Elf: Korni’s straight boyfriend

"Then take me to meet Xiao Zhao."

Korni looked up at Seti and said.

Following Korni's suggestion, a hint of tenderness and nostalgia flashed in Seti's eyes. He smiled gently, turned and walked towards the depths of the village, to the cottage where Xiaozhao once lived, and it was also the starting point of their shared memories.

"Okay, Xiaozhao should be in her Pokémon training ground now. She has never given up her love and pursuit of Pokémon training."

Walking through several cobblestone roads, there are all kinds of shops on both sides, selling everything from rare herbs to exotic equipment. The air is filled with the mixed aroma of food and flowers, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

When they arrived at the training ground, they saw a group of children gathered in a circle, excitedly watching the showdown. Xiaozhao stood in the middle, wearing a neat trainer's uniform, with a focused and determined look. Her Pokémon, a lively Pikachu, was jumping flexibly on the field, releasing electric light, and competing with the opponent's Pokémon.

"Look, that's Xiaozhao." Seti said softly to Korni, his tone full of relief.

Korni's attention was immediately attracted, and she smiled and nodded, with encouragement and appreciation in her eyes. The two stood quietly aside until the end of the battle, when Xiaozhao won with a slight advantage, and warm applause and cheers rang out around them.

As the dust settled on the battle, Xiaozhao's face lit up with a bright smile, which was the joy of victory and the affirmation of self-challenge. She turned and looked at the audience, and her eyes inadvertently met with Seti and Korni. At that moment, her smile became even brighter, as if the lights of the entire training ground were eclipsed by it.

"Seti! And...?"

"Who is that?"

Xiao Zhao walked towards them quickly, curiosity and joy flashing in his eyes.

"Besides, didn't Sett go back to the future?"

"Seti! Why are you back?!"

“Seti! I missed you so much!” Xiaozhao rushed over and gave Seti a big hug.

Seti smiled and touched Xiaozhao's head, "I missed you too, Xiaozhao."

"Hello, I'm Xiaozhao, and you are?"

Xiaozhao brought Seti, looked at Korni, and stretched out his hand.

"I'm Korni."

Korni responded with a smile, and the two held hands tightly, as if at this moment, the hearts of the three people were also closely connected. "I'm glad to meet you, too, Xiaozhao. Seti often mentioned you, saying that you are a very good trainer."

Xiao Zhao's cheeks flushed slightly when he heard this, and he lowered his head shyly. "No, Sett is the real genius. He can always discover the potential of Pokémon and give them the most appropriate guidance."

Sett smiled and shook his head, his eyes full of doting. "Okay, the two of you stop flattering each other. Korni, Xiaozhao's training ground is not only a place for her to practice her skills, but also a place for her to share Pokémon knowledge and make like-minded friends. I think you will like it here."

With Xiaozhao's introduction, Kornie had a deeper understanding of this vibrant training ground. She looked around and saw that the children were either concentrating on watching the battle or excitedly discussing tactics. Everyone's face was filled with love and yearning for the Pokémon world. This pure joy and passion made Kornie feel warm and friendly.

"Seti, this is such a magical place." Korni said softly, her eyes full of admiration, "I can feel everyone's love for Pokémon, just like you once described to me."

Sett smiled slightly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. "Yes, Xiaozhao and the children here, they protect the world of Pokémon in their own way, passing on love and courage. This is why I cherish this time so much, because it allows me to see the most sincere emotional bond between Pokémon and humans."

Xiao Zhao smiled knowingly when he heard this. "Sett, you always speak my mind. This is not only my training ground, but also the place where my dreams begin. I hope that one day, I can become a great trainer like Sett who can protect Pokémon and guide their growth."

Soon, Xiaozhao brought Seti and Korni back to his residence. As soon as they entered the house, Korni pushed Xiaozhao into a room and left Seti outside the door.

"It shouldn't be a problem."

Seti touched his nose, hoping that his two girlfriends would not have a conflict or anything.

Seti stood at the door, feeling a little nervous and smiling helplessly. He knew that the first meeting between Korni and Xiaozhao might be a little subtle because of their identities, but he appreciated and loved this young trainer who was full of energy and dreams. He believed that with their kind and tenacious personalities, they would be able to find a balance between them.

In the room, Kernie pulled Xiaozhao to sit on the bed, and their eyes exchanged complicated emotions. Kernie spoke first, her voice gentle but firm: "Xiaozhao, I think we need to talk."

Xiaozhao nodded seriously even though she was confused when she heard this. She could feel the sincerity and concern in Korni's words.

"I know that Sett is like a mentor, a friend, and even a family member to you. He often mentions you in my ears, and I envy him very much for his praise and longing for you. But what I want to say is that Sett is not only your friend, he is also an important person in my life." There was a subtle hint of jealousy in Korni's words, but more of it was honesty and understanding.

Xiao Zhao's cheeks flushed again when she heard this. She lowered her head and said softly, "I...I understand that Seti is indeed a very special person to me. But I have never thought of monopolizing him. He should have his own happiness."

Hearing this, Korni felt a warm current in her heart. She gently held Xiaozhao's hand and said, "Xiaozhao, you are really kind. In fact, I came here not only to meet you, the important person in Sett's heart, but also to hope that we can become friends. In this Pokémon world, it is not easy to meet like-minded people, especially a trainer like you who has dreams and passion."

Xiao Zhao looked up, his eyes sparkling with surprise and gratitude: "Really? Korni, I... I'm very happy to be your friend. I have always envied Seti for having a partner like you. He always said that you are his strongest supporter."

The two smiled at each other, and the barriers in their hearts instantly disappeared. They began to talk about their respective training experiences, sharing the fun and touching stories with Pokémon, and the air was filled with a warm and energetic atmosphere.

Seti, who was standing outside the door, saw this scene through the half-open door, and his heart was filled with relief and gratitude. He knew that his choice was not wrong, and these two girls were indispensable to his life. He knocked on the door gently and walked in.

"How did the chat go?" Se asked, with a happy smile on his face.

"We are already good friends!" Xiaozhao and Korni answered in unison, their hands still tightly clasped together, as if showing Seti their friendship and tacit understanding.

Sett smiled and nodded, his eyes sparkling with satisfaction and pride. "That's great. I've always hoped that you can understand and support each other. In this Pokémon world, we are not only trying to become powerful trainers, but also to protect those who have grown with us, and to pass on love and courage."

Afterwards, the three of them sat together and continued to share their stories and dreams. Sett talked about his experience of traveling through time and space, and his deep understanding of the Pokémon world; Xiaozhao excitedly described the little things between her and Pikachu, and her vision for the future; and Korne shared her responsibility and honor as a gym leader, as well as her unique insights into Pokémon training.

Time passed quietly in laughter and joy. As night fell, the stars dotted the sky, as if they were also singing for this rare friendship and reunion. Xiaozhao suggested that they go to the grass outside the village to watch the stars. That was where she and the Pokémon had spent countless nights together, and it was also where her dream began.

The three walked side by side on the grass, with Pikachu and Sett's Pokémon following behind them, enjoying the tranquility and beauty. They looked up at the stars, talked about the future, and their hearts were filled with infinite love and yearning for the Pokémon world.

"No matter how the future changes, we must support each other and move forward together like we do now." Seti said affectionately, his eyes sweeping over Korni and Xiaozhao in turn, his eyes full of determination and tenderness.

“Yes, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must face them together and overcome them together.” Xiaozhao and Korni answered in unison. They clasped their hands tightly again, as if they were making a promise to each other and an eternal vow to the starry sky.
