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

According to the information Su Hao found, there are legends left behind by mythical beasts and mythical creatures in this world.

However, in modern times, none of the first-level gods have shown any trace of themselves, and the Alliance has searched all the secret realms where these divine beasts once lived but has not been able to find them.

Although the first-level gods have disappeared, the second-level gods and some mythical beasts still exist, and their presence can still be seen all over the world.

The Shenzhou Alliance itself worships three second-level gods: Water Lord, Fiery Emperor, and Thunder God. These three are also known as the Phoenix King Guard.

The neighboring Sakura Kingdom Alliance worships the Mythical Pokémon Zarude, while the Shenzhou Alliance's old rival, the United States Alliance, worships the three cloud gods: Tornado, Thundurus, and Landorus.

In addition, the Russian Federation worships three holy swordsmen, Gopaloon, Terakion, and Virizion, while only a few small federations do not receive the protection of these divine beasts.

Besides these mythical beasts, there are also mythical beasts like Latios and Latias that protect the side that has not established contact with these national alliances.

Compared to other cities, Shuizhou City has an additional waterway for travel.

The city has a well-developed network of waterways, making it accessible to most places. Instead of taking a boat, Su Hao decided to experience the unique features of this seaside city – water-based Pokémon rides.

He arrived at a shop that specializes in renting out Pokémon water rides.

He saw a young woman sitting in the shop who didn't look like the owner, playing a game. He figured she was probably helping her parents run the shop.

"Hello, do you still have Pokémon water mounts for rent?" Su Hao asked.

"Hmm, what did you say?"

Why is this girl so young yet a little hard of hearing? Seeing that she didn't seem to have heard him clearly, Su Hao repeated his purpose again.

This time, the girl heard clearly and stood up abruptly, saying, "Yes, yes, our main business is renting out water Pokémon. Our mount Pokémon have all undergone professional training and are all extremely obedient!"

Seeing that business was coming in, the girl immediately started promoting the product, her sales pitch was very skillful.

"Our store offers two types of Pokémon that can be used as water mounts: Lapras and Sharpedo."

"Laplace is gentle and very suitable for riding, but it will not go very fast. In contrast, Megalodon is more ferocious, but after training, it will not attack customers. Megalodon also swims much faster."

"Judging by your appearance, you must be a Pokémon Trainer, right? Both of your Pokémon possess considerable combat strength, making them perfect for riding out to sea to catch Pokémon!"

After thinking for a moment, Su Hao also considered going to the sea to see if there were any Pokémon he could convert.

"Let's go with Megalodon, rent it for three days."

"Okay! Please show your identification, guest. We will register it through the alliance system!"

As a mature industry chain, Pokémon, which rents out its rides, will naturally make contingency plans for some possible situations.

First, the renter must register with the league system before they can rent a Pokémon mount.

After paying the rent through iris recognition, the girl handed the Poké Ball containing Sharpedo to Su Hao.

Upon arriving at the waterway, Su Hao released Sharpedo from its Poké Ball.

Pokémon: Sharpedo

Attribute: [Water + Dark]

Gender: [♂]

Characteristic: [Rough skin]

Level: [30]

Items: [None]

Techniques: [Omitted]

A megalodon with the aura of an elite shark appeared in the waterway.

The Megalodon closely resembles a shark, with a bright blue and white body. Its upper and lower fins each have two and one notch, respectively.

It has red eyes and black gills on its sides, and its most distinctive feature is the yellow four-pointed star pattern on its head and tail.

This megalodon is characterized by its rough skin; its skin is so rough that it can cause bleeding if touched by a human. Therefore, this megalodon is wearing a specially designed riding suit.

Su Hao took out a water-type universal energy cube from his pocket and fed it to the Megalodon in the water.

The shark's little red eyes lit up. Usually, customers would just feed it Pokémon food, but customers who would feed it Energy Cubes were very rare, so it was a chance to make the most of it!

"Kaka~" Megalodon extended an invitation for Su Hao to come up.

Su Hao didn't stand on ceremony. After putting the small diamond and the blazing roaring tiger back into the luxury ball, he rode on it.

The Megalodon's body, which was floating on the surface of the water, sank slightly. After sensing that Su Hao was settled, the Megalodon decided to swim slower and take good care of this generous guest.

"You can swim faster!"

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice echoed in his mind. Megalodon looked around but couldn't see who was speaking.

"I'm on your back."

The sound was transmitted by Su Hao directly through the power of waveguides to telepathically communicate with the Megalodon, so the Megalodon naturally could not find the person speaking.

Realizing that the human in front of him could communicate directly with him, the Megalodon shot out like a torpedo at the speed Su Hao had instructed.

Chapter 44 The Water City Statue and the Journey to the Sea

"Wuhu~"

After awakening his Aura Power, Su Hao's physique gradually became that of a super rookie. Even the inertia and impact of the Megalodon swimming rapidly on the water did not pose any pressure to him.

This Megalodon has excellent driving skills; even when swimming at high speed, it can accurately avoid ships or mount Pokémon blocking its way.

And so, the man and the shark raced along the waterways of Mizushu City, arriving at their destination—the Water City Siblings Statue in the heart of Mizushu City—in just half the estimated time.

The statue was almost a replica of the Water Brothers and Sisters, and their appearances were basically the same as those that Su Hao knew.

Next to the statue of the Water Brothers and Sisters stands a monument that tells the legend of the Water Brothers and Sisters.

The stories on the statues and monuments of Latios and Latias were the same as those Su Hao knew. They might be new to others, but for him, the only purpose of coming here seemed to be taking pictures.

As Su Hao watched the crowds taking selfies in front of the two Infinite Pokémon statues, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

"I'll give it a try, there shouldn't be any problems, right?" he said hopefully.

Su Hao dispersed his waveguide power, and the invisible blue waveguide, unseen by ordinary people, slowly covered the monument. After a short while, there was no reaction.

He continued to extend the waveguide, attempting to reach the statues of the two Infinite Pokémon.

This time, instead of trying slowly, he directly manipulated a large number of waveguides to cover the statue of Latias, but there was still no response.

He removed the waveguide covering the Latias statue and then tried covering it again, but there was still no response.

After a moment of contemplation, he then directly covered both statues and monuments with waveguides simultaneously.

The instant the waveguide coverage was complete, time around Su Hao stopped!

"Hey?"

The colorful world before Su Hao's eyes suddenly turned black and white. After looking around, he made an astonishing judgment: time around him had stopped!

Su Hao suddenly realized that time had stopped because everything around him had suddenly faded and turned black and white. The hands of the hot girls and cool guys taking pictures in front of him were also frozen in mid-air, and even the small fountain nearby was frozen in mid-air.

After wandering around and looking at his surroundings, he felt troubled and regretful, realizing he shouldn't have been so reckless.

Just as Su Hao was struggling with what to do, a mature male voice, a mature and sexy voice, suddenly appeared in his mind.

【oh? 】

[Ah, so it's a human with the power of Aura.]

The one that made the short sound was a male voice, and the other was a female voice.

"Are you Latios and Latias?" Su Hao had a sudden inspiration and thought of a possibility.

[Yes, I am Latios.] Latios's voice is a very mature and steady male voice.

【I'm Latias~】Latias's voice, though that of an adult woman, carried a hint of teasing.

"Latios, Latios, I am very sorry to have disturbed you. I did not mean to."

In any case, Latios and Latias are far beyond his capabilities, so admitting defeat is the best course of action.

These two mythical beasts were clearly different from Latios and Latias, which he was familiar with; he could tell just by their voices.

Haha, brother, he's actually admitting his mistake!

Su Hao felt that Latias was acting strangely.

Latias, get serious.

Okay, human, what's your name?

When Latias suddenly asked his name, Su Hao quickly replied, "My name is Su Hao."

"Then let's not delay, Su Hao, we need your help." Latios's voice rang out.

"Me?" Su Hao was very puzzled. What could he do for these divine beasts now?

【Next, I'll explain~】Latias's somewhat cheerful voice rang out.

Here's the thing: a while ago, my brother and I went on a long trip.

While we were away, the island where the Heart Drops are kept was invaded.

The droplet of heart was hidden in a clip in another dimension.
