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

The resources required to grow into such a young gym leader are by no means insignificant.

It's not that it's impossible, but to get to this point from the slums in a short time, you'd have to be at least as outstanding as Xia Chen, right?

It's not that I'm praising Xia Chen, but unless you're like Xia Chen, possessing both exceptional talent as a trainer and the ability to earn a lot of money through side hustles...

Mingyi couldn't imagine that a child from the slums could grow into the gym leader of the second largest city in the Padiya region within ten years.

No, if it's Qishu, perhaps she also has the capital behind her?

Recalling Xia Chen's speculation yesterday and what she had seen and heard today, Mingyi felt that the conjecture was quite likely.

Because of Qi Shu's behavior in front of her agent, she didn't act like the head of a venue at all.

Agents, at best, are merely a microcosm of capital.

Therefore, it is almost self-evident who truly controls the Brewing Light Dojo.

…………

"Cuck!"

The croaking of the frog interrupted Mingyi's thoughts.

Looking up, I saw that my Pokémon had just gotten off the ride called [Roller Coaster].

"So, was it fun?"

Mingyi patted the Liangjilong, which was swaying behind her and clearly hadn't recovered yet, and asked with a smile.

The dizzy and confused Liangjilong didn't waste any words and immediately buried his head in Mingyi's arms.

The aloof Frog Bro shook his head nonchalantly, as if to say, "I don't feel anything at all at this level," but his slightly trembling webbed feet betrayed his true feelings.

Cinderace, who loves to compete with Froakie, ruthlessly exposed this scene, and then the embarrassed and annoyed Froakie spat out a mouthful of foam, and the two Pokémon started their usual chasing and fighting.

Over there, Xia Chen, having finished dealing with the enthusiastic fans, led Sylveon and Gardevoir through the encirclement and walked over.

He said with a pained expression, "How about we go back? That video from yesterday got such a huge response; it feels like the whole amusement park is full of my fans now."

Mingyi nodded nonchalantly, "Sure, where shall we go next?"

Xia Chen smiled and waved his phone, "Sunflower Restaurant, we've got a job!"

Having finally escaped the dojo, Kiju naturally followed along, half-heartedly.

For Kiju, everything outside the dojo was new and exciting.

Whether it was the amusement park or participating in Xia Chen and his team's "Catch the Money-Gathering Spirit" activity, it was a different side of the world that she had never experienced before.

It wasn't until nightfall that she realized she had spent a long time without spotlights or cameras.

The excessive relaxation even gave her a sense of unreality and anxiety.

After being taken back to the Brewmaster Gym by Adrina, all these feelings turned into a familiar sense of oppression.

Listening to her agent's rambling, she even began to doubt whether what she had experienced during the day was real or an illusion.

In the bustling amusement park, she experienced for the first time the feeling of being in a public area yet unnoticed.

She can eat ice cream without restraint, something she wasn't allowed to do because of her figure; she can freely visit amusement parks she never had time to go to before; and she's made people she could perhaps call friends.

But upon returning to this cage-like dwelling, everything vanished completely.

So clean that it left no trace except for the memories in my mind.

"We're opening an hour earlier tomorrow, so I'll have the steward wake you up an hour earlier, understand?"

"Ah."

Qi Shu unconsciously emitted a nasal sound.

Adrina nodded in satisfaction. "Then you should get some rest. I'm leaving now. Oh, and please prepare for Saturday's event as well."

"I see."

Saturday? Going deep-sea fishing with Xia Chenming and the others would be so much fun, right?

Qi Shu's thoughts drifted further and further away, as if that day had already arrived.

…………

Saturday is neither too close nor too far, only two days away.

These past two days, Xia Chen and Ming Yi have been living very regularly.

In the morning, I first went to challenge the gym, but failed. Then at noon, I went to a restaurant to eat and catch a Money Spirit.

The afternoon is free time, and the two usually choose to find a gym to train their Pokémon or visit some of the more famous attractions in Breeze City.

In the evening, just like at noon, you can freeload at the restaurant, catch the money-gathering spirit, and collect three coins in a row.

After four meals and emptying the four treasure chests of the Money-Gathering Spirit, Xia Chen now had more than five hundred gold coins in his hands, nearly two hundred of which were completely mutated coins.

My own money-gathering spirit still shows no signs of evolving.

Xia Chen was not discouraged. His journey in Padiya had only just begun. Water dripping on water will eventually wear away stone.

Xia Chen was also keeping track of what was happening on Qi Shu's side, and she was livestreaming the dojo challenge as usual these past two days.

Looking at the still radiant and energetic Qishu on the screen, Xia Chen felt quite emotional.

Is this really the same girl I saw a couple of days ago?

Two days passed quickly, and before we knew it, Saturday had arrived.

As a coastal city, and a highly developed one at that, Yachts are certainly a staple in Nyangguang City.

Xia Chen certainly didn't buy one on such a large scale; he only rented one.

Even so, the two-day rental of the luxury yacht, as well as the various expenses such as hiring elf crew members, cost Xia Chen nearly 100,000 yuan.

So, at 10 a.m. on a sunny and breezy morning, everyone was present and everything was ready.

woo-

With a melodious whistle, the ship slowly began to move under the blue sky and white clouds.

The luxury yacht named [Electric Swallow] kicked up white waves as it set sail from Lota Port in Niangguang City, slowly heading towards the Paga Sea between Padiya and Galar.

…………

Although the main purpose of this trip was to experience sea fishing, the trip was expected to last two days, so it was impossible to start fishing right away.

Inside the cockpit, Captain Xia Chen and First Mate Xian Bu were studying the intelligent driving system.

This yacht is expensive for a reason; the steering system alone is staffed by Rotom, a master of navigation and ocean knowledge.

This further demonstrates that the electronic ghosts in the Elf World are more trusted by people than artificial intelligence.

As for his own phone, Rotom, it served as the photographer for this deep-sea fishing trip.

The intelligent driving system was simple and easy to understand, and with Rotom's guidance, the two of them quickly figured it out.

After setting the target location and speed, Xia Chen and Xianbu stepped out of the cockpit.

The weather in early March was perfect, with bright but not scorching sunshine. As the boats sailed through the waves, the sea breeze gently swept by, bringing gusts of cool early spring air.

The vast ocean, the blue sky, the long-winged gulls and electric petrels swooping down to prey in the low sky, the giant flying fish leaping out of the water and gliding, and the tarsier clinging to their bodies; and the magnificent swarms of stinging jellyfish, like a field of red agate.

Xia Chen took a deep breath of the salty, humid air unique to the ocean and thought to himself, "This is what travel is all about!"

I've been busy at work these past few days, so I haven't had much time to write. Please forgive me.

I haven't forgotten about the extra chapter; I still owe two chapters.

Chapter 253 An Unknown Elf is Approaching Loto at Supersonic Speed!

5.6k)

This was not only Xia Chen's first time at sea, but also the first time the elves had ever experienced the ocean, and even Milotic was seeing the ocean for the first time.

However, one Eevee that lived two lives is an exception.

Therefore, the elves were just as excited as Xia Chen.

Minas had been swimming alongside the boat ever since it set off, occasionally leaping out of the water to let Xia Chen know that he hadn't lost them.

With his speed and stamina, Xia Chen wasn't worried.

Gardevoir stood at the very front of the deck, gazing into the distance, letting the sea breeze caress her. Her long white dress billowed behind her, like a flag on the [Electric Swallow].

Little Dragon behind her was puzzled to find that he was moving backward relative to the boat while suspended in mid-air, so he kept flying forward in an attempt to maintain a stationary position relative to the boat.

Meanwhile, the sticky baby, who was quietly sitting on the deck, looked at the idiot with a disdainful gaze.

The spirits of Mingyi were also doing their own thing on the spacious deck, some basking in the sun like the Earth King and the Serpent King, and others playing and frolicking like the Flame King and the Frog.

Qishu also brought along Electric Petal, Electric Belly Frog, and Mismagius, along with three other Pokémon.

Of course, these weren't the elite Pokémon usually used in gym battles, but rather the gym-level Pokémon that had accompanied Qishu throughout his growth.

Perhaps because it was their first time meeting Xia Chen and the others, the three elves acted rather aloof, quietly basking in the sun in a secluded spot.

For a moment, the huge deck was bustling with activity, but Mingyi and Qishu were nowhere to be seen.

"Lord Serpent, where are Naruto and the others?"

Xia Chen asked curiously the monarch snake that was coiled up in the sunlight, photosynthesizing.

The arrogant snake looked up and glanced at Xia Chen, then flicked its tongue towards the second floor of the cabin.

That's where the bedrooms are on the ship.

Xia Chen nodded his thanks, "Thank you, Xianbu. You stay here and play, I'll go upstairs and take a look."

"Buy~"

…………

The yacht that Xia Chen rented was one of the larger ones, with a length of over twenty meters, enough for a dozen or so people to have a party on it.

However, this trip didn't involve more than a dozen people, but rather more than a dozen Pokémon.

Following the path, they found Mingyi's room. Before even entering, they heard strange noises coming from inside.

Can I not take it?
