“All you Trainers, are you ready to enjoy the Summer Camp?”
“Yes!”
“Good! That’s excellent. But tomorrow, even more exciting lessons await all of you~”
“What is it?”
“Listen carefully! It’s the Summer Camp’s famous team competition! The Pokémon Orienteering Race!”
“The Pokémon Orienteering Race?”
“That’s right! It’s a race where teams compete against each other to collect stamps at checkpoints set along various routes, then head to the finish line. Third place gets three points, second place gets seven points, and first place gets ten points.”
“Currently, the Snivy Team is in first place with 14 points, while the Froakie Team and Squirtle Team are tied for second. Everyone, aim for a comeback victory and do your best!”
The Pokémon short film Gui Ling and his team made mainly showcased Mega Evolution, allowing everyone to see many Mega Evolved Pokémon they had never seen before, including even the two Legendary Pokémon, Kyogre and Yveltal.
This also let Professor Platane know what Gui Ling’s second Legendary Pokémon was, and he quickly had his assistant compile all the Primal Reversion data.
On the first day, Gui Ling was widely discussed by Trainers for being too arrogant, but when they saw the two Legendary Pokémon in the Pokémon short film, they all immediately quieted down.
With a second-place finish in the Pokémon short film, they earned 7 points, making the Froakie Team and Squirtle Team have 13 points, just one point behind.
...
“Little brother, stop reading so much, you’re going to become a bookworm.”
“I want Kyogre to awaken Primal Reversion, otherwise, I have to bring it to a large body of water, and I don’t want it to suffer by following me.”
“I see… I understand, but tomorrow is the Pokémon Orienteering Race, and we need to cooperate.”
“I know, I didn’t say I wouldn’t participate tomorrow. Go to bed quickly, I’ll read a bit more.”
“Okay!”
Gui Ling didn’t know why, but ever since he transmigrated here, he had enjoyed reading, perhaps because what he read was knowledge about Pokémon, and not those boring “X = what” equations.
...
“Everyone, let’s go! We must get those ten points!”
Anne energetically dragged Xiao Liang, who was still half-asleep, and Gui Ling, who looked helpless, to the starting line.
As Professor Platane blew his whistle, everyone dashed towards the badge points.
Just as Anne was about to walk, she was pulled back by Gui Ling. Gui Ling summoned Noivern and rode on it.
“Don’t you have a Salamence?”
“Uh, is this okay?”
“Who cares, the rules don’t say we can’t ride Flying-type Pokémon. Besides, rules are meant to be broken!”
“Then what about me? I don’t have a Flying-type Pokémon!”
“Xiao Liang, you can fly with me. Salamence is big.”
“Okay!”
Meanwhile, Professor Platane, on the spectator stand, prepared the monitoring equipment, greeted a few staff members, and then sat down.
“Excellent, this way I can confirm everyone’s competition status. Show me the deep friendship between Trainers and Pokémon, and the spirit of cooperation among friends!”
Gui Ling and his two teammates first flew to Checkpoint A. Seeing the badge point that required climbing, Gui Ling had Trevenant use Frenzy Plant to take him up, successfully claiming the first badge.
Checkpoint B was a sky bridge. Those with acrophobia immediately felt their legs go weak, but Xiao Liang, like a brute, charged across with his Gligar, which startled Serena, who had been curled up on the bridge.
However, they also successfully obtained the badge.
Next was Checkpoint C. Anne entered the cave with her Beedrill and, after circling several times, finally obtained the third badge.
However, the Froakie Team and Squirtle Team were ahead of the Snivy Team. As long as they passed through the misty gate, they could reach the finish line.
But Gui Ling and his teammates had Flying-type Pokémon, so who would win or lose was still uncertain.
However, looking at the mist in front of them, the three still gave up the idea of flying and had Noivern lead the way with Supersonic.
But just as they were about to reach the gate, they found Ash and his friends constantly calling out Eureka and Pikachu’s names.
“Ash, what happened?”
“Gui Ling? Have you seen Eureka and Pikachu?”
“No, did you get separated?”
“We and Tierno are also looking… but still no luck.”
“Noivern can use Supersonic to observe the surroundings. We’ll help you.”
“Huh? No need! We can’t delay you!”
“Human lives are at stake, what’s a competition? Let’s find Eureka quickly and end this competition.”
Gui Ling didn’t waste words. He immediately directed Noivern to search the surroundings. At the same time, Anne also summoned her Salamence and Beedrill, and Xiao Liang summoned his Gligar.
The Flying-type Pokémon searched for Eureka and Pikachu above the mist, while Ash and the others searched the ground thoroughly.
Noivern’s Supersonic was limited. Although it sensed many creatures, it couldn’t pinpoint Eureka’s location. After flying a few circles with no results, it landed on a tree branch, somewhat dejected.
“Noivern?”
But just then, Supersonic feedbacked a very powerful energy body. Noivern flew over and found a purple glass bead wrapped in a stone.
“Noivern?”
After poking it with its tail, the stone emitted a golden Mega Evolution light, and at the same time, the Key Stone on Gui Ling’s bracelet also emitted a white Mega Evolution light.
Amidst everyone’s shocked gazes, the light slowly dissipated, but Noivern’s body in the mist began to change.
Its original two bat wings turned into four, its tail became longer, and its overall size increased significantly.
As Noivern used Supersonic again, this time the Supersonic even covered the entire Summer Camp. Everything, even the slightest rustle of wind or grass, was clearly visible.
Finally, he found Eureka’s location on the opposite side of a cliff, then flew towards Gui Ling and his teammates.
“Eureka! Pikachu! Where are you?”
“Wow! What is that thing!”
Clemont was still searching around, but then he saw a giant figure rapidly flying through the mist in front of him.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa! There’s a monster!”
Just as everyone was ready for battle, the giant figure in front of them revealed its true form, and everyone was stunned to see the giant Noivern.
“Noivern?”
Gui Ling recognized his Noivern at a glance. He walked over and slowly stroked Noivern’s head, and Noivern also closed its eyes in enjoyment, feeling the caress.
“Huh? Gui Ling, is this your Noivern?! How did it become like this?”
Gui Ling looked at Noivern’s appearance, then at the Key Stone emitting purple light, and instantly understood everything.
“Mega Evolution?”
“Mega Evolution?! Noivern can Mega Evolve too?!”
“I don’t know, don’t look at me.”
“Noivern, Noivern!”
“Found her? Stop babbling, let’s go! Eureka’s been found!”
Upon hearing that Eureka was found, everyone immediately cast their shock aside and followed Noivern to find Eureka.
Along the way, they also stepped on a Foongus. After Greninja and Squirtle used water elements to clear the mushroom spores, Yveltal emerged and used Death Wing to turn the Foongus into stone.
When Yveltal was about to un-petrify the Foongus, Gui Ling kicked him away.
Everyone arrived at the cliff and saw Eureka on the opposite side. Just as Clemont was frantically trying to figure out a way, Noivern flew directly over and brought Eureka back.
“Thank you, Noivern. By the way, how did you find her from such a distance?”
Gui Ling was a little confused, but Noivern used Supersonic again to observe the surroundings. Gui Ling miraculously saw the same scene as Noivern, with the entire Summer Camp’s mountainous region visible.
Not only Gui Ling, but even Ash and his friends also felt it. The Mega Evolved Noivern could actually share its Supersonic.
“That’s amazing!”
Amidst everyone’s praise and surprise, Noivern reverted from Mega Evolution, and a Mega Stone wrapped in stone fell into Gui Ling’s hand.
“It’s a miracle!”
“Noivern!”
Looking at the excited Noivern, Gui Ling patted its head in congratulations. Before, Noivern had been a bit envious of everyone who could Mega Evolve, and Gui Ling had even created special Mega Evolution lines for them. It really wanted one too.
“I know you’ve always wanted that line, so now’s the time.”
“May the dragon of Sound Waves protect its body, granting it the ‘Echo’ that perceives all!”
...
“A Pokémon I’ve never seen before?”
Everyone listened as Eureka, now awake, described the wondrous Pokémon she had seen. Gui Ling listened and frowned.
“Yes, yes! Just like that, when that Pokémon walked by, it bloomed such beautiful flowers! So I unconsciously went over~”
“Pika!”
“It blooms beautiful flowers just by walking by?”
Gui Ling couldn’t help but ponder, feeling it was very familiar.
“Wow! A Pokémon that makes flowers bloom by the roadside!”
“Next, Beedrill… over there!!!”
Everyone looked in the direction Eureka pointed and saw a Pokémon in the mist.
It looked like a deer. Wrapped in mist, only its general shape could be seen, but its colorful antlers emitted the aura of life, and its overall shape resembled an X.
“What is that?”
“Oh my goodness! A Pokémon I’ve never seen!”
“Is it a Pokémon… right?”
But at this moment, Gui Ling walked through the middle of the crowd, simultaneously summoning Yveltal and flying towards the cliff side.
“Long time no see, Xerneas.”
“Xerneas?!”
“Clemont, what’s wrong?”
“Xerneas is a Legendary Pokémon! It’s a Legendary Pokémon that can bestow life upon others!”
Everyone was greatly shocked upon hearing this. They saw Yveltal and Gui Ling’s Xerneas emerge from the mist, which also allowed Ash and his friends to see Xerneas’s true face.
“Hello there, Yveltal and Gui Ling.”
“Long time no see, Xerneas.”
“... (Long time no see.)”
“I never thought I’d see you two here.”
Gui Ling nodded and took out a box of macarons from his backpack.
“Here, a meeting gift. I’ve seen you twice before and haven’t given you a gift.”
“Actually, these things aren’t necessary…”
“... (Take it. It’s also a thank you from me.)”
“After all, you are the life god. Others can’t even see you~”
“... (That’s right~ The life god isn’t someone just anyone can easily meet~)”
“Don’t be sarcastic with him, or your grilled fish will be halved today.”
“... (Gardevoir! Little Princess! Look at him!)”
“Stop, stop, stop!”
Watching the two bickering, Xerneas smiled and accepted the macarons.
“Thank you very much for your gift. This is my return gift, and I’ll be leaving now.”
“Goodbye, Xerneas.”
“... (Bye-bye, old friend.)”
Xerneas once again disappeared into the mist, vanishing from everyone’s sight.
After Gui Ling returned, everyone crowded around him, asking questions.
“Gui Ling, you’ve actually met Xerneas too!”
“Why didn’t you catch her?!”
“It really is a Legendary Pokémon!”
“What an eye-opener! But I didn’t take a picture… Oh no! How could I forget!”
...
Ultimately, due to the search for Eureka, none of the three teams received points. However, seeing the life god and Death God, these two Legendary Pokémon, made everyone extremely excited today.
Except for Gui Ling, he was still examining the purple crystal Xerneas had given him before leaving. Under Diancie and Gardevoir’s verification, they found that this crystal contained a very powerful Fairy aura.
“Thank you, Xerneas.”
“I went to the comic convention today, let me see if I can post my cosplay in the discussion.”
“I won a figure for free! Although I don’t recognize it… My team leader said it seems to be Aki Hayakawa from Chainsaw Man? Let me see if anyone wants to buy it…”
