Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

I'll smash your face until it's crooked!

------------

Chapter 252 From today onwards, please call him Divine Beast Man!

Is this crystal lamp spirit powerful?

Without a doubt, it is terrifyingly powerful; even the events that are happening in Chongqing today are enough to be recorded in future history textbooks.

The fact that this is the first known creature to break through racial limitations and rival the strength of a legendary Pokémon is enough.

What's more, at the critical moment, the divine beast Thundercloud appeared, and... the man riding on the dragon's back, Xia Shen!

Is this the first person in history to successfully tame a mythical beast?

Of course, apart from Xia Shen, no one knows whether or not they have been subdued.

But in any case, the fact that he fought alongside a mythical beast was enough to make this day and this person a legend!

However, what people also didn't know was that this lightning cloud was merely an appetizer...

…………

Beneath the dark clouds, Xia Shen rode on a thundercloud, facing off coldly against the legion led by the giant crystal lamp spirit.

It is formed by the convergence of nearly a hundred crystal lamps, resembling a sea of ​​burning purple fire.

The thundercloud, however, stood alone, like an overconfident ant attempting to shake a great tree.

The two differ greatly in both size and number.

The tens of millions of viewers who watched the live stream before Yan Jing and his group were on the ground... no, the number of viewers watching in real time is now estimated to have exceeded 100 million, and they couldn't help but feel worried for Xia Shen.

Although Thundercloud is a mythical beast, this Chandelure Spirit is equally terrifying in strength.

While the dozens of thunderbolts that appeared when the lightning cloud appeared were indeed imposing, they were only barely on par with the Shadow Sphere Purgatory.

That Chandelure has so many equally powerful minions behind it, can Thundurus, a single Pokémon, handle it?

Yan Jing, Yan Yu, and two other masters flew up on flying spirits, seemingly wanting to share some of Xia Shen's burden.

However, in aerial combat of this level, they don't have many Flying-type Pokémon, so they're not very useful.

With a formidable enemy at hand, Xia Shen didn't have time to explain too much to them and could only persuade them to retreat first.

"You guys take them and leave; I'll take care of things here."

When the fight actually starts, Xia Shen might not be able to care about so much. He's afraid that if he pushes it too far, it might use some kind of Star Absorbing Technique.

Given the chandelier spirit's nature of not even sparing its own people, it's quite possible that it's capable of doing such a thing.

As he spoke, Xia Shen pulled out three Poké Balls from somewhere and waved them at Yan Jing and the others.

"Believe me."

The three words "plain and simple" possess an irresistible magic.

Yan Jing and the others nodded and flew back to lead the hastily assembled guard team in retreat.

With his worries gone, Xia Shen turned around and began to seriously deal with the intruder from another world.

Perhaps because the first three Shadow Balls had consumed too much energy, Chandelure did not rush to attack. Instead, it used the flames above its head to envelop the Chandelure beside it.

In an instant, several low-level minions, at least at the high-ranking professional level, perished on the spot, while the Crystal Chandelier Spirit's aura rose to an even higher level.

At the same time, its flames kept changing shape, as if conveying some kind of message.

Accompanied by a strange sound wave, the crystal chandelier spirits that had been staying beside it swarmed out and scattered in all directions.

In the Seven Luminaries Mountain, at the University of Fog City, and even in the main urban area of ​​Fog City... countless fresh souls await its harvest.

Xia Shen sneered. He hadn't expected this guy to have some intelligence, knowing that this wasn't the spirit world and didn't have that almost inexhaustible energy.

But... I'll grant your wish?

He threw out three Poké Balls, and three white lights flashed, revealing three small Pokémon—one red, one yellow, and one blue—that floated in the air.

In an instant, everyone in front of the live stream, whether they were beginners or complete novices, was captivated.

Even the Champions, who rushed to the scene in their Flying-type Pokémon and were still concerned about the situation, couldn't help but hold their breath, and many of them couldn't help but swear.

These three creatures are very familiar to the Chinese people.

It is none other than the legendary spirit from the East Sea Secret Realm, the Three Saints Lonely, who is as famous as the Two Gods of Time and Space!

Empyrean, Uxie, Azelf!

…………

As three legendary spirits who supposedly dominate the spiritual world, the Three Saints are just as prestigious in this world as the Twin Gods of Time and Space plus Hades Dragon.

Furthermore, since they are legendary spirits from the native East Sea Secret Realm, their status is even higher.

And this Pokémon with such special significance actually came out of Xia Shen's Poké Ball?

The appearance of the Thunder Cloud just now could be explained by some reason, such as Xia Shen and the Thunder Cloud reaching some kind of alliance.

But now... everyone has witnessed the Three Saints emerge from Xia Shen's Poké Ball!

In other words, Yukeshi and the others have accepted Xia Shen and become his spirits?

Even movies wouldn't dare to film a scene like this!

Indeed, reality is sometimes more surreal than the movies...

Xia Shen, who had been missing for a month, actually brought back four mythical beasts!

This guy is seriously... a real mythical beast!

Before people could recover from the shock, a great battle had already begun in the sky.

The three holy warriors split into three groups and carried out the task of clearing out the minions.

Xia Shen and Lei Dianyun then faced off against the Crystal Lamp Spirit leader in front of them.

He didn't expect to be able to do anything to it just by dealing with the thunderclouds; his main goal was to stall.

Once Kexi and the others have finished cleaning up the battlefield, it will be the end for the Chandelier Spirits!

"Thunderclouds, electromagnetic waves."

As a temporary trainer, Xia Shen naturally had to play a role.

Lei Dianyun glanced back at him indifferently, looking somewhat displeased, but ultimately didn't say anything and accepted the command.

This Thundurus's ability is Prankster, which allows it to use status moves more quickly.

In an instant, an electric ball flew out, and then stretched out in the air into a bright yellow electric net that flashed with lightning, covering the Crystal Chandelier Spirit.

"Didn't you say you'd use electromagnetic waves? Why are you using an electric grid?"

Although Thundurus wasn't his own Pokémon, Xia Shen couldn't help but complain a little.

[This is Lao Tzu's electromagnetic wave.]

Thundercloud replied disdainfully via telepathy, mocking the country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

Xia Shen coughed awkwardly twice. Whose electromagnetic waves are like yours, almost like an electric grid...?

…………

The chandelier spirit indeed fell into a state of paralysis.

However, it's not actually that crucial for it.

The stronger the Pokémon, the greater its resistance to this type of move.

Like Suicune being caught in a net in the anime... Ho-Oh would probably be furious if he knew.

So I resurrected something as worthless as you?

Xia Shen didn't know how it was set up in the anime, but in this world, when the strength of the Pokémon differed too much, the effects of many status moves would be greatly reduced.

In theory, a Pokémon of Chandelure's level is basically immune to these moves from professional-level Pokémon.

However, the Thundercloud is, after all, a divine beast of the same level. Although the paralyzing effect of the electromagnetic waves was slightly weaker, it still had an effect.

The Crystal Lamp Spirit seemed to have bad luck after leaving the spirit world; its next attack, which it had been charging up, failed to be released due to paralysis.

The thundercloud showed no mercy. It raised its head and let out a long howl. In an instant, a silvery-white bolt of lightning struck down from the dark cloud above its head.

Although its impact wasn't as grand as the dozens of thunderbolts that accompanied his entrance, its power was in no way inferior.

Those lightning bolts were merely a means to protect Yan Jing and the others, preventing the Shadow Sphere from causing harm.

The lightning bolt that could almost completely engulf the enormous chandelier spirit was the true power of the lightning cloud.

A torrent of lightning, seemingly capable of piercing through everything, swept across the heavens and earth, striking directly into the body of the Crystal Lamp Spirit.

Without the protection of abundant ghostly energy and soul power in the spirit world, the Crystal Chandelier Spirit's abilities are far inferior to what they used to be.

Especially the recovery speed.

Previously in the Spirit Realm, the damage caused by the combined efforts of the Three Saints and Thunder Cloud was completely restored in just a few breaths.

Now, it is no different from an ordinary level two god.

But perhaps he had become muddled after sleeping for a thousand years, or perhaps he had become too arrogant, the Crystal Lamp Spirit itself was clearly unaware of this.

He angrily emitted a strange sound wave, and the souls of several crystal lamplight spirits that had just been killed by the Three Saints drifted over and became his nourishment.

The charred black wounds on his body, which had just been inflicted by the lightning, had also healed completely.

…………

Xia Shen sneered inwardly; he had anticipated this situation.

If we compare the Crystal Chandelier Fire Spirit Leader to a car, then the power of the soul is undoubtedly the fuel for that car.

In the spirit world, it's practically an oil field, where the power of the soul is almost inexhaustible, making the Crystal Lamp Spirit an invincible existence.

But things aren't so good in the real world.

He can only heal his injuries or increase his strength by consuming the souls of recently deceased creatures.

Now that Yan Jing and the others have left, the Crystal Lamp Spirit's only remaining targets are the Thundercloud, the Three Saints, and... its own companions.
