Pokémon: Master System

The slope of the tunnel gradually descended, and the darkness ahead was no longer a hard barrier, but became deep and gentle, occasionally flashing with unusually dazzling light, as if it were breathing in some unknown energy.

Amidst this gradual shift in sensory perception, Jianyi continues to delve deeper into the underground world.

"Clap!"

Jianyi seemed to have stepped on some kind of cylindrical object, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, a pale blue energy surged from her body, helping her to stabilize herself.

Jian Yi frowned and bent down to look at the culprit that had almost made her fall.

This is a cylindrical mechanical device with a futuristic feel, its overall design blending hardcore mechanical elements with a starry, cosmic aesthetic.

Its appearance is predominantly gray-orange, and it has a symmetrical cylindrical shape.

The two ends are orange-yellow mechanical "canopies" with striking red triangular markings on the surface, resembling energy locks or function switches. The main body in the middle is made of dark gray metal with delicate mechanical textures, giving it a hard and precise feel.

Its core area is a transparent cabin embedded in the center of the device, inside which floats a purple-blue nebula-like light cluster. The twinkling light points are like a microcosm of the starry sky, as if sealing in starlight energy.

What is this?

Jianyi picked up the item at her feet, examined it carefully, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

The object in her hand was clearly a mechanical creation, full of technological sophistication, and not naturally formed. Furthermore, she could clearly sense pure electrical energy emanating from this mysterious object.

"This cave is truly extraordinary. From the Gopaloo that appeared at the beginning, to the crystal that appears to be highly crystallized, and now this mysterious artifact... this secret realm holds too many secrets."

Jian Yi didn't know the specific purpose of the thing in her hand, so she could only keep it with her for the time being and ask Xia Yu when she took it out.

Of course, if Xia Yu were here, he would immediately recognize that the item in Jian Yi's hand was the Drive Energy, the exclusive item for Future Pokémon.

Jianyi continued to venture deeper into the underground world with the Crystal Lamp Spirit. Unexpectedly, as she took a step, the surface beneath her feet suddenly became incredibly flat.

After descending all the way down, we finally arrived at a flat and open area. At the same time, some faint lights appeared ahead.

Jian Yi continued forward in the direction of the light, and the vast, dazzling crystal underground world gradually appeared before her eyes, with no further obstacles.

"What kind of Pokémon are these?!"

What comes into view is a group of special and somewhat strange Pokémon.

Their skin looked as if it were coated with a metallic layer, shimmering with a faint luster, and you could see some resemblance to Pokémon on them, but only about 70-80%.

Delibird, Donphan, Ironhide... and Xia Yu's signature Pokémon, Iron Warrior.

The moment Jianyi saw these Pokémon, she couldn't even breathe.

She could sense immense power emanating from these Pokémon; even the weakest of all the Pokémon present possessed the strength of an Elite Four member!

"Roar!"

Just then, Jianyi saw two very special Pokémon.

One of them was a special Pokémon similar to Iron Fist Warrior, except that its entire body was covered in a dazzling crystal luster, shimmering with a dazzling light that illuminated the entire underground cave, and it had a huge electric-type crystallization symbol on its head.

"Typical crystallization?! This secret realm actually has typical crystallization!"

Jian Yi looked thoughtful, and then immediately thought of Xia Yu, who was known as the Father of Tai Crystallization!

Did Xia Yu come to this secret realm beforehand? Jian Yi couldn't help but wonder.

Because it was all too coincidental, she couldn't believe that such a coincidence could happen in this world.

She also didn't believe that Xia Yu could invent something like the Crystal Orb out of thin air, because the invention of Z-Moves, Mega Evolution, and Dynamax was all based on some kind of clue.

Z-Moves originate from Z Crystals, Mega Evolution from Mega Stones and Key Stones, and Dynamax from Pokémon that permanently Gigantamax. However, the new powerhouse Z Crystal introduced by the Dynamax Labs last year came without any warning.

There is no such ability as crystallization in the real world!

However, Xia Yu invented the Tai Crystallization, and everyone praised Xia Yu's genius. But compared to believing in Xia Yu's genius, Jian Yi still believed that Xia Yu had been to this secret realm.

Thinking of this, Jianyi's brows furrowed even more.

Because when one question is answered, an even bigger question often follows.

If Xia Yu really came to this secret realm, then why did it only appear today, and why is Xia Yu's behavior somewhat strange... Considering that she hasn't seen any of the trainers who were among the first to enter the secret realm so far.

Jianyi sensed that a huge conspiracy was looming over the entire secret realm.

She took a deep breath, not daring to think any further, and turned to look at another special Pokémon, a Pokémon that was 90% similar to Cobalion, but was not Cobalion.

This Pokémon's body is encased in a metallic shell, shimmering with starlight, giving it a kind and gentle appearance.

Its blue horns gleamed brightly, and mechanical patterns could be seen on its body, making it look like a mechanical Pokémon modified from Cobalion.

Just then, Ironhead also noticed Jianyi and the Crystal Lamp Spirit in the distance. It turned its head to look at them, its metallic eyes filled with doubt, as if it was wondering how Jianyi and the others had gotten here.

"Roar!"

As the hoarse, metallic cry of the Iron Helmet rang out, the other Future Paradox Pokémon all turned to look at Jianyi and Chandelure.

A sense of foreboding rose in Jianyi's heart!

She could clearly sense the intense hostility in the eyes of these Paradox Pokémon, which was the nature of all Paradox Pokémon.

"Crystal Chandelier Spirit...prepare to leave." Jian Yi took a deep breath and said to the Crystal Chandelier Spirit beside her.

Immediately afterwards, a pale blue light emanated from Jianyi's body once again, and Psychic-type energy surged towards the group of Future Species Pokémon in front of her like a tide, linking Jianyi's mind with theirs.

A strong killing intent instantly filled Jianyi's heart. She couldn't sense any emotion from these Paradox Pokémon; they were like cold killing machines, born for pure killing and battle.

This was the first time Jianyi had encountered such a terrifying Pokémon.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her nervousness, and then used her superpowers to gently caress the minds of these Pokémon, engaging in the purest form of spiritual communication with them.

"Hello, my name is Jian Yi, and this is my partner, the Crystal Chandelier Spirit."
