Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

Li Chen tilted his head.

"How about... another round...?"

Irene thinks Li Chen’s special training is very effective.

So good that I couldn't help but use the "One More Time" trick.

As we all know, the effect of one more round is three more rounds.

......

......

It was nine o'clock in the morning.

Li Chen was standing in front of the window stretching his muscles.

The wooden floor of the old hotel creaked comfortably under his feet, as if it was also enjoying the refreshing feeling.

And deep in the sea of ​​consciousness——

Irene's soul body collapsed on the sofa in the spiritual world, like a ball of marshmallow that was being moved around randomly.

She couldn't have imagined it.

The Evergreen Power that I gave to Li Chen is a bug.

And that dragon-controlling power, wave-guiding power, and super-conquering power, none of them are good...

"Bad...guy..."

The weak accusation turned into bubbles and floated out of his mind, and in the real world it turned into a slight smile on Li Chen's lips.

"Remember to look for me more often in the future."

He deliberately hummed a love song out of tune while tying his tie, and felt with satisfaction the vibrations of the pillow hitting him in his sea of ​​consciousness.

......

......

Outside the door, N's figure was as straight as a pine tree.

The sunlight filtered through the stained glass at the end of the corridor, casting a spot of light on his shoulder.

Li Chen's footsteps were heard, and N was stroking the museum marked with a red circle on the map of Qibao City with his fingertips.

"Good morning."

When N turned around, a few strands of black and white energy lingered in his green hair. "According to Zekrom's intuition, we must leave today. They're at the Shippo Museum, trying to steal the Dragon Stone."

"Dragon Stone?"

Li Chen thought for a moment and said, "Reshiram's Light Stone?"

Although I have it, it is not from this world.

"Exactly."

N's pupils suddenly contracted, and a black and white dragon shadow appeared in his emerald eyes.

As he raised his hand, the lightning patterns sliding down his sleeve flickered in the morning light: "To practice the way of the twin dragons, you must first grasp the source of light."

In the shadows of the corridor, the two shadows slightly overlapped.

The causal lines of the two worlds quietly intertwined into a web at this moment...

"In that case, let's go."

Li Chen nodded and left the hotel with N.

Creak...

The carved wooden door of the hotel was flung open, and the morning breeze blew fallen leaves into the lobby.

As soon as Li Chen stepped out of the door, he bumped into a figure.

"Ugh...!"

The girl stumbled back a few steps, her denim shorts covered in grass clippings.

She covered her red forehead and looked up, her high ponytail bouncing like a frightened vine snake.

The two men paused at the same time and looked at the girl sitting on the ground in surprise.

"Who are you?" Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that the other person looked familiar.

"It hurts, it hurts..." The girl got up in a hurry, with grass debris still on her knees.

She rubbed her red forehead, her ponytail swinging with her movements, "I'm Douzi, a rookie trainer who just started out."

She sheepishly dusted off her denim shorts, the brand new Pokéball belt around her waist gleaming in the sunlight.

An empty coin purse slipped from her pocket and rolled to the edge of N's boot.

"Your purse fell."

N bent down to pick up the coin purse embroidered with the Nuannuan pig pattern and wanted to give it to the other party.

"Thank you, thank you!" Douzi reached out to take it in a panic.

Their fingers touched briefly in the morning light, and N suddenly retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

His emerald pupils trembled slightly, and his fingertips that were touched curled up unconsciously, as if the lingering warmth of the other person was still lingering.

Douzi stared blankly at the green-haired young man who suddenly turned his back.

The ears that were exposed between the other person's hair were turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A gust of morning breeze blew past, sweeping away the subtle silence between the two.

Li Chen's voice suddenly floated from behind them: "As the saying goes, there's no friendship without fighting. You two are so destined to be together... why don't you exchange contact information?"

"what?"

N's body visibly stiffened.

The young man who looked down upon the world in the thundercloud last night was now tugging at the hem of his long coat in a panic.

"This...this..." His voice became smaller and smaller, and finally almost became a whisper, "How rude..."

Douzi tilted his head curiously, looking at the tall man in front of him who suddenly stuttered.

"Then... I'll leave first then!"

Douzi's ponytail drew a cheerful arc in the sunlight, and as she ran backwards, her sneakers crushed the morning light on the ground.

N stood there, the hem of his clothes rustling in the wind.

It wasn't until the figure disappeared around the corner that he blinked as if waking from a dream...

This completely different feeling was very novel to him.

"Yo yo yo, the king of plasma pairs..."

Li Chen suddenly leaned closer and poked N's burning cheek with his fingertips, "Could it be that the iron tree has blossomed?"

"......"

N did not answer, but just pursed his lips to prevent himself from making any sound.

Chapter 515: Team Plasma's Infiltration

After Douzi's figure completely disappeared around the corner, the atmosphere around N gradually settled down.

He pretended to be calm and adjusted his clothes, but the collar became more and more crooked.

Li Chen leaned against the wall with his arms folded, a knowing smile in his eyes.

This king who can control the dragons of ideals and reality at the same time is now being thrown into chaos by the most primitive throbbing.

Just like a little Yorkie who is exposed to the outside world for the first time, he wants to get closer but is afraid of getting burned.

The wind chimes rang softly under the eaves of the hotel, waking up N who was in a daze.

When he turned around in a hurry, he didn't notice that his shadow was quietly extending in the direction the girl left.

......

......

Li Chen and the other person stood at a fork in the road outside Sanyao City.

The winding mountain road in the distance was steaming with heat waves under the scorching sun. It seemed that it would take at least two days of hiking to reach Qibao City.

"Let's try it a different way this time."

As Li Chen spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and stopped a freight locomotive with graffiti of a buffalo with an afro.

The rusty carriages were filled with baskets of berries, emitting a sweet aroma.

The driver leaned out the window, a smile visible beneath his hat. "Going to Qibao City? Five hundred Alliance Coins per person!"

N looked at the Qibao Museum freight manifest leaking out from the gap in the carriage, lost in thought.

Li Chen had already climbed into the car nimbly, and the metal pedals made a harsh squeaking sound under his feet.

"Come up."

He extended his hand towards N. "If we walk, by the time we reach Qibao City, there won't even be a sliver of Dragon Stone left."

Buzz buzz...

At this moment, the roar of the engine startled the rat on the roadside, and N grabbed Li Chen's hand and jumped into the car.

A freight locomotive drove into the Qibao City boundary marker at dusk, and its tires made crisp crackling sounds as they rolled over the gravel road.

The setting sun dyed the mottled graffiti on the carriage blood red, startling the flock of pigeons perched on the road signs.

Li Chen jumped out of the car. The spires of the Gothic buildings in the distance pierced the sunset, and the stained glass windows reflected an unsettling blue light.

That is the location of the exhibition hall where the Dragon Stone is collected.

The corners of N's clothes fluttered in the hot wind.

The evening bell of Qibao City just happened to ring, startling away the black and white dragon shadows entangled at the feet of the two men.

N stroked his chin, his emerald pupils reflecting the red light of the surveillance camera on the distant museum spire.

"It looks..."

He lowered his voice to a whisper, as if afraid to alert the conductive flying squirrels on the glass windows of the exhibition hall. "The guards were more lax than expected?"

"Shhh."

Li Chen suddenly pressed his shoulders, and the muscles under his fingertips instantly tensed.

The setting sun stretched the two men's shadows and cast them on the red brick wall. A third sneaky shadow could be vaguely seen flashing through the alley.

"First, find a place to stay."

Li Chen's lips barely moved, but his voice reached N's ears clearly, "Wait until the midnight bell rings, and that's when the dragon wakes up."

N frowned slightly, and although he did not fully understand Li Chen's intention, he still nodded obediently.

In the twilight.

The two figures disappeared into the intricate alleys of Qibao City and finally stopped in front of a small restaurant with a sign that read "Dragon's Breath Smoke".

Inside the greasy glass window, the grilled meat on the iron plate was sizzling.

N stared at the words "Double Dragon Set Meal" on the menu in a daze until the waiter pushed a steak covered in sauce in front of him, and he came to his senses.

When Li Chen broke open the disposable chopsticks, wood chips fell onto the newspaper printed with the news about the plasma group.

Outside the window, the museum's searchlight suddenly swept across the night sky, waking up little York who was napping at N's feet.

Noticing the news in the newspaper, the boss was furious and slammed the stew pot heavily on the stove, pointing his finger, with oil stains on his apron, at the yellowed news clippings on the wall.

"Those guys in robes keep yelling about freeing Pokémon," he snorted, a puff of white smoke coming out of his nose. "But last month I saw them dumping injured eels behind the garbage dump."

As the shovel sizzled the steak, the boss spat on the ground, "You're saying 'Pokémon need freedom,' and then you use your Dark Ball to catch the Heartbat at the kindergarten gate."
