Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

[I've often seen you using your phone while it's charging, haven't I?]

Xia Shen was speechless, then suddenly remembered what it looked like a few months ago when he first met Yu Kexi.

I can't help but feel a little sentimental. Indeed, innocence is a consumable... Yuxie can never go back.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Xia Shen asked, "So that means you'll have to stay here for at least a year?"

[Yes, if you have any conscience at all, remember to come back and visit me more often.]

Xia Shen feigned a troubled expression, "Well... do you still remember Ash's Pidgeot?"

[You dare! If you don't come back to see me, I'll never let you in again!] Yukshi was getting anxious.

Xia Shen dared not joke anymore and quickly explained, "I was just kidding. I'm not like Xiao Zhi, a jerk who hasn't even assembled a team yet..."

He then changed the subject, saying, "So, would you like to become my sixth spirit?"

Xia Shen had expected that, in response to this joke, You Kexi might say something like, "[You really are after my body, now you've finally shown your true colors!]"

However, Yukshi remained silent.

Xia Shen was also stunned; this situation...

Could it be that a confession made after failing a game of Truth or Dare will win the heart of the goddess?

With Xia Shen feeling uneasy, Ke Xi's telepathic connection was finally conveyed to her.

[Hahaha, judging from your expression, you don't actually think I'd agree, do you?]

"..."

Xia Shen was stunned for a moment... I actually got tricked by an elf?

Thinking back on his performance, he felt increasingly embarrassed. He had actually thought he could subdue Yukish.

The key point is that Yukishi definitely saw through his anxious yet expectant expression!

It's been sent. Hurry up and find a new planet to start over!

Out of sight, out of mind. Xia Shen didn't want to pay attention to You Kexi, so she turned around and left with a dark face.

[Waaaaah, Xia Shen, I was wrong!]

Hearing Yukshi's apology echoing in his mind, Xia Shen snorted coldly, "Do you think I'll forgive you just like that?"

[I'm currently at my peak condition, so let me teach you and Tibrimon some Psychic-type moves!]

Xia Shen stopped and turned around.

"Fine, I can't do anything with you. Since that's the case, I guess I'll just have to forgive you."

[Xia Shen, you're shameless!]

------

Lake Wise.

Xia Shen sat on the snow with Tibrim in his arms, listening to Yuxie give a boring lesson on psychic-type moves.

Not far away, a Moonbear was wrestling with a wild Snow King. The two enormous Pokémon were changing poses every now and then, playing in a rather bizarre way.

Garchomp and Goomy weren't idle either. The two Dragon-type Pokémon, vastly different in size, stood side by side, practicing Dragon Breath and other Dragon-type moves on the surface of Wise Lake. From a distance, it looked like kids competing to see who could pee the farthest...

Only Zoroia was idly playing on the sidelines. At that moment, she pounced on a dozing Casey like she was chasing a butterfly, only to be nimbly dodged by her teleportation.

Feeling bored, she scurried back into Xia Shen's arms, snuggling up to Tibrim and scratching at Xia Shen's clothes with her little paws.

"You've come at the perfect time! Come and listen to the lesson too!" Xia Shen hadn't intended to bother with her, but this playful little fox had run right into his trap.

At least Zoroya can meditate, so he can barely attend Professor Yukishi's classes.

Anyway, I can't suffer alone!

"Yo..." Unable to resist Xia Shen's large hand, Zoroya calmed down, staring with his big ginger-yellow eyes, seemingly listening attentively to Teacher Yuxi's lesson.

……

One more student didn't bother Professor Yuxie much; it just meant that the telepathic connection had increased from two to three. He continued lecturing.

[Trick Room is one of the more difficult Psychic-type moves to learn because it involves the mysteries of space...]

"Question, Professor Yuki, isn't this move just about exchanging speed? What does it have to do with space? Is it just because the move's name has the word 'space' in it?"

[I'll get to that shortly, ask your questions after I'm done! On the surface, this technique does seem to work, but in reality, it uses superpowers to alter the spatial force field within a certain range, achieving a "reversal" effect.]

[The magic space reverses speed, the wonder space reverses defense, and so on. Next, I will explain how superpowers manifest in space. Now, please come up to the stage and cooperate with the teacher...]

"Hey, Yuuki, are you taking revenge for someone else?"

## Chapter 138 You call this a baby-level elf?

After a full two weeks in the secret realm, Professor Xyz's Psychic-type moves mini-lesson has finally come to an end.

Outstanding graduate Tibrim, average graduate Xia Shen, and dropout Soroya successfully graduated.

Apart from Zoroah, that good-for-nothing fox who gave up halfway, both Tebrim and Xia Shen learned the two moves: Trick Space and Psychic Shock.

Strictly speaking, Tibrim was held back by Xia Shen. She learned the Trick Space technique on the first day, and this amazing learning speed surprised even Yuxie.

In contrast, Xia Shen didn't fully master this extremely complex move until the tenth day...

In fact, with only five hours of study time each day, learning the magic space in ten days is not slow at all. Anyway, Xia Shen doesn't know anyone who learns faster than him.

But Tibrim's learning speed was so fast it was as if... it was engraved in her mind.

It only requires a simple recollection to fully grasp.

However, considering Tibrim's mysterious background, Xia Shen wasn't too surprised.

However, the end of Yu Kexi's class also means that Yu Kexi will not be able to stay with Xia Shen for at least a year.

When they parted, both the person and the mushroom were somewhat silent.

"Okay, don't be sad. I'll come to see you often."

[Yeah, remember to cache a few anime and movies on your phone before you come.]

"..."

In short, after a not particularly sad farewell, Xia Shen and You Kexi both began to live without each other.

On that very day, Zoroya's energy level on his phone finally reached level 29.

It's one level away from evolving into Zoroark.

Frankly speaking, this leveling speed is quite slow among Xia Shen's elves.

Xia Shen, who possesses the secret realm of Xicui, has the equivalent of having thirty hours in a day.

Although Xia Shen can't spend all his time in Xi Cui Li training, he's not a capitalist after all.

But at least half of those six hours were spent on training and matches.

This is also the most important means for Xia Shen to quickly close the gap with those senior high school students.

Xia Shen predicted that Garchomp and Usagi's energy levels should reach around level 40 before the finals of the National High School Championship in April.

Goo-Goo and Tibbers should also reach the evolution level limit around summer vacation.

In this situation, the fact that Zoroa, who joined the team the second earliest, is only now evolving shows how much she usually slacks off.

Therefore, Xia Shen decided to spend the next two weeks training Zoroa and Tibrimon, two elves who had no ambition whatsoever.

So the next day, Xia Shen flew back to the Red Lotus Wetland, which he had left half a month ago, the sandbar area where Xia Shen and Nian Nian Bao had met.

…………

In mid-to-late March, the weather is still chilly despite the change in temperature, and all things are reviving.

Within the Xicui Secret Realm, it is currently the annual rainy season for the Honglian Wetland.

Most of the creatures living in the Red Lotus Wetland love water, such as Gooey, Psyduck, and Lilyroot.

In addition, with abundant rainfall, tree fruits and other edible plants grow more vigorously, making these elves more active during this season.

However, this also gives the predators in the swamps more opportunities to attack.

The lily root dolls are undoubtedly the most vulnerable group to survival in this sandy area.

At least the Psyduck next door has Golduck, which has a higher energy level in its group, for protection.

However, for Lily Root Dolls to evolve into Miss Skirt, it's not enough to simply reach a certain energy level within their bodies; their evolution requires the use of a rare number of Sun Stones.

Although the Emerald Realm is a treasure trove untouched by humans, the weak Lily Root Dolls can only obtain a few Sun Stones, which are naturally enough for just a few Lily Root Dolls to evolve into Miss Skirt.

The tribe's lack of fighting ability means that every year during the rainy season, some members of the tribe will perish at the hands of hunters.

……

At this moment, in front of the Lily Root Dolls, the three Miss Skirts stared solemnly at the Poison Skull Frogs rushing towards them through the rain.

Poison skull frogs are the top social hunters in this sandy area, possessing well-developed leg muscles, sharp claws, and terrifying venom.

The small, slow-moving lily root doll has always been their favorite prey.

When they get tired of tree fruits, the poisonous skeletal frogs will gather in groups to hunt lily root babies to change their diet.

Just like now.

"Gugua—"

When Miss Skirt was about ten meters away from the Lily Root Dolls, the largest of the group, the lead Poison Skull Frog, let out a long and loud croak.

This is a sign that it is about to launch an attack.

The poison sac of the poison scorpion frog is stored in a large red vocal cord in its throat. If the poison scorpion frog makes a sound from its throat, the toxins stored in the sac will be refined to be even more potent.
