Chapter 1224

The advance investigation team, ordered by the Queen of Great Britain to go deep into the Augusto Mountains, led by Elite Four member Alston, began to investigate the tremors of the Augusto Mountains and the event of legendary-level energy erupting above.

The clues were too obvious. The tunnel that pierced through over a hundred meters of rock led directly to the institute built deep underground. Except for being careful about the risk of being burned by touching the high-heat rock walls, it was almost direct, without any danger.

Until Alston, who was leading the team, witnessed the dozens of people who had large-scale burns all over their bodies but were strangely hanging on by a thread, his first reaction was to call the emergency squad.

But when his subordinate handed him several stacks of paper materials, and he saw those research data and details that made his back go cold, Alston only felt a surge of blood rushing to his head. His red eyes glared at those "people," and he roared: "Beasts! Beasts!"

Alston himself was a member of the high-ranking officials, and naturally knew that there were no lack of people among the upper echelons who treated Pokémon completely as tools for battle. That, although bad, was still much better than these scum who conducted inhumane experiments on Pokémon with intelligence and treated them as consumables.

When smaller evils are compared with extreme evil, the gap can even be compared to the gap between good and evil.

As an inspirational figure who climbed from the civilian class to the position of Elite Four and was promoted by the Great Britain Alliance, Alston regarded Pokémon as his most important existence. Seeing these data, he only felt his heart ache a little.

"Mr. Alston, we found Mr. Charles and his son Ian, who have already died, among those research personnel."

The subordinate's report made Alston temporarily break free from his anger, and he frowned and asked: "How could they be here?"

He also knew Charles, the boss of the Dominic Company. The Great Britain Alliance was able to develop technology to stably utilize Dynamax energy for Dynamaxing, and the Dominic Company had played no small role.

"Uh..."

The subordinate led Alston to Charles's corpse. Looking at Charles, who looked like a cooked shrimp, and Ian, whose injuries could only be considered moderate burns compared to those beasts, Alston fell silent.

The subordinate was obviously hesitant to speak. Alston, whose mood was not very good, said again: "Feel free to say it."

Only then did the subordinate speak cautiously: "After genetic comparison, although this person had all of Mr. Charles's identity items on him, he completely failed to match the genes Mr. Charles left in the database, pointing completely to another stranger."

"As for Young Master Ian, it is still the person himself, but the emergency squad, in addition to the burns, also checked that his brain had traces of violent memory modification, and the damage is very serious."

Alston closed his eyes as if to escape reality: "What about the institute? Is it a private institute?"

"It is... a branch of the R Research Institute, and this fake Mr. Charles is the person in charge here."

BOOM!!

The subordinate's voice exploded in Alston's mind like a bomb. He knew that once he reported the results to the Queen, the Great Britain Alliance would change.

In order to research Dynamaxing, the cooperation between the Dominic Company and the Great Britain Alliance...

"That blue flame was probably to attract us here, right? Who on earth is tA? Was it the evil deeds of the R Research Institute that attracted the wrath of that unknown legend?"

Alston's voice was full of exhaustion. The intricate clues were like a messy ball of yarn.

R Research Institute, Dominic, Charles, and that unknown god who controlled the blue flames—why did the other party, after causing such a big scene in Tokyo, Sakura Alliance, come to the Great Britain Alliance unknowingly and specifically lead them here?

There were too many mysteries, and Alston only felt his head aching.

Su Hao, who had left after finishing his business, did not know Alston's struggle and confusion. At this time, he had already left the branch of the R Research Institute. The Great Britain Alliance would make appropriate dispositions for those people later.

After all, their existence was equivalent to an indelible stain on the Great Britain Alliance internationally. Cooperating with people from the R Research Institute for many years to develop Dynamaxing was really ironic.

Su Hao believed that the Queen would hate those people and the R Research Institute even more than he did. Thinking about it, before long,

the Great Britain Alliance would become a firm crusade faction.

At this moment, Su Hao was standing at the corner of a tunnel, looking at this place with curiosity.

That faint feeling told him that as long as he crossed this corner, he would be identified by the Sacred Diamond and brought into the Ore Kingdom.

This way of crossing was quite novel. Su Hao was becoming more and more curious about what the authority controlled by Queen Diancie was; the Sacred Diamond could actually exert such an effect.

Without too much hesitation, Su Hao walked toward the corner.

There was no spinning of the world, nor any discomfort. Just turning a corner, he saw the luxurious street of the Ore Kingdom filled with various gems. Everything was connected very naturally, just as if that corner had originally led to the Ore Kingdom.

After marveling again, Su Hao looked at the Carbink who had reacted differently because of his sudden appearance, knowing that it wouldn't be long before the news of his arrival in the Ore Kingdom reached Queen Diancie's ears.

After a while, a familiar Aura approached quickly.

Su Hao looked up and found that the person coming was none other than the captain of the Carbink Guard, A-Yi.

Seeing Su Hao, the distinguished guest who had gained the friendship of the Ore Kingdom, A-Yi was very happy. It withdrew its serious aura and quickly said: "Su Hao! Her Majesty the Queen asked me to pick you up!"

Su Hao smiled and nodded. He found that not only were there no other members of the Carbink Guard behind A-Yi, but even Xiao Qi was not there. After nodding to show he knew, he couldn't help but curiously ask: "Why isn't Xiao Qi here?"

Mentioning Xiao Qi, A-Yi was obviously a bit angry and said puffily: "Although Her Majesty the Queen didn't say anything, the fact that it snuck out of the Ore Kingdom is undeniable. Now it is being locked at home reflecting on itself."

"That's really..." Su Hao gave a few awkward laughs.

Indeed, if the hidden Ore Kingdom were discovered because Xiao Qi ran around, there would probably be no peaceful days here.

Greedy treasure hunters, Trainers who came for the reputation, high-ranking officials from various alliances who wanted to reach cooperation with Queen Diancie, and even those ambitious people who coveted Queen Diancie's power were all troublesome things.

I don't know if it saw what Su Hao was thinking, but A-Yi suddenly said: "However, Her Majesty the Queen was also prepared to let the Ore Kingdom appear in the world after a while, so Xiao Qi's behavior was not pursued by the Diamond Minister."
