Chapter 124: Goal, Kyurem!
Watching Elif’s figure depart, Lei Wen slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
It was late at night, and the territory was brightly lit.
Lei Wen stood by the window on the second floor, gazing out at the entire town, an unparalleled sense of satisfaction welling up from the bottom of his heart.
The light from the kerosene lamps shone out from the windows of every household. The residents should be sitting around the dinner table at this very moment, sharing dinner with their families and Pokémon.
The wild Pokémon living within the town have likely also filled their bellies, curled up in the grass, on roadside benches, or on rooftops, sleeping soundly.
Within the town, everywhere was a vibrant and bustling scene of prosperity.
And outside the town lay swathes of Pokémon Ranch and Farmland.
The ranches were raising various Pokémon that could produce agricultural and sideline products like Honey and Wool, while the crops in the fields were growing strong with the help of Sandshrew, Drilbur, and Sandshrew.
These Berry Orchards, Ranches, and Farmland provided the material foundation for the entire territory, maintaining people’s daily needs.
Now, his territory was finally slowly getting on the right track!
Lei Wen let out a sigh of relief.
Next, the focus would be on vigorously developing the town’s internal facilities, encouraging commercial development, and constructing essential infrastructure such as Pokémon Centers, Hospitals, Shops, and Academies, as well as Nurseries for hatching Pokémon Eggs and caring for Pokémon.
In addition, the Poké Balls made by Morik needed to expand their production scale.
Because once the town was fully built, Lei Wen decided to officially popularize “Trainer culture” among the residents of the territory. He would use the Pokémon Eggs raised in the Nurseries and distribute them to the children in the territory, attempting to cultivate the first batch of Pokémon Trainers of this era.
Trainers also played a crucial role in the development of the territory.
Besides serving as a combat force to protect the town, the profession of Trainer could also be very useful in daily life.
The Army had its duties, and ordinary Trainers had their roles.
For example, if an ordinary Commoner wanted to interact with or raise a certain Pokémon, but could not do so with their own strength alone.
At such times, the task could be entrusted to a Trainer, borrowing their strength to interact with the desired Pokémon.
In addition, these Trainers could also help resolve incidents of Pokémon causing trouble or rioting within the town.
Previously, the number of Pokémon in the territory was small, so such incidents rarely occurred.
But now, as the number of Pokémon in the territory increased, the probability of them going out of control or rioting also increased.
Lei Wen silently charted the course of future development in his mind.
Just then, he heard Dragonair’s voice from behind him.
“Wuu?”
Turning around, Lei Wen saw Dragonair, Larvesta, Victini, and several Poffins peeking their heads out from outside the study room.
Seeing them like this, Lei Wen immediately understood.
They had come to urge him to go to bed because he was taking too long to return to the room!
“Alright, I’m coming!”
Lei Wen simply finished his ablutions and got into bed after taking off his clothes.
Seeing him return, the group of Pokémon by his side happily ran to their respective spots.
Five Poffins slept haphazardly at the foot of the bed.
Servine lay on the carpet by the bed.
Dragonair curled up to Lei Wen’s left.
Larvesta was perched on Lei Wen’s stomach.
Victini watched the scene with a face full of curiosity, then unceremoniously flew into Lei Wen’s blanket, burrowed into his embrace, only revealing its head, and thoughtfully pulled the blanket up for itself.
“Nini~!”
Surrounded by a group of Pokémon, Lei Wen felt both happy and troubled.
How wonderful it would be if everyone could huddle together for warmth and sleep in winter.
But now it was already June, and the temperature was gradually rising, with hints of summer approaching.
Sleeping crowded together at such a time, Lei Wen only felt unbearably hot.
Especially since Larvesta naturally had a high body temperature, Lei Wen often woke up in the middle of the night during these evenings, and upon touching his back, he would be covered in sweat.
Especially since there were no air conditioners in this era, Lei Wen couldn’t even imagine what it would be like when summer arrived.
Ah, if only he could kidnap that Articuno from the Snow Mountain to act as an air conditioner! Lei Wen couldn’t help but fantasize.
If that wasn’t possible, then encountering a Gengar would be good too!
It was a shame that since his transmigration, Lei Wen hadn’t encountered many Ghost Type Pokémon.
However, speaking of Ice Type Pokémon… the figure of Kyurem couldn’t help but resurface in Lei Wen’s mind.
Previously, his strength was limited, and he was no match for Kyurem at all.
But in the past few months, he had been putting the Pokémon around him through rigorous special training.
According to the progress, Lei Wen felt that Servine was close to evolving into Serperior.
Dragonair was still some distance away from evolving into Dragonite.
As for Larvesta, it would likely take much longer to evolve.
But then again.
As a Mythical Pokémon, could Victini be a match for Kyurem?
Lei Wen glanced at Victini’s move panel; the moves it had mastered were truly impressive.
Such as Ember, Unknown Move, Psycho Cut, Inferno, Flamethrower, Psychic, V-Flame…
But based on Victini’s information, it was clearly more inclined towards support than battle.
It was said that Victini was a Pokémon that brought victory, and it was rumored that Trainers who carried Victini would win any battle.
This Pokémon could generate infinite Energy within its body. Victini could share this Energy with whatever it touched. If a Pokémon received the infinitely generated Energy shared by Victini, its entire body would be filled with Power.
Lei Wen carefully recalled the memories of the original owner, but unfortunately, he found no scenes of Victini battling within them.
After a moment of thought, he decided to directly ask the Pokémon in question.
“Victini.”
“Nini?” Having slept through the afternoon, Victini had no sleepiness. Hearing Lei Wen call it, it immediately flew up.
“I want to ask you a question,” Lei Wen said.
“Nini!” Victini happily patted its chest with its small hand, asking, “Ask away! I’ll tell you anything!”
“It’s like this, I want to know, are you good at battling with other Pokémon?” Lei Wen asked.
“Nini?” Battle?
Victini paused, it carefully recalled its past, then nodded enthusiastically, “Nini!”
Of course! It had never lost a battle it had fought!
It’s just… why was Lei Wen suddenly asking about this?
“Nini?” Victini’s small face showed some confusion.
Lei Wen sighed, resting his arm on his pillow, and explained, “My elder brothers are about to start a war. I heard that there are two Legendary Pokémon standing by their side: the Truth Dragon Reshiram and the Ideal Dragon Zekrom.”
“Their strength is immense, far beyond that of ordinary Pokémon. At such a time, with our strength alone, we would basically be no match for them.”
“Nini…” Victini’s eyes were filled with determination: “Nini!”
No matter what, it would definitely protect Lei Wen!
Even though the opponent was terrifying, it would still give its all!
Seeing Victini’s demeanor, Lei Wen couldn’t help but chuckle, “I’m not asking you to fight on the battlefield.”
“Nini?”
“I want to ask you for a favor,” Lei Wen said slowly. “I heard that within the Kingdom, besides Reshiram and Zekrom, there is also a dragon named Kyurem. Its strength is no less than that of Reshiram and Zekrom. So I thought, if we could gain its approval, we would have the strength to fight against my elder brothers.”
