Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

That's the thought that crossed my mind.

Xia Yan had only one thought about this group of ancient people.

Crazy!

They actually dared to have designs on Regidrago, and even went so far as to expend a lot of resources to forcibly increase the strength of Dragapult, a pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

It might also include some other dragon-type Pokémon.

It was extremely costly.

If they succeed, Regidorago's strength and abilities will likely rival, or even surpass, those of Regigigas, depending on whether the body he is given can perfectly fit him.

Unfortunately, all of this ended prematurely while it was still in the preparation stage.

Fortunately, Doron Baruto's mind is still that of a child.

Otherwise, if he knew that he was just a "tool" prepared for Reginald by the ancients, I wonder what he would think.

However, it seems that this Regidorago is sealed inside the Rhythmic Furnace and cannot leave.

Reginald Lago and Dorombalto's eyes met.

next second.

Boom!

Reginald Lago once again emitted a dull sound within the rhythmic furnace.

The light spots in its eyes flashed faster and faster, causing the dragon-type energy on Draco to fluctuate as well.

Xia Yan's expression changed.

boom!!!

Suddenly, a strong surge of dragon-type energy erupted from Draco, shoving Xia Yan away.

"Yongji!"

Yunjira used its superpowers to catch Xia Yan as he was thrown backward.

Xia Yan frowned. The impact hadn't caused him any harm, but Doronbalto's condition...

Then, the "Dragon Crystal" that Dralongbalto was holding had completely "melted" at some point, turning into a ball of dark red pure dragon energy.

Dorombalut's eyes also lost their original sparkle, becoming somewhat dull and confused.

Has he been taken over by Reginald?

It's not impossible.

If what he suspected was true, then Dramberto's dragon energy should be highly compatible with Regidorago's dragon energy!

The thought had just arisen in Xia Yan's mind.

Boom!

Sounds emanated from the rhythmic furnace once more.

Dralongbalut grabbed the dense ball of dragon energy and was about to smash it onto the Rhythmic Furnace.

It wants to break the seal!

Reginald Lago wants to use the power of Dralongbalut and the remaining Dragon Crystal to break the seal that encloses it in the Rhythmic Furnace.

The seal is very likely the lines engraved on the furnace that shimmer with the lava.

The Rhythmic Furnace combines the energy of magma. If its seal is successfully broken, the Rhythmic Furnace will lose its ability to restrain the magma.

When the magma starts to surge again, the dormant volcano will become active again in the blink of an eye.

However, this would mean that the elves who originally lived around this volcano would inevitably be attacked by terrifying lava, and apart from a very few who could survive, most of them would definitely die.

maybe.

This volcano may even affect the entire alternate dimension.

Faced with this situation, Xia Yan had no way to deal with it. Neither Dorombalto nor Regidorago were people he could contend with.

unless......

Regigigas came here.

"Dorambaruto!" All Xia Yan could do was shout it.

boom!!!

Huge "waves" surged from the magma, and the scorching lava swept towards his location.

All I saw was...

Dronbalut was panting heavily, holding the incubator in one hand and pure dragon energy in the other. Its hand, which was about to land on the Rhythmic Furnace, slowly rose from the lava.

Kadabra's psychic powers blocked the erosion of the lava, and through a few gaps, its gaze met that of Dralongaru.

Dorambaruto's once pure and innocent eyes were now filled with too many things.

Memories, reflections, struggles, anger, self-deprecation...

Then it nodded slightly to Xia Yan, and without hesitation, stuffed the pure dragon energy in one hand into the incubator in the other hand.

It wants to give all that energy to the unhatched dragon-type Pokémon egg!

What puzzled Xia Yan even more was why Dorombalto was able to break free from Reginald's restraints.

Why did Dramberto seem to grow up all at once, both mentally and in terms of ability, even though it was only a brief moment?

That look in his eyes was definitely not the same as the one Dorambaruto had before.

While he was pondering this, Dralongbaruto poured every last bit of the dragon-type energy transformed from the dragon crystal into the Pokémon egg.

Compared to this dragon-type energy, the dragon scales that Xia Yan used before seemed somewhat superfluous.

Chapter 181 The Glorious Zookeeper

The infusion of dragon-type energy went smoothly.

With almost no hindrance, Draco successfully injected all the Dragon-type energy transformed from the Dragon Crystal fragment into the Pokémon egg.

After all that was done, Reginald Lago inside the Rhythmic Furnace suddenly fell silent.

It seems that because they lost the Dragon Crystal as a medium, they gave up the idea of ​​breaking free from the seal.

It also seems to be due to Dorombalto's condition.

“Baruya…”

Dorombaluto called out softly to Reginald.

hum-

Faint, dark red ripples emanated from the furnace, and as they passed through Dorombalto, it slowly nodded.

After taking one last deep look at Reginald in the Rhythmic Furnace, Dralongbarto flicked its tail and came to stand in front of Xia Yan.

Those once pure, childlike eyes have disappeared.

Instead, they have deep, wise, and insightful eyes.

Xia Yan looked at it, and it silently looked back at Xia Yan.

Xia Yan gently pursed his lips, knowing that the current Dorambaruto was no longer the "it" it had been before.

Suddenly.

Without the help of Yunjira's psychic powers, Dralonga's voice echoed in Xia Yan's mind.

If we say...

If Dorambaruto's voice was that of a pure and beautiful young girl before, then her voice now is that of a mature and intellectual older sister.

“Regidorago showed me a lot of things,” Dorombalto said.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan was slightly taken aback.

He quickly came to some understanding.

Drombal's momentary lapse in concentration wasn't because he was controlled by Reidorago, but because Reidorago transmitted his memories to Drombal in his own way.

In a very short moment.

Having experienced a barrage of memories, Dralongato went through what felt like the entire life of a normal Pokémon, undergoing a transformation in its thinking and consciousness in an instant.

This was Xia Yan's guess, but he felt that only this explanation made sense.

This is the world of elves, not a fantasy world, otherwise Xia Yan would really suspect that Draco had been "possessed".

"You humans..." Dorombalto's voice rang out again.

Hearing these words, which sounded extremely complicated, Xia Yan looked helpless.

Judging from the experiences of Dorambaruto and Regidorago, given humanity's inherent flaws, perhaps humans are a race that shouldn't exist in this world.

But their experiences cannot represent everyone.

Xia Yan opened his mouth, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Dorombalut.

"Thank you for showing me another side of humanity."

Or, look up at Togekiss, Kadabra, Beedrill, and Scyther.

He lowered his head again and touched the elf egg in his hand with a complicated expression.

"They are happy to be with you."

The four Pokémon that had been swept by Dragapult slowly approached Xia Yan's side.

Xia Yan's complex expression gradually calmed down, and he stared straight at Doronbalut without any intention of dodging.

He said in a calm and slow tone, "You can too."

Dorombalto was taken aback.

Looking at Xia Yan's sincere face, and the four Pokémon beside him, especially Togekiss nodding its little head repeatedly.

He couldn't help but smile.
