Pokémon: Master System

Faced with Jian Yi's pointed question, Xia Yu took a deep breath, looked up at Jian Yi, and after a long silence, slowly said, "Champion Jian Yi, you guessed wrong. I have no ill intentions towards you, and I have not been following you."

"Whether there is malice or not cannot be determined by words alone." A faint blue light emanated from Jian Yi's body, surging towards Xia Yu like a tide, seemingly trying to probe Xia Yu's mind. However, before the blue light could get close to Xia Yu, it was blocked by Darkrai, who appeared.

“Xia Yu, even if you say you mean me no harm, your actions are still malicious. Words can lie, but actions don’t.” Jian Yi made her stance clear, looking at Xia Yu and saying, “Shouldn’t you explain your actions?”

"And... Xia Yu, why is there a Pokémon like Iron Warrior here?" Jian kept staring at Xia Yu, quietly waiting for him to continue.

“Jian Yi, the champion…” Xia Yu’s calm voice rang out, and the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up, revealing a smile as he stared at Jian Yi in front of him: “Your question is really sharp. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you here to silence you?”

"I'm afraid." Jian Yi answered without hesitation, "Of course I'm afraid, but what can I do?"

Jianyi smiled nonchalantly and looked at Xia Yu, saying, "Champion Xia Yu is already famous. If he wanted to kill me, I don't think I could escape, right? Besides... I haven't met a single trainer yet, which is quite strange."

"Champion Xia Yu... or rather, Giovanni, do you need to explain to me where the first batch of trainers went?"

Hearing Jian Yi's words, Xia Yu gave a wry smile and then slowly said, "Champion Jian Yi is truly insightful. It's not easy to fool you. But I really didn't follow you. I just received a message from my subordinates that there were traces of Ironhead here, so I came here."

"When I got here, I found that your secret realm communicator had lost signal. I was worried about your safety, so I started looking for you."

"As for your questions, I will answer them one by one." Xia Yu said, taking a deep breath and gazing intently at Jian Yi in front of him. "The full name of this secret realm is the Padia Secret Realm. I do know about this secret realm, and I opened the entrance to it myself."

Hearing Xia Yu admit it himself, Jian Yi did not show any surprise on her face. Obviously, she had already guessed this outcome and knew what was going on.

“I admit that I did deliberately conceal some information about the Padia Secret Realm, but… there was a reason for it.” Xia Yu paused slightly, then looked at Jian Yi with a sincere expression and said, “There has been a traitor hidden in the upper echelons of the China Pokémon Association. This person holds a high position and knows a lot of the China Pokémon Association’s top secret information. Both President Ruilin and I have been trying to find out the identity of this traitor.”

"The reason we concealed the news of the Padia Secret Realm this time was to find the traitor hiding in the upper echelons of the Pokémon Association in China."

"President Ruilin and I have developed a detailed plan called Project Rainbow."

"We want to use the secret realm, Zekrom, and the Dragon Stone to lure out that traitor..."

Xia Yu explained the Rainbow Project in detail, though he didn't go into too much detail, as too much talk leads to mistakes, and things are accomplished in secrecy. He only gave a general outline of the plan, aiming to dispel Jian Yi's doubts and gain her trust.

After listening to Xia Yu's explanation, Jian Yi frowned, her eyes filled with even more doubt. She stared at Xia Yu and asked, "So all of this is fake? Zekrom and the Dragon Stone Tablet are fake?"

“No, they are all real.” As Xia Yu spoke, he took out a Poké Ball from his waist and tossed it gently.

A white light flashed.

Czech Rom's signature black lightning form suddenly appeared beside Xia Yu!

Looking at the Czechoslovakian in front of her, Jane was completely unprepared and stood there stunned, her pupils wide.

Even someone as shrewd as her was momentarily stunned, processing what Xia Yu had just said.

"Zekirom is your Pokémon?!" After witnessing Xia Yu release Zekirom, Jian Yi could no longer maintain her composure and looked at Xia Yu with disbelief: "So the Dragon Stone is also in your hands?!"

“That’s right.” Xia Yu nodded slightly, looked calmly at Jian Yi, and slowly said, “This was all a setup from the beginning. Our goal from start to finish has always been to lure out the hidden traitor.”

Xia Yu paused for a moment before continuing, "Of course, dealing with those champions who invaded the secret realm was just a side benefit."

"You killed all the first trainers who entered the secret realm?" Jian Yi frowned as she looked at Xia Yu, as if Xia Yu were an unpardonable criminal.

"Champion Jianyi, you think too badly of me." Xia Yu joked with Jianyi with a smile: "The first batch of trainers who entered the Padia Secret Realm have all been captured alive and imprisoned in the mountain cave prison. Since they wanted to invade China's secret realm, they naturally had to pay the price."

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Jian Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If Xia Yu is truly a ruthless person who indiscriminately kills innocent people, she herself would also find it difficult to survive.

“Jian Yi Champion.” Xia Yu’s voice continued, “The Padia Secret Realm itself is a top-tier secret realm, possessing extremely rich resources and various rare Pokémon, among which the most special are Paradox Pokémon.”

"Anomaly Pokémon?" Jian Yi was clearly hearing this term for the first time. She frowned and looked at Xia Yu, quietly waiting for him to continue.

“A special kind of Pokémon, similar to Ultra Beasts. Each Paradox Pokémon is very powerful, comparable to a legendary Pokémon... As you can see, my Iron Warrior is also a Paradox Pokémon,” Xia Yu said frankly.

"Paradox Pokémon are divided into two categories. The kind of mechanical Pokémon you see in front of you is called Future Pokémon."

"The other type is more like primitive beasts, and is called Ancient Pokémon."

“Champion Jianyi.” Xia Yu looked at Jianyi with a serious expression and said solemnly, “Whether it is a future Pokémon or an ancient Pokémon, they are extremely rare and precious Pokémon. They can only be produced in the Padia Secret Realm. They must be strictly guarded and none of them are allowed to leave the area. Therefore, I hope that you can stay here personally for the time being to guard this place and prevent anyone from approaching.”

"Xia Yu..." Jian Yi smiled slightly upon hearing Xia Yu's words and looked at him, saying, "Aren't you afraid I'm a traitor?"

"Regarding who the traitor among the higher-ups of the secret realm is, I have discussed it with Guild Master Ruilin. You are almost certainly not the traitor because you are too young, and your age doesn't match up at all."
