Chapter 844: Entering the World Tree Again_1

About one day later.

Little Dream successfully opened an entrance to the World Tree Mystical Realm at the center of the Fossil Reserve.

From Little Dream's appearance, opening a secret location entrance here seemed even more exhausting than merging genes with Ditto.

"Mew~~ (Big project.)" Dream wiped off its sweat.

At this time, although Fang Yuan's research institute was already connected to the World Tree Mystical Realm, the overlapping point between the World Tree Mystical Realm and Earth was still at the summit of Mount Everest.

In the words of Luo Kuo, the novel enthusiast, Dream had established a long-distance spatial portal!

"Right, since we can go directly to the World Tree from the Fossil Reserve, then the Pokémon from over there can also come to the research institute through this entrance, right?"

Having completed all this, Fang Yuan asked curiously.

"Mew~~!"

Dream nodded affirmatively.

The secret location entrance it had opened was naturally bi-directional; otherwise, Fang Yuan wouldn't be able to return once he went in.

It definitely wasn't that kind of irresponsible Pokémon.

"Perfect."

Fang Yuan was overjoyed.

Dream's opening of an entrance to the World Tree Mystical Realm here, on the surface, seemed to make it easier for Fang Yuan, the World Tree Guardian, to protect the World Tree.

But at this point, Fang Yuan, as the World Tree Guardian, was clearly underqualified, so it was more accurate to say that that the World Tree Mystical Realm was his protector instead.

If the Fossil Legion and even the Eternal Spirits from the World Tree Mystical Realm could casually come to the research institute, then Fang Yuan's research institute would probably be the hardest place in the world to attack now.

Of course, this was just Fang Yuan's fantasy; after all, no one would trouble him.

"No need to say anything else, from now on we're neighbors, and whether it's the food for the Fossil Legion or the Eternal Spirits, I'll take care of it all!"

Facing Dream, Fang Yuan grandly waved his hand as he spoke.

"Mew..."

Dream: ~~(﹁﹁)~~~ Whatever.

Dream had come to grips with the fact that Fang Yuan was whimsical.

Logically, one should seek a guardian who is steady and cautious.

But since the decision had been made, Dream had no intention of going back on it.

Special circumstances call for special measures!

This time it was going to try a different approach!

Let it be!!

"When should we go over and visit?" Fang Yuan asked.

There were many Pokémon in the World Tree Mystical Realm, and the amount of Energy Blocks Fang Yuan would need to provide for their food was undoubtedly huge.

Luckily, for Fang Yuan now, Energy Blocks were a trivial matter.

After all, aside from Eevee and the others using them, there was no longer any need for Self-detonating Magnetic Monsters to produce them personally.

Fang Yuan had his own assembly line factory for producing Energy Blocks, and supplying a secret location was very easy.

"Mew~~ (Immediately, right now, at once.)"

......

October 3rd.

Lead by Dream,

Fang Yuan, along with the three Fossil Reserve giants Darkrai, Luo Kuo, and Rock Puppy, who had no training tasks, arrived in the World Tree Mystical Realm.

In addition, Smartphone Rotom was also dragged along by Fang Yuan.

This time, Dream planned to personally walk Fang Yuan through the World Tree Mystical Realm to give him a clear understanding of all the combat power here.

Only then could Fang Yuan become a qualified Guardian.

Rotom's mission was also very simple.

To record the strength of the World Tree Elves and then analyze which of Fang Yuan's Pokémon were suitable to take them on as sparring partners... to prepare for the upcoming special training.

"Mew~~"

"Mew~~~~" As the host of the World Tree Mystical Realm, Dream seemed even more spirited upon returning here.

Fang Yuan, dressed in casual clothes, followed behind little Dream, also bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

By his side was Darkrai, who appeared like a Shadow King, and Luo Kuo, who had transformed into the image of a female general wearing battle armor.

Of course, Rock Puppy next to Luo Kuo also looked extremely mighty.

These three fellows hadn't come just for a casual visit.

They came to "scout the enemy."

Recently, Luo Kuo's tastes had gradually shifted from Xuanhuan and Xianxia to genres like "farming and warfare" and "sect cultivation" novels, using Darkrai's Fossil Legion as its current experiment subjects.

As for Rock Puppy, after being swayed by Luo Kuo, it decided not to become an emperor on its own.

The path to becoming an emperor was long and arduous, and Rock Puppy agreed with Luo Kuo—it should establish its own faction.

Darkrai's Fossil Legion was a very good start...

In short, it planned to establish an invincible Fossil Legion, conquer Pokémon secret locations, pacify forbidden areas, gain recognition from all clans, earn universal respect, and then break through the Legendary Realm, leading the entire legion into the Legendary Domain!!

That was Rock Puppy's dream...

Even though it was currently just a dog manager on the surface with Darkrai as the king and Luo Kuo as the admiral, Rock Puppy believed that it was only because it hadn't yet reached its full potential. Once it grew stronger, it would eventually take over Darkrai's throne.

One could say... Rock Puppy and Luo Kuo were having quite a bit of fun...

So much so that Fang Yuan didn't have the heart to interrupt.

Venusaur, due to its increased strength and broadened horizons, had grown out of its rebellious teenage years. Although some rebellious thoughts lingered, it had stopped joining Luo Kuo in her antics.

This was because Luo Kuo could hardly beat it after its Mega Evolution.

Thus, Venusaur understood that it was Fang Yuan who could take it further.

But Rock Puppy was different; it was clearly still under Rocco's spell...

Fang Yuan had thought about stopping it, letting Rock Puppy undergo the System's training, but he noticed that the little fellow, only a few months old, seemed noticeably happier with Rocco compared to the busy himself, so he didn't intervene.

Fang Yuan's current attitude towards Pokémon was still to prioritize their happiness.

Anyway, Rock Puppy was not a main combatant, so letting it mess around under Rocco to manage the Fossil Reserve was not a big deal.

For now.

The Fossil Reserve had been established for three months, and inside, the Fossil Pokémon, nurtured by Fang Yuan's Energy Blocks and trained under Rocco and Darkrai's "Dreamland" and Illusion Technique, already possessed impressive combat power.

Close to a hundred Fossil Pokémon setting out together, most Pokémon species within the Sun and Moon Forest were no match for this Fossil Legion.

For those few more formidable Pokémon species, Rocco felt that they should also be sweepable within a year.

Currently, the Fossil Legion of the World Tree Mystical Realm was Rocco's new conquest target.

A Fossil Legion that he had nurtured personally, if they could defeat the Fossil Pokémon raised by the Legendary Elf Dream, how thrilling that would be...

Thinking of this, Rocco was filled with a sense of achievement.

"Mew..." At this moment, Dream was completely unaware of the sort of being that had set its sights on them.

It must be said that the dreams of Darkrai, Rocco, and Rock Puppy were beautiful.

But reality was also incredibly harsh.

Because, at the moment, the strongest Fossil Pokémon in the Fossil Reserve were only at Senior Level.

Among them, the majority were Fossil Babies with Elite Level combat power.

And as they toured the World Tree Mystical Realm, the expressions of Darkrai and Rocco gradually changed.

They discovered that the Pokémon here were frighteningly strong, much stronger than those in the Fossil Reserve.

Rocco really wanted to use a phrase to describe the current state of the World Tree Mystical Realm's Fossil Pokémon.

"Professionals abound, while even Senior Level ones are as common as dogs."

Even Pokémon with Master-level combat power were seen everywhere.

And there were at least a dozen top-tier Fossil Pokémon dominators, not much weaker than Rocco himself.

Above the skies flew a MEGA Fossil Pterosaur with the dominating presence of a top predator, and even Rocco, the admiral of the Fossil Legion, felt somewhat breathless sensing its aura.

"A heavy responsibility and a long road ahead…" Rocco murmured.

At this time, Rock Puppy was also conflicted.

Having been locked onto by one bloodthirsty presence after another along the way, its expression wasn't looking too good either.

As one of the Pokémon with top-tier potential chosen by Fang Yuan, Rock Puppy's growth was much faster than those ordinary Fossil Pokémon, and it had also achieved Senior combat power by now.

Its strength as a power wrestler with the Fighting talent was still there, and the Waveguide Talent had been fully awakened, reflected in its scouting.

Scouting was the talent direction for most Pokémon with the Waveguide Talent.

However, due to different methods of nurturing, the focus of talent development could differ.

Now, with the dreamland training of Darkrai and Rocco, Rock Puppy's Waveguide Talent had been fully unearthed.

Fang Yuan's choice was right, using the Illusion Technique to sharpen Rock Puppy's Waveguide Talent was indeed a perfect fit.

If Waveguide is likened to eyes, thanks to Waveguide, Rock Puppy has now seen through most of the illusions of "Dreamland".

In addition, it's akin to having a 360° sensory domain.

Moreover, it can discern the enemy's body structure and the flow of energy in their moves.

And it can see through smoke-type and clone-type moves.

In other words, under Rock Puppy's perception, it can almost clearly predict the opponent's next moves before they are even released.

If it's close combat, Rock Puppy can even strike at the moment the opponent is gathering energy for a move, targeting the part where energy is flowing, delivering a fatal blow much like hitting acupuncture points.

This ability is only average for Fang Yuan's other main forces, but for Rock Puppy at its current stage, it is a respectable talent.

Even He Xiaomai's Pokémon haven't developed their abilities to the extent that Rock Puppy has.

It's precisely because of such an extraordinary talent that it is able to command the three-month-old Fossil Pterosaurs in its Rock Puppy form to listen obediently.

"Woof..."

However, the awe-inspiring Rock Puppy from the Fossil Reserve, upon arriving at the World Tree Mystical Realm, underwent a change in mentality, realizing that any random minion here seemed to possess strength not inferior to its own.

This could be problematic.

The difficulty of recruiting them... seemed to have increased significantly.

No... it was nearly zero.

At present, the only one from the Fossil Reserve's three giants who could remain composed was Darkrai.

Even when seeing MEGA Fossil Pteranodon, its expression did not show any ripples.

As the Nightmare God, it still had the mentality of a formidable character.

But this calm didn't last very long.

Now, Dream is leading Fang Yuan and his group towards the center of the World Tree. Comparatively speaking, the area where the Fossil Spirits resided was only the periphery.

The three Elves stationed in the core area are the truly powerful beings of the World Tree Mystical Realm.

"Rock God Pillar..."

As Fang Yuan's group walked beneath the cliff, they suddenly felt a gaze filled with immense pressure.

Atop the cliff, Rock God Pillar Regirock watched over them like the sovereign of the vaulted mountains, verifying what the guardians of the World Tree looked like.

Darkrai's gaze unconsciously wandered over, and quickly, it realized this was a Pokémon whose strength was comparable to its own.

"Rock God Pillar Regirock, composed entirely of rock, stones identical to those constituting its body can be found in all the earth's strata. Moreover, during battle, it can heal its body damage by affixing rocks... meaning that if fighting in a rocky area, its recovery speed for wounds and physical strength is near infinite," Fang Yuan said, looking over as well, his tone still relatively calm as he detailed Rock God Pillar's abilities.

However, that is just the most special aspect of Regirock's abilities. Apart from that, its fundamental strength should definitely not be underestimated.

This place is full of mountains, so defeating this creature wouldn't be easy for even Darkrai.

"A Pokémon with the nickname of 'god'...," Rocco said unexpectedly as he turned his attention to the Rock God Pillar.

This creature seemed to be on a higher dimension compared to the ancient Fossil Pteranodon they had just encountered.
