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

..............................

The official Master Ball-level rankings, as well as the hidden Road to Champions qualifiers, concluded with the defeats of Su Xu and the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile, and the victories of Long Tianxing and the Salamence.

Since becoming a Champion-level trainer, Su Xu's Master Ball ranking has soared from 66th to 30th, while Long Tianxing, who challenged him, was only in the 50s before the competition and had not even assembled a team of Champion-level Pokémon.

This unexpected upset surprised most viewers.

Regardless of the rise and fall of the rankings, although Su Xu has lost before, his defeat still sparked a small wave of discussion.

Online opinions are divided, with some saying that Su Xu didn't use his absolute ace, Charizard, otherwise the outcome would have been uncertain.

Some people say that even if Su Xu used Charizard, he would only be able to withstand a few more hits from a Salamence in that state.

However, the heated online discussions did not affect the person involved.

In the VIP room where Su Hao and Qian Kun were, Su Xu, scratching his head with a regretful expression, saw Su Hao standing in the room, paused for a moment, and then gave a wry smile.

Come to think of it, Su Hao seems to have returned in the last couple of days?

Seriously, he was just showing off and got slapped in the face, especially in front of his own son. How pathetic.

After a long silence, Su Hao pouted and said, "I came back and saw you mess up. Old Su, you're no good."

"You brat!" Su Xu wasn't annoyed at all. He chuckled and rubbed Su Hao's head. "You look like you've grown a little taller. If the Road to the Championship assessment didn't only require you to defeat our team's main players at the very least, then it would be a completely different story if it were a clash of ace players."

That's what he said, but in reality, Su Xu was still a little unsure.

He had great faith in Charizard's power, but the power that Salamence unleashed at that time undoubtedly came from a legend.

Given that both are at the mid-stage of the Elite Four level, it's hard to say whether Charizard could withstand that attack.

"Humph!"

Su Hao mumbled a few indistinctly, clearly displeased.

I never imagined that I, who spend all my time hunting geese, would have my eye pecked by one today.

Although Shen Lingyun demonstrated the power of a Heavenly King-level Thunder God during the College Cup, he clearly realized that it was impossible for him to be the only one to possess legendary power and receive the favor of legend.

But when he actually saw his father's dejected expression, he was still very unhappy.

Call him a hypocrite if you want, after all, people's hearts are always biased.

Su Hao asked in his mind, "Reshiram, how long will it take to reassemble a cluster of blue flames?"

"They've arrived." (From the Bright Stone)

Reshiram thought to himself, his eyes closed.

Having followed Su Hao for some time, He had a general understanding of his character.

He's even more upset than the person he considers to be wronged when they suffer any injustice; he's extremely protective of his own.

However, this is also a manifestation of the truth.

He doesn't hate.

After all, this was the hero he had chosen, so Reshiram naturally granted his request. A smile appeared on his lips as he replied, "At least half a month, but this time it might be because I passed another trial. The first time, Arknom's divine light helped me speed up the process of condensing my physical body even more."

Su Hao's eyes lit up, and he continued, "So, it won't affect your rebirth, right?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll trouble you!"

“Okay.” Rashiram nodded slightly, his voice soft.

Immediately, He asked curiously, "What about the Blazing Roaring Tiger? Before I am reborn, I'm afraid that this is the limit of what I can condense. If I do it again, it will have an impact."

Su Hao shook his head and said bluntly, "The Great Tiger is not suitable for a flame like Azure Flame, which burns with desire. Don't you know that better than I do?"

Rahiram was taken aback, then nodded subconsciously.

Indeed, Incineroar, as a Dark-type Pokémon, embodies desires in both its later-learned Evil Aura and its own emotional energy.

It's not compatible with the gender theory of pure, true blue flames; it's good enough if it doesn't have the opposite effect.

Su Hao said, "There are clues about other special divine flames suitable for the Blazing Roaring Tiger, but now... you know, I'm very unhappy."

In the end, Long Tianxing disliked his father's words and attitude.

It's just legendary power, isn't it? Why are you acting like nobody has it? What are you pretending for?

Reshiram played along, chuckling, "Actually, it won't be long before Diancie develops her abilities, and you'll be able to challenge her yourself. The reason you gave up on Qingyan is simply because you can't stand seeing your father like that, isn't it?"

"Ha..." Su Hao scratched the back of his head, marveling at Reshiram's reputation as a True Dragon, as his thoughts were completely read. He then resigned himself to his fate, saying, "I'll definitely fight him, but that doesn't stop me from giving my father some benefits, does it?"

Just like a super evolution, Su Hao was already planning to take advantage of the fact that Su Qing's research on Taijing ore was temporarily stuck in a bottleneck, to inform her first, and to find a suitable time for her to publish it so that he could use it himself.

After all, when there are benefits, the first person you'll think of is your family, just like their unconditional support for you.

Chapter 496 The True God Returns

Because Su Hao received a mission directly from the Alliance concerning the capture of a poacher gang, the information could not be easily leaked.

Su Xu and Qian Kun moved Su Hao to the training hall of the Rising Sun Trainers' Comprehensive Center, where they usually worked, ensuring privacy.

The three sat on the sofa, chatting casually, when Su Xu pointed out the missing mission details on the Trainer App.

"Shunanzi Poaching Gang... This is a criminal gang that operates within the Shenzhou Alliance, stealing and selling rare Pokémon. Their leader is an Elite Four level trainer."

"Wait, wait... A Champion-level Trainer!? But I'm just taking the professional trainer exam!"

Before Su Xu could finish speaking, Su Hao couldn't hold back any longer.

Although, within the Divine Alliance, he could summon the Water City siblings or the Shaking Rabbi at any time.

But he was just conducting a professional trainer assessment, so why would he want to capture and destroy a poaching gang with Champion-level combat power?

Surely Su Xu wouldn't join in too, would that be just letting the game slide? I could probably complete the mission without even having to do anything.

"Let me finish." Su Xu's face showed a hint of helplessness. He held down Su Hao, who was looking somewhat agitated, and continued, "The Shu Nanzi poaching gang was completely eradicated a month ago. All you need to do is catch a few professional-level henchmen who escaped the net, also known as [informants]."

"Do you remember? When you contacted me in Water Seven and Viridian Forest not long after you went on your trip, about the Nova Organization?"

Su Hao was taken aback. Was Su Xu referring to Gao Qiqiang and Zheng Hongbo, the two audacious individuals who dared to poach Latias and Latios and were blasted to dust by a single beam of clean light, leaving not even ashes, as well as that somewhat mentally unstable nightmare from the Viridian Forest?

Su Xu nodded slightly and said, "Fortunately, your information was very timely. The post-incident handling department quickly arrived at the scene you instructed and found some things in the wreckage that were closely related to the Nova Organization."

"Following the clues, we discovered the Shunanzi poaching gang, which secretly worked for the New Star organization."

After saying that, Su Xu gave Qian Kun a look. Qian Kun understood, took out a tablet computer, authenticated it, and then accessed the alliance database to retrieve three photos.

Qian Kun narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "The three are currently on the run. The last time they appeared on the surveillance footage was the day before yesterday. According to calculations, they are expected to be hiding at the foot of Jiulong Mountain outside Yangcheng."

Su Xu picked up the conversation and continued, "And your task is to find their trail in the vast Jiulong Mountain and then arrest them all."

"So, do you need my help?"

"unnecessary."

Su Hao shook his head. It was just a matter of finding someone. The Aura was best at detection. The Aura that resonated between him and Lucario could cover a wide area, making it easy to find someone.

"Tch~" Su Xu's expression fell. He had been hoping that his son would lower himself and beg him for help, but finding someone in the mountains was no easy task.

Ignoring Su Xu's dramatic antics, Su Hao focused his attention on the tablet in Qian Kun's hand, quickly memorizing the three people's physical characteristics, Pokémon information, and so on.

Finally, as if remembering something, Su Hao asked, "What's the time limit for the mission?"

Su Xu chuckled and held up a number with his finger: "Three days. We just need to catch them within three days. Alliance agents are stationed around Jiulong Mountain to keep watch. At their current pace, it's estimated that they won't be able to walk out of Jiulong Mountain without revealing their presence within three days."

Su Hao replied thoughtfully, "So, you just need to bring these three people back within three days, right?"

"Yes."

"Then there's no problem," Su Hao said confidently, snapping his fingers.

Su Xu smiled. He knew that his son had the special ability of wave guidance. Perhaps the search mission, which was more difficult than combat for others, was not much of a challenge for Su Hao.

Before Su Hao left, Su Xu seemed to remember something and reminded him, "Speaking of which, Li Hua, Jiang Chengcheng, and your high school classmates are all here for training recently. You can go and see them when you have time."

Su Hao paused in his motion to stand up, and asked in confusion, "Training camp?"

"soon"

"It's November now, and the college entrance exam is just around the corner. Isn't intensive training a natural thing to do?" Su Xu rubbed his forehead, surprised that Su Hao had completely forgotten about the exam after entering university. "The training hall in Zone C has been booked by your school for the combat department students."

“........Okay.” Su Hao nodded. He hadn’t expected Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng to be here as well, so he had to go and say hello.

After all, he had planned to contact them after completing the mission.

.................................

"Hmm... this should be the place, right?"

Su Hao gazed at the enormous training arena before him, his ears able to clearly hear the sounds of intense training and the clash of Pokémon moves.

There was also an elderly man in a security guard uniform standing guard at the entrance of the training venue, in addition to the extravagant act of booking the entire training venue.

It seems that after winning the college cup championship, resources have indeed been tilted towards Yangcheng High School.
