Chapter 119

"Uncle Hong, I obtained a Pokémon, but I don't know how best to use it," Su Yu said.

"Oh!?" A spark of curiosity ignited in Hong Wu's heart; Su Yu was someone who already possessed a quasi-deity, yet now claimed ignorance on how to handle a new Pokémon.

Could this Pokémon be even rarer than a quasi-deity!

Hong Wu's heart filled with anticipation!

"Then let me see the Pokémon," Hong Wu said.

Su Yu nodded and tossed out a Poké Ball.

Immediately, a bird entirely ice-blue in color appeared; the moment she materialized, the surrounding temperature plummeted significantly.

The ground beneath seemed poised to freeze into solid ice.

It was none other than Articuno!

Hong Wu, viewing the Pokémon through Su Yu's phone, saw his expression shift instantly from curiosity to sheer shock!

"It's actually the legendary Pokémon Articuno!!" Hong Wu exclaimed in astonishment.

This was a legendary Pokémon! Even he, an Elite Four member, had rarely encountered such creatures!

Yet Su Yu had actually managed to capture one!!

"That's right, Uncle Hong. While I was in the Zhufeng Secret Realm, I happened upon a newly hatched Articuno. She said she wanted to follow me, so I captured her," Su Yu explained.

"Hiss..." Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Hong Wu felt nothing but sour envy gnawing at him.

He went on a single trip to a secret realm and found a legendary Pokémon, and a newly born one at that.

What kind of terrifying luck was this!?

"But I'm afraid that if I bring her out, some evil organizations might attack..." Su Yu voiced his concerns.

Hearing this, Hong Wu recovered from his shock.

He laughed heartily, "Actually, you are overthinking it!"

"Why?" Su Yu asked. "Aren't legendary Pokémon extremely rare?"

Hong Wu smiled and nodded, "Legendary Pokémon are indeed very rare, that is true. However, a human possessing one is not as dangerous as you imagine."

"First, legendary Pokémon actually cannot be bound by Poké Balls; you should be very clear on this point, right?"

Su Yu nodded; he had indeed discovered this fact himself.

"Therefore, trying to capture a legendary Pokémon by attacking its trainer is utterly useless, so you need not worry at all."

"Furthermore, humans do not dare to act rashly against legendary Pokémon. Even some evil organizations operate according to the rules governing these creatures," Hong Wu explained slowly. "Over the years, the entire world has reached a conclusion: capturing a legendary Pokémon is impossible; the only possible relationship between us is one of cooperation."

"There are many evil organizations in our world; their desire to obtain legendary Pokémon is merely a hope to gain their approval. Thus, they perform grand deeds they believe will please these creatures."

"Moreover, the targets of these organizations are always established legendary Pokémon of divine-level strength; they do not casually act against newly born ones."

"There are two reasons for this. First, newly born legendary Pokémon have very long growth periods. Although they are deities, they still need to mature gradually; only after reaching full maturity do they possess the power to destroy heaven and earth. However, these organizations cannot afford to wait, nor do they wish to."

"Second, if a newly born legendary Pokémon has not approved of you and is forcibly captured, the legendary Pokémon will rely on their unique methods of communication to seek help from their kin."

"In other words, even if someone steals your Articuno, as long as your Articuno calls upon her companions, those thieves will be torn to shreds by the arriving flock of Articunos."

"A century ago, a small nation attempted to tamper with the power of a legendary Pokémon and was consequently erased from the face of the earth."

"Since then, nations have signed accords agreeing never to forcibly capture the young of legendary Pokémon."

After finishing his explanation, Hong Wu smiled, "So you need not worry about Articuno, though it is still best not to reveal her too early."

"After all, we cannot guarantee that everyone possesses normal intelligence. If someone is willing to die just to try, there is little we can do about it, is there?"

"Moreover, within our Xia Nation, we will guarantee your personal safety. As the proponent of Mega Evolution, the League will assign personnel to protect you."

After hearing Hong Wu's explanation, Su Yu largely understood the situation.

Evil organizations targeted legendary Pokémon that already held divine offices, attempting to seize their power.

Juvenile legendary Pokémon were useless to them and might even provoke the wrath of the deities behind them.

Therefore, no one would choose to steal a young legendary Pokémon, as it held no meaning for them.

They sought to acquire powerful legendary Pokémon, not to enrage them and perish together in mutual destruction.

Those who would attempt to steal were mostly ordinary people blinded by envy.

Thus, even if Su Yu revealed Articuno, it would be fine; those with true strength understood the relationship between legendary Pokémon and trainers.

They would not expend great effort to seize something they could never truly obtain.

Of course, Su Yu himself needed to remain low-key; without sufficient strength, he could not be too conspicuous.

Furthermore, the growth of a legendary Pokémon was exceedingly difficult; this was precisely why Articuno had agreed to follow him only after learning he could rapidly enhance her strength.

Having clarified everything, Su Yu set his worries aside.

Since Hong Wu had spoken thus, Su Yu could now proceed to train Articuno.

"Uncle Hong, with Articuno, I feel confident that I can win the championship in next March's University League," Su Yu stated.

"So you intend to take first place as soon as you compete next year?" Hong Wu had long suspected this intention of Su Yu's.

Of course, Su Yu himself needed to keep a low profile; without sufficient strength, one could not be too conspicuous.

"Very well, I support your full-force assault on the championship position," Hong Wu said, seeing Su Yu's determination.

After sorting everything out, Su Yu set those thoughts aside.

Since Hong Wu had said so, Su Yu could now begin training the Articuno.

"Uncle Hong, with the Articuno, I feel confident I can win the championship at next March's University League," Su Yu said.

Su Yu spoke these words.

"So you intend to claim first place as soon as you compete next year?" Hong Wu had long suspected this intention of Su Yu's.

Su Yu nodded.

"Very well, I support you in going all out to seize the championship."

Seeing Su Yu's determination, Hong Wu spoke thus.

"Wait a moment; I will send you all the experience I have comprehended over these many years. As for which parts you wish to study, you must decide that yourself."

As Su Yu's half-teacher, he naturally supported Su Yu's decision!

Moreover, he would not interfere excessively with Su Yu's choices.

Nevertheless, he decided to give Su Yu a hand. Previously, he had intended to wait until Su Yu had laid a solid foundation before teaching him certain things.

But now that Su Yu's growth speed had exceeded his expectations, Hong Wu also decided to impart his own experience to Su Yu.

"Then I won't chat further. You just emerged from the secret realm, so you should rest early."

Having said this, Hong Wu hung up the phone.

Not long after, a confidential document arrived on Su Yu's mobile phone.

After entering the password, the contents were naturally the Heavenly King's experience that Hong Wu had mentioned!

Lying on the bed with nothing else to do, Su Yu began reading while resting.

As he read on, Su Yu discovered that this was indeed a manual of the Heavenly King's experience!

Whether regarding the nurturing of spirits or their daily training, everything was introduced with great comprehensiveness.

It could be said that most aspects concerning spirits were covered within this manual.

For instance, theories regarding shaping a spirit's appearance and fostering appropriate development of specific body parts to strengthen a spirit's advantages left Su Yu utterly amazed.

In any world, those capable of reaching the pinnacle are rarely simple individuals.

Su Yu continued reading the manual inside the room.

Early the next morning, the four of them checked out of their rooms and arrived at the airport ahead of schedule.

After taking a flight and then a taxi, the four of them, including Su Yu, returned to Tianyun University.

"This is where we part ways. Good luck, Junior Su Yu. I believe that in the future, you will definitely win the championship for Tianyun University!"

Cui Cui Hongda stood at the university gate and spoke directly.

Lin Rui and Zhuo Zhuo Xingchang both nodded in agreement.

After experiencing the Zhufeng Secret Realm alongside Su Yu, the two of them likewise believed in Su Yu's strength!

"Farewell, Seniors." Su Yu waved to Cui Cui Hongda and the others as they walked away, then hurried back to the dormitory.

"Dan!!" Before even entering the door, Su Yu heard cries emanating from inside the dorm, along with other wails of agony.

Curious, he pushed open the door. "What happened?"

At that moment, the three people inside the dorm were gathered around a Deino, seemingly engaged in some activity.

Meanwhile, the Deino had its mouth wide open, biting onto one of the desks and gnawing frantically.

Upon seeing Su Yu, Yu Xing immediately pounced over.

Clutching a handful of tears, he lamented.

"Su Yu, you're finally back! This Deino is far too mischievous; it keeps gnawing on everything and nearly chewed up the dormitory beds."
