Pokémon: Master System

"This underground cave is huge. I never imagined that such an underground world was hidden inside the mountain."

"These crystals... are they dissipated terrectilucent energy?"

"There is also some driving energy, but the level of this driving energy is not particularly high. The best is only C-level, which should be the driving energy that will be eliminated by future Pokémon."

…………

Following the trail left by Jian Yi, Xia Yu ventured deeper into the secret realm.

Soon he arrived in a dazzling, open underground world.

"These are iron tracks, iron arms, and iron bundles... all paradoxical Pokémon from the future."

Looking at the dazzling array of paradoxical Pokémon before him, Xia Yu's face showed a thoughtful expression, his brows furrowed.

Based on this, it seems that this underground world is similar to the Padia Crater, and the people living here are all paradoxical Pokémon from the future.

"We must keep this place firmly under control. Paradoxical Pokémon are comparable to Ultra Beasts, and we absolutely cannot let anyone else know about it!" Xia Yu thought to himself. "If we control this underground world, we can significantly increase the strength of Chinese trainers in just a few years!"

This is similar to the Four Gods Island incident a few years ago.

Although the United States suffered heavy losses and countless deaths due to Necrozma, with numerous civilians and Pokémon Association staff dying in the disaster, it also brought about rapid development for the United States!

The Four Gods Island not only preserves several Ultra Beast Realms, which can stably produce Ultra Beasts and form a sustainable Ultra Beast industry chain, but more importantly, the battle in the United States captured a large number of Ultra Beasts with Champion-level potential or above, which greatly increased the strength of United States trainers in just a few years.

This is the difference between ordinary and top-tier dungeons.

Ordinary dungeons can produce Pokémon with Champion or near-Master caliber potential at most, and can only nurture one Elite Four member or Champion. However, top-tier dungeons with enormous potential can support the rise of a nation!

Unfortunately, as of now, there are only a handful of secret realms that can be considered top-tier.

The last time a top-tier secret realm appeared in the world was on the Four Gods Island. Since then, for several years, no top-tier secret realm has appeared in the world.

This is why the appearance of the Mysterious Island of Wanli Shitang, Czechoslovakia, and the Dragon Slab has shaken the world!

Countries around the world are unwilling and even less willing to allow China to so easily acquire a powerful secret realm. Moreover, the Dragon Slab has a special symbolic meaning for China, and they do not want China to acquire the Dragon Slab again and produce another champion.

Xia Yu was lost in thought. If necessary, he would choose to confront Jian Yi.

Because Jian Yi was never Xia Yu's suspect, if we were to say who among all the champions was the least suspicious, it would definitely be Jian Yi.

This is also because Jian Yi is too young. She is only in her thirties now. If she were an undercover agent, she would have been in her twenties seven or eight years ago. How could she have been an undercover agent?

After making his decision, Xia Yu unconsciously quickened his pace. He continued to venture deeper into the underground world, his vision gradually opening up, and he encountered more and more future paradoxical Pokémon.

Only then did Xia Yu finally discover Jian Yi's whereabouts!

At the edge of this vast underground world, Jianyi stood beside Ironhead, reaching out to gently stroke its metallic body.

Seeing this, Xia Yu was slightly stunned, and Ironhead Shell also instantly discovered Xia Yu's whereabouts.

It immediately raised its head, took a step forward, and stood in front of Jian Yi, looking at Xia Yu with an icy expression, as if it had transformed into a heartless killing machine!

Seeing this, Xia Yu's face also showed a solemn expression, but he was not too afraid, because although the Iron-Headed Shell was powerful, it was still within a reasonable range and had not reached the quasi-god level.

"Woo!"

The iron-headed shell emitted a whimpering sound similar to that of a argali sheep, but with a hint of metallic quality.

Upon hearing Ironhead's cry, countless future Paradox Pokémon turned around and glared at Xia Yu with menacing eyes.

Their eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if they were looking at lambs to the slaughter.

Faced with the hostility of these Pokémon, Darkrai and Ironhide emerged from behind Xia Yu on either side and stood in front of him.

When the group of Pokémon saw Iron Warrior, their metallic faces showed surprise as they scrutinized the Iron Warrior standing in front of them. Clearly, they were extremely surprised to see Iron Warrior here, standing on the opposite side of them.

“Jianyi Champion, Ironhead.” Xia Yu’s voice rang out, his gaze sweeping over all the Future Paradox Pokémon around him.

“Ironhead, he’s my friend, his name is Xia Yu, and he means you no harm.” A pale blue light surged around Jian Yi, and the power of the Super type transformed into a gentle glow, like a gentle breeze and drizzle brushing over the group of Future Species Pokémon.

"Woo!"

Hearing Jian Yi's words, the Ironhead Shell let out another metallic wailing roar.

As the mournful sound echoed throughout the underground world, these future Pokémon scattered one by one.

Xia Yu looked on in surprise at the scene.

What was that blue light just now? It was Jianyi's superpower.

Sure enough, no champion is simple. I used to think that champions were just like that, just stronger. But now it seems that none of these champions are simple.

"Thank you for your help, Champion Jianyi." Xia Yu said with a smile, "What you just did was..."

"Superpower, one of the three great superpowers. You should be familiar with superpowers." Jian Yi readily admitted that she possessed Superpower: "Your two disciples, Cui Mu, have ordinary superpowers, and Xiao Yu has the power of the Everlasting Stone, right?"

"Mm." Xia Yu nodded.

“If we have time, we can have them join the superpower action team,” Jian Yi said with a smile.

"Superpower Action Team?" Xia Yu's face showed surprise, clearly this was another completely new term he had never heard of before.

"There are always some people in this world with special superpowers. Some are born with extraordinary abilities, while others need guidance and development to master them. By the way, I'm the captain of the Superpower Action Team. Duan Hongzhi was the previous captain. Also..."

Jianyi paused for a moment before smiling and continuing, "You also know the vice-captain of the Superpower Action Team."

"You mean Wei Yeqin?" Xia Yu immediately thought of Wei Yeqin and asked.

“He’s smart. He’s the vice-captain of both the Phantom Special Operations Team and the Superpowers Operations Team. I’ve been wanting to talk to you about having your two apprentices temporarily join the Superpowers Operations Team, but I haven’t found a suitable opportunity until today.”

Jian Yi smiled at Xia Yu, then her smile vanished abruptly: "Alright, Champion Xia. Now it's your turn to answer my question. Why did you come here? Were you following me?"
