Pokémon Dimensional Hunter - A Visual Mishaps

·· ··Requesting flowers···· ··

The rain was so heavy that it seemed as if the entire sky had been torn apart; large raindrops fell rapidly like bullets, slamming hard against the ground.

The raindrops hit the ground, splashing up tiny water droplets that instantly transformed into round circles, as if the earth had been pounded into countless tiny craters by these raindrops.

The raindrops not only hit the ground, but also splashed up some dust, filling the air with a dusty smell.

As the heavy rain began to fall, Zhao Xuan had already deployed the waveguide shield.

It enveloped him and the Röntgen cat, and the rainwater flowed down the protective shield to the ground.

So the rain didn't get on him and the Röntgen cat at all.

..... . 0

Looking at the increasingly heavy rain, Zhao Xuan muttered, "This rain really does start whenever it wants."

"Wait! Turn right at the intersection ahead!"

However, as they turned a corner, Zhao Xuan suddenly grabbed the Röntgen cat's mane and spoke.

Blue lightning streaked across the asphalt, leaving charred arcs, and a low growl, like the sound of tires rubbing, shattered the streetlight glass.

Following the direction perceived by the waveguide power, a girl wearing a light blue dress was curled up on a bench in front of a 24-hour convenience store, her hair still wet with unmelted rain.

"Isn't this Deng Xiaoqi?" Zhao Xuan thought to himself as he saw her.

At the same time, he clearly wanted to let Roentgen the cat go over, since they were friends after all. Judging from his expression, something must have happened. Since he happened to see him, it wouldn't be right not to ask.

Moreover, it wasn't just Zhao Xuan who saw Deng Xiaoqi.

Deng Xiaoqi also saw Zhao Xuan, so even if Zhao Xuan didn't want to go, he still had to go and ask.

When Deng Xiaoqi saw Zhao Xuan, her expression revealed surprise. Then, as if she had thought of something, she quickly wiped the corner of her eye with her hand.

Zhao Xuan approached Deng Xiaoqi, looked at her, and greeted her.

Deng Xiaoqi looked at Zhao Xuan and replied somewhat embarrassedly, "Zhao Xuan, why are you still out so late?"

"I just dropped Yun Jia off at home. Something came up, so I'm a little late," Zhao Xuan said, putting the X-Touch cat back in his pocket.

"By the way, why are you out so late? It hasn't been a safe place lately," Qian said.

Chapter 221 Deng Xinhua

When Deng Xiaoqi heard Zhao Xuan mention Li Yunjie, a look of envy flashed in her eyes.

I wish he had a brother like that.

Although that's what I thought in my heart, what I said out loud was different.

"I was just about to go home when it suddenly started raining."

Zhao Xuan glanced at the time; it was already past eleven. He could tell that Deng Xiaoqi was lying.

However, Zhao Xuan did not expose Deng Xiaoqi's lie, since judging from Deng Xiaoqi's appearance, it seemed that she had had a disagreement with her family.

"Do you want me to take you back? It's on my way." After all, they're friends, and Shanghai is a bit chaotic right now. Zhao Xuan doesn't want anything to happen to Deng Xiaoqi.

Upon hearing this, Deng Xiaoqi was somewhat tempted, but her expression remained hesitant.

"Alright, it's getting late. Go back to '510' as soon as possible so your family won't worry," Zhao Xuan said, helping her make the decision.

He didn't want to waste any more time with Deng Xiaoqi.

He then threw out Corviknight's Poké Ball.

With a "bang," the Steel-Armored Raven appeared in front of the two.

The moment the Steelraven appeared, a powerful gust of air tore the surrounding rain into pieces.

"Crash!!"

The dark golden beak gleamed with a metallic sheen under the streetlights, and when its jet-black wings suddenly unfurled, they produced a clanging sound like metal rubbing together. Each feather reflected a cold, eerie blue light, like the edge of a blade forged from black iron that had been tempered for a thousand years.

Raindrops struck its metallic feathers, splashing into fine silver mist that created a hazy halo around it.

Although she had seen Steel Raven many times, Deng Xiaoqi still couldn't help but stagger back half a step, her damp bangs being lifted by the sudden wind pressure.

She stared at the giant bird, which was almost as tall as a two-story building, and gasped—the Steel-Armored Raven's cry, raised high, resonated like the strains of an ancient chime.

When its dark purple tail feathers swept across the wall, they left shallow marks on the concrete, and the neon signs swaying in the downpour cast flowing rainbows on its gleaming breastplate.

"Don't be afraid." Zhao Xuan's clothes fluttered in the vortex created by the Steel-Armored Raven's flapping wings. He reached out and stroked the blue-green scales on the giant bird's neck. "This guy just has a loud voice."

"Caw~~" The Steel Crow obediently lowered its head, its scarlet eyes changing from the sharpness of a predator to the docility of a pet, and the water splashed up when it folded its wings spread out in ripples in the puddles at the alley entrance.

As the giant bird bent down, Deng Xiaoqi could clearly see raindrops winding down the metallic patterns on its back, and those precise, circuit board-like silver patterns suddenly gleamed.

The water in the entire alley trembled with the rhythm of the Steel Raven's breathing, as if even the torrential rain had succumbed to the oppressive power of this steel body.

The rain dripped down its steel-like feathers and onto the ground, splashing up water droplets.

"Xiaoqi, let's go." As Zhao Xuan spoke, he opened the waveguide shield to protect the two of them from the pouring rain.

Zhao Xuan then leaped onto the Steel Crow's back first.

Seeing this, Deng Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment, then jumped onto the Steel Crow's back.

Although Deng Xiaoqi wasn't particularly strong, her physical abilities were still far superior to those of ordinary people.

So jumping onto the Corviknight's back is still quite simple.

When Zhao Xuan saw Deng Xiaoqi come up, he patted Corviknight on the back and said, "Corviknight, let's go."

"Caw!!" the Steel-Armored Raven cried out, spreading its wings.

The moment the Steel-Armored Raven's wings suddenly slammed down, Deng Xiaoqi's scream was choked in her throat.

"call!!"

The 30-meter-wide alleyway suddenly turned into a vertical well, and the glass curtain walls of the buildings on both sides twisted into flowing ribbons of light in the line of sight.

Her fingernails dug deep into the bluish feathers of the Steel Raven, only to discover that this seemingly cold and hard metal surface actually possessed a warmth unique to life.

The giant bird burst through the rain like a warship cleaving through raging waves. Its dark golden beak tore the continuous rain curtain into shimmering fragments of jade, while the vortexes created by its wings stirred the clouds hundreds of meters in the air.

Looking down at the neon signs that had shrunk to mere specks of light, Deng Xiaoqi suddenly realized that the mundane family matters that had suffocated her seemed ridiculously insignificant at this height.

"Hold on tight." Zhao Xuan's voice came through the wind and rain. Outside the waveguide shield, the rain was howling, but inside, the faint scent of grass and trees emanated from the boy.

As Deng Xiaoqi watched the raindrops create star-shaped ripples on the transparent barrier, she suddenly remembered the snowflake crystal ball she had shattered on her birthday last year...

The Steelraven began to glide smoothly. Its folded wings and the precise, interlocking metal joints rose and fell rhythmically with its breathing.

As the dark tail feathers swept past the lightning rod atop the office building, sparks flew, drawing fleeting golden lines in the rainy night.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Zhao Xuan suddenly pointed into the distance. Following his fingertip, Deng Xiaoqi saw the trail of light condensing from the tip of the Steel Armored Raven's wing—the water mist ionized by the special metallic feathers was weaving a seven-colored bridge of light in the night sky.

"Yes," Deng Xiaoqi replied absentmindedly.

Every flap of the giant bird's wings rewrites the fate of raindrops.

Deng Xiaoqi watched as the several-ton steel body glided lightly through the narrow gap between the Twin Towers, lightning flowing like liquid silver on the Steel-Armored Raven's breastplate.

As it swerved to avoid the sudden flashing of aviation warning lights, Deng Xiaoqi's cheek brushed against the corner of Zhao Xuan's clothes, which were being blown about by the wind; the smell of laundry detergent mingled with the sweet, fishy scent of rainwater.

The city stretches out beneath our feet like a glowing circuit board, and the traffic flows like a stream of binary code.

Deng Xiaoqi suddenly found that the troubles that kept her tossing and turning at night were no longer so bothersome.

As the Steelraven continued to ascend, the moonlight above the clouds gilded its metallic feathers with mithril. At this moment, it was no longer a means of transportation, but a Noah's Ark carrying the girl's heartfelt thoughts straight to the moon palace.

When Deng Xiaoqi saw her own villa, she felt reluctant to leave.

The rain stopped sometime during the waveguide shielding dissipated.

The Steel-Armored Raven landed in front of Deng Xiaoqi's villa at some point, its wings stirring up the water on the ground.

As the Steelrak landed, the villa door opened, and a beautiful woman stepped out.

When the beautiful woman saw the Steel-armored Ravens, which were as big as small mountains, she was about to scream, but a sound made her swallow her scream.

"Mom, I'm back."

As the sound faded, Deng Xiaoqi leaped off the Steel-Armored Raven's back and landed steadily on the ground.

The beautiful woman breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing her daughter, and then asked with concern, "Xiaoqi, where have you been? Do you know how worried I was about you?"

Chapter 222 Advancement Exam

"Mom, I'm fine." Deng Xiaoqi's discomfort disappeared when she saw her mother's worried look.

Seeing that her daughter was indeed alright, Deng Xinhua looked at Zhao Xuan, who was standing in front of the Steel Raven, and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoqi, who is that boy?"

Deng Xiaoqi glanced at Zhao Xuan and introduced him, "That's my friend Zhao Xuan. We just happened to run into each other, so he brought me back."

"Hello, Auntie." Zhao Xuan greeted her upon seeing her.

Zhao Xuan then took his leave. Although Deng Xiaoqi and Deng Xinhua wanted to persuade him to stay, Zhao Xuan was determined to leave, so the mother and daughter didn't say anything more.

Watching the Steel-Armored Raven shrink to a black dot, Deng Xinhua withdrew her gaze and pulled her daughter into the villa. She still had many things to ask her daughter.

With a "whoosh," the crystal chandelier lit up with seven-colored lights under the remote control in Deng Xinhua's hand. She pushed the hot cocoa in front of her daughter, and the silk pajamas rustled softly against the leather sofa.

“Your friend…” Deng Xinhua stirred the swirl in her glass with a silver spoon, “That Corviknight isn’t a Pokémon that an ordinary trainer can raise.” She deliberately emphasized the words “Corviknight.”

22 Deng Xiaoqi's fingers tightened slightly as she held the mug. The ticking of the antique clock in the living room suddenly became clear.

"He's definitely not an ordinary trainer. Zhao Xuan's master is Lu Hai from Shanghai." Upon hearing just this, Deng Xinhua exclaimed, "Is it really true?"

“Of course it’s true. We celebrated at Starry Sky Manor last night,” Deng Xiaoqi said with a hint of envy in her voice.

Deng Xiaoqi was very envious of Zhao Xuan for being able to live in such a large estate.

"Xiaoqi, what's your relationship with Zhao Xuan like? You must keep this relationship safe, it will be very useful to you in the future." Deng Xinhua asked when she saw this, and then gave her some more advice.

After all, given Zhao Xuan's status, he is destined to stand at the top of Yan Hua in the future.

Having experienced so much, Deng Xinhua knows what is most important in this society.

That's why I told my daughter to get along well with Zhao Xuan.

Of course, there was one more thing she didn't say: she hoped her daughter would seize the opportunity to win over Zhao Xuan, so that her daughter wouldn't have to worry about anything in the future.

"Mom, what are you saying?! I'm going back to my room." Deng Xiaoqi said angrily after hearing her mother's words.

Her pretty face turned slightly red with anger.

Then, with her long legs, she quickly jogged upstairs.

Butterfly and Lily Root Doll followed behind.

Seeing this, Deng Xinhua shook his head helplessly.

.........

The next day.

Yan Hua's official trainer advancement exam.

Zhao Xuan looked at the mature woman standing opposite him and said with a somewhat speechless expression, "Sister Hongdou, are you too idle?"

He hadn't expected that Xu Hongdou would actually come and join in the fun just because he was taking a test to get a dojo-level certificate.

"Hehe, I just wanted to see how much your skills have improved. I just happen to have some time today," Xu Hongdou said with a grin.

In fact, Xu Hongdou didn't lie to Zhao Xuan; she genuinely wanted to test his abilities.

"Then you can't use a Pokémon that's almost at the Elite Four level," Zhao Xuan reminded him.

Although he wasn't afraid of the near-heavenly king, he didn't want to reveal his full strength.

"Don't worry, I'm using gym-level Pokémon." Xu Hongdou smiled slyly, then threw out a Poké Ball first.

The Poké Ball was launched in a parabolic arc through the air.

With a "bang!", a red light flashed, and a giant turtle-shaped Pokémon that primarily walks on two legs appeared on the field.

It was a Blastoise.

The Blastoise has a dark blue body. Its forelimbs and hindlimbs are short and stout, segmented by joints, and each has three toes. Its tail is no longer wave-like, but rather a short, thick blue tail.

Its lower jaw is milky white. Its ears are triangular. Its body is covered by a huge and heavy shell, the back of which is brown and the belly is pale yellow, with white edges in between. Two water cannons protrude from the front of the shell.
