Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

It's no exaggeration to say that if people in the real world knew about this, they would fight tooth and nail for it!

Permanently increasing the power of Dragon-type moves, even by only 10%, can fetch hundreds of millions of dollars per microgram.

Because it doesn't take up a slot for carrying items!

In Xia Shen's hand was a dragon jade crystal the size of a fist!

……

Xia Shen and Reginald Lago are currently engaged in a chase.

Ahead, a giant black bird flapped its wings, unleashing a wave of malevolent energy that hurtled towards Reidorago, who was running on the ground.

This was not the real Moltres, but an imposter created by Zoroark.

Regidora was furious. He abandoned the Altaria in front of him and unleashed a Dragon Pulse towards Zoroark in response, but the Altaria, having anticipated this, easily dodged it.

Seeing that Reginald had "transferred his hatred," Xia Shen felt relieved and left the place, flying towards the direction of the divine tree.

There, the final link in the plan remains.

Chapter 131 A Triumphant Return and Fireside Chat!

Within the secret realm of Britain.

With a solemn expression, Yan Jing rode the fossil pterosaur at an extremely fast speed among the towering mountains.

His bloodshot eyes and haggard face clearly showed his extremely poor condition.

At this moment, his heart was filled with regret for his decision to allow his daughter to come to the secret realm.

But he knew that what was more important than regret was finding the missing Yan Yan and Xia Shen.

Yan Jing did not believe that the two had met with misfortune; he had great confidence in his Gengar.

Unless attacked by a legendary Pokémon, no Pokémon can get past Gengar and harm the person it is protecting.

Therefore, he has not stopped searching these days.

On the ground, the Rock Wolf and the Aluminum Steel Dragon were conducting a thorough search.

In the air, the fossil pterosaur and the three-headed dragon kept a close eye on the unusual things on the ground.

Even in the water, Yan Jing relentlessly had Gyarados search for them, causing the water to churn and churn.

However, this search lasted for seven days from the day Yan Jing learned the news, and still yielded no results.

……

"Dad, you should rest for a while, I'll take over for you for a bit..." Yan Yu's voice, filled with self-reproach and heartache, reached his ears, but Yan Jing firmly shook his head.

He didn't blame Yan Yu. No one could have imagined that the exit of the secret realm was right before their eyes, no more than a few flaps of an eagle's wings away. Under these circumstances, both of them would have disappeared.

"The guardian of the secret realm said they never saw them at the exit, which means Xiao Yan and Xia Shen must still be inside the secret realm. I have to find them." Yan Jing's tone was firm but hoarse.

Hearing this, Yan Yu could only sigh helplessly and patted the Flying Dragon beneath her. "Let's go, let's search in another direction."

"Roar—" The Salamence spread its blood wings and turned to fly in another direction.

In fact, Yan Yu felt no less guilty than Yan Jing; in her own heart, she was the main reason why the whole incident happened.

If she could meet Shirabi, Yan Yu would definitely choose to go back to that day, to that exit, and watch Yan Yan and Xia Shen leave the secret realm with her own eyes.

Perhaps it was with this obsession that she herself did not realize that she was now heading in the direction of the place where Xia Shen and Yan Yan disappeared that day.

…………

"Okay, okay, that's enough, stop picking."

Xia Shen stood in front of the exit of the Crown Snowfield Secret Realm, looking at the Qixi Bluebird that kept bringing him divine tree fruits with a wry smile.

This tree fruit, which he had never heard of before, had amazing effects—long-term consumption could slightly enhance all of the Pokémon's abilities!

With such exaggerated effects, Xia Shen could only say, "No wonder it's the divine tree that gave birth to the Brilliant King..."

The Bluebird of the Seven Stars did not stop until it had almost picked all the fruit off the sacred tree.

This is its highest gratitude to Xia Shen for helping their clan drive away the firebirds and reclaim their homeland of the sacred tree.

If it weren't for the responsibility of being the leader of her clan, the Qixi Bluebird would have gladly offered herself to him.

"Seven—" Knowing that the two were about to leave, the Qixi Bluebird spread its soft, snow-white wings and wrapped them tightly around Xia Shen and Yan Yan in front of it, saying its final goodbye.

After embracing for a long time, Xia Shen parted its cotton-like wings, waved goodbye, and said, "Alright, we're leaving now. Go to the shore of Qiuhu Lake and bring your people back."

"Seven—" The Qixi Bluebird released the two, nodded, and turned to take off.

The proud and vengeful Moltres has found a new target for revenge, Reginald. Its long life has finally given it something new to do, and it probably won't be returning to the Tree of Life.

And it was finally able to lead its people back to their homeland.

……

Watching the Qixi Bluebird fly away, Xia Shen and Yan Yan rode on the eagle and flew towards the deep and dark exit.

Gazing at the black hole ahead, Xia Shen silently calculated the gains from this secret realm.

Those evolution stones or ordinary Pokémon items are not worth mentioning. What's truly valuable are those rare items that you can't buy before you need them.

First, there are those two fossil dragons, which can be combined with fossil fish and fossil bird to revive two new Pokémon that have never been seen before!

Leaving aside the intangible reputation, the tangible benefits are readily apparent.

Secondly, there are hundreds of divine tree fruits stored in the space. Because the space has the property of being incorruptible and immortal, these divine tree fruits are enough for him and Yan Yan's elves to eat for a long time.

Then, that night under the sacred tree, the holy spring granted the elves a permanent boost to their physique and durability.

Undoubtedly, this is something that countless people would find priceless.

Finally, there's the fist-sized crystal dragon jade that Xia Shen snatched from Regidorago's body in the Giant's Rock Cave.

Regidrago is a legendary Pokémon formed from the crystallization of dragon energy. Legend has it that any Dragon-type move it uses is far more powerful than any other Pokémon's.

The dragon jade on its body is the essence of energy crystals, a truly priceless treasure!

It can be said that although Xia Shen only spent ten days in the secret realm, everything he gained was something that countless trainers would find priceless in the real world.

However, in ten days...my sister-in-law and father-in-law must be worried sick.

Pulling himself back to reality, Xia Shen saw that Pidgeot had already flown to the exit when everything went black.

…………

Yan Yu gazed at the familiar scenery before her, her expression somewhat dazed. Had she unknowingly returned to the place where this nightmare began?

She stared blankly at the deep exit, wishing she could see Pidgeot carrying the two little guys flying out the next second.

Unfortunately, it's just wishful thinking... Yan Yu smiled bitterly.

She shook her head to dispel the unrealistic fantasies in her mind and was about to leave.

But what seemed like a scene from a dream has now become a reality.

Inside the dark and deep black hole, a magnificent and majestic Pied Eagle suddenly appeared, carrying the two people he had been longing for day and night!

Am I hallucinating because I haven't slept for too long?

The absurd and dreamlike scene left Yan Yu stunned for a moment, unable to distinguish between illusion and reality.

Although Yan Yu couldn't tell them apart, the Flying Dragon could. It roared excitedly and rushed forward at top speed.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Pidgeot encountered Salamence.

Then, the two elves slowly descended, giving the three of them space to chat and catch up.

"Sister Yu, you're not going to wait for us outside this cave entrance the whole time, are you?" Xia Shen was also surprised to see Yan Yu as soon as he came out.

Of course, equally surprising is that the entrance and exit of the Crown Snowfield Secret Realm are actually one and the same.

However, this is the first instance of a secret realm within a secret realm, so it's not too surprising that this situation occurred.

Xia Shen's incredibly realistic voice finally snapped Yan Yu out of her daze.

She tried her best to control her facial muscles, wanting to greet their return with a smile.

However, the intense emotions made Yan Yu, who had a strong sense of self-control, unable to keep her facial muscles in check. Her eyes seemed to be sparkling with something, and for a moment, her smile looked worse than her tears.

"Sister Yu, your funny face right now is sure to go viral online," Xia Shen joked with a smile.

"You little rascal!" Yan Yu grabbed Xia Shen and hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to vent her worries and self-blame from the past few days.

"Sis, you're only allowed to hug me this once..." Yan Yan joked, a rare occurrence for her.

"You're a bastard too!" Yan Yu grabbed her sister with her other hand and hugged them both.

After a long while, Yan Yu finally released the two who were almost suffocating and asked, "Where have you been these past few days?"

“A new secret realm,” Xia Shen replied succinctly.

Yan Yan looked at her sister's shocked and curious eyes, which were also covered by dark circles under her eyes, and threatened, "You should get some sleep first, otherwise we won't tell you even if you ask."

Yan Yu was both annoyed and amused, but in the end, she reluctantly agreed.

The events that happened in the past ten days are too numerous to recount in a short time, so there's no rush.

Before resting, Yan Yu remembered something she hadn't done. She threw out the Poké Balls of Dragapult and Charizard, and called over Salamence.

"Go and inform my dad and Kane that Xiaoyan and Xia Shen have been found and to bring them over."

The three Pokémon, along with Pidgeot, responded and flapped their wings, scattering away in different directions.

After taking care of all that, she took out the camping supplies from her storage sphere and went to sleep peacefully.

------

When Yan Yu woke up again, it was already dark. She yawned and unzipped the tent.

Although she hadn't had enough sleep, the rumbling in her stomach forced her to come out and find food.

Outside the tent, a campfire was blazing, and the aroma of meat broth simmering in a large iron pot filled the air. It was the enticing fragrance emanating from the pot that woke her up.

However, although the pot was bigger than a basin, it was clearly not enough for the elves gathered around the campfire to eat.

Xia Shen kept adding ingredients to the pot, and the vegetables and meat that had just been cooked were immediately snatched up by the many elves.

A perfectly good pot of meat soup was turned into a hot pot.
