Yuhong City, south of the city, outskirts!

“…”

Bai Ze looked at the towering gate, and after seeing the vast front yard, which was at least five to six thousand square meters wide, he saw the massive ancient castle nestled within the surrounding trees, and was somewhat speechless.

The tall grey walls were covered in dark green vines.

There were also many thorns and roses entwined around them.

The roses in the wind carried a clear smile, so pure it was enchanting, the silky white so light, the morning dew on the petals like crystals, reflecting colorful light under the bright morning sun.

Like a dream, like an illusion…

Even without considering the construction, just by looking at the area.

This castle manor was incredibly valuable!

What’s more…

Bai Ze’s gaze shifted to the pillars on either side of the manor’s gate.

Those were two unique totem-like ‘decorations’… The main body was circular, with a black appendage resembling a head on top. On the sides and bottom were yellow-dominated, red and blue interwoven ‘wings’ and ‘tail fins’. On both sides of the ‘body’ were black ‘claws’ like forks…

Overall, they were like sculpted pottery jars symbolizing bird forms.

But Bai Ze knew very well.

These two things hanging on the pillars on either side of the gate, appearing to have no signs of life, were not sculpted pottery jars at all!

Instead, they were a very rare, bird-like Pokémon, mostly stationed in ancient ruins or cities, and almost impossible to find in modern human society—Sigilyph!

[Status: Semi-dormant]

[Description: A Pokémon in a semi-dormant state, guarding the ancient castle. Specially trained, even the slightest malice will awaken it.]

…

[Omitted…]

Except for the different abilities—one having ‘Wonder Skin’ which lowers the accuracy of status moves, and the other having ‘Magic Guard’ which prevents damage from anything other than direct attacks.

The data panels of these two Sigilyph, both in a semi-dormant state, were almost astonishingly identical.

Moreover…

“Using two Elite Trainer-level Sigilyph to guard the house, tsk tsk, this is truly… luxurious!”

Bai Ze sighed in his heart.

At the same time, he also became curious about Joey Chun’s identity.

To own such a garden castle and also be equipped with two Elite Trainer-level Sigilyph for guarding.

It was clear.

Joey Chun’s status within the Joey family was probably not simple.

Bai Ze stroked his chin, not intending to delve too deeply into it. He took out the electronic card, took two steps forward, and directly placed it on the scanner of the left pillar.

Beep! Click—

With a soft sound, the iron gate immediately slid open to both sides.

And then.

Zzzz—

The transparent display screen on the scanner suddenly lit up, and then, Joey Chun’s bright face immediately appeared on the screen.

“Miss Joey?”

“It seems you’ve arrived.” Joey Chun’s pretty face moved a little closer, blinking her eyes and saying, “How is it, were you surprised?”

Bai Ze rubbed the tip of his nose, saying nothing.

Joey Chun didn’t mind, and after a playful laugh, continued, “This ancient castle is privately owned by me. There’s also a small enclosed ecological zone in the backyard. The control room is right by the entrance, you can get in by swiping your card.”

“Alright, I’m busy now. I hope you have a pleasant stay. When I’m free, I’ll have Iriya bring Fufu to find you.”

“That’s all.”

With that, Joey Chun waved her hand, and then the screen immediately went black.

“Let’s go, Natsume.”

Bai Ze called out to Natsume, who was indifferently following behind him, and then took the lead, stepping into the manor.

As they passed the pillars on either side of the gate, the two Sigilyph seemed to have no reaction at all, but once Bai Ze and Natsume had walked away.

A layer of blue psychic energy immediately appeared and enveloped the iron gate.

Click—

With a crisp sound, the gate closed, the blue light faded, and the manor’s entrance returned to its calm state.

…

…

Passing through the front yard and entering the ancient castle, the interior decoration was quite futuristic.

Bai Ze didn’t look much.

He walked around a bit before finding the ‘small’ ecological zone in the backyard.

To be honest.

Beaches, lakes, forests, swamps, grasslands… various ecological terrains were all available, and the total area was probably several times larger than the front yard!

This certainly couldn’t be called ‘small’…

“Tsk tsk tsk, ridiculously rich, ridiculously rich…”

Bai Ze shook his head and sighed, taking out a pocket watch-like device from his怀中 and lightly tapping it.

Immediately, a series of ‘beep beep beep beep’ sounds rang out.

A moment later.

With a ‘beep’, two green dots appeared on the pocket watch’s radar interface… The device Bai Ze held was an anti-monitoring radar he had paid a hefty price for Professor Oak to customize.

No sound was emitted, which proved that there were no listening devices or surveillance equipment nearby.

If it had made a sound.

A green dot meant there were no active surveillance devices nearby, while a red dot meant there were active surveillance devices nearby.

According to the position displayed on the radar, Bai Ze turned his head and saw two cameras installed, one on the left and one on the right, at the main entrance inside the ecological park.

Snap! Snap!

Bai Ze hooked his hand, and the wires behind these two inactive cameras were immediately pulled out from their ports.

Afterward.

He released Arcanine, who ran a circle around the entire ecological zone, temporarily unplugging all the surveillance camera cables.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Joey Chun.

It was just that there were some secrets that Bai Ze didn’t want to reveal to outsiders, unless they were close to him.

After dealing with all of that.

One by one, his Pokémon partners were released, and various distinct roars echoed throughout the ecological park.

“Woo woo~”

Little Lugia immediately rubbed against Bai Ze’s neck affectionately upon emerging. Then, upon discovering the lake not far away, its eyes lit up, and it flapped its wings, heading straight for it.

Bai Ze smiled dotingly.

Afterward.

He turned his gaze to Arcanine, who was lying beside him.

Next, it was time to use the [Duty Awakening Mark] on Arcanine.

“System…”
