Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

"Then let's split up and search!" Ange said.

"Okay!" Carina and Cynthia nodded in unison.

Immediately, the three of them rode their respective Flying-type Pokémon and entered the forest in three different directions.

This forest looked very fertile, inhabited by many Pokémon. Ange, riding on Latios, flew through the forest and saw flocks of Starly, Bibarel and Bidoof playing by the water, and Glameow and Roselia chasing each other on the grass…

When these Pokémon saw Ange flying over their heads, they stopped what they were doing and followed Ange with curious eyes.

Latios flew very fast, and Ange's eyes quickly scanned every corner of the forest.

Suddenly, a huge rock in the center of the forest caught his attention.

The boulder was covered with moss, making it impossible to see its original appearance. There were also several Oddish chasing each other on top.

Seeing this, Ange commanded Latios: "Let's go, let's go down and take a look."

"Woo~" Latios nodded and swooped down towards the boulder.

When the Oddish saw Ange coming, they hurriedly jumped off the boulder in panic and hid in the nearby bushes, secretly observing Ange.

It was not until Ange approached the boulder that he realized that this should have been a huge statue, and the boulder Ange saw was actually the base of the statue.

As for the statue itself…

Ange turned his head and looked around, and sure enough, he found a clue not far away.

In the dense grass, a stone statue was deeply buried underground, with only half of its head exposed.

Ange felt that if he guessed correctly, it should be a statue of Dialga.

Then he searched again, and sure enough, he saw a statue of Palkia in the woods not far from the grass.

Although the statue of Palkia was not buried as deeply as the statue of Dialga, half of its body was gone.

Ignoring the two statues, Ange walked around the base of the statue and finally saw an altar on the back that was also covered with moss and mottled.

Could this be the entrance that Cynthia and Carina mentioned?

Thinking this, he planned to take out his phone and call the two of them to come and take a look.

But as soon as he took out his phone, he found that there was no signal.

What a hassle!

Ange turned to look at Latios and said, "Latios, could you please use your cry to call Cynthia and the others?"

"Woo~" Latios nodded, then got up and flew into the sky, letting out a melodious dragon's roar.

Carina and Cynthia both heard Latios's voice and thought at the same time: It seems that Ange has found something.

So the two of them rushed towards the direction from which the sound came at the same time.

Soon the two found Ange, and Ange pointed to the altar that he had cleared a part of and said: "Take a look, is this the entrance to the mysterious place we are looking for?"

Carina and Cynthia looked at the altar carefully, and then Cynthia said: "Not sure, but we'll know if we try."

Saying that, she took out the Lustrous Orb.

Seeing this, Carina understood and also took out the Adamant Orb.

The two women held the orbs in their hands and carefully placed them on the altar.

The next second, the three people and three Pokémon, along with the two orbs, disappeared.

At the same time, in the depths of distant space-time, two sleeping Pokémon suddenly opened their eyes. Their eyes seemed to be able to see through space-time, and they all looked in one direction.

Immediately, they got up and flew out of the sleeping space, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Outside the altar, the Oddish hiding in the grass saw several big living people and big living Pokémon disappear out of thin air, and ran to other places screaming.

Ange only felt a trance, and when he came back to his senses, he found himself in an unfamiliar environment.

This is a fjord, with the vast sea in front and steep cliffs behind.

Suddenly, Ange discovered that Latios was not with him.

Where is Latios?

He looked around, but still couldn't see Latios's figure.

Of course, Cynthia and Carina were not there either.

Just as Ange was about to look for his companions, suddenly a sound of splashing water caught his attention. He turned his head and saw two huge strange fish appearing out of thin air on the sea surface.

They are long and slender, with beards on their faces and tails that look like they are wrapped in the souls of the dead.

One of them has red whiskers, spots, and a tail, while the other is white.

Ange recognized the identities of the two Pokémon at first glance.

Basculegion, the Big Fish Pokémon, Water/Ghost-type, the evolved form of Basculin, the red one is male, and the white one is female.

Legend has it that Basculegion evolved by absorbing the souls of their companions who died with hatred.

As soon as the two Basculegion appeared, they launched an attack on Ange.

The male Basculegion used Aqua Cutter, controlling a huge water blade and slashing at Ange.

Ange moved nimbly, jumped up and dodged the attack, but the female Basculegion then controlled a Shadow Ball and attacked.

Ange moved his steps again to dodge, and at the same time released Latias.

"Woo~~" Latias chanted, releasing golden lightning all over her body, using Thunderbolt.

Two pillars of lightning quickly landed on the Basculegion.

How could the Basculegion withstand Latias's attack? They immediately fell into the water and floated on the sea with their white bellies turned up.

Ange thought for a while, then took out two Poké Balls and put them in.

He doesn't know where this is yet. If there are two natives as guides, it would be great.

At this moment, Ange heard the system prompt, and when he opened it, a pop-up window immediately appeared in the taskbar.

"Congratulations to the host for triggering [Temporary Task] Please collect Springy Mushroom, Sootfoot Root, Medicinal Herb, Vivichoke, Iron Barktongue and Direshroom respectively."

The task also thoughtfully included pictures of each material below.

After reading the task, Ange closed the system and took two Poké Balls that Latias had just picked up from her hands.

Looking at the Poké Balls in his hand, Ange said to Latias: "Now we have to think of a way to find your brother."

When Latias heard this, wasn't it simple? So she gestured to Ange.

"You mean use the Eon Flute?" Ange slapped his forehead, "That's right, how could I forget it."

The Eon Flute was discovered together with Latias and Latios, and it is a tool that can summon Latias and Latios.

So Ange took out the Eon Flute and played it quietly.

Latios, who was separated from Ange, was wandering aimlessly in a forest. Suddenly, a familiar flute sound came. His eyes lit up and he immediately soared into the sky.

After playing the Eon Flute, Ange released the two Basculegion again.

As soon as they appeared, An Jay questioned, "I didn't provoke you, so why are you attacking me?"

"Cough, cough~ Cough, cough~" You are human; this is not a place for humans to come.

The male Dusclops said.

"Cough, cough~" That's right, that's right!

The female Dusclops echoed.

"Not a place for humans to come?" An Jay frowned. "What do you mean?"

Hearing An Jay's question, the two Dusclops began to chatter.

"Cough, cough~" This is Hisui.

"Cough, cough~" Idiot, it's not Hisui, it's not Hisui.

… …

As they spoke, they actually started arguing.

However, from their words, An Jay finally understood where he was.

The Sinnoh region of today was called the Hisui region in ancient times, and the Hisui region and the Sinnoh region have great differences in scenery and the Pokémon that live there.

As time passed, the Hisui region gradually developed into the current Sinnoh region, and those Pokémon that once lived on the Hisui continent were brought here by Arceus to live a secluded life.

To be precise, this is a part of the former Hisui region.

After listening to the two Dusclops' explanation, An Jay explained, "We have no intention of disturbing your lives. It's just that my companions and I got separated, and now we need to find them. I wonder if you can help me?"

"Cough, cough~ Cough, cough~" Then leave here immediately after you find your companions!

The male Dusclops said.

"Okay, it's a deal." An Jay readily agreed.

Immediately, An Jay set off with Latias and the two Dusclops.

Because the bay was surrounded by cliffs, it was very difficult for An Jay to leave. In the end, the male Dusclops carried him over.

Dusclops are very large, a full three meters long, so carrying An Jay was not a problem at all.

Although Dusclops usually live in the water, as Ghost-type Pokémon, they can also fly.

After crossing the cliffs, a wide open field appeared in front of An Jay.

The field was covered with green grass, with only a few scattered trees.

However, just as An Jay was hesitating which direction to go, suddenly an energy ball appeared out of nowhere and smashed straight towards An Jay's head.

Fortunately, Latias was quick-witted and shielded An Jay in time, using Protect to defend him.

Immediately, An Jay saw a Pokémon with a huge flower ornament on its head and blade-like leaf arms, walking slowly out from behind a tree with elegant steps.

It looked at An Jay with very unfriendly eyes.

It's a Lilligant! And a Hisuian Lilligant! An Jay recognized the identity of the Pokémon blocking the way.

The two Dusclops were stunned the moment they saw the Lilligant.

"Cough, cough~" The King… is the King…

"Cough, cough~ Cough, cough~" The King is here! The King is here!

It turned out that in this special place that preserved the Hisui region's landscape, there were ten powerful Pokémon guarding it, and these ten Pokémon were called "Kings" by everyone.

The Lilligant in front of him was one of the Ten Kings.

Even without using the Observation Eye, An Jay could clearly sense the power of the Lilligant in front of him.

Without giving An Jay any time to react, Lilligant immediately launched a new round of attacks.

Countless green leaves swept over like a tornado.

However, this was not Leaf Storm, but Magical Leaf.

"Woo~" Seeing this, Latias flew forward, purple light flashing in its eyes. Psychic was activated, instantly freezing the incoming Magical Leaf in mid-air, and then returning it.

Lilligant looked surprised at this, but it moved its feet lightly and easily dodged Latias's counterattack, while simultaneously activating the enhancement skill Victory Dance.

It tiptoed, dancing like a ballerina on the grass, and each dance made its momentum continue to rise.

Latias tried to use Dragon Pulse to stop it from strengthening, but it was too agile, almost always dodging Latias's attacks.

Finally, after strengthening for two rounds, it suddenly stopped and activated Sunny Day.

A golden ball of light was controlled by it and thrown into the sky, and then the sun suddenly became scorching hot.

The next second, a golden giant sword fell from the sky, aimed directly at Latias.

Lilligant activated Solar Blade.

Unlike ordinary Lilligant who are good at Special Attack, Hisuian Lilligant are better at Physical Attack. The previous Energy Ball and Magical Leaf were just probes.

Of course, Latias was not willing to be outdone. A pink ball of light appeared under its condensation, and it became larger and larger.

Latias used its exclusive skill, Mist Ball.

It threw the Mist Ball out, colliding with the Solar Blade that was slashing over.

Bang!!!!

Along with a loud noise, a violent explosion was born, and the resulting shockwave blew An Jay and the two Dusclops away.

An Jay rolled several times on the ground, fortunately grabbing a tree in time.

At the same time, Lilligant itself was almost unable to stand due to the impact.

However, its reaction speed was amazing. Just as it stabilized its figure, it jumped into the air and then stomped hard on Latias's head.

This move is the Fighting-type High Jump Kick.

However, before it could attack Latias, a protective shield formed by psychic power appeared around Latias.

Lilligant kicked the protective shield, failing to harm Latias, and instead being bounced away, falling heavily to the ground, smashing a large pit.

This scene stunned the two Dusclops.

The King had actually been defeated.

Immediately afterwards, Latias followed up with a Dragon Pulse, the dragon-shaped energy wave bombarding the pit, and the resulting smoke engulfed Lilligant.

When the smoke cleared, Lilligant had already closed its eyes and lost its ability to fight.

Similar to An Jay's situation, Cynthia and Diantha, who were also separated from Togekiss and Braviary, also encountered one of the Ten Kings.

When Cynthia first entered here, she appeared in an abandoned village.

The village had long been dilapidated, and no one had lived there for a long time.

Moreover, judging from the architectural style and building materials of the village, it did not seem like something from modern times.

Unlike An Jay, Cynthia could not understand the language of Pokémon, so she did not know where she was at the moment.

But she knew that the most urgent task was to find Togekiss and reunite with An Jay and the others.

After searching the dilapidated village and finding no useful clues, Cynthia led Garchomp out of the village.

But just as they reached the entrance of the village, a menacing Pokémon blocked their path.
