Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

Xia Shen and Yan Yan's Pokémon alone certainly couldn't eat that much. Kane's Corviknight, Inteleon, and Obscurus, and Yan Jing's Lycanroc and Hydreigon.

The four people and a dozen elves were starving, and one pot of food was definitely not enough to go around.

Looking at the neatly arranged group of people around the campfire, Yan Yu muttered to herself that she was probably the last one to get up.

When Xia Shen saw that the last person had finally arrived late, he smiled and said, "Everyone's here now, let's eat and talk."

## Chapter 132 The Emerald Elf Conservation Area Project Begins!

Two days have passed since Xia Shen and his group left the British Secret Realm.

When the British authorities learned from Xia Shen that there were even more secret realms within the secret realm, they immediately organized the first investigation team to explore them.

Xia Shen didn't deliberately hide the news. This was their territory, and it was only a matter of time before they found out. He might as well do the authorities a favor.

Besides, I've already gotten enough good stuff from inside.

Yan Jing was originally a member of the investigation team, but after a week without a proper rest, he was exhausted and went back to the Maritime Research Institute to rest.

At this moment, Xia Shen was in Yan Jing's room, having a heart-to-heart talk with his father-in-law who had just finished recuperating and resting.

Although there is nothing that cannot be told to others, for Xia Shen, who is full of secrets, knowing what to say to whom is an essential quality.

For example, during that fireside chat that night, because Kane was present, he basically only talked about a small part that did not involve his own secrets or gains.

Today, he came to consult Yan Jing about fossil dragons.

Yan Jing toyed with a fossil that Xia Shen had never seen before, and pondered, "You mean, this is an elf fossil that you found in the snowfield that has never been discovered before?"

"Yes, I suspect this is the fourth type of elf fossil besides the three types found in the British Secret Realm. I don't know whether we should hand it over to the British Secret Realm for research... or take it back and study it ourselves?"

This is what Xia Shen has been struggling with. Theoretically speaking, the discoveries in the secret realm belong to the explorers, which is a rule set by the World Trainers Association.

Xia Shen was troubled by this problem because he lacked both the technology to revive the fossil dragon and the necessary cheat codes. He didn't know if he could revive the ichthyosaur if he brought the fossil dragon back to China.

So Xia Shen consulted Yan Jing, a senior pioneer.

Upon hearing this, Yan Jing shook his head and chuckled, "Actually, we only have one option: to hand it over to the British Secret Realm Research Institute. Because only they possess this bizarre technology of resurrecting fossils."

Xia Shen sighed helplessly. Well, it wasn't an unexpected result.

After all, only in the Britannic Abyss can you find such a bizarre spliced ​​fossil elf.

Without knowing whether fossil dinosaurs are still being produced, the two fossil dinosaurs that are resurrected will be the only two remaining dinosaurs in the world: the ichthyosaur and the thunderbird.

Presumably, the Secret Realm Research Institute will try their best to stay here no matter what.

Yan Jing seemed to have guessed what Xia Shen was thinking and comforted him, "But there's nothing to regret. The value of a new fossil Pokémon is far less than that of your Ursaring. After all, fossil Pokémon can't breed."

"Moreover, these two fossils are essentially yours, that's indisputable. At this stage, they are priceless treasures, enough to exchange for something that money can't buy elsewhere."

"But if the same fossils are found in the secret realm after a while, they will not be as valuable. So the choice is up to you."

After clearly analyzing the pros and cons, Yan Jing handed over the final decision to Xia Shen.

…………

After pondering for a while, Xia Shen asked, "Can I trade for a set of Key Stones and a Garchomp Evolution Stone?"

Although Mega Garchomp in the game is considered Garchomp's second major flaw, in reality, Mega Evolution of any Pokémon represents a qualitative leap in strength.

Moreover, the only drawback of Mega Garchomp is the decrease in its speed stat.

In turn-based games, the speed stat is essentially the lifeline of certain Pokémon, but that's not how it works in reality.

Moreover, as the only Pokémon that Xia Shen currently has that can undergo Mega Evolution, he may not need it in the future, but he cannot be without it.

"I can definitely get you a Key Stone, but as for the Garchomp Evolution Stone..." Yan Jing paused for two seconds, "it might take a long time."

"After all, as you know, most trainers obtain Mega Stones before they start training the corresponding Pokémon."

The keystone is just a key; no matter how rare, a secret realm research institute could definitely get it for Xia Shen.

Mega Stones for specific Pokémon are extremely rare and hard to come by.

A simple statistic shows that there are over a hundred trainers in the world who possess both a Key Stone and a Garchomp.

However, there are only a handful of Garchomps capable of Mega Evolution.

Are all the trainers looking down on Mega Garchomp?

of course not!

The stronger and higher the level of life of a Pokémon, the more terrifying the boost it can gain from Mega Evolution.

This is true even for Pokémon of ordinary races, and it is even more evident in Garchomp, which is a pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

Therefore, the rarity of Garchomp evolution stones is evident.

Only such rare Garchomp evolution stones could match the value of these two fossil dragons in Xia Shen's heart.

“No problem, as long as there is a legally binding agreement, I can wait!” Xia Shen agreed to the condition without hesitation.

Anyway, it's still a long time before Garchomp evolves into Garchomp, so there's no rush.

Yan Jing nodded. "Then I'll go find Director Kane in a bit. But all of this depends on the fact that your two fossils are indeed, as you say, the fourth type of fossil that has not yet been discovered."

Xia Shen smiled confidently, "Don't worry, it's genuine!"

------

As Xia Shen was not disappointed, the fossil dragon that Arceus personally identified was without any problems.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of Director Kane and all colleagues in the Fossil Research Department over several days and nights.

Finally, in the early morning of the fifth day, the good news that the ichthyosaur and the thunderbird had been successfully reunited and revived reached Xia Shen's ears.

This means that the agreement signed between Xia Shen and the British Secret Realm Research Institute has officially come into effect.

[If the fossils provided by Xia Shen can indeed be pieced together to revive two new fossil Pokémon, then the research institute needs to deliver a Key Stone and a Garchomp Evolution Stone to Xia Shen within one year.]

This is the highest level of agreement guaranteed by the World Pokémon Association. Those who breach the agreement will be personally confronted by the World Pokémon Association to collect the debt.

Just like the day the Moon Bear appeared, this news, along with a video taken by the research institute, spread to every corner of the world.

However, the appearance of these two Pokémon was far less sensational than the appearance of Ursaring.

Firstly, the spliced ​​fossil elves of the British Secret Realm have received mixed reviews from the very beginning due to their bizarre appearance.

Needless to say, once the photos and videos were released, most people's first reaction was, "What is this ichthyosaur?"

Why is its head growing from the tip of its tail? It looks so strange!

Secondly, fossil Pokémon have no connection with most trainers.

They are rare and cannot reproduce, making them even harder to obtain than quasi-gods in some respects.

The key point is that they aren't necessarily much stronger than ordinary elves.

Many netizens even made inappropriate comments in the comment section of the Fossil Elf news.

"My assessment is that it's a case of someone who can't handle the food of a Moon Bear trying to eat it all!"

"So when will my Ursaring evolve into a Pummel? Waaaaah..."

……

So, after a few days of excitement online about the discovery of the two new fossil Pokémon, the discussion gradually subsided.

Even more surprisingly, very few people noticed that the thank-you list at the end of the video also included a name that had been extremely popular recently: "Xia Shen".

However, these miscellaneous messages have nothing to do with Xia Shen anymore.

On the morning he learned that the agreement had taken effect, he and the Yan family father and daughters left Britain and came to Nandu.

The city where the Jiangnan Provincial Trainers Association and the South China headquarters of Devon Corporation are located.

…………

Nandu Dragon Dance Training Center Headquarters.

In the large conference room, a unique and special meeting is taking place.

Sun Fan, president of the Jiangnan Province Trainers Association; Wang Yi, president of Dewen Company; Yan Jing, the only seven-star investigator in China; and many other bigwigs who control the economic lifeline of the outside world...

They were listening intently to the well-organized presentation of the project by the young man at the head of the group.

"Therefore, in my vision, the complete form of this project is not just a simple breeding base for moon bears."

"In the future, it will be the only ecological conservation area in the world that breeds special evolved forms of Pokémon such as Luna, Deerclops, and Needlefish, as well as Pokémon such as Typhlosion, Sculptor, and the Ancient East Sea subspecies of Miss Skirt!"

Xia Shen turned off the PowerPoint presentation he had worked on overnight, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and ended his hour-long, empty-handed speech.

The audience erupted in applause.

Looking at the reserved expressions and excited, hopeful eyes of the bigwigs below the stage, Xia Shen felt that his performance should have been pretty good.

It's really tiring, though. I'll leave this kind of thing to my father-in-law from now on, and just focus on raising the unique Emerald Elf.

That is where one's greatest value lies.

……

"Ahem, young friend Xia Shen, the future you described is indeed very bright, but those elves you mentioned... it's not that we don't believe them, we just want to see for ourselves."

The question from Sun Fan, the guild leader of the Aegis-wielding monsters, brought Xia Shen back to his senses.

The others around nodded in agreement, and on this point, everyone was fairly in agreement.

It can be said that once this crucial point is determined, they will not hesitate to pour money into Xia Shen's wonderful blueprint.

“I understand your feelings, but you should also consider my current situation.”

Xia Shen said helplessly, "I'm just a rookie trainer who hasn't even passed the amateur assessment yet. How can I have the energy to take care of so many Pokémon?"

"A single month of bear market is enough to say a lot. Besides, investing is inherently risky. How much resources you are willing to invest depends on your courage and how much trust you have in me."

A hush fell over the room as everyone lowered their heads in deep thought, and the meeting seemed to have reached a stalemate.
