Chapter 1234 "Phoenix King's Guard"
"Buzz!"
The semi-dormant iron tracks suddenly awoke, disengaging from their wheel state and retreating to Nemo's side.
The roaring tail also showed a solemn expression, "Eee..."
Something dangerous is coming!
Nemo and the others noticed what Kashiwagi had just said, and as they looked in the direction of the vibration, they exclaimed in surprise:
"Suicune? What Suicune?"
"Absurd Suijun!"
As he spoke, he took out a Poké Ball and threw it forward.
boom!
“Guhou!”
The giant monster Aggron appears, spotting its opponent in the distance—
A blue-skinned, purple-maned velociraptor, even larger than it, with a familiar yet unfamiliar appearance.
"Roar--!!"
It roared, stomping the ground with a rumbling sound, and approached at an extremely fast speed, startling Pipa and Peony so much that they immediately threw Poké Balls.
Boom!
The Mastiff Godfather and Sylveon landed.
Nemo suddenly exclaimed, "It's it! That voice! The mysterious Pokémon by the water!"
Because of Dr. Fortu's experience and considering Piper's feelings, they did not continue exploring Sector Zero.
The strange roar heard upon entering the dense fog has become an unsolved mystery.
Nemo later went to look for it, but to no avail. She also consulted Dr. Fortu but could not get a definite answer.
If everyone hadn't been there, she might have thought it was just her imagination.
Pipa and Peony quickly recalled the images buried in their memories.
"How did it get here?"
The location at that time was near the third observation station, but this place was not even as far as the second observation station, and was located in the upper part of the zero zone!
Cypress turned to look at Iron-spotted Leaf standing on the cliff.
"That's a question for them."
The group then realized that the iron-spotted leaves had appeared out of nowhere.
When the nearby Suicune saw them, instead of stopping to observe, it bent down and accelerated its charge!
"Roar!!"
The roar of the beast was deafening.
Indiscriminate attack?
It has a very ancient species style!
"Ee-ah—"
"Guhoo!"
Aggron held back its Roaring Tail, which was about to rush forward, and took the lead to meet it.
Long!
The giant monster rose from the ground and charged straight at Suicune's face with lightning speed!
Suddenly, the yellowish-brown light, centered on its thick horns, emitted a heart-pounding high-energy fluctuation.
[Explosive Leap - Double-Edged Hammer]!
"Roar--"
In the distance, the paradoxical Suicune opened its huge mouth, and the azure water that had just gathered into a small clump turned into a glaring yellowish-brown!
Boom!
A blinding flash of light!
Soil and grass clippings were churned up like waves, and billowing dust covered everything!
The electronic eyes of the Iron-spotted Leaf on the cliff flashed, and the Mastiff Godfather and Sylveon were amazed. The iron tracks returned to the shape of wheels.
The exaggerated power of the double-edged hammer did indeed cause them some impact.
Of all the Pokémon present, only Roartail showed no reaction, and even seemed a little unhappy that Mega Monster had stopped it from attacking.
"Eee~!"
It should roar!
The overconfident roar went unnoticed; everyone's attention was focused on the swirling smoke.
Nemo exclaimed excitedly, "Amazing!"
"Did they take it down?" Peony clenched her fist nervously, more concerned about the fate of Suicune.
As if in response to her question, a restless struggle came from the swirling dust, and the smoke and dust were dispersed at that moment.
Aggron suppressed Suicune, which was much larger than it, preventing it from getting up.
"Roar!!"
Paradoxical Suicune continued to roar furiously, its ferocious appearance astonishing.
At this moment, the multiple phones spoke.
"It's called 'Waves' in Zhu's book!"
The Book of Purple is in the possession of Dr. Futu, while the Book of Crimson is a family heirloom of Bai Leiya. Information from both books has been recorded by Polygonus II.
Rippling water.
The name sounds quite nice.
Kashiwagi suddenly had a wicked idea: what kind of expression would Suicune make if he captured it and brought it to Suicune?
This is going to be really interesting!
“Cypress, the iron-spotted leaf has come down.” Piper nudged his arm with his elbow.
With his mischievous nature interrupted, Kashiwagi turned his head to look at the future Virizion—Ironleaf—that was leisurely approaching.
He asked directly, "Why is the water here? Did you bring it up here?"
"Beep...beep..."
The iron-spotted leaf has an eerie tone.
The multi-faceted phone replied, "I don't understand."
Can't understand?
Can't speak human language?
Kashiwagi raised an eyebrow. Unlike Ultra Beasts, Paradox Pokémon still use the same language system as regular Pokémon.
At least the multi-cell phone could understand what Roaring Tail and Millerton were saying.
Nemo waved and said, "Long time no see! What's going on? Can you explain?"
The actions of the Future Swordsmen in maintaining the environment of Zone Zero and preventing Paradox Pokémon from escaping were analyzed and determined by the Padia League to indicate that they might be communicating with each other.
However, like modern-day holy swordsmen, they never appear in public under normal circumstances.
Even if they appear, we'll just watch from afar.
The Four Heavenly Kings of Padiya tried to communicate with him many times but failed each time.
"Beep...beep..."
Iron Leaf's voice remained strange. It stared at the group of people, then looked at the distant Waves Water, which was still struggling despite being suppressed by Bosscodora's physical body.
It moved.
Instead of facing the rippling water, they chose to run away.
As if leaving the mess to a few people, he leaped high back onto the cliff and disappeared in a few strides.
"This guy... could he have been lured here on purpose?"
Piper boldly hypothesized, "They want us to help them deal with the turbulent waters! They're using us to do their dirty work!"
After pondering for a few seconds, Peony agreed with Papa's statement, "Very likely! Otherwise, there's no way to explain why the ripples appear in the upper layer!"
Nemo asked in surprise, "Is there some contradiction between them?"
"Whether there's a conflict or not, just ask the other party involved." Kashiwagi took out a tennis ball.
If he's not mistaken, the rippling water should also be of the water element.
Whoosh!
The tiny net, like a sharp arrow, pierced the air and flew towards the rippling water where the giant monster had deliberately turned its head away to prevent it from spotting it.
But halfway through the flight, a blinding light suddenly flashed!
Snapped!
The tennis ball was shattered by a bolt of lightning!
Everyone was shocked!
Are there any Pokémon nearby?
Kashiwagi's eyes twitched, and he quickly shouted, "Gengar!"
"哓GA!"
Shiny Gengar leaped out of the shadows, opened its mouth wide and swallowed the four people, then disappeared back into the shadows, leaving only the Pokémon in place.
A few seconds later, Gengar spat out Kashiwagi and the others.
"No further attack?"
He looked around; the lightning was too fast for even his eyesight to track.
The attack, for reasons unknown, prompted him to order Gengar to protect him.
However, the opponent did not seem to have any intention of attacking again, and simply destroyed the catch ball.
of course,
What really triggered Kashiwagi's overreaction was that he couldn't even identify the target of his attack.
He wasn't bragging, but his observation and perception skills are now comparable to those of a high-level sentry rat, and he hasn't been ambushed in many years.
He was the one who ambushed others.
Who exactly were the attackers?
"Ee-ah!"
The roaring tail pointed loudly to the sky, though it couldn't see where the lightning was coming from, it could hear it.
The cypress tree looked up and saw a surging expanse of purple clouds.
cloud?
Purple?
“It’s the ancient Thunder God!” Nemo quickly gave the answer; how could she forget?
After all, this is the goal of this trip!
Multi-faceted mobile phone detection: "No living organism reaction, pure thundercloud—most likely a technique!"
So where exactly is Lei Gong located?
Suddenly, Bai Mu felt a strong pressure and turned his head to look at the cliff on the other side.
The appearance of the Pokémon caused his pupils to shrink sharply.
"The ancient Yan Emperor?"
First it was the Water God, then the Thunder God, and now even the Flame Emperor has shown his face!
The other three looked up in the direction of the sound and were astonished to see a large lion with horns and a shield-like head, seemingly mixed with the blood of the city's guardian dragon!
"Roar!!"
It roared angrily, and beneath the sky covered by a vast sea of clouds, a scorching ball of light rapidly took shape.
All of a sudden.
The surface of the water, suppressed by Aggron, glowed with orange-red light, as did Roaring Tail.
"Unified characteristics..."
Kashiwagi waved and threw the Poké Ball.
Boom!
Hydreigon, Mawile, and other level 90 Pokémon make their debut.
The other three also knew the situation was bad, but apart from Nemo replacing the Iron Tracks with Babubo, they didn't release any more Pokémon.
They knew they didn't have the ability to command multiple Pokémon simultaneously.
It's better to specialize in one thing than to try to do multiple things at once.
On the other side of the cliff, the ancient Thunder God they were looking for finally appeared, looking down at the crowd.
"All of them at once."
Nemo still had the energy to joke, but her expression was very serious. "Babu Groundhog—"
"and many more."
Kashiwagi raised his hand, stopping Nemo from launching an attack.
His eyes met those of the ancient Yan Emperor. "Bosscodora! Release the Waves!"
“Guhou!”
Without hesitation, the giant monster obediently released the attack and retreated, even though it might be attacked by the surging waves.
Sure enough, the enraged waves opened their mouths and were about to spray water all over it!
"Roar--!!"
The ancient Emperor Yan suddenly roared, and his powerful roar, like that of a lion, stopped the gushing water from flowing.
Then, to Nemo and the others' astonishment, Bodangshui struggled to her feet, gave Bosscodora a deep look as if trying to memorize its appearance, and then walked away slowly and limped away.
Upon seeing this, the ancient Yan Emperor and the ancient Lei Gong also retreated without any hesitation.
"what's the situation?"
Piper was completely confused.
He thought he was about to face a fierce battle, but he was told that the three of them just left?
Peony calmly said, "The fact that they didn't attack us largely speaks volumes."
In ancient times, the Thunder God only destroyed the net, and the Yan Emperor only roared and brought a clear sky.
From these points, it's not hard to see that their attitude is relatively friendly.
At least it's more friendly than the sudden, unexpected attack of rippling water.
"They are called Sky-Piercing Flame and Thunderous Drum." The multi-faceted phone pulled up the records about the other two in Zhu's book.
Kashiwa said, "Their personalities are completely reversed."
"what?"
Nemo and the others were confused.
He said, “Emperor Yan’s personality is rather impatient, but his Breaking Flame is very calm; Thunder God is violent, but his Thunder Drum does not look rough; on the contrary, the most elegant and peaceful Water Lord, his Paradoxical Wave Water is very turbulent.”
How do you know what kind of personality the Ho-Oh Guard has?
Question marks appeared on the foreheads of all three of them. Kashiwagi's tone made it seem as if he had had in-depth contact with the Ho-Oh Guard.
But I think I only played against him once in a match, right?
To the best of everyone's knowledge, Kashiwagi only defeated the Ent Emperor once, during the Orei Tournament, using the Three-Headed Dragon.
Could it be that we met there?
They didn't think deeply about it; their immediate priority was to figure out the situation.
"Did the Sky-Piercing Flames and the others come to rescue Bo Dangshui? I have a feeling there's something fishy about this."
Pipa wondered, "Could it be that the Iron-spotted Leaves and the others have some kind of conflict with these three?"
This is undoubtedly based on the earlier speculation about why Iron-spotted Leaf entrusted the Rippling Water to them.
Nemo asked, "Do the future Holy Swordsmen want to compete with the ancient Phoenix Guard for territory? For Sector Zero?"
Pokémon claiming territory is an age-old tradition.
It's not surprising that she thinks that way.
Peony lowered her head in thought, but offered no guesses, saying, "Go ask the Four Heavenly Kings stationed here; perhaps they know something."
Everyone agreed.
It's definitely better to ask the people here than to guess blindly.
Kashiwagi recalled the Pokémon he had dispatched, patted Aggron's arm, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Guhou~"
Bosscodora responded, then shook his head.
It refused to return to the Poké Ball, wanting to stay outside to protect Cypress's safety.
As the Pokémon directly involved in the battle, it sensed things more clearly than the onlookers.
Bodang Water's initial anger was mostly directed at Ironleaf, and although the hatred later shifted, the experienced Bosscodora believed that the other party was very likely to regard them as accomplices.
Isn't the same true for the Roaring Tail?
It always feels like everyone is ganging up on it.
Even if this never happened.
Looking into the giant monster's azure eyes, Kashiwagi nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll leave it to you."
"Ee-ah!"
The roaring tail was unconvinced; it felt it had enough.
It can handle all kinds of leaf spots and ripples, but the cypress doesn't give it a chance!
Bosscodora didn't bother with it.
Reasoning with idiots is torture, and Polygon II doesn't need to suffer the same fate again.
The group set off towards the bottom again and soon arrived at the second observation station, where they met the second Heavenly King stationed there.
"Teacher Hachisaku!"
Nemo waved excitedly at the blond, bookish man.
Compared to the first observation station, the second observation station, although it has also been renovated, is clearly not as good as the former.
The surrounding construction equipment was also at a standstill.
"What brings you here? Hmm? Kashiwagi-kun?"
Hachisaku's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward enthusiastically, saying, "I heard that your three-headed dragon is now the Dragon King?"
"Yes, you're also interested in the Dragon King Festival?"
Cypress wood is a rare and unusual path.
Hachisaku laughed heartily, "Of course! This is a major event for dragon tamers! Especially since you are the dragon tamer I'm most interested in!"
Although he wasn't the first to see Kashiwagi's immense potential, Hachisaku was definitely one of the people who admired him the most.
A mutual appreciation between dragon tamers!
Kashiwagi smiled politely, then quickly got to the point, "It's like this, Mr. Hachisaku..."
After a brief explanation.
Hachisaku frowned, pondered briefly, and then dialed a number on his phone.
Beep...
Beep...
The call is connected.
"Hello?" A weak voice came from inside.
Kashiwagi could tell that the person opposite him was Aoki, the legendary worker who held three part-time jobs.
Without uttering any unnecessary words, Hachisaku quickly explained the situation.
"Ah, that's true."
Aoki gave an affirmative answer.
