Ditto doesn't move

Xia Ming answered calmly, while also glancing around at the bar's furnishings.

Here, his memories of death resurfaced, and he recalled something about the intelligent gorilla.

Unlike other Pokémon that have had their shining moments in the anime, the experience of this Oranguru is quite ordinary.

Because of his talent for listening and his love for helping people, he opened a bar while living in seclusion here.

It also seems to have some psychological healing effects. Not only troubled humans, but also Team Rocket's Meowth, after being attacked by the evil Alola Meowth, once drank juice and complained here.

The only difference is that Zhihui Xing seems to have a good relationship with Xiong Shen (wearing a bear), and they often exchange honey from three bees and pineapple juice.

Snapped.

A wooden cup was placed in front of Xia Ming, and the unexpected fragrance made his nose twitch involuntarily.

This flavor...this flavor is silver pineapple?!

"Zhihui (This is a gift to thank you for helping everyone. Mr. Xia Ming, oh no, Emperor.)"

Like a strategist with extraordinary wisdom, Zhihui Xing watched with amusement as the other person took a sip of juice, and because of his blissful expression, his face flattened and he slumped onto the table.

P.S.: Everyone who joins the group is an amazing person.

As the old saying goes, the more you lack something, the more you like and pursue it.

A bunch of old men, they drained all my yang energy.

P.S.: Today's recommendation is also a book by the author's friend, "The Adorable Little Boy and Fat Girl".

Surprisingly, the story wasn't about oranges, but about the male protagonist.

Reincarnated in the Age of Gods, Why Am I Surrounded by Reincarnated Women?

Synopsis: The ancient Greek gods, but with maxed-out charm—what a nightmare start!

Koya lived in constant fear, terrified that Zeus would come down and tell him that he was the next Aquarius.

I don't want this kind of fate! Fortunately, I grew up on the Island of No Return. Although I have to accompany two goddesses who are like witches, at least I have a dear childhood friend by my side.

"Sister Stheno! Where's your composure? Don't you love cute things the most? I'm not cute anymore!"

"Eureka, stop biting... Okay, bite me all you want. It's my fault, I shouldn't have left. Why are you acting all tsundere now?"

Meanwhile, the one obediently holding Koya steady behind her was none other than her childhood sweetheart, Medusa.

He was greeted by chains binding his wrists, and two goddesses flanking him, tormenting him.

"Don't even think about running away again. Why can't you stay by our side and stay with us forever? We don't want you to leave. Let me stay by your side. Don't even think about abandoning us again."

Overwhelmed by the pressure, Koya could only lie obediently in bed.

It's so heavy! I'm afraid to move! Even if you put me down, I'm too scared to walk!

Volume 2, Grand Alliance Chapter: Chapter 149 Alpaca, you are so gentle!

So it was discovered after all?

Even though he was comfortably sprawled on the table after drinking the super delicious juice of the Silver Phoenix Pear Fruit, Xia Ming didn't relax enough to deactivate his transformation form.

The so-called communication is war, and a silly kid like Xiao Wubo, who is autistic and socially anxious, would probably be completely defeated once he went to the battlefield.

But how could an emperor be easily manipulated by someone who reveals a little secret?

Especially after being attacked by both Lusamine and Cynthia, he has now surpassed his peak and evolved once again.

Shaking the juice glass, Xia Ming chuckled softly:

"Let me answer my question first. What was that floating ball all about? Judging from your expression, you already know, don't you?"

"Zhihui (Ah, if I know it, I'll tell you.)" The gorilla, with the air of a wise elder, waved his fan. "Zhihui, Zhihui (It's the mist of the spirit world.)"

"The so-called spirit world mist is actually a product of the accumulation of ghostly energy undergoing a qualitative change and resonating with another world, which is why it is very difficult to see spirit phenomena in daily life."

"Intelligent Wit (With your extraordinary wisdom, you should have already figured it out, right? Floatball isn't the reason why Pokémon harm people.)"

"(But I'll still give you a little hint... Driftballs are actually Pokémon formed from the natural accumulation of wandering souls.)"

Xia Ming, the Martial God, picked up his juice glass and took another sip. As the wise gorilla had said, the extraordinary wisdom had indeed begun to take shape.

The reason why the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons does not occur in the everyday world is that when the energy of the ghost attribute gathers to a certain degree, it will automatically form a mist of the spirit world and carry it to another world.

The fact that they didn't leave suggests they must have some strong conviction to resist the siphoning effect of high-concentration energy on low-concentration energy.

That is to say...

"I understand now. The legend of the Float Ball does indeed contain a paradox hidden beneath the terrifying rumors."

The Emperor was overjoyed and said:

"I see. So Pokémon formed naturally from the accumulation of souls aren't souls? If they don't have any obsession with staying in this world, they must find it difficult to resist the pull of the spirit world."

"In other words, this Floating Ball already expends a great deal of energy just to resist the pull of the spirit world, so how could it possibly bring the child into the spirit world on its own, as the legend says?"

"That's exactly right."

Zhihui Xing said with satisfaction:

"Shūhō (All Ghost-type Pokémon are like this; they remain in this world because they still have unfulfilled wishes.)"

"Zhihui (After all, the Spirit Realm Fog is a one-way passage. If you linger in the fog, you might have a chance to meet again, but once you cross the Spirit Realm Fog, it will be a final farewell.)"

"Zhihui (Currently, the only one known to have gone to the Spirit Realm and been able to return is the Night Demon Spirit.)"

"A messenger from the spirit world. I see. If some Ghost-type Pokémon have been wandering for too long without fulfilling their wishes, or if their memories have been worn away by time, the spirit world will send someone to bring them back to that world."

This is the truth about death in this world.

The League keeps information about the deaths so tightly under wraps, probably to prevent people from causing trouble out of fear, or even encouraging more Ghost-type Pokémon to be born and disrupt the normal world.

However, after taking another sip of juice, the emperor couldn't help but think:

I learned some things from the Duckbill Fire Beast before, and now it seems...

This alpaca, although it looks like a novice creator god, has set up all sorts of rules very well and is also very gentle.

"Zhihui (So that floating ball is actually the collection of souls of children who died in accidents over the past few decades. Hmm, maybe there are other souls too.)"

"Zhihui (Anyway, it seems that he wanted to come out and take a look because the island and the school have become lively.)"

"Zhihui, Zhihui (But even I didn't expect that their obsession was just wanting to be cared for again.)"

"He said he wanted to protect the school, but he was at a loss when he suddenly died. He was worried that he would hurt others, so he could only hide on the sidelines and watch from a distance."

At this point, Martial God Xia Ming couldn't help but complain:

"Only a brat would have such an idea."

"Zhihui, Zhihui (Hehe, they're all good kids. Actually, that Dream Eater is already in a spirit state.)"

There was a moment of silence in the bar.

Immediately, Xia Ming, the Martial God, put down his juice glass:

"So how did you know my secret? It couldn't be that you could foresee the future, or that you were spying on me from the very beginning, could it?"

Zhihui laughed loudly, grabbed a glass from the side, and downed a glass of fermented tree fruit wine in one gulp:

"Zhihui (Want to guess?)"

"Ridiculous."

Emperor placed the juice glass back on the bar:

“I felt something was off from the beginning. The intelligence you’ve shown is far above average, even surpassing that of most trainers.”

"But you also clearly exhibit habits different from humans. To my knowledge, there's only one place where Pokémon behave like this..."

"Oh, I'm done drinking. I'll have another one."

Zhihui Xing skillfully took the cup and poured in more pineapple juice.

"Jihui (And then?)"

"You actually have a game console here? Did Mao bring it to you?"

Xia Ming, the Martial God, looked towards the corner of the room, where gaming equipment and power cords were scattered haphazardly, looking as if they had been messed up by a naughty child.

"Although even science fiction novels dare not easily adopt such a setting, but... considering that no one knows how many worlds are connected behind the Ultimate Hole."

"You...you wouldn't happen to be from the world of the Sky Expedition Team, would you?"

Zhihui Xing applauded with admiration.

"Zhihui (I originally thought you were from the same place as me, otherwise you wouldn't know so much about the Legend of the Explorers Guild.)"

"Zhihui (Now it seems you're not from my hometown; you're just like the legendary Pikachu, possessing a human soul.)"

"Chi-Hui (That's amazing! You've partnered with Riolu again. I'm starting to believe that one day you'll save the world too.)"

Xia Ming, the Martial God, couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Save my ass.

The alpacas in this world are still alive and well, and they even seem to be working diligently. How could there be any annihilation crisis?

Besides, even if a crisis of destruction occurs, what does it have to do with me, Xia Ming?

Do you even know what the value of a "super newbie" is?

I made a vow on my very first day here...

I will never work overtime!

"Zhihui (Haha, let's not digress. I invited you here because I have a request to ask of you. May I hear my request, sir of the expedition?)"

P.S.: Today's joke: the sound of clapping is also a sensitive word.

Volume 2, Grand League Saga: Chapter 150, The Seven Wonders of Alora (Continued)

An interesting question:

The Ether Foundation was established more than 20 years ago.

Before it was subject to strict regulation and before the Aether Foundation was established, how many Pokémon actually came to this world through Ultra Deep?

Don't count too much on those island gods; unless they cause obvious damage, the Garp family are only passionate about things that interest them. (Referring to their habit of never asking permission before stealing the Z-Bracelet.)

And how many of these Pokémon are mythical Pokémon like Meloetta, or even legendary Pokémon?

…………

It was nearly midnight when the trainers, still furious about being beaten to their knees by Pokémon, left drunk.

Even Officer Jenny and Joey were reluctant to say goodbye to Xia Ming and leave, as they needed to maintain their energy for tomorrow's work.

Only the usually carefree and easygoing cook, Ma'ao, was left to tidy up the table.

But she didn't tidy up for long. Because of the constant scrutinizing glances from behind, Mao finally couldn't help but turn around and question them:

"Mr. Xia Ming, is there something wrong with me?"

"Nothing wrong."

While rubbing his chin, Xia Ming, the Martial God, looked after Xiao Wubo, who was already a little sleepy because it was so late.

"I just suddenly realized that I haven't been paying much attention to school lately. How have you all been?"

"Is this normal?"

The young cook gathered the wooden cups together and said matter-of-factly:

"It's just normal classes, studying, and internships on other islands. Oh, by the way, when we found the golden nectar, Sweet Bamboo had already evolved into Sweetie!"

Sweet Wuni, who was helping to hand over the tray, also happily shook her twin-tail-like leaves in response.

"Everyone must be very busy lately."

"Lillie, Ash, and Kiawe are all going to participate in the Red and White Ball level competition. It seems that Mamane has made a group of hacker friends and is thinking about new inventions every day..."

"I don't know what Shui Lian is doing, but it seems that Dr. Kukui is working overtime to the point of collapse."

After saying this, Xia Ming, the Martial God, began to feel somewhat ashamed.

It seems that he has unknowingly influenced the happy campus life here.
