Chapter 303 Professor Oak: How can there be such a powerful ability as [Crimson Pulse]! (8k views, please vote!)

Therefore, is Leton's strength no less than that of the two Hoenn gods?

This bold conjecture was ruthlessly extinguished by the following scene.

The scene shifts, and Xia Chi, clearly "softened" and much less assertive, returns to the laboratory.

Although the specific details of the battle were not recorded, judging from Ergui Peng's calm and unharmed appearance, and in contrast to Guleton's somewhat dejected state, clearly indicating that he had suffered a great loss, one can easily discern the truth.
The result is self-evident—

This ancient "Winged King" Guleton was brutally beaten by the legendary elf Egui Peng, who was extremely rude in this timeline.

"Well, losing to Egui Peng isn't shameful."

The green hue attempted to salvage the situation for the sake of the prison.

Professor Oak nodded in agreement. "Indeed, judging from the strength that the Evil Phantom has shown in the past, this does not mean that the Guleton is weak. On the contrary, the fact that it was able to briefly contend with the Evil Phantom proves that it possesses great power."

This concludes the editing of the actual footage from the time machine trial phase.

This also means that the highlight of the second half of the video title—

The mystery of the paradoxical Pokémon is about to be officially revealed!

As she watched the video gradually transition on the screen, Qinglu suppressed the surging excitement and anticipation in her heart, and involuntarily sat up straighter.

"Okay, Wing Launcher, are you ready?"

A voice-over came from the screen, followed by a soft response.

"Ooh~"

The screen brightened, revealing the figures of Xia Chi and Zhen Yifa.

It is clear from its expression and body shape that this is not Xia Chi's individual that was "regressed" from a dream demon.

"Next, we will analyze and introduce Paradoxical Pokémon, starting with the most familiar one, Winglash."

Xia Chi smiled and said, "Let's see what characteristics a normal vibrating wing generator usually has?"

"Is this guy not going to act anymore?"

Qinglu retorted, "And he even knows that what he's doing is just 'abnormal'!"

Professor Oak smiled and shook his head.

The strangeness of the Summer Pool Spirits has exceeded conventional understanding, but the greatest quality of the strong lies in acknowledging and trying to understand those things that are beyond one's own knowledge, rather than simply denying them.

"Due to the unique nature of the ancient environment, the average strength of ancient Paradox Pokémon was generally extremely high, and the gap in overall strength between different groups was not as large as that between modern Pokémon."

Xia Chi said, "For example, 'Moon Cry,' which is considered an ancient ancestor of Salamence, is not necessarily stronger than 'Winged Wing,' the ancient ancestor of this Misdreavus next to me."

"However, we all know that in this day and age, if we use the same resources to raise a Salamence and a Misdreavus, the difference in the level of strength they can ultimately reach is like heaven and earth."

in front of the screen.

Qinglv pondered for a moment, "The power difference between Paradox Pokémon is really that small? Grandpa, what do you think is the reason behind this?"

Professor Oak stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "I think this must be closely related to the extreme environment of that era. The abundant geological and fossil evidence shows that the oxygen content of our planet in ancient times was much higher than it is now, and the atmospheric composition was also completely different. The towering giant trees in Xia Chi's video of traveling through ancient times also corroborate this point."

"In such a harsh yet oxygen-rich environment, the Pokémon that have survived and evolved to this day are all top predators that have undergone the most brutal natural selection. This may also be the reason why they are rare in species but extremely powerful in individuals."

Qinglu nodded in admiration.

To be able to deduce the deeper reason from just one clue, truly worthy of being a grandfather!
------

"Another major characteristic of Paradox Pokémon is that they all have extremely fierce and brutal personalities."

On the screen, Xia Chi continued, "Even the defensive Pokémon Breloom, which is now known for its endurance and resilience, has an ancient ancestor called 'Morpho-breoom,' which is a Grass/Dark type Pokémon with extremely strong offensive capabilities."

The scene shifts to a ferocious mushroom that appears out of a time machine in the laboratory.

Its massive and robust body, far larger than that of the Flounder, and its huge, round fist-like end, all demonstrate its fierce and combative nature, which is completely different from its modern Shield Mushroom descendants.

"To be honest, this guy is one of the most difficult Paradox Pokémon we've ever dealt with."

Xia Chi said with a headache, "Megami's intelligence level is significantly lower than other Pokémon. It only knows how to punch, and its personality is easily angered and extreme. Trainers who aim to train Meganami in the future need to pay attention to these points."

At this point, the previously subdued bullet comments became noticeably more active.

[What are you implying by mentioning low intelligence, boxing, and an irritable and extreme personality?]

[It looks like a mutated Poké Ball, would anyone actually want to catch one?]

[If it can produce mushroom spores, then by all accounts, it's practically the most reliable silhouette in the world 2333.]

[Then why don't I just cultivate the Mushroom directly? Its resistance to Grass/Poison is better than Grass/Dampness, and I don't need its extra damage.]

Don't always look at this from a gaming perspective. You'll see how amazing it is in real-world one-on-one matches; after all, its overall strength rivals that of a near-god-tier character!

[Low IQ is a major drawback; you'll only behave if they keep punching and won't listen to your commands.]

[What about abilities? Why haven't we heard Prisoner mention Paradox Pokémon's abilities yet?]

Green immediately ruled out the idea of ​​capturing the Mighty Mushroom in the future.

He already has a Venusaur. No matter how strong the Mega Venusaur is, can it be stronger than a Mega Venusaur?
Their functions overlap, and they are extremely difficult to tame. It's better to look at other paradoxical Pokémon.

in the screen.

After giving a brief introduction to the personalities and characteristics of the various paradoxical Pokémon, Xia Chi finally began a more in-depth analysis.

"The astute viewers in front of their screens have probably already noticed a problem."

"That's why, despite all this time I've been introducing it, I've never mentioned any information about Paradox Pokémon's 'Abilities'."

Xia Chi laughed and said, "Because all the Ancient Paradox Pokémon share the same ability, I named it [Ancient Vitality]!"

"The effect of this ability is that when the weather on the field is 'Sunny Day,' the Pokémon's strongest ability will be increased by 30%, and if that ability is Speed, it will be increased by 50%!"

Hearing this on the screen, Qinglv scratched her head. "Uh, this feature sounds a bit ordinary."

As a trainer, he instinctively considers things from a tactical perspective.

As a former Kanto champion, Professor Oak naturally possesses a keen tactical eye.

He nodded in agreement, saying, "From a tactical perspective, pairing it with a Sunny Day team is indeed less effective than 'Solar Power' or 'Chlorophyll,' which can directly double the speed of Pokémon under Sunny Day."

The reason is that while a 30% increase in numerical value seems good, it is still less than one-third of the attack power increase from a single "Sword Dance".

Even if a Pokémon's strongest ability is speed, a 50% increase is far less effective than a 100% increase in [Chlorophyll].

However, the situation quickly took a turn for the better.

in the screen.

Xia Chi continued, "Of course, the conditions that trigger this characteristic are not just 'sunny days,' or rather, sunny days are not the essential reason for triggering this characteristic."

"Because the temperature in the ancient world was much higher than in our world, the special item [Drive Energy] developed by the Zero Zone Research Institute can simulate the ancient environment suitable for Paradox Pokémon, thereby stimulating the characteristics of Paradox Pokémon."

He shrugged and said, "Whether this behavior is reasonable and legal depends on the alliance's ruling."

The comments section immediately erupted in excitement.

[Of course it's legal! I call this scientifically recreating the optimal living environment for paradoxical Pokémon, how can that be considered cheating? (Magnemite laughing.jpg)]

But isn't that unfair to the other elves?

Is it fair that some Pokémon can Mega Evolve while others cannot?

[Simply add some rules, like how each trainer can only field one Paradox Pokémon with 'Drive Energy', similar to how only one Crystallization and Mega Evolution can be performed per battle.]

[Agreed. Since it exists, it definitely needs to be included in the battle system; otherwise, it's no fun.]

To be honest, these restrictions only apply in formal, structured battles. In the open world, there aren't so many restrictions.

The optimal solution would actually be for each Pokémon to hold one item, but unfortunately, many of the items in Victory Road are impossible to implement in reality.

------

The existence of the special item "Driving Energy" has sparked great controversy among viewers.

Green couldn't help but look at Professor Oak beside her and asked curiously, "Grandpa, do you think the League will eventually agree?"

"Most definitely."

Professor Oak nodded without hesitation. "The Padia Alliance will definitely raise this proposal at the next Alliance General Meeting, and will try to gain a majority vote by sacrificing some other benefits."

"This was almost inevitable."

Qinglv was young after all, and her first thought was based on her identity as a trainer and researcher.

Professor Oak's analysis, based on politics and the ecosystem of alliances, immediately enlightened him.

Qinglu lowered her head and murmured, "In this way, the versatility of the [Ancient Activity] property will be much stronger."

A 30% increase in ability may seem ordinary, but that's under certain conditions.

However, if you can get something for free using items, the cost-effectiveness is completely different.

Traits like [Master Technician] and [Adaptability], which increase the output of specific moves, only boost damage by about 30%.

These kinds of features are already considered top-tier features.

Xia Chi continued her introduction in the video.

"Similar to the abilities of Ancient Paradox Pokémon, Future's ability is called [Quark Charge], which has the same effect as [Ancient Activation], but is triggered by Electric Terrain."

"Of course, they can also be activated using the [Driving Energy] item."

The next step is naturally the analysis of the individual paradox Pokémon.

Attributes, ability characteristics, skill pool depth, and potential analysis.
Qinglu listened intently.

Green listened intently to every detail, constantly calculating and comparing in its mind, sketching out a blueprint for capturing Paradox Pokémon in the future.

Professor Oak's eyes flickered, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Finally, the video is coming to an end.
Xia Chi, who is well-versed in the art of attracting viewers, saved the most anticipated highlight—the legendary Paradox Pokémon—for last.

"Of course, there were some regrets in the first time machine experiment. We failed to summon the 'Three Paradoxical Beasts' that may have originated from the ancient era, such as 'Waves' and 'Breaking Flame'."

Xia Chi said, "But I believe that as time machine technology continues to mature and more spacetime connections are established, their mysteries will one day be completely unveiled!"

Qinglv, sitting in front of the screen, suddenly thought of a question.

"Grandpa, aren't Raikou, Suicune, and Entei legendary Pokémon resurrected by Ho-Oh from three ordinary Pokémon that died in the Burnt Tower? How come there are Ancient Paradoxes among them?"

This is indeed a rather strange question.

The Burnt Tower incident occurred several hundred years before the League was even formed.

The ancient paradoxical species were active for tens of thousands of years, and perhaps even longer.

If the Three Sacred Beasts first appeared hundreds of years ago, then what about the Waves and the others tens of thousands of years ago?

Professor Oak pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps... Ho-Oh was modeled after those absurd Pokémon when Suicune and the others were created?"

Qinglv nodded.

There seems to be no better explanation than this.

Video continues.

"However, before we see Ripple and the others in person, we are still fortunate enough to witness the extraordinary prowess of the other two Paradoxical Pokémon!"

The scene shifts and freezes on the moment when Gulliver first arrived at the laboratory, showing its distant confrontation with Millerton.

It has to be said that this scene was cool, but it couldn't be shown for even a second longer.

Because the next frame shows Millerton instantly cowering and quickly hiding behind Xia Chi, looking like a "punching bag".
"The Winged King and the Iron Serpent, or rather I prefer to call them Guleton and Milton."

Xia Chi said in a deep voice, "Whether in ancient times or in the future, they are still powerful beings standing at the top of all paradoxical Pokémon!"

Qinglu's breath hitched.

It's confirmed! These are the legendary spirits that Xia Chi has acknowledged!
It's unclear when exactly, but the name Xia Chi has become almost synonymous with authority.

Based on his knowledge of legendary spirits, he was absolutely certain that he was right!
Moreover, in his previous battle with the Evil Spirit, Guleton also demonstrated a strength far exceeding that of ordinary elves.

------

"These two elves are extraordinary."

In the frozen frame, six-dimensional graphs of two realistic game numerical panels and a series of explanatory texts appear.

Xia Chi's voice-over continues.

"First, let's look at the attributes. The ancient god Milerton's attribute is Fighting-Dragon, and the future god Milerton's attribute is Electric-Dragon. These two attribute combinations are excellent, with complementary and wide coverage, and can handle almost any situation."

"In terms of skill pool, legendary Pokémon naturally have their own unique exclusive moves, namely Full Thrash and Lightning Thrash."

The specific effects of the two exclusive moves immediately appeared on the screen.

[When a move is extremely effective against the opponent, its power is further increased!]

Xia Chi's voice-over continues.

"It has no side effects and such additional effects, which is not bad. However, the strength of these two legendary Pokémon does not lie in this."

"It lies in their characteristics!"

"That's right, and that's the biggest reason why I consider them legendary Pokémon. Their characteristics are different from the common Paradox Pokémon's [Ancient Activity] and [Quark Charge], and you could even say they are much more powerful!"

The text on the video reappeared.

【Crimson Pulse: Upon entering the battlefield, a sunny day will be activated, increasing physical attack by 33% when the weather is sunny!】

[Half-Hollow Engine: Upon entering the battlefield, it creates an Electric Terrain. While in an Electric Terrain environment, Special Attack is increased by 33%!]

No matter how powerful these two Pokémon are, they have absolutely no connection to the vast majority of viewers.

But these two incredibly powerful features instantly caused the chat to explode with excitement. [These features are way too overpowered! Not only do they provide weather and terrain at the start, but they also give away a free attack boost?!]

Holy crap! This is incredibly sneaky. They've already established a complete system and enhanced abilities right from the start?!

[What the hell is this? A combination of 'sunlight' and 'ancient activity'?! Are we even going to play this game?!]

Groudon shed tears of envy, thinking, "It feels even stronger than 'End of the World' after Mega Evolution!"

Now I understand why Lao Shui kept emphasizing the special nature of these two Pokémon; their characteristics are simply unbeatable!

Thankfully, they were two legendary Pokémon. If they were ordinary Paradox Pokémon, I'd want to surrender them immediately.

Professor Oak and Green looked at each other in bewilderment in front of the screen.

Even with their vast experience and knowledge, they were still somewhat taken aback by the powerful characteristics of these two elves.

"This trait... it might be a contender for the title of 'strongest trait,' right?"

Qinglv murmured to herself, still processing the shock.

"There are almost none that are stronger than these two characteristics."

Professor Oak nodded slowly, his tone serious. "Moreover, given Xia Chi's breeding skills, it's hard to imagine what kind of strength that Milton will display in the future."

Green: "."

Grandpa, is it really appropriate for you to say such things in front of me, the person you personally selected to "cultivate"?

However, I may have my own complaints.

Qinglu had to admit that Xia Chi's cultivation ability had indeed reached an unbelievable level.

Even the legendary spirit Egui Peng, who was already powerful, was subdued by Xia Chi for a period of time.

He also advanced from the "50/50 with Tao Dailang" level to the "Dominator of the Fengyuan God War" level.

If one is the "nurturer".
This guy should be called the "God of Nurturing", right?

Qinglu gave a self-deprecating laugh and shook her head.

When I came to my senses, the hour-long video had already ended.

"Let's go, Mr. Mime."

As Professor Oak spoke, he stood up nimbly, stretched his somewhat stiff limbs, and sighed, "Time waits for no one; my health is declining day by day."

Seeing this, Qinglu quickly got up to help him.

Professor Oak chuckled and scolded, "What? You brat, I'm not so old that I need help. You get some rest and hurry up and finish your paper. We'll set off in a couple of days!"

Qinglu suppressed her excitement and said, "Okay, Grandpa!"

After watching Professor Oak and Mr. Mime carrying an empty fruit platter leave the room, the door was gently closed.

The study was quiet again.

------

Xia Chi's new video unsurprisingly caused a huge sensation.

The focus of the heated discussion is not only on the official unveiling of the two legendary paradoxical Pokémon, Milton and Grimaldon.

Although their [Crimson Pulse] and [Heron Engine] characteristics are indeed almost abnormally powerful, they are ultimately unattainable legends, far removed from the daily lives of most ordinary trainers.

What truly sparked nationwide discussion was the prevalence of common paradoxes in the video.

After all, before this, people still had some doubts about the overall strength of the Paradox Pokémon category—

Xia Chi's flapping wings are indeed very strong.

But then again, which of Xia Chi's Pokémon isn't strong?
This is an exceptional case among exceptional cases and cannot be used as a general reference. No one would be optimistic that every Paradox Pokémon possesses such incredible power.

However, after watching this video, everyone understood.
These travelers from ancient times or the future are truly comparable to quasi-gods!
Of course, some are comparable to top pseudo-legendary dragons like Salamence and Dragonite.

Some of the counterparts are the near-godlike shame of the Nymphalurus, except for the Washed Green form.

However, regardless of the circumstances, the sudden emergence of so many worthy Pokémon to train naturally caused a huge and enthusiastic response, which is not hard to understand.

As for Paradox Pokémon, they are all super male, fierce, difficult to get along with, and extremely hard to tame.

They're so strong, what's wrong with them having a bit of a temper?
The problem with Pokémon being difficult to tame isn't the Pokémon's fault, it's the trainer's fault!
This is probably why Paradox Pokémon enjoys such a high status among trainers worldwide after the video was released.

Unfortunately, it will take at least several more years to develop the grand vision that Xia Chi envisions: "transforming the entire Padia Crater into a natural paradise for paradoxical Pokémon, where any trainer who wishes can go and try to catch them."

After all, the time machine can only be activated about ten times a week, and each time there are only two or three sprites.

Even if technology advances in the future, increasing the rate of converting crystal energy, or building more time machines, the speed of extraditing Paradox Pokémon will not be fast.

It is highly likely that artificial breeding and propagation, similar to that at breeding bases, will be needed to achieve "paradoxical Pokémon freedom" as soon as possible.

However, just like the Mega Evolution and Crystallization systems of the past, top trainers and large organizations always have the resources and channels to experience the "beta version" in advance.

The moment when Paradoxical Pokémon will demonstrate its true strength on the world's highest level of battles is surely coming soon.

Xia Chi, the creator of all this sensational effect, was completely unaware of the enthusiastic response on the internet.

He's currently struggling with something.

Which Pokémon should I bring on my trip to the Unova region?
First of all, the prison class that treated the children as left-behind children last time should definitely be together; we can't let the children be disappointed again.

And if you're going to participate in the Dark-type expert tournament, you'll definitely need to bring all three Dark-type Pokémon, right?
Therefore, by the same token, Meowha and Master Bear must also go along with it.

The Unova region is said to be a food wasteland, so Sister Fa, the chef, definitely has to come along, otherwise the food quality will plummet.

Ponpon and Victini are so clingy, we can't just leave them on the island.

Latias said that Xia Chi had already gotten used to having this personal maid by her side.

Milerton is also a mode of transportation. Ahem, scratch that.

Xia Chi meant that since Milton had just joined the team, it would definitely take time to build rapport and bond.

Besides, this guy is a coward, so it's not very convenient for him to stay and guard the house.

After going through all that, I'll have to bring every single Pokémon along.

Xia Chi sighed.

The only amazing thing about Poké Balls is that you can carry one or two more without them adding much weight.

Otherwise, it would be like moving house for this whole family no matter where they go.
------

"Hey, you just got back, are you leaving again tomorrow?"

At dinner time, Yui, who came over for dinner as usual, expressed her incomprehension about Xia Chi's extremely tight schedule.

"Xia Chi, with your current achievements, you've long been able to retire early and live an enviable, carefree life. It's amazing that you're still working so hard!"

Xia Chi didn't even look up. While serving food to Ponpon next to her, she casually replied, "I can't help it. I have to go out and earn money to pay your salary."

Yui knew it was a joke, and replied with a grin, "It feels so good to be kept by someone~"

Xia Chi glanced at her with annoyance and said helplessly, "You can also go to other areas occasionally, and while you're at it, you can catch some Pokémon like the Twisted Dog, Alcremie, Saltstone Giant, or Giant Pot and bring them back to the island."

"Why are they all related to food?"

Despite her complaints, Yui still agreed, "Okay, whatever you say, sir~"

The two chatted casually for a while, then Yui seemed to suddenly remember something, and her tone became slightly more serious.

"By the way, if you're going this time, why don't you bring Hakron along?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Chi looked up in surprise: "Why are you suddenly saying this? What's wrong with Hakron lately?"

His original plan was to wait for Hakron to express his desire to go out and see the world.

Yui knows this too.

So when she suddenly said that, Xia Chi felt that something must have happened.

Yui gently stirred the food in her bowl with her chopsticks and said casually, "Well, it was probably the week before last. I don't know where a wild Gyarados flew in from, and suddenly it broke into the area of ​​Lake Heart Island. Then it had a conflict with the natives, led by Dragonair, probably over territory or something."

She paused, then continued, "That Gyarados was quite strong. The Dragonair and the others couldn't beat it and were somewhat suppressed. I had to step in to calm things down."

Yui shrugged. "So, I think after this incident, Hakron might have been a bit stimulated and might take the initiative to tell you that he wants to become stronger and wants to go out and see the world with you."

Xia Chi gave her a deep look.

If Yui is truly a naive and innocent girl, then this statement might be believable.

But she's a girl who rose to the top ranks of Team Lava through her own abilities; it's absolutely impossible for her to do so without some cunning and skill.

This "accident" of the invasion of Gyarados was most likely a scheme orchestrated by Yui for Dragonair.

The purpose is self-evident: to gently nudge the somewhat complacent Hakkarosaurus and get it to take that step on its own.

She's very cunning, but Xia Chi likes her a lot.

He was never the kind of stubborn person who insisted on everything being absolutely natural, or the kind of person who would turn around and bite back when someone offered him a helping hand.

Yui was willing to play the bad cop and facilitate this behind the scenes, and he was happy to see it happen.

He nodded and put the matter aside.

------

As night deepened, the gentle moonlight, like water, bathed the entire island lake in a tranquil and hazy silver glow.

Xia Chi sat on the dewy balcony of the lakeside cottage, holding the sleeping Ponpo in her arms. The little guy's breathing was even, and the scent of grass and warmth wafted through his fur.

Not far away, Milerton floated quietly in the cool lake water, its streamlined metal body reflecting the moonlight and occasionally swaying gently with the ripples.

It looked up at the moon in the sky, lost in thought, its mechanical eyes filled with leisure and tranquility.

I don't know why this mechanical creation likes to be submerged in water.
The evening breeze, carrying the cool scent of the lake and the faint fragrance of the distant flowerbeds, was refreshing and delightful.

Just as everything was quiet, a soft splashing sound suddenly arose on the water's surface.

Xia Chi didn't turn her head, but the corners of her mouth were already slightly raised.

Sure enough, an elegant, slender blue head silently emerged from the lake, its crystalline horn on its forehead reflecting a soft glow in the moonlight.

The sudden commotion startled Millerton, who was admiring the moon nearby.

"Gurgle"

After a short electronic sound, my whole body was jolted up from the water as if I had been electrocuted, instantly soaring into the air.

Fortunately, it doesn't have the habit of unconsciously discharging electricity, otherwise all the spirits in the lake in the heart of the island would have to undergo electrotherapy.
Xia Chi glanced helplessly at Milton, who was still in shock in the air, then looked away and gently looked at Hakron in the water, asking softly, "What's wrong, Hakron? Why aren't you resting so late?"

Hakron lowered his head slightly, a hint of hesitation flickering in his clear, lake-blue eyes.

But it didn't last long; it was soon replaced by a resolute radiance of determination.

It emitted a soft, tentative low hum: "Fu-i."

Xia Chi, are you going on another long trip tomorrow?

Xia Chi nodded: "Yes, this time I'm going to a place called United Nations to participate in a competition, and it might be a long time."

Hakron moved its body forward slightly, getting closer, and its cry showed even more determination.

"Fuyi?"

Can I come with you this time?

It slightly twisted its slender body, seemingly a little embarrassed, but its eyes remained unwavering as it met Xia Chi's gaze.

"Fuyi—"

I don't want to just stay here anymore. I want to become stronger, and I want to see more scenery and experience more things with you and everyone else. Is that okay?

Under the moonlight, the scales on the white belly of the dragon shimmered with a soft luster, and the small wings on its head were also nervously folded slightly.

Like a child who has finally mustered the courage to make a request, hesitant yet full of anticipation.

Xia Chi looked at Hakron's extremely serious expression and a smile slowly bloomed on his face.

He reached out and gently stroked Hakron's cool, smooth forehead with his palm, his fingertips able to clearly feel the subtle life force emanating from beneath the delicate scales.

"of course can."

Hakron's eyes lit up instantly, as if they were filled with the starlight of the entire night sky.

"Fu-yi!"

Thank you, Xia Chi!

Xia Chi shook his head, his expression becoming slightly serious, and said earnestly, "However, Hakron, becoming stronger doesn't just mean going out to see the outside world."

"Behind it is day after day of hard training, possibly not easy battles, and the perseverance to grit your teeth and keep going. I hope you have really thought these things through and that once you start, you can stick to it."

Hakron nodded without hesitation, letting out a firm and clear cry: "Fu-i!"

I will definitely do it!

Seeing the unwavering determination in its eyes, Xia Chi's smile returned.

He extended his hand again, making an inviting gesture, "Then, please take care of me on the journey ahead, Hakron."

Hakron nuzzled Xia Chi's palm with his smooth head.

"Fu-yi~"

Please feel free to offer your guidance!
