Yamanashi Research Institute back mountain.

With the sound of heavy footsteps, the ground continued to shake, and the surrounding Pokémon felt the movement and quickly ran away before the other party approached.

And without these Pokémon blocking, the huge figure, more than two meters tall, with a pair of snow-white and thick fangs, resembling a mammoth but with a standard pig's nose, moved faster and faster.

On its broad back, Aoyagi sat quietly cross-legged, and Kikuno sat in front near his head, as if talking about something.

After a while, Kikuno slowly turned around and said, "The ivory pig said that he had smelled the super-iron tyrannosaurus, and that guy from Yamanashi should be there too." ”

Aoyagi glanced at the Pokémon under the seat when he heard this, nodded, and the blue illustrated book flashed in front of him.

【Race】Ivory pig

[Level] 50

……

[Status] has smelled the scent of his companions, and is running obligently.

……

Originally, in order to hurry to Xinqi Lake, Aoyagi proposed to let the Blue-Eyed Double Burst Dragon fly over with them, after all, it was much easier to fly.

However, she soon gave up because she did not have the contact information of Dr. Yamanashi and Miss Kimisa, and there was no map of the area, but fortunately, Ms. Kikuno also had an ivory pig with a pig's nose but a mammoth and a carty dog-like sense of smell.

Although it took a while to find it in the early days, with a level 50 foundation, they are not slow to advance.

However, after more than ten minutes, the frequency of the four elephant legs that accompanied the ivory pig's frantic movement slowed down, and even the smiling face that had been showing when running all this time was now restrained, and the expression was even more solemn.

I saw that the towering trees around me, which were already endless, were lying on the ground as if they had been broken by some terrifying force at this moment, which was also the reason for the Ivory Pig's speed.

And that's not all.

The most terrifying thing is that after walking a few dozen meters forward.

Suddenly...... In the verdant mountain forest, a completely empty area appeared, and all the flowers and trees were gone, leaving only a wasteland, and ...... A few remnants of a tree stump remain.

Aoyagi looked at the fractured surfaces that were incomplete and even mostly uneven, and his brow furrowed slightly.

Almost every stump is like this, indicating that it was not cut down or some other tool, but was broken directly by something carrying terrifying powers.

And Kikuno next to him seems to be surprised by this.

"It was Emlido who did it."

Aoyagi was silent for a moment and asked, "The aftermath of the battle?" ”

"Well, there's a good chance it is."

Kikuno nodded and said, "Generally speaking, the gods of the lake in the Sinnoh region are very good-tempered, and it is impossible to take the initiative to sabotage, and these are most likely affected by the energy that erupted when it started......"

Speaking of this, Kikuno couldn't help but sigh: "It's really terrifying......"

Aoyagi glanced around again.

Truly.

Just the aftermath, and Aoyagi also knew that it was the aftermath of the attack that erupted from the Emlido soul body, and it was able to raze this area of hundreds of meters to the ground, and the power of the move was unimaginable.

I'm afraid that even if it is a Balu Beast after the level skyrockets, if it performs those several energy absorption moves that are stacked together similar to the "Great Desolation Sutra", not to mention the range, the effect may be far from the damage caused by such aftermath.

And just as Aoyagi was still carefully observing with the panel, scanning the surroundings by the way, Kikuno looked at the scene in front of him, and whispered as if he was muttering and as if he was confused.

"In recent years, the strength of these guys has become stronger and stronger......"

Hearing this, Aoyagi's expression instantly became serious.

Hurriedly asked, "Ms. Kikuno, what you just said...... What is the meaning? ”

Kikuno slowly turned his head and looked at Aoyagi with some confusion: "What's wrong?" ”

"Are these guys you talking about the legendary Pokémon?"

"Yes."

Seeing the other party's confirmation, Aoyagi hurriedly asked: "Then what you just said about the legendary Pokémon has changed in recent years, so do you mean that the situation was different from now in the past few years?" Can you elaborate on that? ”

Although Kikuno was a little puzzled by Aoyagi's question, he still chose to answer seriously about this young man who had just met but had good potential and was willing to make friends.

"That's right, when I was young, I had just won the Lily of the Valley tournament that year and began to officially challenge for the seat that I couldn't retire, I heard the Four Heavenly Kings mention something.

"Some of them have defeated one of the Three Sacred Mushrooms, and some have sealed a legendary Pokémon in the harsh volcano of the North.

"But since the last ten years, it seems that the world has changed a little, and there have been fewer and fewer cases of defeating legendary Pokémon, and in the last five years, I haven't heard of a single one, and there are even rumors in the Hoenn and Kanto regions that four heavenly kings were killed by legendary Pokémon in one hit."

Speaking of this, Kikuno remembered the scene when she met Lokia before, even if she was an old Four Heavenly King who couldn't retreat, she didn't have any ability to parry and resist when facing the other party.

This is completely inconsistent with the information provided by the Johto area at the beginning, and combined with the current performance of Ai Lido in the Heart Qi Lake, this can't help but make Kikuno wonder.

Not to mention winning against Lokia, she is almost unsure whether she can win one of the gods of the lake now.

After listening to Kikuno's story, Aoyagi nodded and did not speak again.

This made Kikuno a little curious about Aoyagi's poor reaction before and after, but after thinking about it carefully, he still said, "Maybe it's just my delusion, or maybe the overall level of the current trainer is getting lower, which leads to the idea that the other party is getting stronger, so you don't have to spend time on these issues." ”

"Understood."

Aoyagi replied.

But inside, I have slowly had deeper thoughts.

Combined with Lokia's words at the time, the world is getting stronger, and they are getting stronger, which shows that Kikuno's feelings are not wrong.

It's not that the current trainers have become weaker, but that they are improving too fast, faster than the normal increase in value for so many years, which leads to this illusion.

And it seems that "they" are not satisfied with this speed, and are still desperate to become stronger.

The divine beasts that are the rules of the world are working so hard...... Aoyagi looked at the sky.

At this moment, in addition to the idea of wanting to become stronger and more urgent in his heart, Aoyagi suddenly felt ...... Above this head, there seems to be an invisible "hand".

Maybe the target of this hand is not him, but he is also within the reach of this hand.

"Except for the Sinnoh region, there are already evil organizations in other regions that have realized their plans and are starting to prepare for action? Or is it ...... Is it a visitor? ”

Thinking of this, Aoyagi slowly retracted his gaze, looked at Kikuno in front of him, and silently made a decision in his heart.

……

On the rest of the road, the ground was cleaner and smoother in the aftermath of Emlido's attack, and the Ivory Pig moved faster and faster.

After a while, we came to the edge of a huge lake.

At this moment, a cordon has been set up around Xinqi Lake, and at a distance, there are police officers stationed with Kati dogs with solemn expressions.

Most of these police officers, Aoyagi, have seen them at the gate of the Yamanashi Research Institute, or they have been surrounded by them, so they can be regarded as acquaintances.

In addition, the figure standing next to Aoyagi now is the Four Heavenly Kings of the Sinnoh region, one of the five most powerful combat forces on the surface of the Sinnoh Alliance, and the one who has served for the longest time.

The moment everyone present saw it, their faces became extremely respectful, and almost when they saw Kikuno passing by, they would greet them very formally and with a little admiration, and Kikuno nodded in response as usual.

Only Aoyagi, who was walking behind him, looked at Ms. Kikuno's tightly clenched hand after every greeting, and the slight twitch of the corners of her mouth, and she couldn't help it.

Especially after a very young newcomer gave a formal salute and said loudly, "Thank you very much for the presence of Lady Kikuno of the Four Heavenly Kings," and all the police officers in the vicinity repeated it loudly......

Especially these guys who were already loud said in unison, and in that scene, Aoyagi had already felt the murderous aura slowly emerging from Ms. Kikuno.

After a two-second silence for the lovely police officer, Aoyagi quickly caught up with the pace, and Ms. Kikuno, who no longer responded to the greeting, came to Dr. Yamanashi and Miss Kimisa.

At this moment, the sun rock and the moon stone were floating in the air, and Dr. Yamanashi first nodded at Aoyagi and then looked at Kikuno standing in front of him.

"Thank you so much this time."

"Humph!"

Kikuno didn't reply, but left directly after snorting coldly, leaving Dr. Yamanashi speechless and Miss Junsha staring blankly.

"Ms. Kikuno, is this?"

Miss Junsha looked at this scene and asked after hesitating for a moment.

"Leave her alone, it's an old problem."

Dr. Yamanashi naturally knew the bad temper of this old friend, and he didn't want to use it to know what was probably going on, so he skipped the question and said, "Aoyagi, how are you doing over there?" ”

"Thanks to Ms. Kikuno's help, it's all settled."

Aoyagi pointed to the three Pokémon hanging from the ivory pig and a short-haired woman in a trench coat.

"In addition, the stealth spaceship has also been destroyed by Ms. Kikuno, but there are a lot of people on it, so I didn't bring it if it wasn't too convenient."

Dr. Yamanashi nodded and said, "In this way, all the participants in this incident have been caught." ”

Following the direction of Dr. Yamanashi's finger, Aoyagi saw Konoshi in handcuffs, as well as several Pokémon that had been suppressed on the ground by a rhinoceros shaped Pokémon with two huge sharp horns on the top of their heads, which looked somewhat similar to the size of a drill rig and a shield machine.

And...... A few white bags on the side.

The bag was bulging, obviously containing something.

Based on the shape of the bag, it is possible to distinguish a human and three Pokémon inside.

"The free K and his three Pokémon, by the time we find them, they are all gone."

Dr. Yamanashi said slowly.

"This is also what they deserve, and they even want to do something to the legendary Pokémon in the Heart Qi Lake, it's just wishful thinking."

Miss Junsha glanced coldly at a few bags, for this kind of guy who caused a huge riot and huge losses, almost made Dr. Yamanashi abducted, and made her lose her job and future, being directly killed by the legendary Pokémon could not alleviate the anger in her heart at all.

But then thinking of the position she represented, saying such a remark was afraid that it would cause a bad repercussion, and hurriedly left after the two of them.

The nearby police officers are being transferred by Miss Junsha one after another to deal with various things, and Ms. Kikuno, who is not in a good mood, has completely disappeared.

Only Aoyagi and Dr. Yamanashi remained, and the topic of the two naturally returned to more personal issues.

"How's it going? The evolution of the blue-eyed white dragon? ”

"The evolution is going well, thank you very much for your help, Doctor." Aoyagi said seriously.

"You're welcome, I just did a little bit of what I was supposed to do, and...... Your success also represents my success, and the theory of morphomorphic evolution is very important to me at this stage, right...... How did it behave after evolution? ”

Dr. Yamanashi wondered.

"The combat power has reached an unimaginable level, and it is basically comparable to a Tyrannosaurus of the same level that has been slightly affected by the development of the acquired day."

"That's good!"

Dr. Yamanashi nodded with great satisfaction.

Previously, when the information of the blue-eyed white dragon was entered into the illustrated information, Aoyagi said that it evolved at least 3 times.

Now he can reach the level of a half-step quasi-god at one time, and the extent that he can achieve after the second or third time is unimaginable, surpassing the perfectly developed quasi-god, comparable to the legendary Pokémon is just around the corner.

Dr. Yamanashi seemed to have seen a bright future at this moment, and a smile slowly appeared on his paralyzed face.

Dr. Yamanashi and Dr. Yamanashi then exchanged a few questions, deepening the discussion of morphomorphic evolution and the development of the necessary questions afterwards.

Aoyagi took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and came to a corner alone, looking at the endless Heart Qi Lake in front of him.

"It's the first time I've seen such a wide and tranquil lake since the hidden fourth lake I've seen before, the Spring of Farewell."

As he spoke, Aoyagi clicked on the panel.

Lines of small blue print popped up quickly.

[Ancient traces detected...... Start exploring......]

【Exploring......】

【Target Detected - Xinqi Lake】

[The target has been locked, and the exploration is ......]

[Exploration Progress: 0%...... 17%…… 48%…… 79%…… 100%】

The progress bar is quickly charged, and the interface changes accordingly.

[Exploration completed, can be summoned,]

【Summoned Object - Random】

[Yes / No]

Aoyagi stopped, glanced around at no one, and after confirming that there were no Pokémon with the Pokédex, he clicked Yes.

If it's a Digimon, then just take it away, and if it's something else, put it in with the Divine Plan in the palm of your hand, and there's still a Digimon of Time in it anyway, so he doesn't have to worry about any choice.

As Aoyagi confirmed, a moment later, the small blue print reappeared.

[Confirmed Summon: Cunning Beast Digi Egg]
