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

After all, the broken teapot is a special item that can not only be used as an evolution tool, but can also be used to brew tea.

The tea brewed from the broken teapot has an exceptionally fragrant aroma and an unforgettable aftertaste.

Unfortunately, the teapot in his hand was an evolved counterfeit of the teapot used for mourning.

Wouldn't a teapot with a minor defect make for a tea with a more flavorful taste?

I really want one, but unfortunately, damaged teapots are much rarer and harder to obtain than broken ones.

Su Hao praised, "I've only ever drunk tea brewed from a broken teapot before. This is the first time I've tasted tea brewed from a cracked teapot. I wonder what it will taste like?"

The teapot set in his house was a gift from Grandpa Xia, the retired Fire King who rarely visits. I can pay him a visit next time I go to Chongqing.

After all, Incineroar is almost becoming half Electric-type Pokémon, so we need to increase the training focus on Fire-type moves.

?

Chi Ze's face twitched, feeling as if he had been shot in the knee.

He poured the brewed tea from the teapot into a cup and handed it to Su Hao: "I see."

"...Then we definitely need to try it."

Su Hao picked up the teacup, and a faint, refreshing aroma wafted to his nose; the warm tea was fragrant and wafting gently.

This tea is clearly made from a variety that is different from other teas; it must be a rather special type.

Su Hao tasted it with an air of expertise: "The aroma blends into the water, it's mellow and sweet, and then there's a slight bitterness left. It doesn't seem like a common variety."

Chi Ze's wrinkles twitched, and his eyes lit up: "You have good taste!"

"This is tea that I left behind after I moved from my hometown to the capital. It's a secret family heirloom!"

Su Hao grasped the key point: "Within the clan?"

Chi Ze touched his gray hair and said self-deprecatingly, "I almost forgot the important matter. The older you get, the worse your memory becomes."

"It's like this, young friend Su Hao. Are you familiar with the Sea People?"

Remembering what he needed to do, Chi Ze got straight to the point.

Su Hao asked suspiciously, "People of the Sea?"

Su Hao had a vague recollection; he remembered it was related to the group connected to Manaphy...

But you're the Flying-type Gym Leader?

How did this get involved with the water system?

Having experienced countless trials, Chi Ze naturally knew what Su Hao's suspicious gaze meant. He coughed awkwardly a few times: "Ahem, aren't Gyarados, Pelipper, Swans, Manta Ray, and Crescent Moon also Flying-type Pokémon?"

"really."

Seeing that he had convinced Su Hao, Chi Ze continued, "The original sea people relied on the sea for their livelihood and were skilled at fishing. At the same time, we worshipped the Three Pillar Gods."

"Kyogre, the embodiment of the sea."

"The Prince of the Sea - Manaphy".

"Lugia, the god of the sea, or rather, the god of ocean currents and monsoons."

"In modern times, people from the sea can be found all over the world. For example, I come from the lineage that now lives in Shanghai."

Su Hao stroked his chin; it was the first time he had ever heard of the existence of the Sea People in Shanghai.

Chi Ze suddenly stood up and went to the display case that Su Hao had noticed earlier, and started fiddling with it.

With a click and the sound of gears turning, the display case slowly slid to the right.

A moment later, a passage that clearly led to the secret chamber appeared before Su Hao's eyes.

Su Hao asked, puzzled, "What is this...?"

Chi Ze gestured invitingly: "Please follow me."

Su Hao couldn't help but activate the waveguide for a moment, and a blue light flashed from his pupils.

Soon after, Su Hao took a step and followed.

Waveguide did not detect any negative aura or malice from Chi Ze.

The staircase was pitch black, with the only source of light being the flashlight in Chi Ze's hand.

"First tier, tenth tier, hundredth tier..."

Su Hao followed Chi Ze's footsteps and continued walking downhill. Based on the height they had walked, they estimated that they had at least gone from the top floor to the underground.

After a while, as if he had reached the bottom, Chi Ze stopped and looked at Su Hao.

Before them lay a cave containing a small, ancient altar.

------------

Flame Rabbit, Blazing Ace.

Chapter 277 Sea, Ocean Currents, Monsoons

Su Hao's mouth dropped open. There was such a large cave beneath the Flying Wing Dojo?

And why does that altar look so familiar?

A shrine surrounded by several stone pillars, with three holes in the center?

Articuno suddenly spoke in Su Hao's mind: "This is Lugia's altar."

His tone revealed undisguised shock.

The next second, He realized something was wrong and overturned His own statement: "No, this is a counterfeit."

"Su Hao, ask that person what's going on."

After saying that, Articuno fell silent.

Su Hao thought to himself that it was indeed the altar that appeared during Lugia's birth. He composed himself and looked at Chi Ze.

His expression seemed somewhat sad.

Before Su Hao could think further, Chi Ze solemnly asked, "Young friend Su Hao, may we release the Warrior Eagle?"

Su Hao nodded.

The next moment, the Emerald Warrior Eagle appeared in the cave.

He shook his feathers and looked around curiously.

Su Hao stroked the feathers of the Warrior Eagle to signal him to wait a moment, and then looked at Chi Ze.

Chi Ze rummaged around in the shrine for a while and pulled out a pitch-black box of unknown material.

"This is......?"

Chi Ze fiddled with the black box with trembling hands. After a moment, a crisp click sounded, and the box was slowly opened.

Chi Ze took out the contents of the box and approached Su Hao's Emerald Warrior Eagle with light steps.

After Chi Ze took out the contents of the box, Su Hao couldn't hold back any longer.

The cry of Articuno echoed in his mind, and a list of data reappeared in his field of vision.

Silver Feather

[A divine relic passed down through generations of the Sea People, a magical feather radiating silver light—the real one is right before you.]

?

A question mark involuntarily appeared above Su Hao's head.

Chi Ze, holding a silver feather, approached the Emerald Warrior Eagle.

The feathers, emitting a faint silver glow, suddenly burst into a dazzling light comparable to an A1 flash the moment they approached him.

Chi Ze squinted, ignoring the blinding light, and a tear rolled down his cheek as he said, "As expected, your Warrior Eagle once had contact with the sea god Lugia!"

Su Hao was stunned for a moment.

So that big blue and white bird isn't some Swan or a Bigmouth Gull, but actually Lugia!

Wow, I never expected that even the Emerald Warrior Eagle is related to a mythical beast.

After thinking for a moment, Su Hao pretended not to know and asked with doubt, "Is Lugia a Water-type Pokémon?"

Chi Ze was speechless at Su Hao's innocent question, and the same question flashed through his mind.

Since Lugia is a sea god, and also has feathers.

It must be a Water/Flying type Pokémon!

After a long pause, Chi Ze said quietly, "I really don't know the attributes of the sea god Lugia, but I guess it should be water + flight!"

"But let's put that issue aside for now. Would you like to hear a story?"

Su Hao's eye twitched. Why was he telling stories again?

After a long pause, he nodded.

Upon hearing this, Chi Ze took a deep breath and began to tell the story in detail.
