Luther and Kukui got to know each other quickly. While Cheng was also introducing the characteristics of Luther's elf to the students, the two talked a lot about the battle.
Luther could feel Kukui's enthusiasm for the battle, and could even hear the hidden intention of fighting in his words.
"When my commission is over, if I have time, I will consider this matter again."
Kukui gave Luther a fierce hug, so powerful that Luther suspected that he would throw him on his back at any time, so that he could feel the charm of wrestling.
The students were all using the limited time to interact with Luther's elves as much as possible. Only Lillie stayed alone.
Once such an occasion arrives, she will be particularly conspicuous.
"Don't you want to touch it with your own hands?" Although he knew that this sentence was of little use, Luther still said it.
Lillie trembled suddenly and waved her hands repeatedly, indicating that she could just stand aside and watch.
"As long as I get close to the elves, my body will stiffen unconsciously. I also want to touch them." Perhaps she was afraid that Luther would misunderstand, Lillie explained.
Suddenly, Sui Lian, Mao and even Kaki looked at Lillie in surprise.
Being stared at by her friends, thinking that there was something dirty on her body, Lillie quickly lowered her head and looked carefully.
"Why...are you all looking at me?" Lillie asked doubtfully.
Sui Lian hesitated to speak, Mao looked at the shadow on Lillie's feet curiously, and Kachi and Mamane looked thoughtful.
"You are in direct contact with the elves now." Luther said.
Lillie twitched, turned around in panic, and then looked up at the sky, but saw no trace of the elf. The nearest elf was Little Silver lying on the ground, exposing her belly for Shijana to touch.
"This joke scared me." Lillie let out a sigh as she patted her chest.
"It's not a joke, you should..." Shui Lian seemed a little unsure, and after thinking for a while, she said, "It's considered to be in contact with the elves."
"Where, where!" Lillie trembled again. After she couldn't find the elf everyone was talking about, she quickly spun around in circles as if she was on fire.
"Under my feet, in your shadow." Everyone said in unison.
Lillie was stunned, her teeth trembling, and it took her a long time to carefully move her gaze to her feet.
There was nothing, except her own shadow, and she couldn't see any trace of the elves at all.
"Rotom, you should have updated the illustrated information about Darkrai just now, right? Think about it," Luther said.
"Darkrai, the dark elf, is the latest addition to the regular data. You can move around in the shadows and blend in."
Lillie listened to the sound of the Rotom Pokédex and looked around.
Heiluga was teasing the students who came into contact with him with his tail.
Gardevoir uses mental power to make students levitate during performances.
Xiao Yin was still on the ground acting coquettishly towards Shijana.
Green cotton birds form into balls, perfectly disguised as marshmallows.
Miao Miao used her mental power to control the cat-catching stick to float in mid-air, swaying left and right, causing the eyes of other students to drift back and forth.
Only Darkrai disappeared at some point.
Looking down at the shadow under her feet, Lillie's legs suddenly felt a little numb, but it seemed that it was because Darkrai didn't show up. She didn't turn to stone as usual, nor did she jump away because of fear.
I just feel uncomfortable all over.
"Can you let him leave?" Lillie said with a trembling voice.
"What's your normal reaction when you meet an elf before?"
"Don't dare move!" Lillie yelled.
"What about you now?"
Lillie threw herself on Mao, still trembling when she heard Luther's question.
"It seems that I can move..."
"It doesn't seem like it, but you can move. You rushed over and jumped on me, almost knocking me down."
In order not to irritate Lillie, the Sweet Bamboo Bamboo on Mao had already predicted in advance and jumped onto Kaqi.
"Look down and look at the shadow again." Luther knelt down and encouraged Lillie, "Just looking at him, he didn't appear directly. You just feel his presence."
"Just think of it as observing Darkrai through something thinner than glass," Luther said.
As if gaining courage from Luther's words, Lillie took a deep breath, and after a long while, she showed a look of death, and her eyes gradually became firmer.
After she stood up, she lowered her head abruptly and looked directly at her own shadow.
There was still no movement in the shadow, making people wonder if Darkrai didn't exist there at all.
The school bell rang suddenly, which made Lillie sigh in relief.
"How do you feel?" Luther asked.
"I know you want to help me... It's true that it's not as scary as direct contact, but... I'm still a little uncomfortable."
"You can adapt to and overcome discomfort. Darkrai will go home with you tonight. I will pick him up from school tomorrow."
Luther's words made Shui Lian drool with envy. Being able to stay with the legendary Darkrai for a whole night, she also wanted to have such an experience.
But Lillie was stunned.
She was extremely confused.
Even though he could come into contact with elves like Darkrai, the fear in his heart still lingered.
"Well, if you don't want to, I will take back what I said." Luther stretched out his hand towards Lillie's shadow.
Lillie hurriedly shouted: "I am willing, but...can you tell Darkrai not to come out suddenly..."
When she said yes, she was very confident. The further back she went, the softer Lillie's voice became.
"No problem. My Darkrai understands people's emotions very well. You will be his trainer tonight. What kind of actions he will make depends on your orders."
Lillie heard Luther's words and looked at the shadow under her feet, feeling proud.
She bowed to Luther, and was about to invite Luther to her home as a guest, but she found that after saying goodbye to Chengya and Kukui, he took Shijana away.
Before leaving, he also declined an invitation to dine at the restaurant run by the Mao family, saying that he would still have time in the future and not be in a hurry.
On the way back to the hotel, Dream Demon, Gardevoir and Miaomiao looked at Luther suspiciously.
"Why did you three keep looking at Master on the way back?" Hijana, who was eating cookies, finally couldn't help asking the question she had been struggling with.
"They're not looking at me, they're probably looking at him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Darkrai emerged from Luther's shadow.
The Dream Demon and Gardevoir showed such expressions as expected.
"Why is Darkrai here!" Shijana was so shocked that she dropped the cookies in her hand, but fortunately, Miaomiao flew over quickly and caught it in one gulp.
"Wait a minute, Darkrai is here with the master, then who is the elf in Lillie's shadow?"
"There are no elves in Lillie's shadow from beginning to end." Luther shrugged.
