Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

Nanfeng hadn't drunk much, but Teacher Bai Wenru was already tipsy. It was clear the teacher was extremely happy this time.

I remember the last time Teacher Bai Wenru was so happy was when Nanfeng became the Heavenly King.

After taking the teacher home, Nanfeng returned to his manor.

Sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the lights of countless homes, I quietly play my handheld game console.

"Dark Mewtwo is so damn hard," Nanfeng muttered, having just gone to challenge Dark Mewtwo to a 1v1 match and been completely crushed.

After all, it's a top-tier divine beast, and its level is 100.

To defeat it, I need to further improve my strength.

I'd better just find a champion to solo and meet the requirements for starting the Pokémon Tournament first.

However, I still need to think carefully about where to find these champions.

I just put down my handheld console.

Nanfeng then received a message from Lin Wei.

"Boss, we've received a message from the World Pokémon Championship organizers; they've sent invitations to the top eight Pokémon."

Nanfeng clicked to accept the invitation.

The message was simple: congratulations and greetings sent to me, followed by an invitation to participate in the Masters Tournament two months later.

However, before the Eight Masters Tournament two months later, he had to first travel to the official headquarters of the World Pokémon Championship to accept challenges from others.

Because the World Pokémon Championship's Eight Masters Tournament itself selects the top eight ranked Pokémon trainers in the world to battle.

For the eight trainers who have already reached the Master rank, the only way to participate in the Master Tournament is to improve their ranking and then challenge these eight Masters.

If the challenge is successful, the successful challenger will take the place of the defeated challenger.

However, this challenge depends entirely on the challenger's idea, so Nanfeng doesn't know if he will receive a challenge.

Nanfeng estimated that, given his record of defeating Dongfang Ming, who was originally ranked second in the world, no one would be foolish enough to challenge him.

But... considering my age, I can't rule out the possibility that someone, or a country, is preparing a "sneak attack."

"Buy me a plane ticket to Sky Island," Nanfeng instructed Lin Wei.

The official location of the World Pokémon Championship is unique; it does not exist in any country, but on an island that floats in the air and drifts around.

To get there, you need to take a special flight, and even then, it's not something you can just do whenever you want. You need to be at least at the Elite Four level, or ranked in the top 100 of the World Pokémon Championship to qualify.

"Okay, boss"

Nanfeng put down her phone and stretched.

After a long day, I think I'll skip leveling up tonight and give myself and my Pokémon a break.

Just as the south wind was preparing to take a good rest.

The handheld console suddenly lit up by itself.

"Nah~" Gardevoir saw it and used its telekinesis to control the handheld device to fly over Southwind.

"What's wrong?" Nanfeng took the handheld console, and a notification popped up on it.

The "Sleeping Cocoon" in your backpack has stirred.

"The Cocoon of Sleep is acting strangely!!!" Nanfeng's eyes widened.

He had almost forgotten about the Cocoon of Sleep.

He remembered that the Cocoon of Sleep was a valuable item he found by chance in the ruins a long time ago, probably when he had just entered university.

Nanfeng knew that Jirachi lived inside the Cocoon of Sleep, but Jirachi usually only came out once every thousand years, so he didn't know how long Jirachi had been asleep or when it would wake up. So he just kept it in his character's inventory as a rare item. He didn't expect that there would be any unusual activity now!

Nanfeng quickly took the Cocoon of Sleep out of the handheld console's backpack.

Suddenly, a huge purple crystal landed on Nanfeng's bed. Its surface was emitting a faint glow, which was growing stronger and stronger.

0 ···Requesting flowers 0 ······

"Uluru~~~"

The south wind could hear a soft murmur.

This sounds like the cry of Jirachi.

"It's about to be born!" Nanfeng held his breath, staring intently at the rock in front of him, whose light was growing brighter and brighter.

Until the entire room was filled with light.

The dazzling light was too bright to look at directly.

When the light faded, the purple crystal had disappeared. In its place floated a small, snow-white sprite with a yellow star on its head.

It is Jirachi, the wishing star that is said to awaken once every thousand years.

Jirachi opened its sleepy eyes, and its bright black eyes immediately spotted Nanfeng, a radiant smile spreading across its face.

. . . 0

Hello~~

Jirachi flew merrily around the South Wind, communicating with it through psychic powers.

A child's voice, soft and gentle, echoed in Nanfeng's mind.

"Hello," Nanfeng greeted in return.

Then immediately send out an invitation.

"Would you like to become my partner?"

Nanfeng understands the Cocoon of Oblivion to be Jirachi's Pokémon egg. As the first person Jirachi sees after its birth, capturing it shouldn't be a problem.

"Partner, what does that mean?" Jirachi tilted his head, pondering the meaning of the word.

“A partner is your good friend, someone who will fight and play with you,” Nanfeng explained after thinking for a moment.

"Good friend, let's play together!" Jirachi's innocent face lit up with a smile again. "Okay, okay~"

"Then let's get into this Poké Ball first, so I can keep you with me at all times." Nanfeng took out a Luxury Ball and handed it to Jirachi, feeling like a strange uncle patiently guiding him.

Jirachi, unsuspecting, plunged headfirst into the Poké Ball.

Without the slightest disturbance, it was successfully subdued and immediately sprang out on its own. Having spent a thousand years in its slumbering cocoon, it clearly didn't want to remain alone in the confined space for even a moment longer.

But once it's inside the Poké Ball, it becomes Southwind's Pokémon, and you can check its attributes using the handheld console.

474. The Millennium Promise

Jirachi (Steel, Psychic) ​​(Mythical Beast)

【Level: 70】

【Trait: Divine Grace (Doubles the chance of additional effects occurring when using a move)】

Individual Values: HP (31), Attack (31), Special Attack (31), Defense (31), Special Defense (31), Speed ​​(31)

[Skills: Telekinesis, Prayer, High-Speed ​​Star, Help, Drop of Life, Mind Hammer, Gravity, Mental Power, Comet Fist, Healing Wish, Sleep, Foresight, Destruction Wish]

[Items to bring: None]

(Note: When the cosmic energy is completely lost, it will transform back into a dormant cocoon and enter the universe. Countdown: 6 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes)

The standard 6V Mythical Pokémon's stats.

Southwind, who already owned Latias, Zeraora, and other Mythical Pokémon "210", didn't care much.

What really caught Nanfeng's attention was the "Note" below the panel.

"Is it really the same as in the anime?" Nanfeng remembered that Jirachi in the anime was just like that.

It will only awaken after a thousand years of slumber.

In Nanfeng's view, this was nothing short of torture. It was even worse than the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were given one day off a year, while Jirachi was only given seven days off every thousand years.

Moreover, every time Jirachi awakens, it forms bonds with humans and Pokémon, but only for seven days. Then, due to the exhaustion of its energy, it forcibly enters a deep sleep, severing the bonds and wandering the universe until it returns to the Pokémon world a thousand years later.

By then, the world of elves will be completely changed, and the elves and humans who once formed a bond with it and made a thousand-year pact will no longer exist.

Fortunately, Jirachi loses its memory every time it awakens from the cocoon of oblivion; otherwise, the longer it lives, the more torment it would be for Jirachi.

"Now that you have become my spirit, I will never let you stay in this world for only seven days," Nanfeng thought.

He noted that the "note" mentioned that "when the energy of the universe is completely lost, it will transform back into a dormant cocoon."

Jirachi is able to operate in the Pokémon world because of "cosmic energy." It entered the universe seven days later to absorb cosmic energy so that it could be reawakened.

So, is it possible to replenish Jirachi's cosmic energy so that it will never revert to its "cocoon" state?

“Cosmic energy…” Nanfeng pondered, resting his chin on his hand.

When it comes to cosmic energy, the first things that come to mind are "solar rocks" and "moonstones." Legend has it that they are stones that fell from space, and they do indeed possess a technique called "cosmic power."

Thinking about it more carefully, there are quite a few elves from the universe. Ordinary elves include Little Meteor, Little Gray Monster, and Great Universe Monster.

The legendary elf... Deoxys.

Solgaleo and Lunala from the Alola region, or the radiant god Necrozma.

Just as Southwind was pondering, Jirachi, having become familiar with the current room, had already flown downstairs. There was clearly something more appealing downstairs.

Downstairs, there's a special hall where Nanfeng doesn't allow anyone to enter on weekdays.

because.

"I won!! ㄟ(≧◇≦)ㄏ"

"Mmm~~ Mmm (I won too)!! ㄟ(≧◇≦)ㄏ"

"So~that~sei (I lost again!! As expected, Weng bursts into tears.JPG)"

"Ooh~ (Again! Again!)"

Togepi, Mew, and Wobbuffet are sitting in the lobby, playing video games.

On the sofa against the wall, Super Power King, wearing reading glasses, is knitting a sweater, looking every bit the "grandmother." Next to it, a messenger bird is helping to untangle the yarn, occasionally glancing up at the four little guys.

"Hello~" Jirachi flew up timidly, and although it was a little shy, it still mustered up the courage to greet everyone.

Several of the companions left and cast inquiring glances toward Jirachi.

They had never seen Kirachi before.

"Come play with me!" Togepi wasn't shy at all. When he saw his new friend, he waved his game console in greeting.

"Hmm~~ Hmm~" Mew twisted its body in mid-air and teleported behind Jirachi, using its head to push Jirachi into the midst of them.

Perhaps it's the innate innocence of children...

Jirachi, who was initially a little reserved, was warmed by everyone's friendliness and attracted by the novelty and fun of the game console, and quickly joined in.

Nanfeng, who was standing at the door, watched the little guys getting along peacefully and didn't go in.

Let them play happily.

After all, if Jirachi can't solve the problem of returning to the slumbering cocoon within seven days, what could be more important than letting it enjoy seven happy days after wandering the lonely universe for thousands of years?

After leaving the hall, Nanfeng thought for a moment, then took out his phone and called Lin Wei.

"Lin Wei, could you contact all the research institutes specializing in space studies, both domestically and internationally, and ask them if they're interested in researching Jirachi?"

Strength determines vision.

If Jirachi had been born a year, or even half a year earlier, Nanfeng might have at most consulted with Professor Bai Wenru. Because once Jirachi's existence became known, there was a very high chance that a Champion-level player would try to claim it.

Jirachi's nickname is "Wishing Star," and who could resist such a temptation?

Especially those strong individuals.

But now.

Nanfeng didn't go all out when fighting Dongfangming.

If it were a foreign champion, or even one of the current top eight masters, they would dare to cause me trouble.

I wouldn't mind changing my 0.6 opponents before the Masters Tournament.

"In particular, are there any research institutes in China that specialize in space Pokémon and are available for sale? If the price is right, I might consider acquiring one," Nanfeng pondered, taking the first step in inviting experts in space-related research in China.
