Chapter 412: Night Visit

After leaving Li Xiang's cat cafe and getting a lot of detailed information, Su Hao, who was full of rebellion, prepared to go to the Spiral Secret Realm to find out tonight.

Li Xiang was right; a high school student like Su Hao should stay at home and wait for adults to solve the problem.

Wait a while longer, and the experts gathered by the Shenzhou League will arrive in Yangcheng and start trying to forcibly enter the Spiral Secret Realm.

But by then, things will become more troublesome, and Su Hao has no thoughts about the infection source of the Pokémon's violent transformation; his goal is only Reshiram, who has called out to him.

If the League's experts arrive, I'm afraid the guard will be even stricter. Without Su Hao exposing Articuno, and with his father Su Xu also in seclusion, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get close to the Spiral Secret Realm.

Therefore, he must go in ahead of time.

As for the infection source, just leave it to the League. He is just a high school student passing by, looking for the Legendary Pokémon Reshiram who called him a hero.

"You want to try it outside?"

The words spoken by Diancie, who had inexplicable confidence on her face, made Su Hao frown.

To prevent the infection source in the Spiral Secret Realm from being like negative energy, which can erode Pokémon.

Su Hao planned to have himself and Articuno scout the way after entering the Spiral Secret Realm, while Diancie and the others would temporarily stay in their Poké Balls to prevent possible infection.

But Diancie proposed a request that she also wanted to stay outside and explore with Su Hao.

"Yeah! I have a feeling that thing can't pose a threat to me..."

Diancie's cheeks flushed slightly, her hands twisted together, and her face showed embarrassment.

Because this was just her feeling, there was no evidence to prove that she could be unaffected by the possible infection source.

Su Hao also showed embarrassment. For the sake of safety, reason told him that he didn't want Diancie to risk herself for an uncertain possibility.

But emotion told him that as a trainer, shouldn't he trust his partners?

Extremely conflicted, Su Hao looked at the fidgety Diancie and finally decided to take a gamble—trust Diancie's feeling.

"I... agree." Su Hao closed his eyes and took a long breath. Before Diancie could cheer, he opened his eyes and said: "However, we have to make a three-point agreement."

Diancie raised her arms to cheer, controlled her psychic power to float higher, and after making eye contact with Su Hao, nodded happily: "Mm-hmm! Three-point agreement, okay!"

Sighing helplessly, it had to be said that although Diancie had grown up after experiencing many things, she hadn't grown up much and was still very easy to understand.

"The first point of the three-point agreement: ask Articuno for its opinion first. Its experience is much more than ours, and for such unknown things, its opinion is very important."

Diancie nodded, reached out and poked the Master Ball at Su Hao's waist, acting coquettishly: "Uncle/Aunt Articuno, can I?"

"..."

Articuno didn't expect that it would be involved while just watching the show. It left the Master Ball autonomously.

Shimmering suspicious ice crystal dust appeared along with Articuno. After appearing elegantly without losing its status, Articuno squinted its eyes and said indifferently: "Little Diancie fused with the light you mentioned and evolved, so she is essentially different from other Diancie."

"Perhaps her intuition is right. With her new talent, she might really have a resistance talent against the source of that strange black energy."

After finishing its thoughts, Articuno looked at Su Hao, waiting for his answer.

"... Okay, since you think so too, then I have no reason to stop it, but..."

Articuno nodded, sighing that Su Hao was indeed teachable. Then, the "but" that Su Hao suddenly said made it tilt its head in confusion: "But?"

Diancie was also uneasy: "But...?"

Veins popped out on Su Hao's forehead. He clenched his fists and couldn't help it anymore: "You are the God of Ice. I have no opinion on you creating special effects yourself when you appear to show off."

Articuno was startled, suddenly realizing something, and cold sweat broke out instantly.

Su Hao

stared at his living room, which looked like it had been soaked in rain. The floor, sofa, ornaments, and table were all wet from the water after the ice dust melted.

"How many times have I told you, don't mess with your nonsense special effects when appearing indoors!"

"Before we set off, clean it up for me immediately!"

"Coo... is this your attitude toward the God of Ice, actually wanting me to clean up!?" Articuno said stubbornly.

Su Hao wasn't afraid of it, and his voice rang out slowly: "Speaking of which, the chess game I promised you hasn't been played yet. Since we have something to do, why not cancel it?"

"Coo... kill, no, I was wrong..."

The God of Ice lowered its high head in humiliation.

"The first point of the three-point agreement: get the consent of Uncle/Aunt Articuno."

"The second point: don't be reckless when encountering danger, and follow Su Hao's judgment."

"The third point: don't throw a tantrum after being forcibly returned to the Poké Ball in an emergency."

Diancie counted on her fingers and repeated them one by one.

She raised her voice and shouted energetically: "I will abide by them!"

"Good, very spirited!"

"No time to lose, let's set off after packing up!"

Su Hao checked the time. It was 11:00 PM. If they set off now, they would probably arrive near the Spiral Secret Realm by dawn.

At midnight, the pitch-black night seemed to be devouring people. There were no moon or stars in the sky, only gloomy undercurrents. Dust and mist, invisible to the naked eye, lingered in the night, like a thick black cloth covering the entire city.

"Hmm... the situation looks a bit serious."

Wearing a black three-piece suit that could hide his tracks in the night, Su Hao looked up at the sky and couldn't help but sigh that the celestial phenomenon tonight looked like a storm was coming, extremely oppressive.

This extremely oppressive atmosphere was the first time Su Hao had seen it in the seventeen years he had lived in Yangcheng.

"Let's hurry over. Ever since I came back, I've had an increasingly bad premonition."

Articuno's serious voice rang in Su Hao's mind. Even it felt that the closer it got to the night, the heavier the atmosphere became.

Su Hao nodded and closed the door, his black sneakers rubbing against the ground lightly: "Okay." ===== CHAPTER 413 =====
