Phi-Fic Chapter 1155 The Proud Dragon King
Chapter 1155 The Proud Dragon King
Chapter 1155 The Proud Dragon King
Dragon's Hometown is located in Hezhong.
Therefore, unlike the dragon tamers in Johto and Hoenn, the ancestral land did not build magnificent shrines.
There are only ancient temples and altars built of piled rocks here.
The crowd split into three groups.
The innermost layer belongs to the elders and the current and past dragon kings' dragon trainers, the middle layer belongs to the dragon trainers of the Dragon Village, and tourists from outside the area generally stand far away.
It wasn't that they didn't want to get closer; it was that Dragon Village required them to stand in this position.
As the most sacred place in the Dragon Village, the altar cannot be allowed to be too close to outsiders. Being able to witness the birth ceremony of the Dragon King is already an exception.
On the altar, three-headed dragons lay prostrate at the core.
Grandma Long, dressed in traditional clothing, silently recited ancient words. Her voice was initially filled with sorrow, but it quickly became passionate.
It's like singing a song, like celebrating.
call--
A gentle breeze blew from behind everyone.
The flowers, plants, and trees swayed violently, as if submitting to the altar.
"This isn't natural wind..."
"Nonsense! There's no such thing as a natural wind that blows in every direction!"
hushed conversations arose from the crowd, then quickly fell silent.
As a clear light gradually shone through the gaps between the altar and the ancient temple, a mysterious power appeared before everyone's eyes and converged towards the three-headed dragon.
Suddenly.
Everyone present seemed to hear faint cheers.
'The Dragon King has descended!'
A new Dragon King has been born!
May the land of dragons be peaceful and joyful, and may all things go smoothly!
The cheers were indistinguishable between men and women, seemingly coming from the mouths of thousands, and sounding like leaves rubbing, pebbles jumping, and grass clippings flying in unison.
hum!
Countless colorful emerald green stars leaped up.
They came from the earth, and with the commotion of the crowd, they flew toward the glowing altar, entered the three-headed dragon's body, and healed its injuries.
Not only it, but all the Pokémon that participated in the battle for the Dragon King and were injured were healed.
These faint starlight even seeped into the body of the cypress tree.
"Oh?"
Granny Long gave him a strange look.
This is the first time I've seen the healing light react to humans. Is this foreign dragon tamer so peculiar?
Granny Long couldn't help but look at the other Meteor Clan.
However, the abnormality seemed to only appear in Kashiwagi; Higana and the others were all normal.
Alice, who was closest to him, noticed this and asked in a low voice in surprise, "Kashiwagi, what's wrong with you?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know either."
Kashiwagi actually knew that it was mostly related to Arceus.
What he didn't know was that a similar situation had happened before, when he went to the planetary artery in Liuli City and retrieved two large bottles of water from it.
As it departed, a ray of light entered its body.
The ceremony is still ongoing.
Once all the Dragon Pokémon involved had recovered from their injuries, Hydreigon's body slowly rose up.
It is not moving on its own, but caused by an invisible force.
The light from the gap between the stone temple and the altar quickly converged towards the center, forming a towering pillar of light that engulfed the three-headed dragon!
Long!
The air vibrates.
As the cypress tree looked up, it could clearly sense the changes in the three-headed dragon.
This change has little to do with appearance; it's purely an internal upheaval, like an ordinary monster in a game being given an elite or even boss template.
However, its modeling remains unchanged.
The "planner" simply increased its value and added a special buff.
"Screech—!!"
A roar came from the pillar of light.
Without exception, all the dragon Pokémon present, including Iris's Haxorus, lowered their heads to submit to the newly crowned Dragon King.
No matter how fierce the battle is, once the Dragon King is chosen, respect must be shown to him!
Even the most ferocious dragon must abide by this law at this moment.
Just as living beings are born knowing how to eat, this instinct is etched deep into the souls of Pokémon born in the Land of Dragons.
The light beam converges.
The three-headed dragon, its appearance unchanged, gently flapped its wings and stopped in front of Kashiwagi, happily nudging his chest with its large head.
"Sigh~"
"Congratulations, you've gotten even stronger."
he said with a smile.
The Dragon King buff is permanent; at most, it will weaken if you leave the Dragon's Land.
But for the three-headed dragon now, every improvement is something to be happy about, no matter how insignificant it may be.
Without the external help of [Super Evolution], it must constantly improve itself in order to narrow the gap and defeat the two monsters ahead of it.
This will help to avoid widening the gap.
Grandma Long chanted a prayer, the ancient language of which seemed strangely familiar to Kashiwagi.
Did the calligrapher see it in his memory?
Maybe.
He didn't actually understand it, but it sounded somewhat familiar.
As the light went out, the onlookers gradually began to make noise.
"It's over? Wow, that was fast!"
How long do you want to last?
"I felt there wasn't anything particularly amazing about it. It's supposed to be a Dragon King's succession ceremony, so there should at least be some grand spectacle!"
"Don't overthink it. This isn't some kind of formalism; it's pragmatic."
The event, which was all talk and no action, left many expectant tourists disappointed.
They desperately wanted to witness some dramatic, visible change, such as the three-headed dragon suddenly growing to a hundred meters tall, or its appearance changing like a super evolution—
nothing.
Just like the previous Dragon King, the Double-Axe Dragon, it looks quite ordinary.
Of course, everyone knows that whether there will be any changes depends on the actual battle, but who can wait that long?
Let's have a real fight!
Many people were watching Alice and Kashiwagi intently, wanting them to practice using elemental energy in real combat with Haxorus and Hydreigon!
Unfortunately, it didn't work out.
The battle for the Dragon King is not only physically demanding for the dragon Pokémon, but also mentally exhausting.
Even if the body is successfully cured, the mental exhaustion will not lessen in the slightest.
The Dragon Village Festival has officially come to an end.
The dragons roared as they returned to their lair, eager to sleep and rest, while the few who had the remaining strength began to eat.
Kashiwagi and Alice also left. Although they seemed to have been watching the whole thing from the sidelines, they had actually used the Dragon Heart, which had also taken a lot of effort, so they were not in such a bad state that they collapsed on the spot.
But no one forced themselves to do it.
Fighting is a lifelong endeavor, why rush it?
This left the tourists, who had been eagerly anticipating the event, quite disappointed, and they had no choice but to continue browsing the various stalls at the festival.
-
B&B cabin.
The three-headed dragon is showing off to Bosscodora.
"Sigh~ Sigh!"
Now Dragon Village is its territory, and even a giant monster that has undergone super evolution might not be able to defeat it.
At least three of the dragons thought so.
It would occasionally steal a glance at Big Mouth Baby, seemingly making a veiled criticism.
The loud-mouthed kid, annoyed by the noise while watching the show, frowned and exclaimed, "Tch!!"
"..."
The three-headed dragon immediately shut its mouth.
The type advantage is really unreasonable. Why did God give it a type that is four times weaker than fairies?
And why is Mawile included in the trainer's team?
The three-headed dragon, completely oblivious to its newcomer, snorted and flew off to harass Kashiwagi, hoping he would head to Blueberry Academy sooner to resolve the issue of the Taijingzhu's attribute change.
Once its attributes change, it won't be afraid of Mawile!
The three-headed dragon had a very beautiful idea.
Bai Mu said, "What's the rush? We'll definitely go, but there's no need to rush."
The schedule is already arranged; we'll be going to the Blueberry Academy again in the second half of the year, which will be a good time to check on the growth of the black chestnuts.
If a new member of Ash's team can reach champion level within a year, then even if Ulquiorra is not good enough, he should at least be at the Champion level, right?
If not, then pretend I didn't say anything.
dong dong!
There was a knock on the door.
It was Higana who came to his door again, asking about his future plans.
"If you're planning to go to Hoenn, I'd appreciate it if you could take care of everyone. It's their second time flying, so they might be a little unaccustomed to it."
"Okay."
Kashiwagi agreed immediately.
He was indeed planning to visit Hoenn and keep his appointment there.
"Are you planning to continue pursuing Kyurem?"
"Yes."
Higanbana nodded. "Even if we can't catch it, it's good to see a rare Dragon-type Pokémon."
Actually, she would prefer to encounter Zekrom and Lehiram.
Compared to Kyurem's reputation as an evil dragon, these two dragon images, symbolizing ideals and reality, are more positive and better suited to her aspirations for dragon-type Pokémon.
However, they are even more elusive than Kyurem. Some time ago, Sigana went to Eindorok.
Legend has it that the Czechoslovakian and Lehiram appeared here and fought an extremely fierce battle, which ultimately led to the relocation of the main castle of Eindook.
They moved from the main urban area to another hilltop.
They disappeared without a trace after that, but she managed to find some clues about Kyurem by following the clues.
"come on!"
Kashiwagi sincerely cheered for her.
Xijiana smiled slightly, "Let's reach the eighth master level as soon as possible. I've heard that three champions have already become eighth masters."
three?
He checked his phone and was astonished to see the news that Carlos champion Karuni had defeated ninth-ranked Da Ye and successfully advanced to the eighth master position.
The third champion among the eight masters, following Dan Di and A Du.
Poor Da Ye.
Kashiwagi vaguely remembered that his ranking was always very high during the journey, but every time he was mentioned, it was always about losing to this person or that person.
They're the ones who get eaten up by the stronger ones!
He also saw Ai Lan, the young man who ranked seventh on the journey and was now ranked 38th in the advanced ball class. His amazing performances in several games had made him famous.
Did he miss the World Championships even though he missed the Carlos League?
Excuse me.
You probably won't get the position of one of the top eight masters this time.
Kashiwagi turned off his phone, made Higana a glass of juice, and the two chatted casually.
Outside.
Sigana's Salamence seemed a little uncomfortable.
The source is the three-headed dragon that looks down on it with contempt.
"Roar?"
Salamence asked Aggron about the other person's illness, saying that the young man was acting strangely.
The giant monster casually waved its claws.
Let it gloat for a few days. When has the three-headed dragon ever improved without doing this? We're used to it.
Salamence looked at him with pity. It didn't remember much about Hydreigon, only that it was very powerful and had a terrible temper.
It's like you're the one with a very good temper!
Salamence was actually a bit overwhelmed by Husky's provocation; it wanted to show the other what the "bad" in Salamence's name meant.
Unfortunately, the dragon tamer was drinking tea inside, and it didn't want to cause trouble for Higana.
Forbearance!
The Salamence turned its body.
The three-headed dragon let out a cold snort, "Thud!"
Weak dragon!
It's now very arrogant; the Dragon's Homeland buff has unleashed its inherent arrogance, bringing it to the fore.
Its vicious nature also stems from its disdain for other Pokémon.
It's just that it didn't have the strength before, which forced it to be more restrained and appear somewhat indifferent.
In reality, it's eager to lash out at all the annoying guys!
This can be seen from Hydreigon's relentless attacks on Aggron and its occasional provocations of Mawile.
What we're after is constantly testing the limits of what's acceptable!
The three-headed dragon decided to inspect its "territory".
Platinum Silver Mountain, is that yours?
Dragon's Home is mine!
"Sigh!"
The three-headed dragon flew away arrogantly.
Bosscodora was speechless; it had never expected a young dragon to be as mature as an adult or even an old dragon.
It's normal to like to show your teeth.
evening.
Dragon Village sent someone to invite Kashiwagi to the banquet.
Alice wore her champion's gown, looking both charming and heroic.
"Kashiwagi, what do you think of my outfit? Don't I look handsome?"
She spun around in place.
Kashiwagi nodded and said, "It really suits you; you have a very queenly aura."
"Really? Right?"
Alice was pleased with his compliment.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flew out from her sleeve and lunged at Kashiwagi's face, "Li ma~"
"Huh? It's you."
He caught it quickly and discovered it was Alice's conductive flying mouse.
The two first met because he got separated from Alice, and Electro-Mouse has always been very fond of him, his savior.
Ok.
He's handsome, gentle, and a great cook.
If it weren't for Alice's kindness, the conductive flying mouse would have considered switching jobs!
"Li ma~ Li ma~"
The conductive flying squirrel gently rubbed against Kashiwagi's palm, making Alice a little jealous, as she rarely saw it acting cute!
These two partners actually have some similarities in personality; they are both very strong-willed and unwilling to back down easily, and they also have wildly imaginative ideas and a habit of doing things their own way.
"Come back!"
She snatched the electric flying mouse back.
The conductive flying squirrel broke free from Kashiwagi's embrace and saw that it was the jealous Alice. Instead of backing down, it turned its head away and sulked, grumbling to herself.
Kashiwagi laughed heartily, "You guys are really funny."
It's normal for Pokémon and their trainers to become similar, but very few start out being similar.
They are a match made in heaven!
The banquet continued.
Kashiwagi exchanged ideas with many dragon trainers from Dragon Village, sharing their experiences in raising Dragon-type Pokémon.
His generosity in answering questions earned him great admiration from everyone.
The dragon trainers in Dragon Village initially thought Kashiwagi was a difficult person to get along with—at least that's how he seemed.
I never imagined that appearances could be so deceiving!
Kashiwagi, who became a guest of honor on his own, also gained a lot of inspiration from the words of others.
I believe that even if the three-headed dragon leaves the land of dragons and loses most of its blessings, it will surely be able to increase its power again in the future.
The wonderful banquet continued into the early hours of the morning.
-
The next day.
The sky is bright.
Cypress, bilberry, and Wanlong bid farewell outside the Dragon Village.
"We heard that Miss Zhulan is going to Lianyi Town to escape the summer heat soon, so we're going to go there to find her and gather information."
"Is Champion Bamboo Orchid going to Rippling Town?"
He was somewhat tempted.
But after thinking it over carefully, he didn't follow.
As long as I continue to participate in the World Championships, I will meet Zhu Lan sooner or later, so there's no rush.
"See you soon!"
"See you again someday!"
Suddenly, Lanju threw a coin at him, saying, "This is a prize you won. Keep it as a souvenir."
Kashiwa caught the coin with a puzzled look and examined its design.
Very rustic.
It must have been around for a very long time, right?
The Pokémon world is similar to Europe in its previous life, where countless dynasties rose and fell in history, and there are so many different kinds of coins that it's dazzling.
"Thanks."
He accepted the gift.
The two Heavenly Kings left, and the sound of their conversation could be faintly heard.
"You gambled again?"
"A little gambling is harmless fun~ just a little stake~"
