My electronic Pokémon came true?

There was no need to relax her senses. As long as she expanded her waveguide vision, the girl could immediately feel the mysterious and obscure atmosphere of this place.

Because the gods of the lake do not live in the lakes in the present world, if humans only observe them through physical means, they will never be able to find any trace of them.

However, the power of wave guidance is best used in situations like this.

Capture the spirit of all things and connect with them.

Nan Xian just made a slight attempt and just as he activated the waveguide a little, the entrance to the cave of Lizhi Lake appeared in front of him.

"By passing through this cave, we will be temporarily isolated from the real world and have the opportunity to meet the gods of the lake."

The girl's additional explanation sounded a bit obscure.

But Zhulan is an expert in studying mythology and history. After a little thought, she understood the specific meaning of Nanxian's words.

"...That is to say, the gods of the lake have never deliberately hidden themselves, but only special people can meet them."

From ancient times to the present, there are reports of humans encountering the gods of the lake. However, from the mixed records of true and false in the Water Vein Library, even senior scholars would have a headache about which information is truly worth referring to.

Fortunately, Zhulan doesn't need to worry.

"Next, Nan Xian, are you ready to meet it?"

Zhulan was full of energy. If she hadn't been in awe of the gods of the lake, she would have urged Nanxian to walk towards the cave inside Lizhi Lake.

In fact, Nan Xian himself is not as confident as he appears.

I did have brief contact with the two spiritual gods in the simulation, but that was through a screen and a long time and space.

Coming to Lizhi Lake in person means that Nanxian will meet the legendary Pokémon that brings the soul in person for the first time.

The girl took a deep breath and looked at the dark cave entrance in front of her again. After thinking for a moment, she decisively took out the shuttle ball from her pocket.

Nan Xian threw a light and silent shuttle ball, and Xie Mi suddenly fell to the ground, still a little confused.

"...Jamie?"

——Is it lunch time already?

After getting his own Poké Ball, Shaymin adapted as quickly as possible. In the past, during breaks from practice, he would often take naps in the Poké Ball.

Suddenly thrown out by Nan Xian, Xie Mi looked around and suddenly saw a familiar scene.

"Jie, Jie Mi?!"

——Isn’t this the entrance to the cave in the lake?!

Shemy was horrified.

How could it not recognize him after having experienced him twice? Although the memory of one of the experiences was a little vague, Shaymi was still impressed by Emrido.

When he saw the entrance to the cave inside the lake for the third time, Xie Mi raised his head again and saw Nan Xian bending down and holding him in his arms.

"Let's go and meet him together."

The girl finally looked relieved.

How can facing it alone be compared to facing it with Pokémon.

Nan Xian hugged Xie Mi, who was about to drill back into the shuttle ball, and then he took a step forward and entered the cave before Zhulan.

Although she was somewhat curious about why Xie Mi reacted to the entrance to the lake cave, Zhulan saw Nan Xian had already walked in, so she quickly cleared her mind and followed her.

The scene inside the Lizhi Lake Cave was not particularly surprising, although many streams of water converged to form incredible patterns. Zhulan carefully observed the surroundings, memorizing the scene inside the cave in her mind while recalling it.

The lake gods living in Lake Lizhi are probably the legendary Akonom, who symbolizes will.

Zhulan's hometown is a small town that has passed down the atmosphere and history of the past. In the center of Shenhe Town, there is still an ancient ancestral hall ruins preserved, named Shenhe Ruins.

The ruins include etched mural reliefs that describe the legends of the lake gods.

Since she was a child, Zhulan has developed a strong interest in these legends, and with the education of her grandmother, she became a mythology scholar when she grew up.

but.

The more people grow older, the clearer they will inevitably see some fantasies.

When she was a child, Zhulan would dream of having the opportunity to meet the gods of the lake. Until this moment, when she recalled this past again, Zhulan was shocked and realized in a trance that her dream was actually going to come true.

——This is all thanks to Nan Xian.

Zhulan looked at the white-haired girl not far in front of her, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

There was no need for Nan Xian to take me with her, but she probably understood my desire for these things, so she took this short trip.

While thinking, Zhulan saw Nan Xian stop in the dim light.

……

Nan Xian was still thinking that since there were guardians near the lakes where the first two lake gods lived, there might be special Pokémon in Lizhi Lake.

But the empty cavern interior was empty, save for the current of water, and even the gods of the lake had yet to show themselves.

Is it the difference between the times, or is it that Lizhi Lake itself is special?

Nan Xian didn't think for too long.

[——You sensed an incredible aura.]

In the quiet cave environment, not only Xie Mi stopped struggling, Zhu Lan also felt this wonderful atmosphere.

As an inexplicable vibration came from the palm of his hand, the handheld game console that was invisible to others issued a prompt. Nan Xian immediately raised his head and responded to the gaze that was looking at him across the void.

A flash of golden light.

"Qiu-hmm~!"

A blue and white figure landed in front of Nan Xian.

The Pokémon was floating in the air like a little fairy, with two tails with gems on the ends swaying in the air. Its eyes, which emitted golden light in the darkness, were looking at the girl.

“Aknom…”

Zhulan lowered the volume and whispered to herself. Her voice fell into Nanxian's ears, but the girl had no time to pay attention to it. Her heart was filled with another vague voice.

【I want to test your will. 】

No nonsense at all.

Akonom fully knew the purpose of Nanxian's arrival. Even if it was not in Xicui's time and space, but in modern times, it would still test the girl.

'Qiu-hmm!'

Just as Nan Xian was thinking about what kind of test Akonom, the symbol of will, would give him.

Akonom moved his body in mid-air and floated to a higher place.

[To prove that you have the will to never give up, let your Pokémon fight me. ]

The test of will is to fight with the god of the soul who symbolizes will.

When Nan Xian heard what Akonom said, his eyes had been following it, so he immediately reacted and opened the system panel.

——Aknom, level 50.

Nan Xian frowned.

Although the Lake Gods were not good at fighting, Nan Xian still remembered that in the simulation he was even able to suppress Akonom himself.

But Nan Xian still believed that the Gods of the Lake must have released the flood at that time, and his real strength should not be enough to resist the combined efforts of the three Gods of the Lake.

However, the system now tells Nan Xian directly and clearly that Akonom's level is only 50.

Even though the gods of the lake were created from the beginning just to bring emotions to life, they later hid in another dimension at the bottom of the lake, quietly maintaining the balance of the world.

But no matter what, they are all legendary Pokémon after all, and they all have the power to manipulate minds.

The level is only 50, is it possible?

Nan Xian buried his doubts in his heart.

She couldn't possibly ask the question directly.

——You are only level 50, which seems a bit weak.

Saying such words is a complete provocation. If Akonom is really annoyed, he might call his two companions over to show Nan Xian his real skills.

The thoughts in my mind speed up, but in reality it only takes a moment.

Akonom was still waiting for Nanxian's response, and behind the girl, although Zhulan could not hear the mental communication between Akonom and Nanxian, from Akonom's performance, she still noticed that the situation had changed.

"...Nan Xian?"

Zhulan asked in a low voice.

"What's going on here?"

"I want to accept Akonom's test."

Nan Xian loosened his hand, causing Xie Mi to lose his footing and fall to the ground, and then he answered Zhulan's question softly.

"It wants to test my will, and the process is for me to fight it."

The girl spoke lightly, but when her words fell into Zhulan's ears, the Sinnoh champion's eyes widened slightly and reacted for a moment.

Fight against the legendary god of the mind who symbolizes will!

Zhulan was surprised for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, she found that there was nothing particularly surprising about her.

Nan Xian's performance has always been special and has always attracted all kinds of legendary beings.

Such as the legendary big bird, the legendary darkness, and now, there is a legendary god of will. Even if she is going to fight against her, she doesn't need to be too surprised.

Instead of dwelling on the reasons, it would be better to take a closer look at how Nan Xian is going to fight against Akonom.

Zhulan curled up the corners of her mouth inadvertently, crossed her arms across her chest, took a few steps back, and acted as a witness with an attitude of watching a good show.

Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to go!

Nan Xian also discarded the unnecessary thoughts in his mind.

She has completed the second test of the God of the Heart.

Whether facing Uxie, the god of knowledge, or Emrido, the god of emotions.

The former only asks a simple question, but the latter requires Nan Xian to question his true heart and give a sincere answer.

If the difficulty of the tests increases, the third test requires facing Akonom itself, which is also within Nanxian's expectations to some extent.

Willpower is inherently more difficult to prove than knowledge or emotion.

Nan Xian had no distractions and immediately took out the fragrant Gracitia flower from his backpack and placed it in front of Shemi.

Xie Mi was still confused at first, but when he saw Nan Xian's actions, he subconsciously sniffed.

The next second, light bloomed on Xie Mi!

It was the first time that Zhulan saw Xiemi change his form. When the light faded, Xiemi, who looked like a little deer, stepped on the soil in the cave and kept calling out.

"Jamie~!"

"Why do we have to fight all of a sudden?!"

Xie Mi in the sky form triggered telepathy again. His first reaction was to look at the air, shrink his head and complain to Nan Xian.

"Besides, Shaymi feels like he can't beat it, why don't we find someone else..."

"It is because you always have this thought in mind that you must face the test of Aqnom."

Nan Xian's mouth twitched slightly.

"Get ready!"

"Jamie..."

Xiemi wanted to say something, but he also felt that Nan Xian was determined not to change people. Now that things had come to this, Xiemi still faced Akonom while shaking his head.

——That’s right.

A faint golden glow flashed in Nan Xian's eyes.

Akonom's requirements do not include defeating it. As the god of will, it just wants to witness whether Nanxian and her Pokémon can show their will.

If you give up simply because you feel you can't win, there's no chance of success with that kind of will!

Fortunately, Xie Mi only complained a few words and did not disappoint Nan Xian's expectations.

"Jamie!"
