Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

"It's called the Phoenix King, a mythical auspicious beast, the phoenix."

"Mythology? Phoenix?"

"It's okay if you don't understand. Just know that I've subdued it."

"Oh."

Shi Chen looked at the Phoenix King circling in the sky and laughed smugly and brightly.

Aside from the time he and Thor awakened it in the clouds, this was the first time he had formally summoned it.

Its appearance is like a combination of a phoenix and a peacock. Its feathers are mainly gold and red, with yellow tail feathers, white feathers on its belly, green feathers on the edges of its wings, green stripes on its neck, a yellow beak, black eye rims around its red eyes, and a yellow crest on its head.

Its entire body is colorful; it is Phoenix King!

At first, Shi Chen had no idea that the familiar residing in the divine fragment was a legendary Pokémon. No wonder the Fourth Progenitor's familiars were not qualified to become his familiars.

Compared to them, the Fourth Ancestor's familiars are rather lackluster.

"Is it called Ho-Oh?" Vlame asked, still looking up at it, her eyes reflecting the colorful light.

"Yes, my fire power comes from it."

"I see... It was formed from magic, wasn't it? You subdued it?"

"Yes, as expected of the master, he saw through its true nature so easily."

"Then how does it exist inside your body?" Vlame continued to ask.

"It exists in my blood in the form of magic."

"In your blood? This must be your ability, right? How amazing." Vlame exclaimed, looking at Shichen's crimson eyes.

"Master, are you interested?" Shi Chen blinked and asked.

“No, I just think it…is really beautiful.” Vlame couldn’t help but look at Ho-Oh again.

"So Master likes beautiful things. No wonder he likes the magic of creating flower fields," Shi Chen said with a gentle smile.

"Is that not allowed? I'm a woman, after all."

"Of course, no problem. Magic isn't for fighting and killing."

"You little rascal." Vlame laughed, raising his hand to rub his head, like he was treating a child, but a little too roughly.

"Master, don't you ask me where I got these abilities?" Shi Chen asked curiously.

"Why would I ask that?" Vlame retorted.

"Well, it seems I'm not interesting enough for my master."

"You little brat, trying to flirt with me, huh?"

"How dare you."

"So you've become arrogant just because you've gained power, huh?" Vlame smacked him on the head without any politeness.

"No, no! Master, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll teach you spatial manipulation techniques instead." Shi Chen quickly ran behind Frilian to hide.

"Alright then." Vlame shook his head and chuckled.

Chapter 93 Failed Confession

"Come back, Ho-Oh."

As time was recalled, the Phoenix King transformed into magic and returned to the body of the time.

It was obedient and showed no dissatisfaction with the arbitrary summoning of time, after all, it had become his familiar and had been awakened through Thor's blood.

It is now a polymer of magic, not a god from the Pokémon world.

The quality of Thor's blood is beyond imagination; after all, even Chizuka Nishiki's blood couldn't awaken a second familiar.

The return of the familiar beast caused Shichen's scarlet pupils to return to their normal brown color, and the golden flame mark between his brows slowly faded away.

"It's amazing!" Vlame couldn't help but exclaim as he watched this scene.

"So-so." Frillie didn't seem very interested.

"The rainbow is starting to fade," Vlamé said with a hint of regret, watching the rainbow slowly disappear in the sky.

"It's alright," Shi Chen comforted him. "If Master wants to see it in the future, I'll make it up anytime."

"Then forget it. If you see rainbows all the time, it gets boring."

"That's true... then let's learn the art of spatial manipulation."

Shi Chen felt a little guilty for teaching the two of them spatial manipulation techniques without Nangong Nayue's permission, but since they might not see each other again in the future, there was nothing to be afraid of.

However, ten minutes later, he realized he had worried too much.

Vlame and Frilian cannot learn the art of spatial manipulation!

The two of them couldn't even construct a magic circle!

The magic in this world is mainly based on imagination, and Shi Chen doesn't think the two of them lack imagination about space.

If he can learn it, why can't the other two?

Is it because he's special?

Or is it because of the differences between worlds?

Shi Chen suddenly remembered that Nangong Nayue had said that she also couldn't learn the magic to create a flower field.

It seems that the power systems of different worlds cannot be shared. He can learn them, so it's not that he can't understand them.

"Don't be so sad, it's okay if you can't learn it." Seeing Shi Chen's furrowed brows, Vlame patted his shoulder and comforted him softly.

"But......"

"No buts, if we can't learn it, we can't learn it. Maybe we shouldn't have learned it in the first place."

"master......"

"Cheer up." Vlamé patted him hard.

"Why are you feeling upset? It's clearly us who can't learn it."

"If Master and Frilian could learn the art of spatial manipulation, it would be much more convenient," Shichen explained regretfully.

"It's already very convenient."

“It’s different. Spatial manipulation techniques can move you to any place you’ve been before. Although it can’t be too far, at least Master can travel back and forth much faster.”

“That’s it?” Vlame shook his head and laughed.

"Any questions?"

“The timing,” Vlame said gently, looking at him. “Do you think the process is more important, or the result?”

"...Master, why are you suddenly asking this?"

"That's the answer."

I think the process is more important.

“Is that so?” Vlame smiled. “In that case, don’t you think the scenery along the way is also very interesting? Life is short, so we can’t ignore everything around us. It’s important to see and experience this world properly since we’ve come into it.”

"I understand what Master means. Since that's what you say, then alright." Shi Chen had no choice but to give up.

"That's right, just let things take their course, and be content with what you have."

"Contentment brings happiness... How are you, Frilian?" Shichen asked Frilian, who had been silent all along.

“I don’t care either,” Frilian replied indifferently.

"Really? Aren't you disappointed that you can't learn the art of spatial manipulation?"

"What's a pity? If you knew how, wouldn't that be enough?"

"I can?"

"Well, wherever we need to go, just take us there. You should be able to bring people, right?"

"It can bring people..."

"What? You're not going somewhere again, are you?" Frilian realized something and stared at him expressionlessly.

“Uh…” Shi Chen did not answer.

But his appearance says it all.

Frillie frowned, quietly watching the time, then turned and walked towards the small house.

"Wait...Frilian!" Shichen called to her, but naturally, she didn't turn around.

"Hehe~ It seems like Frilian is really reluctant to part with the days when you were here."

"I think she just can't bear to part with the days when I took care of her."

"It's all because you're always clinging to her, making her used to it. Alright, go catch up with her and explain." Vlame laughed and patted Shichen on the back.

"That master?"

"You still want to control me? I don't need your help. Although Frilian has lived longer than me, she's still just a little girl. You should take better care of her."

"Ok."

Shichen took a step forward and ran after Frilian.

Frillie returned to the small house before Shichen, and instead of staying outside, she went inside.

Without hesitation, Shi Chen followed her into her room.

The room was still simply furnished, no different from when he left.

"What are you doing here?" Frilian sat on the edge of the bed, not even looking at him.

Shi Chen walked over to Frilian, sat down next to her, stared at her delicate, fair profile, and slowly smiled.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but although she remained calm, he seemed to sense a hint of dissatisfaction from her.

When people separate and then reunite, their emotions can easily rekindle, and they may realize the care they hadn't shown before.

Frilian had never gotten along well with anyone, but Shichenqian had been clinging to her every day, waking her up, cooking for her, and talking to her all the time.
