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

Rather, putting aside other aspects, even considering his current status as the youngest Master Trainer and a champion representing a league, there's no need for him to be overly respectful to the other party.

Both sides took their seats and began to communicate.

To be honest, if it weren't for the quiet surroundings and the absence of reporters, Su Hao felt that his meeting with the other party would definitely have been recorded and then solemnly broadcast on the 7 PM news every night...

Antonio didn't waste any time; after a few polite words, he immediately got to the point.

"To be honest, I have a way that will allow you to enter the territory of the Northern Bear Alliance immediately without wasting time waiting for diplomatic negotiations or going through approval processes."

Su Hao activated his waveguide directly, so he was able to confirm that Antonio wasn't lying. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Tell me in detail."

Antonio nodded slightly and began to explain the ways he could "arrange" for Su Hao.

It turns out that the White Eagle Alliance, the Northern Bear Alliance, and the Shenzhou Alliance are currently preparing for a joint polar scientific expedition in cooperation with each other.

The purpose is to rotate the research stations established by their alliance in the polar regions, and to determine the safety of several research stations that have recently lost contact.

If Su Hao were willing, he could act as an escort for this joint polar research vessel, directly entering the territory of the Northern Bear Alliance to meet up with the research team, and under the guidance of an experienced individual, enter the most mysterious Arctic on Earth.

—Some might ask, since the Divine Continent Alliance is one of the three major alliances, why can't Su Hao be directly included?

The answer is, indeed, no.

In order to check and balance each other, the increase in personnel is certainly not something that the Shenzhou Alliance can decide on its own, but Antonio can represent the White Eagle Alliance and stand on the same side as the Shenzhou Alliance.

At that time, the Northern Bears Alliance could only barely accept it.

This is the help Antonio can offer Su Hao: to immediately and legally enter the territory of the Northern Bears, and even to enter the Arctic Circle under the guidance of experienced individuals.

Su Hao was indeed tempted.

However, these things didn't make him agree immediately, since if he really wanted to go to those two places, no one could stop him.

He would only consider taking this shortcut if he knew Antonio's true purpose.

"So, what is the price?"

Su Hao's words were exactly what Antonio had expected.

After all, it would be strange if someone readily agreed to everything.

He is extremely talented, yet not blindly confident.

Such a person is indeed the biggest obstacle to the White Eagle Alliance's resurgence.

However, the other party is no longer a pushover that can be easily manipulated, and it would be a loss for the White Eagle Alliance to make an enemy of such a person.

Their task is to leverage the other party's strength and build a good relationship.

After carefully considering his words, Antonio slowly began, "There is indeed something I need Sue's help with."

"What do you know about Regigigas, the Pillar King?"

After glancing at Antonio, Su Hao replied directly, "Legend has it that he once moved continental plates in ancient times and even created the legendary giants himself."

"Regice, Registeel, Regirock... I remember, the substances that make up the legendary island are related to the divine pillars created by these three Regigigas, right?"

"........"

Antonio opened his mouth, shocked by Su Hao's knowledge of Regigigas.

However, he tried his best to conceal his emotional changes and slowly said, "To be honest, the reason why Regice, the Holy Pillar King, was willing to become my ally and fight alongside me is... the reason why one of the divine pillars he created, the ice-attribute divine pillar named Regice, seems to have been controlled."

Chapter 1491 Regice's Location

The meeting between the two sides concluded successfully.

After leaving behind the words "Looking forward to fighting you in the final," Antonio himself took his men and left the territory of the Shenzhou Alliance without hesitation.

Shortly after his return to the White Eagle Alliance, the tide of the three-way stalemate shifted dramatically.

The Northern Bear Alliance was quite bewildered to discover that overnight, the Divine Continent Alliance and the White Eagle Alliance seemed to have reached a consensus on some issue and were now jointly putting pressure on them.

After all, the Northern Bear Alliance was concerned about its own alliance's lost research station. Seeing that Shenzhou and White Eagle, two guys who had never gotten along, had reached an agreement, the Northern Bear Alliance had no choice but to compromise.

The plan was approved at an astonishing speed.

Having obtained his "green card," Su Hao began preparing for his departure.

That evening, Su Qing called after receiving the news.

Compared to Su Xu, a semi-illiterate man who thought that as long as he brought a Fire-type Pokémon, he wouldn't have to worry about low temperatures, Su Qing knew much better what kind of place the Arctic was, which Su Hao was going to.

If you only focus on the extremely low temperatures there, you'll definitely fall and get a bloody head injury.

Strictly speaking, the Arctic is not a region with a large amount of land like Antarctica.

The correct name for the Arctic should be the Arctic Ocean, just like the Pacific Ocean, which is a region composed of a large amount of seawater.

Glaciers and islands are far fewer than in Antarctica, and many areas are completely divided up by different neighboring countries.

Of course, this only describes the state of Earth before Su Hao's transmigration.

In fact, the North Pole of Earth is not the Arctic Ocean, but the Arctic continent, which is the same as Antarctica.

The terrain also varies greatly, with areas covered by large amounts of sea ice as well as several frozen landmasses and icebergs.

And for unknown reasons, the environment there is far harsher than that of Antarctica.

The Pokémon that can survive there are mostly Ice-type Pokémon or Pokémon with methods to resist the cold.

The research stations of the various alliances have put a lot of effort into building them. In fact, due to the harsh environment there, they can only stay indoors for half the year and cannot go out at all.

Depending on the time of year, the Arctic can also experience polar night and polar day.

Su Hao's choice of departure time was also quite bad. At this time, the Arctic is in the long polar night period, when it is almost half of the year dark.

Most of the Arctic Circle is in complete darkness, with only some areas experiencing a faint twilight.

This period is extremely dangerous not only for humans, but also for most Pokémon living in the Arctic Circle.

The three alliances originally planned to wait until the polar night passed before organizing personnel to enter the Arctic Circle for exploration.

As more and more research stations lost contact, they disregarded the dangers that explorers might face, such as hypothermia, dehydration, frostbite, snow blindness, and even polar night syndrome, and attempted to organize a team to enter the Arctic Circle to find out what was going on.

—What exactly happened there?

This answer has touched many hearts.

Su Qing also knew something about what was happening there, but she was not invited to board that polar research vessel.

Even if we invite her, she might not agree to take the risk.

Su Hao's choice was a bolt from the blue for Su Qing. Even though she knew her son had plenty of confidence, she still worriedly told Su Hao about the precautions she knew or had hastily scrambled from acquaintances.

The call lasted until very late.

After Su Hao hung up the phone, Reshiram and Articuno, who had transformed into chibi versions of a dragon and a bird to sleep with, looked at each other and sighed, "What a sweet trouble."

........

Su Hao set his departure date for the next day, February 5th.

Without Antonio's prompting, the Shenzhou Alliance provided the exact departure time for the research vessel.

— February 8th, which is three days later.

This also means that, according to Su Hao's plan, he only has less than three days to challenge the three holy swordsmen.

Time is of the essence, and the task is arduous.

Fortunately, the research vessel will also prepare Su Hao's share of equipment and supplies, so there's no need to worry about that.

Or rather, it could make Su Qing less worried.

He wouldn't have to waste time waiting, even if he personally might not need these things.

Due to the harsh environment of the Arctic Circle, coupled with the various difficulties faced during navigation under the polar night, specially designed protective equipment has become a necessity.

It seems that the Shenzhou Alliance extracted some technical secrets from those two Ultimate World prisoners; otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to choose to sail in the polar night environment.

Regardless of whether these technologies can perfectly replicate the technological effects of the Ultimate World, at least the Ultra Survey Team Uniform Mod that Su Hao obtained from Mewtwo is enough to ensure that he can move freely in the Arctic Circle environment.

It's important to understand that the Ultimate Space in the Ultimate World also has extreme low-temperature environments. If a protective suit can protect the human body even under the tearing force of the Ultimate Hole, how could it not protect against low-temperature environments?

Su Hao was also very concerned about the Ice God Pillar Regice.

Judging from his subsequent conversation with Antonio, he had roughly figured out the cause and effect of the matter.

Legendary Island is essentially the area that Regigigas's dormant "Awakening Temple" transformed into after descending to the mortal world.

The island is formed by the three powers of Registeel, Regirock, and Regice, and they themselves slumber on the island as guardians of the Temple of Awakening.

Until one day, Regice silently disappeared into its own ruins, completely severing its connection with Regigigas.

Regigigas didn't need to care so much about his creation.

But Regice is, after all, one of the legends who wields the power of icebergs and influences the stability of the world.

To ensure Regice's safety, Regigigas had to awaken from its long slumber, and what followed was something Su Hao already knew.

—In exchange for its own participation in the Legends Cup, Regigigas chose to borrow the power of humans to search for Regice's whereabouts.

Then, after being outsourced through several layers, the job ended up in Su Hao's hands.

However, Antonio himself was quite sensible, only saying that if Su Hao had any relevant news while he was operating in the far north, he should inform them.

They didn't have any wishful thinking that they could expect him to handle things perfectly and bring Regice back just by saying "I'll do you a favor."

However... Su Hao had already roughly identified his target.

There are only a handful of legendary ice-type Pokémon that hold power.

Su Hao knew everyone except Regice.

Currently, apart from Sakaki and the mysterious First Seat, the Nova Team only has one person left.

Considering the location of Hoopa's malice, it becomes immediately clear how Regice disappeared!
