Chapter 528

February 7th, Saturday.

When Qingyu was sleeping soundly, he suddenly felt a fluffy touch on his face, so he opened his sleepy eyes in confusion.

"Mew~"

The pink little cat floating in the air in front of him was covering its mouth and giggling; a slender tail extending from below hung down naturally, its tip swinging up and down with its little movements, touching his face from time to time.

"……"

Qingyu reached out directly, wanting to grab this mischievous "old guy," but was dodged by its light mid-air backflip, and then it laughed "Mew-mew-mew" again.

In this regard, Qingyu was a bit speechless.

He should have known to let this guy wait two days before coming to the Sunny Gym to find him.

Because he was going to set off for Kanto in a few days to cooperate with the International Police led by Lance to kill into the Viridian Gym, Qingyu simply invited Mew to stay in the Sunny Gym for a few days.

And this little guy obviously didn't treat himself as an outsider; he came up and gave himself a set of "wake-up service."

"Eevee~"

The laughter made by Mew quickly made Sylveon, who was sleeping in the corner, raise its head, but after seeing its good friend appear in the room, it immediately made a friendly greeting sound with surprise.

"Mew~"

The two little pink guys quickly played together; as for Qingyu, who was woken up by Mew and sat on the bed, he could only smile helplessly.

"This guy, why does it feel like it's more adapted to this home than I am..."

Now I've become the redundant one instead?

Qingyu thought about it, but finally decided to let his room temporarily to these two cute little guys to chat, and he went out to wash up first and prepare breakfast.

No way, Mew is mischievous, but it is cute; absolutely no human doesn't like such a little guy.

Walking out of the room, simply washing up, and letting himself become the handsome and elegant "Teacher Yu" in the eyes of students again, Qingyu walked into the living room.

"Ying~"

After finding the target, Bagon ran over quickly, but before it was about to hit Qingyu's calf, it was skillfully held up by him with a scoop from the bottom of the sea.

The speed was so fast that even Bagon itself didn't react, and it took half a day to find that its two feet seemed to have left the ground, and then it raised its head with dazed big eyes, facing Qingyu's triumphant expression.

Nothing else, just familiar with the hand.

Since this little guy became a member of this big family of the Sunny Gym, his anti-gank awareness has almost been brushed to the full level.

You never know which corner a Bagon will refresh in, and it will give you a headbutt coldly.

But Teacher Yu knows!

"Jia!"

After Sableye saw this scene, it quickly walked over, took the initiative to solve the worries for Qingyu, struggled to hold Bagon to its nest, and made faces to make it happy.

On the battle field, this Sableye is absolutely a nightmare in the hearts of countless students, because it knows too many moves; even if its strength is not very strong, it can use various quality moves, making many trainers break their defenses on the spot.

But in normal times, this Sableye with the Prankster Ability doesn't have any prank ideas, but instead cares very much about this newborn Bagon.

In this regard, Qingyu was happy to see it.

Although Dark-type Pokémon generally prefer pranks, especially Sableye, which often haunts underground and likes to scare people.

But the general situation of Pokémon is actually not so applicable to individuals.

Since there are those who like to prank other creatures, there will naturally be other individuals with more love.

Sableye's performance also made Qingyu understand a truth—

It is best not to look at any Pokémon with colored glasses with prejudice.

After Qingyu sighed, he was about to enter the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the Pokémon at home.

Just at this time, a rhythmic knock on the door suddenly sounded outside.

"Coming!"

Although it was Saturday, the rest day stipulated by the Gym, Qingyu didn't think much, only thinking that it was a student from Naranja Academy who got the time wrong. After responding, he stepped forward to open the door.

However, the person standing outside was not a student Qingyu was familiar with, but an elderly man with white hair, wearing a pure black suit and behaving elegantly.

Qingyu can be sure that he should not have seen him before.

Otherwise, with such iconic features, he would definitely not forget.

"Hello, Mr. Qingyu."

After seeing Qingyu, the old man quickly bowed to him.

"I am the butler of the Stone family, entrusted by the eldest young master to present a thank-you gift to Mr. Qingyu."

"Stone?"

Qingyu read it along, and quickly reacted.

"Steven?"

Good fellow, it turns out to be Steven.

Steven, full name Steven Stone, the eldest young master of the Devon Corporation.

This surname Stone has a lot to say; besides Steven, there is his old man, Joseph Stone, the whole family is a fossil + mineral fanatic.

It is said that the creation of the Devon Corporation also has something to do with the old man digging for mines everywhere.

Before, by coincidence, he and Steven did have a short trip and witnessed the outrageous love between two Paradox Pokémon...

When saying goodbye, Steven seemed to have said he would send someone to give him a gift, and it would likely be Lucario's Mega Stone.

However, two weeks have passed, and Qingyu has almost forgotten about this.

"Yes."

The butler nodded.

After speaking, he quickly took out a gift box from behind and handed it to Qingyu.

"Because the eldest young master specifically told me that Mr. Qingyu is his good friend, so he spent more time preparing it carefully, which delayed it for so long."

"Since the eldest young master's thank-you gift has been presented, then I will take my leave first."

The butler, who came like the wind, left dashingly again, leaving only Qingyu standing at the door.

"Having a butler at home seems quite handsome too?"

However, this is not the point!

Qingyu's gaze quickly turned to the gift box in his hand.

After returning to the living room, he sat on the sofa and quickly unpacked the exquisitely packaged gift box.

Sure enough, two circular gems with the same shape but a few differences in color were lying quietly in the packaging box.

Inside, there was also a note that seemed to be written by Steven.

【To Teacher Yu: I was very happy with our trip together last time; I hope there will be an opportunity to explore with Teacher Yu in the Hoenn region next time~】

"……"

Qingyu raised an eyebrow.

To say the most unprofessional champion, I feel that Steven recognizes the second, and no one dares to recognize the first; even Cynthia has to rank behind.

Although he is absolutely the most reliable in desperation, but don't ask how he got into desperation.

It seems he has already left Paldea and returned to Hoenn?

After Qingyu thought about it, he took out the two Mega Stones from the box and placed them in his palm.

Among the four special phenomena known in the Pokémon world, he seems to have gathered three.

The Tera Orb standard for Paldea Gym Leaders;

The Z-Crystal that is temporarily useless after Eevee evolves;

And the combination necessary for using Mega Evolution that he has in his hand now.

As for the Dynamax Band he hasn't obtained yet, it is a unique prop in the Galar region; even if he gets it, he can't use it in other regions.

Theoretically, there is actually a unique "Bond Phenomenon," but this thing is no different from opening a hang, so Qingyu didn't take it into account.

In Qingyu's hand, the one that is colorful overall and has a pattern in the center is the Key Stone, and the one that is transparent with two spiral patterns of different colors and looks more weighty is the Mega Stone.

Two seemingly ordinary props, when combined, can exert the magical power called "Mega Evolution."

"Being able to give away such precious Mega Stones casually, only Steven, who has a mine at home, can do it..."

Qingyu couldn't help but sigh.

Research on Mega Stones so far shows that the special energy residing in these stones is likely from the universe unknown to humans, and generally only meteorites will bring a small amount of Mega Stones and Key Stones to Earth.

Therefore, the output of this thing is quite limited, basically relying on digging.
