Chapter 587: The Ultimate Ball, Xin, Lets Go to Alola!
Across the table, his uncle saw the change in Xia Chen's eyes and asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Chen, do you know anything?"
Xia Chen retracted his thoughts and replied: "I have some ideas. I will leave for Alola after the New Year."
The uncle hesitated for a while, nodded, and sighed softly: "Your parents don't want me to tell you, probably because they are worried about you, but I think you have the right to choose, not to mention that you still have
So with the help of Luton and Deoxys..."
Xia Chen, in turn, comforted his uncle, "I understand. Thank you for telling me. No matter what, I have to figure out their disappearance before I can feel at ease."
The conversation ended in a solemn atmosphere, and the two left after drinking coffee.
After staying at Ming Yi's house for a while, Xia Chen returned to Yuanling Island.
Returning to his room, he took out the storage ball with the Aether Foundation logo.
If the prediction is good, there should be some information related to the disappearance of the parents.
This is the first generation storage ball developed by Silver Company. It has a small capacity and is very simple to use.
Press the button on the storage ball and everything inside will come out.
With a "click" sound, Xia Chen opened the storage ball that contained many mysteries.
The things inside are very simple, a Poké Ball and a letter.
The elf ball was purple in color and had a grid-like pattern. Although it was somewhat different from what he remembered in the game, Xia Chen could still recognize that it was an ultimate ball.
Sure enough, it is related to the ultimate alien beast.
After his guess was confirmed, Xia Chen felt much calmer.
Of course there was no Ultra Beast in the Ultra Ball. After rubbing the shiny and new Poke Ball for a while, he opened the envelope.
Juan Xiu's handwriting seemed to be written by a woman, and Xia Chen began to read the specific content of the letter.
"To you in the future, I'm not sure who you will be reading this line, and I don't know what the outside world will be like when this letter is opened. I just hope that the [alien invasion] event that we are most worried about will not happen.
will happen......"
…………
The entire letter contains thousands of words.
The main content of the first half is Xia Chen's parents introducing their work content.
Nine years ago, that is, the fifth year before disappearing, they came into contact with the Aether Foundation in the Alola region during a business trip and met Lusamine and his wife.
Xia Chen's parents and this wealthy couple met because of their common love for elves. Under the latter's persuasion, they resigned from their posts at Donghuang and became senior elf researchers at the Ether Foundation.
After joining, Xia Chen's parents discovered that everything was not as simple as they thought.
Below the surface, the Aether Foundation is studying the secret work of elves from another world!
They are called [Ultimate Alien Beasts], and a total of five types have been discovered so far, each with its own codename——
[Parasite Beast] Xuwuide, [Expansion] Explosive Muscle Mosquito, [Beautiful] Philo Mantis, [Thunder and Lightning] Electric Beam Wood, and [Cleave] Paper Sword.
They are the same as the several ultimate beasts in Xia Chen's memory, but the number is less than half. There are no records of Iron Fire Kaguya, Evil Eater King, and Bang-headed Clown, and they are probably not discovered yet.
Information about the existing ultra-exotic beasts is posted at the end of this letter.
My parents were worried that after the alien beasts invaded, humans would know nothing about these powerful and strange elves, so they tried their best to keep everything they knew, including their attributes and weaknesses.
In addition, the most valuable information revealed in this letter is that the Ethereum Foundation has a means of communicating with the Ultimate World.
But they only knew that the specific method of how to do it was in the hands of Lusamine and his wife.
The purpose of Xia Chen's parents going there this time was to have a showdown with them——
The ultimate beast is too dangerous. If the passage to and from it is completely opened, it will cause great damage and impact on the world.
The scary thing is that they may also know that this trip will not go smoothly, otherwise what is the point of leaving this letter?
In short, the disappearance of the parents is definitely related to the Aether Foundation and Lusamine!
Xia Chen closed the letters and put them back into the storage ball along with the Ultimate Ball. After thinking for a moment, he called out Rotom on his mobile phone.
"Rotom, help me collect all information related to the Aether Foundation."
"Okay, Lotto~"
After a while, Rotom retrieved information about the Aether Foundation.
Xia Chen first browsed it roughly, and found nothing as expected. Then he added keywords such as "alien beast" and "ultimate" and cleared the content directly.
Xia Chen exhaled slowly. Sure enough, they would not openly put this confidential information on the Internet.
The efficiency of searching information online is a bit too low.
After thinking about it, Xia Chen decided to ask Sirona and Cattleya tomorrow. They are both top leaders of their respective alliances. Maybe they know something about Lusamine and the Aether Foundation?
After making up his mind, Xia Chen put away his disturbing thoughts, meditated for a while to calm down, then washed up and went to sleep.
A night of silence.
…………
The next morning, Xia Chen found Sirona and Cattleya playing games in the living room.
"Are you free? Can I ask you something?"
Normally, he would not choose to disturb the two of them while they were playing, but today something special happened and he felt anxious.
Cattleya was still manipulating the handle fiercely, and replied in a double-minded manner: "You tell me, I'm listening."
Sirona noticed that Xia Chen's mood today was a little subtle, so she put down the controller and listened quietly.
The two of them were playing a fighting game called "Elf Battle". Sirona stopped playing, and Cattleya had no fun playing it. She pouted and put down the controller.
Xia Chen smiled apologetically at the two of them and asked directly without beating around the bush, "I want to tell you about Lusamine, the richest man in Alola and the one who founded the Aether Foundation."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hearing this, both of them frowned. They obviously did not expect that Xia Chen would ask someone who was far away in the Alola region and had never interacted with them before.
Information.
"What are you asking her for? Are you interested in someone else? Even if her husband disappears, she is already the mother of two children..."
Such an offbeat answer certainly came from Cattleya.
If he was in a good mood, Xia Chen might respond with a joke like "Really? Then I like it better."
But now he ignored Cattleya's teasing. Instead, he grabbed the key information and asked: "You mean her husband disappeared? When did it happen?"
This point was not mentioned in the information just found on the Internet. Looking back now, Xia Chen realized that something was wrong. It turned out that there was so little information about Dr. Moen that something was wrong.
In the game, Dr. Morn is an expert in the study of the Ultra Cave and the Ultra Beasts, and was even the first person to discover the Ultra Cave.
Later, he disappeared during an investigation. The reason why Lusamine was so persistent in going to the ultimate world was to find her husband.
It turns out that Morn has also disappeared in this world?
"What happened three years ago, I remember it was June 22."
Over there, Cattleya has given the answer accurately. For her, as long as she has an impression, she can remember the details clearly.
"Moen's disappearance caused quite a stir at the time, but the Ethereum Foundation didn't know why it deliberately concealed and sealed this information. Now the incident can hardly be found online."
Xia Chen pondered slightly, it was July 22, it was more than a year later than his parents disappeared.
Maybe there is some connection between the two disappearances?
At this time, Sirona on the side suddenly interjected: "I have met Lusamine and even visited her [Ether Paradise]. She always gives me a strange feeling. On the surface, she is a person who loves elves very much. In fact, she is a person who loves elves very much.
But she shows a very strong desire for control in every detail, and she is a very strong woman."
Xia Chen nodded. This character sounded similar to Lusamine in the game.
This is what Sirona can detect on the surface, and there is no guarantee that there is a deeper dark side in the darkness.
The personality is an internal factor, and there are also external stimuli such as the ultimate beast and the disappearance of her husband. Lusamine's darkening is not difficult to understand.
I just don’t know how dark she is now.
…………
Sirona and Cattleya's knowledge of the Aether Foundation is limited to this, and they don't even know about the existence of the ultimate beast.
Although there is a reason why Alola is in a remote location and rarely communicates with other major alliances, it can also be seen that Lusamine is very strict about blocking information.
If you want to investigate this matter in depth, a trip to Alola yourself is the best way.
Xia Chen originally planned to go to Alola in February or March next year, but now it seems that the plan has to be moved forward. He plans to set off after Sirona and Cattleya leave Yuanling Island.
This time is coming very quickly. After all, the two are the current champions of their respective regions. The league has a lot of things to deal with at the beginning of every year.
So after half a month of vacation, they left Yuanling Island and returned to Sinnoh and Hezhong.
Xia Chen did not hide from them that he was going to the Alola region. He informed Sirona of this plan very early.
The latter didn't worry too much. After all, she didn't understand the ultimate beast and felt that there weren't many things that could threaten Xia Chen.
This is indeed the case. As long as they don't encounter Necrozma, Luton and Deoxys can solve most problems.
On January 15th, after Xia Chen took care of some affairs on Yuanling Island, he left Donghuang and set off for the Alola region.
The Alola region is south of the Hezhu region, located in a vast ocean, thousands of kilometers away from Donghuang.
Xia Chen didn't want to bother with such a long journey. Although it was indeed very fast, it would be tiring to fly such a long distance.
However, there was no direct flight from Zhijiang to Alola. After flying to Nandu first, Xia Chen transferred to Haolo City, the largest city on Melemele Island in Alola.
His strong mental strength prevented him from having to worry about adjusting to jet lag.
After meditating deeply for several hours during the flight, Xia Chen was still in high spirits when he set foot on the passionate land of Alola.
Warmth doesn't mean the local atmosphere, but Alola is really hot.
This world is also a planet similar to the Earth. The Alola region, located near the equator, naturally has a hot climate all year round.
This made Xia Chen, who had just flown from Donghuang in the cold winter, quite uncomfortable. The elves in the team were more energetic than they were in Donghuang.
When you step off the plane, you are greeted by the hot and humid sea breeze unique to tropical areas.
Xia Chen walked to the pick-up area and looked around, and then he found the person who came to pick him up - Dr. Oak in the form of Alola.
At the same time, the black-skinned wood also spotted Xia Chen and waved to him enthusiastically: "Aloha! Dr. Xia Chen, I'm here!"
Xia Chen waved in response, then strode towards him.
…………
Black-skinned Omu's real name is Chengye Omu. He is Dr. Omu's cousin in the Alola region and the principal of the Alola Elf School.
Considering that it would be more convenient to have a local person to receive him and inquire about the Aether Foundation, Xia Chen contacted Dr. Oki before departure, and under his introduction, he caught up with his cousin Seiya Oki who was far away in Alola.
Dr. Oak, who was in Alola form, readily agreed to receive Xia Chen.
Ohmu Chengya looks very similar to Dr. Ohmu, but he looks younger, and his skin is bronzed by the abundant and excessive sunlight in the Alola region.
The long, light blond shawl hair and the strong figure under the plaid shirt highlight this guy's unruly personality.
In a comic with an unspeakable theme, his appearance would be unworthy of a few honest people.
Although the reality is not that outrageous, Oki Chengya's character is indeed much more enthusiastic than his cousin.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As soon as he started, he gave Xia Chen a hug very naturally, showing two rows of white teeth: "Welcome to Alola, you will definitely like it here!"
Xia Chen smiled and replied: "Thank you, I think it will be possible."
Putting aside the troublesome things like the ultimate beasts, Alola is indeed a veritable tourist destination in terms of scenery and environment.
Damucheng also patted Xia Chen on the shoulder, laughed loudly and said, "Let's go, get in the car, I'll take you to your residence first, and we'll talk on the way."
Then the two walked out of the airport together.
Damucheng also drives a convertible sports car with a stylish look. In this world, there is a magical black technology like storage balls, which makes traveling much more convenient.
Even to pick up people, you don’t need to drive a big car that can pull goods. A sports car comes and goes, cool and stylish.
This is the peak travel period in Alola, and there is a lot of traffic on the road. No matter how good the road conditions are, the car can only drive slowly.
Damucheng also took this opportunity to chat with Xia Chen.
"What is Dr. Xia Chen doing here in Alola? Traveling? Or do you want to conquer the elves here? Or research on elves?"
Xia Chen replied: "Traveling, but if you have the opportunity, it's not a bad idea to do some research. By the way, don't call me Doctor. Just call me Xiaoxia like Dr. Omu."
Damucheng also smiled heartily, "Okay, then I will ask you to call me Xiaoxia, and you can live in the dormitory of our school during this period. Don't worry, the place is enough for you and the elf."
Xia Chen asked curiously: "The school, is it the Alola Elf School?"
Damucheng also nodded and said: "Yes, although there are not many people in our school, it is a big place. I will give you a tour when the time comes."
"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."
Xia Chen responded casually, his mind racing with thoughts.
Alola Pokémon School is probably a replica of the Pokémon School in the anime.
Will he meet Lillie, Suiren, Kaki and Mao in school?
