Pokémon: Master System.

…………

The whole family ate New Year's Eve dinner, then watched the Spring Festival Gala together for a while, and didn't go to sleep until the early hours of the morning.

Xia Yu returned to her bedroom to rest and finally had time to turn on her phone.

Long Yanning, Xiao Wanyu, Zhao Ruohan, and others all sent New Year's greetings.

Xia Yu replied to each message, and at the same time, he opened Douyin (TikTok) and posted a video wishing everyone a Happy New Year before slowly falling asleep.

Su Muzi, who lived next door, tossed and turned, unable to sleep, with a silly smile appearing on her face from time to time.

…………

Three o'clock in the morning.

In the pitch-black night sky of Starlight City, four Flying-type Pokémon sneaked into the city under the cover of darkness.

"This is Starlight City." The blond man wearing a golden crying mask looked down at Starlight City and said, "The Xia family is here."

His mask was engraved with the number 10, the Divine Coffin-10, which was none other than Kong Yanyi, the president of the Dawn Society, an old acquaintance of Xia Yu.

The other three were also wearing crying masks, but one wore a gold crying mask while the other two wore silver crying masks.

The Divine Coffin-4, as well as the Divine Coffin-4 Reserve and the Divine Coffin-10 Reserve.

"Today is the Chinese New Year, which is equivalent to our Christmas. Xia Yu is definitely at home." Kong Yan's gentle voice rang out, his gaze turning to the Divine Coffin-4 beside him: "Are you sure you want to make a move in China?"

“We need a scientific genius like Xia Yu.” The voice of Shenguan-4 rang out, revealing a hint of ruthlessness: “Even if we can’t have him, we must destroy him.”

"Alright," Kong Yan said, spreading his hands. "It's up to you."

Shencan-4 nodded and continued, "Our goal this time is to try our best to kidnap Xia Yu. Also, be careful of the Pokémon that looks like Gallade in Xia Yu's hand when we make our move. Shencan-12 fell into his hands."

Chapter 548 Raid

"Li Yunyao, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Southwest China, is also stationed in the Grass Insect Secret Realm. If we want to deal with Xia Yu, we must send someone to delay him." Kong Yanyi's voice rang out again, and then he looked at the three people in front of him.

“I’ll go.” Xu Xiu, a reserve member of the Divine Coffin-10, spoke softly, his deep voice ringing out.

“You… no, Li Yunyao is the king of flying, with high mobility and flexibility. You might not be able to get away if you go alone.” Kong Yan looked at Xu Xiu and shook his head slightly: “I’ll go instead. It’ll only delay you for ten minutes. We’ll meet at the agreed location after the mission is over.”

After Kong Yan finished speaking, he turned to the Divine Coffin-4 beside him and said, "The current time is 2:57 AM. We have ten minutes to prepare. We will launch our attack simultaneously at 3:07 AM, and we will retreat precisely at 3:17 AM. Is that alright?"

Shen Guan-4 nodded, and was about to speak when Xu Xiu's voice rang out again, revealing a strong sense of confidence: "I'll deal with Li Yunyao. Li Yunyao is no match for me. If I want to leave, he can't stop me, and I guarantee he won't have any chance to pursue me."

Hearing Xu Xiu's voice, Kong Yan was slightly surprised. He was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said, "It seems that your strength has improved a lot in the past six months. Since you are so confident, then you go and deal with Li Yunyao. The three of us will go and hunt down Xia Yu."

Shen Guan-4 frowned as he listened to the two men and said, "You've discussed it and decided to act quickly."

“Yes, it’s settled. He’ll hold off Li Yunyao, and I’ll deal with Xia Yu with you.” Kong Yan nodded in agreement, then turned to look at the Divine Coffin-4 reserve officer beside him.

He discovered that the Coffin-4 Reserve had remained completely silent from beginning to end, never uttering a single word, just like an invisible man, mysterious and shrouded in secrecy, making it impossible to discern his true identity.

…………

The origins of both Shen Guan-4 and Shen Guan-4 Reserve are quite mysterious.

Coffin-4, nicknamed "Professor" or "Mad Scientist," has an unknown identity, but many speculate that he is a foreign Pokémon researcher or a Pokémon professor.

He rarely appears in public and rarely participates in internal meetings and activities of the Divine Coffin Organization. He only shows up when there is scientific research involved.

He is only interested in content related to Pokémon research.

For example, artificial Pokémon. Back then, in order to obtain information about artificial Pokémon, he massacred Sylvia's entire family; Sylvia's father, Sainz Granger, the father of artificial Pokémon, died at his hands.

This operation was initiated by Shencan-4, which contacted him with the aim of capturing Xia Yu, the Pokémon Professor, and obtaining the secret of giant Pokémon.

They had been preparing for this operation for a long time. They deliberately chose to carry it out during the Spring Festival because Xia Yu was not in the capital at that time, so the safety level was the lowest, the vigilance was the lowest, and the success rate of the operation was the highest.

To ensure the success of the operation, Shen Guan-4 specially invited Kong Yanyi, a local Chinese, to assist him, and offered him a reward that Kong Yanyi could not refuse.

…………

It's quiet at night.

After a busy day, everyone in the Xia family fell into a deep sleep. Around 3 a.m. was the time when everyone was sound asleep.

Xia Yu was no exception. His chest rose and fell gently, clearly fast asleep, completely unaware that danger was approaching step by step.

However, Xia Yu was prepared for this situation. He slept during the night when Darkrai and Gengar were active, and he was responsible for nighttime vigilance.

The idle Darkrai suddenly sensed something was wrong. It seemed to have detected a strange energy approaching, but the energy was too weak for it to be 100% sure.

Darkrai emerged from the shadows, just about to leave the room to investigate.

Suddenly, a Poké Ball in Xia Yu's bag vibrated slightly, and the figure of Iron Warrior appeared in the room.

While a near-Champion Darkrai might not be able to accurately sense an enemy approaching, a near-Master Iron Warrior can perfectly accurately sense an enemy's approach.

The transition from champion level to near-master level is a process of rapid improvement in strength, especially in the mastery of energy, which reaches an unparalleled level.

Even the slightest change in energy can be detected.

The sudden commotion also startled Xia Yu awake.

Sleepy-eyed Xia Yu rubbed his eyes and looked at Darkrai and Iron Warrior who had appeared in the room, asking, "What time is it... what are you doing?"

"Big Brother said a powerful Pokémon is approaching." Darkrai's voice rang directly in Xia Yu's mind.

Hearing Darkrai's voice, Xia Yu instantly woke up. He immediately got out of bed and asked Darkrai in a low voice, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, my brother said they've gotten very close and are slowing down, approaching us slowly. They're obviously coming for us."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu was filled with shock and anger, and his expression turned gloomy.

Who is this person who seems to have ill intentions?

Moreover, there are quite a few people in the house right now, and if a fight breaks out later, they might get hurt by mistake!

“Darkrai, hide in my shadow first.”

"it is good."

Xia Yu rolled out of bed and was about to turn on the light when he suddenly realized that he absolutely could not turn on the light now. He then crept into his father's room next door in the dark.

"Dad! Mom!"

Xia Yu gently opened the door, walked to the bedside and called out twice, startling his sleeping parents half to death.

"you……"

"Shh!" Xia Yu quickly raised his finger, signaling his father to lower his voice, and whispered, "There are enemies outside who have infiltrated our neighborhood. They are very strong. Dad, get up quickly, and whatever you do, don't turn on the lights. Go wake up the others, and then immediately go to the basement to hide."

Upon hearing Xia Yu's words, Xia Yong immediately realized what was happening. He frowned and asked worriedly, "How many people are there? What's their strength?"

"Dad, don't worry about that, hurry up and wake up the others," Xia Yu said hurriedly.

"Okay. By the way, Su Muzi is next door, go and wake her up!" Xia Yu's mother reminded him from the other side.

"Okay, I'll go wake up Su Muzi, you guys go wake up the others!" Xia Yu nodded and immediately turned and ran towards Su Muzi's room.

…………

Xia Yu tiptoed to Su Muzi's room, only to find it locked.

"Unlock the lock, Iron Warrior," Xia Yu's voice rang out.

Iron Warrior used his superpower to silently open the door.

Xia Yu lowered his steps and quietly walked to Su Muzi's bedside.

Chapter 549 Deoxys

Su Muzi, dressed in a cute and playful pink pajama, was fast asleep with a faint smile on her lips.

Looking at the adorable Su Muzi, Xia Yu couldn't resist wanting to kiss her, but remembering that this was a crucial moment and business was more important, he quickly...

"Mu Zi... Mu Zi".

Xia Yu called out softly twice, but perhaps because the sound was too soft, Su Muzi didn't react at all.

"Wake up, wake up." Helpless, Xia Yu could only gently pat Su Muzi's round face a few times before she slowly woke up.

"Shh!" Xia Yu quickly covered Su Muzi's mouth and made a shushing gesture.

Su Muzi woke up in a daze, and before she could even come to her senses, she felt her mouth being gagged.

The pitch-black night made it impossible to see who was coming. Su Muzi's heart tightened, and she struggled fiercely, while simultaneously biting the large hand on her mouth.

"Holy crap... let go, it's... me!" Xia Yu gasped and quickly said, "Don't talk, listen to me."

Hearing Xia Yu's voice, Su Muzi realized it was Xia Yu and quickly let go, her voice trembling: "Xia... Yu... what... are you doing?"

Clearly, Xia Yu's sneaking into her room late at night instead of sleeping really startled Su Muzi, and she couldn't help but start having all sorts of wild thoughts.

Xia Yu... are you getting a little too thirsty?

The last time he gave me flowers, there was that thing mixed in. This time, Xia Yu actually sneaked into my room in the middle of the night.

Wait...didn't I lock the door?
