This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 106 Growth and Breakdown: The Future of the Broken World (22) (6600)

"March?"

Looking at Filio who was setting up a tent, the little dream demon felt a little dumbfounded.

He was obviously so handsome just now, but now he turned over and wanted to sleep.

"Boom!"

Bogaman was quite convinced by Philio's decision, and he ran forward and backward with Sun Ibrahimovic to help with the attack.

In the distance, "Shadow Filio" was still trying to get Filio to start a fight, but Filio was unmoved.

"We have fought too many times, and our state has begun to decline, so we have to sleep first. There is still a lot of time, sharpen the knife and chop wood. After waking up, you guys will take turns and use them to hone yourself .”

Holding the little dream monster who still didn't understand, Filio zipped up the outside of the tent with a "swish", blocking the ubiquitous faint white light.

Hundreds of defeats have accumulated both physical and mental fatigue, and the time on the watch has only passed less than 10 minutes.

The slightly impatience of "Shadow Filio" outside just shows the correctness of his decision-making.

With confidence and determination, Philio quickly fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up again, everything would be very different.
-
"What kind of monsters are these?"

In the unknown parallel space, after countless defeats and deaths, more and more trainers have discovered that as long as they do not attack, the opponent will not take the initiative to attack.

Although it can be reset, the great terror between life and death makes most of them wait passively.

The passage of time is slow and irreversible, making people more and more anxious.

But every battle is accompanied by inevitable failure.

The "Shadow" who is stable and efficient and never makes mistakes on his own initiative makes them completely unable to deal with it.

In the end, only a few people insisted on adjusting their status and engaging in challenges again and again.

Without exception, they are the most hardworking and tenacious group of trainers who come to Jingxue for special training.

Although the endless battles did not yield any results, trying again and again was still bringing them a little closer to the correct answer.
-
"Haaah. Huh, I'm full of sleep. I feel like I slept more soundly than last night."

In the tent, Filio stretched out and slowly pulled out of the sleeping bag.

Next to them were four Pokémon who seemed to have woken up long ago.

"Huh? You're all awake. So this is the longest time I've slept? Oh my God, it's been so long?!"

Looking sleepily at his watch, Philio let out an exclamation and sat up suddenly.

In this sleep, I slept much longer than expected, and the pointer on the watch has passed more than half an hour.

Thinking about it carefully, this is also normal. Every reset of time and space will be at the cost of Philio's destruction in the previous fragmented time and space.

Although it is not a real death, the accumulation of instant pain has already become a huge mental burden and hidden fatigue.

It is much bigger than every Pokémon that participated in the battle in person.

However, after a sound sleep for an unknown period of time, most of the fatigue was resolved, and both Philio and the little dream monster had already recovered to their best condition.

"Then, it's our time. How can such a good training opportunity be missed? After passing this village, there will be no such shop."

Unzipping the tent, revealing a faint white light outside, Philio looked at the "shadows" who were still standing silently in front, and laughed.

"No one is a better sparring partner than them, right? The shadow space that can only be exited by winning has perfectly copied our opponents. It is really an interesting place."

"Machi~!"

Little Meng Yao took the lead and rushed out.

It is willing to be the first to try anything that can improve itself.

"Are you so confident, another me? You actually want to use me as a sharpening stone."

"Shadow Filio" looked at the three Pokémon returning to the Pokémon in the blue light, and had no choice but to take out his own Pokémon and take back its three partners, leaving only "Shadow Dream Demon".

Although it seems to have its own consciousness, it cannot violate the rules of this world.

But it doesn't seem to be angry, but rather interesting, as if it has changed into a different person.

The current it, and the one that has been provoking emotions to lure it into the war, which one is true and which one is false, at present it seems that it can only be an unsolved case.

"Aren't you the one who understands me best because you evolved from my spirit? This kind of question is a bit redundant. Why don't we start as soon as possible? I have thought about a lot of training subjects. If I don't hurry up, I might not be able to complete it."

Not commenting on "Shadow"'s words, Filio enthusiastically stretched out his hand and pointed forward.

"You are the most interesting person we have met in countless years. You are not afraid of death at all, and you still want to use the rules of the world to treat us as a testing ground? Then, as you wish."

"Dream Demon, continuous shadow balls!"

"Dream Demon, continuous shadow balls!"

A black shadow flashed past, and fierce fighting broke out again.

"March!"

"Slow down, cover with electromagnetic waves, keep distance, and try again! Sun Eevee, you come too!"

Facing an opponent who was stronger than him, after a long and fierce battle, Little Mengyao was unsurprisingly at a disadvantage.

But that's exactly what Phileo is about.

"Buy!"

The blue light of the strong mind flashed, and with a small time difference, the two opponents who were rushing forward at the same time were forced back.

A small purple question mark appears and disappears in mid-air.

The huge pressure from the opponent stimulated the dream demon's potential, and the energy in his body tried again and again, breaking through his own limits again and again.

"Buy!—"

Amidst the screams, the superpower turned into a sharp spear collided with the incoming shadow ball and mental strong will.

Sun Ibrahimovic's body flew upside down and fell beside Meng Yao.

"March!"

It was still a little short, Meng Yao clenched her silver teeth and tried her best.

"Leave it to you, big-mouth kid! Continuously crush the shadow balls!"

In the midst of the crisis, the figure of Big Mouth Baby appeared quietly, and went forward with one against three.

"boom boom"

In the successive explosions, gunpowder smoke filled the air.

The shrunken Poké Ball was pinched by Filio.

"whoosh"

Like a baseball thrown in the air, it shoots towards "Shadow Filio".

"It's a small skill, who do you look down on?!"

The attacking Bogaman was right in front of him, "Shadow Filio" sneered, and held the poke ball in his hand. Amidst the flashing white light, the two steel wings collided head-on.

"Bam—"

The black cylinder was aimed at Filio.

"ended!"

The pouring firepower turned Filio's vision into darkness.

Once, twice.

Ten times, twenty times.

After countless tempers, Filio once again called his friends to his side.

"March."

"Booy."

Although the two little guys could feel their progress, they were still a little downcast.

From the first time, they have been alternately covering, with the help of the pressure of actual combat, to hone the skills of [trick] that are more complex and specialized than meditation.

However, such skills are not something that can be accomplished in a day. Even if Nazhi's explanation helped lay the foundation for them, when it comes to actual practice, without the help of spiritual seeds, it is still smoke and mirrors.

"Qi Duo!"

Big Mouth Baby stood up straight with his chest folded, a faint blue light wrapped around the fangs of his big jaw, although he was still a little unstable, he already looked good.

[Spiritual Tooth] has successfully broken through!
"Boga! Boga Boga!"

Bogaman comforted and encouraged everyone after running.

In the previous battles, it had the least burden as it had all the skills. It only continued to engage in close combat with various Pokémon to exercise its melee capabilities.

Because of this, it has the most energy now, and it can help Filio do many things, and relieve the pressure on Filio who is physically and mentally exhausted.

"You are all doing very well, don't think about eating into a fat man, let's do it little by little. Come together, now I have found some areas that can be improved, and we will follow this method..."

Very satisfied with the results of the previous special training, Philio patted the heads of the little ones and said in relief.

"March?!"

After hearing Filio's analysis, the little dream demon exclaimed, then frowned, thinking about her past battles.

It seems that there is indeed a problem in this regard.

"Don't worry, let's do it again, let's find a way to solve it together."

"Dream Demon, attack from the lower left and hit its blind spot!"

"Little Eevee, be strong and push forward! Quickly retract and release, push back!"

"Big mouth baby, use your waist to exert strength, integrity! Don't be impatient! Fly it!"

"Bogaman, fight in close quarters. Pay attention to maintaining body balance. Don't attack blindly. Steel Wings must be both offensive and defensive! Pair it with your heavy pedal! Be patient and fight steadily!"

"Now keep your distance, Bogaman, use water cannon! Big Mouth Boy, cover with shadow ball!"

On the battlefield, Philio himself did not move, and neither did the "Shadow Philio" on the opposite side.

Taking this opportunity, Philio unleashed all his superpowers and gained insight into every detail on the field.

When a short board that is difficult to find on weekdays alone appears on the opposite side, everything becomes clear.

The little dream demon has a small flaw in the blind spot of his lower left vision.

Sun Eevee has shortcomings in the details of the use of super powers, and there are slight loopholes between retracting and releasing.

Big Mouth Baby pursues balance problems caused by extreme force when using iron heads and crushing.

As well as the steel wings that Bogamana mastered in advance due to hard training, he is good at attacking but not good at defending.

Under Filio's prompts, in one battle after another, either alone or in doubles, the four little guys became more and more familiar with the other selves on the opposite side, and became more aware of their own shortcomings.

Discover problems and then solve them.

Time passed by minute by minute.

During countless time and space resets, Filio's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

But his eyes looking forward became brighter and brighter.

As long as you walk on the right path, progress is bound to come, and victory will definitely follow.

For this reason, he didn't mind taking a little more care of himself.

"March!"

"Buy!"

I don’t know how many times this battle happened, but the blue light reflected each other on the bodies of Sun Eevee and Dream Demon, who were covering each other.

Purple question marks appeared in the air, and then exploded silently.

The imposing manner climbed steadily, and instantly overwhelmed the incoming opponent.

"Super Combined Attack!"

"Super Combined Attack!"

Two roars sounded at the same time at the moment when the situation changed.

However, the same roar carries different emotions.

Philio's voice was full of absolute trust in his partner, but for the first time, his opponent seemed a little uneasy and even a little frightened.

"boom--"

The all-out mental strength and shadow ball exploded in mid-air.

For the first time, the shadow ball from the Dream Demon shattered the resistance of the "Shadow Dream Demon" and blasted forward.

"Dream Demon, hold on! Sun Eevee, wall of light!"

The shout of "Shadow Filio" was cramped and urgent, and two light curtains lay in front of him one after the other, resisting the Dream Demon's attack in a matter of seconds.

However, in the smoke, the figures of the two Pokémon also disappeared.

A red and white Poké Ball spun and flew out.

"Now, Big Mouth Boy, Spiritual Fang!"

Amidst Philio's shouts, the figure of the big-mouthed boy came out boldly.

"Qi Duo!"

Accompanied by a roar, the pitch-black giant jaws opened wide.

"click"

The light wall shattered, and the body of "Shadow Sun Ibrahimovic" was suddenly caught in the mouth.

By suppressing the body's instincts, such as characteristics, at the cost of weakening its power, Dazuiwa regained control of the shield-breaking method of [Spiritual Fang].

"Big Mouth Baby, Piwa! Dream Monster, Electromagnetic Wave!"

The "Shadow Fillio" who lost his sense of proportion suddenly moved forward, and in a hurry, the two Pokémon attacked urgently.

"Sun Eevee, the lightning flashes and jumps up to block it! Then the mental shock! Dream Demon, full power of one hundred thousand volts!"

The tired brain was running at an unprecedented high speed, and the already powerful superpower was pushed to the extreme.

Everything is under control, and in the midst of his thoughts, Philio's instructions are one step faster than his opponent's.

"Buy!"

The delicate lavender body hidden in the gunpowder suddenly jumped up, blocking the electromagnetic waves.

On the surface of the body, an invisible force field rose up and bounced it back.

Followed by a powerful "wall" of superpowers.

A further [Spiritual Shock] rushed out.

"Bam—"

Amidst the dull sound, the "Shadow Dream Demon" was caught off guard and flew out backwards.

In mid-air, the turbulent current was like a tumbling golden dragon, completely engulfing the "Shadow Dream Demon".

"bang"

The petite body fell to the ground and there was no movement.

"Chiduo!——"

The "Shadow Big Mouth Baby" waved its jaws and moved forward bravely, but it was too late.

"Buy!"

"Shadow Sun Eevee" was also struggling under the bite of Big Mouth Baby. The light of his super power flashed continuously, and the wrestling was deadlocked from the beginning.

At the critical moment, another elf ball flew out of Filio's hand.

"The final blow, split the tiles!"

"Boom!"

Bogaman and Filio rushed to the battlefield one after the other.

"boom--"

Amidst the sound of metal clashing, two powerful and heavy split tiles of equal height fell from mid-air entangled.

"Big mouth baby, throw it out!"

During the rush, Filio let out a roar.

"Qi Duo!"

Big Mouth Baby understood immediately, turned around halfway, and threw the still struggling Taiyang Ibrahimovic directly.

"bang"

The precise "cannonball" landed on Pogaman who was about to attack Philio.

The two Pokémon rolled into a ball.

"Sun Eevee! Dream Monster!"

With one flying move, Philio threw his phantom to the ground and fought in close quarters without giving him any chance to use the props.

"March!"

"Buy!"

Without waiting for the two fallen Pokémon to react, the combined super attacks of Dream Demon and Sun Eevee blasted out again.

"boom--"

Hastily rising to hold the light curtain, he is as fragile as paper in front of the blow of the fusion of mental strong thoughts and shadow balls.

In the explosion, "Shadow Bogaman" and "Shadow Sun Eevee" also followed the footsteps of "Shadow Dream Demon".

"drink!"

The grappling technique learned from Korni pinched the wrist of "Shadow Philio" and knocked the cylinder out of his hand.

Filio, who had taken the lead, took advantage of the situation and twisted and pulled hard, pushing his opponent to the ground.

The thin blade rested on the neck of "Shadow Filio".

"Bam—"

In the distance, under the joint efforts of Big Mouth Baby and Bogaman, the final opponent "Shadow Big Mouth Baby" was also defeated and lay powerlessly on the ground.

"Now it seems that we won, right?"

Disarming and threatening the opponent, Sun Eevee's superpowers instantly completed control of the captives.

Philio clapped his hands and stood up.

The overall situation has been decided, the outcome has been divided.

After being defeated, "Shadow Philio" not only did not feel depressed, but instead looked curiously at the several Pokémon that were eyeing him eagerly.

Unfortunately, he couldn't turn back.

He couldn't even blink without the permission of Filio and Sun Ibrahimovic.

With some emotion, he slowly spoke: "It's really surprising that you can actually make progress in such a battle."

"This is nothing. Instead, I am a little curious, what is the meaning of the existence of a world like yours?"

Having already achieved the final victory, Philio was in no rush to knock down his opponent.

Because just as the other party is curious about himself, he also has many doubts waiting to be answered.

This strange world is full of places that trouble him, or in other words, full of places that make him feel weird and disharmonious.

"Meaning? This thing is not important, it's just that we are a little bored in the infinite time."

"Shadow Filio" laughed dumbfoundedly, shook his head slightly, narrowed his eyes, concealing a hidden ray of sharpness.

"Boring? I don't think so." Philio didn't agree with this answer, and his eyes were fixed on his opponent. He had already discovered something, "Your world can be more than this, right? Or, Not you, but your world."

"Oh? You actually saw it."

"Shadow Filio" raised his eyebrows, and even his small movements were exactly the same as Filio's usual.

"After all, it's a bit obvious. You've been calling yourself 'we', and it's not easy not to notice. You are a branch of a big consciousness, or in other words, a conscious 'program'. I'm not wrong, am I right? ?You have copied all my external appearances, but in fact you are still yourself, or in other words, it is such a 'program'."

The brief conversation confirmed Philio's conjecture.

He saw through the essence of the "shadow" or "illusion" in front of him at a glance.

"click"

With a solemn look, Sun Eevee's superpower was instantly freed from the restraints of "Shadow Philio".

"I don't like you a little bit, do I have to tell you? It's embarrassing for me. It seems that I have to change the address next time. By the way, I'm not a 'program', but I'm not human either .”

"Shadow Philio" shook his head helplessly, and with a wave of his hand, the world emitting faint white light immediately became rich and colorful.

The grass, the sunshine, the breeze, everything is moving closer to the real world, except that there is still no life.

"The 'mirror country' you speak of is the mirror of the real world, but we are not here, at least not yet. We are just fragments and things in the cracks, and only your memory and spirit can enrich this world for us, like this .”

"clatter"

With the snap of "Shadow Filio", a bouncing Sun Eevee appeared at the end of his sight.

Immediately afterwards, there were Dream Demon, Big Mouth Baby, and Bogaman.

The rumbling Pronglum, the hairy troll roaring to the sky
One after another Pokémon appeared in the distance.

"So, really all you need is the information we show in combat and other actions, right? Until you think it's enough. Looks like it's not the first time, and it won't be the last time. From that perspective , trapping us and making things bigger is actually not in your interests anymore, right?"

Seeing through everything, Philio sat down on the ground calmly, calling for his friends after the victory to form a circle around him.

At this time, he no longer needs to be wary of attacks from his opponents.

"That's right, although 'if you don't go out before dark, you will stay forever', but I didn't say that we won't let you out before dark. This is just your own thoughts and understanding."

"Shadow Filio" shrugged and said nonchalantly, with a playful smile in the corner of his eyes.

But immediately after, his body gradually became blurred and transparent, and his words also carried a bit of emotion.

"This is the first time I have encountered someone like you who can really defeat us. I am obviously stronger than you, both in terms of energy and strength. But I didn't expect that you can actually do it without any Making real progress without external help is really enviable, if only we could do the same."

"It will happen one day, right? When your world is rich enough and breaks through a certain limit, it will become complete and become a real 'Mirror Kingdom', and then have some possibility of growth, instead of just copy."

Looking at the gradually dissipating "Shadow Filio", Filio waved his hand as farewell.

"Seeing as you helped my friends correct a lot of minor problems and practice a few skills, I don't blame you for killing me so many times. After all, I should have opened the door to your world accidentally. Yes, let’s assume we’re even? I wish you good luck in the future.”

"You are a bit fake and generous, which makes me very unhappy. However, next time it will be our turn to bully others with such words, I feel a little happy just thinking about it."

The voice became ethereal, and the body gradually disappeared without a trace, until it finally became completely silent.

"click"

"click"

"crack la la"

The perfect world appeared gaps in front of Filio's eyes, like cracks in glass.

"Click"

But when the cracks spread throughout the field of vision, everything in front of him shattered instantly, and everything became pitch black.

But in just a moment, the scene in the mirror cave, which was still dim under the effect of the light moss, appeared in front of Filio.

At the same time, Branca and Alex, who were still in shock, appeared.

Unlike Philio who knew everything, the two of them were struggling to find a way to break the situation just now, and they just got a glimpse of the door.

When they returned to reality at the last moment, they failed to figure out what was going on.

Confused, they only knew that they were rescued, but they didn't know what happened, let alone who saved them.

In this regard, Philio, who didn't want to ask for trouble, didn't point it out. He just got up silently, comforted the two of them, and walked to the place where he had just fought with Blanca, where the mirror wall was.

On the mirror wall that had returned to its original shape, a blurry figure flashed past, as if smiling at Filio.

".The world is really big and full of wonders."

Whispering to himself, Philio lowered his head and looked at his watch, only two or three hours had passed.

"March!"

The little dream demon leaned forward and gently tugged on Filio's earlobe, so that he wouldn't have to think about it.

No matter what happens, it will always be by Filio's side.
-
"Do you know anything? Philio."

Behind Filio, Blanca and Alex also came over and asked in a deep voice.

"The world in the mirror is also very exciting. It's very strange to be exactly like us. Although it feels bad to die, I think it's quite rewarding. How about you? Maybe we can train together for a while , Absorb what you experienced today."

Instead of answering the question, Filio turned around and looked at the two with a smile, and gave his proposal.

In the mirror world behind him, a faint light slowly emerged.

It's as if some creative upheaval is secretly going on within it.
