After sorting out this information in his mind, Xia Chen rubbed his brow in distress.
In just one month, there were two waves of orange-level alien beasts, which was unprecedented in the hundreds of years of history of the metropolis.
If he goes by his previous conjecture, it means that the dark matter that controls the ultimate world has begun to stir again.
What can cause agitation?
Frequent exchanges between the two worlds? Have you noticed that the power in the ultimate city is getting stronger and stronger? Or has it been dormant for a long time and finally reached the final step, and is about to bring the entire ultimate world to nothingness?
Xia Chen couldn't guess which one it was, or maybe it was for other reasons.
The only thing he can be sure of is that there is less and less time left for the ultimate world.
But is my strength enough?
Xia Chen once again looked at the current strength of the elves. He was on par with Rayquaza and Xerneas and other big guys, and Luton was certainly the number one among them.
The horse-riding King Lei Guan and Deoxys are slightly inferior, but they are also powerful gods that cannot be touched by elves of the level of Flame Bird.
Further down is Zeraora, which was recently conquered and has made great progress in Crown Snow.
If it has enough energy, its explosive power may be the key to reversing the battlefield.
Then there are the ordinary elves headed by Senbu, Gardevoir and Menas.
Of course, ordinary elves are only compared to legendary elves, and their strength is beyond the reach of most elves in the world.
But Xia Chen still has no confidence in whether he can shake Ultimate Necrozma and the dark matter behind it.
Or maybe the secrets hidden in them will produce some unimaginable effects at some point?
Frankly speaking, if possible, Xia Chen would like to wait until Senbu and the others are as powerful as Rayquaza before dealing with this matter.
But time waits for nothing, and the current situation in the ultimate world no longer tolerates waiting.
He must leave as soon as possible.
After retracting his thoughts, Xia Chen warned: "Rotom, help me book a ticket to the Alola region tomorrow... No, two are enough."
Although the speed of Guluton is faster than that of airplane, airplane is more comfortable for such a long journey.
This is true for both Xia Chen and Gu Lerton.
As for the second ticket, it was prepared for King Lei Guan, who would never be able to enter the Poké Ball.
Rotom immediately replied thoughtfully: "Received Rotom! I have booked two flights for 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. I wish you a pleasant journey!"
One thing to say is that Rotom's performance is no less than that of a supercomputer, so it is somewhat overkill for grabbing tickets.
After successfully booking the trip, Xia Chen took a cold shower and was finally able to lie on the bed comfortably and have a good rest.
Three months of hard training was not just for the elves, but also for the trainers who accompanied him.
Rather, it is better to say that because the physique of humans is far inferior to that of elves, trainers are generally much more tired during the journey.
After telling Rotom to get up at four o'clock in the afternoon to prepare dinner, Xia Chen quickly fell asleep in a groggy state.
…………
The expected alarm did not ring, and when Xia Chen opened his eyes again, the moonlight was already hazy outside the window.
You don't need to look at the time to know that in the summer the sky will be like this, at least after seven o'clock.
Could it be that the alarm clock is broken?
Xia Chen, who had slept until he was unconscious, had this idea flashing through his mind, and then immediately denied it.
How is it possible? Rotom, the electronic ghost, doesn't freeze or anything like that.
Xia Chen got out of bed with the clear moonlight shining through the window. As soon as he opened the door, he heard the laughter and laughter coming from downstairs, and could still vaguely smell the fragrant aroma of the food.
Xia Chen was stunned. Dinner was already ready?
Rotom flew up from the stairwell at the right time and complained, "It's Senbu-san. They don't want me not to wake you up!"
Xia Chen felt warm in his heart.
Sure enough, it is more considerate to raise a daughter.
Walking down the stairs, the huge living room was filled to the brim with elves, not just Xia Chen, but also the head housekeeper of Yuanling Island, Chris Jia.
The last member of Team Lava, [Fire Goose], now has no trace of his original "villain" temperament, and correspondingly, his strength is no longer the same.
To be fair, the strength of the top cadres of the Lava Team at the time was actually very average, and none of them exceeded the strength of the Heavenly King. As long as the Hoenn Alliance paid attention to it earlier, there would be no chance for them to cause trouble.
Being able to cause such a big thing is really thanks to the fact that people in the elven world, which has been peaceful for too long, are not so wary.
However, the current permanent acting gym leader of the Yuanling Gym, Chris Jia, is already one of the "most difficult gym challenges" recognized by the Donghuang Alliance.
The treacherous fighting style she developed in the dark organization, the selection of multi-attribute elves that cannot be targeted, and most importantly, the powerful strength that has continued to grow after settling in Yuanling Island, all make her "famous" among all those who wish to participate.
It is widely spread among the trainers of Donghuang Conference.
At this moment, the woman who was called the "Yuanling Female Demon King" by many trainers showed a rare expression of resentment after seeing Xia Chen.
"Boss, that's too much. If Senbu hadn't come to the gym to find me, I wouldn't have known you were back..."
Xia Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "I came back in a hurry, and as you can see, I slept until now as soon as I came back... Originally, I planned to invite you over for dinner when I got up."
Chris Jia was not really angry at first, but after Xia Chen suffered such a misfortune, she suddenly softened her heart.
Sighing, Krisja advised: "You are too tired, boss. Please rest more when you come back this time."
"Well…"
Xia Chen hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully: "Well... I have already booked a flight to Alola tomorrow."
Seeing Krisja's face gradually turning dark, Xia Chen immediately added: "I will have a good rest when I come back next time!"
Chrisja's eyes were dark: "Next time, why are you so weird when such words come out of your mouth?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As the famous pigeon king on the p station, Xia Chen has reason to be questioned in this way.
"This time will definitely be different. I will definitely do it next time!"
Xia Chen said firmly: "When I come back this time, I will definitely take a good rest on the island for a while, and I will also give you some time off."
It's embarrassing to say that it's been almost two and a half years since the Yuanling Gym opened, and Xia Chen's total time at the gym was less than a month.
If it weren't for his special status in Donghuang, he would never have passed the annual fixed assessment of the Alliance Gym Department.
So much so that many people now think that the leader of the Yuanling Gym is actually a beautiful and sassy female devil, not Xia Chen.
…………
"I have no doubt about your determination."
Kriska sighed again: "That's it, don't say such flag-raising words next time, okay?"
Xia Chen: "..."
Needless to say, this trip to Alola was truly a narrow escape.
Kriska's unintentional words made Xia Chen feel a little frightened.
He quickly found a random topic to cover it up, "Okay, let's eat quickly. After dinner, I will review the current strength of King Yan and others."
Before Krisjia could say anything, the majestic Wang Yan standing beside her raised her chest and responded: "His Majesty!"
As Krisja's first partner and also an ace elf, this guy's life on Yuanling Island was very fulfilling.
His eyes are bright and sharp, his feathers are smooth and shiny, and his pair of swallowtails are as sharp as scissors.
This elf, who was only at the gym level when we first met him, has now reached the level of a king.
This is not an easy task. Not all elves have unlimited potential, such as Daiwu's Metagross and Taunting Na's Fierce Bite Land Shark.
For a King Yan whose talent is not top-notch, his growth to this point is not only due to the accumulation of resources, but also due to his own efforts.
To say that he lived a precarious life in the Lava Team before, it is reasonable for Wang Yan to work so hard. Now that he is living a good life, he is still like this, which shows that his will is not as firm as usual.
After chatting for a while, Xia Chen and Chris Jia finally started to eat.
The quality of the dinner was uneven. From the cooking skills revealed in the dishes, it was obvious that they were not made by an elf.
It’s not difficult to guess which dish is made by the elf, and you can clearly see it when picking up the food.
For example, when he tasted this steamed light cod meat, Menas secretly glanced at himself.
Although I don’t know how Menas, who has no hands, made it, there is no doubt that this dish was made by him.
High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking method. The meat of light cod is extremely tender, and a little soy sauce when steamed is a unique flavor.
Menas is one of the first elves to live with Xia Chen, and his basic food aesthetics is still very good. This steamed light cod meat is very good.
So there was no need to pretend, Xia Chen naturally showed a stunning expression.
As a cook, he knows that his most fulfilling moment is when he sees the happy expression of the guy being fed, so he does not hesitate to express his emotions.
It's a pity that some dishes can bring out a smile without any psychological burden, while there are more things that can only be called dark dishes, and Xia Chen can only tear up the corners of his mouth.
For example, Vulcan Moth's stir-fried celery with yellow sweet potato, the heat and other aspects are no problem at all, but in terms of material selection... Although it is a bit strange to use sweet and sour tree fruits for stir-fry, it is not impossible.
But where are the vegetables and fruits that are cooked without chopping them all at once?
Xia Chen took a bite of the cold yellow sweet potato inside, and forced a smile of satisfaction.
Chrisja could have no scruples in choosing only Menas, Gardevoir, and other well-made dishes to eat, but Xia Chen had to eat both the rain and dew.
So a sweet and spicy dinner that seemed like he could taste all the flavors of life ended, and Xia Chen ended his first and last day back on Yuanling Island with a complicated mood.
…………
The next day.
Xia Chen arrived at Hauola City in the Alola region on time at two o'clock in the afternoon.
More than half a year has passed since the Ultimate Cave incident that occurred at the beginning of the year. The original order has been restored here, and it is even more lively than back then because of the emergence of the Ultimate World.
On a whim, Xia Chen took King Lei Guan around this prosperous city full of tropical style for a while, and finally came to Alola Elf School, which had been open for a long time.
He still remembered that when he first came to Alola, he stayed here for a while, and nearly half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Lei Guanwang did not ride her beloved horse in a high-profile manner on this trip. She just sat on Xia Chen's shoulders. She had thin arms and legs. It was not a burden to Xia Chen, whose physical fitness was considered superhuman.
Generally speaking, except for the kohlrabi on top of its head, not many people recognize them when walking on the road.
For Lei Guanwang, every trip with Xia Chen has been a novel experience since the release of Guanzhiyuan.
Yuanling Island has only begun to take shape as a city, and overall it is still a social settlement at the village and town level.
Hauola City is different. As the economic center of the Alola region, it is not only comparable to metropolises like Miare City or Feiyun City, but it is also a large and prosperous city with a population of over one million.
Looking at the row upon row of neat and tidy buildings, even King Lei Guan could not help but show an expression of wonder.
However, there was still business to do here this time. Xia Chen did not stay long at the Alola Elf School, a place where many memories had been left, and soon took King Lei Guan to the Aether Paradise.
This artificial island, which was once the core hub of the Ethereum Foundation, has now become the headquarters for ultimate world affairs and is heavily guarded.
As one of the top ten permanent directors of the Countermeasures Bureau, Xia Chen was able to swipe his trainer's ID to enter, and then went to visit Dr. Kukui, the head of the Countermeasures Bureau and one of the strongest combat forces in the Alola region.
Because he had made an appointment and communicated in advance, he successfully met the busy Kukui.
The doctor who was dressed enthusiastically and boldly in the animation was well-dressed for this occasion, but there was an irresistible sadness on his face.
As soon as he saw Xia Chen, he began to complain: "Dr. Xia Chen, you came back at the right time. The Ultimate World has been really troubled recently..."
This is not the first time that the two of them have met. They had already met during the invasion of the ultimate alien beasts.
Therefore, Xia Chen was not surprised by this doctor's unserious behavior.
Taking the fruit tea from a sweet and cold queen, he took a sip and said, "I received the message. Is there another orange-level alien beast disaster breaking out over there?"
Kukui nodded with a serious expression, "Well, it's very serious. According to the news from the front line, the scale was even more serious than the disaster of the same level last month. It was not upgraded to red just because the God of Glory did not appear.
"
He rubbed his brows in distress and continued: "Since we intervened in the development of that world, the situation has become worse and worse. Now there is a fierce quarrel within the Countermeasures Bureau. A large number of people think that we should withdraw from the Ultimate World altogether.
Maybe it can make the situation over there better."
Xia Chen looked calm and did not reply directly. Instead, he asked: "What do Dr. Kukui think of this plan?"
"ah..."
Kukui's eyebrows changed and he was confused for a long time before he considered the words and said: "Logically speaking, the bad situation in the ultimate world is not directly related to our intervention, and our departure will not necessarily make the situation better."
, so my current attitude is still more exploratory, not to mention from the perspective of the relationship between the two worlds, well... Dr. Xia Chen should understand what I mean, right?"
