Chapter 54: Encounter with the Mysterious Trainer

Weaving through the trees, feeling the speed and the wind passing by your ears, from time to time you swoop past the elves that are still unknown, intermittently causing a commotion, big or small.

Leo looked up at the dark shadow in the gray sky, stared at it for a moment, and then lowered his head and hurried away.

His pace seemed to be very steady, with almost no mistakes, but in this uniform and regular pace, there was actually some confusion.

This feeling was not caused by the explosion of the Elven Center, nor for Kazuki or Selia, nor for himself.

It was a strange feeling, but Leolu knew it wasn't a good feeling, and he hated it.

If Ikki has the ability to foresee bad things, then Leolu may be able to be called a "prophet".

"It's not all bad to be like this......

Smirking self-deprecatingly, Leolu glanced up at the dark shadow in the sky again and stopped.

"Anyway, at the moment, it's still the Dabi Bird (the folk translation or any other translation translates it as the eagle, but the Dabi Bird is the official translation) is faster," he said secretly, looking at the grass under his feet and around him. Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, his eyes changed, and he looked up to confirm the direction in which Dabi Bird flew away, "Then I'll take advantage of this time...... Let's do something else!"

With a rare free time, Leolu certainly won't let go of this opportunity. Before leaving for Kikyo City, he had already explained to Ikki that he might not be able to catch up with Tabitori, so if he really couldn't catch up, he would wait for him a little.

Although Ikki was a little hesitant, for the sake of Leolu's request, he also agreed to separate temporarily. But looking at him, he looks quite lonely, probably because he can't help Leolu during this time and regrets it......

"Alright, it's time to cheer up!!"

Leo Lu patted his cheek, but he didn't move again.

He couldn't help but laugh at the thought of the place on his face where Selia's little hand had hit.

"Really, that looks like a child who is not yet ten years old!"

Considering Selia's true age and the wealth of knowledge that never revealed, Leolu was a little flustered.

“…… Well, just go back and let her pay attention......"

Only in this alone ...... When he was an elf, he had time to think about this kind of problem.

During this time of cranky thinking, Leo Road had completely deviated from the path he was supposed to take. However, because he knows the direction, he is not worried that he will get lost.

"Johto Place...... Sure enough, the environment and ecology are different from those in the Kanto region......"

Looking at the fruit trees in front of him, Leo Lu took out the fruit with special effects collected in the Kanto region from his bag and compared it repeatedly, only to confirm that it was a variety that he had never seen before.

"There's still a place in the bag, just collect some!"

That's not to say he's interested in gathering tree fruits. It is precisely because in this world that some tree fruits have the existence of different abilities that can make the elves produce different abilities, and if you can make full use of these abilities in actual combat, it will undoubtedly provide great help.

And the power that the tree fruit can provide is large and small according to the strength of the individual elves. Powerful elves use tree fruits to increase their abilities, while weak elves use the same tree fruits, but the effect is far less intense.

Anyway, at least collect it first, and study it carefully for Leo Lu to have it, not bad for this time and a half.

"Come on, little saw crocodile. [Water Gun]!"

Suddenly, Leo Lu heard an unfamiliar voice not far behind him, and his ears were keenly aware of the sound of the water, so he used his feet to almost teleport.

The [water gun] accurately hit the branch of the tree where Leo Lu was standing just now, but it only soaked a small piece of bark, and the power was not too great.

Using his feet again to remove the impetus from the instantaneous explosion just now, Leolu stood on the branch of another tree far away from the tree he had just had, looking at the man who had attacked him.

"Little Saw Crocodile, behind you. Use the [Water Gun] after this approach!"

Seeing that the momentum was not good, the other party decisively changed the plan. It's just that Leolu doesn't know why he did this, and obviously the sneak attack can't be successful, so what's the use of such an obvious tactic?

The little saw crocodile also saw Leolu's strength, his expression became serious, and he rushed towards Leo Lu with his short legs.

'It's boring......'

I thought I could finally relax alone, but I didn't expect to be careless. Although Leo Lu could escape from an opponent of this level at any time, he was a little reluctant to leave because he had not finished collecting the tree fruit just now.

So the sneak attack scene just now was repeated again, even if the little saw crocodile approached, the speed of the water gun was still too slow, compared to the fire dinosaur's jet flames, it was simply child's play.

However, during the second assault, Leolu found that the opponent's trainer was actually holding himself to death.

'Can he keep up with me?!'

He can keep up with this pace...... No coincidence.

That's where it gets interesting. ’

The strength of the little saw crocodile needs to be improved, but this trainer is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Little Saw Crocodile, prepare for the third attack!"

The opponent's trainer still didn't seem to give up, and Leolu also planned to observe this person again, so there was no superfluous movement.

"One more time, [Water Gun]!"

Third ...... It's still this low-power move, Leolu is a little disappointed.

'It seems to be nothing more than a bluff......

Then, Leolu dodged for the third time, and his figure disappeared from the branches in an instant.

"Now, little saw crocodile, turn around and fire [water guns] at the branches behind you!"

The trainer's words were quick, full of confidence and affirmation, but more of a trust in his partner.

It all happened very quickly.

Leolu was completely stunned when he heard his words, but he didn't expect that he had really fully captured the trajectory of his movements. It's not Leolu's fastest speed so far, but it's terrifying to be able to master it with just two observations. And the human being who was able to predict it so quickly was the first Leolu knew.

However, the [Water Gun] still didn't hit Leolu, but it wasn't far off.

'This boy...... It's like a monster. ’

Looking at the elves and its trainers under the trees, Leolu also decided to retreat. It's not that he doesn't have faith, it's just that he doesn't want to encounter something unexpected happening.

So he leaped as hard as he could, moving quickly away from the man.

And the trainer of the little saw crocodile looked at the moment when Leolu's figure disappeared, and his eyes became sharper and sharper.

"He ...... Did you run away? ”

Being tossed in this way, Leo Road's original relaxation plan was completely ruined, so he could only move in the direction of Kikyo City.

However, the appearance of the trainer just now kept coming to mind.

"I thought he was a rookie trainer who was in the way, but it turned out to be such a terrifying character, and now that I think about it, his eyes make people chill. The corners of Leolu's mouth raised, and the substance called passion in his heart began to burn violently, "But that kid actually has red hair...... Quite a rare ......."

Anyway, it was just an episode, and Leolu didn't care, and it didn't take long to completely forget about it.

The challenge of the Kikyo City Gym was enough to keep him busy for a while, and he didn't have time to worry about anything else at the moment.

But can it really go that smoothly?
