This elf world is a bit strange

Early in the morning, just as the sky was getting light, Firio stretched and got up from the bed.

The warmth in my sides and chest was gone.

When he opened his eyes, he saw four dirty little guys sleeping in a crooked position on the carpet, covered with the winter coats that Firion had stored in the little dream demon's shadow space.

Looking at the little Sleepyhead sleeping soundly on the Sun Eevee, Firion knew that it must be the one who started it again.

He tiptoed out of bed, walked to the bathroom, and filled a bathtub with water. He returned to the room, gently picked up the still sleeping little dream demon, walked to the bathtub, and threw her in.

"thump"

"Maggie?!——"

The screams of the "culprit" little dream demon immediately spread throughout the house.

-----------------

“Puff puff puff puff”

The petite black shadow swung its body repeatedly, splashing bath water all over Firio's head and face.

"Madge!"

Not feeling satisfied just by shaking the water off Firio, the little dream demon turned his head away, not wanting to pay any attention to him.

"Okay, little dream demon, it's my fault!"

"Madge!"

"I shouldn't have played a prank on you. I should have woken you up and helped you take a bath."

"Madge!"

"So, I won't blame you for secretly training at night and getting yourself dirty, how about that?"

"Maggie?!——"

"Then I'll make you your favorite grape cookies for breakfast."

"Madge!"

"Buyi~!"

The Sun Eevee wrapped in a big bath towel lay next to the Mouthful and Pogo stick who were watching the fun, and called out lazily. He was no longer surprised by the pair of funny guys in front of him.

Mouth and Pokémon, who were a little worried about getting themselves dirty, now calmed down and watched the bickering between the man and the Pokémon with relish.

There was a lot of chaos in the early morning, and there was a little more excitement today.

......

......

"Machi~!"

Little Mengyao's unhappiness came and went quickly.

In other words, it was originally taking advantage of the situation to confuse people, but once its goal was achieved, it stuck to Firion again and became extremely close to him.

After training hard with my friends outside for half the night yesterday, I had a long sleep and my energy was almost restored. The bitterness of yesterday's defeat dissipated for the most part.

Sooner or later, that big white guy will be pinned to the ground, beaten, and then flattened and rounded.

Thinking of this, the little dream demon turned his grief and anger into motivation, and ate the elf food and energy blocks that Firion had carefully prepared in big mouthfuls.

On the other side, Sun Eevee and Kog'Maw also seemed particularly focused.

Yesterday's battle allowed the two little guys to see what a true top-level strongman is.

The champion's main Pokémon can defeat them without any chance of fighting back with just a single blow, and are completely unstoppable when they use their full strength.

However, even with the overwhelming gap in strength, it only made Sun Eevee and Kog'Maw more determined to become stronger.

More powerful energy, stronger body, and more sophisticated use of skills.

In the telekinetic clay dolls and the dragon-headed hamsters, they see the direction of their own growth and progress, as well as the goals of their growth.

"Buy!"

Chewing the energy cube viciously, even the usually gentle and quiet Sun Eevee had determination in his deep purple eyes.

Compared with the three little ones who shared the same hatred for the enemy, Pogaman was much calmer and just ate his breakfast in silence.

Holding an energy cube, it chewed it slowly, its eyes wandering, and its wings gently flapping from time to time.

It doesn't care about the temporary battle of victory or defeat. It is thinking about the final collision with the armored bird.

Not only is there a difference in the level of strength, but there also seems to be a gap in the skill of exerting force and the use of energy.

That armored bird seemed to be invulnerable at this moment.

After deep contemplation, it seemed to have vaguely grasped a clue, and also understood more clearly what Firio had said before: "Steel Wings must have both offensive and defensive capabilities."

"Boga!"

After swallowing the remaining energy cube in one gulp, the little penguin stood up and practiced exerting his strength.

The glittering immutable stone sparkled under the light, and the faint metallic luster gradually spread from the wings, nourishing its entire body.

"Okay, everyone, eat well and don't think too much about the distant future. We have to proceed step by step. One day we will have to ask Mr. Daigo for advice again."

Looking at his four companions who behaved differently but had the same high morale, Firio was delighted, but at the same time he also realized that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavier than before.

As a trainer and breeder, I still have a long way to go if I want to realize my partners' dreams.

"Madge? Madge! Madge!"

While he was thinking, the little dream demon who was eating with big mouthfuls of food suddenly noticed something, floated in front of Firion, and pointed at something in the distance.

"Buyi?"

"Qido?"

"Boga?"

The three little ones were also startled by the little dream demon's cry and raised their heads in confusion.

"Hmm? What's wrong, little dream demon, let me see... Hey, isn't this it?"

Looking in the direction it pointed, Firion's eyes widened slightly.

......

......

“It is not the unknown peak, nor the dream that has never been seen, but the trophy of honor that is within reach.”

On the big screen, the high-spirited young man declared his victory, held up the trophy in his hands, and celebrated with his loyal partners.

"Oh my goodness...isn't this the footage of us at the tournament? Someone actually made it into a Pokémon short film."

Firio poked the fascinated dream demon's face gently and laughed.

The short film that attracted the attention of it and several other companions was a Pokémon short film edited from the wonderful scenes of Firion in the Youth Championship.

"Your skills are quite good, and you even have a little more rhythm and joy than we did back then. Most importantly, you have fully displayed your charm, which is amazing."

Walking closer, Firio folded his arms across his chest and praised.

"Machi~"

The little dream demon happily threw herself on Firio's face, twisting her body and acting coquettishly.

Sun Eevee and Kotaku also came forward, one on the left and one on the right, each holding one of Firion's hands and rubbing his trouser legs, looking happy and affectionate.

"But next time, we will bring Pogaman and the little guy in the egg to a higher and bigger stage, and win something more exciting and gorgeous than this time. When the time comes, we will find this photographer called 'Free Cloud' and ask him to make a better short film for us."

Gently taking off the still twisting dream demon, Firio looked at the Pogamon with eyes full of envy and expectation, and the incubator that was trembling slightly on the table, and smiled brightly.

"Oh? I'd be honored to hear that. I'm looking forward to that day. When the time comes, I will definitely take photos for you to celebrate for free."

When Firio was being intimate with his friends, a playful voice suddenly came from behind.

"Ok?"

In surprise, Filio turned his head and saw the tall, thin and handsome young man who was in the Miare stands that day.

His healthy wheat-colored skin seemed to be even darker than it was then. At this moment, he was holding a plate of breakfast.

"Hello, contestant Firion, I am the 'free cloud' who took the photo for you. My name is Haiyun. Thank you for your guidance."

A cheerful smile revealed two rows of white teeth, and the young photographer named Haiyun stretched out his hand.

......

......

"So, Haiyun, your main job is actually photographing wild Pokémon and natural landscapes? Then I am really lucky that you are interested in shooting and editing such a wonderful promotional video for me."

"Because beautiful things are not just Pokémon and scenery. Bonds and victories are also immortal topics. Being able to see such a wonderful battle is also a great gain for me. I should be the one to express my gratitude to you, Firion."

After finishing breakfast, on the way to the stone pillar ruins, the two people who were passing by were still chatting.

From the conversation, Filio learned that Haiyun was a freelance photographer with a certain reputation in the industry.

His collection of photos of wild baby dragons and the scenery of the large nature reserve in southern Carlos have been published in major publications and won many industry awards.

The brown Flashing Fang staggered along, walking shoulder to shoulder with Big Mouth.

"Kiwan!"

The little guy, who was as curious as Haiyun, was very interested in the big jaws of the big-mouthed baby. He stretched out his little hand and poked it gently.

"Qido!"

"Kiwan——"

Amidst the exaggerated screams that were three-quarters real and seven-quarters fake, Yaya's body was suspended in the air and was picked up directly, struggling endlessly.

A light layer of frost condensed on its surface.

"Ah... My little one is curious about everything. I'm sorry."

Scratching his head helplessly, Haiyun picked up Yaya, whose body was still trembling but whose eyes were still fixed on the big jaws of the big mouth baby, and apologized.

This Pokémon that he hatched personally is very similar to him in many aspects, except for the desire to commit suicide.

I especially like to play with skin.

"Qido~!"

The big-mouthed kid turned his head away. Although he was not really angry, he looked very angry, which made the two of them laugh.

-----------------

"This was originally an important historical site in the Kalos region, the Stonehenge. Now there is only a deep pit left, and the culprit behind all this is Team Flare, who attempted to use the power of the gods to destroy the Kalos region and human civilization!"

The former Stonehenge tourist attraction and now an educational base, the alliance's tour guides are telling tourists from all over the world about the past and present of the deep pit.

The three stone pillars with countless years of history and the "ultimate weapon" that left a strong mark in historical legends have now become a thing of the past. Except for the big pit in front of us and the ruins in the northwest of the city, there is no trace left.

"Qido..."

"Maggie..."

Big Mouth Baby and Little Dream Demon stood at the edge of the pit, wondering what kind of power could cause such great damage, and they were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.

"click"

"Crack, click, click"

Holding a camera, Haiyun ran back and forth, taking pictures of the big pit in front of him in an empty area.

"The final weapon... now all we can say is that dust returns to dust. History itself always has its own weight, even if it is only a piece of 'nothingness' that symbolizes destruction."

Standing next to Haiyun and watching him filming, Filio felt a little emotional. He could understand Haiyun's feelings.

"Nothing" itself is an excellent subject for shooting and expressing.

"When we photograph this destruction and what you call 'nothingness', we are actually expressing a position that is the opposite of it, which is to defend the free and unfettered life we ​​have now and the world that provides us with all this."

Putting down the camera, Haiyun stood at the edge of the deep pit and looked down, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had never personally experienced the time when the Flash Team was causing chaos, nor had he personally participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Flash Team and the hunt for the remnants, he could imagine the cruelty of that period just from the fragmentary remains and couldn't help but sigh.

Not far behind him, the eloquent alliance tour guide and the tourists who exclaimed from time to time seemed to have distanced themselves from him.

"Come on, don't think too much. Let's go to the Flare Team's base together. There are many stories there. If you are interested, how about I tell you?"
