GA: Chapter 71: The Purest, Most Innocent Creatures in the World — Pokémon
At that moment, Huoyu looked at Bai Xuan with undisguised envy.
She had considered the possibility that he might be lying—but there was no reason for him to deceive her.
Which meant… there was a very real chance that Bai Xuan had truly been invited by some great existence into a platform that spanned countless worlds.
And within that platform… there were even figures like Uchiha Madara and Whitebeard—characters straight out of anime worlds.
So lucky…
She wanted in too.
Bai Xuan was already incredibly powerful, yet he had still managed to join something so unbelievable. Life really wasn't fair.
Still, envy was all she had. There was nothing she could do about it.
But the idea that those anime worlds actually existed…
If the higher-ups in the country found out, they'd probably forget all about the spirit energy revival in an instant.
Huoyu shook her head. None of that was her concern anyway. As a soldier, her duty was simple—follow orders.
"So… what world are they from?" she asked curiously. "I don't think I've ever seen them before."
She gently poked the Pikachu stretching lazily on the table. It immediately nuzzled her finger affectionately, and her heart practically melted.
So cute… unbelievably cute!
"Think of it as an anime from another world," Bai Xuan said softly. "It doesn't exist in ours."
"Pokémon—also called Pocket Monsters."
"They possess all kinds of abilities, all kinds of elemental attributes. The strongest among them can rival gods—travel through time, control the seas, revive the dead… even create entire planets."
"They live on Earth alongside humans, coexisting peacefully. Some even become partners with humans, setting out together on the journey to become the strongest Trainer in the world."
His voice carried a trace of nostalgia.
Back when he had first watched Pokémon, he had longed to enter that world.
Sure, it wasn't perfect—there were still hierarchies, still villains—but it was home to the purest, most innocent beings in existence.
These little creatures.
Once they chose you, they would wait for you—no matter how long it took.
That kind of purity… was something impossible to find in a world filled with hypocrisy.
He hadn't expected that after transmigrating, he wouldn't end up in the Pokémon world, but instead in a parallel world… only to accidentally join a chat group and fulfill his old dream in a different way.
"Travel through time? Control the seas? Revive the dead?" Huoyu repeated, stunned.
"…Create planets?"
She looked down at the Pikachu curled up in her arms, eyes wide with disbelief. She had sensed that it possessed some power—but she hadn't imagined that the strongest Pokémon could reach such terrifying heights.
Then she glanced at its adorable art style again.
…Well, it was an anime creature. Being ridiculously strong was kind of expected.
"Can I report this to the higher-ups?" she asked, gently stroking Pikachu's head.
"…"
Bai Xuan gave her a deadpan look. "If I said no, would you actually keep it secret?"
He knew exactly who she was.
Huoyu was the bridge between him and the state. If he was willing to tell her all this, he had already accepted that it would eventually reach the authorities.
"I'm just… going through the motions," she said awkwardly. Her identity made it impossible for her to keep something like this hidden.
Asking was just part of the process.
After that, Huoyu didn't stay any longer. She had just learned something explosive—and since Bai Xuan didn't mind it being shared, she was eager to pass it along.
After all, why should she be the only one shocked?
Where's the fun in that?
Bai Xuan didn't pay her departure much mind. After playing with Pikachu for a while, he opened the chat group.
During his absence, it seemed like something new had happened.
Ordinary Group Leader:
"Rejoice! The sovereign of the spirit energy era has been born! She who wields Devil Fruits, the Sharingan, and all three types of Haki—transcending time itself, knowing the past and future of countless worlds—the supreme ruler of the chat group!"
Ordinary Group Leader:
"Wahahahaha!"
Ordinary Group Leader:
"Insignificant peers, how dare you be so arrogant? Before the flames of my holy angel form, you will kneel and beg for mercy!"
Turning Da Gu into Soup:
"???"
Uchiha Dance King:
"???"
Be My Son:
"???"
Richest Man in the Lighthouse:
"I just got here and the group leader's already in full chuuni mode."
Glory of the Northern God:
"Bad luck.jpg"
Ordinary Group Leader:

Ordinary Group Leader:
"@Glory of the Northern God — what are you barking about?!"
Ordinary Group Leader:
"I'm just having a little chuuni moment, what's your problem?!"
Richest Man in the Lighthouse:
"You're self-aware? Also… why does 'barking' sound so familiar? I swear I've heard that somewhere."
Worst Spirit:
"Isn't it because you were the one who started saying it?"
Himouto Umaru:
"Woohoo, I'm back from school!"
Himouto Umaru:
"Time for a cola—glug glug glug~"
Himouto Umaru:
"Thumbs up.jpg"
Electromaster:
"You changed your name again?"
Electromaster:
"From random nonsense to Himouto… and now Himouto Umaru?"
Himouto Umaru:
"It matches the name in the world the group leader shared~"
Himouto Umaru:
"Speaking of that, I finally did the lottery draw… and I got a hamster plush."
Himouto Umaru:
"I mean, I like it, but… there were so many good items, and I got this? Feels like such a waste…"
At first, someone had explained the lottery system to them. She'd been too nervous and excited to draw immediately, saving it for later.
And when she finally did…
A hamster plush.
Not bad—but still disappointing.
She had expected something much better.
Electromaster:
"…Lottery…"
That word triggered an unpleasant memory for Misaka Mikoto.
Unlike Umaru, she hadn't hesitated. Encouraged by the others, she drew immediately.
And what did she get?
…A pair of safety shorts.
Printed with her image and Gekota.
And a line of text:
"The electricity dancing at your fingertips is my eternal faith."
It screamed fan merchandise.
But why… why put it on safety shorts?!
A shirt, a uniform—anything else would've been fine!
But this?!
Pervert!
So no matter how curious the others were afterward, she said nothing and immediately logged off in embarrassment.
Ordinary Group Leader:
"Things have been pretty quiet in the chat group lately."
Ordinary Group Leader:
"Madara hasn't been revived, Naruto hasn't been born, the Summit War is gone, Railgun's project still needs time, Kurumi's still scheming against the First Spirit, and Big Sis Dongfang is off unifying the martial world and stealing manuals."
Ordinary Group Leader:
"The only exciting thing is that Da Gu finally transformed into Tiga."
