I just want to give the elves a home. What's wrong with that?

"Let's go in."

Li Ran walked straight through the hole of red light without any hesitation, and the beautiful environment around him disappeared at this moment.

Instead, there was endless darkness that enveloped Li Ran, with no end in sight.

"Xiaolong? System?"

After entering the cave, the little dragon under Li Ran disappeared at some point, and the system also disappeared. No matter how he shouted, there was only his voice.

He wandered around for a long time but couldn't find the hole he came in through.

"Calm down... I have a feeling that Gardevoir should be nearby."

He drove away the fear in his heart. This was the world created by Gardevoir. His mission was to find it and bring it back. There was nothing to be afraid of.

After calming down, Li Ran could feel that this place was very cold.

One could even say it's a bit sad.

For some reason, Li Ran had a feeling that this was Gardevoir's inner world. No, it should be the inner world created by it.

This time was different from the previous time. He encountered an egg not long after he walked.

It just lay quietly in this dark space for a long, long time, alone as if waiting for death to come.

Li Ran recognized this Pokémon egg. It was the Pokémon egg he got after participating in the Spark Cup, and it was also the Pokémon egg of Lalulas.

When he saw the egg, Li Ran's heart trembled suddenly. He slowly squatted down and held the egg in his arms.

"You must be very scared, right?"

He himself didn't know why he felt this way, but at this moment he wanted to be a ray of light in the darkness, even if it could only give it a brief moment of warmth...

After an unknown amount of time, Li Ran felt the elf egg in his arms move slightly.

The darkness around him gradually became noisier, and he heard a sentence.

"I want it! This old... no, this elf!"

The voice was very familiar, and Li Ran recognized it as his own voice.

The elf egg moved again, and the sounds that Li Ran had heard during these days kept appearing in the surrounding darkness. Gradually, they were no longer so dark, but became visible.

【I want to... go out and see him! 】

A voice sounded in Li Ran's heart, and the Poké Ball in his arms emitted light. Li Ran hurriedly put the Pokémon egg down slowly until a crack appeared on the eggshell.

The darkness around him completely dissipated, and various colors began to appear.

In those environments, elves appeared one after another. They were like a ray of sunshine that pulled Lalulas out of the darkness.

There was a man standing among the elves. He half squatted down and said.

"Please give me some advice, Lalulas."

Li Ran was just like a bystander, watching all this. Memories of the past came flooding back and his nose couldn't help but feel sore.

It turned out that his choice accidentally became a ray of light in Lalulas's heart, so it tried its best to protect himself.

He turned his head and looked behind him. The darkness was still there, but it had been compressed to the size of a fist and was floating in the air. If it had the slightest chance, it would devour the beauty in Lalulas's heart.

Then the environment changed again, and Lalu Las experienced its first change.

This time he saw himself being pierced by a three-headed evil dragon.

The temperature in Kirlia's world suddenly dropped a lot. It desperately chased after the falling Li Ran, but it couldn't catch him when it stretched out its hand.

It knelt weakly on the ground, crying loudly.

At this moment, Kirlia was like a helpless child. The darkness began to devour Lalts wantonly, making itself stronger. Finally, it turned into a three-headed evil dragon and appeared in front of Kirlia.

“How strange!”

Kirlia's eyes turned blood red, and when it looked at the three-headed dragon, it was filled with anger and murderous intent.

Li Ran clearly saw the three-headed dragon looking successful. As Kirlia took the initiative to contact the three-headed dragon, he heard a crackling sound.

The darkness turned into many fragments at this moment, and those images appeared in Kirlia's mind. No matter how he covered his head, the sounds in the images went into his ears.

Li Ran also saw those memory fragments, they were Gardevoir and Aledo.

They kept running, holding the elf eggs tightly in their arms, their faces full of fear, and behind them was the thick smoke raised by the war.

The shadow in the sky only had a pair of blood-red eyes, probably because Ralts was still an elf egg at that time.

Under the cover of Aledo, they kept fleeing until they came to a dead end. The two seemed to have a conversation, and finally Gardevoir's eyes revealed reluctance.

After Aledo placed a seal on the egg, Gardevoir slowly threw the Pokémon Egg under the cliff, using its remaining strength to safely bring it to the ground.

At this moment, Gardevoir and Aledo held hands, with a determined look in their eyes.

The scene ends here.

I don't know how long it took, but it gradually became able to hear sounds, but most of them were the roars of elves.

Until a group of adventurous trainers passed by and threw the Pokémon egg into a warehouse, during which time there were many human voices.

Because of the seal, the research institute was unable to extract the DNA from the egg.

So no one would adopt an unknown elf egg.

It just stayed quietly in the corner of the warehouse. Gradually, Lalulas fell into sleep and it was also shrouded in darkness.

Returning to the darkness again, Gardevoir hugged its legs with its arms, its red dress was like a red spider lily, and it leaned against something with lifeless eyes, as if it had returned to that time again.

Li Ran felt a slight pain in his heart, and he walked towards Gardevoir.

"Sha...Naidu."

Li Ran came to its empty eyes, squatted down with his eyes a little red, he squatted down and covered Gardevoir's hands.

"I'm sorry, Gardevoir, I'm late."

Gardevoir felt the temperature and raised its empty eyes. At this moment, Gardevoir was like a puppet that had lost its soul.

"So...Ra."

After seeing Li Ran's face, Gardevoir's empty eyes regained some color and tears flowed from the corners of its eyes.

"I'm here to take you back, Gardevoir."

Li Ran wiped away the tears from the corners of its eyes with his hands and looked at it with heartache. Gardevoir had endured too much.

"You won't have to bear this alone. You still have us."

Li Ran hugged it, and Xiaolong and Mibrim appeared behind him at some point and hugged Gardevoir together.

Gardevoir, feeling the real temperature, finally realized that this was not an illusion created by Darkness. At this moment, its body began to tremble.

"Sora..."
