Pokémon: Master System.

Gigantamax Lapras responded to Greninja, then swung its body, braving the wind and rain, and plunged into the endless black fog.

…………

Dark fog filled the air.

The sea surged, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

When Gigantamax Laplace entered the Dead Sea, even its massive body began to be affected by the waves, rising and falling and tossing with the tide.

A chilling aura swept over us.

Through the glass window, Xia Yu could only see endless darkness and the ever-churning black mist, which, like an evil spirit, was filled with death and eeriness.

A bolt of lightning struck by chance, piercing through the black fog and illuminating the sea.

Pokémon skeletons floated on the sea, emitting a putrid, fishy smell.

Under Greninja's command, Gigantamax Lapras navigated the Dead Sea, constantly navigating its way through undercurrents and whirlpools.

After countless turns, the wind and waves gradually subsided, and the black fog gradually thinned.

The torrential rain gradually stopped, and the thunder subsided.

Xia Yu looked out the window. Behind Gigantamax Lapras was still an endless expanse of black mist and the occasional bolts of lightning, while in front of it, the view gradually opened up.

It was clear that they had also crossed the Sea of ​​Death and entered its core area.

Xia Yu frowned slightly, thinking to himself.

Without the guidance of Greninja from Succubus, even with Gigantamax Lapras, it might not have been able to enter the core area of ​​the Dead Sea.

Shui Yutu then came to the window, looked ahead with a flicker in her eyes, and said softly, "We've arrived... Our destination is just ahead. Yonghai Island."

Yonghai Island.

Xia Yu silently repeated these three words in his mind, certain that he had never heard of this name before.

"Let's speed up!" Shui Yutu's voice rang out.

…………

"Woo!"

The closer it got to Yonghai Island, the more excited Gigantamax Lapras became. It sensed the extremely rich water energy and couldn't help but let out a joyful cry, swinging its flippers and accelerating towards Yonghai Island.

As they got closer, the scenery on Yonghai Island in the distance became clearer and clearer.

The island of Yonghai is covered with lush vegetation, and the clear calls of Pokémon can be heard from time to time.

However, just as Gigantamax Lapras was about to approach the island of Eternal, it finally encountered an obstacle.

Beneath the surface, a host of Pokémon, including Spikeback, Milotic, Gyarados, and Kingdra, also discovered the intruder Gigantamax Lapras and approached it.

However, perhaps intimidated by Gigantamax Lapras's immense power, they did not launch an attack, but instead surrounded Gigantamax Lapras.

Looking at these tiny creatures in front of him, Xia Yu frowned, wondering whether he should let Gigantamax Lapras show its power and drive these Pokémon away.

At that moment, Greninja leaped down and landed steadily on the water's surface, letting out a warning cry towards the group of Pokémon.

Upon hearing Greninja's voice, all the Pokémon turned their attention to it, vaguely recognizing it as Greninja.

…………

After a few moments of negotiation, all the Water-type Pokémon retreated, making way for each other, and then submerged back beneath the surface of the sea.

Gigantamax Lapras continued swimming toward the shore and came to rest a moment later.

"Where are we going now?" Xia Yu turned to Shui Yutu and asked.

“There’s a shrine in the center of the island,” Succubus’s voice rang out. “If you defeat the Pokémon guarding this place, you can take the broken Water Drop Slab. Stay close to me.”

"Okay." Xia Yu nodded.

"Come out, Salamence." Suikoto released Salamence, then rode on its back: "Greninja, lead the way."

Greninja nodded, pushed off with its feet, and leaped into the forest.

"Follow them, Bloodwing Wyvern."

Upon hearing the command from the Water Jaguar, the Bloodwing Dragon flapped its wings and followed closely behind the Greninja into the jungle.

Xia Yu also released Metagross, lightly leaped onto its back, and followed behind the Bloodwing Dragon, flying into the jungle.

…………

Chapter 641 Guardian Pokémon

In the dense jungle.

The Koga Greninja frog leaps and bounds among the tree branches, moving forward swiftly.

Bloodwing Wyvern and Metagross followed closely behind it, weaving through the jungle.

A few minutes later, a light appeared at the edge of the jungle.

After passing through the jungle, the view suddenly opened up.

Bright sunshine, azure sky, and drifting white clouds.

They finally arrived at the center of Yonghai Island.

An ancient temple stands in the center, covered in moss, with green vines climbing on the gray brick walls.

Outside the temple was a patch of uneven, muddy ground, with puddles reflecting the clouds in the sky.

“We’ve arrived.” Shui Yutu looked at the temple before her, her expression solemn and complex.

The Greninja beside her leaped lightly, almost as if flying, across the muddy ground, and arrived at the starting point of the temple steps, then slowly walked up the steps.

Just then, from the depths of the temple, a figure slowly emerged from the temple, looking down at Greninja.

A slender body, a deep blue hue, a pink "scarf" wrapped around the neck, and a pair of eyes gazing intently at the crowd before him.

Another Greninja.

"coming."

Mizuyuu's gaze fell on the Greninja in front of her, and at the same time, her Greninja stopped and raised its head to look at the Greninja opposite it.

The flames of war burned in their eyes.

…………

A champion-level Greninja?

Is this the guardian of the broken, water-dripped stone slab?

Xia Yu frowned slightly. Its strength wasn't that great. He didn't even need to lift a finger; Succubus's champion-level Greninja was enough to handle it.

and many more……

Xia Yu's expression suddenly turned serious as he stared intently at the Greninja in front of him.

His eyes were sharp and piercing.

He was shocked to discover that the Greninja in front of him was different from the Greninja in the Water Oozu.

Because of this suddenly appearing Greninja, its ability description clearly states "Bond Transformation".

This means that this Greninja can... undergo a bond transformation just like Ash's Greninja.

The prerequisite is... that the bond between you and your trainer reaches a certain level!

What a blessed place this is!

Surprisingly, we encountered Greninja, which possesses the Bond Transformation ability.

Looking at the Greninja in front of him, Xia Yu was also very tempted and couldn't wait to catch it.

How can you come to the Pokémon world without catching a Greninja that can transform through Bond Phenomenon?

Even if I didn't get the broken water droplet slab, just getting this Greninja made the trip worthwhile.

Xia Yu suppressed his excitement and reached for the Poké Ball, wanting to make a move.

Just then, another Greninja emerged from the temple.

Compared to the Greninja from before, this Greninja is larger, more muscular, and stronger.

A Greninja with master-level strength?!

The item "Broken Water Drop Slab" also has the same characteristic... Bond Transformation.

Xia Yu gasped, looking at the newly appeared Greninja with a serious expression.

Fortunately, I haven't acted rashly yet. It seems that the Greninja that appeared earlier was just a decoy, and this Greninja should be the real guardian.

However, given the Greninja's formidable strength, even if I were to take action... it would be almost impossible for me to defeat it.

If Zekrom were stronger, he might have a chance, but... right now Zekrom only has the strength of a King-level being.

To defeat a Greninja with a Master-level weapon and a broken water-drop stone slab, one would need at least a near-Master level of strength, which seems like an impossible dream.

Xia Yu took a deep breath, then turned to look at Shui Yutu beside him. Just as he was about to speak, Shui Yutu's voice suddenly rang out: "Boss, you stand aside, you don't need to take action."

Xia Yu frowned upon hearing Shui Yutu's words.
