This elf world is a bit strange

When landing, a subtle sense of disharmony enveloped Firion's heart, making his uneasiness even stronger.

This time, not only him, but also Dragonite and Korni who subconsciously used the power of wave guidance also noticed something.

A thin mist seemed to have appeared dimly before our eyes, especially the circle around the town, which could gradually be detected by the naked eye.

But compared to this, what makes people more anxious is that they can't contact Naz.

"Let's go find the alliance branch here..."

"Ding dong...Ding dong..."

Just as Filio was about to rush to the local alliance branch to ask the staff directly, the phone that had been silent for a long time finally rang again, and Nancy's profile picture appeared on the screen.

With a sigh of relief, Firion quickly pressed the answer button. Just as he put the phone to his ear, he heard Nancy's puzzled voice:

"Filio, why did you send me so many messages today and call me more than 20 times in a row? What happened? I was rehearsing all day and just saw it after I finished."

"Phew... I'm glad you're okay! Don't ask anything yet, just listen to me. Tell me your address, the more detailed the better. Then stay where you are, I'll be there soon!"

Without taking the time to answer the other party's questions, Firio spoke a string of words like a machine gun, his voice more urgent than ever before.

"Ah? Okay, I'm right here at the Tower of Time and Space, in the northeast corner of the square. I'm not going anywhere... Eh? Firion? Is there something serious going on? Why are you so anxious?"

Although Nancy didn't understand, she still obediently gave an address. Before she finished her words, Filio hung up the phone, leaving her with a series of busy tones, which made her feel puzzled and puzzled.

Just as she was thinking hard, on the other side, Filio put down the phone without any delay, dragged Korni away, drove quickly along the main road of the city, and headed straight to the center of the town.

Finally, before the night fell completely, the two breathless people arrived at the small square outside the Tower of Time and Space, and saw Nazi, whom they had been thinking about for a long time and who could not hide her fatigue after rehearsal.

And... not far from her, there were a few extremely familiar figures standing.

"Oh my god... I'm done for now." Looking at the familiar "Little Red Riding Hood", Firio stopped and smiled bitterly as if he had been hit by a stick on the head. "Why doesn't this script follow common sense?"

The wild protagonist of the movie, the Pokémon Master who is always 10 years old (a work-in-progress), and his companions who traveled with him in the Sinnoh region, appeared in front of him with a debuff called "Theatre Crisis".

Firio knew that he could not avoid the script of "The Battle of the Tower of Time and Space", which was a bit like a childhood trauma.

"Where's the alpaca? Save it. Take away the big lizard and the purple dinosaur, or give me a hundred or eighty red chains..."

Someone who was unwilling to accept the reality, under the surprised gaze of his girlfriend, muttered nonsense that no one could understand.

But there was no time for him to collect himself, because the young man who brought the plot wherever he went had already walked up to him with great interest, and the straight-line distance was less than three meters.

"Hello, is this Mr. Firion? I'm Xiaozhi from Pallet Town. I heard Tetsuya mention you. He said you are a great trainer. Will you accept my challenge?"

"Pika pika!"

With his signature hearty smile, the super newcomer who had become a saint in the flesh (crossed out) and possessed extraordinary physical strength stretched out his hand, and the famous movie star on his shoulder also waved his hand, greeting him happily.

Next to him stood a confident, cheerful and sunny girl, and a little penguin that looked very proud.

......

......

"So Mr. Firion is the champion of the Miare Tournament? That's amazing! Xiaozhi must also work hard to become the champion of the tournament!"

After some greetings and Nancy's proud introduction, Hikaru heard about Firion for the first time. His eyes lit up, but he still couldn't stop talking about Satoshi.

Halfway through her speech, she suddenly thought of something, and looked at Firion with her big eyes blinking, expectantly saying, "I heard from Miss Nazi that you have a very powerful Emperor Nabo. Can you let it meet my Pogaman?"

"Boga! Boga~!"

"It just saw an Emperor Nabo not long ago and had a battle with him. Even though this kid hasn't evolved, he's still pretty powerful!"

Smiling, he squatted down and touched Pogaman's little head. Xiaoguang happily introduced his first partner. Pogaman was overjoyed and raised his head high, with his pointed little beak shining faintly under the light.

"Of course I can if there's a chance, but I probably can't today." Firio, who was in a state of confusion, politely forced out a smile, nodded to the people he met for the first time, pulled Nancy to his side, and apologized, "I'm really sorry, Nancy and I have an important matter to attend to today. I'll definitely talk to you all more next time we meet. Bye now!"

As he said that, he pulled Nancy with him and turned to leave, leaving Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang, who were about to say something more, with surprised looks on their faces.

"Mr. Firio seems... different from what Tetsuya said? It's like he's deliberately avoiding us."

"Pikapi..."

"You two are too young. Can't you see the relationship between them? We are reunited after a long time. Of course, I don't feel like wasting time with you."

Compared to the confused Xiaozhi, Xiaogang, who had been squinting his eyes and observing beside him, seemed to understand very well and showed a meaningful smile.

But it was obvious that his understanding was a little off in direction, and the two of them looked disgusted. Even Alice, who had been courteous to him since they met, took a half step back without leaving a trace.

"Cha-"

“Ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts…it’s numb!”

A purple light flashed, and the well-known Bad Frog withdrew his hand, dragged Xiaogang, who was unable to move, and walked towards the Pokémon Center first.

This scene had been repeated countless times in previous trips, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it except Alice.

Even including someone with squinted eyes who fell to the ground.

At this time, the protagonists were still immersed in the excitement and anticipation of attending the Poplar Conference and had no idea what was going to happen.

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

Nancy fled away from Xiaozhi and his group. Along the way, she had no idea what was going on. But seeing that Firio was serious, she suppressed her doubts and didn't ask anything. She just silently took him and Korne to the hotel room they had just booked.

When Filio sat on the sofa with a serious expression, she took a glass of water and put it over to him, and asked softly, "You don't look good today. What happened? Logically, you should be visiting the scientific expedition team at your parents' side."

"That was originally the case, but halfway through the drive, my superpowers enabled me to see a vision of the future." Firio drank the water in one gulp and placed the empty cup heavily on the coffee table, his brows becoming more gloomy. "I saw that a battle between Dialga and Palkia would break out here, and I was worried that you would be in danger, so I hurried over with Korne to take you out before the battle began, but..."

His fingertips lightly touched his forehead, but the mark of superpowers did not appear as usual. Instead, there was a dead silence, and it had lost its effect.

In other words, they were blocked by the space in another dimension and could not find their target.

Firion was clearly aware of the awkward feeling he had just felt when he landed.

This small town has completely fallen into another dimension, becoming a "time and space cage" that one can only enter but not exit.

In the race against time, he was still one step behind and fell behind the God of Space.

However, compared to Firio's frustration, Korni and Nancy seemed very calm.

Not only did Nancy's eyes have a faint, captivating gleam in them, she also held Filio's hand silently with an affection that was hard to express in words. Even Korni, who always liked to compete with her and get jealous, didn't say anything. She just crossed her legs and drank her drink with a relaxed look on her face.

The two men's eyes were fixed on Firio at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, and they were not at all scared by the bad news coming out of his mouth.

In other words, nothing seemed to be able to scare them, not even the guardian deity of Sinnoh, who was known for his unfathomable power over time and space.

Silence flows in the bright room, like the fog covering the outside of the small town, solidifying the time and crushing the time.

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

As the lights come on and the streets are quiet at night, the sneaky Team Rocket trio, dressed as reporters, are hiding in the darkness.

"Tomorrow, that idiot Baron Licking the Lick will organize his expeditionary force to look for that Da... Da what's that?"

Halfway through her words, Musashi slapped her forehead. She had forgotten the name of her target again.

"It's Darkrai! Why is your memory so bad lately?"

Kojiro glanced at her helplessly and sighed.

"Oh yeah, that's Darkrai! If we can catch it and present it to the boss, then..."

Musashi clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with eager anticipation.

"Promotion and salary increase meow!"

Meow Meow jumped high, stepped on the shoulders of the two men, and crossed his arms across his chest, looking very proud.

"Promotion! Pay raise! Commendation from Boss Sakaki!"

"Become the branch manager of the Sinnoh branch!"

"Step on that damn cat boss!"

Suppressed roars of excitement spread through the alley, and the trio's little ambitions began to swell once again, just like countless times before.

In the square, just separated from the alley by a wall, were Baron Albert and his expeditionary force, which had suffered repeated setbacks at the hands of Darkrai.

However, the morale of these optimistic small town citizens was not damaged by the repeated failures. Instead, they became more and more courageous. This made the trio see hope for "new opportunities to make meritorious deeds."

After a quick celebration with champagne, Meowth took out the secret communicator specially approved for carrying out activities in the Sinnoh region and pressed the button for encrypted communication.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

Amid a series of busy tones, the real bird that was supposed to appear on the screen within five seconds did not appear.

"That's weird, meow. Why isn't the girl with watermelon-shaped glasses answering the phone?"

Meow Meow scratched his head and looked the communicator up and down, but he couldn't figure out anything.

"Meow meow, did you not top up your account and are in arrears again?"

Musashi squatted down doubtfully and pinched Meowth in annoyance.

"How can you recharge this thing, meow?! Are you crazy, meow?!"

After a frantic scratching, Meow Meow broke free from the clutches and put his hands on his hips, furious.

"You dare to tickle me? Die, meow meow!"

Musashi, whose face was scratched again, was furious. He completely forgot about the important matters and rushed forward to fight to the death with Meow Meow.

"Hey, hey, hey? Stop fighting! We have something important to do!"

"Sou Nan Si!"

Kojiro, who was acting serious for once, was about to stop the fight when he was suddenly pounced on and knocked to the ground by Rango Wong who suddenly appeared.

For this trio with all kinds of weird thinking, it is always difficult for them to do anything seriously.

Especially when it comes to the whole "catching Pokémon" thing.

This has almost become a weapon that is close to the law of causality.

This time is no exception.

......

......

Somewhere in a small town, in a research room filled with books.

The messy room was even more unruly than the young researcher's disheveled hairstyle. The drifting dust filled the place with a pungent odor, but the young man sitting in front of the computer was unaware of it. He just half-leaned back in the armchair, his mind wandering.

There was still a notebook left by his great-grandfather Gaudi on the table, but the researcher named Donio had already forgotten about his ancestors. His mind was filled with the scene of being woken up from Alice's arms when they met during the day. It was so sweet and beautiful that he forgot about time and research.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he woke up from his memories and subconsciously wiped the crystal saliva from the corners of his mouth, the test records on the computer in front of him had reached an unprecedented and terrifying level.

"One, two, three, four, five... Oh my God..."

Without caring about anything else, he rushed forward, wishing he could bury his head into the computer screen, and counted the values ​​on the dashboard one by one. Even his voice trembled.

"No, we must report it immediately! The previous calculation was wrong. This is not just an ordinary space-time fluctuation!"

"boom--"

In the frantic groping and searching, the hourglass on the table quietly slipped and shattered on the thick wooden floor, leaking out countless fine sands, just like the passage of time.

......

......

In the Pokémon Courtyard, many wild Pokémon that are homeless or seeking a carefree life gather on the spacious lawn.

Alice, a girl holding a grass flute, was surrounded by them like the moon surrounded by stars.

Accompanied by the bright moonlight, she once again played the ancient song "Oracion" that had calmed the restless Pokémon such as Pokémon during the day, a song that symbolized peace and tranquility.

The melodious tune makes people feel peaceful, as if everything is no longer a problem. Pokémon lie neatly on the lawn, enjoying the peace.

In an inconspicuous corner of the courtyard, a dark figure was hidden in the shadow of the wall, revealing only a pair of eyes filled with memories of the past.

In the girl, it saw the girl who had allowed itself to stay here forever decades ago.

Time flies, old friends are gone, but it seems as if they have never gone far away, still staying in this courtyard, in this small town.

But in the recollection, a vague worry about the future can never be shaken off.

It has long been aware of the disturbances in time and space, but is powerless to do anything about it.

Even it cannot stop such power.

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

At the same time, on the plateau outside the town.
