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

Ophelia Carlisle, with a complicated expression, definitively concluded the matter. The other party's fearless attitude made her hesitant, and the golden attack that covered the sky further proved Su Hao's ease in handling the situation. She couldn't afford to gamble.

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

Powerful wild Electric-type Pokémon are often spotted deep within the Electric Grand Canyon, making it difficult for ordinary people to conceal their presence and advance. However, Su Hao's Aura allowed him to precisely avoid battle risks until he found a hidden cave.

The cave is probably the nest of a wild Pokémon, which has likely already gone out to forage for food.

Su Hao planned to stay here for a while until Zeraora woke up before leaving. Theoretically, the probability of encountering the nest's owner was very small.

The power of Viridian has healed the injuries caused by the Pokémon to Zeraora, and the sticky webs have been cleared away, but Zeraora still shows no signs of waking up.

Su Hao knew very well that Zeraora was not unconscious. It was probably exhausted and finally felt relieved after seeing him, which is why it fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 670 Opening the Stone Gate Ruins

Zeraora awoke around dusk. During this time, Su Hao had released all the Pokémon in the team and introduced them to Zeraora's existence, as well as how he would come to the underground of the Electric Grand Canyon every night in his dreams to take care of Zeraora, which had just hatched from its egg.

Each Pokémon reacts differently to this.

Diancie & Milotic: My poor thing, you've suffered so much these past few days.

Dragapult & Dragapult's siblings & Lucario: Finally, there are Pokémon that are younger than us!

Emerald Warrior Eagle & Motor Lizard: Only those who are strong enough will not be treated this way.

Yeebu: Sword...

Metagross: Apple.......

Fiery Roaring Tiger: Electricity........

But it is an undeniable fact that they all welcomed Zeraora's arrival.

Holding Zeraora, who had just burst into tears in his arms, Su Hao gently patted its back.

Zeraora must have had a tough time these past few days. Suddenly appearing in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by hostile individuals, this kitten, only two months old, has never experienced anything like this before.

After learning the whole story from Zeraora, Su Hao felt both heartache and relief that he had decisively killed Tron Carlisle.

Even if Zeraora wasn't his Pokémon, Tran Carlisle's teasing and insulting attitude towards Zeraora already showed that he was a beast worse than a pig or a dog, not to mention that Zeraora was a child raised by Su Hao.

Giving it a quick death is already letting it off easy.

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

As night gradually enveloped the sky, Zeraora's emotions stabilized. With all the Pokémon as witnesses, Su Hao took out a Luxury Ball and, with Zeraora's own touch, successfully captured it.

The deluxe ball didn't budge at all and immediately made a dinging sound, which meant that Zeraora had no resistance to being subdued by Su Hao.

Having accomplished all this, Su Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were some setbacks along the way, he had successfully achieved his goal.

With Zeraora back in the team, there's only one thing left to do—

Head deep into the Electric Grand Canyon to the Stone Gate Ruins, and use the three proofs to synthesize a key to open the ruins' gate.

How long it would take to enter the Stone Gate Ruins was still unknown. There was also the possibility that Ophelia Carlisle might back out or that she might not be able to cover up the matter and invite retaliation from the Carlisle family. Compared to the former, Su Hao felt that the latter was easier to handle.

After all, even if the Carlisle family surrounded the entire Electric Grand Canyon, he would still find a way to leave. Now, as long as Dorambaruto opens the passage to the Reverse World, no one can stop him from leaving.

This is the confidence that Giratina gives him...

Before the cave's owner returned, Su Hao, shrouded in darkness, set off towards the direction of the stone gate ruins he remembered.

Several months have passed, and it seems that Zeraora has been carrying the fragments of the Thunderstone Slab inside as an item, so there are no wild Electric-type Pokémon wandering around the Stone Gate Ruins anymore.

Standing before a stone wall that seemed to blend seamlessly with its surroundings, Su Hao confirmed that this was indeed the location of the former stone gate of the Stone Gate Ruins. As for why it had become a rock wall... Su Hao suspected that it was concealed by the power of the unknown totems that existed on the gate of the Stone Gate Ruins.

After all, the unknown totem possesses extremely magical power, and can even create a phantom Flame Emperor based on human thoughts.

After a moment's thought, Su Hao first recalled all the Pokémon following him into their Poké Balls, just in case they were accidentally teleported away and he didn't have time to recall them, which would be troublesome.

As for security, Rahiram can reveal himself at any time, so it's not a big problem.

Next, Su Hao, standing outside the stone gate ruins, took out the trial certificate that had automatically appeared inside the system space after he completed the trial.

Proof of will.

Proof of wisdom.

Proof of affection.

This was the first time Su Hao had taken out the so-called proof. In his mind, proof would at least be something with a physical form, but he...

Unexpectedly, these three pieces of evidence were actually clusters of light emitting a faint glow.

Blue, yellow, and pink represent Azelf, Uxie, and Emredo, respectively.

As soon as the ball of light appeared in Su Hao's hand, it shot into the stone wall in front of him like an arrow. Accompanied by a sound like a key turning in the void, the stone wall... no, the stone door that gradually revealed its original appearance appeared in his field of vision.

Six familiar, unknown totems opened their eyes and looked at Su Hao, appearing particularly eerie against the backdrop of the night.

Before Su Hao could say anything or make any move, the six unknown totems that had been clinging to the stone door as if they were one with it left the stone door and formed a slowly rotating circle. With them as the base, a vortex leading to the unknown space slowly appeared.

At the same time, the emotionless, inorganic voice reappeared, but the content of its speech had changed significantly.

"The proofs have been gathered, and the key will become a signpost for the way forward."

"Enter the spatial vortex, confront the truth of the world, and learn the true trial—"

The swallowing motion caused his Adam's apple to move slowly, and Su Hao asked in his mind, "Did you hear that sound, Reshiram?"

Reshiram's answer was the same as Articuno's: "No."

Su Hao was not surprised at all; as expected, it was a sound that only he could hear.

Gazing at the seemingly bottomless spatial vortex, Su Hao remained silent for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and then slowly took a step towards it.

As Su Hao's figure disappeared into the vortex, the vortex slowly dissipated, and the unknown totems, as if exhausted, closed their eyes and returned to the stone gate, disappearing once more.

At the same time, the stone gate transformed back into a rock wall, as if nothing existed there at all.

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

Even though I'm used to changing locations, this time the feeling was particularly strong, as if I had been transported to some very distant place.

The surrounding darkness was extremely deep, to the point that one could not see their own hand in front of their face. Su Hao could feel that he was currently in a state of zero gravity, with no footholds around him, unable to stand up, and almost unable to move.

Until a broken stone slab with ancient patterns appeared before him. A pink halo burst forth from the slab, enveloping him and carrying him toward a certain place.

"The magical stone tablet...?"

Su Hao's surprised voice rang out.

He had already seen the Water Drop Slab and the Lightning Slab, so even if the Magic Slab suddenly appeared, he wouldn't have this reaction.

But... he saw it very clearly.

Why did the magic stone tablet emerge from his body?

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

Kavenka was in excruciating pain (?﹏?)

Chapter 671 The Edge of the Universe

"That is......?"

Three beams of light in the distance twinkled like stars. In this dark world, apart from the magical stone slab, another source of light finally appeared, which made Su Hao extremely gratified.

Although he felt himself entering a spatial vortex and being enveloped by the pink halo emanating from the magical stone slab, moving in a certain direction, about half an hour had passed.

But Su Hao wasn't really sure how much time had actually passed.

As he drew closer to the three stars, Su Hao finally made out their true forms and murmured, "The Three Lake Gods?"

The three stars radiating tri-colored light were none other than Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit, the legendary Pokémon of the Lake.

The three lake gods clearly noticed Su Hao approaching and cast their unsurprised glances at him, as they had long known he would arrive at this time.

Arknom and Yukshi had already met once. In his memory, Arknom was always rambling and seemed to have dementia, while Yukshi was a squinty-eyed monster...

But none of that matters now. Su Hao ignored Azelf and Yuxie and looked at Emredo, whose smile gave off an unsettling feeling. He reached out and said, "Even if you are the god of the three lakes, you can't delay my reward!"

Emredo: "..."

Yukish: "......."

Arknom: "........."

They never dreamed that Su Hao's first reaction upon seeing their true forms would be like this. Even though they had lived for countless years, the three lake gods were somewhat ashamed at this moment.

It has to be said that the True Dragons of that other world were really accurate in choosing people; they saw the purest truth in Su Hao.

Yuxie and Arknom silently looked at Emrido, tacitly agreeing that this matter should be resolved by Emrido himself, and that they would not interfere.

Despite being closely watched by his two companions, Emrydo remained completely unfazed. He looked at Su Hao, ready to begin his persuasive scheme: "Chosen One, the most precious reward is already with you..."

A streak of pink light burst from Emredo's hand as he lightly tapped the Deluxe Ball containing Zeraora.

Su Hao was not about to be fooled by Empyrean. He shook his head and said, "Stop with the nonsense. When did Zeraora become a reward from you?"

Mesprit's voice seemed to have a seductive power: "Originally, you were supposed to meet Thunder's Pokémon after completing the three trials. I had the reward redeemed early to help you make contact with it sooner. Isn't that a reward?"
