Chapter 24

Inside dormitory 280, thin curtains blocked the glare of the afternoon sun, allowing warmth to rise and fall in the dormitory's living room. Ralts lay on the dormitory sofa, her head resting on a small bag that smelled of her trainer, and had a sweet dream that no one knew about.

The warmth of winter always seems to slip away quietly, leaving people and Pokémon with a little gift called a cold.

To prevent Ralts from catching a cold, Wei Xin took a small blanket and gently covered Ralts's belly. He then casually took a picture of Ralts's adorable sleeping face and hid it in a secret photo album.

Quietly walking to the dining table in the living room, Wei Xin turned on his computer and began searching online for news about the Pokémon entertainment industry, including novels, movies, and comics.

About half an hour later, he realized one thing: there was almost no information about legendary Pokémon online; the only bits and pieces available were just legends passed down orally in various regions.

"That's true. Even if there is information about mythical beasts, the official authorities wouldn't put it openly online."

Moreover, due to the different world background, many of the stories in Wei Xin's memory do not exist in this world.

So he opened the document and decided to begin his long-planned (but not really) plagiarism spree.

First, there's the book title, which was his initial choice: "The Protoss".

With the information provided by the system, he only needs to make minor modifications. Otherwise, given his skill level, if he wanted to make money through entertainment, he could only write some borderline literature.

For example, "Pure-Hearted Sakaki is Hot," "The Cold and Aloof Akagi Falls in Love with Me," "The Domineering Old Man's Forced Love," and "Nature Remains the Same, Because I Raised It."

It's chilling to even think about.

Secondly, the novel's world-building is set as a pure Pokémon world, which is also a major trend in the current Pokémon entertainment market.

Then there's the protagonist, Eevee, who is portrayed as a helpless child who lives under the roof of his uncle and aunt and suffers abuse from them. Because he can't evolve, he is discriminated against at school.

Just as he was about to be forced to leave school, he received a mysterious invitation that opened a door to another side of the world, where he came into contact with a group of Pokémon with divine blood.

From then on, Ibu and his companions went through one thrilling adventure after another, until finally, they reversed the ending known as the end of the world.

Wei Xin plans to write the first chapter of the novel first, but he does not intend to serialize it as an online novel because the story's pace is too slow and there is too much foreshadowing. If it were published as an online novel, it would definitely be a complete flop.

So he planned to submit the first chapter directly to a magazine in Shanghai and try to get it serialized.

As for the characters that appear later, they will also need to be localized.

"A fire-breathing dragon that seems cold but is actually a gossip."

"The Rich Young Master, Noiwa Ryu".

"Gardedor, the beautiful upperclassman who can communicate telepathically."

"Lucario, the loser senior who lost his lover."

"And the amnesiac Caterpie, whose true identity is Rayquaza, the King of the Sky and Wind, who has also lost his memory."

As for the relics in the story, they were compiled based on the information in the Rayquaza Chronicles provided by the system, striving to be as close to reality as possible.

The sound of typing came from the dormitory. At some point, Ralts woke up from her sleep, rubbed her eyes, and found her trainer sitting meticulously in front of the computer.

"Ralts?" Ralts tilted its head, raised its hand in confusion, and touched its head.

She didn't disturb the trainer's work. Through telepathy, she knew the trainer was doing something important. She sat obediently on the sofa, quietly gazing at the trainer's back.

After a long while, she suddenly felt thirsty, so she quietly climbed off the sofa, walked to the refrigerator, manipulated her telekinesis to open the refrigerator, took out a bottle of milk, and then took down her and her trainer's cups from the wall, one red and one blue, and carefully poured the milk into the cups.

Ralts took the glass, gently licked the milk inside, and noticed it was cold.

She remembered her trainer saying that drinking cold drinks was bad for her health.

It needs to be heated before drinking.

But how do I heat it up? Ralts sat on the floor, arms crossed, staring at the milk in the glass, deep in thought.

She suddenly remembered the battle she had watched with her trainer before.

That Marowak seems to be able to set itself on fire, and Gengar also has the ability to manipulate fire.

Can I do it?

She placed her hands on the glass, trying to summon flames like Gengar.

But she failed. Clearly, she didn't possess the ability to start a fire out of thin air.

What if she set her body on fire? Because her hands were touching the chilled milk, she felt a little cold. Subconsciously, Ralts rubbed her hands together and felt the temperature of her palms rise.

The temperature of her palms has increased? Ralts spread her hands, pondered for a moment, and then had an idea.

She put her hands together and then rubbed them together quickly. Through her own thinking, Ralts understood that friction generates heat.

As the temperature of her palm continued to rise, reaching its limit, Ralts discovered that no matter how hard she tried, the temperature could not rise any further.

It's not enough; something's missing.

What exactly is missing?

Ralts was puzzled. Perhaps her trainer could think of a solution. She turned her head and looked at her trainer.

I'm completely absorbed in my work on the laptop, I'm totally engrossed, I'm totally absorbed.

The trainer is busy, so let's not disturb him.

After thinking for a moment, Ralts decided to change her approach and start from the most basic things, trying things out with what she already had.

She held her hand to the glass, and the horn on her head emitted a faint glow, causing the glass to float.

This ability is called a skill by trainers.

But what if I want to use other skills?

Ralts closed her eyes and activated her Nen again. This time, she quietly sensed the changes in her body and then found the substance called energy that flowed through her body when she activated the skill.

If this substance is used elsewhere, will it unlock other abilities?

Ralts exhaled a breath of stale air, attempting to mobilize the energy within her body.

After continuous adjustments, Ralts successfully manipulated the energy within her body, allowing a continuous flow of energy to gather in her hands.

This is it!

Ralts clasped her hands together, opened her eyes, and as if flint and steel had struck, a tiny spark flashed across her hands the instant they crossed.

Ralts was startled at first and shrank back, but then she was overjoyed, feeling that she had touched the threshold of the skill.

Not long after, Wei Xin, who was sitting at the table, suddenly felt something tugging at his trouser leg. He looked down and saw Ralts holding two glasses filled with milk. She stood on tiptoe and handed one of the glasses to him.

"Are you hungry?" Without thinking much, Wei Xin took the glass from Ralts's hand, only to find that the milk inside was hot, with black carbon-like substances floating on the surface, as if it had been roasted over a fire.

"You heated the milk yourself?" Wei Xin asked, looking down as he remembered that the hot water in the house was all used up. "How did you manage that?"

Upon hearing this, Ralts put down the half-finished milk on the ground, then rubbed her hands together repeatedly. With a bang, orange flames ignited on her palms.
