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

April 29, 2024, over Hawaii, White Eagle Union.

Considering that the Divine Bird Sanctuary, where the three Divine Birds reside, may also hide their superior legendary spirits—the Monsoon God, the Sea God, and the Ocean Current God Lugia—the team dispatched this time has also strengthened its combat power.

David Carlisle, one of the four Heavenly Kings of the White Eagle Alliance's Electric Element, looked at the four people in front of him and said calmly, "Now that everyone is here, let's prepare to set off."

Before anyone could respond to him, Sophia, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Ice Element of the Northern Bear Alliance, scoffed, "Since when did it become your place to give orders here?"

"Could it be that you think you're the leader of this operation? Someone who almost got sent away by the wrathful God of Thunder?"

David Carlisle angrily exclaimed, "You!"

Faced with the tense atmosphere between the two, François, the evil-type four kings of the French Alliance, and Austin, the flying-type four kings of the British Alliance, both chose to remain indifferent.

View.

They were still marveling to themselves that even the women of the Northern Bear Alliance were so fierce. David Carlisle, a powerful and influential figure in the White Eagle Alliance, was rendered speechless by her rebuttal.

Looking at this group of people who had started clashing before even setting off, Chu Ya looked worried. Although the White Eagle Alliance and the Northern Bear Alliance had a long-standing feud, she suspected that if this trend continued, the two would have to fight before even reaching the Divine Bird Sacred Domain.

The so-called Divine Bird Sanctuary refers to the inviolable territory for humans, enclosed by the three divine birds. She was sent by the Divine Continent Alliance because she was familiar with the environment of the high seas and had a brief exchange with the God of Ice.

Otherwise, the one who came this time should have been Bai Du, who could play a huge role in the possible air combat phase.

Fortunately, both of them knew that they were now shouldering a mission decided by a joint vote of the World Alliance Conference, so they didn't actually fight. They just snorted at each other and set off together towards the Divine Bird Sanctuary.

Before leaving, Chu Ya looked down at the desolate beach where no one was around, and many beach umbrellas, deck chairs, and seaside huts remained.

Hawaii used to be a famous tourist destination, especially its beaches, which were always packed with people and Pokémon. But since Ultra Hole started appearing frequently near Hawaii, the number of people here has decreased significantly.

Unlike Pokémon that know when to stop and generally won't kill, the Ultra Beasts that emerge from Ultra Slugs are all top-tier monsters, just like the original Buzzwole, indiscriminately and ruthlessly slaughtering their prey.

The ever-present threat dealt a heavy blow to Hawaii's proud tourism industry, and local residents avoid the area unless absolutely necessary.

More often, it's the "Ultimate Beast Hunters" who have emerged in Hawaii—people who are very confident in their abilities and come here to try their luck.

Whether it's the Temple of the Sea, the Secret Realm of the High Seas, or the Sacred Domain of the Divine Bird, the world is changing more and more, and she can hardly understand it anymore.

.......

On Ice Island, Su Hao looked at the once enormous ice stone used for testing swords, now reduced to shattered pieces, and his expression showed a moment of surprise.

The lingering sword intent wrapped around the ice indicated that this was something Ye Yibu had accomplished alone.

This is a test ice stone specially crafted by Articuno to maximize its attack power; its hardness is comparable to any metal block or rock!

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

Chapter 850 Children, I’m back

Bang bang—!

Metagross randomly picked a piece of ice and tried tapping it with its right paw.

Sensing the signal from its right paw, Metagross concluded—

Hard.

Although it hadn't used its full strength or undergone an Evolution, just by feeling it, it sensed that the hardness of this ice block was probably no less than the surface defense of Incineroar at the Gym level.

Yeevee, this Grass-type Pokémon, actually shredded this thing into pieces?!

If my own metal casing were hit like that, it would probably have a gash cut in it too. Terrifying...

After petting Eevee's fur, Su Hao lowered his gaze, and the Slate Spirit displayed Eevee's data in front of him.

Pokémon: Leafeon

Attribute: [Grass]

Crystal Attribute: [Grass]

Gender: Male

Characteristic: [Chlorophyll] (On sunny days or in bright sunlight, speed is doubled)

Special Ability: [Blessing of the God of Knowledge (Double Comprehension)] (Just kidding, 0 doubled is still 0, 500 doubled is 1000...)

Level: [Late Stage, Dojo Level]

Moves: [Commonly Used: Leaf Blade (You call this a leaf blade?)]

Su Hao: "......"

(￢_￢) Ignore it then.

"Just broke through?"

"Wu~"

Enjoying Su Hao's massage, Ye Yibu nodded gently. It hadn't expected that in order to make its attack sharper and better cut through the ice block prepared by Articuno, it would naturally break through when it tried to cut through the ice block with all its might.

Su Hao wasn't surprised; he was already used to Ye Yibu's habit of breaking through without a word.

It seems that Yeeev will be able to break through to the Elite Four level in a while. Counting Lucario and Metagross, which can unleash Elite Four level power after Evolving, the whole team is close to achieving the goal of becoming Elite Four members.

When I go back in a while, I'll get certified as an Elite Four trainer, then climb to number one in the rankings and prepare for the Elite Four battle.

...........

After picking up Eevee, and considering that someone would likely try to contact the three legendary birds soon, Su Hao gradually brought back the Pokémon scattered across the three islands.

Lucario trains his mind and body with Lizard in the storms of Thunder Island, reaching the late Gym Leader level, just one step away from becoming a Champion.

Following the God of Thunder in his training, and under Su Hao's guidance, Zeraora develops the "energy storage" property, attempting to harness the power of nature's thunder for his own use.

Milotic, having trained with Articuno to master Ice-type moves, has incorporated extreme cold into its own techniques.

There's also Diancie, who's busy taking care of her child, and Erguipeng, who's been playing with little Lugia for several days and has become best friends with her.

After confirming that no one had been missed, Su Hao boarded Articuno and flew with Lugia to the center surrounded by the three islands.

Besides the three divine birds sealing Dark Lugia there, there was also the Green Warrior Eagle, who seemed to be accompanying Dark Lugia but was actually talking to the sleeping Lugia inside Dark Lugia.

Compared to the seal constructed by the three legendary birds when Lugia was powerless to transform into darkness, the current seal is more complete and powerful. The first layer is a wall of flame reinforced by Moltres, and even Zapdos would need some time to break through its strength.

Not to mention the second layer of lightning net reinforced by Zapdos, the third layer of ice mirror sphere used by Articuno to imprison Dark Lugia's body, and the fairy light that uses the ice mirror inside to reflect and endlessly purify the negative energy in Dark Lugia's body.

Even now, Reshiram and the others are very curious about what kind of coincidence could have created Diancie, a natural enemy with an extremely strong ability to restrain the power of dark matter.

Ordinary "light" or "fairy energy" is not particularly effective at destroying negative energy.

However, when the two achieve an impossible fusion, they gain a strong targeting effect on dark matter.

It's almost as if Diancie was created specifically to combat dark matter.

Passing through the second layer of seals, Su Hao saw the bare...

On the cliff lies the incessantly chattering Emerald Warrior Eagle, and in mid-air floats the Ice Mirror Orb, and inside, the Dark Lugia evokes a sense of unbearable agony and collapse.

When Little Lugia saw the Dark Lugia inside the Ice Mirror Sphere, its eyes lit up. It remembered Lugia's previous instructions to it and could only pitifully stay under Articuno's wings.

Lugia was afraid that she would hurt Lugia after she turned into a monster, so she had told it not to come near her.

Dark Lugia, constantly scorched by Fairy Light, naturally noticed Su Hao and the others' arrival. It glanced at Su Hao and Articuno, then its complicated gaze fell on Little Lugia before quickly looking away.

Dark Lugia's weak voice rang out.

[Hey, True Hero, hurry up and take your Pokémon away! It's been nagging me nonstop about how that guy saved it for days on end. My ears are practically calloused from hearing it.]

Dark Lugia is fearless and can fight back for a long time even when surrounded by the three legendary birds and Reshiram. If Articuno and the others hadn't made perfect preparations, Dark Lugia would have been very difficult to defeat.

Only the emerald warrior, Eagle, had been rambling on for days, making him feel even worse than when he was defeated.

The constant purification of its own essence was already troublesome enough, but now Dark Lugia was only thinking about getting rid of the Emerald Warrior Eagle as soon as possible. The overall situation was already decided, and now it just wanted to quietly wait for its demise.

Su Hao, who had already touched the feathers of the Emerald Warrior Eagle, exchanged a glance with Articuno and said nothing.

Seeing this as an opportunity, Articuno responded:

I have one condition: if you agree, we'll take it with us.

Dark Lugia chuckled:

[Conditions? I'm already your prisoner, what can I possibly agree to?]

Articuno, without batting an eye, stated its demands:

If I told you that you would temporarily stop suppressing Lugia's consciousness and let it talk to us, could you do that?

Dark Lugia remained silent, and a tense atmosphere ensued.

Reshiram appeared beside Su Hao. Dark Lugia glanced at it, knowing that with it around, it couldn't play any tricks, and said indifferently:

Sure, as long as you get rid of that annoying black bird.

Articuno looked at Reshiram, who nodded slightly. It didn't detect any sign that Dark Lugia was lying.

Articuno nodded slightly:

I can agree to your request, so now, fulfill your promise.

Dark Lugia stopped talking. In any case, given how weak that guy was, it wouldn't last long even if he did nothing. He still had control of the body.

In exchange for that annoying black bird leaving, it was a worthwhile deal.
