Chapter 1044 Thousand Needle Fish
"We're here, Lizhi Lake."
The fog was cleared away, revealing the array of small islands in the middle of the lake.
This was not Xia Yu's first time here, but this time he had a completely different mentality from before.
He looked at the small island in the middle of the lake which was getting closer and closer, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
The Xicui Secret Realm, as a secret realm produced by the system, is the most unique, mysterious and powerful secret realm he has ever seen.
Even after several years, Xia Yu still only saw the tip of the iceberg of the Xicui Secret Realm.
Eight master-level Pokémon, Green Slimy Melooran, Falcon, Green Zoroark, and the legendary Pokémon of the lake!
There are eleven master-level Pokémon and three quasi-god-level Pokémon on display.
Not to mention that the Jade Wash Secret Realm has a connection with Dialga, Palkia, Giratina and even Arceus!
Strictly speaking, the Xicui Secret Realm can no longer be considered a secret realm; instead, it is more like a complete world!
Why is the secret realm key given by the system connected to the Xicui secret realm?
Given the nature of the system, Xia Yu would absolutely not believe it if there was no connection behind this.
Just like last time, the system directly rewarded the Dragon Slate, and then the first test for the Lake Legend Pokémon was to find the Dragon Slate.
The system's seemingly random rewards may not be completely random.

"Xia Yu, you're here again."
The sudden voice of the God of Will, Akonom, brought Xia Yu back to reality from his contemplation.
"It seems that you have made sufficient preparations this time." Akonom's figure appeared out of nowhere, and a pair of golden eyes fell on Xia Yu, Eve and Carl: "Who will you send this time?"
"Snow Witch?"
"Sonic Dragon?"
"still……"
Listening to Akonom's words, Xia Yu showed a confident smile on his face. He looked up at Akonom floating in the air. The ruby on its forehead shone brightly. "You will know soon. I will definitely pass your test this time."
A faint smile appeared on Akonom's face, and a gentle force brushed across Xia Yu's body: "Xia Yu, I admire your courage, and I also feel your determination to do things well."
"I really hope you can pass my test, but Xia Yu... Wanzhenyu will never show mercy in the test, show your full strength!"
"Show me if you have the strength to match your courage!"
Akonom's momentum rose instantly, and his golden pupils suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light. A light blue energy dissipated, covering the entire island like an aurora and sinking into Xia Yu's body.
A courage to face any difficulties rose in Xia Yu's heart, and he looked at Akonom with a firm gaze!
At the same time, the lake surface was turbulent, and a giant Pokémon surfaced. Its body was similar to that of a pufferfish, bulging like a ball, and covered with long and thin spikes.
The sharp stinger was shining with a sharp cold light, and its eyes were ferocious and terrifying as it glared at Xia Yu and the other two in front of it.
This terrifying pressure coupled with this horrific and ferocious face alone was enough to make everyone breathless. Ordinary people would not even have the courage to face the thousand-needle fish head-on.
Xia Yu's gaze fell on the Maneel, without a trace of fear on his face. He took out a Gigantamax Poké Ball from his waist and looked at the Maneel silently.
A few years have made Xia Yu more mature and stable. Before he came here, he had already thought of a way to deal with the thousand-needle fish.
Although the word "fish" is in its name, it is not a water-type Pokémon, just like many Pokémon with the word "dragon" in their names are not dragon-type Pokémon.
It is a rare Pokémon with both evil and poison attributes.
This attribute combination is not actually that outstanding on the defensive end, with only four double attribute resistances and one attribute immunity, but the good news is that the Needlefish, which has both evil and poison attributes, also has only one ground-based weakness.
It has neither outstanding defense nor fatal weaknesses, and can only be considered average.
What really makes Xia Yu feel difficult is that the Manefish has always lived in the water and has an absolute home advantage. If it sees that the situation is not right, it can just shrink into the water, so that other Pokémon will find it difficult to pose an effective threat to it.
The Needlefish can use its own poisonous properties to effectively torture its opponent and slowly gain victory.
"Come on, Lapras." Xia Yu held the Gigantamax Poké Ball and pressed it lightly. The Poké Ball instantly grew larger, followed by a flash of red light, and the figure of Gigantamax Lapras appeared on Lizhi Lake.
The size of the Gigantamax Laplace is extremely huge, like a giant cruise ship, even larger than the small island in the middle of the lake.
Its long, slender azure neck pierced through the mist on the lake and reached into the sky, so that its head was completely invisible.
Almost at the moment of its appearance, the temperature around it dropped rapidly, icy cold air filled the air, and the surface of the lake froze at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Several years later, with the help of the Water Drop Slate, Gigantamax Laplace's strength has been further improved, crossing the quasi-master level and successfully entering the master level.
The current Gigantamax Lapras is becoming more and more powerful. Even though it has just entered the master level, ordinary master-level Pokémon are no match for it!
No, it should be at the master level. It is almost impossible for any Pokémon to be a match for Gigantamax Lapras.
Even a Pokémon like Falchion, who is at the top of the Master level, can only tie with Gigantamax Lapras at best!
First of all, Gigantamax Lapras is a permanent Gigantamax Pokémon, which makes its strength surpass that of Pokémon of the same level. Secondly, Gigantamax Lapras has already merged with the Water Drop Slate, and with the blessing of the Water Drop Slate, its strength will be even stronger.
With the combined power of permanent Gigantamax and Water-Dropping Slate, the current Gigantamax Lapras is absolutely invincible in its class.
What's more, in actual combat, Gigamax Lapras has two ultimate moves: Punishment Gravel for attack and Gigamax Aurora Melody for defense.
Xia Yu was confident that ordinary master-level Pokémon could never be a match for Lapras. He estimated that only the three Pokémon, Falconer, Zoroark, and Melone, which had once reached the quasi-god level and now fell to the master level, could pose a certain threat to it.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu set his eyes on the Tenmaru under Laplace. The nearly ten-meter-tall Tenmaru was like a tiny thing in front of the Super Gigantamax Laplace and had no deterrent power at all.
Even if the Thousand Needles had once reached the quasi-god level, so what? Now it was just a relatively strong master-level Pokémon.
Gigantamax Lapras will definitely win.
This time, Xia Yu is determined to win!
"Laplace, win it!"
"The test...begins!"
