Chapter 1345: Four masks = four health bars

Su Hao was not yet aware of the changes occurring in the outside world. After returning to the vicinity of the camp, he discovered a fact.

The spatial channel that could lead out of the secret realm was still fluctuating; he was temporarily trapped within the North Township Secret Realm. It seemed that until the spatial channel stabilized, he could only wander within the secret realm.

However, this was not necessarily a bad thing. It was a good opportunity to settle down in the secret realm for a while, organize his gains, and incidentally help Ogerpon find its remaining three masks.

Before accompanying Ogerpon to find the masks, Su Hao let all his Pokémon out of their Poké Balls, except for Reshiram, and sent them to "hunt" for Terastal crystals, then bring them back to be fed to Cyclizar.

Since he now knew that Cyclizar's true form was a Mythical Pokémon on the same level as Reshiram, there was no need to think about making Cyclizar fight for and eat the Terastal crystals itself. It was better to help it recover some strength early.

Incidentally, this would also allow the Pokémon to practice against Terastallized Pokémon in advance.

For some reason, the usually stubborn Cyclizar had no objections to Su Hao's decision. The dozen or so Pokémon scattered to pursue the pillars of light shooting into the sky from the Terastallization phenomenon, while Su Hao and Ogerpon ran to the vicinity of the original force field to begin searching for the real masks among the pile of imitations.

The masks had been blown outside at the time, so they must have been mixed in with the imitations, but searching for the real ones in a mountain of masks accumulated over so many years was no easy task.

Fortunately, Ogerpon had a vague sense of its own masks and could determine the general direction. Coupled with Su Hao's ability to accurately distinguish between the real masks and the imitations, he had the confidence to re-collect the other three masks.

Even so, Su Hao and Ogerpon started looking for the masks in the early morning and didn't find the last one—the Teal Mask, which Ogerpon loved to wear the most—until nightfall.

In a sense, Su Qing's luck in accurately "winning the lottery" to find the Wellspring Mask was truly heaven-defying.

"Poni... poni~~"

Having retrieved its three masks, Ogerpon was so happy that it walked with a bounce in its step, humming an unknown tune; one look was enough to tell that it was in a great mood.

Walking on the return path, Su Hao asked curiously, "Ogerpon, can you perform that again?"

"Poni?"

Ogerpon tilted its head, not understanding why Su Hao was so surprised. ===== CHAPTER 1346 =====
