Elf: Start your slow-paced life after becoming a farmer

At this moment, the two Pokémon beside Karl, Winged and Espeon, one big and one small, remained on high alert after hearing that they were about to face a legendary Pokémon.

After all, the team that Kael currently has is not at its full strength. The two Pokémon, Ursaring and Gengar, are almost no match for Legendary Pokémon.

"They're here!" Shaka's reminder reached Karl's ears through the whirlwind that swept past.

In fact, without Shaka's reminder, Karl noticed Kyurem's presence the moment its massive gray-blue body emerged from the clouds.

The moment Kyurem appeared in everyone's sight, the oppressive feeling unique to legendary Pokémon washed over them. It just floated there quietly, giving Karl the illusion of being in a snowstorm.

Even the fire-breathing dragon beneath Karl froze for a moment when it sensed Kyurem's aura.

“Kyurem…” Shaka’s eyes flashed with a hint of fervor. “The mere shed shell of the ‘Primordial Dragon’ has such a terrifying aura. I can’t imagine what the ‘Primordial Dragon’ must be like.”

“Since they are legendary Pokémon, then we can only communicate with them by battling them and gaining their approval, right?” Alder recalled the two Pokémon he had encountered in a certain shrine, took a Poké Ball from his neck and threw it.

The legendary battle begins here.

Chapter 157 Fighting Kyurem (4k)

Just one minute before the battle began, Kyurem had already sensed the aura that made it instinctively "stir".

However, when Kyurem realized that the owner of that aura was actually a human, Kyurem's feelings were complicated.

As the shell left behind by the "First Dragon", Kyurem has extremely complex senses regarding human senses.

Firstly, the reason it was separated from the "First Dragon" was because the two brothers had different ideologies.

If it weren't for those two humans, it might still be the "first dragon".

As the shed "shell" of the "First Dragon," Kyurem still retains the "First Dragon's" complex feelings towards humanity.

Perhaps the purpose of the "First Dragon" leaving it behind was to wait for a "hero" who could fill it back in with both "reality" and "idealism".

With these complex emotions in mind, Kyurem decided to test the "hero" who had stirred its "heartbeat".

As for the other two humans?

In the Kyurem's view, it is only natural for a "hero" to have "slaves".

As Alder threw the Poké Ball, a large moth-like Pokémon appeared in the air, its upper body covered in white fur, with four small legs and three pairs of orange-red wings on its back.

This Pokémon is none other than Volcarona, the Pokémon that Alderman is famous for.

Volcarona, the Sun Pokémon, was revered as a symbol of the sun by the local people in some ancient, cold regions because of its fiery body. In some murals unearthed today, it is depicted as the god of fire.

Volcarona boasts a Special Attack base stat of 135, comparable to Wingstrike, and with Quiver Dance, a status move that boosts Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed, it possesses both high attack power and decent bulk.

Of course, the Pokémon that Alder sent out was not his original partner. Karl guessed that this Volcarona was probably a descendant of his original partner.

To be honest, Karl also really likes the Volcarona Pokémon. Unfortunately, in the real world, Volcarona is even rarer than most pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Before today, he had never seen any trainer own Volcarona.

Suppressing his thoughts, Karl focused his attention: "Seirei, use Reflect and Light Wall, Wing Flare, use Calm Mind, Charizard, use Sunny Day!"

Due to his travel experience in the Kanto region, Karl is quite skilled at multi-line command. This time, he is facing a genuine legendary Pokémon, not a "baby" like Mewtwo that has just been born. He must be on his toes.

With Karl giving the order, the three Pokémon immediately set to action.

After hearing Karl's instructions, Alder and Shaka nodded in agreement and then began to command their own Pokémon.

As the day progressed into a clear, sunny day, the concentration of fire elemental energy in the air rose sharply. Although Kyurem felt slightly uncomfortable, it did not dispel the weather.

Having spent so many years in the dark and sunless cave, Kyurem doesn't mind being in the sun. Besides, this level of sunshine wouldn't affect its attacks at all.

Kyurem slightly flapped its wings, and a dense surge of ice-elemental energy erupted from its body, transforming into a blanket of cold air that blew towards the three of them.

Karl and the other two were all very experienced trainers. They recognized at a glance that Kyurem's move was an Ice-type special attack move called "Frozen Wind".

Unlike the icy winds that the three were familiar with, this move, in Kyurem's hands, produced an effect comparable to the powerful ice-attribute move, Blizzard.

"Vulcano, heat wind!"

As Alder's command rang out, the Volcarona hovering in front of him immediately flapped its wings, and with the blessing of the bright sunshine, the hot wind, hot enough to distort the air, blew straight toward the freezing wind released by Kyurem.

Although theoretically fire element counters ice element, except for dragons and fairies, and generally ghosts which are completely immune to fire, elemental counters only apply when the strength of the two sides in battle is similar.

While the Volcarona sent by Alder was quite powerful, it was not Alder's original partner after all. The hot wind it released could only barely offset the freezing wind that Kyurem casually released, and that was under the blessing of a sunny day.

Fortunately, Karl never placed his hopes on the champion who had lost his initial partner. The moment the hot wind countered the freezing wind, the radiance of attribute enhancement emerged from the surface of the flapping wings.

"Roar! (I'm going in!)" The Winged One's blood-red eyes were fixed on the Kyurem not far away, its eyes filled with undisguised ferocity.

In Zhenyifa's view, the "big guy" in front of him was the "prey" worth hunting.

"Go! Wingscramble!" Karl shouted.

Upon hearing Karl's words, Zhenyifa used its stealth attack to disappear from the spot.

The next moment, the figure of the Winged One appeared to the side and behind Kyurem, and the dense fairy energy in its mouth had been gathered and sprayed straight towards Kyurem.

However, Winged's surprise attack failed to work. Kyurem flapped its broken wings and dodged the lunar power released by Winged with an agility that was not commensurate with its huge body. Then it swung its huge tail at Winged.

Facing the roaring giant tail, Vibrating Wing once again activated its Stealth Strike and disappeared from the spot. With Ancient Activation activated, Vibrating Wing possesses a reaction speed far exceeding that of most Pokémon.

After dodging Kyurem's strike, Winged Blade reappeared in Kyurem's blind spot. This time, instead of using the narrow-range Moon Power, it used Magic Flash, which could cover Kyurem from all angles.

Seeing this, pale blue Flying-type energy emerged from Kyurem's body. The next moment, the entire Pokémon shot vertically upwards, drilling a circular hole in the clouds. Then it burst out from the other side of the clouds, heading straight towards the location of Wingfire.

Seeing this, dozens or even hundreds of shadow orbs formed from ghostly energy appeared around Zhenyifa and shot towards Kyurem.

Kyurem neither dodged nor evaded, charging headlong into the barrage of Shadow Orbs toward the direction of the Winged Strike.

The shadow orbs struck Kyurem's tough body, leaving only dark spots and causing no real damage.

In the blink of an eye, Kyurem arrived in front of the wings, and the cold aura emanating from its body instantly swelled up and engulfed Su Chu Gang's body.

This time, Zhenyifa did not use the Spirit Strike to escape. Instead, it released fire energy to cover its body, temporarily keeping the cold air out, and then spat a scorching line of fire at Kyurem.

Unfortunately, Kyurem, being of the Ice/Dragon attribute, is not weak to fire, and given the presence of the powerful magic flames, this magical fire from the monster did not cause any damage to Kyurem.

Seeing that his attack had failed, Zhenyifa decisively used the Phantom Strike and disappeared from the spot, giving Kyurem no chance to retaliate.

The battles between Zhenyifa and Kyurem have been extremely fast in recent rounds, and there has been no opportunity for Shaka and Adek to intervene.

"So strong."

This is the shared sentiment of Shaka and Alder. Even when facing legendary Pokémon, Kael, a Misdreavus that seems to be of a certain regional form, is still able to handle it with ease.

Even though it didn't cause any effective damage to Kyurem, it's important to remember that Kark, the trainer, hadn't even started directing it yet.

Seeing that his sister had finished warming up, Karl, riding on the back of the fire-breathing dragon, decided to start giving instructions.

Karl was well aware that, based on Kyurem's current performance, it was still far from reaching the level of a "third god" in terms of both basic attributes and combat performance.

This may be because Kyurem has just been born and has not fully recovered, but this also gives Karl the possibility of defeating his opponent.

“Winged Hair, come back!” Karl called out to Winged Hair.

Although Zhenyifa didn't know why its trainer had called it back, it trusted him and used its Spirit Strike to return to Karl's side.

Upon seeing Zhenyi return to his side, Karl did not hesitate to take out the Taijing Bead and throw it at it.

The translucent crystal bead began to emit a dazzling light the moment it reached the top of Zhenyifa's head, and the rich crystal energy condensed into a crystal shell like a jewel on Zhenyifa's body.

The moment the concentration of the crystal energy reached its peak, the winged creature enveloped in the crystal energy let out a long roar. The next second, the crystal shell suddenly exploded and gathered on the top of the winged creature's head, condensing into the crystal crown that represents the fairy attribute.

"Is this the terrecticization of the Parthian region?"

Shaka, who was invited by Sylvanas to participate in the exchange competition, naturally knew that the purpose of this exchange competition was to introduce the unique crystallization system of the Padia region to Blueberry Academy. However, Shaka had not yet seen the scene of Pokémon crystallizing.

Adek then asked, "What's going on?"

“This is an enhancement system similar to Mega Evolution,” Karl casually explained, then called out to Vibrating Wing, “Come on, Vibrating Wing, listen to my commands now.”

"Hoo! (Okay!)"

Although this is not the first time Zhenyi has used tert-crystallization, it is the first time it has used tert-crystallization to face a powerful enemy.

Feeling the surging power within his body, Zhenyi believed that he might be able to defeat this "big guy" in front of him even faster.

"Use Ghost Strike to dash onto Kyurem's head, then use Strange Light!"

The moment Karl finished speaking, Winged Strike appeared above Kyurem's head, unleashing the strange light that had been prepared long ago.

Perhaps realizing that the strange light could not harm him, Kyurem did not dodge. Instead, when it released the strange light with the flapping of its wings, it spat out the cannon that had been stored in its mouth.

"Winged Wing, use Shadow Ball to counterattack. Solari, use Helping Shot on Winged Wing," Karl commanded again.

Meanwhile, Shaka and Alder, having regained their senses, began directing their Pokémon to attack Kyurem.

The melee has begun.

Although all three of them, Karl and the others, were powerful trainers, in reality, only Karl's Wing Blow was able to inflict effective damage on Kyurem in this battle.

Although Dragon-type effects are strong against Dragon-type Pokémon, Kyurem, being at the pinnacle of Dragon-type Pokémon, caused all of Shaka's Pokémon to fall one by one in the face of its terrifying oppressive power and destructive force.

As for Alder, he didn't participate in the battle much. Instead, under the cover of Karl and Shaka, he allowed the Volcanoes to be covered in Butterfly Dance.

"Make all your Pokémon step back!"

After the Vulcan moths had swarmed and danced with butterflies, Adecker shouted loudly at Karl and Shaka.

Karl and Shaka immediately understood and each sent their Pokémon away temporarily.

After seeing his teammate's Pokémon leave the field, Alder looked at Kyurem, who was staring at the three of them from not far away, and shouted with a long-lost passion: "Vulcano, use Overheat at full power, and let your brilliance shine!"

At Aldak's command, Volcarona's body began to emanate a dense fire energy. This energy seemed inexhaustible, and within a few breaths, the air within a hundred meters of it gradually distorted due to the high temperature.

The three pairs of orange-red wings on its back now emitted a crimson light, a phenomenon that only those with energy overload possess.

Kyurem seemed to sense the immense power of the attack Volcarona was about to unleash, so it also mobilized its ice-type energy, preparing to release its signature move, Frozen World.

Although in the game, Frozen World is just an Ice-type special attack move with a base power of 65, it can be said to be the least impressive among most exclusive moves.

However, in the game's storyline, Kyurem, under manipulation, used the Frozen World to freeze most of the Unicron region.

Therefore, it can be said that the frozen world is incredibly realistic.

Looking at the ice energy constantly emanating from Kyurem, Karl was certain that the move Kyurem was about to unleash would definitely not be the same as most ice-type moves on the market.

After all, most ice-type moves have very short wind-up animations. Considering the opponent's identity, Karl realized that Kyurem was probably about to unleash its signature move, Frozen World.

The thought of how the Frozen World would behave in the game's storyline made Karl uneasy. If Kyurem were to release the Frozen World here, it would most likely affect Blueberry Academy.

At this time, Karl was unaware that Kyurem's purpose in fighting them was merely to test whether he could become its "hero." Therefore, Kyurem would not allow the frozen world to affect the surrounding natural environment.

"Wings of Fury! Use Crystal Burst at full power to interrupt Kyurem!" Karl commanded rapidly.

"What?!" Shaka was stunned by Karl's command. He thought that even Kyurem, a legendary Pokémon, might not be able to withstand the overheating after six Quiver Dances, let alone Wingfire.

Upon hearing Karl's command, Zhenyifa unhesitatingly used the Spirit Strike to reach Kyurem's side, unleashing the full power of his inner energy to release the Crystal Burst.

A second before Volcarona released its overheating power, a pink glow representing the burst of crystalline light shone around Kyurem, successfully interrupting Kyurem's release of the Frozen World.

The next second, Volcarona unleashed its superheat, its strongest attack, endless light and heat, engulfing Kyurem and Winged Wing.

Chapter 158 Return to Perfection

After releasing its overheat, Volcarona, which had been floating in the air, lost its momentum and plummeted straight into the ocean below.

Seeing this, Alder immediately took out a Poké Ball to recall Volcarona, then looked at Karl riding on the back of Charizard with a worried expression.

Even though Volcarona's Overheat attack was aimed at Kyurem, the overheat from Butterfly Dance still had tremendous power even in its aftershocks.

Due to the dense fog formed by the collision of the fire energy represented by overheating and the ice energy surrounding Kyurem, none of the three could see the specific situation of Kyurem and Winged Hair.

Seeing this, Karl ordered in a deep voice, "Fire Dragon, use Hurricane to blow away the fog."

The Charizard beneath Karl immediately flapped its wings, and guided by Flying-type energy, a gust of wind blew towards Kyurem's location.

As the thick fog was blown away by the storm, Kyurem's enormous body reappeared in everyone's sight.

Although Kyurem appears to remain unchanged on the outside, its listless aura is enough to prove that the overheating effect of being covered in butterfly dances and under a bright sunny day is indeed quite powerful.

Even Kyurem, the legendary Pokémon of the Unova region, suffered considerable damage from this attack.

However, the sharp-eyed Karl noticed that Kyurem, for some reason, was holding Winged Hair tightly in his arms, and Winged Hair did not seem to have suffered much damage.

Shaka and Adek noticed this as well, and they both subconsciously looked at Karl, their faces showing a hesitant expression.

What exactly is going on?

"Huh? I'm not hurt?" It opened its eyes, which had been almost blinded by Volcarona's light, and felt no harm from being protected in Kyurem's arms.

Immediately afterwards, Zhenyi realized that he seemed to be protected in the arms of that "big guy".

'Huh? What's going on? Aren't we opponents?' Zhenyifa didn't know why Kyurem had protected it just now.

The winged creature was perfectly aware that even though the Volcano Moth's target was this "big guy" next to it, it would not be in a good state even if it did not lose its fighting ability on the spot.
