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

And, most importantly—

There wasn't a single Pokémon around him that was on guard or defending him!

In the blink of an eye, Miana's eyes gradually turned cold, and a sinister smile, like that of a venomous snake, appeared on her face.

That smile carried a hint of calculation, a touch of cruelty, a dash of hope, and an overwhelming sense of certainty.

Miana discreetly pulled out a Poké Ball from the shadows, a Poké Ball that even her subordinates were unaware of.

“Perfect, let my Weavile, which I just tamed a few days ago, attack him, and then use him as a hostage to demand that the Divine Continent Alliance release me.”

As a rare support-type special ability user, his importance to the Divine Continent Alliance is self-evident.

Who knows, I might even gain a special ability user whose looks would make my subordinates look eighteen times better than mine!

Thinking of this, Miana's tongue slid across her lips, and she whispered a command to the Poké Ball. Taking advantage of He Jie and Fang Tian's inattention, she threw it into the shadows.

In an instant, a dark gray afterimage suddenly appeared in the shadows of the chaotic battlefield, and while the Pokémon and border guards were locked in fierce battle, it charged toward Su Hao, who was slightly behind!

Mavira's gaze was as cold as that of an emotionless assassin, and the sharp claws in her hands gleamed in the snow, seemingly capable of piercing anything.

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

Magikarp and Goohoo, a historic meeting.

Chapter 411 Su Hao: Why did you ambush me?

One strike, just one strike!

Tamarina can instantly slash through a human's skin and then force him to go to Miana's side!

Of course, if it wanted to, it could easily slit the human's throat and kill him with a single blow.

The burst power of a professional-grade speed-type Pokémon can no longer be described as terrifying. Even the special forces soldiers or world champions from before Su Hao's transmigration could not easily catch a glimpse of Weavile with the naked eye.

Like a swift gust of wind, the Weavile rushed to Su Hao's side in the blink of an eye. Looking at the human's skin so close to hers, the corners of the Weavile's mouth curled up slightly.

Success!

Weavile slashed the tip of its right claw toward Su Hao's arm, intending to weaken him while he was too exhausted to release his Pokémon due to the pain.

A stench filled the air; how did Su Hao react?

"Hey, why did you ambush me?"

A cold voice suddenly rang out, and a look of surprise appeared on Mavira's cunning face.

Before it could react, a sudden, powerful force struck its arm, slamming it directly to the ground!

Then, a powerful, incredibly solid wave missile, compressed with a massive amount of waveguide energy, instantly struck Weavile's most vulnerable abdomen, and a brilliant blue burst of light bloomed.

Before losing consciousness, Mavira only remembered the excruciating pain in its lower abdomen that was enough to knock it unconscious, and a pair of bright golden eyes that were calmly watching it.

Meanwhile, Miana, who had been paying close attention to this situation, was thrown into chaos.

What did she see?

That boy, who should be a support-type special ability user, not only dodged Weavile's attack but also knocked her unconscious with a counterattack!?

"Son of a bitch!!" (Don't eat the pickled radish)

Despair quickly spread and rose across Miana's face.

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

"Iron gates, iron windows, iron chains~"

"Holding onto the iron bars of the window, looking outside~"

Su Hao rested his head on his hands, humming a song with schadenfreude as he looked at the group of poachers who were delighted to have received silver handcuffs.

With a look of utter defeat on her face, Miana suddenly stopped before being led past Su Hao. Ignoring the border guards' urging, she glared at Su Hao with a venomous look and said fiercely:

"You're very good. One day I will repay you for this grudge in full."

All her wealth and glory were shattered when this college student with special abilities caught her completely off guard.

How could she not hate it?

She then continued walking towards the snowfield base despite being warned and shoved.

Su Hao was completely bewildered. Why did this woman hold a grudge against him?

However, Su Hao was not intimidated by her remarks at all.

Regardless of whether this woman can beat him, what awaits her now is an international court case and a high probability of a lifetime in prison.

With a slight smirk and a hint of boredom, Su Hao swaggered toward the dilapidated temple ruins behind him.

The closer Su Hao got, the more he could feel how many years this temple had endured.

Putting aside its dilapidated state, Su Hao could imagine how sacred and beautiful this temple, now covered in dust and snow, must have been when it was first built.

"So similar...too similar."

Su Hao kept looking at the temple ruins in front of him, muttering to himself.

It looked exactly like the Crown Temple of the legendary Pokémon Calyrex, the king of the Crown Tundra in his memory.

Passing through the temple's main gate, whose doors had vanished, Su Hao gazed at the enormous, withered tree planted in the center of the unfinished temple, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Since there is indeed a temple in the Crown Snowfield, where did the Crown King and his beloved horses, Snowstorm and Spirit Horse, go?

If you leave here.

Judging from the dilapidated state of this temple, they probably haven't returned for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

However, there is a second possibility.

The legendary Pokémon Calyrex, like Ho-Oh and Xerneas, wields authority over matters related to life.

In the world of Pokémon, He was known as the King of Abundance by ancient humans, wielding the power of abundance.

His power of abundance has two effects.

One is to cure.

Healing wounds and even the soul—a simple and unadorned healing power.

Secondly, it is a blessing.

The power of grace can make plants sprout, dispel clouds, or stop snowstorms.

Thus, He possesses the special ability to draw power from faith.

In the original world view, the Rathalos once used its abundant power to help humanity survive in the harsh environment of the Crown Snowfield.

In return, people's faith was taken.

As time passed and countless years went by, the people of the Crown Snowfield forgot the existence of the Brilliant King, the power of their faith dissipated, and the Brilliant King was on the verge of death.

When Su Hao played Sword and Shield and got to this point, he could only sigh at a line that often appeared in many Western fantasy novels.

Faith is toxic.

Other legendary Pokémon all possess immense power, making them incredibly strong and unaffected by external forces.

Calyrex takes a more approachable route; with a large following and two mounts, it could potentially rank among the top legendary Pokémon in terms of strength.

If there are few, they will gradually weaken and eventually perish.

However, this is only Calyrex's experience in the Pokémon game world; what Su Hao's own world is like is still unknown.

Perhaps the Queen of the Rathalos simply moved, or perhaps she entered some secret realm.

"Brother Su Hao, what brings you here?"

Fang Tian's voice suddenly entered Su Hao's ears, waking him from his thoughts.

As his gaze slowly focused, Su Hao realized that he had somehow found himself standing under the withered giant tree in the center of the temple ruins.

"Ah... I was just thinking about something. How's your investigation going?" Su Hao responded to Fang Tian's question.

Fang Tian shook his head, looking disappointed: "We only found traces of their habitation here, nothing else."

Su Hao didn't know how to comfort him. As Froslass's trainer, Fang Tian must want to gather enough evidence to put the poachers in jail.

"Fortunately, they were quite vigilant this time, staying here for five days before preparing to take action today."

"Without your help, they might not only have been able to leave before we arrived, but they would also have poached wild Pokémon in the area again."

"Thank you."

Fang Tian forced a smile that wasn't particularly attractive but was full of sincerity, and bowed slightly to Su Hao.

Su Hao didn't stop him. After all, this was Fang Tian and Xue Yaonu's way of expressing their gratitude after five years of perseverance. If he refused, it would be like trampling on their feelings.

Just then, the light snow that had been falling all day gradually stopped.

A ray of sunlight, piercing through the dissipating snow clouds, fell upon the ruins of the dilapidated temple, evoking complex and indescribable emotions.

It was as if something had happened here before.

As Fang Tian turned to leave.

On a withered ancient tree in the corner of Su Hao's line of sight, a long black and white cloth gleaming in the sunlight caught his attention.

"Wait a moment."

Su Hao stopped Fang Tian and, under his questioning gaze, pointed to the withered ancient tree and asked, "When was that long cloth tied to the trunk?"

Fang Tian stopped turning to the side, looked in the direction Su Hao was pointing, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"What cloth are you talking about? There's only that bare tree there!"

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

Mewtwo.

Chapter 412 Restraints and Reins

Fang Tian was absolutely not lying.

Su Hao can discern the other party's general emotions through their waveguide.
