Chapter 41 Gardevoir

Perhaps because of Milton, the climb was a bit more boring than Qin Zhen had imagined. The vegetation on the mountain wasn't lush, but bare, and there weren't many elves. Only a few Nyora could be seen occasionally, grazing on grass roots in the cold wind. It would have been better to pass by the small Lama Temple before climbing the mountain. At least there was a small white pagoda and prayer flags to see. Inside the temple, the Dharma baboons accompanied the monks in welcoming tourists.

"Bad Panda, how long will it take for us to see the Qingcheng Pavilion Master?"

The giant bear, who was climbing the mountain with supplies on his back, snorted and raised his notebook towards Qin Zhen without raising his head.

At this time, the sun had already set, and the last ray of afterglow was about to disappear. The light was dim, and the handwriting on the paper became difficult to distinguish, but Qin Zhen just took a quick glance and then looked away.

Because this was the third time he asked this question, and the giant bear used the same piece of paper to respond three times.

--Soon.

Qin Zhen sighed, took out his mobile phone, and first glanced at the voting results of the monarch snake. Very good, still first; then he opened the map software, which showed that their current altitude was infinitely close to 4500 meters.

Suddenly, light came from the front and illuminated Qin Zhen's face. Qin Zhen was stunned and raised his head facing the night wind. He found that the endless uphill slope in front of him was suddenly cut off, and a plateau appeared. Someone was standing under the dark blue night sky, with his right hand raised high. The beam of light from the strong flashlight was like a sword piercing the darkness.

Qin Zhen blinked and was about to call the giant bear, but the light in front of him suddenly disappeared, and even the figure standing on the edge of the plateau disappeared without a trace.

Where's the person? Did he fall down the mountain?

Qin Zhen was stunned. He turned to look at the giant bear beside him. Before he could shout "Help him!", ripples like water suddenly appeared in the air in front of him.

"Qin Zhen! Be careful!"

The Poké Ball opened, and Serpenti leaped out, sweeping a dark green whip shadow across, lashing at the ripples, trying to force back the thing that came out of it.

But this time, Teng Teng Snake missed. Her whip slid silently to the side, as if there was a piece of oil-coated glass in front of her eyes. The light of the flashlight hit her face. A black shadow strode out from the layers of ripples, grabbed Qin Zhen's hand, and shook it up and down with great force.

"Thank you for making this trip. Thank you for your hard work."

Qin Zhen stared at the man with wide eyes. Because the way he appeared was so cool, he guessed his identity at once.

"Teleportation? A person with super powers? Are you the Master of Qingcheng Pavilion?"

The other party was also stunned.

"Why is it a child?"

At this time, Qin Zhen finally saw the face of the Qingcheng Pavilion Master clearly. The other person's pupils were bright and his eyebrows were straight. It was an extremely handsome face.

………………

The owner of Qingcheng Pavilion is a handsome man, and when he smiles he has a brotherly sunshine.

This was Qin Zhen’s first impression.

Qin Zhen rode on Milton's back, gazing at the back of the Qingcheng Pavilion Master who was leading the way. He recalled the face he had seen a few seconds ago and the comments made by the aunt. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This doesn't look like someone with a problem with his lifestyle."

"Qin Zhen, what do you mean by 'problematic lifestyle'?" The vine snake huddled in Qin Zhen's jacket looked up. "Oh, that's a very broad accusation in our Donghuang." Qin Zhen scratched the back of his head, his synesthesia activated, his left eye changing color, and he and his elf started gossiping behind others' backs. "When someone likes to do things that are bad, but not particularly bad, you can say they have a problematic lifestyle."

"for example?"

"For example, they like to urinate and defecate anywhere, or they like to lie and cheat people, and they like to spend money lavishly."

"It sounds a bit shameful, but it doesn't seem like a particularly serious sin."

"No, there are some particularly serious ones." Qin Zhen thought for a moment and said, "For example, having an affair with someone else's husband or wife."

"I understand!" Vine Snake suddenly became serious. She nodded, drawing inferences from one instance to another. "Stupid dog and stupid lizard just have problems with their lifestyle!"

Qin Zhen was stunned. "What happened to them?"

"They're hitting on my trainer!"

"That's easy to understand." Qin Zhen gave a thumbs up. "But there's a problem, Snakebite, their trainer seems to be the same person as yours."

"Isn't that even more abominable? They actually managed to hook up! There's something seriously wrong with their lifestyle!"

"Nai~"

Suddenly, a gentle voice like that of a young girl was heard in the wind, as ethereal as a wisp of green smoke.

Qin Zhen was stunned and turned his head to follow the sound. He saw that ripples similar to the previous ones suddenly appeared beside the Qingcheng Pavilion Master, and a misty white shadow floated out from it.

"There's a female ghost!"

Qin Zhen was shocked and almost fell off Millerton's back.

The female ghost flew to behind Master Gu, put her arms around his waist, stood on tiptoe, and gave the man a light kiss on the side of his face.

Only then did Qin Zhen see the creature's true appearance: short, curly green hair, pomegranate-colored eyes, and a flowing, white, emerald green dress. It was clearly an elf, but its graceful demeanor and slender figure made it resemble that of a beautiful young girl.

Qin Zhen's eyes widened. He recognized this Pokémon—not a female ghost, but the dream lover of trainers all over the world, the famous Psychic Queen, Gardevoir!
At this time, Gardevoir slowly landed on the ground, looked at Qin Zhen curiously, and reached out to hold the arm of the Qingcheng Pavilion Master.

"Nai?"

The sunshine in the Qingcheng Pavilion Master's smile became even brighter. He turned sideways and kissed Gardevoir on the forehead as if no one was around, speaking in an intimate tone.

"Yes, Gardevoir, we have guests."

At this moment, Qin Zhen and Snake-Teng both exclaimed "Ah" in their minds at the same time, but Qin Zhen was simply surprised and suddenly enlightened. He suddenly understood the evaluation of the young aunt gym leader. As a trainer, he was in love with a Pokémon. Isn't this a problem with his lifestyle?
As for Teng Teng Snake, he was as ecstatic as if he had seen his snake mentor!

——There actually is a Pokémon in love with its trainer!
