Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

The clouds seemed to be dragged by invisible chains, and were dispersed by the heat wave as soon as they condensed a little.

One of the Haxorus suddenly curled up in pain, and a fine crack appeared on the surface of the orb...

Yulongdu struggled to stand up, taking a breath after each word. "The forest's ley lines... have been polluted by some force... Haxoron's... prayer for rain... has been severely suppressed..."

Hearing this, Li Chen looked down along Haxorus's trembling body and noticed the unnatural shadows on the ground.

Between the burning tree roots, dark purple lines were faintly wriggling, extending in all directions like blood vessels.

Whenever Haxoron's orb lights up, the patterns on it will emit strange reflections.

"Susu-"

Zygarde's small body leaped lightly from the satchel and landed on the ground.

The snow-white light pattern spread out from the contact point, but when it spread three inches away, it was suddenly stained with a dirty purple-black color.

“Nature is seriously polluted…”

Zygarde's voice was unusually heavy. "Conventional means are no longer effective in summoning rain. We must use the divine token as a medium to summon dark clouds."

Before Li Chen could respond, the entire tung tree forest suddenly shook violently.

Countless dark green points of light floated out from the ancient tree that had not yet burned, and countless cells appeared, converging towards Zygarde like the stars flowing backwards.

In an instant, Zygarde's body rapidly expanded in the light, and a metallic clanging sound was emitted as his limbs stretched.

Click! Clang!

When the green light faded, Zygarde in his 50% form stood tall, his massive body piercing deep into the scorched earth.

Its back flickered violently, engaging in a visible tug-of-war with the purple-black lines spreading underground!

"I can only suppress it for three minutes! Hurry and use the silver feather!"

Kiger said urgently, "Hurry up!"

"it is good."

Li Chen nodded and took out the silver feather from the system space without hesitation.

The feather shone like mercury in the firelight, and he threw it steadily towards Gyarados: "Gyarados, pray for rain with all your strength!"

"Roar!" (Leave it to me!)

Gyarados roared and swallowed the silver feather into its mouth.

The rainbow-colored horn on the forehead suddenly burst out with dazzling light.

The silver feathers turned into flowing water in its mouth, and as they dripped down its fangs, they condensed into countless suspended water droplets in the air!

A hurricane pierced the barrier, and the dark clouds finally broke through the invisible shackles and gathered madly on the energy light curtain held up by Zygarde!

In an instant, the sky seemed to be torn open, and a violent rain poured out.

The bean-sized raindrops, blessed by the silver feathers, glowed with a pearl-like halo and hit the burning tree trunks, making a loud "hissing" sound.

White water vapor suddenly rose up, covering the entire tung tree forest like a hazy veil.

The charred branches trembled in the rain, and the stubbornly dancing flames finally went out one by one, turning into wisps of green smoke twisting and rising into the sky.

The dry and cracked soil greedily sucked up the rainwater, and the cracked surface healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. A few surviving saplings even shook off the ashes and stretched out their tender green leaves again.

"finally......"

Celebi floated weakly into the air, catching a few drops of rain in his small hands.

The water droplets glowed an emerald halo in its palm, and as they flowed along its fingertips to the shrine, the runes began to glow again one by one.

Zygarde transformed back into his core form, breathing heavily, but the purple-black lines lurking in the earth's veins were still wriggling unwillingly in the rain.

The Hackrons of Yulongdu suddenly let out a clear dragon roar, and the gems on their necks were no longer suppressed, emitting an unprecedented blue light in the rain!

Dragonite spread its wings to catch the rain, and the purple-black energy on the wound was washed away bit by bit.

Chapter 433: Riding the Dragon...Chen?

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for achieving a hidden achievement! The favor of the Dragon Clan!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: The power of the dragon! ]

Li Chen felt a surge of energy suddenly emerge from his body.

Make your physical strength increase sharply.

"Strange, why do you give off an aura that... makes me feel comfortable?"

Yu Longdu struggled to open his heavy eyelids. Having just woken up, he frowned and his eyes were fixed on Li Chen.

He could clearly feel a powerful force surging in the other person's body, and this force actually gave him an inexplicable sense of intimacy!

It's as if they are of the same origin and connected by blood!

What concerned him even more was that Latias, standing next to Li Chen, was surrounded by a rich dragon-type energy. That pure and powerful aura was incomparable to that of ordinary dragon-type Pokémon!

Masaka!

An astonishing guess suddenly exploded in Yulongdu's mind.

His pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes turned eagerly towards Li Chen. There was even a hint of expectation in his voice that was difficult to conceal:

"Envoy Chen...is your last name also Yulong?"

Li Chen: “???”

"Listen to what you're saying?!"

Li Chen's tone suddenly rose, and he almost laughed out loud at this outrageous speculation.

how?

Is he going to change his surname on the spot, from Li Chen to "Yulong Chen"?

"Ah? Did I say something wrong?" Yulongdu scratched his hair in confusion, obviously very surprised by Li Chen's reaction. "You clearly have the dragon-controlling power that is unique to our Yulong family!"

He paused, his tone even carrying seven points of pride and three points of confusion:

"Besides, what's wrong with having the last name Yulong? Our Yulong family is the most powerful family in the Johto region!"

"One yard owned by a yard."

Li Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, raindrops dripping down the ends of his hair.

He raised his hand and wiped his face, a faint golden energy flowing between his fingers: "I do have the power of the dragon, but this does not mean that I am a member of the dragon family."

He pointed at his strange attire and said, "You can see that I'm from the Xicui area. How could I..."

"and many more!"

Yulongdu suddenly interrupted excitedly, and even Dragonite twitched his ears.

He didn't bother to wipe the rain off his face, his eyes shining: "Emissary Chen! The Xicui area is already connected to the northern part of the city!"

"What do you mean?"

Li Chen scratched his head, puzzled.

However, Yulongdu gestured unconsciously with his fingers, and said excitedly: "Maybe your ancestors migrated from the Yulong family! I will definitely look through the family tree and ancient books when I go back..."

"ha......?"

Li Chen was amused by his enthusiasm, and his confused laughter was particularly clear amidst the sound of rain. "Okay, then I'll wait for your 'archaeological' discoveries."

While the two were talking, the heavy rain continued.

The raging fire dragon had now turned into scattered flames, hissing unwillingly under the impact of the rain.

The charred tree trunks lay scattered in the mud, some still emitting a faint blue smoke.

But with this timely rain, the surviving trees have straightened their branches, and tender green buds are faintly visible in the rain.

Celebi floated to a burnt tree stump and where her little hand touched it, several emerald green seedlings were breaking through the soil.

"Envoy Chen, what are your plans next?"

Yu Longdu's tone became noticeably warmer, and he even unconsciously took a step closer to Li Chen.

The light flashing in those golden eyes was as if he had found a long-lost brother.

Dragonite tilted its head behind him, curiously looking at the stranger who was suddenly treated so warmly by his master.

"Prepare to go to Yuanzhu Town."

Li Chen brushed off the water droplets on his sleeves and said, "But the journey is long, we should find a town to rest on the way."

Yulongdu nodded immediately, "Indeed! Even if Dragonite flies at full speed, it will take most of the day to reach Yuanzhu Town."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up, "How about I go with you? I'll have someone to look after you on the way."

"this......"

Li Chen frowned slightly, feeling that this matter was not very good.

He was used to being alone, so he wasn't used to having someone accompany him...

"Do you have any currency from the Johto region on you?"

Yulongdu suddenly asked a fatal question.

Li Chen froze suddenly, his right hand awkwardly suspended in mid-air.

There seemed to be nothing in his empty wallet.

Not to mention the RMB of his time, which probably couldn't even buy a leaf in this era...

"hiss......"

The sound of Li Chen gasping for breath was drowned out by the sound of rain.

Seeing this, Yulongdu raised the corner of his mouth with a confident smile.

He slowly pulled out a brocade pouch embroidered with dragons from his bosom. The heavy clinking sound was particularly pleasant. "Xi Cui's coins are not accepted here. Let me come with you. All food and lodging are included. How about it?"

The rainstorm gradually dissipated, and the sun broke through the clouds.

The jade pendant hanging around Yulongdu's waist reflected a dazzling light, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in the glory of money.

Dragonite cooperated by puffing out its chest, its scales gleaming in the moonlight, like a moving vault sign.

"Ahem... I'll trouble you during this time."

Li Chen coughed twice to hide his embarrassment and looked calm.

He turned his face away, pretending to straighten his clothes, but secretly thought in his heart - it doesn't seem so bad to have such a mobile purse following him?

Yu Longdu saw all his little movements clearly, and a hint of understanding appeared at the corner of his lips, but he considerately did not point it out.

Before leaving.

Li Chen squatted down and looked at Celebi at eye level.

The water droplets after the rain hung on its emerald green skin, like tiny diamonds.

"Will you come with us this time?"

He asked softly, gathering a wave of guiding power at his fingertips and gently brushing Celebi's injured tentacle. "Those people won't let this go."

Celebi lowered his eyes, and his small hands subconsciously grabbed the corner of Li Chen's clothes.

It looked at the charred wood in the distance that was still smoking, and the breath of dark energy still lingered in those charred rings.

"Um......"

The mosquito-like reply was drowned in the wind.

When Celebi fell on Li Chen's shoulder, she was as light as a leaf.

The warmth from this human reminded it of the ancient tree that had protected it and helped it grow a hundred years ago...
