This elf world is a bit strange

"You're right, little dream demon. We can definitely get back if we go back along the river. But there's one more important thing, which is to find the signal of a cell phone or locator. It would take too long to just walk back, so we still have to ask for help. Also, this wild Pokémon riot is very unusual, there must be someone behind it."

Touching the little head of the dream demon, Firion patiently explained to his most trusted partner.

He was still very impressed. These crazy wild Pokémon all had a lot of garbled characters on their bodies, which meant that there must be something man-made and beyond his ability to explain that was affecting the perception of super powers.

"Maggie! Maggie?!"

The little dream demon nodded vigorously, then pointed to the side in surprise.

There, Big Mouth Baby had woken up and was leaning against the side, trying to get up.

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

"Qi...Duo?"

My mind is filled with all kinds of messy information and fragments of memory.

Choking on water, heavy blows, recurrence of old injuries, countless pains made Big Mouth Baby drowsy.

All he could remember was the heavy blow from the Iron-masked Ninja that nearly cost him half his life, and the figure of the man swimming towards him determinedly in the cold, strength-depriving river water.

Squinting his blurry eyes, the first thing Big Mouth Baby did after waking up was to look at his left arm, looking for the neatly wrapped bow.

"Qido?!"

Amidst her screams of fear, she discovered that most of the bows had disappeared with the rushing water, leaving only the first one.

It was wrapped the tightest, and it even felt a little bit strangled, but it managed to escape unscathed.

"What's wrong, Big Mouth? Did you have a nightmare?"

The soft voice, along with the light and shadow of the outside world that he gradually regained his perception of, brought back Big Mouth Baby's consciousness.

When I looked up, I saw Firio, whose face was full of concern.

"Qi...Duo...Qiduo!"

Thinking of his attachment and "cowardice" at the last moment, Big Mouth Baby seemed shy and embarrassed, and at the same time a little angry. He simply propped himself up and slipped to the other side of the big rock.

After waiting for a while, it found that Firion did not chase it. It felt relieved but also a little disappointed.

“Qiduo…Qiduo?!——”

Turning its head bitterly, it wanted to see what Firion and Incubus were doing, and whether they were still looking after the Eevee who was also sleeping.

It also wants to know if it is just a foil and an extra.

As a result, as soon as it turned around, it met the eyes of Firion who was waiting behind it leisurely, and was so scared that it fell to the ground.

"Oh, sorry to scare you, Big Mouth Baby." Firio reached out his hand and gently tapped Big Mouth Baby's forehead, and apologized with a smile, "It's mainly because I thought your back was very cute, so I didn't go around."

"Qido!"

The big-mouthed kid bared his teeth and pretended to bite Firio, then turned his head away, obviously dissatisfied with Firio's words and the word "cute".

However, its slightly red face betrayed its true thoughts.

"Machi~"

The little dream demon took the initiative, picked up a small cookie, handed it over, and stuck close to the big-mouthed baby affectionately.

"Qido..."

Facing the little dream demon's advances, Big Mouth Baby seemed a little stiff, and his face turned even redder.

It still finds it difficult to accept such intimate behavior.

But now it doesn't conflict with it.

It closed its eyes silently and ate the biscuits. The light sweetness made it very happy.

"Big Mouth, I'm glad that you are willing to accept the bow I gave you, and that you stood up in such a dangerous time and fought against those powerful Pokémon to help us."

Squatting in front of the Big Mouth Baby, Firion stretched out his hand again, but this time his palm was facing up.

"Qido!"

The big-mouthed kid understood and stretched out his hand and placed it in Firio's palm.

The moment they touched, Firio realized that the invisible barrier that had stood between them in the past had quietly disappeared.

His superpowers can already detect everything about Big Mouth Baby.

It opens its heart completely to itself.

"So, I want to ask you a question that I didn't get to ask you before, is that okay?"

In joy and relief, Firio gently held the big-mouthed baby's hand, feeling the gradually rising temperature, and asked softly.

"Qi...Qiduo!"

Unable to accept Filio's frankness and seriousness, Big Mouth tried to pull his hand back tentatively, but found that Filio held it very tightly and could not pull it away. He could only nod and signal him to ask quickly.

"Although it may be a little abrupt, I really hope that you can become my partner, leave here with me, and live happily together forever. I wonder if you are willing?"

"Qido?! Qiduo!"

With a scream, Big Mouth burst out with the Pokémon's power that far exceeds that of humans. He suddenly pulled out his little hand, turned around, faced sideways at Firion, crossed his arms over his chest, and snorted coldly.

"Don't you want to..."

Firio's voice sounded a little lost.

"Qido!"

The big-mouthed kid raised his head proudly and turned away.

However, the huge mouth of the jaws gently bit Firion's hand.

"Machi! Machi~!"

Seeing this, the little dream demon cheered, flew forward, and kissed the big-mouthed baby on the cheek.

The red color that had just faded away rose again, and there was even a hint of steam coming out.

"Well... you're really a little tsundere, but this is also very cute... Ouch! It hurts! I surrender, big mouth baby!"

With a light sigh, Firio teased, but before he could finish his words, the big-mouthed kid exerted a little force and bit his hand.

Feeling the Big Mouth's attachment and insincerity, Firio cooperated and let out an exaggerated scream.

"Qido (*?▽?*)"

"Machiヾ(≧▽≦*)o"

The exaggerated acting made the two Pokémon laugh so hard that they couldn't help laughing, and the little dream demon laughed so hard that he fell over.

"Buyi?"

At this moment, from the other side of the stone, the confused voice of little Ibrahimovic came.

Then it stretched out a little paw, rubbed its sleepy eyes, and staggered around.

It turned out that the previous noise woke it up even though it was not seriously injured.

"Little Ibrahimovic came at the right time, so now we are complete."

Firio picked up Ibrahimovic and placed him on his shoulder with a serious expression.

The dream demon also returned to his head and looked at the big-mouthed kid below.

"Qido..."

Such a scene made Big Mouth Baby a little nervous.

"Big Mouth, this is a Poké Ball. If you are willing to become a family with us, then get in. From today on, we will continue to live together like this until the end of our lives."

Firion took out a Poké Ball, tapped the button to enlarge it, and placed it in front of the Big Mouth. He looked at it expectantly but did not urge it.

"Madge!"

"Buy!"

Naruto and Eevee had already recognized this partner a long time ago, half with encouragement and half with expectation.

"Qido!"

In a trance, Big Mouth Baby seemed to have returned to his childhood, when his parents were still alive.

At that time, there seemed to be the same warm gaze as today.

His eyes were slightly red.

This little guy who grew up alone and faced countless hardships and difficulties on his own also took off his hard outer shell, revealing the softness and fragility of his heart beneath the strong appearance.

"Swish"

With a gentle tug, the bow on her arm slowly fell off.

It walked forward, took Firio's hand, looked at the clumsy "work" still on its wrist, and tears as big as beans fell.

"Qido..."

Holding back its tears, it found Firio's other hand and tied it with great effort.

Tears blurred its vision and its excitement made its movements unsteady.

I have practiced countless times, but I still fail again and again.

"Let's do this together, shall we?"

Gently stroking the big-mouthed baby's smooth back, Firio suggested softly.

As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand, with the hand of the big-mouthed baby, and slowly smoothed out the gauze, folded it, and placed it under his wrist.

Then, it was folded upwards and tied. Amid the sobbing of the big-mouthed baby, a still not-so-pretty and still-looking-wet bow slowly took shape, forming a perfect match with the one on the left hand.

"Qiduo o(╥﹏╥)o"

After completing all this, Big Mouth rushed forward and hugged Firion.

"You are a very strong and good girl. You will feel much better if you cry. I will always be with you."

Patting the big-mouthed baby gently, Firion was also infected by its emotions.

In the fusion of minds, he seemed to see the life journey of Big Mouth Baby.

He lost his loved ones in an accident when he was young, and was driven out of his home by the powerful Pokémon that followed.

While other young Pokémon are crying for food, it can only compete with other wild Pokémon for resources in the wild, going hungry or full until its tears run dry, growing up in indifference and cruel training that is almost self-abuse.

During long periods of solitude, the thick mental defenses separate it from everything outside.

The tragic experience not long ago, which he still doesn't want to recall, has cast an impenetrable shadow over his soul.

Until Firion arrived.

A gentle voice, a face that always smiles, and hands that endure the pain to heal themselves.

And, the warm embrace that held me when I couldn’t walk.

Rays of sunshine shone into the darkness in Big Mouth Baby's heart, dispelling the lingering haze and ushering in the long-lost joy and dawn.

It clung to its hands tightly, as if grasping a life-saving straw, fearing that if it let go, it would return to the cold eternal night.

Feeling the violent ups and downs in Firio and Kotaku's hearts, Naruto and Eevee jumped down, stood on the left and right, and leaned tightly against Kotaku, using their bodies to bring it some peace of mind and warmth.

"It's all over, everything will be fine, believe me."

Again and again, Firio stroked the Big Mouth Baby's body, which was trembling slightly due to crying and fear, and calmed its mood with his voice and actions.

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

"Qido..."

After a long time, a large area of ​​Firio's clothes on his chest was wet. The big-mouthed baby, who had vented all the depression in his heart, stopped crying. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and stood in front of him, sobbing.

The Poké Ball had rolled quite a distance before it came to a stop on the riverbank.

"Da da da"

Before Firion took out another Poké Ball, Kotaku ran to the Poké Ball, picked it up and brought it back.

"Qido!"

Biting his lower lip, the little guy made up his mind, stretched out his little hand and touched the switch.

"Boom"
