So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 314 Gladio: Wei Xin, you son of a bitch, where did you come from? Is this still Yunnan?

Chapter 314 Gladio: Wei Xin, you son of a bitch, where did you come from? Is this still Yunnan?

Darkrai was dumbfounded. Having lived for thousands of years, he knew that Wei Xin was bold, after all, he was someone who dared to commit suicide in a dream when he was extremely angry. But he never expected that Wei Xin would be so bold as to knock on Arceus's door.

That's the creator god, the biological father of those two mad dragons!

Is this how you're supposed to use Hoopa's ring?

Wei Xin tried three times in a row, drawing Arceus's appearance in his mind each time, but no portal opened in front of him. He was certain that his drawing was very detailed, from the limbs to the body to the eyes, but there was no reaction.

There was no physical exertion whatsoever; it was as if I had dialed a number that was not in use.

"Hmm—" Wei Xin began to ponder. Was the ring merely an ornament, or was his ability insufficient to open the portal to Arceus, or perhaps—

He took the notebook out from under his arm, opened it, and found records related to Arceus.

Or is Arceus independent of the world, unaffected by time and space, and has abandoned this world, without distinction between the future, past, and present?

Because it's a corrupted file?

"Damn it, there's no one to back us up!" Wei Xin sighed helplessly, feeling utterly lost.

"What about Giratina? As one of Arceus's half-bodies, will Giratina be affected?" Wei Xin asked curiously.

"Wait, stop, stop, don't try anymore." Seeing Wei Xin's enthusiasm, Darkrai became anxious, floated out of the shadows, and took Wei Xin's hand.

No, brother, you mustn't.

Darkrai had met Giratina and even fought with her. He had faked his death and escaped from the Distortion World during the chaos.

"Although I'm waiting for you to die, you didn't have to be so reckless. If you encounter Giratina, I'm not sure I can save you."

"Just kidding." Wei Xin had a childlike smile on his face, innocent and pure.

Arceus was alright; although he was the creator god, he had a relatively good temper. Even the real Arceus was still awake and started grumbling in bed: "Wei Xin, you mother—"

Giving it a ground-type stone slab might allow Arceus to fall off a cliff, and it might even drop a gold coin, which it can then use to craft a little alpaca for itself.

But Giratina is different. Its brutality is written in the Pokédex. In the real world, it's okay. A few legendary Pokémon working together can defeat Giratina, but if you get dragged into its reverse world...

Giratina: With Arceus gone, I'm invincible!

In today's world, no one can truly cure it.

Darkrai wiped away imaginary cold sweat from his forehead. "Your joke is a bit dangerous," he said earnestly. "We can take it easy and start with insignificant small roles or the most nearby ones. There has to be a gradual process."

"Let's ask the seller for the instruction manual," Wei Xin said, sticking his head into the portal and looking at Hoopa, who was leisurely eating energy cubes in the sky. "How do you use this ring?"

"Ha," Huba scoffed, "figure it out yourself."

"Unscrupulous merchants," Wei Xin muttered to himself.

Just then, Pipa emerged from the portal, pulling a cart full of documents into the room. After laying them down, the bamboo slips piled up into a small mountain in the room.

"Are those... recipes? There are so many?"

"Yes, it has famous dishes from the Qin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, as well as local specialties, all collected by Magiyana," Papa said enthusiastically, flipping through a Yunnan local cookbook. "Let's have mushrooms tonight. I'll go to the market later to see if I can find some suitable ingredients."

"I'll take you there," Wei Xin said, raising his hand and drawing a circle in the air.

I need a place where I can get food.

He had a strange feeling, as if the barrier between his current location and the place he wanted to go had been pierced by a straw.

The next second, a point of light appeared, moving through the air like a zipper along Wei Xin's rotating arm. Its trail formed a high-speed rotating halo of light with a diameter of two meters, tearing through space and bringing with it a shower of dazzling sparks.

Wei Xin's mental and physical strength were instantly depleted by about a quarter. He was somewhat surprised that the teleportation portal required more energy than he had imagined. It was just a trip to the vegetable market. He continued until he saw the location of the teleportation portal.

It's not a farmers' market.

On the other side of the aperture is a forest.

In the forest, an old man and a young man, both dressed in Taoist robes, strolled through the mountains.

"Master, why are we picking so many mushrooms?" Gragio bounced the bamboo basket on his back, the whole basket full of wild mushrooms making a "clanging" sound. They had eaten so many mushrooms in Yunnan that they were sick of them, so a hamburger with vegetables, meat and seasonings was like a Manchu Han Imperial Feast to them.

"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed." Master Chen said, counting on his fingers with a meaningful expression.

Gladgio rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "Master, you can't reveal this or say that. If you don't use your mouth, you might as well hand it over to the country." Finally, he sighed and asked, "When are we going back to Wudang?"

"We won't be going back to Wudang for now; we're going to Shanghai on business."

"Go report on the progress of the Dynamax research? Then I'll book my flight now."

Gladgio excitedly pulled out his phone, thinking that he could finally leave this awful place. He couldn't stand this life anymore, where he would run into a shrew every few steps, get his face covered in hypnotic and poison powder, and then a big bug would fall from the tree, either spitting silk or venom.

During his time in the mountains, he was forced to learn even waveguides, and could even use them as radar.

"No need, someone will take us back. Let's just book a hotel. Judging by the time, we should be there soon. Let's get the mud off our shoes first, so we don't get their villa dirty."

"Huh?" Gladgio frowned in confusion, thinking to himself, "Master, you've eaten too many mushrooms and are hallucinating. Where did this villa come from in the middle of nowhere?"

Before he could even open his mouth to complain, a magnificent circular gate unfolded before the two of them in the dark forest. Behind the gate was a brightly lit villa, and inside the room, Wei Xin stared at the two of them with a bewildered expression.

Where is this supposed to be a farmers market? What kind of place is this?!

Gladio was also confused. He rubbed his eyes and asked, "What's going on? Did the mushrooms I ate for lunch not cook properly?"

"Young friend Wei Xin, it's been a long time." The Taoist priest, having anticipated this, stepped into the villa and bowed respectfully.

"Taoist Master? What brings you here?" Wei Xin asked in confusion, then slapped his forehead. He was the one who had pulled the two of them over, but the Taoist Master seemed to have expected it.

Could it be that this was also part of your calculations, Taoist priest?

"Fate is truly wondrous. I've come to deliver some local produce from Yunnan to you." The Taoist priest put down the basket on his back, which was full of wild mushrooms. He smiled broadly. "It's just a small token of my appreciation. These are all edible mushrooms, but you must handle them carefully. If you eat the wrong thing or say the wrong thing, things might get out of control."

"And this too."

The Taoist priest rummaged through the basket, took out three large pink mushrooms, and handed them to Wei Xin.

Wei Xin immediately recognized the mushroom's species: "A Gigantamax mushroom?"

A special ingredient, when made into Dynamax Soup, can enable certain Pokémon to enter Gigantamax form.

"Young friend, you are indeed knowledgeable," the Taoist priest praised. "We found these in Yunnan, and we still have some left. These three can make a bowl of soup, so we'll give them to you."

"I can't accept this." Wei Xin smiled and accepted the three Dynamax mushrooms, intending to make soup. It just so happens that Brimwyn also has the ability to Gigantamax. "Could it be that the Eastern Empire can also Gigantamax now?"

"The time is not yet ripe," Master Chen said, "but it's not far off."

Upon entering the villa, the blinding lights and the solid, clean tiles beneath his feet, instead of soft, muddy ground, caused Gladgio to freeze, his mouth agape in disbelief: "Wei Xin, you...this...huh?"

He was so surprised that he was incoherent.

No, Wei Xin, what did you do? Where did you come from?

"Don't ask," Wei Xin shrugged, looking completely innocent. "I don't understand it myself."

But he quickly put that matter aside and began to entertain the guests who had come from afar: "Master, why don't you stay for dinner tonight?"

"No, no," Master Chen said with a troubled expression. "We've eaten too many mushrooms in Yunnan these past few days. Grazio and I need to get something to cleanse our stomachs, so we won't bother you any longer. Wait a minute, don't close the door yet, there are still people here."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xin blinked. "I didn't say we'd be eating mushrooms tonight. The Taoist priest's fortune-telling is just too amazing."

After lowering his hand from closing the door, a short figure carrying a large bunch of mushrooms ran into the room. He dropped the mushrooms on the ground, stood next to Gladgio, and politely bowed to everyone with a determined look in his eyes.

It is a small bear with beige hair, standing on two legs, with white hair hanging down behind its head, as if it is wearing a white headband.

"Bear Apprentice?" Wei Xin exclaimed in surprise. A Pokémon that can evolve into a level 2 Divine Martial Arts Urshifu. "This is your Pokémon."

"Of course, it was a gift from my master." Seeing Wei Xin's envious expression, Gladio straightened his back and thought to himself, "What goes around comes around. After you've been putting on an act for so many times, it's finally my turn to shine. Wei Xin, you've finally met your match."

Before Gladion could keep up its act for long, a mechanical Pokémon carrying a mop and on wheels slid up to Gladion's feet and said, "Sir, could you please lift your foot? Thank you."

Upon seeing the Pokémon's true form, Gladion inhaled the air he had just exhaled, nearly choking. After finally catching his breath, he asked in confusion, "Magnea?"

Moreover, this is not your average Magearna; it's a Shiny Ancient Magearna. The black paint and gold trim on its body give it an aura of nobility. This is beyond rare; it's a Pokémon that's no longer available!

"Yours?" Gladio's eyes widened.

"Yes, it's mine." Wei Xin said calmly.

"Isn't it a realistic-looking toy sold in a shopping mall?"

"no."

"It's not Ditto or Zoroark in disguise?" Gladion confirmed.

"no."

"Want me to come out and show off?" Darkrai asked mischievously from the shadows.

Wei Xin shook his head: Forget it, forget it, it wouldn't be good if I shattered my brother-in-law's resolve.

Gladion turned his head again and looked at Wei Xin's yard. The previous Charcoal Knight had evolved into Crimson Armored Knight. Its hands were clasped together, and its armor was pieced together to form a golden cannon. The energy gathered at the muzzle turned into flames that shot straight into the sky. Sai Fuhao lay on his side in the yard, indulging in debauchery, and the scattered sparks hitting his body had no effect.

The portal behind them also appears to have been opened by Wei Xin.

It takes several hours to fly from Shanghai to Yunnan.

He thought that by accompanying his master on his training in Yunnan, he had learned wilderness survival skills and some self-defense techniques, and even made significant progress in his Aura training, achieving rapid advancement and mastering telepathic communication with Pokémon. But compared to Wei Xin—

Dude, how did you do that? You must be cheating!

Have some decency.

Seeing that Gladio was discouraged, Gaba tilted his head and exhaled a wisp of white smoke with facial features on it. Master Chen secretly chuckled to himself.

You little brat, you just tickled me with your cricket.

Ignoring Glagio, who had lost its color and turned into snow-white ash, scattered on the ground and swept away by Magiana, Wei Xin turned to the Taoist priest and asked, "Does Wudang still accept students?"

Master, I also want a bear disciple, preferably two, one with Water Flow Strike and the other with Dark Nether Strike.
