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

During the break, Ye Feng ran into Zhang Qiang in the corridor. Zhang Qiang had a helpless smile on his face.

It wasn't a fake smile; it was an expression that showed he genuinely felt he had lost.

"Hmm?" Ye Feng's brow twitched, vaguely sensing that something was wrong, but it didn't seem like anything was wrong.

Judging from the messages conveyed by my own memories, this is indeed my daily life.

···

An old apartment building.

Ye Feng opened the door: "I'm back..."

"..." Ye Feng suddenly froze at the doorway.

I live alone, so why am I telling myself that I'm back?

"jingle!"

The sound of a text message on a mobile phone.

Ye Feng took out his phone and glanced at it. It was a message from his parents saying that they were too busy with work and the research institute wouldn't give them a holiday, so their plans to go on vacation during the National Day holiday would have to wait until next time.

"Why don't you move to a better place? We've been sending you enough money for living expenses every month," your parents asked in a message.

“One person doesn’t need to live in a fancy place. Besides, most of the people living here are students, so you can feel the learning atmosphere,” Ye Feng replied.

Ye Feng put down his phone and didn't continue reading the replies. They were all similar topics anyway, so they weren't very interesting.

"I feel like something's missing." Ye Feng looked around the room and scratched his head in frustration.

His gaze fell on the blender on the table: "Make me a glass of juice."

······

In the secret realm.

Ye Feng and Ralts finally escaped Rattata's pursuit and were carefully hiding under a tree.

"Smell~ It smells so good." Ye Feng sniffed hard, looked up and found that it was actually a tree fruit, with several candlewood fruits growing on it.

After hesitating for a long time, Ye Feng decided to pick two, as the running he had just done had left him feeling very hungry.

“Okay, Ralts, pick two, one for you and one for me,” Ye Feng said, holding up two fingers.

Ralts nodded and reached out with his psychic power to grab the Candlefruit.

Just as Ralts was about to touch the Candle Berry, he suddenly froze in place.

"What's wrong? Hurry up, or it'll be terrible if the owner of the tree fruit comes back," Ye Feng urged.

Ralts snapped out of his daze, used his psychic powers to gently pluck a Candlewood Fruit, and placed it in Ye Feng's palm.

Ralts' eyes glazed over for a moment, then pointed to his pocket before Ye Feng could speak.

"Hmm?" Ye Feng seemed a little surprised and took out the energy cube from inside.

Then, Ralts ate Power Cubes, while Ye Feng munched on Berries.

While eating the Energy Cube, Ralts secretly glanced at Ye Feng, its eyes filled with deep longing.

"What's wrong?" Noticing Ralts's gaze, Ye Feng looked over in confusion.

Ralts shook his head.

Ye Feng found it a little strange, but he didn't say anything and quickly ate the tree fruit.

Ralts suddenly remembered something, got up and circled the tree a few times before finally stopping in one spot.

"What's wrong, Ralts?" Ye Feng asked, following behind in confusion.

Ralts pointed to the ground.

"Is there something there?" Ye Feng squatted down in confusion, brushed aside the dead leaves on the ground, and revealed two strangely colored gems underneath.

"What is this?!" Ye Feng's eyes widened as he excitedly grabbed the two gems. "This is... a key stone? This color, orange and red, could it be a Charizard Mega Stone?"

"What incredible luck! Ralts, how did you find out?" Ye Feng happily picked up Ralts and showered it with kisses.

Ralts pushed Ye Feng's head away forcefully and barked a few times.

"What? Get out of here right now? Oh right, right!" Ye Feng nodded.

But before he could take a step, a sharp cry came from afar.

"Run! It's Pidgeot!" Ye Feng shouted, picking up Ralts and running for his life.

But Pidgeot's speed was far beyond his reach; the seemingly distant distance was quickly covered by Pidgeot's full-speed flight.

"Beep!" Pidgeot let out a long cry, flapped its wings and launched an air slash. The transparent air blade fell down, and Ye Feng managed to dodge it and was almost hit.

But the aftershocks of the explosion still made him stagger and almost fall.

Pidgeot kept chasing Ye Feng, but didn't kill him. It just kept attacking the ground behind Ye Feng with air slashes, as if it was toying with him.

"Don't be afraid, everything will be alright," Ye Feng whispered as he ran away, tightly holding Ralts in his arms.

Ralts poked its head out, glanced at Pidgeot in the sky, and then at Ye Feng's profile, where it was covered in scratches from pebbles and tree branches.

Ralts pursed his lips, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Damn it!" Ye Feng gritted his teeth, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid.

Pidgeot's pursuit, though seemingly non-lethal, left Ye Feng with absolutely no opening.

In addition, Ye Feng hadn't had enough rest, so his physical strength was quickly exhausted, and he was now relying entirely on willpower to keep going.

Finally, Pidgeot seemed to have gotten tired of playing and flapped its wings to block Ye Feng's path.

Ye Feng looked at the huge black shadow in the sunlight and swallowed hard.

There's no escaping it...

Ye Feng gritted his teeth, took out a Poké Ball to recall Ralts, and then held it tightly to his chest.

"I'm sorry, Ralts, it's all my fault..." Ye Feng closed his eyes.

"Chirp!" Pidgeot flapped its wings, and the attack was about to land.

With a loud "bang!", Ralts appeared in front of Ye Feng, its entire body glowing.

"Ralts? How did you get out?!" Ye Feng looked shocked; he had clearly locked the Poké Ball.

Ralts glanced back at Ye Feng—even though it was just a dream created by Darkrai, it still made the exact same choice as before…

However, unlike back then, I can protect you now.

The light of evolution suddenly shone from Ralts, its petite body rapidly growing, from a floor-length dress to a ballet tutu, and finally to a pure white gown...

In just a few seconds, Ralts evolved into Gardevoir.

Gardevoir opened its ruby-like eyes, looked up at the sky, and unleashed a torrent of violent psychic energy at Pidgeot, which was torn to pieces without any chance to resist.

As Pidgeot disappeared, the entire space trembled violently, accompanied by a series of cracking sounds. Gardevoir took one last look at Ye Feng before everything in front of it exploded into pieces.

At the same time, in Darkrai's cave, Gardevoir, which was sleeping, suddenly erupted with a fierce aura, and powerful psychic energy emanated from its body.

Darkrai's eyes narrowed, and it instantly appeared beside Gardevoir. It stretched out its hand, and black energy surged out, firmly confining the commotion caused by Gardevoir to this small space, without affecting other Pokémon.

Darkrai was somewhat surprised that he had broken through the dream realm so quickly.

Gardevoir opened its eyes and stared intently at Darkrai.

Why... does it look like it's crying? Darkrai was puzzled. What did it see in its dream?

Chapter 369 The Most Difficult Dream

"Hmph! You mere Yveltal, you still have to bow down to my Fairy-type moves, don't you?"

In the secret realm, Gardevoir successfully controlled Yveltal with its alluring voice, leaving Yveltal floating blankly in the sky.

Before Ye Feng could even rejoice for a few seconds, Yveltal's eyes flashed, and he roared to the sky, his loud howl directly interrupting the alluring voice.

At the same time, everyone was so shocked by the roar that they covered their ears.

Without giving Ye Feng any time to react, Yveltal activated Deathwing, and dark red energy swept across, enveloping all targets.

Arcanine roared and knocked Gyarados away. Gyarados then swung its tail and took Ye Feng and Gardevoir with it.

As the smoke cleared, it revealed Arcanine, now turned to stone.

"Growlithe!" Ye Feng shouted.

"Roar!" Yveltal roared, and Deathwing descended once more, enveloping Ye Feng.

Turned to stone, Arcanine should have lost consciousness, but it was perfectly lucid. It clearly saw Ye Feng, Gardevoir, Gyarados, and others now turned to stone...

"Ow!"

Arcanine let out a scream, suddenly opened its eyes, and gasped for breath.

A dark shadow drifted by, and Darkrai appeared before it.

"Woo woo woo..." Arcanine gritted its teeth and stared intently at Darkrai, its eyes bloodshot.

Darkrai remained silent.
