Knights of the Elf World

On the way back to the Pokémon Center, Haunter was floating on the side with a dejected look on his face, while Zi-chan kept comforting it.

Originally, Haunter thought that as long as he had this stone and then evolved into Gengar, he would be able to complete the mage evolution, so he wanted to evolve again without saying a word. After all, this was not a difficult task for this old ghost.

But Xichen stopped it and told it that even if it evolved into Gengar now, it would not be able to complete mage evolution, because mage evolution does not only rely on the Pokémon itself, but also requires a deep bond with the trainer. Now the man and the Gengar have just met, so where would the bond come from? What's more, Xichen doesn't even have the key stone for the trainer, so mage evolution is a fantasy.

"Okay, we're near the Pokémon Center. You two can come back first." Xichen said after seeing the Pokémon Center. Xiao Zi nodded obediently, then turned into a wisp of white smoke and flew into the ring on Xichen's hand. As for Haunter, he was still in emo mode, which made Xichen's forehead veins twitch slightly.

"Okay, I'll let you evolve sooner or later. Now come back to me first!" Then he took out the Poké Ball and took Haunter back without saying anything. Damn it, don't you need to sleep? Then Xichen walked back to the Pokémon Center and went back to his room to sleep soundly.

With the addition of Haunter, Xichen now has six Pokémon in his hands in the true sense. Since Dratini is still an egg, it is not counted in Xichen's hand count.

the next day......

"Ha~" Xichen and Shirona walked in a forest leading to Jinhuang City. After crossing the forest, they reached Jinhuang City. At this time, Xichen looked listless, obviously he did not sleep well, which made Shirona frown slightly.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Usually when she was at home, Xichen was the one who woke her up, but today she got up first, and when she went to find Xichen, he was still sleeping, which made Shirona feel strange.

"I guess so, ha~" Xichen responded weakly. He was disturbed by Haunter and Xiaozi at night, and then forced to turn on the computer by Sirona. Anyone would feel sleepy now, right?

"What about your gym? We can reach Golden City by about noon if we cross this forest, and the owner of the Golden Gym is quite powerful. Can you do this?" Shirona asked worriedly.

"Sure! I can do it!" Xichen suddenly said excitedly. There was no other way. The word "no" was the most taboo for men! Besides, with the addition of Haunter, a ghost-type Pokémon, the Golden Gym was nothing to be afraid of!

"Oh, that's good." Seeing Xichen suddenly regained his spirit, Sirona didn't say anything.

"By the way, Sirona, while it's still early, come and help me train Pokémon. It will also help me wake up!" Xichen suddenly suggested.

Forest clearing...

"Squirtle, use Water Wave, Agumon, use Small Flame!" Squirtle and Agumon were fighting under Xichen's command. The two Pokémon used their special moves to attack each other, and their power was evenly matched.

Now in Xichen's team, Squirtle's strength is at the bottom, and now while Agumon has not fully evolved into Tyrannosaurus, the two little ones can still practice against each other.

As for Xichen's other Pokémon, they were all with Shirona's Pokémon. Garchomp was learning Dragon Swarm from Garchomp, Gyarados was learning water-type moves from Minato and Dugong, and Beedrill was practicing with Lucario, training his speed and attack power.

As for Haunter who just joined the team, this old ghost is now talking to a stone, and that stone is Shirona's Ragnarok. Ragnarok itself is introverted, and as soon as Haunter came out, it noticed it and flew over to talk to it, which made Ragnarok embarrassed to come out until now.

"Xiao Chen's Pokémon is really unique." Sirona sighed as she looked at Haunter. She was envious of this Haunter that was a little different in color and could talk. "It seems that Xiao Chen went to look for this Haunter last night."

Sometimes, even Sirona would envy Xichen's luck. First he had the red Gyarados, then he had Haunter, and now he also had special Pokémon like Little V given by Arceus.

In response to Xiao V and the others' explanation, Xichen said that they were given to him by Arceus. At first, they only existed in the mark on his hand. They only came out when he first arrived in Kanto.

As for the mark on Xichen's hand, Shirona was aware of it. She had seen that mark on Xichen's hand since the first time she met him, but she didn't expect it was done by Arceus. When she first heard Xichen's explanation, Shirona was shocked for a long time. After all, that was Arceus, the legendary creator god of Sinnoh. How could this not excite her as a mythologist?

So Sirona asked Xichen if he had seen Arceus, and Xichen nodded. Knowing what Sirona meant, he told Sirona that she couldn't see Arceus now, but there would be a chance in the future. This calmed Sirona down.

"Well done! Squirtle, if you want to master stronger special moves, you must be able to use your current special moves more skillfully. Let's do it again!" Xichen said to the two. Hearing Xichen's words, Agumon's mouth ignited with raging fire again, ready to spit at Squirtle, but the scene in front of him confirmed that Agumon stopped, and Xichen was also stunned, then smiled, "This is... finally evolved!"

"Jenny!"

It was seen that Squirtle was not using water waves, but was wrapped in white light. Its shape gradually changed. As the light became stronger and stronger, it almost blocked Xichen's vision. After a while, the light dissipated, and Squirtle disappeared, replaced by a Squirtle.

"Kame!"

"Oh, it's evolved. Please give me more advice in the future, Stotle." At this time, Sirona was also attracted. Seeing the newly evolved Stotle, she squatted down and touched its slippery head with a smile.

"This guy finally decided to evolve." Xichen said with relief. It was obvious that the energy in Squirtle's body had reached the level for evolution, but for some reason it just wouldn't evolve. Xichen even suspected whether it was Squirtle's own fault. After all, when he was watching the anime before, he remembered that Squirtle had never evolved in Satoshi's hands. But now Xichen was relieved.

Jinhuang City...

The evolution of Squirtle is cause for celebration. Xichen was so happy that he ended the training early and moved on. However, when they walked out of the forest, it was already afternoon.

"We're in Golden City. I'm going to take a shower first. Xiaochen, you shouldn't be in a hurry to challenge the gym, right?" After seeing the city, the girl Shirona immediately spoke up and asked playfully. It was obvious that after seeing Haunter, Shirona determined that Xichen would not be so anxious to challenge the gym.

Xichen didn't object when he heard that. It was a day's journey, so it would be okay to wait until night to challenge it. Besides, facing the Psychic-type Golden Gym, Haunter was undoubtedly the best choice. Since it was a Ghost-type, it would be best to wait until night.
