Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

"Of course it is possible... To be honest, this area was once one of the Allied Forces' bases. Although the passage of time and the ravages of sand have obscured its original appearance, there is still a one-time, one-way teleportation channel set up by Lord Palkia nearby!"

"It is said that... this was set up at the request of Lord Dialga, and Lord Palkia was also puzzled."

"However, we were lucky to arrive here; if we had gone any further, we might have encountered unknown dangers on the way!"

The Articuno spoke lightly, thankfully it had been in this area before and knew this information, otherwise it and Su Hao would have been trapped here...

"But wouldn't setting up a teleportation channel be exploited by dark matter that might break through in the future, or by the remaining remnants of the enemy?"

Su Hao was somewhat worried; the risk of this one-way teleportation channel seemed a bit high.

"Oh? Don't worry about that. Each passage has a special function to identify whether it belongs to a creature from this world; otherwise, it won't activate!"

Articuno pats his muscular chest and guarantees that the two Time Gods will not fail!

Su Hao: "......"

To be honest, Su Hao's impression of Dialga and Palkia was that they were a slightly reliable time god and a space god who couldn't solve the problem of spatial collapse...

Dialga was alright, but Palkia, before seeing the individual in this world, still seemed somewhat unreliable to him.

However, having a teleportation channel is already extremely fortunate, and it's not his place to be picky.

"Shall we head to the teleportation portal now?" Su Hao suggested.

Although he didn't feel anything at all, after Articuno's explanation, he still felt a bit uneasy about this place full of negative energy and negative emotions. He wanted to moisturize it as soon as possible.

“Okay, lock up the Luxury Ball and make sure they don’t get out. We’ll go over there,” Articuno emphasized.

Whether the minions of dark matter still exist in this spirit world, they did not know, but flying in the air would undoubtedly make them easy targets, so Articuno, who followed the path of survival, decided to go there anyway.

The flying ice god occasionally comes close to the ground!

"I locked it after you finished talking. Luckily, the Poké Balls can also detect what's happening outside, and they're all very quiet," Su Hao replied after confirming the status of the Luxury Balls again.

He was very glad that he had listened to Articuno and hadn't released Diancie and the others.

Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to explain himself to Xerneas, Latias, Latios, Giratina, and even himself...

Articuno strides forward, moving with great strides yet with elegance, toward the place buried deep in its memory.

Su Hao followed closely behind Articuno, when he suddenly remembered something: "Articuno, what is Giratina doing?"

Giratina just dumped him and Draco Messia on Articuno and ran off, and nobody knows what he did next. We haven't seen him for a long time.

"I don't know. Giratina didn't say anything to me before she left, but I don't think she'll come back during that period [which could be as short as a year or as long as several decades], right?"

Articuno hesitated, for it truly had no idea where Giratina had gone.

What an irresponsible adoptive father!

Su Hao was speechless. Wouldn't he be missing one of his favorite gods to shake now?!

"However, once your little Dragapult masters Giratina's Shadow Sneak, perhaps it can contact Him in the Distortion World?" Articuno boldly speculated.

"I hope so... Wait, is that the teleportation channel you mentioned?"

Before Su Hao could finish speaking, he followed Articuno to a slightly flatter, but still somewhat bumpy, place.

The space here is rather narrow, and it took Articuno quite a bit of effort to squeeze through the layers of rocks.

These massive rocks act as natural shields, making this place virtually invisible from the sky and unlikely to require much effort to squeeze in from the ground.

A small altar, emitting a faint pinkish-purple glow and barely visible unless you look closely, appeared in front of him and Articuno.

“Yes, that’s one of the few one-way teleportation channels left by Lord Palkia at Lord Dialga’s request,” Articuno confirmed.

Although in His memory, this teleportation channel was very grand in scale and special effects, He now prefers an energy-saving mode or a stealth mode.

"Indeed, it's very well concealed. So, how do we activate it?"

Su Hao tilted his head. Shouldn't Articuno be the one to step in in this situation?

"It's very simple. This teleportation channel is set so that as long as a creature with the aura of this world stands on it, the pre-programmed teleportation procedure will be automatically activated."

"At the same time, this teleportation channel has a very powerful scanning function. Only creatures native to this world can open it. Forging an aura will absolutely not work," Articuno said confidently.

He had great faith in the passageway set up by the two Time Gods.

"That's good. I was worried that the dark matter might develop intelligence and specifically mimic the aura of the Pokémon that died here to invade our world through this passage. Since you've assured me this, it shouldn't happen..."

Su Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the two gods of time and space in this world were more reliable than those two reckless brutes who would fight over natural energy whenever they met.

Articuno: "......"

Articuno...?

Su Hao looked at Articuno with a puzzled expression. What was wrong with it? Why was it suddenly not saying anything?

"No, it's nothing! Let's go!!" There was a hint of panic in Articuno's voice as it grabbed Su Hao by the collar with its beak and quickly stood on the teleportation tunnel.

"Buzzing..."

The pink and purple light spots around them hesitated and swept past them repeatedly, then suddenly shone brightly as if they had confirmed something!

"Hey, isn't this making a bit too much noise?!"

Su Hao, perched on Articuno's back, spoke with a hint of fear.

As the pinkish-purple light transformed into a pillar of light that shot into the sky, Su Hao and Articuno's figures gradually disappeared in the center of the altar...

......

This was an exceptional experience of spatial teleportation, without any dizziness or discomfort. Su Hao couldn't help but praise Paluccia's skillful driving!

"here it is?"

Su Hao looked around. Although the environment was still relatively dark, at least the oppressive feeling was gone.

"It should be... somewhere in a secret realm, right?"

Articuno was somewhat uncertain; it seemed to sense a familiar presence here...

"Well, now that we've left that place, there shouldn't be any problems!"

Su Hao changed his timid tone and waved his hand, saying, "This is the battlefield I will command!"

In his home field, he can activate cards to summon Latias, Latios, and Articuno!

My confidence instantly returned!

“You…” Articuno couldn’t bear to look at him; he was utterly speechless.

......

The desolate and lifeless world, with its chilling atmosphere and deep, dark environment, seemed to remain unchanged forever, as if time had deliberately skipped over this place.

The sky was shrouded in a thick haze, and the oppressive and gloomy atmosphere never disappeared. The pitted and uneven land was lifeless, with only the endless darkness as its adornment. Rocks grew in clusters, hard and heavy, standing silently like tombs, having withstood countless years of weathering.

The absence of any living beings made this already mysterious world even more sinister and eerie. The only sounds that could be heard were the whistling wind and various strange whispers and murmurs, which made it even more terrifying and sinister.

Several shadowy figures, deep and dark, swept across the now-gloomy altar. What happened here remains unknown to all.

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

Dorronmecia, Dorronbaruto, but not Dorronchi.

Chapter 177 Where am I?

Two unfamiliar guests arrived in the small, dark forest, where trees grew densely.

"No signal..."

Articuno returned to its Master Ball, and Diancie quietly stayed by Su Hao's side in its place.

Su Hao sat on a rock, fiddling with his phone, his expression serious.

Now his phone not only has no signal, but even the timer function is malfunctioning.

"Was it already broken in the spirit world, or did it break after we came to this secret realm?"

At that time, Su Hao didn't have the luxury of taking out his phone to check the situation. It was only now that Articuno said there were no threatening individuals nearby that he dared to calm down and investigate carefully.

Dianesi sat obediently on a rock, dozens of small diamonds in her hands forming a small diamond storm.

This is a course she needs to practice every day. Su Hao told her that since her mutation, her energy reserves and physical condition have greatly improved.

As a price, the increase in power has made it more difficult to control. Now, in battle, she relies on her strong physique and energy to overwhelm her opponents with sheer numbers.

There's nothing wrong with that. Diancie's strength hasn't been affected at all. After all, her more advantageous conditions compared to ordinary Pokémon are also part of her strength, but it's far from enough for the path she'll take in the future.

A more precise and refined control over her own power is a direction she can try.

"First, integrate all your own strengths, and then try to create your own path."

This was Su Hao's suggestion to Tianxi, who had repeatedly encountered setbacks in the body sculpting process.

Now, whenever Diancie has free time, she engages in various training exercises, such as controlling the power of her moves, improving her control over energy, and learning acting skills.

"Tianxi, let's go," Su Hao said after dusting himself off his pants and standing up.

After much thought, Su Hao decided to first find out what kind of secret realm this somewhat gloomy place was, and where he was now, whether he was still within the territory of the Divine Continent Alliance.

"Good~"

Diancie released the energy she had been continuously injecting into her hand, and the diamonds that had been spinning at a steady speed turned into light dust and disappeared.

She slightly increased her floating speed and quickly caught up with Su Hao, who was walking ahead.

"What are we going to do now?" Tianxi blinked and tilted her head to ask Su Hao.

Su Hao lowered his head slightly and patiently explained, "Articuno said that the teleportation location is random. It may teleport you to the real world or to a secret realm, so we need to determine where we are first."

At this point, Su Hao looked at the endless rows of trees and seemed to have no end in sight, looking somewhat troubled.

This stretches as far as the eye can see.

The quick-witted and perceptive Diancie sensed Su Hao's thoughts and volunteered, "I'll go take a look in the sky!"

After speaking, Diancie effortlessly unleashed her telekinetic powers, performing a move where she "stepped on her right foot and ascended to heaven."

A pale purple psychic force carried her slowly upwards. Without the obstruction of the tree canopy, an endless forest and thick, dark clouds appeared in Diancie's view.

A few silent flashes of lightning occasionally streaked across the rolling dark clouds, giving the impression that rain was imminent.

After observing for a while, Tianxi squinted and carefully examined the area before she could see several large mountains made of rocks not far to the north!
