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

Su Hao comforted Doronbaruto, who felt he had caused trouble, and then patted the heads of Doronmesia and his sister before putting them back into the Deluxe Ball. Then he looked at Su Xu with a worried expression, and a green light appeared in his hand, and the pain in Su Xu's waist quickly disappeared.

Having finally calmed down, Su Xu hadn't even opened his mouth when Su Hao got angry.

He asked anxiously, "Dad, have Articuno and the others arrived at their secret realm?"

“We’re here…right above us now,” Su Xu replied blankly.

"Oh!"

After leaving those words, Su Hao ran towards the backyard. His Aura had detected Skadi's presence. Now that they had arrived at the Articuno Secret Realm, things would be much easier!

Su Xu, looking completely bewildered, muttered, "Is this kid in such a hurry? Is he in a real crisis?"

However, now that Su Hao is back, Su Xu has given up on going fishing and will ask the kid how things are going.

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

Su Xu waited for nearly three hours, and was getting impatient, before Su Hao finally left the Frozen Bird Secret Realm.

After the two sat down on the sofa in the living room, Su Xu rubbed his forehead and asked, "What's the situation now?"

Su Hao also felt obligated to explain to Su Xu, so he nodded and said, "I abducted three Elite Four level Grass-type Pokémon, several Gym Leader level Grass-type Pokémon and their kin from the Sakura Country League."

Su Xu: "........."

Damn it, this is a bolt from the blue.

Feeling that his heart was about to stop beating from frightening this little brat, Su Xu covered his face and asked, "You put them in that Articuno Secret Realm? I went in for a visit once, and it's a complete ice and snow wonderland."

Su Hao nodded. He had also considered this matter and finally received a reply from Skadi: "It's okay. Skadi said it can regulate part of the environment within the secret realm, and creating a forest that is not disturbed by wind and snow is not a problem."

Su Xu nodded: "Alright, let's put that aside for now. Don't you have anything to say to me about the Sakura Country Alliance matter?"

Su Hao blinked, his expression completely innocent: "It's exactly what you think. But Dad, you'd better be careful when you let Charizard use Blue Flame later, or you'll face endless harassment if you get caught~"

"I know it without you having to tell me!"

Su Xu was actually somewhat relieved that Charizard's mastery of the Azure Flame was still insufficient, and the flames basically retained their original color, so as long as the Azure Flame wasn't used, it would be largely undetectable.

Exhausted, Su Xu waved his hand and said helplessly, "Fine, you're more powerful than your father now, so I can't control you anymore. But I still hope..."

Before Su Xu could finish saying his wish that Su Hao would be careful and not be reckless, Su Hao suddenly said, "Dad, you still have a say in my life."

"what?"

"I need a White Eagle Alliance passport today, can you help me get one?"

Su Xu: "!!!!" (Angina pectoris)

I feel the name "American Alliance" is too arbitrary; let's change it to "White Eagle."

Chapter 665 Rumors

White Eagle Alliance, Ochester town.

This is the closest town to the White Eagle Alliance's signature perilous location—Electric Grand Canyon. The town has a thriving livestock industry and many ranches that raise common animals, such as dairy cows.

This town is under the control of the Carlisle family, who specialize in Electric-type Pokémon.

Compared to other more domineering families, the Carlisle family was relatively easy to talk to. Although they also collected taxes for the state government, at least they didn't double or triple the taxes like some other families did in their towns. At most, they would only charge an extra 30% as a service fee.

In a place where families and powerful individuals hold absolute power, and the path to advancement for ordinary people is almost completely blocked except by joining them, the residents of the small town of Ochester already feel fortunate enough.

At least they weren't under unbearable pressure, and they only had to work five days a week, eight hours a day.

Occasionally, a child in the family develops a talent that rivals that of a trainer, and they can choose to attend the school established by the Carlisle family, whereby the parents will receive better treatment.

This peaceful town of Ochester has become lively ever since an explorer returned from an expedition to the Electric Canyon a few days ago and brought back a photograph.

The photo, taken by explorers in the Electric Canyon, shows an unidentified, golden-furred, upright Pokémon moving at lightning speed against a somewhat blurry mountain wall.

Judging from the electric currents flashing around it, this is undoubtedly an unknown Electric-type Pokémon.

The news first reached the ears of the Carlisle family, who controlled the town.

Next, Tran Carlisle, who was considered exceptionally capable and powerful among the collateral branches of the Carlisle family and was even granted the name Carlisle as an exception, led his men to the town of Ochester.

As a member of a collateral branch, Tran Carlisle generally does not have the right to inherit the Carlisle family line. The right to inherit has always belonged to Ophelia Carlisle, the only legitimate daughter of the Carlisle family.

However, in this land where strength and achievements speak for themselves, if Tran Carlisle can produce results that impress the family head, he might be able to displace Aurelia Carlisle and become the true heir to the family.

Tran Carlisle was determined to get his hands on that Pokémon of unknown species.

The Carlisle family's actions—summoning their men, detaining the explorer to prevent him from leaving town, and temporarily confiscating all communication devices—all proclaimed the Carlisle family's superior authority over the laws of this land, a higher level of power.

At this moment, a yellow-skinned man who looked like a traveler suddenly appeared in the town of Ochester, which was under martial law. He immediately attracted the attention of the town's residents and the Carlisle family.

"There are many eyes watching you."

The voice of Rahiram echoed in Su Hao's mind.

After its resurrection, even its strength, which required time to slowly recover, was restored to its peak by burning the vast dream constructed by the God of Dreams. The plan that the deceased Full Moon and Aoi Sawaki had been scheming for decades was thus given to Su Hao and Reshiram.

At its peak, Reshiram's power meant that even if it temporarily transformed into a Lightstone and remained in Su Hao's mental world, it would still possess the ability to perceive the outside world.

Whether indifference, curiosity, friendliness, or malice, the True Dragon, capable of burning with desire, can see through it all at a glance. It was with this ability that it once selected heroes.

“I sensed it too. The atmosphere in this town seems a bit strange. Let’s go find a suitable place to gather some information first.” Su Hao nodded slightly, silently responding to Reshiram’s suggestion in his mind.

Although he seemed to be walking intently through the town of Ochester, occasionally glancing at the surrounding buildings as if appreciating the rustic atmosphere of the White Eagle Alliance.

In fact, his waveguide had already been fully activated before he entered the town, and he was aware of the gazes of the surrounding residents, or those adults who were clearly not ordinary people.

But Su Hao didn't care about any of that. He had only one purpose in coming to the White Eagle Alliance—

Head to the Electric Grand Canyon to find Zeraora, who may have gained freedom or is trapped in the underground Stone Gate ruins.

The White Eagle Alliance's territory is quite vast; three days ago, Su Hao...

After much pleading and cajoling, he finally obtained a passport from Su Xu. That very evening, he boarded a plane bound for the White Eagle Alliance. After landing in Washington, D.C., he asked for directions and immediately headed towards this town, the closest to the Electric Grand Canyon.

Along the way, he encountered many petty villains who tried to sabotage him because he looked like someone from another league. There were even robbers and Pokémon hunters who wanted to steal the Pokémon that Su Hao was traveling with.

Su Hao resolved all of these issues one by one. Some were simply beaten up and left alone, while others went too far... Su Hao wouldn't get his hands dirty; he simply disarmed them completely in the perilous wilderness.

After all, he wasn't some kind of demon.

During his two-week vacation, Su Hao spent three days in the capital, one day in Yangcheng, and only arrived in this small town on the third day after reaching the White Eagle Alliance. He even spent New Year's Eve in the wilderness.

Today is January 1st, and half of the time has already passed. The location of the International Youth Exchange Competition, along with the precautions, had already been sent to Su Hao's phone by Liao Xingchen.

The quarterfinals of the exchange tournament will be held on January 9th in London, the capital of the British Federation. Considering the time needed to assemble and travel to the British Federation, Su Hao has less than a week left to find Zeraora.

Fortunately, now he only needs to pass through the town of Ochester to enter the forest where he fell from the spirit world.

However, before that, he needed to find out what the situation was like here and see the reactions of the surrounding residents. Su Hao had a bad feeling about it.

Looking around, Su Hao's gaze settled on a retro-style tavern in the town. Although it wasn't bustling time yet, this was often the place where information flowed most freely, and he should be able to get the information he needed from the shopkeeper or bartender.

Su Hao entered the tavern with light steps, looking just like an ordinary traveler curious about folk architecture.

The Carlisle family guards, who were secretly observing him, frowned. Was this Asian man really a tourist visiting the town of Ochester?

No, what normal tourist would come to such a remote town for sightseeing!

The guard shook his head, banishing those thoughts from his mind, his gaze fixed intently on the tavern door, his communicator clutched in his hand, ready to apprehend the suspicious individual at any moment.

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

Chapter 666 Zeraora Gets Targeted

However, Su Hao emerged from the tavern in just ten minutes, which made the guard even more convinced that Su Hao was definitely not a normal traveler.

Su Hao left the tavern with a grim expression. He completely ignored the guards watching him and headed straight for the only passage from Ochester town to the Electric Grand Canyon.

The bartenders at the tavern often serve all sorts of people, and it's easy for them to learn about all sorts of things happening in the outside world.

Getting information from him might seem difficult, but in reality, once Su Hao produces the large bundle of White Eagle Alliance currency he specially exchanged, it's no problem for him to ask for information or even to take Su Hao to the hotel for private service tonight.

This is the power of money!

Su Hao had no interest in the burly bartender with a thick beard and directly rejected his offer of service. From the bartender, Su Hao learned that a lightning-fast Electric-type Pokémon had suddenly appeared in the Electric Canyon, and that Tran Carlisle of the Carlisle family had led his men into the Electric Canyon to capture it.

The bartender heard all this information from the drunken conversations of the Carlisle family guards who frequented the tavern; after all, people always become unrestrained when drunk.

The bartender added a final piece of information: two days had passed since Tran Carlisle set off from Ochester, and he might have already caught the unknown Pokémon, since Tran Carlisle was carrying an Electric-type Pokémon from the Carlisle family with Elite Four-level strength.

In other words, Zeraora may be in danger now.

Upon arriving near the passage, Su Hao was intercepted by fully armed guards who stated that the Electric Grand Canyon was currently sealed off by the Carlisle family, and no one was allowed to enter, not even passing travelers.

Su Hao didn't linger with them. Forcing his way in would only alert them. Once he entered the forest, he could head towards the very conspicuous Electric Grand Canyon. After finding a blind spot, Su Hao summoned Dorambaruto and infiltrated the Reverse World, flying towards the Electric Grand Canyon.

What era are we living in? He's not stupid enough to waste time getting bogged down with low-level thugs and delay the rescue of Zeraora, who's being targeted.

If this were a game, wouldn't that be considered skipping a level?

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

Inside the Electric Grand Canyon, a bright yellow beam of electricity moved continuously, using the rugged rock walls and terrain to shake off the pursuers behind it.

However, the dense flapping of wings still followed closely behind it, making it impossible to shake off the other party.
