You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 87 What's it like to encounter a mythical beast while out and about? (Please read on!)

It wasn't until noon that Qingyu realized the dojo was facing a very serious crisis.

The food I stocked up on during my last trip to Pingdie Town is almost gone!

In the Padia region, the staple food for humans and Pokémon is actually the same: a highly customizable sandwich that can be made to order.

You can buy ready-made sandwiches and ingredients at the store.

Although he was a Chinese in his previous life and wasn't used to eating this stuff every day, after several failed attempts to cook it himself, he resigned himself to his fate.

Even someone as skilled at creating terrible food as myself would never fail to make a dish like this, which requires almost no skill and simply involves piling ingredients on bread.

After skillfully sprinkling a bunch of ingredients such as hairy crab sticks, ham slices, and cheese slices onto the bread slices, Qingyu covered them with another slice of bread and pressed it down, all the while silently thinking to herself:

In my past life, when I was playing the game "Zhu Zi", I wanted to complain about how the protagonist couldn't even plate food properly. How could this thing not have a lid?
Even he couldn't replicate the shape of the architectural sandwich...

"Buy~"

"road!"

Hmm, this sandwich is good for you!
Dividing the prepared sandwiches into three portions, and watching Eevee and Riolu wolf down their food, Qingyu quickly made a decision—

I'll go to Pingdie Town again this afternoon to stock up on some food!
……

After returning from Pingdie Town, Qingyu walked along Xiaoshi Path, carrying two large bags of ingredients, and looked around.

Unlike other regions, the boundaries of the Padiya region are very blurred, and there are very few roads with fixed names like these.

The two ends of the Little Key Path connect the town of Flatbread to a lighthouse-like building.

That was the renowned Lighthouse Research Institute, famous throughout the entire Padiya region, and the joint property of Dr. Orin and his wife, Futu.

Now, after the major event in Sector Zero, the only person still living here should be Batman (Padia's appearance), right?

Wait a minute, it seems I'm not much better off than Pipa...

Qingyu, who had accidentally hurt herself while making a meme, immediately stopped laughing.

Judging from the closed doors and dusty windows, Pipa, like the original owner of the body before the transmigration, probably hasn't recovered from her grief yet.

Qingyu silently shook her head.

Although the accident was definitely related to the doctor couple's eagerness for quick success, their child, Pipa, was clearly a victim just like the original owner of this body.

Hopefully he can recover soon and evolve into the sunny and cheerful boy in the game.

After walking along the small path, Qingyu quickly realized that something seemed amiss in the vicinity.

He should have encountered at least some wild Pokémon like Finch and Arowana on the way, but on the way to Flatbread Town, he also saw a Jumpluff that was startled by his appearance.

When they returned, they had all disappeared.

Nine out of ten things are wrong.

Sensing something was wrong, Qingyu immediately took out a Poké Ball from his pocket.

Fortunately, he knew that things could easily go wrong in the Pokémon world, so he brought Riolu with him when he came out.

After a flash of red light, Riolu made a dazzling appearance, immediately frowning as it looked into the distance.

Inside the Poké Ball, it could vaguely sense the auras of many Pokémon. Although most of them were not very strong, their numbers were overwhelming.

Moreover, there were several creatures with very strange waveguide energy, beings that I had never seen before.

Therefore, it wants to remind the trainer through its actions that they must never fight recklessly!
Thinking of this, Riolu immediately took three steps back, shielding Qingyu in front of him.

"..."

Looking helplessly at Riolu, who was hiding behind him and clinging to his leg, Aoba sighed silently.

"You really can't be relied on."

I thought having you with me would make me feel safe, but I didn't expect you to chicken out at a time like this... No wonder you're a cautious Pokémon.

Well, there shouldn't be any threatening Pokémon around here anyway, so I'll just treat it as a walk.

With this in mind, Qingyu didn't go far before he discovered the culprit that caused the disappearance of wild Pokémon in the vicinity.

A group of Houndooms were baring their teeth around a cave entrance, seemingly confronting other Pokémon.

Houndoom, the Dark Pokémon.

Like the Poliwag that chased and bit Professor Birch at the entrance of the village in Hoenn, it is a Dog-type Pokémon with the Dark attribute.

This is also a common configuration for henchmen of many villainous organizations.

To be fair, the Pokémon world does lack a secondary taxonomy invented by a certain streamer in a previous life, because a considerable number of Pokémon share similar habits.

For example, dog-type Pokémon prefer to fight in groups, cat-type Pokémon are not very friendly, and cotton-type Pokémon are mostly evil-minded...

Houndoom is very territorial, so it's likely that other Pokémon trespassed into their cave, which triggered their riot.

"If I just sneak over there, they probably won't react."

As Qingyu thought this, she safely passed the cave along the roadside and inadvertently glanced at the scene outside the cave below.

Then, he was instantly dumbfounded.

Surrounded by Dewype are two even larger Pokémon.

One of them is a mastiff godfather, which is very common in the Padiya region, but it shouldn't usually be seen in this area.

Its body clearly had several very serious injuries, and it could only droop its head helplessly in the face of the barking of many Derubis, as if it didn't even have the strength to speak.

If it were just this one Mastiff Godfather, Qingyu might not have thought much of it.

But there was another strange creature beside the Mastiff Godfather.

It was a mysterious Pokémon standing with its head tilted back, its body radiating a metallic sheen that seemed incongruous with flesh and blood.

With its bluish-purple body, elastic tail wreathed in gurgling electricity, and a pair of V-shaped horns atop its head, it arrogantly surveyed the surrounding Derubis who dared not approach out of fear.

Although its hadron engine was off, making it look very much like a dyed motorcycle lizard, Qingyu still blurted out its name—

"Millerton!"

His gaze was somewhat complicated.

What's it like to encounter a mythical beast while out and about?
The guardian dragon of the park and the iron serpent mentioned many times in ancient books are both names people use for this unknown entity.

It is also one of the cover gods of the game "Pokémon Red/Purple".

According to the game's encyclopedia, legend has it that Milton once turned the earth to ashes with lightning.

Without a doubt, it is a deity with immense power.

Of course, only Qingyu, as a transmigrator, knew the truth...

It is a paradoxical Pokémon that should not have appeared in this era; it is a future creature that was forcibly summoned to the modern era by the Sector Zero time machine!
Moreover, this Milton probably has no fighting ability at all and can only fool these Derubis with its intimidation...

Gazing at the proud figure on the beach below, Qingyu fell into deep thought.

Was it my presence that caused the butterfly effect?

The crucial plot point that was supposed to be triggered by the game's protagonist, Xiaoqing/Xiaochun, two years later seems to have unfolded right before my eyes...

The author actually quite liked Milton, but when it came to choosing a mount, he immediately opted for the more technologically advanced Milton...

This is my first time being featured on Sanjiang, and I'm a little excited, so I stayed up all night to write two chapters to share the joy with you readers. Since I promised to add more chapters, I will definitely keep my promise!

That's all for now, I'm going to stay up all night writing tomorrow's chapter...
