On the vast and blue ocean, there was an island where spring reigned throughout the year. On the beach by the island, two people were lying on beach chairs, soaking up the sun.
Xia Huna tilted his head to look at Shen Yu, who was lying on the other chair. "So, you're just going to follow me and live in seclusion like this, is that okay? How did your uncle and aunt agree to it?"
Shen Yu grinned and grabbed Xia Huna's hand. "Hehe, who told you to be the great hero who saved the Minglong Kingdom."
Xia Huna spread his hands. "To be honest, this whole thing didn't really have much to do with me in the end. My Rainbow Light Shuriken didn't agree to Arceus, after all."
As they spoke, Xia Huna and Shen Yu couldn't help but recall the "earth-shattering" battle that had just occurred.
...
Although the Rainbow Light Shuriken struck Arceus's head, causing considerable impact, Arceus, after taking the hit, collapsed to the ground. However, it wasn't long before it got back up, shaking its body.
Xia Huna observed from a distance with his system. Arceus's health was plummeting, but it miraculously locked its health at just a few points before it was completely depleted. Xia Huna's heart sank into an icy abyss; his entire body felt as if it had been hit by absolute zero. Arceus raised its head, preparing to counterattack. Just then, a pink figure appeared in front of Xia Huna. "Alright, little Xia, you've done well. Leave the rest to us."
Upon seeing the pink silhouette, Xia Huna excitedly reached out and grabbed its tail. "Mewtwo, why are you only arriving now!"
Mewtwo, with its tail grabbed, swatted Xia Huna's hand away. "Go on, stop messing around. We have important matters to attend to now. Believe it or not, I can deal with you first, Sister Meng."
As Mewtwo spoke, it pointed to a mischievous-looking Pokémon beside it. "You should know who this is..."
"Hoopa, were you late because you were looking for him?"
Mewtwo rubbed its tail. "Something like that. After all, we all live in different corners of the world. This was the only way to gather everyone quickly." Mewtwo then turned its head. "Hoopa, it's up to you."
Hoopa, while playing with its halo, tore open two portals. From the other side of the portals emerged dozens of various Pokémon. Even Xia Huna, who had witnessed grand spectacles in movies, felt an unprecedented pressure from the Legendary Pokémon at such close proximity for the first time.
Mewtwo held a ball of Aura Sphere in its hand. "Leave the Pokémon matters to us Pokémon. Humans should handle human affairs for now."
After speaking, Mewtwo led its friends to surround Arceus. Xia Huna turned to look at Meng Tianya. "Old Meng, she's right. Now is the time for us to resolve human matters."
Meng Tianya sighed and prepared himself mentally. Then, he walked over to bring several old men to justice. The old men, seeing the powerful reinforcements on Xia Huna's side, were filled with apprehension. Although they still had great faith in Arceus's strength, they had to prepare a backup plan.
However, before these men could even find an escape route, they were already surrounded by Meng Tianya and the others.
...
Xia Huna shrugged. "I don't care how the new Pokémon League dealt with those old men. I just hope they don't cause too much trouble for Meng Tianya."
As he spoke, Xia Huna suddenly thought, "If I remember correctly, today should be Meng Tianya's inauguration ceremony. Let's go and watch it. I wonder if the signal on this island is any good."
With that, Xia Huna stood up, taking Shen Yu with him, and headed back to the villa to watch Meng Tianya's inauguration ceremony. Although the small wooden house from before was still on the island, it was quite far away.
Shen Yu held Xia Huna's hand. "Forget it, the TV at home has your controller plugged into it, so it can't watch the news. Let's use our phones."
Shen Yu picked up a phone from a small table nearby, unlocked it, and started browsing the news. To his surprise, he saw that Meng Tianya's inauguration ceremony in the live broadcast had already ended long ago. Shen Yu looked at the time displayed on his phone. "That's not right. The time he told us shouldn't have passed yet."
Xia Huna heard this, turned his head to look at a small black dot approaching from the distant sea, and pointed at it. "They should be on that boat. I can't believe he thought of tricking us with a false time and then launching a surprise attack with people. Look, there are definitely a lot of people on that boat."
As they were speaking, the boat drew closer. Xia Huna recognized the figures on the bow of the ship. Zhang Hong stood at the front, embracing Yu Tingyun from behind, striking a Titanic pose. Mu Zhishui beside them covered his mouth and chuckled, while Zheng Xiaoxiao and Tong Ruo leaned against the railing, watching the scene. Xia Huna gazed from afar. "I knew it."
The ship gradually docked, and led by Mu Zhishui, everyone disembarked. Tong Ruo saw Xia Huna and jokingly said, "Yo, Xia Xia, you really know how to escape to enjoy some peace and quiet. Have you forgotten that you're still a teacher at our Six Ridges University?"
Xia Huna rested his chin on his hand. "Didn't I submit my resignation?"
Tong Ruo nodded. "Yes, you submitted your resignation, but we didn't approve it."
The people from the ship disembarked one by one. Xia Huna clicked his tongue. "Wait, where's A'Du? By his personality, he wouldn't miss something like this."
Meng Tianya had a sly smile. "The Chairman of the League is absent. What happens if League affairs come to a standstill? Someone has to keep an eye on things, otherwise, there will be chaos."
Xia Huna also smiled, thinking to himself that it would be strange if A'Du stayed there without any trouble. Suddenly, Xia Huna had a premonition, looked up at the sky, and saw another small black dot flying towards them. Xia Huna nudged his chin in that direction. "Look at you, leaving A'Du in Linglong City. He's flying over on a Charizard."
Meng Tianya looked at Yu Longdu in the sky. "Never mind. Let him come if he wants. I hope he's arranged his work properly."
Before the Charizard could land, A'Du leaped off and landed beside Xia Huna. "Old Xia, are you planning to live out your retirement like this?"
"Have you arranged your work properly?" Meng Tianya asked Yu Longdu with a stern tone. Yu Longdu thumped his chest. "Don't worry, while I'm away, Wei Chiting and Chu Xiaodie are keeping watch. If anything truly goes wrong, they'll call me, and I can deal with it right here with you."
The group bickered on the beach. Xia Huna tidied up the beach chairs. "Alright, everyone, come home with me. It's not proper to block the beach like this. I was prepared in advance, so you can all experience Little Meng's culinary skills."
After a satisfying meal, Xia Huna and the others sat in the living room to rest. However, the world was not about to grant humans any peace. Not long after they sat down, Yu Longdu's phone rang. Yu Longdu answered and heard Chu Xiaodie's voice on the other end. "It's bad! Just now, the various secret realms we are monitoring suddenly showed intense energy reactions. Do you think you should come back?"
Everyone heard clearly what Yu Longdu was saying on the phone. Meng Tianya and Yu Longdu stood up. "No peace. It seems we can only stay here."
Just as they were about to leave, Mu Zhishui's phone also rang. Mu Zhishui answered the video call and saw Cai Rou on the screen, excitedly exclaiming, "Teacher, the Pokémon egg you brought last time has hatched! Come and see."
With that, Cai Rou turned the camera, allowing Mu Zhishui, Xia Huna, and Shen Yu to see the cute little Pokémon that had just hatched and was now resting in the incubation equipment.
The small white creature was fluffy and exceptionally adorable. Upon seeing this Pokémon, Xia Huna and Mu Zhishui stood up simultaneously. "Wooloo?"
Cai Rou in the video heard this and turned to look. "It's called Wooloo? I got it. Then, Teacher, when will you and Shen Yu come to pick her up?"
Shen Yu looked at Xia Huna. Xia Huna smiled. "Of course, we'll go now."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Huna sighed. "It seems the transition to a new Pokémon era is about to begin."
Shen Yu looked at Xia Huna. "So, you can't stay idle, can you?"
Xia Huna put on an outer jacket. "If I can't stay idle, then I won't be idle for now. Let me cause some trouble one more time."
