I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

"call!"

Kyurem stopped, slightly opened his mouth, and exhaled a visible amount of cold air. His eyes, gleaming with a yellow light, stared intently at Master Wang.

Master Wang saw indifference in this.

"Step over that door." A deep voice suddenly rang out, striking the hearts of the group like a heavy hammer through telepathy.

A door? Master Wang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up at the archway made of ice.

Is it this? Is it telling me to cross over? What am I supposed to do by crossing over? Master Wang pondered.

Kyurem's words were like a thunderclap in Ye Feng's ears, and he suddenly remembered where he had seen this archway before.

That was seen in the theatrical film; once you cross it, it means you've entered the trial gate to challenge Kyurem.

Seeing that Master Wang was about to walk forward, Ye Feng shouted anxiously, "Don't go!"

Ye Feng couldn't remember exactly what the Kyurem's trial was. The only thing he knew was that no one present was a match for Kyurem in a one-on-one trial!

To rashly launch a challenge is absolutely a path to certain death.

If it were just a challenge, that would be fine, but Ye Feng vaguely remembered that the Pokémon that challenged Kyurem failed and was later even hunted down by Kyurem. So this challenge was very likely the kind that was a fight to the death.

"That archway is the trial gate for challenging Kyurem; once you cross it, it's a fight to the death!" Ye Feng shouted.

Master Wang's steps froze in mid-air at Ye Feng's shout.

Chapter 422 The Gate of Trials, Challenging the Legendary Spirit

Seeing this, Kyurem knew that Master Wang would not cross the threshold, and his gaze involuntarily turned to Ye Feng, his eyes suddenly flashing with excitement—the kind of excitement that could be seen with the naked eye.

"You've finally arrived!" Kyurem's heavy voice echoed in Ye Feng's mind.

"Me?" Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously pointed to himself. "Are you calling me?"

The group paused for a moment, then looked at Ye Feng in surprise.

“That’s right!” Kyurem roared, looking up. “I’ve waited too long, for the one who bears both illusion and reality.”

What does that mean? Ye Feng was full of questions. What was this about illusion and reality?

"What do you mean?" Ye Feng couldn't help but ask.

"If you want to know, step through this door and defeat me! Then I'll tell you!" Kyurem roared.

"..." Even mythical beasts like to be riddle solvers? Ye Feng was speechless.

The atmosphere immediately calmed down.

Kyurem waited quietly on the other side of the archway, staring at Ye Feng with his eyes flashing yellow light. Ye Feng hesitated, not daring to step forward.

Unable to hear Ye Feng and Kyurem's conversation, Master Yu and Yao Tianjun could only look back at them in confusion.

Seeing that Kyurem's attention was not on him and that it showed no intention of making a move, Master Wang tentatively took a few steps back. When Kyurem did not react, he quickly retreated with Blastoise.

"Ye Feng, what happened?" Master Wang asked anxiously.

"I don't know either." Ye Feng shook his head. "But all I know is that Kyurem seems to have its eye on me."

Master Wang was speechless. Anyone could see that, right? From the very beginning, Kyurem had only been staring at Ye Feng, not even glancing at the others.

"No way? Kyurem won't hunt me down like in the movie, will it?" Ye Feng panicked.

Although in the movie, the failed elf later successfully passed the Kyurem's trial, Ye Feng didn't believe he had that ability at all.

Putting aside the bizarre power level comparisons in the anime, what makes that Pokémon so powerful? It's the protagonist's halo in the movie, of course!

As we all know, each theatrical film corresponds to one or more Pokémon. As long as it's the theatrical version, these Pokémon are the main characters. Even if a legendary Pokémon comes, it will be defeated and leave in a completely unreasonable way.

"Cross over that door!" Kyurem urged again when he saw that Ye Feng showed no sign of moving.

"Can we not go?" Ye Feng asked cautiously.

Although Ye Feng has challenged and even defeated legendary Pokémon, what kind of opponents did he face?

Yveltal, whose power was almost completely depleted and had barely recovered, and Necrozma, whose body was missing and who had completely lost its power, were, at least in terms of strength, just Pokémon that were slightly stronger but disguised as legendary Pokémon.

But this Kyurem is different. Judging from the aura emanating from it, it is undoubtedly in a state of complete power. Ye Feng strongly suspects that it can even freely use the power of Reshiram and Zekrom.

"No." To Ye Feng's surprise, Kyurem answered his question seriously.

"..." Why does Kyurem suddenly seem a bit straightforward? Ye Feng scratched his head and said.

The current situation is awkward. If we go for it, there's no doubt that with Ye Feng's current strength, he absolutely cannot defeat Kyurem; if we run... it doesn't seem like we can escape.

"What exactly are you two talking about?" The others couldn't hear Kyurem and Ye Feng's conversation, and Master Wang couldn't help but become anxious.

"It's nothing really, Kyurem just insisted on fighting me," Ye Feng said helplessly.

"···"

Hearing Ye Feng's words, the group roughly guessed what Kyurem had said. They were speechless at Ye Feng's words and worried at the same time. Ye Feng was undoubtedly being targeted by Kyurem. Being targeted by a legendary Pokémon was not a good thing.

"How about we retreat first?" Master Wang suggested.

"It doesn't look too good." Ye Feng shook his head.

Master Wang hesitated for a moment, then guessed that Ye Feng was telling the truth, and frowned.

"There's no other way." Seeing that the others couldn't think of any solutions, Ye Feng sighed, "We have no choice but to go for it."

"Don't be impulsive, Xiao Feng!" Master Yu hurriedly pulled Ye Feng back. Why was this kid so impulsive? Is Kyurem something you can just casually use?

"Are there any other options?" Ye Feng asked quietly. "Fortunately, Kyurem can still communicate, otherwise if it had charged at us, we would all be finished."

"But..." Master Yu didn't know what to say, and Master Wang sighed helplessly.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Ye Feng blinked and said with a smile, "Don't forget who I am."

"We were just joking around." Master Wang knew exactly what Ye Feng was talking about: the mythical beast diplomatic ambassador.

"Really, I'll be fine." Ye Feng took a deep breath.

He has calmed down now. Although Kyurem's strength makes him hesitate, he suddenly remembers that he is actually fine.

Judging from Kyurem's appearance, he is completely communicable. So, if he reveals his identity at the appropriate time, with the protection of the World Tree and Mew, why should he worry about his life?

Just then, Ye Feng noticed that the scooping ring in his hand trembled a few times at a peculiar frequency. He rolled his eyes and said to Kyurem, "I can fight you, but before that, there's something I want to ask you."

"Ask away." Upon hearing that Ye Feng was willing to fight, Kyurem immediately perked up and slightly raised his body to speak.

"Did you create the frozen village outside?" Ye Feng asked.

Kyurem was silent for a moment before saying, "Perhaps it was affected by the power I accidentally leaked."

"Could you please remove it?" Ye Feng asked tentatively.

"Okay." Kyurem shook its massive head, and a powerful burst of energy erupted, shooting straight towards the top of the cave. Ye Feng even felt a tremor.

"Alright, I've lifted the freeze," Kyurem said.

"Okay, thank you very much." Ye Feng thanked him and then looked at Master Wang and the others.

"Master Wang, Master Yu, Yao Tianjun, you should go back to the ground."

"What? No way!" Master Yu immediately refused.

“I have asked Kyurem to lift the ice seal; the people in the village need help,” Ye Feng said.

"What?" Master Yu exclaimed in surprise.

"Really?" Yao Tianjun, who had been immersed in shock, only came to his senses when he heard that the ice seal had been lifted, and asked anxiously.

"Really, go quickly." Ye Feng nodded.

"Thank you!" Yao Tianjun shouted, instinctively wanting to run back, but then suddenly remembered something, turned back to look at Ye Feng, and hesitated.

"Go ahead, you can't be of any help staying here," Ye Feng said with a smile.

"I'll remember that."

Yao Tianjun knew that he couldn't help at all with his abilities, and might even be a hindrance, so he could only mutter a word and then quickly run back the way he came.

"Master Wang, Master Yu, you should go too." Ye Feng looked at the other two.

"How can this be? We have to stay and help you," Master Wang said anxiously.

Ye Feng shook his head: "The battle with Kyurem can only be a one-on-one fight, otherwise none of us can withstand its wrath."

Master Wang and Master Yu fell silent, exchanged a glance, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Well then, Ye Feng, be careful." In the end, Master Wang could only accept the situation helplessly, gave a word of advice, and then left with Master Yu.

After everyone left, Ye Feng took a deep breath and looked at Kyurem.

"Can we begin?" Kyurem asked, sitting up.

"Wait a moment." Ye Feng raised his hand to signal that everyone should be patient, then removed the scooping ring and sent a signal to Xiao Hupa.

Little Hoopa flew out with a cheer and plunged into Ye Feng's arms, followed closely by a dark figure—Darkrai.

"Hmm?" Kyurem's eyes narrowed as he carefully examined Hoopa before looking at the still-in-the-air Raikou Ring.

It sensed a peculiar aura emanating from that ring.

"Wow! That's Kyurem?!" Little Hoopa was startled when she saw the gray-blue figure and quickly hid behind Ye Feng.
