Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

Xia Chen looked at the psychic power-enhancing tool that he had once given to Ralts and found it both funny and sad. He never expected that after all the twists and turns, it would end up in his hands.

Despite his complaints, Xia Chen, knowing full well that he had no talent, still obediently used the auxiliary item.

Finally, under Kirlian's guidance, Xia Chen managed to release his first burst of Nen through his own efforts.

Although its function is merely to turn over a piece of paper

Despite the difficulty of completing his first experience with telekinesis, Xia Chen was still very excited.

He looked at the book that was moving without wind and secretly vowed that one day he would be as strong as Sabrina!

Chapter 174 Dragon Island, the Fifth Spirit?

Having gained a basic grasp of superpowers, Xia Chen was like a child who had acquired a new toy, completely engrossed in meditation and telekinesis training.

Feeling himself grow stronger little by little, Xia Chen suddenly felt a connection with his own Pokémon. No wonder they loved training so much.

As the saying goes, no matter how powerful you are in a game, it's all fake.

A real man should be able to command respect and influence in the real world!

Of course, it's probably impossible to use superpowers to control the weather, but Xia Chen thinks that allowing the Pokémon to fight without any worries in wild battles isn't too far-fetched.

Therefore, in order to achieve this goal as soon as possible, Xia Chen began a life of ascetic training in the mountains, where there was no day or night.

Aside from grocery shopping, occasionally being called out by Mingyi to train or spar, and handling important matters at the company, Xia Chen has almost never stepped out of his home.

His tireless study and practice paid off, and a month later, Xia Chen's mental power finally made some progress.

……

Inside the room, Xia Chen stared intently at the fairy cloth before him, holding his breath.

The spiritual power solidified into a tangible force, forming an invisible mental energy that supported Xianbu from beneath, slowly lifting her up.

Sensing the power originating from Xia Chen's spiritual energy beneath him, Xianbu stared wide-eyed in surprise.

After so many attempts, this was the first time Xia Chen had ever lifted her up.

However, his cool demeanor lasted only three seconds. In less than two seconds, Xia Chen's mental energy was completely exhausted, and the unsupported Xianbu instantly fell from mid-air.

With a graceful somersault in mid-air, Senbu landed safely on the bed.

Ms. Kirullian, who was watching from the side, nodded in satisfaction, expressing her approval of her prized student, Xia Chen.

Xia Chen smiled as he successfully lifted the fairy cloth for the first time. Although he was exhausted from exhausting his mental energy, all the effort was worthwhile.

A month ago, he could barely blow up a piece of paper weighing only a few milligrams, but now he can lift nearly thirty kilograms of fairy cloth.

The difference in growth is more than ten thousand times!

At this rate of growth, in another month I'll be able to lift things weighing hundreds of tons, and in another year, I'll be able to smash through a universe with a single punch.

Of course, that's impossible.

However, such a pace of progress was enough to make Xia Chen happy.

During this month, Xia Chen only learned one technique besides meditation: telekinesis, because telekinesis is the foundation of most superpower techniques.

Techniques like mental shock, mental power, or mental hammer are all achieved through different forms of mental power.

According to Kirlian's arrangement, Xia Chen will only be able to advance to the next stage of learning if he can use his Nen to break through Zoroa's defenses.

As for why it was Zoroia, it's because she's the weakest of the four Pokémon.

Therefore, in terms of cultivating superpowers, Xia Chen can be described as having a "promising future".

However, Xia Chen was not in a hurry. After all, his main job was still as a trainer, and it was impossible for a real Pokémon battle to actually happen in a situation where "Xia Chen was warming up on the sidelines".

The important thing is to train the Pokémon properly.

So in the following days, the Pokémon that had just had their fill of being "trainers" returned to their rightful places.

…………

July 15th, Zhijiang City Shuijun International Airport.

Xia Chen and Ming Yi said goodbye in the waiting room.

However, it wasn't Xia Chen who left, but Ming Yi.

Since it was "studying abroad", Mingyi decided to go to the Padiyah region a month in advance to get used to life there.

As they parted, Mingyi, whose face was always beaming with a bright smile, was now rather silent, and Xia Chen didn't know what to say.

The air around them was quiet and somewhat heavy.

Such scenes are commonplace here. Apart from being good-looking, Xia Chen and Ming Yi are nothing special.

In the end, Xia Chen broke the sadness of parting. He ruffled Mingyi's bun and laughed, "Alright, it's nothing, just going to school. You can come back during winter and summer vacations."

Mingyi usually hated it when Xia Chen touched her head, but she didn't react at this moment. She muttered, "I know without you telling me."

Xia Chen sighed helplessly and continued to comfort him, "Besides, I really want to travel to Padiya. You can go there this time to familiarize yourself with the area, and I'll ask you to be my guide next time I come to Padiya."

Mingyi's eyes regained some sparkle, but her words remained textbook-perfectly arrogant: "Hmph, who wants to be your tour guide?"

Knowing that Mingyi's emotions had calmed down, Xia Chen, who was familiar with his childhood sweetheart's temperament, took the initiative to open his arms.

Mingyi reluctantly moved closer and then hugged Xia Chen tightly.

At this moment, silence speaks louder than a thousand words.

……

As the plane receded into the distance and his embrace grew colder, Xia Chen walked home with a sense of loss, pondering when he would leave for Beijing.

The school doesn't seem to mind; they welcome me anytime.

Moreover, as the first place winner in the recruitment competition, the luxurious villa dormitory promised by the school had already been arranged perfectly, just waiting for Xia Chen to move in.

Since Mingyi has already left, there's no point in staying in Zhijiang alone. Why not go to the capital sooner to get used to life there?

It doesn't seem to work either.

With that in mind, Xia Chen immediately booked a flight for three days later on his phone.

He planned to use the two days he had set aside to check on things at home and at the company to see if there was anything else that needed to be taken care of.

Two days later, after finishing all the matters, Xia Chen boarded a plane to Beijing with a carefree attitude.

------

Although it wasn't his first time in the city, Xia Chen was still not very familiar with Beijing.

The purpose of my last visit was very clear: to participate in the entrance examination for Kyoto University.

Although he unexpectedly met the Long sisters, Long Yue and Long Li, Xia Chen's activities were still limited to the Qianlong Martial Arts Academy and Beijing University. He hadn't even properly explored the entire Beijing University campus.

Therefore, Xia Chen, who was unfamiliar with the place and its people, informed Long Yue before coming to the capital.

He originally planned to stay at the Qianlong Dojo for a while before finalizing his arrangements with the school, but as soon as he got off the plane and walked out of the passageway, he heard a somewhat familiar voice.

"Xia Chen, over here~"

Looking in the direction of the sound, Xia Chen discovered that the person sucking on him was one of his few acquaintances in the capital, the Long sisters, Long Yue and Long Li.

Xia Chen was quite flattered. "Why did you come to pick me up from the airport? It's too much trouble for you."

Long Yue smiled and shook her head. "You are a distinguished guest of our Qianlong Dojo. If my father hadn't had dojo matters to attend to, he would have come to pick you up as well."

Long Li, her face flushed, nodded shyly beside her and whispered, "Yes, we all welcome you."

"Uh, thank you."

Xia Chen gave a brief response, then scratched his head in confusion.

What's wrong with this girl? Last time she came back she was a spoiled young lady, how come she suddenly became a shy little girl?

Long Yue noticed Xia Chen's confusion and explained with a smile, "Ever since she watched the Grand Contest, she's become your little fangirl and has been looking forward to your arrival."

Long Li blushed even more, lowered her head, and remained silent.

Long Yue stopped teasing her sister and said with a smile, "Alright, let's go, the car is waiting outside."

…………

Qianlong Martial Arts Academy has a history of over a thousand years in Shangjing and possesses the unique Dragon Island resources, so it has naturally accumulated considerable wealth.

A luxury car, a personal driver—Xia Chen was provided with impeccable style and prestige.

In the back seat of the car, the three chatted about what had happened to each of them in the six months since they separated.

Of course, the main focus is on Xia Chen's remarkable experiences over the past six months.

A close encounter with legendary Pokémon, the construction and future of Contests, Eevee's Fairy-type evolution, and even gossip about Marsh and Karune.

Xia Chen never expected that Long Yue, such a strong and capable woman, would be so gossipy.

After chatting for a while, Long Yue finally brought up Milotic, the link between the two.

"How is Milotic doing now? Are our gym's training techniques still effective?"

Xia Chen nodded. "It's growing quite steadily, and it's been being trained according to your secret method. It was tested at the training gym before we came here, and now Milotic's Dragon-type moves have a power boost of more than 1.3 times."

Long Yue was surprised, "Is he that amazing? He's even faster than I imagined. He really is very talented."

Xia Chen readily accepted the praise on behalf of Milotic, then asked, "What about Hakron? How are her and Milotic's baby doing?"

Long Yue replied, "Hakron was sent back to Dragon Island to recuperate three months ago. The stronger the species of the elf, the longer it takes to reproduce, especially for pseudo-legendary elves. However, the due date is about two months away. Would you like to come to the island to take a look?"

Xia Chen asked in confusion, "Dragon Island? Can I go there?"

Wasn't it said that only they and the Dragon Clan were qualified to land on the island?

Long Yue laughed and said, "Normally it won't work, but don't forget, your Milotic is the father of the future royal descendant of Dragon Island."

Xia Chen suddenly realized that there was another reason. It seems that Minas was not at a bad deal being a son-in-law of Dragon Island.

Long Yue continued, "Not only that, but if you wish, you can also bring back a dragon-type spirit that recognizes you from Dragon Island."

…………

Damn it, is there such a good thing?

Xia Chen was shocked.
