Miraidon followed Chen Kai out of the hospital and into town, constantly looking around.
Chen Kai walked beside it and asked, "Miraidon, what's wrong?"
It shook its head and transmitted to Chen Kai, "Just pure curiosity. I've only seen this kind of architectural style and people's clothing in data files."
If I traveled back to ancient times, would I be like Miraidon is now?
"Miraidon, what were the houses and people's clothing like in your world?" Chen Kai couldn't help but ask curiously.
Miraidon thought for a moment and said, "People there basically used alloys and tempered glass to construct buildings. Their clothing was also protective suits made of special alloys."
"What about food?"
"All food was canned nutrition."
"That doesn't sound very tasty."
"It's true, it had no taste, just like pure water. One can contained enough nutrients to sustain an ordinary human for a day."
"So, people in your world only drank one can of water a day?" Chen Kai asked in surprise.
Miraidon nodded at Chen Kai, "Yes, specifically, they only drank one can of nutrient solution a day."
"No delicious food, how boring life must be." Chen Kai pointed to the breakfast shop next door and asked, "We haven't eaten since leaving the hospital. Miraidon, you must be hungry too, right?"
Miraidon nodded slightly, "Replenishing some basic energy is also necessary."
Before long, Chen Kai held a steamed bun, and Xiao Mei drank a can of milk, both staring at Miraidon in shock.
In front of Miraidon were various foods: soy milk, fried dough sticks, wontons, and more than a dozen steamed buns. It ate with relish, like a whirlwind, one after another, as if its stomach could never be filled.
At this moment, the TV was broadcasting the Sichuan Province morning news: "Recently, geological activity in Sichuan Province has been frequent, and experts point out..."
The breakfast shop owner walked over and said helplessly, "Young man, it's almost noon, and my shop has been nearly eaten out by your Pokémon."
Chen Kai scratched his cheek awkwardly and said, "I'm so sorry, it hasn't eaten for too long. Owner, how much is it in total? I'll pay you."
The owner chuckled, "Total is 587, I'll charge you 580."
Chen Kai searched his entire body and only had a little over 200 yuan left. Students on vacation truly had no money. He reluctantly opened his phone's Taobao app and paid with Huabei first.
Miraidon swaggered out of the shop with Xiao Mei, still biting a steamed bun. At the same time, Miraidon's voice echoed in Chen Kai's mind.
"Xiao Kai, this food called 'steamed bun' is quite efficient for energy replenishment, but I still prefer the food called 'sandwich' from last night; it's more balanced."
"How are you even giving reviews now?" Chen Kai said with a wry smile, feeling a pang in his heart as he looked at his phone. He hadn't worried about a few hundred yuan in a long time.
"Sigh, it seems I need to find a way to make some money!"
Miraidon asked in surprise, "So, Xiao Kai, you're having some financial difficulties? I hadn't considered economic issues, I'm truly sorry."
Chen Kai waved his hand and replied, "It's not that bad, not that bad. I can still afford to treat you. I have parents in this world; let's go find them first. My home is on the hillside where we met. Let's go home and make a long-term plan."
Miraidon nodded. "I've recovered some strength. Xiao Kai, you can sit on my back, and I'll take you."
Saying that, it lay down on the ground, its limbs bent and suspended, its neck and tail forming a circle. Its scales stretched and transformed, its body lines fluid and agile, as if a masterpiece of wind, every turn just right, full of a perfect blend of technology and art.
A mysterious purple light emanated from its body, not dazzling, but deeply attracting people's gaze, like a charming gem from the depths of the universe.
Chen Kai and the passersby on the street were all stunned, and the people nearby whispered.
"Holy cow, so cool! What kind of Pokémon is this?"
"Is this a Cyclizar? Are there purple Cyclizar Pokémon?"
Worried about exposing Miraidon's uniqueness, Chen Kai hurriedly said, "Then I'll get on."
Miraidon's dorsal scales were not prickly; instead, they were very soft, making it comfortable to sit on, almost like a leather sofa.
Two handles extended from its neck, perfect for gripping. As Chen Kai sat steadily, the two circles formed by its neck and tail began to rotate like electromagnetic wheels.
Then it shot out like an arrow released from a bowstring.
"Oh!!!!"
"So cool, so handsome! Miraidon!"
"It can go even faster."
Saying that, Miraidon's thighs emitted a stream of air, leaving a faint purple afterglow. It weaved through the crowd and was out of town in half a minute.
Only Mareep was left dumbfounded on the spot.
"Meep? Meep!" I didn't get on the car, I didn't get on the car!
Chen Kai went back to pick up Mareep. When they arrived at his doorstep, he saw several people in special uniforms talking to Chen Dafu.
As he got closer, he only heard Chen Dafu say, "Thank you, it's a bother for you to come all this way."
"It's our duty. We'll be going now."
Chen Kai asked curiously, "Dad, what's wrong?"
Chen Dafu replied, "These are the Alliance's security officers. They searched all over Zining Mountain but couldn't find the Impidimps. They probably ran far away due to the frequent earthquakes recently."
"Are there many earthquakes recently?"
"Yes, it's only been stable recently. There were many earthquakes a few days ago, but they were all very slight. Although the earthquakes weren't dangerous, they caused wild Pokémon to scatter everywhere.
Is this the Cyclizar you saved? And it's a different color!" Chen Dafu looked at Miraidon curiously.
"Yes, its name is Miraidon, and it's my partner now!"
"So handsome! I've only ever seen differently colored Pokémon on TV!"
Even with Miraidon's AI-like brain and mechanical face, being praised all the way, it still showed some signs of awkwardness and unnaturalness.
Chen Dafu was accompanied by a Boltund and a Gogoat, which were Chen Dafu's main Pokémon. Their strengths had both reached Elite Level, and he had relied on them to help with herding before.
Chen Kai patted Boltund: "Thank you, Boltund. I relied on you to save me a few days ago."
Boltund licked Chen Kai's hand: "Woof! Woof!" and happily bounced around twice.
Back in the room, Chen Kai discussed with Miraidon, "Miraidon, we're at Zining Mountain now. Do you feel anything?"
Miraidon shook its head: "I didn't feel the previous energy fluctuations at your house."
"I haven't felt anything strange on the mountain these past few days either. How about we rest first, and after lunch, we can explore the mountain? Zining Mountain is still very large," Chen Kai suggested.
Miraidon nodded in agreement: "That's the only way."
The sun was high in the sky, and even a slight breeze felt somewhat hot.
A purple figure sped across the grassland.
Miraidon said apologetically, "Xiao Kai, I'll eat less next time."
Chen Kai smiled and said, "It's fine, it's fine. Our family can afford to feed you this much. This time, my mom didn't know your appetite, so she didn't cook enough. She'll prepare enough for you tonight."
After resting for a while in the morning, Chen Kai put on his headphones and surfed the internet, browsing TikTok to understand the situation of this world. He was so engrossed that Bai Lijuan called out "Dinner's ready" several times without a response, which angered Bai Lijuan, who then pinched his ear and dragged him downstairs.
When he came downstairs, he saw that Miraidon had already finished a whole pot of food and the rice in the rice cooker.
Chen Kai continued to comfort it, "Besides, you were so badly injured, you need to eat more to recover, right? And my mom's cooking is really good, isn't it!"
Miraidon nodded: "Mm! I think it's better than the steamed buns from this morning. But Xiao Kai, did your mom also transmigrate?"
"No, currently I only know that the two of us transmigrated. However, this world is similar to my original world. The biggest difference is probably Pokémon. In my original world, there were no Pokémon.
Specifically, Pokémon only existed in games and animations."
Miraidon said in surprise, "Your world was like that!!!"
"Yes, and you, Miraidon, were also in the game. You're a cover legendary! One of the strongest Pokémon, very popular!"
At this moment, even with Chen Kai on Miraidon's back, he could tell it was feeling awkward.
"Actually... I'm not strong in my own tribe, and they always complain that I consume too much energy."
"How could that be? I think you, Miraidon, are the coolest and strongest!"
And so, Miraidon became awkward again.
