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

Su Hao stared at the tombstone with a complicated expression, clutching two unidentified objects that looked like watches in his hands.

He had already disposed of the dark, dried bloodstains, and the mangled corpse was buried beneath the earth.

Since the bodies were so badly altered, how could Su Hao possibly recognize the two of them?

That was naturally the wave guide seed he had left on the two of them, which he had quietly planted before officially entering Ultra Metropolis and separating from them.

But I never expected to encounter the same faint reaction here.

"Given the rate at which your waveguide seed has been lost, it's probably been less than half a month since it was planted."

The experienced Rahiram made the judgment.

"In other words, if the ultimate world's time is synchronized with Earth's, less than half a month has passed since I left?"

Su Hao immediately noticed the blind spot.

The sudden joy slightly eased some of the complex emotions.

“I’m afraid so.” Reshiram nodded slightly, but then poured cold water on the idea, “Of course, it’s also possible that these two accidentally entered the Ultra Dimension where time slows down, just like the Ultra Forest you mentioned, where there are actually time differences between Ultra Dimensions.”

"I see."

Su Hao knew that Rahiram wanted to keep him from being too optimistic and avoid feeling down if reality didn't match his expectations.

After a brief exchange with Rahiram, Su Hao's gaze fell upon the two unmarked tombstones.

Sally and Blue.

The Ultimate Investigation Team members who accidentally wandered onto Earth helped Gu Dinglu block an enraged attack from him, and then the two of them led him to the Ultimate Metropolis.

To be honest, his relationship with these two was just as Xi Weng had once said: a fleeting encounter.

The two people showed no ill will towards me; in fact, they were friendly.

Just as Su Hao knows who his real enemy is, he generally won't target neutral parties like the two unless absolutely necessary.

His primary target was always the few old men who made up the Senate of Metropolis within the Metropolitan Tower.

Su Hao has a pretty good memory, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to memorize so much information about Pokémon.

Although several months have passed in the Pokémon world, it would be a lie to say that I don't have complicated feelings when I suddenly discover that the two people who were alive and well in my memory have died so inexplicably.

After all, the almost religious yearning for light that these two people showed when they were talking to him, and the stiff, almost shameful emotion they displayed when they passed by the "slums," were not fake.

However, if the timing is correct, less than half a month has passed, so how could the two of them have died inexplicably in this boundless wilderness?

Judging from its condition, it seems to have been buried alive by those rubble.

Su Hao looked down at the two "watches" on his hands, and his intuition told him that he might find the answer in them.

Although it is described as a watch, it is actually just an object with a similar shape.

The surface is a smooth plane made of an unknown material, which may look somewhat similar to the building materials of the metropolis.

Su Hao recalled that, based on some information revealed during their casual conversation, the energy barrier that blocked the ancient cauldron deer's attack, as well as other miscellaneous functions, were all based on these two "tables".

There's nothing they can do but open the Ultimate Cavern; otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have come to Su Hao himself.

It cannot be activated at the moment, presumably because it is out of power.

Or perhaps it was precisely because of the lack of energy that the two died here.

"As for energy, it's probably solar power—"

Su Hao remembered that the Ultimate Metropolis was a futuristic high-tech city built entirely on solar energy, and most of its technology trees were related to solar energy.

As for solar energy, while we don't have an abundance here, the difference isn't significant.

With Diancie around, none of this is a problem.

And the most important question is indeed—

"Will activating these two watches reveal my location?"

Su Hao thought that he should try to operate in the shadows as much as possible, so that he could catch those old men off guard.

Is it really necessary to take this risk just to find out the cause of their deaths?

Rahiram offered timely advice.

"Activate it, otherwise we won't be able to obtain any other clues."

"......it is good."

Su Hao nodded slightly, summoned Diancie, and attempted to charge the watch.

Fortunately, he had secretly observed how the two used the watch through the waveguide, and after studying it, he should be able to get the hang of it.

.........

After a period of time.

Looking at the holographic projection that appeared in front of him, resembling a system panel, Su Hao seemed to be deep in thought.

There is good news and bad news.

The good news is that the watch was also severely damaged, and its communication function is probably gone.

The bad news is that the watch is malfunctioning due to severe damage, and it seems that only the most basic recording function remains.

This dashed Su Hao's hopes of obtaining further information about the Ultimate Metropolis.

Anyway, there's nowhere to go.

He simply found a place to sit, took out a tea set from the system space, used the Metagross as a table, and listened to the original recording while drinking tea.

A large portion of the recording files are also damaged; most of the earlier dates are gone, leaving only the most recent ones.

Although he felt like he was prying into someone else's secrets, Su Hao listened to each of them.

The recording function seemed to only activate when they put on their Ultimate Survey Team protective suits, so most of the recordings were related to their mission.

It's nothing more than exploring a place, searching for resources, and checking for traces of Ultra Beasts.

The two were clearly not combatants, and most of the information they provided was of little importance.

They also rarely chatted.

It wasn't until later in the recording that Su Hao heard some useful information.

All combat personnel in the metropolis have been deployed. What happened? Could it be an Ultra Beast invasion?

The battle outside is quite intense; the Metropolitan Tower's lighting weapons have been activated. What kind of Ultimate Beast would require such a weapon?

The examinations are all complete, why can't we leave here yet?

The elders of the Senate want to see us, saying they want to inquire about something from another world.

[As for Su Hao, he's a native of Earth. Wouldn't it be better to ask him than us?]

We've already told you everything we know, so why keep asking?

It has been twelve days since I returned to the metropolis.

When can we go home to see our families?

[We have a mission to search for Ultra Beasts. Lord Sion said that we can take a vacation after completing the mission!]

[My protective suit is malfunctioning... Help... Help me!]

[The sound of gravel crushing against the body.]

Chapter 1212 Old Friends x2

"Based on current intelligence, it appears that the two individuals died after their protective suits malfunctioned during the mission."

Su Hao fiddled with his watch and made a summary.

After a long pause, Reshiram finally said, "It fits my preconceived notions about humans."

"Yes, that fits perfectly."

Su Hao nodded, picked up his teacup, and took a sip of hot tea.

"It seems like an accidental death, but who was behind it? Who could have done it? And who wanted them to shut up? It's almost obvious."

"Looks like they have designs on Earth."

Su Hao pictured the old men behind the glass wall and sneered.

Even if I had a moment of madness and actually chose to cooperate with them, I'm afraid I would have been used and discarded without even realizing it.

Just like Lisa and Blue, who are now laid to rest, they believed that those who ruled the Senate were betrayed and their trust was used to end their lives.

Not to mention, that so-called god-making plan is just their side of the story.

The true situation remains unknown.

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

After a brief interlude, Su Hao, having gathered a considerable amount of information, tidied up the table, put away the tea set, wiped it with a cloth, and even fed the Metagross monster that served as the table a specially made metal apple before preparing to continue exploring.

He kept Metagross outside, hoping that Mewtwo would sense Metagross by destroying genes and come looking for them.

However, it turns out that Mewtwo was probably not in the same Ultra Dimension as Mewtwo and Metagross at this time, otherwise it wouldn't have been missing for so long.

The other party came over shortly after he arrived at the Ultimate Metropolis last time. After thinking it over, this is the only explanation.

After advancing for another two hours, Su Hao finally discovered life forms at the edge of the waveguide detection.

An Ultimate Beast in motion.

UB: to pile up.

The ultimate monster named Leileishi.

It seems that each stone that makes it up is an independent living entity. Some people believe that each stack of stones is composed of 150 living entities.

The Rock + Steel type is awkward, being four times weak to Ground and four times weak to Fighting.

Su Hao's team didn't have any Ground-type Pokémon, but they did have two Fighting-type Pokémon.

Lucario is summoned, and the Fighting-type move "Power Shot" is used in the One-Hit Strike Style: Ultimate Punch, shattering the rocks into pieces.
