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

The peaceful Giant Coal Mountain tribe, driven out of their home by humans, may very well retaliate against other humans and launch an attack, just as happened earlier.

Both logically and emotionally, Su Hao felt he should go and see.

Giant Coal Mountain hesitated, and the temperature of the coal behind him rose along with his struggle.

After a while, he looked at Su Hao, and then at the particularly beautiful mineral Pokémon behind him.

"Carbon~"

In the end, trust prevailed, and Giant Coal Mountain decided to trust humanity one more time.

Signaling Su Hao to follow, Giant Charcoal Mountain's dark and heavy body walked towards the familiar passage.

Su Hao and the Pokémon exchanged glances, and a red light flashed.

Leorio and Ibrahimovic were caught by him and the ball was retrieved, leaving only Tiansi and Doronic outside.

What happens next is unknown, so let's keep them both in their safe Poké Balls.

Under the guidance of Giant Coal Mountain, Su Hao was no longer a headless fly running around aimlessly, and smoothly made his way into the depths of the mine.

Diancie closed her eyes slightly to sense the energy in the air and reminded him through her waveguide, "The concentration of fire attribute energy is increasing, and it's almost equal to that of rock attribute energy now."

Upon hearing this, Su Hao frowned slightly.

Sure enough, there was something fishy going on in this mine.

Fire, rock, or terrestrial energies can coexist harmoniously and in balance in only a few places.

Environments such as volcanoes and underground magma.

The parts of this mine that have already been excavated do not contain these things. Although coal can generate heat under the influence of external forces, it is by no means the reason for the increased concentration of fire-attribute energy.

As time went by, under the guidance of Jutanshan, Su Hao clearly felt the changes in the environment.

First, a small amount of coal began to appear around them. Giant Coal Mountain explained that this was the place where their clan first found coal.

After the Giant Coal Mountain tribe settled down, they consumed the surface coal over time, and the passageway continued to extend downwards.

Su Hao couldn't understand why anyone would still be vying for this place when coal is already an obsolete resource for modern humans.

"carbon......"

Giant Coal Mountain, who was leading the way, stopped and looked at the distance with some fear in his eyes.

Su Hao made a pause gesture, and Tianxi instantly understood his meaning. The pink light that had been illuminating the passage dissipated.

The mine was plunged into darkness once again, with only the coal on the back of the giant coal mountain emitting a faint red glow.

Su Hao asked in a low voice, "Is it just ahead?"

Giant Coal Mountain nodded; the culprit who drove their clan away was still inside.

The opponent's Water-type Pokémon were too much of a threat to them.

Su Hao followed the gaze of the giant coal mountain and saw a huge space that was more like a cave than a mine.

Colorless and odorless coal in its unburned state is everywhere, no wonder the Giant Coal Mountain Clan chose to settle here.

The cave, which should have been dark and without light, was now brightly lit, with shadows swaying and flickering from time to time.

Su Hao thought for a moment and then told Giant Coal Mountain to move to the very back.

The smell and light from the burning coal on his body could easily alert the enemy and reveal their location.

"Dronki, use Ghost-type energy to slightly conceal our presence and reduce our visibility."

Upon hearing this, Duolongqi gathered Ghost-type energy, and a chilling aura surrounded the three pets and the person.

One of the characteristics of Ghost-type energy is to reduce their presence and minimize noise, so they cautiously crept forward.

A moment later, the scene inside the cave came into view.

A burly man with short, light blue hair and a

A slender woman with long, light blue hair was gathered in front of a bunch of screens, seemingly doing something.

Su Hao's eyes widened in surprise. Based on these hair color characteristics, along with the Water-type Pokémon that Coalossal mentioned, it was basically confirmed that these two people were indeed from the Water People.

Why did they rob the caves of the Giant Coal Mountain tribe?

"carbon--!"

A somewhat anxious and flustered voice came through the waveguide channel from Giant Coal Mountain. Su Hao followed his gaze and his pupils contracted slightly.

Those were several small charcoal miners and a large charcoal cart, all locked in a huge iron cage. They looked rather unwell and weak.

Upon seeing his companion captured, Giant Coal Mountain became instantly agitated, and the burning coals on his back seemed poised to erupt into flames.

A slightly naive voice came through the waveguide channel: "I can give you all the minerals and gems I've collected."

"They haven't eaten coal in a long time, please save them."

It was the voice of Giant Coal Mountain. He was looking at Su Hao pleadingly, begging for Su Hao's help.

After thinking for a moment, Su Hao accepted the commission from Giant Coal Mountain.

However, now is not the time to make a move; he plans to observe these two water people first.

A jumble of clues swirled and collided in his mind, and his intuition told him that there was something wrong with these two people.

Before he could figure it out, the woman suddenly slammed her hand on the table, startling the burly man next to her.

The man complained, "Chi Bi, what are you doing! You scared me to death!"

Chi Bi said resentfully, "Tch, the plan has failed."

"Chi Xu, prepare to withdraw from the Divine Continent Alliance!"

Su Haoxing's eyes narrowed slightly; as expected, these two were from the Water People.

Which faction are you from?

They have the same surname, and this place is quite a distance from the Demon City. Could it be that they are Lugia's faction, just like Chi Ze, the gym leader of Winged Dojo, who is far away in the capital?

However, the woman named Chi Bi mentioned the "plan" again. Could they be followers of the Sea King when he betrayed the Water People?

Not long ago, a major incident occurred that almost flooded Shanghai. Could they have been involved in it?

Su Hao decided to eavesdrop on their conversation again.

The burly man, whom Chi Bi called Chi Xu, scratched his head, clearly very surprised: "How could we have failed?"

"That's the surface energy that the indigo jewel has accumulated over countless years."

"Apart from the core energy that only Kyogre, the creator of the ocean, can unleash, the tsunami unleashed by the Indigo Orb cannot be stopped by anyone but a master or a legend!"

Chi Bi was speechless. She hadn't expected that the opportunity she had finally seized within the tight protective net of the Divine Continent Alliance would be ruined by a passing scruffy bird.

She said irritably, "The tsunami that Lord Chi Lang stirred up has been frozen and stopped by the God of Ice, and the three sacred beasts that arrived later have also destroyed it."

"The plan has failed, and the retaliation from the Divine Continent Alliance will likely come soon. According to Lord Chi Lang, we should lay low for now."

"But it's not a loss either. The subordinates of the other chosen ones in the organization and the R Research Institute will share the firepower with us, and then Lord Chi Lang can take the opportunity to improve his status."

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

Thank you everyone for the gifts, arigato~

Gardevoir.

Chapter 317 I'll beat you to your knees

Chi Bi thought that, in any case, the other chosen ones would only become obstacles for Lord Chi Lang to receive the blessing.

Just like the tenth Nightmare who died mysteriously within the territory of the Divine Continent Alliance, his legacy has been completely looted.

Having received advance notice, the fifth faction has already concealed its claws and gone into hiding.

The Divine Continent Alliance's thunderous fury can only be directed at the forces of its other rivals.

Two dogs fight, play off.

When the other factions, whose power has been weakened, are in a state of decline, it is the perfect opportunity for Lord Chi Lang to improve his ranking.

Chi Xu could only sigh, "Under the strict defense of the Divine Continent Alliance, we finally found this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. What a pity."

"In the end, they only managed to wipe out a bunch of old fogies from the Lugia faction, and even the trail to the Silver Feather was lost."

"That former leader of the Lugia faction who went on to become the museum's master is a real tough nut to crack." Chi Bi began to deal with their traces of presence, complaining slightly, "He wouldn't reveal the location of the Silver Feather even on his deathbed..."

"You've seen that video, haven't you? He was cut so many times by the Greatsword Demon's foot blade before he died, but he didn't utter a sound."

Chi Bi laughed and seemed very pleased.

"Hmm... I still feel like I can't take it anymore."

"You're so big, yet you're such a coward!"

After complaining, Chi Bi began searching for the bombs she had prepared, intending to blow up the mountain after leaving.

This way, all traces of their residence can be completely erased.

As for the Pokémon living in the caves?

Who cares if they live or die!
