Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

Chapter 61 Psyduck's Residence, the Underwater Temple

Gyarados, along with Psyduck and Ark, charged straight into the underwater whirlpool.

Just when Fangzhou thought he would be swept up and torn apart by the raging water, a sudden light appeared before his eyes.

A feeling of weightlessness came over me, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that the surrounding environment had changed drastically!

Above us stretched an endless curtain of blue water, and sunlight, refracted through the water, transformed into shimmering beams of light that illuminated the world below.

A large group of pearl oysters live together among the corals, becoming one with them.

Several ancient coelacanths swam past slowly, swaying their tail fins and occasionally exhaling bubbles.

Further away, the silhouettes of several megalodon sharks appeared and disappeared in the water like ghosts, with only their distinctive scarlet eyes visible and the faint sound of splashing could be heard.

Seemingly sensing the aura emanating from Psyduck, it remained at a distance, hesitant to approach.

ark:?

Where did this come from?

If I remember correctly, Pokémon like Sharpedo and Clamshell should all live in the sea.

So, this is the seabed?!

Wasn't I just in a lake? How did I suddenly end up in the sea?

Fangzhou stretched his hand out of the bubble, touched some of the water outside, and brought it to his nose to sniff.

Sure enough, it had the distinctive salty smell of seawater.

Having lived by the sea for over ten years in his previous life, Fangzhou would never forget this taste.

Fangzhou turned his head to look at the whirlpool he had just passed through and immediately understood.

So this vortex is actually a space tunnel?!

Once you go through this tunnel, you can reach the sea!

so amazing.

Looking at the blue figure in front of me, who was just over a meter tall, I suddenly felt much taller.

Psyduck is amazing! It actually has the ability to create space tunnels.

Candela Duck?

It's estimated that he encountered some kind of opportunity and gained the ability to manipulate space.

Fang Zhou's mind immediately started working, and he suddenly had a bold idea.

If I and Psyduck could borrow this tunnel, or have it help build a few more tunnels, wouldn't that be...?

We can start developing ocean shipping business in the future!

While others need to transport goods to the port and then painstakingly begin the transportation process, I only need to pass through the tunnel to reach the sea near my destination.

Ark Express, mission accomplished!

No matter how far, with the help of the undersea tunnel, you can arrive on the same day!

Fangzhou silently gave himself a thumbs up for his brilliant idea.

Continuing forward, as Psyduck led the way, leaping into a barrier and disappearing from sight, the scenery before Ark changed once again.

As the surrounding seawater receded, an extremely magnificent building appeared before them, leaving Ark completely stunned.

This is a huge temple whose entire body flows with the luster of water.

Its shape resembles a blooming deep-sea flower, with each petal forming a layer of architecture.

The layers of domes and columns are carved with countless ancient, intricate, and mysterious patterns.

The entire temple exudes a soft and solemn white glow, standing quietly on the seabed like a sleeping ancient sea god.

This... it looks a bit like the Temple of the Sea, the temple where Manafi, the prince of the sea, lived.

Ark gave a strange look as it watched Psyduck, who was excitedly beckoning it inside.

Did you steal the Temple of the Sea...?

But on second thought, I knew it was impossible.

Psyduck may be a champion-level Pokémon, but it's still no match for even a single finger of a legendary Pokémon; it simply doesn't have that ability.

Besides, the Temple of the Sea requires a token from the people of the sea to enter.

Fangzhou carefully observed the complex and discovered something.

These buildings have no stairs; they're suspended in the air, floor by floor. How do you get up there?

Then, Psyduck stretched out its hand, and the seawater in front of it instantly began to churn!

A violent flow of energy raged around him.

Psyduck pointed its finger upwards, and the water swirled, quickly coalescing into a giant waterspout.

Guided by its fingertips, the countless raging torrents of water, as if heeding a king's command, became gentle and soothing, and their rotation slowed down.

In just a few breaths, a giant waterspout made of seawater, more than ten meters in diameter, took shape, like a spiral staircase connecting the temple to the building above!

Fangzhou and Kirlia behind him were stunned.

This move is very flashy, and when combined with the ancient buildings around it, it exudes an indescribable sense of majesty.

Kirullian's eyes were practically sparkling.

This is it!

This is the performance effect I wanted!

The magnificent and grand scenes are visually stunning!

Kirlia suddenly felt inspired by her performance in the Grand Contest.

Follow Psyduck as it steps onto the spiral staircase formed by waterspouts, and it automatically floats upwards with the water flow, arriving inside the temple in just a few moments.

The interior of the temple is much more spacious than it appears from the outside, supported by massive blue pillars that require several people to encircle.

In the distance, you can see arched corridors leading to different side halls.

"Giggle~"

Psyduck happily grabbed Ark's clothes with one hand and Kirlia's with the other, and ran to one side of the hall.

There are several slides made of huge seashells, the inner walls of which are as smooth as jade and shimmer with an iridescent luster.

It should be the remains of some ancient creature.

Psyduck was the first to sit inside, and with a whoosh, it slid down the winding shell passage, making a cheerful quacking sound, and soon reached the bottom.

Fang Zhou stroked his chin. If it really was the remains of some kind of creature, then...

Does this count as dancing on someone's grave?

"Suri Suri~"

Kirlia nudged Ark from behind, sensing that he was thinking something unpleasant.

Hurry up and get down, it's your turn!

"Oh, oh." Fangzhou realized what was happening and sat down in the seashell as well.

call out!

It's like riding a slide, but the shell is very smooth and won't rub your thighs sorely. Fangzhou felt that he could slide in naked without any problem.

"Quack quack!" Psyduck was overjoyed to see Ark and Kirlia following it down.

Fangzhou was a little dazed, feeling that Psyduck didn't seem like a champion-level Pokémon, but more like a child who had long lacked playmates.

Then, Psyduck beckons Ark to go to a new place, saying it has something even more interesting to show Ark.

Follow Psyduck onward to a trampoline made entirely of water, but as bouncy and jelly-like as a jelly. Each landing creates beautiful ripples.

After playing for a while, the two Pokémon sat on a blue crystal, and Psyduck handed them a cup of milky white liquid in a seashell.

It's sweet, a bit like Moo Moo Milk, and quite delicious.

"Psyduck, do you usually live here with your friends?" Ark asked curiously, looking at the huge interior space.

There were only a dozen or so Psyducks scattered throughout the palace, which was still quite empty.

Psyduck shook its head.

For some reason, none of the other Psyducks wanted to enter the temple, so it was actually the only Pokémon living there.

It looked at the ark and squinted its eyes happily, "Gaga~"

Fangzhou and his group were among the first guests to arrive!
