Chapter 231: Celestial Energy at Critical Amount

Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Celestial Energy at Critical AmountCana: "Daddy~."

Nate had no idea why she was laughing.

Scrolling back through the chat history, he found his earlier message:

"Listen to Daddy, stop drinking."

Turns out she was just playing along with his joke and calling him "Daddy."

Sigma Male: "Awake? How are you feeling?"

He was a bit concerned about her condition. After all, it was her first time, and things had gotten a little out of hand last night.

Cana: "I'm fine, not hurting much. Daddy's amazing~ ??."

Cana: "But quitting drinking? Impossible! ??."

True to form for someone who started drinking alone at 13, the idea of giving up alcohol wasn't even on the table.

Nate wasn't going to force her, but he still worried about the toll heavy drinking would take on her body.

Sigma Male: "What does alcohol mean to you?"

Cana: "It's the water of life!"

Her quick reply left Nate speechless.

Cana: "If Daddy promises not to touch my 'pandas' again, I'll quit drinking! ??."

Sigma Male: "You win!"

Cana's boldness never ceased to amaze him. Every so often, she'd throw out a jaw-dropping comment.

Cana: "You big perv! ??."

Cana: "Looking forward to our next date~ ??."

Sigma Male: "Get some rest. And try to cut back on the drinking—it's bad for you to overdo it."

Cana: "Got it~ You're just like Daddy, so annoying! ?????."

Sigma Male: "Once a Daddy, always a Daddy! You'll have to call me that in private forever! ??."

Cana: "How about I start calling you that at the guild too? I'm fine with it~." S~eaʀᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

...

Nate arrived back at his apartment while casually chatting with Cana.

Once there, he resumed creating new Pokémon. Having gained plenty of experience, he was now much faster at designing them.

The real challenge wasn't creating the Pokémon themselves but replicating their moves.

Building a Celestial doll? Simple. But customizing the moves to suit each Pokémon? That was labor-intensive.

Some moves were especially tricky. For example:

- Jigglypuff's 'Sing' required sleep magic.

- Abra's 'Teleport' needed teleportation magic. While Nate's Flying Thunder God technique could work, it felt like overkill for a simple Pokémon.

- Ditto's 'Transform' required transformation magic.

In short, most of the difficulty came from moves with unique mechanics.

After three long hours, he finally finished a new Pokémon: Rattata.

Just then, a private message popped up.

Ur: "Nate, reserve magic has hit the warning threshold!"

Sigma Male: "Someone drained the magic bank?!"

Ur: "Not pure magic—it's Celestial energy."

Seeing this, Nate thought to himself: 'It's happening. Finally.'

He'd known this moment was coming—Celestial energy wouldn't hold up forever.

On one hand, it was needed to create the Celestial Pokémon dolls. On the other, every time a Pokémon leveled up, the system awarded Celestial energy.

When a Pokémon reached certain levels, the accumulated Celestial energy would trigger its evolution, changing its appearance.

Sigma Male: "Got it. I'll handle it right away."

After replying to Ur, Nate prepared to visit the Celestial Spirit World and have a talk with the Celestial Spirit King.

The king had invited him multiple times as a guest. This time, he had no choice but to go.

Before heading out, Nate decided to inform the Celestial Spirit King.

Sigma Male: "Celestial Spirit King, I'd like to visit the Celestial Spirit World. I have a favor to ask of you."

Celestial Spirit King: "So, you're finally willing to come? I've been waiting for so long."

Not really, Nate thought. A single day in the Celestial Spirit World is equivalent to three months in the human world.

He decided not to bring Lucy along this time and sent her a message.

Recently, Lucy had been busy entertaining her counterpart, Edolas Lucy, taking her everywhere. Nate wondered how much money she had left.

Lucy: "What? You're going to the Celestial Spirit World? I'm coming! I absolutely have to go!"

Sigma Male: "Where are you right now?"

Lucy: "At Balsam Town. The hot spring street here is super fun. You should come with me next time!"

Lucy: "There's also a famous restaurant here called 'Super Express.' It's super popular."

Lucy: "[Picture 1, Picture 2, Picture 3]."

Like most girls, Lucy enjoyed sharing her experiences with her boyfriend.

Nate clicked on the pictures and admitted it looked lively. He recalled Balsam Town was just west of Magnolia—not too far away.

Maybe when it snowed, he could bring Ur for a snowy hot spring visit.

Sigma Male: "Is Big Sis Lucy with you too?"

Lucy: "Her name is Ashley! Knock on the head.jpg."

Lucy: "Anyway, wait for me. We'll head back right away."

Nate thought about telling her there was no rush—they could take their time playing. The warning threshold for Celestial energy reserves could sustain them for another two or three days.

...

After waiting for about an hour, Lucy arrived at the apartment.

"Nate! Let's go!"

She looked thrilled, albeit a bit out of breath, clearly having rushed back.

"Where's Ashley?" Nate noticed she was alone.

"She went to the guild. She's pretty worn out from playing today. Anyway, let's head to the Celestial Spirit World!"

Lucy excitedly grabbed Nate's hand. "But... how are we supposed to get there?"

"Call Virgo. She can take us."

"Oh, right!"

Lucy quickly summoned Virgo.

Virgo: "You called for me, Princess?"

Virgo, dressed as a maid, bowed gracefully—but to Nate:

"Nate-sama, it's a pleasure to meet you again. The Celestial Spirit King awaits your arrival."

Lucy: "..."

'I'm the summoner here, for crying out loud!'

Suddenly, Lucy remembered something.

"But humans can't survive in the Celestial Spirit World, right? What should we do?"

"Don't worry, Princess. You just need to change into Celestial Spirit attire."

Virgo clapped her hands, and two sets of Celestial Spirit World clothing—one male, one female—appeared.

Virgo: "Princess, shall I assist you in changing?"

Lucy: "No, I can do it myself."

Grabbing the women's outfit, Lucy headed for the bathroom. "I'll go first, Nate."

Virgo sighed regretfully and turned to Nate.

Virgo: "Nate-sama, shall I help you change?"

Nate: "Sure."

Nate had barely nodded when—

Lucy: "No way!"

Lucy burst out of the bathroom, grabbed Nate by the arm, and dragged him inside.

"I'll help my boyfriend change!"

Nate chuckled. Lucy was too easy to tease.

Virgo mimicked Happy, covering her mouth with her hand. "Scandalous~~~"

Lucy: "I said he's my boyfriend!"

"Hmph. Once we get to the Celestial Spirit World and meet Aquarius, she'll never tease me about not having a boyfriend again~!"

After a bit of chaos, they finished changing. With Virgo's assistance, Nate and Lucy finally entered the Celestial Spirit World.
