Champion Mountain.
By a lakeside, a group of people were resting.
Judging by their positions, the woman in the center being protected was the most important.
She appeared about seventeen or eighteen years old, and with every frown and smile, an air of nobility naturally exuded from her, making it impossible not to be astounded by her elegant and exquisite radiance.
"Miss Yoko, it seems there's no sign of Emuritto here. Let's rest a bit and then set out," said a weathered uncle who wore a sword at his waist and was accompanied by a Scyther, patrolling back to the group.
"Alright..." Yoko Suzuki had just begun to reply when in the next moment, her entire body was enveloped in a glow.
This change instantly caused her bodyguards to be greatly shocked.
Yoko Suzuki herself also felt an irresistible force that was about to teleport her to another place.
Whoosh~
Even though there were several Professional Trainers with her, under the inconceivable Spatial Teleportation Ability, Yoko Suzuki still disappeared from the spot.
One or two seconds, there was simply no time to react.
Seeing this, the bodyguards of Yoko Suzuki were left dumbfounded in place.
It's over! The heiress of the Suzuki Group was lost, and they were certainly done for.
In other directions.
Such incidents were still being repeated.
In a moving group, a woman with healthy wheat-colored skin dressed in explorer's attire suddenly changed her complexion. Before her companions could even react, she vanished on the spot.
The third person teleported away was in front of a campsite, a resolute woman with camouflage, crisp short hair, and two thick eyebrows on her face.
Bang!
Because there were no other people around, the moment she was teleported away, she pulled out a pistol and fired a shot into the sky, alerting her companions.
The fourth to be teleported was a woman whose face was marked by weariness and looked travel-worn. Despite her tired appearance, one could still discern delicate features in her petite face.
The moment she was teleported, she let out a cry of alarm, alerting the Professional Trainers protecting her that something was amiss.
...
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan and his companions were taking turns eating.
By a huge rock, Fang Yuan was sitting directly on the ground, with Sun Eevee, Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Fierce Fire Monkey, Ghostss, and Luo Kuo all around him.
While they were eating,
suddenly, the Ruby on Sun Eevee's forehead lit up, sensing a force affecting it. It showed a resisting expression and let out a resistant growl.
A Psychic Orb descended inexplicably upon Sun Eevee, enveloping it. Feeling the call from a Different Space, Sun Eevee immediately resisted with its psychic powers.
What the hell?!
"What's going on?" Seeing a Psychic Orb enveloping Sun Eevee as it struggled fiercely, Fang Yuan's expression turned into one of alarm as he anxiously asked.
The Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Fierce Fire Monkey, Glutton, and Luo Kuo were all drawn to the change in Sun Eevee.
Due to being a Pokémon, Sun Eevee was the only one capable of resisting Emuritto's Spatial Teleportation Ability.
However, even though it could resist, after a few seconds, Sun Eevee still felt the weird and powerful nature of this force. If this continued... it would ultimately still be teleported away.
This feeling... was just like when it was hit with the Swap Field move...
Wait a minute... Emuritto?
As it resisted, Sun Eevee recognized the voice within the force calling out to it, and its expression changed.
So that's how it is...
At the same time, Sun Eevee quickly looked towards Fang Yuan and the others, giving an urgent warning.
No time to explain, get in the car!
Boom!
The powerful psychic light spread under the struggle of Sun Eevee, covering a small area and teleporting Fang Yuan and his camping companions away.
"Damn it!" The sudden disappearance of Fang Yuan and his group naturally attracted the Hua Nation's nearby Professional Trainers.
The first to notice Fang Yuan and his group vanishing into thin air was Wang Tie, who was tens of meters away. After rubbing his eyes hard, he showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
Impossible, unscientific.
Broad daylight... and they vanished into thin air??
...
Trainers from various nations chosen by Emuritto to partake in the hide-and-seek game were all summoned away through its Spatial Teleportation Ability. For a moment, the bodyguards accompanying these Trainers were on the verge of madness.
Protecting these Trainers was their most important task, and the mission was of very high priority. Any significant error in such a mission could practically destroy their careers.
"You've got to be kidding..."
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan and his group had appeared in a mountain valley.
By Fang Yuan's side, Luo Kuo looked at the surrounding environment with a bewildered expression.
Even she had been transported by that strange and overpowering force.
The Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, the Fierce Fire Monkey, and Glutton were still confused. Where were they?
Only Sun Eevee was pondering the voice heard just before... It was undoubtedly Emuritto.
Is this like... a direct express?
"Eevee, what's going on?" Fang Yuan looked up and saw the towering peak.
This, how similar it looks to the highest peak of Champion Mountain.
But the highest peak of Champion Mountain... is at the very heart, the deepest part of Champion Mountain!!
"..." Sun Eevee remained silent.
After organizing its thoughts, it shared its speculation.
Luo Kuo translated it before Fang Yuan could.
"You mean to say... we are likely to have been teleported near Emuritto?" Luo Kuo's expression froze for a moment.
Fang Yuan's face also changed, and then he showed a look of surprise.
If Emuritto was nearby, they might be able to find it soon.
Only...
A cold wind blew, and Fang Yuan shivered.
"This place isn't dangerous, is it?"
Not knowing where he was, and having lost contact with Sun Qianshang and the others, Fang Yuan swallowed hard.
Fortunately, with the Master Level Luo Kuo, as well as Professional level Eevee and Self-detonating Magnetic Monster by his side,
they should be able to handle any danger that came their way.
Boom!
Just as Fang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, the ground suddenly shook like an earthquake, and a giant Onix, nearly double the size of a regular Onix, towered before them.
This Onix stood tall like a skyscraper, with an intimidating gaze, and its eyes were fixed on Fang Yuan and his group, as if they had awakened it from its nap.
Holy shit... It's huge.
As the Onix rose, Fang Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Now, he was certain they were in the depths of Champion Mountain, where even a random Onix that appeared was this terrifying; what bad luck.
But fortunately... the Onix just glanced at them and then turned its head to leave, without making any attack.
