Led by Zoroark, Su Hao and Chu Ya headed toward a remote area.
Zoroark said it had dug a small underground cave there, using it to raise its children and conceal their existence.
Unlike Zoroark, a Late Elite Four Level overlord that could create Illusions as easily as eating and drinking, its children could barely maintain a flawless Illusion disguise. If they could create something with properly arranged facial features, that would already count as exceptional talent.
It was not as though Su Hao had not asked why Zoroark did not seize a territory to raise its offspring, but Zoroark's answer gave him pause.
Zoroark itself was powerful, but it had an extremely obvious weakness—three little Zorua that were its children.
Moreover, no matter how strong Zoroark was, two fists could not beat four hands. A creature's stamina had limits, and if an outsider like it occupied a territory, the King Clans would come to subjugate it.
There were not only overlords as strong as it, but also countless Ghost-type legions obeying their commands. It could never hold the territory alone.
To ensure the Zorua could grow up healthily, Zoroark could only disguise itself as a minor soldier from some clan, quietly gather resources and food, then bring them back to its hiding place.
Su Hao had asked Chu Ya whether foreign Ghost-type Pokémon could establish their own clan in the Spirit Realm.
Chu Ya's answer was yes—
However, the prerequisite was having the strength to withstand attacks from other clans.
Zoroark was not weak, but its main problem was that, alone, it could not resist the attacks of the King Clans, whose numbers held the advantage and whose strength was comparable. It could not fight a war of attrition at all.
But this problem would undergo a drastic change
