Pokémon: Back to high school, I became a Pokémon master

With a ferocious expression, Hina Tsukiha recalled Milotic. "Wearing Bear, get on the field!"

She chose to wear a bear costume once again.

"Hoo~ snoring~"

After Bewear appeared, a snoring sound rang out; Bewear was still under Gengar's hypnosis and had not yet woken up.

"Flower, magic shines!"

"Flower~ Flower~" (Finally, it's my turn to shine! Take this!)

Hua Liao Huan Huan made no attempt to conceal her strength, and her dazzling light shone towards the bear wearing clothes not far away!

"boom!"

The bear was thrown out of the room!

Hina Tsukiyo was closest and could clearly sense the aura emanating from Hanayo Kanran. This aura was no weaker than that of her Milotic. Upon realizing this, her face turned ashen.

She released her sixth Pokémon, whose strength was only at the peak of the Elite Four level. Naturally, it was no match for the Elite Four-level Flower Healing Ring, and it was defeated in just a few moves.

Zhou Wenchao ultimately advanced to the round of 64 with a score of 6:1.

The competition continues after Zhou Wenchao advanced...

The first day went as usual.

Until the second day, whether it was due to some kind of stimulation or because it was the ranking competition and there was no need to hide their strength anymore, three matches featuring Elite Four level Pokémon appeared on the second day of the ranking competition alone.

On the third day, three more matches featuring top-tier players took place.

The round of 128 to 64 is still in full swing. In the team competition, two matches have been completed in the round of 16 to 8, and the competition is equally fierce.

At night, night falls.

After having dinner at Jiang Yuan's place, he returned to his room. Jiang Yuan's match was today, and he had watched it; Jiang Yuan played well and successfully advanced to the round of 64. In three days, the round of 128 matches wasn't even halfway through.

At this rate, it will take another five or six days.

As usual, after finishing his training for the day, Zhou Wenchao went to the bathroom to take a shower and then go to sleep.

As soon as he took off his clothes, he felt as if a pair of eyes were watching him.

???

"Holy crap! Who are you?!"

Zhou Wenchao stared speechlessly at the little one wriggling around by the window.

The tiny green thing was almost invisible to the naked eye, but when he sensed that someone was watching him, he used his mental power to notice the subtle difference by the window.

The "little thing" was not surprised that Zhou Wenchao found it. Under his gaze, it slowly grew larger and eventually became a "cell nucleus" the size of a palm.

"Kygerd?"

Zhou Wenchao asked uncertainly.

A green creature, about the size of a palm and shaped like a gourd, was perched by the bathroom window. It had one white eye and looked somewhat lifeless. In the core area beneath its body was a gray-green hexagonal core.

"Soft~"

The zigger cell cried out.

(My master wants to see you.)

Zhou Wenchao, who possessed the power of Eternal Will, was now somewhat doubting his own abilities. Zygarde's master?

Are you kidding me?!

"Could you say that again? I didn't hear you clearly."

(My master wants to see you.)

"Who is your master?"

"Soft? Soft!"

(Don't you understand? This should be translated according to your human meaning. Or rather, it should be "I want to see you!")

???

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Zhou Wenchao finally came to his senses.

"You mean, Zygarde wants to see me?" He then remembered that the cell nucleus in front of him was inlaid with gray-green.

Zygard has two core cells, which can be simply referred to as Z1 and Z2.

Z1's cell core is pink, and their personality is closer to emotions.

Z2's cellular core is blue, and he has a very rational personality, which complements Z1. When the two combine, they can transform into the complete Zygarde.

Separately, the two can only merge into 10% and 50% forms by recalling and absorbing the remaining cells, each controlled by a different core, making them completely independent individuals.

The thing in front of me has a hexagonal core that is grayish-green, meaning it is just one of the millions of cells in the world.

Therefore, the "self" it refers to should be either Z1 or Z2.

He never expected such a discovery: that Kircheid was in America?

In his mind, Zygarde should be like Xerneas and Yveltal, lying dormant in some secret realm of Great Xia.

After learning that the thing in front of him was just a simple Zygarde cell, he was less nervous.

To put it bluntly, I can't recall this guy being of any use other than observation and recording; he doesn't even have any fighting ability.

The Kirgerd cell nodded.

"Alright. Lead the way. I also want to meet the legendary Z. What does this guardian of order want with me?"

He hadn't considered the potential harm this trip might cause him; after all, they were there to invite him, not to kidnap him, and Zygarde had no reason to harm him.

Zhou Wenchao told Xia Yuchen that he was going out, and Xia Yuchen didn't ask any further questions.

"Soft~" (Let's go.)

.......

Guided by the cells of the Gigeld, Zhou Wenchao rode a eagle and flew all night to reach his destination.

What comes into view is a forest, with lush trees and the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

Deep in the forest lies a lake, its surface shimmering in the sunlight.

Beside the lake was a large rock, and on the rock lay a cell that looked exactly like the guide cell, the only difference being that its hexagonal core was blue.

Z2!

The moment Zhou Wenchao saw it, or rather, the moment he saw it, he recognized its identity.

"You came!"

A voice appeared in Zhou Wenchao's mind.

Telepathy is something even mythical beasts can do.

"I am coming."

Z2 didn't say anything, just quietly looked at Zhou Wenchao.

Zhou Wenchao didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on a rock to the side.

"Lord Zigeld, what can I do for you?" Zhou Wenchao asked slowly.

"Heh~ Judging from your behavior, you don't respect me at all?"

"No way, I just saw you lying here sunbathing, so I thought I'd do as the Romans do and make it seem more friendly," Zhou Wenchao chuckled. He mainly wanted to get a closer look at the core of the Zygarde cell, since it wasn't something you could see easily.

If it weren't for the fact that it was their first meeting, he would have wanted Rotom to take a few pictures.

Z2 didn't say anything, just stared at Zhou Wenchao.

After a long pause, he finally spoke: "I've heard that guy and Xerneas mention you. Since you happen to be around here, I wanted to see what kind of person you are."

"That guy? Who is that guy?"

“You can call my other self Z2, and you can call him Z1.”

"Okay, Z2."

"I've come to see you today not only because I want to meet you, but also because I want to ask you for a favor."
