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

? ?

"Hey bro, you should be humming to the dream, why are you humming to me?" Ye Feng was speechless.

But... thinking about it, with the Dream on his head and the Phoenix King under his feet, I guess no one could be more majestic than him, right? I never thought I, Ye Feng, would have this day.

Ye Feng shouted in his heart.

Phoenix King carried Ye Feng, with Dream above Ye Feng's head, and they quickly passed through a long passage and arrived at the outer edge of the World Tree.

"This is...so spectacular!"

Ye Feng stared in disbelief at the World Tree behind him.

The World Tree was enormous, towering to the sky. Its trunk was entirely composed of rock layers, and its dense canopy gave Ye Feng the impression that it was a vast forest or something similar. Occasionally, flying sprites would peek out from under it.

The sky was azure, and the warm sunshine felt wonderful on his skin. Ye Feng couldn't help but yawn.

The ground stretched out as far as the eye could see, dotted with scattered lakes. Numerous spirits roamed the grasslands and frolicked in the lakes, creating a scene of peace and tranquility.

"This is different from the information I found before," Ye Feng recalled.

He had previously found a secret realm with a description very similar to the World Tree, but the information indicated that this secret realm was extremely dangerous and the environment was very harsh, completely different from what he saw now.

Ye Feng voiced his doubts to Meng Huan.

“That’s an illusion created by the World Tree,” Mew explained. “After all, I’m not here most of the time. Although Regice and the others protect me, they might not be able to hold them off if too many people break in. So I had the World Tree disguise this place as a very dangerous and harsh environment.”

"That way no one will come in."

"I see." Ye Feng nodded to indicate that he understood.

Ho-Oh's flight speed was several times faster than Togekiss's, and it quickly arrived at the exit of the secret realm.

"Little Feng, I won't see you off." Dream left Ye Feng's head.

"Okay." Ye Feng nodded.

"By the way, if you want to further develop your mental power, I suggest you look for the legendary spirits of the lake. Although they are not very strong, they have good abilities in terms of superpowers, which is quite suitable for you right now."

Ye Feng was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "The Three Sacred Mushrooms? Uxie, Memrigold, and Azelf?"

“That’s right, you do know about them too. In that case, I won’t say any more.” Dream nodded in satisfaction. Great, this will save me a lot of effort.

"But where am I supposed to find them?" Ye Feng scratched his head.

Dream scratched her head, thought for a moment, and said, "If I remember correctly, it's in the sea a little northeast of this country. There are a group of uninhabited islands there, and they live on one of them. But I don't remember the exact location. It's been a long time since I last saw them."

An uninhabited island in Northeast China? Ye Feng pondered for a while, feeling as if he had heard of it somewhere before, but couldn't quite place it.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go look for it." Ye Feng nodded.

"Goodbye then." Dream waved her little hand, and with a distortion in space, she disappeared from where she was.

"Let's leave here too," said Ho-Oh.

Before Ye Feng could even agree, the Phoenix King flapped its wings and plunged headfirst into the exit of the secret realm.

···

"vomit!"

In a forest, Ye Feng was bent over, clutching a tree trunk, retching incessantly. There was already a filthy mess on the ground. It took him a while to recover.

"That damned Phoenix King, did it on purpose?" Ye Feng looked up and glared fiercely at the departing Phoenix King.

He hadn't expected that the exit of the World Tree Secret Realm would be even more chaotic than the entrances and exits of other secret realms. Completely unprepared, he got carsick and almost vomited.

If it weren't for the fact that the Phoenix King was beneath his feet, Ye Feng would have vomited and who knows what would have happened. He covered his mouth and held it in until he landed, at which point he vomited uncontrollably.

Phoenix King didn't offer a single word of comfort; it simply flapped its wings and left, leaving Ye Feng alone there.

"Sigh! I thought I could ride the Phoenix King straight home. That would have been so glorious, maybe even making headlines the next day." Ye Feng sighed, "What a pity, what a pity."

"But where am I...?" Ye Feng looked around, his eyes filled with trees.

I took out my phone, only to find there was no signal—as for the Pokédex, the communication function is still in the experimental stage, not yet implemented, and unusable.

"Let's get out of here anyway," Ye Feng muttered, reaching out to touch Togekiss's Poké Ball.

"Keepes! Keepes!" As soon as Togekiss appeared, it flapped its wings (or retracted them?) and launched an attack on Ye Feng.

"What's going on?" Ye Feng was startled.

"Keith!"

"What? You blame me for not riding you? Uh, this..." Ye Feng scratched his head.

Why is Tokkis so concerned about his identity as a flying mount?

"Alright, alright, think about it. How many people in their lifetime will have the chance to ride Ho-Oh even once? You can brag about it for a lifetime, okay?"

"Besides, if I ride Ho-Oh, it's the same as you riding Ho-Oh, right? When you have kids, you can brag about it, can't you?"

Ye Feng started to comfort (not really) Pokkis.

Pokkis tilted his head, thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up. What Ye Feng said seemed to make a lot of sense! He immediately smiled happily and beckoned Ye Feng to come up.

Ye Feng chuckled inwardly; the elf was indeed innocent and adorable.

Tokis flapped its wings and carried Ye Feng quickly into the sky.

Ye Feng looked around. It seemed to be a mountain range, with lush green mountains everywhere, and he didn't see any towns for the time being.

"Where exactly are we?" Ye Feng scratched his head in frustration.

"Forget it, let's fly east." Ye Feng pondered for a moment, determined the direction, and pointed east.

Most of the mountains in China are concentrated in the central part and to the west. If you fly eastward, you are more likely to encounter towns.

Tokiss responded, using its protective and telekinetic powers to shield Ye Feng, and with a flap of its wings, it darted away in a flash.

Before Togekiss could fly very far, a projectile crackling with electricity suddenly shot into the sky and flew straight toward Togekiss.

"What is that?" Ye Feng's eyes narrowed. A sprite had actually launched a sneak attack?

"Get out of the way and go down," Ye Feng ordered calmly.

The cannonball looked menacing, but it wasn't actually very fast. Tokis twisted his body and easily dodged it.

It then plummeted rapidly towards the ground.

"You are?!"

As soon as Ye Feng landed, he heard a surprised cry.

Looking up, I discovered a Magneton exploding and a boy.

"Um, who are you...?" Ye Feng paused for a moment, feeling that this person looked familiar, but couldn't remember who he was.

"I'm Yao Tianjun, do you remember me?" Yao Tianjun walked over and greeted him with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Chapter 240 A chance encounter?

"Yao Tianjun?" Ye Feng suddenly realized, stepped forward, extended his hand and said with a smile, "Oh, it's you. I remember it's been quite a while since we last met."

"?" Now it was Yao Tianjun's turn to be confused.

He clearly remembered that this was only the second time he had met Ye Feng, so why did they act like they were old friends?

Actually, Ye Feng didn't think of it for a moment, but although he wasn't a socially awkward person, he was definitely not socially anxious either, and he knew very well how to behave at this time.

"Ah, really?" Yao Tianjun extended his hand and shook hands with Ye Feng, then replied blankly, "What are you doing here? Oh right, sorry. I just saw a Togekiss fly by and didn't see you, so I thought it was a wild Pokémon, and..."

Ye Feng was taken aback. "So that's why we launched a surprise attack. We mistook the house-elf for a wild one."

That makes sense, though. Ye Feng was standing on Tokiss's back, so he might not be visible from the ground.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Ye Feng patted Yao Tianjun's shoulder generously. "Anyway, it's nothing. But what are you doing here? I don't see any towns around here. Are you here to train?"

Yao Tianjun took a step back imperceptibly, shook his head with a strange look in his eyes: "No, my home is nearby. I came out to clear out the wild Pokémon in the area."

"Well, it's a small village, quite unique, you can't tell unless you get close."

Something unusual? Ye Feng pondered for a moment. He hadn't seen any villages while he was in the air. What did Yao Tianjun mean by that?

"Um, you still haven't told me what you're doing here?" Yao Tianjun asked, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.

"Ah? Oh! I was looking for resources in the secret realm when I accidentally fell into a hole. I didn't expect it to be another exit from the secret realm. I didn't know where I was when I came out. Luckily, I ran into you."

"Since you live nearby, you should be quite familiar with this area, right? Could you give me directions? I need to get home quickly," Ye Feng casually made up an excuse.

The secret realm doesn't actually have just one exit, but most exits are relatively stable. Unless there are special circumstances, people won't use the other exits, so Ye Feng's words weren't exactly a lie.

We can't just casually tell everyone about Ho-Oh and Mew, can we?

Ye Feng had already remembered who this person named Yao Tianjun was.

When I visited Imperial Capital University, I encountered a very strong trainer in the public battle arena who used Magneton.

The two even had a match against each other.

When Ye Feng reviewed the situation later, he realized that Magneton's strength might actually be slightly stronger than Kirlia's.

Before battling Kirlia, Magneton had already gone through several battles, most of which were overwhelming victories, but it still had some stamina depletion, so it looked like it had only fought to a draw.

Therefore, it's not surprising that Magneton defeated Kirlia.
