Chapter 39 - Chapter 39: The Rainbow on the Horizon

Due to the limited ingredients, this meal only consisted of a stir-fried tomato and egg dish and a fish with pickled greens dish.

As for where the fish came from, although the space bag cannot keep food fresh, wouldn't it be fine to just put the fish tank inside as well? (Ignoring collisions)

The Pokémon specifically exchanged some berries in the system to make a salad.

"Sister Fei Xiao, what kind of fruit are Meloetta and the others eating? I don't think I've ever seen it before," Meng Xi noted, having carefully spotted the discrepancy.

"Oh? Let me see... I really haven't seen it before! Could it be a new variety?"

"Well, you could say that. These are called berries, and they are the main food for Pokémon.

berries can provide Pokémon with the energy needed for growth, and some of them have different effects that can cure abnormal statuses like poisoning."

"Sigh, can I have a taste?"

"No problem, humans can eat these berries too..."

Meng Xi interrupted directly, "Alright, even this can't keep your mouth shut? Fei Xiao didn't make much to begin with, and you're still trying to steal food from the Pokémon."

Lin Siyu pouted and turned her head away.

"Hmph, I just wanted to taste it, that's all! If I can't eat it, then I won't."

Diancie was dining elegantly, and since she was sitting directly opposite Lin Siyu, she happened to hear her plea.

She glanced at the food on her plate, and finally, she gently slid the plate toward Lin Siyu.

"Here, Sister Siyu, it's fine. I have plenty, so you should have some." Diancie's smile was as holy as an angel's in her eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that they were still livestreaming, she would have really wanted to go over there and hug her and give her a couple of kisses.

"Diancie, you are so good to me."

Lin Siyu wasn't greedy; she picked up one berry and put it in her mouth to savor it carefully.

"You guys should have some too." Diancie very gently invited Fei Xiao and the other to try some as well.

Fei Xiao already knew how they tasted, but she didn't refuse the kind gesture.

The three of them tasted the berries, and Lin Siyu immediately said, "Wow, this tastes just like an orange! It's sweet, really good!"

"Hehe, mine is a bit sour, but it's sweet and sour, so it's quite tasty too," Meng Xi replied with a smile.

"That's right! Although some berries are very similar to the fruits we are familiar with, their nutritional value is much higher!"

Before coming to the city, Fei Xiao often ate berries as snacks; after all, there were fruit trees in the yard, so why not eat them?

(Damn it! The instant noodles in my hand suddenly don't taste good anymore!)

(It's clearly such a simple meal, why am I so envious?)

(Although I don't know what you're thinking, I know that my girlfriend and I are eating very happily.)

...

"I'm so full! So, shall we wander around a bit more before heading back, or should we just call it a day and return home?" Fei Xiao asked the other two for their thoughts with a grin.

"Huh? We're going back? Sister Fei Xiao, can we play a little longer?" Lin Siyu looked reluctant; she hadn't had enough fun yet.

Fei Xiao hadn't expected that she would actually want to spend the night out. She didn't mind, but she wasn't sure if these two young girls could handle camping in the wild.

Meng Xi picked up her bag unhurriedly and said confidently:

"Don't worry, Sister Fei Xiao. Siyu has long wanted to experience camping in the wild. So, I've already prepared a tent, we don't have to worry about sleeping at night!"

"It seems you've both been cooped up in the city for too long. Alright then, let's go explore the surroundings a bit more."

Fei Xiao didn't dampen their enthusiasm and readily agreed to their idea.

After Fei Xiao and Meng Xi recalled their various Pokémon into their Poké Balls, they set off.

(Damn it! I want to go camping too!)

(Pokémon have now been confirmed to be able to coexist peacefully, so if we're careful, it should be fine, right!)

(Bro, do you know how brave you are? Did you not see what Sister Fei Xiao and the others encountered today?)

(It can't be that bad luck, right?)

(Good luck everyone, I'll continue waiting for the government's arrangements.)

Clearly, the effect of Fei Xiao and the others' livestream was positive, but most people still didn't dare to gamble with their lives.

...

"Xiao Yan, did you keep Fei Xiao's contact information earlier?" Jiao Wuyan asked his granddaughter with a serious expression.

"Yes! Grandpa, are you planning to find Fei Xiao?"

"That is good. A conversation with Fei Xiao must be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

"That's right. It's time to correct the public's perception of Pokémon. Delaying it until now, I'm afraid many people are already dissatisfied with the government." Ye Jinnian nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll contact Sister Fei Xiao right now."

After saying this, Jiao Xiaoyan had already taken out her phone and was about to dial.

However, a large, sturdy hand suddenly stopped her.

Jiao Xiaoyan looked puzzled and looked at her grandfather.

"Grandpa?"

Jiao Wuyan suggested unhurriedly, "Let's wait until they finish their livestream."

Upon hearing this, the group didn't get impatient and all watched the livestream screen calmly.

...

As they continued walking, Lin Siyu's original enthusiasm extinguished once again.

It felt like the sun was about to set, so why couldn't they encounter even a single Pokémon!

It had been the same all afternoon; could there really be some special reason for this?

At this moment, even Fei Xiao was puzzled. Apart from her earlier feeling, it seemed that there really wasn't a single Pokémon around.

All afternoon, apart from fishing, they basically hadn't encountered any traces of Pokémon.

The group continued their stroll and finally arrived at a small, steep slope.

The sky, which had originally been as blue as a gemstone, was gradually stained with streaks of vibrant red.

At first, this red was just a faint veil, gently covering the horizon, but as time passed, it became increasingly rich and deep.

"The sun is about to set. How about we stop here for today? Let's find a place to set up the tent so we don't have poor visibility later."

Meng Xi gazed into the distance at the horizon.

Upon hearing this, the gazes of Fei Xiao and the other were also drawn to the magnificent scenery.

At this moment, Fei Xiao's cyan pupils constricted, her gaze fixed on a spot on the horizon, and she murmured.

"That is..."

The two people beside her, however, didn't notice anything unusual.

But in Fei Xiao's eyes, she clearly saw a brilliant flash of color on the red horizon, and the distance seemed to be constantly closing in.

Soon, both Lin Siyu and Meng Xi saw the scene before them clearly.

In the middle of the vibrant red clouds in the sky, a rainbow suddenly appeared, spanning across the horizon.

The most shocking thing was that they clearly saw a giant bird with feathers that were mostly gold and red, tail feathers that were yellow, feathers on the underside of its body that were white, and feathers at the tips of its wings that were green.

It had green stripes on its neck, a yellow beak, black rings around its red eyes, and a yellow crest on its head.

And it was leading the path of the rainbow step by step.

Immediately after, Fei Xiao seemed to sense something and subconsciously slowly extended her right hand.

In the stunned gaze of everyone, a feather emitting seven-colored light slowly fell into Fei Xiao's hand.
