"…"
Lin Feng's words didn't immediately bring everyone back to reality.
The scene was silent, so still that it took a long moment before someone finally looked at him with a strange, complicated expression.
Then, reactions started to ripple through the crowd:
Admiration, shock, awe, jealousy, disbelief…
"What an incredible Gardevoir…"
Someone whispered, unable to contain themselves.
So many Pidgeot, such a towering column of wind…
Yet in Gardevoir's hands, not a single one lasted even a minute.
It could even control all the Pidgeot in succession.
"What kind of strength does Gardevoir have?"
Someone couldn't help but speculate, "Elite? Champion? Oh, if it's a champion-level Pokémon, does that make Lin Feng a champion-level trainer?"
They looked at Lin Feng, hoping for some confirmation.
But Lin Feng just smiled quietly, saying nothing.
Then he strolled away with Gardevoir, completely at ease.
Even though the Pidgeot hadn't managed to hit Gardevoir, he still planned to prepare them a delicious dinner. He wouldn't let their efforts go unrewarded.
The Pidgeot exchanged glances, then lowered their heads in disappointment.
Soon, they flapped their wings and returned to their posts.
Only the customers and challengers remained, silent for a long while.
Finally, someone raised their phone weakly and asked, "Did anyone record that? Can someone send me a copy? I forgot to record it!"
"Oh, I didn't record either. Can some kind soul send it to me? I need to study it! I have to clear the first stage first!"
"I recorded it, guys! Come on, everyone can watch and learn from me!"
"This is amazing… Lin Feng's Gardevoir is this strong! I don't care anymore I'm posting this on my video account!"
"If you do that, I have a feeling this video will go viral across the East China League in no time…"
…
Back in the daycare, Lin Feng exhaled deeply.
Honestly, when over a dozen Pidgeot flapped their wings together, stirring up that massive wind, he had been a little stunned.
The sky itself had changed color. This wasn't just visible in Wutong Town; even the energy monitoring agencies in Wutong City must have detected it.
Perhaps somewhere, a group of people had gathered in front of a screen, staring at the unusual energy readings pointing directly at Wutong Town, lost in thought.
"I need to explain this to the champion."
Lin Feng quickly pulled out his phone, just as a message arrived.
[Feng Yang]: "That was you, wasn't it?"
[Lin Feng]: …If you mean the abnormal wind column, then yes…
[Feng Yang]: …
[Feng Yang]: You…
[Lin Feng]: I did it to help new trainers gain more battle experience as they start their journeys.
[Lin Feng]: {Wutong Town, near the nursery. Sky Challenge link: www…}
Lin Feng had no intention of hiding the Sky Challenge from the champion. He even proactively sent the previously recorded video links.
[Feng Yang]: I followed your video account with a sub-account. I've seen all these videos! Really well done.
"Hmm???"
Now it was Lin Feng's turn to be surprised. He hadn't expected the champion to know about his video account so soon.
And he was even using a sub-account?
Far away, at the East China League Pokémon Headquarters, Feng Yang felt a little helpless.
He rubbed his forehead, staring at the message on his phone, speechless.
What kind of challenge could create such a massive windstorm?
According to information from the Wutong Town Pokémon League branch, a month ago, the energy fluctuations above Wutong Town had matched the energy waves from strong winds near the Asia Island region.
If Wutong City was small, the local league officials probably didn't even understand the significance of these continuous energy fluctuations.
Then it dawned on him.
This… this was the energy of the legendary sea-current deity, channeled to the same destination through different paths!
And Asia Island…
The legendary birds were there!
A few days ago, coastal cities in the Donghua region had suffered powerful storms. This had been caused by the legendary birds guiding ocean currents, leading to global climate imbalances.
Even more recently, a snowfall warning in Wutong Town had awakened the usually sleeping Moltres.
It even seemed to think that an Articuno from Asia Island had flown over.
"Lugia… Articuno… could they affect the Moltres weather too?"
Feng Yang muttered to himself, staring at his phone.
Yet even as he said it, it sounded almost impossible.
However, looking at the Pokémon in the nursery, he realized that even fantastical things could become reality in their hands.
He sighed emotionally, "I really can't believe these Pokémon are so obedient with the kids."
Later, he glanced at his phone and replied to the final message.
[Feng Yang]: "Alright…"
After sending the reply, he couldn't help but grumble, "I want to see what kind of challenge could cause this much chaos…"
…
"Phew…"
Lin Feng exhaled, putting his phone in his pocket.
He turned to check on Gardevoir, only to find she was no longer in the daycare.
He walked into the garden and saw that Gardevoir, having already tapped the heads of all the Pidgeot, was picking the day's ripe berries to prepare energy cubes for the afternoon.
Lin Feng didn't disturb her, strolling leisurely through the garden.
It was already eleven o'clock, time to cook for everyone.
But when he arrived, he noticed Sticky Goodra normally trailing the Alolan Vulpix was now beside Mewtwo, rubbing its little claws over Mewtwo, eyes sparkling.
Though Mewtwo looked a little helpless, this time it didn't dodge Sticky Goodra.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh at the scene.
His laughter quickly caught Mewtwo's attention.
Seeing Lin Feng laughing so freely, Mewtwo's expression flickered with mild annoyance.
It shook off its hand, gently pushing Sticky Goodra away again.
"Sticky Goodra?"
ヽ(*.＞Д＜)o゜: "Goodra…"
The little Goodra looked up at Mewtwo, sadness welling in its eyes, tears glistening.
Lin Feng quickened his pace, heading briskly toward the kitchen.
Once inside, Mewtwo looked at Sticky Goodra, who was staring at Lin Feng with such earnest eyes, and hesitated once more.
He sighed, placing his hand gently on Sticky Goodra's small paw, calming it down.
