Just as Jiang Mo went through a lot of trouble to achieve that delicate and fragile balance of trust with Fujiwara Rine, the situation in the Xicui Secret Realm spiraled further out of control and became more critical, like a wild horse unbridled.
Previously, the Shenzhou Alliance and the North America Alliance had plundered the resources of the Xicui Secret Realm without restraint, especially the North America Alliance. Their large-scale capture of Hisui Pokémon completely ignited the wrath of most Pokémon tribes within the Secret Realm.
The Pokémon, who had originally lived peacefully and harmoniously with nature, finally stopped enduring under the relentless pressure of human greed, rising up one after another to defend their homes and the dignity of their tribes.
Recently, both the Shenzhou Alliance and the North America Alliance camps have been subjected to a relentless, tidal wave of attacks from Pokémon.
Although the Alliance Trainers resisted with all their might, facing such a large and anger-driven group of Pokémon, they gradually became overwhelmed, and their defenses began to waver.
Fortunately, Dawn had previously disrupted the North America Alliance's capture of the Wyrdeer tribe, and this kindness was deeply etched in the Wyrdeer's hearts.
Therefore, during this counterattack frenzy by the Pokémon, Dawn's members were temporarily spared from attack.
However, the Pokémon merely did not actively attack them; they did not show much intimacy or friendliness, only maintaining a subtle neutral attitude.
Nevertheless, the North America Alliance did not learn from this Pokémon counterattack; instead, blinded by profit, they became even more reckless and intensified their actions.
They believed this was an excellent opportunity to collect all species of Hisui Pokémon. Not only did they not stop their frenzied capture activities, but they further increased their personnel investment, even sending more powerful Elite Four-level Trainers into the Secret Realm.
The strength of an Elite Four is not weak. In front of these wild Pokémon, it was a dimensionality reduction strike, which, on the contrary, made the North America Alliance's capture operations smoother.
However, their insane actions ultimately enraged the most powerful overlord tribe in the Xicui Secret Realm—the Goodra tribe.
The Goodra tribe has lived here for generations, already regarding this land as an inviolable sacred territory. How could they tolerate humans acting so recklessly and freely in their domain?
In an instant, large, majestic Goodra appeared from the Secret Realm. Although they were few in number, each one was powerful; the weakest were Gym Leader Class, and there were quite a few Elite Four-level ones.
In a flash, all the humans in the Xicui Secret Realm fell under the Goodra tribe's powerful, storm-like counterattack.
As soon as the Goodra appeared, they launched indiscriminate attacks on humans.
But what was unexpected was that when the outside world learned of this news, the reactions of various forces were not worry or vigilance, but rather a nearly insane euphoria.
After all, Goodra, as a well-known Pseudo-Legendary in the Pokémon world, has always been highly sought after for its rarity and powerful strength.
In the entire vast Pokémon world, the number of each Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon is extremely small, probably only a few hundred.
Being able to capture a Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon means a leap in strength and a deep accumulation of foundation for any Trainer or force.
For example, the Lin family, precisely because they relied on the powerful Tyranitar tribe and had a stable and reliable source of Pseudo-Legendary, were able to maintain their formidable strength and high status in the Pokémon world for a long time, striking fear into other forces.
What's more, the Goodra in this Xicui Secret Realm have unique physical characteristics compared to the commonly seen Goodra in the outside world—they all carry a striking large snail shell on their backs, which immediately makes them seem extraordinary.
Under the strong temptation of this huge profit, the so-called rules and restrictions originally set by the Alliance instantly became worthless, cast aside by all forces without hesitation.
The Shenzhou Alliance and the North America Alliance acted swiftly almost simultaneously, organizing large numbers of Gym Leader Class and Elite Four Trainers to pour into the Xicui Secret Realm like a tide.
To ensure the success of this operation, they even dispatched several exceptionally powerful Champion-Class Trainers to lead the teams personally, marching grandly towards the Goodra tribe's habitat, aiming to take down this Goodra tribe.
......
Jiang Mo, on the other side, was leisurely reading the latest battle report sent by Lingxi at Dawn's stronghold. This stronghold was very close to the Secret Realm entrance discovered by Dawn, allowing for immediate evacuation if needed.
These past few days, Jiang Mo had already notified all Dawn members to contract their defenses, and most of the personnel had already withdrawn from the Xicui Secret Realm; even the mining of the steel plate and metal coat in the cave had been halted.
According to Mew, the Xicui Secret Realm's level was much higher than the Viridian Secret Realm.
In the Viridian Secret Realm alone, Jiang Mo knew of two Champion-level existences: Geng Gui Clan Leader and Mountain God Tyranitar, and Mountain God Tyranitar's strength was infinitely close to Master.
It seems that the overall strength of the Xicui Secret Realm is only higher, not lower, than the Viridian Secret Realm. Moreover, the guardian deity of the Xicui Secret Realm has not yet appeared. If it finds out that humans have arbitrarily broken the rules, the consequences will probably be severe.
"Let them fight, let them fight. It's best if they beat each other senseless. Then we'll see how they clean up their mess."
Jiang Mo stroked the Goomy in his arms. This fellow was soft and felt great to the touch.
It was also because Jiang Mo's food was too good here; Goomy had been either eating or sleeping recently. It felt as if it was living in a dream.
"Goomy, how much do you know about your tribe?" Jiang Mo suddenly asked, twirling Goomy.
"Goomy?"
This question immediately brought up Goomy's sad past. Back when it was born into the tribe, its peers and elders disliked it, disdaining it for being a different color.
It is common for different-colored Pokémon to be unpopular within their tribe. During that time, only Goomy's mother, a loving Goodra, could provide Goomy with proper care.
However, after it grew older, its mother became pregnant with a second child and immediately stopped caring for it. The ostracized Goomy left the tribe in a fit of pique and then, by chance, found the cave where the steel plate was located, living a life of gnawing on iron all day long.
So, Goomy knew very little about the Goodra tribe, only that the tribe leader and several elders were incredibly powerful, at least Champion-level existences.
"Alright, Goomy, don't be sad. Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Don't bully a young dragon for being poor!"
"Let's become strong together. Then I'll take you back to slap those foolish dragons in the face and let them know what it means to be out of their league."
Looking at the dejected Goomy, Jiang Mo comforted it. With a heaven-defying resource like the steel plate, he believed Goomy's future achievements would not be inferior to that of their so-called tribe leader.
