Chapter 497 Do I still have "ordinary Pokémon" in my house...?
After finally finishing a major task, the first thing Qingyu did upon returning to the Sunny Dojo after a busy day was—
Just empty your mind and fall into a deep sleep without a care in the world.
Staying up all night requires a lot of sleep to replenish energy, not to mention that Qingyu was also constantly excited and intensively processing all the information along the way.
While protecting the students, we must also guard against Nemo and Crimson getting into trouble.
Finally, they fought a major battle at the Zero Zone Research Institute and the Park Defense Program.
Each task alone is exhausting enough, and all of these things have been crammed into a single day.
Even Qingyu couldn't withstand such mental strain.
So when he went back to his room and had a long dream, and then opened his eyes again—
Good news: It's still light out.
Bad news: It's still morning.
Sitting half-up on the bed, squinting at the outside world through the curtains, Qingyu quickly came to a conclusion.
Did I sleep for a whole day and night?
but----
I was so sleepy at the time, did I really have the energy to close the curtains?
Qingyu was a little puzzled, but he never paid much attention to unimportant details.
I finally had a good night's sleep after so long!
After quickly changing into his home clothes, he stretched and felt more refreshed than ever before.
However, just as he pushed open the door and was about to go to the bathroom for a quick wash—
But then he suddenly froze.
"Buee~"
As usual, Sylveon was sitting on the sofa, curled up lazily in a ball.
Although foxes are canines, Sylveon behaves more like a proud and aloof cat.
No, that's not the point!
The key point is the hand that is resting on its back and gently rubbing it from time to time.
Qingyu's gaze followed the arm upwards and quickly locked onto that flawless profile.
Bamboo orchid?
So she didn't leave after all.
These days should be weekdays, right?
Qingyu was slightly stunned at first, but when she thought that this person was Zhulan, she immediately felt that it made perfect sense.
You've suffered, Wusong!
You are the most important pillar of Sinnoh, and I would like to call you Brother Aoki of the Sinnoh League!
"Buyi!"
The sound of the door opening quickly attracted the attention of Sylveon and Cynthia.
The previously lazy Sylveon immediately jumped up from the sofa, walked gracefully to Qingyu's side, and curiously sniffed him carefully.
Is this one way it expresses its concern?
Qingyu narrowed her eyes, smiled indulgently, bent down and hugged it in her arms, then walked towards Zhulan.
I slept for a whole day and night, so even it must have been shocked, right?
"You're finally awake, Qingyu."
After Qingyu sat down next to her, Zhulan suddenly held up three fingers and waved them in front of him.
"Can you still tell how many this is?"
"I'm just exhausted, not hungover—"
Qingyu muttered a helpless complaint, but quickly extended her right hand and made the same gesture.
"After all, there's a saying that if you sleep too long, you'll forget some things when you wake up, so we have to take that seriously."
"But can memories that have been forgotten be recalled?"
"That's right————"
Zhu Lan blinked, then lowered her head to think about the question.
Seeing that she had suddenly fallen into "ice cream decision paralysis" for some reason, Qingyu could only sigh helplessly.
Once Zhulan gets into this state, she will enter a focused mode for anywhere from half an hour to most of the day.
So it's best not to bother her.
Go wash up first!
10:00 AM.
Having fully recovered, Qingyu sat at the entrance of the gym, his eyes fixed on the useless dragon lying on the large cat cushion, and he couldn't help but start thinking—
Where is my big, handsome Milton?
How come he was immediately brought back to his original form as soon as he returned to the dojo?
Show some dignity and presence as a legendary Pokémon, and stop giving up!
"Gah?"
-
Seemingly sensing Qingyu's gaze, Milton looked up in confusion and met his eyes.
Millardon: What are you looking at?
"Nothing, I was just thinking about a problem."
Qingyu chuckled and patted its steel head, then suddenly took out a special Poké Ball from his pocket and showed it to Milton.
"What should we do with this defeated opponent, Guleton?"
Of course, you should go to Zhuanzhuan (a travel website) —
Wait, that's not right, there's no such thing in the Pokémon world!
If he stays in the dojo, he'll be positioned to the left and right of Milton, serving as the face of our dojo.
However, they'll probably both have some objections.
At least Milton's opinion seems quite strong.
"What?!"
Upon hearing Qingyu's words, Milton immediately woke up and jumped up and landed lightly.
So, Leighton? Staying at the dojo?
Seeing Qingyu's serious expression, Milton immediately began to seriously consider whether it was too late for him to run away from home.
Milton's weak personality successfully took over, and he warily watched the Poké Ball in Qingyu's hand.
Communicating with that freak who resorts to violence to solve problems at the drop of a hat and whose brain is probably all muscles is too much of a struggle.
If I have to live with it, I'd rather run away now!
Wait a minute—why should I be afraid of it?
Millerton paused for a moment, then realized what was happening.
It just lost to me, so it should be the one that's afraid!
That's right, why should I be the one to leave here!
"Gah!"
Having the experience of defeating his opponent before, Millerton naturally felt that he should be the head of the family.
It's just one more underling, so it doesn't matter!
"You agree?"
"Then I'll release it~"
Qingyu raised an eyebrow, and after seeing Milerton nod, gently pressed the Poké Ball trigger.
"Goooooooo!!!"
Having recovered a considerable amount of energy inside the Poké Ball, Guleton immediately unleashed a powerful roar upon its appearance.
At the same time, it focused its attention entirely on Millerton and Qingyu beside it, and adopted a vigilant defensive posture, slowly retreating step by step.
According to the ancient species' beliefs, they only respect strength and, theoretically, will only submit to those who have defeated them.
However, Milton and Millerton are old rivals, so it's impossible for them to truly be convinced of each other's superiority.
Even if it won by luck last time, it was only a 1-1 draw!
Therefore, it is simply impossible for me to give in like this!
Therefore, Leighton's eyes were incredibly sharp, and when he looked at Miller, there was even a hint of disdain.
After all, I am a strong one, and I will not be as servile as it and be controlled by a weak human!
That AI merely used the rules of the time machine to temporarily cooperate with me in order to control a portion of the paradoxical species!
Even if I die, I will never follow in Milton's footsteps!
That was originally what Leighton thought.
But soon—
Its loud cry had startled the other Pokémon in the gym.
"Bonito?"
The elusive creature wearing a well mask was the first to peek out from the nearby garden.
Although the other party did not seem hostile, Gu Leton immediately sensed a powerful aura, and two beads of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
Even including Milton, it's only two Pokémon.
I couldn't stop myself!
It was preparing to move back little by little to a safe distance when it suddenly felt a chill on its back, so it instinctively turned its head to look.
"Luca?"
A Lucario appeared behind him out of nowhere and patted his back in confusion.
It seemed to be sensing the robustness of its body.
When?!
Therefore, Leton did not sense the other party's presence at all, which also means that if it really wanted to attack him, it would have already succeeded in its sneak attack just now!
Therefore, Leighton broke out in a cold sweat even more.
Three of them—if we fight them with all our might, we might be able to take them down!
However, with their escape route blocked, they will likely have to focus their efforts on one direction.
As for the easiest one to beat among them, it should be his own defeated opponent, Milton!
We can't stay here any longer, otherwise it will be even harder to escape when more Pokémon appear!
Thinking of this, Milton no longer hesitated and immediately took a step forward to pounce on Milton.
And it was at this moment.
"Bu-i?"
Suddenly, the gym door was pushed open, and Sylveon immediately emerged from behind it, looking at Guruton next to Lucario with a puzzled expression.
That must have been the guy who made that sound just now, right?
Although it's unclear why the trainer brought it back even though they were rivals before—
However, since we've come to the gym, we should be companions.
Sylveon then stopped paying attention to its previous fuss and gracefully approached the other.
However, with each step it took forward, Leighton's face grew paler, and he soon became visibly drenched in sweat.
The two Pokémon that appeared earlier were strong, but not enough to give it an outrageously oppressive feeling.
But this seemingly cute and unremarkable Pokémon, which at first glance appears to have little fighting power, inexplicably gives it a suffocating feeling that is almost like "bloodline suppression".
We can't beat them, we simply can't beat them!
Why is it still walking towards me? Is it getting annoyed and trying to teach me a lesson?
Don't come any closer!
Forced by the situation, Leighton immediately made a decision: a true man can bend and stretch!
Let's just admit defeat for now and find a chance to get revenge later!
"Gooooo————"
Therefore, Leighton quickly let out a low growl that signified submission, and lowered his proud body, adopting the lowest posture.
"Crack—!"
When Salamence, like a giant lizard, rushed over from the inn next to the gym to see what was happening after hearing the commotion, all it could see was Gulliver already lying on the ground, completely submissive.
"Buee~"
Sylveon stretched out the ribbon extending from its neck, gently rubbing Gullton's head instead of using its hands.
"Gah!"
Millerton, standing to the side, was almost speechless.
This thing seemed to be about to hit me just now, but after I secretly prepared to retaliate at any moment, it suddenly gave up.
However, this is for the best.
Even when it comes to transportation, family hierarchy matters!
Clearly, the newcomer, Guleton, held a much lower position in the household than Guleton himself.
That's enough!
Milton nodded in satisfaction, then quickly returned to his previous lazy demeanor, flopping back onto his soft cat mat for a nap.
"That Pokémon must be an Ancient species of Milton, right?"
Cynthia quickly came outside and sat down next to Qingyu, watching with great interest as Guleton was "friendly interacting" with Sylveon.
"Yes, its name is Guleton."
Qingyu nodded and added a sentence.
"However, Paradoxes only resemble some modern Pokémon in appearance; it's not really clear whether there's any connection between them."
"And don't let their appearance fool you—they're both legendary Pokémon, even though they're both incredibly embarrassing."
"Legendary Pokémon?"
Zhu Lan blinked, seemingly incredulous.
However, Qingyu thought it was normal.
Sinnoh is so old, it's perfectly normal that they don't understand the aesthetics and sophistication of our new generation of Pokémon.
He even had a legendary Pokémon that was still half asleep hidden in his pocket!
Does that mean I've brought all three of Padia's cover gods home with me?
Looking at Guleton, whose head was being angrily rubbed by Sylveon, Qingyu belatedly realized this "rare achievement".
And then there are the other Pokémon in the house that aren't exactly legal either —
Do I still have any "regular Pokémon" at home?
Moreover, with the addition of the Sleeping Turtle and Gruulton, has the number of legendary Pokémon in your home increased even more?
Oh, and there's also Zhenyifa, who's sleeping soundly in his own shadow!
Qingyu touched the ground with both hands and quickly disappeared into the shadows beneath her feet. When she lifted her hands again, she was holding a sleeping, bouncy-haired dream monster.
"I almost forgot about you, little one."
Qingyu lifted it high and showed it to Zhulan beside her.
"This paradoxical species is called Vibrating Wing. I don't know if this one is special, but it doesn't seem to be hostile to people, and it's actually quite friendly."
Zhu Lan reached out and took it, examining it curiously.
"It really does look like a Misdreavus, and it should also be a Ghost-type Pokémon, right?"
"Yes, it's an ancient species of Misdreavus."
Qingyu nodded.
"Isn't it amazing? Ghost Pokémon have almost infinite lifespans, so under normal circumstances their appearance shouldn't change significantly over time."
"But there is a very obvious difference between the Dream Demon and its Ancient species, and even their attributes have changed."
"I don't know why."
After Qingyu finished speaking, Zhulan looked at Zhenyifa's adorable sleeping face for a while before suddenly sighing, "Yes, even now, there are still many unknowns in our understanding of Pokémon."
"Let alone the distant future and the past, there are still many mysteries waiting to be solved in the present."
"For example, the ancient Gengar and ancient Alakazam that were once discovered in the Kanto region, as well as very rare Shiny Pokémon whose body color changes."
"However, as long as you can maintain your love for Pokémon and continue to explore it deeply—"
When Zhu Lan spoke, there seemed to be a light in her eyes.
"Perhaps one day, we will fully understand these amazing creatures, Pokémon, and live in harmony with them forever."
"Could the appearance of those future species be a result of their mutual adaptation with humans?"
"Who knows?"
Qingyu gave a noncommittal response.
He was about to continue his long-awaited chat with Zhu Lan when his Rotom phone in his pocket suddenly rang just as he was about to speak.
Upon opening it, I was surprised to find it was an unknown call from the Unova region.
