Chapter 123: First Meeting With Lilia
But not every Pokémon can communicate with these seven Pokémon.
Only a very few, those called “Chosen by Heaven,” can borrow the power of these seven Pokémon.
The existence of these seven Pokémon would at least be Legendary level in Zuo Hang’s World, but the Aether world introduction says Alsteria has no Legendary Pokémon.
The reason for this conclusion might be that the observers who came to this world did not see the seven legends from the textbook with their own eyes, or perhaps these seven Pokémon died a long time ago, and Alsteria’s Pokémon are borrowing the power of the deceased Pokémon.
Zuo Hang opened the last textbook from third year high school. On the first page of the book, there were seven crests. Below each crest was a name that Zuo Hang was extremely familiar with.
——Gluttony, Lust, Greed, Rage, Melancholy（Sloth）, Envy and Pride.
Each of the seven sins has its corresponding attribute, and after the attribute, there is its corresponding Pokémon silhouette.
Electric, Fire-type, Dark Type, Normal, Ice, Dragon-type, Fighting Type.
Normal corresponds to Gluttony, Dragon-type to Lust, Dark Type to Greed, Fire-type to Rage, Ice represents Melancholy（Sloth）, Fighting Type to Envy, Electric to Pride.
The Pokémon silhouette behind each sin is pure black. Besides the textbook, Zuo Hang also checked various information, and no matter where, these seven Pokémon have only one general silhouette.
Zuo Hang looked at Pride’s silhouette and found it somewhat familiar. The black shadow looked like a Western dragon spreading its wings to take off, and one could clearly distinguish the head, wings, and tail.
“Pika! Pikachu~~!!” The Electric Mouse pointed at Pride’s silhouette and said.
“Right? I also think it looks like Little White Dragon.” Zuo Hang said.
“Little White Dragon? What is Little White Dragon?” A pleasant voice suddenly came from beside his ears.
Zuo Hang was surprised.
Having grown accustomed to Aether’s cold female AI voice, this normal female voice sounded like heavenly music to him.
Turning around, the golden long hair was even more dazzling than in the poster. The other party was very close to Zuo Hang, and when he turned, he just saw the girl’s heterochromatic eyes.
Just like his, deep brown.
A sudden sense of familiarity surged in his heart.
“Hey! You were just thinking something bad, weren’t you!” Lilia straightened up. Zuo Hang was sitting, Lilia was standing, so Lilia’s view down at Zuo Hang gave her the advantage in momentum.
“If you look at men with colored glasses, then probably all men in the world are dragons.”
The Dragon-type representing Lust.
Zuo Hang made a pun, and Lilia clearly understood it.
“Don’t take it so seriously, I was just joking. In comics, it’s always drawn like this—beautiful encounters always start from a misunderstanding.”
Lilia casually sat down across from Zuo Hang.
Zuo Hang bought business class, which was very spacious. Li Dong wasn’t a rich guy, but Zuo Hang, considering he wouldn’t stay too long, splurged all of Li Dong’s modest savings.
“Come on, tell me, what is Little White Dragon?” Lilia asked Zuo Hang curiously. She seemed like a very lively girl.
“Little White Dragon, huh.” Zuo Hang touched his chin. The legendary Pokémon of the two worlds shouldn’t be exactly the same. Even if they were, the names couldn’t be identical. But it was quite a coincidence—this world’s Pride was the real Pokémon Reshiram. If Zuo Hang said “Reshiram” as Li Dong…
——A poor loser knowing information that even many experts didn’t know would inevitably arouse suspicion about Li Dong’s identity.
Aether AI had warned Zuo Hang that if his observer identity was detected by this world, he would have to exit by “suicide.”
Opportunities to talk with Lilia were rare. As the hero who led people in the extinction end times, Lilia likely possessed Electric（Pride） power.
At this moment, Lilia’s interest in the “Little White Dragon” Zuo Hang mentioned also indirectly confirmed his guess.
To establish a connection with a trainer who mastered Pride’s power while ensuring Li Dong’s identity didn’t arouse suspicion, Zuo Hang was weighing in his mind a way to have both.
“Little White Dragon is the name of a move.” Zuo Hang said calmly.
“Move?” Lilia was puzzled.
“When a certain attribute reaches its extreme, it can produce form change. Pokémon change the form of moves according to their own will, thereby increasing the power of the moves. Little White Dragon is Pikachu’s Electric move.”
Zuo Hang casually petted the Electric Mouse in his arms.
Pikachu couldn’t help but let out a “purr~ purr~” moan.
“Form change? Pikachu? Pikachu is a Pokémon that’s very hard to break through base stats limits. This kind of Pokémon is naturally weak and lacks ambition. If it carries an Electric Seed, it might barely be able to match…”
Zuo Hang frowned.
Pikachu is naturally weak?
He had never heard such a statement.
Whether in reality or on Martial Fighting Star, Pikachu wasn’t considered a weak Pokémon at all. There’s even a meme about Electric Mouse in the trainer circle that’s widely circulated—”Sorry, did my being alive affect your performance?”
This meme comes from “Aura Hero Storm.”
At level 623, after the male protagonist helped Pikachu block a Fire Blast and was seriously injured, a certain good-for-nothing Electric Mouse that had been at level 623 suddenly awakened. Thunderbolt cleared the field indiscriminately, nearly ending the story in one move.
The protagonist didn’t die, but Pikachu thought he did, so the little mouse exploded.
The implication of this meme is that Pikachu is very strong. This kind of Pokémon doesn’t find it difficult to break through base stats limits and can even breakthrough continuously in moments of crisis.
Zuo Hang didn’t know why Lilia would say Pikachu is weak. This might be related to Alsteria’s power system, but no matter why, she had said it out loud.
You could say Zuo Hang is weak, but you can’t say Electric Mouse is weak. What trainers can’t tolerate most is others looking down on their Pokémon.
“Lightning Queen? Just relying on that Dragonite?? If I remember correctly, isn’t Dragonite the Pokémon that’s so weak it’s used as a road sign? This kind of Pokémon is naturally weak and lacks ambition. If it Mega Evolves, it might barely be able to match…”
“Used as a road sign? What are you talking about? If you want to mock back, at least find a more reliable reason.”
Lilia chuckled lightly, seemingly taking Zuo Hang’s mockery as a child’s stubborn retort.
Zuo Hang sighed.
This was the cultural difference between the two worlds.
The light on Dragonite’s tail can be seen from far away. On some congested road sections, you can often see Police Uncle with a Dragonite.
Looking at the cyberpunk-flavored city outside the car window… Zuo Hang suddenly realized how stupid what he just said was. Dragonite and this city were completely different styles. The Pokémon beside Police Uncle was a Magnemite, which can call companions from far away.
Alsteria’s public security isn’t very good. There’s no need for traffic police here. Having a Magnemite beside you makes it convenient for support in fights. The electric fields between Magnemite and Magnemite can attract each other, allowing for extremely powerful combination techniques.
In the original world, there was already a way to do 6v6 group battles with six Magnemite. Alsteria’s development of Magnemite combat methods should be more advanced than Zuo Hang’s World.
