Outside Ssangyong City.

On a hill with little reputation, a howling cold wind swept across his face, driving strands of short black hair.

Xia Yan, who pressed his hat, had a cold face without any emotion, and a pitch-black fire-breathing dragon beside him kept snorting.

White scorching smoke poured out of his nostrils, and it took a long time for it to completely disappear into the cold wind of the northern region of the United Territories.

Charizard glanced at the figure at his side, much thinner and weaker than him.

The tail covered with pitch-black shiny scales flicked slightly, as if it was just doing an unconscious boring swing, and finally stopped silently beside the figure.

The flame at the end of the tail gradually expands and spreads as it gets closer.

The rising heat dispels the cold of the high mountains.

Feeling the rise in temperature, Xia Yan glanced at the tail that stayed beside him, turned his head to look at the arrogant Charizard, and a warm smile appeared on his resolute and cold face.

Suddenly.

Charizard's expression was slightly solemn, and his sharp dragon eyes locked into the distance.

The figure that passed through the layers of clouds and mist, galloped forward.

The hazy figure quickly approached, and the outline gradually became clear, as if it was a fierce and domineering dragon with wings spread!

And on the back of the Tyrannosaurus, there was also a slender and pretty figure.

Not much.

The Tyrannosaurus appeared at the top of the mountain.

There was a lot of whistling air currents, accompanied by a little fierce wind, which bent the weeds and brought up a wave of green leaves in the forest.

"Roar—"

Seeing this, Charizard let out a restrained roar.

But the voice was full of dissatisfaction.

Meantime.

In the sharp eyes, there is also a hideous crunch.

As if sensing the threat from Charizard, the momentum of the tyrannosaurus with a domineering and violent personality froze slightly, and after looking at Charizard with fear, his movements were slightly restrained and slowly fell to the ground.

Smack.

The figure on the back of the Tyrannosaurus jumped down and landed in front of Xia Yan.

"Yan Xia."

A familiar voice rang out.

A slight smile also appeared on Xia Yan's face.

"Joanna. No, it's Hunter J now. ”

Come.

It is none other than the hunter J of the Hunter Guild, the actual controller of the Hunter Guild in the United Region today, and one of Xia Yan's partners, Hunter J Joanna.

Hearing Xia Yan's name, the corners of Joanna's raised mouth twitched.

Slightly self-deprecating and unashamed, he said, "Hunter J? I'm just a wage earner for some 'Hunter N'. ”

The smile on Xia Yan's face was even worse.

Why is there still resentment?

"You can already apply for the highest seat, why didn't you move?"

Joanna pouted.

"Now, does it make a difference whether the Hunter Guild is the highest seat or not? It's just a change of title. ”

Xia Yan patted Charizard beside him and motioned for it to restrain a little.

Didn't you see the quasi-god elf Tyrannosaurus on the opposite side, because it was forced by its aura, it kept its body tense at any time and didn't dare to approach?

Charizard's nostrils erupted a puff of white smoke again, and the fierce aura and the more tyrannical aura than the Tyrannosaurus had only slightly subsided.

Joanna's Tyrannosaurus finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the jet-black fire-breathing dragon quietly, and his heart was full of fear.

Joanna watched Natsuhiko's movements.

Not to mention.

Xia Yan, who is dressed in black, with such a jet-black domineering fire-breathing dragon, really complements each other.

"What's the matter with me?"

Natsuhiko also continued to ask too much about why Joanna didn't compete for the top seat.

One word.

Even if Joanna is not the highest seat now, or even a hunter at the table, as long as she represents the Hunter Guild "Hunter N", she can have the highest management rights in the Hunter Guild in the United Domain.

Originally.

The two people who are just working towards the hunters of the Hunter Guild seat can now be regarded as people who can influence the development direction of such a huge force as the Hunter Guild to a certain extent.

That is, the organization of the Hunter Guild is too loose.

Otherwise, Xia Yan's power is estimated to be ridiculously large.

Of course, because of this, "Hunter N" did not become on the league's wanted list, second only to the existence of the leader of Team Rocket.

Moreover, there is a reason why the Hunters' Guild has been able to grow so big, and because it is loose.

For most hunters, the Hunter Guild is more like a convenient, fast and safe channel to "sell stolen goods".

It's only sometimes that when the Hunters' Guild issues some quests with a lot of money to pay, these idle and profitable hunters will do things together.

Speaking of business, Joanna also put away her joking look.

Looking directly at Xia Yan, he said slowly: "Plasma team, there is a move." ”

"Team Plasma?"

Xia Yan raised an eyebrow.

I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Heh, you weren't scared last time? Got action so soon? ”

Last time, Xia Yan took the white dragon Leshiram and wiped out the entire plasma team's base.

That is, the three holes of the plasma team cunning rabbit failed to be completely extinguished.

There's going to be a new move so soon?

Okay, the scar forgot the pain?

Joanna shook her head, her expression gradually becoming serious.

"The most important thing. This time, the operation of the plasma team broke away from Akroma. ”

"Huh?"

Xia Yan was slightly stunned.

"Got out of Akroma?"

"Yes. As you say, we have people lurking around Akroma all the time. On a day-to-day basis, we do find that Team Plasma's Quiches is quite dependent on this genius and crazy scientist, and almost any action will revolve around this Akroma action. ”

After a slight pause, Joanna's words were still tinged with disdain and mockery.

"Anyone who knows, everyone knows that the loss is actually the actual controller of the plasma team. People who don't know still think that Akroma is the one behind the plasma team. ”

Let's be honest.

Xia Yan shook his head secretly in his heart.

In various regions, there are so many underground forces, large and small dark organizations.

If anything, the most disgraceful is the leader of the Plasma team, Quiches.

At first, he relied on his godson N as a spokesperson to demagogue and secretly manipulate the plasma team, but when N realized his problem, he relied on Akroma's technology to try to control the black and white double dragon and Kyurem.

's own ability, except for some intrigues and tricks, has not shown much strength.

Not to mention courage, personality charm and so on.

Not to mention compared to Sakaki, the leader of Team Rocket.

Even if it's with the leader of the Galaxy team, Akari, and the leader of the Flash Team, Vladali, there is nothing to compare.

After Quitchis was captured, Team Plasma fell into the hands of Akroma and Team Plasma became truly difficult and difficult to deal with.

Without Quitch pressing on it, the scientific and technological ability of the mad scientist Akroma does show his difficult side.

But it is not so easy to deal with the scientific and technological achievement of manipulating and influencing wild elves on a large scale, and even affecting the elves that have been subdued.

So.

Compared to Quichisi, Xia Yan is still a little more jealous of Akroma.

Only then did Joanna send someone to spy on Akroma's every move.

Of course.

It's also because although Quikisi has courage and ability, his self-protection ability and sense of protection are still relatively in place, and the dark iron triangle has always been by his side to protect his safety, and it is not easy to approach.

"If you have left Akroma, will it be because you know that we have planted men around him?"

Xia Yan asked after a thought.

This time, Joanna showed helplessness.

Shrugged, "To be honest, Akroma actually knew about the people we planted around him. It's just that for some reason, he has been silent and maintains a certain tacit understanding with us. ”

"Oh?"

Xia Yan frowned.

Akroma knew that someone from the Hunter Guild had been planted around him, which was not very surprising to Natsuhiko.

He was just a little surprised that Akroma would actually maintain a certain tacit understanding with them, and they knew each other.

What does that mean?

Joanna continued, "Moreover, the information this time was actually told to us by Akroma through that person. ”

"What did Akroma say?"

Xia Yan was even more surprised.

"Quirkis and Akroma have conflicts, disagreements?"

Joanna shook her head, "We don't know that. Although he was able to spy on Akroma, he couldn't follow him anywhere, let alone meet up with Quechith. ”

The specific details, Joanna doesn't know.

But Akroma reported to the Hunters' Guild through the people he had planted, which was somewhat intriguing.

Natsuhiko pressed his chin and fell into deep thought.

Joanna watched Xia Yan think, and didn't bother him, just stood aside silently.

Now the decision-maker is Xia Yan, and she is an executor.

Just leave the matter of using your brain and making decisions to the decision-makers.

After a while.

Xia Yan paced a few steps slowly.

before he spoke again.

"Does the Alliance know?"

Joanna paused briefly, a little unsure, "Maybe....... I don't know. ”

He explained, "Because even if it were us, if it wasn't for Akroma's reminder, we wouldn't know that Team Plasma would move." Although the alliance has a stronger penetration ability than us, they certainly don't have as much eyeliner as us.

We didn't catch the slightest bit of the turmoil, and the league probably won't know much. ”

Xia Yan bowed his head slightly and continued to rub his chin.

Joanna asked tentatively, "Could it be....... Has it anything to do with the events that broke out in the Alola region the other day? From those videos on the Internet, I seem to have seen Akroma as well. ”

Xia Yan's footsteps paused slightly.

"It's not impossible."

How would Team Plasma's Akroma feel if he saw someone from another world and stirring up trouble in the Alola region to show off his technology?

But that's not enough to cause disagreement and contradiction between Akroma and Quitchis.

"What did he say?" Xia Yan asked.

Joanna quickly handed over a note.

The content above is very simple.

[Team Plasma has action.] 】

And on the back of the note.

There are also four more scribbled texts.

It doesn't look like a deliberate message from Akroma, but more like a casual write-up.

[Late night meteorite. 】

Of course.

Akroma is a person with a top IQ, and no one knows if he deliberately did this, whether it was really just unintentional.

"Late Night Meteorite......"

Xia Yan tugged at his mouth.

I don't know, will the disappearance of the United Champion Adek have something to do with the Plasma team?

Or is it related to this "late night meteorite"?

Throw the note to Charizard next to you.

With a flick of Charizard's tail, the note instantly disappeared into mist in the blazing orange-red flames.

He immediately looked at Joanna.

"You can't believe all of Akroma's words, but you can't disbelieve them either."

After all, no one knows if Akroma is really at odds with Quechis or if she's obscuring her vision.

For Akroma as a person, it is impossible to fully trust it now.

Even if he has established a tacit understanding with the Hunters' Guild.

Moreover.

If he really had a conflict with Quitch and wanted to stop him, wouldn't contacting the Alliance really be what he should do?

Informing them of the Hunter Guild's choice is inherently problematic.

Right now.

The whereabouts of the plasma team cannot be completely determined, and it is difficult to say whether they actually made a move.

If the United Alliance is notified, wouldn't it also reveal that the Hunter Guild has a certain connection with the Alliance?

Whether he really wants to do anything, or if he has any special arrangements, it is still impossible to make a decision.

Joanna nodded.

"I'll do a simple survey. You are always ready to let me know if there is any news. Xia Yan thought about it and then said.

"Good!"

...

...

Late Night Meteorite: A huge meteorite from the universe in the ultra-ancient period, scattered when it came into contact with the atmosphere of the elven world, and it is rumored that each of its tiny fragments contains a huge amount of energy, and the largest of them fell in the United Regions of the United States.

In the original book, Team Plasma and Team Rocket launched a chase for the night meteorite.

You want to obtain the terrifying energy contained in it in order to achieve certain goals.

It's just that the plot of those two episodes was postponed indefinitely for some special reasons, and in the end, everyone could only see the preview of two episodes, and at the same time, it completely disrupted all the arrangements of the animation team for the plot at that time, and it was not played in the end.

But for the information of this evening meteorite containing huge energy, Xia Yan still knows a little bit about it.

Whistling dust and sandstorms.

Natsuhiko rode in Ladios and came to the huge desert between Feiyun City and Raven City.

In ancient times, it was the most prosperous and lively area in the United District.

Two thousand five hundred years ago, the ancients and the people built a huge ancient town and even a kingdom here.

It's just that with the changes of the times and the change of history.

The once prosperous ancient town has now been completely submerged in the yellow sand.

Some of the remaining ruins and monuments have now become a more famous "wilderness scenic spot" in the United area.

It's just that because the desert is too huge, and there are too many wild elves inhabiting it, some strong and some weak, so ordinary people can only be active on the periphery of the "wilderness scenic spot".

Road No. 4 in the United Region runs straight through this "wilderness area".

Ordinary people, as well as trainers in general, are mostly active around Route 4 and are unable to penetrate deep into the desert.

Because the environment there is too harsh.

But even the ferocious sandstorms in the sky are not something that ordinary trainers and elves can resist, let alone the wild elves that inhabit the desert.

But Natsuhiko knew.

The so-called "wilderness area", in which the "ancient city" is displayed, is only the outer area of the real ancient town.

And the core area of the real "ancient city" is still buried deep in the desert.

Thereinto.

If nothing else, the "Evening Meteorite" was also collected by the ancient royal family at that time and placed in the depths of the real ancient city.

Xia Yan, who deliberately put on a windproof coat, crossed the edge of the desert and directly entered the most dangerous and harsh area in the center.

Brush your palms around your waist.

"Woo~~"

Burning insects appeared in front of him in a red light.

The heat in the desert area makes the burning insects feel very comfortable, like a fish in water.

And a human like Xia Yan, who appeared in the center of the extremely barren desert area, must have become a fragrant bun in the eyes of many elves who were active in the desert at the first time.

It's not.

The burning insects had just appeared, and they hadn't had time to take a deep breath and feel the hot breath around them.

The strange movement in the surrounding desert immediately attracted its attention.

Rustle –

Quicksand slides.

In the blink of an eye, a small sand pit formed by a whirlpool of quicksand appeared in the sight of Natsuhiko and the burning insects.

The next second.

"Roaring ——!!"

In the large area of flying sand that suddenly bulged, a sound full of a strong intimidating charm came, and at the same time, the red and black ferocious beasts stepped on the sand and swooped down.

Like an extremely good hunter, he waited quietly under the sand.

When they see their prey appear, they will immediately pounce forward without hesitation, bite the prey with the most ferocious and intimidating sharp teeth, and then drag it into the familiar desert.

appeared.

It's a bully in the desert, a rogue crocodile!

While tearing the sand to block the view, the fishy smell from the mouth of the blood basin seemed to be between the snorts.

But.

In the face of the vicious rogue crocodile, the burning worm, which already has enough combat experience, does not show any panic.

Instead, it quickly spat out golden flames, quickly sweeping away the sand that obscured his vision, and then leaped forward with all his might.

In terms of ferocity alone, the incendiary bug and the rogue crocodile are incomparable.

But in terms of size and strength, the Burning Worm, which has undergone Xia Yan's rigorous training and obtained many strange benefits, is not much inferior to the rogue crocodile.

Flames instantly rose from the five crimson tentacles, enveloping the incendiary worms, and the speed of the forward charge increased again, like a huge cannonball that shot out.

From the collision of "Bite Crush" and "Flash Charge".

Rumble!!!

Large expanses of sand and dust burst apart from the aftermath of the collision.

In the scattered dust, a figure with golden flames spit out silk threads and wrapped them around the rogue crocodile's body, and at the same time, with the pull of the silk thread, the rogue crocodile that had been bounced back again, turned over and pounced on its back.

Take a hard bite.

Vampire!

Time.

The hard scale armor on the rogue crocodile's back shattered instantly, and pieces of torn crimson scales burst out.

"Roaring ——!!"

The rogue crocodile who was in pain suddenly roared in pain.

It's just that.

Whether it is with the strength of its own limbs or with the pull of silk threads, the incendiary worm lies dead on the rogue crocodile like an appendage, constantly drawing strength from its body.

The damage caused to oneself by the "Flash Charge" was instantly compensated and restored under the effect of the "Vampire" move.

Bang!!

Two overlapping figures slammed into the sand.

No matter how much the rogue crocodile struggles, it will not help.

What it felt from its back was not only the pain from the gnawing of the burning insects, but also the burning sensation of losing the protection of the scales, and the panic of the rapid flow of energy in its body.

That's when it realized.

Provoked an existence that should not be provoked, this is not a prey that it can catch.

In a panic, the rogue crocodile can only keep digging the sand and burrow into the bottom of the sand, trying to use the sand to drive away the burning insects on its back that are constantly sucking its energy.

Soon.

As the sand squirmed, the rogue crocodile and the burning insect disappeared from Xia Yan's sight.

The desert seems to be calm again.

But Xia Yan didn't move, just stood calmly in place, looking around.

Soon.

The sand squirmed again.

The incendiary worm slowly emerged from the sand.

"Hiccup~~"

He even exaggerated his burp.

Put your hands together and bow slightly towards the sand that has returned to calm.

"Woo~~ (Thank you for your hospitality.) ）”

Hearing this, the corners of Xia Yan's eyes twitched.

If the rogue crocodile who has lost his combat ability hears the last words of the burning worm, it is estimated that he will be able to jump up and fight for another three hundred rounds.

However, with the recovery ability of the "Vampire" move, the durability of the Burning Worm during combat will be significantly improved.

If there is a "big rhizome", the persistence will be further improved.

Therefore, if you want to last for a long time, "big rhizomes" are indispensable.

"Huh?"

Suddenly.

The incendiary insect propped up, its blue eyes under the white fluff and staring straight at somewhere in the desert.

It was as if I could see through the layers of sandstorms and see some corner of the deep interior of the desert.

The five red tentacles on his body shook slightly, and wisps of golden flames surrounded and intertwined with them.

Xia Yan's thought moved.

"Burning bug, do you feel anything?"

"Woo~~"

The burning insect nodded again and again, blinking its blue eyes.

It couldn't say what it was, but it felt as if something or something was faintly calling to it in the depths of the desert.

Xia Yan nodded secretly.

Really.

Burning bugs are sfelt.

Then it is much more convenient to find the real ruins of the "ancient city".

"Then let's go, let's go and see."

As he spoke, he raised his feet and walked in the direction where the burning worm was looking.

The Burning Worm also hurriedly followed Xia Yan's footsteps, following him step by step to prevent the sudden attack of some wild elf again.

Two rows of footprints, one large and one small, appeared in this uninhabited desert.

But there was soon overshadowed by a thick sandstorm.

The desert is calm again.

The dangers hidden on it cannot be felt unless you really touch it.

...

...

"This is it. Thank you. ”

Xia Yan smiled and said to the group of wild elves around him who were silent.

I saw several rogue crocodiles, gangster crocodiles, and black-eyed crocodiles shaking their heads one after another, and looked at the burning insects that followed Xia Yan in fear.

After receiving Xia Yan's signal, he fled into the desert.

And at this time.

What appeared in front of Natsuhiko and the burning insects was a deep tunnel that was long and dark and didn't know where it leads.

However, the structure of this passage is very strong.

Even if it is pressed with a thick layer of sand, its ancient but stable masonry structure can firmly withstand this pressure.

Over here.

It is the entrance to the real "ancient city".

According to the faint exchange perceived by the burning insects, and with the help of the rogue crocodiles' familiarity with this desert area, Xia Yan finally found the real "ancient city" ruins before sunset.

I don't know if it has been excavated, but it has been around for thousands of years.

"Woo~~"

The incendiary insect pointed to the depths of the passage, a little uncontrollable excitement.

Inside.

The charm of its summoning is clearer.

As soon as I entered the passage, I smelled the quaint smell on my face.

From this breath alone, it seems that no one has come in.

"Huh?"

The incendiary worm lifted its short limbs and reached out to a slowly falling patch of bright flowers, blinking its eyes.

Seems to be curious.

Why can you still see flower petals in the underground tunnels deep in the desert?

Xia Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "It seems that the once prosperous ancient city has now become the habitat of a large number of wild elves." We have entered the territory of other people. ”

Immediately afterwards, there are more and more petals.

The burning insect that touched the petals also felt a trace of sharpness on the petals, which made the feet and limbs slightly painful.

Petal Dance!

Xia Yan's expression was solemn, and he commanded: "Burning insects, hot wind!" ”
