Four days passed in the blink of an eye.
During those four days, Ren received a steady stream of customers at the store. Unfortunately, only about a dozen people actually purchased Pokémon in the end.
Most visitors simply came to check in, take photos, or witness Pokémon with their own eyes.
At the very least…
Diancie had been secretly photographed countless times.
After working in the store during the day, Ren would discuss further details with Ruan Jianrong at night.
Four locations in the north, south, east, and west of Magic City had already been cleared to build Pokémon Centers. Twelve experienced medical staff—carefully selected for their calm and gentle temperaments—had been assigned.
Ren personally visited all four sites. The Pokémon treatment machines were already installed. He taught the staff how to operate them properly, how to monitor recovery conditions, and how to perform routine maintenance.
Meanwhile, Magic City's large-scale fruit tree planting had caused quite a stir online. People were curious—why had the city suddenly planted so many trees in the wilderness?
The official announcement had yet to be released, so netizens could only speculate.
As for Ren, he didn't bother reading the discussions.
"Whew…"
After sending off another customer, Ren let out a long breath.
"Boss, tea break."
A crisp voice sounded beside him. Ren turned and smiled.
The speaker was a beautiful young woman wearing the store's uniform with the white-and-gold alpaca logo. She had neat bangs, a single ponytail, and an exceptionally clean, gentle aura.
Her name was Rao Xiaofei. Nineteen years old. Not originally from Magic City.
Impressed by her temperament and straightforward personality, Ren had hired her two days ago.
The decision had proven correct. She was diligent, reliable, and serious about her work.
"Thanks. It's almost closing time. Xiaofei, count today's revenue later and then clock out."
"Okay. I'll prepare dinner for Diancie and the others soon," she replied with a peaceful smile.
"Oh, right—President Lucas left a message. He said to contact him after work."
"I see."
Ren sipped his tea, flipped the sign to "Closed," and walked to the rest area.
"Lalu~"
"Hungry already, cutie?"
He bent down and picked up Ralts, gently tapping her cheek with a grin.
"Lalu~!"
"Dinner's ready. Sister Xiaofei already made it."
He slipped an Energy Cube into Ralts' mouth and couldn't resist rubbing her tiny head.
Then he took out his phone and called Lucas.
After hearing what Lucas reported, a slow smile appeared on Ren's lips.
It was ready.

9:00 PM
The backyard was quiet under the starlit sky. A cool night breeze brushed past.
"System. Let Pokémon descend."
"Arrival location confirmed: Magic City. Begin now?"
"Yes."
"Pokémon descent initiated."
The moment the system's voice faded, a strange sensation enveloped everything.
The world slowed.
Grass bending in the wind… leaves trembling at the yard's edge… even distant car horns—
Everything slowed.
No.
Everything stopped.
Time and space froze.
Only Ren remained able to move.
A piercing screech echoed from beyond reality.
Above the frozen night sky, a crack tore open—splitting space itself.
Light poured down.
Countless radiant particles cascaded from the rift, scattering across the wilderness of Magic City and into the East China Sea.
For an entire hour, the world remained silent.
Only Ren witnessed it.
Finally, a soft halo descended from the sky.
As it spread across the land, plants grew more vibrant. Wildflowers bloomed instantly. The air became cleaner, lighter—easier to breathe.
Environmental optimization complete.
Ten minutes later, the halo sank into the earth.
The rift closed.
For a brief second, Ren thought he saw a single green eye watching him from within the collapsing crack.
Then—
Time resumed.
Wind returned.
Leaves swayed.
Traffic roared.
To everyone else, nothing had happened.
But beyond the city limits—
Everything had changed.
---
East of Magic City — A Mountain Valley
Thud.
Thud.
Heavy footsteps echoed between the cliffs.
A massive rock serpent emerged from the valley.
"Onix—!"
Its roar shattered the night.
---
South — East China Sea
Beneath the deep ocean, unfamiliar creatures stirred.
Giant Tentacruel drifted through the dark waters.
Groups of Seel swam playfully.
Suddenly—
A waterspout spiraled upward.
Standing proudly above the whirlpool—
Suicune.
---
North — Dense Forest
Beside a quiet stream, small creatures played.
Deeper within the forest stood an abandoned factory.
Golden electricity flickered in the darkness.
Something had claimed it.
---
Mountains. Forests. Rivers. Plains. Oceans.
Pokémon had arrived.
---
The Next Morning
Sunlight poured across the city.
A woman stepped outside with her watering can, humming cheerfully.
She froze.
A small pink creature with two green leaves sat in her flowerpot.
"When did I plant this…?"
She leaned closer.
The "plant" turned around.
Bright yellow eyes.
A wide smile.
"Hoppip~!"
The woman stared blankly.
It moved.
It smiled.
A breeze lifted the tiny Pokémon into the air, and it floated away.
Ten seconds later—
"MONSTER!!!"
---
Elsewhere—
A teenage boy opened his window.
A strange bird perched on the sill.
Pink wings. Brown crest. Sharp eyes.
Spearow.
The boy stared in fascination.
Spearow ignored him completely, fixated on a Caterpie in the nearby tree.
Breakfast.

Magic City Police Department
Phones were ringing nonstop.
"Officer! There's a blue unicorn in my orchard! It's taller than me!"
"Sir, calm down. Did it attack you?"
"No, but—"
"Then please remain calm. That's a Pokémon."
"But it's eating my fruit!"
"Would you like to… offer it a basket and see if it leaves peacefully?"
"…What?"
"Earlier we received a call about a mantis demanding a one-on-one duel. And a two-story rock snake that accidentally drilled into a construction site before going back underground."
Silence.
The man on the phone looked at the towering blue unicorn munching fruit in his orchard.
"…It's still eating."
"Sir, stay calm. We're monitoring the situation."
The officer hung up and rubbed his temples.
Pokémon had officially entered the world.
And this—
Was only the beginning.
