Chapter Sixty-One: The Legend of XYZ and Sharing a Bed

“Dr. Blatano, this reward is far too generous.”

"Yes, Doctor, even my grandfather never gave me such a precious gift."

The Master Ball has a 100% capture rate, which is the literal description of it. However, in reality, it represents more of a commemorative significance than a capture item.

Sweep across the eighth gym, defeat the Elite Four members and the Champion, and overcome the designated villain...

Even though the ways to acquire Master Balls differ due to generational differences, they are still a gift at the end of a journey, something that can only be encountered by chance.

"No, compared to life, these are merely mundane external things. Besides, this is not a gift given without compensation; it is a reward for your efforts."

"Without your help, Nan Yin, this operation would not have been able to proceed smoothly, and we would not have been able to catch the Flame Team."

Knowing the girl's humility, and precisely because of this, Blatano decided to give her this Master Ball.

He had witnessed the former's heroic fighting prowess firsthand, and he had also deeply felt the former's meticulous care in his daily life. How could all of this not move him and affirm his feelings?

If we were to set a benchmark for trainers, it would undoubtedly be this young girl before us.

"Dr. Blatano is right. He made it clear that the Master Ball is just a product of Silver Company. Just accept it as a regular red and white ball."

Although it's somewhat exaggerated, what Qinglu said is indeed true. Ultimately, the former is still an item that can be mass-produced and is somewhat rare.

"grateful."

She nodded in gratitude. Along the way, Nan Yin had received so much kindness from people, which was why she felt at peace in this land.

"No need to thank me. Go and rest for a bit, wipe your sweat. You've all worked so hard all day, you're the ones who really deserve it."

Their parting words also masked the gloom in their eyes. The girls' instructions ended there, but they still had necessary work to do: to count the number of Pokémon casualties.

However, the more they finalized the information, the more solemn their expressions became.

"The Blue-Green Champions probably have more than one base like Team Flare."

“I know that I have also spied on their activities in the ice caves and the interconnected tunnels.”

Setting his legs down, the brown-haired youth frowned and began to recount his recent experiences.

"It's not like they're simply settling down in the base; they seem to be searching for something within a predetermined area."

"Items, or Pokémon?"

He gave his own judgment, and deliberately emphasized the word "Pokémon". His past experiences made it easy for Qinglv to summarize the possibilities.

Both Team Galactic and Team Aqua changed the course of history by relying on the power of legendary Pokémon.

"Does the Professor know of any legendary Pokémon from Kalos?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Qinglu. There are very few specific descriptions of this in historical records. The only record of their appearance dates back to the epic battle between Carlos and Galer three thousand years ago."

"Domestic war, shifting conflicts, and will there still be an AZ king to activate the ultimate weapon?"

As a preface, Qinglu's past study abroad experience gave her some understanding of the epic stories passed down in this land.

"Well, although it wasn't explicitly stated, I think it's unrealistic for the ultimate weapon to be activated by human power alone; it must have relied on the abilities of legendary Pokémon."

Do they have specific characteristics?

The characteristics of legends are like the ocean and land of abundance, the mysterious time and space. Their opposing existence maintains ecological peace and creates certain established laws in nature.

However, even with exceptional observational skills, Qinglv still needs to know the general characteristics, both external and internal, to distinguish individuals.

“Deer and eagle, these are the most straightforward terms used in ancient pictographic writing, while Xerneas and Yveltal are the names we commonly use.”

"This doesn't even qualify as a reminder."

A chuckle escaped his lips; it was, of course, a jest, with no further entanglement. In the present moment, with knowledge still circulating but questions unanswered, he could only rely on himself to explore step by step.

Thinking this, and intending to say goodbye, Qinglu and Blatano simultaneously received an email.

— Signed as Nanyin.

"Life and death, and order?"

"...The Forest of Oruans? It seems you also received that child's letter."

They whispered the message in their eyes, and both sides were greatly surprised.

The letter not only described the appearances of X and Y, but also detailed their powers and areas of activity. Nan Yin even alluded to the existence of a third legend, God Z.

"A fairly detailed description, with such a concrete image, ensures the direction of tracking and the convenience of action."

"That child always manages to surprise us unexpectedly. From his early naivety to his current composure, I've lost count of how many times he has surprised us."

There was no doubt about it; mutual trust is the foundation of our relationship.

Softly sighing with gratitude, he also felt deeply fortunate. Without the other party's revelation and help, Bratano didn't know how much longer he would have been kept in the dark by Fradali.

Feeling dejected, the bitterness in his heart intensified. His close friend, with whom he used to talk day and night, had suddenly transformed into the leader of a villainous organization. Who could easily calm down from such a contrast?

After witnessing the devastation at the Poké Ball factory, the feeling was one of deep sorrow and indignation.

"Dr. Blatano, please give my regards to her."

I am truly grateful. This timely reminder not only resolved my confusion but also pointed out the goals and path for Qinglu.

If I'm not mistaken, after suffering a public blow and having their infamy exposed, Team Flare should accelerate their efforts in the coming days to fully implement their plan while the league is still unable to react or mobilize resources.

Therefore, the action to protect those three legendary statues is imminent and cannot be delayed.

After adjusting his sunglasses and putting on his cape, the young man strode out after a brief farewell.

As he walked, he recalled the scene of his first meeting with Nan Yin.

While the combination of superpowers and aura is rare, it is not surprising. What truly amazed Qinglv was the other party's focus when facing a crisis and his calmness during battle.

Such talent is even similar to that of his formidable rival.

Diancie, Zapdos, Sylveon... these exceptionally talented Pokémon gathered around him one by one, as if by destiny.

After witnessing the other party's actions in subduing the sacred bird, he deduced from the change in their expression that they were unharmed, and that healing serious injuries seemed to be no difficult task for Nan Yin.

He was genuinely curious about the solution, but he managed to suppress his emotional fluctuations and wouldn't delve further into the underlying issues.

The current feeling of green is like a premonition, just like when I, along with red and blue, defeated the Rockets, experiencing ups and downs along the way.

He might become a witness, witnessing a young girl climb from the foot of the mountain to the summit.

......

Unaware of others' thoughts, Nan Yin was currently tidying up her belongings and cleaning up the house she hadn't returned to for months.

After resolving the Poké Ball factory issue, they returned to Luna City with Blatano and were reunited with their long-lost home.

The reason I used "们" is because the chatter around me was so loud that I couldn't ignore or take it lightly.

"Nanyin, is this your home?"

"What an exquisite arrangement! Did you plant those starfruit trees too?"

"Wow, it's a Big Tail body pillow!"

Looking around and asking questions with great curiosity, Korni indulged her thirst for knowledge.

Unable to withstand the barrage of questions, Nan Yin looked at the girl whose eyelashes were almost touching hers, and even felt that if she leaned forward, she could touch the girl's smooth forehead.

Hey, I don't remember letting the former into my room.

She sighed inwardly, but brought a chair for the sparrow-like blonde girl and, out of courtesy, asked about her preferences.

What do you like to drink?

"Heated milk will do."

Press the power button, pour in water, stir in milk powder, and wait until the temperature is just right. Then, Nan Yin gently blows on it and presents it to Ke Er Ni.

"Please use."

It was just ordinary milk, but for some reason, the blonde girl's face showed anticipation, as if she had been longing for it and was finally getting her approval.

"Thank you."

Instead of rushing to taste it, Korni simply rested her head on her arm and quietly watched the former continue bustling between the stove and the small animal.

Sometimes she would take out a towel to wipe the dusty furniture, sometimes she would pick up a broom to carefully sweep the corners of the room, and every now and then she would take a comb to groom the slightly messy fur of the little animals, and then gently soothe them.

As if she were not present, or as if she had truly entered a state of complete concentration, Nan Yin's facial features and figure were fully displayed to her through her movements within her field of vision.

Her white hair cascaded down her back, her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, and her hips and waist were shapely. She was much fuller than her peers, but these were just her appearance. What was even more captivating was her single-minded demeanor.

Perhaps this is why she felt a sense of goodwill towards the other person when she first saw her. Nan Yin was the kind of person she wanted to become, the kind of child her grandfather always talked about.

Although she can be overly obsessive and a little cunning in some ways.

But she is unpretentious and patient enough to chat with me. Even though she intentionally maintains a distance, she can put aside her pride and comfort me gently when we are actually together.

"Hey, Nanyin."

Calling out her friend's name, Korne asked cautiously.

"What are your plans for the future, or where do you plan to travel?"

"Ok?"

The girl, who was engrossed in her work, tilted her head slightly and looked away, only heard the former's words after a while.

"me?"

Raising her fingertips, she stares blankly at herself for a moment, pulling herself back to reality. Nan Yin always has a moment of dazedness.

"I don't have any grand ideas about the future. Accompanying these children as they grow up and exploring historical sites they've never been to before, that's probably what I think is meaningful."

"The Flame Team?"

"It will be eliminated soon."

Stroking Eevee's fur elicited soft babbling from the little guy, who then wrapped the ribbon tightly around his arm.

Without looking up at Kerni, Nan Yin simply lowered her eyes and gazed at the adorable little beast in her arms.

"To be removed soon" means...?

"It refers to waiting for the right time, when one's own strength and the right opportunity are both met."

They did not harbor any lone courage or savior mentality; the girls knew that in front of them were elders and predecessors who sheltered them from the wind and rain and supported them.

What I need to do is grow as quickly as possible during this period and truly reach a point where I can control my own destiny.

This statement may sound arrogant, but Korne only sensed absolute confidence in it.

"Nanyin, may I ask you another question?"

"of course."

Having agreed, and watching the girl's composed figure, Korni pursed her lips and whispered.

"...How can one maintain such composure and calmness as you do?"

Stunned by these words, Nan Yin never expected her friend to ask such a question.

In her opinion, the other person was lively, cheerful, sunny, and outgoing, and should not have a timid or inferior mentality.

In reality, due to the strict demands of her elders, Korni often lived in a high-pressure environment and frequently questioned the results of her own efforts.

Losing to Alain and being unable to control Mega Evolution freely were both unacceptable answers in Mr. Cocoble's eyes, and condemnation was inevitable. However, most of the time, the girl kept her emotions to herself, not wanting to affect others.

However, Nan Yin was unaware of all this. She always viewed people with conventional thinking and never understood the timidity hidden beneath the blonde girl's face.

"I don't know how to answer this question in the general public's opinion."

Nan Yin's preface undoubtedly dimmed Ke Erni's gaze somewhat, but the subsequent continuation offered another explanation and encouragement.

"But for me personally, learning to compromise and recognize reality is enough."

"I am a breeder and a fledgling trainer. My goals are still there, and I am still young. This is my answer to my heart, and more importantly, my belief in myself."
