At this moment, Alliance Island was in complete chaos, not only had Fang Yuan's students disrupted the training in God's Domain, but Luo Kuo, one of Fang Yuan's companions, was about to trick Shaymin, one of the Phantom Elves responsible for issuing trials, into leaving Alliance Island...
The China Trainer Association internally expressed that they were unaware, didn't understand, and completely innocent.
...
...
While chaos reigned on Alliance Island, Xie Qingyi, also at Fang Yuan's invitation, arrived at the Fang Yuan Institute.
She was very depressed.
When Fang Yuan invited her over to entrust her with the permanent custody of three Legends Resources as a gift to thank her for managing his affairs, Xie Qingyi was somewhat bewildered and anxious.
Three Legends Resources as a gift, wasn't that a bit too extravagant?
Xie Qingyi was very skeptical that Fang Yuan had other motives.
The senior student really wanted to refuse, but Fang Yuan was adamant and even said something cryptic like "Legends Resources, available for wholesale at any time."
Therefore, Xie Qingyi firmly believed that Fang Yuan definitely had other matters to attend to.
However, just when she had bought a plane ticket back to Magic City and was already on the plane, Fang Yuan sent another message.
"Sorry! I have an emergency and need to leave for a while; I don't know when I can return. I've left the Legends Resources at the Institute, just ask the guardian Pokemon to hand them over. Be sure to take them away, or else they will expire. Oh, and one more thing, senior! I'm entrusting the work to you as well! Many thanks."
Xie Qingyi: "..."
"...?"
"!"
With immense confusion and a grudge, Xie Qingyi still made her way to the Fang Yuan Institute, eager to ask the guardian Pokemon where Fang Yuan had gone.
All of Fang Yuan's responsibilities, including those for the Twelve Branches, the glamorous contests, Fang Yuan Group, and various projects under the name of Fang Yuan's institutes, had been neglected by him.
In this situation, Xie Qingyi racked her brains but couldn't fathom what else Fang Yuan could be so busy with. Special training? If it were only special training, it couldn't be related to being busy, right? Just special training should still leave one with enough time to do things easily.
Xie Qingyi remembered that the gatekeeper and bodyguard of Fang Yuan's Institute, the one guarding the door, was a top-level Nine Tails... This Nine Tails was very intelligent, and she felt she might be able to get something out of it.
"Excuse me."
Clad in a black trench coat, Xie Qingyi quickly arrived at the Fang Yuan Institute.
"Excuse me, is there a Pokemon here?"
"..."
"Not around...?"
Standing at the entrance to the Institute, Xie Qingyi wore a puzzled expression when suddenly, with a sound like an earthquake, the backyard of the Fang Yuan Institute began to shake.
It was the sound of footsteps.
Then, under Xie Qingyi's stunned gaze, a giant Pokemon made of grey and orange rock, holding a Squirtle watering can, came walking down the path first.
Followed by a giant Pokemon composed of icicles and ice pillars, and another with a metallic body, all of them turned their gazes toward Xie Qingyi.
"Regi—— (At last, someone's come.)"
"Doot doot doot doot—— (Can we finally stop working now?)"
"☷☷☷☷ (No, we've been told we need to stay here to guard the door until that Nine Tails comes back.)"
The three eternal Legendary Pokémon, the Guardian God Level Trilogy Deity Pillar, exchanged conversations while warmly gazing at Xie Qingyi.
The task given to them by Dream was to act as gatekeepers + wait to hand over items.
Um... she was the one they were waiting for, no mistake.
Meanwhile.
As Xie Qingyi stood there, stunned by the three Legendary Pokémon, her Rotom considerately came out of her pocket to serve as her Pokédex...
"They are the legendary Regirock, Regice, and Registeel... Rotom... cannot comprehend... cannot comprehend..."
"Energy detection in progress... Detecting... Detection complete, Rotom. Assessment 'Guardian God Level', advise avoiding conflict, Rotom... Rotom..."
Xie Qingyi: "..."
"Regi—— (Don't worry, we are the Institute's gatekeepers.)"
"Gatekeeper, gatekeeper... Rotom... cannot comprehend..."
"You are..." Xie Qingyi spoke after a silence.
Where's Nine Tails, where's Nine Tails, wasn't the bodyguard for Fang Yuan's Institute a top-level Nine Tails??!
"Doot doot doot doot—— (Nine Tails went out, we've been called in to temporarily guard the Institute.)"
"Regi—— (Just a moment, we will fetch the Feather of Legend for you.)"
As Rotom kept translating, Xie Qingyi continued to be bewildered.
A short time later, Xie Qingyi and Rotom left the Institute with puzzled faces.
Before they left, they looked back one last time to see the Trilogy Deity Pillar waving at them with "smiling faces" as they said goodbye.
Xie: "..."
She really wanted to know where Fang Yuan had gotten these three guardian-level Legendary giants.
These three creatures appeared to be no less powerful than Cain's Salu De from Alliance Island, right?
And yet such powerful Pokémon, three Guardian Gods, were now acting as gatekeepers for Fang Yuan's Institute...
What a household!
"Aren't we waiting for Fang Yuan to come back, Rotom?"
"Let's not wait anymore… I feel uneasy," said Xie Qingyi.
Looking at the gift box filled with the Feather of Legend which the three giants had shoved into her hands, she suddenly understood what Fang Yuan meant by wholesale Legends Resources.
That guy, in such a hurry to leave, was he off to grind random Legendary BOSS appearances around the world like playing a game??? And there hadn't been any news of Legendary Pokémon appearing suddenly anywhere!
