Pokémon: Yunxiao

After receiving the new order, Yun Xiao and his group of five left the Quartz Plateau early the next morning, asking for the direction of the Small Wharf Circus and following it all the way.

According to Daigo, the enemies this time might be pirates and treasure thieves, so Yun Xiao also specially changed the Pokémon in his hand.

This time we are looking for the Undersea Temple Axia, so the replaced Pokémon are: Gyarados (Gym Leader level), Milotic (Gym Leader level), Swampert (Gym Leader level), Dolphin (Elite level), Eevee (Elite level), Zapdos (Elantra level), Theradron (Elantra level), and Rayquaza (Champion level).

After all, they have to deal with the sea, so Yun Xiao's Gyarados and Milotic finally have a place to play.

"I wonder what Prince Manaphy of Canghai will look like?" Xiaoyao asked Yunxiao with anticipation. From the information, everyone also found out the target to be protected this time - Prince Manaphy of Canghai.

"Manaphy...she should look a lot like Pokémon~" Yun Xiao thought for a moment. There was no information about Manaphy in his parents' previous research reports, so he had never seen Manaphy, so he spoke vaguely.

Everyone was speechless when they heard this. It's the same as saying nothing, okay?

"None of this matters. What's important is that the next person I'm going to meet is Miss Guangmei from the Xiaomatou Circus." Xiaogang said with a crazy look on his face, and he was extremely excited at the thought of meeting Guangmei.

"Is Miss Guangmei such a famous person?" Xiaozhi looked at Xiaogang with curiosity, not understanding why Xiaogang was so excited.

"That's for sure! Miss Guangmei is the top star of the Little Pier Circus, and she ranks very high in my opinion!" Xiaogang immediately shouted to Xiaozhi, then took out a notebook from his chest and began to introduce her to Xiaozhi.

"Sure enough, compared to Pokémon, the beauty encyclopedia that Xiaogang knows is more comprehensive." Xiaosheng exclaimed in admiration. Xiaogang's beauty recognition system is more comprehensive than the Pokémon he recognizes.

While playing and joking, everyone came to a larger open space and found that there were quite a few people gathered there.

There was a huge water bubble floating in the middle of the crowd, with water Pokémon and people swimming around inside it. It was obvious that some kind of show was going on.

Yun Xiao and his group, attracted by the performance, immediately came over. To Xiao Gang's surprise, they discovered that the people performing here were the Little Pier Circus they were looking for.

"You are too slow." At this moment, a complaint came from the front, and then two familiar figures appeared in front of everyone.

"Cen Chuanci!"

"And Cen Chuanming!"

Xiaosheng and Xiaozhi were very surprised to see the person in front of them and immediately exclaimed.

"Really? Are you so surprised? Didn't Mr. Daigo tell you yesterday that we were here to help you?" Cen Chuanci curled his lips, not understanding why they were so surprised.

"Is the opponent very strong this time? You don't even trust the two of you to protect Daigo?" Yun Xiao was surprised. You know, Cen Chuanci also upgraded to the King level not long ago. How could it be that two King-level trainers protecting an egg is not safe?

"Yes, our opponent this time is a ghost!" Cen Chuanming said seriously.

"Ghost?" Xiaoyao said in horror, and couldn't help but imagine the kind of ghost floating around.

"Ahem... It's not the ghost you think. Ghost is a notorious pirate. He is also a king-level pirate. He is as strong as an ox, and his strength is no less than Gou Li. In addition, he has joined forces with the Treasure Thieves and Team Rocket this time. It seems that he is determined to get Manaphy's egg."

Cen Chuanming realized immediately that Xiaoyao had misunderstood, and quickly began to explain.

"So that's how it is." Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief.

When the performance of the Little Pier Circus ended, everyone, led by the two brothers Cen Chuanci, came to the front of an RV and went straight to a man in a clown costume to introduce him.

"Ajie, these are the partners sent by Mr. Daigo to support us. They are Yunxiao, Xiaoyao, Xiaosheng, Xiaogang and Xiaozhi." Cen Chuanming introduced the man named Ajie in front of him one by one.

"Hello, my name is Jack Walker, and I'm a Pokémon ranger. You can just call me Ajie." Ajie took off his disguise and introduced himself to everyone.

After saying hello, Ajie led everyone to the RV with a serious face. After introducing Yun Xiao and others to everyone inside, he showed Manaphy's egg in front of everyone.

"This... is Manaphy's egg?" Xiaoyao said meaningfully as she looked at the dark blue Pokémon egg with seven or eight red dots in the middle.

She felt that this egg seemed to have a vague connection with herself, but it only lasted for a moment and was soon overwhelmed by curiosity.

"Yes, the name of this Pokémon is Manaphy. It also has another name called the Prince of the Sea. It can lead us to find the mysterious Temple of the Sea, Axia." Ajie introduced it to everyone.

"Why can Manaphy find the Sea Temple? Can all Manaphy find it? And is the Sea Temple that hard to find?" Xiaosheng asked curiously, asking three questions at once. Although he had never seen Manaphy, there were more than one Manaphy. If all Manaphy could find the Sea Temple, then they could just catch one at random in the sea.

Although Manaphy is a mythical Pokémon, as far as he knows, some of Manaphy's residences have been made public and are under the protection of the Alliance. Manaphy is not hard to come by.

"Axia is an underwater palace built by the Water People, who covet the Crown of the Sea. The Water People devised traps, including the temple's cloaking ability, to keep those with evil intent away from the precious Crown of the Sea. As it merges with the water, it cannot be seen on a regular basis, but in the red light of a lunar eclipse, it is revealed. In the past, whenever Axia reappears, the Water People would gather to celebrate their connection to the ocean and Water Pokémon. Axia now drifts with the ocean currents, but there was a time when it stayed in one place."

"And Manaphy has the property of reflux. Of course, not all Manaphy can find the Sea Temple. Only Manaphy that is specifically hatched in the Sea Temple can do so."

"The Water People built a temple where the Manaphy lived. All Manaphy born in a temple have a homing instinct that guides them to the temple's location, even if the temple has a cloaking device."

The person who explained was Guangmei's grandfather from the Little Pier Circus. He answered Xiaosheng's questions kindly. According to him, they were the remaining Water People.

"So that's how it is." Xiaoyao looked at Manaphy's egg, and the image of the Temple of the Sea emerged in her mind, as well as a scene where Manaphy was swimming happily around her.
