Chapter 310: Where am I?

A small forest with dense trees and a slightly gloomy tone welcomed two strange guests at this moment.

"No signal..."

Articuno returned to the Master Ball, and in Her place, Diancie accompanied Su Hao quietly.

Su Hao sat on a rock, fiddling with his phone with a serious expression.

Now, not only was there no signal on his phone, but even the timer function was in disarray.

"Was it broken while in the Spirit World, or did it break after coming to this secret realm?"

At that time, Su Hao had no time to take out his phone to check the situation. It was only now that Articuno said there were no individuals with significant threats nearby that he dared to calm down and investigate carefully.

Diancie sat obediently on a stone, dozens of small diamonds in her hands forming a small diamond storm in an orderly fashion.

This was a lesson she needed to practice every day. Su Hao had told her that since her mutation, her energy reserves and physique had soared tremendously.

As a price, the growth in power brought difficulty in control. Now, in battles, she relied on her powerful physique and energy to suppress opponents with "quantity."

There was nothing wrong with this; Diancie's own strength was not affected at all. After all, having more favorable conditions than ordinary Pokémon was also part of strength, but this was far from enough for the path she wanted to take in the future.

More precise and refined control over her own power was a direction she could attempt.

"First, master all your own power, and then try to create your own path."

This was the suggestion Su Hao gave to Diancie, who had hit wall after wall in the shaping step.

Now, whenever Diancie had nothing to do, she would perform various exercises: controlling the power of moves, improving her control over energy, learning acting, and so on.

"Diancie, let's go." Su Hao patted the dust off his pants and stood up.

After thinking it over, Su Hao decided to first find out what kind of secret realm this gloomy-looking place was, and where he was now. Was he still within the Shenzhou Alliance?

"Okay~"

Diancie dissipated the energy she was continuously injecting into her hands, and the diamonds that had been rotating at a stable speed turned into light dust and disappeared.

She slightly accelerated her floating speed and caught up with Su Hao, who was walking in front, in a few moments.

"What are we going to do now?" Diancie blinked and tilted her head to ask Su Hao.

Su Hao lowered his head slightly and explained patiently: "Articuno said that the teleportation location of the teleportation tunnel is random. It might teleport to the real world, or it might teleport to a secret realm, so we have to determine where this is first."

Speaking of this, Su Hao looked at the endless trees and felt a bit troubled.

This was endless.

Diancie, who was clever and sensitive, sensed Su Hao's thoughts and volunteered: "I'll go to the sky and take a look!"

After speaking, Diancie skillfully released her telekinesis and performed a "stepping on the left foot to go to the sky."

Pale purple telekinesis carried her slowly upward. Without the cover of the tree canopy, the boundless forest and the heavy dark clouds in the sky appeared in Diancie's line of sight.

Silent lightning flashed through the rolling dark clouds from time to time, looking like it was about to rain.

After observing for a long time, Diancie squinted her eyes and investigated carefully before seeing several large mountains made of rock in the north not far away!

Afterward, Diancie, who had observed carefully for a long time, could not find any other clues, so she could only puff her cheeks and land on the ground with regret.

"Rock mountains? Since that's the case, we can only move toward there. I hope this rain falls later."

Su Hao touched his chin and decided to explore toward the direction Diancie mentioned.

With Diancie leading the way, Su Hao followed behind her and walked toward the north.

He refused Diancie's suggestion to carry him with telekinesis, after all, the distance shouldn't be too far.

The time on the road passed quickly. The heavy dark clouds above were even more stifling, and a solemn aura of "black clouds pressing down on the city" came toward them.

The air around his nose was full of the smell of water vapor. Su Hao looked at the increasingly

stifling sky and knew that today ended here.

"It seems that today ends here. Let's find a place to hide from the rain."

Su Hao sighed. In any case, traveling in a thunderstorm was not a correct choice. After all, to cope with Pokémon with powerful strength, the natural lightning in this world was also very scary...

"Hmm, then I'll build a small hut~"

Diancie volunteered again. She had a lot of scenes today, so she must do it well!

"Sorry to trouble you."

Diancie exerted her creativity. First, she found a location where the trees were relatively sparse and flat.

She closed her eyes and pushed her hands forward—

"Rumble—"

A loud vibration sounded, and a small rock hut that looked a bit abstract rose rapidly from the ground in front of Diancie.

The rain poured down, the wind howled, and lightning flashed across the sky covered with dark clouds. Bright white lines seemed to tear the sky apart. Not long after each winding white line flashed across the sky, deafening thunder exploded after a delay, as if nature had let out an angry roar.

The rain poured down, hitting the puddles, leaves, and rock houses on the ground with a pitter-patter, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.

Su Hao considered that Diancie had walked all the way with him, so he took her back into the Luxury Ball and released Incineroar to keep watch.

Although the appearance of the hut built by Diancie was unique, the rain-proof function and anti-waterlogging structure were all considered. Thanks to this small rock hut, otherwise, Su Hao could only hide from the rain under a tree.

"Ka-roar~" Incineroar lay beside Su Hao and yawned.

Incineroar had slept for a long time during the day, so he wasn't very sleepy now. He occasionally added some wood to the small heater in front of him, and occasionally spat a few sparks from his mouth to increase the firepower.

He was on watch tonight, while Su Hao was sleeping directly on the ground wrapped in a sleeping bag.

He didn't yawn because he was sleepy, but just felt a bit bored, so bored that he wanted to do a few push-ups to exercise.

But considering that the movement might wake Su Hao up, Incineroar obediently maintained his lying posture beside the sleeping Su Hao.

The rain fell harder and harder, and the thunder continued to sound. Incineroar even thought that someone was undergoing a tribulation in the sky.

"Patter... patter... patter."

The sound of something stepping through a puddle appeared abruptly.

Incineroar, who was thinking that he would spend the night in a daze, moved his ears, as if he sensed something approaching the small stone hut...

Incineroar's muscles were tense all over. Just as he intended to wake Su Hao to fight, a rhythmic knocking on the door sounded.

Knock, knock, knock.
