Chapter 480 The History Section, Your King is Back!
The biggest advantage of Connor's house is that it is clean and tidy.
There isn't even a television.
You said your quality of life is good?
My lord, times have changed!
Xia Chi was internally ranting, but he didn't show it on his face.
He glanced at the "delighted" expression on the King of the Lace-Crowned King's face and decided to let this "primitive man," who had been out of touch with the world for hundreds of years, see how the outside world had changed.
"Crown King, come here."
He waved to the Crowned King.
"I'll show you something good."
King Lei Guan watched Xia Chi warily.
That look clearly said, "You're up to no good again."
But curiosity prevailed over wariness.
It walked over with a hint of disbelief, its large head slightly raised as it stared at Xia Chi.
Xia Chi took out his Rotom phone from his pocket.
"Rotom, play it a... well, a documentary about Dindi winning the championship."
He thought about it and chose this passage.
The championship documentary is not just about the Pokémon battles on the field, but also includes the cityscape of Miyako City and the daily lives of its people.
This will be a good opportunity to show Calyrex what real modern life in the Pokémon world is like.
"No problem, Loto!"
Rotom immediately agreed, and the phone floated up from Xia Chi's hand, flying to the front of the Lady Crown King.
The screen lights up.
The Crowned King was startled by the sudden light and instinctively shrank back.
Is this... an elf?
It stared at the strange, glowing object floating in the air before it, lost in thought.
But it didn't have time to ask.
What appeared on the phone's Rotom screen next completely stunned it.
That's an aerial view of Gongmen City.
Skyscrapers stand side by side, their glass curtain walls gleaming in the sunlight.
The streets were bustling with traffic and crowds of people.
Various flying Pokémon shuttle through the sky, coexisting harmoniously with the city.
The scene shifts to the Palace Arena.
Tens of thousands of spectators packed the stands, their cheers deafening.
In the center of the arena, Charizard and its opponent are locked in fierce combat, with flames and energy radiating everywhere.
The camera then pans to Gongmen City at night.
Neon lights flashed, the city was brightly lit, and the whole city was like a city that never sleeps.
The Crowned King's eyes widened further.
The giant head got closer and closer, almost touching the screen.
What...where is this place?
Is this a place where humans live?
How is that possible?
How could humans possibly live in such tall buildings?
What are those moving metal boxes?
What are those lights?
Those cheering crowds...are they all here to watch the Pokémon battle?
It was completely unable to understand everything it saw.
Seeing its dumbfounded expression, Xia Chi smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, there's more to come."
The following scenes continued to deliver a series of visual shocks to the Queen of the Lace Crown.
Technology product showcase: holographic projection, vending machines, and maglev train.
A compilation of Pokémon battles featuring various Pokémon it had never seen before and moves it couldn't understand.
Cityscapes – different landscapes in different regions: cities in the desert, cities by the sea, cities in the mountains.
The Crowned King was overwhelmed by the sights.
The large head turned as the screen moved, occasionally emitting a hissing sound.
Even after the short documentary ended and the screen went dark, it still hadn't recovered.
It stood there blankly, its eyes still fixed on the now-darkened screen, as if still immersed in that bizarre world.
After a long silence, it slowly spoke.
The voice was filled with shock and disbelief.
"Is this...is this what the outside world looks like now?"
Xia Chi tried her best to suppress her laughter.
Look how scared the Queen is, she's speaking properly now.
Before, they used "孤" (gu) and "汝" (ru) interchangeably, but now they just use "我" (wo).
Xia Chi coughed lightly and said, "This is just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, the most important change for you is this Rotom phone in front of you."
The Crowned King muttered to herself, "Rotom...the cell phone?"
Its gaze fell on the Rotom cell phone floating in the air, its eyes full of curiosity.
Xia Chi nodded: "That's right. Because of its appearance, people and elves who would never have crossed paths before may be able to establish a connection."
He paused, then continued, "Through it, you can let people all over the world know you, understand you, and know that you exist. When people know your story and know that you are a king who can bring a bountiful harvest, they will naturally have the power of faith."
The Queen of the Lace Crown is not stupid.
It immediately thought of the reason why Xia Chi said this was very important to it.
"You mean... I can regain the power of faith with this?"
For the first time, its voice carried a hint of excitement.
Rotom angrily interrupted, "I'm not a thing, Rotom!"
Suddenly realizing that wasn't quite right, it changed its words, saying, "What are you, Loto!"
The Crown Queen didn't want to argue with this electronic ghost.
Having found a way to restore its strength, it is now preoccupied with the possibility of "making the whole world know about it".
"If... I could use this... phone to let the whole world get to know me again..."
It muttered to itself, beginning to ponder deeper questions.
"But... how can I guarantee that they will all be able to see me?"
It raised its head and looked at Xia Chi, who had been smiling silently.
A hint of suspicion flashed in those small eyes hidden beneath the crown.
"Do you... have a way?"
Xia Chi smiled slightly.
After all this build-up, it's finally my turn to show off!
He cleared his throat, trying to make his voice sound calm and collected.
"I am not very talented, but I have quite a bit of influence on the internet."
After saying that, he slightly raised his chin, waiting to see the shocked and worshipful look in the eyes of the Queen of the Rachel.
However.
The Crowned King blinked.
What is the Internet?
Its bewildered expression, coupled with its large head, perfectly captured the "foolish, clear-eyed look of a college student." Xia Chi: "..."
have to.
They even said they'd show off in front of this turnip.
It was like casting pearls before swine.
He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
What else can we do?
Explain it.
He sighed resignedly and began to explain to this "primitive man" who had been out of touch with the world for hundreds of years what the Internet, social media, and "influence" were.
The Crowned Queen listened very attentively.
He would nod occasionally, say "oh" every now and then, and sometimes show an expression that said, "I don't understand, but it seems really impressive."
Victini floated to the side, watching this scene with a gloating expression on her little face, as if to say, "My trainer has finally tasted the bitterness of being choked."
Hupa burst out laughing, squirming in and out of the ring, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Ice Sixtails lay in Xia Chi's arms, listening to words it couldn't understand at all, and yawned slightly.
Then, it curled up and closed its eyes peacefully in Xia Chi's warm embrace.
"Alright, now you understand how to restore your faith power, right?"
It took Xia Chi quite a while to finish explaining the basics of modern society to Lei Guanwang, this "primitive man".
This whole explanation was more exhausting than fighting a battle against the gods.
It took ten minutes just to explain what the "Internet" meant. At first, the Crème de la Croix thought it was a newly developed tree fruit, then it thought it was a new type of fishing net, and finally it barely understood that it was "something that connects the whole world together".
In short, after all that trouble, the Queen of the Lace Crown finally figured it out.
Although the turnip's strength has declined, it still lacks intelligence.
As the ruler of the Crown Snowfield for hundreds of years, it quickly understood Xia Chi's meaning and summarized it in its own words.
"I understand."
It nodded, its large head swaying with the movement, like a cabbage about to roll off the table.
"If an internet celebrity like you posts videos related to me, will people start to believe in me again after seeing them?"
After understanding everything, the Queen of the Lace once again reverted to her arrogant and smug demeanor.
It's as if the guy who was scared back by the Rotom phone and stunned by the aerial footage just now wasn't it at all.
Xia Chi didn't bother with this guy's bad habits and simply replied, "Of course not, but the premise is that you need to demonstrate the abilities shown in my video."
These words silenced King Raiguan once again.
Its head, which had been held high, visibly lowered, and then it looked at Xia Chi with some embarrassment and annoyance.
If I could demonstrate that ability, would I need you to promote me?
The Crowned King didn't say it aloud, but Xia Chi could clearly see it from its "you're kidding me" expression.
Xia Chi smiled slightly and continued calmly, "That's why it takes time. I'll first help you regain some of your faith power, and then you can demonstrate some of your abilities. By gradually snowballing your power, you'll be able to recover your strength, right?"
He paused, then added, "That's called the snowball effect, you know?"
The Queen of the Lace Crown's eyes lit up.
A glimmer of hope instantly shone in those small eyes hidden beneath the crown.
This method... seems to actually work!
First, gain a little bit of faith power to restore a little bit of your abilities.
Then use this ability to attract more faith.
Then, with even more faith, restore even more power.
This cycle continues, and the snowball keeps getting bigger and bigger.
The more the Crowned Queen thought about it, the more excited she became; her large head trembled slightly with excitement.
With an actionable plan in hand, its gaze toward Xia Chi changed instantly.
It wasn't exactly ingratiating, but it certainly lacked arrogance and was more eager.
"Your suggestion is exactly what I wanted to hear!"
It cleared its throat, trying to make its voice sound authoritative, but it couldn't suppress its excitement.
"Since that's the case, I hereby appoint you as my Prime Minister, granting you a position above all others..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Xia Chi quickly interrupted this empty promise from the cabbage.
This picture looks so fake.
prime minister?
Above ten thousand people?
What's the use of giving an empty title to a fallen king who can barely support himself?
Xia Chi rolled her eyes in annoyance: "I don't care if you become my prime minister. My condition remains the same: if you come back to Donghuang with me, I can help you regain your original strength."
The Queen of the Lace Crown was once again caught in a dilemma.
This time, it's really torn.
When Xia Chi said "Come back to Donghuang with me" before, it thought it was just empty talk, an excuse to lure it away from its homeland.
But it's different now.
Because Xia Chi came up with a practical and feasible solution, and even started making videos for it.
The Queen saw hope in regaining her strength.
It lowered its head and fell into deep thought.
The large head drooped low, almost touching the ground.
The Ice Vulpix appeared out of nowhere, tilting its little head up to look at it with eyes full of worry.
"A chirp?"
It called out softly, as if asking: What's wrong?
The Crested King reached out its paw and gently stroked the head of the Ice-Six-Tails.
Then I looked up and looked out the window.
Outside the window, there was a vast expanse of white snow.
That's where it lived for hundreds of years.
The Crowned King remained silent for a long time.
Finally, it spoke.
"I'll reconsider."
Xia Chi shrugged, her tone relaxed: "Whatever."
He neither urged nor advised.
These things can't be rushed.
We need to let the Queen of the Rachel think it through herself.
and.
Xia Chi glanced at the vast white snowfield outside the window, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
He had a gut feeling that this former king would eventually choose to follow him.
It wasn't because of any grand principles or mission.
It's not because it's lonely, but because it's too lonely.
For hundreds of years, it has wandered alone on the snowfield, disguising itself as Nyura to collect relief food and take care of homeless little creatures.
It desperately needs someone to talk to.
The warmth that Kanna experienced in her home for just one day was perhaps the first time in hundreds of years that she had felt the feeling of "home".
Xia Chi withdrew his gaze and said nothing more.
He's about to start making a video about the Bridal Veil.
In his view, the Crowned King would not be able to resist the temptation of regaining his strength.
Moreover, the price paid is nothing at all—it's just moving to a different place; it's not like I'm selling myself.
It's only a matter of time before we bring this "King of Abundance" back to Donghuang.
Speaking of which, Xia Chi's "Regional Legends" video series has been on hiatus for a long time.
The last update allowed players to trace the ancient legends of the Hoenn region.
After the video was released, it immediately broke the record at the time, and the comments section was full of voices urging for more updates.
But later...
He then stood him up.
He didn't participate in the Three Dragons of the Way legend in the Unova region.
With Rahim Ram by his side at the time, he could have easily produced an exclusive interview-level video.
It's purely because I'm lazy.
If it weren't for the fact that it concerned the restoration of the Queen of the Lace, Xia Chi probably wouldn't have done it.
However, if Xia Chi doesn't want this opportunity, there are plenty of others who will.
During the six months or so that the "Regional Legends" series was on hiatus, many content creators in the history section of Pixiv started...
"Pool Blood Buns".
Videos related to legendary elves sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
Some talked about Ho-Oh and Lugia, some about Kyogre and Groudon, and some even brought up the stories of Mew and Mewtwo.
The quality varies, but the traffic is consistently good.
After all, the words "Legendary Spirit" are a guarantee of high viewership.
But this time...
Xia Chi glanced at the copy she had just finished writing and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
Historic district, your king has returned!
