Chapter 554

~11 min read 2,004 words

Although Miraidon had indeed gained a lot of weight during this period, at least there shouldn't be any big changes in speed.

Not long after setting off from Mesagoza, Xiang Qingyu returned to the Sunshine Gym with Mewtwo.

On a normal Tuesday, some challengers should come one after another in the afternoon.

However, because Xiang Qingyu had already posted a leave note that was "reasonable and confident," the students should have also spread this news.

Regardless of whether what is written above is correct, just say whether you saved the world!

If it weren't for Teacher Yu's thin skin and the fact that he still owed Adu quite a few favors, he should have had the thick skin to stay in Guandou and ask him for a banner, writing something like "Messenger of Justice" to hang back.

It is very common to send banners to the police, but have you brothers ever seen someone chasing after Officer Adu to ask for a banner?

After opening the door, Xiang Qingyu turned around and made a gesture of invitation to the person behind him.

"Mew~"

Mew nodded first, then flew into the room without any politeness, found a comfortable position on the sofa to lie down, and let out a comfortable breath.

"..."

Before Xiang Qingyu could say anything, Mewtwo reached out to support its forehead first, revealing embarrassment.

So the usual Mew is this kind of... not very serious appearance?

At this moment, Mewtwo suddenly realized—

Is there such a possibility.

Actually, it's not that Xiang Qingyu wants to be friends with Mew, but that Mew is clinging here and won't leave?

Watching the look of helplessness that flashed in Xiang Qingyu's eyes, Mewtwo suddenly discovered that it seemed to have guessed the truth.

"... Thank you for your hard work."

For some reason, Xiang Qingyu discovered that the look in Mewtwo's eyes looking at him suddenly became much softer, and at the same time, it took the initiative to reach out and pat his shoulder.

?

Its movements made Xiang Qingyu a bit confused for a while, but he didn't think much about it, and soon led Mewtwo into the interior of the Sunshine Gym.

"Since we are already home, let the Pokémon all come out to relax."

Xiang Qingyu looked at Mewtwo and made a suggestion, while also summoning the five Pokémon he brought out.

"Sable!"

The first thing Sableye did after appearing was to look around, soon discovered Bagon sleeping soundly on the sofa, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Sylveon walked up slowly, greeted Mew, who was waiting to watch the show with it, and then drilled into Xiang Qingyu's room, seemingly using its ribbons to find paper and pens, preparing to immediately draw the image of the black Rayquaza it saw again just now.

"Lucario..."

Seemingly because it felt strange aura in the Sunshine Gym, Lucario narrowed its eyes, and after confirming that it was Mewtwo and the few Poké Balls it carried, it breathed a sigh of relief immediately.

At the same time, its gaze also glanced at Mewtwo from time to time.

It's the type of Pokémon that can walk upright like itself.

That is to say...

Besides powerful psychic power, it should also be able to master close-quarters combat techniques like itself, right?

If it could be a partner for sparring with itself, that would be great.

Seemingly sensing Lucario's "dangerous" thoughts through a subtle connection, Xiang Qingyu's body trembled immediately, patted Lucario on the shoulder, and said earnestly:

"If you want to find a sparring Pokémon, you can ask Incineroar who is stationed in the gym!"

"The physique of Pokémon and Pokémon is different; Mewtwo is more suitable for specializing in psychic power and the trainer's cultivation; how can a trainer go down to hit people himself? Don't you think so?"

Are you kidding!

What if Mewtwo learns fighting techniques and finally evolves into a mega Mewtwo X that doesn't know any moves and whose psychic power regresses!

Then this Mewtwo wouldn't be raised to waste by himself, and Mew wouldn't laugh at him to death...

"Lucario!"

Lucario thought for two or three seconds before nodding emphatically.

Although it really wanted to refute a sentence...

Clearly, when fighting with that middle-aged trainer who was good at using earth power in the Guandou region, it saw with its own eyes that Xiang Qingyu went down to fight Sakaki.

But since the trainer said so, it was obviously already having his own plan, so it shouldn't do anything extra.

It really is the trainer; it turns out he has already thought of a training plan for Mewtwo?

So Lucario didn't struggle anymore and marched into the training hall, starting its daily practice.

"Ogerpon~"

In a non-combat state, Ogerpon without a mask looked just like a child, making people completely unable to guess how terrifying power it was hiding...

After greeting Xiang Qingyu, Ogerpon took a look at Mewtwo not far away, immediately hummed a little tune and walked out of the gym, put on the Wellspring Mask, and started its own leisurely farming life.

As for the last one, Miraidon...

One didn't need to think to know where it was now.

"What's wrong? Is there something on your mind?"

All his Pokémon had left, and even Mew had skillfully turned on the TV to watch the show, but Mewtwo was still standing still without any movement; Xiang Qingyu soon asked curiously.

"No, nothing..."

Mewtwo shook its head immediately.

Although it was suspicious of Xiang Qingyu at the beginning, feeling that he might be like other humans, just hypocritically expressing concern for Pokémon, but actually just trapping Pokémon with chains called "bonds," letting Pokémon's power be used for his own purposes...

But judging from the performance of these Pokémon in the gym, Mewtwo immediately realized how one-sided it was before.

Not only the Pokémon captured by Xiang Qingyu, but even other Pokémon that were just staying in the gym were living together happily with them, looking very happy.

This kind of special emotion could not be faked no matter what.

Mewtwo seemed to understand Mew's idea a bit; is it because of this reason that it wants itself to stay by Xiang Qingyu's side and slowly eliminate the prejudice against humans?

Thinking of this, the corners of Mewtwo's mouth rose slightly unconsciously.

"Come out, everyone."

Since it had already figured it out, Mewtwo didn't have any more concerns and released the few companions it had together.

"Squirtle!"

"Bulba!"

Seeing their "big sister," the cloned Pokémon led by Bulbasaur soon revealed smiles, stood in a circle around it, and let out light, cheerful cries from time to time.

Even for Mewtwo, who had always been a bit cold, the look in its eyes when facing them was much softer.

Seeing this, Xiang Qingyu nodded silently.

For Mewtwo, these Pokémon that left the Viridian Gym with it could also be considered its family, right?

Even the "counterattack version" of Mewtwo, which had great malice towards humans, was very good to the clones, and the biggest goal was even just to find a paradise where they could live together and stay away from humans.

Although his place might not count as a paradise, it should be barely enough to live.

As an official Paldea gym with complete facilities, although the Sunshine Gym didn't have a large area, it was more than enough to accommodate dozens of Pokémon to live.

So even if Mewtwo lived here for a while, for Xiang Qingyu, it was just a matter of preparing more ingredients.

Anyway, the cloned Pokémon were cultivated by Mewtwo itself; maybe in the future, Mewtwo could not only replace him to fulfill the duties of the Gym Leader but also master excellent cultivation skills, who knows?

Watching the interaction between Mewtwo and these Pokémon, Xiang Qingyu felt a bit gratified suddenly.

Since that's the case, let's have a big meal for a long time today!

Saying it's a big meal, it can't really be considered a big meal.

Xiang Qingyu knew relatively well how much his cooking ability was worth.

Therefore, he chose the safest path.

Order takeout!

The Pokémon world itself had a certain similarity to the world of his previous life, and with the development of mobile phone apps to the current degree as a premise, the appearance of takeout services was also a matter of course.

Moreover, the speed of Pokémon delivering meals was much faster than humans, and the efficiency was terrifying.

Half an hour later, the door of the Sunshine Gym was knocked.

"Coming!"

After Xiang Qingyu went to open the door immediately, what came into view was an Indeedee sister he seemed to be a bit familiar with, and a huge delivery bag that it had to lift with both hands.

"Indeedee!"

The female Indeedee revealed a sweet smile, and after handing the heavy takeout to Xiang Qingyu, it breathed a sigh of relief and waved at him.

For this Indeedee, Xiang Qingyu had a bit of an impression.

After all, he hadn't tasted most of the food shops in Mesagoza, only the Top Fresh Restaurant he had been to with Cynthia and Caitlin left a deep impression on him.

Paldea's seafood cuisine is indeed a must; let Mewtwo and the others taste it together.

However...

Didn't expect this Indeedee sister who served as a waiter to also work as a delivery person at the same time?

For Indeedee, whose physical strength and power were not outstanding, would the burden be a bit heavy?

"Thank you for your hard work..."

Xiang Qingyu sighed secretly, and at the same time took out a few energy blocks from his pocket.

Wanting to survive in human society, sometimes it should also be very hard, right?

After all, not all humans are good people, even in Paldea it is the same.

So...

Even if it was just a chance encounter, Xiang Qingyu thought that he should at least send a little warmth to this Indeedee sister.

"As a thank you, take these; consider it a sharing of good luck."

"Indeedee..."

Seemingly a bit surprised by Xiang Qingyu's move, Indeedee spoke in surprise subconsciously, but after glancing at Xiang Qingyu's gentle eyes, it soon revealed a sweet smile again.

Met a good person today!

After waving goodbye to Indeedee and watching it ride on Cyclizar and walk away soon, Xiang Qingyu then closed the door.

"Time to eat!"

After retrieving the keyword, the Pokémon in the gym soon gathered in the living room running.

The most active one was naturally Miraidon; as early as when it noticed the delivery Indeedee appear, Miraidon, who was lying outside, had already returned to the gym first, starting to wait quietly for Xiang Qingyu to give the order.

With the Pokémon borrowed as "human-machine difficulty" choices, as well as Mewtwo and the cloned Pokémon coming to the gym, the Sunshine Gym became more and more lively.

Even when the gym was built, it should have considered the growth of the number of Pokémon, so the living room of the Sunshine Gym left enough space, but now it seems a bit narrow.

However, everyone squeezing together is also lively.

Watching the Pokémon sitting in a circle, Xiang Qingyu soon revealed a smile and took out his phone to take a photo.

"Then, let's eat!"

"Gao!"

Miraidon, who usually couldn't raise any motivation at all, responded most actively at this time, signaling Xiang Qingyu to help it pick some dishes with its eyes.

Eating at the table, for some Pokémon without flexible arms, seems to be quite torturous...

Looking at Miraidon, who obviously showed anxiety and felt like it would starve to death if it was one second late, and watching Sylveon, who easily took food with ribbons, and Ogerpon, who had already started grabbing pizza with Lucario with its eyes on the other side, Xiang Qingyu smiled helplessly.

His own Pokémon were already accustomed to this kind of happy life, so overall it was still considered friendly.
