Time rewinds back to five minutes earlier.
In the Prism Tower studio in Lumiose City, the capital of the Kalos region, Pachira, one of the Kalos League's Elite Four and the leading female broadcaster for the television station, is presenting today's news report.
She has also invited Dr. Platane, the foremost Pokémon researcher in the Kalos League, who has been involved in the development of Mega Evolution.
At the beginning of the news, Pachira sits elegantly on the left side of the platform, resting her hands on the table and facing the camera, saying:
"Hello everyone, welcome to tonight's Lumiose Evening News. Recently, news has come from the Kanto region that Dr. Su Sheng and a student who graduated from Celadon University in Kanto have jointly researched a Pokémon transfer device. Now, let's have Dr. Platane explain this invention, which Lien-Nal calls 'epoch-making'."
Next to the broadcasting table, there is a transfer device on display.
Since the transfer device invented by Bill was modified by Su Sheng, the league immediately distributed the device to various regions.
Kalos naturally has it as well.
"No problem."
Platane smiles and rises, takes a Poké Ball from his white coat pocket, and places it in the semi-circular groove in the center of the transfer device, which is clearly designed to hold Poké Balls.
"First, put the Pokémon you want to transfer in the ball and place it here, then contact the other party. For example, I now want to exchange my Garchomp for my assistant Alain's Pokémon."
As he speaks, Platane dials a number.
"Hello, Alain, you're at the Pokémon Center in Lumiose City right now, right? Could you please exchange Pokémon with me?"
"Okay, thank you."
After hanging up, Platane faces the camera again and says:
"Have the other party also put the Poké Ball on the transfer device, and then press the button."
After speaking, Platane presses the transfer button in front of the groove.
A flash of light lands on the Poké Ball.
Platane picks up the Poké Ball and gently throws it.
Appearing is a Charmeleon, the evolved form of the Kanto starter Charmander!
Many Kalos citizens in front of the television are in an uproar.
Platane smiles slightly, puts Charmeleon back into the ball, and places it back.
He presses the button a second time.
He picks up the Poké Ball again and throws it.
This time, Garchomp appears.
"This is indeed an epoch-making invention."
Pachira exclaims.
Also in Lumiose City, in the reception room of the Kalos League headquarters building.
Malva's brother, Bartz, is also watching the news live, occasionally revealing a silly "hehe" smile.
He thinks, my girlfriend is so beautiful.
When the camera turns to Platane, Bartz even lowers his head to glance at the comments about Pachira from netizens on his phone.
Whenever he sees comments praising Pachira's beauty, figure, strength, and other aspects.
This little brother feels a great sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Hmph~ The goddess you can only fantasize about through the TV is my girlfriend!
"Oh, Mr. Bartz is here."
Just then, Siebold of the Kalos Elite Four, passing by the reception room, notices Bartz in the room through the slightly open door and greets him.
Because Bartz often comes to see Pachira, almost everyone in the Kalos League, from the champion to the security guards, knows who he is, although many employees are wondering if Pachira has gone crazy, dating such an unknown nobody.
But the Elite Four, who are colleagues, and Diantha, as the champion, didn't say anything.
After all, this is someone else's private matter.
It's just that they never expected Pachira, with her strong and mature appearance, to actually like this kind of younger, puppy-like type.
"Elite Four Siebold, long time no see."
Bartz gets up to greet him.
"How is your relationship with Pachira going?"
Siebold walks in with a smile and chats.
"We're planning to go to the movies after Pachira gets off work."
Bartz's answer makes Siebold stunned.
He remembers that these two were dating and going to the movies half a year ago, right? Why is it still the same routine?
"Listen—I'm asking how far you've progressed, like ki—, holding hands, hugging, and stuff."
Siebold hesitates, but in the end, he doesn't say the explicit word "kissing".
"That—Pachira said she doesn't want to go too fast, so I, we haven't—"
Bartz is also a little embarrassed when this topic is brought up.
Siebold is numb.
They've been dating for half a year and haven't held hands?
What a bizarre relationship?
If he didn't know Pachira relatively well, Siebold would really suspect that the woman is a gold digger.
But they all know Bartz's background, there's nothing for Pachira to gain.
If that's the case, why is she keeping this young man hanging on?
Could it really be the legendary slow burn?
On the outskirts of the studio, Lysandre, who is watching live, narrows his eyes.
This thing is indeed convenient enough.
He can't help but think of the Destruction Cocoon that was taken away by Su Sheng.
If he could steal the thing from Su Sheng and then use the function of the transfer device.
He could bring the thing from Alola to Kalos in an instant.
But... the premise is that he can steal the thing.
Just as Lysandre is pondering.
Suddenly, a golden ring appears out of thin air in the studio, and also appears on the television screens of thousands of Kalos families.
"What is that thing?"
Many Kalos citizens are stunned.
And Pachira and Lysandre, who experienced the incident on Bellflower Island half a year ago and were present at the scene, suddenly shrink their pupils and immediately recognize this thing.
After all, they have personally experienced the function of this thing!
At the same time, on the top floor of the Celadon Game Corner in Kanto.
Looking at the golden ring portal with a chaotic center in front of him.
After a long while, Su Sheng and Giovanni exchange glances.
Giovanni: "Why isn't there any movement?"
Su Sheng blinks and says: "Although it has the ability to summon mythical beasts, Hoopa can only summon Pokémon that are willing to come—but this shouldn't be happening with Xerneas."
Unlike the unbound Hoopa, which can control mythical beasts and forcibly use them as its claws, the confined Hoopa doesn't have that kind of control ability.
It can only, and only dares to, summon the mythical beasts that are willing to help. In fact, during the Ragnarok War, many viewers complained that the summoned Latias and Latios siblings were simply useless, relying entirely on Black Rayquaza to carry the team.
But in reality, Hoopa doesn't have much choice.
After all, it can't control minds.
It can only call Black Rayquaza, the dragon siblings, and other good-tempered legends to help.
And Xerneas is naturally one of the choices, but it's not showing up—it doesn't fit that saintly deer's personality.
"Could it have turned into the Eternal Flower again?"
Su Sheng guesses.
But that's not right, Xerneas didn't fight with Yveltal before, and it didn't expend too much life force saving people.
It shouldn't have fallen asleep so quickly.
"Hoopa, give it a try!"
Hoopa's blue eyes shine even brighter, urging its psychic power to try to pull the target over.
And while Hoopa is exerting force, in the Lumiose TV studio.
A suction force, like an invisible hand, envelops Pachira, who was originally sitting in front of the broadcasting table, forcibly pulling her up and constantly dragging her towards the golden ring.
The Fire-type Elite Four's expression changes drastically, her first reaction is to press her right hand on her belt, while her left hand takes out a Poké Ball and throws it.
It is Delphox, the final evolved form of the Kalos starter Fennekin.
Delphox also waves its wand-like branch, pulling its owner a distance away, freeing her from Hoopa's psychic restraints.
"This, this thing, could it be——"
Platane, as an eyewitness, is stunned and vaguely guesses what the golden ring is.
And in the Celadon Game Corner building, Hoopa says to Su Sheng: "Sheng, Xerneas has broken free from my psychic power."
Hearing this, an idea涌起in Su Sheng's mind—it really is Xerneas.
"I'll go take a look."
Su Sheng decides.
"Sheng, don't forget that Hoopa is 'Su Sheng's' Pokémon."
Giovanni reminds him.
Su Sheng nods, puts the black-framed glasses clipped to his chest pocket back on, and walks into the portal.
And under the eyes of thousands of viewers, Su Sheng is seen walking out of that strange portal.
"It really is Hoopa's ability!"
Platane exclaims, and a look of "as expected" appears in his eyes.
And Lysandre and Pachira simultaneously have the same word in their hearts—oh no!
"Where is this——
Seeing the environment in front of him, Su Sheng is also stunned.
Is this the studio?
Would Xerneas be here?
Su Sheng's gaze sweeps over everyone present, and finally lingers on Pachira, who released Delphox, for two seconds, with a thoughtful expression.
"Doctor, why did you come here? And with Hoopa's ability."
Platane asks curiously.
"Oh, I came because—
Having roughly guessed the reason, Su Sheng doesn't plan to hide his purpose.
The ability of Hoopa to summon mythical beasts is indeed a bit troublesome once exposed, but now Malva and Hoopa have moved to Alola, and he is confident in protecting them.
Secondly, this is not something that needs to be hidden.
It's just asking Xerneas to help cure a disease.
Of course, Su Sheng can't say that the patient is Giovanni.
Plop!
Before Su Sheng can say a few words, he suddenly feels a pleasant scent from his nose, and at the same time, a soft body enters his embrace.
Big!
Really big!
At least it's the biggest Su Sheng has ever felt in this life.
And nearly eight-figure viewers in front of the television simultaneously widen their eyes.
In the screen, the Fire-type Elite Four of the Kalos League directly pounces into Su Sheng's arms.
In the Alola region, in the Malie Community Center on Ula'ula Island.
Ryuki, the gym leader, directly spits out the chocolate cake he just stuffed into his mouth onto the screen.
What the hell?
When did these two get together?
In Ash's house in Pallet Town.
Professor Oak exclaims: "What the hell! What the hell! These young people!"
Ash asks curiously: "Professor, what are they doing?"
Delia covers her youngest son's eyes, "Children can't watch!"
In the newly built Indigo Plateau headquarters.
Chairman Goodshow is dumbfounded, "Are these Kalos League people so quick to act?"
Damn, this Pachira has a bit too much overlap with Lorelei's attributes.
Both are glasses-wearing and have devilish figures.
The old man feels that Lorelei is getting less and less of a chance.
And in the reception room of the Kalos League headquarters, also located in Lumiose City.
In the reception room of the Kalos League headquarters.
Elite Four Siebold and Wikstrom look strangely at Bartz sitting next to them.
This young man's face is green.
Wikstrom, who just entered the room to join the chat, points to Pachira hugging Su Sheng on the screen and whispers: "What, what's going on?"
"What else could be going on? He got cuckolded."
Siebold looks at Bartz with schadenfreude.
At this moment, he seems to see this young man growing a red nose.
And seeing Pachira hugging Su Sheng on TV, Bartz only feels a little breathless.
But it's not over yet.
In the TV, Su Sheng looks at Pachira with a dumbfounded expression and asks: "What's wrong with yo—"
Su Sheng doesn't say the last word "illness", because a delicate finger has blocked his lips.
Seeing Pachira raise her hand and point her index finger on Su Sheng's lips, countless viewers can't help but reveal an auntie smile.
This scene is too perfect, it's more than enough to use as a poster for a romance movie.
"Really, people are still at work, are you so impatient to see me?"
Pachira's tone gives people goosebumps.
And Bartz, seeing this scene, feels like he's a Magikarp washed ashore, an increasingly serious sense of suffocation湧上his brain, and he's about to pass out.
"—, Elite Four Pachira, is Dr. Su Sheng here to see you?"
Platane finally recovers from the shock, but his eyes are still a little dull.
"Yes."
Pachira takes Su Sheng's arm, and uses those thunderous curves, which Su Sheng has seen, and are probably only inferior to Lorelei's, to sandwich his arm, smilingly saying:
"I told you I wouldn't get off work for a while, but this guy couldn't wait to come."
"Oh, oh, oh~", Platane says with a dawning expression, smiling with a "I ship it!" expression: "In the honeymoon phase, I understand, I understand, haha!"
Platane faces the camera, "Although there was a little accident, tonight's evening news ends here, thank you for watching, goodbye."
Seeing the cameraman turn off the camera, Pachira finally breathes a sigh of relief.
"Can you let go now?"
Su Sheng asks coldly.
Having stayed in the world of big thunder, bigger thunder, and super big thunder for a long time in his previous life, Su Lao Ye's willpower has been trained.
He didn't get an erection in front of the whole world.
He doesn't have the hobby of showing it to others, what if he makes the men of the Pokémon world feel inferior?
Pachira's face, which was just smiling like a flower, instantly turns into an iceberg, but noticing that Platane and others are still looking this way, she quickly shows a smile again, and throws a wink at Su Sheng, "I'll be waiting for you in the dressing room."
After speaking, Pachira quickly leaves the studio, and as she passes by Lysandre, the lion's head nods in praise: "Good job."
Although she didn't perfectly handle the matter, at least she avoided the worst-case scenario.
Hearing the lion's head's words, Pachira's face turns even darker.
I was taken advantage of, and that's your reaction!?
Pachira's pace quickens.
"Not bad, Doctor!"
Blatantor stepped forward and patted Su Sheng on the shoulder. "You quietly plucked one of the two most beautiful flowers of Carlos right under our noses!"
Before Su Sheng could answer, Blatantor remembered something else, pinching his sparsely stubbled chin and said, "But I also heard that Elite Four member Pachira was dating a young man from Aramia City—is that just a rumor?
Su Sheng smiled without answering, thought for a moment, and then shouted towards the gate, "Hoopa, put away the gate for now."
Hoopa, on the other side of the golden ring, heard Su Sheng's voice, and although curious about what was happening over there,
he obediently put away the golden ring.
"Uncle, can I go play games?
Hoopa, having nothing to do, turned to Sakaki and asked.
".—. Ah, you can."
Sakaki nodded.
What happened over there?
Sakaki wondered inwardly.
But with just Carlos, nothing can stump Sheng, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about.
Miare TV dressing room.
At this moment, Su Sheng and Pachira sat facing each other.
Su Sheng looked at the glamorous Fire-type Elite Four member in front of him and asked straightforwardly, "Elite Four Pachira, Xerneas is in your hands, isn't it?
Pachira didn't waste any words, took a Master Ball from her belt, and placed it on the coffee table between them.
Inside was Xerneas in its Eternal Tree form!
"...Was it defeated by you?
Su Sheng asked, narrowing his eyes.
It was impossible for Xerneas to have reverted because of excessive life force depletion.
After all, the egg of Yveltal, the number one troublemaker in Carlos, was still with him.
And in the Carlos region, the only one capable of defeating the Eternal God was the Flash Fire Team's top expert who had been hiding her strength.
Even Diantha didn't have that ability!
After all, in the manga, Pachira had a head-on confrontation with Diantha and had always been steadily superior to Diantha.
"I captured it fair and square, but I was a little heavy-handed, causing Xerneas to revert to this form."
Pachira said calmly.
This was a lie.
The truth was that although Pachira defeated Xerneas, the Eternal God saw through that Flash Fire Team was not good, and refused to serve Pachira.
This was different from the situation with Yveltal, who was captured by Pachira in the original story.
Under such circumstances, Pachira ultimately chose to severely injure Xerneas, causing it to revert to the Eternal Tree.
This way, at least the Eternal God would be quieter.
"That's quite an unexpected turn of events,"
Su Sheng crossed his legs and said amusingly, "Although Xerneas is not considered to be good at fighting among the top legends, it was actually defeated by an Elite Four member… no one would believe that if it were said out loud, right?
"Elite Four Pachira—oh no, your strength is far more than that of an Elite Four member, I should call you Miss Pachira."
Su Sheng continued, "Miss Pachira interrupted me just now, also wanting to prevent me from saying that Xerneas is in your hands, right?
Pachira's face turned dark.
That was indeed the case.
To be honest, the situation was too urgent at the time, and she couldn't think of any other way to stop Su Sheng other than that move.
Otherwise, would she, a Champion-level trainer, have to do such humiliating things?!
After a long silence, Pachira finally spoke again, "I, Pachira, just want to live a peaceful life, so although I captured Xerneas, I don't want my strength to be exposed. Could I trouble Dr. Su Sheng to keep it a secret for me?
A peaceful life?
What, did you also get a 'Boki' after seeing the 'Mona Lisa'?
"Oh, I see, then I'll take my leave first."
Su Sheng got up and prepared to leave.
Pachira was dumbfounded.
He, he wouldn't really believe that reason, would he?
To be honest, even Pachira herself didn't believe it!
But the problem was that she couldn't think of a better reason for the time being.
Just like when she stopped Su Sheng from revealing the secret that Xerneas was in her possession at the recording studio, Pachira had no other way except to temporarily shut Su Sheng's mouth with her beauty.
The main reason was that Pachira didn't know that Su Sheng wasn't in a hurry to get Xerneas right now.
After all, Kiyo also said that Sakaki's condition wouldn't worsen within three years.
And now that Xerneas was in a dormant state, it was useless to take it away.
So Su Sheng was too lazy to bother with Pachira.
Speaking of which, was the program just now recorded or broadcast live?
Can it be cut off?
