Pokémon: Master System.

"Jie!"

Darkrai let out a deep roar, and Dark-type energy tore through the sky. Two torrents of Dark-type energy followed Metagross closely from the left and right, flying towards Gigantamax Corviknight.

"boom!"

Dynamax Darkrai slammed into G-Max Corviknight. Darkrai's offensive capabilities were already terrifying after using Nasty Plot once, and with Dynamax Darkrai's effect of lowering its Special Defense, it inflicted horrific damage on G-Max Corviknight.

After a series of attacks, Gigantamax Corviknight was severely injured. Seeing this, Xia Yu knew the time was right and shouted loudly to Darkrai, "Darkrai, use consecutive Dark Void!"

One after another, enormous black energy orbs flew towards Gigantamax Corviknight, continuously plunging into its body. Already severely injured and with its stamina depleted, Gigantamax Corviknight could no longer withstand the relentless attacks from the Dark Hole and fell into a nightmare.

Chapter 510 Capturing! Gigantamax Corviknight

Xia Yu rode Charizard and quickly approached Gigantamax Corviknight's body.

At this moment, Gigantamax Corviknight had closed its eyes and fallen into the nightmare world. However, to Xia Yu's surprise, Gigantamax Corviknight's body was still floating in the air and did not fall down.

Seeing this, Xia Yu suddenly remembered the description of Gigantamax Corviknight.

When Corviknight Gigantamaxes, the updraft generated by the Gigantamax energy can lift its enormous wings, keeping it suspended in the air.

Therefore, as long as it remains in Gigantamax form, it can float indefinitely in the air.

The Gigantamax Corviknight in front of us is a permanent Gigantamax form, which means it can float in the air forever.

Xia Yu's breathing became rapid; he knew better than anyone what this meant.

The Gigantamax Corviknight in front of him was like a small floating island. Xia Yu completely transformed its broad and huge back into Team Rocket's base!

In this way, no one would have imagined that Team Rocket's base would be a mobile aerial fortress, and with the cruise ship-like shell on Gigantamax Laplace's back, it could also be transformed into a mobile sea fortress.

Like a rabbit with three burrows, the Rockets can now have both the sky and the sea as their home court!

Xia Yu's eyes gleamed, and he became more and more excited as he thought about it, but he quickly calmed down. The idea was good, but it was a huge project that would require enormous financial support.

money! money! money!

He needs a lot of money!

Xia Yu suddenly threw a special Gigantamax Poké Ball at Gigantamax Corviknight!

…………

As Xia Yu captured the Gigantamax Corviknight, the rift in the secret realm before them began to collapse.

"It's time to go, Yan Ning." Xia Yu turned to look at Long Yan Ning. From the beginning, she had been silently riding behind the three-headed dragon and watching the battle without affecting Xia Yu.

Long Yan Ning, standing behind him, glanced at Xia Yu with her eyes darting around. The Xia Yu who had just commanded the Pokémon in battle was completely different from the Xia Yu she had seen before.

People say that the most handsome men are those who are serious, and there's some truth to that.

Long Yanning looked at Xia Yu with admiration and affection, praising him generously: "Xia Yu, you are so amazing."

Xia Yu felt a mix of pride and shyness in his admiration for Long Yan Ning.

Almost all men enjoy the feeling of being worshipped by women, which is why so many men lose themselves in the constant "Brother, brother, you're so amazing" from scheming women.

Similarly, every woman enjoys being pampered by a man.

This is perhaps the best state of love.

"Hurry up, the Pokémon Association is very likely to discover that there is a secret rift here. We need to leave quickly and avoid being discovered."

"Ah."

…………

The journey through the mountains came to a perfect end. Xia Yu not only watched the romantic sunset with Long Yan Ning, but also received the unexpected surprise of obtaining a Gigantamax Corviknight.

Perhaps because the battle took place in the air, it did not cause a snowfall or a dreamlike, enchanting forest; it only stirred up strong winds, and the weather station issued a gale warning.

Apart from a very few individuals who seemed to sense something was amiss, no one discovered the rift in the secret realm.

Xia Yu and Long Yanning left Qianshan Forest Park with the crowd and returned to their apartment.

…………

"Xia Yu, change your clothes and go ahead and get busy. I'll go cook." Back at the apartment, Long Yan Ning thoughtfully put Xia Yu's clothes in the washing machine to wash them, while she tied on an apron and went to the kitchen to do her work.

She knew that Xia Yu would be very busy after just catching Gigantamax Corviknight, so even though she had many questions, she did not choose to bother him at this time. Instead, she acted as a good wife, cooking for him and trying her best to help him in her own way.

I don't need to help Xia Yu, I just want to avoid holding him back.

"Hmm." Xia Yu nodded. He did have a lot to do, the first being the placement of the Gigantamax Corviknight.

While each Gigantamax Pokémon is incredibly powerful, figuring out how to best utilize them is a major challenge.

Secondly, through these three secret realm rifts, Xia Yu also vaguely discovered the pattern of how the secret realm rifts appeared.

Firstly, the Secret Realm Rifts should not appear in the same place repeatedly, and each Secret Realm Rift is extremely far apart, so they should be distributed all over the world.

The first Gigantamax Lapras Secret Rift is in the southern sea of ​​China, the second is the Enchanted Forest Secret Rift in Shan State, and the third is the Gigantamax Corviknight Secret Rift in the Qianshan Forest Park in North China.

Based on these three points, and assuming that the distance between each secret realm rift is equal, Xia Yu speculates that at most one more secret realm rift will appear within China, and this location is most likely in the northwest region!

Xia Yu sketched and drew on the map, eventually marking a point in the northwest region, which he felt was the most likely location for the secret realm rift to appear.

Of course, this is just his speculation. After all, the mission description stated that there are a total of eighteen secret realms in the world. Excluding the Gigantamax Laplace secret realm in the waters of China and the unknown water-type secret realm, there are still sixteen secret realms left in the world.

If these sixteen secret realms and rifts were evenly distributed around the world, given the proportion of China's land area to the world's land area, there should be one or two of them.

There is already a Gigantamax Corviknight Rift in front of us. If there really is a second Rift, it is most likely to be in the Northwest region.

Xia Yu took a deep breath, frowned as he looked at the world map, and then put it away.

He has decided to have someone take the Wishing Star to wander around this spot, try their luck, and see if they can find a secret rift.

It would be great if we found it, but there's no loss if we don't.

Besides the location of the next secret realm rift, Xia Yu also needs to consider who this Gigantamax Corviknight belongs to.

To be honest, he planned to keep the Gigantamax Corviknight firmly in his own hands, or hand it over to Long Yanning!

On one hand, this Gigantamax Corviknight undoubtedly completes the final piece of the puzzle for the trade with Champion Meyer. Long Yanning had said she wanted to go with him to trade with Champion Meyer, but Long Yanning currently only has a Crystal Metagross with near-Champion strength given to her by Xia Yu.

Facing a veteran champion like Meyer, she is no match for her at all; even surviving is a problem. She desperately needs this Gigantamax Corviknight.

On the other hand, Xia Yu gave Xiao Wanyu a Gigantamax Brimwyn. If he didn't give Long Yanning a permanent Gigantamax Pokémon, it would be difficult to handle the situation if Long Yanning found out about Xiao Wanyu's situation later.

You have to treat everyone fairly. That's why Xia Yu gave Xiao Wanyu the Shiny Iron Dumbbell egg, and then gave it to Dragon Smoke Crystal Metagross.

This is called laying a solid foundation in advance and preventing problems before they occur. How could Xia Yu, the master of balance, make such a basic mistake?

Of course, there is another reason, which is the unique aerial fortress strategic value of Gigantamax Corviknight, which means that Xia Yu can only choose to control it himself or entrust it to a trustworthy person.

Chapter 511 New Year's Day is Approaching

"Dinner's ready... Xia Yu." Long Yan Ning's voice came from the kitchen, interrupting Xia Yu's thoughts.

"Coming." Xia Yu responded, rubbed his head, destroyed the world map in his hand, and then walked out of the room.

The aroma of food wafted through the air, filling the room and stimulating Xia Yu's taste buds, who had been starving all day.

"It smells so good." Taking a deep breath, Xia Yu praised without reservation. Spending so much time with Long Yan Ning gave him a feeling of home.

"Come and eat." Long Yanning smiled, took off her apron, and picked up a bowl to serve rice to Xia Yu.

…………

The two enjoyed their meal at the table, and Long Yanning took the opportunity to ask some simple questions.

For example, questions such as how Gigantamax Pokémon are created, and how many Gigantamax Pokémon are there in the world.

While eating, Xia Yu tried his best to answer her questions. The two chatted harmoniously for a while, and then Xia Yu looked at Long Yan Ning, changed the subject, and asked with a smile, "Yan Ning, do you want this Gigantamax Corviknight?"

Upon hearing Xia Yu's question, Long Yanning showed a surprised expression, clearly not expecting Xia Yu to give her this Gigantamax Corviknight.

After a moment of surprise, Long Yanning frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and finally shook her head and said, "Of course I want to. Everyone would want such a powerful Pokémon, but I don't think it's appropriate for you to give it to me."

“You said it yourself, many members of Team Rocket haven’t gotten a Gigantamax Pokémon yet. If you give it to a newcomer like me directly, those who have been with you for a long time will definitely have other ideas. You should give it to them first.” Long Yanning also wanted a Gigantamax Corviknight, but she knew that Xia Yu couldn’t act solely on his feelings and had to be fair in his rewards and punishments.

People like Xie Tianming, Gao Yanxin, and Sylvia, who have been with Xia Yu for a while, haven't gotten any Gigantamax Pokémon. How come she, a newcomer, got a Gigantamax Corviknight right after joining?

Hearing Long Yanning's words, Xia Yu nodded slightly.

Although he understood the reasoning behind Long Yanning's argument, he still wanted to keep Gigantamax Corviknight firmly in his own hands, given its unique strategic value.

“I know what you’re saying.” Xia Yu looked at Long Yanning and said, “It’s just that Gigantamax Corviknight’s ability to float in the air makes it very suitable for building Team Rocket’s aerial base, so I feel more at ease having it under my own control.”

"That……"

“So, this Gigantamax Corviknight is temporarily for you to use. If you perform well in this trade with Meyer, I will then rightfully give it to you. You…” Xia Yu thought for a moment and said, “Speaking of which, didn’t you want to work with me this time? I plan to split Team Rocket into two teams.”

"I will lead the first team to conduct the transaction with Mayer in the designated sea area."

"You will be the second group, hiding in the air, ready to provide support at any time. We'll discuss the personnel allocation between the two teams when we come down."

"It's up to you to decide." Long Yanning listened attentively to Xia Yu and replied with a smile.

…………

As time went by, Xia Yu's life became increasingly busy. He selected several suitable trading locations in the South China Sea and finally settled on an isolated island outside of China.
