In inelastic collisions most of the kinetic energy is lost/ transferred. Instead the energy is transformed into other energy type's i.e. potential, thermal and sound energy. For example when the vehicle collides with another object or vehicle, the vehicles panels, tyres, and other parts reach extremely high temperatures due to kinetic energy from the vehicle traveling on the road is transferred into the particles. Even the other object or the immediate surroundings are heated.
In a elastic interaction, the object's motion decreases.
Lets say a girl slings a ball with her slingshot.
The ball is decreasing in motion because it stops.
The ball is increasing in stored elastic energy.
So the energy in a elastic interaction: decreases in motion, and increases in stored elastic energy.
Hope this helps :)
It is a form of potential energy. It turns in Kinetic energy (the energy of movement) when the elastic is released.
If the elastic band is stretched, there is elastic energy stored in it. That's a type of potential energy.
Potential Elastic Energy.
The "elastic portion" is precisely the part where the material returns to its original shape, and thus returns its energy. Once the material does NOT return to its previous shape, it doesn't exert a force back to the original position, and there is no way to get the energy back.

elastic potential energy is stored by the forces within a disorted elastic object
Thermal Energy

Potential Elastic Energy.
Gravitational potential energy, is the energy an object possesses by reason of its position in a gravitational field. While elastic potential energy, is the energy stored by a material or object as a result of deformation e.g. the energy stored in a bow when it is stretched.

Elastic potiential energy is the energy stored when an object is squeed or stretched.
When a ball is squashed, it gains potential energy due to the compression of its material. This potential energy is stored in the form of elastic potential energy, as the ball has the potential to return to its original shape when released.
