The old Desert Dragonfly looked at the crying Milotic who was hiding aside, thought for a while and said nothing. He turned back to look at Xiaozhi and the others and continued to tell his story. After so many years, there was finally an audience. He had kept these words in his heart for a long time, and now he wanted to say them all.
But seeing the old Desert Dragonfly's current appearance, Xiaozhi wanted to cry for some reason. He seemed to understand why the other party told him these stories. It should be the same as the two old men in the projection.
"In order to repay the help of my tribe members and to let them take care of this stubborn child, I mobilized my energy while sleeping to subtly enhance the potential of my tribe members."
Chapter 307 Now, I am here
"But now, my life is about to come to an end, but I can't let my strength be taken away like this, so I asked this little fellow to help me find a successor, and finally you were brought to me."
After the old Desert Dragonfly finished talking about his life, he turned around and said something that shocked Xiaozhi and Desert Dragonfly. The Milotic next to him finally couldn't suppress his inner grief and burst into tears.
"I, I can't..." Before Xiaozhi could finish his sentence, the old desert dragonfly glared at Xiaozhi, causing him to fall into a coma.
"Lei!"
The Desert Dragonfly who saw Xiaozhi fainted suddenly became anxious and was ready to pick up his weapon to fight the old Desert Dragonfly. However, he was easily stopped by the other party. After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and no matter how old the old Desert Dragonfly was, it was not comparable to the current Desert Dragonfly.
“Oooooooh (Stop it!)”
Just when Flycatcher was about to overdraw its body and forcibly use Dragon Dive to attack the old Flycatcher, the Poké Ball on Ash's waist instantly opened, and Suicune gracefully jumped out of the ball, stopping the battle between the two sides.
"Haha, I knew I was right. It's you. It looks like this guy should be the new Rainbow Hero. Otherwise, why would you, the original Phoenix King messenger, follow him? It seems that my vision is really good."
After seeing Suicune, the old Desert Dragonfly let out a breath in annoyance. In the past, he had defeated the opponents so much that they had to run away from him, but now they dared to stand in front of him.
"Woo~ (What on earth do you want to do!)"
Suicune did not dare to take it lightly. Although the old Desert Dragonfly was too old to walk, he knew how crazy this guy was in the past. To put it bluntly, except for those missing first-level gods, everyone had been beaten up by him. They all thought that the other party was dead, but they did not expect to see him here.
"Don't be so nervous. I can't beat you now. Sometimes I envy you guys. You are not weak in strength and your lifespan is very long. If I had your lifespan, I would challenge the strongest instead of staying here honestly."
After saying these words, the old Desert Dragonfly noticed that Suicune in front of him did not relax his vigilance at all, and he immediately lost interest. However, he was very happy to see the familiar Pokémon again, but he did not show it on his face.
"Hey, little guy over there, although you have passed my test, you must agree to my two conditions, otherwise I would rather let this strength disappear in the world than entrust it to you." The old desert dragonfly looked at the desert dragonfly and said very seriously.
"Lei?"
"Woo~ (Listen first.)"
After hearing this, the Desert Dragonfly subconsciously shifted his gaze to Suicune beside him, wanting to ask for his opinion. Suicune nodded to him, indicating that he would listen first. Although the other party was an honest man, so many years have passed, and he might have become more cunning, so it would be better to be careful.
"It's very simple. First, when you grow old like me, I hope you can come back to this island and take care of your fellow tribesmen on the island like I do." The old desert dragonfly said solemnly.
Hearing this condition, the desert dragonfly was a little hesitant, because he was still very young, less than a year old, and he really couldn't think about what would happen so long in the future. Having been with Xiaozhi for a long time, he naturally attached great importance to the promise he made. (Pidgeot: You're talking nonsense!)
However, he also saw the scenes in the Flower of Time. Such a powerful force made him unable to give up, so after a period of psychological struggle, he chose to agree.
After seeing that the desert dragonfly agreed, the old desert dragonfly breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, he did not let down his fellow tribesmen on the island. However, he immediately returned to his serious state. After finishing his duties, the next thing was his real request.
"The second and final point is, use my power well and take my power with you to become the strongest in the world, otherwise you will definitely be beaten to death!"
The old Desert Dragonfly suddenly roared loudly. Before the Desert Dragonfly and Suicune could react to what was happening, a sudden change occurred. The Desert Dragonfly's huge body began to slowly turn into sand and turned into emerald green spots. They rushed towards the Desert Dragonfly like a swallow throwing itself into his arms. Suddenly, a white light of evolution bloomed from the Desert Dragonfly's body!
That’s right, the old Desert Dragonfly actually didn’t have any conditions at all. The first point was just to plant a seed in the other party’s heart. His test ended long ago when the Desert Dragonfly blew up the rocks at the entrance of the cave and agreed to his conditions.
In fact, he had already recognized Desert Dragonfly from the beginning. He would give his strength to Desert Dragonfly no matter what. However, he still wanted to see if the successor he chose had the heart of a strong man and the desire for strength. After seeing Desert Dragonfly's eyes, he knew he was not wrong.
At this moment, Xiaozhi, who had fainted, woke up. When he saw the Desert Dragonfly glowing with white light, he shouted and tried to rush forward. Fortunately, he was stopped by Suicune who reacted quickly.
"What's wrong with your body? It should take a normal person several hours to wake up. How come you woke up in less than five minutes? Are you really human?"
Looking at the awakened Xiaozhi, the old Desert Dragonfly, who had been acting like everything was under control, suddenly lost his composure. He repeatedly confirmed that his control had not weakened in the slightest, and then he came to the conclusion that Xiaozhi might not be a human.
But now the situation is very clear. No matter what Xiaozhi does, he cannot stop himself from passing on his skills to this desert dragonfly. Generally speaking, no one would refuse such a good thing.
In just a few short minutes, only a head remained of the old desert dragonfly's originally huge body. The white light on the desert dragonfly's body also began to gradually weaken, and the entire process of transmitting power was about to end.
"It's finally over. I've been alone in this world for too long. I wonder if my master is anxious waiting for me over there. I've been by his side since he was a child, and I've never left him. But now we've been separated for so long. I wonder how he made it through~"
The old desert dragonfly said faintly, "Now, I am here."
Chapter 308: Master, you are so fast!
As the old desert dragonfly finished his last words, his body completely turned into a emerald green light and was completely absorbed into the body of the desert dragonfly.
No wonder people often say that time is the most terrible poison, which can destroy the original appearance of a hero. Since ancient times, famous generals are like beauties who are not allowed to grow old in the world.
Suicune watched as the once-invincible Desert Dragonfly died in front of him. Even though his power was inherited, he was dead after all. A generation of legend came to an end in this way, and Suicune, who was used to the separation of life and death, couldn't help but sigh.
But who says that the domineering desert dragonfly in the past is his true appearance? Perhaps the desert dragonfly that missed its master at the end is his true appearance. The desert dragonfly that followed its master and loved to laugh seems to have returned in the last second before his death.
Although the Desert Dragonfly's strength increased the fastest in the years after its master's death, after losing all its ties, it improved itself almost at the cost of its life, and gained extremely terrifying strength while leaving behind a large number of hidden injuries. It can be said to be the strongest under the first-level god.
But someone once said that when you are alone, you will walk very fast, but you will not go very far. The desert dragonfly was at the stage of walking very fast at that time, but in the end it did not reach the end.
After all traces of the old Desert Dragonfly's existence in the world disappeared, the light of evolution that emerged from the Desert Dragonfly finally dissipated. The Desert Dragonfly that finally appeared in front of Xiaozhi had not changed in appearance, but its body size had become much larger, almost the same as the original old Desert Dragonfly, and it was directly replaced by the Lord template.
Xiaozhi was also a little bit unbelievable when he saw this scene. After being unconscious for a while, he couldn't understand what had happened for a while. But after Suicune explained it to him, Xiaozhi finally understood the cause and effect.
"Is that so? Don't worry, we will be at the top." Xiaozhi murmured, his eyes filled with not only disbelief but also determination.
"Mienshao, are you willing to come with me? Let's realize the dream of Desert Dragonfly together!" Xiaozhi extended his right hand to Milotic, who was crying and had walked to the place where the old Desert Dragonfly was lying, and invited him to join him.
Because of Gongsun Yan's influence, Xiaozhi's timing and skills in talking nonsense have improved a lot. Once there is a chance to kidnap a Pokémon, he will never let it go easily. He will send an invitation first, and whether to accept it or not is another matter.
But even without Gongsun Yan's teaching, Xiaozhi still wouldn't just ignore Milotic. After all, the other party has been guarding the old Desert Dragonfly all the time so far. Now that the old Desert Dragonfly is gone, Xiaozhi will definitely give him a new life goal.
Besides, Gongsun Yan once told him that when a person dies alone, everything will disappear, his past, present life and future will disappear together. The same goes for Pokémon. No matter how strong the impression they have left, it will eventually fade away with the passage of time.
Xiaozhi couldn't change this, but he wanted the things that the old desert dragonfly left in the world to stay a little longer, even if it was just a little bit.
Milotic raised its head and looked at Xiaozhi deeply, then lowered its head, as if it didn't want to talk to Xiaozhi. It still lay where the old Desert Dragonfly was, trying to retain the rapidly dissipating temperature.
Xiaozhi was not annoyed when he saw this. Although he really wanted to capture Milotic, he also knew that a forced melon would not be sweet. The harvest this time was big enough, and not every Pokémon was willing to follow him.
After being rejected, Xiaozhi took a last look at the cave where the old Flycatcher lived, bowed deeply, turned around and left, and put both Flycatcher and Suicune into the Poké Ball.
After seeing Xiaozhi leave, Milotic looked up again in the direction Xiaozhi left. After hesitating for a long time, he looked at the cave with great nostalgia, and finally made up his mind to leave the cave.
As a result, Milotic, who had just left the cave, ran into Ash who had returned. Both of them were shocked. Just when Milotic thought that Ash was just playing hard to get and had guessed that he would catch up with him, so he was waiting for him at the entrance of the cave, Ash laughed awkwardly and said very embarrassedly.
"Um, sorry, I seem to be lost. Can you please take me out, Minas?"
Xiaozhi was feeling extremely socially dead right now. He had just left the cave in a cool way, but when he reached the water he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to write down the route. If he continued to walk around aimlessly it would be suicidal, so he turned back awkwardly and wanted to find Milotic to lead the way.
"Milu!"
After figuring out what was going on, Milotic gave Ash a cold look, pointed at the Poké Ball on Ash's waist, and then pointed at himself. Ash instantly understood what Milotic meant and said excitedly.
"Meinasi, do you agree?"
"Milu~"
Looking at the Poké Ball handed over by Xiaozhi, Milotic tilted its head proudly, but its tail honestly touched the Poké Ball and was finally taken into the Poké Ball.
"Den!"
With a crisp sound, the seventh Pokémon that Ash captured in the Hoenn region finally returned. Ash struck his usual pose to celebrate his capture of Milotica, but without Pikachu by his side, Ash always felt like something was missing.
In order to quickly go back to see Pikachu, Xiaozhi immediately prepared to release Milotic to lead the way. However, something unexpected happened. Xiaozhi's Pokémon had reached the limit, so the Milotic he had just captured was teleported to Dr. Odamaki's laboratory, where the location he was bound to in the Hoenn region was.
For a moment, the smile on Xiaozhi's face gradually stiffened. A song he was not familiar with echoed in his ears, and Xiaozhi couldn't help but shout out that classic line.
"no no!"
..........................................................................................
At this time, the people staying by the Dream Lake were resting themselves, because the previous pressure came too quickly, and everyone was completely unprepared for a moment, and some even fell flat on their faces.
That’s right, it’s our protagonist Gongsun Yan…the only, uh, now it seems to be the only son of Master Qianli, Xiaosheng. The couple just received news about it before.
In response, Gongsun Yan only wanted to say, "Master, you are so fast!"
Chapter 309: Man-eating Kyurem
When everyone finally recovered, the lake, which had been extremely calm, finally began to ripple again. Satoshi jumped out of the water on Suicune. It turned out that Suicune remembered the way they came and swam out with Satoshi.
"Hey, hello everyone. Did you just hold a wrestling match?" Xiaozhi looked at the dusty crowd and said something irrelevant.
"......Go!" Everyone looked at each other and went straight up to teach Xiaozhi a lesson. They had been living in fear here for so long, but Xiaozhi dared to make sarcastic remarks. This was simply intolerable.
However, the crowd just threw Xiaozhi to the ground, making him covered in dust, and no further action was taken. After all, they were all traveling companions, so they just wanted to have some fun and make some noise.
However, in the end, Xiaozhi couldn't escape the fate of being charred all over. Pikachu seemed to think that everyone was serious, so he used a 100,000-volt move, which hit Xiaozhi right on the body and successfully forced everyone back.
At this moment, Gongsun Yan seemed to see a bright red flag appearing behind Pikachu. Who taught Pikachu this standard Russian rescue method? As long as I kill my teammates first, he will not be killed by the enemy. It is reasonable.
Of course, Gongsun Yan was more inclined to believe that Pikachu was just venting his anger. After all, when Xiaozhi decided to go on an adventure, he did not take him with him. Even though Pikachu knew that Xiaozhi did it for his own good, he couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied. This 100,000-volt move successfully allowed Pikachu to vent his anger, so it was a good use of his ability.
After everyone had been playing like this for a while, they finally had time to sit down and have a good talk about what Xiaozhi saw when he followed Milotica into the lake, what that strange pressure was, and where Milotica had gone.
Xiaozhi also told everything he knew in detail, and everyone around him was amazed. They didn't expect that there was such a powerful desert dragonfly living here. Heihachiro and Akiko were also very surprised.
After hearing the ending of Old Desert Dragonfly, everyone sighed. A generation of king came to an end like this. He was so mighty and domineering when he was alive, but died in obscurity. Suddenly, an idea emerged in everyone's mind, perhaps dying in that snowy mountain was his best destination.
Gongsun Yan was also filled with regret, not because he missed out on this opportunity. Gongsun Yan was not so mean as to covet his companion's opportunity. It was just ironic that such a heroic Pokémon actually died on a hospital bed instead of on the battlefield.
"Sure enough, time is the most powerful assassin in the world. No one can escape his assassination." Gongsun Yan suddenly felt something. Although he is still young, having lived a lifetime, he has his own insights into life.
Whether it is parents, partners, children, childhood objects, or pets, they only occupy a period of time in life. Life will grow, become independent, leave, and disappear, and objects will be lost, damaged, and shattered.
Gongsun Yan is actually not a greedy person. It is a great blessing for him to be able to live again. Asking for something more would seem too ungrateful. Judging from the length of his life alone, he will definitely leave earlier than his Pokémon, but as long as he has a clear conscience, it is enough.
"What kind of Pokémon do you think is that one that easily defeated the Desert Dragonfly? I don't think I've ever heard of a Pokémon like that." Xiaosheng asked in confusion.
"This, I seem to have heard of it somewhere before. It seems to be somewhat similar to a Pokémon described in an ancient book, but I have long forgotten what was written in the book." Xiaogang looked thoughtful, but in the end he still couldn't remember what it was.
"Kyurem is an Ice and Dragon Pokémon. Legend has it that he is a Pokémon from the universe. He first appeared in an ancient legend in a town called Kagome. He seems to take away and eat humans and Pokémon in the town." Gongsun Yan silently read out Kyurem's basic information.
"What? It can eat people?!" Everyone present was shocked by what Gongsun Yan said about Kyurem being a cannibal.
"Hey, hey, what's with your reaction? Isn't it just eating people? Which legendary Pokémon doesn't eat people? Isn't it also said that Mewtwo, a Pokémon that can lead souls with nowhere to go to the spirit world, also eats people? You're all Pokémon trainers, so stop getting so jumpy, okay?"
Gongsun Yan was also somewhat helpless. The cannibalism in this legend must be discounted. In the legends left by the ancients, any Pokémon would eat people. Even the quasi-god Pokémon in each region were bloodthirsty. But now, aren't they getting along well with humans?
Gongsun Yan even suspected that the person who wrote this legend broke into the giant cave without permission and disturbed the Kyurem living inside. As a result, the grumpy Kyurem opened his mouth wide and yelled at him, telling him to get out. As a result, he misunderstood this scene as Kyurem was going to eat him.
As for the later story that Kyurem would enter the town to eat people and Pokémon, Gongsun Yan estimated that it was all the result of rumors spread by later generations. Legends are things that will become more and more mysterious as time goes by, just like Arcanine was mistaken for a mythical beast for a long time.
Of course, it is also possible that it was not just one person but many people who broke into the Giant Cave, but only one or several people escaped in the end, and the others were left in the Giant Cave, and these people did not come back in the end, so the survivors thought they had been eaten. After all, Kyurem does not look like a good Pokémon at first glance.
However, Gongsun Yan could only say that they were overthinking it. Not to mention that Kyurem did not need to eat and could survive by absorbing energy from the environment. It was not known whether he would get stomach upset if he ate humans. Which Pokémon would not get furious if its territory was invaded? Every year, more than a handful of trainers died in the territory of Gyarados in the League. They did not eat humans. The energy contained in the human body was not even as much as that in a tree fruit. It was not worth it.
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, everyone felt it made a lot of sense and were no longer afraid. As for why Gongsun Yan knew so many things, they no longer cared. Anyway, they could just ask Gongsun Yan if they had any questions about the legend.
Chapter 310 Disadvantages Begin to Emerge
After seeing that everyone's attention had been diverted, Gongsun Yan smiled helplessly. In fact, he felt quite sympathetic towards Kyurem. As the Dragon God, he was essentially just a otaku. He stayed at home honestly, but there were always inexplicable people running out to disturb him. After letting him leave, he was still slandered. It was simply like a dragon sitting in the house and the pot came from the sky.
To be honest, Gongsun Yan actually has a good impression of Kyurem. After all, Kyurem has the same characteristics as he did in his previous life. They both stay in one place and don't move, and they have a very good temper.
When Keldeo wanted to become a member of the Holy Swordsmen, he challenged Kyurem who lived in the abandoned mine in the arena. Kyurem was willing to fight Keldeo even though he knew that he had deceived him, and he let Keldeo win the whole time, feeding his opponent his moves.
Moreover, Kyurem attached great importance to the ritual of fighting. When the holy swordsmen wanted to intervene in the battle, they were directly frozen by him. Since the opponent himself did not admit defeat, no one else could make a decision for him.
After Keldeo gained the courage to fight him and protected his companions, Kyurem happily accepted Keldeo and saved the Holy Swordsmen. Keldeo and Satoshi and his crew finally returned to their cave without saying a word, looking like aloof heroes.
Although in the game, Kyurem, who is an ice and dragon type, has too many weaknesses, Gongsun Yan particularly likes to use him. As long as there is a war of gods, Kyurem will definitely appear in his team, but his winning rate is very touching.
Moreover, since Kyurem in the Pokémon world is the original body of the Dragon God, Reshiram and Zekrom were separated from him, so he can enter the Flame White Form or the Dark Form on his own without devouring either one, but his power will be weakened.
As for why Kyurem, who originally lived in the Giant Cave, appeared in the Arena Mine, Gongsun Yan specially checked the map and found that the two places were almost connected. It should be that Kyurem dug a tunnel and merged the two places together.
"But this Kyurem is too strong. The Desert Dragonfly is clearly capable of defeating the three sacred beasts at the same time, but it was almost killed instantly in front of him with one move. It's unbelievable." Xiaosheng couldn't help but sigh at how powerful Kyurem is.
The people around had the same idea. Gongsun Yan's eyes lit up after hearing this. If you say this, I won't be sleepy anymore. He immediately recounted all of Kyurem's battle achievements, looking like he was preaching.
Because Gongsun Yan was so excited, no one actually understood what Gongsun Yan said at all. But after hearing that Kyurem and Ho-Oh were evenly matched, they also understood how strong Kyurem was.
"I have to say, that Desert Dragonfly was really courting death. He could have challenged any other Level 1 God, but he chose Kyurem, who was four times more powerful than him. And the environment he was challenged in was a very harsh place like the snowy mountains. It seems that the death of the last person he was familiar with was a big blow to him!"
Gongsun Yan also sighed at the end. The Dragon-type and Ground-type Desert Dragonfly actually went to challenge the Ice-type and Dragon-type Kyurem. It seemed that he had already made up his mind to die at that time.
"Well, actually, I've always wanted to ask, Xiaoyan, what do you mean by the first-level gods and second-level gods?" Xiaoyao, who was listening at the side, asked Gongsun Yan in confusion.
"Um, didn't I tell you?" Gongsun Yan said in confusion.
"No." Everyone shook their heads.
"Okay, what I said is roughly the classification of the mythical beasts. The mythical beasts like Ho-Oh and Kyurem are classified as first-level gods by me. Their strength is enough to destroy an entire city in an instant. Except for Lugia, there is only one of them in this world."
