Chapter 15

: Staying up all night to block the bridge is a virtue!

Grandpa's house wasn't small or big; it had only two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen next to the living room. The interior felt unusually spacious, which was due to the enormous size of the Pangolin.

There was an old television set in the living room, which looked broken. In front of the television set was a long, wide sofa chair, big enough for the grandfather, grandson, and Pangolin to sit together and watch TV. Xia Ming used to watch the news with his grandfather quite often.

Next to the kitchen, where the living room is connected, there is a dining table. It is very clean and looks like it has been cleaned by a sandalwood cleaner.

Fortunately, Lewis seems to come here every year to help maintain the kitchen facilities, so Xia Ming doesn't have to go outside to fetch water or build a makeshift stove to burn firewood just to cook a meal.

"If I remember correctly, Grandpa's pangolin likes spicy food, so let's make two different kinds of food."

Having made up his mind, Xia Ming began to cook.

Besides the "Leek Stir-fried Slowpoke Tail" which any Pokémon would find delicious, I only made a spicy berry stew and a sweet berry sauce rice ball, as well as small desserts of hard rocks that Rock-type Pokémon could eat, along with matching sweet and spicy dipping sauces.

He himself prepared a sweet and savory fruit salad.

Xia Ming didn't know about other Pokémon worlds, but in their world, most people ate mostly vegetarian food, and meat was actually very rare.

However, there's no need to worry about nutritional imbalances, as the trace elements contained within the fruit are sufficient to compensate for all of this.

"Time to eat!"

After preparing the meal and placing it on the dining table in the living room of the small house, Xia Ming went out and yelled without even taking off his old cooking apron.

As I opened the door, the sun was just about to set, its rays shining through the gaps in the mountains onto the farm.

In the distance, on the flat, fertile land, a stream still shimmered with silvery light. Two Pokémon, one big and one small, were teaching and training each other by the stream, while Larvitar struggled to keep several falling rocks swirling above its head.

Upon hearing Xia Ming's call, he was distracted and lost his balance. Several falling rocks were about to hit him on the head.

Fortunately, the Pangolin King next to it had been keeping an eye on its new little apprentice and swept away the falling rocks with a single claw.

"Bang~"

"Yukichi! Yukichi!"

"Debang."

With outstretched hands, Sandslash lifted Young Gilas high above his head and placed him on his head, carrying him step by step across the stream from the farm.

"How's it going, Larvitar? Isn't Sandslash amazing?"

"Young Yoshi!"

Young Gilas, who had been put down by Sandslash King, ran excitedly to Xia Ming's feet, gesturing with his hands:

"Yukichi Yukichi!"

"You'll surpass him someday, keep it up!"

"Young Yoshi!"

Young Gilas nodded, making a small effort. Seeing this, both Xia Ming and the Sand King behind him smiled knowingly.

"Okay, that's great. But people need food to grow stronger, just like Pokémon. Let's go eat first."

"Yoji~"

After receiving Xia Ming's permission, the little guy walked straight past his feet into the living room and followed the scent to the dining table.

To take care of the young Gilas, Xia Ming even found the small table he used to use, which was just big enough for the young Gilas to reach the food on it.

The meal was simple, but Younggilas and Sandslash enjoyed it very much.

As dusk settled, the lingering glow of twilight dissipated completely with the last bite of food swallowed, and the pure white light of the new moon streamed in through the window.

After eating and drinking his fill, Pangolin went back to his grandfather's room to sleep. After his grandfather left, Xia Ming followed his instructions and had the room completely transformed into Pangolin's room, with only the memories of their past being displayed.

Old picture frames, old toys, and even the nearly broken wooden stick that Grandpa used to help Pangolin grind its teeth when it was young.

After cleaning up the dishes, Xia Ming didn't rush to sleep. Instead, he started tidying up the items in his spatial backpack, taking them out and placing them in various places in his room.

He hid the blank pebbles in a metal safe under his bed, which also contained his old pocket money, totaling more than 1.2 million Alliance Coins, equivalent to three or four million RMB in his previous life. This was all the money he had collected over his eight birthdays and anniversaries.

After everything was tidied up, looking at his empty backpack, Xia Ming found himself unable to sleep for a while.

It's not that I'm in a bad mood, it's just a problem with the bed.

It was so old that it creaked when you lay down on it. The quilt had only been aired out briefly by the pangolin, and it was very rough, which was not friendly to him, a nudist who often slept naked from the waist down.

So Xia Ming made a bold decision.

He took out the Hyperdimensional Action Wristband that the academy had distributed free of charge, then took out a Creation Crystal and embedded it into the groove on his wrist. Finally, he said to Young Gilas:

"Ragnaros, I know you're not sleepy either, right? How about this, we go and offer some trials to other trainers?"

Without Lewis's sponsorship, his next entry into the Hyperdimensional Operation might have to wait until this winter after he went to Central City to purchase a batch of Genesis Crystals. But for now, hehe~

"Yukichi?"

Young Gilas opened its eyes wide and looked at Xia Ming. "I'm not sleepy at all?"

However, since it's the trainer's request...

"Yoji~"

"I knew you'd agree! Come on, Larjura, let's begin the Second Hyperdimensional Operation!"

huh~

A flash of red light, and Xia Ming put Larvitar into his Poké Ball, then closed his eyes and placed his other hand on his wrist:

"Enter the Hyperdimensional Operation."

[Matching for the Hyperdimension Nether event. This Hyperdimension Nether event is at a normal difficulty level, and you are limited to bringing three starter Pokémon. Your Pokémon's temporary level is being reset.]

In the next instant, Xia Ming's figure disappeared from the room, leaving only a phantom image constructed of golden light spots, maintaining his original form.

He himself entered a pure white space.

Bang!

A flash of red light, and Young Gilas reappeared at Xia Ming's feet.

Regular Hyperdimensional Operations only allow a maximum of three Pokémon to be brought, and these Pokémon must be at least level 30 in reality. Once inside the Hyperdimensional World, they will be reset to level 5.

This seems to be the balancing rule of the hyperdimensional world itself.
