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

Looking at the adorable Zeraora, an idea came to Su Hao's mind.

He had already checked, and the luxury ball he bought before going to bed was still in the system space.

In other words... he might be able to exploit this "loophole" in the trial mission using Poké Balls and take Zeraora directly from the Electric Canyon!?

Chapter 520 Departure from the Dragon's Lair

Quietly taking an empty luxury ball from his system space, Su Hao placed it in front of the bewildered Zeraora, looking like a strange uncle who had kidnapped a child.

Zeraora tilted his head and, without the slightest hesitation, pressed the blue pad onto the deluxe ball.

However, the moment the Luxury Ball opened, a mysterious pinkish-purple spiritual energy suddenly appeared, completely blocking the red light from the Luxury Ball as it was trying to collect the Pokémon.

Su Hao: "...Damn it."

That darn mushroom head, it doesn't even leave a single bug.

If he had previously wondered whether it was Cresselia, the goddess of dreams, who had brought him here, instead of three mushroom heads...

However, the moment this spiritual energy appeared, Su Hao was certain that he had been dragged into the trial by Mushroom Head without his knowledge.

The first two trials were Azelf of Willpower and Uxie of Knowledge, so... this time the culprit must be Memrido, the god of emotion!

Slumped to the ground in frustration, Su Hao stroked Zeraora's wonderfully soft fur while complaining, "At least tell me what to do! Your skills are getting worse and worse!"

As if hearing Su Hao's complaints, a new task immediately appeared before Su Hao.

[Test Three: The Trial of Emotions]

[Time Limit: None]

[Trial Details: Unknown]

[Reward: Proof of affection]

"Tsk..." Su Hao glanced at the system panel with a hint of disdain. Sure enough, his cheat system was connected to that side.

They've become so blatant...

However, even if it's another mission without any trial content, considering my experience of being forcibly teleported here from my dream and the authority of Emredo, it's still a challenging task.

In Su Hao's mind, the content was already pretty much out of the blue.

Since it was a test of feelings, the location consisted of only him and Zeraora, each with their own Pokémon, and a fragment of a baby crib's Thundurus Slab.

Even a fool could guess that it was mostly to get on good terms with Zeraora.

I don't know to what extent.

Since he was already there, he decided to make the best of it. Since there was no rush, Su Hao, enlightened by Zhao Yun, an observer, chose to slack off, which was what he was best at.

In other words, you develop a relationship with Zeraora in your dreams, and then go to the dragon's lair as normal after waking up, and also participate in competitions.

However... there's always a subtle feeling, like he's secretly having an affair behind the backs of his team's Pokémon.

Su Hao then turned his gaze to Zeraora, its data transforming into text that danced before his eyes.

Pokémon: Zeraora

Attribute: [Electric]

Gender: [None]

Feature: [Energy Storage]

Level: [Beginner Level, Early Stage]

Moves: [Grab, Lightning, Sharpening Claws]

e........

It's a Mythical Pokémon, after all, so some of what I'm about to say might be offensive.

Well, the future looks promising!

However, Zeraora is only two days old, so it should be fine once it grows a bit bigger.

No matter what, it's still a Mythical Pokémon that uses a piece of Thunderstone Slab as a crib.

After reading Zeraora's information, Su Hao tried to store the Lightning Stone Slab fragments into his system space.

This time, there won't be any problems.

Looking at the fragment of the lightning stone tablet that had appeared out of thin air in his hand, Su Hao silently stuffed it back under Zeraora's bed as a cushion.

Well, in that sense, it's something like a companion item; I'm not shameless enough to be greedy for it.

Besides, Zeraora will be my cat eventually anyway, so it's just a fragment of the Thunderstone Slab...

Thinking of this, Su Hao smiled contentedly and took out a bunch of toys suitable for baby Pokémon from his system space, as well as cat toys and the like.

I plan to play with Zeraora like this until I wake up, to strengthen our bond.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Su Hao opened his eyes with exceptional clarity, a look of surprise on his face.

Good heavens, even though his own consciousness has barely rested, he feels nothing at all.

I don't feel tired.

Only after waking up from a deep, restful sleep do I feel a sense of satisfaction, and my mind is clearer than ever before.

He even wanted to ask Emlid how he did it; the function and effect of lucid dreaming was exactly what the King of Scrolls had been dreaming of.

As for Zeraora, Su Hao wasn't as worried about her after she woke up this time.

It was already clear that he would go to that place after falling asleep, and he had left enough supplies there so that Zeraora wouldn't go hungry.

Next, all that's needed is to cultivate the relationship gradually.

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

The outskirts of the imperial capital.

"You came?"

"I am coming."

Words that sounded like a coded message came from Su Hao and Long Ningyan.

Su Hao glanced at the senior from the Dragon Clan. Her attire today was different from usual and quite distinctive.

How should I put it... it's like a version of Higanbana with a high ponytail.

"Senior, how do we get to the dragon's lair?"

To be honest, Su Hao was quite interested in Dragon's Lair, one of the highest-level inheritance sites of the Divine Continent Alliance.

Long Ningyan smiled and pointed to the sky: "Someone will take us there."

As if in response to Long Ningyan's words, three dragon roars echoed from the sky.

The next instant, three Dragon-type Pokémon descended from the sky.

However, when Su Hao saw the figure on the back of one of the powerful Salamence-level monsters, his brows furrowed deeply.

Long Tian... Okay!

“Uncle.” Long Ningyan’s indifferent voice rang out, indicating that she was not close to Long Tianxing.

"Hmm." Long Tianxing nodded slightly, then scrutinized Su Hao with a cold gaze. After a while, he sneered, "I'm asking who made Bai Du risk being scolded by the clan elders to snatch the Dragon's Lair trial spot from me."

"So it's you, young master of the Su Xutian family."

Long Tianxing emphasized the last few words.

At this moment, Long Ningyan also keenly sensed that something was wrong. She first looked at Su Hao, then at Long Tianxing, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Her arrogant and domineering uncle seems to harbor... hostility towards Su Hao!

Long Ningyan reminded him, "Uncle, Su Hao is a guest who was formally invited by our clan."

She could only hope that Long Tianxing would restrain himself because of this incident, otherwise Su Hao would really have a hard time getting away with it.

"Ah, of course I know that." Long Tianxing sneered. He was angry because his spot had been taken away for no reason, but he wouldn't openly target Su Hao, who had high hopes for the alliance.

After all, as a family that survived the great purge of aristocratic families many years ago, the Dragon Clan has taught them this since childhood.

But... he wouldn't be foolish enough to openly target Su Hao. Perhaps he might secretly make Su Hao's journey to the Dragon's Lair more difficult.

“Speaking of which, I recently had a ranking match with your father. I wonder if Young Master Su is aware of this?” Long Tianxing asked, extending his hand.

Su Hao reached out and shook hands with Long Tianxing, showing no sign of hesitation, and said sarcastically, "Of course I know. Long Tianxing used all his trump cards and finally defeated one of my father's newly trained main forces."

"Heh, sharp-tongued brat." Long Tianxing's face darkened for a moment, then instantly returned to normal.

Long Tianxing assumed that Su Hao was simply harboring resentment because of his father's defeat.

After all, the father and son could never have imagined how terrifying a truly powerful being's terrifying rank was.

Even the most talented person is still just a frog in a well.

However, he was able to benefit from some of the legendary power of the tower.
