Bell Tower, Bell Tower, and the Comet (Thanks to Yangcun Your Brother Xi for the Top Supporter Badge!)

Wang Jingke took several deep breaths, knelt on one knee, and said, "My lord, I have located the DNA Splicers. They are in a village ten thousand li away."

"Oh? You've finally confirmed it?"

At the mention of the DNA Splicers, even Kyurem could not help growing excited, its footsteps rumbling as it walked up to Wang Jingke.

"You should know what happens if you deceive me."

"I wouldn't dare. This time, I'm certain the DNA Splicers are there!"

Smelling Kyurem's foul breath, Wang Jingke hurriedly lowered his head.

Kyurem nodded. "Hmm. I'll trust you one last time. Take me there immediately!"

"Yes!"

A faint smile appeared at the corners of Wang Jingke's mouth. This moment had finally come. How many years had it been?

How many years!!!

"Hydro Pump! Stored Power!"

Ye Qing had lost count of how many orders he had given. The wild Pokémon kept coming, one after another, as though they were on drugs, all treating themselves as lambs to the slaughter.

Thanks to Aqua Ring and Recover, Milotic had not suffered particularly serious injuries, but the loss of stamina could not be made up for in such a short time.

Gardevoir was not much better off. Blue strands of hair clung to the corner of her mouth as she alternated blasts of Psychic and Stored Power to drive back the enemies.

The sun rose in the east. Ye Qing had fought through the night alongside Gardevoir and Milotic.

Feeling the sun's light and warmth, the Pokémon lurking in the shadows finally withdrew.

"This forest really isn't a place for people to travel!"

Ye Qing once again realized how dangerous the Ancient Forest was. But forests occupied everywhere other than human settlements and the Official Road, leaving him no choice but to travel through them.
