I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

Gardevoir and Gyarados exchanged a glance, and ultimately decided to obey Ye Feng's order and begin to gather their moves.

"stop!"

Just as Gardevoir and Gyarados were about to attack, a gentle voice suddenly rang out, stopping them in their tracks.

Ye Feng looked up and his pupils suddenly contracted.

An elf, resembling a deer with blue and black fur, appeared nearby and was staring intently at them.

“Xerneas…” Ye Feng clenched his fist and whispered, “You’re going to stop me?”

“No, young man, you cannot kill Yveltal, or the world will descend into chaos.” Xerneas, completely disregarding Ye Feng’s attitude, responded to him telepathically, his voice sounding very gentle.

"What does that have to do with me?" Ye Feng roared. "It..."

“I can save your Arcanine and Cocoyora,” Xerneas said.

Ye Feng's eyes widened suddenly. That's right, Yveltal controls death, but in contrast, Xerneas controls eternal life.

With it around, Arcanine and Cocoyora are saved!

···

Upon hearing that Arcanine and Cocoyar could be saved, Ye Feng relaxed and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

As he fell, the keystone in his hand rolled away.

"Crack!"

Cracks began to appear on the keystone, and in the blink of an eye, it shattered, turning into shimmering powder that dissipated into the air in the wind.

Chapter 162 Conversation with Xerneas

···

Ye Feng only felt a loud noise in his ears. He frowned and opened his eyes, feeling a splitting pain in his head and a complete lack of strength in his body.

At that moment, a warm light shone down, and Ye Feng immediately felt his headache disappear, his body was filled with energy, and he felt great, with a good appetite... cough.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, several heads popped up. Ye Feng rubbed his blurry eyes and saw that it was Gardevoir, Gyarados, Arcanine, and Cocoyar.

"Uh, this is..." Ye Feng was still a little confused and hadn't come to his senses for a moment.

"Young man, you're awake." At this moment, a gentle voice came, and the elves all made way, revealing a deer head in Ye Feng's sight.

"Huh? Why is there a deer?" Ye Feng was taken aback.

"Uh, I think you can call me Xerneas, that would be better." Xerneas paused for a moment before replying, a hint of awkwardness on his face.

Hey kid, didn't you just recognize me a moment ago? Why are you calling me Lu now?

Although they do look quite similar... Arceus looks like an alpaca, but I've never seen you call it an alpaca...

"...?!"

Ye Feng suddenly jumped up, pointed at Xerneas, his lips trembling as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

He finally remembered.

Turning to look at Arcanine and Cocoyora, Ye Feng saw the two staring at him with wide eyes. Overjoyed, Ye Feng rushed over and hugged Arcanine.

"Thank goodness, Arcanine, you're alright." Ye Feng rubbed Arcanine's face, crying tears of joy.

"Aww!" Arcanine stuck out its tongue and licked Ye Feng's face.

"Koo-gu~" Coco Dora rubbed its head against Ye Feng's leg.

Ye Feng quickly squatted down and touched its hard head: "Coco Doraemon, you're alright now."

"Koo-gu!" Coco Dora smiled and squinted her eyes.

Gardevoir and Gyarados also joined in, and the four Pokémon huddled together tightly.

"Ahem, um..." Xerneas waited for a while, and when he realized that no one or the elves were paying attention to him, he couldn't help but cough.

"Well, Xerneas, anyway, thank you." Ye Feng realized what was happening and walked up to Xerneas, saying earnestly.

“It’s alright, after all… I’m cleaning up Yveltal’s mess too, it’s not the first time anyway.” Xerneas’s voice trailed off, and Ye Feng didn’t hear the last part clearly.

"What did you say?" Ye Feng couldn't help but ask.

“It’s nothing.” Xerneas shook his head and turned to look aside. “Right now, perhaps the two of you could talk first…”

Ye Feng turned his head and saw that Yveltal had woken up at some point and was squatting not far away with his back to them.

"Hmph, what's there to talk about? He's just a defeated opponent." Ye Feng proudly raised his chin. Now that Xerneas was around, he no longer needed to worry about Yveltal attacking him.

Ye Feng was extremely proud; that was Yveltal, a legendary Pokémon that could grace the cover of Pokémon!

I just defeated it, something I can brag about for the rest of my life.

"Pfft!" Xerneas couldn't help but laugh out loud, but realizing the inappropriateness of his behavior, he quickly held it back.

"What did you say? You brat!" Yveltal charged forward, roaring at Ye Feng, "You defeated me? You're talking nonsense! If it weren't for..."

"Anyway, I beat you." Ye Feng wiped his face. Really, why did he have to spit on me?

"Want to fight again if you dare?" Yveltal spat wildly.

"What's the point of fighting a defeated opponent?" Ye Feng picked at his ear and whistled.

"You!" Yveltal glared, panting heavily with anger.

"Alright, you two stop arguing." Xerneas felt a bit of a headache.

Yveltal was already difficult to manage, and now Ye Feng, who doesn't seem very honest, has appeared, making it even more troublesome.

If Ye Feng knew what Xerneas was thinking, he would definitely cry foul.

You can't blame him for that. Anyone who defeats a legendary Pokémon, especially an old legendary Pokémon like Yveltal, would definitely brag about it for a lifetime, right?

However, Ye Feng also sensed something. Although Yveltal was a divine beast that controlled the power of death, it didn't seem to him like a god of death.

And it doesn't seem to have that aloof feeling... Also, I don't know why, but I always have a strong sense of déjà vu, and I always feel that it looks a lot like someone I know.

“Let’s get down to business,” Xernias said.

"Another match is the real deal!" Yveltal roared.

"Hmm?" Xerneas hummed in response, squinting at Yveltal.

"..." Yveltal paused for a second, snorted, and turned around, presenting his backside to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng blinked, feeling that there was an untold story between these two divine beasts, and that a certain unreliable rumor seemed to be true... Yveltal was a bit henpecked?

Ye Feng's eyes suddenly turned strange.

Yveltal suddenly shuddered and looked around, sensing a malicious force watching it from the shadows.

But then he thought that there was nothing in this world that he could be afraid of, and immediately straightened his chest.

“First of all, I apologize to you on behalf of Yveltal,” Xerneas said softly.

"?" Ye Feng blinked. The divine beast that wielded power was apologizing to him?

"Why should I apologize to a human?" Yveltal muttered to himself.

Ye Feng couldn't help but glance at it.

Xerneas's brow twitched, and he continued, "Although Yveltal didn't intend this, you and your elves were still injured, so..."

"He brought this on himself. Who told him to jump around next to me when I was about to wake up..." Yveltal whispered.

"Shut up!" Xerneas roared, his gentle voice turning slightly distorted.

Ye Feng was startled, and Yveltal obediently shut his mouth.

...Wow, this seems to have a story behind it. Ye Feng's heart was ablaze with gossip.

"But it absorbs other people's life energy, that can't be faked, right?" Ye Feng said.

“That’s right, but that’s not its intention. The power that Yveltal possesses, while terrifying, is a necessary process of birth and death, essential for maintaining world order, and neither can be lacking.”

"It possesses this ability, but I can assure you that it has never abused it; everything has been within the bounds of the world's rules."

"It is simply fulfilling its responsibilities under the requirements of the world's rules."

"..." Ye Feng wanted to ask why such an ability would be in the hands of an elf, but then he remembered that this was the world of elves, and he understood.

Just like in the world of card players, where rules are communicated through card games, this world communicates through spirits and battles.

Chapter 163 The Unknown History: Yveltal Was a Good Elf?

Humans can be divided into good and bad, and so can spirits.

Ultimately, there is no such thing as "black and white" in this world.

But to say that Yveltal is bad?

Maybe not.

To give a simple example, if there were no death, the number of lives in this world would increase until nature could no longer sustain it, and the only outcome would be destruction.
