Nearby, Yoimiya heard the General's murmur.
She glanced at the Pokédex information:
"Well, the Pokédex says so."
"Ursaluna received mysterious blessings from Arceus."
Oh?
Raiden Ei was very interested.
"Miko, it seems that your skepticism about the Pokédex..."
"Is just an illusion."
She raised her head and spoke to the empty air nearby.
"Hey, after all, I only got this illustrated equipment yesterday."
A voice with a sigh, followed by a chuckle, answered immediately.
Immediately after the Ogosho appeared, the second most important person in the Inazuma area arrived.
Lady Guuji Yae of the Narukami Shrine, Yae Miko, appeared with lightning at her feet and a bright face, wearing a teasing smile.
"It turns out that this big guy is called Ursaluna."
Yae Miko clicked her tongue.
"Hello there~"
"Roar~"
Ursaluna did not show her any face and shouted in a low, warning voice to Yae Miko, who was trying to get closer.
"Um?"
Yae Miko was stunned.
She looked at Raiden Ei, who was standing very close to Ursaluna without issue.
Raiden Shogun, you don't dare to stop me?
You are not so polite to me, a descendant of the Hakushin Fox bloodline?
The fox was very angry. But the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.
"Oops."
"It's true that true love exists in this world."
"A Pokémon can read body language and aura to identify who can be messed with and who cannot be messed with."
She feigned a pitiful posture, hoping for sympathy.
Unfortunately, Raiden Ei was immune to this.
Ursaluna was also not buying it:
"Roar~!"
Only Yoimiya was a little confused.
"What are you talking about?" Yae Miko was curious.
"Roar~~!"
Yae Miko: "..."
Although she is a Great Youkai, there is still a language barrier with Pokémon.
I literally didn't understand a word. Never mind.
I really want to start a scene and fight to the death with this Level 79 Ursaluna.
Yae Miko seemed a little guilty.
She also felt a sense of oppression and coercion from Ursaluna.
Obviously, this Ursaluna has the possibility of defeating her.
"Yoimiya, please pass me a copy of Ursaluna's Pokédex entry."
She raised her head and muttered to Yoimiya.
"Ah, okay, okay!"
The General is an adult. The Guuji Yae is also an adult. Yoimiya felt like she was caught between two powerful forces.
Yoimiya passed the illustrated information to Yae Miko. The Guuji carefully considered it, and her fair forehead was gradually covered with black lines.
Her temples were also throbbing:
"So, this Ursaluna is Level 79?"
"Elite Four Rank?"
"Um... it's only one level away from the Champion level?"
"So, when it evolves or grows into a Champion Pokémon, I will be in great danger?"
Yae Miko called it outrageous.
I...
No, this Guuji, the successor of the Hakushin Fox King lineage...
With five hundred years of cultivation...
The only top-notch Great Youkai in contemporary Inazuma...
Well, if you ignore that raccoon dog Youkai, Ioroi, in the forest...
She actually! She felt threatened by a mere King-level Pokémon.
If she were a Champion, wouldn't she be able to suppress me completely?
Thinking of this, Yae Miko felt even more complicated.
When a "fun person's" sense of urgency is forced to rise, are there still free and easy days of fun left?
Raiden Ei studied the bear for a while, but still couldn't figure out the mysterious power inside it.
She gave up, raised her head, faced Yoimiya on the bear's back, and raised her eyebrows:
"Ah, are you the one who makes fireworks? What do you say that is?"
"Never mind."
"I don't intend to confiscate the screen here."
"I want to know more about this Pokémon event, the Pokémon Age, and so do the people of Inazuma. We must not fall behind Liyue and Mondstadt..."
"So, can you help me connect with Store Manager Hiroshi?"
"I want to talk to him more."
Yoimiya was immediately flattered.
She was not surprised at all that her disguise was seen through.
On the contrary, the General not only looked at the chaos of Hanamizaka's public security but also came to visit in person.
Now, after hearing Raiden Ei's request, Yoimiya suddenly realized:
"It turns out that the General is here..."
"You want me to be the bridge-builder!"
Indeed, if you want to popularize Pokémon in Inazuma, it involves the regional and Seven Nations politics levels.
She, a mere fake Divine Envoy, is not qualified to sit at the negotiation table on this matter.
It requires the Store Manager and the Shogun to negotiate!
"General, here is a spare Pokédex, and some cultivation resources."
"I brought a total of ten copies from Liyue."
"Now, six copies have been sold. This is the seventh copy. The price is two million Mora."
Yoimiya then explained that with a Pokédex, she could directly contact Manager Hiroshi.
The God of Thunder also had the habit of not taking Mora with her when she went out.
She glanced at Yae Miko.
"Miko, help me settle the bill."
After saying that, Ei lowered her head and stared at the exclusive Pokédex she had just registered and certified, and lightly clicked on the group chat interface.
[Send an application to join the group.]
Ding dong!
[The Group Leader (Hiroshi) approved your application.]
[Welcome Raiden Ei (Inazuma/Shogun/Raiden General) to the group chat!]
Even though today is the opening day of the Liyue Trainer Competition.
Even though a new round of super competition battles is in full swing.
But this group chat system prompt made the entire group chat member list faint.
Xiangling: I'm shaking.
Hu Tao: My Pokédex hit the floor...
Yelan: So, is this Raiden Shogun serious? I mean, is she the real thing, or is she that guy?
Venti: Hey Yelan, you know too much! Be careful of your place being blown up by thunder!
Yelan: Indeed, thank you for the reminder. I don't want a thundercloud to suddenly appear above my head.
The second group chat system message popped up:
[Welcome Yae Miko (Inazuma/Narukami Taisha/Guuji-sama) to the group chat!]
Ganyu: Yae Miko, eh—— (dumb hair twitching.jpg)
Yae Miko: Sister Ganyu, it's been a long time since I last saw you. I still remember that the last time I contacted you about business was a year or two ago when Inazuma was not locked down. Next time we meet, I will bring you something new. Oh, fresh Sea Ganoderma.
Ganyu: Sea, Sea Ganoderma? (gulp.jpg)
Zhongli: Raiden Ei, has time tempered your will?
Raiden Ei: Zhongli, who?
Venti: Ahem, we once were together while drinking... Shhh!
...
And at this time.
In the Liyue branch of the store, Hiroshi had left the virtual arena.
Behind him stood the towering, jet-black dragon, Zekrom. Its generator tail glowed with a deep blue static, and its red eyes scanned the chat logs floating in the holographic display.
"The Electro Archon," Zekrom's telepathic voice rumbled, audible to Hiroshi. "Her energy is chaotic, yet static. She seeks 'Eternity' but is joining a movement of change."
"Ideally, she represents a massive market," Hiroshi replied, closing the chat.
There were no famous characters in the remaining battle schedule today, so there was no need to stay and watch.
Hu Tao, Xiangling, the Traveler, Childe, and others who appeared before all won with almost no chance of losing.
For Hiroshi, there is one thing that needs to be found out as soon as possible.
There are ants crawling on him!
"The Time Gears."
"Uxie."
Hiroshi left the noisy venue and went straight to the Research Institute.
"We need to go directly to Lake Acuity in the Hisui region."
"A visit to Uxie."
"Or take a look to see if there are any traces of war around Lake Wisdom."
"Then you can be 100% sure of the truth!"
However, just after landing, when it was time to summon Jirachi, Meloetta, and Cresselia to go together...
Dudu!
Someone chatted with him in the group.
Hiroshi lowered his head and glanced, wanting to ignore it. After all, there was something urgent.
But the one who messaged him was Raiden Ei, who had just joined the group.
Raiden Ei: I want to meet you, Store Manager.
Ningguang: Are you finally here?
Jean: ... Of course, no matter how closed the country is, Inazuma can't be indifferent to the Age of Pokémon.
Hiroshi: Raiden Ei, I have something important to do, and it's not convenient to hold a remote meeting right now.
Raiden Ei: Are you in Liyue?
Raiden Ei: Wait a moment.
A thundercloud surrounded by purple electricity rushed out from the Tenshukaku tower in Inazuma.
Yae Miko, who was dealing with the aftermath at Hanamizaka, watched the thunderclouds disappear through the sky with resentment:
"Hey, why do you want me to look after the house again?"
However, the number one "Otaku" in Teyvat actually left the Inazuma sea area again after five hundred years.
Moreover, she went to Liyue, the Kingdom of Rock, thousands of miles away, eager to meet someone.
Yae Miko clicked her tongue, and there was an "auntie" smile on her face:
"This is probably what the forum said..."
"Meeting an online friend offline?"
But soon, the smile on Yae Miko's face faded and turned into a feeling of emotion as she watched the autistic home-girl finally go out to meet a new life.
"The so-called Eternity means never losing what you already have."
"So, if you try to get more possibilities in addition to what you already have, you won't fall into an eternal paradox, right?"
"Ha~ Let's meet more people in the next era, the Pokémon Era!"
She acts as both a mother and an old father. She is simply in charge of the second-generation Inazuma, a cute autistic home-girl, and her heart is broken over it.
...
Boom!
In the evening.
Liyue Harbor.
The regular season and super games on the opening day were all in the final battle.
A thundercloud came across the sky from the distant Far East Sea.
Many people noticed this amazing thundercloud in the sky.
But there were also more people immersed in the carnival of Pokémon events.
Zhongli and Venti also returned to the Research Institute.
They looked at each other and smiled.
"She is coming."
Hovering in the sky for a moment, the thundercloud disappeared.
At the same time, outside the main building of the Institute, a lady with purple hair and purple eyes, exuding nobility, slowly stepped down from the sky.
Venti: "Hey."
Zhongli: "Remember when you were a Kagemusha (Shadow Warrior)?..."
Ei just glanced at these two old acquaintances.
She came to Liyue specifically to meet her "online friend" offline, and her target was not these two.
"I'm here."
At this time, the person she wanted to meet sent a spiritual force—an Aura—and guided Ei. He went to the ruins space buried deep underground in the Research Institute.
She saw the Gate of Time and Space leading to the Hisui region.
There was a look of surprise in Ei's eyes.
"Time."
"Space."
She whispered softly.
Hiroshi stood there, and behind him, the darkness seemed to move. Zekrom stepped forward, his heavy footsteps causing the ground to tremble slightly. The dragon looked down at the Electro Archon.
"You wield the lightning," Zekrom spoke, his telepathic voice booming in Raiden Ei's mind, causing her to instinctively reach for her sword. "But do you understand the Ideal behind the strike?"
Ei looked up at the Legendary Dragon, her hand pausing. "A Dragon... with the power of a God."
Hiroshi was amazed by Raiden Ei's appearance in person.
The mature "御姐" (Onee-san) body type, the legendary Musou no Hitotachi... looking at where the sword would be drawn from, the ravine was indeed deep.
The beauty mark (tear mole), the kimono, the black knee-high socks.
"Let's go?"
Hiroshi walked into the Time and Space Gate, and the fluctuations of time and space annihilated half of his body.
He turned around before he was about to travel through the space.
"Because there is something urgent..."
"So let's talk as we go."
Ei was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes shone brighter.
She had studied the event rewards. She knew that the cost for players to pass through to the Hisui region was quite high!
Don't talk about anything else!
To go to Hisui earlier than everyone in the group chat area...
This basic flight ticket is worth the price!
