Chapter 1014: Ultra Wormhole Special Task Force

By the time Li Xiang finished dealing with the two Xurkitree and wasted several crates of Ultra Balls to capture them, more than half an hour had passed since Su Hao contacted him.

It took nearly an hour for the anxious Li Xiang to finally find time to rush to the power plant Su Hao mentioned.

Luxray sprinted over like a bolt of lightning. Li Xiang, who was riding on it, immediately held a Poké Ball and jumped off, looking around nervously, and shouted to Su Hao, who was idling nearby: "Where's the Ultra Beast!?"

Su Hao blinked, showed the Poké Ball he was tossing around in his hand, and said: "Right here, Boss Li."

"I've been waiting for you for almost half an hour. If I didn't know exactly which direction you were in, I would have come to find you directly."

Li Xiang: "???"

Li Xiang exclaimed in shock: "You captured it with one Poké Ball!?"

"How did you do it!?"

Su Hao forgot the dark history of losing hundreds of Ultra Balls to catch Blacephalon and said with a "Versailles" attitude: "Nothing special, just practice makes perfect."

"It's very simple. Just beat it to its knees, and then force it to go back to do... *ahem*, force it to enter the Poké Ball."

Li Xiang: "........."

I recognize every word, but I don't understand them when put together.

But Li Xiang knew that Su Hao must be showing off.

This time, without waiting for Su Hao to ask, Li Xiang pondered for a moment and invited Su Hao: "Are you free? Can you come with me for a trip?"

Su Hao played with the Poké Ball containing Xurkitree and smiled: "Of course."

In an inconspicuous small warehouse on the outskirts of Mingjin City, the Shenzhou Alliance's Ultra Wormhole Special Task Force was temporarily operating in secret.

Data streams flashed rapidly across the neatly arranged computer screens, and everyone was at their posts monitoring.

At a seat, a liaison officer raised a hand and said: "Report!"

"Speak!"

A middle-aged man with a dignified face paced over with his hands behind his back. If Su Hao were here, he would definitely recognize that this man was Miao Yin, one of the Twelve Earthly Branches—Tiger, who had taken him to Rota to obtain Lucario and had once invited him to join the Seed Project, an existence in the shadows of the Shenzhou Alliance.

The liaison officer swallowed and read the text on the paper in his hand: "It has been confirmed that the R Research Institute has deployed a reagent made of a new type of technology to random gathering places of wild Electric-type Pokémon. After the reagent is exposed to the air, it and the container will gradually disappear within a period of time. This is also the countdown to the opening of the Ultra Wormhole."

"The principle is speculated to be that it enhances the desire for electricity in the Electric-type Pokémon that come into contact with the reagent, causing them to go berserk. The energy dissipated when the Electric-type Pokémon absorb the power from the power plant, under the influence of some unknown technology or power, opens the Ultra Wormhole."

"..." Miao Yin was silent for a moment, his face turned stern, and he asked: "Are you sure this is what those analysts analyzed, and not a joke?"

"At a time when we haven't yet established a mature early warning system for Ultra Wormhole openings, a small bottle of reagent can open that mysterious Ultra Wormhole!?"

"What kind of black technology is this! Could it be that the R Research Institute's technological level is decades ahead of us?"

The liaison officer responded weakly: "Lord Miao Yin, I am just reporting the report from over there to you word for word."

"... Fine." Miao Yin didn't intend to make things difficult for the liaison officer; his previous words were just blurted out due to shock. He asked again: "Then have the statistics from the front line been calculated? How many Ultra Wormholes have been opened, and are there any requests for assistance?"

The liaison officer said: "Sixty percent of the power plants have experienced varying degrees of wild Electric-type Pokémon 'violent behavior', all of which have been suppressed by trainers, but the data on property damage has not yet been calculated."

"And the opening rate of Ultra Wormholes is extremely low. A total of six Ultra Wormholes were opened in the sky, and they closed the moment the Ultra Beasts appeared. Analysis suggests that the reagent needs certain conditions to open an Ultra Wormhole; it is not a 100% opening."

Miao Yin paused and asked: "

Wasn't there only five Ultra Wormholes when reported before?"

"There was another one that was resolved shortly after it opened."

"Huh, isn't the strength of Ultra Beasts basically at least top-tier Professional level? Which powerful trainer did the Ultra Beast descend in front of?"

"Uh... regarding this, the special investigator sent over will explain it to you. Calculating the time of the report, they should be here soon."

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

As soon as the liaison officer finished speaking, Li Xiang opened the small door with Su Hao. The creaking sound of the dilapidated small warehouse was very harsh, and for a moment, everyone in the warehouse cast their eyes toward this side.

"Yo, long time no see, everyone!" Li Xiang, as if he were socially anxious, didn't care about everyone's gazes and waved to say hello.

"To be precise, it hasn't even been half a day since you left here to complete the mission." Miao Yin tightened his collar. Although he was talking to Li Xiang, his gaze fell on Su Hao, who was following Li Xiang and looking well-behaved. Miao Yin sighed: "How can you get involved in every incident?"

Su Hao was silent for a moment and chose to act cute.

(＜ゝ·) Ehe~☆

Li Xiang, Miao Yin, and everyone: "........."

After a series of mission reports, Miao Yin figured out what Li Xiang and Su Hao had done, and Su Hao also learned what this place was.

The Ultra Wormhole Special Task Force, a special task force established secretly since he handed over Blacephalon and helped the Shenzhou Alliance catch the first Ultra Beast.

Now it is commanded by Miao Yin, who is relatively free on weekdays and has no mission pressure. The task force has only one mission—to protect the safety of ordinary people from the threat of Ultra Wormholes.

Miao Yin gave Su Hao, who was focused on competing, a rough overview of the current international situation regarding Ultra Wormholes.

The Shenzhou Alliance is committed to developing a mature early warning system to provide warnings before Ultra Wormholes descend and to dispatch combat power to fight and contain Ultra Beasts.

A few alliances, such as the USA Alliance and the Sakura Alliance, want to explore the world on the other side of the Ultra Wormholes.

There are also many alliances that are troubled by the randomness of the appearance of Ultra Wormholes and the aggressiveness and danger of the Ultra Beasts that appear inside.

Miao Yin said: "In fact, the number of Ultra Wormholes opened within the Shenzhou Alliance during this period is not frequent. Including today's six, there are barely a dozen cases. On the contrary, there are many occurrences in the USA Alliance and the Sakura Alliance."

"However, we have now mastered an important piece of intelligence—the R Research Institute, which has intricate connections with the Nova Organization active in foreign alliances, possesses the power to actively open Ultra Wormholes."

"This matter will have to trouble Special Investigator Li Xiang to reflect it to Interpol to see if we can facilitate a siege operation against these two organizations."
