Chapter 103

Yelan: (Jirachi's Precious Video.avi) I got a piece of Immortal Tea Brewing. Thank you, Manager Takumi, for the treat!

Hu Tao: I'm so jealous!

Ningguang: I am willing to pay 100 million Mora for such a pot of tea!

Yelan: Ningguang, you rich woman, you can't even buy it with money.

Venti: Manager Takumi, please bring me a jar of the best fairy brew in Teyvat!

Paimon: Venti, I answered for Nightclub Manager Takumi, the singer, get out of here!

His Highness: A wish...?

Dainsleif: Manager Takumi, if I were a first-level god, could you let me go back five hundred years ago? Or, could it allow me to stand on the long river of time and space to change the fate of Khaenri'ah?

Khaenri'ah!

At the mention of this taboo name, the heated atmosphere of the group chat suddenly went cold. No one dared to follow this topic.

But, in the institute…

Because he went to see the meteor created by Jirachi, Zhongli did not participate in the final round and regretted that he lost a chicken. At this moment, he stared closely at the group chat interface.

Venti couldn't help but gasp and murmured next to him:

"The name of this person in the group chat is Dainsleif? The members of the ghost group are so courageous that they dare to directly mention the name of Khaenri'ah?!"

"Damn it, he still wants to go against the long river of time and space, go back five hundred years ago, and stop the divine punishment from the Sky Island God's Throne?"

Zhongli's eyes were deep, and he didn't express any opinion. He stared closely at the group chat interface. He wanted to see how Takumi would answer!

…

In the store.

Yelan couldn't help but sigh when she saw the topic of Khaenri'ah:

"In fact, the more I investigated in the Chasm, the more regretful I felt for the collapse of that ancient and proud country of mankind."

"Have you seen the Hilichurls all over Teyvat today?"

"They are actually a group of cursed people."

"It is conceivable how prosperous Khaenri'ah was in the past, with a booming population and advanced technology!"

Takumi looked sideways. Miss Yelan is not afraid to discuss this topic. As someone who pursues dangerous excitement and enjoys the satisfaction of investigation and intelligence, Yelan has always sought the truth, regardless of taboos.

"Anyway," Yelan looked at Takumi with her green eyes, her expression changing, and said:

"Does Jirachi's wish have the ability to change the timeline and history?"

Retelling this topic, Yelan swallowed subconsciously. She was nervous! After all, this topic was heavy and represented many possibilities.

If Takumi nodded, Yelan felt that this store manager was far more powerful than the Seven Archons.

Takumi thought about it carefully. He gently poked Jirachi's soft belly with his fingers and said softly:

"I'm skeptical about whether the first-level god Jirachi can do it. Even if it can be done, Jirachi would fall into a thousand-year sleep due to exhaustion of power... I don't want it to sleep like this anymore!"

"It's so cute; it's already part of my family."

Jirachi called out sweetly, happy that Takumi said this.

That is, it is possible?!

Yelan's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and her dark green eyes carefully scanned Takumi's handsome face. She tried to find any fear or hesitation in Takumi about Jirachi's abilities. However, Takumi's expression remained calm and collected. It seemed that Jirachi's wish-granting ability was not of the highest priority to this founder of an era.

Thinking of this, Yelan secretly gasped. She asked tentatively:

"What if it weren't Jirachi?"

"If it were another mythical beast, would it have the power to go back in time and change the past?"

Takumi didn't seem to care much about Yelan's question and answered casually:

"Yes, I have."

"Celebi."

"It's another mythical beast, the Time Travel Pokémon. Able to travel through time and wander through any timeline."

Celebi!

Another mythical beast that has mastered the power of time travel!

Yelan's expression was shocked. In Takumi's opinion, this information wasn't very valuable, but to Yelan, it was priceless! To some Khaenri'ahns, it could be a glimmer of hope, silently moving forward in the darkness.

While Yelan digested this information, Takumi also responded in the group chat.

Takumi: Your Highness Dainsleif, my Jirachi can pray, but maybe it won't work. In short, don't take advantage of Jirachi, as you can't afford the price!

Dainsleif: I'm sorry.

His Highness: Takumi, you know, Cresselia is already enough for me to handle, let alone Jirachi. Where can I find wild gods to fight against you?

Takumi: (satisfied smile.jpg) Seeing your attitude, I will reveal some information for free.

Takumi: Celebi, the mythical beast that has the power to travel through time and space, travels across timelines, changes events, and resurrects the dead. It's easy for Celebi since it inhabits and wanders among timelines.

This information about Celebi was like a nuclear bomb dropped into the group chat, shocking everyone. The group chat fell into silence, and even the loudest voices were quiet.

Takumi was very satisfied with their reaction.

Celebi.

A very well-known mythical beast that appears occasionally in the original Pokémon stories. Takumi remembered the perverse trainer who caught Celebi with a special Poké Ball, wanting to change the fate of Lapras from the past. In another special chapter, Celebi destroyed the Vermilion Orb and Indigo Orb in the hands of a villain and resurrected multiple people. Not to mention traveling through time and space, just the ability of "resurrection" is enough to change lives.

In Teyvat, many people would go mad over this.

"Hello?"

Takumi waved his hand in front of Madam and Yelan, then handed them two blank Pokédexes.

"Come back to reality. Draw your respective initial Pokémon!"

Madam, or rather Rosalyn, looked at Takumi with her eyes full of emotion.

"Alright..."

Rosalyn clicked start.

Beep—the result of her first roll appeared: Popplio!

Rosalyn stared at Takumi without blinking.

Takumi sighed. "This little guy is very hardworking and has a good personality. It can evolve into Brionne and then Primarina at levels 17 and 34, respectively. After level 34, it can become a powerful member of your team!"

Primarina, with a base stat total of 530, is very strong. You must know that Lapras has a base stat total of 535, so they're quite comparable. Moreover, Primarina is a Water/Fairy-type.

"When it sings, it will emit sound waves to control the water balloons around it and deliver a fatal blow to its prey..."

Seeing this description in the Pokédex, Rosalyn's eyes sparkled, and she immediately made a decision.

"That's it!"

The former Rosalyn was also a girl with a pure, angelic voice. In a sense, Primarina carried both her past and future.

The feeling of destiny was strong.

Takumi then glanced at Yelan's Pokédex. Her result was also revealed:

Rotom!

On the screen was a small, strange Pokémon surrounded by electricity, like a tadpole swimming through the air.

Takumi was startled.

It was the strongest support Pokémon.

Usually, it has a base stat total of 440, but after possessing certain appliances, its base stat total rises to 520, with its attributes changing depending on the appliance. As an auxiliary core, it's very powerful!

Takumi introduced Rotom to Yelan, who seemed bewildered and confused.

"Never mind," Takumi said. "I'll give you a real-life demonstration!"

Takumi turned around, went to the breeding room, and brought out both Rotom and Popplio.

"Roto~?"

Yelan tried to poke at the layer of electricity surrounding Rotom. Her finger was met with a shock. Rotom's original form was like a cute ghost, which is why it's nicknamed the Electric Ghost.

Rotom noticed the Pokédex device in Yelan's hand and called out. With a swish, it entered the Pokédex.

At the same time, Yelan and Rosalyn looked at the Pokédex in confusion. It seemed as though the device had come to life.

After the construction of the Rotom Pokédex was completed, it floated towards Popplio, scanning its information with a cute voice:

"After practicing hard every day, I was finally able to make a big and useful balloon..."
