Pokémon: Blessed by Fate, starting with the destruction of Tyranitar.

"Huowang, your father is a very skilled trainer, and your mother is the most outstanding scholar of ancient Pokémon history in the history of our Eastern Kingdom!"

"If it weren't for them..."

"Our Eastern Empire probably knows very little about these legendary creatures from the elven world!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ou Tianshou seemed to recall something sad.

He also sighed deeply and said, "But unfortunately..."

"They helped the Eastern Huang Kingdom, but we failed to help them."

After speaking, Ou Tianshou knew the atmosphere was a bit somber, so he took a deep breath.

He changed the subject and then took out a rather old-looking handwritten notebook and handed it to Li Huowang.

"This notebook is your mother's keepsake..."

"We found it during our search of the scene."

"After watching this..."

"I think you understand why they disappeared!"

After he finished speaking, Li Huowang didn't say anything, but instead reached out and took the notebook.

The notebook looked old, and even showed signs of being covered in dust.

But as the notebook was opened...

Li Huowang then saw a line of very elegant characters written on it.

[On March 12th, in the 103rd year of the Elven Calendar, I and Shan Chang decided to travel to the Carlos region to find the legendary God of Life, Xerneas, in order to cure Huo Wang's incurable disease.]

088. The collaboration between Vladari and the Eastern Alliance? The source of the mystery: the underground palace!!

Upon seeing the first line of text in the notebook, Li Huowang's brows furrowed.

Because the information revealed in this first line seems to be a lot.

"incurable disease……"

“Zergius…”

"What kind of serious illness did my predecessor suffer from that required Xerneas to cure?"

Xerneas, also known as the god of life, is a deity in the legends of the Carlos region.

It governs abundance and immortality.

He has existed since the beginning of time; no one knows how He was born, nor where He is...

However, if even one place is damaged to the point that it cannot recover on its own...

Then Xerneas will descend and bring life back to this desolate land.

Although Li Huowang was unaware of the connection between Xerneas's abilities and the God of Abundance...

However, it cannot be denied that His abilities are remarkably similar to those of the God of Abundance.

This left Li Huowang very confused about what kind of suffering his body had endured.

He actually needed his parents to find Xerneas to treat him.

Following the notes, Li Huowang used his superpower to quickly flip through them.

Unfortunately, the records only contained trivial matters of daily life, and Li Huowang did not find any records related to himself.

This immediately made Li Huowang feel that he had found a clue.

But this lead just suddenly went cold.

This made Li Huowang feel very uncomfortable.

"Master, is this the only notebook here?"

"Is there anything else?"

"I really can't figure it out just by looking at this."

Li Huowang has a strong ability to think.

But if you're thinking about this thing, you should at least provide some clues, right?

However, upon hearing Li Huowang's question, Ou Tianshou shook his head.

"That's all. This is all the ruins we found..."

"However, when we arrived at the scene of the incident, the place seemed to have been searched beforehand."

"We have not seen either the bodies of your parents or the elves you raised."

"Therefore, we have always claimed that your parents are not dead, but just missing."

"Although we all know that the possibility is very small..."

When Li Huowang's parents were mentioned, Ou Tianshou's expression clearly did not fall.

He looked like he was also feeling bad about the disappearance of Li Huowang's parents.

As for the reason, it is probably because Li Huowang's father, Li Shanchang, was watched by Ou Tianshou from childhood.

Despite being one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Donghuang Kingdom, Li Shanchang was born into a very humble family.

He was an orphan who had been wandering since he was about four or five years old.

Ou Tianshou discovered Li Shanchang and then brought him home.

At first, Ou Tianshou planned to give Li Shanchang some food and then find a good family to raise him.

However, Ou Tianshou later discovered that Li Shanchang seemed to have an extremely high talent in Pokémon trainers.

As for how high his talent is...

It can only be said that Li Shanchang is the first candidate to achieve an SSS-level score since the start of the Donghuang Kingdom's Elf College Entrance Examination.

While Ou Tianshou's guidance played a part, Li Shanchang's exceptional talent was the main reason.

Therefore, Ou Tianshou kept Li Shanchang by his side and took him as his disciple.

All things considered, the two have lived together for nearly fifty years.

But who would have thought that the final result would be the elderly burying their children?

Although Ou Tianshou has cultivated his character and temperament over the years, he still secretly sheds tears alone in his bedroom late at night.

Looking at the somewhat sad Ou Tianshou in front of him, Li Huowang knew that the other party was not pretending.

After pondering for a while, Li Huowang took a deep breath and asked, "Master, where exactly in Carlos did my parents disappear?"

Since Ou Tianshou couldn't provide any details, Li Huowang wanted to find out for himself.

Just as Ou Tianshou was about to speak, Li Huowang began to speak.

Suddenly, Zhu Qian jogged in from outside the door.

"Teacher, Huowang, I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation."

After apologizing, Zhu Qian picked up his phone and handed it to Ou Tianshou.

"Teacher, Mingxu is on the phone. He has something very important to discuss with you."

Hearing this, Ou Tianshou raised an eyebrow, but he quickly picked up his phone and said, "Boy Fu, what's up with calling me?"

As soon as the voice faded, Fu Mingxu's voice quickly came through the phone.

"That's how teachers are."

"I just met with Vladali from the Carlos region in Kyoto."

"He said he wanted to cooperate with our Donghuang Alliance..."

"I want to explore an underground palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ou Tianshou's brows furrowed.

"An underground palace?"

"Young Master Fu, could it be..."

Upon hearing this, Fu Mingxu on the other end of the phone replied, "Yes, teacher."

"That's the place where Senior Brother Li and his wife disappeared."

"Furthermore, from Vladali's words, I could sense that he seemed to be implying that there might be a way to enter this underground palace..."

"So, I'd like to ask you, teacher, for permission."

Despite Fu Mingxu being the champion of Donghuang now, Ou Tianshou is still the real decision-maker for major matters in the Donghuang Alliance.

···Requesting flowers·········

Upon hearing Fu Mingxu's words, Ou Tianshou's gaze involuntarily turned to Li Huowang beside him...

For a moment, I didn't know if it was a hallucination or because I was thinking too much.

Ou Tianshou actually saw the shadow of Li Shanchang in Li Huowang.

After a moment, Ou Tianshou seemed to have figured something out and asked, "Mingxu, what are the chances that Vladali can open the underground palace?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Mingxu replied, "Ninety percent."

"However, judging from his tone, he seemed quite confident."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so confident in seeking cooperation with us."

Upon learning of this, Ou Tianshou nodded and said, "Alright then."

"You can handle this matter!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Mingxu said he understood and then hung up the phone.

And just as the phone call ended.

..................

Li Huowang, standing to the side, had a deep frown on his brow.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Ou Tianshou and Fu Mingxu weren't talking very loudly just now.

However, due to his superpowers, Li Huowang heard everything clearly.

What Vladali...

What underground palace...?

Li Huowang knew all about it.

Vladali was someone Li Huowang knew.

A renowned doctor from the Carlos region, said to be a descendant of the ancient royal family of Carlos.

On the surface, he is a kind-hearted person who makes many friends and is happy to help others.

But behind the scenes, Vladali is the leader of the Flame Team, the largest underground organization in the Carlos region.

Don't be fooled by his cheerful demeanor; he's a man who'll stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

This guy actually took the initiative to cooperate with the Eastern Empire Alliance...

This shows that Vladali definitely had ulterior motives towards the Eastern Empire.

As for the underground palace mentioned in the chat, Li Huowang had seen it in the notes that Ou Tianshou had given to his mother earlier.

His father and mother found an underground palace in the Carlos region.

They spent about two months traveling inside...

Then there is no more.

So, when Li Huowang pieced all this information together...

He stroked his chin and said, "Could it be that underground palace that Vladali is trying to explore..."

"Is that where my parents went?"

"If we go there..."

"Will I be able to find any clues left by my parents, and find out what my incurable disease was?"
