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

There's no chance against someone of similar strength.

Using a waveguide, Su Hao observed the fascinating Arctic Pokémon ecosystem from the sky.

However, when Su Hao's aura detected a relatively weak aura compared to that of a Pokémon, his expression changed slightly.

"Huh, is someone down there?"

His gaze quickly shifted from the Bogaman and White Sea Lion groups to the direction where the waveguide had been detected.

A fully armed man was crouching on a huge ice floe, holding binoculars and spying on the movements of the Bogaman and White Sea Lion tribes.

Because the other person was completely covered by various protective clothing, and even their face was not exposed, Su Hao could not determine the other person's race and identity.

But then, Su Hao discovered something he had overlooked.

The so-called giant ice floe beneath this person is not an ice floe at all, but a Pokémon floating in the sea!

Pokémon: [Glasmock]

Attribute: [Ice]

Gender: Female

Trait: [Frozen Body]

Level: [Early Stage of Professional Level]

"An ice rock monster... no wonder."

This behemoth is known as the "ice aircraft carrier" of the sea. Despite its massive weight, it can carry a large number of Pokémon or humans and swim freely in the sea.

Furthermore, since their bodies are entirely made of ice, the polar environment is not fatal to them, making them quite suitable Pokémon for survival here.

Furthermore, given that the Yellow River research station established by the Shenzhou Alliance is located nearby, the identities of the people below are already self-evident.

Researchers at the Yellow River Research Station are observing the ecology of Pokémon in the Arctic!

Su Hao specifically chose the Yellow River Research Station, one of the lost research stations, but judging from the person's condition, he didn't seem to be in any particular urgency or distress.

It seems that the problem here is simply that signals cannot be transmitted?

Thinking in his mind did not prevent Su Hao from lowering the flight altitude of the Articulated Bird. Although he had confirmed that the Yellow River Research Station was safe, he could leave immediately.

But no matter what, this is a research station established by our own alliance.

Since we're already here, let's take a little time to chat with them. If they have any combat-related problems that need to be solved, I can take care of those myself.

With this mindset in mind, Su Hao and Articuno appeared directly in front of that person and the Ice Golem.

"........Holy crap!?"

The man uttered a muffled, indistinct phrase from beneath the clothing covering his face, further confirming his identity as a Chinese.

The other stared blankly at the Articuno, which was radiating an awe-inspiring power, its not-so-thin body trembling involuntarily.

No way, I was just observing the cute Bogarmans and baby sea lions, and I didn't even get close to them so as not to affect the independence of their group.

Even with all that caution, how could they still be punished by the gods?!

Su Hao quickly revealed his identity to the person in front of him who was about to faint from fright.

"champion......?"

He Wen stared wide-eyed and murmured, his brain, slightly sluggish from the cold, almost unable to process what he was hearing.

Wasn't Liao Xingchen the champion of the Shenzhou Alliance? And the young man in front of me is... Oh right, it seems that during the time when his expedition team set off last year before the polar night arrived, the Alliance's Four Heavenly Kings and champions all changed.

It's no wonder he didn't react immediately. After spending almost half a year in the Arctic Circle during the polar night, coupled with the frequent signal outages, he really didn't know much about the current situation back home.

Not to mention that the Yellow River research station is currently only a month away from the arrival of the polar day, and due to external factors, it has been completely unable to contact the alliance.

If Su Hao hadn't appeared, this state of isolation would have continued for some time.

As a scientific researcher with some of the world's most brilliant minds, He Wen quickly grasped the situation.

Then he burst into tears.

"Waaaaah, we were only temporarily out of contact, but the league actually sent the champions over for us! I'm so touched, waaaaah!"

If it weren't for the extremely low outdoor temperature, He Wen, who was tugging at Su Hao's sleeve as if he had seen a relative, would have been wiping away tears and snot all over Su Hao's clothes.

Speechless, Su Hao: "........."

No, why would such a clear-headed yet foolish creature, just like a college student, work at an Arctic research station?

Faced with Su Hao's questioning, He Wen blinked and said innocently, "After completing my bachelor's, master's, and doctoral studies at school, I came here to work directly with my supervisor!"

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm almost thirty!"

You look like you're thirteen years old.

Su Hao rolled his eyes, mentally complained, and then asked the question he cared about most.

"Has the Yellow River research station encountered any strange occurrences recently? And what could be the reason for the loss of contact due to external factors?"

"Strange thing?"

He Wen cautiously glanced at the famous Ice God above his head, thinking that this must be the strangest thing he had encountered since arriving in the Arctic Circle.

But how could he dare to cricket in front of the main character? After racking his brains for a moment, he replied, "We haven't encountered anything strange. If the external force that caused the loss of contact is a Pokémon in the Arctic Circle."

"Because the satellite communication system, which was the most frequently used by the research station, became unusable a few months ago, we adopted the method of using a relay station to maintain contact with the alliance."

"However, because wild Pokémon living inside the Arctic continent migrate to the edge of the Arctic Circle due to the polar night, several of our signal relay stations were attacked, and because that species has made that area its temporary territory, we are unable to send maintenance personnel to repair them."

"We originally planned to wait until the polar day arrived and the other party left before sending someone to repair it."

So that's how it is.

Su Hao breathed a slight sigh of relief, but also felt a little disappointed.

It's probably because the Yellow River research station is located on the edge of the continent. The reason for the loss of contact is quite ordinary. Even if left unattended, communication can be restored after the polar day arrives.

But the more Su Hao thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and he had a bad feeling. He blinked and asked, "Do you know the species of that Pokémon group?"

When asked this question, He Wen paused for a second before subconsciously answering, "Who else could it be but the Mannura clan?"

Su Hao: "?"

As if recalling some terrible memory, He Wen subconsciously shrank his neck, his expression turning somewhat frightened.

"They are notorious predators on this continent, even more cunning than some of the rogue aquatic Pokémon species we encountered at sea when we set sail."

“We have sent out repair teams before, but they not only failed, but they were almost tracked back to the research station by them.”

"If it weren't for the ice floes that provided some shelter, once we were surrounded, we would have been completely helpless."

"The planned in-depth research into the Arctic continent has had to be suspended for safety reasons, so now I can only spy on the penguins and sea lions living in the Arctic from here!"

He Wen became more and more agitated as he spoke, his face showing a deep sense of bitterness and resentment.

Unfortunately, he had his face completely covered, so Su Hao could only judge from his tone that he must have been unhappy with the Mannura tribe for a long time.

No matter how foolish He Wen may be, he is still a talent who can stay in the Arctic with the team. As he spoke, his eyes lit up like Watson discovering a blind spot.

"By the way, if it were you, Su Guanjun, you might be able to stop those Weavile and buy us time to repair the relay station!"

"No, it definitely can!"

After all, the God of Ice is right here. It would be a piece of cake for Su Hao to deal with a bunch of Weavile.

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

It is undoubtedly a gratifying thing that the Yellow River research station was not attacked.

After learning about the situation from He Wen, the assistant researcher, Su Hao decided to go to the research station to take a look and then help them solve the problem.

Not far after crossing the icy sea, a small island-like landmass came into view.

In the central area of ​​the island is a cluster of striking orange buildings constructed from modular structures. It seems that the eye-catching color was deliberately chosen to make the buildings easier for researchers to identify in the icy and snowy environment.

In front of a shocked He Wen, Su Hao temporarily recalled Articuno into its Master Ball. He planned to go into the research station and have a chat with the station chief.

The other party and the members of the research station welcomed Su Hao with great enthusiasm and expressed shock at the strange loss of contact with other research stations that Su Hao mentioned.

In fact, the different research stations belonging to the Shenzhou Alliance would communicate regularly, but this place was in a state of isolation from the world, and they thought that only they were out of contact, but they did not expect such a serious problem to occur.

People who work at research stations aren't stupid; they certainly wouldn't assume that everyone is facing the same problem.

The atmosphere became somewhat agitated. At this moment, the station chief of the Yellow River Scientific Research Station stepped forward, calmed his subordinates down, and entrusted Su Hao with the task of helping to restore the relay station.

According to him, the signal relay stations belonging to the Shenzhou Alliance are actually shared, and once this one is repaired, it might be able to contact other research stations.

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

Chapter 1504 Do not answer! Do not answer!

After making the decision, Su Hao immediately proposed his plan to solve the problem.

According to the watch's location, the other three teams are already approaching their destination research station.

If we resolve the issue quickly, we might be able to contact them directly through the equipment at the Yellow River Research Station.

With the champion's status and the confidence of having a god by their side, the Yellow River Scientific Research Station quickly organized a maintenance team without worrying about combat strength. The team was responsible for repairing the relay station and guiding Su Hao.

The team members happened to include He Wen, which made Su Hao look at him with slightly more respect.

Although his tone of voice seemed a bit dull, his professional skills appeared to be quite solid.

After crossing the sea of ​​floating ice, the first relay station is about 20 kilometers away from the Yellow River scientific research station, which will take a considerable amount of time at the convoy's speed.

—Su Hao thought it was too slow, so he summoned Lucario right in front of them. After determining the direction, he had Lucario teleport everyone in that direction.

While Hoopa is undoubtedly superior in terms of long-distance travel, Lucario, after acquiring the power of time and space, can also perform continuous teleportation over long distances with multiple life forms.

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and after several waves of dizziness, they found that their location and scenery had completely changed.

This place is located within the Arctic continent, surrounded by an endless frozen plain with almost no shelter.

—The signal relay station not far away is an exception.
