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

[Yan Yan Yan: Promise me, no matter what strange phenomena you see, never approach any suddenly appearing secret realm gates!!!]

The three exclamation marks at the end of the text were glaringly bright red on the screen.

The phone vibrated quickly, the notification sound particularly crisp in the quiet night.

【Xin Gengzai: Huh? What happened? ('oωo`)】

The message was followed by a confused cat emoji.

Li Chen stared at the familiar emoticon. Just as he was about to reply, a loud bang of ice crystals shattering suddenly erupted above his head.

The countdown suddenly changed to [12:00:00], and the speed at which time passed seemed to double out of nowhere.

"Kyurem, I *@#!"

A cold glint flashed in Li Chen's eyes, and he cursed Kyurem in his heart.

His fingertips swiped heavily across the screen.

Trust me

These two words are clearly revealed.

The moment he pressed the send button, Li Chen whirled around, the hem of his trench coat tracing a sharp arc in the air.

The ripples at the entrance to the secret realm twisted and deformed with his hurried steps, as if even space itself was trembling in anticipation of the impending anomaly.

Li Chen stepped inside.

Latias waited for a while, and when he returned, they flew back to the mountaintop together.

"Lin Lin!"

Li Chen's voice, carrying the power of wave guidance, shook away the fog in his path, "Wake up! Something terrible has happened!"

Chapter 550 Li Chen, you bastard!

Lin Lin frowned in her sleep, mumbled something, and turned over.

The lingering effects of the alcohol made his head spin, and Li Chen's shouts sounded like they were coming through a thick layer of cotton.

"Hmm... Why is Brother Chen calling me..."

He buried his face in the pillow, a silly grin still on his lips. "I must be dreaming... He's probably with his sister-in-law right now..."

Another, more urgent shout came from outside the window, this time causing even the windows of the wooden house to tremble slightly.

Lin Lin opened her eyes groggily and saw Li Chen's figure reflected by the ice crystals outside the window.

That solemn expression was definitely not a joke.

"Holy crap?!"

Lin Lin jolted off the bed, kicking beer cans so loudly they clattered as she fumbled around. "Wait, wait! I'm coming right now!"

The lingering effects of the alcohol caused him to slam his head against the doorframe, and the pain finally brought some clarity to his muddled mind.

Lin Lin was instantly jolted awake. He hurriedly put on his coat, almost tripping over the sleeve.

As he stumbled and stumbled to the window, he met Li Chen's eyes, which gleamed coldly in the night.

"Chen, Brother Chen? What happened?"

He rubbed his bruised forehead, his voice still hoarse from a hangover.

What is the strongest Pokémon you have? What are its specific strengths?

Li Chen's fingertips tapped rapidly on the window frame, each tap causing the frost to fall in a flurry.

Lin Lin instinctively reached for the Poké Ball at his waist: "My Venusaur just broke through to the professional level, and even beat the preparatory gym examiner last week..."

His tone unconsciously carried a hint of pride.

"not enough."

Li Chen suddenly slammed his palm on the windowsill, causing the entire wooden house to tremble. "Go and subdue two elite-level martial arts bear masters right now, one of the One-Strike Style and one of the Combo Style!"

He grabbed Lin Lin by the collar and said in a very low voice, "If we encounter a dojo-level opponent... we must take them down at all costs."

The distant roar of glacier calving echoed, and the countdown numbers on the ice shards suddenly began flashing wildly again.

"it is good!"

Lin Lin practically burst through the wooden door, her coat still covered in unmelted ice.

Wait an hour later.

"what......"

Lin Lin slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of Li Chen. Three Poké Balls jingled at his waist, their shells covered in fresh battle scratches.

"Report! Report!"

He wiped the snow off his face, panting, and held up two Poké Balls with different luster in his left hand: "Two elite-level late-stage Martial Arts Urshifu."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand: "And here's my newly captured Dragonite brother! Gym Leader level!"

"Ah."

Li Chen's fingertips brushed over the three Poké Balls in turn, and the Aura Force stirred up subtle ripples on the surface of the balls.

"That should be about right. You have one Gym Leader and two Elite-level Pokémon at their peak, and you caught them yourself."

Li Chen nodded.

After listening to Reshiram and Zekrom's explanations, I learned that this resonance effect can only be achieved using Pokémon that you have captured.

It won't work if it's given by someone else.

Although we don't know how they were detected, that's the fact.

However, if there are wild Pokémon that are too close, they can go in together.

"Meloeta, please go to the capital and find Sakurada Yukari. Brother Zigeld, please take Talebagos to find Xin Yong."

After thinking it over, Li Chen assigned tasks to the Pokémon.

As for Ao Shiyao, she is already 19 years old and is not within the scope.

OK~

"it is good."

Meloetta and Zygarde departed with their respective missions.

After giving the final instructions, Li Chen gently closed Lin Lin's door.

"Hehe... Dragonite... Urshifu... I'm a Gym Leader level trainer too..."

Lin Lin had already fallen back onto the bed, still clutching the Dragonite Poké Ball in her hand, a satisfied smile on her lips.

In the room at the end of the corridor, a chill was seeping in through the cracks in the door.

Li Chen's movement of pushing the door suddenly froze.

"Um......"

Eileen huddled up from the cold, the moonlight casting a silvery frost on her trembling eyelashes.

The pillow she was holding had somehow become covered with a thin layer of ice, which made a soft cracking sound as she turned over.

Li Chen's fingertips hovered in mid-air, and the power of his wave guide silently caressed the girl's slightly furrowed brow.

Outside the window, the countdown ice crystals are growing at an illogical rate, illuminating the entire Water City Secret Realm like a crystal palace.

Not only the Water City Secret Realm, but also other secret realms are affected.

Furthermore, it has impacted reality.

In an instant, every boy in the world who was eighteen years old or older saw a string of numbers made of ice crystals appear above his head.

......

......

The next day, the Water City Secret Realm was shrouded in morning mist.

"Haa..."

Eileen stretched lazily, the morning light dancing on her long golden hair through the carved window lattice.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and found that Li Chen was still in the same position as last night, with the candle wax on the candlestick already frozen into a mountain.

"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep a wink all night?"

She furrowed her brows slightly, her voice carrying the softness unique to early morning.

"fine."

Li Chen answered without looking up, the quill pen scratching across the parchment, the ink shimmering with a faint blue glow in the morning light.

"Hey! There's something strange about your tone!"

Eileen jumped off the bed barefoot, her silk nightgown rippling in the morning light.

She suddenly wrapped her arms around Li Chen's neck from behind, her pointed elf ears nuzzling his cheek playfully: "Honey~ What's wrong? Tell me quickly~"

The quill pen paused on the parchment, the ink spreading out in a small patch of deep blue.

"nothing."

Li Chen sighed softly, "But... the resonance is about to begin."

"Huh?!"

Eileen abruptly turned his shoulder, her emerald pupils contracting sharply. "Such a big thing?! When?"

"There are still..."

Li Chen glanced at the gradually brightening sky outside the window. "Less than three hours. Can't you see?"

He pointed towards the ceiling and said, "Look up."

Eileen looked up, the dust motes dancing in the morning light swirling before her eyes, but she noticed nothing amiss: "Nothing..."

She blinked in confusion, her hair falling onto Li Chen's shoulder, carrying a faint scent of laurel.

"Ah...that's true."

Li Chen suddenly chuckled, his fingertips gently twirling her loose blonde hair. "You're over a hundred years older than me. Well... only eighteen-year-olds can see this."

"Hey!"

Eileen instantly bristled, her elven ears trembling with anger, and she grabbed his collar: "Li! Chen! What do you mean by that?"

She narrowed her eyes and leaned closer dangerously. "You think I'm too old, don't you? Hmm?"

Li Chen suppressed a laugh, deliberately avoiding her piercing gaze: "My lady, please calm down, how could I dare..."

Don't give me that!

Eileen straddled his lap relentlessly, pinching his cheeks and pulling them apart. "Didn't you say before that you liked me the most because I have both the mature charm of an older sister and the innocence of young love? How come you're saying this now..."

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly noticed that the person beneath her was trembling slightly.

That bastard Li Chen was actually trying to hold back his laughter!

Chapter 551 Resonate with Me, Kyurem

"You bad guy!"

Eileen's eyes reddened slightly, and her clenched fist, with the unique strength of the elves, slammed into Li Chen's chest, but unconsciously held back a bit of force as it landed.

Li Chen suddenly raised his hand, his palm firmly enveloping her slender wrist.

"you..."

Eileen struggled, but he pulled her into his arms.
