This elf world is a bit strange

But soon, she failed in a second and burst out laughing.

"Anyway~ let's get going~!"

With a smile on her face, Korni acted coquettishly while shaking Firio's hand.

Laughing, the two walked forward together.

......

......

The northern section of Route 8, the seaside resort area, has always been quite popular due to its beautiful environment and convenient transportation near Haruka.

However, due to the collapse of the tunnel a few days ago and the subsequent strict control initiated by the alliance, the number of tourists traveling here for vacation has dropped sharply recently.

The beach, which used to be bustling with tourists, now seemed a bit deserted, and the people doing business here also indirectly suffered from the disaster of the Flare Team.

However, this is obviously not a bad thing for Firio and Korni.

They rented a parasol and a beach chair from a warm and talkative owner, changed into the beach clothes and swimsuits that Kornie had prepared, and lay down comfortably, feeling the coolness in the hot weather.

With Miss Korney's careful planning, the first morning of the trip naturally turned into a vacation at the seaside.

"Machi~"

"Buyi~"

The Eevee and the Solevil, who had gone out for extra training last night, yawned lazily and lay aside to catch up on their sleep.

The two spiritual seeds that have become shriveled over the past few days and the talismans that have become increasingly dim are reflections of their efforts.

Goblin, Pogamon and Wind Fairy were running around on the beach, playing and fighting, while practicing some simple skills and having a lot of fun.

Master Itachi and Wrestling Hawkman also joined in with a smile, as well as the two future main forces that Korne had only recently begun to train, Heracross and Kirliam.

There was only Weird, who didn't like the crowds and still stayed in the Poké Ball, and Lucario, who clearly wanted to play but still pretended to be cool and stood next to Korne.

"Lucario, you should go play with them too, and teach Kotaku and Pogo sticks a lesson~! I see they have made great progress recently."

Seeing her good partner's excitement, Korni pointed ahead with a smile and found a perfect reason for it.

After just a few words, Lucario happily (crossed out) and reluctantly joined the playful team.

So, under the parasol, only Firio and Korni were left.

"Filio~ I need to put on sunscreen!"

Without the Pokémon in the way, Miss Korni's true colors were revealed. She turned over lightly and lay on the recliner, revealing her smooth back.

"Oh that's fine."

Since Miss Cucumber came to him on her own initiative, there was no reason for Philio not to accept her.

......

......

"Wow~ It feels so good! I want to eat shaved ice, you feed me! I'm a wounded soldier, my fingers hurt!"

Contented, Korni lay in the shade of a sun-shaded beach chair, ordering Firio around in a very arrogant manner.

"Buyi? Buyi~"

The dozing Sun Eevee opened one eye, glanced around, and fell asleep again.

On the beach ahead, Big Mouth was running around practicing rock blockade.

A disc produced by Chaklo must not be an ordinary disc. This collection of Haruka Dojo can be played repeatedly, allowing Big Mouth to get started quickly. Now he can already condense small stones.

However, this was not only due to the disc and its own understanding and hard work, but also to a hard stone that Filio bought from Chaklo.

The treasure originally cost one million Alliance coins, but he finally bought it at a friendly price of nine hundred thousand.

Not far away, Pogamon was holding the metal membrane that he had just received a few days ago, flapping his little wings, and practicing skills with Lucario while playing, especially Steel Wings and Swallow Return.

Unable to bear the sunburn, the wind fairy ran back to Firio and Korni, sat in the shade, and held the miracle seed tightly in his arms.

It threw small energy balls far into the empty sea, creating beautiful splashes of water.

While having fun, it is also honing its energy control, striving to achieve the right balance between relaxation and tension, and the ability to release and control energy freely.

"Here you go, the shaved ice you ordered is lemon-flavored. It will be more refreshing."

As Korni was eagerly waiting, Firio walked back quickly with shaved ice in his hand.

"Alas--"

After taking a sip, a cool feeling rushed to her forehead. Korni's big eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked cute but also a little lazy.

"Elu~Elu~"

The wind fairy came over and opened her little mouth.

It wants to eat too.

"It's very cold, would you like some?"

Korni curled the corners of her mouth, took the small spoon from Firio, scooped out a large piece and handed it over.

"Elu!"

The wind fairy swallowed it all in one gulp.

"Elu?!——"

The cold feeling made the little lamb shiver all over, and it quickly went into Philio's arms.

"Elu~!"

When the coolness passed, the little head popped out again, with a flattering smile.

It wants to eat some more.

"Qiduo? Qiduo Qiduo!"

In the distance, the big-mouthed kid who was in training saw that the food was coming, so he didn't care about anything else and rushed over running and jumping.

This was not a big deal, as a long line of little gluttons followed behind him, and even the comfortably sleeping little dream fairy was awakened. It pounced on the wind fairy and pushed her aside, then ate the shaved ice that Korni fed her in one gulp.

"Maggie~Maggie~?"

Humming a tune of his own, the spirited dream demon danced freely in the air.

"We have everything. I'll go get some from the boss right away. Besides shaved ice, what else do you want?"

The little guys whose food was snatched away couldn't help laughing. Filio stood up shakily, took out his mobile phone, found the boss who had an expression of "as expected", and placed the order readily.

With all the eating and playing, half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

It was not until three or four o'clock that the clouds gradually increased and the weather became slightly cooler.

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

“Traveling is great!”

Holding the ice cream cone she bought before leaving in one hand and holding Firio in the other, Korni said comfortably.

"You're not traveling, you're on vacation, and you have people waiting on you."

Firio said this as he held a parasol for Cornelia.

Hearing this, Korni glanced at him and said threateningly: "What? You don't want to?"

"How could that be? I couldn't be more willing. I just feel that the time I have to travel with you is still too short."

Firio lowered his head slightly, and while speaking, he blew into Korni's small and delicate ears, making her cheeks slightly red.

"That's better. I'll give you a bite!"

Cucumber is satisfied.jpg

After playing, training, eating and drinking, the little ones were already a little tired. Plus, the temperature outside was still quite high, so they all huddled up in their Poké Balls to rest, giving Firion and Korne a rare moment of alone time.

The neat high ponytail was undone, and the long golden hair was slightly curled, which added a bit of fragility and lovability compared to the normal sweetness.

The scattered sunlight shines through the shade of the parasol, hitting the hair, making it glow faintly.

Slowly moving forward along the coast, the sound of waves washing the shore can be heard from time to time, but Korni's little mouth is never idle, and she has endless things to say.

From the little anecdotes about Sala during this period, to the program he had just watched not long ago, and the training details of Lucario and the others, even the most mundane things, when spoken from her mouth, made Firion feel more interesting. He listened with great interest and responded from time to time.

"...Come to think of it, you are really generous in taking care of the little dream monsters."

As we talked, the topic naturally turned to the cultivation and growth of partners.

Even Korne was impressed by Firion's generosity in taking care of several Pokémon.

Using precious attribute enhancement items and high-level energy blocks for daily training is a heavy burden for her even though she has income from the gym.

"In fact, it's more because they work very hard, so they can absorb and utilize the resources I provide so well."

Firio shook his head, not taking any credit for it, and gently kneaded Korni's fingers, which were as delicate as scallions.

Korni remained calm, gently grasped the hand that was doing the weird thing, and said, "That's true, they are working hard. Ordinary Pokémon can't absorb energy like this. The conversion from strengthening items to their own energy is very hard in itself."

“Of course, they are all the best.”

Firio nodded, and when he talked about his partner, he changed his low-key style and became very humble.

"But that Caidou is not weak either. You are not very good at dealing with her type, right? It's not just a matter of strength. I'm afraid you and her are not compatible."

Looking at him teasingly, Korni thought of their battle appointment not long ago.

"Yes, that is indeed a factor. She fights at a fast pace, and her style tends to be fierce and frontal. Her command level and tacit understanding are also high. There are no flaws to be found. She does not look like a sixteen-year-old at all. Many of my tactics cannot be used against her."

Speaking of Caidou, Firio also recalled the battle with her with some emotion.

As an expert who also has powerful Fighting-type Pokémon, Kornie analyzed, "Especially that monster. It and your Incubus are the types that counter each other. It seems to be good at dealing with paralysis. It will probably be difficult to deal with it next time we meet. If Kog'Maw can mega evolve, it should be easier to deal with."

She didn't watch the entire battle in vain, and took the initiative to give advice to Firion.

"We can only let nature take its course. It's still early anyway."

Shrugging, Firio didn't care too much. He was very confident in his own and his companions' growth.

Pointing at the wild Pokémon that suddenly gathered in front of him, he suggested excitedly:

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Look ahead, there are a lot of long-winged gulls gathered. Do you want to feed them?"

......

......

"Uh-oh!"

"Uh-oh!"

From one or two, to a large group, in a short while, the two were surrounded by a large group of long-winged gulls begging for food from the elves.

This small, gregarious Pokémon has obviously lived and multiplied on this road for many years. Not only is it not afraid of people, but when it sees something delicious, it will call its friends to come forward. It also knows how to act cute, making Korney smile.

"Filio, do you still have that standard elf food?"

Holding a little creature that looked like it had just learned to fly and stroking its tiny beak, Korni asked.

"Of course. I know you can't move once you see a Pokémon you like, so I've prepared a lot."

Bags of Pokémon food were taken out from the space backpack. The regular version of Pokémon food, which is delicious and inexpensive, is an excellent stepping stone to establishing good relationships with wild Pokémon.

"Bey!"

In the air, several seagulls fluttered their wings and hovered to express their gratitude.

Although this generation is rich in resources, especially wild fish, when it comes to nutrition that is more suitable for the little ones to thrive, we still have to look at elf food.

......

......

“Uh-oh~!”

The last one, which was also Korni's favorite little guy, said goodbye reluctantly, flew into the air, dived down from the cliff, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It is going back to its home built on the cliff to rest.

"I think the long-winged gull is really cute. It's small, but if it evolves into a large-billed gull, it will become a little silly and interesting."

As they walked on the road, Korni was still obsessed with the idea and kept talking and gesturing.
