This elf world is a bit strange

"Uh... I'll go!"

The sudden change caused Firion to let out an uncontrollable cry of pain.

Pain, burning, and some sort of intense pulling force.

The barrier of superpowers is also useless.

"Swish"

In just a moment, he lost consciousness and leaned on the dusty seat.

"M-Machi!"

The terrified dream demon ignored the tearing headache and rushed forward, shaking Firio's head vigorously.

Following closely were the companions who were gradually coming out of the pain. They formed a circle, anxious and confused, but unable to do anything.

On the table, in Firio's palm, the small pendant that was the instigator of everything has returned to its original appearance. Through the dust, you can vaguely see a small smiling face pattern, as if it was "embedded" in the pendant, vivid and lifelike.

"Om-"

Amid the extremely high-frequency vibrations, invisible waves instantly engulfed the consciousness of every Pokémon, not only in this small cave, but all the way out.

Even the Sun Eevee with the strongest mental strength could only hold out for a short moment longer than his companions.

"Bou...Bouy..."

Lying helplessly on Firio's body, there was only a blank in its mind, followed by endless darkness and sleepiness.

Humans and Pokémon were lying on the ground in all directions. Only the sound of even breathing proved the existence of life. Apart from that, everything was silent, just like it had been for countless years.

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

In the white world, Firio slowly opened his eyes.

His consciousness regained consciousness.

Maybe it was just a moment, maybe a long time has passed, but it seems to have no meaning.

The perception of time and space is confused here, even the perception of existence is the same.

The sense of reality of the body was gone. When Firion raised his hands, everything he saw was illusion - even though it looked exactly like the real thing, even the texture of the muscles was clearly visible.

Because he knew clearly that all of this was just a manifestation of his mental power, not his real body. It was just an illusion and could change at any time as long as he wanted.

"What the hell is this place? Could it be... that pendant? It seems that things of the ancients really can't be touched casually. If you touch anything with them, it will cause a lot of mess."

With a calm gaze, Firion looked around. Being in an unknown space and having lost the body that supported his spirit, he remained calm and tried hard to search for the last memory before he fell into a coma, trying to find some useful clues.

No, it is rather that it is at times like these that he is not panicked at all, but calmer than usual, and even has the leisure to make fun of himself.

With a light push of his feet, his virtual body floated away, carefully looking at the "border" of this world.

What is unexpected compared to the indescribable mystery is that this white world is not only not spacious, but can even be said to be a bit narrow. You can float from one end to the other in the blink of an eye, and then encounter a soft but insurmountable obstacle, and be gently bounced back to its original place.

After several attempts, Firion understood the general situation and stopped wasting time. He just observed and analyzed quietly.

I don't know how long it took, but a hearty female voice came from all directions, as if it was everywhere, and as if it came from the depths of Firio's own heart.

“Yahoo! Yahoo! Priscilla, the angel from the virtual and real worlds, is here!”

Along with the appearance of the voice, a figure slowly appeared in front of Firio.

The short jujube-red hair is refreshing and capable.

The big emerald eyes sparkled with a clear light.

With delicate facial features, fair skin, priest-style robes and small leather boots, she looks like a character in a game.

After observing for a while, Firio remembered that except for her more delicate and realistic facial features, the girl in front of him was exactly the same female character in the virtual world corresponding to the previous game console.

But unlike the heroic characters in the game, the person in front of him was more innocent and cute, with big, talkative eyes blinking, which made people not feel disgusted at all.

As if sensing Firion's gaze, the girl Priscilla who suddenly appeared smiled and waved her hand, saying loudly: "Hello, unknown outsider~! Why are you standing there in a daze without saying a word? Are you charmed by me? Or... are you stunned by my extraordinary temperament? Not introducing yourself is not a good habit~!"

"You are... a real person?!"

Firion opened his eyes wide, staring at the pair of big eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and was shocked by the agility hidden in them.

"Swish"

"Boom"

With a flash, Priscilla appeared in front of Filio. A small magic wand instantly appeared in her white hand and she knocked on Filio's forehead lightly.

“How rude! How can you ask if I’m a real person?” Priscilla pouted her pink lips, looking very dissatisfied, but there was no anger in her eyes. Instead, she was very interested. “Although I am indeed not a real human anymore, it’s a pity! But it doesn’t matter. I carry countless precious memories. I’m amazing! No, no! What’s really important is, hurry up, introduce yourself! I’ve been here alone for a very long time, and I almost forgot how to speak!”

"Priscilla... huh? What a magical existence." Rubbing his forehead, which was obviously incorporeal but still slightly painful, Firio silently chewed on the various messages hidden in the girl's words, and then laughed, "Hello, Miss Priscilla, nice to meet you, I am Firio, the traveler."

"Filio...Filio! I've got it in mind! I won't forget it this time!"

The staff in her hand disappeared out of thin air, and her white little hands clenched into fists and pressed against both sides of her forehead. Priscilla bent down slightly as if trying hard, looking extremely adorable.

After a moment, as if she had finished her "energy", Priscilla stood up and smiled as she extended her hand to Firion: "Now that we know each other, we are friends, Firion! You must be from the far, far future, right?"

The sunny smile conveyed a happy emotion and brightened Firio's mood.

Even though he knew that the girl in front of him was just a remnant of some program, memory or mental power, Firion still smiled back and extended his hand.

"Although I don't know exactly how long it has been, I can be sure that I come from the very far future. Nice to meet you, Priscilla."

The hands that spanned countless time and space were tightly clasped in a world full of mystery and fantasy, as if grasping something elusive and abstract, so illusory, yet so real.

Just like a road guided by the star tracks of destiny, it runs through all things and connects two hearts that should not have any connection.

Chapter 193 Disappeared in the Long River of Time and Space (7200)

A soft single sofa, a polished coffee table, and two cups of black soda with small bubbles coming out of it.

Apart from this, the surrounding decoration seems to be exactly the same as the outside world.

There is a photo frame on the small cabinet, and inside it is a girl with a bright smile.

"Gulp...Gulp...Hurry!"

After a round of drinking, Priscilla burped with satisfaction, then slumped down on the sofa in an ungraceful manner, let out a long sigh, and smiled happily.

"When I was a kid, my mom always told me not to drink it. Now that I'm older, she's worried that I'll get fat from drinking it. It's still better this way! Happy water, happy water, it's really good stuff~!"

"By the way, your world is really amazing. Can you simulate something like this? Is this also the technology of your time?"

Looking at the carefree Priscilla, Filio felt much more relaxed. He picked up the glass of water with ice in it, took a look at Priscilla's glass which he had just finished drinking, and then another full glass appeared out of nowhere. He took a sip.

It is about 80% similar to the happy water in my previous life, but with a bit more sweet and sour fruity aroma.

Shaking the cup and listening to the light sound of ice cubes hitting the wall of the cup, Firio asked with a smile.

"Technology? Hmm... sort of~" Priscilla stretched, picked up the refilled glass, took another big sip, leaned lazily like a cat, and said with a smirk, "Simulated world, or imaginary world, very realistic, right? Drink more, anyway, it consumes the mental energy of you as the opener, it would be a waste if you don't drink~!"

"what?!"

"Boom"

A man must say something shocking. As soon as these words were spoken, Firion, who had been relaxed just a moment ago, suddenly sat up straight and looked around in shock.

The glass was placed heavily on the table, and a little of the drink spilled out.

"So this world is actually my spiritual world? You are the one who came here to eat for free?!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't say that. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to get in. Don't be so stingy. Although your mental strength is not that strong, it is not weak either. It is very durable!"

Priscilla stuck out her tongue and deftly moved her five slender fingers like a blooming rose.

"Besides, I didn't come here for nothing. You can think of it as a knowledgeable teacher who is here to give you a lesson. You can ask anything you want~! As for whether I can answer you, I'm not sure!"

The tone is half frivolous and half serious, making it difficult to tell the truth from the false.

As she spoke, she stood up, strode to Filio's side, patted his shoulders and back repeatedly, and said in a very familiar way: "Don't be polite with me~ We are all friends!"

"You are just being generous to others and using my spiritual power to evolve the staff to hit me, right?" Filio pushed the mischievous little hand away unhappily, with a bit of disgust in his eyes, as if he was looking at Antoine and Apé after they had completed their gender transformation. "I can see that you are definitely not a decent person. Who would leave such a thing behind?"

“That hurts!” With a painful expression as if she had been shot in the heart, Priscilla fell flat on her face, landing on the void that could not even be called the ground. She exaggeratedly stretched out her hand in the air, struggling to hold onto something, “I have waited for who knows how long to meet someone I can entrust my knowledge and memories to!”

It was full of resentment, longing, and sobbing. If it weren't for the smile in his eyes that couldn't be suppressed no matter what, Philio would have believed it.

But at this moment, Philio had already seen through the person in front of him. He didn't even bother to look at her. He just picked up the glass of water on the table and started drinking.

It would be a waste not to drink this creature that uses its own superpowers as fuel!

“Hey… why are you like this?” Priscilla stood up with a wry smile and gave Filio a reproachful look. She sat back on her sofa obediently and pouted, “Don’t you want to know what happened?”

Firion, who was not convinced, spread his hands and said, "I'm not a historian. I'm just an ordinary traveler and a Pokémon breeder who likes to cook."

Priscilla frowned. "Pokémon? Breeder? What is this?"

"Pokémon are my friends. Have you seen the situation outside?" Firio raised his eyebrows, as if he had figured out something. "A breeder is someone who professionally takes care of them. Didn't you have such people in your time, or did you use a different name?"

“Ah, so it’s monsters and tamers!” Priscilla clapped her hands in understanding, her surprised look gone. “It seems that your era is really different. We rarely encounter monsters that have such a good relationship with humans… Oh, Pokémon! They are all very fierce. They may hurt us if we are not careful. If we don’t train them well, we may not be able to defeat them!”

"Huh? Can you...beat him?"

Looking suspiciously at the small arms and legs of the person in front of him, and comparing their strength with the cute but very strong Galar humanoid mother, Firion shook his head vigorously, throwing this stupid idea out of his mind.

"No matter what, you can't beat a Pokémon with these two moves, right?"

“Why can’t I win?” This time, Priscilla was the one who was confused. “Oh, that’s right. Your mental strength isn’t that strong. It’s really not easy! Hey… why… do I seem to have forgotten something important?”

In the middle of speaking, Priscilla's brows and eyes suddenly frowned in pain, and a pair of small hands pressed hard on the temples, rubbing them round and round, trying to relieve the pain that came from nowhere.

"Hey, Priscilla, are you okay?"

Firion stood up quickly, strode forward, and held Priscilla's head with his hand, his emerald eyes shining.

In a desperate situation, he unexpectedly mastered the method of using this spiritual body to display superpowers and [simulation] skills without any instruction.

“Huh—alive…”

After letting out a long breath, Priscilla's spirit body was actually sweating on its forehead, but it finally recovered and seemed to remember something.

His nimble hands suddenly grabbed and held Firion's hand tightly, full of interest.

"I thought you only knew spiritual power, but you also know life force? Although both powers are a little weak, they are very practical~!"

"A bit weak? I thought my strength was already quite strong. Could it be that... people from your time all had similar abilities?"

Filio, who was well aware of Priscilla's jumpy look, ignored her little movements and asked curiously.

"Not all of them have it, but it's not uncommon! Don't underestimate me, I've also cultivated very strong spiritual power, at least... well... I can't remember how strong it is, but at least it's much stronger than you~!"

Patting her chest vigorously, the girl's words were very firm and did not sound false at all.

"I see... No wonder, it's amazing."

Nodding thoughtfully, Firion sat back in his seat, digesting the surprising ancient information.

Powerful and more popular special abilities, the power to fight Pokémon, and advanced technology - no matter from which angle you look at it, it doesn't seem like "ancient times" but more like the "future" after great development.

But considering the cycle and regeneration of civilization in this world, it does make sense.

Maybe, the records from Grandpa Kokobul are correct?

Countless pieces of information flashed through my mind like lightning, pointing to a conclusion that was reasonable but somewhat beyond conventional cognition.

"Hey, hey, hey, Firio? Stop ignoring me!"

While thinking, Priscilla could no longer wait and put the cold glass directly on Filio's face, making him shiver all over and come back to his senses.

"How is it? Are you interested now? So, stop imagining and listen to me. This is the only chance you have."

Priscilla's face lit up with a charming look, and she slipped back away with a few light jumps, laughing at her plan having been successful.

"Gudu Gudu"

"Boom"

He drank the drink in the cup again and placed it heavily on the table.

"Thanks to you, I just remembered a lot of things."

The hearty smile revealed a certain seriousness, an unprecedented expression.

"I'm not here to joke... It's been so long that I almost forgot the meaning of my existence. Thanks to you, you reminded me of it."

The jade hand was raised lightly, and this time, what appeared in the palm of her hand was no longer the small staff, but a replica that was exactly the same as the pendant on the table, with a small smiling face facing Firio.

"bang"
