Chapter 84
At Queen Carlos's command, ten thousand soldiers…
Oh no, it seems there's a third party involved in our relationship.
Who is she/he?
Wei Xin and Ralts were startled at first, then the ripples spread and they kept making contact with the other side. The other side responded, but not proactively. In simple terms, it was an automatic reply, a human-machine interaction.
It is certain that the other party had no malicious intent.
Although there are many questions, there are no clues at all, so there is no way to solve them.
Perhaps when Ralts and I become stronger in the future, we will be able to sense each other's presence more clearly.
and so……
Wei Xin opened his eyes and commanded, "Ralts, use Return!"
"Ralts!" Ralts raised its hands, feeling power surging forth.
Trainer, and this third party who appeared out of nowhere, lend me your power!
Then, a silver light emanated from Ralts' body, gathering in her fist. She clenched her fist, rotated her fingers, and slammed it against the metal wall in front of her.
Like cling film, Ralts' fist caused the metal wall to deform violently. Unfortunately, Ralts' arm was too short to completely penetrate the metal wall, leaving only a deep groove on it.
Unable to unleash its power and transform it into fist energy, it continuously pounded against the wall, producing booming sounds that attracted the attention of everyone around.
Wow, that's awesome!
As a result, the metal wall could no longer bear the weight, and a dazzling, irregular iron flower suddenly bloomed on the other side of the wall.
"Break...break through?" Senior Sister and Ma Liang shook their heads, their mouths agape and their eyes wide with disbelief.
The main reason why Loppa was able to kick through the metal plate was the attribute boost brought by its level and evolution. However, Ralts and Wei Xin not only mastered Return on their first try, but also unleashed power far exceeding the theoretical data.
Is this reasonable? I teach linear equations in one variable, so why is your thesis titled the Riemann Hypothesis?
Who told you to repay this favor?
"Ralts, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Wei Xin asked. Using the Enhance Return skill and using Psychic to enhance Ralts's skills are two completely different sensations.
"Laru!" Using the Enhanced Gratitude only consumed a little more stamina for her; otherwise, there were no other effects.
Wei Xin was overjoyed. This meant that, theoretically, he could combine his superpower enhancement with his enhanced gratitude enhancement to unleash an even more powerful gratitude skill?
Nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine horsepower, Ralts's Repayment Fist!
Who could resist such a terrifying act of gratitude?
Oh, the opponent used Protect and Substitute, then it's fine.
What if they ran into each other in the finals? The power of Ralts's skills has left a huge psychological scar on Ma Liang and Bogarman.
"Bogarman, let's not learn Repayment anymore, let's go back to learning Stand and Guardian."
My uncle said that we should use mechanisms to counter numerical values.
……
The next few days were very fulfilling for Wei Xin. Apart from class time, he spent his time training with Ralts at the research center.
Ralts's course has also entered a new stage, and she has begun to learn psychic levitation, or rather, psychic flight, from Alakazam.
Unfortunately, Ralts has never been able to master the knack of psychic levitation. Even with the Double Efficiency Card, all Ralts can do is use her psychic powers to enhance her body and jump higher.
Wei Xin couldn't do anything about it, because he couldn't fly either.
When he was young, he criticized those who couldn't fly; when he grew up, he came to understand them; and only now does Wei Xin truly understand.
If you can't fly, you just can't fly.
In the subsequent combat practice class, Teacher Wang asked everyone about their learning progress of the Gratitude skill. Apart from Wei Xin, only one of the circle-eared creatures had successfully mastered Gratitude.
It can only be described as racial talent.
As for the others, since they are all newcomers and beginner Pokémon, they can't even get past the friendship level.
Because the Pokémon hunter was captured and lost her bodyguard status, Marnie found a part-time job as a coach at a battle club. However, since Marnie had never been a gym leader or teacher, her expertise in Pokémon battle practice meant that she could only guide others in a very clumsy way.
For example, you could teach the opponent a lesson by using Pokémon.
Don't run away! Charge at my hairy troll!
As for Pokémon Hunters, Wei Xin only realized he had missed out on Pokémon Hunters again when the professor returned. His senior sister teased him, saying there must be a special connection between him and Pokémon Hunters.
Wei Xin said: "He's so infatuated with love, he really went for it."
Wei Xin had no liking for Pokémon hunters. In this world where humans and Pokémon live together, groups that forcibly steal other people's Pokémon, persecute and capture wild Pokémon, and even cause serious damage to the surrounding environment, were simply terrorists and human traffickers in Wei Xin's eyes.
The alliance has been cracking down on related forces for years.
With Pokémon Hunter J's arrest, an investigation revealed that someone in the Eastern Region did indeed witness the appearance of the Mythical Pokémon Celebi.
However, the reason for its appearance and its location remain a mystery to this day.
Two days ago, Queen Carlos posted a message on her private account, which quickly became a trending topic in various regions.
She said that she had accidentally read a novel these days, and the story was very interesting, and her friends also praised it highly.
Even the Sinnoh champion provided professional commentary in the comments section.
Netizens were very curious about what novel it was that could be praised so highly by both champions, and they all began to search for it. When Karuni revealed the name of the novel, "The Gods," netizens began to search for the novel's name in various regions.
It was eventually discovered that the novel was still in its infancy.
???
Literally speaking, it was only at the very end of the table of contents for the next issue of the magazine published by Shanghai Publishing House, without even a top-tier promotion.
Netizens are even more curious.
A novel from the Eastern Region that hasn't even been officially serialized yet has actually alarmed the Sinnoh Champion and Queen Kalos.
As a result, the publisher's phone has been ringing off the hook these past few days, all from people in different regions, trying to pre-order the next issue of the magazine. The magazine's editor-in-chief is completely dumbfounded.
The number of magazine pre-orders alone exceeded their total sales for the entire previous year, so they quickly called the sales department to stop all activities and immediately reprint the magazine.
"What do you mean by my novel becoming number one on the sales charts before it was even released?"
Upon receiving a call from the publisher, Wei Xin, who had just finished a Pokémon battle at the Bogarman Club, scratched his head in disbelief.
These past few days, he and Ralts have spent their free time training in battles to accumulate practical experience. However, he has hidden his psychic powers and the "Repay" move, intending to use them as his trump card in the main competition.
At school, I kept hearing people discussing the novel "The Protoss," and I thought it was the publisher's promotion that worked. Now you're telling me you didn't know either.
And Queen Carlos and the Sinnoh Champion are my fans?
With a single command from Karuni, a billion fans are tasked with boosting my sales figures?
I don't think I've transmigrated into a Tomato novel.
Oh no, could it be that I was the one who got hit by Ralts's Psychic Beam, not Piplup?
"Ralts, hit me now." After hanging up the phone, Wei Xin said to Ralts, who was resting in his arms.
"Laru?"
Ralts tilted its head in confusion and looked at Wei Xin. Although puzzled, it still reached out and tugged at the hair on its forehead.
Are you trying to pressure me into getting a haircut?
"Ralts!" Ralts shook her head firmly. She thought that her trainer would look very cool with long hair. She didn't know why she had this feeling, as if she had seen it before.
"Then forget it," Wei Xin said. "We'll wait for Mary to get off work, then go back and have a big meal to celebrate."
"Ralu!" Ralulas danced with joy, even though they seemed to have been eating lavish meals for the past few days.
……
"Spare ribs, sweet bamboo concentrate, and maybe I should also buy a Slowpoke tail?"
Donghuang has dedicated Slowpoke breeding farms, so Slowpoke tails are a very common and affordable food source in Donghuang. Moreover, Slowpoke tails are renewable.
Rumor has it that the farm has mastered a method for stably breeding Regenerative Slowpokes.
Furthermore, according to the Pokédex, Slowpoke's tails do not have pain receptors, and the taste of Slowpoke's tails varies depending on the region.
The tails of ordinary Slowpoke have a faint sweet smell that attracts other Pokémon, while the tails of Slowpoke from the Alola region have a spicy smell that repels other Pokémon.
"I'll eat whatever you make," Mary said.
She only needs to focus on eating, while Wei Xin, as the chef, has many other things to consider.
On their way back from grocery shopping, a man walked up to them from a street stall, holding a rope-tied ring in his hand, and spoke to Wei Xin and Mary.
"Dear friends, would you be willing to take the time to learn about our Dream Eater Enthusiasts Association?"
