This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 248 A story about growing together

The turbulent semi-finals of the Miare Conference came to an end, and the crowded Miare Arena gradually returned to calm in the dusk.

But the spread of information is proceeding at an exponential rate. Rather, as the competition comes to an end, the story outside the stadium is about to reach its climax.

The same is true of discussions in some chat groups.

Either after finishing a day's work or coming out of the aftertaste, several ghost experts gathered together for the first time in a long time.

【Soul Dancer: ...】

[Soul Dancer: Although I watched the replay several times, I still can't believe it. 】

[Soul Dancer: Dream Demon just fell down with a "thud~" and hasn't gotten up yet. 】

[Soul connection: Poor. 】

[Congenial: Poor. (+1)]

Unsurprisingly, the discussion in the group went astray again in just a short moment, but amidst the laughter and gags, attribute experts from various regions couldn't help but secretly sigh with emotion.

When he first joined the group, Philio was just a talented young superpower who was valued by Nazi. It was difficult for him to be recognized as a trainer by everyone in the group. Now, in just one year, Many of them were actually not sure that they would have the upper hand in a full-scale battle against Philio who was going all out like today.

Although this growth rate is not unique - after all, there is still the monster Zhuyu on the Silver Mountain - but it is really amazing.

However, neither Phileo nor Nazi had any knowledge of their discussions and feelings.

Because they don't have much time now.
-
"Qiduo..."

"Bowman..."

After completing a full set of rehabilitation treatment and massage, the lazy big-mouthed baby and the Tyrannosaurus lay down in the living room together. The special giant soft cushion under the Tyrannosaurus almost took up the entire room.

After a time-consuming and laborious package of massage and muscle relaxation for his partners who have made great achievements, the sweaty Filio rushed to the bathroom and walked out of it in a short time, refreshed and refreshed.

Seeing Nazi and Korni who had already come from the guest rooms on both sides, he ran to the small kitchen with great interest, and tried the new dishes that he came up with on the way back today.

Tomorrow, we will see the outcome on the field, but today we have to have a good meal first, and reward our five internal organs temple.

Chopped onions are mixed with mushroom granules, and the light cream is diffused in the aroma of wine, and the juice is simmered.Open the tin foil wrapped around the steak, cut it into small pieces, revealing a light pink color, put it on the dinner plate, and then pour the fragrant sauce, the aroma is overflowing.

At the same time, there was a light sound from the oven, and after 10 minutes of low-temperature baking, the chicken roll made of chicken breast, cheese and ham was announced to be baked.

Coupled with the tomato-flavored shrimp slippery pot that is prepared in one step and kept warm in a casserole, a carnivore exclusive dinner that satisfies emotional needs with heat is more than half completed.

With a legitimate reason and no scruples, Miss Korni waited eagerly for feeding.

Miss Nazi, who is always either losing weight or preparing to lose weight for her career, pretends to be reserved.

But no matter what, a dinner to reserve nutrients and strength for tomorrow's battle is indispensable.

At the dinner table, the two of them had a tacit understanding and kept silent about the battle that had been agreed upon for a long time. They just chatted about small anecdotes inside and outside the stadium. The atmosphere was warm and gradually became a little more subtle.

Kerni, who looked very much looking forward to it before the meal started, became a little more reserved. She just buried her head and struggled with the small piece of chicken roll in front of her.

"I'm full, it tastes good." Nazi, who had a small appetite, put down the knives, forks and chopsticks in a short while, and nodded slightly with satisfaction, "I'll go back first, and you guys should rest earlier."

Saying that, giving Filio a meaningful look, she stood up without hesitation, took a few Pokémon with her that were obviously still unfinished, and left, intentionally or unintentionally leaving time and space for the two of them to be alone.

A subtle atmosphere permeated the dining table, only the sound of knives and forks cutting food and the slight sound of chewing remained. The little ones who usually eat hotly are also gentle today.

The room was very quiet.

Rain is coming.

"I've finished eating, how are you? It's still early, do you want to go for a walk? It's been quite noisy these days, and it's been a while since we went for a walk together."

After swallowing a small piece of steak that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and a small bowl of vegetable soup, Filio put down the tableware and looked at Korni who was hesitant to speak and his companions who were not enjoying their meal, and smiled. suggested.

"...Well. Then let everyone continue to eat, and we will clean up when we come back."

A pair of beautiful eyes shone brightly, and she forked the chicken rolls on the plate with a little reserve. After chewing carefully, Korni nodded slightly, stood up slowly, and held Filio's hand.

"Squeak--boom"

"click"

The door was locked, and the footsteps faded away.

Even Lucario and Sun Eevee, who had the most sensitive senses, could not detect their position, and the atmosphere in the room became heated again.

The mosquito-repellent swimmer, the tyrannosaurus and the scaly dragon are arm-in-arm, munching without any concern for their image.

Big Mouth Baby and Lucario sat side by side in the corner, eating gracefully, but eating up the food very quickly.

Emperor Nabo, Guai Li and Master Itachi sat in a row, eating their own portions while carefully observing their companions around them, very worried.

Inadvertently, Emperor Nabo's eyes swept over Guai Li. He felt a little strange, but then quickly moved away without making any move.

The wrestler Yingren and Elledo, who are out of temper, are both restless types, and they get along very well with the Dream Demon and the Wind Fairy, and even the Sun Ibrahimovic was forcibly pulled over, causing a mess.

The spacious hotel suite suddenly turned into a mess, and the Pokémon who left the trainer began to let themselves go.
-
Even at night, the hotels in the city center are quite bustling. It can even be said that the nightlife belonging to the Miare people has just begun.

In the quiet city park amidst the hustle and bustle, the two walking hand in hand wandered aimlessly, without the noise of the little guys chattering by their ears, they were still a little uncomfortable.

Korni, who was wearing a white training uniform, enjoyed this time very much. She narrowed her eyes in contentment and didn't look at the road, letting Filio lead her around.

The brilliant long golden hair was not tied into a neat high ponytail, but hung down naturally, highlighting a soft and lazy temperament, just like a Persian cat that is obviously not sleepy but is still sleeping lightly in its territory.

From time to time, a few wild Pokémon, but due to the feeding of the citizens, look a bit fatter than the same kind with trainers, jumping past. Not only are they not afraid of people, they are even a little affectionate.

A bold and chubby Shuttlecock Grass laid on Kerni's head carelessly, exuding a fresh fragrance, which made people feel at ease.

He raised his fingers and scratched Shuttlecock Grass's soft ears, making the little guy giggle, and at the same time, Philio gently shook Corny's tender little hand.

I don’t know how to take care of it. Although she is practicing hard every day, there is no roughness in Kerni’s body that is similar to those of the fighters she has seen during her travels.

The seemingly soft and slender hands contain extraordinary explosive power, and with the blessing of the power of waveguides, they are even more powerful.

"It's really comfortable to go for a walk after dinner. The temperature is just right, neither too cold nor too hot. It's like being in your secret base."

Feeling the trust and dependence conveyed silently by the beautiful woman beside him, a warm current surged through Philio's heart, recalling the plain and warm past, he spoke warmly.

"Of course~ I was very selective back then."

Korni raised her little head proudly, almost throwing the swaying shuttlecock to the ground, frightening it into flying away.

She felt relieved for a while, then she thought about it, her expression became a little more narrow, and she joked: "It's a pity that some people can't remember that there is a secret base where we played together every day when they get busy~"

"People always have to grow up." Hearing the joking in Korni's words, ignorant childhood memories accompanied by blurry images appeared in front of Filio's eyes, making him a little nostalgic, "But I was pretty good when I was a kid, even though my brain I’m always groggy here, but you’re always there to help me.”

"Hmph... It's been so many years in a flash." He hummed softly, his beautiful eyes looked forward, and his gentle expression flickered, "I didn't expect that you, a big piece of wood, would become like this. You were still following my ass every day at that time. Woolen cloth."

"Now I am also happy to follow you. Just like this, the scenery is better." Smiling, Filio took half a step back and stared at Korni's back, his eyes deeply attracted by the golden hair.

"Go, you're not serious!" Feeling the scorching gaze, a red cloud flew up on Kerni's cheeks, she spat softly, and pulled Filio back with her small hand, and she was side by side with herself again, " Speaking of what happened at that time, I still remember that you told me a story once, and you didn’t finish it in the end! I’m angry when I think about it now!”

"The unfinished story? Which one are you talking about?" Filio was confused and had no memory of such a thing.

Korni puffed up her cheeks slightly: "That's the story you told about the woman who waited for someone at the station every day holding a bouquet of flowers. You neither told me what she was waiting for nor what the result was. Of course it was Not finished yet!”

"Ah, that's the story you're talking about... It's really a long time ago, thanks to you remembering." Seeing that Corny became serious, Philio couldn't help but laughed, and patted the back of Corny's hand lightly. , said softly, "That story is actually over. Women are just waiting, and waiting itself is also part of the meaning, and it doesn't necessarily have to have a result."

"I don't want to listen to you telling me the truth, I want the result!" Miss Kerney's fist hardened.

Seeing that the girl really wanted to beat him up, Filio had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender, and told the "follow-up" of the already ended story.

"As a result...it's not impossible to say, that lady just stays at that station every day, setting up her own chair and putting on a different bouquet of flowers, rain or shine."

"I don't know if it's been a year, two years or more. The lady is a little old and sometimes takes a nap in the station, but she is still elegant and charming."

"No one knows who she is waiting for, but more and more people are noticing her and her waiting. Although it is only a glimpse of a few seconds, it is enough for travelers who often pass through this place to discuss it for hours, just like a Puzzles are also like catalysts for people’s imagination.”

"Until one day, a man wearing a long black coat got off a certain train that came from nowhere, and together with the woman who was already exhausted, returned to her manor in the outskirts, sending away the only one Maid, I spent a day where I didn't know the details, but I could hear laughter from afar."

"Early the next morning, when the maid returned to the manor from her temporary vacation, the lady could not sleep in her big bed."

"What's even more amazing is that the maid said that she had never seen a man in a black overcoat, and the manager of the station had never seen such a strange train."

Korni frowned in confusion: "Then who is this person? What kind of person can make a person wait for a lifetime and only get a result that I don't know if it is the result at the end?"

"No one knows, maybe it's a person, maybe it's not, what it is depends on what you think." Gently stroking Corny's soft hair, Philio's eyes drifted into the distance, "Maybe it's waiting for my child , Maybe it's a lover, maybe a husband, or an elder, and of course it doesn't rule out life and death friends. Everyone's answer expresses their own wishes. But what is certain is that time is fair, right? ?”

"Really... There is an answer, but there are more questions. You, the guy who hides half of what you say, are so annoying!" A moderate punch fell on Filio's shoulder, and Miss Korni's eyes There was a clear flash of dissatisfaction, but with an obvious meaning of borrowing the topic, "I don't care, I don't like the ending of this story, tell me a story that I will like!"

"Hmm...Although this is a very difficult task, since Ms. Kerni has spoken, I can only do my best." With his arms around Kerni's shoulders, Philio's footsteps slowly disappeared into the forest. "It is said that a few decades ago, in a small town in the Galar region, there was a rather dilapidated alley..."

Although we are in the downtown area of ​​Miare, far away from home, walking into this sparse and quiet grove still makes people feel relaxed and comfortable from the bottom of their hearts, completely forgetting all the troubles, big and small, that sometimes appear in life. .

It was quiet everywhere, and the scattered pedestrians disappeared completely at some point.

Before I knew it, it was very late.

During the endless conversation, the two of them seemed to have returned to their childhood and youth days when they were rarely worried.

One is a person who has been very talented since he was a child. He embarked on the path of being a trainer early and achieved success.

The other is a late bloomer, and only after many years of precipitation has he accumulated a lot of success.

From the carefree children running and playing on the beach, to the children chatting freely in the woods in the suburbs, to the teenagers taking a crossroads in life, in the journey of life, one party always takes the first step, and the other party follows step by step. We supported each other and competed with each other on the road. After many years, we actually returned to a different starting point, walking side by side.

Looking back on my life in the past 20 years, there have been ups and downs, and the silk thread of fate has been entangled round after round, and it has been cut and untangled.

The sparse moonlight was slightly cold, shining through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the trees, falling on the path that deliberately maintained the natural style, and also falling on Korni's flawless and pretty face.

The usually sunny smile now has a quiet temperament. Against the moonlight, it is like an ingenious sculpture, quiet and beautiful.

The big talking eyes hide thousands of thoughts. For the two who grew up together, many things don't need to be said at all, and have already been internalized in tiny details.

But before returning to their rooms to rest, the door was ajar, and Kerni poked her little head out again, with a smirk on her face.

"You need to have a good sleep, so as not to make excuses after being defeated by me tomorrow ~ I won't care about this then! Just a friendly reminder, I have thought of many strategies to beat you, just wait and see !”

"I should be the one who said this to you, right? I'm already prepared to get the No. 17 mark from you, just like the time I wrestled Hawkman."

The little competitive spirit was aroused, and the corners of Filio's mouth were slightly raised, with confidence written on his face.

"Hmph... It's not that simple this time. I want you to see my real ability! I have to give you a good beating to let you, a big idiot, know that you are still far from catching up with me!"

The cute little nose is slightly wrinkled, and the waving fist conveys a menacing message.

Before the words were finished, there was a "bang", and Ke Erni, who ran away after uttering harsh words, quickly closed the door and slipped into the house, leaving only Filio staring at the door in a daze.

After a long time, Filio shook his head lightly and smiled lightly.

After a while, with the slight sound of closing the door, the corridor returned to calm.

Tomorrow morning, the two who are going to compete on the highest stage of the conference will start from here, and in the anticipation of countless people, they will walk to another intersection point of the road of life and growth.

And it made a good story about the childhood sweethearts who have been together for many years.
-
As the corridor returned to silence, Nazi, who was sitting in the room with her eyes closed and meditating, slowly opened her eyes. The light of her superpower gradually faded away, and she shook her head imperceptibly.

"Huh?"

Hu Di, who was sitting next to him, turned his head and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I just did something beautiful for an adult. After all, I'm not an unreasonable person who doesn't understand people's hearts. And... just a little radish, don't you have confidence in me?"

The calm gaze and gentle tone made Hu Di feel a little relieved, and he shook his head again and again to express his support.

Putting down her long hair, Nazhi stood up, touched her dried hair, and said matter-of-factly: "Isn't this the end of the knot? It's getting late, turn off the lights, Hu Di, get ready to rest. Damn it." Catch Stone for me too, and you go with Sun Eevee."

"click"

With a soft sound, the soft light dimmed, leaving only a faint touch on the head of the bed, dyeing the slowly walking figure with a faint yellow color.

After a while, this dim color disappeared, leaving only the rustling sound of changing clothes.
-
Galar, the backtracking arena.

"I'm done eating."

After the wind and clouds wiped out a table of hearty breakfast, the fighting girl with her usual complexion but a little more nimble hands and feet suddenly stood up, nodded slightly to her parents who were sitting across from them, and then turned and left.

Before going out, her father's majestic voice stopped her: "I seem to be in a good mood today, but I'm in a hurry, why?"

"I'm going to increase my training a little bit today, and the eight-claw martial artist has come to a critical moment." Caidou responded calmly with the words he had prepared for a long time.

"I don't think that's the case." The father, who has always been serious, smiled meaningfully. "Is that Carlos boy who makes you want to win again going to play in the finals of the conference?"

"...Well, this evening."

Caidou, who was not good at telling lies, saw that she couldn't hide it, so she nodded honestly.

"I'm free today, let's take a look at it tonight."

Putting down the empty milk, the middle-aged man, who had difficulty with his legs and legs, put his arms on the armrests of the chair and stood up with the help of his wife.

The master of karate, who was admired by the fighting master Si, also restrained his stern side in front of his daughter for the first time in a long time, showing a bit of fatherly kindness.

But soon, this kindness was replaced by a sharp edge.

"It just so happens that I also want to see what level of good opponent you can never forget. By the way, let's take a look at the fighting gym in Carlos. After senior Cocobull retires, how many catties are there?"

Even though he was seriously injured and it was difficult to move, when he opened his eyes, there was still a sharp cold light that made people dare not look directly at him.
-
On the fifth floor of Jiayuan Gym, Melissa, who had just finished her performance, picked up her mobile phone with great interest, sat cross-legged on her bed in the dark, and rubbed the wizard's hat that the Dream Demon had brought over.

In Luling City, after giving a severe lesson to the two talkative little radishheads, and being taught a lesson by the champion who did not do business and stayed at home, the furious Furong rushed to send Shenshan overnight.

The top of the tower was scorched, and the gym leader, Matsuba, who had closed the gym for a day, sat cross-legged on the floor that still maintained his appearance when the lightning struck, holding his tablet and staring intently.

At the headquarters of the Sinnoh Alliance, King Wusong, who stayed up late at night and worked hard to write, was full of indignation, but he dared not speak out. He just wanted to finish the mountain of work at hand as soon as possible and wait for the moment to quietly watch the battle in the middle of the night.
-
Carlos, Miare Arena, Miare Arena.

May 3, morning.

The bright morning light pierces the night sky, and the sleeping city wakes up from its dream.

Bustling crowds of people converge from all over to a common destination. Today's metropolis has only one theme.

Fight and win.

The apprentices of Baike Gymnasium walked in the front of the crowd, surrounded by Bi Lanqi, who was wearing a white beret and enjoying everyone's attention.

Behind her, Ge Jihua was smiling and greeting Defu who happened to meet on the way.

Not far away is the team of Miare University, from freshmen to prospective graduates, all present, and the leader is Bai Yu with a smile on his face.

In the crowd behind, Chakro and Violet are still hiding in an inconspicuous place, but today, there are two more restless guys around them——Citron, who was freed from the commentary task, and he would not be able to do anything anyway. The sister who clamored to come to the scene.

The stalls in the square outside the venue are still busy, but the one with the best business is missing. The boss with ever-changing appearance and her taciturn follower have gone somewhere, maybe hidden in the crowd.

In a small area, most of Carlos' top trainers and their disciples gathered.

The hustle and bustle outside the venue gradually faded away, and the heat inside the arena has just begun.

The chaotic entrance finally came to an end after stumbling. The King of Champions who attended the ceremony were all seated in the VIP seats. Chairman Ravi slowly walked out from the passage behind him, flanked by several staff members who were pushing him. There is a mobile base for the Miare Gold Cup.

Seeing the appearance of the championship trophy, many Sara spectators who came overnight cheered loudly.

The joy of the previous early summer is still before our eyes, and the joy of early spring comes again.Regardless of victory or defeat, this gold cup will return to their hometown on the seaside with them.

The surging sound waves rose into the sky and went straight to the sky.

Even if the chairman pressed his hands repeatedly, he could not suppress the enthusiasm at the scene. He had to sit down with a wry smile and wait for the emotional catharsis to come to an end.

At Filio's house, Kamal, who had taken leave from school and rushed back from school, sat on the sofa with his arms around his wife and looked at the TV with relief.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that Ke Kebuer was standing outside with a smile on his face.

In the college, Muriel, who was full of spring, was reclining on the armchair without any image at all. There was no one beside him, only the shadow under his feet rolled over and over again, and finally a purple fat man with a lot of snacks came out.

In the newly-decorated player tunnel overnight, listening to the fading noise outside the arena, Fillio's face was calm, and his long-distance gaze was fixed on the front.

Super-powerful blue light flashed in his eyes.

Passing through the exit of the player passage, passing through the narrow glass corridor and the battle field that has not yet risen, you can just see Kerni playing with the corner of her clothes.

Then, in an explosion without warning, the straight-stretching superpowers spread in all directions. In an instant, countless information poured into Filio's mind, making him feel as if he was above the Miare Arena, and he was enough to see everyone here. Every inch of land, every person, every Pokémon.

The faces of the audience are filled with joy and anticipation.

Walking to the microphone with a smile, the chairman took out the player information in his hand for the second time, preparing to read it out in person.

Qiao An sneakily ran to the passage behind the VIP seats and pricked up his ears to hear something, but was caught on the spot.

Sitting in a row with their friends, chatting and laughing, Aix and Huayi arrived just in time for the finals.

Thornton specially skipped work and came from Salomon to hang out in the stands of the University of Miami, fooling around with Antoine.

Haiyun and Yaya couldn't bear their temper before seeing the two contestants. With their cameras in their hands, Haiyun and Yaya kept shuttering.

With a lily root doll on his head, he chatted enthusiastically with strangers around him for the first time.

Of course, there is also Nazi, who wears big sunglasses, hides her expression in the darkness, and exudes a cold air that should be kept away from strangers.

Feeling Felio's attention for no reason, Nazi gently took off her sunglasses, her brows and eyes curved into a gentle arc.

The countless memories accumulated during the long journey gathered in his heart, making Philio's heart extraordinarily pure and peaceful. The invisible power sleeping in the deepest part of the spiritual world trembled slightly, gushing out a shallow warm current.

【The champion of the first half of the division, Filio from Salo City, please come on stage! 】

The countdown on the big screen reset to zero, and a notification sound came from the ear.

[Miare Conference finals, start now! 】

The shouts outside the stadium disappeared instantly, and only the warm atmosphere brewing with bated breath spread in the packed Miare Arena.

"let's go."

Touching the dream monster eager to try above his head, and taking it back into the poke ball, Philio smiled and walked up the corridor lit by spotlights and sunlight.
