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

[You've successfully entered the Temple of the Sea! Milotic and the others are really strong. Call me anytime if you need help!]

What happened on your end?! There's complete chaos outside!

Wow, so many arthropods!

The ocean and waterspouts are frozen solid; is this the power of the legendary spirits?

[Didi, are you there? What's the situation on your end?]

The Ocean Temple is sinking! Why aren't you out yet? What should I do? I sent Mega Gengar to get you, but it can't get in!

.....

[Waaaaah, I'm so sorry, Qing'er. I should have known better than to let you do that.]

Once things are over in the secret realm of the high seas, I'll go back and apologize to her. I'm so sorry, sob sob sob.

Please don't turn into a ghost and haunt me, I'm afraid of ghosts...

【RIp】

Su Hao: "........."

Who came from, you idiot? Get him out of here!

How could someone just casually curse someone to death? No wonder Ms. Su Qing complained to me that Chu Ya was particularly unreliable and always messed things up. It turns out it was all true.

Su Hao, speechless, edited two messages and sent them to Chu Ya, then turned off his phone, not intending to read Chu Ya's reply.

Skadi and the others didn't respond, probably still AFK in the Articuno Secret Realm. Since Aladdin had something to consider, he decided to ignore it for now and focus on getting into the high seas Secret Realm first.

On the nameless island, Chu Ya, who was directing her Ghost-type Pokémon to use Will-O-Wisp to dispel the ice, rubbed her slender waist with a pained expression.

The entire fleet was frozen solid by the absolute zero temperature of these Articulated Birds in the nearby waters, leaving them completely immobilized.

Even if you burn them, these ice blocks are many times harder to melt than ordinary ice blocks. It will take an unknown amount of effort to clear a path that allows the warship to return for repairs.

Suddenly, a short bell sounded from the stomach of the Gengar beside me.

Chu Ya was taken aback at first, then quickly opened Gengar's bewildered mouth, reached inside and pulled out a phone. Ignoring the Gengar's saliva on the phone, she turned it on after it had just rung.

When she discovered that the letter was from Su Hao, she was so emotional that her legs went weak and she almost lost her balance.

[Aunt Chu Ya, I'm fine. The matter of the Sea Temple has been resolved. More details will follow later.]

Chu Ya finally felt relieved, a tear welling up in her eye. She whispered, "That's good... I'm glad you're alright."

Immediately afterwards, the second message popped up.

[Oh, by the way, I also took care of that Sea King, the fifth seat of the Nova Corps. I wiped him out completely, not even leaving ashes. That should be fine, right?]

Chu Ya: Σ(?д?|||)??

"ah!!??"

Chapter 828 Shadows on the Sea

With its wingspan of three meters, the enormous black eagle slowly descended.

Su Hao flipped off the back of the Emerald Warrior Eagle and stepped onto the thick ice.

He exhaled into his palm and watched as the visible white mist dissipated, then Su Hao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"People who don't know us would think we're in the North or South Pole. Who would guess that the icy land beneath our feet was once a vast ocean?"

The emerald warrior eagle nodded in agreement, feeling a bone-chilling cold just standing on the ice.

Because this area was originally part of the sea, most marine Pokémon are located under this thick layer of ice. Pokémon such as Gull, Pelipper, and Electabuzz flying in the sky are unwilling to land due to the cold air emanating from the ice.

Su Hao closed his eyes and expanded the waveguide to its maximum extent, only to find that there was no one around.

"Sure enough, everyone's busy cleaning up their messes. Now's the perfect time for us to sneak around and steal."

Su Hao and the Emerald Warrior Eagle exchanged a glance and both revealed sly smiles.

How do I enter the secret realm in the high seas?

Su Hao heard that the Divine Continent Alliance had found a weak point in a secret realm that overlapped with reality and chose to wait for the right opportunity to enter.

Other leagues probably use similar methods, since the high seas haven't descended yet and stable spatial channels haven't been formed. Even ordinary champion-level Pokémon that are proficient in spatial manipulation might not be able to pry open the "shell" of the secret realm.

Su Hao learned from Skadi how to enter the secret realms of the high seas. Each secret realm can be said to be a space independent of the real world; in a more fantastical sense, it can be called a small world.

To enter the secret realm without a spatial passage, besides forcibly breaking in with strength, the only other option is... to produce the "key".

Most secret realms have a secret realm key. According to Skadi's deduction, the secret realm key of the high seas secret realm is very likely to be a feather of the three legendary birds or Lugia.

This is why Articuno was able to enter the secret realm of the high seas silently without being detected by anyone.

Their very existence is the passport.

This is interesting. Since Articuno has entered the secret realm of the high seas, what about Moltres, the god of fire, and Zapdos, the god of thunder?

Add to that Lugia in the Secret Realm of the High Seas, and the lineup does look rather familiar...

After a moment's hesitation, Su Hao sat back on the back of the Emerald Warrior Eagle. Once he was sure no one could notice them, he took a silver-white feather from the eagle's feathers and channeled a wisp of waveguide energy into it.

As the silver feathers gradually glowed with a silvery light, a subtle spatial fluctuation occurred, and Su Hao and the Emerald Warrior Eagle completely disappeared.

Meanwhile, on an island covered in ice and snow, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly opened.

This aura is...

...........

All that meets the eye is a vast expanse of blue.

Then a feeling of suffocation swept over me.

Su Hao and the Eagle Warrior, who quickly grasped the situation, widened their eyes as they moved from the frozen high seas to another area.

Su Hao was alright; before being moved, he subconsciously took a deep breath.

The Emerald Warrior Eagle is a Muggle; although it deals with storms all day long, it's actually not a very good swimmer.

Even the Fiery Roaring Tiger can swim a few strokes in a children's pool, but because its thick, naturally warm feathers quickly absorb water and become heavy, it will involuntarily sink and stay away from seawater.

That being said, the Emerald Warrior Eagle, aware of its own weakness, naturally had proper protective measures. Its psychic power surged out quickly, enveloping its body, which had become heavy from absorbing water, and Su Hao, who was looking at it with concern.

The warrior eagle's eyes sharpened, and he used his telekinesis to quickly bring them to the surface of the sea.

"what--"

As soon as he left the seawater, Su Hao took a deep breath. Neither he nor the Emerald Warrior Eagle expected that they would be teleported directly into the seawater.

While using his mental power to lift Su Hao, the Emerald Warrior Eagle mobilized its flight-type energy to create a vertical and horizontal airflow to dry its body.

Taking this opportunity, Su

Hao then began to observe the surrounding environment.

The sea, the sea, and more sea.

All around was an endless expanse of sea; as far as the eye could see, it was all sea.

The climate was very warm, with a wind chill of at least 30 degrees Celsius. The sun shone brightly in the sky, casting its rays on the shimmering sea, where the gentle lapping of the waves created twinkling specks of light.

Su Hao concluded that this place was very much like... a tropical climate?

So alike! Absolutely so!

The Three Divine Birds, Lugia, tropical climate, the sea...

Four more islands—isn't this the setup for the second animated film, Lugia: The Birth of Lugia?

However, in the movie, the three divine birds are enraged by the offense of the human collector Gilluta and indiscriminately destroy everything around them.

Furthermore, these three divine birds hold a more unique position than other divine birds, and are also known as the God of Fire, the God of Thunder, and the God of Ice, and are closely related to the world's climate.

Their fury naturally affected the climate of the entire Pokémon world, at which point the sea god Lugia appeared to try and quell their anger...

However, judging from its own Momonga's inexplicably lazy nature, it shouldn't be the kind of Pokémon that would cause trouble. On the contrary, Moltres and Zapdos are quite suspicious in this secret realm.

"Vog~"

At this moment, the eagle warrior, whose body had been dried, flapped its wings and used its telekinetic power to send Su Hao back onto its back.

It turned its head to look at Su Hao, its voice questioning.

Where is Lugia?

Didn't Manaphy say that these coordinates are the location where Lugia responded to its call?

“After all, several days have passed since Lugia responded to Manaphy’s call. Lugia may have moved to some part of the ocean by now.” Su Hao patted the head of the Emerald Warrior Eagle reassuringly and said in a calm tone, “How about this, let’s go find Articuno first, and then have it lead us to Lugia.”

Besides the silver feather in his right hand, Su Hao also held Articuno's tail feather in his left hand.

Unlike the silver feathers, which showed little reaction, Articuno's tail feathers continued to shimmer with blue light after he entered the secret realm.

This means that Articuno is currently somewhere in this huge, exaggerated secret realm.

The warrior eagle could only nod in agreement; at this point, this was the only option.

Just as the eagle warrior was about to spread its wings and fly away, a huge shadow on the seabed rapidly rose to the surface, followed by a massive waterspout bursting through the sea and appearing in front of them!
