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

After more than a month of treatment, Deoxys's condition gradually stabilized, and Senbu no longer needed to inject too much life energy into him each day.

Basically, ten or so minutes each morning is enough.

Right now, Deoxys, having just been healed, is radiating a magnificent green light from its entire crystal. It floats up from the windowsill and flies affectionately around Senbu and Xia Chen, as if expressing its gratitude.

A few days before leaving Zhijiang, the crystal core recovered from its dormancy thanks to Xianbu's continued healing.

Whether it had amnesia or was just its nature, it was extremely timid upon waking up, like a kitten that had just arrived in a strange environment.

If any person or Pokémon other than Xia Chen and Sylveon approaches, it will immediately hide in the small pouch hanging on Sylveon's body. Gardevoir is slightly better in this regard.

But when facing Xia Chen and Xian Bu, the Crystal Core becomes very affectionate and docile, just like now.

"Are you feeling any better today, Deoxys?"

For some unknown reason, the crystal core can understand human speech, and it also responds with light waves.

The high-frequency flashing waveform at this moment represents affirmation or happiness.

…………

Xia Chen also asked Deoxys a series of questions after it awoke.

For example, does it have companions, and where are those companions?

How did it become a crystal? Did it encounter a very large, green dragon-like spirit and get beaten up like this?

What conditions are needed to restore it to its original form?

some type of

However, Deoxys was completely ignorant of most of the questions, and only responded to the last one.

After Xia Chen made numerous guesses and asked questions, one thing was finally confirmed.

To fully restore Deoxys's power, it is necessary to use the energy of the meteorite from which it was born.

And that meteorite is most likely with Team Rocket.

Well, I probably can't help Deoxys anytime soon.

It goes without saying that the Rockets' oversight of the meteorite was absolutely top-notch.

Perhaps second only to Mewtwo in their research, if they were to pursue this project.

In this situation, venturing into the Rockets' base is essentially no different from entering the Paddy Cavern.

They were all on the verge of death.

The bad news is that the meteorite is with them, so maybe the Deoxys in Team Rocket's possession will wake up sooner.

These are not issues that Xia Chen, at his level, should be concerned with; he only told Xilona about the situation.

She is the only person in the world whom she completely trusts and who has the ability to handle this matter.

Of course, the latter is not actually certain.

But if Cynthia can't handle it, then no one else can.

During the video call, Sister Zhulan hesitated for a long time before finally saying that she would be careful about this matter, but she could not guarantee anything else.

Xia Chen also understood that Team Rocket was not a dark organization operating in the Sinnoh region. If the Sinnoh Champion could also interfere in the affairs of the Kanto and Johto regions, then there would be a lot of trouble.

Therefore, matters concerning these two extraterrestrial visitors must be temporarily put on hold.

Xia Chen felt that preventing both Deoxys from falling into the hands of the Rockets was already the greatest contribution he had made to the world.

Putting aside his memories, Xia Chen chatted with Deochis for a while to build rapport before going into the kitchen to make breakfast for the whole family.

That's the downside of the Pokémon world. While there's definitely more heartwarming companionship, raising a large group of Pokémon is a real and exhausting task.

Putting aside everything else, the time and energy spent on cooking every day is considerable.

Of course, with Xia Chen's current financial resources, he could easily eat out every day or hire a professional chef, but Xia Chen still prefers to do things himself in this matter.

As a chef, bringing happiness to loved ones and spirits through my cooking is a joyful thing in itself.

But the price of happiness is that Xia Chen spends at least three or four hours a day cooking.

If you have Mingyi or Cynthia at home, the time will be extended, since it's not just about having one more person, but about having an extra team of Pokémon.

If the three of us live together in the future, wouldn't that be double the problem?

Wait, how could I have such a dangerous thought?

Xia Chen quickly stopped this heart-pounding daydream and focused on cooking.

…………

After breakfast was prepared, Mingyi and the other elves woke up and came out to wash up and eat.

Good morning, Xia Chen.

Mingyi, dressed in a dress embroidered with wisteria snakes, seemed to have not slept well, yawning repeatedly from exhaustion.

Xia Chen took off his apron, ladled a bowl of piping hot seafood porridge that he had been simmering over low heat for Mingyi, and handed it to her, asking, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"call--"

Mingyi blew on the steaming porridge, and the heat and aroma wafted up, obscuring her slightly flushed cheeks.

"It's alright, I didn't do anything strange."

Xia Chen shook his head speechlessly. This girl never lies. What she meant was, "I didn't sleep well because I did something strange last night."

As for what strange things happened, Xia Chen had no idea.

Mingyi guiltily changed the subject, saying, "Oh, right, I have an early morning class today, so I won't be able to keep you company for a while. You can wander around the school by yourself."

Xia Chen nodded and replied, "It's alright, you go ahead with your work. I'm going to find your principal anyway."

Before coming, Yu Chaohua mentioned to him the principal of Orange Academy, Claver. Although he didn't intend to seek any special treatment, Xia Chen should still pay him a visit.

After breakfast, Mingyi took the elves out to class, and Xia Chen went with her. The principal's office was on the top of the castle-like teaching building.

The path leading from the dormitory area to the teaching building was bustling with people of all ages and genders, but what they all had in common was that they were all wearing the same college uniform.

Occasionally, you can see a scruffy-bearded uncle with a beer belly wearing a youthful school uniform, looking comical yet commanding respect.

This is the true embodiment of the spirit of lifelong learning!

So the older man wasn't unusual; it was Xia Chen, who wasn't wearing a school uniform, who stood out. Coupled with his companion, a shiny Gardevoir, he attracted almost 100% attention.

Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, Xia Chen arrived at the principal's office on the rooftop.

Three knocks were made on the door, neither too loud nor too soft, and a slightly serious voice came from inside the room.

"Please come in."

…………

Xia Chen pushed open the door and entered. Inside the elegantly decorated office sat a thin, elderly man in an orange uniform.

The old man wore glasses, and although his hair was white, he looked energetic and his overall demeanor could be described in two words: gentleman.

This is Claver, the current principal of Orange Academy.

Claver stopped what he was doing, looked up at the unfamiliar visitor, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"You are."

Xia Chen introduced himself: "Hello, Principal. My name is Xia Chen. I come from Shangjing University in the Donghuang region. I heard you mentioned before I left, so I came here to pay you a visit."

Claver asked in surprise, "You're Xia Chen? Come, sit down and let's talk."

Although you can't recognize him at first glance, Xia Chen is quite famous, and Clavel naturally remembers him.

Following the host's lead, Xia Chen entered the room and sat down at Claver's table.

What would you like to drink? Would black tea be alright?

Xia Chen smiled and nodded, "You can arrange it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the teapot on the table suddenly floated up and then poured a steaming cup of black tea into the teacup.

This is not a superpower, nor is it a paranormal event; it's simply because that teapot is a "fearful teapot."

To be precise, the teapot is the black tea inside; the teapot itself is merely a vessel.

This was the first time Xia Chen had ever seen this elf, and while he was curious, he couldn't help but worry about one thing.

Is this stuff drinkable?

Claver noticed Xia Chen's doubts and smiled, "Not only can you drink the black tea from the Pot of Bhu, but it's also good for your health. Look, I'm thirty years old and still so energetic, all because I drink Pot of Bhu tea every day."

Xia Chen silently looked at Clavel's pale hair and loose skin, and slowly put down the teacup he had been holding.

Claver laughed heartily: "Just kidding. In your Donghuang terms, I'm almost seventy, but the tea from the Busihu is indeed drinkable, and very delicious."

Xia Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly to himself. He never expected that a principal who looked serious and upright on the outside was actually a lively old man.

No wonder he could get along with his own unconventional principal. However, after all that farce, they did become much more friendly.

Xia Chen silently complained, taking a sip of the still steaming black tea.

It has a sweet and mellow flavor with a long-lasting aroma, and also a faint, unique fragrance reminiscent of some kind of tree fruit.

Even Xia Chen, who knows nothing about tea, could still say, "Good tea."

The lid of the teapot was lifted, and a magical spirit with a nose and eyes, made of brownish-red liquid, appeared—this was the true form of the teapot.

Bu Si Hu looked at Xia Chen smugly, as if asking, "Are you sure you don't want a refill of this delicious tea?"

However, Xia Chen politely declined, saying, "No, thank you."

It tastes good, but drinking a fairy-like drink just feels a bit off.
