Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

The design is so large that it's naturally intended for students and elves to attend classes together.

Most elves are intelligent beings, and even special beings like Metagross are like supercomputers, so it's not surprising that they can attend classes.

Often, when Pokémon and their trainers attend classes together, both students and Pokémon can gain a deeper understanding.

Before Xia Shen stepped into the classroom, the students, some newly acquainted and some already familiar, were chatting in twos and threes about Pokémon battles or training.

Their Pokémon gathered together, complaining about their trainers... well, the trainers couldn't understand anyway.

But when Xia Shen stepped into the classroom, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Everyone turned to look at the boy at the classroom door, who seemed to be under a spotlight.

Xia Shen was already used to this kind of attention, so she calmly found a quiet spot to sit down and waited for the first class meeting to begin.

Fortunately, no one bothered him this time, which made Xia Shen quite relieved.

He had thought that among this group of classmates who were young and impetuous, there would be one or two who were overly self-conscious.

Perhaps it was the deterrent effect of the recently concluded competition between new and returning students?

Xia Shen wondered to himself.

As more and more people entered the class, some unsavory characters started approaching Xia Shen to chat.

Xia Shen responded to each question with neither enthusiasm nor indifference.

He knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, although they were in the same class, almost none of his peers could keep up with him.

If someone can catch up, Xia Shen and that person will naturally meet at the top.

In that case, there's no need for further interaction.

…………

Not long after, the bell rang, and the first class meeting of the university officially began.

On the podium, the class advisor and student teaching assistants introduced the basic systems such as credits, course selection, and intra-school competitions.

Everyone listened with extra care to this information that would be used for the next four years.

This class is perhaps the period in which the class advisor has the most presence throughout the semester.

Xia Shen had roughly learned about this information in the previous week.

Just like in my previous life, credits are an important condition for graduation.

Of course, there are other ways to earn credits besides passing a subject. For example, winning honors for the school in provincial or national competitions can also earn a lot of credits.

Obviously, this is more efficient and is offered to elite students.

Therefore, Xia Shen never considers credits when choosing courses; he only considers his own preferences.

As he envisioned, choosing an elective course on Dragon-type Pokémon training and an in-depth explanation of Trick Room tactics would suffice.

The main reason for choosing Dragon-type Pokémon is... no school teaches how to train Ursaring and Zoroark...

On the contrary, Garchomp and Goodie haven't evolved to their final forms yet, so there are still some things we can learn from them.

As for intra-school battles, Xia Shen, with his lofty ambitions, had no need to delve into them further.

In short, the only truth is that if you are strong enough, even the school will revolve around you.

For example, Xia Shen.

## Chapter 180 A Shocking Distortion of Space and Time Appears!

The only special thing about the first day of school was the class meeting in the morning.

After that, Xia Shen returned to her daily training routine from a few days prior.

The two elective courses won't start for a few more days, but the intra-school ranked matches started on the first day of school.

Xia Shen went to the battlefield excitedly as soon as get out of class ended, but he left disappointed.

Perhaps because Xia Shen had just entered university, the opponents she was matched with were relatively weak students of the same grade.

It's that kind of newbie who...has almost no concept of 3v3, doesn't even know how to switch Pokémon for a normal defensive strategy, and will fight to the death with just one Pokémon.

Xia Shen even suspected that his opponent had removed the button from the Poké Ball.

It has a kind of heroic feel to it, like the top laner in a MOBA game who "presses B and won't return to base until he dies."

In two consecutive matches, Xia Shen effortlessly completed a three-in-a-row victory using Garchomp.

Fearing that he would be assimilated by his opponent's rigid thinking if they continued to play, Xia Shen thought about it and decided to go back to his team's training today.

The ordinary first day of school has come to an end.

…………

The following day, in the secluded realm of Xicui, beside the Wise Lake.

Under the scorching flames, a burly figure crashed to the ground, scattering snowflakes across the snow-covered ground.

Xia Shen seized the opportunity and threw out a Poké Ball, capturing Abomasnow.

The red and white ball on the snow wobbled slightly for two seconds, then a crisp "snap" sounded, signifying that the Blizzard King had been subdued.

Xia Shen skillfully released the Blizzard King and had Tibbers heal him. He then took out his phone to check if the Blizzard King's information had been added to the encyclopedia.

As their own Pokémon's strength increases and they acquire all the "tool Pokémon," they can fly in the sky and dive into the sea.

Xia Shen has recently resumed her journey of collecting illustrations.

After the elves broke through to level 45, Xia Shen could feel that the rate at which their energy levels increased had obviously begun to slow down.

To continue growing at the same rapid pace as in the first year, we need to continue expanding the time available in the secret realm.

So, starting last month, Xia Shen embarked on a new round of green-washing tour aboard Tokiss.

The goal, of course, is to capture those spirits that we have seen before but were not strong enough to capture.

For example, Abomasnow, which was chasing him all over the place a year ago, was just put into a Poké Ball.

However, a month has passed, and most of the Pokémon that could be caught have been caught. Pokémon like Brave Eagle, which starts at level 54, are still difficult to capture.

We can only wait until Garchomp evolves and can fight in the air before teaming up with Togekiss to take it down.

Even so, after a month of hard work, the time spent in the secret realm has increased from more than six hours to about nine hours.

However, Xia Shen was still not satisfied, except for those rare Pokémon that were hard to come by and those that he couldn't beat.

He then came up with another idea for collecting illustrations: time-space distortion.

……

In the Arceus game, the Time Warp is a place that appears randomly on the map and allows you to capture Pokémon that do not exist in the native land.

What puzzled Xia Shen was that he had been in the Xicui Secret Realm for a year, yet he had never discovered this phenomenon.

Xia Shen didn't know if he was just unlucky and hadn't encountered it, or if this verdant place didn't have any spacetime distortion, or if the activation of spacetime distortion required certain conditions...

Therefore, he deliberately set the destination of this tour at Lake Wisdom in order to ask Yukshi about the distortion of spacetime.

I also wanted to visit this elderly woman living alone, whom I hadn't seen for about three or four months...

…………

Riding on the Tokiss to the island, Xia Shen skillfully scanned the code to enter the alternate dimension.

However, this desolate place was utterly empty.

Yukshi did not appear in front of him as usual.

Xia Shen's heart skipped a beat. Was she asleep?

Or...did something happen?

"Yukishi, are you there?"

Xia Shen shouted loudly, but this alternate space seemed to absorb sound, and his anxious voice could not travel far at all.

No matter how Xia Shen called out, the yellow mushroom-headed creature did not appear in front of him.

Xia Shen stood alone in an alternate dimension where nothing existed, his worries sinking deeper into his heart.

He's starting to regret not coming more often these past few months.

Even if something happens to Yuki, there's not much I can do to help, but it's still better than being a headless chicken like this...

Now that the mythical beast is lost, where can I look for it?

Worry, frustration, and helplessness... a mix of emotions filled Xia Shen's mind.

Just then, an unfamiliar voice reached Xia Shen's mind through telepathy.

[Can you please shut up? Your emotions are driving me crazy!]

Xia Shen was taken aback at first, then overwhelmed with joy. After all, at least an elf had responded to him.

"Who are you? Where is Yukshi?"

In his haste, he didn't analyze the information in the unknown elf's words at all.

With just a little thought, he could naturally figure out that the one who could perceive the emotions of humans and elves was none other than Emberman, the Red Mushroom who, along with Yuxie, was one of the [Gods of the Lake] and represented "emotions".

[Ha! Yuuki, your friend is so dense! You've been with Yuuki for so long, and you still can't guess who I am.]

The unfamiliar voice came again, and Xia Shen finally realized that it was Yuxie's sister, Emrido.

However, what puzzled Xia Shen was that although her words seemed to be spoken to Youkexi, they actually reached her mind.

[Maybe he's gotten stupid since I wasn't around. Humans even have a concept of dementia; this guy's probably quite ill, daring not to come see me for months!]

Finally, the familiar voice made Xia Shen breathe a sigh of relief. Although Yu Kexi's tone was obviously a little angry, as long as it was alright, that was all that mattered.

However, it seems that I have been pulled into a "telepathic group" by them?

Given the abilities of the Three Saints Mushroom, it shouldn't be difficult for them to do so.

As for why Emlid is at Lake Wisdom, perhaps it's like relatives visiting each other in the human world?

But that's not the point right now; the important thing is to appease Yukish, who's angry.
