So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 129 Myths and Unofficial Histories

Chapter 129 Myths and Unofficial Histories

What are the three most popular places for a date?

Ferris wheel, aquarium, movie theater

If you talk about the Three Gorges Dam, the Beijing subway, or the Tokyo Red Well, I'll punish you by making you get stuffed into a ball by a dog, then sent to a breeding house to lay eggs with Herzog.

However, Wei Xin did not choose any of the aforementioned locations.

At the aquarium, he and Cynthia rode Lugia to the real underwater world.

In the movie theater, there's a real superstar among Cynthia's friends. What movie hasn't he seen? Hoopa Reborn?

Then why not find an opportunity later to take her to see the live version?

Because they were in a busy downtown area, Cynthia wore sunglasses, a mask, and a black wig, concealing her exquisitely sculpted face and tall, alluring figure.

Now she appears to be just a mature and beautiful woman from Donghuang.

Although Shanghai is an international metropolis where you can see many foreigners on the streets, including many celebrities, she doesn't like encountering someone every few steps who comes up to ask for photos or autographs, saying they've seen her on TV.

I've seen her on TV, but not in the next village. She's Cynthia (her name means bamboo orchid), not Cuihua.

"I thought you would choose to take me to an amusement park or something." Standing at the entrance of the Shanghai History Museum, Cynthia glanced sideways at Wei Xin, who, regardless of gender, was no less impressive than herself in terms of temperament.

If it were any other girl, she would probably give Wei Xin a good scolding. How could someone take a girl to a museum? That's so insensitive!

What happened to the idea that liberal arts students are romantic?

However, as a mythology historian, Cynthia already had plans to visit museums, and Wei Xin's arrangement was exactly what she needed.

She suddenly felt that Wei Xin seemed to understand her very well, including her likes and dislikes, but his behavior didn't seem like that of a fanatical stalker.

It's more like a perfectly parallel line beside you; with just a slight shift in your footing, the two of you will collide at the end of an almost infinite road.

"Can I take this as an invitation to go out again next time?" Wei Xin smiled.

"You said it yourself." Although she wasn't interested in amusement parks, the so-called Ferris wheels and roller coasters were not as exciting as riding a Togekiss or Garchomp over Mt. Coronet.

But she was more interested in Wei Xin, and being with him kept her from getting bored.

Passing through the museum's doors, aside from students reluctantly following the tour guide during their school's social practice activities, there were only a few scattered adults inside, and they were clearly not locals from Shanghai.

Compared to the dull and unsustainable history with no sponsors, most people prefer the tense and exciting Pokémon battles.

"Since you brought me here, I'll leave the explanation to you. As your history teacher, I'll be giving you a grade," Cynthia said. "Where shall we begin?"

Is it possible that there are rewards for high scores and penalties for low scores? Can I have them all?

"We still have plenty of time, so why not start with Pangu, or Arceus, creating the world?" Wei Xin borrowed a small, promotional buzzer from the front desk, blew on it a couple of times to make sure it worked properly, and then stood at the very front of the historical scroll.

"As mentioned last time, the world at that time was in a state of chaos—"

You've already created something entirely new, so where did the "previous chapter" come from?

As Cynthia listened to Wei Xin recount how Arceus created the world, and how Dialga, the god of time, and Palkia, the god of space, led to the formation of the material world.

The Three Sacred Mushrooms were created to represent human emotions, will, and knowledge, respectively.

Wei Xin's explanation combined the history of Eastern mythology with her own biography of Sinnoh, while also making comparisons with myths from other regions and adding some embellishments.

Cynthia chuckled to herself. She was the author of the Sinnoh Chronicles, and he was the one who told Sinnoh Chronicles.

The attempt to curry favor is far too obvious.

However, at least he put in the effort.

Students who proactively preview lessons are always better than those who don't do their homework, and since the lesson was also quite good, as a teacher, I should give him a passing grade.

Until Cynthia heard that Giratina, the Dark Dragon, had been captivated by Shaymi, the goddess who sang in the forest, and brought him into the Distortion World, the ignorant Shaymi could no longer leave after eating the food of the Distortion World and could only accompany Giratina forever.

Enraged by the loss of Shemi, Ifilthar caused life in the real world to vanish. Xerneas confronted him in an attempt to protect life, and the peacemaker Zygard eventually mediated between them.

The story follows Shaymi as he tells Arceus about Giratina's actions, and Arceus eventually intervenes, giving Giratina a sound beating before bringing Shaymi back to the real world.

And the legendary Mythical Pokémon Mew, which, through transforming into various Pokémon, leaves its mark on the world in a melodramatic and farcical story.

Wei Xindu told the story vividly.

While interesting, most people consider it pure fiction.

A student raised their hand: "Teacher, aren't you afraid that Giratina will jump out of the Reverse World and beat you up when you tell such wild history?"

Wei Xin: "If he crawls out and hits me, it means I was right, he's getting anxious."

Wei Xin wasn't worried about this at all. Putting aside the possibility that the giant serpent was spying on him from the side, according to the setting, Giratina was punished by Arceus and banished to the Reverse World, so it was unable to leave on its own.

The onlookers on the ground were laughing so hard they were doubled over, but Cynthia frowned.

Because Giratina did not have a significant impact on Sinnoh's history, there is no information about Giratina in the Sinnoh Chronicles.

It wasn't mentioned in the references, so where did you find out?

Furthermore, according to historical records from the Sinnoh region, there is indeed a saying that once you enter the Reverse World, you can never return to reality. Only the Mythical Pokémon Shaymin can open the gate to the Reverse World. Therefore, this species is attacked and captured by Giratina, and the murals in the Sinnoh Ruins also prove this point.

But these materials are in the hands of some scholars in the Sinnoh region, so how could he know them?

Wei Xin's account left Xilona somewhat bewildered, unable to distinguish which parts of the history he recounted were true and which were fabricated.

The teacher doesn't even know the answer key, how are they going to grade this? Dude, can you help the teacher out?

Could it be that this handsome, thick-browed man, Dream, is really a womanizer?

Hirona felt that Wei Xin was a skilled and humorous history teacher who used a combination of unofficial and official history to try to arouse students' interest in history.

From Qu Yuan jumping into the river, which is why some of the straw-cloaked insects in the Donghuang region are wrapped in bamboo leaves, to Liu Xiu going to war and using a bunch of Dragon-type Pokémon to bombard the battlefield with Draco Meteorites.

He actually succeeded. Before long, almost everyone in the museum was standing in front of Wei Xin, listening to him recount the world's long-forgotten history. Every time Wei Xin stopped, there was thunderous applause.

She found it hard to imagine that history could be so appealing to ordinary people. If only her grandmother could tell history as interestingly as Wei Xin...

Instead of simply reading from dry documents, she wouldn't have only one student.

She should send her grandmother over for tutoring.

If Grandma doesn't boss her around and force her to bring Weixin back to Shenon.

She also found it hard to imagine that these stories and histories were told by a 19-year-old student, and how long he had spent preparing them.

During a break in his lecture, Wei Xin took a sip of water and involuntarily let out a long yawn, looking somewhat tired.

Could it be that you didn't sleep last night?

Cynthia remembered that she had mentioned to Wei Xin about her substitute teaching before the exhibition match.

Could it be that he's been preparing all along? Just because of a careless remark I made? To meet me?

Considering that she would be taking on the role of a teacher in Donghuang, Hirona felt that she should also learn how to prepare lessons. She couldn't possibly expect her students to memorize her works from beginning to end, could she?

Cynthia suddenly thought, why not just bring him over as her teaching assistant? That way, she'd have plenty of reasons to meet him, and she could also avoid the teacher-student dynamic.

Perhaps we should apply to the school. Out of respect, let's ask Wei Xin's opinion first.

Although she felt that no one would refuse the Sinnoh champion's invitation.

Although Cynthia wished the story could be longer, more numerous, and ideally never end, five thousand years of history is only the thickness of a textbook. This journey through time and space finally came to an end as she watched the sky turn red.

Wei Xin and Shirona walked out of the museum door side by side.

As the sun sets, dozens of Pokémon riding enthusiasts gather on a mountain road outside a villa area on the outskirts of Shanghai, eagerly awaiting the appearance of the "Mount Tianguan Rider" to treat them to some delicious juice.

To make the ending of this journey even more captivating, Rotom secretly sent a message to all the newspapers in Shanghai: "Sinnoh Champion Cynthia is secretly dating a strange man at the museum."
