Chapter 108 Encounters Between People
The next morning, Ibu loosened the blanket in her hands, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and crawled out of bed. As her blurry vision gradually cleared, a familiar face appeared in front of her.
His features were so sharp that you couldn't forget them at first glance, his face was as soft as the warm winter sun, and his hair was as thick as a jungle midnight.
Woohoo!
Is it a trainer? Why is a trainer next to me? Am I dreaming?
Eevee's eyes slowly widened as she realized that she wasn't an unwanted Eevee; she had a trainer, she had a home.
Eevee quietly reached out and poked the trainer's face. It carefully pulled the trainer's entire face towards itself, and its eyes widened in amazement.
Can anyone tell me why my trainer's parents are so good-looking?
Eevee chuckled to itself, then, upon seeing the trainer's face, inexplicably turned away.
Ibrahimovic stretched his neck, looked away, and met a pair of amber eyes.
It was Ralts. Ralts used her psychic powers to change the direction of the trainer's face.
Honestly, you've been watching for so many days, what's wrong with letting me watch a little longer?
Eevee tightened its grip slightly, pulling the trainer's face closer to itself again. Ralts, not to be outdone, knew that this was the only time she could openly peek at her trainer each day, so she increased the power of her psychic abilities.
As the two struggled, Wei Xin's face swayed back and forth on the pillow like a pendulum.
Until Wei Xin, still asleep, frowned.
Oh no, they woke up their trainer! The two little guys shrank back under the covers, their eyes tightly shut.
Why do I feel so dizzy?
Wei Xin reached out and rubbed his furrowed brow.
Perhaps yesterday's fight was too intense, and my body is a bit overburdened.
Turning his head, Wei Xin glanced at the two little ones sleeping soundly beside him and yawned: "The two little ones are sleeping quite soundly. I hope a kiss now won't be noticed."
What did the trainer just say?!
Eevee closed its eyes tightly, its ears perked up, and it felt its trainer gently whisper in its ear.
"Next time you pretend to be asleep, remember to keep your little tail in check."
Opening its eyes, Eevee saw its trainer get up and leave, with Ralts following closely behind. It turned its head, raised its paw, and slapped its tail, which had been wriggling on the bed like a caterpillar out of control.
It's all your fault.
After breakfast, Wei Xin entrusted Eevee's Poké Ball to Mari for safekeeping, because he didn't have a Pokédex yet, and according to the rules, he couldn't have a second Pokémon without permission.
However, as a trainer, Marie has the backing of Galar Gym Leader Nie Zi and the Galar League, so she is not subject to similar restrictions.
They are going to attend the opening ceremony of the freshman competition today.
Because Hunter J has had a huge impact on the city, the Shanghai authorities want to divert the attention of ordinary people and need a sufficiently exciting event. Fortunately, today is the perfect day for such an event.
The freshman competition at Magic University.
This is Hunter J, who, to give you a better viewing experience, used a Mega Kick to kick away the school leader who was nagging on the podium, bringing you an exhibition match between Sinnoh Champion Cynthia and Unova Ghost Elite Four member.
Say, "Thank you, Hunter J."
At the same time, it was broadcast live nationwide, showcasing its full potential.
To maximize the impact of the publicity, the student union even worked overnight to produce several promotional materials, which were then distributed online, on various platforms, and in city squares.
Nowadays in Shanghai, whether on the subway, in supermarkets, on the way to the Shanghai University Gymnasium, or on the electronic screen at the entrance of the gymnasium, you can hear the GG video that the student union painstakingly edited for her.
Because they were the ones who helped create Hunter J and caused the incident, Wei Xin and Mary received VIP tickets from the school. On their way to the special audience seats, Wei Xin encountered Wan Long and Cynthia in disguise. The two of them were looking up and staring intently at GG on the electronic screen above their heads.
"Cynthia, the woman among women, the trainer among trainers, the ruler among women, the queen of women, the terminator of women, the king, the master, the goddess, the emperor, the demon king, the overwhelming woman, the immortal pinnacle of the League! Cynthia..."
I already said we shouldn't let Gen Z be in charge of propaganda!
Wanlong nudged a puzzled-looking Cynthia with his elbow: "How would you rate her, Peak Sister?"
"It was done with great care, but the publicity was a bit exaggerated," Cynthia said.
[Forget that this woman puts all her intelligence points into combat and mythology research; in everything else, she's just a complete airhead.]
Wanlong shrank back, turned her head, and saw Wei Xin and Mary walking towards her.
"Hey, Teacher Wei Xin, over here!" Wanlong waved excitedly to Wei Xin, "How are you feeling?"
"Thanks to you and Miss Cynthia, there's nothing to worry about," Wei Xin said politely.
"Ah, it's the student from the spaceship before. This is the third time we've met." Cynthia smiled, looking at the Ralts in Wei Xin's arms. "Is this Ralts your Pokémon? You've raised her very well."
Three times? Wei Xin looked puzzled. After leaving Xirona and arriving in Donghuang, he couldn't resist the urge to... oops, I mean, he was so excited that he opened his own box overnight. The only times he had met her were probably once on the spaceship, the one time now, and the meeting room... hiss!
Hey, where's the blue flashlight? Help!
At this moment, Wei Xin looked at Cynthia's smile again and read a hint of teasing in it.
What happened to the promised all-natural, additive-free, and affordable product? Is she really that dishonest?
"Yes," Wei Xin said, "I hatched it myself, and it's my first family member."
"Ralts!" As if to show the intimacy between herself and her trainer, Ralts hugged Wei Xin's neck tightly, staring warily at the woman in front of her.
"Bue!" Eevee jumped out of its Poké Ball, clung to Wei Xin's clothes, climbed all the way to his shoulder, raised its chin, and proudly puffed out its chest.
"Looks like you're quite popular with Pokémon," Cynthia said with a smile, the scene before her reminding her of when she had just hatched Gible.
"Who is the girl next to you?"
"My name is Marie, and I'm a trainer from Galar," Marie said naturally. As the sister of a Gym Leader, she had met many Gym Leaders, Elite Four members, and Champions.
"Galar? You're Nie Zi's sister, right? I heard President Rose mention you when I was chatting with him before. He said that a Dark-type trainer with great potential has emerged from Galar. After seeing him with my own eyes, I realized that what he said was true. I look forward to you achieving good results in the Eastern League Tournament."
"Yes, I will try my best," Mary said excitedly.
As a senior trainer, after offering encouragement to the younger trainer, Cynthia looked at Wanlong and changed the subject: "But why did you call Weixin 'teacher' just now, Wanlong?"
"Ah, he's the author of the novel 'The Gods' that I introduced to you before," Wanlong said. "He's quite young, isn't he?"
"He wrote 'The Protoss'? I thought the author would be an old professor with a full head of white hair."
Cynthia leaned closer, scrutinizing Wei Xin with a hint of interest in her eyes: "You are indeed very young. Are you a student majoring in mythology and history? Or does someone in your family work in that field?"
"I used to major in archaeology."
Wei Xin did not mention his background, believing that using such a reason to gain sympathy was a shameful act, saying, "But now I've switched to the combat department."
"You switched to the combat system, did you find archaeology boring? After all, facing a bunch of old relics all day long is indeed quite boring." Cynthia's tone became calm, without a trace of emotion.
Why don't you check your mouth?
Wei Xin couldn't believe his ears.
Even if you asked me to subdue Arceus, I wouldn't believe that Cynthia, a passionate enthusiast of mythological archaeology, would say such a thing.
What's the difference between what you're saying and Steven saying rocks are boring, or Ash saying battles are too tedious?
Cynthia, stop testing me!
After confirming that Cynthia did not have a metal ring around her waist and could not have been hypnotized, Wei Xin said, "No, I prefer to conduct on-site investigations under the scorching sun rather than enjoying the air conditioning in an office. For this, one needs sufficient strength to explore the world more freely."
The world is too vast; Wei Xin felt that he might not be able to explore it all even if he spent his entire life on it, and human desires are endless.
My buddy rode Lugia yesterday, and tomorrow he's going to ride Rayquaza, and the day after tomorrow he's going to ride Black Dragon and White Dragon, Ratio, Shiny Finch, and... hehehe.
"Moreover, Pokémon battles are a very interesting sport. Donghuang has a long tradition of making friends through martial arts, and different kinds of encounters can happen through Pokémon battles," Wei Xin continued.
"Every encounter between lives will inevitably give birth to something. This is true for people, and it is also true for people and Pokémon. So, Ms. Cynthia, if there is an opportunity in the future..."
What's going on? Is he going to confess? Hearing Wei Xin's increasingly excited voice, Wanlong glanced at Mary beside her, then turned back to look at him with wide eyes.
Now, here?
