Pokémon: Starting with a Bound Entry System

Chapter 480: Nightmare Zone, Lightning Valley

"What, you're going to spank me again? Go on, hit me, hit me~"

This time, the young girl even swayed her slender waist, looking at Hikaru playfully.

"Ahem..."

But a sudden cough startled the two people present.

Hikaru had even deployed his Aura.

When he came back to his senses, he found his senior standing at the door.

"You two didn't even close the door."

Although she felt bad for interrupting their intimate moment, it was undoubtedly more awkward to watch them being intimate.

"Ahem... I'll deal with you next time," Hikaru whispered.

"Nyeh nyeh nyeh."

Sakura stuck out her tongue and made a face at him.

Xue Nai walked into the room and said softly, "The competition venues have been announced."

"Hmm?"

Hikaru and Sakura picked up their phones.

After reading the message on their phones, their expressions turned strange.

It seemed there were an exceptional number of rules for this competition.

"Teams of three or fewer are allowed, but battles will be 2v2 at most. Also, when challenged by a competitor with the same or similar points, you must accept. Refusal is automatically considered a loss."

"Competition venue... the entire M Region? Competitors from eight countries will be located in eight different cities for half a month."

"It's going to take that long?"

Hikaru's brow furrowed slightly.

The competition would start on April 4th, with connections established through the Rotoms.

Trainers would initiate battles by challenging each other.

The plan was fine, but the duration was just too long.

Even after winning five consecutive matches, you still couldn't withdraw from the competition because opponents could still challenge you.

"Forget it, let's just go with it."

Hikaru tossed his phone aside. Half a month was half a month; he could use it as a chance to have some fun.

"Then our team will naturally be the three of us, right?"

Xue Nai asked from the side.

"Of course!"

Sakura quickly answered the question for Hikaru, not giving him any time to react, though that was his plan as well.

He couldn't possibly team up with that blockhead Ash, right?

"Didn't Sister Fei say before that all daily expenses will be covered by the organizers? Want to go look around outside?" Sakura suggested.

This sentence made Hikaru's eyes light up. He suddenly thought, if daily expenses were covered by the organizers, then would anything they obtained in the M Region's secret realms count as their own spoils?

On this point, Hikaru immediately tagged Lance in the group chat.

[Hikaru]: @Lance, during our time in the M Region, can we go to secret realms to obtain treasures for free?

[Lance]: You can, but you can't enter secret realms that haven't merged with reality yet. It will affect the Rotoms....

[NoMoreSimping]: The way God Hikaru asks this question... is he planning to go exploring in secret realms?

[XiaoCang]: Free entry? That's pretty good.

[HuaQiang]: Great, great, great, I'm definitely going to plunder the secret realms.

The conclusion he got was as Hikaru had expected, with just a slight difference.

That is, during the competition, they could only enter secret realms that had already merged with reality. Entering those that hadn't would cause the Rotom's positioning function to fail.

But that was good enough.

"Asking like that, are you planning to go scavenging?"

Seeing the question he asked in the group, Xue Nai asked.

"Of course... I don't know what else to do anyway. Might as well go check out what kind of Pokémon the M Region has," Hikaru said with some excitement.

Based on regional differences, although the Pokémon distributed in each continent weren't vastly different, each continent would have some special Pokémon.

"What about you, Xiao Xue?"

"I don't mind either way," Sakura said, adjusting her pant leg.

Just treat it as a trip.

"Then let's see... what secret realms does the M Region have..."

Hikaru opened the M Region's secret realm distribution map, switched to Chinese mode, and started filtering directly from S-rank secret realms and above.

On the map, dozens of already merged S-rank secret realms were scattered about. As for those above S-rank, ordinary people couldn't search for them.

But this was just right.

He randomly clicked on one.

[Charicific Valley—S-rank Secret Realm, located in the eastern part of the Florida region. A group of Charizard lives on a majestic high mountain. The strongest among them is a top-tier Elite Four level.]

It was also accompanied by an illustration.

It was an oil painting style. The Charizard in the picture were all unruly, with hot lava...

"This one looks really hot."

Xue Nai commented from the side.

Hikaru directly opened the next one.

[Frozen—Alolan Ninetales...]

"Ooh, a place where Alolan Ninetales gather!" Xue Nai's eyes lit up.

Ninetales were already rare, and Alolan Ninetales were even rarer.

Such a Pokémon was the natural enemy of Dragon-type Pokémon.

Hikaru marked this spot.

He also wanted to see a gathering of Alolan Ninetales.

[Nightmare Zone—S-rank Event, a large area in Florida where, during a certain period, people's screams are always heard at night. It is rumored that there is a Ghost-type Pokémon.... People call it the God of Nightmares...]

The God of Nightmares could also be worthy of an S-rank Secret Realm? No, it was an S-rank event.

It seemed that this map not only marked secret realms but also marked events and problems existing in some regions.

Unlike the other areas he had looked at, this area was entirely urban.

Hikaru looked at the two of them and marked this spot.

Then he remembered he was here to find treasures, so he focused on some secret realms marked with special treasures.

[Lightning Valley—S-rank Event, the Zapdos that resides in Lightning Valley year-round will go to nearby cities to absorb electricity, causing power outages in a large area...]

Zapdos's prestige had also dropped, resorting to stealing electricity.

However, it was surprising that such a thing was so openly displayed in the M Region.

Like in the Huaxia region, the handling of Legendary Pokémon was mostly to hide the information, so ordinary people didn't know about them.

"Lightning Valley has a type of lightning crystal that's perfect for Xiao Xue's Pokémon. Want to make a trip?"

"But this Zapdos is at least Champion-level..."

Sakura said worriedly.

"It's okay. If we're just getting some stuff, Zapdos won't find us," Hikaru said nonchalantly.

"Alright then..."

Xue Nai said at this moment.

"The opponent's information is out."

"Let's look at it later. There's no hurry for these things."

Hikaru wasn't very concerned about the information on the Junior Division.

"Mmm."

"Let's leave it at that for now."

After setting the time and place, Hikaru finally looked at the opponent information on his phone.

After a quick glance, Hikaru could only say that the other seven countries all had their own talented trainers, but none were too outstanding.

"Let's go, then let's set off!"

Putting away his phone, Hikaru had no intention of lingering for another moment.
