Chapter 105

Takumi felt his heartbeat speed up every time he saw a familiar interface appear.

"There can never be too many mythical beasts. Just get one!"

He clicked lightly for ten consecutive draws.

Boom, boom, boom... ten beams of light descended from the sky. Gold, purple, and blue were mixed together.

"Whoa!" Takumi exclaimed.

"Goodness, three golden beams again!"

Takumi was pleasantly surprised. Indeed, it was a lucky draw. The golden explosion rate was very high. If he had drawn Yelan in the original, he might have gone crazy.

He decided to skip the animation.

Takumi didn't have the patience to check the details of each item one by one, so he exited the lottery animation directly and checked the list. He stared at the golden items automatically arranged at the top.

Ding! Congratulations on getting the Dragon Plate (SSR)!

Ding! Congratulations on getting the Red Chain (SSR)!

Ding! Congratulations on getting the Treasure of Time (SSR)!

The three golden pieces were all items. There were no mythical beasts or Poké Balls!

Takumi raised his eyebrows but wasn't disappointed. He looked at the two props with surprise:

"Hey, the Red Chain and the Treasure of Time—are these the necessary items in the original plot line of 'Legend of Arceus' to conquer the two gods of time and space?"

The Red Chain had a great origin and was a mythical prop. It could directly control Dialga and Palkia. It was incredibly powerful!

In the animation, the Red Chain also appeared, wielded by the leader of Team Galactic, who used it to control Dialga and Palkia. It seemed these two gods were always getting caught up with this chain whenever they appeared!

As for the Treasure of Time, in 'Legend of Arceus,' it was one of the necessary items to conquer Dialga, the Beast of Time. This item could calm down the two gods of time and space during their deadly battle.

Takumi definitely understood the importance of this treasure.

He had been to the Hisui region, and even to the ruins of the Grand Master of Sinnoh in Mount Coronet, but he didn't dare to easily set foot on the battlefield of the two gods of time and space. After all, he and Cresselia were nearly caught in a temporal disturbance.

If they had been pulled in, they could've been blown into an unknown rift in time and space—effectively being exiled!

"Red Chain, get!"

"Treasure of Time, get!"

"Now, only the Origin Ball is left!"

Takumi was eager to act. The Origin Ball could be crafted by Professor Laventon in the Hisui region. As long as Takumi could find the Origin Ore in the Ancient Cave and have Professor Laventon craft it, he would have everything needed to capture Dialga!

"In the game, the Ancient Cave map wasn't guarded by powerful Pokémon. Reality might be different, though."

Takumi frowned. He knew it wouldn't be that simple.

The separation between games and reality was severe. For example, in 'The Legend of Arceus,' Giratina—a being equivalent to the gods of time and space—hid in an ordinary cave. After a player battled it, they could capture Giratina by throwing an Ultra Ball.

But Takumi was sure if he ventured into the cave where Giratina resided in the Hisui region, he'd likely fall into a different dimension!

As for throwing an Ultra Ball to catch Giratina... He first had to survive the encounter with the furious legendary!

"I can put off finding Dialga for now."

"With the Red Chain and the Treasure of Time, Dialga is practically mine already!"

After Takumi checked the three golden items, there were seven more—three purple and four blue.

Ding! Congratulations on getting the Advanced Breeder Skill Card (SR)!

Ding! Congratulations on getting the Advanced Coordinator Skill Card (SR)!

Ding! Congratulations on getting the Advanced Pokémon Researcher Skill Card (SR)!

"Wow!"

The Breeder, Coordinator, and Researcher skills Takumi wanted had all been drawn. The advanced skill level was enough to train the scholars in his research institute from Mondstadt and Liyue. Even those who had studied for more than 20 years wouldn't suspect anything during hands-on demonstrations and teaching sessions.

"Tsk."

"I still want Expert level and Champion level skills."

"Maybe two SR cards would let me reach Expert level? But for Champion level, I'd probably need a golden card."

The remaining four blue items were saplings of four types of fruit trees: Mago Berry, Nanab Berry, Sitrus Berry, and Lum Berry!

"Mago Berry saplings, planting area: 1*1 km."

"Note: Promoting greenery and planting trees starts with me!"

Takumi was surprised.

What did it mean for the system to give him saplings?

With a thought, he teleported to the outskirts of Liyue.

Then, Takumi discovered that the Mago Berry saplings were used like skill cards. With a light touch, he entered a mode where he had a bird's-eye view and could arrange the 1*1 km green area as he liked.

Perfect!

He decided to plant them around the research institute!

Takumi's eyes lit up as he teleported back to plant the four fruit saplings. Suddenly, the bare foothills of classic Liyue around the institute were filled with green seedlings sprouting up. At this rate, it looked like the institute would be surrounded by a lush fruit forest in just two days.

"I'm getting closer to making my research institute as good as Professor Oak's! That's right, I'm cosplaying as him!"

Takumi smiled and went to greet the confused Venti and Zhongli at the institute.

Venti put down the Pokédex, looking puzzled.

"Did you plant that forest outside?"

"Yes."

"What kind of seeds are those? They germinate so quickly."

Takumi smirked. "I'm not telling."

Venti: ...

"Are you trying to mess with me? You're such a trickster!"

Sighing, Venti continued to play his auto chess game.

Zhongli, while spending money to search for cards, commented without looking up, "In terms of general rationality, I don't think even seeds planted by the God of Grass would grow so quickly. They're brimming with life."

Venti nodded in agreement. "Yes!"

At the Jade Chamber.

Ningguang looked at the new urban racing law drafted urgently by Yanfei and Ganyu and nodded in satisfaction.

"I heard many people are flocking to the Pokémon House store to buy Pokémon bikes?"

Keqing sighed. "That's right. Many influential people in Yujing Terrace are following the trend."

"Now, on the streets of Liyue, you see two main scenes: people walking their Pokémon, and others pushing bicycles."

Ningguang felt her temples twitch. Why did she have a feeling that biker gangs would become a major problem in Liyue in the future?

"Where is Yelan?"

Keqing answered, "She has paid huge compensation and fines and has been released from jail."

Ganyu softly reminded them, "The annual Rite of Parting will be held on an auspicious day a week from now. This year, Lady Ningguang, you're hosting."

Ningguang leaned back in her chair, feeling tired but also a bit excited. She smiled. "A week from now is the Rite of Parting. And the Trainer Conference is in two weeks! Our recent grand events in Liyue have been one after another!"

On the streets of Liyue.

Lumine and Paimon were among the crowd, watching.

Yelan, who had just been "released from jail," was suddenly surrounded by a group of youths riding bicycles.

"Make way!"

"This is our boss Yelan, leader of the Liyue Biker Gang!" shouted Hu Tao, raising her voice deliberately.

"Welcome to the glorious release of Boss Yelan!"

"Glorious release from jail!"

"Glorious release from jail!!"

A group of enthusiastic young men and women from Liyue cheered loudly.

They even made a flag and stuck it on the end of their Pokémon bikes.

Groups of people rode cool bicycles, but the coolest of all was Yelan's Rotom-modified bike, which had its own unique flair.

Seeing Hu Tao's antics, Lumine and Paimon shuddered.

"Goodness... this is the pinnacle of having fun," Lumine muttered.

Hu Tao clearly wasn't interested in joining the biker gang for real—she just wanted to cause some excitement and then quietly slip away.

The most amusing thing was Yelan, who had been respectfully called "Boss" by all these passionate Liyue youths—she had become the spiritual leader of the Liyue Biker Gang.

"Pika pika~!"

Hat Pikachu, perched on Lumine's shoulder, was excitedly eyeing the Pokémon bike.

Paimon seemed to understand and stomped her feet in mid-air. "Hey! Little guy! You can't become a bad influence. We can't afford racing like that. Those bikes cost ten million Mora each!"

After witnessing the lively scene, Lumine, Paimon, and Hat Pikachu left Liyue Harbor, heading towards the ecological zone for the first time.

Paimon was excited along the way. "You can register for the competition tomorrow! Lumine, let's join the first set of rules! You can win the championship easily! Although the rewards haven't been announced yet, the prizes for the champion will definitely be very generous..."

Hat Pikachu, sitting on Lumine's shoulder, refuted Paimon.

"Pika pika!"

(Hey, no ambition!)

Paimon was furious. "You little mouse, who are you calling unambitious?!"

"Pika pika!"

(I'm talking about you!)

"Pika pika pikachu!"

(Everyone chooses the second type of battle, I believe in it!)

Hearing this, Lumine was stunned for a moment, then smiled and patted Pikachu's head. "Alright. Let's join the no-limits category in the competition!"

Ding dong.

In the research institute, Takumi was busy carrying different berries back to the Pokémon House store, bringing over a new energy cube-making machine. He planned to make his first breeder's cube recipe while studying advanced cultivation skills. Just then, his task log popped up:

**New Task Received!**

**Content:** Organize and hold an event (Trainer Conference/Contest) with no fewer than 10,000 participants.

**Reward:** Ten consecutive draws for the store manager.
