Chapter 51

Onion Head Pokémon

Ralts stared intently at the spinning fan blades, even having the urge to touch them, as if she had grasped something.

"It seems the little guy will soon master the trick of shadow clones." Wei Xin smiled, just then his senior sister pushed the door open and came in.

"Lillie will be here soon. The professor wants us to go to the conference room to help out." As she spoke, she saw Ralts trying to touch the fan and reminded her, "Little Ralts, that fan is handmade. The circuit is unstable and it seems to be leaking electricity."

Although the research center's power supply has comprehensive protection measures, there is no need to worry about electric shock.

"Ralts~" Upon hearing this, Ralts suppressed her curiosity and quietly withdrew her hand.

"You can rest here for a while. You can practice Shadow Clone Technique later." Wei Xin patted Ralts' head and got up to leave the office.

Ralts, who remained in the room, watched the spinning fan blades and finally couldn't suppress her curiosity, reaching out her hand towards the electric fan.

With a sizzle, Ralts's hair stood on end like a hedgehog, and her body felt tingly and numb, which was quite comfortable.

When the current disappeared, Ralts' hair slowly floated down. Ralts looked at her palm, recalling the feeling she had just experienced.

I can't remember, let me try again, so I reached out to the fan again.

Ralts learns the skill "Charge Beam" and receives a reward of 1600 Action Points.

What? Wasn't that a shadow clone? How did it turn into a charging beam? What's the little guy doing?

Sitting in his office, piled high with books, Wei Xin closed his eyes and sensed Ralts' emotions. Whether it was due to Ralts' increased strength or the results of his meditation, Wei Xin could now sense Ralts' state and emotions even from a distance.

The surprise comes from mastering a new skill.

The shock came from discovering that he had broken the electric fan.

Panic ensued, so he teleported away from the crime scene, still feeling a little guilty.

"What are you laughing at?" Senior Sister heard a noise beside her, turned her head, and saw Wei Xin with his eyes closed and a motherly smile on his face.

"It's nothing, I just thought of something happy," Wei Xin said.

Hiding oneself and preventing discovery by enemies is an instinct ingrained in biological genes, which has evolved into skills called lying and concealment during social evolution.

It's like running away and hiding.

Little Ralts' ability to escape crime scenes and conceal her actions shows that she has learned to protect herself.

This is a good thing.

Yes, but we still need to learn a lesson.

Just as Wei Xin was considering how to punish Little Ralts.

Lillie, dressed in a Maul suit, pushed open the door and entered.

As soon as Lillie entered, she hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry, Professor, my driver caught a cold while winter swimming, and the bus driver wouldn't let me on the bus. I'm not late, am I?"

Wei Xin caught the key phrase "driver winter swimming," and then thought of the driver he had bumped into at the school gate yesterday.

It turns out that he was Lillie's personal driver.

He actually went winter swimming? Wei Xin thought he was just saying it.

He was a real man... It seems he jumped into the river on his master's orders.

Rosamina, look what you've done to the driver!

"You're not late, so please take your seats," the professor said. "Now that everyone is here, let's begin. In front of you is some Pokémon legend data that I got from an old friend. Our task today is to find out the information about the legendary Pokémon Celebi from this."

"A Celebi, a Celebi who can travel through time?" Wei Xin opened a history book and asked in confusion, "Why do we suddenly need to find information about Celebis?"

Could it be that someone traveled through time with the Celebi?

I time-traveled back to my freshman year of college.

In my past life, because the Upper House lost to the Lower House, I fell into Liu Ruyan's trap and handed over my starter Pokémon with top-tier potential.

He thought this would win Liu Ruyan's favor.

Unexpectedly, the first thing this woman did after getting ashore was to slander me, accusing me of having ulterior motives towards her, which led to my expulsion from school.

Losing my starter Pokémon made my journey as a trainer exceptionally difficult.

I thought I would waste my life like this, but unexpectedly, when I was about to die, I met the legendary shrine.

With the help of the shrine's power, I traveled through time and space back to my freshman year of college, when I almost agreed to make a deal with Liu Ruyan.

He was given a second chance at life, drawing on memories and information from his past life.

I am determined to climb to the top step by step and become a champion trainer.

I will not let any of those who have hurt me get away with it!

It shouldn't be such a melodramatic plot, right?

"The fishermen at sea salvaged the Pokémon hunters' spaceship. From the recovered data, the police discovered that they entered Donghuang in order to capture Celebi," the professor explained, opening his book.

"The one who attacked the supermarket warehouse was their leader, Pokémon Hunter J. He is currently missing, perhaps he has started investigating Celebi's whereabouts on his own."

"Celebi is a legendary Pokémon. Historically, anyone who has tried to harm a legendary Pokémon has brought irreparable disaster to the Eastern Empire."

"So, in order to investigate J's whereabouts and to protect legendary Pokémon, the police asked us to find information about Celebi."

"Professors from the history and mythology departments next door are also helping out, and our research institute should also do its part."

"The appearance of the Celebi, the conditions under which it appears, and its abilities are all things we need to find..."

Because of the mysterious habits and special abilities of legendary Pokémon, and the problems they cause every time they appear in the world, very few people have actually seen legendary Pokémon in real life, and even fewer have survived.

Therefore, the study of legendary Pokémon mostly relies on historical documents left by our ancestors, and then tries our best to piece together a few pieces.

To prevent anyone from recklessly searching for, provoking, or even manipulating and exploiting Legendary Pokémon, Donghuang maintains extremely strict control over information on Legendary Pokémon. Ordinary people have no access to it and could never know about it...

Halfway through his sentence, as if remembering something, the professor looked up at Wei Xin with a puzzled expression: "What did you just say Celebis can do? How do you know Celebis can travel through time? In which book did you read about it?"

My dad is in Hawaii... I don't have a dad.

Faced with the professor's three consecutive questions, Wei Xin thought for a moment and chose to tell a lie: "I heard it from a homeless man on the street when I was a child."

"A homeless person?" the professor asked with a "I don't believe you" look. "Tell me about it first."

"He said that rabbis are forest gods with the ability to travel through time and space. When the world faces an irreversible catastrophe, they will use their power to travel through time and space to find an opportunity to save the world."

"Traveling through time to save the world? That sounds like a fairy tale."

Upon hearing this, Lillie took off her glasses, her eyes gleaming with interest as she stared intently at Wei Xin's face, her expression full of anticipation.

If you had a chance to go back in time, what would you choose to do?

"It is said that the place where ghati appears..." Wei Xin paused for a moment.

If I were to reveal all of the rabbis' information here...

Walls have ears. If the news gets out, could it lead to Pokémon hunters discovering Celebi's whereabouts?

"Keep going," said a senior student who had just returned from the hospital, his arm in a cast. "Are you writing web novels, and you're ending the story here?"

I'm writing down five yuan.

"Exactly!" urged a senior student who was using a cane and wearing a neck brace.

Those who cut off chapters will not have a good death.

"Why don't we hurry up and look up the information? I heard the cafeteria staff are planning to make tiramisu today," said Hu, who was slacking off.

"Or we can just turn what my junior said into data and send it out. Anyway, there are history professionals to back us up."

"Let me recall something from many years ago," Wei Xin said, scratching the back of his head as if in difficulty, then slapping his forehead and revealing a look of sudden realization.

"I remember now, the old beggar said that if the forest loses its forest god, large areas will wither."

In the end, Wei Xin decided to keep Celebi's information a secret and tell the professor alone while holding Ralts later.

He needs to find an opportunity to confirm whether the professor is a Pokémon hunter in disguise.

He asserted, "In other words, the appearance of large areas of withered forest should indicate the presence of rabbis."
