"Wow, how pretty?" , After passing through a layer of walls, Ash and Kasumi came to a park hidden by the enchantment,

"Is this still Otomare?" Xiaoxia wondered,

This inexplicable manor is not so much for people to live in as it is for elves. The green grass and tall trees, coupled with the fountain in the center, all look so harmonious.

"Who are you!?" , There was a girl's history from behind, Xiao Zhi turned around, but saw the red-haired girl standing in front of him, if it weren't for the exact same clothes and face, he would almost think that this girl with a cold face was a stranger. No, it's still a little different, she puts on a white hat.

"Ah~ It's you, you don't remember me, I'm ~" Although Ash was surprised by the change in the other party's attitude, he still introduced himself.

"It must be a bad guy with the idea of fighting treasures again!" The girl seemed to be very unimpressed by Ash's explanation, "Ladios, attack!" ”

Sizzle~ The wind sounded, and a blue elf fell from the sky and pounced on Ash and Xiaoxia,

"Wow~", the thick-diameter water cannon bombarded Ladios, causing it to change direction and fly again.

In the stunned eyes of Ash and Xiaoxia, the Gotha duck that suddenly appeared and a red elf blocked the middle of the two parties.

"Karnon, you're so rude!" , The sophisticated voice came, and an old man walked in from the entrance,

"But grandpa, they~" Kanon pointed at Ash and Xiaoxia aggrievedly,

"Okay, didn't you see me?!" The old man pretended to be angry,

"Oh~" Canon replied reluctantly,

"You're Mr. Ben Gray of the Museum!" Xiaoxia hesitated for a few seconds, and then recognized the other party,

The old man nodded, looking at Ladias with a hint of doubt in his eyes,

"Ladias, do you want to play with your new friends?"

The red elf nodded, narrowed his eyes comfortably, and then his body was wrapped in the light, and he became like Carnon,

"Huh!?" Ash and Xiaoxia were overwhelmed by the qiē in front of them,

Could it be that it was Ladias who was with us before this? Xiaoxia slowly thought,

Is the elf that the man is talking about Ladias? Ash couldn't help but worry when he thought of that powerful enemy.

At the same time, another place in Odomare,

"Now, beautiful lady, my ornament here is unique, would you like to see it?"

"Props for sale, sir, are you interested?"

"Rare elves, sold at a low price, first come, first served"

There is no shortage of unique vendors and shops on the streets of Otomare, so that Mia and the stars, who have little leisure, stop and stop.

"Aren't you going to take a look?" Mia saw the dazzling array of Poké Balls and whispered to the stars.

Hearing Mia's words, Xingchen was slightly stunned, he rarely saw the other party take the initiative to speak, and the joy in his eyes flashed.

As if feeling the change in the young man's feelings, Mia's face turned red, and she turned her head to herself and looked at it aimlessly.

"My number of elves is enough, I don't need to fill them" Xingchen shook his head, although the other party's mention had to be seriously considered, but now it was not the time to replenish the elves.

"Oh", Mia replied lightly,

Now that he has opened the conversation, Xingchen simply does not remain silent, after all, there are still many things on the other party that he needs to understand. In this way, there was a conversation without a match, and the topic between the two unconsciously shifted to a certain father, or rather, this is also a common topic that they rarely can talk about.

"Ten years ago, the Tongye clan was destroyed, and the four heavenly kings of the city capital who participated in the rescue were almost completely wiped out after participating in the war...... The Johto region was naturally divided among various forces...... "A flash of remembrance flashed in Mia's eyes, "At that time, my father and two uncles were asked by the Royal Academy to serve as the high-level ...... of Jototo"

"My father, who grew up in the city, of course agreed, and took us to live in the city's alliance." A rare smile appeared on Mia's face, which made Xingchen not slightly stunned, "At that time, the alliance was far from having so many buildings, and although we were temporarily stationed, we only had a small three-bedroom building, which happened to be inhabited by four people. ”

"The Chengdu Alliance, has it been embarrassed to that extent?" Xingchen wondered, not to blame him for being strange. In addition to enjoying the resource supply of the headquarters, the regional alliance can also monopolize part of the local economy and special elf resources, which really shouldn't be so difficult. “

"Indeed...... In the current city-to-city alliance, even the salary of an ordinary staff member is enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary family, and there is even a lot of surplus. Mia explained slowly, "But it was only under the deterrence of the well-established organization of the champion of the city capital and the Four Heavenly Kings that the various forces squeezed out most of the resources to supply the alliance. ”

"En......" Xingchen nodded thoughtfully, "But even if there is no Four Heavenly Kings...... Isn't there still a champion? ”

"Champion?" Mia shook her head indifferently, "Ten years ago, more than ninety percent of the champions in the regional league were missing......"

“？！” Xingchen was shocked, and only remembered a mysterious case when the other party reminded him...... That's right, there was a vacuum in the championship handover of the regional leagues ten years ago. During that time, most of the regional champions were deployed to complete an unknown mission...... After that, they were all missing, and they were all missing, which is listed as one of the strangest mysteries in the history of the Alliance. What's even more strange is that the alliance didn't release any information about it......

Since the champion of the Fangyuan region did not accept that task, the trainers in the Fangyuan region selectively forgot about this matter, and with the passage of time, many people also put this in their minds. You know, ten years ...... is a long time, enough to complete the handover of a generation of trainers.

Of course, the stars who are familiar with strange and miscellaneous stories are not forgotten, and this almost bizarre event is enough to arouse his vigilance. You must know that the champion trainer, even if he still has the strength to fight against the divine beast, he can escape at the worst. But in that incident, no one seemed to come back...... What the hell is going on that makes these champions unable to even deliver the message......

In an instant, Xingchen came back to his senses and listened carefully again. At this time, Mia obviously skipped that history, after all, she didn't know much about the original appearance of that incident.

"Johto lost its champion at that time, and the Four Heavenly Kings only survived in the Tongye Rebellion, which was not enough to deal with the major forces that rose in Jotoshi, so of course they didn't have the strength to grab resources." Mia said slowly, brushing her hair, "Fortunately, at that time, my father and two uncles joined in, so I barely had the qualifications to compete with other forces, but restoring the economy is not an overnight thing, and our treatment can only be based on simplicity first." ”

"Yes......" From Mia's intermittent description, Xingchen also has a general understanding of the city capital at that time. Lonely, barren, chaotic...... Is this the capital of 10 years ago?

"It's not as comfortable as the Royal Academy...... But it was a quiet time, and I miss it......" Mia said, tapping her chin to her chin. "You don't need to think about battles, enemies, or missions...... Every day, I would like to work with my sister to help my mother fiddle with the bonsai she planted...... Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, my sister's name is Ruri, if you can meet her in the future......"

Maybe she thought of something, Mia fell silent again, and the temperature of her pretty face fell back to freezing,

"I will" Xingchen grabbed the fair-skinned soft wattle and put it in the palm of his hand,

"Someone......~" Noticing the gaze of passers-by, Mia symbolically struggled, and saw that the other party did not intend to let go, so she let it go.

"And after that?" Seeing that there were more and more people on the street, the two simply found a place with seats, ordered a few flavored pastries at random, and waited comfortably.

"The days that followed were peaceful, and the Johto Alliance gradually recovered thanks to the efforts of many people," Mia muttered, "...... Until that day",

Feeling the softness in his palm, Xingchen's heart became inexplicably bitter...... He already knew what was going on,

"After stabilizing the area, my father and mother decided to travel to the beautiful Fangyuan again", the onion-like fingertips slowly retracted, and they sank tightly into the flesh, but Mia didn't seem to feel it, and her tone was cold.

"That time...... Fangyuan's battle on land and sea just began...... The ultra-ancient elves Sea Emperor Fang and Guradon swept through the Fangyuan region with unparalleled power, destroying towns along the way...... Until the third ultra-ancient elf, the Broken Sky Seat, appeared. Mia turned to the side slightly, "The battle that caused the panic of the people of Fangyuan was single-handedly ended by that trainer, but while they were celebrating, the imprisoned power fell to our temporary residence......"

"Na...... Shadow? Mia said softly,

"Huh?"

"You say, should I hate him?" The girl's eyelashes fluttered, and she smiled for the first time. But the beauty of the melting of snow-capped mountains is so dazzling and painful in the eyes of the stars.

“…… Do you want revenge? Xingchen was silent for a long time before asking.

"Revenge?" Mia shook her head, "Who am I going to get revenge...... Looking for him? No, he's just a trainer; Looking for the Fire Rocks and the Water Fleet? No, the forces that attack us are not unleashed by them; Looking for those two ultra-ancient elves? No, they are not the ones who direct the direction of power...... But if it weren't for them, Ruri and I would probably be going to the Royal Academy to study...... Mother will surely continue to stay with us...... Father will not agree to that guy's request and fall into the darkness...... Then who do I want to vent my resentment? ”

The girl's eyes gradually lost their brightness, and her body shook slightly, falling into the arms of the stars,

It's not the first time that Xingchen has embraced this body, but she can clearly feel inexplicable resentment and hatred, and she is not as indifferent as she seems on the outside...... She has a hate, but she can't find a target; She is loving, only deprived by fate......

"Hold me tight", Mia, curled up in the arms of the stars, whispered, like the last straw grasped by a drowning man, persistent and obsessed, nostalgic for the last temperature.

can't say words of comfort, all Xingchen can do is just hold on a little tighter, as Yiren said.

At this moment, somewhere in the corner of Odomare, the lovers who hugged each other tightly attracted the attention of countless passers-by.
