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

In the instant the space distorted, Li Chen caught a glimpse of a rare, relaxed smile in the eyes of the three gods.

The next second, the scorching sun beat down on my face, and the sound of a Hawaiian ukulele filled my ears...

He was standing under a coconut tree on Waikiki Beach, Zekrom's Poké Ball rolled into a sand dune, and girls in bikinis screamed not far away.

The Zygarde Core inside the backpack sighed, while the Brightstone burned like a red-hot iron.

Huhu~

The salty sea breeze replaced the eerie atmosphere of the reversed world, and Li Chen's shoes sank into the soft white sand.

As for the Thunderous Secret Realm where the fierce battle with Czechoslovakia took place?

Don't even think about that kind of thing.

Well, it'll all be his eventually anyway.

Instead, look at what's in front of you: the azure sea and the swaying coconut palms.

Several tourists, their faces flushed from the sun, stood watching, holding pineapple juice, but none dared to approach the suddenly appearing young man from the East.

The crackling lightning patterns on the Poké Ball at his waist, and the scorch marks from the remaining blue flames on his clothes, both exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay...

"These three internal war phantom dragons..."

Li Chen bent down to pick up the massive, sand-covered sphere and sighed softly, "Could the teleportation coordinates be a little more reliable?"

On the distant horizon, tourists on a yacht were aiming their binoculars at this direction, the glare from the lenses particularly glaring.

Li Chen's gaze swept across the sea, and the telescope on the yacht instantly dropped.

Tourists hurriedly packed up their equipment, pretending to be very interested in the sudden surge of waves.

The phone screen lit up, and an alert message from Hawaii automatically popped up:

[Warning: A Cataclysmic Level Mystic Aura has been detected in northern Oahu, suspected to be related to the island's legendary trainer, Tapu ?. The local Trainer Association has issued an Orange Alert.]

Li Chen squinted at the distant outline of the volcano, where the clouds were strangely swirling into a vortex, with faint golden lightning flashes.

The tourists on the beach suddenly became agitated, with some pointing at the horizon and screaming.

Suddenly, a hundred-meter-high wall of waves rose up without warning, and on the crest of the wave stood an orange figure holding a drumstick, surveying the shore with a disdainful gaze.

At the same time, three more hundred-meter-high water columns suddenly burst open on the sea surface, and the figures of the Tapu appeared one by one in the waves!

Tapu's mooing blue horns cleaved the waves, and a magnificent flower path bloomed beneath its feet;

Tapu Fizz descended amidst the purple mist, its mysterious aura turning the seawater grape-colored;

Tapu butterfly floats among rainbows, its scales flickering like nebulae with each breath;

Meanwhile, Tapu's drumming mallets struck the void, each strike resonating with thunder and tsunamis!

Four divine powers simultaneously locked onto the young man on the beach, and the tourists had already collapsed to the ground.

The Light Stone and Dark Stone at Li Chen's waist trembled violently, as if responding to the island guardian's overwhelming fighting spirit...

In that instant, Tapu Fizz's purple mist suddenly expanded, wrapping around the aura of the other three gods like a veil.

It murmured as it skimmed across the sea, the spray from its toes instantly crystallizing into grape-colored gems.

"Fin fin~"

Amidst the ethereal cries, the thick fog seemed to rise and spread across the beach as if it were alive.

The tourists' figures blurred into silhouettes in the fog, while Li Chen discovered that his waveguide was being gently enveloped.

Tapu Fizz stopped three steps away from him, its misty tail fin swaying gently, scattering shimmering rainbow light across the ground.

In the distance, the three Tapu reluctantly withdrew their divine power, while Tapu Koko's drumsticks continued to strike with a muffled, thunderous lingering sound.

The purple mist receded like the tide, replaced by a white mist.

The aura of the four island gods completely dissipated in the salty sea breeze.

"What's going on now...?"

Seeing that he was all alone, Li Chen couldn't help but sigh.

"Li Chen."

The sudden familiar voice sent a jolt through his spine.

Li Chen slowly turned around. Three meters away, under a parasol, a man in a flashy Hawaiian shirt was using a can opener to pry open a pineapple beer.

His graying temples and wrinkles around his eyes couldn't conceal the unbridled spirit in his bones. When he tilted his head back to gulp down his drink, the curve of his Adam's apple was exactly the same as Li Chen remembered...

The foam slid down the bottle neck, leaving a signature mark of "Li Xuan" on the sand.

My father, whom I hadn't seen for over a decade, grinned, revealing a carefree dimple on his sunburnt cheek: "You brat, you don't even greet your father?"

"..."

Li Chen's fingertips touched the laurel wreath on his forehead, the gilded patterns shimmering with a cool light unique to the region under the sunlight.

He suddenly understood why Tapu Fizz's mist carried a familiar, decaying aura.

"Although I knew all along that its mist could connect to the underworld..."

As he spoke, the crown on Li Chen's forehead suddenly materialized, pressing heavily on his black hair. "But this kind of reunion is truly unexpected."

On the distant horizon, Fizz's tail fin flashed by, and Giratina's cold snort could be faintly heard from the mist.

"That brat has quite the airs."

Li Xuan wiped his son's crown with his wine-stained thumb, and the metal surface immediately reflected a scene from many years ago.

Then, Li Xuan's gaze fell on the Bright Stone, where bluish-white flames danced in his eyes.

He suddenly flicked the stone surface, sending sparks flying: "That stubborn Rashiram actually acknowledged you, you little bastard."

Li Chen: "?"

The Bright Stone suddenly became hot, and Reshiram's phantom nodded slightly to Li Xuan in the flames.

A wave swept in a fragment of a charred Poké Ball, which Li Xuan buried in the sand with his toe: "Back then, I almost..."

Halfway through his sentence, Li Xuan suddenly changed the subject, "Never mind, let's drink!"

Chapter 528 The Legendary Dragon Ruler

pat!

The foam of the pineapple beer burst at the rim of the glass, and the Poké Ball of Zekrom trembled slightly at Li Chen's waist.

The reflections of the father and son mingled in the wine, making it impossible to tell whose eyes welled up with tears first.

"dad......"

Li Chen looked at Li Xuan, the crown pattern on his forehead glowing slightly, and asked in a softer tone, "Do you... still have a chance to be resurrected?"

"Resurrection? How is that possible?"

Li Xuan grinned, pointing to his wound, which was now emitting a golden light and shining brightly: "If fate allows, perhaps you will see me in some timeline after you have resolved the affairs of this world."

As he spoke, Li Xuan flicked his fingertip on the Bright Stone, sending up a string of sparks.

He straightened the laurel wreath on Li Chen's head, making a "tsk tsk" sound.

"Besides, I'm nothing like your little girlfriend, who can rely on the Queen of the Lace to get a resurrection cheat."

"Hahahaha!"

Li Xuan's laughter made the coconut trees rustle, and he tapped the Poké Ball at the front of Li Chen's waist with his finger.

"In my next life... I want to be a trainer specializing in Fighting-type skills!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xuan's silhouette began to quantize and dissipate.

The last thing to disappear was the finger that had poked the son's forehead, its tip still lingering with the sweet taste of pineapple beer...

"call......"

Li Chen exhaled a deep breath, which condensed into white mist in the sea breeze.

He simply leaned back, letting the fine sand wash over his fingertips.

The fog was thick and lingered for a long time.

"son..."

A call stopped Li Chen.

The mist behind me rolled slowly.

A simple figure in a plain white dress slowly emerged.

Li Chen smelled the scent of lavender laundry detergent from his memory.

Shi Xin's hand was lighter than mist, yet the pressure she applied to his hair was exactly the same as when she was born: "Your father, that brute... I forgot to mention the most important thing..."

Her figure began to fade, but her voice grew clearer: "...Mom is proud of you."

Li Chen looked up, wanting to say something, but his mouth wouldn't move.

His Poké Balls suddenly all popped open automatically.

Rehiram, Czechoslovakia, Zygold...

All the legendary Pokémon face the same direction, their tail flames and lightning intertwining to form a rainbow bridge of farewell.

Li Chen's fingertips were still suspended in mid-air, maintaining the posture of wanting to grab something.

However, the mother's presence dissipated faster than the sea breeze, leaving only a flower that was slightly warm in the palm of the hand.

The distant waves suddenly froze for a second.

The encounter lasted only a few seconds, too short to even notice the fine lines around her eyes; all I remember is the lingering scent of disinfectant from the hospital as her hand brushed across my hair...

Splash!

As the tide rose, the last wisp of purple mist dissipated amidst the shimmering waves.

Eileen's soul emerged from the sea of ​​consciousness, her cool fingers touching Li Chen's tense temples: "Li Chen, are you alright?"

"I am fine."

Li Chen stared at Tapu Fizz's last glimpse of its tail fin on the horizon, until Eileen's entire soul weight was hanging on his back, before suddenly chuckling.

"Speaking of which..."

Li Chen pinched her translucent cheek with his other hand, "Why wasn't that little ghost swept away by the underworld fog?"

"Humph~"

Eileen's fangs pierced his shoulder instantly, and her soul suddenly radiated the golden light of the Crowned Queen's blessing: "Because my resurrection progress bar has already loaded to 99%!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chen's fingertips brushed through Eileen's hair, and his aura rippled with tiny blue light at the point of contact: "Then I'll have to prepare a lavish revival ceremony, lest that elf throw another tantrum."

"Hehehe~"

Eileen's soul suddenly turned cherry blossom pink, her tiger teeth flashed defiantly, and before dissipating, she gave his ear one last twist: "If you dare to be late, I'll marry you while wearing my funeral clothes!"

Upon hearing this, both Li Chen's Light Stone and Dark Stone became hot.

The silhouettes of Rahiram and Zekrom spelled out the word "coward" on the beach, only to be promptly erased by the waves.

......

......

The last wisp of purple mist dissipated in the scorching sunlight, and the songs of the Tapu troopers faded into the distance.

Li Chen squinted as the Hawaiian sun once again dominated his field of vision.

All the worldly noise suddenly rushed back to my ears.

"Damn teleportation!"

Yuna's curses crashed down from a hundred meters in the air, and the Warrior Eagle braked suddenly, kicking up a cloud of yellow sand.

She nimbly rolled to the ground, muttering under her breath, "After searching for so long, I've finally found you."

He pushed his sunglasses up to his forehead, revealing his bloodshot eyes underneath.

When she saw the giant ball of light and the Bright Stone flashing simultaneously on Li Chen's waist, the curse she was about to unleash suddenly took a turn: "...What legendary Pokémon have you messed with this time, kid?"
