I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

Gardevoir nodded and took two steps forward.

Togekiss was on high alert. This Gardevoir was very strong. Although it had already decided to go with this human, it still had to show him its strength so that it wouldn't be looked down upon and unable to enjoy its delicious food.

"Keepes!" Togekis cried, flapping its wings to launch an attack.

···

···

The battle was over quickly.

"Kee~" Togekiss lay face up on the ground, looking on with a disbelieving expression about the existence of elves.

What happened? Where am I? What am I doing? I think I was just defeated in a few moves?

"I won, Togekiss! From now on, you're our partner." Ye Feng took out a Poké Ball and walked forward with a smile.

"Ki!" Pokkis snorted and turned his head.

"Hmm? You still don't want to come with me?" Ye Feng looked regretful. "Then forget it. I don't like forcing elves."

"Ki?!" Pokkis panicked when he saw that Ye Feng was really planning to leave.

I was just being reserved, couldn't you have said a few more nice words? Just a couple more words, no, just one more and I would have agreed!

"Hmm?" Ye Feng turned around in confusion and found that Togekiss's gaze was fixed on his backpack. After thinking for half a second, he took out two Power Cubes from it.

"you want to eat?"

“Ki!” Pokkis shook its head frantically, but its gaze fixed on the Power Cube betrayed its thoughts.

Ye Feng smiled and walked up to Togekiss—Togekiss's gaze remained fixed on the Power Cube throughout the walk.

"Come on, open your mouth." Ye Feng stretched out his hand.

Togekiss hesitated for a moment, its elven pride preventing it from doing so, but in the end, succumbed to the delicious temptation and exclaimed, "Ahhhhh!"

Ye Feng accurately threw the energy cube into Togekiss's mouth.

"Kee~" Tokiss happily ate, his eyes narrowing again.

"Okay, I'm done eating. I'll be going now."

Ye Feng turned to leave, but felt something pulling him back. He turned around and saw that it was Tokiss holding his trench coat with its wings.

"What's wrong?" Ye Feng asked, feigning confusion.

Togekiss was silent for a moment, then looked at Ye Feng, then at the Poké Ball in his hand, and finally at the backpack.

"Gee!" Togekiss stretched out its wings and touched the Poké Ball, then was sucked in by a red light.

···

"By the way, Tokiss, why did you look at me with such disdain when we first met?"

Inside the cave where they were resting, Ye Feng asked curiously.

“Ki?” Pokkiss paused, then shook his head vigorously.

"Huh?" Ye Feng looked puzzled.

Tokiss shook his head again and continued eating the energy cube.

"What does that mean?" Ye Feng still didn't understand.

Having just captured Togekiss, they hadn't yet established any rapport, so Ye Feng didn't understand its meaning and had to look to Gardevoir for help.

Gardevoir stiffened and shook its head vigorously to indicate that it didn't know, but it was secretly overjoyed.

What is it? Ye Feng looked at the two Pokémon suspiciously, but obviously he couldn't get anything out of them. In the end, he could only look at the most honest Arcanine.

Just as Arcanine was about to say something, Gardevoir immediately glared at it.

Arcanine stared at Ye Feng with a bewildered expression.

? ?

We still don't know why Pokkiss disliked Ye Feng that day.

Chapter 221 Earthquake Drama

Ye Feng shook his head. Since he couldn't get an answer, he might as well let it go. It probably wasn't anything good anyway, and forcing it out might only make him unhappy.

"Pokekiss, have you ever seen the Ice Stone?" Ye Feng changed the subject, not forgetting his main purpose for coming to the secret realm.

"Keeth?" Pokkith looked at Ye Feng with a puzzled expression.

Ye Feng pondered for a moment, then took out his Pokédex and tapped a few times to open the page on evolution stones. Pointing to several evolution stones on the screen, he asked, "Have you ever seen any stones that are very similar to these, but are white in color and may have snowflake patterns inside?"

Pokkis leaned closer, stared at the screen for a while, and began to ponder deeply.

Ye Feng watched it nervously. It would be best if Togekiss had seen the Ice Stone, so that he could save a lot of effort and not have to run all over the secret realm. No one can guarantee that the Ice Stone will definitely be in the center of the secret realm, right?

After a long while, Tokiss suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Feng with sparkling eyes.

"You've seen it before?" Ye Feng excitedly leaned closer.

Pokkis shook his head vigorously.

"??"

Why are you so agitated? Are you messing with me?

Ye Feng was exasperated and gave Pokémon a hard knock on the head.

"Never mind, have you ever seen that frozen stone?" Ye Feng sighed and asked again.

"?" Pokkis tilted his head, his face full of question marks.

It had never seen an Ice Stone before, but it could at least guess that it was some kind of evolution stone. But what was a Frozen Stone? Was it a frozen stone?

"Frozen stone is..." Ye Feng gestured for a long time, then suddenly realized he didn't know how to describe it.

Ice Stone is out of the question; at least there are other types of evolution stones for reference, so even if there are differences in appearance, they won't be too significant.

But what exactly does frozen stone look like?

The frozen stones are different in each generation of the game, and to be honest, although the game's graphics weren't bad, they were really hard to see clearly.

As for the scenes where Dongshi appears in the anime... well, I've forgotten.

Ye Feng tried to recall what the Frozen Stone looked like in the game, and then tried to describe it to Togekiss, but all he got was a Pokémon with its eyes rolling and a confused expression.

Well, it seems I'll have to find it myself.

Ye Feng sighed.

After resting for a while, mainly to have a brief chat with Togekiss, since it's a local bigwig here, and we'll need it to guide us during our explorations in the secret realm.

Through their conversation, Ye Feng learned that Togekiss was a Pokémon that lived alone, had no other family members, and had not seen any other Togepi, Togekiss, or Togekiss in the Secret Realm.

How did Pokekis end up here? Ye Feng was puzzled.

Could it be that an elf egg was left here? Or perhaps its kind has been eliminated by the harsh living conditions of the secret realm?

Togekiss didn't know that ever since it had memories, it had always lived as an elf.

Ye Feng could hardly imagine how it had survived in such an environment when it was still a Togepi...

No wonder he developed such a combative personality; if he weren't so strong, he probably would have become fertilizer for this land long ago.

"It's okay, you won't be alone anymore, we're here for you." Ye Feng comforted Togekis by patting its head.

Gardevoir and the others also gathered around.

"Keepes..." Togekiss looked at Ye Feng, then at the other Pokémon, and was immediately moved. It hugged Ye Feng and burst into tears.

Ye Feng frantically tried to comfort Togekis, but finally managed to calm it down by taking out an Energy Cube. Togekis stopped crying and even laughed as soon as it saw the Energy Cube, making Ye Feng wonder if its crying was actually for the Energy Cube.

···

Once outside the cave, Ye Feng looked at the sky and then at Togekiss—he was about to try flying on his own Pokémon for the first time in his life.

Having eaten its fill, Togekiss stood obediently with its back to Ye Feng, ready for him to mount it at any moment.

"Hmm..." Ye Feng gestured to show the size of himself and Togekiss. Togekiss wasn't a large Pokémon. Although this one was a bit bigger, it was only about the same height as Ye Feng, so he couldn't ride it like he did with Arcanine.

However, Pokkis claimed to have a special way to become a suitable mount, so Ye Feng could only board it with some skepticism.

As soon as Ye Feng stepped onto it, a circular energy shield enveloped Togekis's back, protecting Ye Feng inside.

"This is... protection? Hmm, and it also has telekinesis?" Ye Feng looked at the energy shield in surprise, while feeling a telekinetic force supporting him.

"Keeth!" Tokkis proudly raised its head and flapped its wings.

I see. With protection in place, there's no need to worry about Ye Feng falling. Using telekinesis to hold him up can reduce the burden. It's indeed a good method.

"Let's go!" Ye Feng waved and shouted with high spirits.

I finally have a Pokémon that can fly; I'll pass on the half-baked Gyarados.

···

While Ye Feng was searching for the Ice Stone in the secret realm, many things were also happening in the outside world.

First, the China Trainers Association announced the invention of the Pokédex through a press conference, causing quite a stir in the world of Pokémon studies.
