Chapter 1398 Mysterious Mountain Peak
After deducing that the Pokémon that controlled this place was most likely a pseudo-dragon, Xia Yu did not hesitate and immediately ordered Noivern to leave the place.
This is because the pseudo-dragon Pokémon is not only the strongest among Pokémon, but also very likely to be two pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
Xia Yu is already struggling to deal with even one starter Pokémon, so the risk of fighting two pseudo-dragon Pokémon, Millimorph and Groudon, at the same time is too great and the odds of winning are too low!
It's best not to take any risks. It's better to proceed step by step, first gaining the approval of the Sky Treasure Master, the Stone Bird, and the Steel Treasure Master, the Tuotuo Earthworm, before dealing with the strongest Earthquake Treasure Master and the Pseudo-Dragon Treasure Master.
Just as Xia Yu rode the Noisy Dragon away from this area, a huge shadow was constantly moving beneath the wide river surface. Its massive size almost spanned the entire river. Only after realizing that the Noisy Dragon had completely left did it dive back into the river and disappear.
Of course, Xia Yu didn't notice this scene as he rode away on the Noisy Dragon.
…………
Like a streak of light, the Noisy Dragon sliced through the sky and broke through the clouds, flying towards another special area marked on the map.
Due to the time constraints, Xia Yu could only send Noivern forward at full speed. The fierce wind swept past Xia Yu, slicing across his face like sharp blades. If it weren't for the Flying-type energy surging from Noivern's body, which alleviated the howling wind, Xia Yu would probably have had great difficulty even breathing.
The rapidly advancing Noivern arrived at the map marker in just a few tens of minutes.
The mountain is steep and the cliffs are thousands of feet high.
One after another, steep mountain peaks rise abruptly from the ground like sharp swords, the peaks standing tall and beautiful, looking from afar like a tomb of ten thousand swords.
Among them, seven peaks are the highest and steepest, their sharp edges slicing through the low-hanging clouds and disappearing into the chaotic layers of milky white and leaden gray.
Clouds and mist clung to the mountainside, cutting it in half. From a distance, the steep and precipitous peak looked like an isolated island floating on a sea of clouds.
Clouds rolled and white mist flowed.
Snow-white mist rises from the unfathomable valleys, wisps and strands like the mountains breathing, gathering into a vast, surging, milky-white ocean.
The surging clouds silently pounded against the base of the cliff, shattering into countless flying clouds, only to reassemble in the next moment and sweep upwards with an even more magnificent momentum, as if to uproot, swallow and melt the entire stone peak.
The fine white mist flows along the steep rock face, like a cascading silk ribbon, cool and moist.
Xia Yu took a deep breath and gazed at the breathtaking scene before him. The unique scenery alone made Xia Yu feel uneasy and wary.
"The Flying-type energy here is very concentrated," Noivern reminded Xia Yu.
Even without Noivern's reminder, Xia Yu could clearly sense the surging Flying-type energy. The wind flowed through his sides and between his fingers, like a gentle hand caressing his palm.
This area is a danger zone that the Rockets have marked as a key area.
When Xu Xiu explored this place, he also felt the surging Flying-type energy in the sea of clouds, and his Flying-type Pokémon, Vulpix, trembled uncontrollably as it approached the sea of clouds.
Upon witnessing this scene, the seasoned veteran Xu Xiu made the wisest choice: he immediately withdrew from the area. This was also because he had very few Pokémon capable of flying; after all, the sky wasn't his domain.
Now that Xia Yu is here in person, he can also truly feel the surging flight-type energy.
“I know,” Xia Yu replied. “Even I can feel the surging Flying-type energy. There’s either a Flying-type Paradox Pokémon like Ironneck here, or a Sky Master named Stonebird.”
"Sonic Dragon, cheer up, let's go to the highest peak!"
Xia Yu's gaze swept over the seven highest peaks, and then settled on the highest one!
Without a doubt, the strongest Pokémon must live on this highest peak.
Xia Yu's goal was to reach the highest peak!
"boom!"
Noisy Dragon flapped its wings and flew towards the highest peak. However, just as Noisy Dragon approached one of the seven highest peaks, a buzzing vibration came from the clouds.
"What's that sound?" Xia Yu frowned as he looked into the sea of clouds, a vague sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
The entire sea of clouds trembled slightly, as if some terrifying monster was about to burst forth from the earth.
"Buzz!"
The vibrations grew closer, and a military green body flew out of the sea of clouds. It was extremely large, about eight or nine meters long, with its body segmented like a dragon. The red spots on its body were like eyes, shimmering with a scarlet luster, giving people a creepy and terrifying feeling.
An ancient giant dragonfly?! And a master-level ancient giant dragonfly at that.
Master-level Bug-type Pokémon are even rarer than Master-level Dragon-type Pokémon.
Under Xia Yu's astonished gaze, more and more ancient giant dragonflies flew out of the sea of clouds. They flapped their transparent wings, making a "buzzing" sound. They swarmed together, covering the sky and almost dyeing a large part of the sea of clouds military green.
This was the first time Xia Yu had ever seen so many ancient giant dragonflies!
"Roar!"
The leading ancient giant dragonfly had a ferocious and savage expression. Its red compound eyes reflected countless figures of sonic dragons and Xia Yu. It let out a hoarse roar, warning the sonic dragons.
"Sonic Wave Dragon, leave this place! This is the territory of the Ancient Giant Dragonfly!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Yu's face showed a thoughtful expression.
Seeing that Xia Yu and the Sonic Dragon did not respond, the ancient giant dragonfly continued to roar ferociously: "If you continue to approach, it will ignite a war between the ancient giant dragonfly clan and the Sonic Dragon clan!"
"Go back! This is not your territory!"
Hearing the words of the ancient giant dragonfly, Xia Yu seemed to understand something, and whispered to the sonic dragon, "Let's leave here first."
"Okay." The Soundwave Dragon responded to Xia Yu in its mind, then gently flapped its wings and flew away into the distance, leaving this place.
Seeing the sonic dragon retreat, the ancient giant dragonfly did not pursue them. Instead, it flapped its wings and led its people back to the sea of clouds.
"Sonic Dragon, let's go check out another mountain peak," Xia Yu said in a deep voice.
Almost the instant Xia Yu finished speaking, the Soundwave Dragon flapped its wings and flew towards another towering peak among the seven mountains.
The same scene repeated itself as Noivern approached the steep mountain peak.
A loud roar came from the sea of clouds, but this time the roar was much higher and louder than the hoarse roar of the ancient giant dragonfly.
"call!"
A strong wind swept in, and two giant eagles pierced through the sea of clouds, rapidly approaching Xia Yu and the Soundwave Dragon.
Master-level Warrior Eagle and Master-level Vulture Na!
