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

"Okay." Palkia nodded.

Ye Feng tightened his grip on the Punishment Pot and followed Dream into the temple.

"here it is···"

Upon entering the temple, there was a long corridor that stretched out in the distance, seemingly endless. Ye Feng looked around for a while but did not find any other rooms.

It seems that this temple is merely an entrance to a passageway.

Countless murals are painted on the walls on both sides of the passage.

Ye Feng stepped forward to observe.

Due to its age, the murals are no longer very clear, but we can roughly guess that they record a piece of history or a legend.

Unfortunately, Ye Feng had no knowledge of Pokémon history, so he couldn't decipher the content. However, he could guess that the legend was about a particular Pokémon.

The mural depicting this elf's image has been eroded by time and is no longer recognizable. It can only be discerned from the remaining fragments that the elf's appearance is somewhat similar to that of a bat.

"Dream, can you see anything?" Ye Feng turned to Dream, who was also observing the mural, and asked.

Meng Huan turned to look at Ye Feng, her two big eyes filled with confusion.

Okay, forget I asked. Ye Feng then looked at Palkia.

But Palkia went even further, refusing to even look at the murals.

"Let's keep going." Ye Feng sighed. It seemed that with their illiteracy, they wouldn't be able to extract any useful information from the murals. They could only explore deeper into the murals.

Chapter 396 Mysterious Elf

The passageway was dimly lit, with only the ceiling, made of some unknown material, emitting a faint glow that was barely enough to make out the path.

Ye Feng was accompanied by Gardevoir and Togekiss, releasing their psychic and aura powers while keeping watch on their surroundings.

After Gardevoir reached Master level, its psychic perception range and intensity were not much weaker than Togekiss's.

With both elves on guard at the same time, there is almost no chance of being ambushed.

Moreover, Palkia was following Ye Feng.

They encountered no danger along the way—no elves, no traps, no obstacles, nothing happened.

"Keith..."

"Shanai..."

As they walked, Togekiss and Gardevoir stopped at the same time and called out to Ye Feng.

"What? Is something blocking the waveguide and telekinesis?" Ye Feng looked ahead in confusion.

Gardevoir and Togekiss, who had been sensing their surroundings, suddenly found that their psychic powers and aura were blocked by something unknown, preventing them from moving forward even a fraction of an inch.

Gardevoir stated that this thing bears some resemblance to the residual energy in Hoopa's sealed land.

"Is it some kind of seal?" Ye Feng wondered. Is something sealed here too?

Gardevoir nodded in agreement.

If it's sealed, then we need to be careful, as no one knows what's inside.

“We’ll find out when we get there,” Palkia said.

"It's better to be careful..." Ye Feng said cautiously.

The sealing technique cannot be judged by common sense. If you're not careful, even Palkia could stumble.

"It's alright." Palkia shook his head indifferently.

As a divine beast that controls space, even if it is sealed, it is confident that it can open a passage to escape... unless it is specifically targeted, but is that something that is easy to encounter?

Since Palkia has said so, Ye Feng has nothing to worry about.

It's good to have someone powerful to rely on.

So the group/elves continued forward.

Until they came to a set of steps.

Ye Feng looked up and saw that the steps went all the way up, not very high, and he could vaguely see that there seemed to be a huge platform at the top.

The two sides of the stairs were pitch black and the bottom was not visible. I had no idea how deep it was. If I fell down, I would probably be smashed to pieces.

There was nothing there except the stairs.

The group of people/elves exchanged glances and began climbing the stairs.

A large platform with unique groove-like patterns on the ground, though its purpose was not immediately apparent; in the middle of the platform, there was a staircase leading upwards.

"There's nothing here." Ye Feng looked around but didn't find anything except a staircase that continued upwards.

"It should be up there." Dream floated gently in mid-air.

There was nothing to discover on this platform, so we had to continue upwards.

"Wait a minute..." Before Ye Feng could even step onto the stairs, Palkia blocked his way. "Is anyone here before us?"

Ye Feng was startled and subconsciously looked at Gardevoir and Togekiss behind him.

The two elves looked at each other blankly, and just as they were about to shake their heads at Ye Feng, a powerful aura suddenly appeared above them.

"It's Hupa!" Ye Feng immediately guessed the identity of the visitor.

Hoopa's Summoning Ring not only summons Pokémon but also has the ability to travel through space. It's normal that Gardevoir and Togekiss didn't notice it because of this ability, but Palkia, who controls space, wouldn't be surprised if it could sense it.

"Hurry!" Palkia urged, taking the lead and flying upwards, with Mew following closely behind.

"Gardedoll!" Ye Feng shouted, hugging the Punishment Bottle tightly, and with the help of Gardevoir's psychic power, he quickly flew upwards.

"?!"

Upon reaching the final platform, two figures stood there, staring intently at an altar-like structure in the center of the platform.

Upon noticing Ye Feng and the others' arrival, Hoopa turned around and revealed an evil smile; Necrozma showed no reaction, still staring at the altar.

"What is that...?" Ye Feng squinted at the altar.

In the center of the altar lay a white elf, its appearance somewhat resembling a lion, curled up motionless.

"This..." Ye Feng and Mew exchanged a bewildered glance. Wasn't it supposed to be Necrozma's shattered body? How come it's an elf?

Is there any connection between this Pokémon and Necrozma?

Necrozma stared intently at the lion spirit, his eyes filled with both confusion and understanding.

Like Ye Feng, it had always believed that the one calling it was its lost body, but upon arriving here, it discovered that it wasn't; rather, it was...

An unknown voice came from Necrozma's mouth, and his mind began to fluctuate violently.

Upon noticing this mental fluctuation, Ye Feng realized he understood what Necrozma was saying: "Solgaleo...? Is that the name of that Pokémon? But..."

Although it wasn't her lost body, Necrozma knew very well that Solgaleo also possessed a power that could restore her; if she could absorb that power, finding her body again wouldn't have much of an impact.

Necrozma swayed and drifted toward Solgaleo.

"Stop!" Ye Feng shouted.

Although he didn't know what connection the Pokémon had with Necrozma, Ye Feng's instincts told him that he absolutely could not let Necrozma come into contact with the Pokémon.

Necrozma stopped, turned her head slightly, and gave Ye Feng a cold look.

Ye Feng clenched his fists, and Gardevoir and Togekiss also stepped forward, staring directly at Necrozma.

“@！￥#” Necrozma let out another low, unidentified growl.

Hupa chuckled and stepped between them.

“Sorry, I can’t let you get in its way.” Hoopa’s voice was filled with malice.

"You can try!" Palkia stepped forward to block Hoopa, tilting his head slightly towards Ye Feng and saying, "Leave Hoopa to me, you guys go stop it!"

"Alright! Gardevoir, Togekiss, let's go!" Ye Feng nodded, took out the Key Stone, and charged towards Necrozma.

The situation is urgent. Hoopa can be dealt with by Palkia first, and then captured with the Judgment Pot. The more important thing now is to stop Necrozma.

Just as Hoopa was about to stop it, a pink light blade flew towards it—Palkiria's Sub-Space Slash!

"Your opponent is me!" Palkia roared and lunged at Hoopa.

"Tch!" Hoopa clicked his tongue, dodging Palkia's attack, and turned to retaliate with a Dark Pulse.

"Heh! Your power seems to have weakened quite a bit?" Palkia easily dodged the attack and sneered.

Hupa remained silent.

The battle just now, coupled with the damage to the secret realm, meant that although it managed to escape temporarily using the scooping ring, it still suffered considerable damage. Its stamina was no longer at its peak, and it immediately felt immense pressure when facing Palkia, who was at full strength.

"Gardedoll, Ghost Ball! Togekiss, Aura Sphere!" Ye Feng shouted the commands.

Gardevoir quickly gathered a Ghost-type Spiral Ball, while Togekiss unleashed a Wave Missile towards Necrozma.

Necrozma's eyes flashed, and she clasped her hands together in front of her chest, unleashing a thick beam of light towards the two spheres.

"Boom!" A violent explosion.

Briefly halting Necrozma's advance, Ye Feng threw out Gyarados's Poké Ball, then grabbed the Key Stone from his chest.
