Chapter 121: Pokémon Contest!
"Jirachi is a Pokémon of the Steel and Psychic type."
Looking at the star-shaped Pokémon in the picture, Lin Yu smiled.
The small, white body looked extremely cute.
Its head was shaped like a yellow star, with two blue-green wish tags attached to the front.
---
"When I first saw it, I thought it was very cute, like a star in the sky."
"I just didn't expect it to be so rare!"
Emperor Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, commented while admiring the image.
It was clear that he liked this Pokémon very much.
---
"My lord, what is so special about this mythical beast?"
Although Ying Zheng liked it, he was still the ruler of a vast empire.
He was even more curious about Jirachi's special abilities.
After all, Lin Yu had told him that Pokémon possessed many magical powers.
---
"What's so special about Jirachi?"
Lin Yu thought for a moment.
He remembered that in the Pokémon anime, Jirachi only woke up from its slumber once every thousand years.
To be sure, Lin Yu decided to ask the system!
After communicating with the system in his mind, he learned something surprising.
System-produced Jirachi would not fall into its thousand-year slumber unless under special circumstances!
---
DB...
Ying Zheng's luck is truly incredible.
---
"This Jirachi can help you make your wishes come true!"
Lin Yu said simply.
Of course, these wishes were not granted out of thin air.
There was always a price to be paid, depending on how outrageous the wish was.
For example, in the anime, a Team Magma scientist wanted Jirachi to create Groudon.
However, the Groudon that was created was just a monstrous imitation, not the real deal.
This showed that Jirachi's wishes were not absolute.
---
"What?"
"A wish-granting Pokémon?"
When Ying Zheng and Liu Hong heard this, they both shouted in shock.
Making a wish was a sacred and significant practice in ancient China.
They believed it was a way to communicate with the gods.
Otherwise, why would ancient rulers hold so many grand sacrifices and offerings?
---
"Will it really come true if you make a wish on it?"
Before Ying Zheng could even speak, Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, asked excitedly.
This ability sounded too incredible!
It was simply unimaginable!
---
"Yes, indeed!"
Lin Yu thought for a moment before answering.
---
"Immortal, is what you said true?"
"Are there really such fairy beasts in the world?"
At this moment, Ying Zheng's face was flushed with excitement, and his voice was trembling slightly.
---
"It's true, but there are some restrictions."
Seeing that the target was Qin Shi Huang, Lin Yu carefully chose his words.
After all, this was Qin Shi Huang.
His wishes would not be simple.
---
"For example," Lin Yu explained,
"You might wish for Qin's weapons, bows, and crossbows to have longer range, greater power, and be indestructible—capable of piercing enemy armor effortlessly."
"Or, you might wish for the Great Wall and the Epang Palace to be built instantly."
"Or, perhaps, you wish for Great Qin to have eternal prosperity,
with favorable weather and bountiful harvests forever."
"These wishes are not too extreme. Although they come with a certain price, they are still reasonable."
---
"YOU...!"
Before Lin Yu could continue, Ying Zheng and Liu Hong both shouted at the same time.
At this moment, their eyes were wide open in disbelief.
Were these wishes not already outrageous?!
---
Lin Yu was stunned when he saw their reactions.
---
"Have you ever thought about picking the stars and the moon?"
The two of them looked at Lin Yu blankly.
---
"Have you ever thought about destroying the world?"
The two of them shook their heads even harder, like rattles.
---
"Have you ever thought about leaving Earth and traveling into space?"
Earth? Space?
The two rulers exchanged confused glances, completely clueless about what Lin Yu was talking about.
They shook their heads again.
---
DB...
Alright, I guess I'm the crazy one here.
---
"Wishes like these are truly outrageous."
"If you make such wishes to Jirachi, it could lead to disastrous consequences."
Lin Yu warned Ying Zheng with a serious expression.
"In short, do not make reckless wishes!"
---
DB...
Ying Zheng looked at Lin Yu as if he were an idiot.
What kind of fool would make such ridiculous wishes?!
To him, as long as he could strengthen his empire, he was already satisfied.
---
"My lord, may I see this mythical beast?"
Ying Zheng asked expectantly.
---
"No problem!"
A moment later, Lin Yu summoned Jirachi.
Jirachi looked around curiously with its big, bright eyes.
---
"Hello, Jirachi. I am Ying Zheng!"
Ying Zheng introduced himself gently.
He had heard that if a Pokémon did not approve of its trainer, it would not follow them.
---
"Hello, Your Majesty the First Emperor!"
Jirachi tilted its little head and spoke directly into Ying Zheng's mind.
---
DB...
This mythical beast is truly magical!
It could communicate directly through telepathy!
---
"Are you willing to follow me and help me establish Great Qin's eternal rule?"
Ying Zheng squatted down, looking at Jirachi with anticipation.
His voice was solemn, yet there was a hint of nervousness.
Jirachi stared at Ying Zheng for a moment, then nodded.
---
Seeing that Jirachi had agreed, Ying Zheng's face lit up with joy.
He carefully picked up Jirachi, his eyes filled with warmth and admiration.
---
"Well, Your Majesty, now that you have obtained your Pokémon, you may return."
Lin Yu reminded him.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes gleamed with excitement.
Finally, he could return.
---
"What I saw today has truly opened my eyes. I will never forget this."
"I thank the Immortal."
Ying Zheng bowed deeply, showing his utmost respect.
Lin Yu smiled and waved his hand.
No need to thank me—thank the damn system instead!
---
Ying Zheng was overwhelmed with excitement.
In the blink of an eye, he vanished from sight.
---
"My dear son-in-law, he's gone?"
Liu Hong asked hesitantly.
---
"Yes, he's gone."
Lin Yu confirmed.
---
"My dear son-in-law, why was he here?"
Liu Hong was still curious.
---
DB...
How was he supposed to explain this?
---
"Your Majesty, he exists in a different time and space from us. His presence will not affect us."
Lin Yu explained carefully.
---
"I see!"
Liu Hong nodded in understanding.
But then, his expression turned serious.
---
"My dear son-in-law, I want to establish a Pokémon department alongside the Nine Ministries. What do you think?"
---
"Yes, I agree!"
Liu Hong then asked:
"Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"
---
Hearing this, Lin Yu smirked.
"Your Majesty, you came at the perfect time!"
"I was just about to speak to you—I want to host a Pokémon tournament for 5,000 people in Luoyang!"
"How about we choose the top six as candidates?"
