"Look, there's a Nidolino here!”
A few little boys and girls who looked to be around eight or nine years old gathered together and pointed at a one-meter-long Nidolino.
"Really, really, it's actually Nidolino. I want to capture it and make it my elf, becoming the first partner of a future trainer like me!”
A little boy cheered excitedly and took out a red and white sprite ball from his pocket. The sprite ball was the most common kind and was sold in the shopping malls of major cities. However, because it was cheap, the quality and ability were not that good.
The little boy threw the ball with all his might. Ninolino glanced at it and lightly touched it with the horn on his head. The ball bounced off. Because it was the cheapest ball and the power of Ninolino's horn, cracks appeared on the surface of the ball.
"Ah, that's the elf ball I bought with my lucky money!”
The little boy ran over to pick up the broken elf ball and said sadly.
"Hehe, then it's my turn next. I want to subdue this Nidolino and properly nurture it!”
After the boy failed, the other little girl also took out a sprite ball and threw it over. This time, because of the angle, she threw it very accurately. It just happened to touch Nidolino's body. The effect of the sprite ball put Nidolino into the ball. However, before the little girl could cheer, the sprite ball shattered into pieces with a cracking sound, and Nidolino ran out from it.
"My, my Elfball is broken too.”
Just like the boy, the little girl was also sad. When the other children saw this, no one dared to catch the elf anymore, afraid that their elf balls would be damaged here.
Yulong Jie secretly shook his head. Only elves who lived near humans would have such a good temper. Because of their excessive contact with humans, their wildness had almost been worn away. If they encountered these wild elves in the depths of the grasslands or forests, if they dared to throw a ball and anger them, Nidolino's horn would not look fun. He reckoned that these children would soon be turned into pitiful corpses by the furious Nidolino.
However, it was precisely because they knew that the elves near the human settlement were not dangerous that the parents of these children dared to let them out to play. Ten-year-old children still did not know the dangers of this world. If they wanted to become trainers, they would have to bear the risk of death.
"Hahaha, you can't capture the elves like this. If you want to subdue them, you have to make them weaker first before you can capture them!”
At this moment, a boy around the age of fifteen walked over. He wore a simple sleeveless coat and a hat on his head. When he came to the children's side, he attracted waves of cheers.
"Ah, it's Brother Billy!"
The children immediately surrounded him as if they had seen the king of children.
"Hehe, you guys wait and see what I can do. Go, Mosquito Frog, use your 'water gun' on this Nidolino!”
The young man called Billy adjusted his hat and threw out a sprite ball. The moment a mosquito frog appeared, it shot out a stream of water from its hand and hit Nidolino's head.
"Eh? He actually still had strength. Don't worry about Wenxiang Frog, use the 'water gun' again!”
Mosquito Frog raised its other hand and fired a water gun at Nidolino with both hands. The water not only had an impact, but it also had the destructive power of water attribute energy. The elves near the town were not very strong. Soon, Nidolino was hit until it was dizzy and lost its resistance.
Billy threw out a sprite ball. This time, it was different from before. It easily caught Nidolino.
"Look, this is the only way to catch an elf. This Nidolino is for you!”
Billy passed the Spritish Ball to a few children. One of them grabbed the Spritish Ball and ran towards Zhenxin Town. The other children saw that the item had been taken away and chased after it like a swarm of bees.
Billy laughed happily when he saw the children's laughter.
As for whether that Nidolino would listen to these children, Billy probably never considered this question.
At this moment, Billy also saw Yulong Jie. He walked over and greeted him in a very familiar manner,"Hello, are you from Zhenxin Town? I don't think I've seen you before…Wow, what is this elf? He's so handsome!”
When he saw the Flame Horse, he was excited and wanted to touch it. However, the Flame Horse snorted and spat out a string of sparks from its mouth. It glared at Billy, making him retreat with an embarrassed smile.
Looking at Billy in front of him, Yulong Jie felt very strange. Although he had watched Pokémon anime when he was young and hadn't finished watching it, he knew that Billy couldn't be so powerful. After all, Billy had the nickname of 'Little Retard'!
As for age, there was no need to worry about it. In the real world, only 15-year-olds were allowed to become trainers. If one were to travel at the age of 10, they might be killed by wild elves in less than two days. It was impossible for elf skills to not kill people. On the contrary, killing people was especially easy. Look at the poor people and elves in the Rocket Team research institute. It was the best evidence.
"Hello, your name is Billy, right? My name is Yulong Jie. I don't live in Zhenxin Town, but in the distant Oki Research Institute.”
"Big Wood Research Institute? Was it that old man who was said to be stubborn and had a strange temper?”
Billy didn't feel unfamiliar at all and started chatting with Yulong Jie.
"Stubborn and eccentric? Ha, I really don't know where you heard that, but Dr. Oki is a very good person.”
Yulong Jie shook his head in amusement. He patted the Flame Horse under him and said,""Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. I still have to buy some ingredients for dinner. Otherwise, I'll be hungry tonight.”
"Are you going to buy vegetables? Then you have to go to Auntie Tsuko in town to buy it. The vegetables she sells are cheap and delicious!”
Billy said enthusiastically.
"I know. It's not the first time I've come here to buy vegetables, but thank you for your information.”
Waving his hand at Billy, Yulong Jie ordered the Flame Horse to run into the town.
Billy also waved at Yulong Jie. After he disappeared, he picked up his sprite ball and said,"…The other party is a good person, don't you think so, Wenxiang Frog?”
Mosquito Frog raised its hand in the ball as if it agreed with Billy.
——
After buying the ingredients for dinner in Zhenxin Town, Yulong Jie returned to the Oki Research Institute not long after with the speed of the Flame Horse that was comparable to a high-speed car.
At his age, he could have been a rookie trainer. However, he had been subjected to a lot of inhumane experimental abuse in the Rocket Team Research Institute, which had made his body very weak. That was why he had stayed at Dr. Oki's place for more than a month to recuperate before setting off.
However, Yulong Jie suspected that Professor Oki had asked him to stay in the research institute for a few more days so that he could eat his cooking, not because of his health.
Night fell, and the day passed like this. Yulong Jie's eyes were tired from reading under the lamp, so he tidied up and prepared to go to bed.
Someone was coming.
All of a sudden, Super Dream's words appeared in Yulong Jie's mind. Even though the sprite orb was separated, Super Dream's superpower could detect a short distance away. The Master Orb had many functions as well. It had its own switch that could block the sprite's power inside the orb, and it could also be activated to allow the sprite inside the orb to move freely.
"Someone's there?"
The first thing that came to mind for Yulong Jie was the members of the Rocket Team. He thought that the organization had finally attacked again after resting for a month.
However, before Yulong Jie could make any preparations, he heard a young man shouting from downstairs.
"Hey, there's someone here! Someone open the door! Is this strange sprite with a seed that got lost from your family?”
The voice sounded familiar. It was Billy, whom he had met in the afternoon.
