Prince of the Sea Manaphy and Uncle Kyogre

Manaphy's transformation and inheritance took even longer than Su Hao had expected.

But considering it was, after all, a bona fide Mythical Pokémon with Authority Power, that was hardly surprising.

If anything, it had been rather short.

There was just one more thing that Su Hao found somewhat troublesome.

After the Water-type Plate Fragment replenished the Sea Crown's energy source and helped Manaphy restart its inheritance, the Sea Temple actually began sinking beneath the sea automatically, perhaps because dawn was approaching.

Before it sank, since the Water-type Plate Fragment was still beside the Sea Crown, helping Manaphy transform, Su Hao could not leave. He could only use Articuno's tail feather to notify Skadi and the others to return to the Secret Realm as soon as they completed their task, then enter the High Seas Secret Realms after he had dealt with the Sea Temple.

What Su Hao feared most was that the nearby Pokémon League Elite Four and Champions would recover from their shock, grow greedy, and set their sights on Skadi and the others.

Never mind whether they could defeat fourteen Articuno banding together.

Fortunately, the Articuno Secret Realm was exceptionally sturdy and well-concealed. Those who had nearly failed to protect themselves from the disaster triggered by the Sea Temple probably lacked the ability to force their way through the Articuno Secret Realm's spatial Barrier.

Thus, he followed the Sea Temple and Manaphy down into the depths without worry.

They sank for who knew how many miles into the seabed.

That made sense. There were only so
