Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

Moreover, after Mega Evolution, it is not as irritable or even out of control as other Garchomps.

unusual!

Togekiss is a bit better; it only uses an air slash that causes it to flinch completely... that's all.

Let's just call it [Heavenly Grace] instead of [Divine Grace]...

unusual!

Tibrim... Your brothers and sisters in the team are all so strong, and you're the only one who's so bad.

That's not normal either!

Xia Shen, who has raised so many abnormal elves, goes without saying.

Various kinds of jade-like spirits with unique shapes...

The exact details of this powerful and swift move remain a mystery...

And most likely possess superpowers.

After going through the details, the onlookers realized, wow, Xia Shen and his elves are practically all illegal!

…………

Xia Shen, whose actions were illegal, returned to the foggy city the next day.

Although the journey to the national competition has ended, the semester's courses are not yet over.

He needs to make up for the classes he missed within a week of returning home, and then take the exams for the two courses he registered for.

Summer vacation should begin around the end of June.

Last summer, due to the pressure of starting university, I spent about half of my day in the training hall.

Now that he has won the national championship, he has achieved a small degree of success.

The World Youth Championships are at the end of the year, so there's not much pressure.

Xia Shen did not intend to squeeze his and the elves' time and energy to the extreme as he had done last year.

Taking a break is one thing, but another important reason is that the elves have now passed their period of rapid growth.

The growth brought about by training equipment is far less than it was a year ago.

Therefore, he plans to

I'll go to the Hawaiian Islands with Yan Yan in July or August.

It was partly to make up for the graduation trip I didn't have time to do last year, and partly to go to the hidden paradise of Hawaii to help Melotan find his family.

Of course, I'll probably need my father-in-law's help to get into the secret realm. He has a high reputation in the secret realm.

But that is the current difficulty.

After all, in the last British Secret Realm, Xia Shen and Yan Yan were caught up in the extremely dangerous Crown Snowfield.

Although he returned unharmed, Guang could sense the danger from Xia Shen's description.

Those three grumpy, silly birds are still causing trouble in the secret realm.

Given past experience, Yan Jing is unlikely to agree so readily this time.

However, those are things two months from now. Xia Shen didn't think that far ahead for the time being and focused on preparing for the two written exams at the end of the semester.

In fact, for majors like Pokémon esports that Xia Shen studies, practical exams are even more important.

But Xia Shen had just brought home the school's second national championship trophy, so a practical exam seemed somewhat superfluous.

Principal Mu naturally exempted the team members from the final exams and prepared a top-tier resource for each of them, either a rare Pokémon egg or a Pokémon item.

Xia Shen received a Firestone, a Pokémon item that is equivalent to charcoal in the game and can enhance the power of Pokémon's fire-type moves.

This top-tier Divine Fire Stone can enhance the power of fire-type moves by about 30%.

While it may not be as good as Garchomp's top-tier Dragon Fang, it still demonstrates the school's sincerity.

Without a doubt, this was prepared for Arcanine.

Although Xia Shen had prepared an assault vest for the dog, the way to carry Pokémon items is not fixed.

Sometimes, different spirit items can produce different tactical effects.

For example, when fighting Grass-type Pokémon, their own Pokémon are not very good at using the Flying, Poison, and Ice types that are effective against them.

At this point, equipping Arcanine with a Divine Fire Stone as its main damage dealer is a good choice.

…………

The two exams went very smoothly. Using Xia Shen's superpower to memorize the material was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

If he wanted, he could switch careers now to become a breeder, or even a researcher.

There shouldn't be any problem completing all the required and elective courses within a few months.

But he was obviously unwilling to do something so meaningless. He had already pioneered a path that no one had ever walked before. Wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse to go back and copy what others had already done?

Although the exams were over, Xia Shen did not return to Zhijiang immediately; he was still waiting for the graduation ceremony a few days later.

Of course, it wasn't for him to attend, but to say goodbye to Ye Rou, the only close friend he had made during his year in Chongqing.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't a farewell ceremony. Although Rou-ge had graduated, she remained at Chongqing University.

The only difference is that her status changed from Xia Shen's senior to her teacher.

The intern instructor is responsible for some of the courses on Fighting Spirits, while also continuing to work as an Order Keeper.

To put it simply, they are forest rangers in Qiyao Mountain.

Working as a ranger for a few years after graduation is the best choice for many esports students.

Firstly, there is a substantial reward, and secondly, it fulfills the duties and obligations of a professional trainer as stipulated by law.

Furthermore, in a semi-natural environment, the growth of a Pokémon's strength can be guaranteed.

In short, it will have many benefits for your future career path.

……

Perhaps due to their national championship victory this year, the graduation ceremony at Chongqing University was exceptionally grand.

No matter how grand the occasion, Xia Shen was just a spectator.

He didn't feel anything about the ceremony, but seeing his teammates, with whom he had spent a year, going their separate ways, Xia Shen still felt a little sad.

After the ceremony, it was naturally time for the school team's farewell dinner.

As the current core of the school team and the next captain after Ye Rou's graduation, Xia Shen, who originally wanted to rush back to Zhijiang overnight, was still caught by Rou-ge at the banquet.

After a satisfying meal and lively conversation about the future, it was nearly midnight.

Xia Shen declined his teammates' suggestion to go out and enjoy one last night of fun in the foggy city, and returned to Qiyao Mountain alone.

The early summer evening breeze was very pleasant. Slightly tipsy, Xia Shen lay on the back of a Garchomp, gazing at the twinkling stars above.

Once again, I was deeply moved, thinking how wonderful this city of Chongqing is.

Although those major eastern cities are developed, can they still enjoy the evening breeze and count stars while riding a Garchomp like this?

As Xia Shen was thinking this, he was about to close his eyes and doze off for a while when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a huge, pitch-black shadow slowly drifting past him from the corner of his eye.

This is nothing unusual, given that the foggy city doesn't restrict air travel.

But what bothered Xia Shen was that he couldn't sense the physical form of that figure.

Ghost-type Pokémon?

But who would use a Ghost-type Pokémon as a Ride Pokémon?

Moreover, the figure's outline was quite unfamiliar, and Xia Shen, who considered himself an encyclopedia of elves, couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

Driven by curiosity, Xia Shen decided not to return to his dormitory first, but instead to go and search for the unknown Ghost-type Pokémon.

But when he carefully used his spiritual power to sense the surroundings, he was astonished to find that there was absolutely nothing within several hundred meters of him...

The unexpected result sent a chill down Xia Shen's spine.

Could it be that what I saw wasn't a Ghost-type Pokémon, but a real ghost?

Ending Remarks

Now that a major event has ended, let's wrap up this volume.

This volume took nearly two months to write, totaling over 300,000 words, which is about right in terms of length.

From the foot of the mountain, the base of the mountain, the foothills, next it must be the mountainside, the summit, and the peak.

Therefore, theoretically, the book is currently less than 800,000 words long, which is already more than halfway through its length.

The original goal was 150-200 million words.

Let's talk about the updates over the past two months.

I updated frequently in July, writing about 220,000 words in a month, averaging a little over 7,000 words per day.

For someone like me who works at 1000 km/h and still has to go to work, this is something I could only achieve by using all my spare time, plus taking a break.

I slacked off for a few days at the beginning of August, and with various other factors at play, I could never get back to where I was...

There are many reasons, but my computer is so addictive that I'm playing games (just kidding)...

I wrote something that was offensive and it affected my mindset...

My grades have dropped...

some type of.

Speaking of results, I don't know if it's because fewer people are investing in the book, or if that problematic aspect deterred a group of people.

The decline is quite significant...

Anyway... it was all my own doing.

But stop with the sobbing and playing the victim!
