Chapter 1497 Great, it’s Su Hao, this is a sure thing!
After finishing the sword-fighting competition with the three holy swordsmen, Su Hao declined Yegor's request to stay and chose to set off immediately after resting for a while.
His destination was the extremely important port of the Northern Bear Alliance - the Port of Murmansk.
Influenced by the warm current of the North Atlantic, the harbor is almost ice-free all year round. It serves as a military port, fishing port and commercial port. It is also the forward base for many Arctic Ocean research stations.
The icebreaker survey ship jointly formed by the three major alliances will also depart from this port.
Because of the absence of Jade Warrior Eagle, the Pokémon that served as Su Hao's flying mount was replaced by Articuno.
Because of Su Hao's advance notice, the Ice God's swaggering through the airspace of the Northern Bear Alliance did not cause any international problems. However, because many Northern Bears witnessed Articuno's appearance with their own eyes, discussions on the Internet remained high.
It is said that the long-lost sacred bird has finally reappeared in Beixiong or something...
Because the existence of the Divine Bird Sanctuary is kept strictly secret by all major alliances, at least from the perspective of civilians in the Northern Bear Alliance, the truth is indeed true.
When Su Hao, who was playing with his phone out of boredom on the back of the divine bird Ben, saw this kind of comments, he would share them with Articuno.
Especially when reading comments praising Articuno, this conceited bird would puff out its chest, and even the movement of flapping its wings would become proud.
2025 2 Month 7 Day.
Port of Murmansk.
The lead-gray clouds covering the sky briefly dissipated, revealing a sky dyed rosy by the morning glow.
Next to the huge icebreaker research ship docked at the port, cranes made dull roars as they hoisted the necessary materials for entering the Arctic Circle onto the ship.
Whether it is humans or Pokémon, they all seem so small in front of this behemoth that embodies the crystallization of human wisdom.
The only thing that can be compared to him is probably the legendary god who fully displays the "form of God".
Just like Groudon, the Earth Creator who almost destroyed the Sakura Country Alliance.
Compared with the sea ice that stretches for thousands of miles in the distance, the sea water here seems cold, but there are very few ice floes floating on the sea. From time to time, long-winged gulls fly over the sea and randomly catch a lucky sea fish.
——They are reluctant to approach the research vessel.
Apart from the fact that there are trainers who come to drive them away regularly, the main reason is that the humans and Pokémon on and off the ship are so busy that no one will pay any attention to them at all.
Instead of trying to please these guys, it is better to go to the nearby commercial and fishing ports that are open to the public. At least there will be fishermen and tourists who will feed them their favorite French fries.
Different from the bustling atmosphere around, in a corner of the deck, a group of people were quietly looking at the distant sky.
After a long silence, someone broke the silence first.
"I say, will that champion really come?"
The person who spoke was the captain of this polar icebreaker research vessel.
He has a burly build, a bronze face full of frost, a neatly trimmed gray stubble, and an old but straight uniform. He is a typical northern bear tough guy.
Being entrusted with important tasks by the three major alliances, his abilities have naturally been widely recognized in the professional field.
As one of the few people who has successfully completed multiple Arctic Circle missions, his experience can lead this large search and rescue team to better find the truth behind the loss of contact with the scientific research station.
He himself is also a strong gym-level trainer, so even if he is surrounded by famous and powerful trainers, his words can be clearly heard by everyone.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the only yellow woman present.
Her name is Shi Wei, the current one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Fire of the Shenzhou Alliance. She boarded this huge research vessel as part of the entourage of experts sent by the Shenzhou Alliance.
Her mission is to ensure the safety of every scientific researcher who is a treasure, to determine the current status of the lost scientific research station belonging to the Shenzhou Alliance, and to take action to solve problems that may be encountered during the voyage when necessary.
As a trainer specializing in fire attribute, he is on a mission in the polar region. At first glance, it seems incompatible. However, compared with a trainer specializing in ice attribute, a powerful trainer specializing in fire attribute can better protect the safety of personnel in the polar environment.
Because even if the powerful fire-attribute Pokémon comes to an environment like the polar regions, although it does not have the blessing of the environment, it can still provide the most precious heat.
Of course, we cannot deny the combat effectiveness of ice and water attribute Pokémon in the polar regions.
Shi Wei rolled her eyes at the tough guy, "Why are you in such a hurry, Old Moore? If you say you're coming, then you're definitely coming. Isn't there still one day before we set off?"
In order to carry out this mission, Shi Wei underwent special training before setting off.
She also arrived at the Murmansk port early and followed some small icebreakers to carry out several missions on the edge of the Arctic Circle.
This also resulted in Shi Wei having a gentle appearance like a classical beauty from China, but her movements and expressions were very similar to those of the heroic crew members.
She had also worked with Captain Moore several times, and their relationship was not so restrained.
The other two Four Heavenly Kings from different alliances are similar to Shi Wei.
Sophia, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ice from the Northern Bear Alliance, and Ort, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Water from the White Eagle Alliance, are both already weathered men.
Rather than being nervous before sailing, they were more eager to see this true strongest champion of Blue Planet and the youngest master trainer in the world.
But just like Shi Wei said, there was still one day before departure, and others could come at any time. They couldn't just wait on the deck all the time, as there was still a lot of work to do.
Just when a few people were about to disband, suddenly, there was a commotion among the crew members who were counting supplies not far away.
I saw them pointing at a patch of morning glow in the distant sky above the port behind them, mumbling something to each other.
Everyone looked up at the sky in the direction some crew members pointed, and then their expressions were stunned for a moment.
In the beautiful morning glow, a beautiful and sacred ice-blue bird with crystal ice chips all around its body and streamlined tail feathers dragging the gorgeous aurora was seen flying slowly towards the icebreaker research ship.
——That’s the God of Ice, Articuno!
Although the other party did not accept the offerings from the Northern Bear Alliance, many people in the Northern Bear Alliance still worshipped him as a god.
And at this moment, the gods appeared!
As one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ice, the moment Sophia saw Articuno, she was immersed in great shock and couldn't extricate herself.
Shi Wei, Ort and Captain Moore's attention was not only focused on the beautiful divine bird, but also on the young man on its back.
If they were to ask who in this world had such a great "face" to be carried by the divine bird itself, they thought there was only one answer.
Especially when Articuno approached the research ship and began to prepare to descend, they saw Su Hao's young face more clearly.
The moment they saw each other's faces, the same thought emerged in everyone's mind.
——Great, it’s Su Hao, the voyage is stable this time!
