Spiritual Master of the Elf World

“Reggie——!!”

The extremely huge Reggie Elchi was like a giant transformed from thunder, standing in the vast forest.

In the dark cloud sky, golden lightning flashed like surging golden dragons. Any lightning that fell could cause huge damage to the surrounding forests.

But it just doesn't fall.

"Elechi!!"

One after another, what sounded like angry roars echoed in the woods.

If someone looks carefully at this moment, they will find that on the shoulders of the giant Reggie Elch, there is a Gengar wearing sunglasses. Arcs of electricity jumping up from Reggie Elch's body reflect bright light on the sunglasses.

"Geng ga~"

As Reggie Elch moved, Gengar subconsciously reached out to help him. As a result, when his hand touched Reggie Elch,

Crackling——

The current flickers.

"Geng Ga!o (TヘTo)"

Gengar immediately let go of his hand, and made a loud "whoosh" with all his strength, then pulled the spirit cloth under his butt to prevent his butt from getting hurt.

It called out loudly to Reggie Elchi several times.

"Reggie?"

The huge Reggie Elchi paused, looked at Miss Junsha, the Alliance Police, and their Pokémon all around him, and scratched his head.

That's right.

The exercise is ongoing.

at the same time.

In the vast Oruans Forest, a very tall and ragged man came out of a dilapidated cave, biting a piece of dried meat that had been stored for who knows how long, and looked up at the Thunder Giant in the forest.

Looking at the towering Thundergod Pillar, the man's expression suddenly became serious.

Without saying a word, he picked up all his belongings, a tattered cloth bag, and strode quickly towards Reggie Elechi.

During this time, a few wild sparrows took a fancy to the dried meat in the man's mouth and wanted to get closer to "share" it, but they quickly fled halfway through their flight.

The reason was simple. The sloppy man exuded a rotten and dilapidated smell. He hadn't taken a shower in who knows how long, and his scent was comparable to that of a stinking flower.

But at this moment, the man's eyes were only focused on the huge Reggie Elch who was constantly "destroying".

"How could the ancient thunder giant appear here?"

Under the fine gray-silver hair, the man's eyes were firm and serious.

"He can really summon a divine beast." The older Junsha looked at Reggie Elchi, and the surprise in her heart could not calm down for a long time.

Even though they had heard about this from other Miss Junshas, ​​the older Miss Junshas were still shocked when they saw Reggie Elchi actually cooperate with the exercise.

Jing He smiled helplessly.

It was you who asked the divine beast to assist in the exercise, and it was also you who surprised the divine beast. What do you want?

"I promised to send it back, but I don't have time now, so... it will stay with me for a while." Jing He said.

Anyway, the Alliance Police Department will reimburse Reggie Elchi's food expenses, so he is not in a hurry now.

and

To be honest, Reggie Ellechi is not that shocking a beast.

Mr. Kamishiro, the leader of the pyramid in the battle frontier area, also owns three divine pillars, although in Jinghe's opinion, those three might have been made by Regichikas using "leftover materials".

cough.

Besides.

In the Joy clan, which is as famous as the Junsa clan, isn’t there also a Miss Joy who subdued Latias?

The older Junsha nodded. She didn’t know how big Reggie Elchi’s appetite was, so she was relatively calm.

“However, facing the divine beasts is still stressful for the younger Junsas,” said the older Junsas.

Although the Miss Junshas seemed to be acting in an orderly manner, the older Miss Junsha still noticed a lot of things they were not doing right or were not doing well.

This is the inevitable deformation caused by pressure or negligence.

This is also the necessity of the exercise.

If problems are discovered early, the alliance and residents can suffer less losses when a situation really arises in the future.

"Almost." said the older Junsha.

The "divine beast disaster" drill lasted almost half an hour, and there was no need to continue any longer.

Jing He nodded, and just as he was about to call Gengar and Reggie Elchi to a halt, he suddenly saw

A clay giant flew out from the forest not far away. Its feet were like jet barrels, carrying a surge of ground energy, and rushed straight towards Reggie Elchi.

"Geng ga?"

"Reggie?"

Looking at the clay giant that suddenly appeared, Reggie Elch and Gengar sitting on its shoulder were both stunned.

What?

This part is not included in the exercise plan mentioned earlier.

The main content of the exercise is evacuation and guidance, not direct combat. This clay giant is

However, Gengar and ReggieErki more or less felt the strength of this clay giant, which was not weak!

"Geng ga." Gengar rubbed his round chin.

Could it be that the exercise plan was changed temporarily and a head-on confrontation was set up?

Gengar and ReggieErchi stared at each other in surprise, seeing the clay giant about to rush towards them, Jinghe's voice finally rang in their minds.

"It's the enemy!"

This was not part of the exercise.

In fact, when Jinghe and the older Junsha saw the Clay Giant appear, they were also a little surprised. After a brief exchange of information, they confirmed that this Clay Giant was not the Pokémon of Miss Junsha or the Alliance police.

Then the one who attacks like this is undoubtedly the enemy.

"Elechi!!"

Hearing that it was an enemy, Reggie Elchi immediately felt the desire to fight.

In the previous exercises, it had been holding back on its strength, which was not very frustrating, but at least it was not comfortable.

Now a clay giant rushed up, and it suddenly had an object to "vent" its anger.

Sizzle, sizzle—

Thousands of thunders burst out from Reggie Elchi's body, turning into a huge net and wrapping around the clay giant.

As a ground-type Pokémon, Clay Titan is actually not afraid of electric-type moves, but the prerequisite is that Clay Titan must stand on the ground.

Rushing up like this.

The huge lightning cage fell down, and the clay giant that rushed up was wrapped in the net bag and smashed downwards before it could attack Reggie Elchi.

"Reggie Elchi, come on!" Korni used her hands as trumpets and shouted.

"Road click."

Lucario on the side looked at Korne, then looked at the clay giant that was beaten back.

Do I still need to refuel here?

"Geng ga~"

Gengar stood up, put away the spirit cloth that he used as a cushion for his butt, turned around and crawled into the crack in the void.

When he reappeared, he was already in the shadows of the forest, looking for traces of the "enemy".

at the same time.

Miss Junsha also led the team into the woods to look for the culprit who "sabotaged" the exercise.

The "culprit" was currently staring at Diancie, who was wandering in the woods to see if she could run into Xerneas.

"Who are you."

Diancie, holding a bouquet of flowers, looked at the extremely burly but shabby-dressed man in front of her, tilted her head and revealed a curious look.

When the man saw Diancie, he looked slightly dazed.

The holy and beautiful Diancie held a bouquet of flowers, with sparkling pink diamonds, like a holy existence, especially the gentle smile on her face, which made the man think of his former partner.

But it will be very quick.

Gengar appeared next to the man first. It looked at the sloppy man and smelled the scent that was comparable to that of the stinking flower, but it didn't care much. It was just a little curious. Gengar vaguely smelled the "breath of history" from the man in front of it.

"Geng ga?"

Soon after, Miss Junsha and the others also gathered around.

Seeing so many people appear at once, the man lowered his head subconsciously.

Finally, Jinghe, Korni and the older Junsha also came here.

"It's so high."

Seeing the man's figure, Cucumber Korni couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Almost as good as two of her.

Jing He was also a little surprised when he saw the man.

"AZ?"

Um?

When the man heard someone calling his name, he looked towards Jinghe in surprise.

"Reggie?"

The shrunken Reggie Elchi came to Jinghe, and the clay giant that had attacked them before now stood behind the man like a guard.

But the clay giant was nearly three meters tall, and even when standing behind the man he was still half a head shorter.

At this time, the man, whom Jinghe called "AZ", finally understood. He seemed to have misunderstood.

But he was also a little surprised.

The ancient thunder giant actually listened to this man?

"Sorry." AZ said solemnly, then turned around and prepared to leave with the rag bag and the clay giant.

"Wait a moment!"

Jing He hurriedly called him, then turned to the older Junsha and said quickly, "Miss Junsha, this is my friend. Let me say a few words to him. Your exercise has to continue."

The older Junsha looked at AZ strangely.

Vaguely.

She felt that she had heard of this burly man named "AZ", but she was not from the Kalos region after all, so she couldn't remember it all at once.

Besides, the exercise did have to continue, so after telling Jinghe to just call him if he needed help, Miss Junsha and the alliance police continued with the next step of the exercise with a puzzled look.

And AZ has indeed stayed where it is.

Originally, he was not going to pay any attention to it, especially since the other party recognized him.

But when he heard the word "friend" from Jinghe's mouth, AZ found that his steps were a little out of control.

After Miss Junsha and the others left, Jinghe walked up to AZ and looked at the tall man in front of him who was at least three meters tall. He couldn't help but smacked his lips.

AZ, the king of the Kalos region three thousand years ago!

He was also the king who used the ultimate weapon to revive his Pokémon and was willing to start a huge war.

Three thousand years have passed, and he is still alive.

This is because he was affected by the radiation from the ultimate weapon. Not only is his lifespan unknown, but even his body shape has changed to a certain extent.

Jinghe originally thought that King AZ's infinite lifespan was amazing, but now it seems

In addition to his lifespan which seemed to have no end, Jing He also sensed a ghostly aura from him, as if the candle had burned out but the flame was still jumping.

Is this a strange state between life and ghost?

Not only him, Geng Gui actually feels the same way.

While Jinghe was observing AZ, AZ was also observing him.

A young beast user. No, in this era, he should be called a "trainer".

In the era when AZ lived, Pokémon were more often called "magic beasts", dangerous but powerful creatures that were often indispensable when a huge war broke out.

Young trainers, powerful Pokémon, enviable companionship and... Is this the breath of the God of Creation?

"What are they doing?" Korni looked at the two people who were looking at each other but not saying anything, and asked in a low voice while turning her head.

"Road click."

Lucario spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know either.

However, after a period of silence and mutual observation, Jing He slowly said: "King AZ"

"Do you know me?" AZ finally spoke again, his voice a little low and hoarse.

Jing He smiled slightly, "With your figure, it's hard not to recognize you."

AZ was silent for a while before he spoke again: "I am no longer a king. Now I am just a person who is atonement."

A sinner?

Jing He did not refute, but changed the subject and said: "Then Mr. AZ, if you have time, why don't you sit down and talk?"

AZ looked at him deeply and nodded:

"As you wish, messenger of Arceus."

Um?

It was Jinghe's turn this time, which was a bit unexpected.

Has AZ seen Arceus yet?

Crash——

Beside the gurgling stream.

"Cha~"

The giant forger carried a hammer and demonstrated the chair he had just made for AZ with a "clang clang clang" sound, motioning AZ to sit down and try it out.

"Would you like coffee or tea? Respected King Loto of AZ~"

Rotom didn't know where he had learned these "etiquettes" from, and asked politely.

Squeak——

The Blue Blade Ghost lit the charcoal to create a flame, added clean water that he had just fetched from the stream, and placed it on the stove.

“Roar~”

Master Wudao Xiong held a hand-grinding machine for coffee beans in his hand, which was turning at a constant speed, "gurgling", quickly grinding the plump coffee beans into coffee powder.

"Geng ga!"

Gengar opened his mouth, pulled out a box of "treasured" Yuanqi root tea, and waited for the water to roast.

"Woo~~"

Dragonite set up the tent by itself today, and without Gengar's help, it did a pretty good job.

Diancie and Bing Jiuwei sat next to Jinghe, and the two little guys were whispering something private.

As for Reggie Elchi, he sat with little Kiras and was busy eating.

I don't know why, but after eating with little Kiras for a long time, Reggie Elchi felt that his appetite had increased.

That's a good thing.

AZ watched the scene in front of him, especially the time he stayed on Victini who was chewing the macarons on Jinghe's shoulder for a few seconds, then thanked the giant blacksmith and sat down.

Then, under Rotom's expectant gaze, he pondered for a moment and said, ". Tea if possible, thank you."

"Roger that! Loto!"

"Geng Ga! (D)b"

Gengar patted the picnic table and gave AZ a thumbs up.

Hey! You know how to choose! I admire people like you!

Yuanqi root tea, one sip will refresh your mind, two sips will never make you tired, three sips will make you immortal, yay!

"Coffee! I want coffee!" Korni shouted without waiting for Rotom to ask.

Tea?

Two days ago, she also "recklessly" chose tea, and it was so bitter that her mouth was bitter the whole day.

"Okay, Loto!"

Rotom makes tea, while Jinghe is more accustomed to making coffee by herself, unless her sister, who loves to serve, is around.

"These monsters get along very well with you." AZ said with a slightly complicated expression.

Jing He took the hand-ground coffee powder from Xiong, poured it into the cone-shaped filter paper, and said with a smile:

"Of course, they are all my best friends and relatives."

"Gucha~"

Cang Yan Ren Gui handed over the kettle and Jing He thanked him.

"Partners, relatives?"

AZ's voice was low and hoarse, "Isn't he a slave?"

His eyes became particularly bright and even a little sharp at this moment.

In ancient times, to be precise, in the ancient times when he lived three thousand years ago, Warcraft was a being enslaved by humans.

It is just like in ancient Migina, the Pokémon known as "magic beasts" were equipped with restrictive shackles.

Jinghe slowly brewed water into the coffee powder, watching the brown liquid slowly flow into the cup, with a rich coffee aroma wafting up.

He didn't look into AZ's eyes, but simply asked back:

"Mr. AZ, what do you think about this question?"

After saying this, he raised his head and looked directly at AZ.

Perhaps because he felt guilty, AZ avoided Jinghe's sight.

In ancient times, Warcraft was indeed like this in many cases, but his AZ was an "accident" and he had a very good relationship with his flower Yeti.

This is also the reason why AZ still used the ultimate weapon to revive Huayedi after her death.

He even couldn't forgive the world that hurt Hua Yeti, and tried to use the ultimate weapon to destroy everything.

Although AZ did not answer, his silence seemed to answer everything.

"King AZ, your Chalotuo~"

Rotom brought a cup of tea with a bitter aroma.

"Thank you." AZ thanked him again and took the tea.

Looking at the root-like things floating in the water cup, AZ began to feel doubtful.

What kind of tea is this?

"Geng ga!"

But Gengar raised his teacup towards him, grinned, and called out in a heroic tone.

Friends, let’s drink this cup of Yuanqi root tea!

friend

AZ looked at Gengar, who blew into the teacup and then sipped it in small sips, and began to drink from it in the same way.

Under Korni's "expectant" or, rather, somewhat gloating gaze, AZ took a big sip.

Swallow it down with a gulp.

call--

A little hot air came out of his mouth.

I don't know why, but he seemed to be in better spirits, and even his decadent eyes became brighter.

"Good tea!" AZ nodded.

"Gengga!d(○)"

You know what you are talking about, my friend!

Geng Gui was very happy.

"Huh?" Kornie was shocked.

This guy, has no sense of taste?

Jinghe was not surprised.

For those who have experienced real pain, the bitterness of the Yuanqi Root Tea is nothing at all. That person is you, Gao Jin!

AZ held the teacup in both hands, raised his head slightly and looked up at the clear sky, muttering:

"Is this probably what you call a trainer?"

Trainer?

Korni looked at Lucario beside her, and Lucario also looked over.

What is a Trainer?

This is an overly broad question.

AZ turned his head and looked at Jinghe again, "You seem to know a lot about me? Based on your understanding, do you think it will forgive me?"

Korni's eyes flickered and her ears pricked up, as if she smelled the scent of "gossip".

Jinghe shrugged, "Why do Pokémon and their trainers use the word 'forgiveness'?"

"Huh?" AZ was confused.

Jinghe held the coffee and took a sip, then held it with both hands like AZ, resting his elbows on his knees and leaning forward slightly. Victini immediately seized the "opportunity", using his back as a slide, and slid down with a "nimi" sound.

"It's a partnership of mutual trust. It understands why you do this, and you understand why it disappears."

"Rather than saying it forgives you, I'd rather ask, Mr. AZ, when will you forgive yourself?"

After saying this, Jinghe quickly leaned back on the chair.

I have to say that AZ does smell a bit pungent.

"Forgive myself?" AZ was stunned and repeated it in a low voice.

Jinghe shook his head.

It would be better to say that Huayedi forgave AZ than to say that Huayedi forgave itself, because it was its death that led to a series of "revenge" behaviors by AZ.

At the same time, AZ also forgave himself for causing so many casualties for the sake of one person and one Pokémon.

For a while.

The only sounds nearby were the little ones playing and AZ drinking tea and Jinghe drinking coffee.

A long while passed.

AZ stood up, looked at Jinghe and said seriously: "Thank you, messenger of Arceus."

After saying that, he picked up the cloth bag.

"Mr. AZ, how about we have dinner together? It's an invitation from a friend." Jing He said.

A-Z meal.

"good."

"But before that, have you ever thought about taking a bath?"

"Huh?"

"Once upon a time, there was a man and a Pokémon. They loved each other."

"The war happened, and the Pokémon the man loved was used in the war. After several years, all he got was a small box."

"A man wanted his Pokémon to come back to life, and he built one."

Under Korni's repeated questioning, Jinghe simply told some stories about AZ.

Not only Korni, but the little ones also gathered around and listened to the whole story.

"I see"

After hearing this, Korni looked a little dazed.

This is what a trainer is like, is this what humans and Pokémon are like?

Although what AZ did was infuriating, Korni admired his approach to revive Hua Yeti.

I don’t know why.

Korni, who was originally laughing, suddenly had a moment of enlightenment.

So this is what a "trainer" is?

This time she didn't look at Lucario, and Lucario didn't look at her, but at this moment, a strange resonance occurred between the man and the Pokémon.

Perhaps this is the bond between trainers and Pokémon?

Looking at Korni and Lucario who were quite touched, Jinghe smiled.

This story is not told in vain. Sometimes, Korne and her Lucario may be just a little bit apart, just a little bit.

"Geng ga."

Gengar, who was hanging behind Jinghe, was rarely mischievous, and even had a serious and earnest expression.

After listening to Jinghe's story, Gengar's figure flashed slightly, and without anyone noticing, he floated silently to the other side of the woods.

At sunset, the dim sunlight shines through the thin clouds, bringing a golden ripple to the river surface.

The burly AZ sat in the river, leaning on the rocks on the shore, letting the water wash over his body, while repeating Jinghe's previous words in his mind.

"Instead of waiting for Huayedi's forgiveness, shouldn't we forgive ourselves?"

Buzz——

AZ's shadow under the setting sun was swirling with black mist, and Gengar, with a serious face, slowly floated out.

"Is it you?"

AZ was a little surprised to see Gengar.

"Geng ga~"

Gengar handed over a cup of vitality root tea and sat on the reef that AZ was leaning on.

"Thank you." After AZ took it, he couldn't help but look at Gengar with some confusion.

"Geng ga?"

Gengar didn't look at AZ, but just looked at the gurgling water in front of him and spoke softly.

I heard from Jinghe that you have resurrected your deceased Pokémon?

The strange thing is that AZ can understand what Gengar says.

He nodded, "Indeed."

call--

A burst of black mist suddenly surged over Gengar's body. It looked at AZ fiercely and said in a very serious tone:

"Geng ga!"

Teach me!

"Hmm?" AZ frowned.

Only after using the "ultimate weapon" can you know how terrifying it is. The power to destroy everything should never be in the hands of a person or Pokémon with impure intentions.

He didn't expect that Geng Gui would actually want to learn how to use the "ultimate weapon".

"What do you want to do?" AZ asked in a deep voice.

Did he misjudge Jinghe and the messenger of Arceus?

"Geng ga!"

Under AZ's gaze, Gengar gently touched the cup in AZ's hand with his teacup, then drank it in one gulp and wiped his mouth roughly.

If you don’t know, you might think it’s drinking alcohol instead of tea.

Nothing! I am just preparing for the future of Jinghe!

AZ was stunned.

Prepare for Jinghe?

Looking at Gengar with a serious face, AZ was in a trance. He actually saw his own shadow in the body and eyes of a Pokémon?

It's a little funny to say it, but looking at Gengar's serious expression, he couldn't laugh at all, because he could feel that Gengar was serious.

"You" AZ opened his mouth, "Do you know how much it will cost, how much pressure and guilt you will bear?"

"Gengga! (▼皿▼)"

Gengar folded his arms and snorted.

As long as it is for Jinghe, I don’t care if there is a flood, or if the world is destroyed or reborn!

"That Jinghe"

Before AZ could finish, Gengar interrupted without hesitation.

"Geng ga!"

Of course Jinghe understands and recognizes me!

His face was full of confidence, even complacency.

Geng Gui believed that Jinghe would definitely understand and recognize it. This was the bond between them and there was no need to say more.

But this sentence was like a bolt from the blue to AZ, exploding in his mind.

Is this the gap between him and Huayedi, and Jinghe and Genggui?

AZ's expression gradually softened.

He looked at the "vigorous and high-spirited" Gengar in front of him and suddenly wanted to laugh.

It was not a mocking smile, but a smile of envy from the heart.

Then, the image of Jing He, who was gentle, easy-going and friendly, appeared in his mind again, and he thought of his identity as the messenger of Arceus.

Maybe it was meant to be.

Thinking of this, AZ took out a pendant hanging close to his neck, which looked like a key, and handed it to Gengar.

"Geng ga?"

Gengar looked at what AZ handed over and blinked twice.

What is this?

AZ said: "The key, the key to unlock the 'ultimate weapon'."

"Geng ga?! (▼O▼)"

Gengar opened his mouth wide, his eyes sparkling with gold, and immediately put down the cup, wiped his hands casually on his body, and took the key handed to him by AZ.

Take a closer look.

Is this the thing that activates the "ultimate weapon"?

After giving the key, AZ seemed to feel a lot more relaxed. He drank a sip of Yuanqi root tea, tasting a little bitterness but also the sweetness after the bitterness.

Wrinkles appeared on his old face, and he smiled from the bottom of his heart for the first time in three thousand years.

"If it were you, you should be able to keep this thing safe."

Although Gengar said that he wanted to be prepared for the worst, AZ believed that Jinghe would not give Gengar the opportunity to use it.

With such a Pokémon accompanying and protecting him, how could Jinghe, the messenger of Arceus, die young?

But he didn't understand what Geng Gui meant. Geng Gui was referring to Jinghe a hundred years later.

"Geng ga!"

Gengar quickly threw the key into his mouth, then grabbed AZ's neck and smiled widely.

I have confirmed you as my friend!

AZ's smile grew wider.

"friend."

Night falls.

Jinghe’s temporary camp.

He looked at AZ and Gengar who were sitting together with some confusion.

When did their relationship become so good?

As if noticing his gaze, AZ and Gengar looked over at the same time.

AZ showed a wrinkled smile, um... a little creepy.

Geng Gui's eyes were vague, flickering left and right.

Um?

There is something fishy.

As Gengar's trainer, how could Jinghe not know this purple-skinned little fat guy?

When it sticks out its butt, Jinghe knows whether it is going to fart or poop.

However, now is not the time for "interrogation". Jinghe still has some doubts about the appearance of AZ.

"Mr. AZ, how come you are in this forest?" Jing He raised his doubts.

Didn't AZ wander around, and then be captured by his great-great-great-descendant Vladari and locked up in the Flare Team's base?

As for Jing He's doubts, AZ had no intention of hiding anything. He said directly:

"Because I want to meet Xerneas."

etc!

Xerneas?

"This forest?"

Oroans Forest?

It seems to sound a little familiar.

“Xerneas?” Diancie stood up suddenly, looking a little excited.

AZ nodded. "Xerneas was sleeping in this forest. Maybe he has woken up now."

Jing He: “.”
