So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 312 Black Rayquaza: Call me Bald-Tailed Old Li again and I'll cut off your tail!

Wei Xin picked up the ancient Poké Ball from the ground. In terms of craftsmanship and appearance, it was similar to the Poké Ball of the Thunder Drum, with only some minor differences. For example, both of them were carved with decorative patterns, but the Thunder Drum's patterns were the Taoist Bagua patterns, indicating that the Thunder Drum had some connection with Taoism.

The ancient Poké Ball in Wei Xin's hand was engraved with Taotie and thundercloud patterns.

"What's going on? Does this mean you've already cleared the game?" Cynthia asked, puzzled. "Is this Rayquaza's Ancient Poké Ball? Why are there gluttonous and thundercloud patterns engraved on it?"

"No way, I haven't even had a chance to do anything yet!" Nemo's hands fell limply to her sides, and she sighed as she looked up. She had been carried to victory last time, but this time she didn't even have that chance.

"I don't know," Wei Xin looked up.

In the sky, Hupa angrily expanded the ring and clenched his fists until they cracked: "As the guardian beast of the Qin Dynasty, how dare you disobey the proclamation and disregard His Majesty's care for you? I think you're asking for a beating. Fine, I'll drag you out of the Heilongjiang River."

With its chest out and arms outstretched, its little tail whipped like a propeller as it charged into the portal. About half a second later, it was bounced out. It had no wounds on its body, so it didn't seem like it had been hit, but rather that it had been rejected by the portal.

"What happened?" Pipa asked curiously.

Cynthia thought for a moment, then said almost involuntarily, "Perhaps he can't get in from this side of the door."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xin felt a chill run down his spine: "Don't say that, I'm allergic to that kind of talk."

"Speaking of which, Hoopa mentioned Heilongjiang earlier. Could it be that the 'Black Dragon' in Heilongjiang is Rayquaza?" Nemo thought for a moment and realized something was off. She had seen Rayquaza in the Hoenn event data. "Rayquaza isn't black, so could this Rayquaza have immigrated from Luna City?"

Why does the word "black" immediately bring to mind Lucerne? What has become of Carlos now?

"The 'Striped Rayquaza' is black," Wei Xin explained, "and the origin of Heilongjiang is also related to local legends."

Upon hearing about the new legend, Cynthia immediately became interested. Unfortunately, she didn't have any cola, popcorn, or ice cream on hand, so she could only rest her chin on her hand and blink her bright eyes: "Tell me more."

In the sky, Hoopa, Magiyana, and Huayeti were discussing the matter on the other side of the teleportation portal, but they couldn't reach a conclusion. So Weixin sat down and explained the local legends to everyone.

"To put it simply, it was about a peasant woman in Shandong who was pregnant for twelve months and gave birth to a little black dragon that could drive clouds and bring rain, so that the local village would no longer be affected by drought. However, the peasant woman's husband was afraid of this little black dragon. One day, he could not bear it any longer and cut off the little black dragon's tail with a knife. The little black dragon was so frightened that it fled Shandong and hid in the Bailong River at that time."

"Poor little black dragon," Nemo said with sympathy.

"A vicious white dragon lived in the Bailong River, constantly causing storms and harming the local people. It even ate a pair of young girls every day. When a little black dragon arrived, it couldn't stand the white dragon's actions and fought it for three days and three nights. The battle was so fierce that the heavens and earth changed color and the sun and moon reversed. In the end, the black dragon was no match for the white dragon. When the local people saw this, they all offered their help. When they saw the black dragon, they threw buns to help it recover its strength, and when they saw the white dragon, they threw stones at it."

"I can understand throwing steamed buns, but throwing stones? Is that even useful against the White Dragon?" Nemo, who is completely clueless about sports, couldn't understand it.

"What if someone could throw a stone at 165 kilometers per hour?"

Before the invention of the Poké Ball, ancient people fought wild Pokémon with their bare hands; they truly could not survive without fighting.

So, don't underestimate the physique of the super ancient Donghuang people, you bastard! "That's alright then."

"Finally, with the help of the local people, the Black Dragon defeated the White Dragon. From then on, the White Dragon River was renamed the Black Dragon River. The Black Dragon was welcomed and worshipped by the locals. However, since it is a local legend, there may be some artistic embellishment. For example, the legend says that a peasant woman gave birth to a little black dragon. It is possible that she found it or hatched the little black dragon."

"So that black dragon is Shiny Rayquaza?" Cynthia asked.

"Judging from the situation, it should be. Actually, he also has a more down-to-earth name, because the black dragon's tail was cut off, and his father's surname is Li —"

Nemo: "So his name is Li Heilong, or Li Weiba?"

Pipa: "This name is so down-to-earth!"

Wei Xin shook his head and revealed the cruel truth: "Actually, the locals call him Bald-tailed Old Li."

The portal in the sky, connecting to a certain location in Heilongjiang, trembled for a moment.

Cynthia, Pipa, Nemo:

This name is not just down-to-earth, it's practically from the underworld.

"Since the black dragon is a shiny Rayquaza, what about the white dragon?" Cynthia recalled the Unova treasure that the Great Magician had entrusted to her for safekeeping. According to the information, that Pokémon was also a white dragon. "Reshiram?"

"It shouldn't be. If the white dragon is Reshiram, then the black dragon is Zekrom." Wei Xin held up the Ancient Poké Ball and pointed to the patterns on it.

"This is called the Taotie pattern, which is a type of animal pattern. It refers to a creature in the legends of the Eastern Empire. Tao means greed for money and gluttony. According to the Ether Foundation, the Taotie recorded in the ancient Eastern Empire should refer to a special Pokémon from another world, known as the Guts King."

"This Pokémon has two characteristics. First, it can eat endlessly and is never full. Second, it has the ability Beast Boost, which permanently increases its highest stat after defeating an opponent. It is a very dangerous Pokémon."

"What a scary Pokémon! Wei Xin, how did you know?" Nemo asked curiously.

"Otherwise, why do you think I became an advisor to the Ether Foundation?"

Nemo glanced at Wei Xin's face and teased with a smile, "His good looks?"

Pipa agreed, "Half beauty and half wisdom."

Wei Xin:

I was praised, but why can't I feel happy at all?

Cynthia recalled the scroll Lusamine held during the freshman competition at the Magic University: "But the Gluttony King isn't white either."

"The 'Odd Colored Devourer' is white," Wei Xin said.

"Where did you get this knowledge from?" Cynthia became suspicious. From the five thousand years of history of the Eastern Empire to local legends and information from other worlds, how could an ordinary person know this?

The knowledge in Wei Xin's mind was no longer obscure or peculiar; it had even reached the level of the bizarre.

"You might not believe it, but these are all things I dreamed about."

"Really?" Cynthia squinted, staring intently into Wei Xin's eyes.

"Absolutely genuine!" Wei Xin said with a serious expression, his eyes revealing nothing but honesty.

As the nightmare memories from the exam hall returned, he began to deduce the true nature of the knowledge in his mind, or rather, the cheat code.

"Let's assume you're telling the truth." Cynthia suppressed her curiosity and said indifferently. At this point, it didn't matter where Wei Xin's knowledge came from, as long as it was useful.

"So, do you need us to go to Heilongjiang to help?"

Wei Xin looked up and asked the old minister of the Qin Dynasty who was still discussing for a long time without reaching a conclusion. He wondered if the absence of Rayquaza might be due to a situation in Heilongjiang.

"No need, let Magearna and Florito go check first." Hoopa rejected Wei Xin's proposal. Letting Wei Xin go see Dark Rayquaza? What a joke! Bribing or tempting the examiner is illegal. "Rayquaza wants you to keep his Poké Ball safe for now. He'll send you a message using the Poké Ball if he needs anything."

"Okay," Wei Xin accepted Hu Pa's proposal, "Then what about the exam? Will I pass directly?"

"How could that be? Your second and third exams have been postponed." Hupa covered his mouth and chuckled. At least until the exams were over, the treasures in this tomb did not belong to Wei Xin.

Hupa will safeguard the wealth of the Great Qin: "Go back and wait for further instructions."

Wei Xin's expression was complicated. As everyone knows, waiting for a notification usually means two things: either your boss is going to bother you, or your interviewer is going to reject you. Hu Pa was clearly referring to the latter.

At least in the short term, he will not be able to inherit the Qin Dynasty's legacy.

"Alright."

Wei Xin didn't care about this. Anyway, he had already obtained what he needed in this operation: a new energy core, a special soul heart, the evolution of Charcoal Servant and Money-Seeking Spirit, and he also obtained Darkrai and Magearna, as well as a lot of information.

As for inheriting the Qin Dynasty, he had received a lot of favors from his ancestors. He was just doing his bidding for money and taking care of things for his ancestors.

The other three also received the rewards they wanted and gladly accepted the proposal.

Hoopa opened a portal, first sending the powerful Pokémon from the tomb to the map to battle Nemo, then having a Metagross carry Cynthia to visit the tomb, and finally opening a portal back to the villa.

"Then let's go back and make dinner."

As Piper entered the portal, Wei Xin had just lifted his leg when a Mega Metagross slid to the portal entrance, reached out, and grabbed Wei Xin's collar.

"Hey, what's going on?" Wei Xin, who had misspoke, was pulled back to the map.

"Mehta!"

It was the other-colored Metagross that had carried Magiana earlier, and it was also the leader of the twelve Metagross.

"Want to come with me, or do you want to have a battle with me?" Wei Xin tilted his head, his knuckles cracking. Legend has it that Qin Shi Huang collected weapons from all over the world and cast twelve bronze statues. Now, it should refer to twelve Metagross monsters that can still Mega Evolve even without a trainer.

I wonder which is stronger, these Metagross or Steven's Metagross.

"Then you'd better be careful," Hoopa warned from the sky. "This giant golden monster was once the chief instructor of the Qin Iron Cavalry. He killed more enemies on the battlefield than you have ever seen."

"Meta~" Metagross shook its body, or rather, its head, which was its body. It raised one paw and pointed to Gardevoir's Poké Ball at Wei Xin's waist. It then raised both paws above its head, making a gesture of tensing its muscles to strengthen its body.

"You want to help me train Gardevoir?"

"Meta!" Metagross shook its body up and down, slamming its fists together.

Young man, do you crave power?
