23 Chapter 23 Accidentally Entering the Secret Location_1

Time rewound to six hours before the Pingcheng Disaster Warning Center issued a disaster alert.

Fang Yuan and Eevee were practicing the Splash Technique around the dense forest.

"Bwoo!"

Eevee, with a serious expression, fixed its gaze on the ground in front of it, concentrating its spirit as it swept its short, slender legs forward. The next moment, a cloud of dust whirled up, infused with a large amount of sand, which fiercely pounced towards the front of Eevee.

DUANG...

The large rock Fang Yuan had brought over was hit squarely by the incoming Sand Splash, wobbling slightly before its surface was covered with a thick layer of sand.

"Very good."

Fang Yuan wiped off some sweat, surprised that Eevee's efficiency in practicing the Splash Technique was so much higher than that of Quick Attack.

After half a month, Eevee could use Quick Attack quite skillfully, but it was even more adept with Sand Splash, hitting whatever it aimed at with ease.

Moreover, the visual effect of the Sand Splash seemed much stronger than it had at the beach.

At first, Eevee's Sand Splash was just about manipulating a small pile of fine sand to push them out. Now, as Fang Yuan could see, it was like a mini sandstorm rushing towards him, indicating Eevee's excellent control over the Ground-type energy.

"To understand Splashing Sand just by building sand castles, Eevee must have a talent for it..."

Fang Yuan smiled. Quick Attack and Sand Splash, Eevee could skillfully use both moves. In the special training, Eevee's basic qualities were also improving steadily every day. They even had their hidden ace up their sleeve, the Ability to Predict Danger, which, although it was still not well mastered by Eevee, was much better than when they first started.

Its strength, after three weeks of special training, could be described as a dramatic change, and Eevee's spirit also underwent a significant transformation.

If one said it had been born only a month ago, no one would believe it.

"Eevee, next up is special training for Quick Attack, same as usual, 800 meters distance, and you're required to return within 90 seconds, with no more than five mistakes."

Since it was an obstacle course, in reality, the distance had already exceeded 800 meters. However, this was no longer a difficult challenge for Eevee, who was skilled at using Quick Attack.

"Bwoo!!"

Seeing that Eevee was ready, Fang Yuan took out his watch, prepared to time it. However, at that moment, he suddenly felt something was off. At the same time, Eevee also tensed up, warily looking around.

"You feel it too, don't you?"

"Bwoo." Eevee nodded.

The two of them had almost simultaneously felt an inexplicable sense of oppression take hold. Hesitating for a moment, Eevee began to move, gently shaking its neck's creamy fluff and following the soft brown fur, tapping the ground with its fluffy tail, and with concerned eyes, looked up at the sky.

Compared to the pressure Fang Yuan felt, the innate alarm provided by the Dangerous Premonition ability made Eevee much more sensitive.

"We better get out of here."

Fang Yuan immediately thought of terminating the special training. As he tightened his clothes, Eevee quickly jumped onto his shoulder.

However, just as Fang Yuan had taken a few steps, an unexpected change occurred. An invisible surge of Wave Motion came sweeping through, and the structure of Earth space here seemed to be rewritten in an instant, causing countless Dimensional Passages to appear...

Unsurprisingly, they were swept into one.

"MMP!"

"Bwoo!!!"

These were the last thoughts of Fang Yuan and Eevee.

...

With eyes closed and then opened again, the surroundings became unfamiliar.

Fang Yuan's heart was pounding, and his face was filled with bewilderment, as he had no idea what had just happened.

Eevee also clung tightly to Fang Yuan's neck, frightened by the strange transformation.

Both of them were more nervous than the other, encountering such an event, and it was already good that they didn't faint from fear.

Purple, blue, green...

These three colors enveloped them, and their shades kept changing in the eyes of Fang Yuan and Eevee, occasionally marked by white cracks that nearly blinded them both. Fortunately, this visual bombardment did not last long as their vision was soon completely covered by a swath of white light.

"Damn it."

Fang Yuan and Eevee shuddered, and when they opened their eyes again, they continued to doubt their lives.

"Have I traveled through time again?"

"Bwoo?"

This should be a jungle, right...

Fang Yuan looked around, then suddenly seemed to think of something and instantly showed a bitter expression.

He had a guess about what was happening.

Secret location!

Could it be that they had accidentally entered a secret location?

Ever since secret locations began to merge with Earth on a large scale nearly a hundred years ago, their emergence has never stopped.

The appearance of each new secret location inevitably brought harm to the local ecology and towns.

It was precisely to prevent the damage caused by secret locations that the Trainer Association established a branch in every region, so they could react promptly when a new secret location appeared.

"Secret locations can be classified by size into super large, large, medium, small, and super miniature..."

"Generally speaking, the smaller the secret location, the faster it fuses with Earth space, and the more unstable dimensional passages connecting the two different spaces there are."

"Eevee and I easily stumbled into a secret location, so this is most likely a super miniature secret realm. The danger shouldn't be too great... right?"

Fang Yuan himself wasn't confident, so he took out his phone, and sure enough, because of the secret location, it was unusable. Even the watch that kept time had completely stopped working, just as textbooks teach, all electronic devices were rendered useless. This would last until the secret location was fully integrated with Earth, and the surrounding space magnetic field gradually stabilized.

"Eevee, let's just stay here and not move, honestly waiting for rescue," Fang Yuan said cautiously.

Every branch of the Trainer Association has equipment to detect fluctuations of secret locations, and the larger the secret location, the easier it is to detect these fluctuations.

Some medium and large secret locations, because of their significant fluctuations, can even be detected months or years before they appear, providing sufficient time for the Trainer Association to respond.

But for super miniature secret locations, Fang Yuan remembered it took about 6 hours after their appearance to detect their fluctuations, which is a bit of a pitfall. So now, the ones that generally harm ordinary people are the super miniature secret realms.

According to the Trainer Association's advice, the most correct action for ordinary people who have wandered into a secret location is to find a safe place to stay put and wait for a Professional Trainer to initiate a rescue.

Although Fang Yuan was a Trainer, he did not plan to run around risking his life because the Pokemon in the secret location were not very friendly.

Before and after contact with Earth, perhaps due to some differences, the majority of the Pokemon inhabiting the secret locations would become very agitated, displaying high aggressiveness and destructiveness, including the normally docile Pokemon.

Academically, this condition is called Exotic Syndrome, but students prefer to call it acclimatization issues.

The condition of the Pokemon, apart from human treatment, requires a long time to ease before they can return to their original temperament.

"Stay calm, must stay calm," Fang Yuan thought to himself, looking at Eevee. Oh my treasure, we are really unlucky.
