Chapter 138: Kyurem’s Dragon Origin, Dragonite Evolves, The True 【dragon】!
Despite Kyurem holding back considerably, it is a legendary Pokémon, the most powerful in the Unova Region.
Coupled with Serperior’s already battered state, it finally fell, losing its ability to battle.
Lei Wen was not discouraged or disheartened by this outcome.
This was because he and Serperior had done their best, and judging from Serperior’s performance just now, the battle against Kyurem had yielded a great deal of experience.
Lei Wen stepped forward and patted Serperior’s head.
Serperior weakly opened its eyes.
“You’ve worked hard, Serperior,” Lei Wen said softly, “You’ve done very well. Now, get some good rest!”
Serperior let out a soft chirp and voluntarily returned to its Poké Ball to rest.
Kyurem stood not far away, watching the scene with an ice-cold expression.
Lei Wen put away Serperior’s Poké Ball and then took out a second one.
“Kyurem, please continue to guide me!”
As the words fell, Dragonair’s elegant and slender figure flew out of the Poké Ball.
The second battle, Dragonair vs. Kyurem, officially began!
Dragonair looked at the dragon opposite it, and the scene from last time flashed through its mind.
At that time, it had only been out of its Poké Ball for a short while before being frozen by the opponent’s move.
“Learn from your mistakes.”
Cobalion’s guidance echoed in its mind, and Dragonair’s gaze suddenly became firm.
Kyurem noticed the change in Dragonair, narrowed its eyes, and let out a low growl.
“Mmm…”
Knowing that Kyurem was going easy on them, Lei Wen grew bolder, wanting to see just how big the gap was between Dragonair’s current strength and that of a true legendary dragon.
“Dragonair, Dragon Tail!”
At the command, a layer of dragon energy appeared on Dragonair’s tail, and it swung its tail forcefully towards Kyurem.
“Dragon Tail, is it? In that case, I shall use this move as well!”
Kyurem roared and turned its massive body, a thick and powerful tail meeting Dragonair’s Dragon Tail.
The two dragon tails, one large and one small, collided fiercely in mid-air. However, compared to Kyurem, Dragonair’s strength was still considerably weaker, and it was quickly outmatched, sent flying.
“As expected, the power difference is still too great?” Lei Wen quickly changed his strategy: “Agility!”
“Hmph.”
Kyurem snorted coldly and spat out a scorching beam of light.
Using its flight ability and the speed boost from Agility, Dragonair rapidly circled the Ice Arena, evading Kyurem’s attacks while counter-attacking with Dragon Rush under Lei Wen’s command.
But facing Dragonair’s Dragon Rush, Kyurem merely gazed coldly. It fiercely swung its Dragon Claw towards Dragonair, which was emitting a terrifying aura.
Dragonair cried out in pain and was sent flying backward.
“Weak… too weak!” Kyurem stared dominantly at Dragonair on the ice surface, then leaped into the air, its massive body hovering.
In the next moment, an incredibly immense energy surged from its body.
“Now, let me show you what a true dragon is!” Kyurem roared.
Instantly, a terrifying dragon aura erupted from its body, covering the entire cave like a massive wave in the sea.
The powerful and dense dragon origin instantly engulfed Dragonair.
Dragonair’s face turned pale; it felt an immense pressure… its opponent’s dragon power far surpassed its own!
But Lei Wen sensed a different implication.
Kyurem, while seemingly attacking, had not actually used any moves, instead appearing to be waiting for something.
“Dragonair!” Lei Wen suddenly realized Kyurem’s intention: “Feel that dragon power properly!”
“Wuuu—”
Dragonair gritted its teeth, struggling to overcome the intense pressure.
It couldn’t fall yet!
For Lei Wen—to protect Lei Wen and help him achieve his goal, it had to become an even stronger Pokémon!
All the past memories flashed through Dragonair’s mind.
Lei Wen shielding it from blizzards, Lei Wen roasting marshmallows by the fireplace with it, Lei Wen’s praise when it caught a fish, Lei Wen’s anticipation during its molting, and… the countless nights they slept embraced.
At this moment.
Through Lei Wen’s relentless, devilish special training over months, under the guidance of the three Swordsmen, and amidst Kyurem’s overwhelming pressure.
Dragonair’s body erupted in a brilliant and dazzling light.
That was…!
From outside the arena, the three Swordsmen’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Kyurem’s usually impassive gaze showed a flicker of emotion.
Good, very good, it had finally seen what it wanted to see!
Within the light, Dragonair’s body rapidly transformed.
Its originally slender and graceful body gradually became more rounded, developing sturdy limbs. Its entire body turned orange, with two long, thin antennae and a small dragon horn atop its head.
Two pairs of winged membranes grew from its back, and a thick, powerful dragon tail swayed slowly behind it.
Wisps of purple energy swirled around Dragonair, pure dragon energy released by Kyurem, now flowing ceaselessly into Dragonair’s body.
No, it could no longer be called Dragonair.
It was Dragonite, a kind-hearted and powerful pseudo-legendary!
As the evolution slowly receded, a pair of clear, black, and bright dragon eyes slowly opened.
They contained an incredibly firm belief, just as Lei Wen had always upheld.
Dragonite looked towards Kyurem.
Kyurem’s ancient and profound voice echoed through the land.
“You have arrived… Dragon of the unwavering belief… this is your true power!”
Kyurem felt a power originating from this Dragonite that was the same as Lei Wen’s.
It let out an excited roar: “To unleash true power is to engage in a true battle!”
“Wuu!” Dragonite let out a determined cry.
This time, Dragonite’s body exploded with an unmatched dragon aura as it charged towards Kyurem.
Kyurem looked up at Dragonite, its mouth surging with energy, pure dragon energy forming a shockwave that met Dragonite head-on.
In the next second, Dragon Pulse collided with Dragonite.
Even facing this legendary Dragon Pulse, Dragonite showed no fear.
“Very good, that’s it, Dragonite!” Lei Wen was also incredibly excited.
Hearing Lei Wen’s voice, Dragonite’s gaze grew more resolute, and its body gradually exerted force, pushing Kyurem’s Dragon Pulse back little by little.
Dragonite—broke through Kyurem’s Dragon Pulse!
Seeing this, Kyurem’s pupils contracted.
At this moment, it felt an incredibly strong belief from both Dragonite and Lei Wen!
That belief… was subtly flowing into its body, filling the void within its shell!
Feeling a slight surge of strength within its body, Kyurem became momentarily dazed.
And in the next second, Dragon Pulse was completely overcome.
Dragonite, surrounded by a terrifying aura, slammed into Kyurem’s massive body, sending it staggering back several meters.
“What is that…!”
Outside the arena, Terrakion, Virizion, and Cobalion, who witnessed this scene, had their eyes flashing and expressions of shock on their faces.
