Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 29 Symbiosis
Humans and Pokémon are both part of this world.

As a transmigrator, Raven was well aware that humans and Pokémon could absolutely coexist.

How can I make peace with the foam squirrel?
Raven fell into deep thought.

Several knights around, weapons in hand, cautiously watched the magical beasts.

For a time, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

The little faces of the foam squirrels were full of anger, and they showed no intention of backing down.

These humans cut down the big trees they live in and destroyed their homes. They must drive these big bad guys out of the forest!
"Chestnut!"

The foam squirrel started throwing small stones and twigs at the crowd, trying to drive them away.

"Your Highness, please be careful!" A knight stepped in front of Raven.

Seeing their companion being attacked, the three snow-hat monsters could no longer hold back this time.

"Ugh!"

They all stepped forward and used their signature moves to attack the foam squirrels in the tree.

Freezing beam!

Flying leaf sharp knife!

Frozen wind!

A beam of light, as white as frost, mixed with sharp leaves, blasted towards the branch where the foam squirrel was located, swept by the freezing wind.

Before the foam squirrel could dodge, it was hit by these three attacks and fell from the tree without even making a sound.

The other four foam squirrels, upon witnessing this scene, instantly became enraged.

"Chestnut!"

They retaliated with various moves, including high-speed star attacks and a series of slaps.

"Stop right now!" Raven tried to stop him.

But the foam squirrel was too angry to listen to anything.

They jumped down from the trees and rushed towards the Snow Hat Monster and the surrounding humans from all directions.

"Mini Dragon, electromagnetic wave!"

The Dratini flew forward, and a burst of yellow electricity shot out from its body, accurately striking a Bubble Squirrel that was trying to slap a woman repeatedly.

The foam squirrel's attack was interrupted, and it immediately fell into a paralyzed state.

Seeing this, Raven could only order in a deep voice, "Erif, take everyone away from here first!"

"Yes!" Elif nodded and said, "Your Highness, please be careful!"

Soon, only Raven, a few knights, and the Snow Hat Monster and Foam Squirrel fighting each other remained in the entire logging camp.

Looking at the chaotic scene before him, Raven felt a terrible headache coming on.

It seems we can only have a proper conversation after the battle is over!

Raven immediately stopped hesitating.

Use Pokémon to fight in battles!

He refused the intervention of several knights, and then said to the Mini Dragon:

"tornado!"

"Ugh——!"

Dratini channeled its Dragon-type energy, and the purple energy transformed into a tornado that it spewed from its mouth, knocking away a Bubble Squirrel that was pouncing on Snowcap.

Seeing its companion being attacked, another bubble squirrel angrily charged at the dwarf dragon from the side.

Its little paws are raised high—to clap!
The foam squirrel was very fast. Although Raven immediately gave the command to dodge, the dwarf dragon's lack of combat experience made it react a beat too slow.

The foam squirrel slapped the dwarf dragon.

Seeing this, Raven quickly changed his strategy. "Tighten!"

As soon as the foam squirrel landed on the ground, the slender body of the miniature dragon tightly bound it.

"Chestnut!"

The foam squirrel tried to struggle, but the dwarf dragon's strength only increased, and it was impossible for it to break free.

“Electromagnetic waves.” Raven ordered a pursuit.

With a flash of yellow lightning, the foam squirrel quickly lost its fighting ability due to paralysis.

When Raven looked up again, the battle was over.

All five foam squirrels collapsed to the ground, unable to fight.

The snow-hat monsters also suffered injuries of varying degrees.

They looked at the three Pokémon in front of them with some anger.

“Stop it, Snow Hat Monster!” Raven said, sounding a bit annoyed.

"Hmm?" The snow-hatted monsters turned around and looked over.

Raven slowly walked forward with the Mini Dragon. He squatted down in front of the five foam squirrels, pondering how to start the conversation.

At this moment, the five foam squirrels each had a different expression.

Some burst into tears, some had tears welling up in their eyes, and others bit their lips with a defiant expression...

They're doomed, they're doomed!
Because they lost, they were unable to protect their homes, and these villains will seize their homes and drive them away...

"Lili!" You bad guy!
A foam squirrel cried and shouted loudly.

They had even imagined themselves being driven from their homes, carrying a small wooden stick with a small bundle tied to the other end, walking homeless in the vast snow.

Raven: "..."

“Please stop!” he said.

The five foam squirrels in front of him immediately stopped crying and all looked at him.

Looking at the five Pokémon's eyes, which seemed to want to cry but dared not, Raven felt like some kind of bully forcing women into prostitution.

He sighed helplessly, and then said sincerely, "I'm sorry, Foam Chipmunk."

The five foam squirrels in front of them immediately froze on the spot.

Not only them, but even the vine snakes hiding in the shadows were slightly taken aback.

What did they hear?
This big bad guy is actually apologizing to them?!
"Chicken?" a foam squirrel tentatively called out.

“I admit that we destroyed your homes, but if we hadn’t done this, not only me, but also those behind me would have died in this blizzard,” Raven said slowly.

Perhaps his tone was too heavy, so the five foam squirrels subconsciously turned their gazes toward the humans watching them from a distance.

Death... In the mind of the foam squirrel, it is a very terrible thing.

If you die, you'll never wake up again, never eat delicious pine cones and berries again, and never play with your friends again.

“We need this wood because it can help us build sturdy houses, which in turn can shelter us from the wind and rain, allowing us to safely get through this cold winter.”

“I know that cutting down these trees is destroying your homes, and I’m sorry. But we have no choice but to stop in order to survive.”

As he spoke, Raven's gaze swept across the faces of the foam squirrels in front of him.

He has no intention of forcibly driving them away, nor does he intend to give up cutting down trees.

Therefore, Raven could only take a compromise.

"To express our apologies, we will do our best to make it up to you."

"In the name of the lord of this territory, I promise you that when this winter ends, the ice and snow melt, and spring arrives, I and everyone will work hard to help you rebuild a forest, a forest full of fruit trees. At that time, that will be your new home, and you will have an endless supply of fruit trees."

"Until then, if you are willing to trust us, you can treat our territory as a temporary home and spend this cold winter with us."
