There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 164 Side Story - The Pokémon World

The Blue Planet is a world similar to Earth, home to countries like the Dragon Country, the Eagle Country, the Kimchi Country, and the Little Life Country.

Originally, this world was just an ordinary technological world, nothing special.

But decades ago, many cracks suddenly appeared on the planet Water Blue, and the other end of the cracks connected to various secret realms of different sizes.

With the appearance of the rift, a creature called Pokémon came to the Blue Planet from the secret realm, and natives also emerged from the secret realm.

At first, the humans on the planet Water Blue naturally regarded the suddenly appearing Pokémon and the native inhabitants of the secret realm as invaders and wanted to eliminate them.

Unexpectedly, these Pokémon possess special abilities, such as breathing water and fire, flying and burrowing, and can even trigger super natural disasters that ordinary firearms simply cannot handle.

The use of powerful weapons such as missiles would provoke retaliation from Pokémon, which are considered legendary Pokémon.

Just as the humans on the Blue Planet were suffering defeat after defeat, the humans in the secret realm brought with them the concepts of Poké Balls and Pokémon Trainers.

After decades of development, with the help of the native humans in the secret realm, the planet Water Blue has developed a unique Pokémon culture, with a dedicated Pokémon system, professions, and competitions.

In terms of national strength, they abandoned traditional firearms and instead used the strength of the Pokémon trainers they possessed as the standard for measuring national strength.

On this day, in a remote forest in the Blue Star Dragon Kingdom.

Suddenly, a crack several meters long appeared in the sky, and then a black figure fell from it, landing in the forest below.

"Damn Sky-Piercing Tree, how dare you trick me! Don't go back, or I'll definitely chop you down and burn you for firewood."

Hao Chen grumbled as he patted the dirt off his body, then curiously looked around at the world.

He originally planned to use the formation provided by the Sky-Supporting Tree to travel to the Dark Universe.

Unexpectedly, after he set up the formation, it activated automatically before he could even turn it on.

At this moment, Hao Chen knew perfectly well that he had been tricked, and that he had been tricked by Qingtian Tree and Chen Ying in concert.

Without warning, Hao Chen was teleported away by the formation.

Looking at the forest before him, Hao Chen was certain that he was no longer in the world of beasts, and that this was very likely not the Dark Universe either.

"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time. Just don't let me find my way back, or you'll be dead, Sky-Supporting Tree!"

Hao Chen randomly chose a direction, intending to leave the forest first and hopefully find someone to ask for directions to figure out where he was now.

Not long after Haochen left, they heard voices coming from ahead.

So Haochen quickly scurried into the bushes and hid to observe.

Under Hao Chen's gaze, a group of people walked over, led by a middle-aged man in military uniform.

Behind him were about twenty boys and girls, who, judging from their appearance, were probably in high school.

At this moment, the middle-aged man stopped and turned around, seemingly to speak to the group of teenagers.

However, Hao Chen was quite far away, and being in an unfamiliar environment, he didn't know if Chen Ying was nearby. Therefore, he didn't dare to use his divine power to listen to what the other person was saying, and thus he couldn't hear very clearly.

However, Hao Chen still heard about topics such as training camps, college entrance exams, and trainers.

"Should we go out?" Hao Chen wanted to go out and ask some questions, but he hesitated, afraid that he might scare the other person.

Just then, Hao Chen suddenly saw a young girl among the group of people walking alone into the depths of the forest after the middle-aged man finished speaking.

“A good opportunity. This little girl looks so gentle and weak, like she’s easy to bully, or rather, easy to talk to.”

Hao Chen quietly followed behind the girl, planning to wait until she was a little further away before coming out.

But before Hao Chen could act, he witnessed a scene that shocked him.

Suddenly, a giant bumblebee, about half the height of a person, flew out in front of the girl. The bumblebee's two forelimbs resembled two long spears.

"Holy crap, isn't that a big bee?"

Hao Chen was so surprised that he made a loud noise, which gave away his location.

Seeing that both the girl and the Beedrill were looking at the bushes where he was hiding, Hao Chen also walked out.

Upon seeing Hao Chen's appearance, the girl's eyes revealed surprise, and she quickly took out something that looked like a cell phone and pointed it at Hao Chen.

"Unknown Pokémon, not recorded in the Pokédex!"

Hearing the sound from the girl's phone, Hao Chen's anxiety subsided.

"It seems I've come to the Pokémon world, but I don't know if this world is from the anime I've watched or something else."

At this moment, Hao Chen thought of the little fire dragon that called him "big brother" at the Deer Man Shop. Could it be that he brought it back from this world?

While Hao Chen was in a daze, he didn't notice that a girl was secretly approaching him.

The girl in Hao Chen's eyes was named Xia Lianxing, a senior high school student at Haishi No. 3 Middle School.

As a senior high school student, the school specially organized a training camp in the forest to help them achieve better results in the college entrance examination.

Xia Lianxing heard rumors that there was an unknown Pokémon, possibly a legendary Pokémon, in the Evergreen Forest.

So after her free time, she secretly slipped away and decided to try her luck deep in the forest.

Thinking that if he encountered an unknown Pokémon, he might be able to sell the information to the Pokémon Research Institute, thus providing him with the funds to raise Pokémon.

Therefore, upon seeing that Hao Chen's information was missing from her encyclopedia, Xia Lianxing's eyes showed a hint of nervousness, but more so excitement.

"Yay! The rumors were true after all. There really are unknown Pokémon in Evergreen Forest. Now I, Xia Lianxing, am truly blessed!"

When Xia Lianxing saw that Haochen didn't bare his teeth and instead looked like a fluffy little dog, her fear gradually subsided, and she even couldn't help but want to hug him.

"Om~Om~"

At this moment, feeling ignored, the Beedrill suddenly raised its spear and charged at Xia Lianxing from behind.

Hearing the commotion, Xia Lianxing turned around and looked at the long spear of the giant bee that was flashing with a cold light, and instantly felt her whole body tremble.

"Ah~" Xia Lianxing was so frightened that she fell to the ground and let out a piercing scream.

Upon hearing Xia Lianxing's voice, Hao Chen immediately snapped out of his daze: "Oh no, this little girl can't be hurt. I haven't gotten the question I want to ask yet."

Hao Chen's figure blurred instantly, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Beedrill.

Seeing that Beedrill was about to sting his twin pistols, Hao Chen remained calm, raised his right claw, and casually swung it at Beedrill.

In an instant, as if a hurricane had swept through, the Beedrill was sent flying backward and crashed into a tree.

Then the bee slid down the tree and lay motionless on the ground.

"Uh..." Xia Lianxing's mouth gaped open upon seeing this, somewhat incredulous: "Wow, so amazing, a peak elite Beedrill was knocked unconscious with a single slap."

"Ahem!" Seeing Xia Lianxing stunned, Hao Chen couldn't help but cough a few times before asking, "What's your name? Are you alright?"

"My name is Xia Lianxing. I'm from Haishi No. 3 Middle School, in Class 3 of Senior Three. My home is..."

Seeing that Xia Lianxing was explaining in such detail, Haochen interrupted her directly: "Stop, stop, stop. I didn't ask where your home is."

"Um, I've already told you my name, could you please tell me yours?"

When Hao Chen saw Xia Lianxing tugging at his clothes, looking shy, he couldn't help but think to himself, "With that kind of courage, how did she dare to come to the depths of the forest alone?"

Shaking his head, Hao Chen stopped thinking about it. To ensure smooth communication in the future, Hao Chen told Xia Lianxing his name: "You can just call me Hao Chen!"

"Haochen? What a strange name." Xia Lianxing rested her chin on her hand, then suddenly said in surprise, "Wait, Haochen, you can talk! I've never seen a Pokémon that can talk before. Say a few more words for me to hear."

Hao Chen: "..."

"No way, is your reaction time that slow? You're only just realizing I can talk." Hao Chen said, feeling speechless.

Xia Lianxing scratched her head awkwardly, but secretly she was delighted: "This Pokémon looks a bit dim-witted. It should be easy to fool."

Unaware that he had been labeled "easy to fool," Hao Chen was currently pondering how to ask Xia Lianxing questions so that she wouldn't realize he wasn't a Pokémon.

Yes, after much deliberation, Hao Chen decided to use the identity of an unknown Pokémon, which would make things easier for him.

But just as Hao Chen was about to ask a question, a huge explosion suddenly occurred in the center of the forest, and thick smoke rose up.
