Shang Ren pressed himself against the enormous stone Pokémon, confirming the sound was coming from there.
"Youngster! Come back quickly! That's dangerous!"
Just as Shang Ren was about to explore further, an old man in green appeared on the shore.
Shang Ren returned to the shore.
The old man said, "Youngster, that place is very dangerous."
"Dangerous?"
Shang Ren asked, "Grandpa, are you joking?"
The old man replied, "That Pokémon is indeed very dangerous; it seals ancient powerful energy within."
Shang Ren's eyes darted around, and he asked, "Grandpa, what's going on? Can you tell me about it?"
Unexpectedly, the usually serious old man suddenly acted out of character.
In an instant, he produced a large pile of items from his pocket.
"Heh heh, young man, buy some of my local specialties first, and then I'll tell you."
Shang Ren had no choice but to buy over a thousand dollars worth of specialties.
Only then did he learn from the old man.
The giant stone Pokémon in the lake sealed an ancient giant Psychic-type Pokémon.
Twenty ordinary ones combined wouldn't be as big as this one.
And just a month ago.
A trio called Team Rocket had destroyed this Pokémon, releasing the giant Psychic-type Pokémon.
Fortunately, at that time, traveling trainers named Ash and Brock were there.
They managed to recapture the Psychic-type Pokémon into the Pokémon.
However, it was unfortunate.
The giant stone Pokémon used to capture the Psychic-type Pokémon last time was the last one.
If it were destroyed again this time, it wouldn't be capturable.
After speaking, the old man left, also urging Shang Ren to leave quickly.
Shang Ren would naturally not leave.
Why would their Ten-Year Team sneak into Team Rocket to go to space?
The objective was to obtain that cosmic Pokémon.
Now that he had encountered this ancient Psychic-type Pokémon, there was no reason to leave.
Thus.
He took out his satellite phone and sent a message to the Ten-Year Team.
Less than half an hour later, four or five large helicopters appeared in the sky, hovering overhead.
People wearing Ten-Year Team uniforms and masks descended via zip lines.
They looked at Shang Ren and asked, "Is the ancient Psychic-type Pokémon over there?"
Shang Ren nodded, "Yes, right there."
The person nodded and waved his hand. One of the helicopters in the sky flew above the Pokémon.
It directly dropped a missile.
Shang Ren was taken aback, "Aren't we taking this Pokémon back to the base directly?"
"There's no point in taking it back to the base. I've received news from above to capture this ancient Psychic-type Pokémon right here on this island."
As the two finished speaking.
A huge explosion occurred in the middle of the lake.
The giant stone Pokémon was blown open with a massive hole.
Immediately, a giant Psychic-type Pokémon flew out from within, hovering above the lake.
"Damn, it's that big?!"
Not only Shang Ren, but also the other members of the Ten-Year Team were greatly surprised.
Because this ancient Pokémon was truly enormous.
A normal Psychic-type Pokémon was about 1.5 meters tall.
This one was thirty to forty meters tall.
"Good! Capture it for me!!!!"
The Ten-Year Team immediately gave the order.
Instantly, the Ten-Year Team members in the helicopters took out their Pokémon and released them to attack the giant Psychic-type Pokémon.
Under the attacks of so many Pokémon, the giant Psychic-type Pokémon simply raised its hands, and Solar Beam and Ice Beam were simultaneously unleashed.
"What are you doing?!"
Just as the Ten-Year Team was attempting to capture the giant Psychic-type Pokémon, the old man from before returned.
Seeing this, Shang Ren said, "Old man, you should leave here quickly!"
The old man looked incredulously at the fierce battle in the lake.
To injure the giant Psychic-type Pokémon and facilitate its capture, even the helicopters were attacking.
"You! You will destroy this place!!!"
Hearing this.
The leader of the Ten-Year Team present appeared very displeased.
He pulled out a gun and aimed it at the old man.
The old man's pupils contracted fiercely.
Then, before the other party could fire, he obediently ran away.
...
"What's going on over there?"
On the way to Olivine City.
Ye Feng saw a distant island ablaze with continuous, intense explosions.
Ye Feng looked at the map.
If he wasn't mistaken, that was Izabe Island.
"Not my business."
Ye Feng ignored it and sped towards Olivine City.
Three days later.
Olivine City.
It was still an island city.
As soon as Ye Feng arrived in the city, he sensed its unusual aura.
Because the architectural style of the city and the clothing of its people were very ornate.
"Quick, go watch Master Juan's performance!"
On the street, countless women were running in the same direction, heading to see the performance of the local Gym Leader of Olivine City, the famous Coordinator Juan.
This was how things were these days; anyone could have fans, let alone someone like Juan, a renowned Coordinator with some talent.
Ye Feng also hurried over, as his purpose for coming here was to challenge the Gym Leader and obtain the final badge.
Outside the Olivine Gym, there was a performance pool.
At this moment, Juan was on stage performing.
As a Coordinator, Juan's attire and demeanor exuded a sense of gentlemanliness.
The elegant charm of the middle-aged man caused the female audience below to scream in delight.
Ye Feng watched from the side.
He felt that the performance was indeed quite good.
The performance lasted for about two hours.
After Juan signed autographs and took photos with the women, the crowd in the performance area gradually dispersed.
Ye Feng stood up.
At this moment, Juan was preparing to leave the stage and happened to make eye contact with Ye Feng.
As Juan was about to speak, a young man walked out from behind the stage.
The young man wore specific blue and white clothing.
A white hat, and his appearance was somewhat effeminate. His blue hair was quite long for a man.
Every movement exuded elegance and splendor.
Wallace, the Champion of the Hoenn League.
He was also a master Coordinator.
He often held the "Wallace Cup" Pokémon Contest in various places.
He was a world-renowned figure.
Wallace went on stage and smiled at Juan, "Teacher."
Juan also smiled at him, "When did you arrive?"
If the group of female fans hadn't left yet.
Seeing both teacher and student here would have caused them to scream with excitement.
Wallace gently brushed his hair back.
"Not long ago. It was too crowded here, so it wasn't suitable for me to come out."
Juan replied, "Oh, really? You, a master Coordinator, are afraid of these fans?"
Wallace smiled and said nothing more.
Ye Feng watched the two of them.
He hadn't expected that this Wallace was actually Juan's disciple.
What Ye Feng hadn't expected even more was.
"By the way, how are things between you and Naci?"
"Naci?"
Upon hearing the familiar name, Ye Feng's pupils constricted, feeling as if something interesting was about to happen.
