This elf world is a bit strange

However, unlike the legends that everyone knows, this huge pink crystal, which has been regarded as the most accurate timekeeping tool by the Kalos people, is not a meteorite that fell from the sky. There are no traces of impact or compression on the soil and rock layers below it. It is as if it appeared out of thin air in this giant lake.

For countless years, it has stood unchanged in the center of the lake, without any unusual movement during the day. After nightfall, such changes will occur in just one or two hours.

In recent years, Dr. Buratano has come here many times to conduct investigations and research. Although there is still no progress, he has at least confirmed and substantiated a statement from AZ: the fluctuations emitted by this huge crystal every night are directly related to the mega evolution of Pokémon, and the life form corresponding to such fluctuations is very different from modern Pokémon, and is closer to many fossil Pokémon or ancient Pokémon specimens.

In a sense, this may confirm a long-standing academic speculation that the result of mega evolution is that some qualified Pokémon, with the help of trainers and special items, can temporarily regress to their ancestors and possess some of the power of ancient Pokémon.

Such power naturally attracted the attention of all parties. The Kalos Alliance, major research institutes, and even the once-prosperous Vladari Research Institute and the Flare Team behind it, all invested a lot of energy in the hope of thoroughly studying the crystal. They did not seek to fully utilize the mysterious power within it, but as long as they could gain something, it would definitely be a breakthrough.

It's a pity that even AZ, who surpassed human intelligence three thousand years ago, was unable to read anything from it. He only drew some inspiration from the energy dissipated every night and added a key touch to the "ultimate weapon".

Even the extremely intelligent AZ is like this, and modern people are even more like a tiger trying to eat the sky, with nowhere to start. Looking at the unchanging crystal, they are at a loss. Countless attempts, in the end, are all in vain.

Not only is there little progress in the analysis of internal energy in crystals, but research in other areas has also been slow.

The reason why the sundial crystal undergoes such changes is still a complete academic blank. No one can explain the composition of the spontaneously rotating golden metal rings and the light spots in the sky. Their existence is even more mysterious than the crystal itself.

After a long period of research, there were very few answers, and the few that were there only caused more confusion.

Over time, the research enthusiasm surrounding this magical crystal gradually faded.

The Kalos Alliance reduced its funding and simply blocked and protected the crystals.

Seeing that they were unable to produce results, the major research institutes quickly shifted their focus and turned a blind eye to the issue.

The originally enthusiastic Flare Team was no longer able to spare any energy after the Fradali Research Institute was closed down.

Now, only the local research institute in Baike and the tireless Bratano come here to monitor from time to time, trying to find some new clues, but they almost always return empty-handed.

It is a great pity that a huge treasure mountain visible to the naked eye is right in front of us, but people are always unable to enter it.

Speaking of this, Ge Jihua also seemed much more depressed. As the owner of Baike Gym who witnessed the rise and fall of sundial research with her own eyes, her feelings about these things were far beyond the understanding of any outsider or ordinary participant.

This also includes Firio, who had some knowledge of this series of events in advance.

Compared to Gejihua's deep emotion, Firio thought a lot while listening to her talk about legends and research.

The memory of this mysterious sundial in the previous life and the results of various studies in this life have blended together and brought many inspirations, but ultimately returned to chaos and turned into a complex sigh.

"Why, do you also feel sorry about these?" Hearing Firio's sigh, Ge Jihua thought he was sad about his heavy burden. Her heart warmed, and she smiled and comforted him, "There is nothing we can do about it. We can't be impatient or depressed. We will always find a way in the future. After all, nothing can stop us from moving forward."

As if that was not enough, she patted the irregular crystal protrusions and raised her voice slightly: "Besides, we are not completely unsuccessful. Don't you want to know what other magical places there are here? Hand me your bracelet."

As she spoke, she held out her hand, palm facing up, and looked at Firion encouragingly.

"Bracelet?"

Firion thought of something and frowned slightly, but he still obediently rolled up his sleeves, revealing the keystone bracelet he had been wearing on his left wrist since the day he set out.

"You must be wondering why it's not possible during the day but only now, right?"

Seeing through Filio's little thoughts at a glance, Ge Jihua raised his eyebrows with a smile, and pulled Filio over gently.

"Everyone only has one chance, so feel the magic of the supernatural. Big Mouth, you come out too!"

The big hand transformed into superpowers pressed lightly, and the Poké Ball on Firion's waist quickly popped open, pulling the confused Big Mouth to Firion's side.

"Qido...?"

The big-mouthed baby, who had been dozing off since the battle, had a look of confusion and ignorance on his face, and he didn't know what had happened.

"It's too early for Kabutosaurus to mega-evolution, but it's just right for Maw. Firion, Maw, concentrate and don't let go!"

Without waiting for it to react, Gejihua grabbed its wrist and Firio's wrist in one hand each and gently put the two together.

The soft fingertips lightly touched the key stone containing unknown power.

"Qi...Qiduo?!"

With an exclamation, colorful phantom light shot out from the key stone, shining on the huge corona, flickering continuously.

"Swish"

The huge crystal lit up instantly, like a beacon in the darkness.

All the light spots in the sky disappeared, and the rotating rings also stopped quietly.

Everything fell still, only the beam of light rising into the sky exuded a mysterious aura that pointed directly to the origin of life.

The invisible repulsive force instantly spread out with the key stone on Firion's wrist as the center.

In a blink of an eye, Gejihua was pushed back repeatedly until he was more than ten meters away, and only stopped steadily with the help of two Meowth and a particularly strong Slowking.

The three powerful King Pokémon were obviously not experiencing such a scene for the first time. They remained calm and looked quietly at the source of the repulsive force.

There, Firio and Big Mouth had their eyes closed, surrounded by colorful rays of light, and stood still.

The colorful keystone radiates scorching heat.

"…Why is it so hot?"

The rolling heat waves surged in all directions, causing Ge Jihua to frown slightly and mutter.

Although she had guided dozens of trainers to complete this special ritual, she had never seen such a scene before.

According to past experience, the repulsive force will only last for a moment, and it will be over as long as you hold the other person tightly and do not let go.

Under the baptism of the light spots temporarily named "evolution particles", the partners who pass the test can sense the mega stone corresponding to themselves with the help of the key stone.

This was a long-established path, but suddenly some not-so-significant changes occurred.

Dazzling colorful lights, lingering repulsive force, and surging heat waves.

Everything was beyond expectation.

"Shin"

"Shiny"

While Gejihua was deep in thought, the ring that should have remained still began to rotate again, making a metallic friction sound that had never been heard before.

Spots of light fell from the sky again, but they were no longer brilliant gold, but a mixture of seven colors.

"Lord Gejihua, what... is going on?"

The three people who were sent far away rushed over. Before they got close, Xue Ruier asked loudly.

Ge Jihua shook her head slightly, her tone ambiguous: "I don't know, but it shouldn't be a bad thing."

The starlight of superpowers has already spread, and the star tracks of destiny are spreading again, but nothing can be seen clearly.

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

warmth.

Very warm.

It's like lying on a kotatsu on a cold winter day.

It’s like escaping from danger and being embraced by the one you love.

In the colorful world, Firio opened his eyes lazily and reluctantly.

There was only light all around, no sky or earth, only light.

"Qido!"

The big-mouthed kid seemed to wake up before Firion and was looking at him with concern.

A pair of small hands tightly held Firio's arms, with a slightly nervous look in the eyes.

"Don't worry, it's probably not that bad..."

"Swish"

Just when he was about to comfort the big-mouthed kid who looked stubborn but was not that strong inside, a dazzling light shot into Firio's eyes, and a sharp pain blocked his remaining words.

Maybe it was a few seconds, maybe it was a few minutes. In this strange world without any reference, time had no meaning.

After finally getting used to the sudden bright light, Firio forced himself to open his eyes and immediately spotted the "culprit" - a huge symbol of evolution.

"This……"

"Qido..."

Confused and hesitant, the man and the Pokémon looked at each other and read the same message from each other's eyes.

But in this empty world, they have no choice.

"Hold my hand, we are together, don't be afraid."

Hearing the sound, Firio tried to step forward and comfort the frightened Big Mouth Baby.

The big-mouthed baby's soft, boneless little hand was gently held in the palm of his hand.

I stepped lightly, and even though there was no foothold, I still floated forward easily.

The closer you get, the stronger the sense of call and attraction the huge symbol of evolution brings.

The impulse coming from the depths of their souls and the instinct of life made Firio and Big Mouth Baby involuntarily reach out their hands and touch it at the same time.

"boom"

At the moment of contact, an invisible explosion exploded deep in the minds of both the man and the Pokémon.

In an instant, the world spun and they all lost consciousness, leaving behind only a distorted and collapsed unknown world.

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

When the man and the Pokémon woke up again, the first thing they saw was Gejihua's concerned look.

The soft touch beneath him told him that this should be a comfortable big bed.

"Madge!"

"Buy!"

The anxious Incubus and Sol Eevee rushed forward, asking and looking anxiously.

"Awake? You slept for quite a long time, two days already."

Ge Jihua, who looked tired, breathed a sigh of relief and joked in a nonchalant manner.

"So long? I think I was in a particularly bright world with Big Mouth for a short while, and then I touched a pattern that was the same as the one on the keystone."

Gently pressing his slightly swollen temple, Firio sorted out his memories that were confused and fragmented due to his sleepiness.

"Qi...Duo..."

As they were talking, Big Mouth Baby slowly woke up, also looking confused.

"Evolutionary pattern..."

Pondering, Ge Jihua recalled the last scene of that day.

The rings that kept making the "clacking" sound seemed like a machine that had been running for countless years and was about to be scrapped.

After shining for a long time, the huge crystals seemed to lose their strength and became flickering.

The colorful light surrounding Filio and Big Mouth Baby gradually converged, and finally turned into an extremely clear evolutionary pattern, which was integrated into the keystone on Filio's wrist.

Then, two faint rays of light shot out from it, merged into the bodies of a man and a Pokémon, and disappeared.

After completing all this, they immediately fell to the ground unconscious and were hurriedly rescued by Meowth and Slowpoke who were well prepared, and rushed to the hospital.

I slept for two days.

"So... do you feel anything different? I've been bombarded with calls from Nazi and Korni these past two days. If anything really happens, they'll probably hate me to death."

Sighing helplessly, Ge Jihua felt that she was getting old too fast, and her tone sounded particularly vicissitudes of life.

It was just a natural little ceremony, but it became so complicated.

"A different feeling? No, right..."

Carefully feeling the condition inside his body, Firion frowned and shook his head.

"Except for a vague feeling, it seems to be... in the west! Very far away and very vague..."

"Qido!"

The same goes for Big Mouth Baby.

Not only did I not feel anything special, but I felt in great shape due to sufficient rest.

The only special thing is that faint call.

"Phew... that's all right." Gejihua's brows relaxed, revealing a relaxed smile. He gently patted Firio's shoulder and said softly, "This shows that the ceremony was successful. Congratulations, Firio and Big Mouth. The summons you feel is a mega stone that has not been used by anyone yet and belongs to Big Mouth."
