly skipped away, clutching the box.
But that one glance was enough for Xia Chi to be certain that this guy had definitely noticed his attention.
As expected of a former king, his perception is incredibly sharp.
Big-headed Nura didn't leave very fast; she hopped and skipped like a real Nura, sometimes stopping to sniff the snow, sometimes looking up at the sky.
But Xia Chi knew it was testing the waters.
To test whether anyone is following it.
He thought for a moment and decided not to use waveguide power to lock onto that energy level of tracking, as it would be easily detected by an existence of the level of the Rachelon King.
Although its strength is not what it used to be, what if it is?
Xia Chi called over Bictini, who was looking around.
"Bictigini".
Xia Chi called out softly.
Bictini's ears twitched, and it turned its head to see Xia Chi waving at it. It immediately flapped its little wings and flew over.
"Tini?"
It tilted its head, its large, sky-blue eyes filled with confusion.
Xia Chi crouched down and lowered his voice, saying, "I'm giving you a task."
Bictini's eyes lit up.
Task!
It loves missions the most!
"See that Neura with the huge head over there?"
Xia Chi pointed in the direction Big Head Nyula had left, "Follow it invisibly and see where it goes and what it does, but be careful not to let it spot you."
Bictini followed his finger and saw the big-headed Nura hopping away.
It blinked.
"Tini?"
Although he didn't know why Xia Chi wanted him to do this, the little guy never refused anything interesting like this.
It nodded quickly, its little face full of excitement.
"Tinnitini!"
Leave it to me!
After it finished speaking, its body gradually became transparent and finally disappeared completely into the air.
Only Xia Chi can sense its location through waveguide power.
The little guy was flying in the direction that Big Head Nura had left, at a moderate speed, maintaining a safe distance.
As he watched the little guy set off, he used his aura to remind him, "Remember not to let that guy find you."
Bictini's response came quickly.
"Tini~"
There was a hint of smugness in his voice.
Don't worry, I'm a professional at tailing people~
Summer Pond:
'
'
No, is that the kind of serious talk a proper elf should be saying?
Using waveguides to track Big Head Nura could be risky and could lead to discovery.
That kind of energy-level probing is as obvious as a searchlight in the dark to beings with keen perception.
But tracking Bictini is no problem at all.
The little guy's ability to hide is innate, and coupled with its lively and carefree nature, even if it is discovered, it can pretend to be a wild Pokémon that happened to be passing by.
Xia Chi rode on the equally invisible Latias, following far behind Bictini.
From the ground, it looked as if someone was floating in the sky. After Latias became invisible, only Xia Chi's body was visible, and the scene was indeed a bit eerie.
However, in such a desolate place, no one would be so bored as to look at the little black dot in the sky.
Latias flew steadily at a low speed, maintaining a sufficient altitude to avoid being detected by any potential sensors below.
Xia Chi sat on her back, his aura spreading silently like a spider web, locking onto Victini's location ahead.
Big-Headed Nyula isn't very fast.
It hopped and skipped on the snow, sometimes stopping to sniff the air, sometimes looking back, showing a high degree of alertness.
Several times it suddenly stopped and looked back for a long time before continuing forward after confirming that there was nothing wrong.
But Bictini followed very cleverly.
It always kept its distance, using the cover of trees and rocks, and never appeared directly within Nyula's perception range.
And so they chased each other for almost half an hour.
Finally, Big Head Nura arrived at a place far away from Frozen Village.
This is a sparse woodland, with trees that are not tall but are dense enough.
There was a small clearing in the woods, covered with snow, and it looked quite ordinary.
Big-headed Nyula stopped at the edge of the open space.
It looked around and only felt relieved after confirming that there was nothing unusual in the surroundings.
Then, it placed the box of power cubes on the ground.
He then raised his head and called out a few times towards the woods.
The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet snow-covered forest.
"Waaah—"
'
After a few calls, there was movement in the woods.
First, a small white figure peeked out from behind the tree.
It is a snowman.
Immediately afterwards, more figures emerged from the woods.
Sneezing Bear, Ice Baby, and one...
Xia Chi's gaze sharpened slightly.
That was an Ice Six-Tailed Beast.
Its pale blue fur blended almost seamlessly into the snow.
Its six tails are fluffy and soft, swaying gently with its movements.
This type of Pokémon is extremely rare in the Galar region; they usually only appear in the snowy mountains of the Alola region.
Several little creatures ran to Big Head Nura's side, formed a circle, and stared longingly at the box of energy cubes on the ground.
His eyes screamed two words: "I'm hungry."
Big-headed Nyula opened the energy cube box with its paws and pushed it forward, gesturing for them to eat.
But the little ones didn't speak immediately.
They looked at each other, then at Big Head Nyula.
Snow Child stretched out his little hand, pointed to the Energy Cube, and then pointed to Big Head Nura.
The meaning is clear: you eat first.
Big-headed Nyula shook his head.
They indicated that they had already eaten there and were not hungry.
The little ones were relieved and started eating.
Snow Child picked up an energy cube and nibbled on it in small bites, but very quickly.
The sneezing bear buried its head directly into the box and stuffed large mouthfuls of food into its mouth.
Bingbao was a little more refined, but she still ate very quickly.
Ice Sixtails was the slowest. It seemed a bit shy, looking around while eating, showing a high level of alertness.
A box of energy cubes, enough for an ordinary elf to eat for several days, was quickly devoured by the few little guys.
After they finished eating, they licked their lips with lingering satisfaction, their eyes still fixed on the empty box, as if they were still expecting something.
Looking at them in this state, Big-Headed Nyula felt a pang of heartache in his eyes.
It stretched out its paw and patted each of their little heads, as if to comfort them.
It's okay, I'll bring you some next time.
Xia Chi observed this scene from afar in the sky using his waveguide power.
He finally understood why the Rachelon had wanted more Power Cubes.
The feelings weren't for myself, but for these little guys.
It's obvious that it has nothing to do with these elves.
This care is purely out of kindness.
Time may have diminished its power, but it has not eroded its benevolent heart.
As Xia Chi watched this scene, a complex mix of emotions welled up within him.
The former king, now struggling to feed himself, is still taking care of these homeless little ones.
Is this the legendary King of Abundance?
The heartwarming scene didn't last long.
As Xia Chi was pondering, an unexpected event occurred.
A figure suddenly darted out from the shadows.
The speed was so fast that the movements were almost invisible.
All that could be seen was a dark shadow streaking across the snow, carrying a terrifying energy blade, heading straight for Big Head Nura.
Sneak attack!
The Crowned King's senses are extremely sharp.
Its body reacted the instant the figure appeared.
Although most of his power had dissipated, he was still the former king of the Crown Snowfield, and his fighting instincts were ingrained in his bones.
It suddenly darted to the side.
The energy blade grazed past it, slicing down almost touching its fur.
boom-!
The sharp blade exploded on the snow behind it, creating a crater several meters in diameter, scattering snow and dirt everywhere.
Big-headed Nyula steadied himself and looked coldly at the attacker.
That was a general wielding a broadsword.
Clad in armor and wielding two swords, he exuded a chilling aura.
This type of Pokémon usually only appears in the Padina region, and there is no way that there could be a wild population in the Crown Tundra.
Xia Chi, who was observing from the sky, frowned.
Clearly, the appearance of a Pokémon that is not commonly seen in the Crown Tundra means that this ambush was not a typical wild encounter in the Pokémon world.
It is more likely a premeditated sneak attack.
