Chapter 158

Gyarados!

The representative of the unruly Pokémon. He has a bad temper, no sense, and cannot be nurtured or directed at all.

But what if you have the resources of Dragonbone Flower Condensed Pearl?

Damn it! That Pokémon with 540 base stats can also Mega Evolve!

If Gyarados could be kept rational, it would be the best of all effects.

Isn't that more impressive than most of the starter Pokémon?

"The secret realm of Enkanomiya... there's no need for me to set it up. It is originally a secret resource realm native to the Teyvat continent, full of treasures and treasure chests!"

"Hmm..."

"Should we put in some suitable Pokémon to breed?"

Takumi looked far away. He saw a large whale swimming calmly outside the floating island. He saw Hilichurls everywhere. There were also various elemental beings, slimes, floating spirits... so.

Hilichurls can exist here, why can't Pokémon?

Takumi raised the corners of his mouth and showed a meaningful smile. Then, he used teleportation to come to the library of the Byakuyakoku Kingdom.

In the library, the Abyssal Chanter named Yuanshang was carefully translating the forbidden book "Before Sun and Moon."

"Not finished translating yet?" Takumi said.

Yuanshang laughed and said with a sneer: "Sir Takumi, the script of the ancient Byakuyakoku Kingdom is very different from the current common language of the continent. Please give me more time."

More than a week ago, when Takumi first came to Enkanomiya, he discovered this individual, Yuanshang. An Abyssal Chanter had actually run here from the Abyss and hidden in the library of the ancient kingdom to study historical materials.

When Yuanshang saw him, he was very frightened and addressed him respectfully, calling him "Master" and "My Lord." Later, when Takumi heard Yuanshang's explanation, he couldn't help but laugh.

The reason Yuanshang ran away and hid in Enkanomiya was because Takumi, during his travels in Mondstadt, reached Starfell Cliff and the Abyss Order's spring lair. It frightened the Abyss so much that they fled in panic.

Unexpectedly, destiny played its part, and they met again!

"Well, you continue translating, and when you finish, just send me the translation."

Before, Takumi had already given Yuanshang a trainer's Pokédex and brought him into the group chat.

"Okay, okay!"

Yuanshang asked cautiously: "Sir, are you leaving?"

"Yes. The Liyue Trainer Competition has reached its most intense stage. The competition for the top 50 rankings will be brain-wrenching in every game!"

But Takumi was already thinking about what to do after the Trainer Competition ended.

Hearing this, Yuanshang also showed strong interest. He had made good use of the trainer's Pokédex in the past two days. He had come into contact with the Teyvat Pokémon. He couldn't stop using the Internet and was willing to be driven by a being like Club Manager Takumi.

Hey, the lousy Abyss Order... It's nothing more than a group of madmen obsessed with revenge and destruction! How can they compare to the great and upright founder of the Pokémon Era?

Bah! Just comparing them together is an insult to the Pokémon era!

Takumi didn't know that he had gained a loyal follower. It didn't matter whether he was loyal or not. As long as he got on board with the times, he was a part of his team.

"By the way~"

"In a few days, I'll ask Meloetta to bring some Poké Balls from my backpack. When the time comes, you will release all the Pokémon in the Poké Balls according to my guidelines and let them live and breed in Enkanomiya. Your task is to plant, care for, and irrigate berries, which are the food source for almost all Pokémon."

Yuanshang was excited when he heard this, confirming that he was the only observer and administrator of the vast Enkanomiya. He suddenly became the administrator of a small ecological zone! His status in the heart of Club Manager Takumi rose dramatically!

Moreover, he could study the information of the Byakuyakoku Kingdom as he wished in Enkanomiya while embracing the Pokémon Era and studying Pokémon. For a scholar like Yuanshang, this was a dream come true!

"Manager Takumi, I will protect Enkanomiya for you!"

The twenty-five-year-old Abyssal Chanter who had surrendered almost had an aura of determination, as if he had sworn to die for his cause.

Takumi nodded with satisfaction and asked the cute Pokémon to return to their Poké Balls. Then, in front of Yuanshang, his figure disappeared out of thin air.

Yuanshang bowed respectfully and extremely piously to the place where Takumi had disappeared.

The mighty fleet of the Inazuma Shogunate, thanks to the help of the Raiden Shogun's power over wind and waves, arrived at Liyue Port in just half a day. Ningguang personally came to receive such a large visiting group.

On the pier, most of the people watching the commotion were boatmen and merchants. Ordinary residents of Liyue had no time to hang out here. They could either find a leisure spot and enjoy the Trainer Competition in full swing or go to the venue and experience the explosive atmosphere.

Kujou Sara, together with the Tenryou Commission soldiers, escorted the ruling general of Inazuma all the way. The Kamisato siblings, along with their retainer Thoma, also disembarked from the ship.

Huh?

The scene at Liyue Pier was different from that in Inazuma. The most obvious was a transport ship belonging to a company, with more than ten specialized Pokémon transporting cargo.

Kamisato Ayaka was curious and scanned one with her Pokédex:

"Beep~"

"Mudsdale..."

Damn it, is it really a Pokémon?

The siblings were surprised.

Keqing, who was responsible for connecting with the Kamisato family, smiled slightly and said:

"This is the transport ship of the Feiyun Commerce Guild. Their store is very large, which is why this phenomenon occurs. Ordinary firms and fleets cannot recruit such resources."

The Kamisato siblings clicked their tongues in amazement.

"Carrying goods is actually a way of training Pokémon, right?" Ayaka asked.

Keqing nodded and said, "Yes, while making money, you can also train. Feiyun Commerce Guild offered a lot, so many trainers with Pokémon like Mudsdale couldn't refuse and were willing to work part-time."

Arriving at the dock's warehouse area, a Machamp carrying heavy crates easily lifted tons of steel and moved somewhere.

Kamisato Ayaka took in a hissing breath, eyes wide. At the same time, Sangonomiya Kokomi, Gorou, and Teppei from Watatsumi Island were also in the visiting fleet. From the dock to the shopping street, the group from Watatsumi Island was dazzled.

"Lady Kokomi, Lord Gorou, look!" Teppei excitedly pointed to a stall in the shopping street. A young man wearing a special uniform, with a metal hook attached to his back, was being airlifted by a Pidgeotto.

After landing, the young man took out a box of energy cubes from his pocket and threw one to Pidgeotto. The bird eagerly accepted it.

The uniformed young man then untied the goods carried by Pidgeotto.

"Here is your delivery. Please check it and sign."

The stall owner signed without much surprise.

Taking this opportunity, the group from Watatsumi Island approached with curiosity.

"Hey, little brother," Teppei asked, "What uniform is this? And what about you and your Pidgeotto...?"

The young man in uniform looked up: "Oh, friends from Inazuma!"

He turned around and patted the pattern on the back of his uniform jacket—the symbol of the Qixing!

"See this? This is the official logo of Qixing Express, a company directly affiliated with the Liyue Pokémon League. We specialize in fresh food and medicine delivery, express deliveries, and high-value insured shipments. Our outlets have expanded across Liyue, and we're planning to go international, including Inazuma and Mondstadt!"

"Trainers with bird Pokémon can apply for admission, but the selection is very strict. Only trainers with a lot of enthusiasm for service are recruited, and the benefits are incredible!"

After that, the young man checked the time on his Pokédex and said, "Sorry, I have my next delivery to make. Friends from Inazuma, welcome to Liyue."

Waving his hand, he whistled. Pidgeotto shrieked and took off, carrying the young man to the skies above Liyue Port.

Teppei was stunned.

Kokomi sighed: "Liyue truly is the birthplace of the Pokémon Era. All industries are seamlessly integrated with the times and Pokémon."

The group followed the main Inazuma delegation to the designated luxury hotel. At the entrance, they saw a girl who had been waiting for a long time, holding a selfie stick and wearing a mask.

As Ningguang, Raiden Shogun, and Yae Miko were heavily guarded, the girl couldn't approach them. Instead, she stopped the Kamisato family and the group from Watatsumi Island.

"Friends from Inazuma," she greeted them cheerfully.

A Pokédex-like device was attached to her selfie stick, and the title of her livestream read: "Ying Chen Pokémon Adventure!"

The livestream was broadcast on Teyvat Cheers Station and had a considerable number of viewers—over ten thousand. The comment section was also lively.

"My name is Ying Chen. I used to be a clerk at the Xianle Pavilion, but now I livestream full-time," she said.

The group, including Teppei, Sangonomiya Kokomi, and Gorou, looked at her with curiosity. Teppei's entire body trembled with surprise as he exclaimed:

"Ahhh! It's Miss Ying Chen! I really love your racing skills!"

The Kamisato siblings, Kokomi, and Gorou were all stunned. Ying Chen! This name was familiar. She was a big internet celebrity known for her racing skills on the Pokémon Network, and she had also been a salesperson at the Xianle Pavilion, famous for promoting cosmetics.

---

Takumi had just returned to Liyue Port, and when he glanced at the hotel where the Inazuma delegation was staying, he suddenly looked strange. Ying Chen was powerful! Her driving skills made Teppei, Kokomi, Gorou, and Kamisato Ayaka blush. To hide something, Kamisato Ayato took out a cup of bubble tea and drank it silently.

Then, Takumi did not forget the Dragonbone Flower Condensed Pearl that he was after. He went directly to the Golden House.

"Has the Rite of Parting been completed?"

Unlike the original plot, there were no traces of battles here, and there was no sign of the Fatui Harbinger Childe. It made sense—Zhongli had traveled around the world, and the Traveler was busy with the Trainer Competition. So, who completed the Rite of Parting? Was it the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?

It was confirmed that the Dragonbone Flower Condensed Pearl lay at the bottom of the sea of Mora. Takumi was no longer in a hurry. He wouldn't need it for now. He didn't have a high-level rock-type Pokémon, so he couldn't create a candidate for a rock god... yet.
