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

"Reverse Scale and Dragon Claw... Magic Flash sent him flying."

This crocodile has a strong Dragon-type bloodline and can use two Dragon-type moves with ease, so it's probably a Pokémon from the Spiral Rift.

The diamonds on Diancie's body instantly sparkled with countless dazzling rays of light, which she then bound into a shield around her. The next moment, the raptor, which had been attacking at lightning speed, slashed wildly at the dazzling magical light in front of Diancie, who was not dodging or avoiding the attack.

Sparks continued to ripple outwards, but the rogue crocodile seemed tireless, its eyes fixed on Diancie as it relentlessly slashed down.

This is so strange. Being rejected from its territory shouldn't make it seem like it's lost its mind and attacking nearby Pokémon... Also, that invisible black aura is something that Su Hao is very concerned about.

What exactly happened in the Spiral Realm?

Tianxi frowned as she looked at the rogue crocodile. For some reason, she couldn't help but feel a particular aversion to the rogue crocodile in its current state.

No longer passively defending, when the Magic Shining Shield swung away the dragon claw again, Diancie increased her floating height slightly, directly knocking the Rogue Crocodile away. At the same time, the Magic Shining Shield left a trench several tens of centimeters deep in the ground.

"Ow—"

This incredibly effective physical version of Dazzling Light left Crocodile like a turtle unable to turn over, belly up and unable to get up.

It looked like it had been hit hard. According to the law that wild Pokémon value their lives, it would either run away immediately or at least show some fear. The Rogue was still struggling to get up, its ferocity undiminished.

They acted like wild beasts that had lost their minds... Even though Pokémon are supposed to be intelligent beings with all sorts of emotions.

Su Hao only saw ferocity in the rogue crocodile.

"Use the power of the moon to incapacitate him first," Su Hao said, his brow furrowed and his face showing difficulty.

We'll deal with this rogue crocodile's situation later; let's weaken it for now.

Diancie nodded, and with a raised hand, fairy-type energy surged forth wildly. The light of the full moon shone down, and a beautiful yet destructive moon fell, with pink smoke rising everywhere.

As the smoke cleared, the rogue crocodile, its eyes darting around and its four legs in the air, lay motionless in the center of the crater blasted by the power of the moon. The black aura on its body miraculously disappeared under Su Hao's waveguide detection.

Tianxi nudged Su Hao, her beautiful pink eyes looking at him, and hesitated, "It's so strange. Just now, I felt a slight sense of disgust when I looked at him, but it didn't after the smoke cleared up."

Su Hao was secretly shocked. Did Diancie actually have different feelings for Rogue Crocodile?

The waveguide had already sensed two powerful auras rapidly approaching from not far away, and there was a waveguide that Su Hao seemed to recognize riding on the body of one of the powerful auras.

It seems the rescuers are traveling on Pokémon.

“Someone’s here. Let’s go back and discuss this further.” Su Hao crouched down slightly and gently stroked the diamond on Diancie’s head, speaking softly.

"Okay~"

Tianxi nodded and obediently returned to the luxury ball on her own.

Before that person arrived, Su Hao used Aura to ask, "Articuno, you saw what happened in the Master Ball, right?"

A moment later, Articuno's voice rang out: "I saw it."

After recounting the details of the black aura he "saw" using his waveguide and Diancie's inexplicable sense of disgust, Su Hao asked, "Do you have any clues about this seemingly irrational berserk state?"

He had a bad feeling that this dark aura had a powerful origin.

Articuno shook its head: "This is the first time I've seen something like this. Could it be some kind of strange disease...?"

“I know what you’re worried about, but the black aura you mentioned might just be the culprit behind Krookodile’s berserk state, while dark matter is what causes Pokémon to gradually change after being exposed to it, resulting in more obvious changes.”

"The specifics still need further investigation. I'll stop here for now; someone's coming."

After saying that, Articuno fell silent.

"Meow!"

A few dozen seconds later, the next moment after the feline cry rang out, a bright yellow bolt of lightning ripped through the air, leaving behind a burnt smell. A square-faced man appeared in front of Su Hao riding a Pokémon.

The square-faced man spoke up, "You've really worked hard to hold on until now. Now, leave the rest to me..."

"well--!?"

The man turned his gaze to Su Hao and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

At the same time, another green figure jumped down from the nearby tree canopy.

"Meow~?"

................

"Thank you for your hard work... Xiao Su, you really surprised me."

Li Xiang's voice was incredibly complex, his eyes darting around, scanning Su Hao's entire body from time to time, as if trying to confirm something.

Su Hao scratched his head, his tone as incredulous as Li Xiang's: "I'm surprised too, boss, you're actually a special investigator..."

The person in front of him was none other than the cat cafe owner that Su Hao had met before, the one who definitely had a side business.

Li Xiang was dressed in a blue special investigator uniform, which, combined with his broad shoulders and upright posture, made him look very imposing.

Next to Li Xiang were two Pokémon that could be classified as felines: a Velkhana of the early Gym Leader level and Dark Tong Dawei... no, Magic Mask Meowth.

While stroking the X-Rayet cat, which had sprawled out like a cat pancake, Su Hao asked with unwavering curiosity, "Boss, how did you know this place was under attack?"

Li Xiang glanced at the Magic Masked Meow, who was staring at Xeno'jiiva and Su Hao with eager anticipation, and then calmly blocked her view before saying seriously, "I am a wild Pokémon that was relegated from the Spiral Realm and was inexplicably extremely aggressive, and was assigned to the wilderness cleanup area."

"Then, I received an emergency rescue mission from the League Trainer app several kilometers away and rushed over."

"And you actually killed that professional-level late-stage Rogue Crocodile... Did you do that?"

"You're still a senior in high school, right?" Li Xiang kept scanning Su Hao.

"Or did someone else who was assigned the task take down the rogue crocodile?"

Li Xiang looked around, but saw no one else besides the passengers and driver in the now quiet bus.

"Task?"

Su Hao suddenly remembered that, apart from Li Xiang mentioning the word "mission" several times, his phone seemed to have made a similar notification sound before he got out of the car.

Thinking of this, Su Hao immediately took out his phone and opened it. The first thing he saw was a very conspicuous red dot lit up on the [League Trainer App].

He remembered that the official staff member who directly promoted him to elite-level trainer had asked him to download and register the app.

Once you open the app, the task requirements and target location navigation will pop up prominently.

After a quick glance, Su Hao was certain that the elite-level trainer Li Xiang was referring to was himself.

"If we're talking about elite-level trainers, it should be me," Su Hao said seriously, turning his phone screen towards Li Xiang.

"Ah...oh." Li Xiang was stunned at first, then he understood.

For the most outstanding senior high school students, obtaining an elite-level trainer certification should be no problem.

If this continues, it will just be like checking someone's household registration and having to explain everything again. But Su Hao can understand. After all, Li Xiang is an investigator, and it's normal for him to have his professional habits kick in sometimes.

He immediately changed the subject, saying, "This rogue crocodile just happened to be strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and it happened to be seriously injured. That's how I managed to hold it off until it was exhausted."

"Boss Li Xiang, I have a question I'd like to ask you." After saying that, Su Hao, like a scumbag, ignored Röntgen Cat's coquettish pleading and stood up.

"Okay, you say."

Li Xiang accepted Su Hao's explanation; as long as the person was saved, he didn't care what the truth was.

"Why was I automatically assigned this task...? It even has my exact location on it."

Su Hao didn't like being constantly tracked, as it felt like he was being monitored.

He even considered uninstalling the app, and he wasn't interested in the so-called "merit points" either; they were probably some kind of token.

"This...you don't know?" Li Xiang was stunned.

"I don't know. This app was asked to be downloaded a few days ago when I was getting certified as an elite trainer, and I haven't opened it since." Su Hao shook his head.

Li Xiang noticed that Su Hao was a little unhappy, and he said knowingly, "Well, this involves very complex rules. This location can only be activated by the intelligent system when an emergency occurs and the surrounding trainers need to be mobilized. No one else can access this private data."

"It's like the option to voluntarily accept emergency mission deployment; it's checked by default after downloading the app, but it's in a very prominent position on the homepage, so most people would turn it off."

At this point, Li Xiang pointed to Su Hao's phone screen, indicating that he should turn off the two options.

"I see, I understand now." Su Hao nodded and quickly closed the window.

With the attitude of seeing things through to the end, Li Xiang explained all the functions of the app to Su Hao and also taught Su Hao how to submit and complete tasks step by step.

"After the review, the Alliance Merit Points will be sent to your account. Since you were the one who put in the most effort this time, I'll transfer my 30 points reward directly to you."

Li Xiang directly transferred 30 Alliance Merit Points to Su Hao's account.

Su Hao did not refuse. He was indeed curious about the merit points, as Li Xiang said that they could be used to buy many things that could not be bought on the market.

For example, all sorts of bizarre and unofficial access qualifications, tutorials, and even resources related to mythical beasts.

Items like Entei's Flame, Zapdos's Feather, Suicune's Hair, Zarude's Vines, and the Unmelting Ice created by Icicle are extremely expensive.

However, Su Hao guessed that these were all legendary beasts from the legendary beast clan, which were nominally legendary beasts but were actually only much stronger than ordinary Pokémon, and did not have any authority.

Even the scraps from these mythical beasts can fetch so much money... Su Hao even considered plucking and selling the Articuno's feathers.

Next, Su Hao watched with wide eyes as Li Xiang transformed from a lazy, laid-back shop owner into a seemingly reliable alliance official.
