This elf world is a bit strange

Yan Kai, who had been hiding in the dark, stepped out from behind, leaned close to Karuna's ear, and said in a deep voice, "We have searched the surrounding area, but found nothing. There are only very weak supernatural power fluctuations, and the technicians in Kanto have gained nothing."

"I see. It looks like the same thing as before. It's still teleportation."

Caroline nodded slightly. She knew very well that an old hand like the man in black would not leave any valuable clues.

Although he was very unwilling, he still managed to escape after a long chase.

This time, even Xerneas, one of the mission targets, was abandoned by him.

This is not good news.

A vague sense of foreboding slowly rose in Caroline's heart and became uncontrollable.

Although she had never faced the man in black in person, she had some idea of ​​his strength from what A'du and Chi Hong had said.

After a moment's thought, she decisively took out her walkie-talkie and dialed a familiar number.

"My name is Karuna, reporting the situation now: the leader of the Evernight Organization has disappeared again, leaving only the Tree of Life in Xerneas. I suggest that we request support from the Pokémon League Headquarters again. If he really recovers, he is not something we can deal with alone."

Putting aside her pride as a champion, Karunori made the most practical decision.

Chapter 330: Millennium Heritage: Breaking the Legend

At dusk, Firio, who was returning from the headquarters of the Carlos Alliance with Joan's ride, arrived in Sala.

After seeing off Joan, who was exhausted from the journey and felt depressed, Filio kept on going all the way.

He didn't even go back to his home which was still empty because his parents were still in Sinnoh expedition, and headed straight for the Refining Tower.

As my fingertips just touched the door, I saw Cocobul in short clothes who was about to go out to buy groceries.

As soon as they met, Firion immediately admitted his mistake, and after hiding Arceus, he told everything that had happened in Sinnoh and explained the reason for the break in contact.

Unexpectedly, Cocobul didn't mean to complain about him at all. Instead, he smiled and changed out of the short clothes he wore for morning exercise and put the freshly brewed tea on the coffee table.

"Sit down and talk slowly. What are you rushing for?"

Sitting slowly on the sofa and patting the seat next to him, Cocobul was not surprised by their experience. Instead, he was quite interested and asked about the details of what happened.

Although the story of Baiyang Town is a bit thrilling, it is not too surprising to Kokobul, who often went out for adventures when he was young. Instead, it brought back many memories for him.

"At that time, if we encountered any unexpected incidents, it was normal to have no news for several months. It was good as long as everything was peaceful."

The old man smiled kindly, and his big hands, which had looked even more worn after not seeing him for several months, gently ruffled Firio's hair, speaking earnestly.

"With you here, I'm always assured of your safety. It's Korni who always causes trouble. Did she cause you any trouble this time?"

Firio quickly waved his hands to help his girlfriend out: "Korni has always been a great help to me, and this time is no exception. Many things are thanks to her. She is currently receiving some kind of inheritance of wave power in a place. She is very safe, but she can't come out for a while. It will take some time."

"The inheritance of the Waveguide?" Upon hearing the word Waveguide, Kocobule was a little more surprised, then turned to look at Firion kindly, and spoke after a while, "It seems that you really experienced a lot of amazing things in Sinnoh... Let Kotaku and Dragonite come out as well, I want to see them."

"Eh? Oh, okay, Grandpa Cocobul."

Firion was a little confused, but he still took out the Poké Ball obediently and released Sargus and a much larger Dragonite than before.

"Wow, this kid is really getting bigger and bigger, and it seems that his strength has also increased a lot."

Cocobul's smile became even wider, and the wrinkles on his face deepened a little. He happily stroked it gently with his weathered hands, and did not stop for a long time.

When he turned around, his smile disappeared and his eyes were filled with confidence and expectation.

"Originally I thought I should let Aix go first, but now it seems that the plan needs to be changed."

"Hmm? What's the first step?"

"Madge?"

Firion and the Incubus blinked at the same time, the same confusion written on their faces.

"Well, I didn't tell you before. I always thought it was too early at that time. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you all grew up and grew to where you are today."

Cocobul picked up the teacup, took a sip, walked towards the center of the tower, and pointed.

"Is this... still a statue?"

Following his fingertips, Firion saw the statue that he and Cornelia had often played with since childhood.

From childhood to adulthood, this huge Lucario statue has witnessed every bit of his and Korne's growth, but as for what its function is, apart from the inheritance of the mega stone a year ago, there seems to be no other case.

"Yes, it is this statue!" Kokobul said with pride, and even his old voice was more energetic than usual. "Firio, you should know that the Refining Tower's title of Refining is not empty talk."

Firion lowered his head and listened attentively.

His attitude satisfied Cocobul, and his desire to talk became more and more intense. He strode to the base of the statue and placed one of his hands on the foot of the Mega Lucario statue.

"The so-called refinement has two meanings. The first one is what you have seen, which is the elimination of the dross and the retention of the essence of the evolution stone. And this second one is the elimination of the dross and the retention of the essence of people and Pokémon."

Pure waves flowed out from the body of Lucario next to the old man and flowed all over the statue.

Lines symbolizing the energy transfer routes appeared all over the statue, flashing with light.

"The lineage of inheritors has been going on in Sala for thousands of years, but there are very few inheritors throughout history who can meet the standards of their ancestors. Even you and Aix were a little short of it. But now you are qualified." The old man's words were full of emotion and regret.

When he was young, he also aspired to become as strong as his ancestors, but was ultimately constrained by his talent.

But when he turned his head and looked at Firion, the regret in his eyes had completely transformed into relief and joy, and the tone of his conversation also changed, filled with expectations for the future.

Today, with Firio's superpowers undergoing another transformation, his spirit, energy and soul are completely integrated and he has met all the needs of this secret inheritance.

And Korni, who awakened Bird and began to make rapid progress again, brought precious hope as valuable as gold to the old man who was already in his twilight years.

Perhaps in the near future, Korni will be able to realize this thousand-year-old inheritance. If so, the old man’s lifelong wish will be largely fulfilled.

But that is ultimately a matter of the future, and the reality before him makes him more excited than the vague possibility.

Through those eyes that saw through the world, Cocobul saw unprecedented talent in Firio.

Compared with all the inheritors in history, even the ancestor who founded this tradition and only existed in the records, he has gone one step further.

Wiping the corners of his eyes that were slightly moist with excitement, Cocobul took out the real secret scroll that he never left behind.

"Shua-"

After thousands of years, the scroll carrying the secret of super evolution was spread out in front of the old man.

It was the same ancient text that I had seen before, but the same words had completely different flavors.

Each word seemed to have its own consciousness, dancing happily, as if it was about to fall off the scroll and come before him, excited and agile.

"Did you see the change in the scroll? Good, I knew you were okay."

Cocobul clapped her hands lightly, diverting Firio's gaze from the scroll, and the sound began to vibrate slightly, taking on a unique melody.

"The inheritance of mega evolution is not what you saw a year ago. It is just a weakened version that our ancestors modified over thousands of years to meet people's needs because the real inheritance is too difficult."

As the old man spoke, scenes from history emerged from the scroll.

The true inheritance is carried out by humans, Pokémon and Evolution Stones together. Unfortunately, the requirements for completing such a perfect inheritance are too high, almost beyond the limits of mortal body and mind.

Failures one after another, countless and continuous, pioneers who open up new paths through failure.

Countless illusory scenes appeared before my eyes, yet they seemed extremely real, as if they were within reach.

Lucario's waveguide has been released to the extreme. The entire refining tower seems to be shrouded in a thin mist, and everything in front of him has become hazy.

In order to overcome this difficulty, the ancestors of the inheritors, after thousands of attempts, designed a heritage plan that utilized a large amount of precious materials to improve the quality of the evolution stone.

The purpose is to reduce the consumption of the human body and Pokémon and lower the threshold.

But a semi-finished product is just a semi-finished product after all and cannot be presented in a formal setting.

The transformation of Mega Stones and Key Stones can only be the growth of external objects, and cannot bring real qualitative changes to the trainers and Pokémon as the core, which is the true meaning of inheritance.

And now, Philio has reached that extremely demanding standard.

After seeing it with his own eyes, Kokobul was completely convinced that he could accept this inheritance that had been buried for hundreds of years.

"...Grandpa Kokobul, this is really a surprise to me. However, I think Big Mouth and I will not miss this unexpected surprise."

Holding Kotaku and Tyranitar in each hand, Firion slowly stood up and walked to the front of the statue.

The superpowers were released without reservation, imitating Lucario and merging into the magical statue.

Although he didn't know what this magical stone sculpture that had been passed down for thousands of years was like, Filio was sure that Grandpa Kokobul, who had watched him grow up, would definitely not harm him.

With trust and love for his elders, Firion opened his heart and merged his spirit with the tall stone statue.

"Phew...old buddy, I'm sorry to bother you again this time."

Taking a deep breath, Cocobul took Lucario's hand, held his breath, strode to the statue, raised his arm high, and shouted:

"Lucario, mega evolve!"

"Luca!"

The dazzling light of bond lights up.

The surging waves of the river rush into the sea and merge into the statue with unprecedented grandeur.

In an instant, the already lifelike statue burst into dazzling light, and the dull rock shell instantly took on the color of life.

The powerful Pokémon that roared to the sky thousands of years ago seemed to have traveled through time and space and returned at this moment.

The bright light of evolution shone from the forehead of the statue, and the symbol of mega evolution glowed in the center of countless lines.

"this……!"

Firion's eyes widened and he lost his voice in surprise.

It was not until the moment when the evolution symbol lit up that he discovered that this statue, which originally looked exquisite but nothing special, actually had a different world.

Beneath the surface of the rock is a huge rough stone that contains mega energy throughout its body.

"Huh...remember...remember the story I told you when you and Kerni were little?" Cocobul asked breathlessly.

"You mean, what's in here is...?"

Firio's surprise was beyond words. Everything that happened before his eyes was completely beyond his common sense.

"You're right, those two."

Kokobul nodded proudly and revealed the thousand-year-old secret.

Thousands of years ago, the legendary ancestors found the two "first evolution stones" on this small island.

Their power is beyond imagination and far beyond the reach of all the evolution stones that came out later.

But with the passing of their ancestor and his partner Lucario, the two evolution stones also sank in the long river of time.

Everyone thought they were lost or just legends.

In fact, these two magical evolution stones did not disappear with the death of their ancestors, and have never left.

From the beginning to the end, they have been hidden in this huge rock, and with the accumulation of time, the entire rock has been imbued with magic.

"This is too magical, it's incredible."

"Ma...Machi..."

Firion and Nightmare were stunned, and Sargeras and Dragonite also subconsciously raised their heads and looked in awe at the predecessors who had made great progress on the road of evolution.

Although there is only a statue of Mega Lucario, in a trance, an illusory yet real figure seems to be standing behind it.

"No matter how magical the power is, it is only valuable when it is used." Cocobul said proudly, "Firio, you can bear this power. Now is your time! Lucario, go all out!"

“Luka!——”

The high-pitched roar pierced through heaven and earth, and the waveguide that had accumulated to the extreme was no longer reserved, lighting up the last line on the statue and completely activating this divine object that had been dormant for hundreds of years.

"Swish"

The stone sculpture's eyes suddenly "opened", bright and sharp.

The entire tower was completely illuminated by this glow.

A bright beam of light descended from the sky and split into three, including Firion, Kog'Maw and Dragonite.

...and the dream demon who didn't have time to leave.

"It shouldn't be like this... Why didn't the dream demon come out?" Kokobul murmured in confusion.

"Lu…Luka!"

Mega Lucario was panting. Possessing the power of wave guidance, it discovered the strangeness of the light column earlier than Cocobul.

In its eyes, the nightmare demon lying on Firio's head was not pushed away by the power of evolution. Instead, it was like a high-speed rotating vortex, swallowing up the energy bestowed by the statue.
