In order to participate in the Johto Alliance meeting held in the Johto area, Ikki and Leo, as well as Celia and Hana-Ling, who have never left each other, say goodbye to the recent explosion of the Elf Center in front of their eyes, and travel on the way to the first gym: the Kikyo Gym.

Anyway, Ikki didn't expect to get information from Hua Ling, who didn't investigate anything, and the specific information of the gym could only be learned from the locals after arriving in Kikyo City.

I don't know if it's an illusion, whether it's Ikki or Leo Road, I feel that the distance between towns in the Johto area seems to be ...... It's farther than the Kanto side......

"I'm talking about Ikki......" Leolu squatted on the branches of the trees that could be found everywhere in the forest, looking at Ikki who was scorched under the trees rather tiredly, "Are you really not wrong about the map?"

"Uh......" Ikki spun the map in his hand again, looked at his surroundings, and finally showed an embarrassed smile on his face, "Looks like ...... It should be. ”

Leolu simply slapped himself on the forehead and jumped off the tree on his back.

"Eh, eh?!, are we lost, QAQ?"

Hua Ling seemed to understand the situation, and came up in a panic.

"You're right, we're really lost, and we've been lost for a long time!"

Leo Lu sat on the grass and said helplessly to Hua Ling.

"It seems...... We...... Arrive...... Town, time...... Again...... Extended ......"

Celia walked over slowly, pulled her skirts together, and sat down next to Leo.

"yes...... The arrival time in Kikyo City is delayed again. ”

Leo Lu sighed, and now that he thought about it, wasn't the protagonist of Ash the alliance challenge that he completed while getting lost and rushing. Looking at the journey of your group now, you can be considered lucky. With few people getting lost, and Ash is still challenging the Orange Islands, Ikki has an unusually good amount of time for now.

"I'm really sorry...... "I'm really sorry," Ikki finally gave up, folded the map neatly and put it in his bag, and found a tree to sit down, "I'm sorry for everyone, but let's recover a little bit of strength for the time being......"

"That's all there is to it," Leo Lu nodded, turned sideways to let the little girl next to him lean against him, and then stretched out his paw towards Ikki, "Ikki, lend me your illustrated book!"

Hua Ling's attributes were very convenient in this situation, even if she saw everything Leolu had done, she would not say it so casually as a strange thing she had seen.

Leolu slowly pressed the small buttons on the illustrated book with the ball of flesh on his paws, and looked at the various pictures on them, which were either lit up or dimmed, and he suddenly remembered a key question.

"Ikki, how about you go and subdue a flying elf?"

Thinking of Ash's experience of getting lost so often, Leolu realized that the lucky boy didn't just rely on a few luck and definitely excellent flying elves to get out of the predicament, isn't it?

"Flying Department, yes, why didn't I think of this!" Ichiki looked at the trees around him, and his unignited enthusiasm slowly cooled, "But for me to accept something...... It's not such a simple question~"

Leo Lu shrugged: "It's okay, I'm just saying, it's up to you to decide whether to do it or not." ”

Unconsciously, Leo Lu also adapted to this kind of life, and many things were slowly tolerated.

Even if Ikki doesn't take in new partners to solve the problem of getting lost, Leolu doesn't mind at all, even he can do it, but time may be wasted more.

"But Kazuki," Leo said fixedly at Kazuki, who was sitting under the tree, "next time you can leave the task of reading the map to me or Selia, it's safer......"

This made Yihui stunned for a few seconds, then looked at Hua Ling who was resting with his eyes closed, and nodded helplessly: "Okay, that's the only way to go......" But he didn't give up and explained: "I'm just a little easy to get lost in the forest, and I still know the way when I get to the town!"

Leolu nodded, but didn't agree: "Let's talk about this later." ”

Taking the map from the somewhat battered Kazuki, Leo Lu handed it directly to Selia, and slowly continued to check the information in the illustrated book. It's just that now, Leolu is more inclined to the elven information of the flight department.

The sky was a little gloomy, but it didn't look like it was going to rain, and the temperature was a little lower because there was a wind mixed with water vapor blowing through the forest.

Leolu tugged at his overly long scarf and handed the excess to Celia.

The girl did not hesitate, silently took Leolu's scarf and leaned closer to him.

In fact, to be honest, if Leo Lu had been able to convince Kazuki earlier, maybe the loss this time would not have been so serious. If it weren't for Yihui's eagerness to "make up for his mistakes", he might not insist on leading the way.

Leolu gritted his teeth. Maybe he's a little too Ikki...... Either way, it was Leolu's own mistake.

"Hey, the following !!" At this time, a discordant voice suddenly appeared in the forest, and it was very loud, "Do you know the direction of Kikyo City?"

The resting crowd raised their heads at the same time and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

I saw a person in the air riding a flying elf swooping down towards their location at a high speed.

Regardless of the origin of this person, Leolu's brow furrowed just by seeing this scene.

To be able to dive so quickly and quietly, this elf is definitely highly trained, and this trainer is definitely not an idle person.

The two of them landed quickly, and the hurricane that set off before landing caused Kazuki and Leo to involuntarily raise their arms (claws) to block their eyes.

And Hua Ling didn't react as if she was really asleep, and Selia didn't mind at all.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. ”

The trainer jumped to the ground and said to Ikki in a very gentle tone as he slowly walked towards them.

Ikki lowered the arm that was blocking his eyes and nodded slightly at the comer.

"Nothing. ”

The clothes of the people in front of me are very distinctive.

It's not that he's the kind of person who is in fashion for it, but he looks like a hermit in the mountains, but he is still very young and has a very good appearance.

His clothes were light blue, his waist was tied firmly to his body, his hairstyle was quite unique, some of them covered his eyes, but it didn't seem to affect him, and his shoes were just very retro clogs, and even the sound of walking on the grass was a little louder than the three of them combined.

"Do you know the way to Kikyo City? I have an important business to go there right now, and it would be great if I could ask for your help!"

He didn't see it yet, but judging by his anxious situation, there should really be something that happened that he needed to do......

Just as Ikki was hesitating to agree, Leolu beside him suddenly tugged at his clothes from behind him......

……

"Well, I think we can really help you," Ikki suddenly answered the man's question affirmatively, "but on the other hand, you have to do us a favor too!"

The man was also refreshing, and before Yihui finished speaking, he nodded frequently: "Okay, no problem." I'll definitely help!"

As he spoke, he reached inside his clothes, apparently fumbling for money or something.

"No, no, you misunderstood!" Ikki felt that if he didn't explain again, he would really have to come up with something in return, so he walked up to stop him, "Actually, our destination is also Kikyo City, but we got lost here, although we have a map, it doesn't help to get the exact direction in the air, so ......"

Kazuki looked at the giant elf behind the man.

The man was stunned, paused, and then smiled reassuringly: "I see, that's really a coincidence!"

After the man understood thoroughly, he beckoned behind him.

"Looks like my partner and I, Tabitori, can help with this...... Come up, let's go together!"

"That...... Thank you very much, but," Ikki pointed to the man's Tabitori, "There are more of us, Dabitori...... You can't carry that many people at once, right?"

"Hahaha, there's no need to worry about this!" He walked up to Dabi Bird and patted Dabi Bird's wings vigorously, making a very crisp sound, just like directly slapping the marble floor, "The elves of the flying system are very backbone!"

After listening to the man's proud praise, Yihui couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"That...... It shouldn't have anything to do with backbone......"

However, the man and his Obitori quickly proved to Kazuki how strong they were.

Even if it was carrying four people at the same time, the movements of the Dabi bird flying and gliding in the air did not change in the slightest, and the weight of several of them was completely insignificant for this Dabi bird, which was really amazing.

"It's really a great bird, and it's been bred very well by you!"

"Hahaha, it's over. But you're also very powerful, and there are still elves like that, which really makes me more insightful!" The man pointed to the position that was slightly behind the big bird, and looked back at Yihui with a smile, "I didn't expect it to be an elf from the flying department...... I can also show that kind of backbone!!"

It was at this time that the man thought of his negligent politeness because he was in a hurry, so he said: "Sorry for forgetting to introduce myself, I'm Ah Su, and I'm currently traveling with my backbone friends, it's nice to meet you!"

At the same time, Leolu, who was scurrying around in the forest, looked at the huge bird-like elf in the sky that was unable to catch up, and secretly gritted his teeth, but then chuckled.

"Looks like a rare opponent. If you can, it shouldn't be boring to fight him, right?"
