Pokémon: Master System.

"I don't know where the other two areas are. However, Dark, Ghost, and Psychic Pokémon live in Dream Castle, while Ice, Steel, Ground, and Rock Pokémon live in Frost Steel Cave."

As the two were talking, a series of noises suddenly came from ahead, which immediately alerted them.

Several strangely shaped Pokémon emerged from the mist.

Brimwyn, who has near-Elite Four level strength, the long-haired troll, who also has near-Elite Four level strength, and their children, the mischievous imp and Mibrim.

One of them, Mibrim, even has a talent level as high as Elite Four.

This untouched secret realm is indeed full of treasures. First, there was the Dream Fruit, and now Xia Yu has encountered the Heavenly King-level talent, Mibrim. Unfortunately, its parents are right next to it, so the possibility of Xia Yu subduing it is almost zero.

Just as Xia Yu discovered them, they also clearly discovered Xia Yu and his companions.

The long-haired trolls and Brimwyn immediately shielded their children behind them and warned Xia Yu and his companion.

The two Fairy-type Pokémon with near-Elite Four level strength gave Xia Yu and Long Yanning quite a headache. Even if they could win the battle, they were more worried about what would happen if they alerted other Pokémon.

What if a few more near-Elite Four level Pokémon appear?

Even though Xia Yu coveted Mibrim's Champion-level potential, he still knew what was important: "Gallade, tell them we mean no harm. We're leaving immediately."

Gallade nodded and then began to communicate with the two Pokémon.

The long-haired trolls and Brimwyn, carrying their children, naturally did not want to risk a conflict with Xia Yu and his group. Their eyes were fixed on Xia Yu and his companions, their gazes fierce, and they made threatening noises. They quickly left.

Xia Yu and Long Yanning quickened their pace and continued walking towards the center of the island. As they got closer to the center, the fog became thinner and thinner. Finally, after walking for a long time, they saw the silhouette of an ancient castle faintly visible in the white fog.

Dream Castle.

Chapter 181 Priest-12

Outside the dream castle.

Legend has it that the entrance to the dream world opens randomly, and only a very few people can enter it. Most of them remain in the dream world forever, turning into piles of bones. Only a very lucky few can leave alive, but without exception, those who leave the dream world alive become famous figures in the world.

The dream world is a place full of treasures.

"This is the Dream Castle?"

Xia Yu and Long Yanning looked up at the magnificent European-style castle, their hearts filled with awe. Like an emperor's palace, it was resplendent in gold and radiated a soft glow. Before the castle gates was a thousand-step white jade staircase.

The long, thousand-step staircase before me resembles a road leading to a divine kingdom.

Xia Yu couldn't help but wonder who built the castle in front of him, and who could build such a castle in the dream world.

"Can we use teleportation to go straight up?" Xia Yu looked at the thousand-step staircase with fear and wanted Gallade to use its psychic powers to carry him over the thousand steps.

Gallade shook its head. The closer it got to the castle, the denser the Psychic-type energy became, completely sealing off the surrounding space. Even Gallade couldn't use Instant Transmission.

"We'll have to walk up." Xia Yu sighed and was about to step onto the steps when he suddenly remembered that he still had Aiguanshi's elf egg in his backpack.

Because Indeedee is a Normal/Psychic-type Pokémon, and its potential is so good, Xia Yu was not comfortable leaving Indeedee's egg in the Dragon-type Secret Realm to hatch. Instead, he carried it in his bag with him. Similarly, Xia Yu also carried Scorbunny's egg in his bag.

The abundant Psychic-type energy surrounding us is essentially a natural energy nutrient solution, and it could even be said to be more effective than an energy nutrient solution. If we were to place Indeedee's Pokémon egg here to hatch, it would definitely be of great benefit to Indeedee's Pokémon egg.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu immediately took out the Pokémon egg of Indeedee. He found that the surrounding Psychic energy was flowing into it like a trickle, nourishing the Pokémon egg of Indeedee.

At the same time, Xia Yu also discovered that Ai Guanshi's aptitude had changed from Champion-level to Champion-level (growing). This made Xia Yu extremely excited. Sure enough, this kind of secret realm is full of opportunities and treasures.

Watching Xia Yu's actions, Long Yan Ning also focused her gaze on the Indeedee's Pokémon egg. Seeing the Psychic-type energy constantly gathering, she couldn't help but say, "If we can stay in Dream Castle long enough, your Indeedee's potential might grow to a terrifying level."

Xia Yu nodded, suppressing his excitement, and looked up at the steps in front of him.

Indeed, while such secret realms are fraught with danger, they also offer abundant opportunities. No wonder so many people are drawn to them like moths to a flame.

"Let's go, let's go up."

…………

Xia Yu stepped onto the first step. As his foot landed on the first step, he suddenly felt a sense of pilgrimage and couldn't help but want to prostrate himself in worship.

At the same time, he suddenly felt as if something in the sky above him was watching him, like a god looking down on a mortal. He was afraid and dared not look up, but this feeling only lasted for a moment before it disappeared.

Xia Yu looked up abruptly, only to find that there was nothing above him. Apart from the Dream Castle, there was no one or Pokémon present. However, the fear that had come from the depths of his soul was still very real, causing a chilling feeling to rise up in his heart and his body to tremble uncontrollably.

Cresselia, the goddess of dreams?

Xia Yu wasn't sure if he had just imagined it. He looked at Long Yanning beside him and found that Long Yanning's whole body was also trembling slightly. It was obvious that she felt the same way.

The two continued up the stairs, and with each step he took, he felt a shiver that came from the depths of his soul.

This made Xia Yu wonder if gods really existed in this world, only they were Pokémon.

…………

"Evil wave!"

After Xia Yu and his companion climbed more than ten steps, suddenly, a powerful wave of evil energy swept towards them from afar.

"Hold on!"

Gallade flashed forward, blocking Xia Yu and Long Yan Ning, raising a light shield to block the evil energy.

Xia Yu and Long Yanning immediately looked in the direction from which the evil energy was released, and they saw a figure, a figure wearing a mask.

The newcomer was tall, wearing a black sports jacket, with striking short gray hair, black sneakers, and a golden mask on his face.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the mask was actually made from a crying mask, with the Arabic numeral "12" engraved in the upper right corner.

Standing next to the masked man was an Umbreon with the strength of an Elite Four member. It was clear that the Dark Pulse from earlier was released by the Umbreon.

Xia Yu and Long Yanning searched their minds for suitable candidates to match the Elite Four-level Umbreon in front of them, but none of them could be identified.

"Xia Yu, I know you. The inventor of the exclusive Z-Move." The man's voice was slightly hoarse and mechanical, clearly indicating that he was wearing a voice changer and did not want to reveal his identity.

"Who are you?" Xia Yu asked the masked man with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, I'll spare your life. As for that woman, she can only die." The masked man's voice carried a hint of cruelty. His gaze fell on Long Yanning's exquisite face, and he licked his lips: "It's all your fault for coming to a place you shouldn't have come to."

"Come out, Gardevoir, Arcanine, Greninja, Dragonite."

The man released five more Pokémon, all of which were at least Elite Four level.

Gardevoir, a Champion-level powerhouse, stood to the man's left, Greninja, a near-Champion-level powerhouse, in front of them was Umbreon, and behind them was Arcanine, a Champion-level powerhouse over two meters tall, along with a near-Champion-level Dragonite flying in the air.

Such a terrifying lineup is enough to make one despair.

Aside from Gallade and Kommo-o, both at the Elite Four level, Xia Yu had no other Pokémon he could muster. Fine beads of sweat dotted his forehead as he racked his brains for a way to break the deadlock.

Mega Evolution? Dragon Z Crystal?

Xia Yu shook his head inwardly. Mega Evolution wasn't a god; at most, it would increase combat power by one level, but it was still no match for the man in front of him. The same applied to Dragon Z Crystal.

How to do?

Despair rose in Xia Yu's heart. He looked back at the Dream Castle and thought of Cresselia, the goddess of dreams. Was the only thing he could do but pray to the gods?

He was unwilling to accept it, and smiled bitterly to himself.

"Go up, Xia Yu." Long Yanning stood in front of Xia Yu and said calmly, once again protecting Xia Yu behind her.

Looking at Long Yanning's back, Xia Yu felt inexplicably moved. He then took a step forward, walked in front of Long Yanning, and shielded her behind him.

"Teacher Long, as the saying goes, things don't happen more than three times. This is the third time already. This time, you don't need to protect me."

As Xia Yu spoke, he raised the prop in his hand high, and it suddenly burst into a dazzling light!

A one-time-use prop: a time machine.

Shining brightly, like the sun, Xia Yu's consciousness followed the Poké Ball transported by the time machine through the torrent of time and space, and two branches appeared before him.

One branch is covered with countless crimson orbs of light, representing the ancient species.

On the other branch are countless golden orbs of light, representing the future species!

I must live! A strong determination erupted in Xia Yu's heart; he had to fight with everything he had to survive!

Xia Yu didn't care about the color of the light sphere; he could accept either a crimson or a golden one. What mattered to him was which sphere was the biggest and brightest!

Because only the largest and brightest ball of light is the strongest Pokémon and can save him!

"Go ahead, Poke Ball!"

The Poké Ball, transported by the time machine, aimed at the largest and brightest Poké Ball and flew towards it, firing a red beam that captured it. Then, time began to rewind, carrying Xia Yu's consciousness and the Poké Ball back through the torrent of time!

The light faded, and a red and white Poké Ball appeared in front of Xia Yu, landing on the ground.
