Chapter 310 So Reshiram can throw tantrums too (4k)

On the way back to the hotel.

Ziyu seemed to still be immersed in her unexpected encounter with N.

"N actually invited you to join Team Plasma. But Xia Chi, what did you mean by what you said at the end? Isn't he the leader of Team Plasma?"

She followed Xia Chi around, chattering incessantly in his ear like a bee.

No. Given how cute Senior Ziyu is, she's probably more like a light and cheerful butterfly.

"I don't know, maybe N thinks I'm naive and easy to fool?"

"As for the leader of Team Plasma, do you think it's possible that an organization that has been deeply rooted in the Unova region for so long would actually be led by a young man who is about the same age as us?"

As Xia Chi strolled along, he answered her questions in a casual manner.

At the same time, a portion of his mind was diverted to deal with the entity in his mind that was directly connected to his consciousness.

Because at this moment, Rashiram's telepathic connection also came through.

[Young man, didn't you think last time that arguing with those brainwashed people was pointless? Why are you willing to waste so much breath on this young man named N tonight?]

Xia Chi hesitated for a moment, then asked a seemingly unrelated question instead of answering directly: "Reshiram, do you know the difference between 'stupid' and 'dumb'?"

Reshiram's consciousness remained silent for a moment, seemingly searching or thinking, before responding:
In my understanding, these two words don't seem to have a significant difference in meaning.

Xia Chi chuckled to himself, “They’re just a little slow to understand and not quick-witted, but at least they have basic rationality and the willingness to accept the facts. They just ‘don’t understand’ for now.”

“But stupidity is different. It stems from a fundamental lack of cognitive ability. He will forever remain in his own prejudices and take his own prejudices as the truth of the world.”

Reshiram's consciousness flickered, conveying a sense of sudden realization.

[I understand. You believe that descendant of the United Kingdom's royal family is not irredeemably 'stupid,' but could potentially be manipulated?]

"That's right, exactly. This is exactly what they mean by 'a bad person's elaborate schemes are no match for a fool's quick thinking.'"

Xia Chi responded approvingly, "You're not stupid either, Reshiram."

As soon as he finished speaking, his heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, I spoke without thinking and made a sarcastic remark about Reshiram.

However, I can't entirely blame myself. Communicating with Rashiram doesn't require speaking at all; it's just a matter of a thought.

Controlling your thoughts is just too difficult, isn't it?

No matter what excuses Xia Chi makes, Reshiram is probably still angry.

Because after Xia Chi finished speaking, her voice never rang out again.

Xia Chi twitched the corner of his mouth.

So even the legendary True Dragon Reshiram has his moments of temper!
The last night before leaving Fanba was spent quietly amidst Rahiram's silent and sullen remarks.

The next morning, Xia Chi formally bid farewell to Elder Ju and Zi Yu, who had come to see him off, mounted Milerton, and left the city.

He had already planned his travel itinerary for the next month or so during his training breaks.

The nearest major city to Fanba City is Fukiyo City to the north.

However, since Xia Chi had already squeezed the owner of Fenglu Pavilion once before at the Mikeli Cup, there was no need for him to go again.

Therefore, after leaving Fanba City, Xia Chi chose Raven City, located in the east, as her first stop.

In stark contrast to the rugged industrial style of Fanba City, Raven City, located north of Flying Cloud City, is a bustling metropolis brimming with modern entertainment.

This can be seen from the contrasting scenery on either side of the Fanba Suspension Bridge that connects the two places.

To the west of the bridge are the monotonous yellow mines and industrial facilities of Fanba City, but once you cross the center line of the suspension bridge, the view to the east opens up dramatically.

Lush forests, clear lakes, and distant skyscrapers gradually come into view, and the air seems to become fresh and moist.

It wasn't really a stunning view, at least not as amazing as my own little island.

But comparisons are the worst thing. Compared to Fanba City, where I spent a week, this place is absolutely stunning.

On a whim, Xia Chi decided to wash his eyes properly and have lunch before heading to Raven City.

He patted Millerton on the neck, signaling it to lower its altitude.

Milton understood perfectly, precisely located a wide, open meadow by the lake, and landed smoothly.

This place is very secluded; not to mention humans, even wild Pokémon are rarely seen. It is clearly the result of careful selection by this cowardly lizard.

Xia Chi was very satisfied with this, as it saved him from unnecessary social troubles.

Although it might sound a bit boastful, given his current fame and that of his highly recognizable group of companions, if he were to appear in a crowded place, he would definitely not be able to have a moment of peace.

------

As soon as it landed, the cowardly lizard immediately went into the water, leaving only its head and the tip of its tail floating lazily on the surface.

It didn't look like a dragon; instead, it resembled a crocodile enjoying a sunbath, ready to ambush a school of fish at any moment.

Xia Chi then let the other companions out for some fresh air.

The Poké Balls flashed, and Meowth and the others appeared one after another.

Hakron hovered on the shore, its pure, lake-blue eyes gazing unblinkingly at the vast expanse of water, its gaze sparkling with a hint of reverie and nostalgia.

Having spent too long in the concrete jungle of the city, the sudden sight of scenery so similar to the ecology of its hometown left it momentarily lost in thought.

Xia Chi looked at Lao Mi, who had been pretending to be dead in the water as soon as he landed, and called out impatiently, "Millerton, don't just stand there, bring a few fish up."

The words had barely left his mouth when he suddenly remembered that this guy possessed a terrifying power that was completely at odds with his lazy appearance.

If it were to release electricity, all the aquatic creatures in the entire area would likely float to the surface, foaming at the mouth.

To avoid being arrested by Officer Jenny of the Union, he quickly said, "Never mind, Millerton, you can play by yourself. Sister Fa, you can take Hakron."

Lao Mi was naturally happy to hand over this task to another partner. He surfaced briefly, then happily buried his head back underwater to catch fish.

"Ooh~"

Sister Fa responded and flew towards the center of the lake, not forgetting to turn back and call out to the still-dazed Hakron.

Hakron snapped out of his daze and immediately glided lightly into the water, following closely behind.

The deeper the water, the bigger the fish.

With the number of companions in the family increasing, even if that gluttonous Tyranitar only eats dirt, the amount of fish to prepare cannot be small.

Meanwhile, Ponpo took Victini to the woods to pick tree fruits.

Xia Chi smiled and shook his head, not stopping him.

It was late autumn, and most of the trees had long passed their peak fruiting season. He knew that these two little guys were probably just looking for an excuse to go on an adventure.

Xia Chi was not worried about their safety at all.

They are the ones who bully wild Pokémon; no one would dare to mess with these two seemingly harmless little guys.

The two, Lao Ban and Master Xiong, were also irresponsible; as soon as they came out of the Poké Ball, they ran off to the side to wrestle.

The two Pokémon, whose sizes were relatively similar, inexplicably became closer after evolving. However, watching their powerfully intertwined limbs and the deep growls they emitted during their struggle, Xia Chi felt that this overly hardcore friendship was a little strange.
After looking around, only Meowha and Latias remained in the same spot, setting up a stove and preparing ingredients.

Watching their busy yet coordinated figures, Xia Chi was deeply moved.

This family would really fall apart without you two.
As expected, it wasn't long before Ponpo and Victini returned from the forest.

Their little baskets were empty; they hadn't found any decent fruit.

But the two little ones showed no sign of disappointment; instead, their faces were flushed with excitement.

Bictini wore a crown of flowers made of vines and wildflowers on her head.

In Ponpo's arms, she carefully held a large bunch of freshly picked wildflowers.

The flowers, though of different colors and sizes, were arranged in a surprisingly harmonious way, exuding a fresh, mountain-like atmosphere.

"Bonnie~"

Xia Chi, here are some flowers for you.

Ponpon tiptoed and tried her best to hold the bunch of wildflowers in front of Xia Chi. Her bright yellow eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Xia Chi was somewhat surprised, "Is this a gift for me?"

Ponpo nodded her little head seriously, her voice soft yet clear: "Bonni!"

I don't think I've ever given you a gift yet.

Xia Chi's heart was instantly filled with this pure sentiment.

He smiled slightly, gently bent down, and picked up the little one along with the bouquet, raising him to eye level.

"Thank you, Ponpo, I like it very much."

He nuzzled Ponpo's soft cheek and whispered, "But if we're talking about gifts, you've already given me the best one."

Ponpo tilted her head in confusion, her big eyes full of question marks: "Boni?"

[Really? I don't remember when.]

Looking at her cute and innocent expression, Xia Chi's smile deepened.

"You are the most precious gift I have ever received."

Ponpo was taken aback at first, but then a happy and radiant smile spread across her little face.

She reached out her little hands and hugged Xia Chi's neck tightly, burying her face in the crook of his neck and making a contented murmur: "Bonnie~"

You are my most precious gift!

------

In the Pokémon world, wild animals are even rarer than Pokémon, so the main dish for lunch was fish.

But with the superb skills of Executive Chef Zhen Yifa and Sous Chef Ladias as a guarantee, the meal felt as lavish as a whole fish banquet.

The grilled fish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the fish soup was milky white and fragrant, and there was even a plate of crystal clear sashimi with exquisite knife skills.

Xia Chi avoids raw fish altogether, feeling that the wild environment is difficult to keep clean and that there might be parasites.

The elves, with their powerful immune systems, don't care.

Especially Meowha, Xia Chi thought that since she was a Grass-type Pokémon, she wouldn't be so interested in fish, but she ate them more happily than anyone else.

Sunlight filtered through sparse clouds and spilled onto the lakeside, while a gentle breeze carried the aroma of food and the cheerful laughter of fairies.

After a satisfying meal, Xia Chi and the elves tidied up the picnic campsite by the lake.

After letting Milton, who had just climbed out of the lake, shake off the water from its body, Xia Chi rode it again and set off for Raven City.

The autumn air was crisp and clear, and the afternoon sun was bright but not scorching, with excellent visibility.

From where they were picnicking, the outline of the Raven City complex could already be faintly seen in the distance.

After flying for only a few minutes, the entire city of Raven gradually came into clear view.

Compared to the extremely dense cluster of skyscrapers in Flying Cloud City, the layout of buildings in Raven City appears much more spacious.

The towering Ferris wheel, the enormous concert hall roof, and the distinctive venues create a unique skyline.

This is why the city gives people a less oppressive feeling and a more comfortable and leisurely atmosphere.

Having had the painful experience of not being able to book a hotel in Flying Cloud City, Xia Chi booked the most luxurious hotel in Raven City several days in advance.

After finding a secluded spot to "park," Xia Chi recalled Milton, leaving only the less conspicuous Meowha and Latias by his side.

Like any ordinary tourist, they blended into the leisurely afternoon crowds of Raven City.

One interesting thing is that, regardless of the region, Electric-type gyms always seem to be closely associated with the most bustling cities.

This is true of Bright City in the Padia region, Luna City in the Carlos region, and Raven City in the Unova region, all continuing this strange tacit understanding.

Upon closer reflection, this may not be a coincidence.

Perhaps it's because electricity is the most indispensable energy source for human civilization and technology?

Walking down the streets of Raven City, you can see all sorts of photos and advertisements of Raven Gym Leader Chrysanthemum, or rather, Camille.

This gym owner, who is also a supermodel, is a typical example in the trainer community whose fame far exceeds their actual skills.

It's not that Xiaoju'er's strength is bad.

On the contrary, as the champion of last year's World Electric Attribute Experts Competition, her strength can definitely be described as formidable.

As for why this year wasn't mentioned, it's because she was eliminated early in the first round by Qi Shu, who had been enhanced by Xia Chi's enchantment.

In conclusion, Xiaoju'er is by no means weak.

However, her dazzling aura as an international supermodel is so overwhelming that it often leads people to have the preconceived notion that "she is probably just a pretty face."

The situation is similar to that of Lurina, the guild master in the neighboring Galar region.

Xia Chi had specifically checked the dojo's opening information before coming here.

Unfortunately, these days Xiaoju is attending an important fashion week event, and Raven Dojo is temporarily closed to the public for challenges.

This was bad news for ordinary challengers, but it became an unexpected convenience for Xia Chi.

Because he could use Xiaoju'er's back door.

Uh, this statement might sound a bit ambiguous, but the process is actually very legitimate.

Fenglu and Xiaojuer are best friends, and Xiachi and Fenglu were teammates who fought side by side in the Hoenn God War.

He easily obtained Xiao Ju'er's private contact information, which countless fans outside the industry dreamed of, from Feng Lu.

Xiaoju readily accepted Xia Chi's challenge on Bojiaman.

However, she is currently very busy with work, and the match will have to wait until she successfully completes all her schedules for this fashion week.

Xia Chi was in no hurry and settled into the hotel first.
