Even Sinnoh champions have to work hard.

"What's up, you old geezer!" Rayquaza took over the call, of course putting it on speakerphone. Talking while answering is a basic operation in gaming, but it's easy to make mistakes if you get distracted.

Then came D'Amaranchi's aged voice, with an unconcealable weariness, probably the kind of weariness you feel when your parents call and find you playing games instead of studying.

"Your Highness Rayquaza, are you still playing?"

"Of course!"

"If you could, I really hope you don't say such things with such pride." Damaranchi on the other end shook his head, marveling at the terrifying nature of this phrase (I don't know why this word was warned about, it certainly shouldn't have been published).

"So what's wrong with you, you old geezer? Just say it already!" Rayquaza tapped rapidly, his words tinged with impatience, much like how you would talk to your parents.

"What can this old codger like me say? Perhaps Your Highness will soon have no time to play games."

"Clam?"

"It means exactly what it says. You may not have time to have so much fun anymore." Damaranchi's voice startled Rayquaza, probably because it hadn't considered why the other party would say that.

"What? What happened?" Rayquaza wasn't stupid, of course it knew something must have happened, and it was definitely not a problem that could be easily solved. If it were an easy problem, the other party wouldn't have come looking for it.

"This is a long story, but let me make it short..."

Damaranchi's words lingered in Rayquaza's ears, and Rayquaza's expression gradually became more and more interesting. This was really too exciting... It hadn't been that long, and Bai Mo had already encountered such an exciting thing?

But I guess I can't just leave it alone. I'll have to go there first and save the boss for when I get back. I also need to go and call that guy who's still holed up underground.

As Rayquaza pondered this, a majestic dragon body burst forth from the Sky Tower!

PS: A quick shout-out to the new chapter by Brother Yuexia.

I, Shiyu, am refined and easygoing.

Spring break is halfway over, and April starts tomorrow. The morning air is no longer cold.

The cherry blossoms along the road fluttered in the air, making people feel especially warm.

Pushed from behind by that perfectly timed wind, the wheels accelerated rapidly down the steep slope...

Suddenly, a white unidentified flying object blocked Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes.

Behind me was a girl's melodious voice.

"Um... my hat... could you please give it back to me?"

"Get the hell out of my way!"

Chapter 160 Tianguan Mountain

Mt. Coronet is the highest mountain in Sinnoh, running through the entire Sinnoh region and dividing it into east and west sides. This mountain, which runs through the entire Sinnoh region, holds an exceptionally special position in the region.

Of course, it is also the largest gathering place of wild Pokémon in the Sinnoh region. Due to its vast area, its scale even far exceeds that of Viridian Forest in the Kanto region.

Similarly, the danger level is much higher. After the renovation, the outer area of ​​Viridian Forest is very safe. It's not a big deal for young trainers to play around in the outer area. Of course, for trainers of Kazama Shirai's level, this level of danger is almost non-existent.

Therefore, the vast and complex Tianguan Mountains are indeed an excellent hiding place.

Of course, the most important reason is that the reverse thinking determines that going against the grain is the safest approach.

Of course, it's not without side effects.

The biggest problem is that after leaving human society, Kazama Shiramo and the others lost contact.

The summit of Mt. Crown is a snow-capped mountain covered in snow all year round. More importantly, there is a special magnetic field at the summit. The electromagnetic waves here can evolve Nosepass and Magneton into Proboscis and Magneton respectively. In a sense, it is a very valuable resource, but...

Another problem is that the special magnetic field here also blocked the communication signals between Kazama Shirasumi and Cynthia.

In a place as deep as Mount Tianguan, the communicator signal is already quite weak. Coupled with the magnetic field, this has caused Kazama Shiramo and Cynthia's communicators to completely malfunction. In other words, Kazama Shiramo and Cynthia have lost contact with the Pokémon League and are lost in the deep mountains and forests along with Kyogre.

Of course, it would be very easy for them to leave. With the help of flying Pokémon, they could easily cross Mt. Coronet and return to the big cities of humans. Even Kyogre, which looks like a bighead carp, is actually a flying Pokémon, after all, it is not a weak Pokémon like Groudon.

However, they dare not leave now that they are hiding in the Tianguan Mountains, since the entire Divine Artifact Region is under Arceus's control. Therefore, Kazama Shiramo and the others have been forced to live a difficult life in isolation from the world.

They probably lived a life similar to that of primitive humans.

Necessary food could only be obtained through foraging in the wild, and for rest, they built small wooden huts and laid out straw, which were barely enough to sleep in.

Fortunately, both of their Pokémon were extremely powerful, easily securing a place even in the heart of Mt. Coronet, just like Flygon who went to Viridian Forest back then, easily becoming the dominant Pokémon in the entire Viridian Forest.

However, for Kazama Shiramo and Cynthia, the troublesome thing is still taking a bath. Although the physical fitness of all humans in the Pokémon world is much higher than that of Earthlings, it does not mean that they like cold baths. Collecting clean water every day and using Flamethrower to heat it is a very tedious task, and controlling the water temperature is also quite troublesome.

"Senior, how much longer are we going to have to stay here?" Cynthia sat on a tree, wrapped in a simple garment made of leaves, which gave her a strangely sexy look, full of exotic, primitive charm. After all, her clothes needed to be washed after so many days here. Garchomp was currently drying Cynthia's clothes, and she could only use the simple leaf garment to cover herself. Fortunately, only Kazama Shiramo was visible, so it wasn't a big problem.

"I'm not really sure either." Kazama Shiromo rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache. To be honest, he was very smart, but Kazama Shiromo was definitely not the strategist type.

Simply put, Kazama Shiramo is very quick-witted and can quickly come up with solutions to problems, but he doesn't plan for the next step.

It's like playing chess. Some people are naturally quick-witted and can see which move they can make right on the board. However, they don't plan or think about what to do next. In other words, they don't have the strategic ability of an experienced chess master who can think three steps ahead.

The most direct manifestation of this situation is that Kazama Shiramo can quickly figure out that the best way to escape is to flee to Mount Tenguan, but he has not considered what he can do next even if he escapes to Mount Tenguan and temporarily escapes Arceus's pursuit.

"Are we going to live here forever?" Cynthia frowned, looking very worried, but then, as if she understood something, her eyes suddenly brightened!

“Of course we can’t stay here forever.” Kazama Shiramo looked up at the sky, pondering the matter of Arceus: “We’re just hiding temporarily to avoid Arceus’s gaze. If we really have a chance to find a way to leave Sinnoh, we need to act immediately. To stop Arceus now, we need enough fighting power.”

“Actually, senior, you don’t need to be in such a hurry.” Cynthia smiled at Kazama Shiromo, her expression resembling that of a femme fatale. “After all, we still know nothing about Arceus’s purpose, and there is still a lot of information we need to know. Besides, sharpening the axe before chopping wood is not a bad choice. Isn’t it?”

"Huh? Really?" Kazama Shiramo looked at Cynthia suspiciously. Of course, Kazama Shiramo never thought that Cynthia would harm him, but this suggestion still seemed too strange: "The great battle is approaching, isn't it a bit too rushed to improve yourself at this time?"

After all, not everyone is like Ash, a protagonist with a strange aura whose training sessions are always odd, but whoever does receive such training will truly gain a lot.

“I think it’s necessary.” Cynthia touched Kazama Shiramo’s hand, her eyes filled with sincerity, revealing no trace of her true intentions. “No external force can compare to one’s own strength. Since there’s no way to escape this predicament for the time being, I think we should focus on becoming stronger.”

"That seems to make sense." Kazama Shiramo recalled a red figure in his mind, unaware that he had been tricked by Cynthia.

Chapter 161 Dad, I'm Here

"Where are you guys going?" Rie Kugimiya asked, looking at Mewtwo and Asuna. The group had logged into Sinnoh from Canal City. Originally, Rie Kugimiya had planned for the three of them to enjoy sunbathing on the beach in Canal City, but Mewtwo immediately said that he had something to do and had to leave, taking Asuna with him and planning to go on their own.

This made Rie Kugimiya feel a little like she was being excluded, and she started to cry.

"It's a trip back to my parents' home." Mewtwo smiled, trying its best not to make Rie Kugimiya feel distant. Looking at her miserable appearance, she felt as if she were committing a crime.

"Can't I really come along?" Rie Kugimiya looked at Mewtwo pitifully, her face saying, "I'm about to be abandoned by you."

"It really won't work. It's a secret family territory, and we really can't bring outsiders there." Mewtwo had been involved in human society for a while, so he was quite adept at using this kind of excuse.

"Okay." Rie blinked her big eyes, knowing she definitely couldn't go, and could only rub Asuna's cheeks with teary eyes.

Because she looked so heartbroken, Asuna did things she would never normally do. Her face was completely deformed under Rie Kugimiya's kneading, and was shaped into all sorts of strange shapes.

Asuna wanted to lash out. Just think, as the creator goddess, when had she ever suffered such humiliation? It was simply unimaginable. Who would dare to treat her like this? Even Kazama Shiromo had never rubbed her face like that.

But at this moment, she was just a weak, pitiful, and helpless little girl, so of course she couldn't lash out. She could only silently endure this humiliation. There was no other way; it wasn't her choice. She could only silently endure it.

Moreover, Rie Kugimiya is genuinely kind to Asuna in her daily life. Having lived for so long, Asuna can tell whether someone is sincere or not. This girl is indeed genuinely good to Asuna, which is why Asuna is willing to talk to Rie Kugimiya properly. If anyone else dared to treat Asuna like that, even if Asuna is currently in a disguised state, the other party would suffer a great loss.

——————————————————————————————————————

After saying goodbye to Rie Kugimiya, Mewtwo took Asuna's hand and walked to an unseen corner. After a flash of light in the corner, it was like a magical girl transforming.

Yuna-chan, weak, pitiful, helpless, and edible, has disappeared.

A girl with long white hair quietly stood in front of Mewtwo.

Asuna's white hair swayed gently in the breeze. Her eyes remained clear, but Mewtwo could clearly sense something.

The Asuna of today no longer has that aloof and superior feeling. Compared to the cold and arrogant creator goddess, the Asuna of today has a more down-to-earth quality in her eyes.

She's more like an unbelievably beautiful human woman than a creator god.

"Your Highness." Mewtwo bowed slightly. Now that Asuna had returned to her original form, she naturally deserved the respect due to her and could no longer be treated like a little girl.

"Xiao Meng, you're getting prettier and prettier."

Asuna's voice rang out, sounding rather obedient, which made Mewtwo secretly sigh in alarm.

Sure enough, when Mewtwo looked up, it saw Asuna's eyes, which seemed to want to swallow it whole. Asuna's throat even moved slightly, as if she was swallowing saliva. This made Mewtwo feel a little panicked. It had to be panicked, otherwise it felt like it was going to be swallowed up and not even leave any bone fragments.

"Your Highness, please have some self-respect!" Mewtwo's half-step back seemed completely serious. She was no longer the innocent child who was helplessly tormented by Asuna. She clearly knew that she still had many ways to resist.

"Hey hey hey." Asuna looked at Mewtwo, who had taken a half-step back and was looking wary, and felt that life was a bit boring, or rather, that life itself was a bit boring: "The current Mewtwo is really not cute anymore. The Mewtwo from back then was so much better, so soft and cuddly, so wonderful!"

"Your Highness, please have some self-respect!" Chao Meng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her refusal had worked. "Your Highness, what should we do next? What do we need to prepare?"

"Of course, we should hurry and go get Daddy, oh no, I mean, get Bai Mo back!" Asuna had called him Daddy so naturally over the years that she blurted it out again without thinking.

"How can you be so sure that Bai Mo is in their hands?"

"Think about it. We haven't been able to get in touch with Bai Mo's father. Although Kugimiya's mother... Kugimiya Rie is quite confident in Bai Mo's abilities and has no worries, we all know very well that Bai Mo has probably been kidnapped by that bitch, which is why we can't contact him."

“Well, Your Highness, I think it’s necessary to correct you.”

"what?"

"When you call someone a bitch, you're insulting yourself."

……

It has to be said that Mewtwo is really talented at sabotaging others, leaving Asuna completely at a loss for words.

"That's not important!" Asuna tapped Mewtwo on the head with a walnut-shaped hand gesture. This was a skill that Kazama Shiramo often used on her when she was still a child, and it has to be said that it really felt... amazing!

After tapping Mewtwo on the head, Asuna felt a surge of satisfaction. No wonder parents like to tap their children's heads this way; it gives you a strange sense of conquest that makes you feel genuinely good.

I want to have fun again next time.

"So what's the point, Your Highness?" Mewtwo rolled its eyes helplessly, feeling quite disgusted by the fact that someone only dared to show off in front of it, but it couldn't deny that Mewtwo was undoubtedly at the bottom of the food chain in the Kazama family right now, and no one could afford to offend it.

"The main point is, of course, that Bai Mo is waiting for us to rescue him. Let me rush into Zhuqing City, have ten thousand troops take the general's head from the middle, kill that imposter, rescue Bai Mo's father... rescue Bai Mo, and then go home to continue our peaceful life!"

Is it really that real?

"Of course!"

"I have a bad feeling about this," Mewtwo sighed, looking at the enthusiastic Asuna. He had a nagging feeling that this journey was going to be a disaster.

Asuna herself seemed completely oblivious to the situation: "Charge! Daddy Bai Mo, here I come!"

PS: My day is coming to an end.

Chapter 162 Desert Dragonfly

Kazama Shiramo didn't really understand the idea of ​​becoming stronger as suggested by Cynthia, since he hadn't seen any significant improvement in a long time.
