This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 111 Eternal Life and the Forest of Giant Stones

"Eh? Philio, what is that in your hand?"

On the morning of July 7, Hai Yun, who had been waiting for a long time in the restaurant of the Elf Center, asked curiously.

In front of him was Philio who was walking slowly with a bronzing notebook in his hand.

Big Mouth Baby and Bogaman both looked sleepy, dazed, swaying every step, obviously did not sleep well, and formed a stark contrast with the enthusiastic Dream Demon and Sun Ibrahimovic.

"Oh, good morning, Hai Yun, a friend gave it to me yesterday. I researched it, but I haven't finished it yet. I'm a little sleepy now."

Rubbing his hazy sleepy eyes, Filio put the notebook on the table, packed up the breakfast for his friends, and explained at the same time.

"Friend? Is this the one you said you wanted to see when you came back yesterday afternoon? It must be a good thing that makes you so interested in studying it all night long."

After taking a sip of milk, Haiyun nodded and smiled.

"Well, it's really a good thing, so Big Mouth Baby and Pogaman are also researching with me. I guess they will have to catch up in the poke ball in the morning. Ah, thank you, I just want to drink some hot milk. "

As he said this, taking another cup of hot milk from Haiyun, Filio smiled and thanked him.

Dawusang's steel-type Pokémon cultivation experience, although it is only a relatively superficial version, is indeed a priceless treasure.

Thinking in this way, he looked at the desktop. The thin book of twenty or thirty pages was enough for him to study and ponder for a long time.

"Okay, let's talk about the research later. Let's take a look at the photos we took yesterday? I developed them overnight, and I'm particularly satisfied with several of them!"

Hai Yun didn't pay much attention to this matter, excitedly took out the photos he took yesterday and handed them to Philio.

The individual photos of several Pokémon and the scenery of the two ruins, from the layout to the details, are very skillful.

Even if Filio himself doesn't know the profound skills of photography, he can still feel the cultural symbols conveyed behind the images.

Behind every picture, there is a silent story.

The life of Pokémon.

The decay of ruins.

Strong emotional tension emerges from the picture.

"This would be a nice set of pictures, can I keep one?"

After appreciating it carefully, Filio took out one of them, put it on the table, and asked.

"I knew it was this one, you can keep it, I washed two out."

Shrugging his shoulders, Hai Yun agreed with a smile. Although he and Filio had known each other not long ago, they had an unusual tacit understanding.

As early as when he was developing the photo, he realized that Philio would probably like this photo very much, so he directly developed an extra photo.

The Dream Demon flew over the ruins, Sun Ibrahimovic carried the Big Mouth Baby, and stood sideways on a collapsed stone pillar, and underneath stood the thoughtful Pogaman, stretching out his small wings, pulling Philio trouser legs.

The sun is shining, one side is bright and the other side is dark.

Birth and death are twins.

"By the way, before you leave, don't you say goodbye to your friend?"

In the south of Shixiang Town, at the entrance of Route 10, Hai Yun, who was riding on a flaming horse, asked.

"He ran away after the night market ended last night. I don't even know where he is now. He is probably looking for a place to mine or something else."

Fillio replied with a smile while adjusting his roller skates.

Expecting Dawu-san to complete any tasks seems to only mean that the alliance or other organizations are not very interested in this matter.

At least, he didn't see that Dawu Sang had any motivation to complete the task. Instead, because of the loss of a treasured immutable stone, he had a little more motivation to "find a place to mine and restock".

When we parted, those beautiful light blue eyes were shining brightly.

"Haha!" Filio, who stamped his feet lightly and felt that everything was fine, made an "OK" gesture, "Okay, let's go. I didn't expect that we could actually stop by for a while. But I'm quite envious of you. There are Chinese Valentine's Day bluebirds flying in the sky, flaming horses running on the ground, and Lapras swimming in the water. You don't have to move your legs to go anywhere, unlike a miserable person like me who can only travel on roller skates. Los Angeles."

"Hahahahahaha! These roller skates of yours are not simple. How can ordinary roller skating equipment withstand such use. But don't forget, I am a photographer, and the Pokémon companions I travel with are part of my life. . Let’s go, Flame Horse, let’s set off!”

"Gallo!"

Hearing Haiyun's call, the flame horse neighed happily, raised its forelimbs high, and ran into the distance with the burning flames.

"Hey! You two wait for me for a while! Have you considered the speed of normal people?!"

"Machi~!"

Behind him was Filio who was yelling and catching up, and the little dream monster who was laughing happily in mid-air.

"Your stamina is still a bit weak, Philio, how long have you been tired before?"

About forty or fifty kilometers away, Shi Shiran jumped off the back of the flaming horse. Looking at Filio who was out of breath, Haiyun laughed and joked, reaching out his hand to pat Filio. back.

"Don't do this to me, how dare you say such things while sitting on horseback?"

Filio opened the other person's hand angrily, his eyes filled with undisguised disgust and jealousy.

"Of course I'm sorry, are you envious? I envy you to tame a little fire horse and raise it from childhood~"

"Gallo~!"

Hai Yun put his arms around the flame horse's head, rubbed it affectionately, and laughed mercilessly at the same time.

"Wait until I turn around and make a Pokémon that lives in the sea, land and air, I'm so envious of you!"

After gritting his teeth and uttering harsh words, Philio hugged the little dream demon and walked forward without looking back. He couldn't see the face of the gloating guy behind him.

Straight ahead, there is a forest of boulders composed of scattered stone pillars that can't be seen at a glance.

[The virtuous king’s desire to end the war and reduce the harm to life eventually turned into the cruelest deprivation of life. 】

[In the boulder forest on Route 10, every stone pillar was once a living Pokémon. 】

[No one knows what state they are in at the moment. Only the faint surging energy fluctuations prove their existence and passing. 】

[The launch of the final weapon uses countless lives as fuel, but it brings only complete destruction. 】

[Everything that King Xian loves and hates is equally ushered in destruction. 】

The huge stone slab is carved with cruel and calm words.

The quiet stone forest is waiting for one after another travelers who come specially or drop by.

Tens of kilometers away, a huge figure was gently stroking a stone pillar in the shape of a bad frog, tears dripping down his cheeks and from his jaw.

-

"The birth and death of 3000 years is really heavy."

In front of him, the stone pillar of the Electric Flying Squirrel still maintained its cheerful expression at the last moment, but everything had been frozen for 3000 years.

Opening his palm and pressing it on the head of the electric flying squirrel statue, Haiyun's tone was no longer brisk.

"The king who ended the Hundred Years' War between Carlos and Galar was actually just an ordinary person with outstanding talents. It is said that he has survived to this day after being illuminated by the light of life."

Patting Haiyun on the back, Filio understood what he meant, but instead of answering directly, he raised a new topic.

"Having destroyed so many lives, he himself will live forever? This is too unfair." Hai Yun was a little indignant.

Philio shook his head: "Eternal life is not necessarily a good thing. Everything you cherish is disappearing in front of your eyes, and the cycle is repeated again and again. The only companion who lives forever hides in the sky and never sees each other. This is torture. .”

"But after all, you are still alive. As long as you are alive, there is always hope. Isn't this the meaning of life?" Haiyun stroked the stone pillar that seemed to convey a faint sense of warmth. He couldn't figure it out. "The Pokémon here are really Lives lost."

"Yeah, that's why that Hua Yedi abandoned her trainer to live alone for a long time, and that former virtuous king would exile himself and start a wandering that seemed endless at the time. Let's go, see more .”

His fingertips passed over the head of a Deruby statue, Filio didn't comment, but moved forward slowly.

-

Thousands of stone pillars and statues are scattered across dozens of kilometers, from the roadside to the mountains on both sides.

Countless wild Pokémon have coexisted with these "companions" who were also living beings for thousands of years. Under the nourishment of the weak energy they emit, they are stronger than Pokémon in other regions , Strong.

Ibrahimovic, Delubi, Electric Flying Squirrel, Kapok Ball

All kinds of Pokémon with great strength, high value, and great ornamental value, often kept as pets, live here scattered here.

They are peaceful in nature and rarely fight, because they have a good relationship with the people in Shixiang Town and Yaoxiang City, and they are not very alert to humans.

A few playful kapok balls and wind fairies were playing in the distance at the moment, and one of the playful wind fairies scattered some cotton along the wind and floated to Hai Yun and Philio's side.

"Mamachi!"

Little Meng Yao, who was looking left and right, sneezed loudly when he couldn't do anything.

"Eluヾ(≧▽≦*)o"

Seeing that the dream demon was defeated, the wind fairy and her friends laughed and left, disappearing in a flash, even the little dream demon did not react.

"Machi[○｀Д○]"

Knowing that she was being pranked, the little dream demon immediately swelled into a bun, and angrily searched around but did not find the murderer, so she ran back to the top of Philio's head and sulked alone.

However, it has a childish temper, and within a few minutes it forgot about it, called out the big mouth baby who was already full, and started playing around.

Soon, the two little guys were surrounded by several small wild Pokémon who also liked the excitement. They were talking, laughing, and chirping happily.

Taking a closer look, there is actually the Wind Fairy who played tricks on Little Meng Yao just now.

Sensing Filio's gaze, the little guy chuckled secretly, blinked at Filio, put his little hands together in front of his chest, pretended to be pitiful, and Filio couldn't help but laugh.

"Buy~!"

At some point, Sun Ibrahimovic got into Philio's arms again, let out a lazily cry, and looked forward.

The slender tail is gently wrapped around Philio's wrist, as if declaring sovereignty.

"It appears that time heals all wounds, even life itself."

Hai Yun, who followed up again, calmed down, looked at the peaceful scene, and said softly.

Ya Ya ran past his feet, happily joining the team of Little Dream Demon and the others.

"It will not be smoothed, but at least it will be diluted. In theory, every life will not be eternal, unless it is a god. But life as a concept is eternal, including these Pokémon turned into stone pillars."

As Filio said this, he picked up Sun Eevee and took a deep breath, causing the little guy to act coquettishly and the sound of "Buyi" could not be heard.

"Perhaps they are already part of the continent of Kalos? That's why the stone tablet outside says that no one knows their current situation."

"Yes, life itself is a very heavy topic, especially if you include history. Why not do what we can do now, take care of our own partners, and protect what we cherish."

Picking up his camera again, Hai Yun's originally dignified expression relaxed again.

What he really loves is the beauty of life and the freedom to seek.

The camera in his hand is the weapon he uses to defend this love.

-

In a blink of an eye, walking forward along the road full of stone pillars, it was already dusk, and the route seemed to have deviated a lot, and it seemed that it was about to go up the mountain.

As the sun sets in the west, the soft sunlight pours down, falling on the rocks, jungles, and stone pillars, and on the people and Pokémon walking among them. The contrast is particularly beautiful, adding a bit of poetry.

The playmates returned home one after another, and the little Dream Demon and Big Mouth Baby, who were tired from playing, also cleaned up under the water gun of Bogaman, and happily followed Philio, chatting non-stop.

The excited Haiyun picked up his camera, shuttled and ran among the stone forests, and pressed the shutter from time to time to record the scenes of his friends playing and playing, the beautiful natural scenery and the wild Pokémon living here. Leisure life.

While sweating, he seemed to really feel some kind of natural and life energy transmitted from the stone pillar.

"Kiwan!"

Tired from playing, Yaya trotted towards him.

While running, it suddenly exerted all its strength, and a weak air flow surrounded it.

"Swish"

In an instant, the little guy's eyes became sharp, and his momentum also increased.

"This is... have you learned to gather Qi?"

Haiyun knelt down, picked up Yaya who ran over like a treasure, and asked in disbelief.

"Kiwan!"

Yaya nodded and gestured, very proudly.

"It seems that Yaya is not too far away from evolution. The next step is to learn Dragon Wave. Eat some energy cubes. Yaya is indeed very powerful. You can make progress while playing."

Felio walked forward with a smile, handed over a few energy cubes, and rubbed Yaya's little head.

Feels good.

"Ah woo(￣～￣)"

There is delicious food, and Yaya doesn't object to Filio touching its head.

"Well, the next step should be the dragon."

"boom--"

Halfway through Hai Yun's words, there was a loud noise in the distance, interrupting the communication between the two.

The ground even began to tremble slightly.

In the distance, faintly, one or two screams of wild Pokémon could be heard.

"Oops, something happened! Let's go over and take a look!"

Putting down Yaya, Haiyun immediately grabbed the two Poké Balls in his hand.

"Go! Tanabata blue bird! Flame horse!"

One lifted into the air and the other rode a horse, and the two crossed the stone forest without hesitation, followed the direction of the sound, and rushed towards the source of the sudden sound.

The big man who was still stroking the stone statue in a secluded place also heard the voice.

He turned his head abruptly, looking deeply into the distance.

".The one who is imprisoned by despair and creates it can only lead to destruction."

Brushing past the top of the stone pillar for the last time, he took a big step and walked towards where his eyes were.

-

"Zi La"

"boom--"

Thick electric currents flew everywhere, and the sound of explosions completely broke the peace of the mountain forest.

The peaceful home of life was devastated in an instant.

Above a row of modified vehicles, industrial high-current transmitters are raging.

One grid after another imprisoned the escaped wild Pokémon.

A powerful symbolic bird was seriously injured and fell to the ground under the sneak attack of the current volley. It was dying, its body was scorched black, and it was still steaming.

"Hey, what a surprise. Not only are there so many high-value pets, but there is also such a powerful symbolic bird. It will definitely fetch a good price."

A middle-aged man with a scar on his face got out of the car and walked forward slowly under the protection of several subordinates.

"Xinbu.!"

The symbol bird that had lost the ability to move struggled to raise its head, looked at its companion who was still trying to treat it, and screamed loudly.

Under its strict order, several reluctant Pokémon had no choice but to evacuate and fled in all directions.

Looking at the approaching poachers, the symbolic bird did not hide the anger and questioning in its eyes, but only received ridicule.

"The eyes are not bad, but you, Carlos, are so poor and fastidious that you have such innocent eyes. Soon, you will become obedient, fold the coffin, shadow claw, solve it and put it in the car superior."

Scarface left in a swagger, and not far away, a dozen Pokémon hunters were dragging back net after net of wild Pokémon.

The Pokémon that were still playing freely here during the day have now become prisoners.

In the woods far away, the wounded Wind Fairy was gnashing her teeth in hatred.

Just now, several of its companions were captured by the power grid and are now being dragged away dying.

"Elu!"

In anger, it turned back again, with a roar, the cotton all over its body rose, and countless spores rushed forward.

"Xinbu!"

It symbolizes that the bird's eyes are looking at the past, and the anxiety is beyond words.

"Hehe, there's another one coming to your door! Centipede King, Cross Poison Blade, get rid of it! This wind goblin is not bad, and its strength is not bad, it's worth a shot! Take your time, I'm getting bored! "

Scarface had no reason to let go of this kind of prey that was brought to his door. A wind goblin who is not too old and not weak, after a lesson, he can be a pet and a guard at the same time. It won't be much cheaper just to symbolize the bird.

With a command, the ferocious-looking Centipede King rushed out instantly, its two purple-red sharp horns flashing with light.

-

"boom--"

"It's these damn poachers again, die! Monarch Snake, Magic Leaf!"

"Rumlow, wait for me! Builder, attack with sharp rocks!"

The brilliance of skills shone, and in the forest on one side, two youths bravely rushed out with their Pokémon. In a blink of an eye, the two poachers who were caught off guard were knocked out, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

"What?! There are still meddlers! King Centipede, hurry up and deal with that little thing! You guys, go and kill them! Hurry up!"

He was instructing the centipede king to tease the wind goblin's face, and his expression changed. He thought it was a large army from the alliance. Seeing only two youths dressed as travelers, he smiled angrily, and guarded them by his side with a cruel smile. subordinates were sent out.
