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

"No help."

Just kidding, the fact that the famous Zygarde asked him for help is suspicious.

Seeing the refusal so decisively, Zygarde was slightly surprised. "You're quite interesting. Don't worry, there's no danger. It's just that my main body can't leave this place for some reason."

My clone cells aren't very powerful in combat, otherwise I wouldn't have needed your help.

"No help."

Zhou Wenchao still refused.

"There is a reward."

Ok?

Zhou Wenchao looked at Zygarde with some surprise. He didn't expect that a first-level god would actually ask for a reward.

"What's the matter? Let's talk about it."

Z2 raised an eyebrow. "I thought you were going to ask about the compensation."

"I need to hear what it is about first. If I can't do it, wouldn't I just be envious of the reward?"

"Since you have been chosen by them, you should naturally understand the general situation of this world. I will not go into too much detail. As the guardian of the world order, I sense that a great calamity is coming in the near future."

In order to cope with the great calamity of this chaotic world, I naturally need to make some preparations.

Years ago, to suppress the demons, I sealed away a portion of my power. Now, the demons have risen again, engaging in small-scale activities across various regions, and the previous seal has lost its effectiveness.

So I reopened the sealed land, hoping to reclaim my share of power.

Unfortunately, due to some health issues on my part and Z1's absence, my control over the sealed land encountered some unexpected problems. He didn't appear before me.

I want you to go to the sealed land for me and retrieve my power.

"Your power? How can I help you get it back?" Zhou Wenchao asked. After all, Z2's words were a bit mysterious. Power is such a mysterious thing, unless there is some kind of vessel for it.

"I once imprinted my power into a piece of jade, which you humans would call a MEGA stone. Just bring that stone back to me."

MEGA Evolution Stone!

Zhou Wenchao was startled. Just a few days ago, Xia Yuhe had told him that numerous mineral deposits and secret realms had appeared in the territories of various alliances, containing all sorts of evolution stones, and that entirely new evolution stones had also been discovered.

The outcome of this intercontinental league competition will also determine the distribution of these stones.

Where is the sealed land?

"It's in a secret realm to the south." A green light shot out from Z2 and entered Zhou Wenchao's mind, recording the geographical location of the secret realm and the location of the Zygarde Mega Evolution Stone within it.

"By the way, we need to hurry. According to the message I sent back from my clone outside, you humans are preparing to develop the secret realm in a month."

"So anxious?"

A month later, judging from the timing, it should be right after the Intercontinental League ended.

"Why don't you ask those people from the American Alliance for help? Aren't they more suitable than me?"

"This matter concerns the battle against the demons, and there can be no risks. As for them, I cannot completely trust them, even if there is only a one percent chance. After all, there have been many traitors in human history."

"So you trust me that much?"

"It's not that I trust you, but that I trust the guy who chose you."

"Well, looks like I'm going to have to take on the task of saving the world again." Zhou Wenchao shrugged. "So, let's talk about the reward?"

"After saying all this, you still want payment?"

"Of course, I can't work for nothing. I need to eat too. Even if it's just a little bit of something from between your fingers, it's enough for me to eat and drink my fill."

Z2 remained silent for a long time before speaking: "When the time comes, you can freely take whatever you need in the secret realm. There are a lot of attribute gems, evolution stones, rare herbs, and even more super evolution stones. Take as many as you want."

"Um... My esteemed Lord Zygarde, I can take these things myself once I go inside. I don't think I need you to give them to me?"

Upon hearing Zhou Wenchao's words, Z2's face turned ashen.

"Sigh~ Never mind. I know of a blessed land that leads to the heavens, with a Thunder Pool inside. It contains abundant Thunder Spirit Liquid and Heavenly Thunder, which can transform Electric-type Pokémon and greatly help them break through bottlenecks."

"Um... but I don't have any Electric-type Pokémon."

Z2: ......

"I also know of a place with a pool of fire, similar to a thunder pool, and it even has a chance to transform the flames of fire-type spirits. What do you think?"

Hearing that Fire Pool and Thunder Pool have the same effect, Zhou Wenchao was slightly surprised. After all, he was very interested in Thunder Pool, which Z2 had just mentioned, but he was short of Electric-type Pokémon. Now, Fire Pool was a good fit for Chicken.

"Is there anything else?"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't push your luck."

"Okay, I accept."

"Then hurry up and go, and remember to come back soon."

"Um, should I go back and leave them a message? I don't know how long I'll be gone this time," Zhou Wenchao said. The top 128 qualifying matches are about a third of the way through, and the next round is in about six days. He wasn't sure if he could get back before then.

"No need for that, I'll take you there."

Z2 looked up and a vortex appeared in front of him.

"Go away!"

A force pushed Zhou Wenchao inside.

As he passed through the vortex, Zhou Wenchao clearly felt a spatial force, the same feeling he had when he accidentally entered the secret realm before.

Clearly, Zygarde used his abilities to send Zhou Wenchao into the secret realm.

......

After a dizzying spin, Zhou Wenchao lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he found himself in a brand new place, a place with lush vegetation, clear waters, and beautiful scenery—a truly wonderful place.

There are mountains, water and trees.

"What have I done here?" Zhou Wenchao looked around with a headache. He hadn't expected to come in such a hurry, and there wasn't even any food prepared.

Fortunately, I had a few days' worth of compressed biscuits stored in my spatial ring, so I should at least not starve.

How should we find it?

Zygard only gave him the specific location: a palace built of rock, located in the very center of the entire secret realm. However, there was one thing he couldn't confirm: his current location.

Unless, you ask a local wild elf.

"Rotom, how much time has passed since you came in?"

"Master, it's been twenty minutes, Loto!"

........

The dormitory area of ​​the Intercontinental Union.

When Xia Yuchen woke up in the morning and saw that Zhou Wenchao had not returned yet, he couldn't help but purse his lips.

"Tch~ This guy is really something."

When Zhou Wenchao told him yesterday that he wouldn't be back that night, he already knew, but he simply assumed that Zhou was going to see Danqiu and wasn't too surprised.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

There was a knock on the door.

"Who is it!" Xia Yuchen called out, his words slightly slurred, as he was washing up.

Seeing no response from outside, he finished washing up, went to the door, and opened the room door.

An unexpected figure appeared outside Xia Yuchen's door.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, is Zhou Wenchao from the Great Xia Alliance here?"
