Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

…………

Meanwhile, Xia Shen was riding Garchomp, heading towards the Pure White Tundra.

It's not that I dislike Pidgeot, but Garchomp does fly a bit faster than Pidgeot.

What would normally take Eagle four hours to complete, Garchomp could cover in almost a round trip.

Around noon, Xia Shen, along with the reinforcements he had brought—several Zoroarks—flew back to the Crimson Lotus Wetlands to meet the leader of the Gooey Dragons.

Thus, the leader of the Soroyak tribe from the pure white permafrost and the leader of the Nymphalosaurus tribe from the Crimson Lotus Wetlands held their first historic meeting.

Zoroark is almost exclusively active in the tundra, and Goodra has never left the Crimson Wetlands, so theoretically the two Pokémon should not know each other.

However, the leader of Zoroark had seen Xia Shen's Goumi Dragon, and the Goumi Dragon leader also knew Xia Shen's Zoroark.

The two leader elves chatted quite familiarly, and seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.

She glanced at Xia Shen every now and then, not knowing what they were talking about.

…………

Time passed slowly, and the news brought back by the scouts, time and time again, was that the Umbreon were still entrenched in the Goodra's territory, showing no signs of dispersing.

There wasn't much time left for washing the jade today, so unfortunately, we had to postpone our actions.

"So, would you like to come with me to my place?" Xia Shen extended a warm invitation to them.

Now that he had brought Zoroark out of the frozen tundra, he couldn't just leave them there unattended.

As for the leader of the sticky dragon, Xia Shen only asked politely, thinking that it was unlikely that he would go to the real world with him.

Putting aside whether he trusts him or not, he has a large family here that needs his care.

As expected, the leader of the Nianmei Dragons declined Xia Shen's invitation using the excuse he had anticipated.

After some deliberation, the leader of Zoroark, after repeated invitations from Xia Shen and his daughter, reluctantly agreed.

To be honest, he had been curious about the world Xia Shen lived in for a long time.

Whether it was Gible's initial description or his later conversations with his daughter, in their words, that world was as beautiful as a pure land.

Today, I finally had the chance to see it for myself.

After confirming that there was no movement from Ursaring, Xia Shen said goodbye to Goodra and the others, recalled several Zoroarks with Poké Balls, and returned to reality.

…………

In reality, it is still early morning.

This has become Xia Shen's habit; the first thing she does every morning is to enter the Emerald Washing Secret Realm.

Xia Shen opened his phone and curiously checked the energy levels of the four Zoroarks.

Even the lowest level one is level 67.

The highest-ranking one is undoubtedly the leader of Zoroark, with an energy level of 83.

Without a doubt, this is the core energy level of a Master-level Trainer and the main force level of a Champion-level Trainer.

Xia Shen sighed silently. Apart from the Dragapult that Yan Yu had lent him, this must be the most powerful Pokémon he had ever encountered.

No, there's also that yellow mushroom.

Because Yuxi never looked like a divine beast, he almost forgot that Yuxi was only a level two god.

Theoretically, its energy level should be even higher.

I really want to trick it into the Poké Ball and check its energy level...

Putting aside her fantasies, Xia Shen got out of bed.

Today, with Chief Zoroark as our guest, we can't just do classes and training as usual.

You should show him the good side of this world and leave him with a good impression.

Let's see if we can bring them over in the future... even if they don't settle in the future Xicui Conservation Area.

This time, Xia Shen had no selfish motives. Life on the frozen tundra was just too hard. He felt sorry for the little foxes who always looked so worried.

……

As I walked downstairs, I didn't see those familiar figures who used to exercise in the mornings these past few days in the courtyard.

Today is the Zhijiang Middle School team's practical training session, and Yan Yan rushed over early in the morning.

This is for the best; otherwise, he wouldn't know how to explain the sudden appearance of several extra *Soryus*.

So Xia Shen released the Zoroarks into the courtyard without any hesitation.

The strikingly different environment from Xicui immediately caught their attention.

The courtyard was meticulously designed with a staggered layout, and the buildings were tall and imposing, unlike anything I had ever seen before.

And what really caught their eye was the misty, lush forest that stretched as far as the eye could see, seemingly without end.

Let alone the pure white permafrost, even in the Red Lotus Wetland where they had just been, they had never seen such dense forests.

Living in a place like this must be very relaxing and interesting...

For a moment, their eyes were filled with a dazed look.

"Yo-"

The Zoroark chieftain let out a long cry, as if speaking to his three tribesmen.

Xia Shen guessed that it was probably meant to tell them to tone it down and not act like country bumpkins who had never seen the world.

Because after the leader finished speaking, the eyes of the three Zoroarks immediately became clear.

These are all fake!

What's good here? Is there snow to eat?

Our hometown's pure white permafrost is still the best!

Xia Shen smiled slightly as he looked at the Zoroarks, who were displaying an Ah Q-like mentality.

Don't rush, this is just the beginning.

…………

Since the four Zoroarks were replacing Yan Yan and her three Pokémon, Xia Shen didn't prepare more food than usual.

To my surprise, what I had carefully prepared was simply not enough to eat...

Thinking about the problem from the perspective of controlling variables, it is obvious that the food shortage was caused by the four Zoroarks.

At first, they were rather reserved, eating slowly and deliberately, their eating speed seemingly even slower than that of Woodowl with its small appetite.

As they ate, seeing the unrestrained actions of Garchomp and Ursaring next to them, they also let loose, enjoying the otherworldly delicacies without paying any attention to their table manners.

Only the leader of Zoroark was slightly more reserved, but his eating speed was still astonishing.

Because these hungry little green rascals ate so quickly, Xia Shen had to give them more food several times in between.

Towards the end of the meal, he worried that Zoroark's small and thin body might suffer from problems due to overeating.

Finally, breakfast, which started at around 7 a.m., didn't end until almost 9 a.m.

The leader of Zoroark let out a soft burp and transmitted his voice with slight embarrassment.

[Thank you for your hospitality, Divine Envoy. Please excuse my poor manners.]

Xia Shen comforted them, "It's alright. My elves were like this the first time they came here. Humans don't have great strength, so they can only study things that make their lives happier."

The leader of Zoroark gave Xia Shen a meaningful look, but did not respond.

"Since you've finally made it to this world, let me show you around today. Shall we go for a stroll in the Seven Luminaries Mountains, or perhaps visit a human city?"

Xia Shen sought their opinions.

The Zoroarks murmured amongst themselves, and finally their leader relayed the message telepathically.

Could you please take us for a walk through this mountain forest?

Xia Shen nodded.

Sure enough, these socially anxious people still prefer the wilderness and mountains.

…………

Because many students from the University of Fog City were active in the Seven Luminaries Mountains, Xia Shen had the four Zoroarks transform into ordinary Pokémon to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Before long, the four little wild boars followed Xia Shen and Yueyue Bear, leisurely making their way into the depths of Qiyao Mountain along the mountain stream in front of the courtyard.

It's November, the last period of the fruit tree harvest.

Many forest sprites, commonly found in the forest, dart and leap among the trees, busy picking fruits that don't easily perish, as winter food reserves.

The little wild boar behind Xia Shen looked around, filled with curiosity about the unfamiliar yet harmonious scene before it.

Since they hadn't yet entered truly remote areas, these fearless elves showed no alarm at Xia Shen and his companions' passing.

On the contrary, a few yellow-skinned mice were sniffing around the four cute little wild boars, very curious about these creatures they had never seen before.

Several socially awkward Zoroarks were startled and involuntarily took a few steps back, seemingly very uncomfortable with the enthusiasm of the unfamiliar Pokémon.

The yellow-skinned mice found the "little wild boars'" reaction amusing, and they quickly climbed up the tree, picked up a few tree fruits, and placed them in front of them.

"Pikachu~" one of the Pikachus made a cute sound.

He nudged the tree fruit in front of him, indicating that anyone who wanted to comment would receive some, and there was no need to be polite.

Zoroark couldn't bear to refuse the kindness of these little cuties, and even though he was already quite full, he still forced the tree fruit in front of him into his stomach.

Seeing that these Pokémon seemed willing to befriend them, the Pikachu picked a few more berries and carried them down to share their goodwill.

But this time the Zoroarks were completely unable to eat and quickly shook their heads, refusing their offer.

If I keep eating, I'm afraid I'll get so full that I won't even be able to maintain my illusion.

However, foods that are usually extremely rare in the pure white permafrost can be eaten to the point of vomiting here.

Linghu was truly moved.
