Pokémon: Master System.

“Hmm.” Xiao Wanyu nodded: “Su Chengyan’s temperament became very strange in his later years. The wives he married later were pitiful. It is said that they were all young women in love. He liked to use money and material conditions to lure those young women, break them up, and watch the men suffer and despair in the end.”

"So...perverted?" Xia Yu said, holding Xiao Wanyu.

"Yes. It was for this reason that, besides Su Chengyan's legal wife, I and his other wives all moved out of the Su family. Su Chengyan didn't make things too difficult for us because of my sister and Mu Zi."

Chapter 498 The Fall of the Qi Family

Two days later.

"I'm going back to the capital." Xia Yu looked at Xiao Wanyu with a hint of reluctance in his eyes and said softly, "I'll come to see you after I finish what I'm doing. I plan to go to the South China Sea to make a deal with Champion Maye in the near future."

"So rushed? Why don't you wait a bit longer and come help me once my condition stabilizes?" Xiao Wanyu said to Xia Yu.

"Forget it, your body isn't suited for high-intensity combat right now." Xia Yu waved his hand and looked at Xiao Wanyu, saying, "Just rest assured and relax, I can handle it."

“Then take Gigantamax Brimwyn with you.” Xiao Wanyu looked at Xia Yu and said, “Meyer is not an ordinary champion. He is a veteran champion of the British Empire. He has been famous for many years and is very strong. I will feel at ease if you take Gigantamax Brimwyn with you. Besides, Gigantamax Brimwyn is useless to me.”

"No need. You can keep it. I'll call Old Liu back later, and he should be fine with the Gigantamax Hairy Troll." Xia Yu said with a smile, "Oh, by the way, this is for you."

As Xia Yu spoke, she took out a Pokémon egg and handed it to Xiao Wanyu: "This Pokémon egg is a gift from me to the child."

Xiao Wanyu's gaze fell on the Pokémon egg, carefully examining the patterns on it, and she said softly, "This... is a Beldum Pokémon egg? Where did you get it?"

"I have a brilliant plan." Xia Yu's face showed a hint of smugness.

"Forget it, the baby hasn't even been born yet. You can keep this iron dumbbell; it will enhance your strength." Xiao Wanyu waved her hand, refusing Xia Yu's offer.

It's better for Xia Yu to keep this pseudo-legendary Pokémon egg for himself.

"No way, I still have quite a few Iron Dumbbells, Metallica, and Metagross, about twenty in total. I already have a Metagross."

Upon hearing Xia Yu's words, Xiao Wanyu covered her mouth, her face showing shock, and looked at Xia Yu, asking, "Where...did you get this?"

"Ahem." Xia Yu said in a low voice, "The source is not important. The key is that they are ours now. I'm thinking about how to put them away. Once they're settled, I'll give you one. One for you and one for your daughter."

Hearing Xia Yu say this, Xiao Wanyu no longer refused and nodded in agreement.

"By the way, it's best not to tell anyone about this Iron Dumbbell Pokémon egg. Its potential should be very good," Xia Yu advised.

What he took out was naturally the shiny Iron Dumbbell Pokémon egg, with champion-level potential.

He already has a champion-caliber Metagross, so there's no need for him to slowly train another champion-caliber Dumbbell.

It would be better to leave this unborn shiny Iron Dumbbell to your own child as their starter Pokémon.

"By the way, speaking of Pokémon, I also have something to tell you. Regarding the Pokémon you mentioned last time, I've found a few with decent potential. You can check them out in the Secret Realm if you have time." Xiao Wanyu said, remembering the Pokémon when she saw the Pokémon egg. "It's just not convenient to take the Pokémon away right now. The Pokémon Association has registered every single one."

"The Pokémon Association knows that Giovanni stole 999 Coins of the Money-Grubber, so they specifically sent people to keep an eye on the Money-Grubbers in the Secret Realm, hoping to find Giovanni by following the clues. After all, only Giovanni has the Coins of the Money-Grubber right now, so anyone who wants to buy Money-Grubbers at this time is most likely to be involved with Giovanni."

Hearing Xiao Wanyu's words, Xia Yu nodded and smiled faintly: "This matter is not urgent for now. You can take your time to choose the Money Spirit. If I don't need it, it can be our child's starter Pokémon."

"With a Dumbbell and a Moneypick, our child can definitely develop into a Steel-type trainer in the future."

I imagine my child's two starter Pokémon will be Metagross and Cyclops.

Xia Yu's smile widened. It seemed that his unfulfilled dream of becoming a Steel-type Master would most likely be passed on to his child in the future.

With just these two Pokémon, even if my child is not very good in the future, he can become one of the Elite Four in China and will most likely become the champion.

"I'll personally teach him, and this kid will definitely become a Steel-type master in the future," Xia Yu said cheerfully.

Hearing Xia Yu's words and feeling his concern for the child, Xiao Wanyu smiled and said, "Why are you preparing so many Pokémon for him? Besides, Grezhul is a Ghost-type Pokémon, and Beldum has a cold personality, so neither of them are suitable as a starter Pokémon for a child. It's best to find the starter Pokémon."

"Okay." Xia Yu nodded with a smile: "I'll do my best to find a Piplup, one of the starter Pokémon, and its final evolution should be Steel-type."

"Xia Yu, you really like Steel-type Pokémon?" Xiao Wanyu teased with a smile. "I never realized before, aren't you a Dragon-type trainer?"

"It's all fate." Xia Yu sighed. "Actually, my dream has always been to become a Steel-type Pokémon Master, but fate played a trick on me, and I accidentally ended up on the path of a Dragon-type Trainer."

"If God could give me another chance, I would definitely take the path of a Steel-type trainer without hesitation."

"I see you're quite happy being a Dragon-type trainer." Hearing Xia Yu's joking words, Xiao Wanyu's smile grew even brighter. "Actually, Xia Yu, I think if our child is a boy, being a Steel-type trainer would be good, but if it's a girl, being a Fairy-type trainer would be better."

…………

imperial capital.

Xia Yu strolled through the winter streets; the weather was gloomy and cold, with light snow falling.

He looked at the messages on his phone, his brow furrowed.

Qi Linyu, the head of the Qi family, voluntarily surrendered himself to the police. He is suspected of smuggling and selling Pokémon, murder, and other crimes, and has been taken into custody by the Pokémon Association.

Qi Linyu also confessed to his crimes without reservation, taking full responsibility for all the charges.

At the same time, all members of the Qi family except Qi Linyu moved to the capital, marking the official decline of the once-powerful Qi family.

When Xia Yu saw this message, he sensed something unusual. How could Qi Linyu turn himself in after only two days?

"Master, have you heard about the Qi family?" Xia Yu's voice rang out.

"Hmm." Long Fan nodded, his tone even more authoritative than before, which made Xia Yu sigh.

Master is indeed destined to be a champion; his demeanor is truly exceptional.

"What's going on?" Xia Yu asked hurriedly.

"So impulsive." Long Fan's voice rang out: "What are you worrying about? Have you been training seriously lately? I think you've gotten a little cocky after beating Wu Chongwen the other day."

"Ahem, Master. This isn't a mission for Team Zero, but it's related to Black Dragon City. I'm just checking on things," Xia Yu said.

"You should focus on improving your strength first," Long Fan replied. "Your concern for the Qi family can't be anything good. Let me tell you, don't worry about the Qi family and Black Dragon City for now. The Qi family, the Tao family, and the Lü family have reached a three-way agreement. The Qi family has given up its shares in the underground black market and moved out of the southwest region in exchange for a chance to survive. This matter is considered settled."

Long Fan briefly explained the Qi family's situation, then asked, "Why haven't you been playing in the Master-level League lately?"

"Master, I was planning to complete the triple jump directly, and then compete in the league once I'm strong enough," Xia Yu replied. "By the way, Master, how are you feeling in Shanghai?"

"You little rascal, you're starting to boss me around now, still the same old you." At this point, Long Fan suddenly changed his tone: "Xia Yu, how's Yan Ning doing lately? I heard you recently moved in with her?"

Chapter 499 A Chance Encounter on Campus.

Xia Yu arrived at the school dormitory after a long absence. Just as she reached the dormitory door, she heard Wu Yaozu's impassioned voice coming from inside.

"Xia Jie, heal me, heal me, give me health, cast a healing spell!" Accompanied by Wu Yaozu's loud voice, the sound of clattering keyboard and clicking mouse filled the room.

"Pentakill...Pentakill, don't steal it!"

"Penta kills!"

"Good job, Xiaojie. Am I good?"

…………

Hearing Wu Yaozu's voice, Xia Yu smiled. In fact, sometimes it seemed that Wu Yaozu was the happiest person. He didn't have grand ambitions, only his own little world.

Perhaps for Wu Yaozu, being able to play games with Xia Jie every day without any worries is the happiest thing for him.

"Click!" Xia Yu pushed the door open and entered.

"Who is it?" Upon hearing the noise, Wu Yaozu quickly took off his headphones and turned around. When he saw that it was Xia Yu, his face lit up with surprise: "Damn, Brother Yu, you're back. Rare guest, rare guest, please have a seat."

"Xia Yu is back?" Xia Jie's voice came through the earpiece.

"Okay," Wu Yaozu replied, "Wait for me a moment."

"Okay. I'll go tell Mu Zi that Xia Yu is back," Xia Jie said.

…………

"Yaozu, what's going on between you and Xia Jie?" Xia Yu's gaze fell on Wu Yaozu.

It's been a long time since we last saw Wu Yaozu. Although he looks a bit greasy, he has a radiant smile and seems to be living a very comfortable life.

"Ahem. We're online friends. Gaming buddies, dining buddies." Although Wu Yaozu said this, the smile on his face was undisguised. It was clear that he, who had sworn just a few months ago that he would never believe in love again, had fallen for it again.

Fools sometimes have good luck.

As Xia Yu sighed, Wu Yaozu looked at him and said, "What have you been busy with lately? You're such a busy man, too lazy to come back. Sit down, sit down."

"Stop making fun of me." Xia Yu sighed. "I don't know why there are so many things to do every day."

“After all, you’re different from us. Even if we wanted to be busy, we couldn’t find a place to be busy. We could only play games every day and get addicted to the virtual world.” Wu Yaozu looked at Xia Yu with a bright smile on his face: “It’s rare for you to come back today, let’s go out for a meal and some drinks together, relax and don’t be too nervous.”

Hearing Wu Yaozu's invitation, Xia Yu smiled. Wu Yaozu was one of his few friends, and their friendship had always been pure.

"Okay, let's go. You can tell me the location tonight, and I'll come find you. I have something to do this afternoon."

"Okay, I know you're busy. Go ahead and get busy. I'll invite Su Muzi over tonight too." Wu Yaozu nudged Xia Yu, his eyes full of ambiguity, not giving Xia Yu a chance to refuse. Then he put his headphones back on: "Xia Jie! One more round."

"I'll jungle this time and show you how powerful the King of the Jungle is."

…………

After leaving the dormitory, Xia Yu walked along the path on campus.

The plane trees on both sides of the road have become bare, giving it a desolate feel in the cold winter.

The white breath exhaled from his mouth drifted into the air.

Xia Yu found that the university she had longed for so much in her previous life now seemed somewhat unfamiliar.

Perhaps it was because of the child that Xia Yu felt a sense of unfamiliarity and fear.
