Although Mew was not Arceus, this did not affect her status in everyone's hearts. They all flocked to Mew, wanting to get acquainted with her. It was at this moment that someone asked Xia Huna a question: How did you know this Pokémon was Mew and not Arceus?
Xia Huna stated that he could not see any flaws at first. After all, Mew was different from Ditto; Ditto was merely a form without substance, while Mew possessed both form and spirit. Because Mew had vast knowledge, having seen almost all Pokémon in the world, she made no mistakes in her imitation. Xia Huna was able to discover it only through trial and error.
It was that Hyper Beam that confirmed to Xia Huna that this Arceus was a fake. Arceus's move set did not include Hyper Beam, at least not in the seventh generation, which fit the current environment. Therefore, with this confirmed, it was easier to guess who the convincing fake Arceus was. It could only be Mew, the pampered favorite of the legendary Pokémon realm.
Of course, after Xia Huna's embellishment, all of this was connected to Mew and her sister, Dream. After all, Arceus not knowing Hyper Beam and the previous Judgment were both attributed to Mew. Mew, the cute one, didn't mind what Xia Huna said. She hadn't had much time to play with Xia Huna since the Pokémon started causing chaos.
Seeing Xia Huna playing with Mew, everyone smiled knowingly. It seemed this matter was over. As long as they conducted a final check and confirmed there were no other threats, they could withdraw.
After accompanying Mew for a while, Xia Huna stood up and walked towards the exit. "I'm going to gather some information. If it's peaceful everywhere, we should be able to retreat for now."
As Xia Huna spoke, he left the secret realm. Emerging from the exit near Jinghai, Xia Huna stretched his bones. The chaos had come and gone quickly. Although it appeared to be a massive disturbance, after everyone built a wall and held out for a few hours, it became mostly one-on-one after the wall collapsed. Thus, it did not excessively drain everyone's energy, and Xia Huna, at least, seemed quite energetic.
Xia Huna, who was stretching his bones, was quickly spotted by Teacher Bai Lan. Teacher Bai Lan quickly walked over and grabbed Xia Huna by the collar, intending to interrogate him. Fortunately, Xia Huna had learned Teacher Bai's weakness in his first year of high school, and his three apologies immediately subdued Teacher Bai. Teacher Bai loosened his grip on Xia Huna's clothes. "In that case, I'll find a place to rest. Just have Yin Cai notify me if anything comes up."
Speaking of Yin Cai, Xia Huna looked around but didn't see Yin Cai. So he asked, "Where is Yin Cai?"
Bai Lan was about to make do with a chair when Xia Huna's question completely broke her composure. "You really dare to say that. Yin Cai went in to help. Didn't you see him at all?"
Xia Huna scratched his head. Yin Cai was in the secret realm? He didn't have any recollection of that. Could it be that his memory was truly deteriorating? He needed to pay more attention to this; it was not a good sign. Despite his thoughts, Xia Huna was more concerned about the developments. He found a secluded corner and began calling Meng Tianya.
The phone rang a few times. Xia Huna frowned. "Could it be that the matters in other secret realms haven't ended yet?"
The busy signal on the phone rang a few more times. Just as Xia Huna was about to hang up, he heard Meng Tianya's tired voice from the receiver. "Hello."
"I can tell you're quite busy over there..."
"The line was busy, right? All the branches nationwide are calling headquarters to report. Everything's settled on your end too, right?"
Hearing the word "too," Xia Huna felt a sense of relief. This meant that the Pokémon riots throughout Ming Long Country were mostly pacified.
"Yes, the other side retreated voluntarily. Should we stay for another two days to assess the situation, or head back now?"
Meng Tianya on the other end of the phone looked at the numerous messages received due to his inability to get through. He pondered for a moment. "You should leave a few people to guard your side. Although it's a low-level secret realm, having all the Pokémon run out is also a hassle. We haven't finished catching them all here yet."
Xia Huna nodded. "Understood. I'll head back then."
After a brief phone call, Xia Huna leisurely returned to the secret realm. He clapped his hands by the microphone in the gathering area. "Come, everyone, gather around me. I have something to tell you all."
Hearing Xia Huna call for everyone, the people present gradually gathered. Meng Liuying also joined them. It was evident that things were mostly over, and the final wrap-up was left to Xia Huna.
Xia Huna gripped the microphone. "Good news. According to the information we just received from headquarters, this incident has been largely pacified. Everyone can evacuate in order. The alliance personnel, please stay behind. After arranging guard shifts, maintain normal order. That's all."
With that, Xia Huna clapped his hands, and everyone present began to applaud. Frankly, who wouldn't prefer to leave the secret realm? Wasn't their comfortable bed, air conditioning, and soda at home much better? Thus, after Xia Huna announced the outcome, everyone quickly packed up and left the secret realm. In the blink of an eye, other than the official staff of the alliance, only a few members of the Awakener team remained in the secret realm.
Xia Huna looked at the mess in the gathering area and frowned. "The world changes so fast. Everyone just leaves when they want to. Alright, let's pack up. This large gathering point is no longer useful. Let's shrink the area and leave only a small team camp."
As they spoke, Xia Huna and the others began dismantling the gathering point with the alliance staff. Halfway through, everyone suddenly sensed a powerful presence approaching at an extremely high speed, and they all became tense. This inexplicable sixth sense lasted only a few seconds before it was dispelled by a pink shadow that grabbed Mew. Xia Huna breathed a sigh of relief. "Sister Meng, are you here to pick up Mew?"
Mewtwo grabbed Mew by the scruff of her neck. "Yes, I was worried about her, so I came to check."
Xia Huna asked again, "Logically, with your... relationship with Mew, you wouldn't be moving at such high speeds with such power. You almost scared me."
Xia Huna almost blurted out the word "mother and daughter." Fortunately, Xia Huna reacted quickly and omitted "mother and daughter," thus avoiding a bloody scene. Mew, controlled by Mewtwo, hugged her tail and playfully said, "Hehe, Mewtwo is sometimes a bit of a directionally challenged, which is quite cute..."
Mid-sentence, Mew felt Mewtwo's surging killing intent and immediately fell silent, playing with her tail. Xia Huna smiled. "Sister Meng, do you know what happened this time?"
Mewtwo, holding Mew, was about to leave when she stopped upon hearing Xia Huna's question. "I don't know. I don't know anything."
Xia Huna was stunned, and so were the staff around him. "Are you joking? No one here is closer to the truth than you are. And now you're telling me you know nothing? Where's the dignity of a legendary Pokémon? Don't you want it anymore?"
Mewtwo shrugged. "Really, I don't know why this happened, nor why these Pokémon suddenly retreated."
With that, Mewtwo bent down and, without changing her expression, picked up Mew, who had been accidentally dropped on the ground. "That's all for now. I have something to do and need to see others. If anything comes up, I'll find you."
With that, the two Pokémon disappeared from the secret realm simultaneously. Xia Huna, unable to gather any information, had no choice but to continue dismantling the fortifications in the secret realm with the staff. The vast gathering point was soon reduced to a small camp of about one hundred square meters. After briefly arranging the staff's shift schedule, Xia Huna lay on the ground, pondering. "It doesn't make sense. Who, for what purpose, and by what means created this disturbance? And why did it stop so forcefully? What am I supposed to do when everyone claims ignorance? Even an unsolvable case shouldn't be this aimless. There should be some clues left behind."
Hearing Xia Huna's soft murmurs, Shen Yu walked over and sat beside him. "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Everything will fall into place when the time comes. If they acted once, they will act again. Once Arceus recovers, no small fry will be able to stir up any trouble."
Xia Huna nodded at this. That was true. As long as Arceus was fine, the sky wouldn't fall. With this thought, Xia Huna sat up straight and then leaned towards Shen Yu. Shen Yu held up his hands, stopping Xia Huna from messing around. As they were playfully interacting, Zhang Hong, who was resting nearby, subconsciously spoke up to provoke them. "Tsk, with so many people here, you two should be more mindful."
Xia Huna stopped his actions, glanced at Zhang Hong, and then called out to Yu Longdu, who was resting nearby. "A'du, do me a favor and take your sister out. Let her rest well and not get too tired."
After speaking, he looked provocatively at Zhang Hong. "Come on, let's hurt each other. See if I back down."
Just as Yu Longdu was about to take Yu Tingyun out of the secret realm, Zhang Hong quickly went to stop him. "Brother-in-law, you have more important things to do. Let me handle it."
Yu Longdu glanced at Xia Huna. Xia Huna pursed his lips. "Why are you being so nosy? It's between the brother and sister. What business is it of an outsider like you to interfere? I found such an important training opportunity for you, and all you can think about is flirting with girls..."
Zhang Hong was overwhelmed by Xia Huna's incessant nagging. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore. "Boss Xia, I was wrong. I didn't know anything just now, and I didn't do anything!"
