This elf world is a bit strange

Firion held back his laughter and lowered his head, expressing the agreement in a proper manner, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But just when he thought he had accomplished his goal, teacher Milia, who had given him a great assist not long ago, came over slowly, stood beside Muriel with an unfriendly look, and said leisurely: "Teacher, you and Thornton should pay more attention to the training. Filio has fallen behind in his training in recent months, and he needs to catch up."

As she spoke, she took out a densely written form and stuffed it into Firio's hand.

"Here, this is the task list for the next month. Since you are not going to school, why don't you make good use of the students' winter vacation time, Firio 'classmate'?"

"Ah, this..." He didn't know whether to go forward or backward. He took a quick glance at the form, and a feeling of "this is not good" surged in his heart. Firio looked around with a bit of hesitation.

Principal Muriel looked calm and composed, as if she hadn't heard what her beloved student said.

Teacher Heitiezhu in the distance was like a coward, hiding in the corner of the battlefield next door.

Teacher Milia has proved a truth with her own actions - when you treat her as a teammate, she will stab you in the back as quickly as possible to prove your naivety.

Perhaps, this list of holiday tasks, which reads as instructions for using cheap labor, had already been written when he was still in the reserve.

The long-awaited vacation disappeared from the very beginning, and someone's future was fully scheduled.

Firion's mind raced, and his brain worked quickly like a supercomputer, looking for a way to escape and save himself.

But it's of no use.

"Oh... okay, but I can only study with teacher Milia in the morning, and in the afternoon I have to accompany Korni to train the gym apprentices, and also take orders for energy blocks. However, there is one thing I need to ask Master for help." Filio sighed and took the opportunity to make another "small request". "I would like to ask Master to help me contact Senior McKen and ask him to help invite the skill master from Fengxu Town to come to Sala. I left Fengxu Town in a hurry and didn't have time to do something very important."

"Fengxu Town...skill master...? Ah, it's that person."

Silently recalling the person mentioned by Filio, Muriel thought for a long time before she remembered the vague figure in her messy sleeping memory.

After looking at Firio and then at the eager little dream demon, the old man, who also had made great achievements in the fields of skills and tactics, thought for a moment and immediately understood what he meant. He patted his chest and agreed.

"You want to learn those skills, right? You're amazing... Don't worry, leave it to me. My words still carry some weight in front of that kid McKen!"

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

The peaceful (crossed out) fulfilling daily life continued in winter in Sala, seemingly no different from a year ago.

Every morning, after my morning run, I would go to teacher Milia's home, pick up the research equipment that I hadn't used for many days, and explore the mysteries of tree fruits and a series of nutritional materials.

The Dream Fairy and the Heart Scale Treasure, followed by the restless Wind Fairy and the Dragonite, would go to Muriel for training every day at this time.

Without their chirping, he really felt a little uncomfortable.

But it is also essential.

The road leading to the King of Heaven has already spread out before the Dream Demon's eyes.

Unlimited supply of resources, dedicated training, and in-depth guidance.

From Firio's side to Muriel's battlefield, it has been growing every minute and every second, breaking through the barriers on its growth path and embarking on a new path of rapid growth.

Fortunately, I have the always caring little cotton-padded jacket Sun Eevee, the little arrogant Big Mouth Baby, and the most reliable Emperor Nabob no matter what.

While Firio and Milia were doing their research, they were quietly doing some low-intensity physical exercises in the yard, occasionally looking into the house through the window with a comfortable smile on their faces.

......

......

Most of the day starting from the afternoon was naturally scheduled to go out for training with Korni, who always had a smile on her face.

You can either spar in the wild, guide apprentices at the gym, or go to the Refining Tower to listen to Cocobul's teachings.

When you have some free time and are interested, you can take a ride on the Dragonite and go for an impromptu tour around the city, and taste the bento that Corny has carefully prepared and finally improved in taste.

......

......

When the lights come on and the moon appears above the trees, he will calm down and take some time to study carefully the documents and research materials donated by the chairman. Not only that, there are also a lot of new materials brought back by his father from Miare.

Priscilla, who was at home at Miare University, picked up more and more memory fragments, presenting the features of the ancient times bit by bit.Kamal, who went home to prepare for the trip to Sinnoh, who was writing a mythological survey and read it as a honeymoon trip, although he did not bring Priscilla back, he backed up all of her results and handed them over to the Phileo.

The father and son are of one mind. Although Kamal is not very clear about what happened to the dream demon, he still hopes to provide his son with some help in this way.

......

......

In addition to his daily fixed roles, Filio also has to seize the time to complete the long-pending orders, meet with local partners he hasn't seen for a long time, have a fun gathering with both parties, and consolidate the personal relationships accumulated over many years of cooperation.

The only pity is that Apei, the unscrupulous businessman who stays in Guandu and "enjoys himself here and doesn't care about Carlos", has no intention of going home at all and has become an extra-staff patrolman in Guandu.

This went on for many days, until the middle of February, when the ocean began to ripple slightly.

Chapter 233 On the cusp of the storm

The calm days lasted until mid-February.

With the chubby Snorlax who seemed to be fatter than at the end of last year, Ina returned to the court with satisfaction after her victory.

The mysterious inheritance ceremony of Cocobul that lasted for more than a month on the top floor of the Refining Tower was finally completed. It became brighter than before, and the mega stone that was filled with a wave that made Big Mouth feel particularly familiar returned to Firion's hands.

An optimized version of the high-level elf food formula gradually matured under the joint efforts of Milia's creativity and Firio's analytical ability. It was slightly stronger than the one that allowed Milia to be approved as a high-level breeder.

From a long journey to a fulfilling yet comfortable daily life, the experience accumulated over the days has been released, the tense heartstrings have been relaxed, and the growth of abilities has also been steadily improved in the balance between relaxation and tension.

With an unlimited supply of resources and the hellish training personally promoted by Muriel, the half-year-old Heartscale has finally ended the relatively long childhood of the Quasi-God Pokémon. Its physique has become stronger, its abilities in all aspects have been rising steadily, and its energy accumulation has been booming. It has unknowingly jumped to level 38.

However, perhaps because the accumulation is too deep, or there is potential that has not been fully developed, up to this moment, it still has no tendency to evolve. Only the scales on its head are becoming more and more shiny, and its hard little head is held high all day long, full of complacency.

Not only the slightly younger Heartscale, but other companions also gained something, including the Wind Fairy and the Dragonite, who were visiting Firion's house for the first time and were a little uncomfortable at first.

Under Judith's kind care and thoughtful attention, both the aggressive but calm big guy and the petite and naughty little guy quickly sank into a comfortable daily life, living a life where they had everything they wanted without having to worry about anything else than before.

However, among them, the one who has made the greatest improvement is the Dream Demon who has been training so hard that he has never had a moment's rest and has been almost reborn. In his soft and petite body, there is an extremely rich fluctuation of psionic energy, like a bottomless abyss.

Even Muriel and Gengar felt exhausted after more than a month of training together. All their life's learning was like clear water, being easily absorbed by the extremely dry sponge in front of them. Even this experienced old partner could not help but sigh at the ruthlessness of time and the power of talent.

If everything goes according to plan, in a few days, Aix, who has come back from Chaoxiang Town, will have his last gym challenge with Firion.

It’s just that plans often can’t keep up with changes.

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

On this day, Nancy, who had completed the final promotion and award judging for the two films, was finally about to end her work in the Unova region and would be returning to Sala soon.

There are already many staff members at the beachfront villa who have started cleaning in advance.

Early in the morning, Firio and Korni cancelled their other schedules as planned and turned on the satellite TV in Korni's room in the Tower of Refinery.

Today they are going to watch a heavyweight fight live.

In the Galar region, the finals of the Palace Tournament, the showdown between supernovas, Caidou versus Marie.

The fighting girl, who appears cold on the outside but is warm-hearted on the inside, had already invited her rival. Naturally, Firion would not spoil her interest, so he sat in front of the TV early.

After not seeing her for many days, he was full of expectations for this girl who had once made him taste the bitter fruit of defeat, especially the two powerful Pokémon, Octopus Warrior and Monster.

The companions gathered together, filling the not-so-spacious boudoir. Except for Dragonite who hadn't figured out who the other party was and Heartscale who only had a vague impression of the person before hatching, the companions who had a particularly deep impression of Caidou were all watching intently.

Logically speaking, it should be a fight between two evenly matched dragons and tigers, at least that's how it should be promoted in the Galar media.

But the result is not entirely so.

Perhaps it was because she was gifted and had extraordinary talent, or perhaps it was because of her frequent contact and mutual promotion with Firio that she made further progress. Caidou's growth could also be described as rapid.

The aces who had never had a chance to appear in the previous battle all attacked in the final battle with Mary. Indistinctly, the powerful fighter who won the results comparable to the League's Four Heavenly Kings in the future championship has begun to show some signs.

With Caidou's precise and swift command, even Mary, who had also retained her strength in previous battles, gradually became overwhelmed.

Although the two people are equally popular, there is a gap in their abilities that is not huge, but it is visible to the naked eye.

After a tepid battle to a score of 5 to 3, Marie, in a last-ditch effort, sent out her trump card Pokémon, Trolloc, to defeat Octopus Warrior, who had no time to rotate. While she managed to pull back a point, she was also left with serious injuries.

And waiting for it is Caidou's ace Pokémon, Monster Power.

After a Dynamax showdown in the Galar region, the outcome was no longer in doubt.

The final score of 6 to 4 seemed a bit stalemate, but it also seemed smooth and calm.

......

......

"Maggie..."

Staring at the screen with a serious expression, a trace of fear flashed in the little dream demon's eyes.

The progress of the King of Super Strength Breakthrough is slightly faster than it. Although the size difference on that day has been reduced, it still exists.

"Buy."

"Enpe!"

The same sense of urgency also came from Sun Ibrahimovic and Emperor Nabo.

Zhan Wulang and Octopus Warrior, who were not far from the Heavenly King Pass, also brought them considerable pressure. In a head-on confrontation, even if they were confident in their own strength, it was hard to say who would win.

"Xiao Caidou is making great progress." Korni held her chin lightly, with a hint of envy in her words.

Even after awakening the power of wave guidance, her other companions have not yet achieved this great breakthrough in the level of life in the past few months.

Looking at Caidou, who is younger than her, the usually optimistic her couldn't help but feel a little comparative.

Seeing that Firion did not respond, she raised her head and saw the other person's profile. She was so focused that her sharp gaze seemed to penetrate the TV screen and reach the distant Galar to have a silent contest with Caidou.

......

......

In the center of the Palace Gate Arena, the defeated Mary left the field somewhat dismally amid the encouragement of her supporters, especially the noisy cheering team.

The victorious Caidou remained calm as she took the trophy from the approving champion Dandi and held it gently against her chest, welcoming the media's cameras as if she had just done something insignificant.

When facing interviews from reporters, even when she was giving her championship speech, her expression was still calm and a little cold, as if she was keeping people at a distance.

After the routine promotion of Galar Karate and the Tracing Arena, there seemed to be nothing more to say and a brief silence fell.

Faced with the conference hall that went from thunderous applause to complete silence, she, who was not good at speaking, seemed a little nervous and uneasy. She raised and put down the microphone several times. It was not until she saw the encouraging eyes of Emperor Dan that she made up her mind.

His tan skin flushed with excitement. Surrounded by his friends, the winner of the Galar tournament took a deep breath and issued a battle declaration to the media in various regions:

"Filio, I will wait for you to challenge me again in the next regional youth competition! But next time, I will still be the winner! Just like the time in Haruka City!"

The resounding victory declaration immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the Palace Gate Arena. The marketing-savvy Roz stood on the high podium, playing with a strand of hair that he had deliberately left hanging, revealing a playful smile.

The naturally drooping hair curled and stretched under the action of fingers, drawing a crooked arc. It didn't look very good, but it was very much favored by Roz himself.

Through this habitual action, he got new inspiration.

"Olivia, I have a new idea that will surely be more popular than the finals of the Palace Gate Conference."

"Your will, President."

The bustling Palace Gate Arena and the media that smelled the heat set off a carnival, and the Marokomon Group, which monopolized all major industries in Galar, also took action.

[Advance Battle Across Regions]

This is bound to be a hot topic, especially when the other party in the challenge is the favorite to win the Kalos region, which has countless grudges with Galar, and when the conference in this region has not only not yet decided the results, but has not even officially started.

Controversy is popularity, and popularity is the cornerstone of popularity, which is indispensable for every strong person's rise.

For a time, the Miare Conference and Firion, which had not yet officially opened, were pushed to the forefront of countless discussions. In a way that no one had ever imagined, but by accident, it would definitely be welcomed by both the Galar Alliance and the Kalos Alliance.

......

......

"…What a troublemaker. He usually doesn't like to talk, but once he does, he makes a big news for me. Isn't this putting me on the spot?"

In front of the TV, Filio looked at Caidou, whose face was flushed with excitement and a little rebelliousness, with a smile and tears in his eyes - she had been following the rules since she was a child, and it was a rare opportunity for her to break the shackles of the rules, so she must be very happy.

However, in many ways, this good friend of mine also has the potential to become a hot topic - if he doesn't make a name for himself, he will become the center of a hot topic without even realizing the reason.

Thinking of this, he smiled and was about to complain to Emperor Nabo and Little Dream Demon, but suddenly he felt a slight itch in the area where his eyebrows were. He raised his hand and scratched it, which relieved the feeling a little.

It was not until this moment that he suddenly realized that he had stood up without realizing it. Endless strength surged through his limbs and bones. He didn't even notice when Korni left the room.

Perhaps it was the youthful spirit, perhaps it was the simple desire to win, or perhaps it was some kind of feeling of mutual admiration brewing. Facing the invitation from a strong rival, he did not retreat or feel nervous at all. The desire to tease that had just arisen in his mind also quietly dissipated, and what was left was only anticipation.

He raised his slightly trembling right hand in front of him, and gently clasped his long five fingers together to form a fist.

From the tips of the fingers to the heart that was beating noticeably faster, every cell was quietly rising up with a new fighting spirit.

To be exact, the blood is boiling.
