Chapter Summaries

Shen Qi collected the repaired Little Sheep and took Chansey along to deliver goods to the Luxury Resort on Island 5. Chansey revealed she had stayed there before and remembered the experience as unpleasant, but remained determined to keep working hard.

• Chansey trained her fighting skills, though Shen Qi explained that her species was naturally weak in attack.
• Shen Qi picked up the repaired Little Sheep, and Chansey helped him load the delivery cargo.
• Chansey asked Shen Qi to take her to Island 5 instead of dropping her at Ruins Valley first, so she could help with the delivery.
• On the way, Shen Qi tested Racing Energy and learned that Chansey had reservations about visiting the Luxury Resort.
• Chansey told Shen Qi she had stayed near the resort for a while and that it had not been a pleasant experience.
• At the Luxury Resort, a staff member said they were too busy to help unload, and Shen Qi accepted the task himself.

While driving through Ruins Valley with Chansey, Shen Qi encountered a powerful Psychic-type energy storm that overturned the Little Sheep and forced him to sense unfamiliar energy. The storm passed, leaving him shaken but with a faint new awareness of Psychic-type energy.

• Shen Qi and Chansey returned from Island 5, where Chansey fell silent near the Pokémon Center because she had worked there before.
• Chansey sensed powerful Psychic-type energy near Ruins Valley, but she could not identify its source.

• A Psychic-type energy storm struck, and Chansey held Shen Qi as the Little Sheep overturned.
• Chansey fed Shen Qi an egg, distracting him from the storm’s painful energy fluctuations, and he glimpsed a trace of pink Psychic-type energy in the sky.

After a psychic storm injured Pokémon throughout Ruins Valley, Shen Qi and Chansey worked to rescue and treat them. Chansey discovered Heal Pulse and, despite her exhaustion, returned deeper into the woods while Shen Qi waited with the rescued Pokémon for reinforcements.

• Shen Qi recognized the powerful psychic force in Ruins Valley as possibly belonging to Deoxys, while Chansey insisted on staying to help injured Pokémon.
• Shen Qi and Chansey found storm-struck Pokémon, and Chansey used Egg Bomb to treat them, though its taste made Psyduck and Yanma nauseated.
• Shen Qi carried injured Pokémon outside and called the Island 6 Security Bureau, which requested help from Island 5 and the Ranger Union.
• Chansey continued rescuing Pokémon and overused Egg Bomb until Shen Qi urged her to rest and eat an egg.
• When Chansey could no longer use Egg Bomb, her determination awakened Heal Pulse, which stopped Poochyena’s bleeding without draining her own strength.
• Chansey treated the Pokémon outside and went back into Ruins Valley, while Shen Qi stayed behind with Poochyena and the others.

Shen Qi encountered Officer Jenny and the rescue teams after Xatu warned him about danger in Ruins Valley, then met an injured Celebi during another Psychic-type Storm. Celebi gave Shen Qi its healing power to save wounded people and Pokémon, and Shen Qi collapsed after using it.

• Xatu warned Shen Qi to stay away from Ruins Valley, claimed Groudon had caused the disturbance, and asked him to contact the Security Bureau.
• Officer Jenny and rescue teams arrived, and Shen Qi told them that Chansey was inside helping injured Pokémon before driving away to wait for news.
• A new Psychic-type Storm overturned Shen Qi’s Little Sheep, and an injured Celebi landed on it and asked who had caused the Explosion.
• Shen Qi told Celebi that Xatu had blamed Groudon, and Celebi said Groudon had caused destruction before and that it needed to leave the island to recover.
• Celebi gave Shen Qi stored vitality and asked him to help others, then vanished; Shen Qi used the power to calm and heal the wounded rescue staff and Pokémon.
• Shen Qi woke Nurse Joy and the other rescuers, then blacked out as Celebi’s energy faded and exhaustion overtook him.

After recovering at the Pokémon Center, Shen Qi learned that Chansey needed time to recover from unusual radiation and discovered that Lilligant had worried over his unexplained absence. He called to explain what had happened and planned to return soon so they could take photos together.

• Shen Qi woke at the Island 5 Pokémon Center and learned his phone had been smashed and Chansey needed to recover from unusual radiation.
• Officer Jenny awarded Shen Qi 50,000 b for his bravery, and an officer brought him a replacement phone.
• Shen Qi realized the 50% romance reward belonged to Lilligant after reading her many messages from the day he missed their meeting.
• Shen Qi called Lilligant and explained the energy storm, Celebi, Groudon, and Chansey's involvement.
• Lilligant said she would visit him on Island 5, and Shen Qi told her he expected to return in a day or two so they could take photos.

Shen Qi used an Energy Comprehension Card and opened an energy chakra after sensing Normal-, Psychic-, and Grass-type energy. He investigated Chansey with an Investigation Card, learning that radiation was affecting her body and that her unusually high mental concentration remained unexplained.

• Shen Qi used the Energy Comprehension Card and stabilized his perception of three energy types, opening an energy chakra.
• Shen Qi decided to use an Investigation Card and a Memory Image on the sleeping Chansey to learn more about her condition.
• Shen Qi's Investigation Card showed that Chansey was an adult female with laser-radiation effects causing internal changes, though her psychological health and mental stability were high.
• Shen Qi noticed Chansey's mental concentration was unusually high despite her prolonged sleep and chose to wait for her to wake before further examination.
• Shen Qi checked Chansey's move proficiencies and discovered that she knew Double-Edge, a powerful Normal-type move.

Shen Qi discovered that Chansey’s attack was mutating rapidly, then used a Memory Image to learn about her past as an intern at a Pokémon Center. The memories ended with Chansey insisting that her harsh treatment methods were a martial spirit passed down by her master.

• Shen Qi noticed Chansey’s attack stat rising at an extraordinary rate and connected it to an internal mutation caused by laser exposure.
• Shen Qi woke to find Chansey weak and unsteady, helped her to the bathroom, and saw that her attack had climbed to 44.
• Shen Qi used a Memory Image and learned that Chansey had come from across the sea and joined a Pokémon Center as an intern.
• Shen Qi watched a memory of Chansey treating a boy’s injured leg with her rough massage technique and being reprimanded by a doctor.
• A Chatot relayed that Chansey persisted because she considered her strange techniques a martial spirit passed down by her master.

Shen Qi learned how Chansey had struggled to pursue her dream of becoming a healer, then helped her leave the Pokémon Center after Nurse Joy recognized the care she had given injured Pokémon. He later retrieved Little Sheep from the Island 5 Security Bureau, whose investigation into the psychic storm remained inconclusive.

• Shen Qi viewed Chansey's memories of leaving her Pokémon Center internship and later quitting her job at the Luxury Resort, still determined to become a healer.
• Chansey asked to stay with Shen Qi for a few more days, and he agreed to take her home after they completed her discharge paperwork.
• Nurse Joy praised Chansey's treatment of injured Pokémon at Ruins Valley, and Chansey toppled into a group of nurses while striking a triumphant pose.
• Shen Qi answered the Island 5 Security Bureau's questions and retrieved Little Sheep, but the officers had not determined what caused the psychic storm.
• Shen Qi withheld his guesses about Groudon and Deoxys, then set off for home with Chansey.

Shen Qi learned that Chansey’s unusual martial medicine came from a Mienshao who trained her when she was a Happiny, though she may have misunderstood his advice. He later met Lilligant to begin photographing Pokémon for a school event and found a quiet poolside spot, where a wild Sentret warned its companions away.

• Chansey told Shen Qi that she had trained with Mienshao at an amusement park after getting lost as a Happiny, and that Mienshao taught her martial arts could defeat enemies and save lives.
• Shen Qi realized Chansey might have misunderstood Mienshao’s guidance, but chose not to challenge her years later.
• After returning to the farmhouse, Shen Qi met Lilligant and rode with her toward Island 5 to find scenery for the Pokémon Photography event.
• Lilligant led Shen Qi to a grove with a small pool, where a wild Sentret spotted him and squeaked to warn nearby Pokémon to flee.

Shen Qi photographed Lilligant at a forest pool and along a cliff, then brought her to the bridge between Islands 5 and 6 to capture the sunset. Lilligant grew more receptive to his suggestion that he pick her up next time, and Shen Qi began planning bridge shots.

• Shen Qi posed Lilligant beside a forest pool and took photos, but the images were too dark for the competition.
• Shen Qi and Lilligant moved to a cliffside, took more photos, and ate lunch together.
• Shen Qi drove the pink race car to Island 6 and hid it in a grove so Lilligant's identity would not be revealed.
• Shen Qi suggested picking Lilligant up on his Little Sheep next time, and she hesitated rather than refusing.
• Shen Qi and Lilligant walked onto the Inter-Island Bridge, where he considered how to frame a sunset photo and asked her to lean against the railing.

Shen Qi photographed Lilligant on a bridge, then heard from Xia Yang about a Perilla Racing Team reserve driver who had been dominating Island 6. Lilligant grew eager to test herself against the racer, while Shen Qi declined to risk the Little Sheep and their drive home brought their romance progress to 62%.

• Shen Qi photographed Lilligant by the bridge, and Xia Yang stopped to ask about her before mentioning a powerful new racer on Island 6.
• Xia Yang told Shen Qi that the Perilla Racing Team reserve driver had beaten him twice and was close to sweeping Islands 5 and 6.
• Lilligant became excited at the chance to test herself against the newcomer, whose team included T2 and T1-level racers.
• Shen Qi refused to challenge the racer with the Little Sheep because the risk of damaging the car outweighed the rewards.
• On the drive home, Lilligant reminded Shen Qi that he had promised to bring the Little Sheep next time, and their romance storyline reached 62%.
• Shen Qi reviewed the bridge photos, and Lilligant eagerly asked whether any had turned out well.

Shen Qi and Chansey weathered days of torrential rain while training and studying, then sheltered Pelipper and her three Wingull after their refuge failed. The Pelipper family settled into Shen Qi’s storeroom, where Chansey helped dry the young birds.

• Shen Qi watched Chansey train her punches in the rain and continued practicing Normal-type energy control, restoring the Adaptive Tire to full durability.
• Shen Qi invited Chansey to dinner and promised to buy her Pokémon feed if he won the photography event’s grand prize.
• Pelipper arrived at Shen Qi’s courtyard with her three Wingull, seeking shelter from the storm, and Shen Qi welcomed them inside.
• Pelipper and the Wingull settled in the ground-floor storeroom while Chansey used a towel to dry the young birds, fluffing up their feathers.

Shen Qi sheltered a Pelipper family and discovered the fish Pelipper brought as thanks included Luvdisc, whom Chansey took upstairs for treatment after Shen Qi startled him. The next night, Dev summoned Shen Qi to help save Chunhe’s Berry field from flooding, and Shen Qi set out through the storm with Chansey.

• A father Pelipper returned with fish for his family and gave some of his catch to Shen Qi as thanks.
• Shen Qi found Luvdisc among the fish, refused to eat him, and learned that Pelipper had accidentally caught him while he played hide-and-seek with his girlfriend.
• Luvdisc fainted when Shen Qi joked about cooking him, and Chansey carried him upstairs to treat his injury.
• Dev called Shen Qi during the night and asked him to help save Chunhe’s Berry field from being washed away.
• Shen Qi took Chansey and rode his Little Sheep through flooded roads toward Chunhe’s village, using adaptive tires to handle the mud.

During a flood threatening Chunhe's Berry field, Shen Qi and Chansey tried to clear a blocked gully and discovered energy coordination, a foundational Trainer technique. Chansey exhausted Mega Kick and boosted herself with repeated Work Ups as Shen Qi urged her to calm down.

• Shen Qi drove through the rain to Chunhe's Berry field, where rising water threatened to wash away the soil and ruin the crops.
• Chansey used Mega Kick to break rocks blocking the gully, but falling mud and sand repeatedly filled the gaps, while a borrowed pump clogged with sediment.
• Chansey realized Shen Qi had added Normal-type energy to her Mega Kick, and Shen Qi recognized the technique as energy coordination.
• Shen Qi and Chansey coordinated their energy to blast through a mass of mud and sand, but Mega Kick's damaged energy pathways reached their limit.
• Chansey used Work Up repeatedly to raise her Attack and Special Attack, and Shen Qi told her to calm down.

Chansey and Shen Qi weakened the flooded gully’s sediment wall with Double-Edge, helping drain water from the Berry field, while the Pelipper couple and Luvdisc joined the effort. Their moves and stamina began running low, but Luvdisc’s proficiency with Soak offered a new way to move large amounts of water.

• Chansey used boosted Double-Edge and Heal Pulse repeatedly until part of the sediment wall collapsed, then Shen Qi stopped her as she grew exhausted.
• The Pelipper couple and Luvdisc arrived, and Chansey explained the emergency and asked them to help drain the gully.
• Luvdisc and the Pelipper couple used Water Gun and Water Pulse alongside the pump and islanders, but their efforts could barely keep pace with the rising water.
• Shen Qi asked whether the Pelipper knew Surf or Soak, but they did not know either move.
• Luvdisc revealed he knew Soak, and his demonstration showed that it could scoop and move a large volume of water.

After the islanders’ efforts to save Chunhe’s Berry field seemed hopeless, the rain finally stopped. Shen Qi then worked with Lilligant on photos for the Pokémon Photography event and ended by offering her a Poké Ball.

• The Pelipper used Tailwind and water moves to reduce flooding, but the broken pump and exhausted Pokémon left the islanders unable to protect the Berry field.
• Chunhe apologized as the islanders gathered to mourn the field, then the clouds cleared and everyone celebrated surviving the storm.
• Shen Qi photographed Lilligant at a woodland clearing and chose a shot of her touching the water as his strongest contest entry.
• Shen Qi and Lilligant discussed the photography event and their time taking pictures together, with their romance storyline progress reaching 66%.
• Shen Qi told Lilligant he planned to give her a Poké Ball rather than Pokémon food.

Shen Qi avoided explaining his bond with Lilligant to Jixiang, who warned him about Shan Sheng, a professional racer seeking to beat a mysterious Little Sheep driver. After realizing he had nearly forgotten a delivery job, Shen Qi set off for Island 3 with Chansey, whose Ascetic Training would begin after the delivery.

• Shen Qi told Lilligant that they could complete the unfinished race together, but Jixiang interrupted them and Lilligant fled into the woods.
• Jixiang questioned Shen Qi about being out late, and he claimed he had stayed to practice energy perception with nocturnal Pokémon.
• Jixiang told Shen Qi that Shan Sheng of the Perilla Racing Team wanted to beat Tsareena and an unidentified driver who used a Little Sheep.
• Shen Qi wondered how a Little Sheep could defeat a professional driver's Class B Car, then remembered Dev had scheduled him for a delivery that night.
• Shen Qi called Chansey over, promised she would always have a place to stay, and drove to the market for a longer, higher-paying delivery to Island 3.
• Dev loaded local produce onto Shen Qi's Little Sheep and handed him a carefully packaged box.

Shen Qi strengthened his Little Sheep for a delivery, then ignored Shan Sheng’s attempt to challenge him on the mountain road. After Shan Sheng drove off, he called his sister and continued searching the Sevii Islands for two opponents, including a remarkably fast Little Sheep.

• Shen Qi used Chansey’s Defense Curl and Work Up, and trained his control of Normal-type energy to prepare the overloaded Little Sheep for its delivery.
• Shen Qi asked Chansey about Point Cave in Ruins Valley, then drove toward Island 3 while she helped him steer.
• Shan Sheng followed Shen Qi’s Little Sheep to challenge him, but Shen Qi refused to race because of the valuable cargo.
• Shan Sheng pulled alongside Shen Qi, recognized him as an ordinary merchant rather than the Little Sheep driver he sought, and sped away.
• Shan Sheng stopped between Trail Mountain and Marker Mountain and told his sister he had not found the two opponents he was seeking.

Shen Qi offered Chansey a Poké Ball and asked her to become his partner, then struggled to figure out how to use it. After they learned to activate the ball, Chansey began entering it as they prepared to train together.

• Shen Qi said goodbye to Chansey outside Ruins Valley and worried about her training alone in the mountains.
• Shen Qi offered Chansey a Poké Ball and asked her to become his partner so they could train and fight together.
• Chansey accepted, but Shen Qi accidentally struck her in the face with the Poké Ball because he did not know how to use it.
• Shen Qi and Chansey studied the Poké Ball’s instructions and learned that they needed to use energy to activate it.
• Shen Qi opened the Poké Ball with Normal-type energy as Chansey prepared to enter.

Shen Qi parted with Chansey as she left to train, then brought Lilligant to Island 3 to take photos and spend time together. He tried to ease her fear of the Rope Bridge and ended the outing by offering her expensive Pewter Rice Crackers.

• Shen Qi gave Chansey Pokémon food and said he would collect her after she returned from training, while Chansey asked him to bring Lilligant home too.
• Chansey entered her Poké Ball and left for the mountains, and Shen Qi realized he had become a Trainer as his romance progress with her reached 51%.
• Shen Qi decided to save his Script Detector until after Chansey returned and the Pokémon Photography event ended.
• Shen Qi took Lilligant to Island 3 to photograph her on the swaying Rope Bridge, where she trembled with fear and he secretly enjoyed the resulting pictures.
• After leaving the bridge, Lilligant hugged Shen Qi for comfort, and he offered her a bag of Pewter Rice Crackers despite her saying they were expensive.
