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

Xianbu's action was just like someone who sees money on the ground and then stomps on it.

Moreover, Xia Chen knew without even looking that Cynthia and Lucario had definitely discovered Sylveon's little trick.

Interestingly, after glancing at the ground beneath Fairy Cloth's feet, they looked up at each other in unison.

"It seems there's nothing left here."

Cynthia began to lie through her teeth.

"Luca!"

Lucario nodded, playing along with its trainer's performance.

All three actors delivered excellent performances, leaving the only audience member, Xia Chen, completely stunned.

Meanwhile, Cynthia had already called Lucario to leave, saying, "Let's go, let's go take a look over there."

The man and the dog turned and walked into the depths of the unexplored ruins, while Xianbu winked at Xia Chen and followed after them.

Xia Chen was left alone, staring at the mysterious black and gold scales on the ground, lost in thought.

In the end, desire triumphed over will. Xia Chen slowly walked to the scales, bent down, and picked them up.

He muttered under his breath, "I figured nobody would want this."

I'd like to recommend a friend's book, "Elves: Start with Axew and Get Hero Templates".

It's a very interesting cheat that allows elves to obtain various templates of LoL heroes.

YaYa is Darius, the main character is Sett, and according to the synopsis, there seems to be Fiora's Azure Blade Demon as well.

Chapter 207 Wow, the Golden Legend!

After some investigation, Cynthia and Xia Chen discovered that the importance of this ruin was even greater than they had originally thought.

This is because it is highly likely that this was a temple used by the ancient Sinnoh people to worship Dialga and Palkia.

As is well known, such sacrificial sites are often the places with the most cultural relics and the best places to find historical records such as stone tablets.

So after discovering those few items of unknown origin but exceptionally precious, Xia Chen and Xilona did not stop exploring the ruins, but continued to try to uncover this long-forgotten history.

The temple is very large. Although it looks like Tokkis flew back and forth in half an hour, it would take a long time to explore it thoroughly.

After exploring for a while longer and finding something similar to what they had found before, the two of them retreated from the cave.

Firstly, for safety reasons, I don't want to stay in an enclosed space for too long. Secondly, after a busy morning, it's time for lunch.

With the combined efforts of Garchomp and Roserade, the trees and weeds outside the cave were cleared away in less than half a minute, making room for lunch in a little while.

Next up is Xia Chen's performance.

At this point, the automatic stove that Vladali had given him came in handy again.

After a busy period of time, accompanied by the rays of sunlight and gentle breezes in the mountains and forests, Xia Chen, Xilona, ​​and the elves enjoyed a unique and delicious meal in this desolate wilderness.

"I thought we'd only be able to eat canned food or mixed stews for the next few days."

Taking a bite of the tender and juicy steak, Cynthia squinted her eyes happily and made a cute moaning sound.

…………

Xia Chen noticed that as they spent more time together, Cynthia was revealing more and more of herself in front of him.

She is no longer just the calm and decisive champion of stereotypes. Stripped of that facade, in real life she is a lovely woman with a mature figure and a youthful heart.

Indeed, being a champion trainer is a job, while being a mythology scholar is a passion—that's life!

Xia Chen smiled slightly, looking at Cynthia's happy expression because of the food he had made, and a sense of satisfaction and pride suddenly blossomed in his heart.

After a satisfying meal, it's time for a midday rest.

Roseradore used vines to weave a net bed for each of them, which was then hung between the trees. The dark green net bed was carefully polished with grass-type energy, and it looked comfortable and soft.

The early October sun was warm but not glaring, filtering through the leaves and casting dappled light and shadow on the ground and the two people.

Xia Chen and Xiluona lay leisurely on the swaying hammock, enjoying the tranquil afternoon.

Soroya restlessly pawed at Xia Chen's chest with its little paws, and after finding a suitable spot, it crawled into his clothes and began to doze off.

Because Roseradore's woven net bed was large enough, Kirlia and Sylveon habitually squeezed together with Xia Chen, curling up beside him in the most comfortable position like babies.

Half-asleep, Xia Chen seemed to hear Cynthia's soft voice say something.

"Xia Chen, would you like to consider becoming my assistant?"

Cynthia invited me to be her assistant?

Xia Chen was a little confused because of his state just now, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether what he heard came from reality or a dream.

He asked to confirm, "Sister Zhulan, were you just speaking?"

There was a sudden silence on the other end, and after several seconds, Cynthia said, "It's nothing."

Xia Chen also fell silent, a reaction that proved he hadn't misheard her words.

Sister Zhulan had previously invited me to become her assistant.

Why did they later deny it?

Did you regret it, or did you think you wouldn't agree?

Xia Chen didn't know.

However, Xia Chen knew that if she really pressed for an answer...

Although it is indeed very tempting and something that many people would dream of, I probably wouldn't agree to it.

He also has his own path to walk.

Perhaps this is why Cynthia ultimately didn't ask further?

…………

At 3 p.m., the archaeological team, who had rested for a while, got up from their afternoon nap and continued working.

Hirona's adjusted work plan is to thoroughly examine the above-ground parts of the ruins over the next two days, and then begin the more arduous underground work.

However, speaking of hard work, Xia Chen and Cynthia certainly don't need to do digging. Garchomp, a digging expert, is enough.

I got up at 3 p.m. to work and arrived at the place where I would have finished work in the morning and headed home at 3:30 p.m.

Considering that it would take another half hour to get back, Cynthia announced that work was called off again at 4:30.

In one afternoon, the actual working time was only one hour.

This working hour moved Xia Chen, who had previously suffered from the grueling 996 work schedule, to tears.

Needless to say, at night, although the ruins never see sunlight and there is little difference between day and night, someone like Cynthia would never work overtime.

After dinner, around the campfire, with nothing else to do, Cynthia started cosplaying as a teacher again, continuing the lesson she had taught Xia Chen that afternoon.

With a bright moon and few stars, the only sounds in the silent mountains were the soft popping of the campfire and Cynthia's patient and gentle explanations.

Xia Chen's Pokémon also gathered around to keep their trainer company as he listened attentively to the lesson.

Before we knew it, the first day of exploring the ruins of Cynthia had passed peacefully in such a warm atmosphere.

Late at night, in Xia Chen's tent.

With Cynthia around, there's no need to worry about who will keep watch like when we were traveling in the Carlos region.

At this moment, all was quiet, as if Xia Chen and all his elves had fallen asleep peacefully.

However, in reality, only Xia Chen was asleep.

As was the case on any other night, Zorua's body remained in this world, but his consciousness had already entered the spirit world to deliver souls.

Milotic curled up on the ground, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, but his mind was wandering as he thought about the events of the past few days.

Lying next to Xia Chen, Kirlia gently touched Xia Chen's body with her hand, as if sensing something. Then she quietly breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head at Xianbu.

And then there's Dorgonmesia, staring blankly into his big, bright yellow eyes, as if he were in a daze.

At this moment, his consciousness also entered the All Things Synthesis System in his mind.

…………

Doronmesia stared at the two items gleaming with golden light in the system's storage locker and fell into deep thought.

[Essence of Reginald] is an orange-quality material that Little Dragon obtained from the Dragon God of Dragon Island when he first met Xia Chen.

This was also the only orange-quality material he had before, and Little Dragon had never been willing to synthesize it for fear of wasting it.

However, from today onwards, the unique scarcity of Regidorago Essence will no longer exist.

Because today, Xia Chen gave him an equally precious treasure.

It's this [Giratina scale] right in front of you.

Orange quality!

Because of his low strength, Xia Chen and Xilona did not bring him along when they went to explore the ruins today.

But Xiao Duolong didn't expect that before going to bed that night, Xia Chen would secretly slip him a scale.

It didn't say anything about what it is, how to use it, or anything like that.

But the moment he sensed its aura, Doronmesia knew that this was a treasure that was absolutely no less than the essence of Regidorago.

And the system's assessment proved this. This scale is of orange quality, as precious as the essence of the Dragon God!

That's the Dragon God, revered by all the dragons of Dragon Island! So what's the origin of this Giratina?

Little Dragon couldn't understand.

However, he didn't need to understand it too much, because Xia Chen giving him this treasure meant that it was a resource that would be extremely beneficial to him.

The only question now is whether or not to combine these two materials.

Although there was previous experience of combining two blue-quality items into a purple-quality item, there were also frustratingly bad results like [Silk Giant Root].

Blue-quality common materials can be synthesized freely without any financial burden, but orange-quality materials, which are almost exclusively obtained from legendary Pokémon, are different.

It was undoubtedly a gamble.
