Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

Li Chen simply smiled and picked up a hair clip that had fallen from her hair; the metal surface reflected the two figures bathed in the morning light.

"Haa..."

After finishing all that, Li Chen stretched, his knuckles cracking slightly. "Time to get going."

He looked towards Feiyun City and said softly, "My ideal... is still missing the last piece of the puzzle."

Cattleya keenly noticed that the Light Stone at his waist trembled slightly when he mentioned "ideal".

But it ultimately failed to resonate with Czechoslovakia.

It's as if they're being deliberately suppressed by some higher power, waiting for the moment of true awakening.

Kosmom suddenly floated onto his shoulder, and the core of the nebula flickered with a beacon-like rhythm.

"Hold on tight."

Cattleya approaches, unleashing her superpowers.

Her blonde hair fluttered like a flag in the storm of superpowers, and she put one hand on Li Chen's shoulder.

The surrounding scenery instantly distorted into colorful streams of light.

When the space stabilized again, the steel forest of skyscrapers in Feiyun City was already within reach.

"We've arrived!"

Her languid voice still lingered in the air when Meloeta eagerly poked her little head out of her handbag.

"Melo!"

The tiny mythical Pokémon leaped merrily onto the streetlight, its fingertips tracing the rhythm of the glass curtain wall.

This city, brimming with music and art, even has a familiar melody carried by the wind.

The neon lights on the distant tower switched to a piano key pattern, presenting a welcoming light show for the returning young musicians.

Upon seeing Meloetta's appearance, Cattleya's golden hair suddenly billowed, and her pupils contracted sharply: "This...this is..."

Her usually elegant voice cracked for the first time, and even the superpower particles floating beside her froze for a moment.

"Mythical Pokémon Meloetta."

Li Chen scratched his head: "Is it surprising? Eighty percent of my team consists of legendary Pokémon."

"Eighty percent?!"

Upon hearing this, the psychic storm emanating from Gadria uncontrollably whipped up the hems of their clothes. "Do you think legendary Pokémon are promotional items at the Feiyun City supermarket?!"

Meloeta blinked innocently and floated to Cattleya's shoulder to tidy her messy hair.

"?"

Li Chen tilted his head in confusion, his fingertips naturally touching Jia Delia's smooth forehead: "Why such a big reaction?"

Azure energy swept over her, and the gentle waveguide power flowed like a stream through her chaotic mental sea.

Cattleya felt a surge of energy, like a clear spring, flow into her mind, and her restless superpowers calmed down.

She stared blankly at the man before her who could soothe her rampaging energy with a mere flick of his wrist, and suddenly realized...

"you..."

Cattleya grabbed Li Chen's wrist, which he hadn't yet pulled back, and asked, "Do you even know how special you are?"

Li Chen shrugged casually: "What's so special about it?"

He shook his wrist, which was being held, causing a few wisps of blue light to flash. "They're just a bunch of mischievous little guys."

Cattleya then realized her lapse in composure, only to see the other person suddenly grin mischievously.

"If you don't let go..." Li Chen's free hand made a gesture as if to grab it, "I'm going to fight back, okay?"

"you!"

Startled, Cattleya withdrew her hand, pouting angrily, "I just accidentally grabbed your hand..."

Chapter 522 The Ferris Wheel of Raven City

Li Chen casually tossed a Poké Ball aside and said nonchalantly, "I've already had tea with Reshiram... isn't it normal to pick up a few lost Pokémon on the road?"

"???"

Suddenly, a ring of static electricity exploded around Cattleya's blonde hair, and superpower particles spelled out a giant question mark in the air:

"normal·?"

"Oh dear..." Li Chen blinked belatedly, "So they're that hard to find?"

His tone was so sincere that Gadriya wanted to use her superpowers to hang him on top of the Cloud Tower.

At this moment, the surrounding pedestrians noticed this scene, gradually slowed down, and whispers spread like ripples.

"Look! That blond guy...could he be one of the Four Heavenly Kings?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down! She almost floated the entire stadium during the last tournament!"

"Who is that man next to her? How come he's so close to Miss Cattleya?!"

In a nearby café, a waiter's tray clattered to the ground: "I bet five hundred Alliance coins, that's definitely Lady Gadriya..."

"That's not right, the point is that she didn't actually blast that man away!" the shop manager muttered, peering through the window.

A couple on the street corner simultaneously pulled out their phones to secretly take pictures: "Wow! I've spotted the rumored boyfriend of one of the Four Heavenly Kings!"

"Wait...that glowing white stone at his waist...is it the legendary Stone of Light?!"

The surrounding chatter surged like a tide, but Li Chen merely casually brushed aside his bangs, which had been ruffled by the superpower particles: "Looks like I've got tomorrow's headlines sorted out~ I wonder if they'll give me any money."

"?"

Cattleya's superpowers uncontrollably created a whirlwind, overturning all the parasols at the roadside cafe: "You—!"

Her fair cheeks flushed red with embarrassment and anger. "Do you know what the gossip magazines will write?!"

Meloye Tower has already spelled out the title "Shocking! Four Heavenly Kings flirting with a mysterious man in the street" in the air with musical notes, while Egui Peng is using a thorny stick to help passersby adjust the shooting angle.

The sound of camera flashes could even be heard in the distance; it was unclear which newspaper's reporter had mingled in the crowd.

"Let's go somewhere else."

Li Chen shrugged.

"it is good."

Cattleya nodded and placed her hand on Li Chen's shoulder.

The two were then teleported to the amusement park in Raven City.

......

......

Li Chen's clothes were still fluttering slightly due to the air currents from the spatial jump, and the cheerful music box melody from the Raven City amusement park was already playing in his ears.

Cattleya withdrew her hand from his shoulder, and the remaining superpower particles on her fingertips dissipated like stardust.

"This place should be..."

Before she could finish speaking, screams from fans suddenly erupted in the distance.

"It's Lady Cattleya!"

Clearly, this "Four Heavenly Kings" underestimated his own fame.

Li Chen raised an eyebrow at her, a mischievous smile in his voice: "Still sticking to the original plan?"

"Ah."

Cattleya grabbed his tie and stepped into the nearest cockpit, slamming the door shut with her superpower.

Inside the cramped cockpit, Cattleya turned her face away, pretending to admire the view outside the window, but the reflection of their overlapping shadows was mirrored on the glass.

"These leisurely days are so nice."

Li Chen's voice suddenly deepened, his fingertips lightly tapping the porthole, the blue light of the waveguide flickering in his palm, as if measuring the distance between two worlds.

"How many days will I have left after I return to where I belong?"

Cattleya whirled around, her superpowered particles exploding into tiny starlight in the confined space: "You're leaving?"

As the Ferris wheel reached its highest point, the sunlight gilded the silhouettes of the two people.

"After all, I'm not a trainer from the Unova region, so leaving is the normal thing to do."

Li Chen raised his hand, and the blue light of the waveguide flowed between the two of them, reflecting the slightly trembling eyelashes of Gadria.

"Before leaving..."

He suddenly leaned forward, startling the super-powered particles floating in the cockpit. "Any legendary Pokémon you'd like to see?"

Cattleya didn't flinch, her eyes reflecting the other's unusually serious expression: "We'll talk about it another day..."

"Anyway, you'll probably use 'encountering a new legend' as an excuse to flirt with girls in the next region, right?"

"Ugh......"

Li Chen sighed heavily, pressing his fingertips against his throbbing temples, his tone genuinely confused: "What kind of image do I have in your eyes...?"

Before Gadria could answer.

Li Chen's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the blue light that exploded in his mental sea.

Eileen's soul leaped and clung to his back, her translucent skin sending a cool sensation through the fabric.

"You can't just rule out Ao Shiyao and Sakurada Yukari, can you?"

She angrily bit Li Chen's earlobe, though her soul form couldn't leave a tooth mark. "Looking at those two, how dare you pretend to be innocent?!"

Li Chen sighed and picked up the jealous woman on his back: "Let's be reasonable. Those two arrived before you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up on this path."

In reality, Gadriya looked suspiciously at Li Chen, who had suddenly lost focus, and her superpowers began to flare up...

Little did they know, someone's mental world was enacting an eight o'clock soap opera.

In my mind.

Li Chen lightly touched the illusory crown on his forehead with his fingertip, and the gilded patterns rippled in his spiritual sea: "Take a look at this..."

The crown suddenly materialized into a small relief of Eileen, "A certain soul that likes to ambush me in the middle of the night, is the instigator."

Eileen's illusory figure suddenly froze, her memory flashing back to the night she "placed" the crown on Li Chen's head...

"The so-called king..."

Li Chen suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist, the blue light of his soul merging with the golden radiance of the crown, "Naturally, the throne needs stars to adorn it."

Upon hearing this, Eileen tapped her crown lightly, her nasal muttering sending a bittersweet ripple through her mind: "If only I had melted it down into a ring and put it on your finger..."

Li Chen grabbed the back of her neck and lifted her up like a kitten: "Regret it now? Too late."

As he spoke, the blue light of the soul merged with the golden radiance of the crown.

Eileen's eyelashes trembled and drooped, her arms encircling Li Chen's neck.

"Once I'm resurrected, I want to do this every day..."

Back to reality.

Li Chen's gaze shifted from his mental world to Gadria, who was struggling against Gadria's disheveled hair caused by her rampaging superpowers.

Her slender white knuckles were caught in the knot of her blonde hair, and superpower particles flew wildly everywhere.

"Don't move."

After Li Chen spoke, she reached out her hand, and the blue light from the waveguide flowed through every strand of her hair like the teeth of a comb.

Cattleya stood frozen in place, staring at Li Chen's focused profile reflected in the porthole.

Those usually unruly superpowers were now obediently wrapped around his fingertips.
