I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

"Stab!"

Just as the precognitive attack was about to hit Emperor Yan, a bolt of lightning suddenly erupted from the ground and struck the precognitive psychic energy ball with lightning speed.

"boom!"

A violent explosion.

"What?!" Master Yu was taken aback, and the onlookers were also shocked.

"Where did this attack come from?" Master Yu quickly looked over and saw a golden elf that looked like a tiger suddenly appear there.

"This is... Thunder God?" Master Yu's pupils suddenly contracted.

After the appearance of Entei, the association compared the photos and, although they did not know whether this Entei was one of the Three Holy Beasts, they also collected information about the Three Holy Beasts. Therefore, she recognized the identity of this elf at a glance.

"Hmph! You're too slow!" Emperor Yan snorted as he looked at Lei Gong, who had transformed into lightning and appeared beside him.

"Heh, if I hadn't intervened, you probably would have crashed and burned, right?" Lei Gong sneered.

"Tch, how could that be?" Emperor Yan's expression stiffened, but he stubbornly retorted.

"Heh..." Lei Gong continued to sneer.

"Alright, you two, stop arguing." A gentle voice rang out.

A gentle breeze suddenly swept by, and a blue figure flashed by—it was none other than the last of the three legendary beasts, Suicune.

"Is it all done?" Emperor Yan asked.

"It took some effort, but we finally got it done. Ho-Oh will be out soon," Suicune replied, turning to look around. "These are the humans you attracted? That's quite a few."

Lei Gong also looked at Yan Di, his face full of mockery.

Emperor Yan looked embarrassed, turned his face away, and gave a soft "hmm".

"Laughable." Lei Gong immediately began to mock.

Emperor Yan argued with the Thunder God without backing down.

"The three sacred beasts actually appeared together?" Gu Yangzhou's eyes widened, a mixture of excitement and confusion.

"Poof!" Master Jing's Dragonite suddenly cried out.

"What's wrong, Dragonite?" Master Jing looked at Dragonite in confusion, and the others also looked over.

Before Dragonite could say anything, Master Yu had already retreated with a solemn expression.

"President, I sense something is wrong. Please have everyone leave immediately!"

"What's wrong?" Gu Yangzhou frowned.

"I sensed an extremely powerful energy suddenly appearing beneath the wetlands. This energy is many times stronger than the three sacred beasts combined! Something is about to emerge!" Master Yu said, sweat already streaming down his face, clearly feeling immense pressure.

As a Psychic-type master, Master Yu is not only known for her main and ace Pokémon being Psychic-type, but also for her own powerful mental strength, which is comparable to that of a Psychic-type Pokémon.

Her powerful mental strength granted her extraordinary sensory abilities.

At this moment, she sensed a huge amount of energy appearing out of nowhere beneath the wetlands. This energy terrified her; she hadn't felt this much pressure when she fought Emperor Yan just now.

Gu Yangzhou dared not be careless and quickly led the four master trainers away. At the same time, he notified his subordinates to leave with their men via communicator. Although the three legendary beasts were important, in his eyes, they were not as important as the thousand advanced trainers from China.

As long as the three legendary beasts are still on Earth, there is a chance to capture them.

However, if one's hesitation and greed lead to any accidents involving a thousand trainers, it would be a loss that no one can bear.

"Master, we..." Seeing the Chinese people leave so decisively, the Russian master trainer couldn't help but look at Andrei.

Andre frowned, glanced at the three Holy Beasts gathered together, hesitated for a moment, and then gave the order to retreat.

Although the three legendary beasts were a huge temptation, he knew very well that the three Russian master trainers alone were not enough to subdue them. Having fought with Gu Yangzhou for most of his life, he also knew that Gu Yangzhou was not the kind of person who would give up easily.

The fact that he left so decisively means something big is about to happen.

Chapter 231 A Sudden Change Occurs, Trapped in a Sea of ​​Fire

"Captain, why have they all left?" In a thicket in the wetland, several men dressed in black were crouching, crouching low and peeking out furtively.

One of them noticed that the Chinese and Russian trainers were beginning to retreat rapidly and asked the leader in confusion.

The person leading the group was Park Ji-hoon.

Park Ji-hoon was once banned for life for his bad behavior in an exchange match with the Imperial University team.

However, Country H felt it was a waste to keep such a high-level trainer hidden away, so they had him join a special team under an assumed name, specifically to do some shady things in secret.

Park Ji-hoon knew he could no longer appear in public, so he gritted his teeth and risked his life to complete missions in the special squad, eventually earning the position of squad leader.

This time, they were sent here to gather intelligence after receiving news of the appearance of the Flame Emperor, but they did not expect to encounter the three sacred beasts appearing together.

Park Ji-hoon shook his head, leaned out and observed through binoculars: "But the Three Holy Beasts are still there. Although I don't know why they left, I have to say this is a very good opportunity."

"But..." The man who asked the question hesitated a bit. He had a feeling that something was wrong. "The trainers from China and Russia are not catching the three legendary beasts. I suspect there is some conspiracy involved."

"Damn it!" Park Ji-hoon slapped the man on the head, sending him sprawling into the wetlands. "Are you leading the team or am I? Obey my orders!"

Park Ji-hoon's life in the special squad can only be described as hell. His family is afraid to contact him due to various pressures, and being forced to abandon his name and live a life that cannot be seen in the light of day has already changed his mentality. To put it simply, he is now a bit of a psychopath.

The original order from above was only to have him lead a team to gather intelligence, not to capture the Three Holy Beasts.

But Park Ji-hoon was preoccupied with capturing the three sacred beasts, using the immense achievement to restore his identity and name, and then reaching the pinnacle of life, winning a beautiful future with a rich and beautiful woman. He had long forgotten his orders.

They even overlooked the enormous gap between themselves, a mere advanced trainer, and the three legendary beasts, a gap as vast as heaven and earth.

"Let's go!" Park Ji-hoon reached out and grabbed his Poké Ball, bent down and reached forward, and with the help of his special equipment, he was able to move steadily forward on the wetland.

The remaining members of the team looked at each other, seeing the reluctance in each other's eyes. But their captain was Park Ji-hoon, and they had to obey his orders. Otherwise, they would disappear from the world within a day after returning home. In the end, they could only follow him with their inner fear.

Like Park Ji-hoon, these people abandoned their identities and fled into darkness because of various crimes they committed.

Here in China.

Under Gu Yangzhou's command, the trainers retreated in an orderly manner.

"President, what exactly is under the wetlands..." Ye Feng followed Gu Yangzhou. Having awakened his superpowers, his mental strength was also extraordinary. Although he couldn't compare to Master Yu, he could still perceive the situation under the wetlands without any problem.

"It's not certain yet, but it's highly likely that the Phoenix King is about to be born," Gu Yangzhou said with a solemn expression.

"Phoenix King?" Ye Feng's pupils contracted slightly.

The fact that Ho-Oh is located beneath the wetlands is somewhat surprising, but not entirely unexpected.

Emperor Yan did not retreat despite being surrounded by so many humans, clearly for the sake of some being in the wetlands.

Adding to the later appearance of Raikou and Suicune, and considering their identities as Ho-Oh's guards, the answer to their existence becomes obvious—Ho-Oh.

but···

Ye Feng felt a little confused.

According to Xerneas, the mythical beasts must have exhausted a great deal of power protecting the creatures on Earth from the meteorites that were falling on it, and then retreated to a secret realm to recuperate.

The secret realm was created by the combined efforts of the divine beasts. As the power of the divine beasts recovers and time passes, the secret realm will slowly re-integrate with reality.

The process was slow and steady. Although it caused some chaos when it first arrived, the presence of divine beasts in the secret realm meant that they could control it completely—Yveltal was an exception.

Other secret realms are manageable for humans, as the elves within are at most master-level, and humans can handle them even at a cost.

If that's the case, then why...?

Judging from the appearance of Emperor Yan, and the subsequent appearance of Raikou and Suijun, it can be inferred that the Phoenix King's secret realm did not descend normally, but was opened by Raikou and Suijun working together.

Could it be that... over the long years, some unknown changes occurred in the secret realm, changes that even the divine beasts could not have foreseen?

"gone!"

While Ye Feng was pondering, the retreat proceeded in an orderly manner, and soon only Gu Yangzhou and his grandson, four master-level trainers, Ye Feng, and a few guards remained.

"Hmm!" Ye Feng came back to his senses and saw that Gu Yangzhou and the others had already walked some distance. He quickly followed, looking back as he walked. The three sacred beasts had disappeared and he didn't know where they had gone.

Unseen by Ye Feng, a gaze filled with hatred was fixed on him.

Ye Feng was in a hurry to leave and didn't notice anything amiss.

"boom!"

Before Ye Feng could run a few steps, a loud bang was heard, and the entire wetland suddenly began to shake violently. Huge, bottomless cracks spread rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the entire wetland was shattered into smaller wetlands.

"Oh no!" Gu Yangzhou turned around and his expression changed. He found that Ye Feng, who was lagging behind, was blocked by a huge crack.

"Old Jing!" Gu Yangzhou called out anxiously.

Master Jing nodded and stopped Gu Ruyun, who was about to release Garchomp: "Leave it to me." He raised his hand to throw out the Dragonite's Poké Ball.

"It's okay, I can go over there, you guys go first!" Ye Feng shouted, releasing Togekiss at top speed and then jumping onto Togekiss's back.

Even if Dragonite flies over and comes back, it can't catch up with Togekiss flying directly over. Master Jing thought for a moment and then put down the Poké Ball.

"President, let's get out of here quickly!"

"boom!"

Another loud bang was heard, and then scorching purple flames suddenly spewed out from the crack, shooting into the sky and instantly separating heaven and earth.

"Keepes!" Togekiss, which was flying at full speed, was startled and made a sharp turn, almost grazing the edge of the purple flames.

The purple flames were extremely hot, and the water in the wetlands evaporated completely in the blink of an eye.
