Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

Italy, the Este family.

This is an extremely large manor!

It's even bigger than Shen Yuzhi's manor!

When Chi Hong thought of Shen Yuzhi, the image of Shen Yuzhi's tragic state immediately came to mind; his corpse was still inside the secret realm crystal.

"Damn bastard!"

"Forbidden God...wait until I find you..."

Chi Hong's expression instantly turned gloomy, his breathing became erratic, and a cold sensation emanated from him, causing Sophia to shiver involuntarily.

"Mr. Chi Hong... what... what's wrong?" Sophia asked anxiously.

She always believed that Chi Hong suffered from bipolar disorder, and that his episodes were terrifying!

Perhaps only the morning glow could stop him...

"It's nothing, don't worry about it. I was just thinking about something that made me unhappy," Chi Hong replied coldly.

After Lukel led Chi Hong and Sophia through one access door after another, they found themselves on a path leading to the basement.

This staircase goes deep underground!

And there is no elevator installed, just a regular staircase made of floor slabs.

There weren't even any tiles on the walls; you could see the bare bricks.

Clearly, this outwardly luxurious estate has been renovated and decorated generation after generation, while the basement has never been renovated.

"The most precious [item] of the Esther family is inside. We won't go in; you can go in and get it yourself."

"If you can get it."

Luke looked at Chi Hong and said something that gave Chi Hong a sense of déjà vu, like Sun Wukong and the Dragon King of the East Sea.

"Oh, that divine iron... if you can lift it, I'll give it to you~~~"

"There's nothing in this world that I, Chi Hong, want but can't have." Chi Hong glanced calmly at Lukel, then pushed open the old-looking door.

It was pitch black inside, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

It seemed as if the door separated the two spaces, and the dim light from outside could not penetrate into the room.

Chi Hong took two steps inside, and the door slammed shut with a bang. Chi Hong glanced back slightly, showing no sign of panic.

next second...

Boom~~~~

Suddenly, a blinding light shone from all around. It was too dark here, and the sudden light made Chi Hong instinctively close his eyes. He slowly opened his eyes and, after adjusting to the light, discovered that he was actually in a very spacious hall!

The main hall was resplendent with gold!

There were more than a dozen skeletons lying on the ground.

"This must be the ancestral tomb of the Ester family, right?" Chi Hong speculated, frowning.

Outside.

Luker narrowed his eyes slightly, a smug smile appearing on his face.

"Father, this..."

"Is there something I don't know?"

Sofia knew her father all too well!

She knew her father too well; he lacked grand ambitions but was full of schemes and petty tricks!

"In that case, this powerful figure from China will truly become a member of my Esther family."

Lukel turned around, a smile of excitement spreading across her face!

"What do you mean?" Sophia's eyes widened, and she said urgently, "Father, please don't act rashly!"

"Chi Hong is extremely dangerous. I suspect he's already a legendary-level beast tamer, and might even have surpassed that level!"

"Your methods are useless against him. Once he gets angry, what can the Esther family do to withstand his wrath?!"

"What do you know?" Lucar glared at Sofia and roared, startling her so much that she took several steps back.

She was afraid of being beaten.

Earlier at the banquet hall, he wanted to hit himself, but Chi Hong thought he was going to hit him instead, so he slapped Lao Deng until he was dazed...

"That's the Staff of Asclepius..."

"It contains a life force that humans simply cannot withstand!"

"Regardless of the beast tamer's level, anyone who touches it will be instantly overwhelmed by its immense life force!"

"His consciousness, his thoughts, and his mental strength..."

"They will all be washed away by the immense life force and become as blank as a sheet of paper!"

"What remains is only the body of a powerful beast tamer, brimming with life!"

"Supplying to my trend..."

Rugal's eyes revealed madness!

What utter bullshit about America's safety, what ancestral agreement, what alliance!

What does this have to do with Rugal and Esther?

All he knew was that he would soon have a very obedient "son-in-law"...

Sophia's heart was pounding. She slowly backed away, took out her phone to contact Chaoxia, whom she considered a powerful beast tamer on par with Chi Hong!

She has to inform Asaka!

Otherwise... I and Asaka might become mortal enemies...

This is something Sofia absolutely refuses to accept!

"What are you doing?" Lukel turned around and strode towards his daughter...

Inside the main hall, Chi Hong walked forward calmly. Directly in front of him was a stone platform with a wooden staff stuck in it. A lifelike snake was coiled on the staff.

He recognized it; it was a symbol of medicine, the snake emblem.

Chi Hong walked closer and took a look. The snake was so lifelike that it seemed to be looking at him as well.

"Give it to me!"

Without any hesitation, Chi Hong reached out and grabbed the snake staff. In an instant, an extremely powerful life force surged into Chi Hong's body like a tidal wave!

Within seconds, Chi Hong discovered that his vitality and mental strength had increased to an unimaginable level!

but....

He found he couldn't let go!

The surging life force continued to pour forcefully into his body!

"Oh no..."

Chi Hong frowned and immediately realized something was wrong. As the saying goes, things reach their extremes and then reverse. Such a powerful life force was rampaging through his current "mortal" body as if it were free.

Who knows what might happen?

However, Chi Hong only pondered for less than three seconds before grabbing the snake staff with his other hand. He jumped onto the stone platform and pulled upwards with all his might!

"Good heavens! Something's fishy!"

"Watch me destroy this whole place!"

Mini Groudon appeared, waving its claws and shouting.

"Don't rush, let me see what's going on!" Chi Hong glanced back at Mini Groudon, indicating that there was no need to worry.

He had barely finished speaking when a sharp pain shot through his head!

A red and white figure, with its wings spread out in the shape of a Y, gradually appeared behind him.

"Oh~"

"Chi Hong is being force-fed, while Ipeltar is inhaling, right?"

"Reasonable!"

Mini Groudon nodded its head, its clever brain instantly deducing this conclusion!

But the next instant, iridescent antlers suddenly appeared, and one of them headbutted Yveltal, obliterating him...

Chi Hong even heard Yveltal exclaim "Holy crap!"

He sighed inwardly, lamenting that he had corrupted Pokémon... Even the God of Death exclaimed "Holy crap!"

"I'll bless you!"

"The more vitality, the better!"

"The more the better!!"

Xerneas's voice sounded like that of a pampered young lady, full of energy, youthful vigor, and... vitality!

The phantom of a multicolored deer gradually solidified and enlarged, completely enveloping Chi Hong within the aura of the god of life.
