Chapter 578: Mew and Teddy Return, A New Journey! Destination, Hoopa!
Chapter 578: Mew and Teddy Return, A New Journey! Destination, Hoopa!
Yaci was delighted, as Shizuru's actions not only demonstrated the strength of Paldea trainers to other regions but also upheld the dignity of Gym Leaders.
In this era of global connectivity, even the smallest incidents can become significant when spread through the internet.
If the news of that trainer's successful Gym challenge were to go viral, it could quickly escalate, and no one could predict its eventual impact.
It might even lead to a perception that Paldea trainers are generally weaker than those from other regions.
Such a situation would undoubtedly affect the Paldea region significantly.
Therefore, Yaci was genuinely happy.
When someone is happy, they often want to give a reward.
"Shizuru, is there anything you'd like as a reward?" Yaci asked with a warm smile.
Shizuru: "..."
Shizuru felt his life was already fulfilling; his beloved Pokemon and wife were by his side, and soon, his child would join them in this world.
If he had any unfulfilled wishes left...
Shizuru paused for a moment, carefully considering, and realized he truly had no more wishes.
However, upon hearing this, Yaci was taken aback: "You don't want anything?"
Shizuru and Qi Shu exchanged glances and smiled, saying:
"I've lost count of the daily revenue from the ranch, my favorite Pokemon are all around me, and there's you and our unborn baby."
Yaci understood; Shizuru felt his life was complete, and he lacked nothing.
"Never mind, then. I'll look for some rare treasures in the market later and have Aoki deliver them to you!" Yaci said.
Shizuru: "..."
Poor Aoki.
"Let's leave it at that for now!" Yaci waved her hand gently, "I'm going to inspect the Gym and see if I can find some talented individuals. See you later~"
"Goodbye."
With that, Yaci hung up the phone.
After dinner, Aikan Shi went to wash the dishes, and the Pokemon, tired from playing all day, lay on the floor, yawning.
Shizuru wanted to bathe them first, but Qi Shu extended her hands to him.
"What's wrong?" Shizuru was slightly startled.
But the next moment, he understood Qi Shu's intention.
She missed him! Shizuru smiled, glanced at the sky outside, and then asked, "Do you want to take a walk outside?"
The weather was pleasant, and although summer had arrived, the evening was not hot. The gentle breeze felt delightful.
"Mhm." Qi Shu responded lazily.
So, the two of them left the house, walking along the path leading to the chicken coop and the apple orchard, strolling through their ranch.
The temperature outside was just as Shizuru had expected; the night sky was beautiful, and the wind was refreshing.
After walking for a while, Qi Shu smiled mischievously and said, "I'm so tired!"
Shizuru looked at her: "Did you pick tree fruits again?"
Ever since their marriage, Qi Shu always wanted to help him with chores, whether it was watering the fields or picking fruits and carrying things.
"I just want to make things easier for you!" Qi Shu immediately defended herself.
"..." Shizuru felt helpless: "With me here, you don't need to help with those tasks. You can pick the fruits later when I get back from work."
"You're not even happy when I help you." Qi Shu pouted, pretending to be upset: "I won't talk to you anymore!"
"I just don't want you to overwork yourself." Shizuru said.
"Then carry me!" Qi Shu suddenly said.
Shizuru was momentarily stunned and only realized after a while that Qi Shu was being playful with him.
"Okay." Shizuru bent down, carrying Qi Shu on his back and continuing along the path.
Qi Shu suddenly had a whimsical thought: "Do you think you'll still be able to carry me when we're old?"
"Of course." Shizuru didn't turn around.
"Do you think you'll stop liking me when we're old?" Qi Shu suddenly felt a bit worried.
"No." Shizuru patiently replied.
After walking for a while, Qi Shu jumped off his back, giggling, "Alright! You've been working hard all day, I won't make you carry me anymore!"
Shizuru smiled, "Okay."
The two of them strolled around the ranch, and as they passed by the tree fruit garden, Qi Shu suddenly remembered something and asked:
"By the way, I saw a strange tree over there with a large hole in the middle. Did you plant it?"
"Hmm?" Shizuru looked in the direction Qi Shu was pointing and then realized, explaining: "Yes, that tree is called the Nurture Treehouse. It's said that if you place a Pokemon egg inside, the treehouse will absorb nutrients from the earth to nurture the egg, allowing the Pokemon inside to grow healthily and become stronger."
Additionally, it significantly enhances the Pokemon's natural talent and intelligence.
In gaming terms, the Pokemon hatched from there would all be 6V perfect IV Pokemon.
"Wow! That's amazing!" Qi Shu exclaimed, and then, as if struck by a thought, she looked down at her abdomen: "Do you think that tree will be effective for our baby?
Shizuru: "Huh?"
Qi Shu murmured, "There's a saying that humans are also a kind of Pokemon, right? If that's true, then can our baby grow up healthy too?"
Shizuru: "I... I don't know about that."
Although he had heard that saying, no one knew if it was true or not.
Qi Shu made a decision right away, "For the sake of our baby's health, I'll go and sit in that tree hole every day from now on!"
The tree hole in the Nurture Treehouse wasn't particularly big or small, but for some reason, perhaps due to a year of growth, Shizuru had noticed that it had become noticeably larger when he last checked.
Qi Shu's petite figure could easily fit and even lie down comfortably inside.
Shizuru nodded, "Alright, I'll set up a bed for you there tomorrow morning, and you can go straight to it when it's ready."
"Okay, then it's decided!"
Time passed quietly, and before they knew it, it was already June 11th, 202 years in the League calendar.
Two months had passed since Shizuru took on the part-time role of Gym Leader, and both he and his Pokemon had gradually adapted to their new lifestyle.
Every morning, they would leave the ranch for the Gym, and then return home for dinner after work.
As the baby's due date approached, Qi Shu began to experience a series of physiological changes.
Her appetite increased, and she became more prone to sleepiness.
Every afternoon after lunch, she would dash into the Nurture Treehouse for a quick nap.
Additionally, Qi Shu occasionally live-streamed her life at the ranch, uploading videos of the Pokemon playing to her homepage, creating a record of their current moments.
The Gym work was sometimes busy and sometimes leisurely. Some days, they would receive several challenging Trainers, while other times, they wouldn't see a single challenger for days.
During quieter moments, Shizuru would open Qi Shu's homepage on his phone, watching the vlogs she recorded of Frostrotom, Skiddo, Eevil Pom, Noivern, and Rapidash.
Each time he did this, Shizuru couldn't help but smile.
During his time as a Gym Leader, Shizuru occasionally encountered Trainers who were a bit more "special."
For instance, there was the girl named Kerixa he met on his first day of work," he recalled.
She was a novice Trainer with no badges, but after hearing his advice, she began to challenge wild Pokemon and other Trainers in the wilderness around Nian Guang City.
Not only did her weak Lurantis evolve into a powerful Tsareena, but Kerixa also caught a Meowth skilled in the move Fury Swipes.
In the end, Tsareena defeated Raichu, and the girl earned her first Gym Badge.
Kerixa's dedication was awe-inspiring; within two months, she had evolved her starter Pokemon to its final form.
Most Trainers would struggle to stay at a single Gym for two months, but Kerixa's relentless training gave off a "ten-mile slope swordsman" vibe.
Shizuru still remembered the joy on that little girl's face when she succeeded in her challenge.
She and Tsareena were overjoyed, holding up the Electric Badge and shouting, "I got the Electric Badge!"
Thanks to Shizuru, Qi Shu's fan base skyrocketed in those short two months, and every time she went live, a flood of viewers filled the streaming room.
Countless people eagerly awaited the appearance of Shizuru's last two Pokemon that hadn't been shown yet.
However, Shizuru, perhaps intentionally, never allowed those two Pokemon to make an appearance.
This situation left many viewers on edge, as if ants were crawling all over their bodies, making them incredibly anxious.
Some even speculated that it was because no one could defeat Palkia and Kirlia.
Unless those two Pokemon were defeated, the viewers wouldn't get to see the remaining two.
As a result, some fans even started crowdfunding, issuing a call to gather Trainers powerful enough to defeat Kirlia and Palkia, offering a reward of two million League Coins to anyone who could make Shizuru send out his final two Pokemon.
This immediately attracted the attention of many powerful Trainers, some motivated by the money, others by the fame. In no time, various groups began to converge on the Paldea region.
Shizuru was unaware of this development.
After work that day, he immediately set off for home.
Today was the day Mew and Teddiursa were returning from the Expedition Guild!
Early that morning, Shizuru had seen the news on his Arceus Phone about the two Pokemon successfully saving the Maze World from impending destruction.
They had awakened Reshiram in that world, preventing the crisis of a giant meteor crashing into the planet.
Mew and Teddiursa returned to the World Tree, bringing with them blessings and specialties from that world.
As soon as they returned, they video-called Shizuru, saying they had gifts for him.
As soon as work was over, Shizuru mounted his Gogoat and hurried back to the ranch.
Dreamy and Teddy were sitting in the living room, enjoying the snacks Shizuru had made.
When they saw Shizuru return, their faces lit up with excitement.
"Miu!" Teddy handed Shizuru a bulging bag from behind.
Shizuru knew what was inside; he had seen it on his Arceus Phone—it was the special product that Dreamy and Teddy had found in the Maze World, the Miracle Seeds!
"How was the trip?" Shizuru reached out to take the bundle and asked with a smile.
"Miu!"
"Miu!"
When talking about this, Dreamy and Teddy's eyes shone with excitement.
They had successfully saved a world on the brink of destruction, made friends with many Pokemon in that world, and were hailed as great heroes!
"That's amazing!" Shizuru praised.
But soon, the two Pokemon lowered their heads.
"Miu..."
"Miu..."
Because they had been in the Infinite Maze, they had missed such an important event as Shizuru's wedding. Everyone went, but only the two of them weren't there...
Just thinking about it made the two Pokemon feel very sad.
Shizuru sensed their thoughts through the Everstone's power and chuckled: "Don't worry, it's fine that you missed it. Besides, you didn't even know when I would get married!"
Dreamy and Teddy lifted their heads.
"And I've already received your blessing gift. Thank you very much."
As he spoke, Shizuru waved the bundle in his hand.
Finally, Dreamy and Teddy broke into smiles, happy.
"Miu!"
"Miu!"
Shizuru didn't rush to open the bundle but instead chatted with the two Pokemon.
"What are your plans now? Do you want to continue exploring the Maze World or keep traveling in our world?"
Upon hearing this, Dreamy and Teddy looked at each other.
They thought about the unfinished commissions on their Lotad Phone and answered without hesitation:
"Miu!"
They wanted to stay and continue traveling because the commissions Shizuru had given them were not yet complete! For example, the sealed Hoopa.
"I see..."
Shizuru wasn't surprised by this answer: "Well, I wish you a safe journey then!"
"Miu!"
"Miu!"
Having spent too much time in the Maze World, Dreamy and Teddy couldn't afford to delay. They only rested for three days at the ranch and the World Tree before embarking on a new journey.
Three days later, at a port in the Paldea Region.
A giant ship slowly set sail as the sound of a melodious horn echoed along the coast.
Dreamy and Teddy sat atop the ship, gazing at the distant blue ocean.
At that moment, an announcement came over the loudspeaker.
"Attention, passengers. The journey is about to begin, with our destination being the Unova Region!"
Back at the ranch, Shizuru opened the bundle that Dreamy and Teddy had brought back.
Instantly, a bag full of seeds caught his eye.
As his gaze swept over them, information about the seeds appeared in his mind.
Revive Seeds, Happiness Seeds, Misfortune Seeds, Golden Seeds...
Revive Seeds had the same effect as Life Sheep Milk and could be planted. The crops that grew from them were Revive Grass.
Happiness Seeds had the effect of Miracle Candies, which could enhance a Pokemon's strength to a certain extent, but they couldn't be planted.
Misfortune Seeds had the opposite effect, and Golden Seeds were the strongest, capable of boosting strength significantly in one go, but unfortunately, they couldn't be planted either.
Shizuru counted the number of seeds.
There were 37 Revive Seeds, 4 Happiness Seeds, 3 Misfortune Seeds, and only 1 Golden Seed.
Additionally, there were Sleep Seeds that made Pokemon fall asleep when eaten, Blinding Seeds that caused temporary blindness, Weak Vision Seeds that induced weak vision, and even Blindness Seeds that could make a Pokemon permanently blind.
The only difference was that these seeds, like the Revive Seeds, could be planted.
But the problem was that these seeds that induced abnormal states didn't seem very useful...
Who would want to go blind?
Wait! Shizuru suddenly thought of something.
It was common knowledge that Reversal Rayquaza's Inverted World was filled with Reverse Power.
So, the question arose: if these seeds with abnormal effects were brought to the Inverted World and planted there, would their effects be reversed? For instance, could Blinding Seeds cure farsightedness or nearsightedness?
Could Weak Vision Seeds treat weak vision?
Could Blindness Seeds restore sight to the blind?
And as for Revive Grass, although it currently had a substitute in Life Sheep Milk, Shizuru suddenly had an idea about its potential use.
So far, the Grassy Puffballs that Riding Goats ate were made from ordinary grass.
What if the grass was replaced with Revive Grass? What kind of effect would these new "Grassy Puffballs" have?
