Genshin Impact: Selling Pokemons in Teyvat

"Can something like this really be done?" 

Keqing stared in awe at the world of sand and dust before her. The massive creature, as large as a mountain, was brought to a halt by the fine grains of sand. 

The sand, which stung when it hit human skin, felt like a soft veil on the Chi's body. But within this veil, the Chi's movements were as slow and obvious as if they were in slow motion. 

The Chi panicked, trying to control the water to wash away the sand that seemed to have come alive on its body, but it was no use. 

"Go, bring them back." 

Li Pan, holding a jar in his hand, spoke softly to Landorus. 

As soon as the words left his mouth, Landorus slowly rose into the air, transforming into a meteor as it charged toward the conspicuous Chi Beast. 

After two Swords Dances, Landorus's aura had increased to a terrifying level. Its charge toward the Chi was like a landslide. 

"Damn it! That thing is catching up! Use your invincible vitality and think of something!" 

The Abyss Mage, who had been clinging to the scales on the Chi's neck, turned around and saw a yellowish meteor rushing toward them. It frantically slapped the Chi's scales. 

"Get off! Do you think I don't want to run? But this thing is holding me down, I can't move!" 

The Chi was sweating profusely. Even the Overlord of the Vortex, Osial, hadn't been able to stop this thing. What chance did it have? 

"And you, Abyss Order, aren't you supposed to be powerful? You even brought out the remains of an Archon to control me. Think of something!" 

The anxious Chi roared. The sand on its body was like ropes, tightly binding it in place. It could only move forward in a wriggling motion. 

"No, I can't stay with you. I have to run!" 

Seeing the Chi's movements grow slower, the Abyss Mage grew increasingly panicked. It jumped off the Chi's body and began running away on its short, comical legs. 

The Chi was furious and reached out to grab the hem of the Abyss Mage's robe. 

"You're just going to run away after releasing me?" 

Its tone was resentful, like a scorned woman abandoned by a scoundrel. 

The Abyss Mage stumbled and fell to the ground, kicking the Chi's claw with its short legs. 

"Get off! I brought you back to life, aren't you satisfied? What more do you want?" 

The Chi was also frantic: "You didn't say I'd be brought back to life just to get beaten up! Before I was sealed, I was beaten by Morax. Now that I'm revived, I'm being beaten by this thing. Did I come back for nothing?" 

As soon as the words left its mouth, the yellowish meteor was right behind it. 

Landorus swooped down from the sky, its gaze as sharp as an eagle's. 

The Chi below was the true culprit behind the flooding of Qingce Village's farmland. 

In its Incarnate Forme, Landorus raised its right arm high. Its muscular shoulder bulged with veins, and brown energy representing Fighting-type power flickered on its fist. 

Hammer Arm! 

Amplified by two Swords Dances and the force of its descent, this Hammer Arm achieved an effect greater than the sum of its parts. 

Boom!!! 

The Hammer Arm landed on the Chi's body, and a tremendous force was injected into the Chi's tough form. A massive crater appeared centered on the Chi's body. 

At the same time, although the weather had been forcibly changed to a sandstorm by Landorus, the floodwaters on the ground hadn't disappeared. With the creation of this deep pit, the floodwaters poured in, revealing the muddy farmland below. 

With a single punch, Landorus had created an artificial lake large enough to hold all the floodwaters of Qingce Village! 

The Millelith in the distance felt the ground shake violently, almost as if an earthquake had struck, and they were about to order everyone to take cover. 

Fortunately, the tremors subsided after a short while. 

But halfway up the mountain, Keqing and Xiangling saw everything clearly. Their eyes widened in shock, their mouths agape, their expressions almost resembling the infamous "ahegao" face. 

Especially Keqing. She had also used a sword technique that descended from the sky during her battle with the Chi, but why was the effect so different? 

The punch from the sky had turned the Chi or rather, what was now Chi paste-into paste, while her sword technique hadn't even managed to cut through the creature's scales? 

"Mr. Li… is this the power of a Legendary Pokémon?" 

Li Pan, who had been standing halfway up the mountain with his hands behind his back, admiring Landorus's power, suddenly heard someone call him. 

He turned around and saw Keqing and Xiangling, covered in dust, running toward him. 

"Oh, it's Miss Keqing and Miss Xiangling. Hello. Also, I'd like to correct something-not all Legendary Pokémon are like Landorus. Even among Legendary Pokémon of the same tier, Landorus's combat ability is top-tier." 

Li Pan wasn't lying. He was indeed referring to Legendary Pokémon of the same tier, not including the likes of the Creation Trio or the Weather Trio. 

"So that's how it is…" 

Hearing this, Keqing nodded. That made sense. 

"Don't lose heart, Miss Keqing. Pokémon are full of infinite possibilities. Perhaps one day, you'll be able to catch a Legendary Pokémon, or train your Pokémon to be as strong as one." 

Seeing that Keqing hadn't responded for a while, Li Pan thought that Landorus's display had discouraged the serious young woman, so he offered some words of comfort. 

"Mr. Li, can something like this really be done?" 

"Of course. While innate potential and species are significant constraints for Pokémon, life is always full of surprises. Serendipity and relentless effort are also crucial factors in determining a Pokémon's strength. Innate conditions like talent only determine a Pokémon's lower limit." 

To prevent Keqing from losing her way, Li Pan poured a bowl of motivational soup into the young woman's heart. 

It seemed to work. After hearing these words, Keqing suddenly looked up, her face flushed with excitement, muttering to herself. 

"Innate conditions only determine a Pokémon's lower limit…" 

Keqing's eyes grew brighter. These words were like a ray of sunlight piercing through the long-standing haze in her heart, which had been clouded by doubt. 

These words weren't just about Pokémon, they were a wake-up call for her. After this battle, Keqing had realized just how vast the gap between her and the Geo Archon was, and it had even caused a moment of doubt in the proud young woman's heart. 

The enemies they would face in the future were so powerful. Did they really stand a chance without the protection of the Geo Archon? 

But Li Pan's words had completely awakened her. Temporary weakness didn't mean anything. By leveraging her strengths, even the weakest could defeat the strongest! 

At the same time, without even realizing it, Keqing's gaze toward Li Pan had softened considerably.
