After Jiang Chen returned, Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue finally let go of their worries.
"Going over so rashly, aren't you afraid of danger?" Ling Wanqiu glared at Jiang Chen, huffing.
"Of course, I'll ensure my own safety. I just looked from afar, didn't get close at all. Don't worry, I won't joke with my life." When Gardevoir took him over just now, they were actually still far from the Aerodactyl. He just looked from a distance, never getting close.
"Is it a Champion-level Pokémon?"
Xiao Luoxue's face was filled with curiosity.
"That's right, it's a Champion-strength Aerodactyl. Someone might have provoked it; its temper is very volatile."
There were other people in this Secret Realm besides them. Perhaps it was those other people who entered the Secret Realm that provoked this Aerodactyl.
Given this Aerodactyl's temper, the people who provoked it were likely already in dire straits.
"Is a Champion-strength Pokémon so terrifying when it rages?"
Even now, the ground was still shaking. They were at least dozens of kilometers away from that side, yet they could still feel the tremors from such a distance.
"What kind of Pokémon is Aerodactyl?"
Ling Wanqiu didn't know much about Aerodactyl.
"An ancient, extinct Pokémon from the data."
Jiang Chen briefly explained.
It was normal for them not to know about Aerodactyl. There was no technology in this world to revive fossils, so Aerodactyl simply didn't exist outside.
"This guy has a very fierce personality. In ancient times, it was known as the 'King of the Skies'; it's not easy to deal with."
Even if Aerodactyl were to be caught, it would be difficult to train its personality well.
"So, should we continue to stay in this Secret Realm, or leave?" Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue looked at Jiang Chen.
"Let's go, let's leave. Otherwise, my dad will definitely be worried, and your families will definitely be worried too."
Jiang Chen had Gardevoir take them towards the exit.
"Look quickly, that Aerodactyl seems to be coming this way too."
Indeed, the Aerodactyl was currently flying towards the Secret Realm's exit, as if it was chasing someone.
"We won't go over for now."
Jiang Chen immediately had Gardevoir stop, to avoid colliding with the Aerodactyl.
His own safety was more important. It was better not to casually approach. The destructive power of a Champion-level Pokémon was too terrifying. Even if Jiang Chen had powerful Pokémon with him, he could easily be caught in the crossfire.
Under the attack of a Pokémon's power, humans were still too fragile.
"I guess the country already knows about this Aerodactyl. Let's wait for people to come and resolve it."
Jiang Chen led Xiao Luoxue and Ling Wanqiu to a safe place.
They arrived at a small mountain in the distance. Standing on the mountaintop, looking into the distance, the Aerodactyl was battling several Pokémon. Those Pokémon were no match at all and were instantly defeated.
Just as Jiang Chen was considering whether to have Beedrill and Dragonite make a move, a Hyper Beam struck the Aerodactyl.
The previously unstoppable Aerodactyl was directly blasted away.
"That Dragonite is my dad's Dragonite."
Although it was far away and a little blurry, the familiar aura it emitted allowed Jiang Chen to confirm that it was his dad's Dragonite.
"Since Uncle Jiang is here, then this Aerodactyl should be resolvable."
Ling Wanqiu immediately felt relieved. "Let's go, let's go over there."
Jiang Chen had Gardevoir take them over. After Gardevoir's strength reached the Elite Four level, its Teleportation range became even further. Using Teleportation once, it brought them here.
"It's good that you're all fine."
Jiang Yuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Chen, Ling Wanqiu, and Xiao Luoxue unharmed.
He was worried sick when he received news that a special situation had occurred in this Secret Realm, and immediately rushed over on his Dragonite.
"No one got hurt, right?"
Although he knew Jiang Chen had a Champion-strength Beedrill, it would still be quite dangerous if they were truly attacked by a Champion-level Pokémon.
"No injuries." Jiang Chen asked about the Aerodactyl's situation.
It turned out someone had stolen the Aerodactyl's Pokémon Egg, which angered the Aerodactyl.
However, this Aerodactyl had not been discovered when people were sent to investigate this Secret Realm previously.
If he had known that there was an uncontrolled Champion-strength Pokémon in this Secret Realm, Jiang Yuan would absolutely not have allowed them to enter this Secret Realm.
"Aerodactyl, we only found its fossils before. I didn't expect there to be a living one. This is also a major discovery."
"In this Secret Realm, there are a batch of dormant ancient Pokémon. Are you interested?"
If Jiang Chen and the others were interested, Jiang Yuan could use his authority to help them get a few.
"Not interested."
Jiang Chen shook his head. These Pokémon had fierce personalities and were not easy to train. They might even harm their trainers.
This powerful Champion-strength Aerodactyl was finally defeated by Jiang Yuan's Dragonite and temporarily brought under control.
As for how it would be handled, Jiang Chen didn't pay attention. He, Ling Wanqiu, and Xiao Luoxue had already left this Secret Realm.
"I didn't expect to go through it and not even catch a single Pokémon."
Xiao Luoxue had originally planned to catch a Pokémon, but unexpectedly, this happened. She had been inside for less than a day before coming out.
This Secret Realm was now temporarily sealed.
Dormant ancient fossil Pokémon had great research value, so this Secret Realm naturally couldn't be easily opened to the public.
"There's a Red Maple Forest next to An City. There are many Pokémon there. You can try your luck there; you might encounter a Pokémon with good talent."
Jiang Chen said to Xiao Luoxue.
Since they were out, Jiang Chen didn't plan to go back so soon.
"Aren't we going to see other ruins?" Ling Wanqiu asked.
"Not for now. And those ruins have basically all been searched by others. We'd just be going to see the scenery."
"Let's go to an An City hotel for the night. Tomorrow, we'll head to the Red Maple Forest."
He looked at the sky. It was already late. There was no need to spend the night in the forest. Of course, if they could stay in a hotel, they would stay in a hotel.
They arrived in An City just as evening fell. They found a hotel and checked in directly. Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue called their families.
Their families knew they had come to this Secret Realm. When something happened in this Secret Realm, their families would definitely know too. Calling was also a good way to report their safety.
Jiang Chen's dad also called him.
"An City might be a bit chaotic lately. If you continue to stay in An City, remember to be careful."
"A bit chaotic?"
"The appearance of ancient fossil Pokémon has attracted many people, even people from other countries. You became famous in the previous exchange competition, but that also made some people see you as a thorn in their side. In short, be careful."
"Okay, I understand."
Jiang Chen indicated that he understood.
The next day, Jiang Chen told Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue that An City would be chaotic. In the end, they decided to leave An City.
If they wanted to catch Pokémon, this wasn't the only place.
Since this place was about to become a hotbed of trouble, why stay here?
White Sandalwood Forest, much larger than the Red Maple Forest near An City, contained hundreds of different Pokémon species.
After leaving An City, Jiang Chen and the others came here.
"I wish I could encounter a pseudo-legendary Pokémon in the wild."
They had been in White Sandalwood Forest for most of the day, but the Pokémon they encountered here were either very common Bug-type Pokémon or ordinary Grass-type Pokémon.
"The chance of encountering a pseudo-legendary Pokémon in the wild is about the same as winning the lottery." Jiang Chen said to Xiao Luoxue.
Jiang Chen even wanted to encounter a legendary Pokémon, but unfortunately, he wasn't Ash, and legendary Pokémon wouldn't just wander around randomly. It was almost impossible to encounter one.
And even if he did encounter a legendary Pokémon, he wouldn't be able to catch it.
"Forget encountering a pseudo-legendary, it's hard enough to even encounter a starter Pokémon."
Ling Wanqiu took out her water bottle and drank.
"Should we rest?"
They hadn't felt it much when they were studying in school, but when they went on a journey, they realized how tiring traveling was.
"Then let's rest for a while."
Although Jiang Chen had a good physique, he still had to consider the two girls. Xiao Luoxue and Ling Wanqiu already had sweat dripping down their faces.
"If we go deeper, the path will become more difficult. Should we continue deeper into the forest?"
After resting, Jiang Chen asked Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue for their opinions.
"Of course, we should continue deeper into the forest. If we turn back now, it would be a pity," Ling Wanqiu expressed her opinion.
"She didn't back down, so how could I back down?"
Xiao Luoxue was competing with Ling Wanqiu. Since Ling Wanqiu wanted to continue deeper into the forest, Xiao Luoxue certainly wouldn't retreat.
Moreover, if they wanted to catch Pokémon, only by venturing into the less-traveled depths of the forest would they be more likely to encounter rare Pokémon.
In places that were frequently visited, even if there were rare Pokémon, they would have long since been caught by others.
"Oh, there are also Wobbuffet Berries here."
Xiao Luoxue looked at the Wobbuffet Berries on the tree and reached out to pick a few ripe ones.
"Purely natural berries. Want to try some?"
"Forget it. Actually, wild berries aren't as tasty as the ones you buy." Jiang Chen shook his head directly at the Wobbuffet Berries Xiao Luoxue offered.
"Really?"
Xiao Luoxue bit into one skeptically, then her expression changed.
"Ptooey, ptooey, why is it so sour and bitter?"
"The ones we buy are cultivated and improved to suit our tastes. These berries here are actually more suited to the tastes of the Pokémon that live here," Jiang Chen explained to Xiao Luoxue.
He knew all this because Ning Ya had told him.
"Good thing I didn't try it."
Looking at Xiao Luoxue's bitter face, Ling Wanqiu looked relieved. She had wanted to try one just now. Good thing Xiao Luoxue acted as a taste-tester for her.
"I think I hear Pokémon battling. Did you hear it?"
Jiang Chen stopped and listened carefully.
"Where? I didn't hear anything," Xiao Luoxue looked at Ling Wanqiu.
Ling Wanqiu also shook her head: "I didn't hear anything either."
"Follow me."
Jiang Chen led the way. After walking about dozens of meters, clear crashing sounds entered their ears. Indeed, there were Pokémon battling.
To be precise, several Pokémon were ganging up on one Pokémon.
"Pinsir and Heracross."
There were seven or eight Pinsir continuously ganging up on one Heracross. Although Heracross was alone, its fighting power was extremely strong.
Facing the encirclement, it actually defeated several opponents.
Even now, facing the attacks of other Pinsir, it still wasn't at a disadvantage.
"This Heracross is good. If you want to catch a Pokémon, I suggest you catch it."
Jiang Chen looked at the Heracross, which resembled a giant stag beetle, and suggested to Xiao Luoxue.
The reason he suggested Xiao Luoxue catch this Heracross wasn't simply because of its fierce combat power, but mainly because its potential wasn't weak.
[Heracross]
Gender: Male
Strength: Elite Tier 7
Talent Potential: Elite Four
Type: Bug, Fighting
Ability: Guts
Moves: Tackle, Leer, Swords Dance, Brick Break, Pin Missile
"This Heracross has the potential to become Elite Four level."
Encountering a wild Pokémon with Elite Four potential in the wild was about the same chance as winning the lottery.
"It has Elite Four potential?"
"That's right, trust my judgment," Jiang Chen nodded.
Xiao Luoxue originally had little interest in Heracross, but hearing about its Elite Four potential, she was somewhat moved.
"Why don't you catch it?"
After all, Jiang Chen was the one who heard the commotion and found this place. This Heracross should be considered discovered by Jiang Chen first.
"You know how many Pokémon I have now. I don't plan to catch other Pokémon for the time being. So you should catch it. Don't waste this talented Pokémon," Jiang Chen shook his head.
For now, Jiang Chen didn't plan to catch Pokémon, unless he encountered a Pokémon with Champion potential, but that chance was even lower.
"Then I won't be polite."
Xiao Luoxue released Emboar. Emboar charged forward, defeating the Pinsir that were ganging up on Heracross with a few punches and kicks.
"Heracross, I want to catch you. Be my Pokémon."
Hearing Xiao Luoxue's words, Heracross took on a battle stance, but of course, it was no match for Emboar.
It was knocked to the ground by Emboar's Hammer Arm. Xiao Luoxue threw a Poké Ball, successfully catching this Heracross.
She released the caught Heracross and, seeing its injuries, took out some potions.
"Let Gardevoir heal it."
Jiang Chen looked at Gardevoir. A Healing Pulse was sent towards Heracross, healing most of its injuries.
"Thank you, Gardevoir."
"Gardevoir~!"
Hearing Xiao Luoxue's thanks, Gardevoir turned its head away in dissatisfaction.
"???Q"
Xiao Luoxue looked at Jiang Chen with a face full of question marks, not understanding why Gardevoir seemed angry when she thanked it.
"Gardevoir said you only thank verbally, with no substantial thanks at all."
"When we go back, I'll prepare your favorite dessert for you, okay?" Xiao Luoxue said to Gardevoir.
Hearing Xiao Luoxue say this, Gardevoir finally nodded in satisfaction.
Continuing deeper into the forest, the further they went, the harder the path became. At the same time, they encountered more and more Pokémon.
However, these Pokémon were all somewhat wary of humans. Most of them would hide when they encountered humans.
Looking up at the sky, Jiang Chen found a clearing suitable for camping. He stopped and suggested to the two girls:
"It's getting late. This place is perfect for pitching tents. Let's rest here for the night and continue exploring tomorrow."
"We'll listen to you."
Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue had no objections. They had walked all day and were indeed tired. They also wanted to rest.
