This elf world is a bit strange

The selfless act caused a burst of laughter and the sound of majestic dragon roars could be heard.

It turns out that eating is always the top priority in life.

......

......

People always miss their past, especially when they are full of ambition and success.

As they got closer to home, they returned to "their own territory" which recorded the precious moments of their early days. Not only did Big Mouth Baby always have a smile on his face, but Firio's mood and talkativeness also reached a very rare level.

With his photographic memory, he knew the mountains like the back of his hand without a map. He pointed to the places where he had traveled with friends and fought with Team Flare, and told stories that now seemed quite interesting.

It was the first time for the companions, including Emperor Nabo, who was not able to go with them, to hear such detailed information.

The greedy little Snorlax has used his cuteness to the fullest and is also very good at reading the air.

The Fire Monkey has the bearing of a master and is willing to give advice even when meeting him for the first time.

Casey who evolves while eating and his trainer who is chased and beaten by Shiny Mongoose every day.

There is also Miss Ina, who is a master of cooking, her two "Pokemon singers", and her personal bag carrier.

Of course, the center of everything must be today’s protagonist, Big Mouth Baby.

The little white bow flutters gently with the breeze and the waving of arms. In the words that flow like a gurgling stream, the past days are like the pages of an open book, distant yet clear.

The little, self-reliant and lonely Pokémon who only took ferocious actions when seeing everyone and crushed all powerful enemies with his iron jaws has become a silhouette in memory.

Today, in just less than a year, it has everything it never dared to hope for since it was sensible. It is not just the growth of strength, or rather, this is only the most insignificant part of it.

Although life is full of ups and downs, it is extremely peaceful.

A loyal partner with a different personality but a good heart.

And no matter where you go, you will never forget the embrace that once brought you so much warmth, and the fate that is closely intertwined with yourself.

Looking at Firio who was telling the story with a smile in his eyes, and stroking the bow that had almost become one with him, Big Mouth Baby felt warm in his heart.

It was much warmer than the bonfire in front of me and the iron pot emitting hot and fragrant heat.

The little girl sleeping deep in my heart was particularly active today. She tore through the solid shell and revealed her softness and beauty.

The Heart Scale Baby, who was struggling with the beef that was deliberately not cooked too soft, pricked up his little ears and listened carefully, his eyes drifting intentionally or unintentionally towards the Big Mouth Baby with his hands clasped in front of his chest.

The bond that began in the embryonic stage of life is like a faint thread that connects the two Pokémon.

Seeing that Big Mouth Baby was so excited and his eyes were full of indescribable tenderness, although Xinlinbao didn't understand why, he felt inexplicably happy for him.

......

......

"Back then, Eevee hadn't evolved yet, so his reaction was always a little slow. Kog'Maw was badly injured, and even Ogre wasn't as strong as it is now. I was really nervous and couldn't rest easy."

Wisps of green smoke rose into the sky along with the firelight. After eating and drinking, Firion leaned against the lazily dozing Tyrannosaurus after flying for most of the day, and vividly recounted his experiences and feelings after the "wilderness drift" that day.

"I was really happy to see that idiot Kornie at that time, although I was also worried." Thinking back to the day they met again, Kornie was covered in dust, looking half aggrieved and half ashamed, Firio's mouth curled up slightly, "In the wilderness, I was alone with you little guys running around, and the Flare Team was not far away. I would definitely be lying if I said I wasn't nervous, but when I heard she was coming, my mood immediately changed."

"That girl, even though she seems to be heartless and smiles at everyone she sees, and chatters all day long, she actually has a very gentle and delicate side. When she cares about others, she has no other thoughts at all. Although she may be a little simple-minded and is an out-and-out hot-blooded fool, she is very cute. I should say that she has been like this since she was a child..."

Gazing at the leaping bonfire, memories and emotions surged like a tide.

From a chaotic and ignorant childhood, to a green and naive teenager, and now, after traveling all over the mountains and rivers of Carlos, the increasingly rich experience has not only not diluted the emotions accumulated since childhood, but has added a bit of mature charm to it.

The girl, who was as shining and bright as the sunshine after a clear day, had lived deep in his heart for a long time and occupied an extremely solid core position.

"Machi~"

The little dream demon lay lazily on top of Firio's head, responded weakly, then jumped down lightly, rummaged in the backpack, found a few snacks, and ate them until the corners of his mouth were dripping with food.

That was the little Madeleine cake that both it and Corny loved, a real calorie bomb.

Every time he eats it, he thinks of Korni's painful fat-loss training after a big meal... A fighter's muscles and fat seem to be the product of another world. They come with effort and go away with effort.

"Elu!"

"Qido!"

One on the left and one on the right, the Wind Fairy and the Big Mouth Baby stretched out their little hands at the same time and placed them in front of it.

In the blink of an eye, the three little ones sat obediently in a row and used their "other stomach for snacks" to eat their after-meal dessert - or midnight snack.

Not only Korne, but Wind Fairy and Gargoyle also liked this taste, chewing it slowly in small bites, but not slow at all, which even made Sun Eevee a little tempted. However, after feeling the fullness inside its flat belly, it, with its small appetite and too lazy to move, lay back comfortably, and rolled into a purple ball on Firion's thigh, which was warm, soft and a little heavy.

"Enpe!"

In the midst of peace, the sharp-eyed Emperor Nabo discovered something unusual in the night sky. He looked there with his sword-like gaze and reminded Firion in a low voice.

In the dim night sky, a big bird was approaching from afar, with a blurry figure standing on its back. Judging from its direction, it was heading towards the picnic campfire.

"Oh? Let me see..." With the help of his superpowers, his distant gaze pierced through the barrier of space and swept towards the stranger who came quietly. The corners of Firion's mouth slightly raised, and his tone became leisurely again, "It's really an acquaintance... Tyrannosaurus, don't sleep anymore, there's fun to be had when you get up."

"Boman?" The ferocious dragon head was raised from the ground. Half asleep and half awake, the sleepy Tyrannosaurus opened his eyes, and his dark vertical pupils were full of sleepiness and confusion.

"I have a good idea. Come with me." Firion pushed himself hard, flipped over and jumped onto the back of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. He waved his hand and said, "Take off. Let's go say hello to our old friend!"

"Machi~"

"Buyi~!"

"Qido!"

Before he finished speaking, the three little ones who had also guessed who the visitor was responded quickly. They rushed towards the Tyrannosaurus at lightning speed, patting the big guy on the back and hitting him on the head to urge him on.

"Bowman? Bowman!——"

In a daze, although the Tyrannosaurus didn't understand why, it still roared subconsciously, slightly boosted its spirits, soared into the sky with a terrifying spin, and broke through the air.

A black silk scarf was quietly tied around Firio's face, fluttering in the wind, but it couldn't hide the mockery and mischief in someone's eyes.

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

"Pidgeot, fly slowly and carefully. Once you finish patrolling here, you can go home and have a good sleep. Take a rest tomorrow, and I'll take you to a nice place for a picnic."

He was wearing a neat ranger's combat uniform, with a hint of smile on his angular face, and standing on his shoulder was a Butterfree, who was also dozing with his head tilted.

Elite ranger Luo Kai was carrying out his routine patrols today as usual, checking the natural conditions in various parts of the reserve.

Everything was as peaceful as usual, even quieter, making people feel a little drowsy.

During the cold winter, even the normally noisy wild Pokémon will mostly calm down and hibernate in their nests, waiting for everything to sprout in the spring.

Suddenly, a fire in the distance caught his attention.

His tense spirit was instantly shaken, and the ranger's professional instinct made him think of many potential risks and hidden dangers. Although it was most likely just an ordinary traveler, other possibilities could not be ruled out.

With a light step on Pidgeot's sturdy back, the tacit partners understood everything without the need for verbal instructions. They flashed their long wings and slowly moved closer.

However, just as he was about to observe from afar, the dark night was pierced by a captivating roar.

"Boman!——"

The bloody wings, the ferocious face, and the "menacing" masked figure standing on his back. Under the sparse moonlight, the sudden uninvited guest made Luo Kai's heartbeat slow down by half a beat.

The galloping dragon quickly approached from afar, and the powerful momentum of the quasi-king Pokémon made him feel invincible.

"Pidot! Butterfly! Heracross! Stop it!"

At this critical moment, Luo Kai's face was as gloomy as water, and there was no sleepiness in his eyes. He pressed the emergency call button on his waist with one hand, and threw out the Poké Ball containing his ace Pokémon with the other hand, shouting orders as if facing a great enemy.

As the distance grew closer, a huge sense of tension entangled Luo Kai's heart like an invisible chain, making him unable to even muster the strength to swallow his saliva.

The cold wind howled, blowing on his cheeks which had become more sensitive due to his concentration, and attacking the calmness he tried hard to maintain.

"Gudu"

Swallowing hard, Lokai made up his mind to die if he didn't succeed and clenched his fists, determined to give it a try.

However, at the moment when the two sides intersected, a small black shadow with a big smiling face made him and Heracross, who was rushing forward, stunned in place.

Immediately afterwards...

"Bam—"

With a dull thud, a small black shadow like a cannonball passed through the barrier of the night sky and hit Luo Kai's six-pack abdominal muscles unobstructed.

"Machi~!"

"Eh?" His body fell backwards unconsciously, his feet slipped, and the scenery in front of him passed by quickly, "Dream demon?! Help!——"

It was not until then that he realized that he had missed a step and had fallen off Pidgeot's back. Right above him, the masked man had taken off his mask, revealing a face that had left a deep impression on him.

"Shh-"

A blue light flashed by, and at the end of his sight was the little Eevee whose evolution he had witnessed in Miare.

...that's outrageous.

Luo Kai felt that he had been frightened to the point of shortening his life, and this was the only thought left in his mind.

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

"Just say hello properly, you bastard! Just because you're strong, you want to scare your old friends, right?"

The scene changed, and Lokai, who had landed steadily on the ground, was still in shock. He punched Firio in the chest angrily, and his tone was complaining and seemed to have a sour meaning.

Looking at the companions with extraordinary temperaments gathered around Firio, and recalling the scene when spring and summer intersected, he, who thought he was superior in strength and qualifications among the rangers, had to admit that the differences between people were cruel.

"No way, isn't this just to give our outstanding young ranger a little surprise?" Filio shrugged with a wicked smile, not hiding his little thoughts, "I just didn't expect that Senior Luo Kai's psychological quality is not as good as I imagined."

Listening to Firio's teasing, Lokai glared at him unhappily: "Don't give me that. If I were to come out with a group like usual, I would at least pin you to the ground, handcuff you and teach you a lesson. You just took advantage of the time difference when I was on patrol alone to launch a sneak attack."

"Solo patrol?" This time, Firion was the one who looked a little confused. "From my impression, rangers patrol in small groups, right? I thought you were just taking Pidgeot out to play by yourself."

"We don't have enough manpower. They have all been transferred to help the surrounding areas deal with the Flash Team's roving fleet, so we have to deal with it for the time being. I was just rotated back from there a few days ago. That old guy seemed quite powerful, but it's a pity that I didn't see him. He ran too fast. There must be something wrong with that big ship." Luo Kai sighed softly, his expression a little regretful.

This is not surprising. He hates evil and always wants to take action personally to catch all the villains, whether in his work area or anywhere else.

However, now is not the time to talk about this. Seeing that Filio was still a little confused, he smiled, patted the man's shoulder affectionately, and said softly: "It's okay, it's not a big problem, it can be solved soon, you want to go home, right? Maybe you can do it yourself. Come with me to the camp to stay for a night? Everyone knows what happened to you some time ago, and I have always wanted to meet you and have a good chat."

"The campsite...? I definitely want to go too, but not yet." Firio was a little tempted by Lokai's suggestion, but shook his head slightly. "I need to go find that Infernape with a very special personality, and thank it in person with Ogre and Eevee. Should I go there after I'm done tomorrow?"

"Infernal Monkey? Aha, it's the one with a very calm temperament, right? Let me take you there. It has just woken up at this time. In fact, it has always been active at night and dormant during the day. So it feels uncomfortable to meet challengers or seekers like you during the day, as its sleep is often disturbed." With a hearty laugh, Lokai inadvertently revealed a little secret about Infernal Monkey, which finally made Firio understand why the Infernal Monkey was always listless when they first met.

No one will feel any better when they feel sleepy.

After a moment of thought, he nodded slightly, smiled, stretched out his hand, and pointed at the Dragonite that was already ready to go.

In a moment, the bonfire went out, the wind started again, and the dragon rose high into the sky.

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

"Efu!"

"click"

In the quiet valley, only the shouts of the strong apes and the sounds of breaking wooden structures echoed.

After a long-awaited good sleep because most Pokémon began to seek land for the winter, Infernape felt in particularly good condition tonight and was full of energy for training.

Although there is no sign of progress, sweating on such a quiet night has become an indispensable part of its life and has become an instinct.

For a Fighting-type quasi-king Pokémon whose lifespan is almost the same as that of humans, or even longer, its prime years are extremely long.

After years of practice and training, its strength has been honed to the extreme, reaching the limit of this body's current state.

Be it talent, injury, or personality, the growth of wild Pokémon requires both the right time and the right place, as well as the right people; none of these can be missing.

A peaceful state of mind allows it to remain calm in the face of limitations in its growth. It just silently hone itself like this and enjoy a peaceful and fulfilling life.

Day after day, year after year, even the changes a few months ago could not change its rhythm of life too much.

The peaceful forests and deep valleys are a natural shelter for it and many Pokémon that fear fighting.

Today should be an ordinary day like no other.

Logically speaking.

......

......

"bang"

A heavy punch hit the rock wall with a muffled sound.

The Fire Monkey clenched his fists and stood still, looking up at the dark night sky with a calm gaze.
