Chapter 147

Who am I?

A picture of a dragon-form Pokémon with blood-red wings appeared in Raiden Ei's Pokédex.

Hu Tao, who had been thinking about flying types, took a breath and stared directly at the live broadcast interface in the group chat.

"(?)!!!"

"Damn it!!"

"This is definitely a dragon-type Pokémon!"

This time, Raiden Ei also noticed that this giant dragon was special and didn't click to skip immediately. Instead, she looked at the giant dragon with blood-red wings in confusion:

"Takumi, this Pokémon called Bloodwing Wyvern seems to be quite powerful?"

Raiden Ei looked at Takumi's surprised expression.

"What's wrong?"

She was puzzled.

Takumi felt that Raiden Ei's luck was even more outrageous than Klee's. Damn it, if there was a god of luck in Teyvat, she must be their biological daughter.

"Bloodwing Wyvern—it's also called Salamence. Currently, it's one of the nine known pseudo-Legendary groups. Its initial form is Bagon, and it evolves into Shelgon before becoming Salamence. So, the Salamence you drew isn't a baby and must be level 50 or higher!"

Pseudo-Legendary... This term had gained popularity, especially with Hu Tao's famous 50-million-Mora Gible.

Now, everyone on the Teyvat Pokémon Network knew what it meant.

In the group chat live broadcast room, after the third draw result was revealed, many people expressed disbelief.

Lisa: "When did it become so easy to draw? A Mythical Pokémon and a pseudo-Legendary in their final forms?"

Eula: "It seems like my five draws this week were a joke!"

Diluc: "Well, judging by these results, our lottery should be called the Non-Chief Prize Pool, and Raiden Shogun's prize pool is God's Special Prize."

Xiangling: "Hu Tao, Salamence—a pseudo-Legendary dragon type in its final form. Are you drooling or going crazy?"

Hu Tao: "... (Don't disturb me, I'm depressed)"

"Pseudo-Legendary?" Raiden Ei raised her eyebrows. She didn't choose Zarude, and she didn't want Salamence either. If she truly pursued power, she would have chosen Zarude despite its appearance, and she could afford the price. But Raiden Ei always wanted Celebi or Dialga!

"Fourth draw!"

The onlookers unknowingly moved closer, standing very near, eagerly watching the screen of the Pokédex.

Sylveon!

A pink Eeveelution appeared.

Suddenly, the fairy-like design made many macho men watching the live broadcast have their eyes light up.

It had a white body, with pink accents on its head, ears, tail, and lower limbs, with a few blue spots. Its light blue eyes were large. On its left ear and neck were bows, with two soft ribbons hanging down.

Fairy-like!

On the barrage in the Teyvat Cheers live broadcast room, countless people howled like wolves:

"Woohoo~oooh!"

"Mom, I'm in love!"

"I was actually charmed by an Eevee!"

"The macho man sheds tears; love erupts!"

In the group chat, Jean saw Sylveon and instantly fell in love. Her initial Pokémon was an Eevee, which she had fostered at Takumi's research institute for a while, and she took it home a few days before the competition. However, although her Eevee was level 35, they spent little time together, lacking the bond required for evolution. Therefore, Eevee hadn't evolved.

Moreover, Jean was hesitant—she hadn't yet decided Eevee's evolutionary path. But now, seeing the high-definition image of Sylveon for the first time, Jean made up her mind:

"I want Sylveon! No one can resist a Sylveon!"

However, Raiden Shogun had been obsessed with eternity for five hundred years. No matter how cute the fairy looked...

"I am Raiden Shogun. What I pursue is to reverse the cycle of life and death. What was lost must be found. What I already have will never be lost—it will stay with me forever!"

This was the ultimate form of Raiden Shogun's philosophy of eternity. Simply put...

"I, Raiden Shogun, want them all!"

That's why she needed to contract Celebi and Dialga to control time and space.

Therefore, Raiden Ei's goal had always been firm. In Jean's shocked and extremely puzzled eyes, the ruler of Inazuma still clicked the skip option.

Group chat live broadcast room: "???"

Zhongli, Venti: "???"

Cheers live room: "???"

"I'm not surprised at all."

When Takumi saw Raiden Ei starting the fifth and final extraction, he smiled and took the opportunity to glance at the barrage. Seeing Zhongli and Venti express their confusion, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

It seemed that Sylveon was indeed charming. Even Zhongli, who was as steadfast as a rock, would have smiled and hugged Sylveon. The fifth draw revealed:

"Who am I?"

Meltan!

Seeing that the last draw wasn't Celebi or Dialga, a hint of disappointment flashed across Raiden Ei's eyes.

"Can I only draw five times a week?" she asked, her tone urgent.

"Ha... you're still eager, huh?" Takumi said with a smile. "Yes, only five times a week. Because the professional trainer certification system hasn't been launched yet. After the Liyue Competition, the Pokémon League of Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma will jointly launch a complete trainer professional system. Every major rank increase, such as moving from beginner to intermediate, will grant an extra draw per week. In addition, the higher your career rating, the more benefits you'll enjoy in the Pokémon League."

Takumi didn't forget to take advantage of Raiden Ei's Pokémon draws to promote the upcoming trainer system.

Raiden Ei calmed down. There was time. Five hundred years had passed—she could just draw every week from now on. Besides, she felt her probability of drawing a Mythical Pokémon was pretty high. Maybe she'd get Celebi and Dialga in a year or two?

Just as Raiden Ei was thinking this, Takumi pointed to the Pokédex in her hand:

"It's called Meltan. Its body is like molten steel—silver-white. Its liquid hands and feet can corrode other metals and absorb them into its own body. Its head is like a golden hexagonal nut, with a small black sphere floating inside. This sphere is actually Meltan's eye."

There was a pause.

Takumi faced the live broadcast camera and continued in an intriguing tone:

"The key is—Meltan has an evolved form—Melmetal! It is also a Mythical Pokémon!"

Everyone was stunned.

Five single draws.

Two Mythical Pokémon appeared—this was outrageous!

Raiden Ei was stunned for a moment; she hadn't expected her luck to be this incredible.

"Melmetal?" she murmured, then carefully looked at the infant form of Meltan on the screen. Compared to Zarude, Meltan's design had a technological feel. Though its appearance and vibe weren't exactly her preference, it wasn't ugly. It was even a bit cute.

While Raiden Ei was contemplating, Takumi also sighed inwardly.

Meltan. Melmetal. Suddenly, he thought of Ash. In the anime, Ash also tamed a Meltan and successfully evolved it into a Melmetal, making Ash a Mythical Pokémon trainer.

However, Melmetal's performance in the anime was really poor, as it was easily beaten by Silver Companion Beast. Following this trend, when facing Solgaleo, Lunala, or even Necrozma, Melmetal would probably be defeated even more easily.

Therefore, Melmetal's potential was clear—at most, it could be a Tier 2 deity. Moreover, it required god-level resources to reach that level through regular training. Without such resources, its strength would be that of a Tier 3 deity at best.

This made Takumi sigh.

The distinction between Tier 3 gods, Tier 2 gods, Tier 1 gods, and Mythical/Super gods was vast. A Tier 1 god not only required authority and power but also sufficient resources. Not to mention those at the top of Tier 1, very close to Mythical/Super god level, like Ho-Oh, Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Ultra Necrozma.

"How much does this Meltan cost?" Raiden Ei asked, making up her mind. "Or, what will it cost me?"

Now that her attempts for the week were used up, she had drawn a Mythical Pokémon for her fifth try, and it was acceptable in appearance. Raiden Ei didn't want to miss it.

Takumi smiled slightly and began speaking.

Everyone in the live broadcast room: ??

Takumi was clearly talking, but he used telepathy to privately communicate with Raiden Ei. This deliberately secretive approach made countless viewers angry, filled with hatred, and helpless.

"So, what's the cost of taking a Mythical Pokémon home?!" Countless viewers felt they wouldn't sleep tonight.

After listening to Takumi's telepathic message, Raiden Ei was surprised.

"I didn't expect that Liyue's ecological zone has such a story."

Takumi nodded. "So, Morax exchanged a piece of land in the ecological zone for Kubfu. Are you going to give me Seirai Island?"

Raiden Ei didn't hesitate but was concerned. "Are you sure you want Seirai Island? Actually, of the six islands of Inazuma, besides Narukami Island and Watatsumi Island, if you want to build another ecological zone, you could choose among them—Yashiori Island, Kannazuka, Seirai Island... Are you sure you want Seirai Island?"

Takumi smiled. "It's simple. Yashiori Island's environment is complex, and there are remnants of Orobashi. I fear something could happen that might destroy the ecological zone. The same issue exists on Kannazuka—it's not that we can't remove the remnants of the Thunderbird, but it's unnecessary. Maybe those remnants are a god-level resource to be tapped."

His tone was intriguing, and Raiden Ei felt there was something more.

"Finally, there's Seirai Island—uninhabited for a long time. No need for relocation; the entire island will be converted into an ecological zone."

So Raiden Ei and Takumi reached a private trade agreement—an entire island's ecological zone in exchange for a Mythical Pokémon.

"Welcome to draw another Mythical Pokémon next time!" Takumi winked at Raiden Ei.

Raiden Ei suddenly frowned.

She felt inexplicably uneasy. If, before drawing Celebi, she ended up pledging all six of Inazuma's islands as collateral, what would happen then? Would the subsequent cost of bringing home another Mythical Pokémon be Inazuma's rule itself? Would she have to... promise herself?

Hiss...

"Next time I draw a Mythical Pokémon, I'll think carefully again! Can't be impulsive!"
