Xia Chen felt that the saying "it's easy to go up the mountain but hard to go down the mountain" was simply not true for Zeraora.
Under the acceleration of gravity and inertia, this guy jumped hundreds of meters each time. In just three or two minutes, Xia Chen and Zeraora, who were still on the top of the mountain one moment, appeared on the top of the mountain in the next second.
The wind comes to the edge of the city.
In terms of speed, Zeraora really didn't brag. It was definitely faster than all the elves in Xia Chen except Guluton and Deoxys in speed form.
The location of the fire this time was relatively deep. After going down the mountain and advancing for more than ten kilometers, they arrived at the "crime scene".
The mountain wind was strong tonight, and the fire spread at an alarming speed. In just a short time, half of the orchard was already on fire.
"Meenas, come out and put out the fire!"
Xia Chen jumped down from Zeraora's arms and touched his waist to summon Menas, but was shocked to find an empty Poké Ball in the familiar position.
"It's broken, Menas and the others are still on the mountain!"
He looked at Zeraora anxiously, "What should I do? Do you know water-based moves?"
Xia Chen had the impression that it didn't have water-type moves, but out of luck, he still asked.
The answer she got was naturally that Zeraora shook her head in denial.
Xia Chen asked hurriedly: "Then how do you usually put out fires?"
At this moment, he couldn't care less about his original plan. The fire was in critical condition, so it was better to put out the fire first.
Zeraora remained silent and answered Xia Chen's question with practical actions.
But when he saw a burst of pure white light suddenly burst out from its fists, Xia Chen was a little confused. This seemed to be... fighting-type energy?
Can fighting-type moves also be used to put out fires?
At the moment of doubt, Zeraora's enhanced fist suddenly hit the ground. For a moment, the ground trembled, and several deep cracks appeared on the ground close to the source of the earthquake!
A simple strengthening punch actually caused an earthquake in Zeraora's hands. It was truly terrifying.
However, this still has nothing to do with putting out fires...
Just as Xia Chen had this thought, the next moment, there was a commotion in the house in the distance.
"earthquake?"
"No, it's on fire. Come on, get up and put out the fire!"
Xia Chen glanced sideways at Zeraora and twitched the corner of his mouth. It turns out that this is such a fire-extinguishing method. It is very hard-core...
…………
Because the distance was close enough, the residents' elves quickly rushed over.
There are many water elves in Alola, and because they run orchards, almost every house in Fenglai City will have one or two water elves.
This one is an armored warrior, not a very strong armored warrior.
The reason why I want to emphasize this point is that the fire at this time is no longer something it can handle.
Even if it tries its best to fire water cannons to extinguish the fire, it can only contain it.
Xia Chen and Zeraora could only watch from the sidelines and could not help at all.
In fact, in addition to water-type moves, if Zeraora knew a move like [Quicksand Hell], it would also be able to help put out fires, but unfortunately not.
If you use your best electric moves, it will add fuel to the fire, which will in turn cause the fire to further intensify.
But it's not a big problem. As long as you hold on for a while, Menas and the others will probably arrive soon.
…………
"It's you again!"
While Xia Chen was waiting for reinforcements, a sharp shout suddenly came from the distance.
Zeraora's body trembled, and she subconsciously wanted to run away. Fortunately, Xia Chen reacted in time and caught it.
"Why are you running away? It's not you who did it. Why do you feel guilty?"
He was very puzzled by Zeraora's confusing behavior.
Zeraora worriedly said: "Ono——(We didn't catch the naughty Thunderbolt, they will definitely regard me as an arsonist again later.)"
Xia Chen smiled slightly and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I'm here."
Zeraora didn't believe it and said: "Ono-(They will only regard you as an accomplice.)"
"Okay, can you trust me just once?"
Xia Chen smiled and said: "Anyway, your image is at the bottom, and it will definitely improve next."
Zeraora: "..."
Although I was very angry inside, there seemed to be nothing to refute.
Soon, the orchard owner trotted over, followed by a heavy mud draft horse that was quite common in the Alola region.
"The heavy mud pulls the horse, don't let the elf escape, use rocks to block it!"
Xia Chen was speechless for a while, thinking that with the speed of pulling a horse through heavy mud, it would be a bit difficult to undertake the task of pursuit.
This heavy mud draft horse is of mediocre strength and is a common amateur-level elf in the farm.
Xia Chen waved his hand towards Zeraora, who was about to take action, and joked: "Leave it to me, I'm afraid you will hurt it."
As he spoke, he used the power of the waveguide to form a barrier to block the rocks coming from the heavy mud horse.
Zeraora was stunned, this guy actually has the power of waveguide?
The fighting type is Zeraora's most proficient attribute besides the electric type. It naturally also has the power of waveguide, but it is a bit rare in humans.
Over there, the heavy mud horse and the orchard owner were shocked to the point of being stunned——
Is this human-looking guy an elf or a human?
While they were in a daze, Xia Chen quickly shouted: "Hey, don't get excited, there may be some misunderstanding between us."
The orchardist breathed a sigh of relief. He could talk and was a human being.
Since we are human beings, there is nothing to be afraid of.
The tall, bearded man said angrily: "I saw you setting fire with my own eyes, do you still want to deny it? Just wait, I have called the police, and Miss Junsha will be here soon!"
Xia Chen was helpless, "I understand, we won't leave, but please give us a little trust and respect, okay?"
As the saying goes, good people can be bullied. When the orchard owner saw this man whose face could not be seen clearly in the night, he took the initiative to give in and screamed more and more arrogantly.
"Who do you think you are? Why does an arson suspect deserve my respect?"
Xia Chen sighed and whispered to himself: "I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but I got this result. Okay, stop pretending, I will show my cards!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zeraora looked aside and cursed, what is this?
Xia Chen coughed lightly, raised his head and said loudly: "I don't know if you have heard of it, but I am Xia Chen, can you give me some face?"
There was silence.
Xia Chen's toes dug into the ground in embarrassment.
Damn it, you finally found an opportunity to show off in front of Zeraora, so you won't fall over, right?
Damn it, Alola is some kind of rural place. If we were in Donghuang Fengyuan...even Carlos Galar wouldn't know about it!
…………
Fortunately, things were a little different from what Xia Chen thought.
The bearded man was indeed stunned for a moment, but it was not because he didn't know Xia Chen, but because he didn't believe that he was.
He laughed loudly and said: "Haha, just you? You are Xia Chen and I am the Alchemy Emperor!"
Although he is not a professional trainer, he is an avid spectator of elf battles, and Dandi is his favorite player.
Of course he knew about Xia Chen, the newly rising star, and had even watched many of his games.
For example, the Dynamax exhibition match with my idol Dan Emperor was really exciting.
Wait, apart from the elves like Xianbu and Guluton, Xia Chen's signature characteristics seem to be superpowers and the power of waveguides. Could it be...
The bearded man's heart skipped a beat and he took a few steps forward to see the young man's face clearly.
Damn, he’s so handsome!
Against the background of the rising firelight, the young man's tall and straight figure became more and more handsome.
The orchard owner, who was so handsome, compared Xia Chen's appearance in his memory, and then discovered...
Damn it, it’s really him!
His original arrogance was gone. He scratched his head in embarrassment and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Master Xia Chen, I admit that I did speak a little too loudly just now."
The gym leader has a prominent status in society, even if he is not a local gym, he will be respected as the gym leader.
Xia Chen smiled and originally wanted to say "I still like the way you acted unruly just now", but considering that Zeraora was beside him, in order to maintain his glorious image, he changed his words to "It doesn't matter."
.
Zeraora, who watched the whole process quietly from the sidelines, was both surprised and curious——
From treating them as arsonists to apologizing in a low voice, the only change was that Xia Chen revealed his own name.
Who is he?
Zeraora took a deep look at Xia Chen, who was chatting with the orchard owner, and the seed in her heart seemed to be sprouting.
Just as Xia Chen was telling the orchard owner the truth about the incident from his perspective, the other elves finally arrived.
Therefore, Luton carried Xianbu and Gardevoir, followed by Menas and Duolong, and all landed behind Xia Chen.
In fact, in terms of speed alone, Luton would not be so slow, but it wanted to create space for Xia Chen, so it deliberately slowed down.
Now it seems that the effect is not bad.
Therefore, Luton glanced at Zeraora who was staring at Xia Chen and thought this way.
…………
"Meenas, help put out the fire, and the other elves can help find that naughty thunder bomb!"
Seeing the elves rushing over, Xia Chen regained a sense of security and arranged for them to solve the fire.
The intensity of the fire was a bit difficult for armored warriors to withstand, but it was different once Menas took action.
With a prayer for rain and a water cannon, most of the increasingly fierce mountain fire was extinguished immediately, and only three or two minutes were left.
The tasks of other elves are even easier. Several champions and even legendary elves are hunting down a small elite naughty thunder bomb.
It can't be said that it is killing a chicken with a bull's knife, it is simply a sword that kills a dragon.
Even before the fire was completely extinguished, the naughty thunder bomb was thrown at Xia Chen's feet by Doron Baruto, and he naturally fell into a coma.
"Well, this is the murderer of these fires."
Xia Chen said.
At this time, many other residents of Fenglai City had already rushed over, including the local Miss Junsha.
Because Menas put out the fire very quickly, people have now shifted their attention from the fire itself to the "big star" Xia Chen.
"Wow, it's really Pavilion Master Xia Chen!"
"Look, Guluton, Deoxys and Dianxi, the few legendary elves conquered by humans!"
"Oh my god, Menas looks even more beautiful than in the video and photos!"
"Oh oh oh, it's Senbu-sama and Miss Gardevoir!"
"What is that silver-white elf? Why have I never seen it before? Is it newly conquered by Xia Chen?"
Xia Chen is also well-known in this small town. The onlookers were excitedly discussing the celebrity elf that they usually only see on TV. They almost forgot that they came here because of the fire.
Miss Junsha did her duty well. She asked the elf police officer Blazing Roaring Tiger behind her to pick up the unconscious naughty Lei Bomb.
He said to Xia Chen: "On behalf of Fenglaicheng Police Department, I would like to express my gratitude for your help, but could you please make a record with us? After all, this is a serial arson case that lasted for two months."
Xia Chen nodded happily and said, "Of course it's no problem."
Miss Junsha showed a sweet smile, looked at Zeraora, and said: "Well, and the elf next to you must be the overlord elf on the volcano, right? Can I trouble you too?"
Xia Chen was worried that it would be wary of humans, so he helped by saying, "Believe me, it'll be fine."
I don't know if it was out of trust in Xia Chen or something else, Zeraora nodded silently in agreement.
So, Miss Junsha took Xia Chen and Zeraora back to the police station, and the crowd dispersed.
…………
"...That's probably what happened. Zeraora is a very kind elf. I hope that after you investigate clearly, you can issue an announcement in the official name of the police station and restore its innocence."
In the interrogation room, after Xia Chen told the truth about the matter, he made a request.
Zeraora sat aside, still silent.
It's still not used to talking to other humans.
Miss Junsha carefully took notes, nodded and said: "Of course, but please wait for a while until Naughty Lei Dan confesses his crime."
Xia Chen nodded obediently and watched Miss Junsha get up and leave.
He and Zeraora were the only ones left in the room.
"How about it? Things are easier to deal with than you thought, right?"
Xia Chen looked at Zeraora with a smile, and his tone seemed a bit asking for credit.
This time, Zeraora was not arrogant and said her thanks seriously: "Ono... (Well, thank you for your help, you are a good person.)"
Xia Chen's smile faltered, "Hey, don't give me a good person card!"
Zeraora was puzzled and asked: "Ono? (Ah? What's wrong?)"
Looking at the innocent look in its dark blue pupils, Xia Chen waved his hand, "Forget it, it's okay."
This guy lives deep in the mountains and forests, and he probably doesn't understand things in the human online world. He should be sincerely complimenting him.
After the air was silent for a while, Zeraora suddenly asked: "Ono? (Um...you seem to be very famous in the human world?)"
"Okay."
Xia Chen pretended to be modest and said: "I'm just a world-famous elf researcher and researcher who has prevented many legendary elf disasters at the regional level. I didn't expect that so many people in Alola know me. I'm really flattered."
Although he was flattered, Xia Chen still showed a slightly restrained and proud smile on his face.
Oddly enough, Xia Chen didn't find it interesting to appear as a saint in front of others, but he felt a sense of accomplishment in showing off in front of Zeraora.
However, Zeraora just said "Oh" and did not ask further, which made Xia Chen feel aggrieved.
