Chapter 17

The Waveguide Messengers

Because his professor suddenly went on a business trip to Xi'an, Wei Xin, an archaeology student, experienced a long-awaited morning without 8 a.m.

However, he has something to do today, so he still plans to get up early.

Wei Xin felt something shrink into the blanket, wriggle around inside, and then crawl into his clothes.

Wei Xin opened his eyes and saw a small blue head resting on his chest.

Noticing that its trainer had woken up, Ralts scurried up to Wei Xin, pressed its two little hands against Wei Xin's face, raised its neck, smiled slightly at its trainer, and uttered a cheerful voice.

"Ralu~"

Good morning, trainer.

It's a skill of acting cute, it must be a skill of acting cute!

Looking at the energetic Ralts, Awei's mind went blank. He closed his eyes, crossed his arms over his chest, and his face was filled with peace. He was probably really dead.

"Laru~" Wei Xin replied.

They've all become so cute that they're like repeating a broken record.

Hearing the noise, Li Wei, who was lying on the upper bunk above Wei Xin, couldn't fall asleep no matter what he did. He tossed and turned, and in the end, he could only sigh with envy.

Last night at dinner, he and Yue Hai watched as Wei Xin carefully peeled the crispy skin off the KFC fried chicken wings for Ralts, feeding the tender meat inside to Ralts. He also bought a pomelo on the way, and when they got back, he carefully peeled out the pulp with a toothpick and fed it to Ralts.

[Damn, what's the difference between this and negotiating?]

Of course there's a difference. You can talk about it and then separate, but Ralts and I, unless one of us dies, will never be separated in this lifetime.

To prevent Li Wei from getting violent and hurting people because he couldn't get the pomelo and complained that it was sour, Wei Xin turned off the alarm clock, which hadn't gone off yet since he got up early. He got up quietly, washed up and changed his clothes, and then carefully dressed Ralts. To put it simply, he smoothed down the hair that had sticked up on Ralts' head since it got into bed.

Meanwhile, Wei Xin was also considering whether to buy Ralts some small clothes and accessories.

According to the medical examination report, Ralts is a girl. Since she has lost the possibility of evolving into Gallade, she naturally needs to make up for it in other ways.

My daughter definitely needs to be raised in luxury, otherwise what if she gets tricked away by some young punk with spicy hot pot later?

Carrying Ralts' lunch and student ID, Wei Xin carried Ralts out of the dormitory, clutching a black card with a gold electronic chip attached to it.

It was a blank key card. In order to provide an environment for students in the Battle Department to raise Pokémon, Shanghai University built a new dormitory on the North Campus.

After all, a four-person dormitory is too small for trainers and is prone to accidents, not to mention what if some special circumstances arise.

For example, my roommates caught Seviper and Zango Claw, Mimikyu and Pikachu, Poliwrath and Corsola, Kyogre and Groudon, Dialga and Palkia, and Nightmare and Majuscot.

The scene was unimaginable.

In order to promote competition among students, the school also divides dormitories into different levels, ranging from single dormitories costing 500 yuan per month to luxury villas with courtyards costing 20,000 yuan per month.

The key card in Wei Xin's hand is the top-tier dormitory key card, an extra reward from the school for being the top student in the entire school. It is valid for one semester. After one semester, the validity period can be extended either through various school activities or competitions, or by paying a fee to renew it.

It's impossible for me to spend money; I'll never spend money in my entire life.

"Beep, student card." Wei Xin led Ralts into a taxi on campus.

As soon as the results came out yesterday, the list of the top ten in the whole school was posted on the confession wall. As the number one in the whole school with a heterochromatic Ralts, Wei Xin felt all kinds of gazes as soon as he went out.

"Look, look, that's the number one in the whole school, and his shiny Ralts is so cute."

"Ahhh, baby, you are a fragrant, soft, sweet, and sticky blueberry mango cream cake."

I think this Guangkuo guy still has a lot of charm.

Hey, male student from Chengdu, please calm down.

I now declare that from now on there will only be different kinds of gazes, because lust is not allowed.

Of course, there were occasional discordant voices from the crowd.

[Ha, so what if he's number one in the whole school? He's just a poor loser. Ralts is a complete waste of talent to end up in his hands.]

If I divorce him, do you think the court will award Lalts to me?

"My god, a Celestial Emperor's cultivation level, divorce and split the money in half! You woman below, let me explain you..." Wei Xin was about to mentally curse someone's family tree when he looked down at Ralts in his arms.

Ralts turned its head, put its little hands to its mouth, tilted its head, and looked at its trainer with curious and clear eyes.

"Ralu~"

If you have children, stop swearing.

To prevent the pure little Ralts from being contaminated, Wei Xin closed his eyes and silently recited the mental meditation method provided by the system, controlling his emotions.

Hey girl, thank Ralts, she saved your mother.

At the same time, Wei Xin also made up his mind to be 12% vigilant when encountering strangers... and the same goes for acquaintances.

Women are scary, unlike Ralts...

With the help of meditation, Wei Xin felt the surrounding noise gradually subside. After a short while, he opened his eyes and felt refreshed. His mind also seemed to become more agile, and he also experienced an indescribable feeling.

"Perhaps it's just psychological."

With nothing to do, Wei Xin opened his phone and browsed the news with Ralts.

[Xi'an has recently experienced several small earthquakes. Based on the investigation results, experts speculate that the cause may be changes within the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum. Netizens speculate that this may indicate Qin Shi Huang is about to be resurrected.]

[Pokémon Hunter J remains missing. Shanghai police are warning the public that he is extremely dangerous. If spotted, please contact the police immediately and do not make contact.]

[The top internet celebrity from the Padia region, Qi Shu, arrived at Wudang Mountain yesterday to visit Chen Shixing, the Psychic-type Gym Leader of the Donghuang Alliance, attracting widespread attention online.]

Hmm, Qi Shu has come to Donghuang? Could it be that he's here to challenge the dojo? Wei Xin clicked on the news link, somewhat curious about how many Qi Shu the Donghuang dojo master could possibly withstand.

As the video begins to play, the first thing that catches the eye is the energetic Kiju, sporting a red and blue Magnemite atop its head and a ring of shark teeth around its mouth, peeking out from the lower left corner of the screen.

Good morning, noon, and evening, everyone! Who's here to talk about Qishu? I'm Qishu.

Hmm, that's right.

What follows is the entire process of Qishu challenging the Donghuang Dojo.

Just like in the game, some dojos don't start the challenge right away; you have to go through a specific procedure. The challenge process for the Wudang Mountain Superpower Dojo is to first train with a disciple.

In the video, as soon as Qishu stepped into the gate of Wudang Mountain, he saw a group of people dressed in Taoist robes, leading Pokémon of various types in morning exercises.

"Wow, so this is the kung fu of the Eastern Empire Alliance? It's super interesting, isn't it? Qi Shu can't wait to become a kung fu master." Qi Shu waved his long sleeves and said energetically.

Many viewers in the live chat also praised Donghuang's traditional kung fu, saying it broadened their horizons.

Of course, when everyone is having a pleasant discussion about shared ideas, there are always some people who like to voice discord.

"This is just kung fu, all show and no substance."

"Last time I was at the gym, I saw a martial arts master from Donghuang get knocked to the ground by a blonde girl. It was hilarious."

Until they saw the strange tree behind them in the video.

After finishing their routine, the Taoist priests in the dojo stopped, closed their eyes, and the Pokémon beside them imitated their trainers by placing their hands in front of their chests.

The Taoist priests said in unison, "Waveguide, stay with me."

"Oh no, really?" Wei Xin, watching from outside the screen, stared wide-eyed.

Blue orbs of light appeared in their palms.

It wasn't just one person, but a group of people. Apart from Qishu, everyone present used a supernatural power called Aura. Then, everyone raised their hands, palms facing the sky, and countless Aura missiles rose up and exploded in the sky like fireworks.

Along with the missile, the comments section of the video also exploded.
