Elf: Who told him to be an investigator!

Chapter 29 Emrido

Hearing Yukidouji say that he was willing to endure what he was afraid of for his sake.

Ze Shu couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart.

Even though Yukidouji had previously seemed extremely afraid of and distrustful of humans, Zeju felt that he was simply doing what he was supposed to do, and that's why Yukidouji trusted him completely.

Perhaps Pokémon are such simple creatures: if you treat them well, they will always remember your kindness and try their best to repay you.

"Thank you," Zeju said softly. "My Yukidouji is the best too..."

"Yoki..."

Snow Child squinted his eyes, looking very happy.

Glaceon sat down at the foot of the tree, tilting its icy blue head. "Eevee?"

Zeshu said with a smile, "Definitely, the other best one is definitely Glaceon."

"Buee, Buee—" Glaceon also squinted its eyes happily.

"Chirp—" Suddenly, an ethereal voice rang out. Before they could react, a pink and blue-green phantom appeared above them, circling around them at high speed.

"Huh?" Ze Shu was taken aback. "This is..."

"Chu mi!" As if sensing his confusion, the phantom stopped in front of him.

This is a small, pink fairy-like Pokémon with a bright ruby ​​in the center of its forehead. Its two tails, each also adorned with a small ruby, sway in the air. Its bright yellow eyes look at Ze Shu with a happy and curious gaze.

It's Emredo.

The legend of Lake Xinqi, where this lake dwells, represents the god of emotions. It was also the target that Team Galactic shamelessly used the "Galactic Bomb" to capture.

At this moment, he appeared in front of Ze Shu.

A flicker of surprise crossed Ze Shu's eyes. "Weren't you asleep?"

"Chu mi—"

Hearing Ze Shu's words, Amrito chuckled and suddenly rushed towards Ze Shu.

It is said that any creature that touches Memrigold will inevitably lose its emotions within three days. Ze Shu recalled the rumors he had read while reviewing materials over the past few days, and was somewhat caught off guard by Memrigold's behavior.

But Emredo's impact on his body felt like nothing was touching him; it passed right through Zeki's body as if nothing was there.

Ze Shu blinked.

At the same time, a clear, childlike voice appeared in Ze Shu's mind: "You're absolutely right, my real body is still sleeping in the lake! What's in front of you now is the consciousness of Emrido! Hehe~ I love observing the world like this! Normally, no one can see me..."

Needless to say, this was clearly Emrido's voice, speaking to Zeki in a way that was almost telepathic.

Looking at the Emerys flying around him, Ze Shu paused for a moment: "You..."

He only uttered one word before Empyrean's voice eagerly rang out: "Empyrean is here to thank you!"

That's all.

It suddenly flew into the sky, scattering tiny pink specks of light. These specks of light fell and seemed to be drawn into the surfaces of Zephyr, Glaceon, and Snorunt, before slowly merging into their bodies.

Zeshu felt warm all over, and closing his eyes only brought him comfort; a feeling of joy welled up inside him. He heard Glaceon humming contentedly beside him, and realized they were feeling the same way.

Emrido's voice continued to echo in his mind: "This is Emrido's blessing!"

"All your troubles will fly away... Those scary tricks from those black dogs won't work on you anymore~ They'll all be blocked by Emrido's blessing~"

What are some scary tricks dogs use?

Is it the intimidation of the Great Wolfhound? According to Emlid, the so-called blessing is a psychological property or move that grants immunity to intimidation?

Ze Shu was making wild guesses.

Suddenly, a pained voice came from beside her: "Yo, yo... yoki..."

Upon hearing this sound, Ze Shu immediately opened his eyes, forgetting all about enjoying the physical comfort, and looked at the Snow Child in his arms with a worried expression.

On the bright yellow hat of the Snow Child, pink particles of light, representing the "Blessing of Empyrean," still appeared around it, attempting to merge into its body. However, at the same time, accompanied by the Snow Child's painful cries, a dark, ghostly energy aura gradually spread across its body, as if trying to disrupt the pink particles of light.

"Yoki——"

Suddenly, an inexplicable shock surged through Yuki-Douji's body. Ze-shu couldn't hold on to it and was thrown back unexpectedly, Yuki-Douji's body slipping from his grasp!

"This is..." Ze Shu frowned, got up from the ground, and forced himself to calm down. "Emrido, what's going on?"

Emrito looked equally confused and flustered, frantically flying around Snow Child, barely able to maintain telepathy: "Chirp, chirp—"

It wanted to stop its blessing, but the dark energy around Snow Child wouldn't let it do so. Instead, it was like a dark claw, like a vortex, forcefully grabbing the energy that Memlido had released in his panic.

Immediately, accompanied by a loud groan from the Snow Child, the pink energy was forcibly absorbed into its body, and everything returned to calm.

Snow Child opened his blue eyes. Seeing that Zeki's chest, which he had just knocked away, was clearly injured, he hurriedly ran to Zeki's side with a worried look in his eyes. He wanted to touch him but dared not, and his eyes welled up with tears of grievance.

"Yo, yo-ki..."

It was afraid that if it hurt Ze Shu this time, Ze Shu would abandon it.

Ze Shu, however, seemed unconcerned, or rather, tender, as he hugged Yukidouji again, saying, "Don't worry about it. You must be in more pain than Yukidouji because of this..."

Emrido, his face filled with shame, stammered, "Emrido...I'm so sorry..."

Ze Shu shook his head; this wasn't its fault. That energy clearly belonged to Yukidouji; rather, it was Amrita who exposed the problem.

He softly asked the snow child in his arms, "Do you know what that energy was...?"

Snow Child looked completely bewildered.

Ze Shu looked at Emrido.

Amrid shook his head blankly, saying only, "This energy... it seems familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it..."

Ze Shu paused for a moment.

He had a vague guess, but he didn't know if it was right.

The only thing he could ask Yuki-Douji was, "Aside from the special circumstances just now, do you usually experience this kind of pain?"

Snow Child's blue eyes flickered. He wanted to shake his head, but faced with Zeki's sincere and caring gaze, he couldn't help but nod timidly.

"Yoki..."

"It doesn't usually hurt as much as it did just now..."

Snow Child also experiences pain sometimes. But he endures it without saying anything so as not to worry Sawaki.
