Pokémon: Start with a Dragon-type Gym Leader, and pick up Guroton.

Chapter 132 Treasures in the Core Area? Battle Against an Unknown Giant Dragon Leader!

One hour later...

[Host, the system space is almost full...]

"I've only stuffed in this little bit, and your space is already insufficient? I've read in those online articles that system space can be increased. Why don't you push yourself and see if you can stuff in a little more?"

Along the way, Li Luochen picked up and stuffed whatever he could find.

Items like non-melting ice, frozen rocks, and custard apples could fetch a good price in the outside world, so Li Luochen picked them up casually as he passed by.

Unexpectedly, before he could finish collecting everything, he ran out of system space.

That's way too bad!

It's not as useful as Gengar's 4D Pocket.

[You...you're despicable! System upgrade in progress! Estimated completion time: three hours!]

"That's more like it. How will you know your limits if you don't push yourself?"

Seeing that the system had upgraded on its own, Li Luochen left the system aside and continued to use his waveguide power to explore his surroundings and delve deeper into the secret realm.

All Pokémon from the outside world have disappeared.

Currently, the only way to encounter the Pokémon in the secret realm is to enter the core area from the outer area.

"The remaining items on the outer perimeter aren't anything of value, let's go straight into the secret realm."

Li Luochen sat on the back of the fire-breathing dragon, signaling it to head towards the core area.

……

……

In the core area, snow covered the sky.

"Wang Qiu, are the Pokémon outside still here?"

Inside a cave, Liu Yan, dressed in thin clothes, asked Wang Qiu, who was not far away, a question.

"Hiss... Not yet. These Pokémon seem to be on someone's orders, taking turns on guard duty. They've changed groups three times already, so it'll probably be hard for them to get out anytime soon..."

At this moment, Wang Qiu's cheeks were red from the cold, and his entire right arm was covered with a thick layer of frost. If it weren't for the fact that the people in this world were all exceptionally healthy, he would probably have needed an amputation.

Upon hearing this news, Liu Yan said angrily, "Damn it, why did it have to evolve at this time, and it's a leader Pokémon no less... This time, it's probably doomed..."

They were eliminated on Day 2.

When he had nothing to do, he thought about improving his strength and asked the school to let him enter the secret realm for training.

It was quite easy at first.

After all, they are all students in the cultivation department. Although they haven't taken the junior cultivator certificate exam yet, they have learned the basic energy cube making quite well.

If you encounter wild Pokémon on the road, feed them and pick up some small items to earn some extra money.

However, in the third hour after entering the secret realm, an unexpected incident occurred on the outskirts. A group of Pokémon rushed towards the core area, and Liu Yan and Wang Qiu were forced to come to the core area and witnessed the evolution of the leader Pokémon.

After the leader Pokémon evolved, it immediately noticed Liu Yan and Wang Qiu who were watching.

They chased each other all the way and barely managed to shake off the main force, but the leader Pokémon had sent Pokémon to guard the area to prevent them from escaping.

"How many Power Cubes are left? There are no minor bosses among the wild Pokémon that came this time, so we should be able to bribe them."

Wang Qiu glanced around and, after confirming that there were no leaders within his line of sight, quickly asked Liu Yan for a few energy cubes.

"There are four left."

Liu Yan took out an energy cube and quickly handed it over.

"Brother Liu, you stay here for a bit, I'll be right back."

Wang Qiu snatched the energy cube and tiptoed out.

"Mavide!"

As soon as they emerged from the cave, three Werewolf creatures, which had been waiting nearby, surrounded them in a triangular formation.

Wang Qiu calmly handed over the energy cube with his only movable hand: "Thank you for your hard work guarding us, brothers. This is a token of my appreciation. We'll see each other again someday, so please have mercy and let us go?"

After saying that, the three macaque ramen noodles looked at each other, pondering the feasibility of Wang Qiu's words.

They came on the orders of the new leader to prevent wild humans from venturing into the core area and unearthing a certain important item.

It's okay to release it, but not at this critical juncture.

"Please, have mercy! I promise I won't venture deep into the core area!"

Wang Qiu then pulled out a few more energy-rich candies from his pocket and handed them to the other person, saying, "We should exchange ideas more often in the future, why fight to the death? Right?"

"Nura..." (Hmm...indeed...)

The leader, Manneel, thought there was some truth to it.

After all, it knew they were in a secret realm.

Behind these wild humans, there must be some big shot standing.

Ok……

Or should we just let it go?

Manneken felt that she only received a small amount of tree fruit each month, so why should she work so hard for the new leader?

With this in mind, Mammalian was already considering giving in.

Seeing this, the other two Manneken Pis also dispersed, making way for them.

"Thanks, bro!"

Wang Qiu was overjoyed and quickly called Liu Yan back.

The two bowed to the Mannuras, and just as they were about to leave, they saw the Mannuras suddenly raise their arms, revealing a cold glint!

"Mavide!"

With a flick of its claws, a continuous stream of ice pillars rose from the snow in front of it, shattering the rock wall beside the King Ball and revealing a gap large enough for the three of them to leave!

"Hah!"

Before the two could react, they heard a roar from above!

"Holy crap, why is that boss back?!"

Liu Yan immediately understood what was going on and grabbed Wang Qiu, running towards the gap.

If they had escaped directly from Mannura's side, they probably would have been discovered by the leader who was above them.

Although it doesn't really matter now, at least Weavile bought them some time to escape...

Right now, there's only one word: run!

but.

They had only run a few steps when the remaining rock wall behind them was smashed open by a tremendous force!

A powerful dragon's aura, accompanied by icy winds, swept over them, carrying flying debris that tore their clothes...

"Snorlax, yawn!"

"Gyarados, a terrifying face!"

Wang Qiu and Liu Yan both sent out Pokémon to deal with the situation.

However, the difference in strength between it and the leader's Pokémon was too great. It was knocked unconscious by the leader's aura as soon as it emerged from the Poké Ball.

Seeing this, the two had no choice but to recall their partner. Wang Qiu took out the last energy cube and threw it at the pursuing leader: "Brother, that's all I have. Can you give us thirty seconds to escape?"

Perhaps it was to confirm that the two of them posed no threat.

The leader, hidden in the swirling snow, revealed only his crimson eyes. After swallowing the energy cube in one gulp, he actually stood still, letting Wang Qiu and the others escape.

Thirty seconds passed quickly.

Despite the help of Pokémon, they were still caught up by the giant dragon leader...

"Liu Yan, your Pokémon is faster than mine. You go get reinforcements first, I'll stay behind."

Wang Qiu stopped and stood behind Liu Yan, facing the arrival of their leader head-on: "I have the General's Deception Mushroom and the Nut Dumbbell; maybe we can buy some time."

"Hah!"

The unknown giant dragon leader inside the flying snow was also amused by Wang Qiu's words.

With a gurgling sound, a huge icy torrent swept across the sky, instantly smashing the newly released Mushroom and nutmeg behind them.

"Damn it... Arcanine, use Flamethrower!"

Liu Yan had just finished speaking in the distance.

The enemy's second wave of attack is coming.

Countless sharp ice spikes tore through the flying snow, bringing with them powerful spiraling air currents as they suddenly attacked!

Wang Qiu had no choice but to raise his arm in an attempt to block the ice spike.

But the expected stinging pain did not occur.

Instead, a wall of fire formed by waves of flames blocked him from behind.

"Liu Yan, when did your Gyrocopter become so powerful?"

Wang Qiu couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

Turning around, I saw Liu Yan and his Gyrocopter staring at the scene with blank expressions.

Right now.

A command came from high above: "Lugia, use Dragon Dive!"
