Zhong Lixuan's voice came from behind, tinged with a hint of teasing.
"At least... don't let Rayquaza demolish any more buildings."
Li Chen paused, turned around, and gave him a lazy smile.
"Try your best."
......
......
Soon, Li Chen returned to Rongcheng.
As I pushed open the door of the old house in Rongcheng, the wind chimes on the eaves rang out their familiar, crisp sound.
"Uncle Xin—"
Li Chen's voice startled the cooing pigeons in the corner of the courtyard. Amidst the fluttering of their wings, the middle-aged man in the rattan chair suddenly looked up, almost dropping the purple clay teapot in his hand.
"You brat!"
Xin Changsheng rushed over in three steps, his calloused hands first patting the boy's shoulder heavily, then suddenly pulling him into his arms.
The sun-bleached blue shirt still carried the fishy smell of bait, which inexplicably reminded Li Chen of the night when he was fourteen years old, when he was carried home in the pouring rain.
Is the universe fun?
When he released his grip, the middle-aged man deliberately pointed to the backyard with a stern face.
The Sky-Siding was perched above the vegetable patch, its tail tip nervously covering the flattened tomato trellis.
Mewtwo floated in mid-air, using its psychic powers to give each of the trembling Sunflowers a fruit as an apology.
Li Chen smiled and took out an iridescent scale, handing it over: "This is for you."
The scales shimmered with iridescent light in the setting sun, making the old detective's eyes redden.
He suddenly turned and walked towards the kitchen, the stainless steel basin clanging loudly as he chopped it.
In the shadows under the eaves, Li Chen quietly wiped his face. His fingertips touched warm marks that even Gyarados's reverse scales couldn't scratch.
Xin Changsheng's hand holding the kitchen knife suddenly stopped, and her shoulders, which were turned away from Li Chen, trembled slightly.
Steam rose from the stove, blurring the wrinkles around his eyes.
"That kid back then..."
His voice seemed to come from a very far place.
"He can't even tame his own Pokémon; they always get thrown into the lake..."
"I have to row the boat to retrieve them."
The rhythm of the knife on the cutting board suddenly slowed, and the pungent aroma of onions filled the kitchen. Through the rising steam, you could see him raise his hand and vigorously wipe his face.
"Compared to your father, you are already capable of standing on your own."
The cleaver chopped down hard, splitting open the crab's hard shell.
"Even the Sky Thrower obediently listens to you."
The dragon god outside the window seemed to have heard this, and with the tip of its tail, it ingratiatingly brought over a few freshly picked tomatoes.
Mewtwo hovered at the kitchen doorway, carefully using its psychic powers to catch the soy sauce bottle that Xin Changsheng had accidentally knocked over.
Li Chen gazed at that familiar figure from behind.
The broad shoulders that once could subdue a flying dragon with one hand now appear somewhat thin in the shadow of the range hood.
"Uncle Xin".
Upon hearing this, Xin Changsheng suddenly grabbed two cloves of garlic and began peeling them.
"next time..."
Garlic peels fluttered into the trash can.
"I'll take you fishing at the Dragon Spiral Tower."
The faucet was turned up to the maximum, and the rushing water drowned out some sobs.
Only Mewtwo, floating outside the window, saw the chef wiping his eyes vigorously with the hem of his apron...
Xin Changsheng abruptly turned off the faucet, water droplets dripping from his knuckles. He grabbed a rag and wiped his face haphazardly, his eyes still red as he turned away, but his familiar serious expression had already hardened.
"You brat..."
The spatula in his hand was pointed directly at Li Chen's nose, the oil stains glistening in the setting sun.
"If my daughter suffers even the slightest injustice..."
The flames on the stove suddenly leaped up half a foot, making the wrinkles between his brows appear even deeper.
Just then, a guilty dragon roar came from outside the window. The tip of that guy's tail accidentally crushed Xin Yong's favorite rose trellis.
Mewtwo silently used its psychic powers to lift the flower stand, and incidentally stuffed an Energy Cube into Rayquaza's mouth to gag it.
"never mind."
Xin Changsheng stopped mid-sentence and instead sighed.
As he turned around, he also stirred the shrimp in the wok, the iron wok and spatula clanging together.
"Her favorite blue mandarin oranges... I've frozen three large boxes of them in the freezer..."
His voice grew softer and softer until it was almost drowned out by the fumes from the stir-frying. Li Chen saw him raise his arm and rub his eyes hard on his apron.
"I know, I will be good to Xinyong."
Li Chen said it from the bottom of his heart.
"No matter how many girls you've been involved with, remember to treat my daughter well..."
This is one of the few things Xin Changsheng can say.
"Ah."
Li Chen nodded slightly.
Afterwards, I had dinner with Xin Changsheng.
Home-style dishes.
It left Li Chen with a lingering sense of satisfaction.

Requesting more updates, free gifts, five-star review.
Chapter 637 Carlos Region, Tripartite Meeting?
In the Pokémon world, Li Chen returned to this place once again.
How should I put it now? It seems like it's okay to go anywhere.
In other words, the "first playthrough" is over.
Li Chen is currently playing on his second playthrough.
so......
Where should we go for our first stop in the second playthrough?
Li Chen touched his chin, seemingly unsure of where to go.
"Giratina, where do you think I should go?"
Li Chen squatted down and poked Giratina, who was bound like a dumpling by the chains of order.
The shadow dragon's tattered wings drooped listlessly, and its six scarlet eyes all turned to the other side, making it look like a grumpy cat boss.
"Any suggestions?"
He poked the dragon's horn, which was emitting blue smoke, again.
"For example, which region has the sweetest fruit?"
Giratina exhaled two puffs of purple smoke from its nostrils, deliberately turning the back of its head towards him. However, the movement was too large, and its bound tail accidentally knocked over the tea Mewtwo had just brewed.
Mewtwo's spoon slowly bent into a question mark shape in the teacup.
Rayquaza suddenly poked its head in, picked up Giratina's chain, and shook it, its whiskers twitching triumphantly—as if to say, "Beg me."
Giratina's six pupils suddenly contracted, and Shadow Wings trembled violently within the chains, with blinding purplish-black energy bursting from the gaps in its scales.
"roar--!!"
Its roar shook the surrounding space, and its bound tail slammed wildly against the ground, carving spiderweb-like cracks in the concrete.
How dare you—
A metallic, screeching roar exploded within the telepathic connection.
"Using me, the master of reversals, as a guidebook?!"
Liekongzuo gloated and spat out a breath of dragon fire.
Mewtwo silently reinforced the chains of order with its psychic powers, and incidentally added a mental barrier to the Pidgeys that were startled nearby.
Li Chen squatted down in front of it and waved his hand: "Could it be... you want to continue drifting as cosmic debris?"
Giratina's anger suddenly froze, because it saw Groudon and Kyogre blocking Li Chen's path from either side, each holding a... Reverse World travel brochure that they had somehow gotten their hands on?
In an instant, Giratina's six wings burst open with scales, and shadow energy gushed out of the wound like boiling tar.
Its chained body writhed violently, carving three deep furrows into the ground.
"Mere humans—"
The sound wave that erupted in the telepathic connection shattered all the rubble within a ten-meter radius.
"How dare they treat gods as...as..."
Its vocabulary seemed unable to find suitable insults, and in the end, it became so angry that it spat out a mouthful of blood...
The dark purple energy condensed into the two large characters "Shame" in mid-air, then fell onto his forehead with a thud.
Rayquaza was trying so hard to suppress his laughter that his whiskers were trembling, and as a result, Giratina lashed him on the nose with its tail.
Upon seeing this, Groudon and Kyogre immediately raised the brochure to cover their faces, but their trembling paws betrayed the fact that they were trying to suppress their laughter.
So, you've finally met your match, haven't you!
Mewtwo silently handed Giratina, who was rolling its eyes in anger, a cup of iced peach fruit tea, only to be swatted away by a claw.
The sight of the straw stuck in its forehead finally made Li Chen burst out laughing.
And then the next second—
The entire street heard the Shadow Dragon's furious roar:
"You bunch of bastards, just you wait—!!!"
......
......
Li Chen clapped his hands and glanced around at the noisy group of legendary Pokémon.
Rayquaza was using the tip of its tail to wrap around Giratina's chain.
Groudon and Kyogre are arguing heatedly over the ranking of "most beautiful inverted world attractions" in the brochure.
Mewtwo, on the other hand, does nothing.
"You guys have fun."
He took out the key stone and shook it.
"I'm going to Carlos for a coffee."
Before Giratina could even roar in protest, Li Chen had already leaped onto Rayquaza's back.
The black dragon shadow soared into the sky and disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye, leaving only a few drifting scales that slowly spun and landed.
