Chapter 423 Even the mud-covered donkeys of the production team can't be used like this!

"Creating... an elf?"

Loz was startled and almost blurted it out.

Even with his extensive knowledge and experience, he was still terrified by the terrifying implications behind the word.

Create a spirit?

How did Giovanni manage to do something that only Arceus could do?

Moreover, judging from his confident tone, he clearly had absolute faith in the "created" spirit, whose combat power must have reached an unbelievable level...

Just as a storm was brewing in Loz's heart, Sakaki realized that his emotions were showing, quickly calmed down, and resumed his calm and shrewd tone.

"In short, President Loz, as long as you can show enough sincerity, I will certainly not let you down. The power we possess is absolutely beyond your imagination."

Now that things have come to this, further probing and maneuvering are pointless.

Lorz took a deep breath, his fingertips tapping unconsciously on the smooth tabletop as he quickly weighed the pros and cons.

Ultimately, he made a decision.

"it is good."

Loz's voice regained its composure, "In a few days, I will arrange for you to come to Galar in person at an absolutely safe location so we can discuss the specific details and conditions of our cooperation."

"Haha, that's awesome!"

Sakaki let out a deep, hearty laugh, filled with ambition for a comeback.

"I enjoy dealing with intelligent people like Chairman Lotz. So, it's a deal. I will personally keep the appointment."

As the laughter subsided, Sakaki's tone suddenly turned cold.

"This time, we must make Xia Chi... disappear from this world completely!"

The call has ended.

Loz slowly put down his phone, Rotom, leaned back, and sank deeply into the soft leather seat.

The office fell silent again, save for his slightly heavy breathing.

Outside the window, the sun was still shining brightly in Motogakure, but he felt a strange chill.

A road of no return has already unfolded beneath our feet.

And at the end of the road, is there a glorious future or an abyss of no return?

Loz closed his eyes, forcibly suppressing all his hesitation and unease.

For the sake of Galar's eternal future, he had no other choice.

Waterboat Town, Waterboat Arena, after the race.

Although Tyranitar seemed to be in complete control throughout the entire gym challenge and did not suffer any real serious damage.

However, after the battle, Xia Chi immediately took it to the professional medical room inside the Water Boat Arena for a comprehensive physical recovery treatment.

Lurina did not come along.

Today is a regular open day for the Water Boat Dojo, and the intense match against Xia Chi, which was almost an exhibition game, has already taken up a lot of her time.

By this time, she had already changed back into her gym leader uniform and returned to the main battleground, where she began to receive the long lines of ordinary challengers.

After entrusting the perfectly healthy and energetic Tyranitar to the care of the reliable Lucky Eggs for a short rest, Xia Chi left the still bustling Water Boat Arena alone.

His destination was Shuizhou Town Airport.

Of course, he didn't plan to leave at lightning speed as soon as his battle with Lulina ended.

On the contrary, he was there to pick someone up.

I just mentioned the meteorite to Yui yesterday, and today she flew over from another region with that crucial stone.

It has to be said that although this guy occasionally gets into a dramatic mood and says some nonsensical things, he is still very reliable when it matters.

Xia Chi was quite relaxed, as he didn't receive a private car service from Lulina.

He stood on the street and waved down a vehicle that was extremely common in the Galar region, even forming a unique part of the city's landscape: the Steelraven taxi.

A steel raven with glossy black feathers, adorned with a specially made saddle and windproof goggles, landed steadily in front of him, its claws firmly gripping a closed two-seat cockpit.

Xia Chi opened the car door, got in, and gave his destination.

The Steel-Armored Raven let out a loud cry, its powerful wings flapping sharply, creating air currents that carried the cabin smoothly into the air, soaring towards the direction of Waterboat Town Airport.

From the air, the buildings of Shuizhou Town and the winding coastline create a picturesque scene, with the winter sea breeze whistling outside the cabin.

Before long, the outline of the airport came into view.

Corviknight skillfully landed at the designated "Pokémon-friendly" taxi stop.

Almost as soon as Xia Chi stepped onto the airport arrival hall floor, his Rotom cell phone in his pocket vibrated slightly.

Uniqlo's flight arrived on time.

Using Rotom's location sharing feature, the two quickly met in a corner of the somewhat noisy arrival hall.

"Boss!"

Yui waved from afar.

She was still dressed in casual clothes that allowed her to move around easily, carrying a travel backpack that looked quite spacious. Her dark red short hair looked very energetic under the bright airport lights, but there was a hint of fatigue in her eyes from the long flight.

Beside her, Blaziken stood steadily, its sharp eyes habitually scanning its surroundings.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yui, you got here so quickly."

Xia Chi stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Of course."

Yui smiled and, without any further pleasantries, went straight to the point.

She gestured for Xia Chi to walk to a relatively quiet corner where few people would notice, and then solemnly took out a specially made mini box with an energy shielding coating from her backpack and handed it to Xia Chi with both hands.

"Thanks, Yui."

Xia Chi took the box; it felt slightly heavy, and he could feel its excellent workmanship and good sealing.

He was also extremely curious about the composition of the meteorite given by Lotz and the secrets it might hold. Yui's quick and reliable delivery of the item was indeed a great help.

Yui gestured towards the combination lock with her chin, "Boss, aren't you going to open it and check?"

Xia Chi laughed and said, "No need to look, I trust you to handle things."

"It would be best to take a look."

Yui pouted and said, "It's best to take a look first. If I've taken the wrong one, I can go back and get it."

Xia Chi couldn't refuse the dutiful Yui, so she had no choice but to open the box and check it.

With a soft "click," the small combination lock case opened a crack.

Xia Chi opened it completely, revealing a box lined with soft black velvet.

In the central recess, there lies a stone about the size of an adult's fist, dark in color, with strange honeycomb-like holes and metallic patterns on its surface.

Even through the slight shielding of the specially designed enclosure, a subtle and peculiar energy fluctuation still emanated, standing out from the surrounding environment.

It was just over six months ago, at the Galler Palace store, that Chairman Loz personally gave him that meteorite fragment "containing special cosmic energy".

"That's right, this is it."

Xia Chi examined it carefully for a moment, and after confirming that its shape matched his memory, he gently closed the box and locked it.

"Thanks to you, Yui."

Once her mission was accomplished, Yui reverted to her usual carefree self, feigning sorrow as she sang, "Master, what are you saying? I'm already very satisfied to have been able to share your burdens."

Xia Chi was already almost immune to Youyi's intermittent dramatic outbursts. Upon hearing this, she simply rolled her eyes in annoyance and automatically filtered out those nonsensical lines.

"Don't give me that. Come on, to reward you for bringing the stone all the way here, I'll treat you to an authentic seafood feast from Shuizhou Town."

However, Yui waved her hand, "No, I'll just go back. You're not here, and I'm worried about leaving the island unattended."

.

As she said this, her eyes softened and became serious.

For Yui, who escaped from the hellish environment of Team Lava, filled with paranoia and destructive desires, and finally found peace and belonging on Keido Island, that island had long transcended the scope of a "workplace".

That was her home, the harbor that gave her a new life, and the paradise she was willing to dedicate her heart and soul to protecting.

To some extent, her sense of belonging and responsibility to Qiming Island is perhaps even stronger than that of Xia Chi, the island's owner who is often "traveling" outside.

Looking at the seriousness in Youyi's eyes, Xia Chi felt a surge of warmth in his heart, but he shook his head even more resolutely.

He reached out and gently patted Yui's shoulder, his tone unusually forceful.

"Listen to me, let's rest for a day before going back. There's Dragonite and Fat Sister on the island, as well as the three legendary birds. What's there to worry about?"

They just flew for over ten hours to get here for their own personal matters, and then immediately flew back to the island to continue working like slaves...

Even the mud-covered donkeys in the production team don't behave like this!

Yui stared blankly at Xia Chi's unusually clear, even somewhat "domineering," concern, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She blinked, concealing her subtle emotions, and smiled, nodding obediently.

"Fine... I'll do as you say, since you're the boss."

The usual playful tone returned, but there was no longer any sense of refusal.

"That's more like it."

Xia Chi smiled and said, "Let's go, let's fill our stomachs first. Your Blaziken and Swellow have worked hard too."

Yui came in a hurry this time, and only brought Blaziken and Swellow with her.

Blaziken is the absolute mainstay for dealing with emergencies.

Da Wang Yan's choice stemmed more from her long-standing "cautious habit"—in case of an extremely unfavorable situation, it was a reliable partner to ensure a quick escape.

The precarious existence she experienced with the Lava Team ultimately left a deep mark on her.

After lunch, Xia Chi settled Youyi, who was visibly more relaxed and starting to feel tired, at her hotel to rest.

I told her to get a good night's sleep and adjust to the time difference, and not to rush back.

He then carried the briefcase containing the meteorite and set off for the research institute where Sonia was located.

Sonia's research institute is not hard to find; it is located at the southern end of the coastline of Waterboat Town, in a relatively secluded area backed by small cliffs.

Because he was preoccupied with the analysis results of the meteorite, Xia Chi did not choose the Steel Raven taxi, which was stable but a bit slow, but instead rode Millerton directly there.

The speed was so fast that Xia Chi sent Sonia a message on his Rotom phone before setting off, saying, "I'm here with the meteorite." When Milton landed on the small open space in front of the research institute, Sonia, who had rushed out of the institute, hadn't even reached the doorway yet.

Sonia spotted the box Xia Chi was carrying at a glance. Her amber eyes lit up instantly, and she practically ran over, not even bothering to catch her breath. Her first words went straight to the point.

"The meteorite... arrived so quickly? Can I... take a look at it?!"

Today she wore a jumpsuit that allowed her to move around easily, with a research lab coat over it. Her orange ponytail swayed slightly as she ran, and her face was full of eagerness.

Xia Chi was both amused and exasperated by her hurried manner, and said helplessly, "Dr. Sonia, shouldn't we go inside first? What can you possibly figure out from right outside the door?"

Sonia suddenly realized her mistake and quickly withdrew her hand, sheepishly smoothing a stray hair behind her ear. Her cheeks flushed slightly. "Oh, oh, I'm so sorry! I was too hasty! Let's go inside quickly, my mentor, Dr. Evan, is already waiting for us!"

She turned and led the way, her steps still light and quick, glancing back at the box in Xia Chi's hands from time to time, her eyes burning with desire.

"Let's go."

Xia Chi smiled, picked up the suitcase, and followed.

The "Galar Region Ancient Ecology and Energy Research Institute" where Sonia is located is not particularly large, but the facilities look quite advanced.

Several white research buildings are scattered around, interspersed with observation areas simulating different ecological environments. Some researchers, wearing white lab coats or waterproof suits, are busy at work.

Xia Chi's fame here is clearly no less than it is on the battlefield.

Despite his deliberate attempt to keep a low profile, he walked behind Sonia along the clean paths inside the research institute.

The researchers he encountered along the way, whether young assistants or older scholars, almost instantly recognized him, casting surprised, excited, and even admiring glances at him, whispering among themselves.

However, perhaps due to the rigorous working atmosphere of the research institute, or perhaps because they could tell that Xia Chi had important business to attend to, no one dared to disturb him, which relieved Xia Chi.

Following Sonia, we walked towards the main research building, which is located at the deepest part of the park and is also the tallest. We swiped our cards to enter the bright interior corridor and finally stopped in front of a room with a sign that read "Deep-Sea Geology and Cosmic Energy Analysis Laboratory".

Sonia knocked on the door, then pushed it open: "Mentor Evan, we're here!"

The room was quite spacious and contained several sophisticated instruments with flashing indicator lights and screens displaying complex data streams.

A middle-aged man, around fifty years old, with neatly combed hair, wearing black-rimmed glasses and a clean white lab coat, turned around from in front of a huge spectrometer upon hearing the voice.

His face was serious and his eyes were sharp, but when he saw Sonia and Xia Chi behind her, a warm yet restrained smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Sonia, and this one... must be Mr. Xia Chi."

Dr. Evan walked over, his gaze lingered on Xia Chi's face for a moment, and then he extended his hand.

Sonia quickly introduced, "Teacher, this is Teacher Xia Chi."

She couldn't think of a more suitable title at the moment, so she used the honorific commonly used online and in the Galar trainer community.

"Professor Xia Chi, this is my mentor, Dr. Evan Heimer, who specializes in ancient geology and anomalous energy research in the Galar region, and is also one of the most authoritative experts in the analysis of residual energy of the Dark Night."

"7

"Dr. Evan, I've heard so much about you."

Xia Chi extended his hand to shake hands with Dr. Evan, his attitude humble.

Dr. Evan adjusted his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses sparkling with the curiosity and admiration characteristic of a scholar: "The father of mega-evolution, the pioneer of terrestrial crystallization... I've heard so much about Professor Xia Chi's contributions to the research of legendary spirits and special energies. I never expected to meet him in person today, and to have the opportunity to study such interesting samples together. It's truly an honor."

His compliments were based on solid academic knowledge and did not appear hypocritical.

Xia Chi smiled and, without much formality, said, "You flatter me, Dr. Evan. In my professional field, I still have much to learn from experts like you. Shall we get straight to the point?"

He didn't keep them in suspense, knowing that the two researchers in front of him were already extremely anxious.

Under the watchful eyes of Sonia and Dr. Evan, Xia Chi placed the briefcase on a nearby worktable and slowly opened the lid.

The meteorite fragment, covered with strange holes and metallic patterns, stood silently under professional analytical lighting.
