“Hmm, a new update at 4:22. My mind’s a bit jumbled. Your author has gone to sleep.”
Splash, Splash…
In a compartment in the basement, Gui Ling awoke from a simple bed. After turning on the light, he touched the cocoon of destruction beside him, then took out his belt and activated his Poké Balls.
“Good morning, Gui Ling~”
“Good morning, Princess. Yveltal hasn’t woken up yet, don’t disturb it.”
Diancie shook her head, then quickly pulled Gui Ling’s hand and walked out.
“Gui Ling, it’s been so long… I still want to eat grilled fish!”
“For breakfast?”
“It used to be like that, didn’t it~”
………………
“It’s raining again. Every time it rains, I think of that night.”
Pushing open the wooden door, wet from the rain, Gui Ling found a black bamboo hat, put it on, and slowly walked into the rain.
“It’s raining today, so the fish should be active. It’s a good time for fishing.”
………………
“47, 48, 49… just one more and it’ll be 50. Let’s keep going.”
As the fishing rod twitched, the last fish was reeled in. Gui Ling picked up the fish basket and walked straight into the wooden house.
Knock knock knock…
After a while, the wooden house slowly opened. Diancie took the fish basket from Gui Ling’s hand and walked towards the kitchen.
“Let me help you. I’ve learned a lot of dishes recently.”
“No need to trouble you, just sit there. To be honest, I’ve only ever made grilled fish. I’ve never made braised fish before, so I’ll try it today.”
As he spoke, Gui Ling picked up a frying pan from the side, but his other hand was held by Diancie’s small hand.
“What’s wrong?”
………………
Diancie looked at Gui Ling in front of her and shook her head, while also helping to fasten the buttons on Gui Ling’s pajamas.
“You’ve been too tired recently, and… you haven’t really played with us these past few days.”
………………
It was only then that Gui Ling belatedly realized that ever since he started dealing with his Family’s Pokémon, up until the start of the Eight Masters Tournament, and then the adventures on this journey, he seemed to have neglected his Family too much.
Seeing Diancie’s two small gray hands holding his fingers, Gui Ling pondered for a moment, then squatted down and patted Diancie’s head.
“You’re right. I seem to have been busy with these things all along and forgotten everything from the beginning.”
Diancie’s eyes instantly lit up. She curtsied like a princess and then hugged Gui Ling.
“Then~ my dear Trainer, will you join us for breakfast?”
“Of course.”
The wooden house wasn’t large. After preparing the meal, Gui Ling, just like half a year ago, spread a mat under the shade of a tree outside, placed the food on it, and ate with everyone.
Seeing more and more Family members by his side, Gui Ling was very happy, but also a little confused.
He didn’t know… if he could treat everyone equally?
………………
“It’s 12 PM. Shouldn’t it be time to get up?”
This golden Yin Xing forest seemed to take the Pokémon back to their previous home. This time, Gui Ling released all the Pokémon except for Lugia and the others, letting everyone play outside.
Meanwhile, Gui Ling returned to the small room in the basement, came before the cocoon of destruction, and opened the freshly heated meal.
“It was the same before. By the time you woke up to eat, the food would be cold. I always had to heat up the food for you. I have to say, the microwave is a good thing.”
The cocoon of destruction wiggled slightly. Yveltal spread its wings, rubbed its eyes, and then took the grilled fish Gui Ling offered with its mouth.
“Not doing your experiments anymore?”
“Not doing them. I’ve been a bit busy lately. I’ll just play with you all properly.”
Yveltal nodded, then lay on the ground and spread its wings. Gui Ling leaned against Yveltal’s neck.
“Actually, everyone understands you’re busy and haven’t disturbed you, but we still miss your carefree self from before.”
“Indeed, it feels like I’ve been here for a long time, and I’ve almost forgotten my initial intention…”
“It’s good that you’ve thought about it. The Eight Masters Tournament is about to begin. When will you take us to see the world again?”
Gui Ling smiled and flicked Yveltal’s head.
“Don’t think I don’t know you told Yin Xing beforehand.”
“You knew that?”
“No rush for now. We agreed to play together, so no need to find Trainers to improve our ranking yet.”
“I suggest you be a bit more serious. There are only a few days left.”
Gui Ling raised an eyebrow, leaning back relaxedly on Yveltal’s neck and smiling.
“If I’m not mistaken, Yin Xing has probably already found an opponent for me, ranked eighth.”
“You don’t want to fight for first place?”
“No, to be honest, I want to challenge all the Champions in every region.”
“In your eyes, it’s no different than a fish-frying session.”
The two of them confided in each other in this small room. This scene seemed to have replayed many times, from their initial meeting to their current growth.
………………
“You two are still awake? It’s been two days, hasn’t it? Won’t you collapse from exhaustion?”
After organizing all his Pokémon, Gui Ling came to a massive instrument, where Yin Xing and Ruo Xi were busy with their respective tasks, but the dark circles under their eyes and their fatigue were increasingly evident.
“At least the results are good.”
Ruo Xi stretched, looking at the dozens of Poké Balls in front of the instrument and laughing.
“Now I’m not only their Trainer, but also the leader of their Family! I originally thought of relying on their mythical Pokémon power to help me find Mew, but I didn’t expect this result to exceed my expectations!”
“There should still be unhatched larvae, right? If these Genesect can keep reproducing, you’ll probably have hundreds of Genesect under your command.”
“Hehe, the Bug Elite title should be given to me now, right?!”
“Dream on. Go to sleep quickly.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruo Zhe threw a Poké Ball to Gui Ling.
“Here, the Dreepy that hatched from that Pokémon egg. It took me a long time to catch it.”
“Thanks.”
Yin Xing heard footsteps behind him, preparing to leave. He took off his glasses, rubbed his face, and immediately called out to Gui Ling.
“Wait a moment, I’ve arranged someone for you.”
“What?”
“I’ve already collected the Ceruledge data and sent it to you via private message. Oh, and if you can, call this number recently. Someone wants to challenge you.”
“Who?”
“Alan, currently ranked seventh. If you defeat him, you can enter the Eight Masters Tournament knockout rounds.”
“Alright, as expected of the Electric Elite.”
“We two also need to rest quickly. If we don’t, our bodies won’t be able to handle it. Let’s go, Ruo Zhe, go to sleep quickly.”
“Hoo hoo hoo…”
“??? Don’t drool on the instrument!!!”
Temporarily bidding farewell to Yin Xing and Ruo Xi, Gui Ling embarked on his journey to the Eight Masters Tournament once again. He still went to the supermarket to buy in bulk as he did at the very beginning, purchasing a lot of food, survival tools, and newly released Energy Cubes.
Looking at the colorful cubes in his hand, Gui Ling couldn’t help but complain, why couldn’t Trainers eat these things?
“Yveltal (Bond Evolution)
Attribute: Dark, Flying
Ability: Dark Aura Enhanced (All Dark-type moves are significantly boosted. Within the aura’s range, it can continuously restore its own status by absorbing all surrounding life force.)
Bond Transformation (When an opponent is defeated, the bond with the Trainer will strengthen. When transforming into the Bond Evolution form, the power of the Death Wing move will be enhanced.)
Beyond Life and Death (A powerful bond allows the Death God, who takes life, to bestow blessings, while also leading oneself towards a bright future. Within the Dark Aura, the power of its own and allied Pokémon’s primary attributes is increased, and it continuously restores its own HP by absorbing the enemy Pokémon’s life force. When HP is depleted, it can restore half of its HP again, and healing effects are improved.)
HP: 150
Physical Attack: 233
Physical Defense: 105
Special Attack: 233
Special Defense: 104
Speed: 140
Base Stats: 965
Appearance Description: A human silhouette appears in the black mist. When the mist disperses, a young man with clothes the same color as Yveltal appears. The red wings behind him are still recognizable, indicating that this is the terrifying Death God. However, his appearance… is very much like his Trainer, seemingly due to the influence of the bond ability, making his human form resemble the person he trusts most.”
