The divine tree pierced through the deep, dark clouds once more.

The branches stretched and grew wildly above the clouds, with tender green buds peeking out and unfurling their emerald green leaves.

The massive, bronze-colored trunk is covered with a tangled web of sturdy branches.

Bathed in golden light, it shimmered with a bright, hopeful brilliance.

The elves stood frozen in place.

Shock and astonishment spread rapidly throughout the crowd like a plague.

Their eyes widened, and their lips parted wide.

For a moment, they didn't know whether they should be happy about the return of the sacred tree or kneel down in worship.

In their eyes, the newly born sacred tree no longer possessed the gentle warmth of their familiar mother.

Even though the divine tree had been resurrected, these elves seemed as if they had not truly come back to life, devoid of any vitality.

Even the emerald green and bronze on the surface look fake.

At that moment, a surge of lava melted the space, revealing an enormous red tunnel.

A terrifying heat instantly swept across the entire forest.

The gazes of countless elves were drawn to it.

Then, the man in the trench coat walked out of the scorching tunnel.

Kokot followed behind Viktor, drifting slowly down on a cloud.

Behind the two, Vinya's eyes darted around, she bit her lip, and the muscles on her face twitched slightly.

Just now, she passed through that thing.

Can it really be called a portal?

Even though she couldn't feel any scorching heat inside, she was still shaken.

Vinya turned around and looked at the tunnel flowing with lava.

The lava flowed slowly down to the ground, colliding with the dew on the surface of the grass.

A tiny wisp of white mist suddenly erupted, the lava solidified, forming black stones that lay exposed on the grass, leading directly to the base of the divine tree.

The elves stared at the dark, gravel road, not daring to utter a sound.

They were afraid that one of the lava rocks would break apart.

Victor looked at Vinya and said calmly:

"Now, just like you did before."

"Offer your natural energy to the sacred tree."

Upon hearing Viktor's command, Vinya straightened her expression and placed one hand tightly against her chest.

Carefully, I walked across the black gravel road and stood before the sacred tree.

She slowly placed her hand on the sacred tree, and the bronze trunk gradually began to twist.

Fluorescent green natural energy overflowed from her palm and flowed along the veins of the giant tree.

That touch of green quickly pierced through the entire bronze tree trunk and began to spread throughout the entire sacred tree.

The illuminated patterns gradually moved towards the treetop, pierced through the clouds, and rapidly converged towards the center of the topmost branch.

With the support of natural energy, the tender green shoots grew rapidly.

A transparent and crystal-clear fruit, as if being held up by someone, slowly rises from the top of the tree canopy, drawing green energy from the top of the trunk.

The divine tree began to tremble violently, and a burst of intense light instantly erupted, illuminating the entire lush forest.

The elves covered their eyes, but through the gaps between their fingers they saw powerful energy ripple outwards, and new shoots began to grow around them again.

This is a vibrant energy fluctuation, and this light is like hope.

I don't know how many years have passed.

Since Kokot left, they had never seen the sacred tree emit such dazzling light again.

Finally, the green fruit at the top gathered enough energy and slowly cracked open.

Intense spots of light, accompanied by a familiar aura falling from the sky like a clear spring, instantly spread throughout the entire elven population.

Vinya was shocked, but quickly her expression turned to surprise.

Under the watchful eyes of all the elves,

The first Pokémon was born.

The branches at the top of the divine tree began to open and close, and an elf emerged from the dense canopy.

Its entire body was covered by emerald green leaves, revealing large expanses of white skin like lotus roots.

Her pink cherry-like lips opened and closed, her breathing steady and even.

And those iconic pointed ears...

This was an event that seemed like a miracle to the elves.

The elves were stunned. Countless curious and doubtful eyes looked up and down at the newborn elf, their gazes filled with affection.

Even Vinya couldn't control her expression, her mouth agape.

Because of this elf, strictly speaking...

She gave birth to him!?

Oh no, I'm a queen now?!

Kokot was extremely satisfied with the scene before him and nodded vigorously.

Now, she doesn't have to continue being the Elf Queen, right?

Vinya carefully stepped forward and tentatively stood in front of the newborn elf.

She could sense that the natural energy emanating from this elf was of the same origin as her own.

Because the spirit before them was born from the natural energy they offered.

Vinya's body trembled slightly as she shakily reached out her hand:

"Child, what...what's your last name?"

According to the procedure, the newborn elves will be given a surname by the divine tree.

After learning her surname, the high priest will give her a name and assign her a profession corresponding to her surname.

Although Vinya hadn't done this in a long time—since Kokot left.

In the decades after Kokot left, not a single new Pokémon appeared.

And she is the first new elf born in these decades.
