Chapter 234: Just Two Months Later, Destiny Comes Collecting Its Debt
After arriving at the edge of the farm, Lu Li called over the Onix that was training.
“Onix, open your mouth.” Lu Li shouted.
The Onix that received the command opened its giant mouth.
The Onix swallowed the Ability Divine Pill along with the glass bottle in one gulp.
The Onix that unconditionally trusted Lu Li didn’t even ask what Lu Li had given it to eat.
Moments later, Lu Li looked at the Onix full of expectation and asked, “How is it? Do you feel anything?”
“Rock~”
（I feel… like I have an extra Ability.）
The Onix said somewhat hesitantly.
“That’s not an illusion.” Lu Li excitedly asked, “What Ability?”
“Rock~”
（It’s Cracked Armor.）
“It’s actually a Hidden Ability?” Lu Li raised his eyebrows, also a bit surprised.
The Ability of Cracked Armor is that when taking damage from physical Moves, defense decreases, and speed greatly increases.
With this Ability, when facing Pokémon skilled in physical attacks, the Onix will be invincible on the follow-up.
Lu Li smiled and encouraged, “Hidden Ability is not bad either. Although it can’t strengthen your defense, it enriches your attack methods.”
The Onix nodded. It was very happy with its new Ability, and it didn’t matter what Ability it was.
After achieving the goal, Lu Li who was preparing to leave didn’t forget to encourage the Onix.
“Hurry and get stronger. I’m making the world’s most powerful Metal Coat for you.”
The Onix nodded, completely believing the big pie Lu Li painted for it.
In fact, this wasn’t exactly painting a big pie for Lu Li, after all, the Metal Coat had always been his key research project.
The Onix would only be able to use the Metal Coat when it was almost Heavenly King Level, and Lu Li had already started collecting Materials for making the Metal Coat.
“Mm~”
Lu Li who was just preparing to leave suddenly stopped, then looked thoughtfully at the jungle not far away.
Although separated by a great distance, Lu Li could clearly feel a Psychic Power locking onto him.
Lu Li who became vigilant quietly contacted Bao Bao in the villa, asking her to get reinforcements（find Yao Yifei）.
Sensing its Trainer’s call, Tropius also quickly rushed over here. The Onix that had just gone underground also drilled back out.
This inexplicable locking sensation came inexplicably and left even more inexplicably.
After feeling the lock on him disappear, the giant rock in Lu Li’s heart finally settled.
With the sound of breaking air, Yao Yifei who came over with Espeon suddenly appeared beside Lu Li: “What happened? Bao Bao said you encountered danger here?”
Lu Li shook his head and explained, “Just now I felt a Psychic Power locking onto me. It should have been observing me, but now it suddenly disappeared.”
“Could it be a wild Pokémon?”
After Yao Yifei finished speaking, she nodded to the Espeon beside her.
The Espeon with purple Radiance flashing in its eyes spread its Spiritual Power around.
Moments later, the Espeon that withdrew its Psychic Power answered via Telepathy, “There are no Psychic Type Pokémon nearby.”
After the Espeon finished speaking, it turned its gaze to Lu Li: “If you didn’t feel wrong, then there are only two possibilities.”
“Which two?”
Lu Li looked worriedly at the Espeon, waiting for its follow-up.
Being targeted by a Psychic Type Pokémon is not a good thing. Lu Li didn’t want to just let this matter pass, after all, he had too many secrets on him. If there was a Psychic Type Pokémon secretly spying, that would be big trouble.
The Espeon answered, “The first is that it’s your illusion, the second is that the Pokémon hiding in the dark is stronger than me.”
Lu Li hesitantly asked, “There shouldn’t be many wild Pokémon stronger than you, right? Especially in the real world.”
The Espeon nodded.
There are absolutely not many Pokémon that can grow to Gym Level in the real world, and even if there are, they would choose to enter Secret Realms instead of spying on a human like Lu Li.
“Then it can only be the second one.”
Lu Li sighed depressedly. He was still quite confident in his abilities. Lu Li was almost certain that there was definitely a Pokémon spying on him in the dark.
It just happened to disappear right now.
Yao Yifei suddenly said, “I remember a stranger seemed to have come near Golden Chicken Village?”
“Could it be someone the Alliance sent to protect you?” Yao Yifei analyzed.
Lu Li shook his head. If that were true, the Alliance would definitely notify him in advance.
Moreover, now that Yao Yifei was by his side, the Alliance was even less likely to send someone.
“Then it seems the truth is only one. That uninvited guest is probably not a simple person. Do you want me to go meet him?” Yao Yifei proactively suggested.
This time Lu Li didn’t object.
Lu Li reminded, “Then I’ll trouble you. Try not to conflict with the other party. If it’s really her, her strength might be stronger than yours.”
Yao Yifei nodded, then disappeared from the spot with Espeon.
…………
“You were discovered?” Freya looked surprised at Natural Bird.
Natural Bird nodded.
“And she came.” As soon as Natural Bird finished speaking, Yao Yifei Teleported in front of them with Espeon.
After Yao Yifei saw Natural Bird beside Freya, she knew Lu Li’s feeling wasn’t an illusion.
Yao Yifei curiously took out the Gym Leader special edition Pokédex and scanned Freya.
“Beep~ Data collection successful. Specific information has been retrieved.”
Freya
Birthplace: North American Alliance America Region.
Current occupation: Southern America Regional Heavenly King.
Trainer route: Psychic Attribute Trainer.
Recent activities: Submitted a visit application a few days ago, Asian Alliance approved, Jiuzhou Alliance approved, currently residing on the outskirts of Qingyun Mountain Range in the Southern Region.
“Heavenly King?”
Yao Yifei looked at the information on the Pokédex, her pupils shrinking, then asked solemnly, “What is Heavenly King Freya doing here?”
Freya answered irrelevantly, “You came for that youth, right?”
Yao Yifei also directly nodded.
“I’m very sorry about that incident. It was just an accident. Natural Bird was just curious about its neighbor.” Freya explained embarrassedly.
After all, this was someone else’s Territory. Freya didn’t want to conflict with the local Gym Leader.
Seeing that the other party had such a low attitude and had apologized, Yao Yifei could only warn unhappily, “You have already invaded the privacy of the person I protect. This time I came to warn you. If you do it again, I will report it to the Alliance.”
“Of course.”
Freya very cooperatively nodded, indicating she wouldn’t do it again. After all, this matter was originally Natural Bird’s independent action.
Yao Yifei also knew she couldn’t do anything to this woman. After figuring out the other’s identity, she knew this matter could only end like this.
However, to probe the other’s purpose for coming here, Yao Yifei asked in a very helpful tone, “Does Heavenly King Freya have any business here? Perhaps I can help you.”
“It’s not a big deal.”
Freya sighed, then beckoned.
Natural Bird silently Teleported between the two.
Freya explained, “My family’s Natural Bird’s mother went missing not long ago, then Natural Bird prophesied that its mother is in this Area, so we came to find Pokémon.”
Yao Yifei said, “Natural Bird? Then you should go to the Secret Realm deep within Qingyun Mountain Range, not here. I often go to Qingyun Mountain Range and haven’t found traces of Psychic Type Pokémon.”
“There is a Secret Realm deep within Qingyun Mountain Range?”
Freya looked somewhat surprised at Yao Yifei.
She had no connections in the Jiuzhou Region. Coming here alone, she handled everything personally and really didn’t know about the Secret Realm deep within Qingyun Mountain Range.
Yao Yifei nodded: “This isn’t any secret. Many people in the Elite Trainer circle know this information. There is also a temporary Gathering Place outside that Secret Realm.”
“Thank you! This news is very important to me.” Freya sincerely thanked.
Yao Yifei smiled back, “No problem, glad I could help.”
“Then I’ll take my leave first.” After Yao Yifei finished speaking, she left with Espeon.
After Yao Yifei left, Freya excitedly asked, “Natural Bird, do you think Uncle and the others might be in that Secret Realm?”
“Very likely. If they were in the real world, Mom and the others should have contacted us long ago.” Natural Bird answered via Telepathy.
Freya directly decided, “Then we’ll rest today and go check that Secret Realm tomorrow.”
Natural Bird nodded.
“By the way, why did you spy on that youth just now?” Freya asked curiously.
Natural Bird said, “That youth has a unique attraction on him. He is very special.”
Freya was somewhat surprised: “Special? Could it be a Psychic?”
Natural Bird shook its head: “Not necessarily a Psychic. I’m not clear on the specific situation.”
“If you can’t figure it out, then ignore him. Don’t forget our purpose.” Freya didn’t dwell on whether Lu Li was special or not.
After all, there were many special people in this world, and it was normal to encounter one occasionally.
Natural Bird was silent for a moment then also nodded.
As a Pokémon with intelligence not inferior to humans, Natural Bird also knew that this was someone else’s Territory after all. They had come across Alliances to find people, which was already quite difficult. There was really no need to stir up new incidents.
…………
After Yao Yifei returned, Lu Li asked with concern, “Are you okay?”
Yao Yifei shook her head and said, “The other party is a Heavenly King. Luckily she had no intention of fighting, otherwise things would have been bad.”
“Heavenly King Trainer!!!”
Lu Li’s mouth twitched slightly.
Strictly speaking, he hadn’t even left the novice stage yet, so why was he encountering these late-stage bosses?
Lu Li nervously asked, “Then do you know what she came here for?”
Yao Yifei: “She has a Natural Bird with her, which is the one that was spying on you just now.”
Lu Li nodded, signaling Yao Yifei to continue.
“They came to find Natural Bird’s mother. Natural Bird is a Pokémon with strong prophecy Talent. It prophesied that its mother is in this Area.
But I think they might be looking in the wrong place. I told them about the Secret Realm deep within Qingyun Mountain Range. They will probably go there soon.”
After hearing Yao Yifei’s explanation, Lu Li nodded thoughtfully.
Natural Bird…
Lu Li could be very certain that there was absolutely no Natural Bird in this Area.
No.
Lu Li suddenly had a flash of insight.
“Does Natural Bird’s mother also have a Trainer?” Lu Li hurriedly asked.
Yao Yifei nodded.
Then she took out her Phone and opened the character Illustration Book, saying, “Freya is a state Heavenly King in America. Her Natural Bird is also her Starter Pokémon, and Natural Bird was given to her by her uncle.”
After Yao Yifei finished, she handed the Phone to Lu Li: “Look, her uncle is also a famous person.”
Lu Li who took the Phone looked at the character information on the Phone, his pupils shrinking.
Time Doctor!!!
To be precise, that Doctor should be called Dr. Raymond.
Lu Li whose breathing became a bit rapid scrolled up a few times.
Dr. Raymond went missing on ** July 12.
That means six months ago…
But the problem is that that Time wasn’t in that Secret Realm for nearly a hundred years? That Primeape is iron proof.
Timeline chaos?
Or…
Wait.
At that time, the Secret Realm hadn’t connected to the real world yet. The time inside was a separate system. Although Time Doctor did go missing 6 months ago.
But that Time Doctor had stayed nearly a hundred years in the Secret Realm, meaning that Doctor wasn’t from the future or distant past, but a modern person.
If that’s the case, then things are troublesome.
As a Transmigrator, Lu Li wasn’t too clear on what kind of Opportunity that Secret Realm was.
If it was before the Secret Realm connected to the real world, that Heavenly King could only return empty-handed even if searching. The current problem is that the Secret Realm has already connected to reality.
Even the hiding of that Secret Realm Entrance was done by Natural Bird.
Before, he was curious who deliberately hid that Entrance. Now the truth is clear: among Time Doctor’s Pokémon, there was only one Psychic Type Pokémon, which was Natural Bird.
If that Natural Bird senses its daughter, the Secret Realm might be exposed at that time.
That’s still the best case. If worse, that Heavenly King might even silence him, after all, he knows about that Secret Realm and has seen that Notebook.
The gift Destiny gave two months ago finally came to collect the debt after these two months.
“What to do?”
Lu Li nervously chose a countermeasure in his heart.
Report this matter to the Alliance? Or cooperate with Qu Suxin?
Lu Li didn’t want to choose either of these options.
“Sister Yao, do you know that Heavenly King’s strength?” Lu Li asked.
Yao Yifei said without thinking, “Heavenly King Level, and probably Beginner Heavenly King.”
Freya herself is a Psychic, and a powerful one at that. Plus her Family power is not weak. The other party is even younger than her and already a Heavenly King.
Lu Li added, “But the other party probably only has one Heavenly King Level Pokémon, that Natural Bird.”
Hearing this, Lu Li also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
If it’s this kind of “pseudo Heavenly King,” then it’s not yet to the point of being at the end of one’s rope.
