Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

However, Milotic was unmoved, and said in a deep voice, "Fuwoo! (I'll handle this myself!)"

Milotic's pride wouldn't allow him to stand behind Xenbu at a time like this.

Sylveon wasn't the kind of elf who would invite trouble, and since Milotic had already said so, she didn't want to meddle.

But whether the Salamence was simply out of its mind or genuinely didn't take Fairybear seriously, it glanced disdainfully at Fairybear, who was several times smaller than it, and snorted coldly.

"Ouch—(Where did this little brat come from? Get lost! Or I'll take care of you too!)"

Just as Xenbu was about to leave, upon hearing this, her eyes suddenly narrowed, a strange smile appearing on her lips. She turned back to Milotic and said, "Now, this matter concerns me, doesn't it?"

Milotic: "."

Forget it, Salamence, good luck to you.

…………

Xia Chen looked at Xianbu, who had transformed into a character in the play before he could even say a word, and felt rather helpless.

Kirlia and Zoroah are definitely the ones who make things easier for me.

He quickly instructed the two bewildered children, "You two don't go over there yet, check the situation first."

If the opponent only has this one Lickitung, Sylveon and Milotic can handle it perfectly well, and there's no need to make the situation even more chaotic.

"Qiru".

"Yo~"

Kirlia and Zoroah nodded obediently and stood back beside Xia Chen, ready to watch their Sibyl's performance.

Meanwhile, surrounded by so many juniors and repeatedly provoked by Milotic and Sylveon, Salamence's long-suppressed anger finally erupted.

After an angry roar, Salamence glared with blood-red eyes and pounced towards Sylveon and Milotic.

This is a move that most Dragon-type Pokémon can master: Outrage!

There are no special techniques for using the Reverse Scale move, because it's a move without any skill involved.

The essence of this move lies in unleashing the anger and dragon energy within the body in a chaotic and reckless manner.

Clearly, Salamence's anger had reached its peak.

Its strong, powerful wings flapped wildly and uncontrollably, and the gusts of wind they created around it elicited waves of cheers from the little dragon cubs watching.

That's right, this is exactly the scene they want to see!

Anger, slaughter, bloodshed!

These elements truly capture the romance of the dragon!

Faced with Salamence's fierce charge, Milotic glanced at Salamence as if it were an idiot, then silently took two steps back.

The onlookers immediately booed him. "Even a dragon has challenged you to a duel, and you're backing down now?"

Is he a real man?

Milotic ignored the rumors spread by these little dragons; they were clearly never left Dragon Island and had never experienced the harsh realities of life.

The little dragons didn't notice that the other target of the Salamence's attack, the unfamiliar outsider, suddenly grinned, revealing two shiny little fangs and a mischievous smile.

…………

However, instead of retreating, Fairyclops, locked by Reverse Scale, advanced and headed straight at the enraged Salamence, seemingly not taking this elite-level Salamence seriously at all.

The dragon cubs watching the spectacle were all astonished. This Pokémon couldn't sense the strong aura emanating from Salamence.

Has she always been this brave?

But the next second, their faces all showed expressions of utter disbelief.

Because in the face of the overwhelming Salamence, Sylveon, who was like a lone boat in the ocean, actually withstood the fierce attack of Salamence!

No, it's even more exaggerated than that. Under the attack of Salamence's Burst, Sylveon didn't seem to be affected at all!

What's happening here?

The dragon cubs, who had never been to the outside world and knew nothing about the fairy attribute that had only appeared in the last two years, were stunned.

Just a moment ago they were shouting and yelling, seemingly enjoying the chaos, but the next second, it was as if they were in a quiet library.

Even more surprised and incredulous than the dragon cubs was the Flying Dragon, whose blood-red, savage eyes showed a hint of bewilderment.

It seemed that he couldn't understand why his attack, which used all his strength and contained the most explosive dragon-type energy, had vanished without a trace, as if it had disappeared into the sea.

However, his Reverse Scale state rendered him completely incapable of thinking about the matter. The Salamence was now a puppet of his own emotions, and he could do nothing but continue to attack out of his body's instinctive rage.

But no matter how it attacked, whether it was headbutt, claw strike, or even Salamence using its teeth and wings, it still couldn't do anything to Sylveon.

On the contrary, every move that Sylveon made exuded an energy that Salamence found extremely annoying.

No, it's not just dislike, it's utter disgust.

…………

If ice energy could simply cause significant damage to one's body, then this inexplicable, unknown energy caused Salamence to develop a deep-seated aversion to it.

It's a resistance that originates deep within our genes.

But by this point, Salamence had no way back. When it chose to let its anger control it, it could only continue down this path until it was exhausted or fell into chaos.

So for the next full half minute, what was presented to the little dragon cubs was an extremely bizarre and cruel scene.

That cute, pink and seemingly harmless sprite kept relentlessly attacking the Salamence, which was several times larger and stronger than her.

The methods were extremely brutal, and the scenes were particularly bloody!

The little dragons couldn't help but swallow hard, and some of them even showed expressions of sorrow for the dying of their kind.

Xia Chen, who had been observing from the side, nodded silently. Long Yue had said yesterday that Dragon-type Pokémon only respect the strong, and Sylveon's performance should be strong enough, right?

Before he could even feel happy, his heart skipped a beat again.

However, won't Sylvanas's brutality in front of so many pseudo-god cubs scare away his potential targets?

Xia Chen suddenly felt a little conflicted.

But since it's already happened, we can't just let her stop, can we?

Seeing the excited look on Xianbu's face, Xia Chen thought for a moment and decided not to ask Xianbu to be gentle.

Forget it, let's just consider it scaring those cowards away.

Salamence didn't last long enough to fall into a state of confusion before collapsing at Sylveon's feet.

Seeing Fairyclops calmly trampling the arrogant Salamence under his feet without batting an eye, the dragon cubs fell silent in fear.

Watching the spectacle is one thing, but if an iron fist actually hits you on the head, that's a completely different story.

Just as the scene fell silent, a powerful Garchomp suddenly flew in from the direction of the lake.

Xia Chen used his superpowers to roughly sense that its strength was at least equivalent to Long Ye's fire-breathing dragon.

…………

Xia Chen looked serious; this was no simple dojo-level challenge.

Ryūno is a gym leader, but that doesn't mean his strength is only at the gym level.

Just like the legendary Chibana from Galar, who was said to have the potential to become a champion in other regions, while there might be some exaggeration from the locals, it still illustrates a point—

Being a gym leader is just a title and doesn't fully represent one's strength.

In short, this Garchomp should be at least Champion level in strength!

Was his intention good or evil?

Is it really going to be like those fantasy novels where the younger generation gets punished and the older generation suffers the consequences?

At least start with a weakness, and proceed gradually.

As Xia Chen was lost in thought, the Champion-level Garchomp gave Sylveon a meaningful look, and then at Xia Chen.

He then let out a low, hoarse call and pointed towards the lake, as if asking me to follow him.

As for the Salamence lying on the ground, Garchomp didn't even glance at it.

Xia Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief; it didn't seem like he was standing up for the Salamence.

That's normal. For dragon-type Pokémon, which are naturally brave and combative, this kind of jealousy and rivalry over mates is perfectly normal.

From another perspective, Salamence's behavior of standing up for its "goddess" despite the obvious odds, only to get beaten up in the end, is somewhat disgraceful to Dragon Island.

From a human perspective, Licking Dragon Abao's behavior is no different from a young couple who have already had a child arguing over something. Before the other party has said anything, he stands up aggressively, wanting to stand up for his goddess.

Such behavior is downright sycophantic!

Before leaving, Xia Chen looked at the unconscious Bao Feilong lying on the ground with pity and shook his head.

Like a clown, so pathetic.

Ignoring the licking dragon, Xia Chen took his Pokémon, rode Flygon, and followed Garchomp towards the lake.

Unbeknownst to him, among the dragon cubs who had just been watching the fierce battle, a small gray figure floated up and then followed Xia Chen away like a ghost.

…………

The lake was larger than Xia Chen had imagined; so large that there was even a fairly large island in the center of the lake.

The closer they got to the lake island on this island, the more excited the desert dragonfly that Xia Chen was riding became.

It seems this is where the secrets of Dragon Island are hidden.

The elves dwelling in this naturally auspicious land are all powerful third-tier quasi-gods.

Goodra, Salamence, Dragonite, and occasionally you can even see a few rare Dragapults.

Their strength is roughly estimated to be no less than that of a gymnast. Among this group of Pokémon, the Garchomp that brought Xia Chen in did not stand out much.

Because there are others with equal strength to him, or even slightly stronger auras, and quite a few of them.

Among them, the most imposing was undoubtedly the enormous Dragonite.

In the animation, there once appeared a colossal ancient dragon of mysterious origin. It lived in the mist of the sea and was so tall that it was even taller than a lighthouse at sea.

Of course, this Dragonite wasn't as exaggerated as the one in the anime, but it was still six or seven meters long.

Compared to the average height of the Dragonite species, which is just over two meters, this is already a giant's height.
