Chapter 1221

Call me Queen My Lord: "Who are you? Magicians?"

The Hero Out of Interest: "You're speaking inside my head—aren't you weirdos?"

Pikachu: "Pika pika (Are you Pokémon Trainers or Pokémon?)"

Su Xiao: "Wow, it's Pikachu! I really want one!"

Yotsuya Miko: "Me too! I want one too!"

Hina Tsuru: "+1, Pikachu is so cute!"

Miyamizu Miko: "+1"

Amane Tenno: "Won't this scare Pikachu?"

Pikachu: "Do you all want to become Trainers?"

Miyamizu Miko: "No, we just want a cute Pokémon."

Pikachu: "."

Call me Queen My Lord: "Pokémon? Are they familiars?"

Xiao Mai: "Familiars? I think I've heard of them."

Su Xiao: "That's an old anime. 【The Familiar of Zero】 By the way, are you from this world?"

Call me Queen My Lord: "The Familiar of Zero?"

Xiao Mai: "You could watch it—maybe it'll resolve your doubts."

Su Xiao: "The Hero Out of Interest—is that Teacher Saitama?"

The Hero Out of Interest: "You know me?"

Xiao Mai: "Of course I do. Bald Cape Hero!"

Saitama: "Bald?! That's rude!"

Xiao Mai: "But after you joined the Hero Association, your hero name became that."

Saitama: "Hero Association? What's that? Why did I join?"

Su Xiao: "Don't you know about the Hero Association yet? Joining gets you money. Then you won't have to only pick discounted groceries."

Saitama: "Money? I'll go check it out."

Xiao Mai: "Even if the Hero Association still calls you Bald Cape Hero?"

Saitama: "That doesn't matter!"

Hu Yifei: "Indeed, even heroes bow before money."

Anrietta: "So this is Louise's story?"

Xiao Mai: "Huh, you're the Queen whose fiancé died!"

Anrietta: "."

Hu Yifei: "Has Xiao Mai picked up bad habits from Xiao? That's so rude to say."

Xiao Mai: "Sorry."

Su Xiao: "Why am I being dragged into this?"

Anrietta: "It's fine. I haven't even met that person yet. I'm still just a Princess."

Anrietta: "Will the events shown in that story really happen in the future?"

Su Xiao: "Not necessarily, but it can serve as a reference. After all, one world is too vast for any novel to fully record."

Anrietta: "I see. Thank you all. Are you all magicians?"

Su Xiao: "No, we are Cultivators."

Anrietta: "Cultivators?"

Su Xiao: "【Video】 Cultivators can achieve immortality, reverse rivers and seas, and create worlds. Far stronger than the magicians you know."

Hu Yifei: "No, some worlds' magicians are equally terrifying. It's just that in your world, magicians are relatively weak."

Anrietta: "Cultivators are that strong?! In that video, a mere wave of the hand shattered a mountain range—how incredible!"

Anrietta: "Even magicians can do that?"

Xiao Yan: "That's only low-level power in the video. Higher-level power is beyond your comprehension—even if filmed."

Anrietta: "That's still low-level power?"

Xiao Yan: "Correct. And you shouldn't look down on magicians—after all, strength lies in the person, not the system. Even the magic system can reach eternal, world-destroying levels."

Anrietta: "Strength lies in the person?! That makes sense!"

Pikachu: "Cultivators? They seem stronger than Trainers—and even some Pokémon."

Xiao Mai: "Hehe, Pikachu, can you help us catch a Pokémon? I want Pikachu!"

Xiao Mai: "Hehe, Pikachu, can you help me catch a Pokémon? I want Pikachu!"

Pikachu: "You're not Trainers—why do you want to catch Pokémon?"

Su Xiao: "We can raise them as companions."

Xiao Mai: "Exactly. Raising a Pokémon is super fun!"

Pikachu: "I'll ask Ash."

Hu Yifei: "Hey, aren't you Pikachu from Ash's side?"

Hu Yifei: "Huh, are you the Pikachu beside Xiao Zhi?"

Su Xiao: "Aaaah, this is my childhood!"

Xiao Mai: "Don't freak out. Ash won't give his Pikachu to you."

Su Xiao: "I'm just a little sad. I'd never take something someone else loves."

Su Xiao: "It's just a bit regrettable. I would never take what someone else wants."

Anlieta: "What is this Pikachu?"

Su Xiao: "【Pokémon】Just look at this and you'll understand."

Anlieta: "Does he have a story too?"

Xiaomai: "Sort of."

Pikachu: "Xiao Zhi said we can give everyone Pokémon. But everyone must promise not to harm the Pokémon, or use them to harm other humans."

Su Xiao: "Great! No problem."

Xiaomai: "I'm in too. We can form a contract, guaranteed by the chat group—then Xiao Zhi and Pikachu will both feel at ease."

Hu Yifei: "Exactly."

Li Er: "But if it's like this, Pokémon have no strategic value—they can only be kept as pets."

Li Shimin: "This also protects the interests of the heroes. Letting Pokémon be stained with blood would be... unseemly."
