Pokémon: Back to high school, I became a Pokémon master

Zhou Wenchao and the others nodded, signaling her to continue.

"The Temple of the Sea God was built by our ancestors for the spirits of the sea. For some special reason, it has a protective shield on the outside, which is the same color as the seawater. It cannot be discovered by outsiders and only appears at specific times."

What is the specific time?

Total lunar eclipse.

Shui Lian continued, "When the total lunar eclipse occurs, the Prince of the Sea will return to the Temple of the Sea God, and only under the guidance of Manaphy can one enter it."

"When will the next total lunar eclipse be?" Zhou Wenchao asked casually.

“The day after tomorrow at dawn,” Shangguan Fei replied. “It was precisely because of this that we learned about the Temple of the Sea.”

“Yes, I want Manaphy to return to where it is.” Water Lily said, which was why she chose to tell the Alliance. After investigation, the Alliance had a high probability of deducing that the Water Drop Slab was in the Temple of the Sea.

"Based on the information we have, let's integrate it and draft a plan." Zhou Wenchao created a group on his phone and sent the information the alliance had given him to the group.

Shui Lian also brought out some books about historical records from her family.

The group quickly began their investigation, making sure to connect all the clues as much as possible.

As he rubbed his fingers together, Shangguan Fei suddenly noticed a pattern marked on a piece of paper—it was an elf egg.

“There’s a problem,” he suddenly said.

"what happened?"

“I suddenly remembered something, and I think I need to remind you of it,” Shangguan Fei suddenly said.

"what's up?"

"I remember that two years ago, Interpol issued a warrant for the arrest of a group of pirates, which caused a great sensation at the time."

"Is it that huge bounty?" Ye Qingge frowned slightly.

"Yes, that pirate leader was named Ruda. He once did something incredibly crazy: he offered a 2 billion bounty for a peculiar elf egg. The picture of that elf egg looks a lot like this?"

"This one?" Zhou Wenchao looked at the book in Shangguan Fei's hand. It contained a dark blue elf egg, but the center seemed to have a yellow-orange pattern, like an egg yolk, rather than being a monochrome elf egg.

“Manaphy hatched from this elf egg,” Water Lily said, seeing the three staring at the large elf egg.

"Interpol? Where did you see that? Can I take a look?" Zhou Wenchao asked.

“That makes sense.” Shangguan Fei suddenly realized. “You haven’t carried out any international missions, so you probably don’t know. It’s just that our internal system has some international bounties. We can occasionally take on some bounties to earn some extra money. You should see a notification on your official account.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenchao logged into the alliance's intranet using his own account and indeed saw some international bounties. He entered the keyword "2 billion bounty" into the search bar, and sure enough, some related content popped up.

"You mean there are other people eyeing the Temple of the Sea?" Ye Qingge asked, stroking her chin thoughtfully.

"If what Shui Lian said is true, then there is a high probability that it will happen." As a qualified divine beast wielder who travels through various dangerous missions, Shangguan Fei seemed to keenly sense a strange aura.

The egg was brought back by Shui Lian's parents two years ago, and the bounty was also placed two years ago.

......

The words are divided into two parts.

A ship sailed on the seas beyond the Great Xia. The leader's head was wrapped in cloth, and one eye was covered by a black cloth; he was one-eyed. He was followed by many henchmen.

This person was none other than Lu Da, codenamed "One-Eyed," whom Zhou Wenchao and the other two had just discussed.

"How's that egg doing now?"

"Boss, we've got word that the egg hatched recently. Should we go and snatch it?" one of the henchmen said.

"Snapped!"

A slap suddenly landed on the underling's head.

"Useless! All you know is to rob, rob, rob! If it were that easy to enter the Great Xia, we would have robbed it two years ago! Do you really think the Great Xia is so easy to enter!" Lu Da was very angry.

Two years ago, he tracked down the egg and came to the Great Xia, but unfortunately, he didn't have the courage to enter the Great Xia. In the past two years, he has sent many people into the Great Xia, and at first, things went quite smoothly.

But as time went by, most of the people they sent in were caught.

"What did those people say?" Lu Da turned to look at his underling.

"Boss, they said they'd let us into the Great Xia territory, but after finding the temple, they want us to kill someone?"

"Who?"

"It seems to be someone named Zhou Wenchao. According to the information, that guy appears to be a college student who hasn't graduated yet."

"Hmm? A college student? Just for a college student? Could it be that this college student has some kind of background that they don't want to offend?" Lu Da narrowed his eyes; he didn't want to offend any important figures either.

"No, he's just an ordinary person, from an ordinary family. But that person said this Zhou Wenchao is quite shrewd, and we should be careful and not let anyone else know. Here's his portrait," the subordinate reported.

"Heh~ What tricks could a college student possibly have?"

"Oh, right, boss, that guy also gave us a reward." The underling pulled out a box from behind him.

After Lu Da took the box, he opened it and glanced at it before looking away.

"Hiss~ What a wonderful treasure! With it, my strength will increase by at least 30%." Lu Da said with excitement in his eyes, "Tell that woman that I have agreed to what she asked for."

......

Time flew by, and soon it was the day of the total lunar eclipse.

A crimson blood moon hung in the sky, its reflection shimmering on the sea.

"Is everything arranged?" Zhou Wenchao asked Shangguan Fei, who was standing to the side.

"Yes, everything is arranged. There are many skilled fighters nearby, all on guard against those pirates. Fleets have also been deployed in the surrounding waters, so there's no chance of anything going wrong." Working for the Alliance is really easy; the Alliance has made all the arrangements perfectly clear.

Apart from them, there was hardly anyone else in this area of ​​the sea.

"let us start."

The four men climbed into a small submarine.

"Manaphy, thank you for your hard work. Take us home." Water Lily hugged Manaphy and then placed her into the sea.

"Mana~~"

Manaphy circled twice in the sea before diving in.

"let's go."

The four of them followed Manaphy in a small submarine, constantly diving down.

Deep in the sea, all was pitch black. The submarine's lights illuminated a section of the area. Zhou Wenchao and his companions followed behind Manaphy, where various water-type Pokémon roamed the waters.

Looking up, it seemed as if a faint red light shone through the lake surface and into the seabed.
