Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

The warriors sent by Elder Little Diamond were quite strong, at least elite level, and had a calm and reliable personality.

Xia Chen discerned this personality trait from the fact that the latter had been refusing to comment on Diancie and the Holy Diamond, despite his attempts to inquire about them along the way.

Judging from this guy's loyalty, the Diamond Kingdom's cohesion is much stronger than that of ordinary elven groups.

That place was indeed not far from the territory of the little diamonds; even without riding the Guleton, it took more than half an hour to walk there.

What came into view was a stone house, and Xia Chen knew it was a disguise.

The entrance is small and ordinary, only slightly larger than the small hut of a forest ranger in the mountains.

Xia Chen wasn't surprised; the more unusual it was, the more it suggested that this place was haunted.

If it were an official study by the Carlos Alliance, why would they be so secretive?

Xia Chen released his Aura to investigate the area around the house. As expected, there were at least a dozen elite-level Pokémon scattered throughout the woods and bushes.

Most of them are common elves found in the Carlos Mountains, such as mountain goats, white butterflies, arrow eagles, and pumpkin monsters.

Undoubtedly, these powerful elves, distributed in an unusually dense manner, are the guardians of this secret base, and there are two humans standing by inside the house.

There is only one way to enter the base without alerting the enemy.

A flash of white light appeared, and Deochis's tall figure materialized.

"Help me stun all the elves and humans in this area, and don't make a sound."

Xia Chen said.

Although having Deoxys do the work was a bit like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, Xia Chen was worried that the commotion outside would provoke the people inside to take some extreme measures.

To be on the safe side, it's better to sneak in.

This trivial matter was nothing to Deoxys. He controlled his energy to create dozens of clones, and in a few moments, he completed the task assigned by Xia Chen.

Elite-level Pokémon may be powerful beings that ordinary wild Pokémon can only look up to, but legendary Pokémon can destroy them with a flick of their fingers.

Little Diamond stared in astonishment at the strange scene of dozens of clones dispersing and then returning—

Oh wait, little diamonds don't have a tongue.

"Let's go."

Xia Chen woke up Little Diamond and then walked straight into the house that stood alone in the mountains.

Contrary to its simple exterior, the house is equipped with sophisticated modern facilities inside.

Xia Chen also saw the surrounding surveillance footage on the big screen, and in front of the screen were two people wearing Flame Team uniforms who were unconscious.

"Deochis, awaken them with healing waves."

Healing fluctuations can also affect humans.

As tiny, life-giving energy particles were injected, the two immediately awoke.

He instinctively tried to press the warning button connected to the underground base, but found himself unable to move.

The air was filled with terrifying energy that was almost solidified, and they felt as if their bodies did not belong to them, and they could not even speak.

Then, they saw Xia Chen and Deochis beside him.

Surprise, fear, and pleading for mercy—Xia Chen read these emotions in their eyes.

"It seems you two still recognize me."

Xia Chen didn't waste words with them and warned directly, "If you want to live, you'd better not do anything unusual, unless you're confident you're faster than Deoxys."

Clearly, their loyalty to Team Flare was less than their loyalty to life itself.

After Deoxys withdrew the pressure of his mental power, they did not have any intention of moving and their bodies remained taut.

Xia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. "I ask, you answer, understand?"

The two nodded hurriedly, "Understood!"

"Is this Team Flare's secret base?"

"That's right!"

What are they researching inside?

"We're just the guards, we don't know..."

"...If you don't even know what the noises are every half month or so, then you're worthless."

Both men looked distressed. One of them managed to answer, "I only know a little bit; it seems to be an experiment on a powerful weapon..."

The other person suddenly realized, "Ah, there's one more thing! After each experiment, a group of people would come out and return to the base carrying black bags. I glimpsed... the carcass of a little goat that I was riding."

…………

Xia Chen frowned.

Experimental weapons, elf corpses...

It truly is the ultimate weapon!

He knew perfectly well that this thing, created by King AZ of Carlos three thousand years ago, had the effect of absorbing the life force of elves and causing terrifying destruction!

This is also Fladali's ultimate goal—to eliminate a portion of the world's humans and elves through the ultimate weapon, thereby creating a world with more abundant resources.

Although the two seem unrelated, but...

With fewer resources available, wouldn't that mean more resources for the remaining humans and elves?

Because of Thanos's ideas, Xia Chen always felt that Vladari, this seemingly kind and amiable guy, was actually the most extreme villain among all the villains in the Elf World.

As far as Xia Chen knew, two conditions were required to activate the ultimate weapon—

First, it's driven by the energy of Xerneas or Yveltal; second, it's the key to unlocking the ultimate weapon, which is in the hands of AZ, who has lived for three thousand years.

In the original storyline, A.Z. was imprisoned in the lower levels of the Vladari Institute by his descendant, Vladari.

It appears that in this timeline, AZ is not only imprisoned, but the key to unlocking the ultimate weapon has also fallen into the hands of Vladali.

So Vladali was only one step away from achieving his ultimate goal—the power of the X and Y gods!

To be precise, having either one of these two types of energy is sufficient.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Xia Chen looked expressionlessly at the two henchmen of Team Flame.

"Now, open the entrance to the base."

Chapter 424 The Arrogant Princess and the Steel Dragon

For Xia Chen, who held the Guleton and Deochis, the so-called heavily guarded underground base was about as easy to enter and exit as his own home.

Even though this is the most heavily guarded underground base of Team Flare.

Having realized that a terrifying ultimate weapon was hidden here, Xia Chen no longer concealed it and directly ordered Gu Leton and Deochis to destroy all the facilities here.

The Flame Team members stationed there surrendered almost without resistance, their hands bound, as smoothly as if they had practiced it countless times.

Xia Chen couldn't really kill them either, since ordinary members of Team Flame might not be aware of Vladari's ultimate goal.

After destroying the ultimate weapon, he relayed the information to Karuni, leaving the rest to the current champion, Carlos.

Although Karune found it unbelievable that "Vladali and his Flame Team are the largest dark organization in the Carlos region".

But given Xia Chen's unwavering assertion as a "criminal killer" and the complete chain of evidence surrounding the underground base, she had no choice but to believe it.

He immediately ordered the arrest of Carlos, the famous scientist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist.

Unfortunately, when Xia Chen destroyed the underground base, they probably already got wind of it.

When a large number of Carlos Alliance personnel arrived at the Vladali Institute, it was already deserted, and even AZ, who was imprisoned on the bottom floor of the institute, was nowhere to be found.

Even more terrifying is that countless small "ultimate weapons" are hidden in the underground base of the Vladali Institute.

Xia Chen didn't know if it was a model or a real, usable one, but it meant one thing—Vladali had been working on the imitation of the ultimate weapon!

Therefore, it remains questionable whether the "ultimate weapon" he destroyed at the Flame Team underground base on Mount Karas was real or unique.

After all, that thing was much easier to destroy than Xia Chen had imagined...

Moreover, in the original timeline, the true location of the ultimate weapon is in Shixiang Town.

"In any case, I would like to thank you for yet another great contribution to the peace cause in the Carlos region."

The president of the Carlos Alliance expressed his sincere gratitude to Xia Chen afterward.

Xia Chen said modestly, "It's just a trivial matter, but please be sure to pay attention to the subsequent safety issues. After all, you know how powerful Vladali is."

In his view, the fact that the Elf World is frequently threatened with destruction by dark organizations is inextricably linked to the inaction of the Alliance.

The alliance leader, who was being lectured by his juniors, wasn't angry; after all, he was mostly feeling lingering fear.

Vladali is actually the biggest criminal in the Carlos region!

This news is only slightly less explosive than Chairman Loz's.

Following this incident, the most influential conglomerates in each region will likely face serious investigations from the alliance.

…………

Having resolved the crisis in the Carlos region without bloodshed, Xia Chen returned to the cave in the Diamond Mining Country.

Although this was not Yveltal's dwelling place, and the information provided by Elder Little Diamond was of little use, Xia Chen still decided to keep his promise and help Diancie find Xerneas.

Who can blame me for being so cute... no, who can blame me for having nothing to do anyway?

After the incident of destroying the Flame Team's base, Xia Chen also gained Elder Little Diamond's full trust.

It no longer rejects the idea of ​​having Tianxi follow Xia Chen to find Xernias.

Of course, it is also very necessary to send a few diamond-encrusted guards to accompany the princess on her journey.

Before officially leaving the Diamond Kingdom with Diancie, Xia Chen first introduced this temporary travel companion to his elf.

"She is Diancie, the princess of the Diamond Kingdom. Starting today, she will be traveling with us for a while to find Yveltal."

Diancie corrected her earnestly, "No, it's about finding Xerneas!"

Xia Chen waved his hand, "That's about right. If we can find Yveltal, Xerneas will most likely appear."

Tianxi nodded as if she understood, and reluctantly agreed to Xia Chen's arrangement.
