Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Yesterday, after learning that Minister Lila had entered the Ultimate Cave without permission, Deputy Minister Xia Yan scolded her.

Okay.

Now, Vice Minister Xia Yan has gone even further, rushing in even after the Ultimate Cave was closed.

Doesn't he know that ordinary humans cannot withstand the baptism of ultimate energy within the Ultimate Cave?

At best, it causes amnesia and coma; at worst, it causes the victim to be directly crushed by energy and die.

Lila, on the other hand, had been inside once before, so she had some resistance.

Where is Xia Yan?

"Nonsense! This brat!"

Lila dragged her exhausted body out of the tent.

Just then, the Ultimate Hole slowly closed.

Hearing these vaguely familiar words, the handsome man standing not far from the tent, wary of wild elves, had a strange expression.

Just yesterday, he heard Xia Yan say that Lila was "acting up".

The handsome man looked at Lila, whose face was pale and flushed with anger, and opened his mouth as if to say something to comfort her.

But Lila said, "Never mind."

"Forget it?"

The handsome man's words caught in his throat, and his expression immediately changed after a glare.

Lila glanced at him sideways.

"What else can we do if we just give up? Do you have a way to stop him?"

"But... ultimate energy..."

Lila waved her hand.

"Do you think he doesn't know about the threat of ultimate energy? He gave me a long lecture yesterday, and he didn't stop talking about ultimate energy in just three sentences."

After a brief pause, he continued:

"Don't worry, didn't he say before that he's a Uranus now? There's no need to worry too much; he knows what he's doing. He's probably discovered some information. Just keep an eye out for him when the Ultimate Void opens next time."

The handsome guy watched Lila stretch and walk back to the tent.

He wiped his forehead.

He finally understood why he hadn't been promoted for so long.

Good guy.

Is this how ministers and deputy ministers operate?

...

...

The ultimate energy particles from the Ultimate Hole are, of course, threatening to ordinary people.

Even humans living in the Ultimate Metropolis need to wear equipment to pass through the Ultra Cave.

But those are ordinary people.

For Xia Yan, who has superpowers, the threat is actually not that great.

Even if all else fails, he still has Little Nebula.

Whether Nebula is an Ultra Beast or a Spirit is really hard to say.

However, it is certain that the ultimate energy particles inside the Ultimate Hole will not only not harm the small nebula, but will even have many benefits.

Of course.

Ultimate energy particles pose no threat to a spirit like Latios.

After entering the Ultimate Hole, Xia Yan activated his psychic field.

It turns out.

Ultimate energy particles cannot penetrate his superpower barrier.

This relieved Xia Yan, who was finally able to relax and look around.

at this time.

He was in a special passage that seemed to stretch endlessly, leading to unknown directions both in front and behind.

The passageway was surrounded by a special, seven-colored energy halo.

The ultimate grotto that leads to the world of spirits is actually a gap that has been opened in this passage.

"Gugu~~"

After entering the Ultimate Cave, the little Nebula who had been nestled in Xia Yan's arms eating energy cubes became active again.

She looked very happy and floated around Xia Yan.

"Os?"

Latios asked.

Xia Yan shook his head.

"I don't know where that four-jawed needle dragon went either."

Then he looked at the little nebula.

"But Cosmog, you can sense where those Ultra Beasts went, right?"

"Gu Gu?"

Cosmogu tilted his head and blinked his eyes.

Xia Yan helplessly rubbed the little guy.

Take it, like a nebula of mist, and knead, flatten, and squeeze it into any shape you like.

"You little rascal, you've been corrupted by Tokis and the others."

Cosmogu, having escaped Xia Yan's "clutches," immediately puffed out his cheeks.

"Gu... cough cough..."

I was just about to say something.

Xia Yan then stuffed his mouth with an energy cube.

Upon tasting the delicious food, Cosmogu's expression changed quickly; his eyes immediately curved into a smile.

Then, without saying a word, it landed on Latios's head.

The nebula materialized into a palm, pointing out into the distance.

"antiquity!"

Rush!

Latios had no doubts.

It carried Xia Yan and Little Nebula.

Immediately, they sped off in the direction it indicated.

I don't know how long we flew.

Inside the Ultimate Cave, time seems to have no concept.

However, inside the Ultimate Cave, in addition to the threat posed by the ultimate energy particles, there are also streams of substantial ultimate energy that appear to be clustered together.

Even Latios had to dodge at that level of energy.

Besides.

Along the way, Xia Yan also saw many openings in the passages, leading to completely unknown places.

Through these gaps, you can see...

Some of them are a deep blue, as if the whole world is filled with seawater.

In other places, there is dense and complex vegetation of unknown species, resembling a primeval forest.

Even worse, on the other side of the gap was a space filled with golden lightning, with countless fine and terrifying bolts falling relentlessly and without any discernible pattern.

but.

Although Cosmog was full of curiosity about these places, he did not allow Xia Yan and Latios to go in.

It was just a fleeting moment.

until.

Cosmogu finally cheered when a gap filled with a dazzling, warm glow appeared before him.

"Gugu—"

He gestured to Xia Yan and Latios, indicating that this was the place.

"Os?"

Latios stopped in front of the gap and looked back at Xia Yan on his back.

"Go in."

Since Xia Yan trusted Cosmog's judgment, he had no doubt that it might be playing a prank.

"Gugu~~"

Cosmogu cried out and rushed back into Xia Yan's arms.

As Latios carried Xia Yan through the gap...

A completely new world, unlike anything they had ever seen before, was presented to Xia Yan and Latios.

The first thing that comes into view is a small alley.

The alleyway is made up of prisms that resemble ice crystals, with a surface that is jet black but exceptionally smooth like a mirror, reflecting your image perfectly as you walk through it.
