This elf world is a bit strange

She gently lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed. Bits of superpower seeped out of Priscilla's body and fell on Kamal, relieving his physical and mental fatigue from staying up late to study in the past few days.

"You and I……"

Kamal now has countless questions in his head, but he doesn't know where to start, nor does he know how to bring it up to this girl who is only the size of a palm.

Whether it is the body in front of us that is so strange that it cannot be analyzed, or even observed and understood from a contemporary perspective.

It is still the pendant that looks indestructible at first glance, and has an energy circulation mode that far exceeds contemporary technology.

When the technological gap exceeds the limits of cognition, the only thing that can be perceived is beauty, which is a beauty that transcends the level of words and belongs to science.

Beyond that, everything is so far away and out of reach.

The completely different levels of technology and concepts left this erudite scholar, who had traveled around the world for more than 20 years and witnessed countless ancient civilizations and mythological carriers, speechless.

"Ahem... let me introduce you." As the two looked at each other in silence, Firio stepped forward, cleared his throat, and walked between the two. "Priscilla, this is Kamal, my father, and a very famous scholar of our time. He has made great achievements in mythology and historical research. I believe you will have a lot in common."

As he spoke, he turned around, facing away from Priscilla whose eyes were shining, and looked at Kamal, and said softly, "Priscilla is a friend from a very distant era, and she has many memories of ancient times. This pendant is also a creation of that period, and like her, it is a very remarkable existence. Mewtwo and I verified some time ago that even if it is "He", he cannot break the outer layer of alloy protection without using all his strength and mega evolving."

"So strong? It seems that I really saved an amazing ancient friend. If I have the chance in the future, I can show off to my old friends and colleagues. Although I am not as knowledgeable as them, I am extremely lucky thanks to my son."

With Firio's reminder, Kamal gradually regained his composure. He laughed at himself, stretched out his hand toward Priscilla, and bent his little finger, which could just be held by Priscilla's small hand.

"Filio's father... If we are friends, then does Filio have to call me aunt?"

Priscilla's eyes rolled, and she thought of something interesting. She looked at Firion jokingly, earning a round of eye rolls.

"I can call you grandma, since you are a typical old lady in ancient times."

"You are the old woman!"

Not only did she fail to take advantage, but she was attacked by a straight ball instead. This humiliation made Priscilla instantly furious. The cane that had quietly dissipated condensed again, and she jumped high and hit Philio on the forehead.

"Boom"

There was a slight sound, a faint blush, and then a bulge of moderate size.

As Filho covered his forehead and cried out in pain, Priscilla raised her chin proudly, held Kamal's little finger, and shook it up and down.

"Filio, there are still us!"

After watching the show for a while, Ina couldn't contain her love for the cute creatures. She ran to Philio's side, danced excitedly, and looked at Priscilla expectantly.

Her superpowers, which were as sharp as those of Firio, allowed her to clearly sense that neither the lively little girl in front of her nor the two boys standing obediently in the distance had any bad intentions, but were just curious about her.

Apart from the fact that everyone looks a little weak and has no power, this era seems to be pretty good.

Thinking of this, Priscilla tilted her head and gave Filio a look that said "hurry up and introduce yourself to me", with a smile on her face.

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

In Kamal's office, the aroma of coffee lingers, bringing a lazy warmth.

A student assistant named Qiao Lang stayed in the laboratory to clean up the mess, waiting for Dr. Kazan's return, and took on the mission of informing him that the "nutrient solution has run out". At this time, only Firio and four others and Priscilla who was flying around were left in the room.

"So this is a school. I was wondering why there are so many people who are about the same age as Firion. That's great. There are a lot of school contents in the original's memory. She really loves going to school!"

After eating and drinking her fill, Priscilla had lost interest in coffee and snacks. Seeing the sun after a long time, she danced happily by the window with a smile on her face.

However, her range of movement is still relatively limited, and she cannot move too far away from the pendant. Otherwise, due to the huge consumption of energy and the difficulty in replenishing it, there is a risk that her body will dissipate and her consciousness will return to the pendant. This distance, according to Firio's estimation, should be one hundred to two hundred meters.

Even if she was only moving a short distance, the energy consumption was still not to be underestimated. It had only been a few dozen minutes since she had recovered, and her body had become visibly lighter. However, whether it was Priscilla, or Firio and Kamal who had keenly noticed this, they all tacitly chose to keep silent at this happy time.

Ina, who had dreamed of having a doll-sized playmate since she was a child, had her eyes sparkling. After hearing Priscilla's sigh, she patted her chest without hesitation and agreed very readily: "Priscilla, as long as you are willing, I can take you around the campus all the time!"

“Well… no!” Priscilla held up her chin and thought for a moment before jokingly refusing, “I’m different from my original self. I like playing games, reading books, and of course, eating delicious food~!”

"It's commonly known as a fat otaku's hobby. You and Shashajin will definitely get along well, even though he is relatively uneducated." Firio accurately finished off the opponent with a light tap of his finger, poking Priscilla's forehead.

Not surprisingly, such disrespectful words and actions immediately provoked Priscilla's counterattack. She waved a slender staff vigorously. In her favorite AR game, she must have been a top melee mage - or priest.

"Boom"

With the joint support of the little dream fairy and the wind fairy, after a "hard battle", Priscilla finally seized the flaw and left a red dot mark on Firion's forehead that was symmetrical to the previous one.

"Huh...Huh...If I had known that you would only sabotage me, I wouldn't have saved you!"

Priscilla had just woken up and was only in a vague form between spirit and entity. After all the fun, she was already very tired. She was breathing heavily and rolling her eyes at Firion in disgust.

Filio raised his hand carelessly, pressed his thumb lightly on the top of Priscilla's head, and said with a smile: "We are obviously saving each other's lives, okay? Besides, I am obviously telling the truth. If you really have a body, you will definitely become a fat otaku with this appetite."

"That's why I don't have such troublesome things~ You still don't understand... um!" Priscilla slapped Firio's fingers away with a slap, raised her head proudly, and looked into Firio's eyes.

But before she could finish her words, a sudden feeling of exhaustion swept over her body like a tide.

Subconsciously covering her forehead, Priscilla's body slowly fell from mid-air, half lying in Firio's palm.

"Her deficit has not been fully made up. Even the stone you gave me is not enough. More high-quality energy sources are needed." Kamal, who had been watching the two people fighting, stood up suddenly, picked up the pendant on the table, and put it next to Priscilla, his tone serious.

With the energy source close to her, Priscilla's fatigue was slightly relieved and she let out a long sigh, but she still couldn't regain much energy and became drowsy.

"Energy source..." Looking at Priscilla whose eyes were gradually becoming blurred, Firio looked around thoughtfully.

"Maggie? Maggie!"

The little dream demon dove into Firio's backpack and ran out in a flash, holding two fresh pomelo fruits, and handed them to Priscilla without saying a word.

"This is useless to her. Tree berries and energy blocks are more effective against Pokémon." Firio stopped the dream demon with a smile and put down his backpack. He used his superpowers to transform into the power of Evergreen to nourish Priscilla while searching everywhere.

Attribute gems, strengthening items, energy blocks... There are many energy-rich resources in the backpack, but none of them are energy sources that can be easily absorbed by the pendant, nor are there truly rare treasures like Z energy crystals.

Antoine and Ina stood aside, unable to think of any solution, and could only worry.

"crash"

The last bit of supplies fell on the table. They were not useful. Firion frowned and raised his hand to touch the mark of Xerneas.

After much thought, he decided to use his favor with this powerful legendary Pokémon and use the power of the God of Life to help his friend.

But just before his fingertips touched the mark, a loud voice startled him:

"Kamal! You old pervert! Where is my huge jar of nutrient solution?! If I didn't have some in stock, I would have been screwed by you!"

The voice seemed to have shown some age, but was still full of energy. It was not heroic, but just had a hint of roughness under anger.

Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged man who looked mature and steady, but tall and strong, pushed the door open and walked in, carrying a large stone that looked very heavy, in a hurry. Behind him followed Qiao Lang, who was not short but looked petite in comparison.

The young assistant had an awkward smile on his face, and it was obvious that he had no idea what to do with his other instructor.

The identity of the visitor is obvious.

It was another doctor from the institute who went to retrieve the fossil, Kashan, an authority on Carlos fossil research.

"I'm telling you, if you don't explain why, I'll let the Otodontosaurus come to your house every day to eat for free! He'll be gone for a...year? What's going on?!"

The honest man with beard and hair rushed in to question the culprit, but before he could finish his words, he saw an unexpected scene and froze in place.

At this time, Qiao Lang hurriedly walked to his side and said helplessly: "Dr. Kashan, I have told you that there is indeed a reason, but you don't listen to me!"

"Ah... no, Kamal, what is this..." A slightly distorted smile hung on his awkward and stiff face. Looking at the pendant emitting energy fluctuations and Priscilla lying on the table, Dr. Kazan vaguely realized something.

But before he could ask, two big hands, one on the left and one on the right, had already been placed on his shoulders.

"Uncle Kashan, do you still have the same nutrient solution in stock as before?"

"Brother Kashan, you really helped us a lot this time. I'll treat you to a drink later!"

The same light flashed in Firio and Kamal's eyes, making Dr. Kazan suddenly think that he had arrived in the wilderness and saw werewolves all over the mountains.

"No... Little Firion... I..."

He wanted to say something else, but the two of them walked past him at the same time without looking back.

In an instant, all the things on the table were packed up and taken away by Antoine and Ina who were hiding in the back, leaving only a few cups of unfinished coffee.

Turning his head in astonishment, Kashan discovered in despair that his disciple Qiao Lang was walking excitedly in front of Firio and Kamal, saying things like "Come this way, I'll lead the way", which was a treasonous statement that was against his teacher and ancestors.

"click"

A thunderclap exploded in Dr. Kashan's heart, and the fossil in his hand suddenly became as heavy as a thousand pounds, and the whole world turned black and white.

"Don't!——"

The aggressive debt collector instantly turned into a weak lamb and hurriedly chased after the people who were getting farther and farther away, trying in vain to save his last batch of experimental materials.

In offices, laboratories, and small classrooms, heads popped out with curiosity and eagerness, accompanied by whispers.

Under their gazes that were half surprised and half indifferent, the usually meticulous Dr. Kashan once again chased after Dr. Kamal, who had somehow offended him, in a desperate manner.

The corridor of the Institute of Mythology became bustling for the umpteenth time, and it was not much different from usual.

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

In the corner of the fifth floor of the institute is Dr. Kashan’s independent laboratory.

The large glass jar filled with nutrient solution was bubbling with small bubbles, and the vigorous vitality was flowing into the smiley face pendant suspended in the center of the liquid.

However, compared with the previous large-scale event, the loss of nutrient solution this time seemed to be much smaller. After soaking for several minutes, the color of the nutrient solution did not fade significantly.

A steady supply of nutrients is injected into the glass jar through the pipes outside the jar, achieving a balance with the pendant's own non-stop energy absorption.

Priscilla's pale face gradually turned rosy, and her body became more solid. She looked even more energetic than before in Kamal's office, but her size did not change, still looking like a palm-sized figure.

Seeing that she was not seriously injured, Firio and Kamal finally let out a sigh of relief. Antoine and Ina also smiled again and patted Qiao Lang affectionately.

All are happy.

Except for Dr. Kazan, who was staring at Priscilla intently and secretly keeping to himself.

For the Institute of Mythology, which has never had a lot of money, it obviously took a lot of effort to compile such a unique experimental material.

......

......

"Okay, Kashan, cheer up. Isn't the purpose of saving money to spend it?" Kamal patted his old friend's back carelessly, in a good mood.

"Get out of the way!" Kashan dodged in disdain and rolled his eyes. "How can you, a guy who never takes care of the accounts at home, say this? If my tentacle lily cannot be resurrected, I will... Oh, forget it, first tell me, what exactly is this little thing, and why is it so edible?"

"She is……"

"You are the trifle! I am the invincible Lady Priscilla!"

Without waiting for Kamal to explain, Priscilla jumped up angrily, stopped in front of Kashan with her hands on her hips, and threatened him with bared teeth, but she didn't look scary at all. Instead, she looked strangely cute, which made Kashan couldn't help laughing.

Filio quickly stepped forward, grabbed the ferocious Priscilla, and explained, "Uncle Kashan, Priscilla is a friend I met by chance before. She is from an ancient time that we cannot determine."

Then, he pointed at the pendant that was still absorbing vitality from the nutrient solution in the glass jar and explained everything in detail.

From the ancient golden age to plate migration to the chance encounter in the cave, all the new inferences that were completely beyond the scope of contemporary research made Kashan unbelievable.

In a short while, the steward who was just worried about the research funds completely changed his camp, pulled Kamal together, and began to mutter about the follow-up research.

The memories and knowledge in Priscilla's mind are simply priceless treasures for the ancient mythology and archaeological research that is still struggling to explore.

The complete tentacle lily fossil, which he had regarded as a treasure not long ago, was casually placed on the laboratory table. Kashan's eyes were shining, and countless research ideas were brewing in his mind.

"Ahem! Wake up!" Kamal cleared his throat, slapped his friend on the back, and said seriously, "Priscilla is not your research material, and the focus now is not on research, but on how to help her recover. She is Firio's comrade-in-arms."

"Ah?... Oh, yes!" Kashan slowly pulled himself out of his academic ideals and scratched his temples awkwardly. Looking at the fossil Pokémon revival device that was burning Alliance coins every minute and every second, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "This is... really a big problem."

The pendant soaked in nutrient solution is like a bottomless pit. Even if enough energy to perfectly revive any fossil Pokémon is injected into it, no change can be seen.

Countless years of deficits and Priscilla's self-burning have accumulated to the point that the originally flawless energy source has been almost exhausted. Even with the replenishment of Zygarde's life energy, it can only be barely repaired, and it is still a long way from being fully replenished.

Priscilla, the party involved, was very calm. She waved her hand with a smile and said, "It doesn't matter. I can just get more sleep. I just need to sleep in the pendant, so there's no consumption. Anyway, since I didn't die, there's always a way~!"

After crossing the boundary between life and death, Priscilla's mind became much more open-minded, but there was still a hint of loneliness in her eyes that could not be completely hidden.

“It’s not that there is no other way.” Sensitively sensing Priscilla’s mood, Filho held her gently in his palm and said in a deep voice, “Priscilla, do you like staying here? Stay in this institute, with my father and others, live the kind of comfortable life you like, and study the history you like, or the future in your eyes.”

“Ah? I…” Priscilla was a little confused, her mouth slightly open, as if she wanted to say something but stopped.

Although she has inherited her original memory and is now a brand new life, she is inevitably influenced by her "previous life" and is full of expectations for campus life.

But for her, who only had Firio as a friend, separation was a rather terrible thing.

Seeing her concerns, Firion stepped forward and whispered, "It must be lonely in this long sleep, right?"

"Of course...of course."

"So, I will try to help you. Of course, my father and others will do the same."

The gentle words pierced Priscilla's defenses.

The tearful "little" girl raised her head and saw the warm gazes of several people. She nodded slightly subconsciously, floated into the air, and sat on top of their heads.

"Wait a minute, Firio..." Kashan quietly walked up to Firio and whispered in his ear, "It's not that uncle doesn't want to help, but the energy consumption... to be honest, it's basically impossible for the Institute of Mythology to afford it. Your father doesn't take care of the bill, but I know this matter."
