Elf-like Life

Chapter 6, Pure White Space

zZZZZZ……

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, the little dragon began to feel light and airy, as if an angelic halo had appeared above its head, and its whole body felt relieved.

This feeling,

You should be able to open your eyes slowly now...

The little dragon suddenly opened its eyes slowly, and in surprise raised its claws high, discovering that the surrounding space had turned into a dreamlike pure white, and it was floating in the center of the pure white illusion.

Oh my god, heaven?!

It is said that a person's body loses 21 grams after death.

In short, I feel lightheaded all over, and there's a faint halo of a little angel above my head. All of this, combined with everything that's happened, indicates that the little fire dragon is dead.

"Of course you're still alive."

"Now take a closer look at the top of your head. The angel halo and all that is just your imagination."

A series of incredibly gentle goddess-like voices instantly echoed in the pure white space, then struck the little fire dragon's heart, bringing a warm current that healed its entire body.

"Who is it!"

White,

Spotless white

The surroundings remained a dreamlike pure white.

"*()*"

"I am the goddess who resides deep within your heart. Whenever you need me, I will be here waiting for your call."

soul?

goddess?

call?

You're the goddess who just secretly helped me!

Charmander can now hear the goddess's voice, but he still can't find her.

He looked around frantically, trying his best to find the goddess's figure, but only managed to catch a fleeting glimpse of her in return:

Wearing a pure white wedding dress, with a gentle and intellectual profile, she stood gracefully like a young girl in prayer.

"You're Gardevoir!"

Before the little dragon could have a chance to confirm the true identity of the Goddess of the Mind, the beautiful figure vanished in an instant.

"From now on, this will be our space for heart-to-heart communication."

"Little Charmander, if you ever encounter any troubles, especially when you feel lost, I'll be here waiting for you, quietly by your side..."

Before the words were even finished, although the goddess's true face could not be seen, her gentle calls were enough to move the little dragon to tears.

Thank you, Gardevoir, but...

I turned into a little fire dragon.

And this body that can no longer accept things, and everything that happened before, I can't remember anything at all!

"What should I do?!"

Gardevoir continues to be gentle:

"If you can't remember right now, think about it later. Put everything aside for now, don't feel any pressure, and have a good dream."

Oh no! But!

"What follows will be an incredibly precious journey in your life. You will encounter friends you will cherish for a lifetime, constantly challenge fate in happiness, and enjoy life in hardship."

Could the friend I encountered be that adorable Pikachu?

"Yes,"

"After all, this is a dazzling world far removed from the hustle and bustle of the world, where only Pokémon exist. Are you ready to go back, Charmander?"

What preparations? I'm not ready yet!

"Pikachu is waiting for you, you'd better hurry back."

"Finally, thank you for protecting the message in the bottle. If you still feel lost when you get back, open the bottle and take a look."

"Of course, I will always be here waiting for you, waiting for the next sincere call from the depths of your heart..."

Before the words were finished, Gardevoir's voice grew fainter and fainter.

The pure white space also became extremely unstable, until it vanished in an instant!

"Aa ...

----split line----

Just as the little dragon opened its eyes again, a shooting star streaked across the brilliant night sky.

"You scared me to death! You're finally awake!!!"

The little dragon sat up in surprise, realizing that it was lying on a straw mat made of dry firewood, with cool sea breezes blowing in from all sides. Looking further into the distance, it discovered that it was in the shape of a giant shark reef.

"This, this is all ocean down here!"

Pikachu excitedly wagged its tail, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when it saw that Charmander had woken up safely.

"That's great! I thought you'd never wake up again, sob sob. Anyway, don't worry, this is my home, it's very safe."

Pikachu couldn't contain its emotions at all, and as it spoke, several more drops of crystal light landed on Charmander's cheek.

The little dragon then realized that the corners of its mouth were sticky, as if they had some kind of tree fruit pulp residue left over from being crushed, which had become sticky after being mixed with its tears.

This is the pulp of the detoxifying fruit!

Pikachu saved me!

Although Charmander won a great victory in the battle of honor, he was critically poisoned and on the verge of death. Pikachu used all the strength he had accumulated since childhood to carry Charmander back step by step.

When they were almost home, the little dragon's tail was almost completely smoldering.

If Pikachu hadn't raced against time to grind up the last antidote berry they'd stockpiled three months earlier and gently fed the pulp to Charmander, Charmander would have truly ascended to heaven with a halo around its head, and that would have been the end of the book.

But how could that be possible? Cutting the book after only chapter 6 would make me look like the chief eunuch of the Eastern Depot's castration ward!

The story of Charmander and Pikachu has only just begun.

"Thank you for saving me, Pikachu..."

"Wait a minute, where's Pikachu?"

But as soon as Charmander turned his head, Pikachu vanished. Coincidentally, a magnificent meteor shower suddenly fell outside the reef, and Pikachu, completely mesmerized, was perched by the rock window with starry eyes.

"Hey, hey, little dragon, look out the window!"

"They're twinkling so beautifully! There's a meteor shower outside, it really is a meteor shower!!"

……

Charmander looked annoyed, but still moved closer.

Under the dazzling starlight, the silhouettes of two little ones sitting side by side, admiring the view together, are unexpectedly revealed.

"Little Charmander, do you know?"

From the first moment I saw you on the beach, I knew you were the best friend I had met in my life.

"Also, you were so cool when you fought the bully expedition team later on, you were so incredibly strong!"

"Uh, Pikachu..."

A dazzling shooting star streaked across Pikachu's starry eyes, simultaneously appearing in Charmander's pupils.

"Little Charmander, you must be worried about that message in a bottle too. It didn't break, but instead knocked away the seaweed blocking the bottle's opening."

"But before you check the message in the bottle, could you grant me one wish?"

Be grateful and repay kindness.

Pikachu, just say whatever you want! Don't just make one wish, you can make ten!

Pikachu instantly and adorably prayed to the meteor shower:

"They say meteor showers can grant wishes, so I'll make a wish without hesitation!"

"Little Charmander, you promised me before, we're now an expedition team, so I'm making a wish that Little Charmander and I can always be this expedition team."

"It was true in the past, it is true now, and it must be true in the future!"

"And you're never allowed to leave the team, ever!"

The little dragon nodded seriously.

"Hey, you agreed! That's great!"

"Hey, there's more!!"

"Since we're an expedition team, we need a decent team name, so how about Little Fire Dragon?"

What kind of name do you think would be good?

You can refer to the book cover for your imagination of this chapter; the Gardevoir goddess looks like this. Those who have played the Red and Blue Rescue Team game will know that there's also a Gardevoir goddess in it. In short, the Gardevoir goddess's image is beautiful! July 29th was another busy day, and to make matters worse, the rainy season has arrived, so I got soaked to the bone on my way back. I hope to meet the Gardevoir goddess in my dreams! Please vote!
