Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 413 Kyurem, Follow Me!

"How, how is it possible..."

Quixote was devastated; he never imagined he would be ambushed!
Even a fool would know that he had been tricked!
"Who? Who is it? You scoundrel! If you've got the guts, come out and fight me fair and square!"

Quixote was in a fit of impotent rage, and with his cane taken away, he was powerless to even kill a chicken.

Even his ace Pokémon, Hydreigon, was defeated by Forsaken, who treated it like a roadside monster.

So, is reconciliation possible?

Quixote, who had just uttered those harsh words, suddenly changed his mind.

It seems that I am now like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

"Oh, so you want to have a one-on-one fight with me? Of course, no problem at all."

A huge ice crystal beside Quixote instantly melted into water.

The azure flames suddenly surged, and Li Xuan, enveloped in flames, slowly stepped out from within.

"Gypsy, one of the Seven Sages of Team Plasma, I'm giving you a chance now. Defeat me in a Pokémon battle and I'll spare your life."

After speaking, in the firelight beside Li Xuan, Reshiram spread his wings and swaggered into the world.

Quixote: "..."

The field fell silent for a moment.

"you!"

Quixote was speechless for a long time. He stretched out a finger and pointed it firmly at Li Xuan.

If looks could kill, he would have torn Li Xuan to pieces long ago.

"Oh dear, impotent rage is just impotent rage. If you don't have the strength, why try to spout tough words like others?"

Li Xuan shrugged.

Double Ice flew to Li Xuan's side and handed him the gene wedge on his cane.

"good."

Li Xuan patted the Double-Up Ice Cream, then stared at Ghettoss: "How about this, I'll give you another chance. I have three here, you can choose one Pokémon to fight, how about that?"

Double Ice, Forsaken, and Reshiram—these three Pokémon stood before Ghettoss, ready for him to choose.

If you didn't know better, you'd think this was a completely random mode where you were picking the starter three champions.

Quixote looked at the three Pokémon in front of him.

Rahiram was ruled out as the first one.

It's not just because Reshiram is a top-tier god-tier character; just looking at its stats, it's capable of soloing its entire team.

Secondly, there's the Forsaken Monkey, whose Fighting-type ability can defeat his entire team.

That being the case...

There's only one option left.

"I...I choose Double Extra Ice."

Quixote thought that Double Ice was a Pokémon that couldn't do anything.

Although it's unclear why it was able to learn Psychic despite its racial stats being different, it's ultimately still a Double-Edge Ice.

It's not even worth mentioning.

Ah!
Will win!
"Geometric snowflakes, go!"

Quixote sends out geometric snowflakes.

"Geometric snowflakes? Not bad."

Upon seeing the geometric snowflakes sent out by Quixote, Li Xuan nodded slightly.

Then, the snap of his fingers was exceptionally crisp.

"Double the amount of ice, the big characters are bursting with fire!"

Quixote: ?

Viewers in the live stream: ?

Double Ice with Big Fire?

Is this the kind of command a human being could shout out?

But it is what it is.

Double Ice's two heads spewed out two streams of fire, which gathered into a fireball in front of it before transforming into a "大" (big) character and roaring out!

The geometric snowflake was hit on the spot and fell directly to the ground, unable to move.

"..."

Quixote's worldview has completely collapsed.

Who created this illegal Double Plus Ice?!
Double lots of ice with big characters bursting into flames!

I even snapped up his geometric snowflake design!

Is this a human?

"Alright, Team Plasma's Ghetsis, just surrender now. Don't force me to take action."

A gentleman uses words, not fists; Li Xuan would rather not resort to violence than be forced to do so unless absolutely necessary.

"hateful……"

Quidditch thought to send out his self-destructing Pokémon.

but……

"Abandon the drink!"

The Abandoned Monkey stepped forward and slapped Quixote unconscious.

"Oh dear, I never expected that the leader of a villainous organization would be a trainer who can only rage incompetently. That's really low-class."

Li Xuan held his forehead.

Speaking of villains, the Plasma Team is on the lower tier in terms of prestige.

Of course, this excludes the Shouting Team and the Star Team.

As for the Skull team.

That was just a local gang of thugs.

It only seems to have a tiny bit of prestige because it's backed by the Ethereum Foundation.

Yes, but not much.

After dealing with these matters, Li Xuan ended the live stream.

Next, he took Mew and went to capture all the Team Plasma members who were outside.

After Officer Jenny from the Unova region came to clean up the mess, Li Xuan returned to the depths of the Giant's Cave to talk to Kyurem about something.

"Kyurem, I have a question, may I ask it?"

Li Xuan rubbed his hands together and chuckled a few times.

"Speak, what is it? If you want me to let those three swordsmen go, then of course that's no problem."

Kyurem's anger has subsided, and he has received the punishment he deserved.

Letting Keldeo's three masters go is not out of the question.

"Oh, no, that's not it. Well, you've also changed the way the residents of the Unova region view you, haven't you?"

Li Xuan scratched his head and winked at Kyurem: "I feel like more and more trainers will be coming to you. I think you know why, right?"

"why?"

Kyurem's CPU can't keep up.

"Didn't you say that as long as I do what you say, those humans won't bother me anymore?"

Kyurem remembered clearly that what Li Xuan initially wanted to express was that its reputation was bad.

If the fact that Quixote entered is leaked by someone who doesn't know the truth, then many people will definitely come looking for trouble for him.

"Yes, yes, they certainly won't bother you anymore. But I didn't say they wouldn't come to pay their respects to you."

Li Xuan said righteously, "If they hadn't done those things, they would definitely have come with the intention of harassing you. But now it's different. They're not harassing you, but respecting you."

Kyurem: "..."

Kyurem's silence was deafening.

So, no matter what, someone will come looking for it?
One was well-intentioned, the other was purely there to cause trouble.

"Yes, yes, no matter what, someone will come looking for you. But I do know a place, do you want to come with me?"

Li Xuan raised an eyebrow and extended an invitation to Kyurem.

"Don't worry, as long as you come with me, there will definitely be fewer people coming to find you."

Li Xuan told the truth.

Yes, he wants to bring Kyurem to the Kanto region. Even if some people want to see Kyurem, most of them are from Kanto.

In this respect, Li Xuan did not deceive Long.

I just used a little bit of conversational skill when I was expressing myself.

Kyurem asked, "Are you sure?"

Li Xuan's voice was firm and powerful: "Of course, I'm sure! Kyurem, you can rest assured when I do things!"

"However, before that, I still need to assess your abilities."

Although Kyurem lives in a remote corner and often sleeps wherever it pleases, that doesn't mean it's a random dragon.

In situations like this, only a trainer whom the user approves of can take it away.

Otherwise, don't even think about it.

"Testing my strength? You mean you want to fight me?"

Aside from that, Li Xuan couldn't figure out how Kyurem was trying to assess his strength.

"That's right! Humans recognized by numerous legends!"

Kyurem's roar shook the cave ceiling, causing ice spikes to fall in a flurry. It spread its broken ice wings, and the temperature in the entire cave plummeted to absolute zero.

"If you want me to follow you, prove it with your strength!"

As it spoke, countless hexagonal ice crystals erupted from its body, forming a massive ice and snow throne within the grotto.

The extreme cold domain unfolded instantly, and the freezing air condensed by its right claw instantly turned the rock wall it touched into dust.

Then, an ice wall rose up and replaced the rock wall!

Boundary Pokémon, Hollowshell Dragon, Kyurem, come and battle!
Pokémon: Kyurem

[Attribute: Dragon, Ice]

[Level: 80] [Characteristic: Oppressive]

[Movements: Frozen World, Absolute Zero, others omitted.]

A level 80 Kyurem has already entered the realm of battling Legendary characters.

Aside from Red, Blue, and Leon, only some of the champion's ace Pokémon have a chance to fight it.

Kyurem lowered its dragon head, its eyes flashing with an unprecedented fighting spirit.

Since splitting up with Reshiram and Zekrom, it seems he has lost the concept of fighting.

All I do is sleep.

This is the first time I've ever wanted to have a major battle with humanity.

"Reshiram, can I ask you for a favor?"

Li Xuan currently has three paths to choose from.

One option is to let Reshiram play directly.

Secondly, let's make it a dreamlike experience.

The last option is to have Victini buff Ape so that it reaches a level where it can go toe-to-toe with Kyurem, and then send Ape into battle.

Either way, it's feasible.

"No problem. As long as Kyurem doesn't force a fusion halfway through, exchanging a few blows with it, or even defeating it, is a sure thing."

Rashiram felt incredibly powerful at that moment.

It's Reshiram, the true dragon capable of crushing three Kyurem!

What can we use to fight a mere empty shell of a dragon that has neither reality nor ideals?

Can?

It's very difficult.

"The arrogant and conceited 'true dragon' is nothing but a reckless fool who only focuses on the present and ignores the distant future. Your so-called 'truth' is utterly laughable to me!"

Kyurem is quite the smooth talker; he immediately put Reshiram on the verge of exploding.

"Kyurem! I, Reshiram, will show you today who the true leader of the Three Dragons of the Way is!"

"Having lost the meaning of your existence, you are nothing but an empty shell, a pathetic dragon driven by power!"

Reshiram went straight for Kyurem.

With Li Xuan around, as long as the power of truth continues, beating up Kyurem is not impossible!
"Leshiram, Qing Yan!"

Li Xuan decided against testing the waters and directly ordered Reshiram to launch a forceful attack using the Azure Flame technique.

Azure flames raged.

The azure hue within the Giant's Cave was replaced by the glow of blue flames.

However, Kyurem ignored it and disregarded Reshiram's blue flames.

Even in Reshiram, they played with transformations.

"Drink, Chief!"

Kyurem let out a low shout, his entire body enveloped in dark lightning.

Rahiram: ?
"Wait, why does Kyurem have Zekrom's aura on him?!"

While Reshiram can fight three Kyurem, it would be quite troublesome if it also gained control of Zekrom's power.

"Reshiram, don't stop, keep using Blue Flame!"

Li Xuan frowned slightly, and after giving the order, Reshiram obeyed.

Inside the Giant's Cave, the temperature continued to rise.

Despite the melting of ice and snow, Kyurem remained unaffected.

Boom boom! ! !

Just as the blue flame was about to shrink and transform into a sphere to engulf Kyurem, an electromagnetic pulse exploded from Kyurem's body, blasting the blue flame away.

"Speaking of which, aside from stomping noobs, has your Azure Flame never worked at all, Reshiram?"

Li Xuan tapped his chin.

I always feel that Reshiram's blue flame moves look really cool.

But its expressiveness is not as strong as that of Zekrom?
They're either being destroyed or in the process of being destroyed; there haven't been any instances where they've actually caused damage.

For example, it's somewhat like Amaterasu from Naruto.

It looks impressive, but it's actually just so-so.

That made him seem rather ridiculous.

"Do you want to see who my opponents are every time I play?"

Reshiram felt like a toucan encountering a Golduck with no weather to do with it – a little speechless.

Every time I play, it's in a high-level match, and my Azure Flame skill is only really good for crushing noobs.

Once you encounter an opponent of the same level, what else can you do but cancel each other out?
If there aren't many opportunities to use it properly, then it certainly won't be very effective.

"Ahem, that's true."

Li Xuan chuckled awkwardly, then his gaze settled on Kyurem.

The electromagnetic pulse exploded, and Kyurem's form changed.

Its main body still looks like the previous gray Tyrannosaurus Rex, but it has many organs similar to Zekrom on its body.

For example, the tail, arms, wings, and horns on the top of the head.

The previously missing parts have been filled in, turning into the unique jet black of Czechoslovakia.

Dark Kyurem!
Base stats surpass 700!

"Reshiram, do you want Bictini to give you a buff?"

Li Xuan knew that the situation with Kyurem was not as simple as one plus one. Even if Reshiram could suppress three Kyurem, it didn't feel as easy as Reshiram had said.

"No need. Zekrom is my defeated opponent. Even if Kyurem uses the power of my defeated opponent, it cannot change the fact that he is my defeated opponent."

Rahiram made a disdainful sound.

If Kyurem were using its own power, it would definitely be more careful.

But Kyurem uses the power of Zekrom.

It was nothing more than a defeated foe; it laughed at the sight.

"Alright, then be careful."

Li Xuan exhaled and watched as Dark Kyurem raised his hands, his entire body erupting with azure lightning!

In an instant, the lightning was enveloped by an extremely cold energy, transforming into a huge ice crystal that smashed down angrily!

Ice-type Freeze Volt!
If Dark Kyurem's signature move hits, even a fully charged Reshiram might not be able to sustain a fight for long.

"Reshiram, use Dragon Dance to dodge! Then use the sealing technique!"

Li Xuan chose to take advantage of the situation first.

The Lehiram turbine's exhaust flame suddenly turned red, and at the last second, he dodged the incoming ice lightning.

"Laihou!"

It raised its head and roared, its eyes radiating an eerie, supernatural light.

A huge "X"-shaped energy pattern appeared around Dark Kyurem, tightening like an invisible shackle.

Just as Dark Kyurem was about to unleash his Dragon Claw attack, the azure light abruptly stopped just as it began to coalesce.

It was shocked to find that its ice wings had become incredibly heavy. It instinctively tried to use Dragon Pulse, but found that no matter what it did, it could not gather any dragon energy.

The sealing technique worked successfully!
"Human! When it comes to cunning and treachery, I still can't beat you!"

Dark Kyurem was so angry he laughed.

It imagined battles as the kind of physical clashes where every punch lands, but when it fought Li Xuan, it was caught off guard and outmaneuvered.

They may not be very strong, but they are quite cunning in their methods.

"We're in the same boat; extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."

Li Xuan readily accepted this: "When battling a Pokémon as powerful as yours, it would be quite difficult to win without using a little trick."

"Heh heh heh... Human! Let me see how far your cunning and treachery can go!"

Dark Kyurem simply stopped using Dragon-type moves.

Da da da!
Its icy claws locked onto Reshiram, and after a series of crisp, loud sounds, it fired countless ice spikes like a machine gun.

"Reshiram, use Dragon Dance again!"

Li Xuan was still greedy, but not for physical attack; he wanted the speed-up effect of Dragon Dance.

Rahiram soared freely, then suddenly accelerated.

It dodged several ice spikes released by Dark Kyurem, which made it furious.

So cunning!

Aren't you supposed to be the True Dragon?

Why are you afraid to even have a real competition?
Instead, they're just blindly dodging around?

"Kyurem! Only by surviving can you have a chance to deal damage! This is my truth!"

Rashiram isn't stupid; it won't stand there and take a beating.

It felt quite good to use Dragon Dance and Blue Flame to cleanse the ground at the same time.

"What kind of man hides and stalks?!"

Dark Kyurem's body spewed forth a blizzard, instantly turning the cave interior into a frozen wasteland.

Rashiram's operation was thwarted; he possessed great speed but was unable to utilize it.

Clearly, Dark Kyurem is about to unleash his ultimate move!

"Reshiram, use Stone Spike!"

After transforming into Dark Kyurem, its attributes remained unchanged.

It's still a dragon and ice element.

Dragon-type moves are weak to Ice-type moves, while Rock-type moves are strong against Ice-type moves.

Reshiram had previously used Dragon Dance twice, and the power of this Stone Strike was even greater than the Blizzard unleashed by Dark Kyurem!

"Leahy!"

Reshiram's white wings suddenly flapped, and countless huge, sharp rocks spun around before shooting out and tearing through the air!
Swish swish!
The sharp stone attack directly cleaved the blizzard into a vacuum zone, revealing Dark Kyurem's figure once again!

Faced with the oncoming attack of sharp stones, Dark Kyurem raised his arms to protect his chest, and lightning burst forth instantly, shattering them into dust!

Dark Kyurem looked up again and found Reshiram had become one with the wind and snow!
