So I'm a sheep.

The little girl threw the two Poké Balls on the ground, and they rolled around, but no Pokémon appeared.

"I am the owner of these two Poké Balls. No one else, and no Pokémon, can use them."

Haruko said with difficulty, "I can cooperate with you, but you have to agree to one condition."

"Ok?"

"Don't hurt anyone, this is for your own good," Haruko said sincerely.

"I am a kind angel, and I usually don't take people's lives."

Sasha gave a kind smile: "It's okay if you don't want to cooperate, but it's best if you do."

Before Haruko could say anything, the two Poké Balls that had fallen to the ground suddenly emitted a dazzling white light.

......................................

One is a giant, goofy-looking hippopotamus, and the other is...

"Uh, it was emitting black smoke, and it was filled with a lot of resentment."

"Isn't this a vengeful spirit? You humans classify vengeful spirits as a type of spirit?"

"All creatures listed in the Pokédex are Pokémon."

Haruko weakly introduced them to the little girl: "The pink one is Slowpoke, and the other one emitting black smoke is Ghost."

"..."

After carefully observing the two spirits, Sasa discovered that their mental connection with Haruko was unusually unstable.

"Were these two spirits captured by you not long ago?"

"Mmm," the girl responded weakly.

How could a mental channel be formed immediately after being captured?

Despite its extreme instability, this is quite a strange thing.

After examining the two Poké Balls that had fallen to the ground for a moment, Sasha smiled and blocked the psychic portals of Slowpoke and Ghost.

"what"

Haruko's eyes widened in surprise; she felt the faint connection between herself and the two spirits suddenly sever.

Slowpoke was alright; it remained standing there with a blank expression. On the other side, Phantom glared fiercely at Haruko.

Volume 1: Chapter 381 The Three Illusory Gods

"Come here, come here"

Just as the ghost was about to 'go berserk' and 'backfire,' the little girl stopped it in time.

"The little guy is quite angry. It seems you used some tricks when you captured it, Haruko."

Haruko wanted to retort to Sasha's teasing.

But as waves of exhaustion washed over her, she closed her eyes in despair.

"I didn't use any tricks; I defeated it fair and square in the Pokémon battle."

'Although it was taken down by four elves... that's within the rules, so what right does it have to complain?'

If you're not satisfied, we can fight again, but of course, not now.

So sleepy

Her eyelids drooped and she couldn't lift them. After a while, Haruko started snoring softly.

"..."

He slept soundly until the intense hunger in his stomach became unbearable, at which point the young innkeeper rubbed his eyes and got out of bed.

Ugh, my body aches so much, I just want to lie back down.

As Haruko struggled out of the room, leaning against the wall, she immediately spotted the pesky sprite lounging on her sofa, reading comics.

"How did you get here!"

"Your question is so simplistic; you must be starving."

The girl didn't even look up: "Let's fill our stomachs first. I didn't expect there to be only one dojo in the whole city. There are some things I still need to ask you."

"Hmph, a city can only..."

The gurgling sound interrupted Haruko's words, and she quickly clutched her stomach and moved with difficulty to the refrigerator.

After devouring five or six croissants and a large bowl of oatmeal, the girl let out a satisfied burp.

"Phew, I'm alive again."

.........................................

Sitting across from the little girl at the dining table, Haruko Sugawara didn't show any particular fear on her face.

Firstly, this elf looks remarkably like a human. Apart from the three pairs of wings on her back, she's practically a beautiful little girl (that shows how important looks are).

Secondly, the little girl showed considerable restraint; despite her great strength, she did not indiscriminately harm anyone.

This is very important. If Sasha were extremely cruel and killed anyone she saw, no matter how cute she was, Haruko would probably be so scared that she couldn't even speak properly.

"I've noticed that the technology here is quite niche."

Sasa started the conversation: "Poké Balls, protective suits, Pokémon sanatoriums... anything related to Pokémon is high-tech, yet we still use bicycles and cars for daily transportation."

"Isn't this too incongruous? Putting everything else aside, at least give us a hovercar."

Haruko was stunned for a while before she reacted. She looked at the little girl incredulously: "You, you're an elf, why would you ask this?"

"Ask away if you're interested, Haruko. Answer me properly and I won't resort to force."

"We will definitely cooperate!"

After quickly expressing her opinion, Haruko pondered for a moment and then said, "However, this is a long story."

"To make a long story short, you have three sentences to explain yourself."

"Uh"

"One sentence"

"..."

"More than 500 years ago, the Deathbird, one of the three Egyptian Gods, wanted to destroy all life in the world, causing a break in the entire human civilization."

"Later, scientists actively excavated ancient ruins, and the most preserved and complete technologies were those related to elves, which is why you think that human technology is now unorthodox."

After explaining everything in one breath, Haruko let out a long sigh of relief.

"Who are the three Phantom Gods, and what is their current situation?" the little girl asked with great interest.

"In order to seal the strongest phantom god, the Deathbird, the other two phantom gods—the Earth-Splitting Dragon and the Mica—had an earth-shattering battle with it."

"During the battle, the Earthshaker unfortunately died due to severe injuries, and the Mica was also seriously injured."

Haruko concluded, "The Earth-Splitting Dragon has perished, the Deathbird has been sealed away, but the location of the seal is unknown, and the whereabouts of the Mica are unknown."

.........................................

"Why did the Deathbird suddenly want to destroy the world? Have you humans figured out the reason?"

"Environmental pollution"

"what?"

Haruko said with a heavy heart, "While technology brings convenience to mankind, it also causes serious pollution to the environment."

"This is how it is described in textbooks: the sky is gray all year round, and people must carry air filtration equipment with them when they go out."

"The ocean has turned black and smells foul, the mountains are bare except for tree stumps, and countless elves are on the verge of extinction due to the rapid deterioration of the environment."

Is this described using exaggeration?

Sasa was taken aback when she saw Haruko shake her head.

Turtle, if your place turned into a garbage dump, you'd definitely go berserk too.

"Huh, so the Deathbird really wants to exterminate humans, right? The other elves are just being targeted by its own anger."

"..."

Haruko glanced awkwardly at the little girl and retorted, "No one can fathom the thoughts of a god-level spirit. Don't make things up without any evidence."

"Humans certainly bear some responsibility, but they can't be blamed for everything. There might be some inside story."

"Moreover, we have reflected deeply on our actions, focusing on marine pollution control, clean energy research and development, and afforestation worldwide..."

"Look how blue the sky is now, how good the water quality is, and how fresh the air is."

"We've already corrected our mistakes; it's not good to keep bringing up old grievances."

Upon hearing this, Sasha couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, let's not bring up the past."

"Let me ask a rather crucial question..."

The little girl pointed to herself: "How much do you know about angels?"

...........................................

"A magical spirit that appeared briefly during the Deathbird's rampage, it was powerful, but... but it shouldn't be as strong as you."

Haruko ran back to her room and grabbed a Pokédex: "And the number of wings is wrong too. Angels only have two pairs of wings, how come you have three?"

"Could it be that you are a mutant...?"

"what!"

Before Haruko could finish speaking, the little girl flicked her forehead.

"You're the mutant, your whole family are mutants."

"You dare to spout nonsense without knowing anything about angels? I'll knock you out!"

"Ouch! It hurts so much!"
