Chapter 172 Doronbaruto

Ring ring—

The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the vast laboratory.

The extremely dense ghost-type energy continuously overflowed from the laboratory, and was completely absorbed by the twin sword sheaths, which brought them considerable benefits.

As the black mist gradually thinned, the scene inside gradually came into Xia Yan's view.

The first thing that catches the eye is two huge, thick iron chains that disappear into the interior of the wall, their destination unknown.

At the other end of the chain, an elf was bound.

It was precisely because he saw this elf that Xia Yan acted so out of control.

Its triangular head resembles a stealth fighter jet, with four holes on its head, two large and two small, and two flat, narrow yellow eyes. It has a small body with two claws and two feet. Its upper body is bluish-black, and its lower body is light blue, with a color gradient in the middle of its body. It also has a long, curled tail, and the color becomes darker closer to the end of the tail until it is completely transparent.

Suspended in the air, it was bound by two iron chains to its neck and tail, restricting its movement to a small area.

As the appearance of this elf is revealed, its name becomes obvious.

Dorombalutto!

Pseudo-legendary Pokémon from the Galar region!

The Dragon and Ghost type combination is unique in the entire Pokémon world, except for Gladiolus Rider and Radina. The only other Pokémon with this combination is Dragapult.

Therefore, Dragapult, as a pure Giratina, also has a resounding nickname, "Little Giratina". In fact, due to its good resistances, base stat distribution, and the moves it can master, there is a saying that describes it: "You only need one Dragapult to battle".

This shows just how powerful it is.

Xia Yan was extremely familiar with Doronbalut.

It has consistently ranked among the top three most popular Pokémon battle games, and it can be said that it was a Pokémon that he used to really like.

Oh, and one more thing to mention, Dorombalto can fly.

Furthermore, its flight speed is not slow at all; when it takes off, it's like a sharp arrow, as evidenced by its base speed stat of 142.

however.

Seeing Dorombalut here, he felt no joy whatsoever; instead, he sank deeply into despair.

Dragapult, a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, possesses the bloodline of a Dragon-type Pokémon and the abilities of a Ghost-type Pokémon, which grants it an exceptionally long lifespan.

Unlike other laboratories, this laboratory is filled with dense ghost-type energy, which has not shown any signs of thinning even after so long.

This means that Dorambaruto has survived from ancient times to the present thanks to these energies!

A fully evolved pseudo-legendary Pokémon, with such abundant energy replenishment, even if its personality is as lazy as a pig, its current strength should be so terrifying that Xia Yan would not dare to provoke it.

The only thing I'm somewhat fortunate about.

This Dorambaruto was bound by two chains of unknown material.

Having been unable to leave this laboratory for so long, it's unlikely they'll be able to break free anytime soon.

But Xia Yan still didn't dare to get too close.

After all, Dragapult also has ranged moves. If it gets annoyed with Xia Yan, it could unleash a powerful attack that even Beedrill and the others combined might not be able to withstand.

that's it.

Xia Yan stopped at the doorway.

Inside, Draco squinted and quietly watched Xia Yan and the group of Pokémon who had suddenly appeared.

Both sides tacitly remained silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Dorombalto spoke first.

"Baruya—"

His voice was deep and slightly hoarse.

They didn't show much hostility, but were rather curious about Xia Yan and the elves who were there.

Sensing Dorombalto's attitude, Xia Yan felt half relieved.

He was genuinely afraid that this Dragon Baruto, having suffered inhuman abuse at the hands of the ancients, harbored immense hostility towards humans and would frequently launch a "dragon arrow" or a "meteor shower" at the first sign of trouble.

Xia Yan didn't know whether Snorlax could withstand the attack if he summoned it.

With the word "dragon arrow" in mind, Xia Yan looked at the head of Dorambaruto, but did not see Doromesia in the hole on its head.

"Dragon Arrow" is a Dragon-type move, and it is the only move that Dragapult can use in the entire Pokémon world. The specific method is to launch the two Dragapults living in the hollow of its head at supersonic speeds, which has extremely strong destructive power.

After being launched, Dorromesia will enter stealth mode and return to the hole in Dorombalut's head.

Doromecia, who lives inside Dorombalut's head, almost constantly hopes to be launched.

Draco Messia is the original form of Draco Balto, a pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

In other words, to unleash the "Dragon Arrow" move, you need at least three pseudo-legendary Pokémon, which is extremely extravagant.

At this moment, the Dorombalto in front of Xia Yan did not have Dorombecia in its head.

This shows that it endured all those long years alone, and the loneliness and solitude it experienced can be imagined.

Dragapult is a special Pokémon; it's somewhat like Kangaskhan because it takes its young Pokémon with it to better care for them.

Because they were in the Doronmesian era, their fighting ability was extremely weak, or even non-existent. They might not even be able to defeat a small child, which shows how fragile they were.

That's why they need Draco and the others to protect them.

The hole in Dorombalut's head could house two Dorombesia.

Draco, the evolved form of Dracomecia and the previous stage of Dracobalut, also has a Dracomecia living on its head. If Draco doesn't have a Dracomecia on its head, it will become very anxious and emotionally unstable, and may even try to find another Pokémon to replace it.

So, despite Dragapult being a Dragon and Ghost type Pokémon, they are actually the complete opposite of Giratina, and are a very loving species.

Of course, this is all under normal circumstances. Xia Yan is not very clear about the actual situation of the Dragon Balto in front of him, so he must be cautious.

just.

His caution does not mean that all elves are cautious.

He swaggered over to Dorombalut.

There's no need to guess who it is.

It was undoubtedly the "social butterfly" Pokkiku.

However, when he saw Pokkigu approaching him, Xia Yan not only did not stop him, but also breathed a sigh of relief.

Togekiss is most sensitive to humans and Pokémon. If it senses that the other party is unreliable or hostile, it will be the first to stop.

Since it had previously shed tears because of the sad atmosphere permeating the laboratory, it now actively approached Dorambaruto, which means that it felt that Dorambaruto was truly not hostile.

Trusting Pokkigu, Xia Yan hesitated for a moment before walking into the room.

Upon entering and scanning the entire room, he suddenly understood the true purpose of this ancient research institute and why it had been so ruthless towards so many elves.

With a somewhat complicated expression, he looked at Dralongato, who was slowly landing on the ground and looking down at Togekiss as it approached.

He sighed silently to himself.

Chapter 173 You Can Always Trust the Energy Cube

“It’s just right.”

Pokkigu called out softly, his eyes filled with pity.

“Baruya…”

Lying on the ground, Dragapult was several times larger than Togekiss; its head alone was larger than Togekiss's.

Adult Dorombalut will grow to three meters in size.

The Dragapult in front of them, whose age was unknown, was even larger, exceeding four meters in length, making it a behemoth among Pokémon.

“Chocolate…”

Pokkigu raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly placed it on Dorambaruto's head.

Dorombalut didn't resist at all; instead, it nuzzled against it affectionately, seemingly quite fond of it.

Xia Yan entered the largest research room and looked around the entire stone chamber.

The walls are dull and monotonous; although the space is large, almost all the colors are the same.

It's hard to imagine that if a person lived in such a confined space, let alone for hundreds or thousands of years, even just for a month, they would go insane from the unbearable loneliness and solitude.

There are no entertainment facilities whatsoever, and no way to pass the time.

However, Xia Yan noticed some small holes in the surrounding walls.

The dense ghostly energy in the room was continuously supplied through these holes.

The entire purpose of this research institute was probably for this Dorobalto.

Perhaps it was just a Doron Mesia back then.

It's just that for some reason, the ancients left this place without taking it with them.

“It’s just right.”

When Xia Yan walked up to Pokkigu, it gently tugged at his trouser leg.

'Shall we help it?'

Pokkigu felt great sympathy for Dorombalto.

Back when it was in the dark underground tunnels of the ruins, it was so lonely and bored that it often played pranks and would occasionally cause trouble for the wild elves in the tunnels.

The adorable dragon Barut lives here with nothing, and can't even go too far away. You can imagine how boring and lonely its life must be.

It's important to know that Dragapult is a Pokémon that likes to live in groups, and it will always have at least two Dragapults with it.

This undoubtedly made it feel even more empty, as if something was missing from its body.

Dorambaruto followed Tokigu's gaze and landed on Xia Yan.
