Elves: Starting from Carlos

Chapter 157: Subdue Xiao Duer

Lillie's Vulpix was also hatched from an egg, but its origin is different from the plot. It was not given by Principal Ohki. However, it is worth mentioning that they were both obtained at the same place - Mount Lanakila.

At that time, when the Pokémon egg was discovered, it happened to hatch, and Lillie naturally became the "mother" of Vulpix.

"Lilia! Come on!"

"Come on!"

Mao and Suiren's encouraging voices echoed in Liliae's ears. She felt a warm current surge in her heart and her nervousness gradually dissipated.

She turned her head slightly, her eyes met her friends', her fists clenched in front of her chest as if to encourage herself, with a determined light in her eyes, "I will, thank you!"

Then she cast her gaze towards the sky, to the little flying creature Duer.

"Bai Gun Gun, use Fine Snow!"

Liliae immediately gave the order. Although her voice was a little trembling, it was full of determination and courage.

This was the first Pokémon battle in her life, and the nervousness in her heart was inevitable, but amidst this nervousness, there was more anticipation for the unknown and a desire for victory.

"Miao!"

Vulpix slightly raised its head, its soft tail swaying gently, its small mouth slowly opened, and a stream of icy air gushed out, like a clear stream in winter, carrying with it a biting chill and pure snow particles.

"Beiji!"

Faced with this sudden attack, Xiao Duer was unable to react for a moment. The cold wind was like a sharp blade, cutting through his body and freezing him. A thin layer of frost gradually spread from his claws.

It tried to struggle, but the frost spread faster than it could imagine, and its warm fur and skin were soon covered with a thin layer of ice.

As the frost continued to spread, its movements became slower and slower, until finally, it was completely frozen and turned into a lifelike ice sculpture, falling from the sky.

"Amazing!"

Liliae couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands, with an expression of disbelief and astonishment in her eyes.

"Miao~"

After receiving praise from "Mom", Vulpix's ears trembled slightly, as if enjoying this rare compliment. With a proud attitude, it raised its head high and squinted its eyes as if to say, "See, I am so awesome!"

However, the tail wagging happily behind it betrays its true emotions, which is a kind of joy and satisfaction that cannot be concealed.

Not far behind her, Mao looked at her in a daze and became anxious. She urged, "Lilia, throw the Poké Ball quickly!"

Liliae was brought back to reality by Mao's words. She hurriedly took out a red and white Poké Ball from her waist and was about to throw it forward.

However, at this critical moment, a crisp "click" sound brought her movement to an abrupt halt.

Xiao Duer broke free from the shackles of ice, flapped its wings and flew high in the air, emitting wisps of cold air from its body, revealing its anger, and its eyes were fixed on Vulpix below.

"Beiji! Beiji!"

The wings radiated a dazzling white light, and as the wings flapped rapidly, crescent-shaped wind blades flew out from the edges of the wings, tearing through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, and rushing straight towards the Vulpix.

The sharp wind blades exploded and hit the ground, making a thunderous sound that echoed in the empty battlefield. At the same time, the shrill cries of Vulpix rose one after another, like the howling of wolves at night, revealing boundless pain.

Billowing black smoke rose from the ground and filled the air.

"Go away in vain!"

Liliae came back to her senses from her state of shock. She screamed anxiously and rushed into the dense smoke regardless of everything. Her figure disappeared in the smoke, leaving only rapid breathing and a tense atmosphere.

"Lilia!"

Seeing her actions, Mao and Shui Lian were shocked and hurried forward to check.

You have to know that the skill has not been fully released yet. If she rushes in now, she will inevitably get hurt.

After the skill was released, the smoke dissipated, revealing the scene inside. Liliae sat quietly on the ground with her eyes closed, holding Vulpix tightly in her arms.

Seeing that Liliae was safe and sound, they both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and their hearts were finally at ease.

However, Vulpix has many scars on its body. After all, before Liliae came, it did suffer damage from skills, but these scars are not serious and do not seem to have hurt its roots. It is still able to jump around.

"Mew! Mew!"

Vulpix patted Lillie's cheek gently, as if to tell Lillie that it was harmless.

She slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw Vulpix's energetic eyes and its body that was not seriously injured, she felt an indescribable relief in her heart.

"That's great!" Liliae let out a long sigh, her voice filled with relief and joy.

"Lilia, you are such a fool! We are in a battle! How could you run in here?!"

"Do you know how dangerous that was?!"

Mao and Suiren blamed her for her behavior just now, but although they said so, they were more concerned and worried about Liliae.

"Don't do this again next time."

Lilia nodded slightly, knowing that her reckless behavior was inappropriate. She replied apologetically, "I understand..."

She had just heard Vulpix's screams and was so overwhelmed for a moment that she completely forgot about the battle and ran straight in.

Vulpix broke free from Liliae, stared at Xiao Duer in the sky, and entered combat mode again.

At this moment, Liliae reacted quickly and commanded: "Bai Gungun, use Snow again!"

Vulpix moved in response. It took a deep breath and then exhaled streams of cold air from its pointed mouth. The cold air was like a winter snowstorm, mixed with tiny snow particles, like a sharp ice sword, piercing Xiao Duer in the sky.

Although Xiao Duer tried his best to dodge, his wings had become a little stiff due to the previous attack, which greatly reduced his flying speed and flexibility.

This made it unable to completely escape from Vulpix's attack range, and it was hit by the cold air again. Its body was quickly covered with frost, turning it into an ice sculpture, and finally fell powerlessly from the air.

"Pokeball! Go ahead!" Liliae bit her lip nervously and closed her eyes tightly. She gathered all her courage and threw the Pokéball in her hand with all her might.

You read that right, she threw it with her eyes closed!

The result is self-evident. The Poké Ball deviated and hit the left side of a thick tree. With a crisp sound, it bounced back to the ground and rolled not far in front of Xiao Duer.

The crow brought a ellipsis...

"Eh?"

Liliae was confused and still wondering why the Poké Ball wasn't thrown over.

Vulpix sighed helplessly, stepped forward quickly, swung its tail, and knocked the Poké Ball away.

The Poké Ball cut through the air like an arrow. Little Duer had just broken free from the ice, and before his wings could spread, he was hit accurately by the Poké Ball.

In an instant, its body was wrapped in a red light and absorbed by the Poké Ball.

The Poké Ball rolled to the ground and began to shake in struggle.

Liliae and the two girls behind her watched this scene nervously, their heartbeats quickened and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

Finally, the Poké Ball stopped shaking and a clear prompt sound rang out, announcing the successful capture.

"Great!"

Liliae cheered excitedly and ran forward, carefully holding the Poké Ball in her hands.
