Pokémon: Master System.

If a Gigantamax Troll learns Light Screen and Reflect, it can abandon its offensive capabilities, create two walls, and focus on support.

Gigantamax Brimwyn learns Trick Room and creates a space to compensate for his speed disadvantage.

With the two Pokémon working together, Gigantamax Brimwyn can become an invincible turret. With just an endless stream of Magic Dazzling, it can overwhelm Xia Yu and Xiao Wanyu.

…………

Outside the narrow crevice of the secret realm.

The humid summer breeze blows, and even though it's late at night, you can still feel the heat.

"How is my sister doing lately?" Gao Yanxin asked Xie Tianming. Having been living abroad for a long time, he hadn't been home for a long time, and the last time he saw his sister and mother was a long time ago.

"They're all doing well," Xie Tianming replied. "I took some time out of my vacation last time to visit your family. They're living quite well now. Your sister is doing very well in her studies and is much more cheerful than before. Your mother also recently had eye surgery and is recovering quite well."

Ever since Xia Yu visited his home, he has been providing material assistance to her sister and mother, greatly improving their lives.

"Thank you," Gao Yanxin nodded and expressed his gratitude.

"Why are you thanking me? You should thank the boss," Xie Tianming said with a smile.

"Thank you both." Gao Yanxin smiled and looked at Xie Tianming, asking, "And you? What are your plans after the patrol team's training ends?"

"I don't know, I'll leave it to the boss."

As the two were talking, a sudden gust of wind came from the sky. They looked up sharply and saw several Flying-type Pokémon flying overhead. Fortunately, it was dark, so they were not spotted.

"Someone's coming! They're so fast!"

Xie Tianming and Gao Yanxin exchanged a glance, a hint of seriousness flashing in their eyes. Xie Tianming immediately took out his phone and made a call.

Although the narrow passage within the secret realm does have some impact on ordinary telephones, their telephones have been modified by Sylvia to shield them from the realm's influence within a certain distance.

Of course, these telephones are expensive to manufacture, but they can be lifesavers in critical moments!

…………

Within the secret realm.

With a loud bang, Gigantamax Brimwyn collapsed under the attack of a group of Pokémon, and Xia Yu and Xiao Wanyu smiled brightly.

Although they successfully defeated two Gigantamax Pokémon, they also paid a heavy price.

Of all the Pokémon, only Gigantamax Lapras is in relatively good condition; the other Pokémon are in quite poor condition.

Darkrai was seriously injured, as was the Iron Warrior.

Besides Mega Gardevoir, Xiao Wanyu's side also had Cresselia severely injured, and Hydreigon had long since lost its stamina.

Xia Yu then took out two Gigantamax Poké Balls and put Gigantamax Brim and Gigantamax Grimmsnarl into them.

Harvest!

The Gigantamax Grimmsnarl and Gigantamax Brimwyn are two extremely powerful Pokémon. With a little training time and by teaching them some key core skills, they can unleash tremendous combat power!

"Xia Yu, can I have a Gigantamax Brimwyn?" Xiao Wanyu looked up at Xia Yu, her bright eyes and white teeth captivating even in the night.

"Of course, you can have whichever Pokémon you want," Xia Yu replied with a smile.

…………

"beep."

As the two were talking, the phone suddenly rang, startling Xia Yu and Xiao Wanyu, whose expressions darkened slightly.

At this moment, Xie Tianming called, which must mean that something had happened outside the secret realm rift, and something bad had occurred!

"Hey."

"Boss, they're here. There are about four people, no more than six. They're all riding flying Pokémon, and we don't know their strength. They're waiting for you outside." Xie Tianming succinctly explained the situation: "They seem to be setting up something, probably a space-sealing device."

"I understand." Xia Yu nodded seriously. "You guys take care of yourselves first, don't worry about us."

"Ah."

…………

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu and Xiao Wanyu exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

Xia Yu's face was quite gloomy. It was obvious that these people were all after "Sakaki", and since they dared to cause trouble for him, these people must be quite strong.

They all possess at least the strength of champion-level Pokémon.

"After we leave the secret realm, you go first," Xia Yu said earnestly to Xiao Wanyu.

Of all Xiao Wanyu's Pokémon, only Mega Gardevoir was still capable of fighting; the others were either weaker or severely injured.

Xiao Wanyu's Mega Gardevoir is a Shiny Pokémon, which can be said to be her signature Pokémon. Once she uses it, it means that her identity will be exposed.

Exposing one's identity means utter disgrace and ruin, which is no different from death.

Similarly, Xia Yu cannot use Iron Warrior, which is also his signature Pokémon. Once he uses it, many people will know that "Gakki" is Xia Yu.

Therefore, Xiao Wanyu's presence here is actually of no use; she can only hold Xia Yu back.

“We can break through together.” Xiao Wanyu looked at Xia Yu seriously. Although from a rational point of view, she should have left without hesitation, she had reasons to stay.

Women are always emotional. Even the most rational woman can lose her rationality in love and become as passionate as a raging fire, especially a woman like Xiao Wanyu who has been single for so many years.

She looked at Xia Yu, who had a serious expression, and said, "I still have Togekiss and the others. They can help us break through."

Xia Yu shook his head and gently hugged Xiao Wanyu: "Since they dared to ambush me, they must have made ample preparations. Their strength is definitely not weak. Now that your main Pokémon have lost their fighting power, a Togekiss that is not even at the Champion level is of no use. Don't act rashly."

Xiao Wanyu took a deep breath, staring at Xia Yu. She was about to speak when Xia Yu waved his hand to interrupt her.

"You go first." Xia Yu smiled and looked at Xiao Wanyu, his tone relaxed: "I have my own way. Your staying here will only affect me. I have made full preparations and I will definitely be able to break through."

Seeing Xia Yu's confident demeanor, Xiao Wanyu's gaze held a hint of doubt, but Xia Yu continued, "Don't worry."

"You..." Xiao Wanyu wanted to say something more, but meeting Xia Yu's stern gaze, she could only change her tone: "Sigh, then you must be careful, I'll wait for you."

"Hmm." Although Xia Yu readily agreed, he wasn't entirely confident. If there were really four or five champions waiting for him outside, his chances of breaking through were really not high.

He said this only to comfort Xiao Wanyu.

Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, he won't give up.

"Wanyu, have your Cresselia heal my Pokémon's injuries as much as possible. We don't have much time left; this rift in the secret realm is already dissipating."

Chapter 416 A Deadly Intent Revealed

Outside the narrow crevice of the secret realm.

Four champion-level trainers gathered together, patiently waiting for "Gibbon" to appear.

"Has Sakaki already escaped?" asked one of the men, who was dark-skinned and had a strong build.

"No. He should still be in the rift in the secret realm," Qi Linlong said. "Wait patiently."

Qi Linlong is Qi Weiyi's father and the current head of the Qi family. Even though he is 55 years old, he is still in good health. Qi Linlong once served as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Southwest region, but he retired due to his age.

Before coming, he had researched information about Giant Pokémon and learned that they usually live in Secret Rifts. To catch these Giant Pokémon, one must enter a Secret Rift.

However, the underground black market has never been able to find a way to enter the secret realm rift, and even the person who provided the information does not know how they entered the secret realm rift.

…………

The leader of the four champion-level trainers in front of him is naturally Qi Linlong, who has a grudge against "Gibbon". His ace is a champion-level Typhlosion, and he only has this one champion-level Pokémon. But this time he also brought his father's champion-level Torkoal with the Sunlight ability!

Unfortunately, Torkoal's Solar Beam ability cannot be activated at night, which greatly reduces its strength.

The other three champion trainers are: Ungu, from Shan State, who is 55 years old, wears a Tang suit and cloth shoes, has gray hair, and whose signature Pokémon is Gothic with the Shadow Tag ability of the Psychic type. He is also one of the rulers of Shan State!

Dick, a champion-level Ghost-type trainer from Java, is also the youngest among them. He is 48 years old this year, but he has very dark circles under his eyes and looks somewhat weak. His ace Pokémon are the champion-level Woodpecker and the champion-level Sandstalker.

The last one is the muscular man who spoke at the beginning. He is Pachat, a well-known Fighting-type trainer from Siam. He is 53 years old this year, and his signature Pokémon is Blaziken, which has Champion-level strength. He is also a Fighting Master from Siam.

In addition to these six champion-level Pokémon, each of them also has two to three near-champion-level Pokémon, totaling more than a dozen Pokémon. They have laid a trap to capture "Gibbon"!

Just then, the four of them suddenly felt a powerful energy fluctuation that made them gasp for breath, as if time had stopped.

In just a moment, the feeling of suffocation disappeared, and then a fluorescent forest suddenly appeared in everyone's sight!

The seal on the narrow passage of the secret realm has been broken!

The four champion-level trainers immediately turned their gazes toward the fluorescent forest, their expressions solemn.

In the fluorescent forest that shimmered with dazzling light, a gigantic Lapras, as large as a giant cruise ship, appeared and slowly crawled on the land. Xia Yu sat on the head of the gigantic Lapras, looking down at everyone present and all the Pokémon.

Looking at the group of Pokémon with near-championship and champion-level strength in front of him, Xia Yu's mood grew heavier, but there was no fear on his face. He looked at everyone present and asked, "Were you waiting for me?"

Just as Xia Yu was speaking, a figure riding a Flying-type Pokémon sped away in the opposite direction.

"Don't let him get away!" Qi Linlong's voice rang out: "Stop him!"

"Laplace, absolute zero!"

As Xia Yu's voice rang out, a chilling aura surged forth, spreading rapidly in all directions. Feeling the biting cold, everyone glanced at "Sakaki" before them, then at the fleeing woman's back, and could only order them to abandon the pursuit and focus on dealing with Gigantamax Lapras.

Their target was Sakaki; as for the escapee, he was irrelevant—he ran away, so be it.

The icy energy spread like a shockwave, freezing everything in its path. All the flowers, grasses, and trees along the way were transformed into ice sculptures, sparkling like crystal.

Seeing this, Qi Linlong and the other three had grim expressions. Although they already knew how powerful Gigantamax Lapras was and had made ample preparations, they still felt a sense of powerlessness when they actually faced Gigantamax Lapras.
