The sky was still azure, and the sea stretched as far as the eye could see.

And lush green meadows, and a lighthouse with a broken light bulb.

He gazed into the distance one last time, looked around one last time, wanting to imprint this everything—both real and illusory—in his mind.

Regardless of the mechanism and principle behind this so-called trial.

The month he spent living in this small town will be his most authentic memory; he will remember everyone he met and their names.

Officer Jenny is full of energy and bursting with a sense of justice, while Joy is gentle, kind, and sincere towards the elves.

Sang Xun, a boy who successfully bred a green caterpillar into a giant butterfly.

A bird flying with its gatekeeper, Bobo.

There's also Hui Bei, a florist who cultivates trumpet buds.

Captain Gu Yan of Ship No. 012, and lighthouse repairman Xiu Cai.

And, the two from the Tea Tea Merchants Association, Wei Yan and Tian Qiong.

He came alone.

And now, three elves are standing behind him.

Electric Dragon, Monini, and Laplace stood quietly beside Chen Qi, gazing with him at the town that had regained its vitality and was now celebrating.

"It's almost time."

"It's time for us to go home!"

With a leap, Monini landed on Chen Qi's shoulder.

Both Electro Dragon and Laplace let out joyful and expectant cheers.

[Trial Countdown: 00:00]

……

Just as the countdown to the trial reached zero.

Chen Qi could vaguely see a group of people driving on the hillside, waving and calling out to him.

Chen Qi also raised his hand.

One last time, he waved goodbye to everyone.

……

Chen Qi's figure returned to that hazy white space once again.

This time, however, Professor Oak was nowhere to be seen; all that was around was a hazy white expanse.

Besides that, there was nothing else.

then.

Suddenly, bubbles appeared before his eyes.

Those were scenes he experienced during this trial.

Every battle with Mareep, the moment it evolves into Moogle, the instant it evolves into Ampharos, and the moment it obtains the Ampharos Mega Evolution Necklace and performs Mega Evolution.

Subdue Monini, subdue Laplace...

That scene was truly iconic, every frame of which was etched deep into his memory.

Ding--!

Suddenly, a pleasant electronic sound began to resound and echo in the hazy white space.

[Trial settlement begins!]

[Trial Rating: SS]

[Trial Rewards: Advanced Trainer License *1, Lighthouse Badge That Never Fades in the Storm *1]

The crisp, pleasant electronic sound kept resounding.

Chen Qi felt a moment of disbelief, never expecting that he had accumulated so much without even realizing it.

Fortunately, Professor Oak gave him a storage pouch; otherwise, he wouldn't know how to pack all these things together and bring them back to the real world.

These are all spoils of war that I painstakingly accumulated bit by bit.

This is his report card for the past 30 days.

His SS rating also earned him the most important thing in this trial—a trainer's license.

From this moment forward, he is a trainer recognized by the Trial Tower.

Moreover, he is a highly skilled trainer.

Chen Qi glanced with satisfaction at the bulging pouch at his waist, then slowly raised his head.

I see,

Two orbs of light were slowly descending from the sky.

Chen Qi reached out and grabbed a square card of a special material, as well as a lighthouse-shaped metal badge.

Settlement completed.

Chen Qi's figure also disappeared into this hazy white space.

……

reality.

4:25 am.

A full 30 hours have passed since Chen Qi entered the trial.

According to the general consensus, most trials are not synchronized with real time; roughly one day in the trial corresponds to one hour in reality.

For a normal person, entering the trial, whether they pass or fail, usually yields a result within 2-3 hours.

Chen Qi, however, disappeared for more than 24 hours after entering.

This caused a stir on a small scale.

However, it was quickly forgotten.

After the trial pillar pierced the sky and descended upon cities and regions around the world, countless stories unfolded in every place.

No one cares whether someone is missing or not.

Besides, who would stare at the trial beam of light 24 hours a day for no reason? Maybe in the blink of an eye, the person has already returned from the trial and is fast asleep in their own bed.

Yes.

When Chen Qi returned from the trial.

It did not cause much of a commotion.

"kindness?"

"Did you just see that? It looks like a figure sped off on a bicycle."

"Probably another unlucky soul who failed the trial."

"Don't worry about it. Try to sleep for another hour or two. We'll get up and get to work when it's light."

"But... just now..."

"Quiet down, go to sleep!"

Then, deafening snoring erupted from inside the tent.

A timid, barely audible muttering voice murmured, "But that person just now... seemed to have several Poké Balls hanging on them."

"You must have misread it."

"Hmm, I must be hallucinating because I'm too sleepy."

……

Huanyu Garden.

21st Floor, Building A, Unit 19

Chen Qi stepped out of the elevator and slowly stopped at his own door.

He had just taken out his keys to open the door when he suddenly paused, and his expression changed drastically.

Because there were obvious signs of corrosion on the keyhole, the internal lock cylinder had been completely corroded, and the door appeared to be closed, but it was not actually locked.

Dissolving solution!

A Pokémon move instantly popped into Chen Qi's mind.

This is definitely the effect of the dissolving solution.

Chen Qi pointed behind him, took Monini's Poké Ball, and released it, while simultaneously gesturing for it to be quiet.

He gave a knowing look.

He then slowly pushed open the door and carefully stepped inside.

call out--!

Just entered.

Then I saw a seed flying towards me.

"Nini~"

Monini's spiritual power surged and her mental power exploded, forcibly changing the seed's direction of travel, causing it to crash into the potted plant by the window.

Swish—!

The seed took root and instantly enveloped the potted plant, causing it to wither and die.

Parasitic seeds!

Chen Qi reacted instantly and exclaimed, "It's me!"

"elder brother?"

Snapped--!

With a crisp click of a switch being flipped, Chen Duo happily ran out of the room.

And this moment.

Chen Qi was also able to see it.

On the ground, a person who had fainted was lying.

Beside him was a round tadpole wrapped up in a parasitic seed.

Clearly, the corrosion of the door lock was the work of this round tadpole.

"What happened?"

Chen Qi asked, frowning.

"Brother! You don't know, in just the last two days, there have been a lot of burglaries."

"It's been reported in the news."

“There are bad people who are using the powers of elves to commit theft and other crimes.”

"This guy is just a petty thief."
