My elf trainer simulator

The empty but hot arena, the fanatical and twisted audience, boiling to the point of shouting hoarsely.

"Bah!"

Its sharp black claws grasped the metal railing as it looked at the raging battle in the distance.

There is a Pokémon in the next cage saying that a ruthless character has recently arrived.

A ruthless character?

A particularly powerful person?

It sparked some interest, but it quickly faded away.

No matter how powerful others are in this hell, what does it have to do with it? It would be great if I could go out one day.

It huddled in the shadows until the distant shouts faded, the sound of the battle ending.

It didn't take long.

Footsteps sounded not far away.

It heard several cages around it vibrate violently, and the normally quiet Pokémon barked loudly, as if fighting for the chance to be selected.

It didn't do it, after all—

"Eh? Why is there an old doll here?"

"Hehehe, this sir doesn't know something. This is a rare ghost-type Pokémon!"

"It's a ghost-type Pokémon...then choose it."

Zhiga.

The door of the iron cage opened, and it saw a stick knocking on the surface of the iron cage. The sound of violent metal vibration made it dizzy.

It hurriedly escaped, and then saw a pair of gentle eyes.

"Oh~ It turns out to be a cursed doll." The man laughed.

"Sir, you are well-informed. Choose this to ensure your satisfaction!"

——

"You said you just saw a whirlpool. There are a pair of eyes in the whirlpool that might recognize you?"

Fleur listened to the confused Kashiwagi describing what had just happened, and asked with a strange expression: "That is the gatekeeper Pokémon! Have you been to the spirit world below before?"

He shook his head decisively and said: "Absolutely not. I have been to the underground city at most before. If I go further down, I usually can't come up, let alone the spiritual world..."

The bottom mine is a place even darker than a black coal mine. Captain Jinggumi, who once tried to persecute him but failed, was abandoned by his boss, took everything away and threw him in.

He probably didn't survive long enough for the rescue organization to liberate Ourei. Anyway, Kashiwagi never heard from him after that——

Could it be the ghost Pokémon that guy turned into?

No no no.

It's impossible no matter how you think about it.

"This is strange. Even if the gatekeeper Pokémon blocks the door, if it is not under special circumstances, it will not be able to see people and Pokémon in the real world..." Fleur considered softly.

Seeing what Kashiwagi was about to say, she immediately explained: "It was because of the special time of the ritual and the moment of encountering the devil. You have been to the spirit world before, and the condition of being contaminated by its aura is quite special. The combination of multiple factors caused your soul to temporarily Being glimpsed out of body.

"I've said before that you have to tell me if anything unusual happens, because I'm worried that your soul will leave your body... Last time in Zijin City, was it your first time to enter the spirit world?"

"It's the first time."

Kashiwagi responded. If there was no gap in the body's memory, or the incident occurred before he had memory, the trip to Zijin City must have been his first contact with the spirit world.

He thought for a moment and asked, "What about the possibility of mistaken identity?"

"Yes, but in my opinion it is unlikely. Your soul is very special. It is like a silver-white snow mountain under the sun, revealing a light cyan halo light. It is impossible for such a special soul gatekeeper to Wrong."

A smile appeared on Furong's lips, "Things are getting interesting~"

Where is the fun!

Kashiwagi was helpless.

This is the case in the Pokémon animated world. Depending on how much the writers let themselves go, they create one or two holes that are not filled, and then they, the unlucky time-travelers, have to taste these weird things.

"I... will go to the edge and be quiet."

He decided to search through his past memories.

It’s impossible to do this in the past life and this life, right? Like Xiaozhi?

Kashiwagi hopes he doesn't have so many complicated entanglements.

When Fleur saw him walking aside, she was also curious about why the gatekeeper Pokémon knew him.

Although the lost soul cannot communicate, from the fragments of information combined with the information she asked from Shanmin, it is not difficult to judge that the entrance to the spiritual world below has been blocked for at least several decades.

Kashiwagi is less than twenty years old, right?

Furong inexplicably felt a sense of anticipation for a detective to decipher the secret. She eagerly looked at the busy construction site and wanted to get in immediately.

Time comes to night.

Shanmin and a few others brought condolences, sleeping bags and other things. Seeing Kashiwagi sitting in the open space with his head bowed, he asked in confusion: "What happened to him?"

Furong then informed them of what happened at the moment of encountering the devil.

"know!?"

Shanmin was startled and asked hurriedly: "Is he okay? Will that gatekeeper Pokémon harm him?"

Fleur smiled and waved her hand, "It shouldn't be a hostile relationship. If the gatekeeper Pokémon is hostile, Kashiwagi's reaction will definitely be more intense. Even if it is true, it doesn't matter, I will protect him!"

She patted her slightly heaving chest.

"That's good……"

Shanmin felt at ease.

Furong is both a professional psychic and one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Fengyuan. When she said there was no problem, it definitely meant there was no problem.

After several hours of memory searching, Kashiwagi, who found nothing, completely gave up on self-examination. Anyway, it was only a matter of a few hours. The truth will be revealed tomorrow underground.

He took a disposable sleeping bag from Shanmin and said hello to Furong.

"Good night Kashiwagi-chan~"

Fleur's eyebrows were curved, and she was still very energetic even though she was surrounded by lost souls. Even if she wasn't jet-lagged, it didn't matter, and she even started taking notes.

As if ready to find usable clues from the narratives of lost souls.

Kashiwagi preferred to find the answer directly instead of guessing. He found a relatively clean wooden house nearby and prepared to squint for a few hours to recharge his batteries.

certainly.

He did not forget to ask Hupa to bring Boscodor back from the mountains.

Boscodora has been having a lot of fun planting shrubs these past two days. Menus heterochromia and Happy Egg are also helping it, mainly responsible for watering and transporting tree seeds.

The three evil dragons intend to seize the position of leader of the Mane Rock Werewolf and become the boss of those wild Pokémon.

After exercising, Dazuiba put down all kinds of TV series and movies and became obsessed with social software, and took selfies quite frequently.

Recently, it seems that it plans to make a personalized vlog, asking Porygon II and Kashiwagi for ideas.

The answer given by Porygon II was that it might be possible to shoot some exquisite dance videos. Dancing Pokémon such as beautiful flowers and sand bell cactus are very common on the Internet.

Kashiwagi suggested that Big Mouth Baby and Happy Egg make some pastoral life videos of planting flowers and grass, and try to become the Pokémon version of Li Ziqi.

Dazuiwa doesn't know Li Ziqi and has no interest in pastoral life videos.

It prefers to shoot the kind of beautiful and exquisite afternoon tea videos, so recently it is encouraging Porygon II to learn the relevant postures for filming movies.

no doubt.

Big Mouth Baby is no longer satisfied with watching TV series, it wants to become the heroine of TV series.

Dorung Baruto is autistic every day and prefers to hide near him than Gengar and secretly observe his every move; Galar Sun Coral sleeps endlessly as long as no one disturbs it.

Geng Gui and the Duolong siblings...these guys went crazy with Hupa. When they came back, Bomu didn't need to say anything and went to find a place to rest by themselves.

On the other hand, Hupa still wanted to pull Kashiwagi to continue playing.

"We'll have business later, it's really hard to do." He held down Hupa's head, huddled into his sleeping bag and closed his eyes.

"Gooho~"

"Ouch!"

Boscodora and the other Pokémon called each other a few times, and each found a clean place to rest. Menus directly returned to the Poké Ball. The space inside the ball was much more comfortable than the dry outdoors.

Hupa was so disappointed that he squeezed into his sleeping bag and lay down for a while without feeling sleepy. He simply turned on the light cycle and went to the Valley of Creation.

The sun hasn't set over there yet, so it's a good time for the sun to shine brightly.

——

"Wake up, wake up quickly."

Kashiwagi suddenly woke up as his body was being manipulated.

Seeing that he woke up, the tall man in front of him, who was as tall as a giant, smiled, and his overlooking expression was full of tenderness: "Are you having a nightmare? Don't be afraid of cursing the doll, we will be able to leave here soon."

Cursed doll?

Is he calling himself?

Kashiwagi's mind was as slow as rust, until a young man appeared from the side and called out to the man.

"Brother! Everyone is ready!"

"Well done, Liddy. Remember to appease everyone and ask them not to be nervous and wait for my signal. The dawn of victory is close at hand!"

"yes!"

The boy shouted excitedly and trotted away.

Liddy.

Liddy...

Such a familiar name.

Kashiwagi just wanted to recall the scene when he heard the name, but found that his body moved involuntarily, reaching out his dark claws to grab the man's pants.

"Bah bah..."

Such a high-pitched voice.

Kashiwagi thought subconsciously, and then saw the man squatting down, holding his paw, and said harmoniously: "I have to go, curse the doll. Only in this way can everyone have a chance to leave here."

Through the man's light brown eyes, he saw his appearance clearly.

Curse the doll!

I turned into a Pokémon!

In the panic, his brain seemed to finally start working and he remembered everything.

This is a dream!

The memory dream of the simulator?

wrong.

He has never had a dream about a cursed doll, so where did this dream come from? Why do I dream of becoming a cursed doll?

——Gatekeeper Pokémon!

Kashiwagi quickly thought of this possibility, and at the same time, a sad emotion suddenly surged in his heart, as if something important was about to leave him.

His eyes followed the man who stood up, as if he wanted to carve him into his heart.

What is this man going to do?

After all, where is this?

Kashiwagi wanted to see what was going on around him, but this dream, like all the previous simulated memories, was completely out of his control.

He could only passively collect everything he could see as the cursed doll chased after him.

"Chirp bah——"

Everything brightened up before my eyes.

Then crazy shouts came over.

The first thing he saw was the huge ventilation fan on the dome, and then there was a huge metal platform that was extremely open and gloomy. Scattered auditoriums were scattered everywhere, and thick pipes were twisted in all directions.

This is a place that will make you breathless if you stay for too long.

Typical Huangtie Town style.

But in Kashiwagi's memory, there was no such place in Huangtie Town.

past?

Did the Gatekeeper Pokémon ever live in Iron Town?

Kashiwagi didn't know why he was dreaming about all this. The only possibility at present was that the gatekeeper Pokémon who knew him dreamed of passing some kind of news to him through dreams.

His attention returned to the man who seemed to have some kind of plan.

The other party went straight to the metal platform.

The armored tyrannosaurus with a single horn that resembled a drill bit and gray stone armor with thick and heavy skin had been waiting for a long time. Standing behind was a giant bald man with a sneer.

The two said something, but they were too far away and the shouts were too loud to hear.

Kashiwagi vaguely saw the man take out a strange-looking Poké Ball, and after some manipulation, a blue-scaled blood-winged Tyrannosaurus was released from it.

only.

There was obviously something wrong with Tyrannosaurus's condition. Even though he was so far away, he could still make a rough judgment on the Pokémon's condition.

There were more than a dozen injuries on its body.

Why is the Pokémon allowed to battle without treatment to allow it to fully heal?

Is it unwillingness or inability?

Everything in front of me is becoming more and more confusing.

Soon the Tyrannosaurus and the Armored Tyrannosaurus started fighting. To Kashiwagi's surprise, the man and the bald man not only did not stay away from them, but instead continued to move according to the movements of the two Pokémon, striving to always stand behind them.

This is……

Kashiwagi was a little confused, but before he could continue looking, the boy's shout came from behind him.

"Curse Doll! We need to go!"

"Bah bah..."

"You don't want to cause trouble to eldest brother, right?"

He could feel the cursed doll's reluctance, but the boy's words were so convincing that the cursed doll turned around and followed the boy's footsteps.

They came to a dark passage and passed through a dark hole behind a simple shelf to reach an even darker underground cave.

Through the deconstruction on both sides, Kashiwagi recognized it as a mine at a glance.

Mine?

Underground mines, unknown battle venues...

The place just now was the arena on the ground floor! ?

He suddenly remembered that there was a bottom-level arena under Huangtie Town that was closed due to unknown circumstances. If this dream was not false, it should be the one he saw.

"Liddy! You're finally here! How's it going over there, brother?"

An unfamiliar voice brought him back to reality.

Kashiwagi followed the cursed doll's line of sight and saw a pair of bright eyes. They were from humans or Pokémon with vague appearance. Without exception, there seemed to be fire burning in the eyes.

"Big brother has already started fighting. Just waiting for us to take action, he will follow suit and destroy the entire underground in one fell swoop!"

Liddy gritted his teeth and shouted, full of hope: "Freedom is at your fingertips! We are no longer dust underground. Big brother said that the outside world is ten thousand times more exciting than here!"

"Okay! Blow it up! Blow this place to pieces!"

"Roar!"

"Damn the dungeon, damn everything! We were born free!"

"Meow!"

"But, but what about the audience?"

The sudden words silenced the mine.

Liddy did not hesitate. He grabbed the person who spoke and said: "You have to understand that there are no good people in the audience who can come here to watch this kind of thing! They are all villains who would not hesitate to die! Brother also said that normal people will not pass this It’s the kind of battle that brings pleasure!”

Is this kind of battle... similar to the model of a charity conference?

When Kashiwagi heard what he said, he couldn't help but think of that disgusting Shadow Team charity meeting.

After Riddy's narration, everyone present and the Pokémon made up their minds.

"Do it!"

"Do it!"

They looked at each other and acted in a certain way.

When Kashiwagi felt confused, earth-shaking strong vibrations came from all directions, everything visible to the naked eye became blurred, and the explosions like roaring thunder filled this narrow space!

Rumble——! !

They used bombs!

A powerful bomb was used underground!

The screams kept ringing out, and before Kashiwagi had time to react, he suddenly felt a pinprick on the top of his head!

He, or rather the cursed doll, raised his head and immediately saw a huge boulder suddenly crash down!

"Curse Doll——"

Riddhe screamed.
