Pokémon: Master System.

Completely ignoring her sexy attire, she engaged in a drinking contest with Xia Yu, and later Long Yanning was drinking alone until 1 a.m. before returning to her room to rest. Xia Yu, already half-drunk, rested on the bed for a while, and only after confirming that Long Yanning was asleep did he slip out of the guesthouse and stagger towards the back mountain.

If Xia Yu hadn't found a chance to slip away halfway through, he probably would have been drunk to the point of unconsciousness. But he was also feeling unwell, his stomach was churning, and he only felt much better after vomiting.

"I absolutely must not let Teacher Long drink alcohol in the future. She's just too crazy." Xia Yu secretly made up his mind that he would never let Teacher Long drink alcohol again.

Xia Yu walked along the winding mountain path for nearly 20 minutes before finally arriving at the cemetery behind the mountain. He stood drunk outside the iron fence, and in a daze, he grabbed the iron fence with his hands and suddenly jumped over into the cemetery.

"Damn it." Because he had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, Xia Yu slipped when he landed and almost fell flat on his face. Luckily, the forest lizard next to him was quick-witted and grabbed him, preventing him from making a fool of himself.

"Well done, Forest Lizard." Xia Yu patted the Forest Lizard on the shoulder and praised it in a low voice, "I'll definitely find you a beautiful wife in the future. How about that Milotic from last time?"

"Chamo!" the forest lizard cried out, but Xia Yu didn't understand what it meant. He could only sigh and think that he had to capture a Latias and a Latios as soon as possible to serve as his royal elf translators.

"Buzz Bat, you go scout ahead, the forest lizard and I will follow you," Xia Yu then said to the buzz bat in the air.

The night is the domain of the buzzing bat, where it can unleash its full potential.

Xia Yu only released Nombat and Grovyle. As for the poor Charmander, Xia Yu was kept in a Poké Ball because the flames on Charmander's tail were particularly noticeable in the dark. He couldn't be exposed while sneaking into the cemetery.

Xia Yu quickly moved forward according to the location on the one-time treasure finder, but after only a few steps, he heard a series of sounds, and it seemed that fighting was taking place ahead.

"Numbat!" Xia Yu and the forest lizard quickly followed, only to see that the Numbbat was attacking a Gastly!

Gastly is a Ghost-type Pokémon, extremely rare, and its final evolution, Gengar, is an even more powerful Pokémon. I never expected to encounter a Gastly in the graveyard.

"A Gastly with Gym Leader-level potential?! Its strength is at the Rare level." Xia Yu was surprised. Gym Leader-level Pokémon are extremely rare in the wild, and he never expected to encounter one in the graveyard. It was a pity that Xia Yu couldn't catch a Gym Leader-level Pokémon, otherwise he really wanted to catch one. Although its potential was a bit lacking, Ghost-type Pokémon have special uses, such as lurking in Xia Yu's shadow to protect him.

"Goblin, go help Nombat! Quickly take down this Gastly!" Seeing the Gastly suddenly appear and being blown by the cold wind, Xia Yu became much more alert and immediately commanded Growllin to help: "Use Dark Strike to the vitals!"

"Chamo." The forest lizard's wrist emitted a black light, Dark-type energy surged, and its body suddenly rushed forward, closing in on Gastly. The black Dark-type energy slashed at Gastly.

At the same time, Nombat also launched an attack, using the Wind Rush move, which sent a gust of wind slicing towards Gastly.

Faced with the combined attack of Nompt and Grovyle, Gastly was completely powerless against the difference in strength and was knocked down to the ground.

Xia Yu glanced at Gastly, feeling a pang of regret. He couldn't catch a Pokémon with Gym Leader potential, so he could only continue forward.

Along the way, Xia Yu frequently encountered Ghost-type Pokémon, which made him feel that something was wrong. These Ghost-type Pokémon generally had high potential, but their strength was very weak, at most only at the Rare level, which Xia Yu found very strange.

Xia Yu felt extremely regretful that he couldn't catch these wild Pokémon, which was truly frustrating.

After walking for a few minutes, Xia Yu, with the forest lizard and the buzzing bat, arrived at a tombstone.

Those who have abandoned me, the days of yesterday cannot be retained;

Those who trouble my mind, today is filled with worries.

A long wind carries wild geese across ten thousand miles; one can enjoy this view from a high tower.

Penglai's writings have the strength of the Jian'an period, and in the middle, Xiao Xie's style is also elegant.

With soaring spirits and boundless thoughts, we yearn to ascend to the heavens and gaze upon the bright moon.

You can't cut water with a knife; you can't drown your sorrows with a cup of wine.

Life is full of disappointments; tomorrow I'll let my hair down and drift away in a small boat.

The tombstone only has this one poem by Li Bai engraved on it, without even a signature, which is puzzling.

The signal from the treasure-hunting device came from under the tombstone, clearly indicating that the treasure was beneath it. Xia Yu bowed to the tombstone first, silently saying in his heart, "I'm sorry, I'm just borrowing your grave for a while."

"Forest lizard, help me dig it open. Buzzbat, go keep watch and let us know if anything happens," Xia Yu said in a low voice.

For the sake of the treasure, Xia Yu had no choice but to become a tomb raider, chanting Amitabha Buddha in his heart while having the forest lizard dig up the grave.

With the help of the forest lizard, they successfully dug through the soil in just a few minutes, revealing the golden coffin.

"Open it." Xia Yu looked at the golden coffin with some trepidation, but the forest lizard had no such concerns and directly lifted the coffin.

Inside the coffin was a white skeleton, and next to the skeleton were various rare treasures. Xia Yu's eyes immediately locked onto one of the treasures.

Hoopa's Judgment Jar (Damaged, Extremely Dangerous)

The Jar of Punishment was crafted from Arceus's life-giving powers of water, fire, and earth. However, it has been damaged over time, and its six golden rings have completely disappeared. Furthermore, all the earth-elemental life-giving power within the Jar has been lost, leaving only a small amount of water and fire-elemental life-giving power.

Because of the damage to the Judgment Pot, the core energy of Hoopa's Psychic, Ghost, and Dark types, which was sealed within it, is slowly leaking out, which will accelerate the growth of Psychic, Ghost, and Dark type Pokémon.

Currently, all Psychic-type energy has been leaked, with 0% remaining energy, 32% remaining Ghost-type core energy, and 100% remaining Dark-type core energy.

With only 32% of its core energy remaining, Ghost-type Pokémon can significantly accelerate their growth.

The Dark-type Core Energy is at 100%, which can greatly accelerate the growth of Dark-type Pokémon.

Arceus's limited Water and Fire-type Life Source power can improve the potential of Water and Fire-type Pokémon. However, the Punishment Pot will be completely destroyed after use.

[Triggering the quest, the Jar of Punishment]

This is a decision-making task; depending on the host's choices, different new tasks and development directions will emerge.

Choice: Please make a choice from the following options as soon as possible.

Option 1: Repair the Judgment Pot.

The Punishment Jar is severely damaged, but there is still a slim chance of repairing it.

Quest Requirements: Collect Arceus's Water, Fire, and Ground Life Forces to repair the Judgment Jar. This will unlock the Hoopa questline. Completing the final quest will reward you with a Judgment Jar Gold Ring (one-time use), which can summon any legendary Pokémon.

Option Two: Destroy the Jar of Punishment.

The leaked core power from the Judgment Jar gave birth to extremely powerful Ghost-type Pokémon. The Imperial City's Shiny Aegislash and Dusknoir were born from this, able to grow rapidly in a very short time by absorbing the Ghost-type core energy. Now, with the disappearance of Aegislash and Dusknoir, new Ghost-type Pokémon have begun absorbing Ghost-type core energy, resulting in the birth of many Ghost-type Pokémon in just a few days.

Mission Requirements: Consume the Ghost-type and Dark-type Core Energy within the Judgment Jar to accelerate the growth of Pokémon of the corresponding types. Then, consume the small amount of Water and Fire-type Life Source Power remaining on Arceus to completely destroy the Judgment Jar. No reward.

Chapter 94 Return to the Dragon Realm

The task of making a decision.

The two choices are very clear. The first choice is to repair the Punishment Jar. The task is quite difficult and requires collecting Arceus's three types of life essence power. However, the reward is also extremely generous, and you can directly reward a legendary Pokémon.

If Xia Yu were already an Elite Four level trainer, then he might be somewhat interested in this choice, but right now he's just a weakling, so it's best for him not to get involved in this kind of thing.

The second option is much simpler, but there is no reward, or rather, the process of completing the task itself is a reward.

Xia Yu made his decision without much thought. It was obvious that he should choose the second option. His current strength did not allow him to choose the first option. He rejected the system's empty promises and accepted some substantial rewards instead.

Besides, Xia Yu already has a quest lead about Latios and Latias. He shouldn't try to do too much at once, and a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Replenishing his strength is the most important thing right now.

In particular, the Ghost-type Core Energy in the second option accelerates the growth of Ghost-type Pokémon, which is crucial for Xia Yu and is extremely suitable for the unhatched Dragapult, allowing it to accelerate its growth.

As for Dark-type Core Energy, it's obvious that Xia Yu needs to catch a Dark-type Pokémon. Currently, there are only three Dark/Dragon-type Pokémon: Hydreigon, Guzzlord, and Roaring Moon.

Among them, Roaring Moon is an Ancient species of Salamence. Ancient and Future species Pokémon are called Paradox Pokémon, which have not yet been discovered in the current world. Obviously, this means that "Crimson Mirage" has not yet appeared. "Crimson Mirage" is the third god in Pokémon Sacred World who created Paradox Pokémon, and is also the legendary Pokémon that created Crystallize and Paradox Pokémon. (Latest information from Sacred World)

Since Roaring Moon cannot be captured, Xia Yu's choices are limited to Hydreigon and Guzzlord. Needless to say, these two Pokémon are extremely rare. First, Hydreigon is a pseudo-legendary Pokémon that is extremely difficult to obtain, and Xia Yu is unlikely to acquire it in a short period of time. Second, Guzzlord is an Ultra Beast, which is even more difficult to obtain than pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

This forced Xia Yu to consider that he could only catch Dark-type Pokémon after collecting all six Dragon-type Pokémon, or give them to his father and brother to use. However, it seemed that neither of them had any Dark-type Pokémon with good potential, so he could only wait and see.

For the time being, Xia Yu will likely be unable to use Dark-type Core Energy and will have to use Ghost-type Core Energy on Dragapult for now.

As for how to use the remaining life source power of Arceus with both water and fire attributes after solving the energy core problem, Xia Yu was also thinking about it. Obviously, the fire-type life source power core should be given to Charmander, but what about the water-type?

Kingdra? Dracovish? Milion?

Xia Yu shook his head, unable to think that far ahead for the time being, and could only take it one step at a time.

After storing the Punishment Jar in the system space, Xia Yu continued to have the forest lizards help him close the coffin, then fill it with soil, trying to keep it as intact as possible to avoid anyone discovering that someone had moved the coffin.

"Sorry, brother. I disturbed your sleep. It's okay, you can go back to sleep. I'm leaving." Xia Yu bowed to the tombstone again, then climbed over the iron fence with the forest lizard and returned to the hot spring inn.

Xia Yu quietly opened the door, went inside, and, not daring to turn on the light, tiptoed back to her room, where she then fell into a deep sleep.

…………

Two hours later, before dawn, around 5:30 in the morning, Xia Yu's alarm clock rang. With dark circles under his eyes and a haggard expression, he struggled to get out of bed, quickly washed up, changed his clothes, and then went to wake up Long Yanning.

Yesterday, Long Yanning repeatedly told Xia Yu that he must wake her up early this morning so that they could return to the Dragon's Secret Realm as soon as possible, which is why he set an alarm for 5:30 in the morning.

"Teacher Long, Teacher Long." Xia Yu knocked gently on the door, but there was no response from inside.

"Boom boom boom!"

Checking the time, Xia Yu had no choice but to knock on the door again, but this time his voice was much louder: "Teacher Long!"

The room remained completely silent. Seeing that no one responded for a long time, Xia Yu had no choice but to open the door. With a gentle twist, the door opened.

What does Teacher Long mean by this? Why is she so trusting of me that she doesn't even need to lock the door? Did I miss something?

Xia Yu put aside these chaotic thoughts, walked into the room, turned on the light, and saw that Teacher Long was still wearing the same clothes she wore at the hot spring yesterday, sleeping on the bed in an indecent position, with only a thin blanket covering her body, which could not cover her graceful figure.

Swallowing hard, Xia Yu walked up to Teacher Long and shouted, "Hey, Teacher Long, wake up! You're going to be late!"

"Hmm?" Long Yanning finally reacted when she heard Xia Yu's voice, letting out a soft hum in her sleep, her voice melodious: "Xia Yu? What are you doing in my room?"

"Teacher Long, we're going to be late! We have intensive training today. Call me to wake you up!" Xia Yu said loudly.

Upon waking up and hearing about the training camp, Long Yanning immediately regained consciousness. She remembered what happened last night and was startled. She quickly sat up and saw that she was still wearing the same clothes as last night, with Xia Yu standing to the side. Her face turned red, and she quickly covered her graceful body with the blanket.

"Ah! Get out, I'll get up right away."

"Okay, get up quickly, Teacher Long."

…………

At 6:30 a.m., Xia Yu and Long Yan Ning returned to the Dragon-type Secret Realm on time. Today, Xia Yu thoroughly experienced the feeling of traveling at lightning speed.

The security guard at the entrance of the Dragon Realm looked at Long Yanning and Xia Yu, who had rushed back early in the morning, with a strange expression. While he was shocked, he silently covered his face with a newspaper, lay down on the chair, and pretended that he had not seen anything.
