Elf: Start your slow-paced life after becoming a farmer.

However, after finding himself unharmed, Zhenyi gave Kyurem a strange look, and then launched a stealthy attack to return to Karl's side.

Seeing Winged Hair return to his side, Karl breathed a long sigh of relief. After hugging Winged Hair in his arms, he turned to look at Kyurem, who was slowly flying towards them.

Although everyone was very puzzled, seeing that Kyurem seemed to have no intention of attacking, they did not continue to command their Pokémon to attack Kyurem.

Kyurem stopped about 30 meters in front of them. Although Kyurem did not have pupils, for some reason, Karl felt that this "strongest dragon on earth" was watching him.

Seeing this, Shaka, the oldest of the three, immediately stepped forward. He bowed slightly in the direction of Kyurem and said respectfully, "Respected Kyurem, may I ask what brings you to this world?"

"According to human terms, I am searching for my hero." A hoarse and deep male voice appeared in everyone's minds.

Telepathy is a standard feature of most legendary Pokémon, but because some legendary Pokémon simply don't bother communicating with humans, they are often thought to lack telepathy.

As the third god in the Black and White generation, Kyurem naturally also possesses the ability of telepathy.

As a native of the Unova region and the League Champion, Alderman naturally knew about the "founding legend" of the Unova region.

In his mind, it seemed that only the black and white dragons, representing "truth" and "ideal," would choose the brave to fight.

After all, the reason why the "First Dragon" split into three was because the two twin brothers who originally established the Unova region had a disagreement between "reality" and "ideal".

Throughout the millennia of the struggle between the black and white dragons, Kyurem has mostly refrained from intervening in their conflict, let alone seeking out a hero.

Upon hearing Kyurem's words, Shaka instinctively looked at Karl, who was not far away.

As the guardian of the Gene Wedge of this generation, Shaka is well aware that in the history of the Unova region, Kyurem has never sought out heroes, or rather, He does not need heroes.

After all, Kyurem, as the "shell" shed by the "first dragon," never interfered in the ideological conflict between the black and white dragons.

Having lived in the Unova region for so many years, if they were the "heroes" Kyurem mentioned, He would have come knocking on their door long ago, and wouldn't have waited until now.

Therefore, in Shaka's view, the person who lured Kyurem here was most likely this young man named Karl.

Carl noticed the gazes that Adek and Shaka were giving him, and he quickly realized what they were thinking.

Karl then turned his head, looked directly into Kyurem's lifeless bright yellow eyes, and said calmly, "So, Kyurem, am I the hero you speak of?"

Kyurem nodded slightly, and that deep voice echoed in Karl's mind once more: "That's right, human who possesses the power of the intersection of ideals and reality, you are my destined hero."

After hearing Kyurem's affirmative answer, Karl fell silent. Although he found it somewhat unbelievable, the facts were undeniable, and he didn't know what to say at the moment.

As far as Karl knew, when the Black and White Dragons were looking for a hero, they would ask the chosen one about his views on "truth" and "ideal," or rather, they would look for a "hero" who conformed to their ideals.

Karl couldn't understand what he possessed that could attract Kyurem.

Karl couldn't figure it out, so he asked Kyurem about it.

“Because I sensed within you a power that could fill the void within me,” Kyurem replied. “That power I call the 'intersection of truth and ideal.'”

The power of reality and idealism intersecting?

The moment Karl heard Kyurem's reply, he immediately thought of the special ability he called "the power of bonds".

Carl remembered that when he first met Dream, it seemed to have mentioned that it felt a familiar "aura" on Carl.

"So, Kyurem, the reason you chose me to be your hero is not because I conform to your ideals, but because I can fill your void?" Karl asked, looking at Kyurem who was so close to him.

Kyurem paused for a moment after hearing Karl's question: "In these thousand years, I have witnessed countless battles between truth and ideal, but I only wish to return to perfection."

Upon hearing this, Karl subconsciously glanced at Shaka. In his opinion, Kyurem's "return to perfection" probably meant becoming the "first dragon" again.

The only way Karl could think of to return Kyurem to its "original form" was to use the Gene Wedge to have Kyurem devour the black and white dragons that represented "truth" and "ideal".

When Shaka saw the look Karl was giving him, he was startled. After hearing Kyurem's words, he had the same thought as Karl.

However, Shaka couldn't understand why Karl was looking at him at this moment: 'Does Karl know that the Gene Wedge is in my hands? How could that be?'

Chapter 159 Kyurem get~daze!

Regardless of what Shaka was thinking, Karl also came to his senses at this moment.

According to Kyurem, the "power of bonds" within him, or rather, the "power of the intersection of truth and ideal," has the potential to allow Kyurem to become the "Primordial Dragon" once again.

After figuring out the key points, Karl refocused his attention on Kyurem. Now a crucial question lay before Karl—whether he should become Kyurem's "hero".

The benefits of becoming a "hero" are self-evident. Kyurem is a legendary Pokémon, and most trainers in the world would not refuse to have a legendary Pokémon follow them, and Carl is no exception.

Carl was well aware that the downside of becoming a "hero" was that from now on, he would most likely be targeted by the villainous organization "Team Plasma" in the Unova region.

With Carl's current strength, he has no need to fear the threat of Team Plasma. If Carl hadn't come to Blueberry Academy without bringing Martial Arts Ursa Master, he could have handled the battle with Kyurem all by himself.

With this in mind, Karl's expression turned serious. He extended his right hand toward Kyurem: "Kyurem, although I am not sure if I have the ability to restore you to 'Perfection', since you have chosen me as your partner, I will do my best to meet your expectations."

Kyurem quietly looked at the human in front of it. In fact, Kyurem did not have the ability to distinguish lies like Zekrom and Reshiram, and it approached Karl simply because it wanted to return to "perfection".

But when Kyurem heard Karl say "partner" instead of "hero," it realized that the human in front of it seemed to regard him as an equal.

At this moment, a subtle and indescribable emotion welled up in Kyurem's empty heart. This was the first time it had experienced this feeling since it was "abandoned".

'Perhaps this is what makes this human so different?' Kyurem thought to himself.

Kyurem was silent for a moment, then slowly lowered its head and finally touched Karl's outstretched right hand. Then its heart felt the long-lost "warmth".

The instant Karl touched Kyurem, a surge of icy energy flowed into his body.

For some reason, this "coldness" did not make Karl feel uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, it stimulated a certain power hidden in Karl's body.

'Kyurem.' Karl subconsciously called out Kyurem's name in his mind.

"I am here," Kyurem responded immediately.

This feeling of heart-to-heart communication reminded Carl of a superpower called "Superpower".

However, Karl vaguely sensed that his "bond power" was probably not "overpower" but a higher level of existence than "overpower".

Under the watchful eyes of Shaka and Adek, Karl slowly withdrew his hand, then took out a deluxe ball from his backpack and handed it to Kyurem.

After Carl explained the purpose of the Poké Ball to Kyurem through telepathic communication, Kyurem readily moved its head close to the Luxury Ball.

With a flash of red light, Kyurem was taken into the Luxury Ball, and the indicator light on the Luxury Ball turned off immediately after it lit up.

'Perfectly subdued.' Shaka and Adek thought to themselves simultaneously.

Karl looked at the luxurious ball in his hand and said to Kyurem in his mind:

"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Carl, and I come from the Sinnoh region, which is the ancient Green region. However, I currently run a farm in the Padilla region and am also a part-time teacher, so I won't be making you fight most of the time."

'The farmer? I understand. Please let me know if there's anything I can do for you.'

Kyurem, are your injuries alright?

'You don't need to worry about me, Carl. This little injury will heal with a little rest.'

'Alright, then you should rest well first. If you need anything, just let me know. Don't be shy; after all, I'm your hero now.'

'……good'

While inside the luxurious sphere, Kyurem suddenly realized that the hero he had chosen seemed to be much more lively than he appeared.

After putting away the Poké Ball containing Kyurem, Carl said to Shaka and Alder, "Gym Leader Shaka, Champion Alder, it seems that we have successfully resolved this unexpected incident."

Shaka gave Karl a deep look and said, "Let's go back to the academy first. We can talk about it when we get back."

“No problem.” Karl nodded obediently.

……

When Carl and his two companions returned to Blueberry Academy on their respective Pokémon, Sylan, who had been waiting for them, immediately came to greet them.

"Resolved?" Xi Lan looked at the three unharmed people and breathed a sigh of relief before asking.

"I guess it's resolved." Adek scratched his head, unsure how to explain the situation to Xi Lan.

Seeing Adek's troubled expression, Xi Lan wisely refrained from pressing further: "It's good that it's resolved, it's good that it's resolved. You three have all worked hard, especially Professor Carl. Thank you very much for your help. I've already had lunch prepared. Come with me."

Adek winked at Carl, and seeing Carl's "I know nothing" look, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Led by Xi Lan, Karl and his two companions arrived at a private room on the top floor of the Blueberry Academy cafeteria. After leading them to the room, Xi Lan made an excuse and left.

"Shaka, why don't you go and report what just happened to the president?" Adek said to Shaka immediately after Xilan left.

Shaka glanced at Adek, who looked pleading, and suddenly remembered what Karl had said to Adek before he left. So he got up and left as well.

After the room door closed again, Adek looked intently at Carl: "Carl, before we left Blueberry Academy this morning, you said you might have a way to cure my partner. You weren't lying to me, were you?"

“I’m not lying to you.” Karl paused, gathering his thoughts, before continuing, “Senior Adek, you should have seen me use ‘Tai Crystallization’ in the battle just now, right?”

"Well, although I haven't been paying much attention to the League lately, I've heard the Chairman mention the crystallization in your Padia region. But what does that have to do with healing Pokémon?" Adecker's face showed a hint of urgency.

“Of course it’s related.” Karl explained calmly, “In the legends of our Parthian region, there exists a substance called ‘Secret Seasoning.’ It is said that as long as you consume five of these secret seasonings, you can cure all diseases.”

"I used to think that the secret seasoning was just a legend, but just recently, I found the real secret seasoning in the scorching desert of the Parthian region..."

Chapter 160 The Price of Justice and the Hope of Salvation

"So, Karl, you already have three kinds of secret seasonings?" Adek looked at Karl. "It's just that these secret seasonings require the use of crystal fragments to power the crystal beads for cultivation?"

“That’s right, that’s how it is.” Karl nodded, then changed the subject, “However, senior, the Secret Seasoning isn’t a panacea. If a Pokémon dies of natural causes, then the Secret Seasoning won’t work.”

Upon hearing this, Adek sighed deeply: "If the secret seasoning really has the effects you describe, then I think it should be able to save my old partner."

Then Aldeck began to tell Carl the story of him and his first partner, the Fire Butterfly.

When Aldek was young, he stumbled upon an ancient ruin by chance.

Deep within the ruins, Adek encountered a burning worm slumbering there and won it over with the snacks he carried.

In the real world, Fubuzz is even rarer than most pseudo-legendary Pokémon because, in most cases, Fubuzz only inhabits the vicinity of volcanoes.

According to the Pokédex, Fubuzz can even spew flames up to 3000 degrees Celsius from its horns.

Therefore, in some ancient regions, Fubuki was considered a Pokémon born from the sun and was worshipped by people.

This is why Adeq was able to find fireflies in ancient ruins.

After subduing the Burning Worm, Adek began his life as a protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel.

Although Alder was not as undefeated in official battles (i.e., public battles) as the current Galar champion, Dante, Alder almost single-handedly dominated the younger generation in the Unova region at that time.

In fact, this is already a remarkable achievement. There are differences between geniuses. Not everyone is a bully from Mt. Silver. Being able to become a Gym Leader-level Trainer in one's early twenties can already be called a genius.

As for debuting as a champion? You can count the number of people in the world who can achieve that on two hands.

At that time, Alderk quickly became a leader of the younger generation thanks to his Burning Bug and his already remarkable talent. After a few years of honing his skills, Alderk launched an attack on the Unova region's championship title.

And Alder lived up to expectations, defeating the previous Unova regional champion and ascending to the champion's throne.

At that time, Aldak had achieved fame at a young age and was full of vigor, always feeling that the whole world was under his control.

Due to Alder's fiery and righteous nature, he began his "rule" in the Unova region.

The so-called "rule" is more accurately described as preventing any "villainous" organization from emerging.

Under Alder's "rule" and the current League Chairman's vigorous development, the Unova region has become one of the largest economies in the Pokémon world.

Young Adek didn't know that justice comes at a price, and he didn't know that at the time.

Just last year, during an operation to protect the League, Ardek's original partner, the Burning Bug he brought out of the ruins, now Volcarona, was on the verge of death due to years of overexertion.

It is important to know that the Charizard family are very long-lived Pokémon. Before being taken out of that ruin by Alder, Charizard had already lived in that ruin for many years. So why did it fall into a near-death situation due to overexertion less than forty years after being taken out of that ruin by Alder?

The answer, of course, is that it overtaxed its body to meet Ardek's expectations, and that was the price Ardek paid for his justice.

Can we say that Aldeck did something wrong?

No, it is precisely because of his existence that the Unova region has been able to develop so well over the years. Even Team Plasma, which was secretly plotting a conspiracy, only dared to officially launch an operation in the Unova region after being 100% certain that Alder's original partner had passed away.

If we go back five years, and Ghetto dared to give a speech in the street asking trainers to release their Pokémon, Alder would have already come knocking on his door with his partner Volcarona.

Aldak never believed his sense of justice was wrong; he even stated that he would still carry out his justice even if time were reversed.

But Adek regretted it; he regretted not noticing his initial partner's physical condition sooner.

After listening to Adek's words, Carl was actually quite puzzled. According to Adek, Volcano had always had regular check-ups, and even if it overworked itself, it shouldn't have ended up in this state.

Could this be related to Team Plasma?

In Carl's memory, there seemed to be a mad scientist in Team Plasma who even appeared in later generations.

The Pokémon world is full of cutting-edge technologies, and who knows, there might be some kind of technology that can kill a Pokémon without them even realizing it?

Since the game's storyline does not specify the exact cause of Aldeck's initial partner's death, Carl remains skeptical.

After all, in Karl's memory, the last mad scientist had defected from the village, betrayed his teacher, and even changed his gender.

Not to mention Ghetto, the only CS in the Pokémon world who can be called a pure villain.

Leaving aside the villains of the Padida region, Quixote is by far the ugliest villain of all time.
