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

"Boss, what should we do next?" Lu Da's second mate asked, looking at the palace doors that hadn't been opened for a long time.

"Bring out what that woman prepared for us."

Lu Da thought for a moment, and the third mate took out a very old-fashioned necklace from his body and then placed it against the door.

A very abundant water-based energy was channeled into the pattern on the door from the necklace, and the half-lit pattern was instantly filled with the gentle water-based energy.

"Boom!"

A loud sound was heard, and an even more terrifying blue light erupted from the palace, piercing through the sea above and reaching the sky. The palace gates also opened simultaneously in all four directions.

On the sea, personnel responsible for maintaining order are constantly monitoring the situation below.

The machine next to me beeped an alarm.

"An unusual fluctuation of water energy has appeared on the seabed. Record it and send it to headquarters. At the same time, contact the three Divine Beast Envoys and report the situation here."

"Yes!"

The people around them began to act in an orderly manner, but they had a vague sense of unease.

Along the coast, many trainers were training and eating with their Water-type Pokémon when they inexplicably stopped what they were doing and all looked in the direction from which the light had appeared.

This situation started on the coast, spread throughout Taiwan, and even showed a tendency to spread to the mainland.

......

Within the sea, countless water spirits were in different places, some cultivating, some playing, and some feeding. At this moment, they all stopped what they were doing and looked towards the direction of the pillar of light in front of them.

At this moment, they seemed to witness the prince of the sea returning to the temple.

In the next second, all the spirits in the entire sea swam towards the location of the Water Temple, their mighty momentum resembling a pilgrimage!

In the deep sea, in the pitch-black abyss, unseen by anyone, a pair of enormous, scarlet eyes suddenly opened!

A roaring whale king was trembling with fear. Its enormous body was smaller than a single eye.

Those eyes gave off a deep chill!

That ancient being also awakened the moment the Temple of Water opened!

.......

"I just received a notification that the water-type spirits in the sea are rapidly heading this way, and the water-type spirits on land have also sensed it." Zhou Wenchao had just received the information transmitted from above through the communication system.

"Just because this gate was opened?"

"No, I think it should be that beam of light from just now, something like a signal?" Shangguan Fei analyzed.

"In short, it's a variable we can't be sure of, but the authorities have already started evacuating residents from the coast. Fortunately, no major disaster has occurred. Let's finish our mission as soon as possible."

Zhou Wenchao urged, as he had a strange feeling of unease.

"Mana~~"

“Manaphy told me that it seems someone went in,” Water Lily said from the side.

She has no fighting ability; her only role is to connect the people of water with this temple as a descendant of the Water People. But just now, she seemed to realize that something unexpected had happened.

Zhou Wenchao's pupils contracted slightly. "Let's go in!"

......

After about two hours, the group wandered around the palace and, guided by Manaphy, finally arrived at the very center of the palace.

"and many more!"

Zhou Wenchao immediately sensed that someone had entered his field of vision.

"What's wrong?" Ye Qingge asked from the side.

"I have been using my superpowers to sense my surroundings. Just now, I sensed three people entering my perception range."

Shangguan Fei frowned. "How far can your superpower sense reach?"

“Normally, the diameter can reach five kilometers, but it is suppressed within the temple area, so it is only about half the distance,” Zhou Wenchao said.

"That means they're only a little over a kilometer away from us now," Ye Qingge said.

"Let's go up first," Zhou Wenchao said, pointing to the stairs leading to the temple, which was undoubtedly the very center of the temple.

"Can you sense the exact strength of those people?" Shangguan Fei asked at this moment.

“No.” Zhou Wenchao shook his head. “I can only sense that the opponent seems to have only one weak Pokémon beside them, at most a Gym Leader level.” He did not sense any other Pokémon being released by the opponent.

"That was most likely used to guide the way, which also suggests that the other party may not have been very vigilant."

"You're thinking?"

"Mana~~Mana~~"

Just as Shangguan Fei and Zhou Wenchao were discussing whether to play a trick on them, Manaphy had already flown up to the high platform, and Shui Lian followed suit.

“They’ll arrive in at least five minutes. We need to figure out a strategy: should we deal with them first, or explore the palace first?” Shangguan Fei reminded him from the side.

"Let's go take a look first. I'll keep an eye on things over there."

The three of them followed Shui Lian up the steps.

"Is this the Crown of Water?"

Shui Lian exclaimed in surprise. There was no legendary treasure or anything like that above the steps, only a stone pillar, and a pattern carved on the top of the pillar, resembling a crown.

Below that pattern, ancient characters were engraved.

"The Crown of Water? What's that?" Ye Qingge asked.

“According to our clan’s records, the Water Crown is the symbol of the Ocean Prince, and also the symbol of Water-type Pokémon. Only Pokémon that have gained his approval can enter the temple,” Lana explained.

"What do these words below mean?" Shangguan Fei asked.

"I don't know," Shui Lian shook her head.

"We didn't bring the instruments for translating ancient texts either," Ye Qingge sighed.

"Behind the door opened by the tokens of the Water People, a crown lies dormant! Only he who holds the crown of the sea will become the true king of the ocean!"

Zhou Wenchao easily deciphered the inscription on the stone tablet.

"Can you understand it?"

“Of course, I have a deep understanding of ancient writing.” Zhou Wenchao shrugged.

“In that case, Shui Lian, take out that necklace and try it on,” Ye Qingge said.

Shui Lian quickly took out the necklace and leaned it against the stone tablet.

The next second, the necklace shattered, and a pure water-based law seemed to flow into the pattern of the Water Crown.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a hidden tunnel appeared behind the stone tablet.

"They're coming."

As Zhou Wenchao spoke, they saw three figures approaching from a distance behind them.

"Sister Shui Lian, and little brother Zhou, you two go inside. Leave this to Shangguan Fei and me." Ye Qingge stepped forward.

The three people opposite, including Lu Da, also clearly saw them above and thus assumed a fighting stance.

"it is good."

Zhou Wenchao nodded without much hesitation; he didn't believe that a few pirates could defeat the Divine Beast Envoy.

Using both of them is already giving them too much credit.
