Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

Wang Jin put his hands in his pockets, walked slowly to a sturdy transplanted tree, and asked:

"Xiao A, do you think that if an elf gains a large amount of energy in a short period of time, it can shorten the process of reaching the master level?"

"If it is energy that the elves can receive, and then let the elves do their best to condense it quickly, it can indeed shorten the process... But the elves cannot retain all of this energy, and will definitely miss a lot of energy."

"Moreover, this is also linked to the elves' talents. Elves with good talents can condense more energy in a short period of time, while elves with poor talents will need more energy and waste more energy."

Symbol A said this, but then shook his head, feeling that this was not going to work:

"But the ways in which elves acquire abilities are limited after all. They mainly rely on eating, and the elves' digestion speed is fixed. Even if they eat some precious food that is rich in huge energy, the elves' bodies will spontaneously store the energy and slowly condense it with their own original energy..."

"Unless we let the elves waste the energy brought by these treasures, but who would do such a thing?"

After listening to this, Wang Jin just nodded slightly and smiled, without a trace of frustration.

Symbol A looked at his smile and felt something was wrong the more he looked at it.

After thinking carefully for a few breaths, Symbol A jumped up in the air in shock, his glasses widened to half the size of his body, and he screamed:

"You, you don't want to..."

"Not bad..." Wang Jin grabbed Xiao A and took out several confiscated elves and the round stone from the Liuli People from his backpack: "Extract the life energy and inject it into the elves."

“But, but, but…” Symbol A stuttered and trembled all over: “But most of the life energy will still be wasted!”

Wang Jin raised his finger and shook it: "There is no waste, they just return to nature. The total amount of energy in the world remains unchanged."

Symbol A shook his head repeatedly, feeling like he was being deceived by a cult, but it also felt like there was nothing wrong with it. After struggling for a long time, he shook his head and said, "Those elves didn't do anything wrong. This is more cruel than just killing them..."

"Xiao A, you are no longer a simple unknown totem." Wang Jin pointed to the sky, "I don't know what happened to Arceus, but since you are equal to Him in status, your view of the world must change a little."

"Ordinary individuals are just individuals, just components of the world. It is their honor to be used by you."

"To put it another way, we will eventually encounter many enemies, even legendary elves."

Having said that, Wang Jin paused and carefully observed the appearance of the symbol A.

Little A seemed to find it difficult to accept this statement, but deep down he actually agreed with it a little. This natural acceptance surprised and amazed him.

After a moment, Symbol A still shook his head vigorously and turned his back, indicating that he didn't want to listen to these things anymore.

Wang Jin remained persistent and he would never give up any opportunity to improve his strength.

Even though it may require some sacrifices,...

"People and elves will die, and the elves I used are just my property. Xiao A, there is no law in the alliance that prohibits doing this." Wang Jin continued.

"Property?" Symbol A turned around, "That's what you are..."

"Everyone has a few favorite clothes, toys, and pets... For those that I have feelings for and care about, of course I treat them as family members, but the rest of the things that I don't have feelings for are just commodities," said Wang Jin.

Symbol A was speechless for a while, but after thinking for more than ten breaths in silence, he asked, "Then why did you agree to save that girl at the Heart Lake in Sinnoh?"

Wang Jin smiled calmly: "Because this is your request, Xiao A! You are my friend and my companion, of course I will value your thoughts... But at this time, I think you should ask yourself why you care so much about a strange human girl at such a dangerous moment, and even put us in danger."

Symbol A was stunned for a long time, recalling in his mind, and found that it was indeed the case.

It tried its best to save every innocent life, but in fact it only put Wang Jin and it in a more dangerous situation. If it had ignored the girl, it seemed that there would have been many opportunities to win easily and it would not have become a life-and-death situation.

Symbol A shook his head and tried his best to explain: "But, but didn't we save her in the end and win?"

"Yeah..." Wang Jin said with a smile, "What about next time?"

"Next time..."

Symbol A became completely depressed and somewhat unable to accept the reality.

From the beginning of time, Arceus and the whole world have taught them to always be kind.

Thousands of years have passed, and symbol A has experienced and seen so many things, but he has never changed his mind and still persists.

But now, whether it was because of Wang Jin’s words or because of the interaction between consciousness and superpowers generated by the integration of multiple companions, Symbol A had deep doubts about himself.

"Is it wrong to sympathize with other lives?" it murmured to itself.

"No! The prerequisite is that you need to be strong enough to sympathize with everything you want to sympathize with..."

Wang Jin once again took out the glazed stone that served as a bridge and said solemnly:

"Little A, get stronger... Now, I need your help!"

Symbol A's body trembled, and its pointed head seemed to be poured with cold water, with a cool and dry heat. It felt a little confused, but reason told it that it should agree. But it seemed that there was a lump in its heart that it could not let go of, and it could only murmur:

"me......"

After another silence, Symbol A nodded heavily:

"I understand."

After receiving a positive answer, Wang Jin finally smiled.

He took out several Poké Balls that he had prepared long ago. These were Pokémon that he had confiscated from the wanted criminals at the Hunter's Guild headquarters. They were all at least at the King level.

"Let's experiment first to see the effect and the extent of waste..." said Wang Jin.

Symbol A no longer hesitated, controlling its superpowers to link into the Glazed Stone and reconstructing and simulating the inscription at that time.

The patterns formed by those totems were originally taken from unknown totems. Of course, unknown totems can also be borrowed as the source, but it requires a lot of strength. Now Xiao A, who has nine companions, can easily complete this step.
