"Mr. A Z, I hear you say, have you paid attention to me? Can you tell me the reason?"

In response to A Z's question, Philio asked instead without answering.

Although the man in front of him seemed very friendly, but considering his strength, wisdom and past deeds, Philio still did not dare to be careless at all.

Even if Huayedi forgives him, there is no guarantee that everything will go wrong.

Sensing Felio's fear, A Z smiled to himself: "You know my affairs, so it's reasonable to be wary. However, I have no ill intentions, please believe me."

The three-meter-tall little giant sat on the ground casually, his tone sincere and not fake.

"I just think that you are a person who understands the meaning of a trainer and is worth getting to know, that's all. So, can you have a few words with me before the police come? It will only take about ten minutes."

"Of course, I'm happy to accompany you. I also want to receive the teachings of the wise man who has been seeking for three thousand years."

As soon as their eyes met, Filio had already understood a lot. He let go of his hand and let the wind fairy reunite with its friends, while he sat unpreparedly next to A Z.

"Education? That's not to be mentioned. On the contrary, it was your words yesterday that inspired me. It's a pity that I lacked some courage at that time. I thought there would be no chance to meet again, but I didn't expect that something like this happened suddenly.

, is also the guide of destiny."

Smiling and waving his hands, A Z moved his shoulders so that Huayedi, who was a little tired after just completing the treatment and blessing for the Wind Fairy and several Pokémon, could sit more comfortably.

"So, please go back to my original question. After seeing the power of God, do you still think so? Although we are far from talking about the real power of God. But the kind of power that changes everything, you don't

Eager?"

Listening to A Z's seemingly easy-going but extremely serious question, Filio laughed.

He has already guessed the other party's intention.

He never expected that a newcomer like him would receive treatment comparable to that of the xy five-member team.

"You should know my answer. I don't pursue or believe in the so-called 'changing everything'. What I believe in is the power that people or I can control, or at least understand. And, I guess, your next question

Yes, when faced with people and society that make you despair, wouldn’t you be willing to save them, right?”

With a smile spreading, Filio did not shy away from anything. After all, it is not easy to hide from a wise man whose wisdom transcends the times.

"...It seems that you do know a lot of things."

A Z nodded, as if it was unexpected and reasonable, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice.

"Then, let me, an old man left behind by history, tell a story."

Philio smiled and nodded: "I'm very happy."

......

......

It is similar but different from the different histories that Philio is familiar with.

A Z's experience was more painful and struggling, as well as the unrequited desire that lasted for thousands of years.

During the Hundred Years War between Kalos and Galar, countless people and Pokémon died, and countless towns were reduced to ruins.

Anger, fear, and hatred became the only remaining emotions of that era.

And, unspeakable, extreme exhaustion from body to soul.

Huayedi died in the war, and when he saw the small box, A Z could not suppress the trembling of his body, the despair and resentment in his heart.

The resurrection machine that was built with all the effort is a miraculous creation that transcends the barriers of time and the boundary between man and God.

The eternal light of life and the stone statues of life scattered across Route 10.

After learning everything, Huayedi chose self-exile amidst the heavy burden and great loneliness.

The war is still going on, the hatred is still going on, the anger is still accumulating, and the exhaustion is endless, the "ultimate weapon" has become a reality.

The "petals" from birth to death bloomed in the wilderness of Carlos and in the boundless sea, bringing about equal destruction.

The end of all things, the end of the Hundred Years War, and the irreversible end of the Kingdom of Kalos.

Three thousand years of self-exile, crossing countless regions, and experiencing countless periods of history and civilization can only witness reincarnation again and again.

The friends who have gone far away have never met again, everything they seek has come to nothing, and the power of human beings is so insignificant in the face of history that it is not worth mentioning.

So, he saw his younger brother's descendants, saw the ideal about the world, saw indifference, enjoyment and alienation.

A new reincarnation is about to begin again. Underneath the different exteriors is the same core, which is disappointing.

Until he saw the combination of hope and future and "human kindness".

And the truly eternal god of life, Xerneas, who reawakened from the form of a tree.

Everything comes to an end.

The "key" that had followed him for three thousand years was finally destroyed in the hands of the young Bricalon, and was completely buried by history.

Word by word, the picture drawn by endless time is slowly unfolding in A Z's narration.

......

......

"But... the weapon was destroyed in the end, but it did not disappear completely. It is still in people's hearts and is still gestating in a corner of this world."

"The only thing that can eliminate despair is hope, not another kind of despair. But the irony is that the latter is precisely the guarantee of hope. In the end, what we can expect is only 'humanity that controls power.'"

"It's like the light of destruction at the base of a flower. It's called destruction, but it's actually the intertwining of life and death."

"Powerful power sometimes has two sides. It just depends on how you use it. If you have good intentions, it is the light of redemption. If you have hatred, it is the sharp blade of revenge."

"Young man, you have to know that the power of God is not impossible to pursue, but you cannot lose yourself in the process of pursuing it. God is neither cute nor scary. He is also an ordinary living being, just different from us."

"Huayedi and I gradually realized this during our long lives. Although it may not be correct, it may be able to give you some reference."

"I hope that more and more people will have hope."

In the distance, the sound of police sirens can be faintly heard, and the light of fire can also be faintly seen.

"It seems that our conversation can only end here. I'm sorry for eavesdropping on your conversation in Shixiang Town, but I think you are somewhat similar to someone I know. I hope you can always maintain the original intention you have today.

."

A Z stood up slowly and nodded apologetically, his eyes full of expectation and entrustment.

"Fura!"

Huayedi waved the long-extinct eternal flower and said goodbye gently.

"As I said at the beginning, you are the one who understands the meaning of a trainer. This has surpassed my thinking for three thousand years. We will bless you. We will see you again in the future. I hope you will still not be confused at that time.

You can still overcome all obstacles with hope."

Bowing slightly, under Filio's watch, A Z and Huayedi disappeared into the woods in a moment, seemingly slowly, but in fact they were extremely fast.

"You can tell them my story and don't worry about it. Just put the stone statues of those criminals on the roadside as a warning. Those who create despair should also use a desperate attitude to welcome the hope that belongs to all things."

"Also, don't feel sad about the weakening of your ability, it's just that the time has not come yet!"

The free and easy voice traveled along the breeze and reached Filio's ears.

The last ray of light and heat from the setting sun slowly dissipated.

It's night.

......

......

"Hope and despair... It seems that he has indeed been changed a lot by the senior Hua Yi."

Staring at the empty distance, Philio whispered to himself.

"Eluel!"

"Machimachi!"

While he was thinking, a distant sound attracted his attention.

Shaking his head, getting rid of everything from his mind, he turned around and faced the chirping little guys.

He values ​​the tangible present more than illusory grand propositions and the distant future.

A future that is temporarily beyond our control is not the future, and thinking too much about it is just a source of trouble.

......

......

In the forest clearing, hundreds of wild Pokémon gather together.

"Elu..."

Encouraged by her companions and elders, the Wind Fairy timidly stepped forward, honestly apologized for her mischief in the morning, and expressed her gratitude to the Dream Demons.

"Marge?!"

Hearing that the person teasing him with spores was actually the wind fairy fighting side by side in front of him, the little dream demon jumped three feet high in shock.
