This elf world is a bit strange

In front of the man and his Pokémon were seven large trucks that had stopped steadily.

Inside the car, all the poachers and the Poké Balls on their waists were transformed into lifelike stone statues.

Although there was a huge crack on its shell, it was obvious that the Water Arrow Turtle was quite powerful. It was in a guarding posture and stood in front of Scarface.

As one of the stone statues in the full car.

The shackles that bound the wild Pokémon were quietly broken, and the scars on the Pokémon in the cage were restored to their original state invisibly.

"Hello, young trainer. This is our third meeting. Of course, it may be the second time for you. I am AZ, the 'former wise king' as you call him. Of course, I am just an ordinary wanderer now."

AZ strode towards Firion, who was walking towards him with a complicated expression, and extended his hand.

"As you said, life and death are inseparable twins. I'm sorry to have overheard your conversation, but I think what you said makes sense, as well as the part about God's power and human nature. However, after seeing God's power, do you still think so?"

With his long grey hair hanging down, AZ's voice sounded a little old, but clearly more lively.

He lowered his head, his eyes full of questioning and scrutiny.

"Fula!"

The petal smiled sweetly and floated to Philio's side. The flower tapped lightly and bits of energy fell.

"Bang" "Bang"

The two Poké Balls bounced off instantly, and the confused Togaman and Mouth appeared next to Firion.

Under the stimulation of "Energy Rain", the fatigue caused by eating battle blocks was swept away.

All the injuries on his body healed quickly, and even the energy aura was slowly rising, which was not obvious but clearly visible.

"E...Lu...?"

The wind fairy slowly opened her eyes, the coldness had gone away, leaving only the warmth surrounding her body.

"Xin Bu!"

"boom--"

Amid the explosion, the car door broke open and wild Pokémon poured out.

Chapter 114 AZ and the True Meaning of Life and Death

"Mr. AZ, from what you said, you have been paying attention to me? Can you tell me why?"

In response to AZ's question, Filio asked a question instead of answering it.

Although the man in front of him looked very friendly, Firio still did not dare to be careless when thinking of his strength, wisdom and past deeds.

Even if Hua Yeti forgave him, there was no guarantee that everything would be safe.

Feeling Firio's fear, AZ laughed at himself and said, "You know my situation, so it's reasonable for you to be wary. However, I have no ill intentions, please believe me."

The little giant, who was three meters tall, sat on the ground casually, his tone sincere and not fake.

"I just think that you're someone who understands what it means to be a trainer, and that you're worth getting to know, that's all. So, could you talk to me for a few minutes before the police arrive? Probably only ten minutes."

"Is that so? Of course, I'll be happy to accompany you. I also want to receive the teachings of the wise man who has been seeking for three thousand years."

When their eyes met, Firion understood a lot. He let go of the hand and let the wind fairy reunite with its companions, while he sat next to AZ without any precautions.

"Teaching? That's not the case. On the contrary, it was your words yesterday that inspired me. It's a pity that I lacked the courage at that time. I thought I would never have the chance to meet again, but unexpectedly, something like this happened suddenly. It was also the guidance of fate."

AZ smiled and waved his hands, moving his shoulders so that Huayedi, who had just completed the treatment and blessing for the Wind Fairy and several Pokémon and was now a little tired, could sit more comfortably.

"So, let's go back to my original question. After seeing the power of God, do you still think so? Although we are still far from the real power of God. But don't you desire the power that can change everything?"

Hearing AZ's seemingly casual but actually very serious question, Firio laughed.

He had already guessed the other party's intention.

He never expected that a rookie like him could get the same treatment as the five-member xy team.

"You should know my answer. I don't really pursue or believe in the so-called 'changing everything'. I only believe in the power that people or myself can master, or at least understand. And, I guess your next question is, facing the people and society that make you despair, would you be unwilling to save it, right?"

With a smile on his face, Firion did not hide anything. After all, it was not easy to hide things from a wise man whose wisdom was beyond his time.

"...It seems that you do know a lot of things."

AZ nodded, looking unexpected but reasonable. He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Well, listen to a story told by me, an old man left behind by history."

Firion smiled and nodded: "With pleasure."

......

......

It was similar to but also different from the different pieces of history that Firion was familiar with.

AZ's experience is filled with more pain and struggle, as well as thousands of years of unfulfilled desire.

In the Hundred Years' War between Kalos and Galar, countless people and Pokémon died, and countless towns were reduced to ruins.

Anger, fear, and hatred became the only remaining emotions of that era.

And, the indescribable exhaustion from both the body and the mind.

The death of Hua Yedi in the war, and the uncontrollable trembling of AZ's body, the despair and resentment in his heart when he saw the small box.

The resurrection machine was created with all efforts, it is a miraculous creation that transcends the barriers of time and the boundaries between man and God.

The eternal light of life and the life stone statues scattered throughout Route 10.

After knowing everything, Hua Yeti chose to exile herself under heavy burden and great loneliness.

The war is still going on, the hatred is still continuing, the anger is still accumulating, and the fatigue is increasing. The "ultimate weapon" has become a reality.

The "petals" from birth to death bloomed on the fields of Kalos and in the boundless sea, bringing equal destruction.

The end of all things, the end of the Hundred Years' War, and the irreversible end of the Kingdom of Kalos.

Three thousand years of self-exile, crossing countless regions, experiencing countless histories and civilizations, can only be a witness to reincarnation again and again.

The departed companions were never reunited, and everything sought was in vain. Human power is so insignificant in the face of history that it is not worth mentioning.

Then he saw his brother's descendants, saw the ideal of the world, and saw indifference, hedonism and alienation.

A new cycle is about to begin. The same core lies beneath the different exteriors, which is despairing.

Until he saw the combination of hope and future, and of "human kindness".

And the one who reawakened from the form of a tree, the true eternal god of life, Xerneas.

Everything came to an end.

The "key" that had been with him for three thousand years was eventually destroyed in the hands of the young Bricaron and was completely buried by history.

Word by word, the picture painted by endless time slowly unfolds as AZ tells his story.

......

......

"But... in the end the weapon was destroyed, but it did not completely disappear. It is still in people's hearts, and it is still gestating in some corner of this world."

"The only thing that can eliminate despair is hope, not another kind of despair. But the irony is that the latter is precisely the guarantee of hope. In the end, what we can expect is only 'humanity that harnesses power'."

"It's like the light of destruction on the petals of a flower. It's called destruction, but in reality it's the interweaving of life and death."

“Powerful force sometimes has two sides. It all depends on how you use it. If you have good intentions, it is the light of salvation. If you have hatred in your heart, it is the blade of revenge.”

"Young man, you must know that the power of God is not something that cannot be pursued, but one must not lose oneself in the process of pursuing it. God is neither lovable nor terrifying. He is also an ordinary creature, just different from us."

"Hua Yeti and I also gradually realized this in our long lives. Although it may not be correct, it may give you some reference and reference."

“I hope that more and more people will have hope.”

In the distance, sirens could be faintly heard and flames could be vaguely seen.

"It seems that our conversation can only end here. I am sorry for eavesdropping on your conversation in Shixiang Town before, but I think you are somewhat similar to someone I know. I hope you can always keep the original intention like today."

AZ stood up slowly and nodded apologetically, his eyes full of expectation and instructions.

"Fula!"

The flower petal waved the long-extinct eternal flower and said goodbye gently.

"As I said at the beginning, you are someone who understands the meaning of being a trainer. This is better than what I thought for three thousand years. We will bless you. We will meet again if we are destined to. I hope that by then you will still be not confused and can still overcome all obstacles with hope."

Bowing slightly, under the gaze of Firio, AZ and Huayedi disappeared into the woods in a moment, seemingly slowly but actually very quickly.

"You can tell them about my story. Don't worry about it. Put the stone statues of those evildoers on the roadside as a warning. Those who create despair should also welcome the hope of all things with a desperate attitude."

"Also, don't be sad about your reduced abilities, it's just that the time has not come yet!"

The free and easy voice came into Firio's ears along with the breeze.

The last ray of light and heat from the setting sun slowly dissipated.

It's night.

......

......

"Hope and despair... It seems that he has indeed been changed a lot by Senior Hua Yi."

Staring into the empty distance, Firion muttered to himself.

"Elu-Elu!"

"Machimachi!"

While he was thinking, a sound in the distance attracted his attention.

Shaking his head, getting rid of all the nonsense in his mind, he turned around and faced the chirping little guys.

Compared with the vague grand propositions and the distant future, he values ​​the tangible and perceptible present more.

A future that is temporarily beyond our reach is not yet the future, and thinking too much about it will only cause trouble.

......

......

In the clearing in the forest, hundreds of wild Pokémon gathered together.

"Elu..."

Encouraged by his companions and elders, the wind fairy stepped forward timidly, honestly apologized for his morning prank, and expressed his gratitude to the dream fairy and others.

"Madge?!"

Upon hearing that the one who teased him with spores was actually the wind fairy fighting side by side with him, the shocked little dream demon jumped three feet high.

Immediately afterwards, the little face puffed up into a small bun.

The vengeful little dream demon has not forgotten the prank he played in the morning.

It turns out it's you!

He actually played with us for most of the day!

"Elu..."

The wind fairy sniffed her delicate little nose and lowered her head obediently and pitifully.

"Machi...Machi!"

The little dream demon sighed helplessly.

Now that things have come to this, we can only forgive it.

After all, you can't bother with a wounded person, especially since he had protected Firion.

The little dream fairy floated forward, patted the wind fairy on the shoulder, and comforted it like a little adult.

"Elu? Elu Elu!"

The overjoyed wind fairy rushed forward and hugged the little dream fairy affectionately.

But from an angle where the dream demon couldn't see, it chuckled like a little fox whose plan had succeeded.

A little bit of cotton wool flew out from behind and brushed against the tip of the dream demon's nose again when it was not prepared.
