Silver Mountain.

A small conference room in the Elven Alliance General Alliance building.

Headed by Bai Lao, it has now become an internal meeting of the royal family and the descendants of the nobles at the top of the General Alliance.

There are many factions in the general alliance, and the major factions are not as harmonious as outsiders think.

The practical faction, the academic faction, the radical faction, the conservative faction, and so on, all have their own relationships to a greater or lesser extent.

The descendants of the royal family did not form a clear faction.

They are more infiltrated into the major factions and strive to become the backbone, eating away at the power of the alliance little by little.

However, it is precisely because of such complex and contradictory internal relations that the internal alliance has not been very united.

Even if many problems are discovered, no one is willing to make a head bird without one person taking the lead.

Especially yes, the other party is still the vice president of the general alliance who is in a high position and holds great power.

But this time.

Xia Yan became this budding bird.

Moreover.

Without hesitation, this first shot was fired.

And once Xia Yan, the bird who fired the first shot, is not punished accordingly, then the rest of the high-level officials who have long seen the dissatisfaction of their royal descendants will definitely pounce on them and bite off a piece of meat from them.

Bang!!

"That guy, how can you? How dare he?! ”

Xia Yan openly provoked that he wanted to oppose the news of the General Alliance, and they had already seen it.

Those who don't know think that Xia Yan is shouting for the entire alliance.

But in fact, the discerning person knows very well that what he is clamoring for is the group of people led by Bai Lao.

So.

Many people have remained silent for the time being, choosing to wait and see.

Moreover, a large number of royal and noble descendants were slaughtered in the Galel region.

This is not a bad thing in the eyes of some people, after all, their group of people is not monolithic.

Before the advent of the Union.

The contradictions between the royal families and nobles in various regions can be said to be irreconcilable.

It's just that once this kind of thing is not stopped, it may be them who will suffer in the future.

"Bai Lao, you have something to say."

The people at the conference table looked at the white-haired old man sitting in the main seat.

In the face of everyone's eager inquiry, Bai Lao's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and the dull sound made the somewhat noisy conference room quickly quiet down.

"What do you want the old man to do? The old man has the biggest loss this time. ”

There are so many elves that have surpassed the champion level, it took him most of his life to cultivate, and he lost it like this.

His expression seemed calm, but in fact, blood was dripping inside.

If he could, even if he exchanged the lives of everyone present for his elves, Bai Lao would be very happy.

The crowd was silent.

They really didn't expect that the operation to intercept and kill Xia Yan would actually fail.

I thought that there were eight top royal descendants to intercept and kill, and Bai Lao was in charge, no matter how strong Xia Yan was, he should be ambushed.

Even if Xia Yan had a good relationship with the divine beast, they would have counted it in.

But he didn't think that not only did the interception fail, but he suffered heavy losses.

Took a deep breath.

Bai Lao surrounded everyone and said in a deep voice:

"Arrangements have been made."

Everyone looked at each other.

Arrangement?

...

...

"Ipeltar, running out again?"

Listening to the "trouble" told by the core of Kigeld, Xia Yan was stunned for a moment.

[Not only Ipeltar, but I feel that the balance of the entire elven world has begun to be out of balance. 】

Kigeld had a serious look on his face.

The red, prismatic square on its chest flickered and dimmed.

Just as Xia Yan digested what the Kigeld cell core was saying, he suddenly saw that in the red ribs in the middle of the Kigeld cell core, strands of black silk threads overflowed.

Seeing this power again, Xia Yan recognized it at first sight.

"Dark energy?!"

There was no time to explain too much, Xia Yan hurriedly opened his palms and closed his eyes.

The power of the waveguide is in the heart!

The power of the azure waveguide swirled in the palm of his hand, enveloping the core of the Kigeld cell.

The next moment.

The dull black thread slowly melted away until it completely dissipated.

Seeing this, Xia Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Kiggled is also polluted by dark energy, then I'm afraid it's really a big problem.

As the god of order, once it goes berserk, I am afraid that all the ecological balance of the entire elven world will be completely broken.

At that time.

I don't know how many wild elves and humans will fall in that unbalanced ecological environment.

And after those few wisps of dark energy disappeared, the core of Kigeld's cell also temporarily recovered.

It's just that its expression has become more serious.

[You saw it, Natsuhiko. Now there is an inexplicable amount of these energies filled with negative emotions such as anger, hatred, and devouring, which continue to erode the originally balanced ecology. 】

After a brief pause, it went on to add:

[Even my own cells, some of them were polluted in order to protect the ecology, and they were completely cut off from me. 】

"What do you mean? Dark energies are starting to riot? ”

The first thing that flashed in Xia Yan's mind was that the group of descendants of the royal family were about to start doing things again.

And with a high probability, he guessed correctly.

[I noticed that energy at the beginning of the riot, and also determined the location of the eruption.] 】

Kigeld core said.

Xia Yan raised his eyebrows.

"Didn't stop it?"

Is there anything Gundam can't stop?

I saw the core of the Kigeld cell looking helpless.

【I ....... My friend it, was contaminated. 】

Natsuhiko: "!! ”

What do you mean?

"You mean, another cell core, polluted by dark energy?"

[Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have traveled so far to find you. 】

Xia Yan looked up to the sky, and then looked at the small Kigeld cell core in front of him.

Gundam, no more?

Then I listened to the core of the Kigeld cell very simply say:

[Xia Yan, I need your help. 】

Silently took a breath.

Let's be honest.

This matter is certainly not simple, and it is definitely not easy to deal with.

But it was Kigeld who offered to help.

In the Alola area before, when Xia Yan needed help, Kigeld didn't have any excuses.

Not to mention their relationship, even if it is just a courtesy exchange and a favor, they all have to be repaid.

What's more, Kigeld, the god of order, said so, and it is very likely that the matter is inseparable from that group of royal descendants, and Xia Yan can't refuse.

After a brief silence.

Under the gaze of Kigeld's cell core, Xia Yan nodded silently.

...

...

"It seems that Champion Liubo really has no intention of keeping his hands. His last elf was an ivory pig! ”

On Natsuhiko's personal flyship.

He and his elves sat in front of a giant screen, watching the webcast being played on it.

in the picture.

It's the final showdown between two people.

One of them is naturally another cheap teacher of Xia Yan, the current champion of the Johto region, the former king of the ice system, Liu Bo!

And his opponents.

The young man with red hair, a cloak hunting, and a serious and confident face is his friend, Yulongdu!

That's right.

The content of this live broadcast is the "Road to Champions" challenge!

Xia Yan couldn't get to the scene for various reasons, but he still had to watch the live broadcast that should be watched.

Since the last time he left Galel, the Guandu Alliance and the Johto Alliance have issued two announcements.

The dragon king of the Guandu Alliance, Yulongdu, stepped down as the four heavenly kings of Guandu.

Followed by.

The Chengdu Alliance announced that the Imperial Dragon Clan of Yanmo City has officially announced the challenge of the Chengdu Alliance's championship road!

At that time, it could be regarded as setting off a lot of waves on the Internet, and even suppressed the discussion of Xia Yan's identity at that time.

And now.

It is the last moment to challenge the "road to champion".

Showdown with the champion of the city, Liu Bo!

In the end, Wataru was left with only one Charizard, and Liubo was left with the last elf, the Ivory Pig.

Looking at the barrage full of screens, Xia Yan vaguely felt the hot appearance of online comments when he challenged the road to the championship.

The second one who eats crabs is definitely not as famous as the first one.

But the number of viewers of this live broadcast is still very exaggerated.

It's just that.

Looking at their comments that Liu Bo really didn't release the water and that Du had a high probability of winning, Xia Yan pursed his lips.

"Didn't put the water? It's not that the water is released, Mr. Liu Bo is letting the sea out, right? ”

Xia Yan still couldn't hold back and complained.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the higher the level of evolution of elves, the stronger their strength.

Liu Bo is famous for his ice moves, using the little mountain boar as his signature, and the ivory pig, the final evolution of the little mountain boar, must be his strongest elf.

But.

Those who really know Liu Bo understand that his little boar is the real terrifying existence.

With the fourfold restraint of the ice system against the Dodo Elf, Liu Bo's little boar can not say that he can directly push the team, but the fast dragon and the tyrannosaurus of the crossing are estimated to not even have the opportunity to fight.

However, Xia Yan, who watched it from beginning to end, didn't see Uncle Liu summon the little mountain boar.

Not even the messenger birds.

Isn't this a release of the sea?

"The Evil Household." Xia Yan complained again.

He didn't understand it before, but now he's pretty much figured it out.

The reason why Liu Bo was willing to serve as the champion of the Johto region was because the Dragon Clan was operating in the back, and they wanted Liu Bo to occupy a position for Du.

Absolutely.

Liu Bo must have also gained a lot of benefits.

But what it is, Xia Yan doesn't know.

Otherwise, with Liu Boyi's appearance at that time, even being the owner of the gym who fished for three days and dried nets for two days would definitely not be willing to be the champion of fishing.

Or the champion of the Joto League, who has just left the Kanto Alliance.

However, in fact, Xia Yan also understands Liu Bo's mentality.

Now, he still hopes to see the rise of the younger generation of the alliance, and it is estimated that he is happy and eager to see Wataru succeed him.

Many of the older generations of the alliance actually have such ideas.

For example, Adek of the United Alliance.

"Charizard, Mega Evolve!"

in the picture.

Wataru came up with his final preparations, Super Charizard X!

"Dora Gondangs!"

Seeing this, Xia Yan knew that it was time to congratulate Du on becoming the new champion of the Johto region.

A string of four picked the four heavenly kings of the Josto Alliance, and then defeated the champion Liu Bo, this gold content is no one, high enough.

I sent a congratulatory message to Du as soon as possible.

Start today.

The Dragon King has officially returned to the city.

And the Chengdu area will also officially rise because of the return of Du.

It's a pity that the Kanto area.

Obviously, there is such a talent, but he let it go.

In the future, it is estimated that the Guandu will only be supported by Kona.

But don't say it.

If Guandu and Chengdu really want to compete, Kona's restraint effect on the ferry is still very strong.

After all, after such a long battle, no one knows better than Kona how to restrain Watara.

And Xia Yan also heard about it.

In the previous incident, Kona had already subdued a Six-Tails in Alola form.

The future is promising.

"Wataru has become a champion, so I guess Daigo is also soon."

For Daigo, Xia Yan is also very confident.

[It's here.] 】

Looking at the picture of shaking hands with Liu Bo and completing the final ceremony of the "Road to Champions" during the live broadcast, the voice of the core of Kigeld's cell sounded in Xia Yan's mind.

Look out the window.

It's a sky full of wind and sand, and an endless desert.

And in the middle of this vast desert, an oasis like a star is dotted among them.

It adds a bit of vitality to the monotonous desert and adds a little color.

The city.

It was the destination of their trip.

An oasis in the desert, a desert city!

"Kigeld, are you sure it really started here?"

Looking out the window at the modern and prosperous city that was getting closer and closer, standing in the middle of the endless desert, Xia Yan asked again with certainty.

I saw that the core of the Kiggard cell rolled his eyes angrily.

You've asked more than ten times. 】

In this regard, Xia Yan could only reveal a somewhat bitter dry smile in helplessness.

I can't help it.

It really involves the plot of Desert City, so he has to confirm it again and again.

This desert city can be regarded as a relatively famous tourist resort city in the entire elf world in the Carlos region, but Xia Yan has never been to it once.

Mainly because.

In this city, there is a very remarkable guy.

What's wrong with that.......

If it wants to.

It should only take a wave of your hand to level the entire Carlos area.

Perhaps, leveling the entire elven world is just as simple.

Hoopa!

A real mythical beast "trainer"!

Buzz Buzz –

The movement of the engine gradually decreased, and his spaceship finally landed slowly on the wide tarmac unique to Desert City.

Although his spaceship is very conspicuous.

But in Desert City, it seems so insignificant.

Because.

On the tarmac, there are more than a lot of people who are about the same size as his airship.

The famous desert oasis, the wealthy tourist city of Desert City, is no joke.

Over here.

Every inch of land is valuable.

I don't know how many rich people in the world are proud to buy real estate here.

Every year, I don't know how many people squeeze their heads to buy tickets to Desert City.

With a curious Pokkis and Fairy Eevee, with the Kigeld cell core standing on his shoulder, Natsuhiko stepped off the ship.

What greeted me was a hot and rough atmosphere.

There's a reason why this desert-like city is so popular.

Then.

A young and beautiful woman dressed in tour guide costumes, with a sweet smile, greeted her as soon as possible.

"Sir, do you need a guide?"

...

...

on the streets.

Rows of high-rise buildings, all kinds of pedestrians from all over the world, different shapes.

They are also more or less accompanied by some elves from different regions.

While traveling on vacation, you can enhance your relationship at the same time.

"Bu Te ~~"

"Cha Ke Bab~~"

Fairies Eevee and Porkis looked around curiously, taking a bite of the donut in their hands from time to time.

Donuts are the most famous delicacy in Desert City, and the little ones won't miss it.

"Sir. Desert City has a history of more than 100 years. You don't think it's a city in the desert, but it's actually quite rich in resources. ”

The tour guide took Natsuhiko to learn about the various attractions of Desert City, and at the same time introduced the history of Desert City.

"Chakjot?"

Rich?

How can a city in the desert be rich?

Porkis was curious.

Xia Yan rubbed its head and explained, "It's oil and all kinds of ores. ”

Hearing this, the tour guide also smiled and nodded: "Yes." In addition to a large number of oil deposits around Desert City, there are also several fairly rare diamond and gem mines. ”

She continued: "You know that, Mr. Devon, right? ”

Xia Yan had a strange expression and nodded.

"In the desert city of Devon there is an oil deposit and two diamond deposits, and the annual tax paid to the town hall is quite an exaggerated amount of wealth."

Boy.

The German company, which started with ores, actually has an industry here, which Xia Yan did not expect.

Every time he felt that he had almost figured out the scale of the Daigo family's industry, he would soon feel that this seemed to be just the tip of the iceberg of their family.

The tour guide continued:

"In fact, more than 100 years ago, Desert City was really just a small town in the desert, and no one cared about it.

However, it is said that a very powerful spirit came to Desert City at that time, and it was worshiped by the inhabitants of the town, and that powerful elf also used a large amount of gold and silver treasures to fulfill the wishes of the residents of Desert Town at that time.

It was because of the wealth provided by that powerful elf that Desert Town was able to develop rapidly and evolve into the current Desert City. ”

The elf.

It's what Xia Yan doesn't really want to meet, the super demon god, Hupa!

"Bu Te Bu Babble?"

Is a powerful elf as strong as a needle bee?

Fairy Eevee was curious.

In this regard, Xia Yan could only flick his little brain melon.

What do you think?

No matter how strong the big needle bee is, it can't be compared to that guy now.

Not to mention.

Fundamentally, Khopa is a "trainer", right?

As he spoke, the smile on the guide's face gradually disappeared.

"It's a pity. At that time, the excessive popularity of the residents of Desert Town made the originally relatively simple and powerful elf gradually become irritable and gradually became victorious.

In order to show everyone how powerful it is, it even attracted powerful divine beasts, and a terrifying battle broke out in the desert town. ”

"But it's a good thing. A powerful traveler who inhabits the Valley of Creation, he created the legendary 'Pot of Punishment' and sealed the powerful elf so that the inhabitants of Desert Town could survive.

The residents, who realized their mistakes, put more energy into repairing the town and building it. ”

During the introduction, the group walked to the end of the road.

"Across the river, it's the outskirts of Desert City."

However, the eyes of Xia Yan and the elves were attracted by a towering tower at that end.

At the top, it has a golden structure that resembles a sundial.

As if noticing Xia Yan's gaze, the tour guide smiled and introduced:

"That's the Desert Tower, where I sealed the existence of a powerful elf, and it was there that I created the 'Pot of Punishment' that can seal that elf."

The production of the "Pot of Punishment" uses the power of Arceus, as well as the power of fire, earth, and water.

In Natsuhiko's impression, Gulis, who sealed Hupa, seemed to have used the power of the Fireball Slate, the Earth Slab, and the Water Drop Slate.

Otherwise.

How could it be possible to seal Hupa with the power of a human alone?

Up here.

The simple task of guiding the tour is almost complete.

Xia Yan suddenly asked, "You are a tour guide, you must be familiar with Desert City, right?" ”

"Of course."

Speaking of this, a trace of pride could not help but appear on the tour guide's face, "Since my great-grandfather's generation, our family has settled in Desert City. ”

"So, during this time, has anything special happened in Desert City?"

That's the real reason he needs a guide.

"Something special?"

It's just that, listening to Xia Yan's question, a trace of doubt appeared on the tour guide's face.

Instead, he fell into contemplation.

"If you have to say it....... It seems that there really is. ”

"Huh?"

Xia Yan's eyes lit up slightly.

"Hmm-" The tour guide pressed his chin and said slowly: "A few days ago, it should have been two or three days ago, a meteorite fell on the sand dunes west of Desert City. There is a special team for this purpose, and a research team has also been set up for this purpose.

However, they used a lot of manpower and material resources, but they couldn't find the meteorite, it is estimated that ...... I'm buried deep in the sand.

So these days they are busy raising professional equipment, and they will try to dig in the next two days. ”

"Ugh....... That's the special thing? ”

"Yes."

But the tour guide thought for a while and added: "But I don't know if it's because the meteorite fell and destroyed a certain ecological balance." Recently, the wild spirits in the desert around Desert City have become a bit irritable, and they will take the initiative to attack humans who go out sightseeing.

Sir, if you want to go out to enjoy the desert scenery, you should pay attention to this. ”

Wild Elves rioting?

That's kind of a thing.

Xia Yan nodded and said, "Okay." Thank you. ”

When the guide left, Xia Yan leaned on the railing by the river and looked at the huge city.

Two little ones are sitting next to them eating delicious donuts.

"Kiggled, do you notice anything?"

The Kigeld cell core on his shoulder shook his head.

[All of my cells here have been disconnected from me.] 】

That's the best proof that something has gone wrong in the city.

"Cloth, Cloth babbling!!"

Abrupt.

Fairy Eevee exclaimed.

It looked at the donut in its own satin in shock.

No, no?

"Cha Ke Babble!"

Fortunately, Pokkiss found the clue.

It pointed to the golden ring that appeared next to it.

Hand! A hand came out of it just now and took the doughnut wrapped in fairy Ebu silk.

Although the golden ring is now gone, Porkis is sure he definitely saw it.

Then.

The vanished golden ring reappeared, only to Pokkiss's side, aiming at the doughnut it was holding on its wings.

"Cha Ke Babble!!"

Seeing this, Pokkiss, who protects food, only has the share of other people's food, how can anyone else dare to rob its food?

Facing the outstretched hand, he did not hesitate to swing out two bright white arcs of air.

Bang bang!!

With Pokkiss's current strength, not all elves can withstand its attacks.

The hand that had just been stretched out immediately became bad.

"Fishing ——!!!"

A cry of pain came from the end of the golden ring as the small hand retracted.

"Cha Ke Babble!"

An angry Pokkiss snorted softly with his wings crossed his hips.

And Xia Yan, who watched the whole process, half-squinted his eyes.

This golden ring is a Hoopa thing.

Judging from its behavior just now, it seems to be ...... Hoopa hasn't been corrupted by the power of its original wrath?

Could it be that what happened in Desert City was not rooted in Hupa?

Otherwise, the problem arises according to Kigeld's description.

It's time for Kupa to go back to his original self, right?

In order to confirm the conjecture in my heart.

Natsuhiko throws out the Poké Ball and summons Hudi.

"Let's go."

Walk through the distorted space and come to a quaint courtyard.

Natsuhiko and Porkis also saw the guy who stole their doughnuts.

Super Demon God, Hupa!

More precisely, Hupa in the form of punishment.

Fishing for the little demon god.
