Pokémon: Master System.

Since winning the High School Cup and receiving the Pokémon Copier as a reward, Xia Yu has never used this item.

Even when facing a powerful Pokémon like Mewtwo, he never used it.

Because he had been waiting, waiting for a Pokémon that was qualified for him to use this item to appear.

In Xia Yu's mind, this Pokémon should at least be a legendary Pokémon.

When Xia Yu obtained the Dark Stone, he made two preparations: one was to try to gain Zekrom's approval and subdue it.

Another method is to use a Pokémon duplicator to directly duplicate a Zekrom.

When he saw Zekrom, he understood one thing: God Pokémon are absolutely impossible to capture.

The Dream God of the Dream Realm is like this, and so is the Dream God of Czechrom!

So he didn't hesitate to use the Pokémon Copier on Zekrom and created a copy of Zekrom.

Although the cloned Zekrom's aptitude dropped one level from god-level to quasi-god-level, quasi-god-level aptitude is already arguably invincible.

Maye!

Next time we meet, I'll definitely give you a surprise, and the same goes for the Divine Coffin!

…………

Xia Yu stretched his neck slightly and took out his phone to check the missed calls.

Xiao Wanyu, Long Yanning, and Su Muzi all gave him their phone numbers, but he didn't receive them because there was no cell phone signal in the secret realm.

After returning all the phone calls, Xia Yu got up and prepared to travel to Siam.

Just two days ago, he received a call from Jiang Yu, who said that the merger of Paradise Group into Team Rocket had encountered some difficulties.

Xia Yu originally planned to deal with the Paradise Group's affairs after the New Year, but now that he was in the Southwest region, he might as well take a trip to Siam.

Let's see what difficulties Jiang Yu has encountered, and while we're at it, let's head to the Northwest region with Jiang Yu to search for the secret rift.

…………

Just as Xia Yu was setting off for Siam, news of the Dragon Spiral Tower had already gone viral online.

A mysterious dragon spiral tower has been discovered in Southwest China.

Legendary Pokémon Zekrom Descends

The Most Dangerous Criminal, Sakaki and the Dragon Spiral Tower

…………

News about the Dragon Spiral Tower spread widely online, accompanied by blurry photos of the Dragon Spiral Tower in the secret realm.

Meanwhile, some eyewitnesses revealed online that the Dragon Spiral Tower is actually more like a trial tower. Each time you clear a level of the secret realm, you can get generous rewards, such as top-tier S-level items, spirit eggs, and so on.

These people also posted photos of the first level of the secret realm, revealing that the trials in this first level of the secret realm consisted of challenging psychic clay figures and bronze bells.

They claimed that as long as they could conquer the entire Dragon Spiral Tower, they would gain Zekrom's approval and become the legendary "Black Hero"!

The news caused a stir and immediately attracted attention in China and around the world.

Powerful individuals from all regions flocked to the Dragon Spiral Tower to participate in its trials.

…………

While everyone's attention was focused on the Dragon Spiral Tower, Xia Yu had already arrived alone in the Golden City of Siam.

A city that claims to be paved with gold, but in reality, it is a dangerous city.

…………

Tianyu Hospital.

Top floor private room.

Xia Yu pushed open the door and entered, his brows furrowing slightly as he looked at the scene inside.

In broad daylight, with the curtains drawn and the dim, ambiguous lighting, Jiang Yu sat on the sofa, surrounded by seven or eight scantily clad women. The table was laden with foreign liquor and beer.

"Boss." Seeing Xia Yu push the door open and enter, Jiang Yu quickly stood up, his face slightly flushed, and said to the woman beside him, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go keep the boss company."

Upon hearing Jiang Yu's order, the women beside him strode toward Xia Yu with their long legs.

Xia Yu waved his hand dismissively, refusing Jiang Yu's offer: "Let them all leave."

"Okay." Jiang Yu nodded, and waved his hand to send the women beside him away: "Get out, all of you, get out."

He was secretly wondering whether the quality of these girls was poor, or whether Boss Sakaki didn't like women.

As several women walked out of the room, Jiang Yu stood up and drew back the curtains: "Boss."

"Tell me, what difficulties have you encountered?" Xia Yu sat down on the sofa, crossed her legs, and looked at Jiang Yu.

“There are two main difficulties.” Jiang Yu took a deep breath and slowly said, “The first difficulty comes from within the group; my uncle wants to meet you.”

“He is the second largest shareholder of the group and also the general manager of Paradise Group. Normally, I am only responsible for improving the group's strength and acting as the face of Paradise Group, while the business operations of Paradise Group are handled by my uncle. He has a high reputation within the group, and this matter would be very difficult to handle without his approval.”

“But I’ve already convinced him, and he’s agreed. However, if possible, my uncle would like to… meet with you.”

"You told him about me?" Xia Yu frowned as she looked at Jiang Yu.

"No. I only told him that I had found a very powerful backer, but I didn't reveal your identity. My uncle is a cautious man by nature. His principle is never to do business with people he has never met. If I hadn't insisted on making the decision, he would never have agreed."

After speaking, Jiang Yu stood aside without saying a word, patiently waiting for Xia Yu to speak.

"What's the second difficulty? Let's talk about it together." Xia Yu didn't rush to answer, but continued to ask.

“The second difficulty requires your intervention, boss,” Jiang Yu said with a serious expression. “You know that our Paradise Group has never had a good reputation, and we do shady business.”

"The reason why our Paradise Group can establish itself in Golden City, Siam, is not only because of the deterrent effect of our own strength, but also because we have to pay protection money to the local forces in Golden City."

"Seventy percent of the Paradise Group's revenue will be given to them, thirty-five percent to the Xie family in Siam, and thirty-five percent to the champion of the southern region, Som."

After listening to Jiang Yu's words, Xia Yu's face showed a thoughtful expression. After thinking for a moment, she slowly said, "The first thing is that I can meet with your uncle. The time is set for tonight. You can make the arrangements. And I don't want anyone else to know my identity."

"Okay." Jiang Yu nodded, his heart finally at ease, and nodded seriously.

"The second thing. The Xie family and that Somme champion, please arrange a meeting for me, tonight with your uncle. We'll handle both matters together, and I'll talk to them personally."

"Okay," Jiang Yu replied.

"The third thing."

Hmm? Is there a third thing?

Just as Jiang Yu was looking puzzled, Xia Yu's voice rang out: "After we finish dealing with things here, you and I will go to the Northwest together."

Upon hearing the words "Northwest," Jiang Yu knew what Xia Yu was referring to, and unable to contain his excitement, he nodded: "Okay."

"Is there anything else?" Xia Yu asked.

"Boss, one last question," Jiang Yu said in a low voice, "There's a lot of talk about the Dragon Spiral Tower both domestically and internationally right now, saying that you opened it. Is that true?"

"Is the interior of the Dragon Spiral Tower really like what's said online, made up of many small dungeons, with rewards for clearing each level? Did you see Zekrom?"

Hearing Jiang Yu's question, Xia Yu looked at Jiang Yu, knowing that he was definitely curious about this legendary secret realm. He slowly nodded and said, "What's said online is true, and Zekrom is real too, but don't even think about entering the secret realm. Zekrom is a legendary Pokémon and cannot be caught by anyone. Moreover, the China Pokémon Association has already taken control of the secret realm. No one other than an insider has the right to enter it."

"Okay." Jiang Yu nodded, a regretful expression on his face. "Boss, I'll go talk to my uncle about meeting tonight. Should we find a few girls to keep you company?"

"no need."

into the night.

Under the cover of night, the Golden City is ablaze with neon lights and bustling with activity.

The night markets and bars were packed with young people and foreign tourists, even more so than during the day.

Golden Champs-Élysées Hotel, penthouse suite.

"Squeak."

The door was pushed open, and Xia Yu and Jiang Yu walked into the private room together.

The private room was huge, with a table full of dishes and expensive drinks.

Three middle-aged people were sitting at the large round table.

One of them was a middle-aged man with a wrinkled face, who looked to be about fifty or sixty years old. He was about 1.6 meters tall, wearing a pink suit and gold-rimmed glasses.

Another middle-aged man, around fifty years old, sat in the main seat. He had a neatly combed hairstyle and was dressed in a suit and tie.

The last middle-aged man looked slightly younger, around forty years old, tall and handsome.

When Jiang Yu and Xia Yu, who was wearing a mask, entered the private room, all three of them simultaneously looked at Xia Yu, searching their minds for information about her.

"Squeak."

The door closed, and Xia Yu and Jiang Yu sat down together, their gazes falling on the three of them.

"Jiang Yu!" The first to speak was the forty-year-old middle-aged man, Xie Shu'en, the head of the Xie family, whose tone was slightly teasing: "You've kept us waiting for quite a while now, we've been waiting for ten minutes already. You'll have to drink more later."

Then the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat slowly spoke, a smile appearing on his lips: "Little Jiang, you're late."
