This elf world is a bit strange

A dark ghost shadow condensed in the air. Unintentionally, the power of the dream demon was fully released, even exceeding a limit that originally belonged to it.

A light pink mark appeared on his body, and pure life force descended from the sky, like another [Fairy Aura].

"Swish"

Inspired by this, the Carp King, who was at the end of his strength, mustered up his last bit of courage and will, pinned everything on one final leap, and rushed out from the bottom of the water again.

"click"

The last of the decayed fish scales fell off the body, revealing a brand new one with a hint of golden light.

“Kui…”

"thump"

Finally, amidst gazes filled with complex expressions and encouragement, the giant Magikarp crossed the steep slope that had blocked itself and its tribe for who knows how many years, and climbed onto the pool of water that was no longer a dream but an obsession engraved in its bones.

"Quick!——"

Amid the roar, the faint white light bloomed completely.

"It's not that you can turn into a dragon just by crossing the Dragon Gate, but because..." Looking at the growing light, Firion murmured, "Only when you truly become a dragon can you have the ability to cross this Dragon Gate. Life is really... magical and great."

"Gala!——"

Amidst the majestic roar, a giant dragon nearly ten meters long came into view.

Tyrannosaurus

Sex: male

Attributes: water, flying

Ability: Intimidate

Energy accumulation: 27 → 33

"Swish"

The purple-black light shot towards the waterfall in the distance, exploding and shattering in the Milky Way that fell from the sky.

The huge body danced in the air. The evolved Gyarados was not at all shocked by the other majestic peak and the majestic waterfall in front of it. Instead, it rushed forward without fear and joined the large group that was strengthening their bodies.

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

"Gai...Gai La..."

It's a good thing to have ambition, but some things are beyond your control.

The water of the waterfall contained some special energy and was very powerful. Even after its evolution, Gyarados's strength was not outstanding, but its body size was much larger than its peers, so it was unsurprisingly overwhelmed and unable to breathe.

After struggling to get up for several times and failing, Gyarados left the center of the waterfall with difficulty with the help of King Nabo.

Looking at the obstacles that once again stood in front of him, the ambition in Gyarados's eyes did not diminish in the slightest, but instead burned even more.

But this time it did not continue its practice.

"Gala."

After exchanging a glance with the excited Dream Demon, Gyarados silently lowered his head and expressed his emotions.

"Madge! Madge!"

As if he was more excited than if he had accomplished something great himself, the little dream demon rushed forward and gently patted Gyarados' forehead. He was in high spirits, and his big smile was brighter than the sun in the sky.

Perhaps it itself has not yet realized that a dormant power suppressed in the subconscious is slowly awakening in its body, rushing to its limbs and bones along with its revived mind.

This is not a one-sided gift.

Gyarados received help from Firion and Incubus, but also used his own tenacity to teach the pair a life lesson.

"Gala!"

He looked at the dream demon deeply, his complex eyes filled with awe, gratitude and expectation.

After going through hardships to get to where he is today, Gyarados has understood a lot. Just as Firion once said to Mewtwo, some scenery can only be seen by the weak. But it is not that you can see the scenery itself, but that only if you are not strong enough can you understand its preciousness.

"Maggie..."

The Dream Demon nodded solemnly. It understood the unspoken words in Gyarados' eyes.

Then, it laughed.

The strange power of colored beans.

Double Axe War Dragon in the forest.

There are also Xerneas and Mewtwo, who are so powerful that they make people despair.

In front of these Pokémon, the Dream Monster itself is weak.

Failure and the overwhelming gap in strength made it somewhat self-doubting, and it could not find the "scenery" that it had believed in before.

In front of Gyarados, it is the stronger one, but it sees and understands Gyarados's "scenery".

Taking concrete existence as opponent and target is direct, but it is also a blind spot.

The only one who is truly worth surpassing again and again in life is yourself.

The so-called scenery is the new world you see after transcending yourself. It may be bumpy or simple, but it must be novel and full of charm.

"Gala!"

Seeing the smile of the Dream Demon, Gyarados opened his mouth wide, and his ferocious face was also full of smiles.

The nimble blue beard waved gently and touched the dream demon's forehead.

When the anger burns out in the all-out challenge to oneself, what remains is calmness.

"call"

The huge body soared into the air, and after taking a last look at Firion and the Nightmare who were watching them leave, Gyarados, having fulfilled its wish and completed its repayment, floated downstream and returned to its habitat, the lower reaches of the river which was definitely not beautiful.

There, there are ethnic groups that share its honor and disgrace, and it is the root of its life.

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

Gyarados had disappeared, and the fellow trainees saw Firion and Incubus standing there in a daze, and they couldn't help but feel worried, so they all came forward.

The cold water dripped all over the ground, and even the air became a little cooler.

"Madge!"

Surrounded by his companions, the reluctance and relief in the dream demon's eyes gradually faded, and he turned back into his former happy and confident self. He flew lightly to the top of Firion's head and grabbed two small locks of hair.

But this time, the depression hidden beneath the happiness has quietly dissipated.

The knot that had troubled it for a long time was finally untied by chance.

"It cannot give up responsibility and pursuit, but it can have both. This is actually a kind of happiness, but it is not exactly the same as what we yearn for."

Caressing the little dream demon who had become sunny and cheerful again, Firio sighed softly, as if he was speaking to the dream demon, and to everyone, but it seemed more important that he was speaking to himself.

Since leaving Sala, the place where I grew up, I have traveled across half of the Kalos continent. Countless experiences have triggered many thoughts that I would never have considered before.

Honor, victory, morality, truth... so many things fill the originally free and open-minded heart.

But in the final analysis, what really matters is the initial expectation and longing.

"Buy!"

The Sun Eevee raised its tail high and wrapped it around Firion's wrist, its soft eyes revealing a determined look.

"Empe."

Emperor Nabo was as calm and confident as ever, standing there like an indestructible piece of fine steel, which made people feel at ease.

"Qi...Qiduo!"

The big-mouthed kid turned his head away proudly, crossing his arms across his chest, but the honest big jaws grabbed Firio's hanging hand, causing the bow on his arm to tremble.

"Elu~Elu?"

The cheerful wind fairy jumped up, took advantage of the breeze, and held the dream fairy in his wet and cool arms. The two wet little guys hugged each other.

"Como!"

"Jera!"

Kabutosaurus and Heartscale moved forward at the same time and came to Firio's side. They were not good at speaking and only used their body language to express their feelings at the moment.

The setting sun was gradually sinking into the mountains, and the brightness was mixed with a slight dimness.

The sunset always comes earlier in autumn and winter.

"I have always believed that we will keep going together, constantly surpassing our own limits and realizing all our dreams. As long as we are together, nothing is impossible."

As he spoke, Firion leaned down and with great effort embraced the seven Pokémon that were gathered in a ball. As they continued to evolve and grow, this action became more and more difficult, but also more and more sweet.

The bodies pressed tightly together transmitted each other's body temperature. They were so close that they seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeat. Even though they had just walked out of an icy pool of water, there was not a trace of coldness, only warm interaction.

......

......

"With so many people coming and going, you are the first one who looks at these Magikarp straight in the eye. No wonder you have such a good relationship with your Pokémon."

As I was enjoying the peaceful embrace, a soft female voice suddenly came from not far behind me - it seemed a little cunning.

"This... who are you?"

Firion looked up in surprise, turned around and saw that the person who came was the girl who inspired him to climb the mountain but disappeared quietly halfway.

She was holding the huge wooden basin full of washed clothes at her side.

At this moment, Firio suddenly realized that he was too focused and did not even use his superpowers to the fullest to be alert to the situation around him.

But even so, it is extremely rare for someone to get so close to you so easily.

"Why are you so surprised? Because I didn't tell you in advance? Are you scared? This shouldn't be the case. The people who followed me up the mountain should be very brave."

Smiling gently, the girl gently put down the wash basin in her hand and extended her right hand towards Firio.

"I really like those Pokémon over there that always foolishly challenge this steep slope. Since you like them too, it's worth getting to know each other. I'm Brilanche, please teach me."

Chapter 180: Would you consider wearing a white beret? (6500)

"Swish"

Before Firion could reach out his hand, a blue light shot out uncontrollably from Brilanche's body.

Immediately afterwards, the dream demon that was lying on top of Firion's head disappeared.

"Boom"

With a slight sound, it appeared above Brilanche's head, which was completely bewildering.

"Ah... this again!"

She picked up the dream demon who had not yet figured out the current situation and returned it to Firion, who had a complicated expression on his face. Then, Brilanche hit her head in annoyance.

It seems that this is not the first time something like this has happened.

Firio was a little curious and asked, "Is this... a superpower?"

"I guess so. Although it is completely out of my control, it comes when I want and runs when I want. Sigh..." Brilanche sighed, "Fortunately it is not a great ability. It just pulls Pokémon from far away to my side. It would be troublesome if it causes damage. Oh, by the way, I haven't asked yet, what is your name?"

With fair skin, delicate facial features, a smiling face and a soft voice, people can't feel bad about her.

But vaguely, Firio's keen sixth sense told him that something seemed not quite right - although there was no sign of any danger.

"I am Firion, and as you can see, I am a traveler who travels with my companions."

Putting aside the random thoughts in his mind, Firion smiled, stretched out his hand, and gently shook hands with Brilanche.

Although there was a minor incident, it was not serious.

Only the little dream demon, who had landed steadily on Firio's head again, was still dazed, bewildered by his sudden superpowers.

"Traveler? That's great! I was traveling a few years ago, but now I'm getting lazy!" Brilanche rested her hands on her chin, looking nostalgic. "But judging from your attitude towards that big Magikarp, I believe you can achieve something. Didn't the famous Professor Oak say that trust and love are the keys to success?"

"Well, I agree with Professor Oak's point of view, although I may not be able to learn the way he gets along with Pokémon." Firio nodded knowingly, walked to the edge of the pool and sat down, looking at the majestic waterfall, and smiled, "After all, his body of steel that can withstand attacks from all kinds of Pokémon is not something that most people have."

"Hahahahaha! I didn't expect you to be a fan introduced by his illustrated book, so we are like-minded people! You are indeed an interesting guy!"

With a bell-like laugh, Brilanche sat down, placed the washbasin full of clothes beside her, and looked at Firion with more interest.
