Chapter 317: The Secret Inheritor of the Speedy Dragon Cave Trial, Xijiana
Chapter 317 Dragon Lair Trial·The Secret of Speed·Inheriter Shijana
“It’s so awesome and cool!”
Alice's eyes sparkled with dazzling light. At this moment, she realized more deeply what a battle between top trainers was.
Regardless of the water stains left by the heavy rain on the ground, Zhulan squatted down and looked directly at Alice with her beautiful gray eyes.
"Alice, be sure to keep this in mind. It will be of great help to you in the future."
This knowledge and experience will help Alice avoid many detours. As a clear goal, Alice will have enough motivation to pursue it.
Dorasena held up the cotton wings of the Tanabata Blue Bird with a distressed look on her face: "It's all soaked now. It needs to be dried."
Although the Qixi Bluebird's cotton wings can deflect many attacks, they are still a bit inconvenient as they droop when exposed to water.
The Tanabata Blue Bird temporarily took back the Poke Ball, and looked at the two, two, and three groups gathered around, sighing that it was a feast for the eyes. The trainers discussing the details of the battle, Dora Sena came to Zhulan and Alice, squinting and smiling. Asked: "Miss Zhulan, what do you think of this battle?"
Zhulan paused and looked towards Luo Mu and Xiaozhuang.
At this time, Xiaozhuang had handed over the Thorny Dragon King to the therapist of the Yulong clan, and Luo Mu was personally treating Kuailong's minor injuries. Judging from his skillful techniques, it was clear that he must have done these things frequently.
I don't know whether Kuailong was stimulated by the coolness brought by the wound medicine, or whether it was intentional. His huge body fell directly towards the unsuspecting Luo Mu and threw himself directly into the puddle.
Feeling the coolness and moisture on his back, Luo Mu made a serious face and asked Kuailong to get up quickly, but Kuailong hugged Luo Mu tightly like a baby, and no matter how hard Luo Mu struggled, he wouldn't let him get up. The aggrieved expression made Luo Mu feel angry and had nothing to do.
The Monarch Snake on the side looked on coldly, as if I didn't recognize these two guys who like to roll in puddles.
Seeing this scene of people and Pokémon coexisting in harmony, Zhulan's delicate side face raised a smile and said: "It's beyond my imagination, a great battle, Ms. Dora Sena."
"Is that so~"
Dora Sena still had that leisurely tone, but neither Zhulan nor Alice, who was too low in altitude, noticed that at a certain moment, Dora Sena's eyes that had been narrowed opened.
Dorasena's sharp gaze swept over Zhulan, and finally rested on her burning eyes looking at Luo Mu and Kuailong over there.
In Dorasena's view, what ignites in Zhulan's eyes is the burning fighting spirit, respect for the strong, and the self-confidence cultivated in countless battles.
The goddess of battle in the Sinnoh region was filled with the desire to target Luo Mu and Kuailong at this moment, wanting to fight them and win.
Not a trace of confusion.
At this time, Zhulan was eager to fight Luo Mu, but she knew that now was not the time, at least not tonight, so her reason firmly suppressed this desire.
Even Dora Sena admires this kind of self-control for this Zhulan who is of the same lineage as her ancestors.
but
"You are still a young man after all. It's so easy to understand~"
Dorasena whispered in a voice that only she could hear, and a moment of anticipation flashed in her eyes that were not cloudy at all.
She felt more reassured than ever before when she handed over the future of the alliance to the younger generation like Luo Mu, Zhulan and Xiaozhuang.
Shortly after the battle between Luo Mu and Xiaozhuang ended, the battle between Adu and Xia Ka also ended successfully.
The final result was naturally that A'Du won, but Xia Ka's difficulty was beyond A'Du's expectation. As a result, he obviously started the battle first, but ended it later than the battle between Luo Mu and Xiao Zhuang. It made him feel like he had lost the distance competition with Luo Mu.
As for Xiao Zhuang who lost the battle, A'Du would only wish his deceitful cousin success.
Xia Ka's strength is undoubtedly much stronger than that of Xiao Zhuang. A'Du remembers that someone mentioned to him that even in the Hezhong Alliance, the current group of young Four Heavenly Kings will address each other respectfully when they see Xia Ka. A sentence from Shaka senior.
This is not respect for seniority, but respect for the strength of Shaka, the mainstay of the United Alliance.
Although Xia Ka was stronger than Xiao Zhuang, the battle between him and Xia Ka was much earlier than the battle between Luo Mu and Xiao Zhuang. In a sense, A'du felt that he had indeed lost.
But a loss is a loss. Yulongdu will not stop because of a defeat. He will only hope to defeat Luo Mu in the next competition, but at least there is no chance tonight.
After all, it was almost late at night, and it was time for the guests to return to the high-end hotel arranged by the Yulong clan to rest.
As the pick-up cars drove away one after another, A'du quietly stared at the silent manor. This silence made the noise just now seem like it was just a dream.
But the hot beating heart in his heart would not lie. A'Du touched his heart and murmured: "The plan proposed by the Galar region seems to be worth considering."
On the other side, after bidding farewell to Xiaozhuang, Zhulan, Xia Ka, Alice and Dora Sena, Luo Mu took a black car to the high-end hotel prepared by the Yulong clan.
The first thing after entering the house, Luo Mu ran directly to the bathroom, took off his dirty clothes due to Kuailong, the instigator, and happily took a hot bath.
After he left the bathroom, humming an indistinct song, and putting on his bathrobe, Luo Mu looked at the wonderful night view outside the huge French window. He recalled the glimpse of the battle scene next door when he was helping Dragonite heal the minor injuries after the battle.
That was when the battle reached a white-hot stage, when Adu's Dragonite and Shaka's Double Axe War Dragon did not give in and fought fiercely with "bayonet".
Shaka's Double Axe War Dragon had bloodshot eyes and was covered with an ominous red halo. He undoubtedly released the "Reverse Scale" move.
"Reverse Scale" is the same as "Meteor Shower". It is also a move that has certain side effects in exchange for explosive power.
Once the ordinary dragon attribute Pokémon activates the reverse scale, its sanity will fall, and it will become a reckless fighting machine, only wanting to defeat the enemy in front of it, and not caring whether it will be injured.
Only dragon-type Pokémon that have mastered the Reverse Scale move and will not lose their mind can be called independent, and Shaka's Dragonite is fighting while maintaining reason and suppressing tyranny, using the super-large power increase brought by the Reverse Scale.
Even with the side effects, the Reverse Scale did allow the Dragonite to be comparable to Dragonite in the field of strength for a period of time.
This reminded Luo Mu of the Dragonite of Alice who used the Reverse Scale to resist the Mega Garchomp Meteor Swarm of Bamboo Orchid in the World Championship.
Even so, Shaka's Dragonite was still at a disadvantage when facing Adu's Dragonite.
The reason is that in addition to the strength of Adu's Dragonite to fight against the Reverse Scale Dragonite, the speed and agility are also full.
The Dragonite used some kind of technique to maintain a state of lightning speed in the battle, and greatly increased its speed with this powerful first move.
Facing the Double Axe War Dragon with its double axes raised, Dragonite with a green glow on its body would often use a faster dragon claw to cut it back, or dodge the attack of the Double Axe War Dragon, which was rational but far less accurate than its normal state, and then hit it with another knife.
But according to Luo Mu's observation, that skill did not seem to be particularly excessive. At least when it came to Adu's strength, his Dragonite still entered that state only when fighting against the reverse scale.
When the reverse scale of the Double Axe War Dragon was over, the speed used by Dragonite was still that super fast and serious collision.
Even though there may be some defects and limitations, Luo Mu believes that the enhancement brought by this special use of speed is enough to prove its value as a secret book passed down from generation to generation by the dragon family.
Luo Mu still remembers that in the League Conference exhibition match in Pokémon Sun and Moon, Kukui's Lucario used a skill similar to this one, relying on this trick to dodge the attack of the extremely fast Ultra Beast Four Jaw Needle Dragon, causing very good damage.
But there is still a big gap between that move and the one Luo Mu saw Adu use. At least Lucario can't use other moves in the super speed state, but Dragonite can use Dragon Claw, Dragon Wave and even Destruction Light at will.
Considering that Kukui had been defeated by Adu before, and Kukui's research direction as a Pokémon doctor is Pokémon battles and moves, everything can be understood.
Relying on his own research ability, Kukui forcibly copied the super speed skills used by Adu Dragonite on Lucario, but because it was just a copycat, it had the form but no spirit.
Although he had already prepared for this aspect, the scene in today's battle that Dragonite was not fast enough because it could not accelerate as much as possible and could not catch up with the Thorn Dragon King was still deeply engraved in Luo Mu's mind.
President Ye Ci was right. As long as he learned the super speed skills of the dragon family, Dragonite's combat power, which began to expand because of Lugia, would reach a new peak.
"It seems that the so-called hidden trial must be passed."
The next day.
Today is July 1st, a new month, very suitable for new progress in strength.
When Luo Mu finished washing, put on the dried clothes and opened the door of the room, four figures appeared in his sight as if they had been waiting for a long time.
"Good morning, Brother Luo Mu!"
Alice rushed over excitedly, as if she had been looking forward to today for a long time.
"Good morning, Alice."
Luo Mu smiled and touched her head. Usually, when someone touched her head, she would pout and mutter something like "Don't touch my head", but Alice, who would not grow tall, did not show any dissatisfaction.
This hit Xia Ka, who had already taken the blame and invited Adu to wrestle privately before leaving, but was rejected by the other party with a weird look on his face.
This little girl has completely two different faces to herself and Luo Mu.
After greeting Alice, Luo Mu looked up at Zhulan, Dorasena and Xia Ka, and greeted them one by one.
"Good morning." Zhulan nodded, and then invited: "Would you like to have breakfast with us? There is still plenty of time before the Dragon Cave Trial starts."
Alice also touched her stomach, looking patient: "I'm a little hungry too."
Luo Mu, who had originally planned to have breakfast, naturally had no reason to refuse Zhulan's invitation. He nodded, followed them to the hotel restaurant in the elevator, and enjoyed a delicious breakfast.
As for how many more forehead wrinkles Shaka had on his forehead due to Alice's slightly unladylike eating manner, that was not Luo Mu's concern.
After enjoying a delicious breakfast, the few of them simply took a car to the manor of the Yulong clan.
Luo Mu, Zhu Lan, Dorasena and Alice took a car, while Xia Ka chose to come slowly later because he was not participating in the trial. It happened that there were many things in Yanmo City that he was very interested in.
Regarding Alice's safety, Xia Ka was very relieved. After all, with Zhu Lan, who was obviously very fond of Alice, Xia Ka could still trust this champion.
Not to mention that Luo Mu and Dorasena were watching over her. Anyway, they were all blamed, so Xia Ka thought it would be better to take this opportunity to reward and comfort himself.
If Du Ruo was there, he might be surprised to find that his always rigid grandfather could be so flexible.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the car drove steadily into the manor on the outskirts of Yanmo City where the Yulong clan was located. When the four people arrived at the gathering place, they found that many people had gathered here.
But compared with the figures scattered throughout the manor yesterday, the number of people was reduced by more than half.
If I were to describe it in a more specific way, it would probably be that most of the guests who were successful or not young did not participate, leaving the opportunity to the younger generation.
The trainers gathered here were basically no older than 30 years old, but the arrival of Luo Mu and his companions still caused quite a stir and whispers.
None of these people expected that Alice would be fine, but Luo Mu and his companions, who were successful and not lacking in combat power, would actually choose to participate in this Dragon Cave Trial.
The aura of powerful trainers that Luo Mu, Zhu Lan, and Dorasena unconsciously radiated would probably attract many dragon-attribute Pokémon to recommend themselves. After all, most dragon-attribute Pokémon are very strong-minded, and the wisdom of Pokémon also makes them know how important it is to follow a suitable trainer.
If things go wrong, the talented dragon-type Pokémon will be attracted by these three people!
Looking at the crowd far away from her, Dorasena was a little distressed: "Oh, it seems that we are isolated?"
"But these are all insignificant things, aren't they?"
Zhulan smiled. She had no plan to capture Pokémon today. Her main job was to recommend herself as Alice's protector.
"Let's act together today, Alice."
Looking at Zhulan's gentle gray eyes and hearing her gentle voice, Alice blushed unconsciously and stammered: "Sorry to bother you, Miss Zhulan."
Zhulan smiled and said, "Leave it to me."
I don't know if it was because he looked at the friendly interactions around him or was about to enter the Dragonite that could make Dragonite stronger, Luo Mu was in a surprisingly good mood at this time.
He looked around at the trainers who were going to participate in the Dragonite Trial with him. According to his observation, most people should only want to add a Dragonite or sub-dragon type Pokémon with excellent talent produced by the Dragonite, or a dragon egg Pokémon.
Ms. Dorasena had no intention of obtaining the Speed Secret Book, and Zhulan only planned to concentrate on raising the children, so there were very few potential competitors.
Like Genji, the Dragon-attributed Four Heavenly Kings of Hoenn, and the Dragon Tamer Family of Padiya, they were not present, but this was still not Luo Mu's personal show.
His eyes fell on a girl with short black hair, wearing a close-fitting top and hot pants, and a torn gray cloak.
The name of this girl emerged in Luo Mu's mind.
The inheritor - Shi Jiana.
I didn't expect that she would come here, which made Luo Mu wonder -
Was the invitation letter from the Dragon Tamer Clan sent to a group?
In Luo Mu's impression, Shi Jiana only appeared in the game and the special episode. At least the world he was in had no connection with the special episode, and there was no very dark background. It was more inclined to the animation world, and it seemed to have some shadows of the game plot. This made Luo Mu, who had just arrived, very confused about what this world was like.
In the game, as a Meteorite, Shijiana runs around the Hoenn region just to awaken her "Dragon God", the Sky Dragon Rayquaza.
She actually accepted the invitation of the Dragon Clan. It's not for the dragon attribute Pokémon in the dragon cave, right?
These have no attraction to Shijiana, a Meteorite. After all, there are many dragon attribute Pokémon living in the Meteor Falls in the Hoenn region. Even as the inheritor, Shijiana herself has a close relationship with the legendary Pokémon Rayquaza.
This gives Luo Mu reason to suspect that Shijiana may come for the Speed Secret Book, in order to become a stronger inheritor and let Rayquaza favor herself.
"Rayquaza?"
Luo Mu retracted his gaze and muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
Is the black Rayquaza he met the same individual as the "Dragon God" worshipped by Shijiana?
Or, there are two Rayquazas above the ozone layer in this world, so how do they divide their territories?
The atmosphere of half of the planet on the Padiya side belongs to Black Rayquaza, and the atmosphere of half of the planet on the Kanto side belongs to Green Rayquaza?
The various thoughts swirling in Luo Mu's mind did not stop until Adu and Xiaozhuang brought the elderly Dragon Elder to the crowd. Listening to the Dragon Elder re-explaining the precautions, Luo Mu stopped thinking about it and listened to the rules first. Maybe there are clues to the so-called hidden trial in it.
Unfortunately, the Dragon Elder only talked about things he had already talked about yesterday. After the Dragon Elder finished speaking, she smiled, pointed to the spacious lake in the north direction, and said: "The first level of the Dragon Cave Trial, find the entrance to the Dragon Cave somewhere in the lake."
"After finding the entrance, show your strength!"
"Break through the whirlpool and storm at the entrance, and pass through the Dragon Temple before entering the Dragon Cave!"
