"Come on, little Klee."
"Let's not play games today. I'll take you to a more fun place."
Having Klee turn off the Pokédex and the game, Hiroshi held Klee's little hand.
You know, in addition to the Ecological Zone Card, Hiroshi currently has a second Secret Realm Card in his hand—The Hisui Region.
He had confirmed it repeatedly with the System.
Because this card does not summon an ecological area to replace the land of Teyvat, there is almost no movement when used and placed. It acts more like a stable portal to a pocket dimension or a specific point in the Pokémon world's past.
Therefore, Hiroshi decided to quietly place the Gate of Time and Space in the Research Institute's basement.
On the other side of the Secret Realm Gate, in the Hisui Region, he would build another research outpost as a hub and bridge between the two worlds.
And Hiroshi naturally has to firmly control such a port.
Research Institute - Early Morning.
He let Klee get to know the Lurantis, and pick up some special flavors of Energy Cubes to feed it.
By the way, there was an extra Beldum baby to take care of as well.
Hiroshi's breeding plan for Ningguang's Beldum is to "freeze" it for the time being—letting it build a solid foundation before evolving.
Let's first take a look at the one brought by the Big Sister Lurantis. How is it doing?
You know, yesterday evening Xiangling was practically blasted away by Hiroshi to go home. Otherwise, with her Scyther's motivation to learn from its master, Xiangling would have wanted to leave the Scyther here too and let Lurantis take him under her wing.
But the training and raising of Pokémon by an Overlord-level mentor is part of the Research Institute's premium care and cultivation service.
There is a fee.
And it's expensive!
The underground space had been repaired and reinforced by the construction team overnight.
At first glance, it looked like an ancient ruin found in the Guili Plains.
Hiroshi arrived here and used the Secret Realm Card.
Suddenly, a strong atmosphere of time and space distortion filled the air nearby.
Some visions appeared and disappeared in the air like mirages.
In an unknown and nameless place of nothingness, two Legendary Pokémon were fighting and clashing for an unknown amount of time.
Those were none other than Dialga and Palkia!
Two Gods who respectively control the power of Time and Space!
At the same time, a void and calm voice sounded in Hiroshi's ears:
"The Hisui Region is the predecessor of the Sinnoh Region."
"This area is surrounded by untamed nature. It was a long time ago when humans rarely lived in harmony with Pokémon..."
Hiroshi thought slightly.
It turns out that the "principle" of the Secret Realm Card was pushed by the entanglement and fight between Dialga and Palkia, causing time and space to become chaotic enough to open a bridge.
Correct!
Hiroshi's eyes suddenly brightened.
And he gradually developed a certain kind of enthusiasm.
Hisui Region...
Mt. Coronet stands in the center!
Mt. Coronet? This place is incredible. There have been ruins of the Sinnoh Temple on the top of the mountain since ancient times. They are covered by a mysterious power and cannot be reached by ordinary flight.
If it were the original game mechanics...
Here, there is the Spear Pillar, which might spawn "Wild Dialga" or "Wild Palkia".
"Gee, these two Mythical Beasts are so handsome."
"They are all Dragon Gods."
"And they control the power of Time or Space."
"No matter which one I conquer, isn't it equivalent to harnessing the power of the original Primordial One on Teyvat?"
Phanes... Istaroth...
He set up the Secret Space-Time Gate.
Hiroshi found Klee and only took Cresselia with him for protection. Zekrom stayed behind to guard the main shop.
Together, they crossed the most intense fluctuations of time and space.
Their figures suddenly disappeared without a trace.
...
The Hisui Region.
Klee excitedly pointed to the huge snow-capped mountains in the distance that reached into the sky.
"Another snowy mountain!"
"Will Brother Albedo and Sister Sucrose be there?"
Hiroshi smiled and tapped Klee's head gently.
"That place is not Dragonspine."
"It's called Mt. Coronet."
"There is something very, very scary up there!"
Cresselia also opened her gem-like eyes wide, curiously observing this foreign world of ancient times.
"Hiroshi, there are many ancient Pokémon here."
"Hiroshi, there is a human town not far away."
Hiroshi nodded. That should be Jubilife Village, a town built by the Galaxy Team.
"Cresselia, let's explore the wilderness briefly first… and finally go to the top of the snow-capped mountains!"
He gave a spare Pokédex to Cresselia and asked her to serve as the cameraman for this trip, using her psychic powers to stabilize the shot.
Hiroshi suddenly had another idea.
Take the video of exploring the Hisui Region, edit and publish it. Using it as the "Promotional Video" for the [Pokémon Auto Chess] game is overkill.
It is better to set the purpose and goal of this "Promotional Video" more lofty!
Well, it is to let ordinary people in Teyvat have some intuitive understanding of the future era they are about to embrace.
Let those who are ready to embark on the journey of being a Trainer take a look.
In addition to the Vision, Teyvat today also has a power system that is enough to "Become a God"!
"Huh."
Just as they started shooting...
In the woodland not far from the teleportation point...
Hiroshi's psychic scan swept away the foliage and found a Growlithe... but different.
It had thicker fur, darker orange coloring, and a rock-like horn on its head.
[Hisuian Growlithe]
"A tribe of Hisuian Growlithe?"
"What a coincidence. Ningguang is planning to build a Pokémon Guard Force to adapt to the special era and protect the safety of Liyue Harbor."
"Capture some males and females and bring them back, or just find the Pokémon Eggs and put them in the Research Institute to breed!"
Hiroshi pondered and touched the Ultra Ball on his belt.
...
Liyue Harbor - The Jade Chamber.
Hongyi (Millelith Captain) once again set foot on the floating palace that symbolizes the pinnacle of Liyue's secular power.
However, compared with before...
Hongyi, who has been working intensively in the position of "Deputy Director" of the Coordination Bureau for a week, was very emotional. After the experience, his whole mentality and aura were more calm and authoritative.
"You stay right here, Cutie."
Hongyi touched his Growlithe's head and went up to the pavilion to report on this week's work.
The Growlithe, who was already Level 20, had also grown a lot. It was sitting motionless, quiet and reliable, guarding the entrance.
In the gorgeous palace office...
Hongyi presented a detailed work report to Ningguang.
While Ningguang was reading it carefully, Hongyi subconsciously looked for traces of the Shiny Beldum in the palace.
Secretary Baixiao lowered her voice and whispered to him:
"Captain Hongyi."
"Lady Ningguang's Beldum has been temporarily fostered by Manager Hiroshi for several days."
Hongyi was suddenly surprised.
What?
Manager Hiroshi's Pokémon Home is in the bustling market of Liyue Harbor. Even with so much money, where is the space to open up a new fostering business suitable for a Beldum?
While Hongyi was thinking about it...
Ningguang raised her head.
"Although some casualties are unavoidable, because of your outstanding work, Captain Hongyi, the number of casualties and economic losses have been reduced to a minimum..."
She closed the work report document, lightly opened her red lips, and changed the topic.
"Have you brought the list of capable personnel I asked you to find?"
Hongyi nodded and immediately handed over a roster seriously.
"One hundred people in total."
"These are the elites I selected from the Millelith. They are full of love for Pokémon and have the talent and character to make a name for themselves as Trainers."
Ningguang smiled faintly with satisfaction.
"Waiting for Manager Hiroshi to deliver a batch of Growlithe to us..."
"The Pokémon Guard Army directly under the jurisdiction and command of the Liyue Qixing will be established!"
Hongyi finished his report and was about to leave.
Another secretary, Baiwen, rushed in and reminded them hastily:
"Lady Ningguang! In the Customer Group Chat... Manager Hiroshi just posted a new video!"
"Please take a look! It's titled 'Legends of Arceus'!"
