What Ghost-type mythical beast could it be?
Doubt and confusion filled Lu Li's heart.
The currently known Ghost-type mythical beasts are Giratina, Marshadow, Spectrier, and Lunala.
First, we can rule out Giratina.
If Giratina were to appear, the world would have to restart. Lunala can also be excluded; as the Beast of the Invitation to the Moon, its appearance should be marked by a lunar eclipse.
That leaves only Marshadow and Spectrier. Spectrier is unlikely to appear in the Kyushu region, so after eliminating all the incorrect options, only one truth remains.
Marshadow!
The only possibility for Marshadow's appearance is that the Rainbow Hero might be about to bite the dust. Of course, it's also possible that the Rainbow Hero has already passed Ho-Oh's trial.
The latter is also unlikely, considering Ho-Oh only recently appeared, and the Rainbow Hero was only just identified. How could they have passed the trial so quickly?
So…
Having roughly guessed the truth, Lu Li's expression instantly turned strange.
If nothing else goes wrong, that Rainbow Hero must have also participated in this competition, and may even be targeted, leading to a crisis that can only be resolved by Marshadow's appearance.
But whether it's the former or the latter, Lu Li felt that it probably had little to do with him.
Now that this terrifying shadow world has disappeared, it means Marshadow should have left, making this even less relevant to him.
Marshadow doesn't have a high profile in the games and anime, but in this world, it is a true god.
Don't joke about gods. All below gods are mere ants. This saying isn't just for show.
As the shadow world disappeared, Gardevoir's voice echoed in Lu Li's mind.
"Lu Li, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. What was that just now?" Lu Li asked, feigning confusion.
Gardevoir explained, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be Marshadow, the legendary ruler of the shadow world."
"What exactly happened to disturb such an existence?" Lu Li asked in surprise.
"The Progression Society foolishly attacked Ho-Oh's envoy, and you saw the result," Gardevoir said with a hint of sarcasm.
Throughout human history, many envoys of gods have appeared, but the most enviable is still Ho-Oh's envoy because their protection is genuine.
It's no exaggeration to say that the Rainbow Hero cannot die before reaching the summit. This alone is enough to make all other envoys envious.
"Alright, as long as you're okay. I'm about to finish up here too, so I'll hang up first," Gardevoir said before severing the mental connection.
At arena number one.
Yu Zhonggang shouted, "Aggron! Heavy Slam!"
Aggron charged towards the opposing Pokémon like a high-speed train.
The Elite Four-level trainer from the Yamato region commanded, "Hitmonlee, endure it, then Low Sweep!"
Upon receiving the order, Hitmonlee first used Quick Guard to block Aggron's Heavy Slam, then followed up with Low Sweep, knocking the clumsy Aggron off its feet.
Rumble!
A giant, net-like crater appeared where Aggron crashed.
Miyamoto Budo sneered, "Just an early-stage Elite Four. How dare you come here?"
Miyamoto Budo was practically fighting on two fronts, having to guard against another Elite Four-level trainer while also directing Hitmonlee to deal with Yu Zhonggang, the new Elite Four.
But even facing two opponents simultaneously, Miyamoto Budo still seemed to be handling it with ease.
The Fighting-type Hitmonlee could deal four times the damage to Aggron. Yu Zhonggang had truly run into his nemesis.
Yu Zhonggang stared at the Aggron knocked to the ground, his face ashen.
His previous sense of invincibility vanished instantly.
Yu Zhonggang never expected to be so brutally beaten just after entering the Elite Four.
Yu Zhonggang could only encourage, "Aggron! Stand up! I believe in you!"
Yu Zhonggang didn't dare to send other Pokémon to help because there were other Pokémon around eyeing him covetously. If he dared to send out a Pokémon, those gym leaders would pounce on him.
Hearing his trainer's call, Aggron swayed and stood up.
Hitmonlee's four-times damage was indeed fatal, but Aggron was also known for its resilience.
Coming from a humble background, Yu Zhonggang knew how to assess the situation. After being brutally beaten by Miyamoto Budo, Yu Zhonggang realized he had been tricked.
There were definitely more than just him watching the match today, and there were definitely more than just him who received the League's mandatory summons.
But the fact that he was the only one who actually came to help!
"These damned bastards! Are they not afraid of the League settling accounts later?" Yu Zhonggang cursed angrily in his heart.
Realizing that this was a trap and that he had foolishly jumped into it, Yu Zhonggang began to consider how to escape.
Two Champion-level Pokémon were fighting, and six veteran Elite Four-level trainers were making the battle even harder.
Yu Zhonggang realized that a new Elite Four like him was also in great danger in such a situation.
He came to help entirely to protect his gym leader position. He had no intention of risking his life for them.
With a cruel determination, Yu Zhonggang gritted his teeth and said, "Aggron, use Stomping Tantrum!"
Hearing this, the surrounding trainers' expressions changed drastically.
"Holy crap! Yu Zhonggang, are you out of your mind?"
"Yu Zhonggang! The League called you here to help, not to sabotage!"
"Damn it!"
At that moment, both sides seemed to have found a common enemy. Curses and condemnations poured towards Yu Zhonggang as if a switch had been flipped.
Yu Zhonggang remained unmoved and had even secretly ordered Bronzong to use Teleport to escape.
Rumble!!!
As Aggron's feet landed heavily, the entire ground shook violently, and the previously indestructible foundation began to crumble.
First, it was tiles, then cement slabs, falling down recklessly. Eventually, the entire arena was enveloped in a cloud of murky dust.
Yu Zhonggang quickly recalled Aggron and ordered, "Bronzong, Teleport, let's get out of here, to find…"
Before Yu Zhonggang could finish speaking, a slash suddenly attacked.
Completely unprepared, Yu Zhonggang was instantly cut in half at the waist, while his lower body was taken away by Bronzong.
Before his consciousness faded, Yu Zhonggang looked at the figure in front of him in disbelief.
It was an Elite Four-level Scizor. Yu Zhonggang couldn't understand how this Scizor had accurately located him in the dust.
"That's right! Scizor's ability is Swarm." Thinking of this, Yu Zhonggang closed his eyes full of regret.
He should have participated in other protection missions, such as guarding the League's treasury.
Why did he come here?
Of course, it was to make a good impression.
Being able to make a good impression on the future Ideal Envoy, he would be able to get credit for following the dragon when the future Ideal Envoy ruled the Eastern Hemisphere.
This was the greatest benefit. At the very least, he would be able to gain the favor of the Leng and Lei families, two of the eighteen major attribute families, and he would get the pseudo-legendary Pokémon he wanted.
So, in the end, greed blinded Yu Zhonggang.
He was thinking not only of the League's benefits, but also of the Leng family, the Lei family, and even the Ideal Envoy's benefits.
The facts had already proven that his Elite Four-level strength was not enough to support such a large appetite.
This was a case of being too greedy!
"Not good!"
A terrified voice cried out. It was the voice of the Lei family's Elite Four-level trainer.
"Ah!"
Lei En's scream rang out. He could clearly feel his body twisting continuously.
No! This shouldn't be my future!
Lei En could clearly feel the death star above his head flickering.
Since awakening the power of ideals, Lei En had lost himself in the beauty of the ideal future he had repeatedly and accurately predicted.
He had completely forgotten that the future predicted by the power of ideals was only the most ideal future, not the absolute future.
"I should be standing on the podium, proclaiming my grand ideals to the world, and then using the power of ideals to awaken the Ideal Dragon, becoming the new envoy of the gods…"
"Why? Why would I fall here? This shouldn't be my future!"
The latest novels are available on !
Filled with endless unwillingness and doubt, Lei En continuously spat out blood and then closed his eyes in despair.
A gust of wind surged, blowing away all the dust. Lei En, who was still struggling in the hands of a group of new trainers, had been beaten into a pretzel.
Literally a pretzel.
A knot that would be made out of long grass and flesh twisted together.
Grass Knot was actually not a common move. As a Grass-type special move, Grass Knot's power was actually not great, and its functionality was not as good as its alternative moves.
But it was this move that took away the life of a divine envoy.
The Ideal Envoy was not the Rainbow Hero, and the Ideal Dragon could not give its hero an immortality cheat, so Lei En was not qualified to play a revival match.
Moreover, Lei En's identity as the Ideal Envoy was only a reserve.
Miyamoto Budo was overjoyed to see Lei En's tragic death. After glancing at the Lei family's Elite Four-level trainer, who looked as if their parents had died, Miyamoto Budo quickly ordered, "The plan is successful! Send the signal, let's go!"
A flare soared into the sky!
Although the flare did not penetrate the energy shield, the trainers inside the Pokémon Center saw this scene.
In the ecological park, the Black Knight directly ordered after seeing the flare, "Prepare to retreat!"
Outside the vault.
The White Queen looked at the vault with reluctance. Although they had successfully broken through the outer circle of the vault, they had not successfully entered the second circle and the core circle.
We didn't even get a single one of the truly valuable inheritances and divine objects.
"Damn it! We retreat!" The White Queen gritted her teeth.
…………
Yu Lili stared blankly at Yu Zhonggang's lower body.
Although the part above the waist of this corpse had disappeared, Yu Lili recognized it at a glance as the lower half of her father's body.
As for why she was so sure?
Of course, it was because of the Poké Balls on his waist and the Bronzong next to the corpse.
The Poké Balls flashed, and the Pokémon inside jumped out on their own accord.
All the Pokémon looked at the corpse in sorrow.
The Elite Four-level Scizor's Air Slash was too fast, so fast that even they didn't react before their trainer died.
Lu Li silently watched the crying girl.
Yu Zhonggang had died just like that, and so tragically.
To be honest, Lu Li didn't feel much sadness in his heart, only pure heartache for Yu Lili.
After all, his gratitude towards Yu Zhonggang had vanished under the other party's repeated annoying actions.
Unlike Yu Lili, whose mind was blank, Lu Li was much more rational.
"Where's Aggron?" Lu Li asked, frowning.
The Bronzong, with a sorrowful face, glared fiercely at Lu Li. Lu Li met the other party's gaze expressionlessly and reminded coldly, "You can be sad, but I believe your trainer would rather see you continue to protect his daughter."
Hearing this, Bronzong looked at the crying Yu Lili with sadness.
"In the trainer's hands."
Hearing this, Lu Li raised an eyebrow, "Are you saying that Aggron's Poké Ball is now in your trainer's hands?"
Bronzong nodded.
If Aggron hadn't been injured, it should have been able to use Protect to block that slash. If it could break through to the Elite Four level, it would also be able to block that attack for its trainer.
Unfortunately, that 'if' didn't exist.
Bronzong added, "And I won't take you there. It's too dangerous."
Although their hearts were now filled with sadness and sorrow, Bronzong had not forgotten its trainer's instructions to them.
Now they only have one mission in life, which is to protect the trainer's only bloodline.
Hearing this, Lu Li opened his mouth, but it eventually turned into a sigh.
"Lady Gardevoir, how is area number one?" Lu Li asked through mental connection.
"Ah! Lei En wasn't killed by me," Gardevoir denied almost instinctively.
Lu Li: "???"
Realizing what she had said, Gardevoir quickly said, "Lei En is already dead. Both sides have withdrawn from there, but I don't recommend you go there now. It's about to become the center of a storm, and I have to leave too, and so do you."
Lu Li suspected that the other party might have revealed something, but he didn't dwell on it.
What he cared about was that his sugar daddy was leaving.
If he didn't follow, Gardevoir might really leave him here.
