Pokémon: An Encounter with You

Chapter 125 Son of Heaven's Grace

"Oh, by the way, where did you get this information?" Lu Qing was like a curious baby, and asked again, "It seems like you haven't given up on going to the secret realm yet."

"Or did you go to find the Champion Long Luo or the Evil Heavenly King Rong Dao?"

Before Shi Qiu could deny it, Rong Yue shook her head first: "I heard from Brother Rong Dao that he has already refused."

"But he asked me to keep an eye on you and tell you not to do anything tricky."

Between Rong Dao, whom she had known for a long time, and the cute little brother, the big sister resolutely chose the latter and sold the former without hesitation.

Rongyue: Don’t get involved, Evil King. I’m afraid my junior will misunderstand me.

"It's too late. It's too late. Mr. Rong Dao said it's too late."

"Do you remember the previous black dragon paper?" Shi Qiu smiled and said excitedly, "I found Shuimu's research team, and they promised to take me to the secret realm for investigation, just as an experience."

Lu Qing frowned: "You really found a way to get in? Isn't it too dangerous?"

As far as he knew, in previous years' secret realm expeditions, there would sometimes even be quite a few wild elves with peak combat power appearing.

Rongyue also looked at him with a little worry.

"Don't worry." Shi Qiu comforted, "I'm going in with the research team. Not only will there be a vanguard team to help us check for danger, but there are also many high-powered people who will protect us."

“It’s dangerous to a certain extent, but it’s more of a test.”

Rongyue felt relieved after hearing this.

"Don't worry, don't worry. I'll be careful and basically nothing will happen."

Shi Qiu was very lucky. Not only did he meet a group of elves, but all his friends also treated him sincerely.

Big sister Rongyue is like this, and Lu Qing is one of them.

After hearing this, Lu Qing, who was already worried, became even more worried. He hesitated and whispered:

"Ah... aren't you raising a flag?... Don't raise a flag blindly. This is the most unlucky thing. Come on, spit, spit, spit with me."

Shi Qiu: ...You stinky crow mouth!

I'm so unlucky to have met you!

While Lu Qing was still saying “Ptah, Ptah”, Rong Yue had already elbowed him expressionlessly.

Shi Qiu thought about it, and finally followed suit and made two "Puh" sounds.

Rongyue: ...Boys are so childish.

Shi Qiu finished his vacation and returned to his normal college life in a short week.

It's just slightly different from before.

I went from running between Kyoto University and Ikuda University to running between Mizuki University and Ikuda University.

The students of Shuimu gradually became familiar with this talented little boy next door.

It's not just because he is favored by many professors, but mainly because this young man has a set of skills.

He often sits in Mizuki's history class, and the Rotom tablet also has Kyoto University courses loaded on it.

He stood up to answer questions from the professor in the Research Department, and then sat down and typed answers to questions from the Kyoto University Combat Department.

Anyway, the students sitting behind and on both sides of Shi Qiu were all distracted by his contradictory attitude of being flustered yet at ease.

Well, it’s that kind of embarrassed yet handsome feeling.

Only two families knew about Shi Qiu's current situation.

Shuimu couldn't hide the fact that Shiqiu was taking his class offline, but Shuimu pretended not to know about it and acted as if he was welcoming excellent students to exchange ideas. As for Yuda, according to a classmate I know, there were also some points, and I don't know how they found out, but since it didn't involve my family, I kept quiet.

Only the teachers of Kyoto University and the evil king Rong Dao were kept in the dark by Shi Qiu.

Of course, Lu Qing and Rong Yue were involved in this.

......

One morning.

Shi Qiu had just woken up and looked around but found that the elves were not around.

There was only a faint body temperature next to the quilt, as if the person had just left not long ago.

(As the weather turned cooler, Ice Vulpix started to get farther and farther away from its trainer when sleeping in bed.)

"Strange, why is there no elf calling me?" Shi Qiu stretched in the morning light and muttered softly.

If it was Riolu and Aledo, Shi Qiu believed that they were considerate and wanted him to sleep a little longer.

But there are also Bubble Squirrel and Ice Vulpix. Tsk tsk, these two brats are not so kind.

And the most important one, Zoroark, this sleepyhead is also missing!

"Could he be going to train in the simulator?" Shi Qiu took out the ticket.

[The forest ticket has been activated. ]

[The character...the sprite...has been generated and is entering the simulation map.]

[Current map: The destroyed Hoenn region, Unova region, and ** region. ]

[You have entered the a-1 forest area. ]

Shi Qiu keenly noticed the changes in this introduction prompt.

**Region? Which one is this?

at the same time.

[Notice: It has been detected that you have passed the trials of the forest and the sea, and are now performing a simulated jump...]

[Notice: The large series of tasks "Nature and Time" have been completed, and the task plot data will be temporarily closed. 】

【正在跃迁中......1%、2%、5%、20%、50%、100%，跃迁判定成功!】

[The forest ticket has evolved into the world key.]

【Welcome, son of God’s grace. 】

Shi Qiu clicked on the entry for [Key to the World].

[World Key: A rusty key that looks nothing ordinary(?).]

[Effect: Build a passage through the world for humans recognized by the secret realm.]

"Nature and Time", has this mission ended...

Why did the prompt only appear now?

“Perhaps, the rebirth of Manaphy and the stabilization of its life energy will symbolize the complete completion of this large-scale mission.” Shi Qiu thought silently.

Suddenly, Rotom's notification sound interrupted his thoughts.

It’s Lu Qing.

"Hey brother, where are you?" Lu Qing asked the person on the other end of the phone. "It's been nearly a week, and I haven't seen you at all in Beijing University."

"Do you remember that you joined a battle group? You were the one who didn't participate in the required activities!"

At the entrance of the forest, from a distance, Zeraora's extremely conspicuous figure came into view.

When Shi Qiu saw Zeraora, his original intention to listen to his senior's words disappeared instantly.

He answered the phone in a perfunctory manner: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll attend tomorrow. I'm hanging up now. I have something else to do."

"Ah!? Hello? Hello?......"

It's so funny, the senior is not as good as Zeraora.

"What's going on, Zeraora?" The boy's voice was gentle, full of patience, and he seemed to be listening attentively.

Zeraora jumped over, gently grabbed the boy, and walked towards the exit: "(On the beach of the B-1 sea area, there seems to be a passage in the east direction. It should be another newly appeared secret place.)"

“(They told me to wait here for you and then take you there directly.)”
