Watching this harmless-looking Pokémon, the group began to doubt Fei Xiao's words—or rather, they were unwilling to accept the truth. Believing it would be equivalent to admitting the fact that gods exist.
"Don't judge by appearances, or you'll end up suffering for it. Just like when you first met me, could you have imagined I possessed such strength?"
Fei Xiao directly pointed out what was on their minds.
The group was stunned!
Indeed, no one expected that the beautiful white-haired girl they met in the wild, who seemed ordinary, was actually a walking powder keg.
The group looked at the small, exquisite figure on Fei Xiao's shoulder again. The contempt in their hearts had vanished; they no longer ignored it because of its cute appearance.
If Meloetta truly possessed such powerful strength as Fei Xiao claimed, then setting aside how Fei Xiao could raise such a terrifying Pokémon, everything she had said before must be true.
'Gods' might really exist.
In that case, humanity might not be able to withstand the wrath of the gods at all.
Watching their state of mind shift step by step from doubt to questioning, then shock, and finally disappointment... well, this was indeed hard to accept for people who didn't understand Pokémon.
But honestly, trying to ensure they could accept the information while also being mindful of their feelings made this communication truly exhausting.
"Then Sister... Fei Xiao, will those so-called gods take revenge on us humans now?" Yang Lingfeng raised the concern they all shared. At this moment, even Captain Yang respectfully called her Sister Fei Xiao.
Though they hadn't seen them, the group had already accepted the existence of gods. Now, they were worried about whether those gods would come to seek revenge on humanity.
"Alright, don't be so pessimistic. It hasn't reached that point yet. Those Legendary Pokémon are almost impossible to encounter under normal circumstances," Fei Xiao comforted them at the right moment.
The group breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, if Mythical Beasts could be encountered randomly, humanity might have already...
But Fei Xiao still poured cold water on them.
"However... if humanity continues like this in the future without showing any remorse, then I can't say for sure whether the Mythical Beasts will appear."
Yang Lingfeng and the other two understood. Mythical Beasts had their own tolerance, but it couldn't be pushed past a certain limit.
"Sister Fei Xiao, thank you for your explanation. I will definitely report this truthfully to my superiors and do my best to dissuade them," Yang Lingfeng stated plainly.
"Yes, Sister Fei Xiao, your information is very critical. You are truly the savior of the Dragon Kingdom."
"Wow, Fei Xiao, you're so amazing! To think you know so much!"
Xiao Yan and Zhou Long had also fully accepted all the information.
"Thank you. I'm just sharing my own insights. Once you have more contact with Pokémon, you'll discover their beauty as well," Fei Xiao said modestly.
"You're too humble, Sister Fei Xiao. That's easy to say, but no one dares to try it easily. You've achieved something no one else has," Zhou Long praised Fei Xiao generously.
"That's right, Sister Fei Xiao. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do if we actually encountered those Mythical Beasts in the future," Xiao Yan added with some lingering fear.
"Mhm." Fei Xiao didn't deny it further; being too humble would seem fake.
Fei Xiao then thought of something and asked, "By the way, do you know how to get back, or do you have a plan?"
Yang Lingfeng didn't hide anything and replied, "Actually, after eating, we contacted people to come pick us up. Based on the time, they should be here in about fifteen minutes."
Xiao Yan stepped forward, took Fei Xiao's fair hand, and asked, "Sister Fei Xiao, what about you? Why don't you come with us? We'd love to treat you to a meal to properly thank you, and we can go shopping together." She then stared at Fei Xiao expectantly.
The other two also watched Fei Xiao's expression. Clearly, they also hoped Fei Xiao would leave with them.
Fei Xiao was startled; she hadn't expected them to invite her to leave with them.
In fact, Fei Xiao did want to leave. After all, while living in the wild meant she lacked almost nothing and had the company of Pokémon, she still wanted to go out and interact with people.
Leaving with them seemed okay, but considering her identity, they would surely report everything she said once they returned. If her fox ears were accidentally exposed, there would be a mountain of problems. Moreover, the other party's intentions were definitely more than just a simple dinner invitation.
Fei Xiao thought for a moment and finally decided to pass for now. She had enough strength to protect herself, so it was better to let them go back and handle the explanations and persuasion themselves.
Having made up her mind, Fei Xiao replied, "No, you guys go back first. I'll definitely visit when there's a chance."
"Ah?" Xiao Yan and the others were very disappointed.
Xiao Yan's face fell, but she immediately cheered herself up. "Alright, but if you're free, you must come!" Xiao Yan wasn't stupid; she had indeed used the meal as a pretext to invite Fei Xiao. After all, someone who understood Pokémon and possessed magical abilities was someone they had to win over. But since she refused, she could only let it go.
Fei Xiao squeezed her hand and smiled gently. "Okay, I promise there will be a chance."
Xiao Yan's face turned slightly red as she stared at Fei Xiao's smile. For a moment, she was a bit embarrassed to look her in the eye. Although her invitation had a bit of cleverness behind it, it was also sincere. But she had to admit, Fei Xiao was just too beautiful—even she, as a girl, could hardly handle it!
Xiao Yan (/∇＼)
Fei Xiao didn't think much of the other girl's blushing, even finding it a bit cute.
Meanwhile, the two grown men turned away, not watching the two beautiful women chat.
Are you kidding? Even Xiao Yan couldn't handle Fei Xiao's exquisite face. As single guys, they didn't dare look too much to avoid embarrassing themselves.
After walking for a while, a helicopter precisely located them and landed on the clearing behind them.
After the wounded were carried onto the helicopter, the three of them thanked Fei Xiao one by one before boarding. Then, the helicopter began to take off slowly.
"Sister Fei Xiao, we'll come see you again! And Bellossom, take care too!" Xiao Yan finished and waved goodbye to Fei Xiao and Bellossom.
"Mhm."
Fei Xiao also raised her hand to wave goodbye, quietly watching them slowly depart.
"Hua!"
"Melo!"
Meloetta and Bellossom, who had woken up at some point, also waved goodbye from the side.
The person and the two Pokémon watched them leave and then headed home together.
It was worth mentioning that Bellossom followed Fei Xiao into the house as well.
Fei Xiao guessed that Bellossom had probably taken a liking to Xiao Yan.
"Well then, Meloetta, it looks like we have a new companion." Fei Xiao didn't mind Bellossom's arrival, thinking she might consider giving Xiao Yan a Poké Ball the next time she visited.
"Melo!"
"Hua!"
Meloetta happily circled around Bellossom, seemingly very welcoming of the newcomer.
