Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

Having finished a day of exploration, Su Hao had no intention of staying overnight in the secret realm.

Retrieve the small diamond, release the Growlithe and ride on its back, and quickly move to the vicinity of the secret realm exit guarded by Alliance personnel.

After passing through security, Su Hao stepped into the secret realm passage again, and in a flash, he returned to Yang City.

After returning home in a Steel Raven taxi, Su Hao, exhausted from the day, didn't care about himself.

First, Litten was released. Since Litten is a Cat+Fire type Pokémon, it doesn't like taking baths, so Su Hao had to use soft sand as a sand bath to clean the dust left behind after the battle.

After giving the Firefly a sand bath, Su Hao released Little Diamond and used a special tool to clean and polish Little Diamond's mineral body.

After enjoying the spa treatment from its trainer, the Pokémon instantly transformed from its dusty appearance into something brand new.

After finishing cleaning the two Pokémon, Su Hao took a relaxing hot bath in the bathtub at home.

"Alive~"

Feeling refreshed after his bath, Su Hao whistled as he looked at his half-naked body in the mirror. Streamlined muscles covered his upright figure, exuding vitality.

Since awakening his Aura Power, Su Hao's already healthy body has grown stronger and stronger, with powerful strength hidden beneath his thin muscles.

After admiring his own physique, Su Hao changed into his pajamas, sat down at his desk, and began planning his subsequent training regimen.

First is Little Diamond. Currently, Little Diamond's overall strength is very comprehensive. Her ability to defeat the elite-level Scyther is also a testament to her strength.

If Little Diamond continues on its current path, it will grow into something very powerful.

Su Hao decided that from now on, he would mainly focus on training Little Diamond's energy control and move precision.

Next is Litten. Although Litten can currently outmaneuver its opponents with its agile body, its final evolution, Incineroar, is exceptionally gifted in terms of physical strength.

In the future, we should focus on training Litten's physical fitness to improve its overall health.

Special training can also be considered regarding the temperature of the flame, since the attack power of Fire-type Pokémon is largely related to the temperature and nature of the flame.

After finalizing the training plan, it was already 11 p.m.

The room, dimly lit by only a desk lamp, was quiet. Little Diamond, clutching a pink diamond, and the Fire-spotted Cat, nestled in its bed, were fast asleep.

Turning off the bedside lamp, the room was plunged into complete darkness. Su Hao groped his way to the bed in the dark and drifted off to sleep...

early morning.

The arrival of a group of uninvited guests added to the darkness of the Spiral Secret Realm at night.

"Boss, can this so-called little secret realm really hold information about those so-called 'gods'?"

A short man wearing a hood, whose face was obscured, asked a question to the person next to him.

"There's no mistake. Some time ago, the organization obtained some records while infiltrating an unopened ancient secret realm."

The person next to him answered in a hoarse voice, as if burned.

The two spoke in hushed tones as they walked through the forest.

Surprisingly, the forest is home to many Pokémon that are active even at night.

However, these normally very wary Pokémon acted as if they hadn't noticed the two at all, allowing them to pass through their territory and head towards the center of the forest.

Without any obstacles, the two quickly crossed the forest and arrived at the outer perimeter of the ancient building built on the lake—the Dragon Spiral Tower.

Using Pokémon to cross the lake, the two officially entered the Spiral Tower.

After some discussion, the two split up, one investigating the area above and the other investigating the area below.

The short man took a small machine out of his bag, fiddled with it for a while, and then the machine started running.

While searching through the machine, the short man complained, "I really don't understand. Not to mention that the organization has explored this dilapidated tower before, those hypocritical guys in the alliance have swept through it countless times."

"Now, based on a record whose authenticity is unknown, they've scattered all the members across various locations for a search."

Several hours passed quickly, and the two mysterious men were still...

Got nothing.

As dawn approaches, the protection of the night will soon fade.

The two had no choice but to erase all traces of their presence and quickly leave the Spiral Secret Realm.

At 8:30 a.m., Master Su, who had rested overnight, was making breakfast for Pokémon.

With some lotus seeds, some chocolate and rose hips, plus some ingredients that help the Fire Spotted Cat grow, a special spicy cat meal is ready!

Then Su Hao changed the ingredients and, using the same trick again, prepared breakfast for Little Diamond and a snack to reward Speed ​​Dog.

The breakfast was placed on the small table next to it, and the impatient Firefly immediately rushed over and began to feast.

The little diamond was chewing slowly and deliberately, a stark contrast to the fire-spotted cat gulping it down in a whirlwind.

Because the Arcanine was quite large, Su Hao specifically went outside to the yard before letting it out.

After finishing his extra meal for Arcanine, Su Hao recalled Arcanine into its Poké Ball and teleported back to the Sunrise Gym using a teleportation device specially installed in his home.

After finishing all his work, Su Hao was finally able to take a breather and sit down at the dining table to slowly enjoy his breakfast.

ten o'clock.

Su Hao was preparing to go to the largest department store in Yangcheng to pick out a gift for Firefly.

Little Diamond had received a Diancie Super Stone from the system gift pack as a joining gift, but Firefly didn't trigger the quest, so naturally Su Hao had to choose the joining gift himself.

Taking a Tutto taxi, Su Hao quickly arrived at the city's largest department store.

A large portion of the mall is dedicated to Pokémon-related businesses.

It sells not only items, food, energy cubes, and TMs, but also a range of businesses catering to Pokémon and their trainers, such as Pokémon beauty salons, restaurants, and bathhouses.

Su Hao's destination was the prop shop on the top floor, where he would choose a prop as a gift for Firefly.

After taking the elevator to the top floor, we entered the lavishly decorated store.

Seeing a customer enter, the sales assistant quickly walked up to Su Hao in her high heels.

"Hello sir, welcome to Qianda Mall. May I ask what you've come to buy today?" the sales assistant asked with a smile.

"I'd like to see your charcoal and soothing bells."

"Oh my! That's really a coincidence, sir. We just received a batch of high-quality charcoal and comfort bells yesterday. Would you like me to take you to choose some?" the sales assistant replied with feigned surprise.

With a sales assistant leading the way, Su Hao quickly navigated through the winding display cases and arrived at the counter where charcoal and comfort bells were stored.

"Sir, this batch of charcoal is a high-quality item carefully selected by the company. According to tests, it can increase the power of the Pokémon it's carrying by a full 10%. It's a rare and excellent product!"

The sales assistant held up a red velvet box, pointing to the exquisitely packaged "charcoal" inside, and enthusiastically promoted it.

Su Hao did not immediately accept the salesperson's pitch, but instead decided to take another look.

"I'd like to see your comfort bell again."

"Yes, sir. This soothing bell was crafted by a family of artisans with a long tradition of craftsmanship. Its sound is very clear and crisp. I believe your Pokémon will love it."

"Furthermore, our store offers customization services, including complimentary engraving services that are unique to you and your Pokémon."

Su Hao looked at the soothing bell in front of him. The workmanship was indeed exquisite, and the sound of the small silver bell was exceptionally pleasant.

He wasn't interested in the charcoal that the sales assistant was trying so hard to promote. After all, it was cute to put a bell on a kitten, and he could buy charcoal in the system right now, with a 10% higher effect than the charcoal he was buying, a 20% improvement.

He was more interested in the customized service of the soothing bells than the charcoal.

After asking the sales assistant if a soothing bell could be customized to his specifications and receiving an affirmative answer, Su Hao placed the order immediately.

With the sales assistant's genuine smile, Su Hao walked out of the department store and headed to his next destination.

Chapter 18 Flowing Water Dojo

After achieving his spending goals for the day, Su Hao headed to his second destination – the Ryusui Dojo.

Liushui Dojo is the family dojo of my friend Jiang Chengcheng, specializing in boxing techniques that are as continuous and powerful as flowing water, with each strike stronger than the last.

Su Hao's destination was to learn martial arts from a master, but not the martial arts of the dojo; instead, he was learning the power of wave guidance.

A few days ago, Su Hao confessed to his parents and two best friends that he had suddenly awakened his Aura power.

Unlike the excited Su family parents, Jiang Chengcheng asked in the group chat if she needed her family to help with introductions, since a waveguide master from the Shenzhou Alliance would be visiting Liushui Martial Arts School in a few days for exchanges.

Since the system awakened Su Hao's Aura power, his Aura has been growing every moment. In the half month since awakening, it has become more than twice as strong as when it was first awakened.

Although Su Hao had learned to use waveguides for detection and telepathy on his own, he still lacked some systematic knowledge.

Although Su's parents had said they would find a waveguide master to obtain a secret manual for Su Hao, after Su's parents made contact, through Jiang Chengcheng's introduction, Su Hao learned that a waveguide master would be going to the Liushui Dojo for an exchange today.

Su Hao's purpose for this trip was simple: to obtain an introductory manual. After all, the waveguide master family, which had accumulated such a long history, must have its own unique methods.

Upon arriving at the Ryusui Dojo, Su Hao gave Jiang Chengcheng a quick phone call.

Soon, Jiang Chengcheng, dressed in training clothes, led Su Hao into the dojo.

At this moment, on the fighting stage inside the dojo, an elderly man with gray hair but vigorous spirit was fighting against another muscular and strong man.

The old man's punches were continuous and progressive, forcing the strong man to passively defend or dodge the old man's attacks.
