"Ah, I lost today. Using telepathy to command people is just too unfair," Nemo said casually.
"Didn't Senior Sister also change Babutop's Crystalline to Steel type in order to counter Gardevoir?" Wei Xin retorted.
"Sorry, it's my fault," Piper said.
Wei Xin and Nemo exchanged a smile.
There's an honest guy in our team.
"But 1v1 matches are still a bit unsatisfying. It would be great if we could have a 6v6 match." Nemo said with lingering enthusiasm, "I'm getting more and more excited for the Eastern Empire Tournament."
The four rushed to the school clinic.
While waiting for her Pokémon to recover its strength, Nemo tried to catch a passing wild college student for a battle, but unfortunately failed.
Nobody wants to be sent back home right after leaving the hospital.
"The students in Donghuang still lack a passion for Pokémon battles," Nemo lamented.
"Your love for Pokémon battles is too much," Piper complained. "Not everyone is like you, raising more than twenty Pokémon at once, sending your team to rest one round and immediately pulling out a new team for the next round."
Padia's students were traumatized by Nemo in the same way, and eventually avoided her at all costs, causing Nemo to believe for a time that she was being ostracized by her classmates.
Piper even suspected that Nemo's stamina limit was reduced because they were afraid she would exhaust her Pokémon to death.
"Speaking of which, what Pokémon does Wei Xin keep?" Nemo asked curiously.
"I don't know, you should ask him yourself," Piper said, pointing to the side.
Wei Xin stood in front of the computer, seeking advice from Shirona on archaeology.
"So, Cynthia, what Pokémon do you choose to bring when you go on an archaeological expedition?"
Many trainers raise Pokémon that are related to their second profession.
For example, Steven, Metagross's four arms can carry things, and it can also clear the way with Aggron. Besides these, there are various fossil Pokémon.
Cynthia said, "I usually bring Garchomp to clear the way, Lucario to navigate and keep watch, Togekiss to fly steadily and help me escape quickly from underground, and Gastrodon's body fluids are corrosive and can play an unexpected role."
"I see." Inspired, Wei Xin began to think about which Pokémon he should bring.
"Then I'll have to reorganize the lineup too," Nemo said.
"Speaking of which, Kyoto University is already preparing to excavate the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum. Should we go after they finish?" Piper asked.
Wei Xin crossed his arms and pondered for a moment: "Who knows when they'll be digging? We can't wait that long. I'll contact the alliance and see if they can force us into the archaeological team."
After saying that, Wei Xin took out his phone and dialed the number of the person in charge of the alliance.
The alliance leader still owes him a lot of favors. Favors are not a shield; if you don't use them when you need them, they're meaningless.
"A direct airdrop? I feel like we'll run into a lot of trouble."
Piper wasn't worried about Wei Xin's abilities and influence, but rather about the possibility of them being targeted within the archaeological team. He turned to look at his companions around him.
Sinnoh Champion and archaeologist Cynthia, Nemo, the Padia Champion from the Kyoto school team, and Hunter J, who led the team to save Hoenn, discovered the Zero Mine, and dealt with the Xiangxi incident.
This lineup —
Piper twitched the corner of his mouth.
What exactly am I worried about?
Are you worried that these people will cause too much trouble and demolish the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum?
Shortly after, Wei Xin put down his phone. The alliance had approved their application to temporarily join the archaeological team, or rather, they were eager for them to join the team to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.
All we need to do is wait for the other party to officially start construction.
During their conversation, Wei Xin noticed a message on his phone. After confirming it, he looked at the other three and asked, "Are you guys free later?"
When the four arrived at Wei Xin's villa, they found a large white truck parked in front of it, with the Ethereum Foundation's logo painted on it.
Logo.
The equipment from the Aether Foundation has arrived.
The moment they saw Wei Xin, two employees of the Ether Foundation, dressed in white bodysuits and carrying four large white suitcases, stepped out of the truck and bowed: "Dear Advisor, the protective suits you requested have been delivered."
The two handed the briefcase to Wei Xin and Pai Pa.
"Thank you for your hard work," Wei Xin said.
"The chairman asked me to pass on a message to you!" An employee coughed and spoke in Rosamund's tone, winking and smiling, "I wish my dear advisor a safe journey."
After saying that, the two drove away in their truck.
"It's dangerous inside the First Emperor's Mausoleum. These are protective suits that I asked the Ether Foundation to prepare. You can try them out when you get back."
Based on the markings on the suitcase, Wei Xin confirmed the style of the protective suits and distributed the other three suits to Pipa, Nemo, and Shirona.
Taking the briefcase, Cynthia asked, "Wei Xin, when did you become an advisor to the Ether Foundation?"
Although outsiders consider Lusamine a great philanthropist dedicated to protecting Pokémon, as a fellow woman, she doesn't have a good feeling about Lusamine.
Could it be that the woman lied to Wei Xin under the guise of protecting Pokémon?
"Not long ago, I met with the chairperson of the Ether Foundation in Xiangxi, and then she seemed to be eyeing me—" Wei Xin paused.
"What do you crave?" Cynthia asked expressionlessly, her tone flat.
Pipa became alert. Had Wei Xin accidentally said something wrong?
Oh no, this is a chaotic scene!
Paipati Weixin broke out in a cold sweat.
Brother, watch your words.
"She was a little tempted by my brain and the knowledge in it, and then she made a condition that I couldn't refuse. You know, college students in Donghuang tend to work part-time while studying."
"If Lusamine knew you called her a brain-eating zombie, she might fire you on the spot," Cynthia teased with a laugh. She could understand Lusamine's perspective.
Who could resist the allure of the knowledge Wei Xin possessed?
He then lowered his head and sighed self-pityingly, "Sigh, someone refused to be my teaching assistant before. If someone had helped me, maybe I wouldn't have to worry about the students failing the exams."
Wei Xin was a little confused. Wait, no, it's been over a hundred chapters since the assistant coach incident. How can you, the champion of Sinnoh, be so vengeful?
Until she noticed Cynthia blinking her beautiful eyes and looking at her expectantly.
It dawned on me.
She didn't feel disappointed at all.
It's about being coquettish, but not the kind of soft, whiny, and cutesy way of snuggling into a man's arms.
Instead, she evokes a sense of guilt in the boy with just a few words, making him want to make amends. Seemingly showing weakness, she actually completely takes the initiative, making it an irresistible act of coquetry.
That's way too high a rank.
Wei Xin felt ashamed. On his way home, he encountered a black-hearted cabbage that could be sweet or salty, hot or cold, and was as strong as a monster when it acted cute and charming. He tried his best but couldn't defeat it and could only admit defeat.
"Next time for sure," Wei Xin said solemnly. "No matter what happens next time, I will definitely help you."
I feel like I've set a really big goal for myself.
Cynthia flashed a victorious smile: "It's a deal, a gentleman's word is his bond!"
At the same time, they began to think about what to make Wei Xin do next.
After returning home, Wei Xin stood in the yard.
Yanre Miao tumbled and crawled to Wei Xin, giving him a silly smile.
"Thank you for looking after the house." Wei Xin bent down and scratched Yanre Miao's chin.
-
Hot Cat purred contentedly, a joyful smile on its face.
Sylveon jumped out of its Poké Ball and, without a word, took over the Trainer's other hand.
"Alright, alright, I'll spend time with you guys after I've finished dealing with this."
After Wei Xin had patted the two little creatures until they were comfortable, he stood up and threw out a Poké Ball.
Charcoal Servant and Money-Seeking Spirit appeared in the courtyard.
"Crack!" Tan Xiaoshi excitedly slammed his fists together, looking ready to pounce.
Finally, there's Princess Diancie, whom we haven't seen in a long time.
As a Rock-type Pokémon, Diancie is very well-suited to underground environments, so Wei Xin called her over.
Besides that, there's the most important thing: he misses Diancie.
"Lord Wei Xin, it's been a long time." Tianxi elegantly lifted her skirt.
Sylveon and Gardevoir stared wide-eyed; Diancie had changed drastically in the time they hadn't seen her.
After leaving the coal mine and changing her living environment, Diancie has shed her black shell and become an ordinary Diancie.
As the saying goes, fair skin covers a hundred flaws. Although Diancie and the word "ugly" are completely unrelated, it has to be admitted that Diancie's appearance has improved by going from dark to fair skin. However, she has gone from being dazzling to ordinary, a decline in her rarity. Wei Xin doesn't know whether to be happy or regretful.
"How's the situation at Diamond Kingdom?"
"Thanks to you, the little diamonds have settled down underground, and I can finally rest for a while," Tianxi said, skipping and hopping over to Wei Xin, excitedly throwing herself into his arms.
She whispered in his ear, "And I miss you too."
