So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 237 Anecdotes of the Morning

Wei Xin was awakened by the sound of arguing outside his window the next day.

"This is definitely the little girl. Everyone, keep a close eye on the gate and make sure she doesn't run out."

In a daze, Wei Xin felt dizzy and his body felt heavy, making it impossible for him to move.

Sleep paralysis?

Wei Xin struggled to open his eyes and saw Diancie lying on his stomach, her hands clinging to his collar, looking like a little bird nestled against him. Another blue hand covered her. Wei Xin turned his head slightly and saw a huge head resting on his arm, breathing steadily. It was Gardevoir. His right hand was numb from being pressed down by Gardevoir. He moved his left hand slightly and found a pink ribbon wrapped around it. It was Sylveon, lying on his left side.

It turns out they were three little female ghosts who treated him like a bedmate. They were really lucky.

Noticing the movement, Diancie frowned, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and yawned: "Good morning, Lord Wei Xin. Actually, I wanted to go back to my Poké Ball to sleep yesterday, but I couldn't resist Gardevoir's invitation. I—I hope I didn't disturb your sleep."

"No problem at all," Wei Xin said. "The one who used to be on top of me was Sylveon, and she's heavier than you—stop, stop, stop, I'm not saying anything more. Sylveon, loosen your tentacles, my hand is about to break."

Obviously, girls don't like others talking about their weight, especially when it's compared to other girls.

"Mia!" Sylveon snorted, got out of bed, shook its body, and its four tentacles lashed out at the air with a snapping sound. Gardevoir also opened its eyes, got up, and stretched, its huge body needing some time to adjust.

Wei Xin pulled his right hand away and found that it was numb, with only occasional tingling sensations. He needed some time to get used to it.

Looking at Gardevoir's nearly two-meter-long body, with her feet sticking out of the bed when she lay flat, Wei Xin considered whether to let her sleep in a separate room.

Gardevoir read this idea aloud.

"Shanai!" She hugged Wei Xin's arm, sniffed, and stared at him with teary eyes.

Do you really have the heart to kick me out of the room?

Wei Xin had no choice but to contact a furniture company to order a larger bed when he got back.

After tidying himself up and making sure his clothes were intact and that the three girls hadn't done anything strange while he was asleep, Wei Xin heard the commotion outside the hotel still going on. He walked to the window, pulled back the curtains with a whoosh, and let the blinding sunlight stream into the room. He shielded his eyes from the sun, squinted, and focused his gaze on the distant view outside the hotel.

A blonde girl stood at the door carrying several bags. In front of her, a group of burly men rolled up their sleeves, showing off their muscles. They looked menacing, but because of Lucario in front of the girl, they could only talk and dared not fight.

If Korni were a fairy from China, she would either yell at the men and see who could shout the loudest, or pull out her phone and use magic to attack them. But she wasn't. She could only shrink back and let them criticize her. She didn't even know that there was a universal phrase for girls from Donghuang: "So what?"

After all, it was his own opportunistic act that led him to use waveguides first.

Wei Xin changed into suitable clothes, walked out of the hotel, and politely said with clasped hands, "Brothers, this girl is from Carlos. It's her first time in Donghuang and she doesn't know the rules. If she has offended anyone, please forgive her. I am her friend. If there are any problems, you can come to me for help."

Seeing this, Korne and Lucario quietly moved their feet and shrank behind Wei Xin.

A group of burly men sized up Wei Xin, and after a brief silence, they changed their tune, saying, "There's no need for that. We're not here to cause trouble. In fact, we're just here to warn her not to set foot in the jade gambling market again."

Korne blinked. "That's not what you just said."

One of the clueless underlings asked doubtfully, "Boss, didn't we take the money? Come on..."

Before he could finish speaking, the burly man at the head of the group reached out his hand towards his mouth.

He grabbed it in one go.

Shut your dog mouth.

Wei Xin's rescue of Fangyuan was widely reported by major media outlets. Although most people later treated it as ordinary news and forgot about it, going about their own lives as if the world had almost been destroyed and had nothing to do with them, there were still some who, for various reasons, such as taking a few more glances at the photos in the reports, or simply having good memories.

The burly man at the head of the group raised his eyebrows and glared. Jade gambling was a small circle where the rules were set by their own people, and many of them were not protected by law. Therefore, it was inseparable from local bullies and powerful figures. If you encountered someone with a big fist or status, you couldn't touch them at all. Last time, he personally witnessed someone trying to cheat a foreigner with inferior stones, only to be beaten senseless by the other party's glittering giant gold monster.

The burly man whispered a warning: "Damn it, shut up. You want to be captured and fed to Lugia, don't you?"

Wei Xin really wanted to tell them that his Lugia usually eats high-grade energy cubes and doesn't eat people, but he thought better of it. It's better to avoid trouble; he's a peace-loving person.

"That's all. Have a great time in Shanxi, you two. I won't bother you anymore, I'm leaving now!" The burly man in the lead kicked his resentful underling's butt and left with his hands behind his back.

"Mr. Wei Xin is amazing for getting rid of them with just a few words!" Kernie exclaimed.

"Actually, you can drop the 'sir' when you address me. I'm about your age." Wei Xin looked at the styrofoam box in Ke Erni's hand. "Is there breakfast inside?"

"Ah, yes," Korne said happily, picking up the plastic bag in her hand. "I bought breakfast for everyone: fried dumplings, steamed rice, and soy milk. The food in Donghuang is completely different from that in Carlos, especially breakfast. We usually have bread, bacon, milk, fried eggs, and sandwiches."

"Okay, I'll go wake Wanlong and Papa up."

While having breakfast, Wei Xin received a message from Ms. Officer Jenny, and soon after, he put down his phone.

"What do you mean? Spinner and Emegio ran away?" Wanlong joked, handing the story to the police. The usual plot development is that a heinous criminal is kidnapped, causing a series of major follow-up problems. So they should have just killed the two of them underground and eliminated them completely.

"Wanlong, you're going a bit too far," Wei Xin complained. "Spinner didn't escape; she's been imprisoned by Donghuang's special forces and will never get out. As for Amegio—he was bailed out the moment he stepped inside."

"Bail?" Piper put down his soy milk in surprise. "I remember the Exploration Team and Beyond Corporation are in cahoots. They were also involved in the incident caused by the Enhanced Ball. How could they be released on bail?"

"It's simple. We have no evidence that Amegio is a member of the exploration team, and he didn't just jump out and introduce himself," Wei Xin shrugged, chewing on his steamed bun, and said frankly.

In fact, releasing Emezio was also part of Wei Xin's plan. From the perspective of the wave guide, Emezio is a fairly upright person, but he is not very bright and was kept in the dark by his great-grandfather. He was quite curious whether Emezio would become a loving father and son with the leader of the exploration team after he learned the truth about the Lac element.

"And even if evidence is found, Amegio will eventually be rescued."

"Why?" Korne asked, puzzled.

"Because of the Lak element, it can prolong life and even make people immortal. Even emperors who possess the wealth of an entire country and have immense power can be bewitched by it, let alone some old and powerful figures. Why don't you guess why the exploration team can move freely on the land of Donghuang?"

Wanlong pushed up his glasses, mixed the soy milk and tofu pudding together, and let out a sinister laugh.

Then he poured the mixture into Gengar.

"Alright, anyway, once the Lac element is dealt with, all these problems will be solved," Wei Xin said, patting his stomach after eating and drinking his fill. "Wanlong, Papa, and I plan to go back to Shanghai. Kerni, where are you planning to go next?"

"Ah, I—I'm planning to visit a friend of my grandfather's in Wudang to discuss the mysteries of Mega Evolution with him, but before that," Korini said to Wei Xin with a steamed bun in her mouth, "Wei Xin, would you like to have a Pokémon battle with me?"
