Chapter 6
: Fatty's Escape!
"The female lead in Black and White II... This world is getting more and more bizarre, but whatever."
Xia Ming was an optimist. Although he felt a little confused after watching Mingyi leave, he didn't care too much. After all, he had already experienced enough bizarre things since he transmigrated to this magical Pokémon world.
For example, Hyperdimension Dwind, the company that created Hyperdimension Nexon, actually possessed the overpowered item "Gene Pact," which made the Elite Four level Pokémon battles a battle of gods.
What surprised him even more was that his grandfather was a farmer in a town called Stardew Valley, and he had even been held by Pierre, who had just gotten married, when he was a child.
Besides these, the world he lived in was completely occupied by the "Unova region," and all the familiar cities had become regions. The only thing that hadn't disappeared was the variety of Pokémon from Generations 1 to 9.
This is completely unheard of in other regions as well.
"Let's go to Larvitar and replenish our energy. If there are no other lucky ones by noon today, we'll just leave, or we can defeat one more trainer and then go."
Xia Ming took an unprocessed banana from his spatial backpack and handed it to Young Giras, making the above arrangements.
The strategy of blocking the evacuation point is based on the premise that the player has at least a significant advantage; otherwise, the best option after acquiring good items is to simply stop.
If you don't intentionally level up your Pokémon, by this point in a day and a half, most people's Pokémon should be around level 22 on a temporary basis. Even with a four-fold super weakness, Larvitar, which is now level 28, is not invincible against it.
But if this time is exceeded, there is a risk of something going wrong. Xia Ming, who is already full of food, does not intend to overeat.
"Yoji~"
Two large hands picked up the banana that Xia Ming handed over, and Young Gilas showed a happy smile. Then he sat down on the spot, opened his mouth, and took a bite.
Although unprocessed bananas don't taste as good as banana chips, this rare delicacy is a top-notch enjoyment after a thrilling battle. Young Gilas devoured the entire banana like Pigsy eating a ginseng fruit.
"Yoji~"
Standing up and patting its belly, Young Gilas raised its head to look at Xia Ming, its eyes clearly saying:
Trainer, I didn't taste anything right away, could you have a few more?
"Of course, no problem. You're a great contributor, Younggilas. But there are only these two fruits left. The fruits that Mingyi collected are all spicy, so you might not like them."
After this period of observation, it was found that the young Gilas prefers sweet tastes and dislikes astringent tastes. Its tolerance for spicy, sour, and bitter tastes is so-so.
During this time, he had eaten almost all the tree fruits and snacks that Xia Ming had collected when he came, leaving only one peach and one wild apple.
Unlike the berries in the game that have various special bonuses, in reality only a few berries can trigger special effects when a Pokémon holds them. Most of them are actually meant to be eaten, and different berries have different flavors.
"Yukichi Yukichi~"
Waving his little hand, Young Gilas indicated that it was no problem at all; as long as it wasn't astringent fruit, he could eat as much as he wanted!
"Okay, but eating too much at once is too much. You should clean up the signs of battle first, and then we can hide in the bushes and eat slowly."
"Young Yoshi!"
Before long, under Xia Ming's command, Young Gilas restored the scene to almost complete, leaving only a few details to indicate that a battle had taken place there.
After the cleanup was completed, Xia Ming and Young Gilas squatted back down at their workstations, waiting for their destined owner to arrive.
…………
"Young Gilas, the final crush!"
puff~
With the final bite that severely damaged the psychic-type Yagira, the second victim appeared, unwillingly handing over the spoils he had painstakingly collected for most of the day.
"Waaaaah, how could there be such a wicked person!"
The boy in shorts held the injured Yongira, watching with a sorrowful expression as Xia Ming ransacked his spatial backpack.
This is his first time undertaking a transdimensional mission, so why does he have to go through something so incredibly damaging to his young mind?!
"Alright, quite a haul, quite a haul indeed. Let's go, Young Gilas, it's time for us to retreat."
After looting the valuables from the backpack of the victim, a boy in shorts, Xia Ming led Young Gilas and walked towards the wooden bridge without looking back.
Because it was a battle against an elemental advantage, Larvitar, who wasn't seriously injured, hopped and skipped along behind Xia Ming.
The two of them walked out of the evacuation hole with a backpack full of things.
Operation Hyperdimensional has concluded; results are being verified.
Treasure: Blank gravel (approximately 16.37 cubic meters)
Rare: Several Evolution Stone Fragments, 2 Defense Enhancers, 1 Pearl, 1 Black Cone Tree Seed
Common: Several tree fruits and several cones.
In a pale white space, Xia Ming looked at the inventory on the screen in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.
Although the data on these things will be known to the Hyperdimension Devon Corporation immediately, what can you do when the Hyperdimension world was created by them?
I believe it won't be long before someone from Super Dimension Devon Corporation comes to talk to me about acquiring Blank Stone. I'll have to figure out how to use this money carefully then.
But now...
"He's out! He's out! It's Xia Ming! I wonder how much Old Xia gained this time. Look, his starter Pokémon is Larvitar!"
About a minute later, Xia Ming was automatically expelled from the eggshell-colored space and returned to an empty classroom. At the same time, the special bracelet on his left wrist, which was used to enter the superdimensional space, also became dull and lifeless.
If you want to get rich overnight again next time, you'll have to spend a lot of Alliance Coins to buy "Genesis Crystals" from the Hyperdimensional Devon Corporation.
"Old Xia, you actually chose a Pokémon that's a late bloomer? What were you thinking?"
A familiar male voice came from beside him. Xia Ming turned around and saw that it was his class monitor in the Pokémon Academy.
I didn't expect him to come back so quickly.
He looked around and found that not only the class monitor, but about half of the class of thirty-odd people had returned to reality, with their cute or cool starter Pokémon accompanying their trainers, or playing around in twos and threes.
"What else can I think? You know I'm going back home to inherit my grandfather's farm after graduation. If I don't want to fight in gyms, I can do whatever I like."
"Then why don't you choose Ralts?"
"Pfft~ Don't make your brother Ming laugh. If you end up with a male Ralts, you'll look terrible. It's better to ask someone to buy a female Ralts egg."
"That will cost a lot of money, Lao Xia."
The class monitor sighed and shook his head. Which boy wouldn't want a female Gardevoir? Unfortunately, even though it's now possible to choose any starter Pokémon, a female Gardevoir is still incredibly hard to find.
