Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

Before long, Xia Shen saw a blue figure floating above the sea.

As a Flying-type Pokémon, Gyarados can naturally fly. At this moment, it seems that this Gyarados can't stand the temperature of the seawater, so it flies in the air to get some fresh air.

[Yukishi, are the lightning clouds here?]

[Didn't feel anything within a kilometer radius, next place.]

So, Xia Shen used Gyarados as an anchor point and kept searching for the Thundurus with the Uxie legendary beast detector, but he made no progress for a long time.

"Alright, let's rest for a bit, Garchomp."

The Garchomp was undoubtedly the most exhausted from the continuous flight.

Although he stubbornly didn't say anything, the slow descent in his body still revealed his current physical condition.

Xia Shen randomly found a small island in the sea and had Garchomp dock and rest for a while, and have dinner there.

…………

As evening approached and the sun slowly set, the temperature unusually remained largely unchanged.

In Xia Shen's mind, the probability that this abnormal weather was caused by the fireball stone slab was as high as 99%.

The remaining one percent is reserved for the possibility that the original return to nature will not fly away and will suddenly appear to wash the green.

Xia Shen set up a pot on the beach of the small island and released all the elves.

The sudden appearance of the Pokémon startled Growlithe, and they all exuded a powerful aura that was not much less than that of Garchomp.

However, Growlithe, who is sensitive to both good and evil, did not sense any malice.

Relieved, Xia Shen introduced him to his future teammates and greeted them one by one.

Although the idea of ​​future teammates... is still just wishful thinking on Xia Shen's part for now.

The elves, who hadn't seen their new companions in a long time, also curiously examined this unconventional golden puppy with bangs so long they covered its eyes.

They knew that this Growlithe would most likely be their new companion soon.

Therefore, Togekiss and Goodra, among other Pokémon, took good care of Growlithe.

Pokkis joined the team late, and since a younger brother had finally arrived, he naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to be the older brother.

Goody Dragon is naturally like this; she values ​​her companions highly and has a good relationship with every Pokémon in Xia Shen's household.

Growlithe quickly became familiar with the two Pokémon that had shown it kindness, barking occasionally as if they were communicating.

Xia Shen's dinner in the secret realm was still simple, mainly to replenish energy and fill his stomach.

But for the country bumpkin Growlithe, it was a complete delicacy.

Watching the small but incredibly voracious Growlithe eat, it would occasionally turn its head to look around as it ate its food.

Seeing that Garchomp and Ursaring weren't eating any better than him, he felt reassured and continued eating.

So what if I eat badly? I'm not the only one who's embarrassed.

…………

By the time the elves had eaten and drunk their fill, it was nearly dark.

Although there were only two or three hours left before the secret realm ended, Xia Shen did not plan to return to reality now.

If this awful weather can be resolved sooner, more spirits from the Azure Coast and Crimson Lotus Wetlands can be saved.

We can't waste two or three hours; what if we find a thundercloud?

With dreams in his heart, Xia Shen recalled his Pokémon, took Growlithe, and set off again aboard Garchomp.

Although visibility wasn't high in the evening, both the protrusion on Garchomp's head and Xia Shen's own powerful mental strength made them excellent at finding things.

Therefore, Xia Shen is not worried that his efficiency will drop at night.

On the contrary, after no longer needing to use her eyes, Xia Shen felt that her mental perception had become more acute.

For example, he seems to sense... the presence of a large group of Gyarados.

Beneath him, Garchomp seemed to sense something as well, and its flight speed decreased accordingly.

Xia Shen became even more certain of his guess.

[Yukishi, can you sense anything here?]

[Hmm... I sensed it! The aura of the hurricane is in the middle of that group of Gyarados directly ahead!]

Sure enough, it's here! Xia Shen's spirits lifted.

However, with so many Gyarados guarding the area, how are we supposed to get in and find Thundurus...?

"Garuda, let's fly higher and try to avoid those Gyarados."

After thinking it over, Xia Shen decided to sneak in quietly.

He had come to ask Lei Dianyun for help, and it wouldn't be good if he ended up fighting with Lei Dianyun's hot-tempered underlings first.

Looking at the sky, which was gradually becoming overcast, Xia Shen said to Growlithe, "Why don't you go inside your Poké Ball and hide for a while? It might be very dangerous later."

I might be facing the legendary Pokémon Thundurus, and Garchomp is immune to Electric-type attacks. I won't die in the Green Lair, so Growlithe is the most likely to be in danger.

No matter how you look at it, the safest place is still inside the Poké Ball.

"Woof..."

Although Growlithe was somewhat unwilling, it knew that its strength was still too weak, so it obediently entered the Poké Ball.

He had just seen Xia Shen's other Pokémon enter and exit the Poké Ball, so he wasn't surprised that this thing could fit him inside.

…………

With everything prepared, Garchomp took off and entered the airspace before it, which was covered in dark clouds and faintly rumbled with thunder.

Upon entering, Xia Shen and Garchomp both let out a comfortable sigh.

The feeling at this moment is like stepping from the sweltering outdoors into an air-conditioned room.

It seems that even thunderclouds don't like the hot weather outside.

With that in mind, Xia Shen and Garchomp continued flying toward the central area.

[It's just ahead... watch out!]

As Kexi's reminder still echoed, Xia Shen saw a flash of lightning before his eyes, and a bolt of electricity shot straight toward him.

In an instant, the numbing sensation spread throughout Xia Shen's entire body.

The speed was so fast that neither I nor Garchomp had time to react at all!

"Ow—"

Garchomp was enraged! How dare they launch such a blatant sneak attack!

Not only is it immune to lightning, but it also ambushed Xia Shen. How could this divine beast be so despicable?

Xia Shen sensed his anger and quickly reassured him, "I'm fine. That lightning wasn't very powerful; it was probably just a warning not to trespass on his territory. Let's stop and talk to him properly."

Garchomp knew the main purpose of their visit, snorted coldly, and stopped in mid-air without disobeying Xia Shen's wishes.

"I apologize for trespassing on your territory, Your Excellency Thundercloud. But I have come here today to discuss something very important with you."

Since they have something to ask of me, I should first be polite and then resort to force.

If the thunderclouds still don't know what's good for them, then don't blame me for being impolite...

Uh, wait a minute, how can I be so rude as to take a level two god...?

It's not like it's Yukeshi, so you can't threaten it with power outages or internet disconnections.

If it's a thundercloud... should I turn off your air conditioner?

…………

Xia Shen was pondering how to effectively communicate with the thunderclouds when suddenly lightning flashed and thunder roared before his eyes.

Startled from his reverie, Xia Shen looked up and saw thunder and lightning flashing in the dark clouds. A majestic and robust spirit approached from afar, accompanied by booming thunder, stepping through the clouds.

His white, curly hair, which floated in the air, had a long, sharp, purple horn on his forehead.

The upper body is based on sky blue with random purple spots, and the arms are full of strong muscles, crossing the chest.

Its lower body was completely enveloped by clouds, with its thick, long tail swaying out from the clouds that enveloped it.

The ball-shaped object, with its meteor hammer-like tail, is covered with long, sharp spikes, exuding an aura of danger.

He stood atop the clouds and glanced at Xia Shen, his eyes flashing like lightning, revealing a solemn and sacred meaning.

With just one glance, the aura of the divine beast was fully displayed.

This is what a mythical beast should be like!

And then think of Yuuki, who's currently glued to her phone like a shut-in...

Look at them, then look at yourself!

Xia Shen inexplicably found himself in the situation of a Chinese-style parent.

Yukshi did not respond.

Oh no, I hope this doesn't hurt its pride... Xia Shen immediately panicked and quickly apologized.

[I was just kidding. This lightning cloud looks like a paper tiger, all bark and no bite. It's nowhere near even a fraction of what our Yukshi is capable of.]

[Stop talking...]

Yu Kexi finally responded, and Xia Shen chuckled, wondering why she was getting shy after only a few compliments.

Get another round of my rainbow-colored flattery!

[I wasn't wrong, that Thundurus looks like an old man, and it doesn't even have much power to shock people. I think it's not even as good as Pikachu!]

[Seriously, stop talking...]

[I'm telling the truth, this thundercloud is really lame...]

Xia Shen's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she felt inexplicably flustered.

I looked up shakily, only to find that the thunderclouds that were just in the clouds had somehow reappeared in front of me.

[Go on.]
