Pokémon: Master System

"Xia Guanjun, what are your thoughts?" Seeing that everyone was silent, Mi Ye turned to Xia Yu and said, "Should we split up or go together? We shouldn't waste time on such trivial matters."

"I think either option is fine; the key is everyone's ability," Xia Yu said, looking at everyone. "What do you all think?"

"Let's split up," Jian Yi said after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, I'm fine with anything." Lü Tinghe said, still smiling at Xia Yu.

"Then let's split up and act separately," Feng Kuangyin said.

"Let's split up," Shi Chaozhong said. "If we can't win, we can always run away, right?"

Seeing that everyone had chosen to split up, Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "Then let's split up. By the way..."

As Xia Yu spoke, he took out five communicators from his pocket and handed them to the five people: "These are specially made secret realm communicators. They can be used to communicate within the secret realm and also have a location tracking function. Everyone must carry them with you at all times."

After Xia Yu finished speaking, he carefully observed everyone's reactions.

He brought up the secret realm communicator, clearly telling everyone that it had a location tracking function and was intended to test everyone.

To Xia Yu's disappointment, everyone accepted the secret realm communicator with normal expressions and even tested it in front of him, leaving Xia Yu with no clues.

This made Xia Yu wonder if there were any high-ranking traitors among the people in front of him.

If the five people in front of us are all innocent, then the traitor must be among the remaining people... No, we can't be sure yet.

We've only just entered the secret realm; we'll have to wait until this realm ends to confirm.

If someone's whereabouts and location don't match, or if their communicator is damaged or missing, that person is the prime suspect.

"In that case, let's split up and be careful!" As Xia Yu's voice fell, the other five waved and left in different directions.

Watching the group's figures disappear into the mountains, Xia Yu took out his communicator and contacted the Team Rocket members.

"This is Xia Yu. I have given them five communicators. You are to monitor their movements at all times. If anyone makes any unusual moves, report to me immediately." Xia Yu received a reply from Sylvia a moment after sending the message.

"Boss, the first batch of invading trainers have all been captured and taken to the Cave Prison..." Sylvia briefly reported the situation of the first wave of trainers who entered the secret realm, and then continued to send a message saying, "We have explored the entire secret realm in depth and have discovered several Paradox Pokémon groups. We have marked their coordinates."

"Vanilla and Zoroark have each led their own teams to capture the kings of these paradoxical Pokémon species."

"We also discovered a future-type mythical beast, the one you mentioned, Ironhead. Pipe and Hell from Group Six found it, but they didn't dare to approach it for fear of disturbing it. I've already sent you Ironhead's location."

Xia Yu looked at the message Sylvia sent, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Ironhead is the future species of Cobalion, with the attributes of Steel and Psychic.

This Pokémon is an offensive Pokémon, and its signature move is Rapid Blade, a Steel-type special move. Among the three legendary Pokémon from Future Spore, Iron Shell is considered a powerful one.

If it's a master-level Ironhead shell, it must never fall into the hands of others.

Xia Yu glanced at the marked location on the map and realized that his current location was not far from the area where Ironhead Shell appeared, so he could go and take a look. However, Xia Yu immediately discovered a very awkward problem.

That's the area where Ironhead appeared, which is exactly the direction that Jianyi Champion is heading, and Jianyi Champion's location on the map is constantly moving towards Ironhead's direction!

It's estimated that it won't be long before they encounter Ironhead.

Xia Yu hesitated for a moment, then chose to conceal his tracks and follow. At the same time, he sent a message to Zorroark, asking it to meet up with him in the area where Ironhead had appeared.

Jianyi rode her Pidgeot through the mountains, the summer breeze brushing past her ears, the afterglow of the setting sun bathing her in its warm glow, like a bright orange shawl draped over her shoulders.

Pidgeot's flight speed is not fast; in fact, it can be described as somewhat slow.

It spread its enormous wings and soared through the air, its golden eyes scanning the forest below, its attention focused on finding any potential enemies.

With its sharp eyesight, Pidgeot can clearly see every movement on the ground; even the slightest rustle of wind cannot escape its gaze.

Jianyi gently stroked the golden fur of the Pidgeot, her gaze falling on the area below. Her brows furrowed, her expression slightly grave, and her eyes filled with doubt and unease.

Ten minutes have passed since she entered the secret realm, but so far Jian Yi hasn't encountered a single trainer.

This made her feel something was amiss, and she vaguely sensed that something was wrong with this secret realm.

Because the weakest of the trainers in this batch are all champion-level powerhouses.

The battles of champion-level Pokémon are extremely loud, and can be detected even from several kilometers or even tens of kilometers away.

But so far, Jianyi hasn't encountered a single living person, let alone a trainer. She hasn't even found a Pidgeot with the Sharp Eyes ability. This secret realm is full of strangeness and unusualness.

"Hmm?" Jian Yi suddenly made a sound of doubt, then reached out and stroked Pidgeot's soft golden fur, as if talking to herself, "You found a strange Pokémon? It looks a lot like the legendary Pokémon Cobalion?"

"Take me to see it." As Jianyi's voice fell, Pidgeot spread its wings, its body surging with Flying-type energy, and then suddenly accelerated and swooped down.

The sound of sonic booms echoed in the air, and almost instantly, Jianyi rode Pidgeot down to a steep cliff halfway up the mountain.

"You just saw it walk in here?"

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Jian Yi kept asking the Pidgeot beneath her.

"Compare!"

The eagle emitted a sharp and high-pitched call in response to Jianyi, while constantly flapping its wings as if gesturing something.

"I believe you, I believe you." Jian Yi smiled and reassured Pidgeot, saying, "You can't be mistaken. Let's take a closer look around here. How could Cobalion have suddenly disappeared?"

Jianyi and Pidgeot began a thorough search along the cliff face, leaving no corner unchecked.

Since Pidgeot wasn't mistaken, it can only mean that there must be something special about this area that they haven't discovered yet. Otherwise, why would Cobalion suddenly disappear on the cliff face?

"what!"

As Jian Yi's surprised voice rang out, she was shocked to discover a cave covered by supernatural energy, leading directly to the underground world within the cave.

"This rock wall is fake; it's shrouded in supernatural energy. There's a cave entrance leading into the interior of the mountain!"
