Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

The one who said this was not Yan Yu, who hadn't been to sea many times, but Kane, who had just walked over.

"Would you two like to enjoy the sea view a little longer, or would you like to go have breakfast now?"

Xia Shen glanced at the Moonbear and Garchomp beside him, who were staring longingly at him, and said helplessly, "Let's go eat first."

Yan Yu summoned back the few elves swimming in the sea and flying in the sky, and the three of them took the elves to the research institute's cafeteria for lunch.

The cafeteria was crowded, so to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Xia Shen took Yueyue Bear back first and planned to feed her separately after returning to her residence.

After breakfast, Kane took Xia Shen and Yan Yu on a tour of the research institute.

……

The research institute next to the secret realm has existed for more than ten years. Construction began after the British secret realm appeared, and it was already operational in less than a year.

The institute's primary function is the comprehensive research and exploration of the secret realm, including its natural landscape, elves, and other creatures.

Like other secret research institutes, the staff are divided into two types: civilian researchers and combat investigators.

Old Kane and Young Kane are the representatives of the two.

But this does not mean that the two are not interconnected.

At this moment, Kane was showing Xia Shen and Yan Yu around the fossil research department of the institute, talking animatedly.

"More than a decade ago, my father resurrected two fossil spirits unique to the British Secret Realm here: the Gilling Sea Beast and the Thunderbird Sea Beast. Due to the scarcity of fossils, there are currently fewer than five remaining in the world."

Xia Shen suddenly asked, "How many kinds of fossils did you find?"

Information about the fossil elves of the British Secret Realm is relatively limited; Xia Shen had only heard of them before and didn't know much about them.

After arriving at the research institute, I discovered that it seems to be slightly different from the game...

Kane smiled and explained, "So far, three types of fossils have been discovered: fossil birds, fossil fish, and fossil marine mammals."

"In the first few years, the research went relatively smoothly. By combining fossil marine mammals with fossil fish and fossil birds, we were able to resurrect the gillfish marine mammal and the thunderbird marine mammal."

"Later, no matter how we tried, the fossil fish and the fossil bird seemed to be too incompatible and could not be combined at all. Our fossil research department is still exploring this to this day."

Because fossil resurrection is not a new technology; at least China has mastered and resurrected fossil creatures such as pterosaurs.

So Kane didn't hide anything and told them about the current predicament their fossil research department was facing.

Xia Shen's heart skipped a beat. So, the fossil of the fossil dragon hadn't been unearthed yet...?

So, neither the fossil fish and the fossil dragon resurrected into the ichthyosaur, nor the fossil bird and the fossil dragon resurrected into the thunderbird, have been discovered.

……

There are four types of fossil Pokémon in Galar in the game. In addition to the two mentioned by Kane, there are also Dracovish and Thunderbird.

It can be said that these two Pokémon are the most valuable among the four fossil Pokémon.

Especially the ichthyosaur, although it is ugly, it really bites hard!

It shares a unique skill with the Gilling Sea Beast: [Gill Bite: A water-type physical move with a power of 85 in the game. If it's used first, the move's power is doubled!]

What kind of outrageous damage is this?

With a base damage of 170, plus the power boost from its STAB moves, and if Dracovish's ability is [Strong Jaw: Bite-type moves are increased by 50%]...

Saying that they can take one child at a time is not an exaggeration at all!

The Pokédex describes this creature as having "extraordinary leg and jaw strength that made it invincible in ancient times. But its ability to hunt its prey to the point of extinction led to its own demise."

You'll then understand the terror of the ichthyosaur!

How come such a handsome hatchling hasn't appeared yet?

Xia Shen felt a surge of excitement.

But reason quickly told him that he could find a fossilized dragon in just a few days, even though such a large research institute had been exploring the secret realm for more than ten years without success.

However, no matter what, if he had the chance to enter the secret realm, finding the fossil dragon would definitely be Xia Shen's top priority.

Keeping this to himself, Xia Shen continued to visit the Secret Realm Research Institute with Kane.

……

The research institute was so large that it took the three of them a whole morning to see almost everything.

Lunch was again eaten in the cafeteria, consisting of things that could fill my stomach but were only fit to be called food.

Even Garchomp, who is never picky about food, has been eating much less these past two days, not to mention Zoroa and Gooboo.

Seeing him staring at her longingly, Xia Shen could only comfort him and say she would give him some more food when they got back.

The Arceus phone has the ability to freeze time, and Xia Shen always keeps a lot of fresh ingredients and kitchen utensils on hand.

I'll ask Kane later if we can light a fire at the visitor's residence. It's not like being in the mountains at sea, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

After obtaining permission, Xia Shen and Yan Yu were having a barbecue with the elves in the open space outside their residence.

A loud cry came from afar.

Looking into the distance, a fossil pterosaur and a Pidgeot are flying towards you. Upon closer inspection, you can see that each of the two creatures is carrying a person on its back.

Yan Yan and his father-in-law returned.

------

Perhaps it was the rising smoke that attracted the attention of the fossil pterosaur, for the large, purplish-gray bird slowed down and gently landed in the open space next to the two people.

Pidgey followed closely behind, carrying the somewhat disheveled girl to a smooth landing.

The father and daughter, weary from their journey, dismounted from the elf's back.

Yan Jing was alright, but Yan Yan looked extremely tired.

The two looked extremely surprised when they saw Xia Shen grilling meat.

The difference was that Yan Yan was surprised and delighted, while Yan Jing, besides being surprised, also had a hint of worry in his eyes.

Xia Shen keenly noticed his somewhat unusual expression and couldn't help but wonder, what was there to worry about?

Keeping her thoughts to herself, Xia Shen smiled and greeted the two who had just returned, "Yu-jie and I are having a barbecue, would you like to come and have some?"

Without any hesitation, the two threw out their Pokémon and surrounded them.

Although their relationship was semi-established, Yan Yan was still a little reserved in front of her father and sister. With a slightly flushed face, she deliberately sat down next to her sister.

So Yan Jing naturally sat down next to Xia Shen.

Xia Shen remained calm and steady, taking out more food from the storage ball.

Two more people are a minor issue, but with seven or eight more Pokémon, the food we prepared earlier is clearly insufficient.

They methodically placed the ingredients on the grill and in the pot, and the four of them chatted while waiting for the food to cook.

……

"What are you two doing here?" Yan Jing asked casually, his tone seemingly carrying a deeper meaning.

Yan Yu replied, "Mainly, we need to lay low for a while. Dad, you don't know, Xia Shen is a big star now."

Yan Jing was puzzled. "A champion from the qualifying rounds has this much influence now?"

Yan Yu turned her head and gestured towards Xia Shen with her lips, indicating that it was time for him to reveal the surprise.

Then, with a flash of red light, Red Bean Bear made a dazzling appearance.

## Chapter 123 Initial Planning for the Moon Bear Breeding Base!

Yan Jing gradually recovered from the shock brought by Yueyue Bear. He looked at the press conference video on the phone that Yan Yu handed him and fell into deep thought.

"Rio..." Riolu rode on Umbreon's back, seemingly chatting with her.

A few months ago, they were two tiny girls of similar height, but now, these best friends have already evolved twice...

The blue-black puppy gently shook the comfort bell tied around its neck, and couldn't help but start to imagine what it would look like after it evolved.

Yan Yan had moved to sit on the other side of Xia Shen at some point, listening to him talk about the events of the breakout competition.

She would occasionally look up at the handsome profile of the young man, her eyes sparkling with a mixture of admiration and longing.

Seeing the food on the grill and in the pot gradually cooking and emitting an enticing aroma, Xia Shen quickly called Garchomp and Moonbear, who had been eyeing the food for a long time, to eat.

Father Yan ladled out a bowl of meat soup and handed it to Yan Yan, then asked, "What are your thoughts on the Moon Bear for the future?"

Xia Shen understood that what he was asking was definitely not how to raise his own Moon Bear, but rather... how to promote the evolution of Moon Bears.

Xia Shen pondered for a moment and replied, "My current idea is to find a place that can recreate the ancient East Sea Secret Realm and the living environment of the Moon Bears to establish a breeding base. Uncle Yan, you will help me, right?"

Xia Shen certainly didn't have the idea of ​​monopolizing the Moon Bear, because it wasn't in his interest and it wouldn't make any sense.

On a larger scale, integrating the Moonbear clan into the real world would enrich the diversity of elves in that world.

Therefore, Xia Shen confessed his ambition to Yan's father.

He knew that he might be able to do this by himself, but that would undoubtedly have to be after he became a master, or even a superstar... Moreover, if he went it alone, he would inevitably attract envy.

With a large tree right next to him, Xia Shen naturally had no reason to go to great lengths instead of seeking something closer.

Xia Shen said he was seeking help, but even a fool knows... it's really hard to say who's helping whom.

Xia Shen's knowledge of breeding Moon Bears is unique and indispensable, while the resources that Yan's father possesses... are not uncommon in this world.

Yan Jing understood what he meant, gave Xia Shen a deep look, and served him a bowl of soup.

"Since you're willing to trust me, I'll give you some advice. Most importantly, there must be official involvement."

Xia Shen nodded knowingly; he knew this even without Yan's father saying it.

At its simplest, the law stipulates that trading elves is a serious illegal act, with penalties almost equivalent to slaughtering elves.

But don't places like breeding bases or breeding houses count as Pokémon trading?

It's a simple truth that anyone can understand with a little thought: if you have official permission, you are legal.

No?

Sorry, you'll be going to jail!

Only when the Chinese Trainers Association gets a piece of this cake can everyone else eat with peace of mind.
