Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

This is a point that Articuno has never addressed in its narrative.

Articuno, lost in its sorrowful memories, snapped out of it and stared at Su Hao, saying, "You... don't you feel anything?"

"Negative emotions are everywhere in this sky, on this land, and in the air; negative energy left over from the war."

Articuno used to be able to resist these things only thanks to the daily protection of the higher deities. Now, it also needs to exercise its authority to keep these filthy things out.

"what?

"I don't feel anything..." Su Hao was dumbfounded.

Articuno: "???"

"You're... truly amazing."

[Buzzing...buzzing...weak signal...alien energy detected...activated...buzzing...]

Su Hao: "!!!"

To be honest, he hadn't realized that not only could he not open the system panel, but he also couldn't take anything out of his inventory!

What's going on? Is the system this slow?

However, he was still somewhat worried about the current state of the system...

"These ubiquitous alien energies are difficult for ordinary Pokémon to shake off once they get involved, and they can easily become puppets of dark matter if they are not careful."

"Even I, who was at the Heavenly King level at the time, needed the protection of the gods to be able to enter the battlefield, let alone Diancie who had no authority and Blazing Roar Tiger who was only at the elite level."

"So, you're completely unharmed, I'm really surprised."

Articuno stared intently at Su Hao, as if trying to see a flower bloom in his eyes.

He didn't dwell on it; this wasn't the place for pressing the issue. Articuno changed the subject: "In short, we shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's get to Run!!!"

Su Hao: "!!!"

Is this place suitable for moisturizing?

As expected of Articuno, he easily accomplished what we couldn't!

So cool and hot!!!

Arceus

Chapter 176 This is the battlefield I command!

"Is this... a place where I can get lubricated?" Su Hao asked hesitantly.

Wasn't this place banished from their universe by Arceus?

Ultimately, how did this thing manage to precisely create a hole under his feet...?

"Of course it is possible... To be honest, this area was once one of the Allied Forces' bases. Although the passage of time and the ravages of sand have obscured its original appearance, there is still a one-time, one-way teleportation channel set up by Lord Palukia nearby!"

"It is said that... this was set up at the request of Lord Dialga, and Lord Palkia was also puzzled."

"However, we were lucky to arrive here; if we had gone any further, we might have encountered unknown dangers on the way!"

The Articuno spoke lightly, thankfully it had been in this area before and knew this information, otherwise it and Su Hao would have been trapped here...

"But wouldn't setting up a teleportation channel be exploited by dark matter that might break through in the future, or by the remaining remnants of the enemy?"

Su Hao was somewhat worried; the risk of this one-way teleportation channel seemed a bit high.

"Oh? Don't worry about that. Each passage has a special function to identify whether it belongs to a creature from this world; otherwise, it won't activate!"

Articuno pats his muscular chest and guarantees that the two Time Gods will not fail!

Su Hao: "......"

To be honest, Su Hao's impression of Dialga and Palkia was that they were a slightly reliable time god and a space god who couldn't solve the problem of spatial collapse...

Dialga was alright, but Palkia, before seeing the individual in this world, still seemed somewhat unreliable to him.

However, having a teleportation channel is already extremely fortunate, and it's not his place to be picky.

"Shall we head to the teleportation portal now?" Su Hao suggested.

Although he didn't feel anything at all, after Articuno's explanation, he still felt a bit uneasy about this place full of negative energy and negative emotions. He wanted to moisturize it as soon as possible.

“Okay, lock up the Luxury Ball and make sure they don’t get out. We’ll go over there,” Articuno emphasized.

Whether the minions of dark matter still exist in this spirit world, they did not know, but flying in the air would undoubtedly make them easy targets, so Articuno, who followed the path of survival, decided to go there anyway.

The flying ice god occasionally comes close to the ground!

"I locked it after you finished talking. Luckily, the Poké Balls can also detect what's happening outside, and they're all very quiet," Su Hao replied after confirming the status of the Luxury Balls again.

He was very glad that he had listened to Articuno and hadn't released Diancie and the others.

Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to explain himself to Xerneas, Latias, Latios, Giratina, and even himself...

Articuno strides forward, moving with great strides yet with elegance, toward the place buried deep in its memory.

Su Hao followed closely behind Articuno, when he suddenly remembered something: "Articuno, what is Giratina doing?"

Giratina just dumped him and Draco Messia on Articuno and ran off, and nobody knows what he did next. We haven't seen him for a long time.

"I don't know. Giratina didn't say anything to me before she left, but I don't think she'll come back during that period [which could be as short as a year or as long as several decades], right?"

Articuno hesitated, for it truly had no idea where Giratina had gone.

What an irresponsible adoptive father!

Su Hao was speechless. Wouldn't he be missing one of his favorite gods to shake now?!

"However, once your little Dragapult masters Giratina's Shadow Sneak, perhaps it can contact Him in the Distortion World?" Articuno boldly speculated.

"I hope so... Wait, is that the teleportation channel you mentioned?"

Before Su Hao could finish speaking, he followed Articuno to a slightly flatter, but still somewhat bumpy, place.

The space here is rather narrow, and it took Articuno quite a bit of effort to squeeze through the layers of rocks.

These massive rocks act as a natural barrier against the sky.

They would almost never find this place, and they generally wouldn't waste their energy squeezing in on the ground.

A small altar, emitting a faint pinkish-purple glow and barely visible unless you look closely, appeared in front of him and Articuno.

“Yes, that’s one of the few one-way teleportation channels left by Lord Palkia at Lord Dialga’s request,” Articuno confirmed.

Although in His memory, this teleportation channel was very grand in scale and special effects, He now prefers an energy-saving mode or a stealth mode.

"Indeed, it's very well concealed. So, how do we activate it?"

Su Hao tilted his head. Shouldn't Articuno be the one to step in in this situation?

"It's very simple. This teleportation channel is set so that as long as a creature with the aura of this world stands on it, the pre-programmed teleportation procedure will be automatically activated."

"At the same time, this teleportation channel has a very powerful scanning function. Only creatures native to this world can open it. Forging an aura will absolutely not work," Articuno said confidently.

He had great faith in the passageway set up by the two Time Gods.

"That's good. I was worried that the dark matter might develop intelligence and specifically mimic the aura of the Pokémon that died here to invade our world through this passage. Since you've assured me this, it shouldn't happen..."

Su Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the two gods of time and space in this world were more reliable than those two reckless brutes who would fight over natural energy whenever they met.

Articuno: "......"

Articuno...?

Su Hao looked at Articuno with a puzzled expression. What was wrong with it? Why was it suddenly not saying anything?

"No, it's nothing! Let's go!!" There was a hint of panic in Articuno's voice as it grabbed Su Hao by the collar with its beak and quickly stood on the teleportation tunnel.

"Buzz buzz----"

The pink and purple light spots around them hesitated and swept past them repeatedly, then suddenly shone brightly as if they had confirmed something!

"Hey, isn't this making a bit too much noise?!"

Su Hao, perched on Articuno's back, spoke with a hint of fear.

As the pinkish-purple light transformed into a pillar of light that shot into the sky, Su Hao and Articuno's figures gradually disappeared in the center of the altar...

......

This was an exceptional experience of spatial teleportation, without any dizziness or discomfort. Su Hao couldn't help but praise Paluccia's skillful driving!

"here it is?"

Su Hao looked around. Although the environment was still relatively dark, at least the oppressive feeling was gone.

"It should be... somewhere in a secret realm, right?"

Articuno was somewhat uncertain; it seemed to sense a familiar presence here...

"Well, now that we've left that place, there shouldn't be any problems!"

Su Hao changed his timid tone and waved his hand, saying, "This is the battlefield I will command!"

In his home field, he can activate cards to summon Latias, Latios, and Articuno!
