That day, the atmosphere at Tianchi farm felt a bit different. From a distance, a luxury car could be seen slowly approaching the farm entrance. Yang Chen, who was checking the condition of the Pokémon with Reba, observed the vehicle calmly. He recognized the license plate and immediately knew who was coming.
When the car stopped, a middle-aged man in an official Pokémon Alliance uniform got out. Yang Xiaolin, the leader of the Pokémon Alliance China, stepped out with an undeniable aura of authority. However, behind his serious face, there is great respect for his nephew, Yang Chen.
Yang Xiaolin: "Chen'er, it's been a long time since we last met. Thank you for welcoming me."
Yang Chen smiled warmly, "Uncle Yang, you don't need to be polite. This farm is always open to you."
Yang Xiaolin entered the simple yet cozy home of Yang Chen. Reba immediately served warm tea and some local snacks for the special guest. Yang Xiaoyi, curious about the arrival of the important guest, hid behind the door while peeking.
Yang Xiaolin spoke directly about the reason for his visit. The attack by Team Galaxy a week ago has shaken the world.
Yang Xiaolin said, "Chen'er, you must have heard about the Galaxy Team's attack. They are attacking tournaments in every region, even in other countries." We are strategizing to face this threat. However, my presence here is more than that."
Yang Chen remained calm, even though he could already guess the direction of the conversation.
Yang Xiaolin said hopefully, "I wonder if you would be willing to help the Pokémon Alliance if the situation becomes more dire? You have Pokémon with extraordinary power. I still remember two years ago, when Kyurem rampaged near Mount Tianchi"
Two years ago, the Tianchi region was shaken by a sudden attack from Kyurem, the legendary Dragon/Ice-type Pokémon, which was at level 130 at the time. The Pokémon Alliance detected a major threat and immediately sent Yang Xiaolin with his Urshifu, also at level 130.
The battle between Urshifu and Kyurem was fierce. Although Urshifu was a tough fighter, Kyurem proved to be too strong. Moreover, the snowy terrain in Tianchi gave Kyurem a significant advantage.
As the situation was becoming almost uncontrollable, a large shadow appeared from the sky. Yang Chen's Dragonite arrived with astonishing speed. In one attack, Kyurem was defeated.
When Yang Xiaolin checked Dragonite with the Pokedex, the device displayed something he had never seen before, aside from Legendary Pokémon. The Pokedex screen showed Level 150. This meant Dragonite possessed a power that surpassed the limits of ordinary Pokémon, on par with tier 1 legendaries like Rayquaza and Lugia.
Not long after, Yang Chen appeared, walking casually yet confidently. Yang Xiaolin was surprised to see the figure that suddenly appeared because Yang Xiaolin recognized him; he was his nephew, Yang Chen. At that moment, Yang Xiaolin realized that his nephew, who lived a simple life on the farm, was the owner of a Pokémon as powerful as a legendary Pokémon.
Yang Xiaolin never spoke about the incident to the public. For him, Yang Chen's power is an asset that must be kept confidential. Today, he wanted to ensure whether his nephew was willing to be part of the Pokémon Alliance plan.
Yang Xiaolin said, "Chen'er, I know you enjoy your quiet life here, and I don't want to disturb it. However, if the situation becomes urgent, the world might need you."
Yang Chen sipped his tea, then smiled faintly.
Yang Chen said to his uncle, who is also his cousin Yang Mi's father, "Uncle Yang, I understand your concerns. However, all this time I have chosen not to get involved in major affairs." Not because I don't care, but because I know there are still many great trainers out there who can handle threats like this.
Yang Xiaolin: "And if the threat exceeds their capabilities?"
Yang Chen paused for a moment, then replied calmly, "When the time comes, you know where to find me."
The meeting ended with an understanding between the two. Yang Xiaolin left the farm with mixed feelings. He knew that Yang Chen was a very strong person, but also very wise. Meanwhile, Yang Chen continued his day as usual, as if the meeting was just part of the routine.
In his heart, he knew that the threat of Team Galaxy was something significant. However, as long as the peace of his farm is not disturbed, he chooses to live in the shadows, keeping his secret from the outside world.
