Chapter 215

The elves also eat the same food as humans.

After tasting it, they too wore expressions of happiness.

They looked very satisfied.

Seeing the elves' expressions, Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu's face seemed to soften and become more affectionate.

"If you like it, I can cook all the meals from now on,"

Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu said softly.

"Really?" Su Yu asked, very surprised.

"Then I'll trouble you. In return, I'll handle pitching the tents from now on."

Su Yu also took on some of Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu's tasks.

And Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu did not refuse.

Between the two of them, this was exactly how adventure partners should be.

Each had their own duties and goals.

After finishing the meal,

Su Yu lay down directly inside the tent.

He was scheduled for the night watch in the latter half of the night, so it was better to rest early.

As for Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu, she released her elves, including her Garchomp.

They kept watch over every movement in the surroundings.

Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu quietly gazed at the tent where Su Yu was, a flash of light passing through her eyes.

It was unknown what she was thinking about.

When the latter half of the night arrived, nothing else happened.

Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu woke Su Yu up to switch shifts.

Afterwards, she entered her own tent to rest.

Su Yu released his elves and also began keeping watch over the surroundings.

He looked at the already pitch-black sky, gazing at the starry expanse that still shimmered faintly above.

His heart was also filled with thoughts.

In many previous adventures, he had always been alone.

Although he had once gone to the Zhufeng Secret Realm with Cui Cui Hongzhi and the other two,

at that time, he was in a position of being taken care of.

This was the first time he had a true equal partner accompanying him.

"It feels quite nice,"

Su Yu thought as he looked at the myriad stars in the sky.

Early the next morning,

Su Yu woke the sleeping Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu.

After the two made slight preparations, they set off once again.

This time, the journey was extremely smooth.

Both Su Yu's and Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu's elves were at the quasi-Ace level.

Within an S-rank secret realm, this belonged to the top tier of strength.

In terms of both quantity and quality, they were far superior to wild elves.

Therefore, although many elves came to attack, the two of them dealt with them quite easily.

After another day of travel,

Su Yu and the other finally approached their destination.

However, this destination surprised Su Yu greatly.

This was because of the location of the coordinate point.

It was actually an abandoned stone city.

That such a ruined city existed within the desert

was also very unexpected.

Su Yu estimated that this was likely a city built by people several hundred years ago.

But now, it had been swallowed by wind and sand.

After exchanging a glance with Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu, the two stepped inside.

This city was extremely large, covering an area of several tens of thousands of square meters.

When people lived here, it must have been very prosperous.

Looking at the coordinate of the location in his hand, Su Yu walked directly toward a huge palace in the very center.

Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu followed quietly behind Su Yu the entire way.

She did not ask Su Yu why they had come here.

After all, Su Yu was very mysterious; he likely harbored tremendous secrets.

And these were secrets she was not meant to know.

Su Yu released his Blaziken.

Then, he arrived before the central palace.

Su Yu nodded toward Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu; both had their main Pokémon accompany them.

They arrived inside the Stone Hall.

Once Su Yu entered, he could observe the entire surroundings.

The Stone Hall was extremely spacious, covering nearly a thousand square meters.

Four massive stone pillars stood in the center.

Supporting the entire Stone Hall.

On the central walls of the hall were various murals.

Su Yu examined the scenes and recognized the depicted figure as the Creation God, Arceus.

Su Yu guessed this must be a shrine dedicated to Arceus.

In front of the murals stood a placed tray.

At this moment, the tray was completely empty.

Watching this scene, Su Yu fell silent.

The item mentioned in Lu Xin's letter was not here.

Su Yu walked around the shrine again, carefully searching every corner.

However, he discovered nothing unusual.

"Could it not be here?" Su Yu wondered, deeply puzzled.

The letter's contents clearly stated it was located here.

Su Yu once again fixed his gaze on the central tray.

He released his Gardevoir.

"Gardevoir, is there anything strange about this palace?"

Su Yu asked aloud.

Hearing this, Gardevoir closed her eyes and carefully sensed the surrounding energy.

A few minutes later, when Gardevoir opened her eyes, her voice resonated in Su Yu's mind.

"I sensed a faint trace of Psychic energy on the central tray, but the feeling was too ethereal; I am not entirely certain."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu nodded.

It seemed the key indeed lay with the tray.

Since he had come here for Deoxys,

then this time, the activation should also be performed by it.

Thus, Su Yu took from his pocket the gemstone containing the sleeping Deoxys.

He gently placed this gemstone onto the central tray.

In an instant, both Su Yu and Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu sensed it.

The entire stone hall seemed to surge with a current of air.

Then, from within the mural, a purple bead emerged.

159: A Dream Within the Stone City? A Dream in Pursuit?

This bead was nearly twenty centimeters in diameter.

It appeared exceptionally large.

Moreover, purple mist swirled within it.

It looked dreamlike and illusory.

"This bead contains powerful psychic energy!"

Gardevoir communicated to Su Yu via telepathy.

Hearing this, Su Yu nodded in confirmation.

This bead must be the item he had been seeking.

He just hadn't expected it to fall out from the mural.

It truly was a miraculous occurrence.

Su Yu stepped forward and took the bead into his hand.

【Mew Crystal: Contains potent psychic energy capable of significantly boosting the strength of Psychic-type Pokémon.】

Upon seeing the bead's name, Su Yu was immediately startled.

This was actually a crystal of Mew!?

Mew could be said to be the most miraculous Mythical Pokémon.

Possessing the genes of all Pokémon, it could transform into the form of any Pokémon.

Indeed, this trait placed it in a league of its own among all Pokémon.

However, just after this bead gently fell,

another figure slowly emerged from the mural.

She was entirely purple.

Her appearance resembled a small pink cat; her tail was about twice her body length, ending in an olive-shaped tip. Her large blue eyes were triangular.

Seeing this Pokémon, Su Yu displayed a look of surprise.

【Name: Mew (Psychic)】

【Gender: ♀】

【Level: LV. 00 (Deity)】

【Ability: Synchronize (Passes poison, paralysis, or burn status conditions inflicted on itself to the opponent.)】

【Potential: Mythical Deity (Can break through the level 100 limit)】

【IVs: HP (31), Attack (31), Sp. Atk (31), Defense (31), Sp. Def (31), Speed (31)】

【Moves: Amnesia, Psychic, Ancient Power... Hyper Beam, Mega Punch, Fire Spin】

【Description: Because it can use every move, many scholars believe it to be the ancestor of all Pokémon.】

Indeed, this purple figure was none other than Mew!

"Mew!"

After emerging from the mural, Mew cried out happily.

At this moment, both Su Yu and Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu noticed this purple Pokémon.

Su Yu was greatly surprised.

As for Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu, she was utterly stunned.

"Is this Mew!? The legendary progenitor of all Pokémon, a creature that exists only in legends!?"

Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu exclaimed in shock as she gazed at the petite Mew.

Hearing this, Su Yu's own shock gradually subsided.

"Yes, this Pokémon is indeed Mew!"

Su Yu never could have imagined that this expedition would lead to an encounter with Mew.

At this moment, Mew also overheard their conversation.

Thus, she turned her gaze toward the two of them.

After glancing briefly at Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu, Mew fixed her eyes on Su Yu.

"Mew!"

She detected an interesting scent emanating from Su Yu.

It seemed to be the aroma of many Legendary Pokémon she knew.

Therefore, Mew floated over to Su Yu's side.

"Su Yu!"

Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu looked at Su Yu with worry, seemingly afraid that Mew might suddenly attack.

After all, the emotions of such a legendary Pokémon were utterly unpredictable.

Seeing this, Su Yu raised his hand to stop Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu.

Logically speaking, Mew would not attack humans without cause.

Moreover, even if she did attack, given the situation of Su Yu and Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu, there would be no escape.

Therefore, it was better to remain calm and see what Mew intended to do.

At this moment, Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu also realized this point.

He stayed quietly to the side, watching Su Yu and Mew.

At this moment, Mew floated over to Su Yu and looked at the purple bead in her hand.

"Do you want this bead?" Su Yu asked upon seeing this. "I can return it to you."

If Mew wanted it, Su Yu would hand it over immediately.

After all, this was her own bead.

Hearing this, Mew shook her petite head and let out a soft cry.

"Mew!"

At this moment, Gardevoir beside them spoke to Su Yu via telepathy.

"Mew says she no longer needs this bead; it is her lost energy."

Su Yu nodded. "Then do you have any request, Mew?"

Mew flew up, crying out "Mew, mew, mew."

"She says her strength has not fully recovered yet, and she smells something interesting on you."

"So she wants to follow you, adventuring while recovering her power."

Gardevoir translated promptly.

"Hmm..." Su Yu fell into thought.

If what Mew said was true, did her Level 100 strength result from being damaged?

That would explain why her level was ten lower than Ho-Oh, the Level 110 Legendary Pokémon.

In that case, Su Yu could understand why Mew, the most special Mythical Pokémon, was only Level 100.

Moreover, Mew actually said she wanted to follow him out.

For an ordinary person, this would surely be met with joyful acceptance.

But Su Yu considered it very calmly.

After all, having a Legendary Pokémon follow along was indeed a tremendously powerful asset.

However, Mew would not obey his (ccdb) commands, so having her nearby was essentially like having a mascot.

After pondering for a while.

Su Yu still nodded, agreeing to Mew's request.

Since he had taken her energy bead, he essentially owed Mew a favor.

As long as she stayed by his side without causing major trouble, it didn't matter.

It was just like adding an extra bowl and chopsticks.
