Chapter 1413 The Primordial Bird Hiding Its Strength

Just as Xia Yu's battle with the Lord of the Sky reached its climax, another battlefield in the Padia Secret Realm, the Mysterious Valley area, was rife with undercurrents. Champions from all over the world gathered together, and their battle with the Lord of the Rock Wall was about to begin.

"Champion Marshall, how many champions have agreed to cooperate with us so far?" Champion Elijah from the United States asked, looking at Marshall in front of him.

“The Elijah champions…” Marshall replied with a grim expression, “Apart from the champions who initially agreed to cooperate with us, the champions from the remaining countries are unwilling to cooperate with us.”

Marshall paused slightly, his expression hesitant, and said, "Moreover, those who are willing to cooperate with us are all small countries. They know they have no hope of winning the hairy crab, so they are willing to cooperate with us... As for the champions of those big countries, they all say they will think about it."

"Elijah is the champion. After all, he is a near-god-level hairy crab. Nobody wants to just give him away like that."

Hearing Marshall's words, Champion Levi's face darkened, a flash of anger appearing in his eyes. He slowly said, "Human greed. Do these people really think they can subdue a quasi-god-level hairy crab?"

"Why don't they take a piss and look at themselves in the mirror? Do they really think they're chosen by heaven? Do they even deserve to be called that?"

“Livay…you can’t say that.” Hearing Livay’s words, Elijah remained calm and smiled as he said, “Anyone who can sit on the champion’s throne isn’t a chosen one in their own country?”

"Since they are unwilling to cooperate, then we'll just have to rely on our own methods."

“Elijah Champion, Livaj Champion…” At this moment, Marshall Champion suddenly spoke up, “Actually, I’ve heard some rumors.”

"Oh? What rumor?" Elijah asked with a smile.

"The reason why champions from those countries are unwilling to cooperate with us may be related to China," Marshall said in a deep voice.

"I've heard that China is also frequently in contact with these countries... They might have reached some kind of secret cooperation agreement, so we must be extremely careful."

“China…” Elijah’s face turned serious. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly said, “Be careful of China. They love to plot and scheme. They have people monitor the every move of these Chinese champions.”

"By the way, have you seen Xia Yu?" Elijah suddenly remembered Xia Yu and asked.

“No, that’s exactly what I was thinking about.” Marshall’s brows furrowed, his expression growing increasingly grave and uneasy. “Xia Yu hasn’t shown himself since he first helped China break into the valley. He must be plotting something, maybe he’s hiding somewhere, ready to make his move.”

"I understand. Continue trying to contact champions in other countries. We can't delay any longer. If they really are unwilling to cooperate, then tell them that we can unite to defeat this hairy crab first. As for who can capture it in the end, that's up to their ability. If we keep dragging this out, it will only benefit China."

"Okay, I'll contact them right away."

Meanwhile, Chinese champions are also exchanging ideas and collaborating with champions from other countries.

"Champions, you know that this secret realm is located on Wanli Shitang Island in our country. Although you managed to force your way into this secret realm this time because of your numbers, you cannot stay here forever, and you only have this one chance to explore it."

"However... if we reach a cooperation agreement, I promise you, as the champion, that this secret realm can be opened to you, and a number of places to enter this secret realm will be allocated every year."

"Not only that, you will also gain the friendship of China."

Long-space region.

Tetsuka Kaguya floated in the air like a giant steel beast, its body radiating a silvery glow.

Steel-based energy flows through its bamboo-green body, as if coated with a thin film of steel.

Deoxys, Darkrai, Froslass, and Greninja riding Noivern all flew onto Kaguya's body, floating beside her and confronting the Sky Lord, the Great Bird, on the opposite side.

The Sky Lord, the Primordial Bird, swept its cold gaze across the group of Pokémon before it, its face grim.

However, at that moment, another whooshing sound rang out.

Xia Yu arrived riding a fire-breathing dragon. His gaze fell on the Primordial Bird, the Lord of the Sky, and he said in a deep voice, "Primordial Bird, we have no intention of being your enemy. As long as you hand over the secret recipe: Bitter Seasoning, we will leave immediately!"

"Absolutely impossible!" The Primordial Bird of the Sky Treasure Master roared loudly without any hesitation, responding to Xia Yu: "If you want to take the secret recipe: Bitter Seasoning, then defeat me."

"This is a treasure belonging to the Lord of the Sky." The voice of the Lord of the Sky, the ancestral bird, was filled with rage. It flapped its wings incessantly, stirring up endless gales, and roared at Xia Yu, "Unless you defeat me and become the new Lord of the Sky, no one can take my treasure away!"

"Roar!"

A deafening roar resounded. Even when facing several Master-level Pokémon, the Sky Lord, Archaeopteryx, showed no fear and instead took the initiative to attack first.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Rock-type energy surged, forming rolling waves in the sky and countless projectile-like stones that blasted towards the Pokémon with terrifying power.

"Tenkaku Kaguya, stop it!"

As Xia Yu's voice fell, Tetsuka Kaguya stepped forward, her entire body radiating silver-gray steel-type energy, facing the bombardment of countless rocks with her massive form.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

A series of crisp sounds rang out as these giant rocks, brimming with rock-type energy, struck the Ironfire Kaguya, producing clear, resounding noises.

Even though Steel-type has twice the resistance to Rock-type, Celestial Fire still struggled to withstand the attack from the near-legendary Proto-Bird. Its steel body was blasted with countless visible dents, making it look rather disheveled.

"Let's attack together and suppress it with all our might." Xia Yu, also riding Charizard and hiding behind Teostra, calmly gave the order after dodging the meteor shower.

As Xia Yu's voice rang out, a group of Pokémon flew out from behind Celestial Fire and launched an attack on Archaeopteryx.

Seeing this, the Primordial Bird showed no fear and let out a ferocious roar: "You dare to covet my treasures? I am the one and only Lord of the Sky, and you alone are not enough!"

"Roar!"

As the voice of Archaeopteryx resounded, its aura surged, and its concentrated power swept in like a landslide and tsunami.

In an instant, the strength of the Proto-Bird suddenly increased, and Xia Yu's expression changed drastically. He obviously did not expect that the Proto-Bird had not used its full strength before!
