my pokemon player.

"So... Dream Demon was just playing a prank?" Xu Ruofeng asked in surprise.

"Kami~" (/ω＼)
The dream demon covered its little face with its wing-like fur; it was as touched as it was embarrassed.

Chen Yan nodded slightly: "Didn't you say that the Dream Demon has been behaving well these past few days and hasn't scared you much?"

"You were worried that it had been hurt, but it turns out it was planning something big, trying to get back at the haunted house."

Xu Ruofeng suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! I was wondering how the Dream Demon could have forgotten me!"

He lowered his head, looking at the dream demon in his arms, who was shyly burrowing into his clothes, and said in a drawn-out voice:
"Dream Demon, you"

The dream demon thought Xu Ruofeng was going to scold it, so it buried its head even deeper.

"You're amazing! You even fooled Yanzi!"

"Kakami?" (Right?)

The dream demon moved its fur away in surprise, staring blankly up at Xu Ruofeng's eyes.

There was not a trace of blame in it, only pure pride and praise.

Xu Ruofeng looked at the surprised expression on Meng Yao's face and couldn't help but laugh out loud. He affectionately stroked its fur with his fingertips.

"Not bad, the feel is still as smooth as ever. It's just a pity that you have a few more spikes on your head. I can't touch your head whenever I want anymore."

Meng Yao closed her eyes contentedly, not out of shame or embarrassment, but to enjoy Xu Ruofeng's caresses.

While stroking the Dream Demon's fur, Xu Ruofeng proudly boasted to Chen Yan:
"Yanzi, look how clever my Mengyao is! With just a little trick, she can completely outsmart you!"

"When did I..." Chen Yan was about to retort, but swallowed the words back.

He waved his hand, revealing an expression of not bothering to argue: "Fine, considering the dream demon successfully transformed, say whatever you want."

"However," Chen Yan looked up at Xu Ruofeng and asked softly, "I'm very curious about something, when did you become so bold?"

"When the Dream Demon first unleashed its primal ferocity, all the other players retreated, but you were the only one who stretched out your arms. Weren't you afraid?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ruofeng looked at Chen Yan with surprise, seemingly not understanding why Chen Yan would ask such a simple question.

But he answered truthfully, "Because the Dream Demon is my partner, I believe it won't hurt me."

After saying that, he asked Chen Yan in return, "If your Pokémon charged at you aggressively, would you think it was going to attack you?"

Chen Yan answered instinctively, "Of course not!"

"That settles it! Your question is so tactless, no wonder my dream monster could play you for a fool!"

Looking at the smug smile on Xu Ruofeng's face, Chen Yan's lips also curled up slightly:
"Yes, I've learned another lesson from you and the Dream Demon."

"Looks like you've gotten old, even your brain has deteriorated. It's time to relinquish your throne as the number one player!"

Xu Ruofeng reached up and brushed his bangs away from his forehead, then lifted his chin and said:
"From this day forward, I will stand at the top!"

"."

"."

"."

"Ahem, why aren't you saying anything? You're making me feel a little awkward," Xu Ruofeng said with an awkward laugh.

Chen Yan rolled her eyes at him: "Idiot—"

Xu Ruofeng: "???"

Xu Ruofeng: "Don't think that just because you've muted yourself, I can't tell you're cursing at me!"

At this moment, Lao Ye and the others also came over, their eyes shining as they looked at the dream demon in Xu Ruofeng's arms.

"So this is Paradox Pokémon? It's truly extraordinary. Even we were frightened by its ferocious aura just now," Old Ye remarked.

The multigrain rice crust curled its lip and gritted its teeth, saying, "No way, how come you, an African native, can successfully transform in one go!"

"And Misdreavus looks so cool when it transforms into Paradox Pokémon! You really deserve to die!"

Bell crossed her arms and said, "Is it cool? I think it's just average, nowhere near as good as my Pokémon, but congratulations anyway."

"Well done! I knew you guys could do it!" Mushroom Bro's voice was still loud and clear.

Looking at the bushy-haired dream demon, Xi Yue blushed and murmured softly:

"So cute, I want to touch it!"

However, due to Mushroom Bro's voice being drowned out, only she could hear what she said; the other players couldn't hear it.

"Speaking of which, isn't Misdreavus a completely new Pokémon now?" Old Ye asked, stroking his chin.

Chen Yan nodded: "Yes, Lord Ryan once said that although Paradox Pokémon and the transformed existing Pokémon have similarities, they are completely different species."

Old Ye continued, "Then we can't call it Dream Demon anymore; we should give this paradoxical Pokémon a new name."

“Yeah, it’s not appropriate to keep calling it Dream Demon. Let’s give it a new name,” Mixed Grain Rice Crust chimed in.

Xu Ruofeng nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, let me think about what name to choose."

Chen Yan frowned, recalling those strange guild names in his mind, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Wait a minute, aren't you guys overestimating your naming skills?"

Before he could finish speaking, the multigrain rice crust clapped its hands and said:
"I've got a name in mind. Look at its bristling fur and menacing appearance, how about we call it the Bristling Fur Monster!"

Chen Yan: "."

Xu Ruofeng: "You son of a bitch!"

"Kami!"

Before Xu Ruofeng could finish his rant, Meng Yao got angry and tried to break free from his embrace to slap the mixed grain rice crust twice.

Seeing this, Xu Ruofeng quickly comforted him gently, "Garlic Bird, Garlic Bird, let's not stoop to his level. Let's hear the name I've given you first."

Upon hearing this, the dream demon trembled. Based on its understanding of Xu Ruofeng, it was unlikely that this guy could come up with any good names.

However, based on Xu Ruofeng's performance just now, Meng Yao was still willing to believe him one more time, her eyes filled with expectation.

"Since you're a dream monster from an ancient timeline, how about we call you Ancient Dream Monster? Or Ancient Great Dream Monster, since you're bigger than most dream monsters!"

Dream Demon: "."

It knew it shouldn't have placed any hope on Xu Ruofeng's naming abilities!

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you so happy you can't speak?" Xu Ruofeng said, completely lacking in tact.

"Kami!"

The dream demon sneered, then bit Xu Ruofeng's hair and forcefully shook and tore at it.

Xu Ruofeng quickly begged for mercy: "Hey! Don't bite my hair! I was wrong, okay? I'll give you a different name!" Upon hearing this, Meng Yao paused, wanting to give Xu Ruofeng another chance.

"Let me think. After you transformed into a Paradoxical Pokémon, the hair on your head became much thicker, so I'll call you Longhaired Misdreavus."

Before she could finish speaking, the dream demon started tearing at Xu Ruofeng's hair again. It would never give Xu Ruofeng another chance to name himself!
Chen Yan looked at the dream demon and Xu Ruofeng, who were playfully fighting, shook his head helplessly, and then said to Lao Ye and the others:

"Although I have no hope for your naming abilities, I would still like to ask, have you thought of any suitable names?"

Old Ye said with a wry smile, "Forget it, our naming skills aren't that great to begin with, let's not add to the Dream Demon's troubles."

Mixed Grain Rice Crust spread his hands: "Then what can we do? We can't exactly ask other players for name suggestions, can we? They're all funny people, and the names they come up with might be even more bizarre."

Chen Yan pondered for a moment and said, "If all else fails, we can only ask Lord Ryan for his opinion. He is the protagonist of the game and also represents the thoughts of the game's official team."

Mushroom Bro agreed, "That's a good idea. The Dream Demon still respects Lord Ryan. Even if the name doesn't suit its taste, it won't get angry."

"Kami?!" (Random thoughts? What random thoughts?!)
The dream demon was now particularly sensitive to the words "frizzy" and immediately opened its mouth, glaring fiercely at them before focusing its attention on the mixed grain rice crust.

Upon seeing this, the multigrain rice crust quickly denied it: "It wasn't me, I didn't say that, don't look at me!"

Just as Chen Yan was about to step forward to smooth things over, a voice suddenly rang out: "Shake your wings!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the little skeleton standing in front of the control panel, raising his hand and stammering out a name.

"Really what?"

Xu Ruofeng covered his head and asked, because he hadn't heard what the little skeleton said.

"Wings flap! Wings flap!" the little skeleton repeated.

"What do you mean by 'according to law'?"

"Zhenzhen. Zhenyifa!"

"Wings flapping what?"

"Wingsweet! Wingsweet! Are you deaf?"

Chen Yan glared at Xu Ruofeng and said irritably:

"How many times have I told you, don't bully the little skeleton!"

Xu Ruofeng shrank back and immediately apologized to the little skeleton:

"Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly the first time. I was just kidding you after that."

The little skeleton shook its head: "It's alright!"

He actually really liked this way of getting along; there was no discrimination or pity, but rather he was treated like a normal person, with each other joking and playing around.

This is also why he agreed to join the Pioneers' Court; the players in the guild never treated him as a flawed person, and sometimes they didn't even treat him as a human being.

The thought of how they made him hold stones in his mouth, stuffed ginger into his mouth, and even tried to put fireworks in his mouth to help him cure his stuttering...

However, the man was stopped by the taciturn master before he could light the fire. The master berated him severely, saying that it was a folk remedy for tooth extraction and could not be used to treat stuttering. He also told the man to watch fewer episodes of "Tom and Jerry".

Although they seemed to be bullying him, the little skeleton knew in his heart that they just wanted to use the advantages of not being able to die and the pain reduction in the game to cure his stutter, but unfortunately, it didn't work very well.

He had already experienced real bullying and discrimination in the real world, so even if the taciturn god didn't explain to him apologetically, he could still tell who was good and who was bad.

Whether it's the group owner, the taciturn master, or other players in the guild, they are all very nice people. It's so great that I can be friends with them!
Little Skull felt that the best decision he ever made was clicking the pre-registration link for this game, which led him to meet so many good friends and the best Pokémon.

He would play this game for the rest of his life if he could!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the little skeleton's lips.

Seeing this, the rice crust from the mixed grains quickly reached out and nudged Xu Ruofeng, whispering a reprimand:

"Look what you've done to this child! He's started grinning like an idiot!"

Xu Ruofeng said with a wronged expression, "But I didn't do anything!"

"I don't care, just apologize to him again!" the mixed grain rice crust urged.

"Oh." Knowing he was in the wrong, Xu Ruofeng apologized to the little skeleton again: "Little skeleton, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have joked around like that."

Upon hearing this, the little skeleton hurriedly waved its hands: "Really."

“You don’t need to repeat that name anymore. I heard it clearly, Zhenyifa,” Xu Ruofeng replied.

The little skeleton actually wanted to say "It's really okay," but whenever he got anxious, it was even harder for him to speak, and he couldn't get the last two words out.

"Zhenzhen."

Xu Ruofeng waved his hand and said, "Alright, no need to say anymore. To make amends, I can buy you ten saplings!"

"Okay!" the little skeleton replied quickly, without the slightest stutter.

I'm a little embarrassed, but these are ten saplings!
Seeing this, Chen Yan coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention:

"Alright, now that Little Skeleton has forgiven Little Feng, let's get back to the main topic."

"I originally wanted to ask Lord Ryan to name the new druid, but Little Skeleton came up with a very good name."

"Winged Hair, the way the hair vibrates is just like wings, very vivid and descriptive, it sounds good, Dream Fairy, what do you think?"

After a brief moment of thought, the Dream Demon decided that the name "Winged Wing" sounded much better than the previous names "Furry Monster" and "Ancient Dream Demon".

There's a saying that goes: Without comparison, there is no harm!
If the name Zhenyifa had been suggested from the beginning, the Dream Demon might have had some objections, but after hearing several other bizarre names, it couldn't be more satisfied with Zhenyifa.

So the dream demon nodded and softly agreed:
"Kami!" (Okay, I like this name!)
Chen Yan and the others couldn't understand what the Dream Demon was saying, but it was easy to tell from its reaction that the Dream Demon liked the name very much.

"Very good, then the ancient dream demon will be called Zhenyifa from now on!" Chen Yan concluded.

Old Ye, however, was still somewhat worried: "Will the game's official team recognize the name we choose?"

"Probably, isn't this game always about pursuing freedom and realism?" said Mixed Grain Rice Crust.

"How about we ask Lord Ryan for his opinion again?" Old Ye suggested.

"No, no need!" the little skeleton interjected.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ruofeng gave the little skeleton a thumbs up: "Look how domineering the little skeleton is! He says he'll use the Winged Power, and he means it! Even if Lord Ryan comes, he can't change it!"

Upon hearing this, the little skeleton's eyes widened, and it shook its head faster than a rattle drum: "This name is no, no!"

Xu Ruofeng said casually, "I know what you're trying to say. This name really can't be changed. Zhenyi Fa sounds so much better."

"Don't worry, that's the name of my Misdreavus. It'll be written like that in the Pokédex, and it'll even say that you gave it that name!"

Hearing this, the little skeleton became even more anxious, his face turning red, and he said with all his might:

"This name...no...I didn't come up with it!"

"What?" (End of Chapter)
