Within the boundless sea.
On the trial island.
Within the Rocket Team's base.
The three who had been seated in the plaza had now returned to a large room.
If Aoki was here, he would have recognized this place. This was the mysterious place where he had been meeting Shadowy.
Shadowy was seated on the chair he always sat on, while Viper was seated across from him, holding a cup of tea. As for Saka, who had arrived later, he had pulled out a luxurious sofa from somewhere, and was currently napping on it.
The three of them didn't speak, silently waiting.
For three Heavenly King tier powerhouses of the Rocket Team to wait here for a single trial, one could tell how important this trial was to the Rocket Team.
"How boring. Let's find something to do." Saka said.
Shadowy and Viper glanced at him, not saying anything.
"Hey, Shadowy, how about we go out and have a spar? Everyone says that your power has declined greatly. Why don't you spar with me to prove that your power hasn't declined? That way, there will be far fewer people who want to make trouble for you." Saka had a look of 'I'm thinking for your sake' on his face.
Shadowy still didn't say anything.
Saka had always been defeated by him.
This time, if he wanted to take advantage of the fact that his power had declined to get back at him, then just say it.
No need to find excuses.
Suddenly, the three of them, who had been relaxing, began to frown.
"My Abba's intuition shouldn't be wrong, right?" Viper was the first to speak. An Abba slowly crawled out from the corner of the room, crawling over to Viper's side.
Viper placed his hand on the Abba's head.
The Abba flicked its tongue.
"My intuition isn't wrong." Shadowy said.
A Geng Gui emerged from Shadowy's shadow, making a funny face at the Abba.
"Right." Saka nodded as well.
Haerujia, who had been sleeping on the ground, stood up as well. As he did so, Saka just happened to be able to touch his back.
"Looks like a Heavenly King-tier sprite really did appear on the trial island. Do we need to summon all the trial-takers back?" Viper asked.
"There's no need for that. He's just an elementary Heavenly King level elf. Who knows what he's here for? Those small fries don't have the ability to provoke him. Most likely, he's a native elf of the trial islands. Now that he's reached the Heavenly King level, he's come out to flaunt his territory." Saka rubbed Haeruka's back, yawning.
Ying didn't say anything, but his eyes narrowed.
"It can't be that brat, right?"
.....
Aoki had just let the Dark Crows absorb the energy from the energy cubes.
The Dream Demon and the Fairies had also completed their task.
The Dazed Beast taught her some daily things through telepathy, so it was much more normal when talking to her.
"It's about time. Let's rest. We still have things to do tomorrow," Aoki said with a smile.
Upon hearing that, the elves gathered around Aoki's tent, and found a more comfortable place to lie down.
The Dream Demon followed suit.
Although she didn't need to sleep like the other elves, for the Dream Demon, even if she didn't sleep, it wouldn't affect her too much.
After all, strictly speaking, she was a ghost.
But seeing the other fairies fall asleep one after another, the dream demon also learned to sleep.
Actually, she was just imitating sleep, but didn't actually fall asleep.
After living in the cave under the stone pillar for so many years, she was able to maintain an ethereal state. Even if she was in a daze, she would be able to do so for a few days without being affected.
Today, she had seen many things, so many images appeared in her mind. Some of them were directly transmitted to her by the Dazed Beast through telepathy, teaching her a lot of knowledge about the outside world.
Just like that, Aoki and the other elves all fell asleep.
Except for Ghost Stone and the Large-Mouthed Sparrow, who were still standing guard.
Of course, because of the Dream Demon, there weren't many wild elves who dared to approach Aoki and the others.
.....
The fourth day.
Breakfast.
After finishing breakfast.
The Dream Demon, who had eaten her fill, returned to the pokeball, very satisfied.
She had promised Aoki that she would listen to Aoki.
Now was not the time for the Dream Demon to appear.
With the Dark Crow and the Dazed Beast, Aoki stepped on the road to find points cards.
Three days had already passed in the final trial, and today was the fourth day. Those who were beginning to familiarize themselves with the rules should have a lot of points in their hands. If they could find some relatively strong people, then the speed of collecting points should be much faster than finding point cards.
But the trial island was so big, and there were only a few people they could meet.
So the most stable source of points was still finding points cards.
After killing a cat boss that was blocking his way, Aoki obtained the fifth point card on the map fragment.
He didn't use it immediately, but collected all the points cards he found this time and put them in the storage space.
"Let's go to the next place." Aoki said after letting the stinky mud swallow the cat boss.
From today onwards, Takeshi Aoki consciously trained the Dark Crow. Yesterday, he absorbed the newly made energy cube, and this morning, he ate it again. His body grew another three centimeters, and the energy in his body was accumulating more and more. He needed to consume it as soon as possible.
So every time he fought, the Dark Crow would use all his strength, trying to control the sudden increase in power.
After walking for a while, Aoki found a few unfamiliar footprints on the muddy ground.
He frowned and squatted down, using his finger to touch the footprints in the muddy ground.
"It's still wet, which means the person who left these footprints hasn't left for long. Let's go and take a look." Aoki said.
Then, he let the Dazed Beast create an energy membrane under its feet to prevent footprints from being left on the ground and reduce the noise.
One person and two elves sped up, following the direction of the footprints and chasing.
After walking for twenty minutes, they finally caught up to the owner of the footprints.
Two people!
Two people wearing the Rocket Team uniform on the trial island.
As for their names, Aoki didn't know them, but he vaguely felt that they were familiar. They should be one of the trial participants.
He followed behind them silently, not showing any trace.
If they were trial participants, Aoki wouldn't feel much pressure.
However, the two of them were obviously moving forward with a purpose, and Aoki was still quite curious about it.
After walking for a while, the two of them couldn't stand the loneliness and began to chat.
One of them, who was taller, said, "Do you think Boss Guja will really take us out?"
The other person pondered for a while, as if he was thinking, but also seemed to be hesitating. Finally, he said, "He should take us out. Didn't you see that Boss Guja asked people to record our contribution points? He said that according to the contribution points, he will prioritize the people he takes out."
"That's what he said, but it doesn't feel real. Can we really go out as long as we submit enough points? Some people give away their original points. In this way, when the final ranking comes, we may not even be in the top fifty. What if Boss Guja doesn't take us out? "
