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

…………

The mystery doesn't refer to Dragon Island's geographical location. After all, it's a large archipelago, and hiding it wouldn't be easy.

However, even knowing the geographical location of Dragon Island, no one outside the Imperial Dragon Family has ever set foot on it throughout history.

The waters surrounding Dragon Island are not only constantly guarded by a large number of ferocious Gyarados, but also by countless surging ocean currents and reefs.

Furthermore, the skies above the waters surrounding Dragon Island are perpetually shrouded in thunderstorms created by Dragonair and Dragonite, making it impossible to enter.

Even if someone manages to get inside, they will be met by countless dragon-type spirits soaring in the sky, who will not be friendly to outsiders who trespass on Dragon Island.

After countless reckless poachers disappeared in this vast sea, Dragon Island became an urban legend existing only in the ears of most people.

The city of Shangjing is very close to the sea. With the three Pokémon's flying speed, they entered the sea area in less than half an hour.

However, this is just the beginning of the entire journey.

He didn't know how long they flew over the vast, boundless sea, until the sun's angle became increasingly slanted and its light increasingly dim. Finally, at the edge of his vision, Xia Chen saw a large, magnificent expanse of dark clouds.

Having read a lot about the legends of Dragon Island before coming here, Xia Chen knew in his heart that Dragon Island must be under that dark cloud.

The thought that this secret place, rarely visited by anyone, was about to open its doors to him filled Xia Chen with a sense of excitement.

As expected, the leading bluebird adjusted its flight angle and began to fly diagonally downwards after seeing the dark clouds.

The desert dragonfly beneath Xia Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to accelerate. Although with its stamina, it wouldn't be a problem to carry Xia Chen for another half a day.

But flying for too long gets boring, and besides, what's the point of a desert dragonfly just flying around on the sea all the time?

Just like the most widely circulated urban legends, there really is a group of Gyarados in the waters surrounding Dragon Island.

The density of Gyarados here is terrifyingly high; it's almost as common in this sea area as Magikarp is in ordinary rivers and lakes.

Xia Chen was still shaken as he walked through the group of Gyarados that were staring at him with ferocious eyes.

He believed that if it weren't for the bluebird leading the way, he and the desert dragonfly would definitely have been torn to pieces.

No wonder those who supposedly tried to reach Dragon Island never returned; with this kind of scene, anyone who came would be completely bewildered.

After they passed through the Gyarados Sea, a beautiful island finally appeared before Xia Chen in the sea fog.

We've arrived at Dragon Island.

…………

Stepping back onto the ground, Xia Chen experienced the feeling of being grounded again after a long time.

Now that he had arrived at his destination, he wasn't in a hurry to find his favorite elf, but instead planned to stay and rest for a while.

After flying all the way, both the desert dragonfly and I were a little tired.

Having completed its guiding mission, the Qixi Bluebird flapped its wings and bid farewell to Xia Chen and Long Yue.

"seven--"

Long Yue asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to rest for a while and come with us? We're going to the main island too."

The bluebird glanced at Xia Chen discreetly and shook its head.

Long Yue didn't notice this detail, but Xia Chen, whose mental strength was extraordinary, did. However, he didn't show it and just politely said, "Thank you for your hard work, Qixi Bluebird."

"Seven~"

The bluebird nodded happily, then spread its wings and left.

Watching the bluebird fly far away into the distance, Xia Chen thoughtfully stroked his chin. What did that look in her eyes mean?

If someone is going the same way as you but leaves first, it's hard to believe there's nothing fishy going on.

However, since Long Du was gone, guessing was pointless. Xia Chen put aside his random thoughts and released Xianbu and the others, who had been holding back all afternoon.

"Come out, everyone!"

Several flashes of white light appeared, and Sylvanas, Milotic, Kirlia, and Zoroah emerged from the ball in turn.

Long Yue also released the few Pokémon she had brought with her on this trip. In addition to the Altaria she had ridden all the way here, there was also a Gillfish Dragon and a Dragonhead Excadrill.

With one Water Dragon and one Ground Steel, she can be said to have made up for some of the type disadvantages of Altaria and Dragonair.

After the Dragon Island envoy left, the leader of the delegation was Long Yue, who had visited Dragon Island several times before.

Looking at the setting sun hanging not far above the sea, she made a decision: "Let's prepare dinner first."

Chapter 180 Target: The Quasi-God Cub Can Fly!

As Dragon Island, it may lack many things, but it certainly has no shortage of dragon-type spirits.

During dinner, Xia Chen and Long Yue cooked something in a remote corner of the island, which attracted elves such as Tooth, Buzzbat, and Blue Cottonbird to come and freeload.

Xia Chen was puzzled: "Isn't Dragon Island practically devoid of humans? Why aren't they afraid of us at all?"

Long Yue, who was petting a blue cotton bird with one hand, asked with amusement, "Why are they afraid of people?"

Xia Chen suddenly realized that his thoughts seemed a bit strange.

Indeed, in a paradise ruled by dragons, for elves to encounter humans would probably be no different from encountering harmless and threatening aliens.

Worrying that the elves might be afraid of him is really overthinking things.

Long Yue suddenly asked, "By the way, what kind of Pokémon do you want to capture? Have you thought about it yet?"

Xia Chen replied without hesitation, "A quasi-god cub! Preferably one that can fly."

The resources he has accumulated are now enough for him and his elf to squander. If possible, Xia Chen would naturally like to raise a late-blooming creature that combines rarity, potential, and good looks.

what?

What makes Long Jun's ferocious and violent quasi-gods so good-looking?

Talent is the most important thing that supports their good looks.

For example, Xia Chen thinks the Gilling Dragon sitting next to Long Yue, flashing its energy cubes, is pretty cool.

As for the other requirement, being able to fly is crucial, since travel to various parts of the world will definitely increase in the future. A main Pokémon that can fly will become especially important.

Taking both factors into account, Xia Chen doesn't have many options left.

Dragonite, Salamence, Garchomp, Hydreigon, Dragapult.

There are only five of them.

…………

After thinking for a while, Xia Chen smiled shyly and said, "If a quasi-god with three forms is willing to come with me, that would be even better."

Long Yue rolled her eyes: "You're dreaming. The dragon race only recognizes the strong, especially the stronger the elf. Those that can evolve to the third stage all have elite-level strength or higher. You..."

Just as she was about to dissuade Xia Chen from this unrealistic idea, she suddenly remembered Xianbu's heroic act half a month ago, and after thinking about it, she decided not to make any definitive statements.

However, she still said, "For your fifth Pokémon, I suggest you start training it from scratch, so it won't be too rebellious."

Xia Chen nodded readily, and after careful consideration, he realized that it was indeed more appropriate to start cultivating the team from scratch.

Long Yue continued, "Since that's your requirement for an ideal Pokémon, let's go straight to the main island without stopping. Almost all pseudo-legendary Pokémon are there. After we bring Dragonair back, I'll help you find a suitable Pokémon."

Xia Chen agreed to the plan. He didn't have any other thoughts at the moment; he would be satisfied as long as he could finally capture a Pokémon he liked.

After finalizing their plans during dinner, Xia Chen and Long Yue set up the tents needed for their nighttime camping trip.

Xia Chen didn't waste it and reused the high-tech tent he had used on his trip back to Carlos. The technology from the Vladali Research Institute surprised Long Yue a little.

Silent all night.

The next morning, after a simple breakfast, the two rode on their Desert Dragonfly and Altaria mounts and set off for the main island.

They arrived at the large island in the southwest, which was not too far from the main island in the southeast.

Compared to yesterday's long trek, it was completely unchallenging.

Along the way, they encountered many dragon-type spirits that looked quite ferocious, but they didn't pay much attention to Xia Chen and Long Yue, the two humans.

He glanced at it silently and then flew away.

After flying for about an hour and crossing a stretch of sea, the main island came into view before Xia Chen.

Having agreed to pick up Long Yue's Haklong first, the two did not linger but flew straight to the center of Dragon Island.

That place is the residence of the royal family of Dragon Island.

…………

The main island has a very diverse topography. As Xia Chen flew over, he discovered forests, plains, hills, and valleys, all suitable for various kinds of elves to inhabit.

At the very center lies a beautiful place nestled against the mountains and beside the water.

What caught Xia Chen's attention was that the closer they flew to the center, the more excited the desert dragonfly beneath them became, as if something was attracting it.

This phenomenon reminded Xia Chen of the Aroma City he had visited before, which ultimately proved that the divine tree was indeed related to Xerneas.

Perhaps this is why Dragon Island is Dragon Island?

Xia Chen guessed in his heart, but this time he couldn't guess any useful information.

After all, there are too many legendary dragon-type Pokémon in this world, and on this Dragon Island, which is not even under the jurisdiction of any region, it is even more difficult to guess anything.

After thinking about it, Xia Chen decided to give up.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with me. I just need to safely capture the fifth Pokémon and that's it.

Upon arriving at the royal family's territory, things were no longer as unobstructed as before.

Hovering in the sky, a Salamence, seemingly on guard duty, cautiously approached, as if questioning something.

Long Yue replied solemnly, "I'm here to take Princess Hakuryu back. This is Milotic's trainer, the father of Hakuryu's child. Please inform him of this."

Xia Chen twitched his lips; this way of introducing someone was truly unique.

However, the Flying Dragon clearly knew about this. He gave Xia Chen a deep look, then turned and flew down.

Xia Chen frowned slightly. He was certain that the look in Bao Feilong's eyes just now contained no goodwill whatsoever.

Tsk, are live-in sons-in-law really that unpopular?

…………

Not long after, the Salamence that had been there earlier flew back. It nodded at Long Yue and let out a low growl.
