This elf world is a bit strange

Its keen breath perception allows it to clearly sense air currents in the distance.

A distant shout reached its ears.

"Our great thinker, long time no see! I brought an old friend with you!"

"Ai Fu..."

With a calm appearance, the Infernape, with a little sweat on his face, sighed softly and continued training.

"bang"

"Boom bang bang..."

Dragonite slowly landed in the quiet valley, while Infernape was sweating profusely, with wisps of white mist coming out of his body.

......

......

"Madge!"

"Buy!"

It had been a long time since they met the senior Pokémon who had taught and inspired them that day. Solemnite and Solevil stepped forward together and expressed their gratitude respectfully.

Although I am now much stronger than my opponent, the teachings I received that day cannot be judged based on the strength of my opponent.

They were young and immature at that time, and they were greatly inspired by the power and skills of the Infernape.

Seeing this, Dragonite also restrained its aura, retracted the pervasive dragon power into its body, and nodded slightly.

Looking at the powerful but humble Incubus and Solevil, Huobao thought for a moment, and vague memories emerged from the bottom of his heart.

"Ev."

After waving its hand calmly and bowing in return, it turned around and returned to the rock wall where its fists had punched shallow pits, to continue its practice today.

With its current state of mind, it doesn't care much about anything outside of itself, and doesn't remember clearly the things it has done to help others, let alone the Dream Demon and Eevee who it only met once.

"It has this personality. It's a fiery monkey but it acts like a hermit." Shrugging, Luo Kai said jokingly, "In the reserve, only the captain and I can talk to it, and it always ignores us."

"Yeah, I know. It was actually pretty much the same last time." Nodding, Firio walked forward and watched Infernape training with his punches.

The powerful punch hit the rock wall, filled with anger, but always lacking something.

"Marge."

The dream demon who saw the key flew over Firion's head and reminded him softly.

"Well, I understand. It helped us in the beginning, so we should give something back."

Patting the little head of the Dream Demon, Firion walked forward with a smile, and his superpower turned into a big hand, pressing gently on Infernape.

"Infernape, there is actually a more powerful evolution than your current form."

"Ev?"

Infernape turned his head and looked at Firion suspiciously.

"In the faraway Padiya region, people discovered that when the Infernape mastered the skill of the Fist of Fury and used its own anger to master it to a certain degree, it could evolve into a new form, the Abandoned Monkey."

Taking out a photo from his pocket, Firio generously handed it to Infernape, pointed at the Pokémon with flaming white hair, and told him the new news that had been released recently.

“Anger is not necessarily a bad thing. A calm state of mind can keep you calm in the face of praise or criticism, but sometimes it can also be a hindrance to you. Anger is not only a burden to you, but in a sense, it is also a gift from your life.”

After saying this, Firion bowed with Incubus and Solevil before turning around and leaving, leaving behind Infernape who seemed to be in deep thought.

The Tyrannosaurus soared into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Ai Fu..."

Holding the photo that was clear enough to sense the anger of the Pokémon in the picture, Infernape looked at Firion walking away with a slightly complicated look.

What seemed like a casual act in the past has brought me rewards today that are difficult to measure in value.

The calm lake of my heart is beginning to ripple.

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

"Gumbe~Gumbe...Hiccup~Gumbe~!"

In the small valley that blends in with nature at the Area A campsite in the nature reserve, Snorlax, rubbing his belly and burping, walked out of the cafeteria as if he knew the way.

After having a full and happy meal, the little Snorlax, who was feeling a little sleepy, patted his belly and prepared to hurry home for a good sleep.

It will lie down and rest after eating, which is a good habit it has developed since childhood.

It's another day of helping the rangers clean up leftovers for free. It's really hard work.

Thinking of this, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Snorlax's mouth, and he didn't notice Amy, the part-time chef who was so tired that she could hardly walk behind him, and the trainee ranger with junior breeder qualifications.

As we were walking, we heard the whistling sound of rushing air from the horizon.

The long hair stood up instantly, and the faint dragon power made the sleepy little fat boy immediately wake up.

But soon, its sharp eyes discovered something strange again.

The one standing on the dragon's back is a guy who can't cook and often steals his food, and the other one...

"!"

The spirit is lifted and dormant memories are awakened.

Cheerful young girl...

Delicious energy cubes...

It's a meal ticket!

With excellent eyesight and extremely quick reaction, the little Snorlax, who was the number one eater, recalled everything. His saliva began to be secreted, and his full belly seemed to be empty again.

As long as there is delicious food, it is not afraid of even a scary-looking dinosaur!

"Gombey!"

Amidst laughter and joy, Snorlax ran and jumped towards the landing Dragonite.

He walked briskly, even faster than the rangers who came to greet him.

Chapter 230: Miss Korni's "New Request"

On January 1, the new year has arrived, and the falling snow brings a touch of tranquil whiteness to the seaside town.

It was hard to refuse the hospitality of Luo Kai and Amy, so the planned New Year celebration was put on hold, but it did bring some special gains.

Under his witness, the intelligent Fire Monkey regained the true power of the Fist of Wrath in just a short time. The fighting monkey, which was like an old monk in meditation, turned into a ball of blazing fire again. The day of its evolution might not be far away.

Now, exactly half a year has passed since the day of departure. Wrapping himself tightly, Filio once again set out on the road of his hometown that was so familiar to him.

Although he covered himself tightly, the Sala people who had watched him grow up still recognized in a short time this "young man of their own" who had made quite a name for himself in the outside world, as well as the dream demon who was lying in the hat with only a small head showing.

The lively noise broke the previous tranquility and also brought some happy worries to the wanderers who were eager to return home.

Realizing that there was no point in disguising himself, he took off his sunglasses and hood, and after a lot of entanglement he was able to extricate himself. Amid the heated discussions and concerns, he ran up the path leading to his home.

When he sneakily opened the door, his parents, who had already been tipped off by the neighbors, were already sitting on the sofa, looking at him leisurely, half teasingly, half complaining.

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

"dong dong dong"

Outside the Refining Tower, Firio knocked on the door.

He had been home for less than ten minutes and hadn't even packed his luggage. After meeting his parents, Judith immediately kicked him out of the house and sent him here.

In a sense, it's like returning to another home.

[Why are you in such a hurry to pack? Why don’t you go meet Kornie right away?! ]

This was Judith's message before she left, expressing her regret for not being able to make the best use of her talents.

As she spoke, she took out the clothes that she had not had time to wash in the past few days from Filio's big bag, her eyes full of disdain for her son.

She obviously cares more about that stupid cucumber than her own son!

Although he secretly complained in his heart, his feet did not slow down at all. He ran and stumbled all the way, and soon, Firion arrived at the Refining Tower which he had not been away for many days.

Looking at the place of inheritance that had not changed at all, he felt relieved and couldn't help but recall the scene when they met.

Although we have been apart for a short time, I am still full of expectations.

"Da da da"

"Who is it? Why are you here so early in the morning?"

The faint sound of brisk footsteps came along with the energetic voice of a young girl. With a "creak", the heavy door slowly opened, revealing a refreshing home dress and a beauty and brightness that could not be concealed at all.

"Eh? Fei..."

Her delicate hand was still on the door handle, her cheerful smile mixed with unexpected doubts. Before Korni could finish her words, she was hugged tightly into a warm embrace mixed with a few snowflakes.

The girl, whose rhythm was disrupted by the sudden surprise, subconsciously raised her chin, and slightly closed her big eyes, which always revealed her emotions, sending out an invitation signal.

Firion vaguely sensed that there seemed to be guests in the tower, but he didn't care about much and put it behind his mind. He bent down and froze time in the blankness of his mind.

The wind at the seaside was always damp and chilly, but it did not affect the two people who were immersed in joy at all.

......

......

After a long while, Korni, who had recovered from her shock, raised her little hand to fan her red cheeks to cool them down. Then, she remembered something and punched Firion in the chest, demanding an explanation:

"You bad guy, don't you have to stay in the reserve for a few more days? If you don't come back before the New Year, I'm going to beat you up. At least beat you so hard that you can't get out of bed for a month!"

Filio's heart was moved by the beautiful little girl's posture. He quickly tightened his arms around her shoulders and gently scratched her round little earlobe, saying repeatedly:

"It's unfair. I was so eager to go home and see you as soon as possible. If it weren't for Amy and Luo Kai who refused to let me go in the reserve, I would have come home to see you at least ten days ago."

"You're such a smooth talker! Not a single word of yours is true. You, little dream demon, tell the truth!"

Korni gave Firio a coquettish look, her eyes full of disbelief. She looked suspiciously at the little dream demon who was eating melons and watching the show above Firio's head.

"Maggie? Maggie~!"

The little dream demon with the word "disloyal" printed on his forehead decisively betrayed Firion, and approached Korni in a flattering manner, smiling attentively.

While chattering, the little guy told the story of feeding the little Snorlax and helping to train Infernape in a vivid and exaggerated way.

Korni's smile remained gentle, but her soft shoulders and arms began to tense silently.

Behind him, Lucario, who had a sinister smile on his face and had long been planning to avenge his trainer, appeared quietly and blocked someone's entire escape route silently.

The gentle waveguide gradually becomes sharp and frightening.

Beads of sweat began to condense on Firio's forehead. He felt something was wrong and suddenly realized an irrefutable truth - never offend a girl who is a little narrow-minded, no matter how carefree she usually behaves.

Unfortunately, he realized it a little late - or rather, even if he realized it earlier, he would not be able to change his suicidal choice.

Sure enough, the next moment, the white little hand rushed out like lightning, raised high, accurately pinched his soft and warm earlobe, and twisted it hard.

"hiss--"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw two familiar faces, one old and one young, walking out of the tower. Firio, who was particularly concerned about his reputation in front of elders and guests, forced himself to suppress the cry of pain that was about to escape from his lips, his cheeks flushed and he took a deep breath.

"Ah wow wow..."

Suddenly remembering that she was not the only one at home, Korni's face turned red and her mind turned into a mess, with only meaningless "Aba Aba" left.

......

......

In the reception room, Cocobul, who had gone out to make tea, had not returned yet, leaving only three of them sitting separately in the room with a somewhat subtle atmosphere.

Korni sat on the sofa without saying a word, with her head buried, acting like an ostrich. Her hands, which had nowhere to put, were subconsciously tangled together. If she were outside, I'm afraid that mist would come out of her face and head.

From time to time, she raised her head slightly and glanced at Philio, who was sitting next to her and whose complexion had long since returned to normal. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Her tender white fists hit his thighs again and again with considerable force.

The little guy running around the sofa was very confused by the behavior, and his dark little head and big round eyes were full of curiosity.

For the marsupial baby, Little Pouch, which is already quite old but rarely leaves its mother's pouch, this is still too early.

"Little Daidai, come back and don't run around." Seeing Korney's embarrassment, the young man, who was once withdrawn but now more considerate, called out softly and called back Little Daidai, who had raised her little paws to poke Korney's trouser legs, and gently held her in his arms.

The black pupils that always look lazy but hide a sharp edge, the highly recognizable hairstyle, and the handsome face with an oriental aesthetic sense, the guest who came to visit was none other than Aix, the former member of the Savior Team, whom Firion had never met but with whom he had been "spiritually acquainted for many years".
