“Hey everyone, long time no see, I’m Professor Platane. I’m a Pokémon researcher for new Trainers embarking on their journeys, and the Pokémon Summer Camp is back! Let’s make wonderful memories together, Pokémon and Trainers alike!”
………………
“So, Professor, what kind of stunt are you pulling now?”
Gui Ling looked at the surrounding beach and cabins, as well as the team flags, lost in thought.
“You called me here just to participate in this… Summer Camp?”
“That’s right! What do you think?”
“I’ve never been to a Summer Camp before, so I don’t know if it’ll be fun. More than this, I’d rather find a Mega Evolution ite for Noivern.”
“Didn’t I tell you on the phone? Many people say they’ve found Mega Evolution ites in the forest around this Summer Camp, and the machine shows that the Mega Evolution waves here are very strong, so you might just find one!”
“Alright, but more importantly, Professor, what’s your understanding of Primal Reversion?”
“All the data is in the lab. After this Summer Camp, I’ll give you all my information. Why do you ask?”
“I caught a Legendary Pokémon with the Master Ball you gave me, and I want it to undergo Primal Reversion.”
“Oh, a Legendary Pokémon… What did you say?!!”
“Professor, image, image.”
“Image, my foot! You caught another Legendary Pokémon?!! What is it? Tell me quickly!!!”
“Professor! I’m dizzy! You’re shaking me dizzy!”
It took a while for Professor Platane to calm down and release Gui Ling, but Gui Ling was already on the verge of collapsing from being shaken, and could only lean on Ceruledge.
“Sorry, Gui Ling… I got too excited, haha…”
“So many stars…”
“Let’s go take Gui Ling to rest first…”
Professor Platane and Ceruledge took Gui Ling to a cabin. Having lived in the wild for so long, Gui Ling’s strong adaptability allowed him to recover quickly.
Professor Platane handed Gui Ling a glass of water. After drinking it, the two began to chat.
“I’ve been thinking for a long time. You first mentioned Primal Reversion, then you said you caught a Legendary Pokémon. Currently, there are only two known Legendary Pokémon that can undergo Primal Reversion. One is the Lord of the Land, Groudon, and the other is the King of the Ocean, Kyogre. Did you catch one of them?”
“Yes, but mine is just a young one, which is why I want it to undergo Primal Reversion.”
“Which one?! As long as they undergo Primal Reversion, they gain the power to destroy the world! Both of them are incredibly strong!”
“Allow me to keep you in suspense for now. I’ll tell you after the Summer Camp ends.”
“Ugh! At a time like this, you’re still keeping me in suspense… Fine, I can wait!”
Gui Ling’s tone shifted, and he looked at the boundless sea, deep in thought.
“So you invited me here just to participate in this Summer Camp?”
“Yes, I hope every Trainer and their Pokémon can gain unforgettable memories here!”
“Thank you for the invitation. It seems my Gym challenge will have to be delayed.”
“It’s only for a week. Your recent deeds have been spreading throughout the Kalos region!”
“The Yveltal incident?”
“Yes!”
“As expected, but this way, I should also get into quite a bit of trouble.”
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
“A certain organization that targets Legendary Pokémon might set their sights on me…”
“An organization that targets Legendary Pokémon?”
“Don’t worry about me. I’m confident I can take them all down in one go, at least for now, their combat power isn’t very strong.”
Gui Ling and Professor Platane began to greet the newcomers. Soon, a familiar voice rang out from behind Gui Ling.
“Hi! Gui little brother!”
“Anne big sister?”
Anne flew over on Glalie and immediately looked around Gui Ling.
“How have you been? Did you get your Gym Badges?”
“I got them. I’m on my fourth now.”
“I’ve got six already~ You need to work harder!”
“That fast? Alright.”
“Hehe, and! I have a new partner who can Mega Evolve!”
“Mine too. Want to have a battle?”
“Sure, but let’s form our team first. It seems we need three people, right?”
Gui Ling nodded, scanned the people around him, and saw someone he had only met once.
“Braixen? That boy seems to be called… Xiao Liang?”
The boy saw Gui Ling waving from a distance and ran over, immediately getting excited when he recognized him.
“Gui brother! You’re here too!”
“Little brother, who is he?”
“We met once. His name is Xiao Liang. He helped me make a fire when I was injured before. Your Fennekin evolved too.”
“Of course! I’ve always wanted to catch up to you!”
“Fennekin!”
“How about it? Do you have a team?”
“Not yet…”
“Then join us. Our team is the Snivy Team, and we just need one more person.”
“Okay!”
While Xiao Liang and Anne went to the cabin to pack their things, Gui Ling also saw a few familiar faces.
“Hi, Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Eureka.”
“It’s Gui Ling!”
“Pikachu!”
“Professor Platane is over there. Go find him if you want to know anything.”
“Are you participating in this Summer Camp too?!”
“Pikachu!”
“Yes, I’m on the Snivy Team. Let’s do our best together.”
“Okay!”
………………
After a while, everyone found their respective teams. The Trainers stood in front of a podium, listening to Professor Platane explain the rules of the Summer Camp.
“Dear Trainers, thank you for taking the time to participate. The purpose of holding this Summer Camp is to hope that everyone can interact with other Trainers and build deep friendships. This week-long event starts today, please enjoy it thoroughly!”
“In addition, we have also asked Miss Joy to set up a Pokémon Center! And the camping ground manager whom we ask for help every time, Ms. Catherine!”
【The author was dumbfounded when he saw this name, and unconsciously wanted to skip the dialogue.】
【Towards the stars and the abyss… Hmm, hmm, hmm!】
【Shut your mouth!!!】
“For the daily activities of this Summer Camp, our system will evaluate everyone’s results! First place gets ten points, second place gets seven points, and third place gets three points. There are no points after fourth place. I hope everyone can work together and compete!”
“The team with the highest score calculated on the last day will be designated as the Trainers who enter the Pokémon Summer Camp Hall of Fame!”
“The current Champion, Carnet, also entered the Summer Camp Hall of Fame when she was around your age~”
Gui Ling was not interested in these things. He only wanted to obtain information on Primal Reversion and the Noivern Mega Evolution ite.
Gui Ling nodded and was about to leave, but Anne and Xiao Liang directly pulled him away.
“My opponent is you!”
At this moment, a younger boy pointed at Gui Ling and issued a challenge. Gui Ling sighed and decided to accept the battle.
“Then hurry up, I’m in a rush to go back and organize data. Servine, it’s up to you!”
“Servine!”
“Fletchling! I’m counting on you!”
“Chirp, chirp!”
“Fletchling, use Steel Wing!”
“Attract.”
Fletchling was hit by Attract before it even reached Servine, then fell to the ground in a pathetic heap.
“Use Vine Whip to throw it out.”
The Vine Whip furiously whipped Fletchling, and the battle ended quickly.
“Thanks for the battle.”
Just as Gui Ling recalled Servine and was about to leave, the boy became indignant.
“What was that move?! Fight me head-on if you dare!”
“Losing is losing. There’s nothing to complain about.”
Gui Ling stopped, looking at the boy askance, but the boy was still unconvinced and pulled out another Poké Ball.
“I’m not convinced! Let’s fight again!”
“Not admitting your failure, but instead trying to escape reality this way? You’re not a qualified Trainer.”
Seeing Gui Ling about to leave, the boy’s other teammate immediately ran over and blocked Gui Ling.
“Um… my friend’s temper is a bit strange, I apologize to you on his behalf, how about you just battle him again?”
“Sick.”
Gui Ling felt that something strange was happening today. In the past, no matter who challenged him, if he refused, they would leave, but today he was actually being forced to battle.
“Brother, what you’re saying is a bit too much.”
“Damn it…”
Gui Ling also became interested, nodding and looking at the boy blocking his way with an extremely dangerous gaze.
“Alright, a team has three people. Call your other teammate over, and I’ll fight all three of you alone, otherwise, don’t block my way.”
“Ah? This…”
“I’ll only give you one minute, otherwise I’m leaving.”
The dispute here immediately attracted everyone’s attention, and soon their other teammate rushed over.
“Are you ready?”
“Brother on the other side! Are you sure you want to go one-on-three?”
“If I don’t beat you until you submit, it seems I won’t be able to leave today. Let’s start now.”
Everyone gathered around. Anne and Xiao Liang originally wanted to join the battle, but Gui Ling stopped them.
“Froakie! Go!”
“Chespin!”
“Fennekin!”
Looking at the initial starter Pokémon in front of him, Gui Ling’s eye twitched as he looked at the Poké Balls on his belt, not knowing which one to take out.
It seemed like any of them could easily dominate, right?
“Are you going to battle or not…? Are you scared?”
The people around looked at Gui Ling’s hesitant expression, thinking he was scared, and started whispering among themselves.
Gui Ling thought for a moment and still took out a Poké Ball, finally throwing it into the sky.
“Darkrai, take care of them.”
To everyone’s astonished gazes, the legendary Mythical Pokémon appeared in everyone’s sight, and everyone gasped in amazement.
Serena pulled out her Pokédex and scanned it.
“Darkrai, the Pitch-Black Pokémon. It has the ability to make people fall into deep sleep and have nightmares. It is active on moonless nights.”
“What kind of Pokémon is this? I’ve never seen it before… but its eyes are so scary…”
“Never mind! Attack first! Froakie, use Bubble!”
“Pin Missile!”
“Flamethrower!”
But Darkrai did not dodge, instead taking all three attacks head-on. When the dust cleared, Darkrai stood unharmed in its original spot.
Immediately after, Darkrai waved a hand, and three Dark Pulses shot out, directly sending Froakie and the others flying.
“All of you here are trash!”
As Darkrai used Dark Hole to plunge the three Pokémon into nightmares, it gently floated in front of them, first picking one up and tossing it into the air, then firing a Shadow Sneak skyward, directly knocking out Fennekin.
It then used Psychic to lift Chespin into the sky, then violently slammed it back down.
Finally, it looked at the Froakie in front of it and directly blasted it into the ground with a Dark Pulse. In just half a minute, Darkrai instantly defeated the three Pokémon.
At this moment, the three Trainers looked at their completely decimated Pokémon and couldn’t utter a word, but Darkrai flew in front of Gui Ling, looking somewhat displeased.
“What kind of opponents did you find for me? So useless?”
“It was my oversight, I didn’t consider your feelings.”
Seeing Gui Ling’s expression somewhat resembling how he looked that night before, Darkrai didn’t know why it felt a little flustered and began to explain.
“No, I didn’t mean that, I just feel like this way I can’t experience the joy of battle.”
“Haha! I understand. Don’t worry, if there’s a strong opponent next time, I’ll definitely call you out.”
Seeing Gui Ling smile, Darkrai finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then Gui Ling recalled Darkrai into its Poké Ball and returned to the cabin with Anne and Xiao Liang.
During their time in the cabin, Gui Ling continuously organized information on Primal Reversion and Mega Evolution, spending an entire day reading…
On the second day’s fishing competition, Gui Ling thought that since he could fish up Kyogre, he could definitely get ten points. However, he fished for almost half a day and didn’t catch anything.
On the contrary, other Trainers were catching Pokémon like crazy, some even catching several.
This made Gui Ling so frustrated that he almost wanted to throw Kyogre in to catch fish.
But Anne’s fishing skills were excellent; she practically carried the entire team’s points by herself, even catching a Sharpedo.
You ask how she caught it? After reeling it in, Darkrai first put it to sleep with Dark Hole, then Trevenant went up and smacked it awake with a Wood Hammer, then put it to sleep again, then woke it up again…
Sharpedo: I want to go home… Why is my mouth so talkative today?
Xiao Liang caught a few random ones, and surprisingly, the Snivy Team ended up in second place, which was quite unexpected.
MVP: Anne
Originally, Gui Ling had lost interest in this Summer Camp, but he was still dragged out by Anne and Xiao Liang.
“Alright, hurry up and come out!”
“Let me organize my data for a bit…”
“Professor said we’re making a Pokémon short film this time! We can’t do it without you!”
“Spare me…”
“We’re planning to film Mega Evolution! You have the most Mega Evolutions, hurry up and come out!”
“Hmm? Mega Evolution? Oh, in that case, let’s go.”
“Your face changes so fast…”
The three rode Yveltal and flew directly out of the Summer Camp. During this time, Gui Ling sent a message to Professor Platane on his phone to report his safety, and then didn’t look at his phone again.
It was exactly like a university student asking their advisor for leave, the advisor refusing to approve it, but the student had already left.
The three arrived at the cliff and looked around, finding it to be a very suitable place for filming.
After all, to film the oppressive feeling of Mega Evolution, you need to choose a more majestic location, right?
All three released all their Pokémon, including Gui Ling’s Kyogre.
To Anne and Xiao Liang’s astonished gazes, the newly summoned Kyogre immediately fell into the sea below the cliff.
Gui Ling took a lot of effort to explain, but neither of them believed him. What kind of good person could fish up a Kyogre? And Gui Ling, who hadn’t caught a single fish today?
“I really didn’t lie!”
“Don’t believe it.”
“But no matter what, Gui Ling brother actually managed to get another Legendary Pokémon!”
At this moment, Kyogre was still in the sea, tilting its head and looking at the arguing trio, blinking innocently.
“Woo—?”
