Chapter 136

Nearby, Yoimiya heard the General's murmur.

She glanced at the Pokédex information:

"Well, the Pokédex says so."

"Ursaluna received mysterious blessings from Arceus."

Oh?

Raiden Ei was very interested.

"Miko, it seems that your Pokédex..."

"It's just an illusion."

She raised her head and looked somewhere.

"Hey, after all, I only got this Pokédex yesterday."

A voice with a sigh but a chuckle answered immediately.

Immediately after, Lord Ogosho appeared.

The second most important person in the Inazuma area.

Lord Yae Miko of Narukami Shrine, with thunder at her feet and a bright face, smiled.

"It turns out that this big guy is called Ursaluna."

Yae Miko clicked her tongue.

"Hello."

"Roar~"

Ursaluna did not back down and growled in a low voice at Yae Miko, who was trying to get closer.

"Um?"

Yae Miko was stunned.

She looked at Raiden Ei, who was watching Ursaluna closely.

"General Raiden, you won't stop me?"

"You are not so polite to me, a person of Kitsune lineage?"

Yae Miko was annoyed. But the smile on her face became brighter.

"Oops."

"It's true that true love exists in this world."

"A Pokémon can sense who can be messed with and who cannot be messed with."

She felt pity for her pitiful posture.

Unfortunately, Raiden Ei was immune to this.

Ursaluna was also firm:

"Roar~!"

Only Naganohara Yoimiya was a little confused.

"What are you talking about?" Yae Miko was curious.

"Roar~~!"

Yae Miko: "..."

Although she is a Kitsune Great Yokai.

But with Pokémon, there is still a language barrier.

She literally didn't understand a word. Never mind.

She really wanted to start the scene and fight to the death with this level 79 Ursaluna.

Yae Miko seemed a little hesitant.

She also felt a sense of oppression and coercion from Ursaluna.

Clearly, this Ursaluna had the potential to defeat her.

"Yoimiya, please pass me a copy of Ursaluna's Pokédex."

She raised her head and muttered to Yoimiya.

"Ah, okay, okay!"

The General is an adult.

The Yae Shrine Maiden is also an adult.

Yoimiya passed the Pokédex information to Yae Miko, and Yae Miko carefully considered it, her fair forehead gradually covered with black lines.

Her temples were also twitching:

"So, this Ursaluna is level 79?"

"Champion rank?"

"Um...it's only one level away from the Champion level?"

"So, when it evolves into a Champion Pokémon, I will be in great danger?"

Yae Miko found it outrageous.

"I..."

No, this shrine maiden, the successor of the Kitsune lineage...

With five hundred years of cultivation.

The only top-notch great yokai in contemporary Inazuma.

Well, if we ignore the raccoon yokai Gobaizo in the forest.

She actually felt threatened by a mere Champion-level Pokémon.

If it were a Champion, wouldn't it be able to suppress her?

Thinking of this, Yae Miko felt even more conflicted.

When a fun person's sense of urgency is forced up, are there still carefree days?

Raiden Ei studied Ursaluna for a while but still couldn't figure out the mysterious power.

She gave up, raised her head, and faced Yoimiya sitting on Ursaluna's back.

"Ah, are you the one who makes fireworks? What do you call that?"

"Never mind."

"I don't intend to confiscate the screen here."

"I want to know more about this Pokémon event, the Pokémon Era, and so do the people of Inazuma. We must not fall behind Liyue and Mondstadt..."

"So, can you help me connect with the club manager, Takumi?"

"I want to talk to him more."

Yoimiya was immediately flattered.

She was not surprised at all that her disguise was seen through.

On the contrary, the General not only looked at the chaos of Hanamizaka's public security but also came to visit in person.

Now, after hearing Raiden Ei's request...

Yoimiya suddenly realized:

"It turns out that the General is here..."

"You want me to be the bridge-builder!"

Indeed, if you want to popularize Pokémon in Inazuma, it involves regional and international levels.

She, the divine envoy, is not qualified to sit at the negotiation table on this matter.

It requires the club manager and the General to negotiate!

"General, this is an egg, a Pokédex, and some cultivation resources."

"I brought a total of ten copies from Liyue."

"Now, six copies have been sold. This is the seventh copy. You will receive two million Mora."

Yoimiya then explained that with a Pokédex, one could directly contact Manager Takumi.

Raiden Ei also had the habit of not taking Mora with her when she went out.

She glanced at Yae Miko.

"Miko, help me settle the bill."

After saying that, Raiden Ei lowered her head and stared at the exclusive Pokédex she had just registered and certified, and lightly clicked on the group chat interface.

She sent an application to join the group.

Ding dong!

The group leader (Takumi) approved your application.

Welcome Raiden Ei (Shogun/Thunder General) to the group chat!

Even though today was the opening day of the Liyue Trainer Competition...

Even though a new round of super competition battles were in full swing...

The group chat system's prompt still shook the entire group.

Xiangling: I can't believe it.

Hu Tao: My Pokédex hit the floor...

Yelan: So, this Raiden Shogun... Is she serious? I mean, is it really her?

Venti: Hey Yelan, you know too much! Be careful, you might get struck by lightning!

Yelan: Indeed, thank you for the reminder. I don't want a thundercloud to suddenly appear above my head.

The second group chat system message popped up:

Welcome Yae Miko (Inazuma/Narukami Shrine/Miko) to the group chat!

Ganyu: Yae Miko, eh—(astonished cat.gif)

Yae Miko: Sister Ganyu, it's been a long time since I last saw you. I still remember the last time we talked business was a year or two ago, before Inazuma was locked down. Next time we meet, I'll bring you some sea Ganoderma.

Ganyu: Sea Ganoderma? (gulp.gif)

Zhongli: Raiden Ei, has time tempered your will?

Raiden Ei: Zhongli, who?

Venti: Ahem, we used to drink together... Shhh!

...

Meanwhile...

As the group leader, Takumi left the virtual arena.

There were no famous characters in the remaining battle schedule today, so there was no need to stay and watch.

Hu Tao, Xiangling, Traveler, Tartaglia, and others who appeared before all won without much effort.

For Takumi...

There was one thing that needed to be figured out as soon as possible.

There were ants crawling on him!

"Gears of time."

"Yuki."

Takumi left the noisy venue and went straight to the research institute.

"Go directly to Lake Acuity in the Hisui region."

"Visit Uxie."

"Or take a look to see if there are any traces of war around Lake Acuity."

"Then you can be 100% sure of the truth!"

However, just after landing, when it was time to summon Jirachi, Meloetta, and Cresselia to go together...

Ding ding!

Someone sent him a message in the group.

Takumi glanced at it, wanting to ignore it. After all, there was something urgent.

But the one who sent it was Raiden Ei, who had just joined the group.

Raiden Ei: I want to meet you, Manager Takumi.

Ningguang: Finally?

Jean: ...Of course, no matter how closed-off the nation is, Inazuma cannot ignore the Pokémon Era.

Takumi: Raiden Ei, I have something important to do, and it's not convenient to hold a remote meeting.

Raiden Ei: Are you in Liyue?

Raiden Ei: Wait a moment.

A thundercloud surrounded by purple electricity rushed out from the castle tower.

Yae Miko, who was dealing with the aftermath at Hanamizaka, watched the thundercloud disappear through the sky with resentment:

"Hey, why do I have to look after the house?"

However, the number one shut-in in Teyvat actually left Inazuma's sea area again after five hundred years.

Moreover, she went to Liyue, the Nation of Geo, thousands of miles away, eager to meet someone.

Yae Miko clicked her tongue, an amused smile appearing on her face:

"This is probably what the forum meant by..."

"'Online friends meeting in real life'?"

But soon, the smile on Yae Miko's face faded, replaced by a feeling of relief as she watched the once-isolated General finally step out to meet a new life.

"The so-called eternity means never losing what you already have."

"So, if you try to gain more possibilities in addition to what you already have, you won't fall into an eternal paradox, right?"

"Ha~ Let's meet more people in the next era, the Pokémon Era!"

She was both a mother and an old mentor, simply in charge of the second-generation Inazuma, watching over the cute, shy General, her heart moved.

...

Boom!

In the evening.

Liyue Harbor.

The regular season and super games on the opening day were all in the final battles.

A thundercloud crossed the sky from the distant Far East Sea.

Many people noticed this amazing thundercloud in the sky.

But many more were immersed in the carnival of Pokémon events.

Zhongli and Venti also returned to the research institute.

They exchanged a glance and smiled.

"She's coming."

Hovering in the sky for a moment, the thundercloud disappeared.

At the same time, outside the main building of the institute, a purple-haired, purple-eyed, noble lady slowly descended from the sky.

Venti: "Hey."

Zhongli: "Remember the days of being her shadow warrior?"

Raiden Ei just glanced at these two old acquaintances.

She came to Liyue specifically to meet Takumi, and her target wasn't these two.

"I'm here."

At this time, Takumi sent a mental signal, guiding Raiden Ei to the ruined space buried deep underground in the research institute.

She saw the gate of time and space leading to the Hisui region.

There was a look of surprise in Raiden Ei's eyes.

"Time."

"Space."

She whispered softly.

Takumi was amazed by Raiden Ei's presence.

A noble figure, the legendary Raiden Shogun herself, her commanding presence undeniable.

A tear mole, kimono, black knee-high socks...

"Shall we go?"

Takumi walked into the gate of time and space, and the fluctuations of space and time enveloped half of his body.

He turned around before he was about to travel through.

"Because there is something urgent..."

"Let's talk as we go."

Raiden Ei was stunned for a moment, then her eyes shone even brighter.

She had studied the event rewards. She knew the cost for participants to pass through to the Hisui region was quite high!

Don't talk about anything else!

Going to Hisui earlier than anyone in the group chat was already a huge advantage!
