Pokémon: Master System.

Xia Yu isn't in the room? He didn't see Xia Yu when he passed by the training ground, but the intelligence he received said Xia Yu had just returned to the Dragon-type Secret Realm and hadn't left. Therefore, Xia Yu's location can only be within the forbidden area.

In the forbidden area, it seems that Anthony and his group, who are heading straight for the forbidden area, will inevitably encounter Xia Yu. If they fall into the hands of the Dawn Society, Xia Yu's fate will be uncertain.

The mysterious middle-aged man was slightly disappointed. He then walked to Xia Yu's desk, opened the drawer and began to search carefully, checking every item, but found nothing of interest.

His gaze swept over Xia Yu's trash can, which contained shredded pieces of paper that Xia Yu had torn up.

"Hudi, take out the scrap paper and put it together."

Alakazam's psychic powers surged, and shredded paper flew everywhere, instantly piecing together three complete sheets of paper in mid-air.

The mysterious middle-aged man carefully deciphered the first character: Lizard King, failure? Experiment!

Upon seeing the word "experiment," the mysterious middle-aged man felt a slight excitement and immediately looked down, only to nearly vomit blood.

He never expected that Xia Yu, the sixth brother, would be so cautious. He not only tore the paper to shreds, but also used a pen to black out all the writing on the paper.

That's professionalism!

However, this only made the mysterious middle-aged man more certain that the content on the back of the paper was absolutely important, so he decided to take all of Xia Yu's scraps of paper with him and go back to analyze them.

After searching the room again, the mysterious middle-aged man also found several novels with explicit content under Xia Yu's bed, along with a photograph.

The mysterious middle-aged man's gaze swept over the Buzzbat and Toothpick in the photo, lingered briefly on the Sparkling Charizard and the gigantic Sceptile King, and finally settled on the tiny Doronmesia.

Compared to the other Pokémon in the picture, this Dragapult is really small, but its color is different from a regular Dragapult! Shiny Dragapult!

This photo is a picture of Xia Yu and Long Yanning together!

Chapter 148 Secret Exposed

Imperial Capital University, laboratory.

Chi Hanqing took out the test report results, her eyes showing surprise. Her brows furrowed, and her gaze kept shifting between the report results and the cotton ball, looking deep in thought.

"Could there be a problem with the machine?" Chi Hanqing muttered to himself. "That's not right. This is a newly developed machine, the most advanced instrument in the world. Each one costs millions, and there are only two in the entire capital. It shouldn't be wrong. But how could a cotton ball have Heavenly King-level qualifications? Could there really be a problem?"

Aptitude testing has always been a challenge for all scientists. Even the most advanced instruments currently available have significant errors and limitations. For example, they can only test the aptitude of Pokémon of a certain type. This particular instrument can only test the aptitude of Fairy-type Pokémon, while the testing instrument in the Dragon-type Secret Realm can only test the aptitude of Dragon-type Pokémon. Furthermore, this instrument can only test the aptitude of Pokémon that have already hatched, not the aptitude of Pokémon eggs.

Long Yanning frowned slightly as she watched Chi Hanqing's actions, and couldn't help but ask, "What's with that expression?"

"See for yourself!" Chi Hanqing handed the test results report to Long Yanning.

The bold words "Heavenly King-level Qualification" on the test report were extremely eye-catching, and Long Yanning saw them at a glance. After reading the report, she looked down at the cute little cotton ball in her arms and found it hard to believe that this little guy actually had Heavenly King-level Qualification.

Just then, Chi Hanqing suddenly said, "Impossible, impossible, there must be something wrong. I'll test it again."

She still couldn't believe that a tiny Cotton Ball could have such high potential; the odds were just too low. It was like if a Metagross had Champion-level potential, she wouldn't be so surprised, but for a Pokémon as weak as Cotton Ball, the probability of it having Champion-level potential was at least one in ten thousand, no, perhaps even one in a hundred thousand or a million.

Chi Hanqing wanted to hug the cotton ball, but Long Yanning shook her head, put the cotton ball aside, and said with a flicker in her eyes, "No need to test it, it doesn't matter what its aptitude is."

In fact, she was already convinced that the cotton ball's aptitude was definitely at the Heavenly King level, and she was 90% certain that Xia Yu also knew that the cotton ball's aptitude was at the Heavenly King level, which was why he gave it to her.

Long Yan Ning recalled all of Xia Yu's Pokémon. Nombat had been tested and was guaranteed to have Champion-level potential. Just by looking at its size and the power it unleashed in battle, almost everyone knew that Sceptile had definitely Champion-level potential or higher. Then there were Charmeleon and Dragapult, two shiny Pokémon whose potential was definitely not bad either. Finally, she knew Axew's potential best; she had tested it with the power of dragons and it had near-Champion potential!

From this perspective, none of Xia Yu's five Pokémon currently possess any Pokémon with potential below the Elite Four level! What does this mean? As long as all five of Xia Yu's Pokémon grow up, becoming one of the Elite Four is a certainty, and he also has a very high chance of winning the championship. No one has ever been able to select Pokémon with potential above the Elite Four level as accurately as Xia Yu!

Furthermore, looking at the cotton ball that Xia Yu gave her, it also has the potential to be a Champion. Even the Pokémon that Xia Yu picked in the underground black market had the potential to be Champion. If it were just one Pokémon with the potential to be Champion or higher, it could be explained as a coincidence. However, all six Pokémon that Xia Yu picked were at least Champion level. Once or twice could be considered a coincidence, but six times can hardly be called a coincidence.

This means that Xia Yu may have unknown abilities, and may be a superhuman like her, who can roughly detect the potential of Pokémon.

The thought of this possibility made Long Yanning even more reluctant to let her best friend, Chi Hanqing, test the cotton ball's aptitude again. She was afraid that her clever best friend would discover Xia Yu's secret.

Xia Yu has not yet grown up. As the saying goes, the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind. He is still a tender seedling growing strong. I must keep this secret for him and not let anyone else know, not even Chi Hanqing, until he grows up one day.

"Yan Ning! Let me test it again!" Chi Hanqing raised his voice, looking at Long Yan Ning with a huff: "I'm testing the aptitude of the cotton ball for you. You can nurture it properly."

"No need, I'm a little hungry. Let's go get something to eat." Long Yanning abruptly changed the subject.

Long Yanning's eagerness to change the subject naturally couldn't fool the shrewd Chi Hanqing, who was as clever as a fox spirit. She didn't make things difficult for Long Yanning and didn't continue to beg Long Yanning to test the kapok ball's aptitude. Now, she was more curious about who gave her the kapok ball.

"Alright, if you don't want to test it, then don't. It's your Pokémon anyway. But Yan Ning, I'm really curious, who gave you this Cotton Ball?" Chi Hanqing leaned close to Long Yan Ning's ear and whispered, "Which rich young master is so generous as to give you a Cotton Ball with Champion-level potential just to pursue you?"

“You don’t know her, just a friend, a purely platonic friend. Let’s go, go get something to eat, that’ll shut you up,” Long Yanning said.

Chi Hanqing didn't believe a word Long Yanning said. First, judging from Long Yanning's tone, it must have been a gift from a man. Second, given Long Yanning's personality, if it were a gift from an ordinary male friend, she would definitely return it once she knew the quality of the cotton ball. Her personality meant she wouldn't easily accept gifts from men, especially valuable ones.

A person can be without arrogance, but not without integrity. Therefore, this person must be very special.

"Roar!"

Just then, people riding fire-breathing dragons sped across the sky.

"This is the Charizard squad of the Imperial Capital Survey Team."

Long Yanning and Chi Hanqing looked up at the sky, their brows furrowed. Under normal circumstances, the skies above the capital are no-fly zones, where private Pokémon are not allowed to fly, let alone at such a high speed, especially by a team of Charizards.

The two exchanged a glance, both knowing that something big was about to happen!

Just then, Long Yanning's phone rang. The caller ID showed Lin Xueyang's name, which made Long Yanning's heart skip a beat. She had a vague feeling that something bad was about to happen.

"Yan Ning, are Xiao Yu and you in the secret realm?" Lin Xueyang asked urgently.

"No, I'm outside. What happened?" Long Yanning couldn't help but ask.

"I just received news that the Dawn Society is attacking the Dragon-type Secret Realm, with a total of four powerful Elite Four level trainers." Lin Xueyang's tone became somewhat anxious as he said this: "Xiaoyu is still inside the Secret Realm."

"What?" Long Yanning's suddenly raised tone and solemn expression startled Chi Hanqing, who was standing to the side: "Isn't he still in the Flying System Secret Realm?"

“His plane will arrive at the secret realm this afternoon,” Lin Xueyang said.

"I'm going back right away!" Long Yanning became increasingly anxious, so she released the fire-breathing dragon and prepared to rush back to the secret realm.

"Don't go. The Dawn Society only sends Elite Four level trainers. It's too dangerous." Lin Xueyang quickly stopped him. "I'll be at the secret realm in ten minutes."

"My Kommo-o has broken through to the Elite Four level." Long Yan Ning said, then hung up the phone and climbed onto the back of Charizard.

"Charizard, back to the secret realm!" Long Yanning patted Charizard on the back, and Charizard immediately flapped its wings and flew towards the Dragon-type secret realm.

"Hey! Yan Ning! I haven't gotten on the bus yet! I haven't gotten on the bus yet?!"

Seeing Long Yanning abandon her, Chi Hanqing stood there dumbfounded, only to hear Long Yanning's voice carried on the wind: "I'll accompany you again next time, Hanqing."

Chapter 149 Grass-type Elite Four

The capital city, a secret realm of the ground system.

A man wrapped in a long, dark black down jacket, wearing a mask and hat, holding a cup of coffee, looked toward the entrance to the underground realm in the distance.

"the fourth."

He silently counted; this was the fourth near-Elite Four level trainer to fly out of the secret realm. Then he looked at the wristwatch on his wrist.

"Wait five more minutes before making your move."

Xu Xiu glanced at the time, picked up the coffee cup on the table, and took a small sip.

On a winter's day like this, being able to drink a hot cup of coffee is a delightful thing. His eyes swept over the headlines in the newspaper, and a smile appeared on his weathered face.

The "Grass and Insect Paradise" has opened to great success, attracting over 2 visitors on its first day.

"Xia Yong, you'll have to thank me properly next time we meet."

Xu Xiu recalled his younger days. He and Xia Yong were both ordinary people, common folk, but they took completely different paths.

If I could meet a good woman, find a good wife, and be with a good man like Xia Yong, would my life be different? Unfortunately, I am not Xia Yong, and the person I love is already dead.

Xu Xiu's only pursuit now is to keep climbing, to climb towards greater strength.

…………

The capital city, a secret realm of dragons.

The mysterious middle-aged man took the pieced-together shredded paper and the photo of Xia Yu and Long Yanning with him, and was about to turn and leave when Hu Di suddenly turned around and launched a mental attack on his back.

"Oh, looks like we've caught a big fish." A man dressed in luxurious attire appeared at the door, with a Champion-level Pokémon Serperior beside him (pictured above): "I didn't expect the Dawn Society to actually dare to attack the Dragon-type Secret Realm. Who are you? I don't think I've seen you before."

Su Mu, the youngest Elite Four member in South China and the only Grass-type Elite Four member in the entire country, has a ace Pokémon with Elite Four potential and the Contrarian ability, Serperior.

The mysterious middle-aged man looked at Su Mu, who had appeared there, without the slightest emotion behind his mask, and stared at him without saying a word.

"A Celestial-level Alakazam? That's quite rare. There's no one like you registered in the League. I'm curious, who are you?"

Su Mu is already forty years old this year, but as an actor, he looks only in his twenties or thirties. He has an outstanding temperament and looks like a handsome young man.

Dressed in a suit and tie, with a brooch pinned to his chest, he looked like he was going to a banquet, and his hairstyle was obviously carefully styled: "I don't want to fight, so I hope you can cooperate with me, raise your hands, put away your Pokémon, and take off your mask."

The mysterious middle-aged man remained silent. Although Su Mu seemed unreliable, no one dared to underestimate Su Mu's strength.

Seeing that the mysterious middle-aged man remained motionless, Su Mu shook his head, unbuttoned his cuffs, and loosened his tie: "Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to take action. Serpent Lord, Leaf Storm!"

As Su Mu's voice rang out, the Serpent Lord burst forth with a fluorescent green light, and countless leaves danced in the air, almost enveloping the entire room, surging towards Alakazam and the mysterious middle-aged man.

"Hudi, hold the line!"

Taking advantage of the moment when Alakazam blocked Leaf Storm, the mysterious middle-aged man suddenly opened the window, jumped down from it, and threw out a second Poké Ball.
