Chapter 133: Swordsman’s Challenge
“A misunderstanding?”
Terrakion growled, completely disbelieving such words, for all humans were the same!
“Stop, Terrakion!”
Cobalion, the leader of the Swordsmen, exuding an aura of calm, slowly stepped forward.
It looked at the human and Pokémon opposite them and, through what had just happened, suddenly realized that the relationship between this human and these Pokémon was not what they had imagined.
But Terrakion had seen too many instances of humans harming Pokémon; how could it easily believe?
“Don’t mind me, Cobalion!” Terrakion roared, its aura erupting as it charged at Lei Wen again.
Seeing this, Cobalion and Terrakion frowned slightly, but ultimately did not intervene further. They stood silently to the side, observing the situation.
“Can’t you just talk properly?” Lei Wen frowned. If that was the case, then he had nothing more to say!
“Serperior, Leaf Storm!”
Serperior leaped forward, energy surging through its body. Pure Grass-type energy condensed into a considerable Leaf Storm, which swept towards Terrakion.
Terrakion let out a roar and, with sheer brute force, charged directly into the Leaf Storm.
Blade-like leaves continuously ravaged, sweeping over Terrakion’s entire body. This move, which had no effect on Kyurem, left countless fine wounds on it!
Terrakion was slightly surprised.
If I can’t beat Kyurem, can’t I beat you?
In the game, the three Swordsmen led by Cobalion were all around Lv40, while Servine only evolved into Serperior at Lv36.
Furthermore, thousands of years separated this era from that future, meaning the current three Swordsmen had not yet reached the strength depicted in the anime!
Terrakion roared again within the storm, concentrating its Power on its head. It unleashed its strongest move, Sacred Sword, shattering the Leaf Storm.
However, Lei Wen had no intention of giving it an easy chance to get close.
“Serperior, Leaf Storm!”
A second Leaf Storm instantly swept towards Terrakion. This time, Terrakion attempted to cut it down with Sacred Sword again, but it was then horrified to discover that the power of this Leaf Storm had become even greater!
The wounds on its body increased, and they began to show signs of widening.
Terrakion dared not delay, immediately mobilizing its full strength, and unleashed Sacred Sword again, tearing it apart. It then looked at Lei Wen opposite it, panting.
“You wretched human! I won’t let you off easily today!”
Terrakion stomped on the ground, and instantly, countless shattered stones flew up, hovering around it.
Under Terrakion’s control, those shattered stones transformed into sharp Stone Blocks, flying towards Lei Wen and Serperior like a fierce rain.
But facing this attack, Lei Wen chose the same command.
“Serperior, Leaf Storm!”
For the third Leaf Storm, due to the Contrary ability, Serperior’s stats were greatly increased.
This meant that the power of each Leaf Storm would increase exponentially.
The green storm collided with the sharp stones, and they were locked in a stalemate, resulting in a violent explosion.
Terrakion had expected this to be a draw, but in the next second, it witnessed a scene of utter horror.
That green Leaf Storm, along with countless shattered stones, swept towards it!
“Ah—!”
Terrakion cried out in pain.
It fell to one knee, its body already covered in wounds.
Lei Wen stood calmly to the side, his gaze calmly watching the scene.
“Can you listen properly now?”
Terrakion was slightly taken aback.
“I have no ill intentions, and I have never done anything to harm Pokémon as you described.”
“I am Lei Wen, the Third Prince of the Aindook Kingdom, and I am currently working to create a place where humans and Pokémon can live together.”
As Lei Wen spoke, he took out the Full Restore developed by Lila from his bag and tossed it in front of Terrakion.
“Drink this, and your wounds will naturally heal.”
Upon hearing this, the three Swordsmen present were stunned.
Terrakion looked at the potion before it, gritted its teeth, and said, “Don’t think you can deceive us with such lies!”
Before Lei Wen could speak, the Dragonair beside him couldn’t help but exclaim loudly:
“Wooo!” （ What Lei Wen said is true! He led everyone to establish a place, and now many Pokémon and humans are living happily together there! ）
Larvesta: “Mera!” （ You bad guys! We never lied to anyone, nor did we provoke you, yet you attacked us the moment you saw us! ）
Pokémon… were actually speaking up for a human?
The three Swordsmen were slightly taken aback.
Lei Wen extinguished the bonfire. He didn’t have much time to waste and prepared to leave with his Pokémon to find some suitable Ice Type Pokémon for Special Training.
The Swordsmen watched his retreating back.
Cobalion, the leader, suddenly called out, “Wait!”
Lei Wen stopped and looked back.
“Are what you just said true?” Cobalion asked.
Lei Wen felt a bit tired: “If you want to know, come and see for yourself! Keep walking southwest, and you will find my Territory.”
Upon hearing this, the three Swordsmen now believed eight-tenths of what these Pokémon had just said.
“I don’t have that much time to waste with you,” Lei Wen said, looking intently at the three Pokémon. “This land is about to erupt in a war that will sweep across the entire region.”
“Zekrom and Reshiram stand behind the two main leaders of that war, and their Strength is no less than Kyurem’s.”
“If you want to protect Pokémon, you shouldn’t be wasting time here.”
Hearing this, Cobalion immediately understood.
“So, you are challenging Kyurem to borrow its Power?” it asked.
Lei Wen nodded, then turned and left.
The three Swordsmen were left standing there, gazing blankly at his retreating figure.
After a long while, the injured Terrakion staggered to its feet.
“This guy…”
Only when it could no longer see him did it lower its head and, as if venting its anger, bite the potion bottle and shatter it.
Instantly, the green liquid splashed into its mouth, and Terrakion instinctively swallowed.
And in the next second, a miraculous thing happened.
As the liquid entered its mouth, the wounds on its body began to heal at a visible rate!
Terrakion was slightly stunned.
Cobalion and Terrakion, who were standing calmly beside it, were also taken aback by this scene.
At that moment, they fully believed what the human had just said.
He… might not have been lying after all.
