Pokémon: Start with a Mewtwo Invitation.

Chapter 121 The Three Divine Birds Are Gathered, the Quartz Conference Begins

The impact of the flames on him was immense.

Especially when you have an additional identity, you feel like you've been kept in the dark all along, knowing nothing, and then suddenly you get a surprise.

surprise?

Thankfully, it wasn't a fright.

Otherwise, Xia Mu would find it somewhat difficult to accept.

Anyway, it's all good. What Yan Tie meant was that he should focus on developing his own power, and he would fully support and help him to some extent.

It wasn't just because his mother was Mu Xiuli, but because they truly valued his potential and abilities.

Mewtwo is also a factor!

Yan Tie believes that with his mastery of Mewtwo, he will achieve even greater things in the future and has a real chance of becoming the champion of the Kanto region, rather than just stopping at the Elite Four.

Of course, whether Xia Mu can truly pass the test of the Four Heavenly Kings in one fell swoop depends on some other abilities.

The information provided by A-Ju alone is far from enough.

Xia Mu needs to prove himself. At the Quartz Conference a week later, he must defeat all his opponents with overwhelming strength and win the league championship.

Otherwise, Yan Tie will withdraw his expectations of him, and the championship challenge will become the king challenge, at most allowing Xia Mu to become the king.

As Xia Mu left the headquarters of the Alliance Building, he was still not fully able to process what had happened.

It's worth mentioning that Mewtwo's identity will no longer need to be hidden.

Having gained Yan Tie's approval, Mewtwo will be included in the Pokédex in the future, but Xia Mu must ensure that it is not used carelessly.

The editing of the encyclopedia information was handed over to Sonia.

After all, she, Professor Magnolia, and Professor Oak have already been working on improving this aspect; adding Mewtwo would just be one more thing.

……

"Xia Mu, are you alright? This news is really too sudden. Don't do anything foolish." Sonia said worriedly, seeing Xia Mu's serious and conflicted expression.

As she spent more time with Xia Mu, she gained a deeper understanding of him and realized that Xia Mu's mind was in turmoil.

If she were in that situation, she would do the same.

Hearing Sonia's concern, Xia Mu shook his head slightly, then took Sonia's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Okay, don't overthink it. Let's leave quickly. I feel really uncomfortable staying here." Sonia said decisively in order to distract Xia Mu as well.

"Let's go back to the hotel to rest first, and then go out for a stroll later. I wonder how lively Quartz Plateau will be at night." Xia Mu pulled Sonia along, and the two walked away from there.

At this moment, on the top floor of the Alliance Building, Yan Tie could clearly see Xia Mu and Sonia walking away, his gaze deep, as if he were plotting something.

"That's all I can do. You've really worried me out. I hope that after this, our relationship can improve a bit." Yan Tie picked up the photo album in his hand, looked at the photos on it, and a sad look appeared on his face again.

The photo shows a cute little girl, about ten years old, who looks like Natsuki's mother, Mu Xiuli, when she was a child.

……

Back at the hotel, Xia Mu and Sonia rested. After their relationship heated up, they became more direct in everything they did.

Although the initial, innocent flutter of love is gone, a deep affection has grown in its place.

The two lingered for a long time before finally falling asleep.

They hadn't rested at all along the way, and they were indeed exhausted.

The two didn't wake up until after 6 p.m. After washing up, they went downstairs to the night market and had dinner.

……

Time flies when you're on the Quartz Plateau. In the blink of an eye, six or seven days have passed, and tomorrow is the opening day of the Quartz Conference.

During these six or seven days, Xia Mu would take Sonia out during the day, since there were still many areas in the nearby mountains worth exploring.

It's worth mentioning that on the third day, when Xia Mu and Sonia ventured deeper into the plateau, they discovered a long-abandoned power plant nestled among the secret hills, where many Electric-type Pokémon lived. After further exploration, Xia Mu and Sonia even found an injured Zapdos.

As one of the three legendary birds of the region, Zapdos undoubtedly has the greatest reputation. Because it is an Electric/Flying type, it is more worthwhile to train than the other two legendary birds, after all, it has the most powerful combat strength.

Having subdued Zapdos through sheer strength, Natsuki also had Moltres act as a persuader, eventually winning Zapdos's respect.

This Zapdos is not the one from Thunder Island; just like Natsuki's Moltres, it does not have any divine authority.

It is only level 65, the same level as Moltres.

Having already subdued two divine birds, Xia Mu's desire to collect all three became even stronger.

He remembered that there was an articulated bird that lived on Twin Islands.

Of course, there's no rush; at least, there's no need to catch it before the Indigo League.

Afterwards, Xia Mu learned the reason why Zapdos was injured. It turned out that it had been attacked by a group of hunters while it was out, and it barely managed to escape back here after escaping the danger.

With Zapdos by his side, Xia Mu didn't catch any other Pokémon, not even when he saw an Electivire.

In the following days, they continued their exploration, and Xia Mu even took Sonia to Mount Shirogane, which borders the Quartz Plateau.

Because of the presence of Flying-type Pokémon, crossing mountains will be very easy.

Located in the Chengdu area, Baiyin Mountain is home to many more Pokémon from the Chengdu region.

Natsuki also took this opportunity to catch a pseudo-legendary Tyranitar, marking the second time he had caught a wild Pokémon since starting his trip.

If we don't count Zapdos, that's the only one.

Ultimately, the problem is that you already have enough cloned Pokémon. If you keep pursuing quantity, you won't have time to train the Pokémon you have, and you'll end up with new Pokémon that you need to train.

This Tyranitar is quite high level, reaching level 58, making it a dominant force in Mt. Silver. In terms of trainer strength, this Tyranitar is already at the level of a near-Elite Four member.

Natsuki even suspected that this might be the same one that appeared in the future theatrical version of "Ziravi the Time Traveler".

If so, that would be interesting; it would change its fate.

Later, Xia Mu unexpectedly encountered the Three Sacred Beasts of the Chengdu region at Baiyin Mountain.

That Suicune, which was considered a disgrace to legendary Pokémon in Xia Mu's previous life on the internet.

It's impossible to say he had no ideas, but Suicune didn't give him a chance to challenge and capture it, instead using its special power to disappear directly.

Xia Mu didn't know why she would appear in front of him if she was unwilling to accept him.

After all, the existence of the three legendary beasts is a listening device left by Ho-Oh in this world, serving not only as a guide but also to monitor the current state of humanity.

……

On the road to the Quartz Plateau, the champion's road.

Natsuki and Sonia rode on the Growlithe, traversing dense forests. They were now less than ten kilometers away from returning to the Quartz Plateau.

It was at this very spot that Natsume and Sonia unexpectedly encountered Ash and his friends, who were carrying the sacred flame.

The appearance of Natsuki initially alerted the guard team, who seemed to have been attacked earlier. However, after learning that Natsuki was the legendary Pokémon trainer who had captured Moltres, the Pokémon League Chairman, Damar Ranchi, extended a sincere invitation to him.

I hope Xia Mu can run with the sacred flame and make his way into the Quartz Arena.

After all, the sacred flame of the Quartz Conference was collected from the Moltres.

Of course, it wasn't Natsuki's Moltres, but the Moltres from Fire Island.

Xia Mu was quite surprised by this, after all, taking flames off a divine beast was no easy task.

The only explanation is that the firebird made a deal with humans, so it voluntarily gave them the inextinguishable flame.

Since they extended such a sincere invitation and everyone was so looking forward to it, Xia Mu couldn't very well refuse.

He immediately accepted the invitation and summoned his ever-present firebird to accompany him.

Running ten kilometers with the sacred flame was no problem for Xia Mu in his current physique, but he wasn't stupid. He chose to fly directly on a firebird, but at the request of Chairman Damaranqi, he flew low.

The flamingo was very cooperative, after all, its master, Natsuki, had agreed to this.

The molten bird felt quite close to the flames of the sacred fire, because it was the aura of its own kind, and also the true god of fire.

Moltres's appearance caused a huge uproar upon arriving at the Indigo Arena.

This kind of shock is incomparable to ordinary shock.

Moltres, a legendary Pokémon and the source of sacred fire.

In the hearts of the people of the Kanto region, Moltres is an insurmountable god.

After completing the torch relay, Xia Mu even had the firebird put on a show in the sky, raising everyone's expectations to the max.

In truth, it was also to satisfy his vanity, because he had fantasized about this scene before, and now it had come true.

Even though it's really silly, who hasn't been young?

……

night.

Xia Mu and Sonia were also greeted by their families.

Sonia's grandmother Mulan, Xia Mu's parents Xia He and Mu Xiuli, and Uncle Xia led all the prominent people in the clan to arrive.

There were also some younger generations, but Xia Mu wasn't very familiar with them. The ones he was slightly more familiar with were the children of his uncles and aunts from Xia Bo's bloodline.

Quite a few women of Xia Mu's age came, giving Xia Mu the feeling that they were intentionally choosing wives for him.

Moreover, these outstanding young women of the Xia family are very hostile to Sonia's existence.

Sonia also clearly sensed something was wrong, so she simply took Xia Mu's arm to assert her dominance.

Xia Bo and Mulan saw this scene and smiled. Xia He and Mu Xiu were also very happy, but they didn't say anything.

As elders, how could they not know what wicked thoughts those clansmen in power were plotting?

Natsuki is so outstanding now. He is a legendary Pokémon trainer, and he has established an Energy Cube manufacturing plant and is involved in the Rotom industry chain. It looks like he is about to cover the entire Kanto region. Who wouldn't be envious?

"The tournament opens tomorrow, son, you must win the championship for your parents," Mu Xiuli said expectantly.

This was her dream, which she never realized, and it is also Xia He's regret.

"Don't worry, Mom. You should know a thing or two about my abilities," Xia Mu said with a smile.

When they first met, Xia Mu didn't bring up the matter of Yan Tie, and he hasn't told Mu Xiu Li about it in the past few days either.

When the time is right, Mom will naturally tell him. It would be bad if he asked her directly.

As for whether Yan Tie had deceived him about something, he didn't think so.

Yan Tie only conceals important matters; if he tries to deceive, he will be easily exposed.

The family gathered together and arrived at the hotel that the Xia family had booked.

When large families get moving, it can easily involve dozens or even hundreds of people.

Even if they don't want to attract too much attention, there's no other way; the number of assistants alone is quite large.

After the meal, the group separated. At the request of Xia Bo, Mu Lan, Xia He, and Mu Xiu Li, Xia Mu and Sonia went to the presidential suite to discuss some matters.

Xia Mu and Sonia never expected that their elders had such sharp eyesight.

Especially Mom, who could tell at a glance that Xia Mu and Sonia had tasted the forbidden fruit just by looking at their intimate behavior.

Mulan had actually figured it out too, but since she was an older relative, it was more appropriate for Muxiu to bring it up.

Since everything had been exposed, Xia Mu naturally wouldn't hide it, nor would she shirk responsibility.

After expressing his feelings for Sonia, he promised that he would definitely marry her.

To prevent Xia Mu from being scolded by her elders, Sonia even took the initiative to say that it was her idea.

The scene of the two helping each other earned the approval of Xia Mu's parents, Uncle Xia, and Mulan.

They actually hoped the two of them could get together, but they didn't expect to confirm their relationship so quickly.

This is a done deal, but there will be many troubles to come.

"I don't care about the affairs of your Xia family. I only have one request, which is to ensure that my granddaughter will never be used as a tool by you. Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, I have my own methods. Old man Xia, you know that." Mulan's harsh words were naturally not taken seriously by those present.

Mulan certainly has the ability.

"Grandma, don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt Sonia, just like when you entrusted her to my care." Xia Mu made his promise on behalf of himself and his family.

A real man is useless if he can't even do this.

"I hope you can do it." Mulan nodded to Xia Mu, then her serious expression changed and she smiled.

Sonia hugged Mulan's arm affectionately, clearly happy that her grandmother had accepted her feelings and also approved of Xia Mu.

"You all can talk now, I won't offer my opinion," Mulan suddenly said, and the atmosphere changed instantly.

Xia Mu also took a deep breath, knowing that the main event was about to begin.

It's time for my parents to be honest with me.

And then there was Uncle Xia, whose face was melancholy, clearly indicating that he had something on his mind.

"Xia Mu, your Grandpa Yan Tie should have already contacted you, right?" Mu Xiuli spoke first, revealing what had been on her mind...

Requesting recommendation votes and monthly votes.
