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

Xia Chen and Nimo leaned close to the phone screen, looking at the information that had just been sent.

Nemo read the information aloud: "Fire type: Melok, Poison type: Akuma, Fairy type: Ordiga, Fighting type: Pipa, Dark type: Pina!"

Nemo's voice became noticeably excited when she read out the last name.

"Pina... how could it be him?"

Xia Chen asked in confusion, "What's wrong with this person? Do you know him?"

Nemo's expression was unusually serious. She said in a deep voice, "Pina is the former student council president of Orange Academy."

"The former student council president?" Xia Chen murmured, repeating.

What happened to a student council president who became a street gang leader?

Nemo said slowly, "When I first entered the school, I received a lot of help from senior Pina. Although he sets a lot of rules that are annoying, he is actually a very trustworthy person. I want to ask him in person why he joined the Celestial Star Team."

Xia Chen respected Nemo's choice, "Then you'll handle Pina?"

Nemo nodded and said, "Yes, thank you. By the way, I won't take your 20 million bounty."

Xia Chen was shocked. They didn't even want 20 million? What kind of family background do they have?

Do you have a mine at home?

As Xia Chen was reminiscing, Nemo added, "By the way, the school will be launching a treasure hunt soon. Students will be able to travel freely throughout Padia to find their treasures. We can take this opportunity to make our move."

"Okay, you arrange it."

Xia Chen nodded without hesitation.

The two discussed their battle plan, and before they knew it, it was eleven o'clock.

Xia Chen glanced at his phone and just then received a message from Mingyi.

"Mingyi just finished class, want to go eat together?"

Nemo's eyes lit up. "Did you make this?"

Xia Chen nodded reluctantly, but he had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.

As expected, Nemo clasped her hands together and stared at Xia Chen with her bright, expectant eyes.

"Can I bring my elves with me?"

Xia Chen sighed.

Three people and a dozen or so elves—they should just switch careers and become cafeteria cooks.

Chapter 246 The Supernatural Incident at the Spirit Restaurant in Brewmaster City (6k, beginning of the month)

Please vote with monthly tickets!

It was 1 p.m. in Xia Chen's temporary dormitory.

After finishing their "housewarming party," the three chatted on the sofa while the elves played and frolicked inside the house.

Fairy and Little Dragon were quite outgoing, and soon they were playing around with Nemo's newly acquainted elves.

As mentioned before the meal, Nemo really didn't hold back and brought all six of her Pokémon over to freeload.

Fortunately, the dormitory that Claver lent out was quite large; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to accommodate more than a dozen elves playing together in the living room.

Nemo is not a type-specific trainer.

Besides Babutopril, who is an Electric/Fighting Pokémon, her other Pokémon include the Padia starter Meowth, the Steel-type Worgen, the Daytime form of Lycanroc, the evolved form of the Earth Dragon brother that Xia Chen only met in this world, Earth Dragon Fragment, and Goodra.

With six Pokémon possessing a total of eight attributes, he truly deserves the title of multi-attribute trainer.

With his mental abilities becoming increasingly sharp, Xia Chen can now almost judge the strength of an elf just by its aura.

As the leading young trainer at Orange Academy and even the entire Padia region, Nemo's strength is undeniable.

Roughly estimated, the strongest of them, Magic Masked Cat, is definitely at least three-star elite level.

In other words, if they were placed in this year's Donghuang Youth Tournament, they would basically be at a level where they would dominate.

Of course, this is just theory, after all, Xia Chen also defeated several opponents who seemed to be much stronger than him in the competition.

Xia Chen increasingly felt that traveling more was the right choice. The ranking competition within Beijing University was almost no challenge for him now, unless he was ranked against Hu Yang.

But you get tired of fighting the same opponent too often. New regions mean new adventures, new opponents, and new Pokémon.

Thinking this, Xia Chen suddenly felt a strange sense of anticipation for challenging the gang leaders of the Tianxing team.

…………

"Speaking of which, the [treasure hunt] activity for this semester is probably going to start next week. Last semester, the [treasures] you found were the Earth King and the Liangji Dragon. What are your goals this time, Mingyi?"

Nemo seemed to have feelings for Mingyi that went beyond what a senior should do for a junior, and asked with concern.

"Yes, I think I'd like to start trying out a gym."

Mingyi tapped her chin with her finger, pondering for a moment.

"As for the treasures."

Her gaze swept somewhere, and she paused slightly. "I have a goal too, but I can't tell you that."

"alright."

Nemo, being a carefree person, didn't delve into the matter. She turned around and hooked her arm around Xia Chen's shoulder, asking, "Xia Chen, what about you?"

Xia Chen calmly removed Nemo's arm and replied, "Me? I'm not a student of your Orange Academy."

Nemo patiently pressed on, "It doesn't matter. Don't you want to gain anything from your trip?"

Without hesitation, Xia Chen retorted, "Isn't the growth and experience gained from the journey itself the greatest reward?"

"Well"

Nemo nodded repeatedly, her eyes sparkling. "I see. I'll use this answer next time the principal asks me this question!"

Xia Chen was speechless. So that's why this guy kept asking.

As the three were chatting, another call came in from their Rotom cell phones.

Another Cassiopeia?

Xia Chen took out his phone and saw that the number was saved as Claver. He was slightly surprised. Did he get news about the Money-Gathering Spirit so quickly?

Upon answering the phone, Xia Chen greeted, "Hello, Principal."

But what came through the phone was Clavel's questioning voice, "I heard you were speeding around campus on my Motorcycle Lizard this morning?"

Xia Chen sighed helplessly, "...That's true."

Although he was unaware of the school's rules on a subjective level, he did indeed speed.

"My motorcycle lizard is a bit mischievous, please bear with it."

Xia Chen had expected the principal to reprimand him or even take back the Motor Lizard, but to his surprise, the principal changed the subject and apologized on behalf of the Motor Lizard.

"Yes, thank you for your concern."

Although Xia Chen knew this was the principal's way of winning people over, he still felt much better.

"Also, I heard from Nemo that you've also participated in the [Eliminate Stars] operation. Regardless of the outcome, I want to express my gratitude to you. The school's chairperson, Ms. Yuci, is also very concerned about this matter and will provide you with assistance if necessary."

Also, is it compassionate?

Xia Chen raised an eyebrow. He had done his homework before coming to Padiya, and Ci was the current Padiya champion.

"Okay, thank you, Champion Ye Ci."

"One last thing, we've found a lead on the whereabouts of the Money-Seeking Spirit."

Claver knew how to keep people in suspense; he only revealed what Xia Chen cared about most at the very end.

"Yes, I'm listening. Please go ahead."

"Several classmates have seen traces of the Money-Gathering Spirit in Niangguang City, but it was a Money-Gathering Spirit in its walking form, which ran very fast. They didn't have any intention of taming the Money-Gathering Spirit, so they ignored it."

"I understand, thank you for the clue."

"You're welcome. Just give me a call if you need anything. Have a pleasant trip to the Parthian region."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Chen fell into thought.

Is it Niangguang City?

…………

Although he had obtained a clue about the Money-Seeking Spirit, Xia Chen did not immediately set off for Niangguang City.

Because of their passion for coins, money-seeking spirits will dwell in crowded places.

Niangguang is the second largest city in the Padiya region, and also the most technologically advanced and commercially vibrant city.

Unless something unexpected happens, the spirit that seeks wealth will basically not leave this auspicious place. It doesn't matter whether it goes a few days earlier or a few days later, so it's better to spend a few days preparing properly.

The Money-Gathering Spirit is small in size but fast, especially when it's running away, thanks to its [escape] ability.

When the time comes, it will just crawl into any manhole cover that can be seen on the roadside, and then it will be nowhere to find it.

Therefore, Xia Chen felt that a plan to subdue them should still be made. If it could be done by strategy, that would be even better.

So, for the next few days, Xia Chen stayed in his dormitory preparing his plan to capture the Money-Gathering Spirit and to prepare for the Stardust Operation.

Add to that daily training, occasional battles and exchanges with Nemo, and other trivial matters, and before we knew it, it was March 6th, the day the Orange Academy [Treasure Hunt] event began.

On this day, thousands of students will set off from school to embark on adventures throughout the Padiya region in search of their own treasures.

Of course, this activity is not mandatory; some students will still choose to stay at the college to continue their academic studies, but they are still a minority.

Mingyi and Nemo are naturally two of the majority.

Mingyi will begin her gym challenge journey in Bright City, which happens to be the same route as Xia Chen, while Nemo will head west alone. Xia Chen guesses that she is going to challenge Pina.

The three said goodbye in the square at the school gate and went their separate ways.

The distance between Tsukidai City and Niangguang City is not too far, only two or three hundred kilometers.

Therefore, Xia Chen and Ming Yi did not take a plane or train directly, but instead set off on motorcycles.

Having been in the Padia region for more than half a year, Mingyi naturally followed local customs and captured a Moto Lizard as a tool spirit.
