This elf world is a bit strange

"I want to hear something..." Caidou held her chin up, thinking hard, "Oh, I got it. Tell me about your childhood. I'm very curious."

"When I was a kid? Things in my childhood were quite complicated, and I don't remember them clearly."

Firio shook his head slightly. This story was really the hardest to tell because he couldn't remember much at that time.

"At that time, my super powers had not yet awakened, and I was often in a daze. Thanks to Korni who always took me out to play, I felt happier."

"Is there anything that left a particularly deep impression on me?"

Firio's answer obviously did not satisfy Caidou, who was very curious. Instead, it aroused her interest and made her ask more questions impatiently.

"Well... yes, it should be when I was seven or eight years old, she took me to the beach to watch the summer fireworks show. Although I can't remember the specific details now, the fireworks that night still flash before my eyes frequently. It was probably the best one I have ever seen."

As he spoke, Firion closed his eyes. In the pitch-black vision, he could vaguely see the still young Korni and the fireworks that bloomed in the night sky that night.

"That's great."

Caidou was a little envious, because she had almost no experience even as simple and fragmented as this.

At that time, she had no choice but to stay in the dojo at night to practice with her good partner who was also a wrestler.

“Although it’s a bit difficult, it seems like your life is still quite fulfilling and happy.”

"Of course, I cherish that time too. Without the beatings I received back then, I wouldn't be who I am now. The same is true for you, at least you are very strong now. Given time, you might even become the league champion. Don't disown me as your friend then."

As he was sighing, Firio suddenly thought of something and made a joke out of habit.

Unexpectedly, the girl nodded solemnly.

"Champion? Well, I will work hard. Becoming the champion and the strongest fighter is not only the dream of my family, but also the dream of me and the monsters."

She clenched her little fists tightly, and a fierce fighting spirit flashed in her eyes.

"Oh, Caidou actually has such a passionate side? I need to get to know you again, but I believe you can do it, you are a genius."

After seeing the other side of Caidou, Firio felt a little happy and inexplicably relieved.

Although he himself is not a very pure trainer who strives for dreams such as "Master" and "Champion", he respects friends who have such goals and are willing to work hard for them.

"Hehe..." Caidou scratched her head a little embarrassedly. She was still not used to speaking her mind so bluntly. "What about you? What is your dream?"

"My dream? Well... that's a good question. My dream should be to grow together with my friends. It doesn't matter what the goal is. I enjoy the state of progress of becoming stronger and better with everyone."

Firion rubbed the dream demon's little face, and brushed his hands over the trembling Poké Ball that responded to him. His eyes were full of longing and expectation.

Progress and growth are his unremitting pursuit.

“Growing?”

Caidou was thoughtful.

After several days of communication, she gradually began to understand Philio's ideas.

It's not the victory itself, but the thing behind the victory.

Smiling, she stretched out her hand to Firion: "I think I know what you are looking for. Can you be my opponent and partner?"

"Rival and partner... If you want, I'd certainly love it."

Firio was deeply moved by the girl's bright and sunny smile.

He stretched out his hand without hesitation and shook hands with Caidou.

"hiss......"

Perhaps because he used a little too much force, his already injured right arm began to hurt. Caught off guard, Firio gasped and had an exaggerated expression, which made Caidou laugh.

"This time, it can be considered a blessing in disguise. It made me figure out a lot of things. Maybe it's not right to say it at this time, but I'm actually really happy now."

The true feelings were revealed, and Caidou, who had broken free from the shackles, had a pure and flawless smile.

"This is the worst!"

"click"

Just as Firio was about to respond, an unusual noise suddenly came from the rock wall above, interrupting their harmonious conversation.

Firion stood up suddenly and looked at the crack in the cave ceiling.

Unlike the previous small-scale operations, it now began to expand rapidly.

"Solve! Koosh! Pogo! Windy!"

The Poké Ball popped open, and several Pokémon quickly appeared beside him, looking up vigilantly.

On the ground, Caidou's light press opened the air valve of the oxygen cylinder, and the thin air situation improved accordingly.

"Super strength! Octopus martial artist! War dancer! Scallion soldier! Be alert!"

The small space was instantly filled with Pokémon.

The two looked at each other and saw each other's seriousness.

"Relax, we can handle it."

"Ok, I know."

Caidou got ready, and Firion's superpower quickly spread, interweaving with the superpower of Sun Eevee, guarding against a possible collapse at any time.

"Click..."

The slight sound was particularly noticeable in the small cave where the only sound was breathing.

The cracks gradually widened, and the tension between Firio and Caidou slowly accumulated.

"tick"

A drop of sweat slid down Caidou's chin to the ground and broke into countless petals.

"boom--"

There was a loud bang from above, deafening.

The rock wall, which had accumulated cracks to the extreme, completely shattered in an instant.

Countless pieces of rubble fell from above.

"Hold on! Be strong-minded!"

"Hold on!"

The two people who were on high alert shouted at the same time. The layers of green light curtains seemed indestructible with the blessing of super powers.

Several Pokémon flew into the air, and countless attacks landed on the rocks, completely shattering them into powder.

"Swish"

Suddenly, dazzling sunlight shone down from above.

The dazzling white light instantly filled the vision of both of them.

Having stayed in extremely dim conditions for more than three days, they were unable to open their eyes when faced with the glaring afternoon sunlight.

With his eyes tightly closed, tears welled up unconsciously.

A golden red color appeared "in front of my eyes", and even through my eyelids, I felt a stinging sensation.

In a trance, Firion felt that his body was lifted into the air by a soft and familiar force. He didn't know how long he flew before he felt the ground again.

Before he could feel the sunlight and air, two soft bodies hugged him in the middle.

The familiar smell and instinctive mental connection made him realize in an instant that the people who came were none other than Korni and Naz, whom he had missed countless times during his time trapped.

The pressure that had accumulated for a long time turned into an emotional impulse. Bathed in the scorching sun, he stretched out his arms and hugged the beauty tightly.

The long-lost warmth from the outside to the inside made him feel infinitely comfortable and satisfied.

Chapter 124: Aftermath of the Crisis: Rewards and Compensation (2/2)

"I don't think the Geological Bureau will be able to find out anything about this incident for a while. Everything is buried underground. But as long as there is news, the association will support and protect you as soon as possible. You should be more careful when doing missions in the future. Don't rush too far and pay attention to self-protection."

In the hospital, Nils, director of the Fosterers Association, sat by Filio's bed, giving him numerous instructions and warnings, like an elder of the same generation.

Korni sat aside, nodded seriously, and did not forget to hand over a plate of cut fruit.

Nancy, who had just finished talking to her agent at Hezhong, happened to walk in. Seeing this scene, she remained calm, but a hint of murderous intent flashed across her eyes.

Three days had passed since Firio and Caidou were rescued, and this was the third time Director Nils had visited them.

Every afternoon, he decided to come over and sit for a while, seeing that Philio was recovering day by day, and he was in a good state of mind, so he left with peace of mind.

The injuries on Filho's arms and body have basically healed, and a detailed medical examination has not found any problems, so he will be discharged from the hospital soon.

In the past three days, Firion could be said to have been both happy and painful.

While enjoying the care of both Korni and Nancy, he was struggling in the Shura field where the two were omnipresent.

Although the experience of "fighting side by side" deepened the two girls' understanding of each other, it also brought their jealousy from behind the scenes to the surface.

When they are in the presence of "outsiders" like Ge Jihua, Cuban, and Director Niels, they can still maintain peace for the time being, but once they are alone with just the three of them, the situation will suddenly change.

Firion, who was caught between the two, seemed to have suddenly become some kind of "trophy", and sometimes he would be warned by both of them at the same time while trying to reconcile.

The red and blue gemstone earrings of the same style sparkled before his eyes.

The strength of a fighting expert, the energy of a superpower master, any one of them can make him look bad.

So, double the fruit, double the lunchbox, double the recovery training…

In the difficult process of keeping things fair, consideration and coquettishness are often two sides of the same coin.

Fortunately, Shashajin, Haiyun and others often came over, giving Firio some breathing space. There was also Caidou, who lived in the next ward and came to visit from time to time.

Surprisingly, Nancy and Korni, who are always jealous, don't mind the familiarity between Caidou and Firio at all.

Their keen intuition told them that there was no threat.

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

"You over-activated your super powers a few days ago, so you have a headache now, right?"

Firio said softly, pressing gently on the top of Nancy's head with his slender but powerful fingers to relieve the headache that had been bothering her for the past few days.

"...A little bit, but this is much better."

With Korni away, Naz also dropped her cold disguise and admitted it in a low voice.

Filio sighed slightly: "Ah... I really caused you a lot of trouble. Is the movie going well? It has been delayed for so long, will there be any problems?"

"If you say that again I will ignore you."

Nancy suddenly opened her eyes, turned her head, and glared at Firion fiercely.

"It's just a storyboard. My part will be rescheduled to the back. I'm not the heroine anyway."

"You will be the best heroine in the future, better than anyone else, I have no doubt about it."

With his hands on Nancy's shoulders, Firio spoke in a soft tone, but with unwavering conviction.

"...Humph, of course."

Nazi pretended to be proud, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly. Her lover's recognition made her feel extremely comfortable and happy.

"I haven't been sleeping well lately, and my hair quality has been a little bad. Please come and comb my hair for me."

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

"Your finger is badly injured. It must still hurt, right? You need to rest and recover. Don't show off."

Firio felt a little distressed as he gently applied medicine to the fingertips of Korni's hand.

"It's a serious injury! It hurts so much!" Korni rushed forward and rubbed her cheek against Firion's chest. "But it's great that you're okay! I was so worried about you... but I always believed that you would be fine! After all, you bad guy is very lucky!"

"In fact, when I was trapped underground with Miss Caidou, I talked to her about our childhood."

As he carefully bandaged Korni, Firio sighed.

"When I was little? What?"

Korni tilted her little head in a naive manner and asked.

"That was the first time you took me to the beach to watch fireworks that year. Until now, I still think that was the best fireworks display I have ever seen, better than any other."

Gently holding Corny's hand, Firio's eyes were full of tenderness.

"Hehehe, you know what I am good at, right?"
