Chapter 317 Dragon Cave Trial: The Speedy Mystery Inheriter Shijana
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 Poké 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 Thorn 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 harmoniously, 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 relieved 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 of course that A'Du won, but Xia Ka's difficulty was beyond A'Du's expectation, which led to him obviously starting the battle first, but ending 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 someone mentioning to him that even in the Hezhong Alliance, the current batch of young Four Heavenly Kings will address each other respectfully when they meet 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 hummed an indistinct song, put on his bathrobe and left the bathroom, looking at the wonderful night view outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window, Luo Mu recalled what happened next door when he was helping Kuailong treat his minor injuries after the battle. A startling glimpse of the battlefield.
That was the scene that happened when the battle reached a fierce stage. A'du's Kuailong and Xia Ka's double-axe battle dragon refused to give an inch and fought fiercely with their "bayonets".
Shaka's double-axe fighting dragon's eyes were scarlet, and his whole body was shrouded in an ominous red halo. There was no doubt that he released the "Reverse Scale" move.
"Reverse Scale", like "Meteor Swarm", also has certain side effects in exchange for explosive power.
Once an ordinary dragon-type Pokémon activates its reverse scale, its rationality will collapse and it will turn into a reckless fighting machine that only wants to defeat the enemy in front of it, without even caring whether it will be injured.
Only dragon-type Pokémon that have mastered the reverse-scale move and will not lose their minds can be said to be unique. Shaka's dual-axe battle dragon uses reverse-scale to bring about brute force while maintaining reason and suppressing tyranny. Fight with a super boost in strength.
Even if it has side effects, the reverse scale does allow the double-axe battle dragon to rival the fast dragon in the field of power for a period of time.
This reminded Luo Mu of Alice's double-axe battle dragon in the World Championships, which used its reverse scales to resist the Bamboo Orchid Mega's bite of the land shark meteor swarm.
Even so, Xia Ka's double-axe fighting dragon was still at a disadvantage when facing Adu's fast dragon.
The reason is simply that A'Du's Kuailong is not only powerful enough to compete with Nilin's double-axe dragon, but also has full speed and agility.
The fast dragon used a certain technique to maintain its speed during the battle, and relied on this powerful preemptive move to greatly increase its speed.
Facing the dual-axe fighting dragon with its dual axes raised high, the fast dragon with its shining green light will often repel it with faster dragon claw cuts, or dodge it. Although it maintains its sanity, its combat accuracy is far away. It is better to attack the dragon with his double axe in normal condition and then add another blow to it.
But according to Luo Mu's observation, that skill doesn't seem to be particularly excessive. At least at Adu's level, his Kuailong still only enters that state when fighting against Ni Lin.
When the double-axe fighting dragon's reverse scale was over, Kuailong's speed was still the same super-fast serious impact.
Even if it is likely to have some flaws and limitations, Luo Mu believes that the enhancement brought about by this speedy special method of use is enough to prove its value as a secret book passed down from generation to generation by the dragon-controlling clan.
Luo Mu still remembers that in the Alliance Conference exhibition match in Pokémon Sun and Moon, Kukui's Lucario used a technique somewhat similar to this, relying on this technique to avoid the extremely fast four Ultra Beasts. After the attack of Styrognathus, it caused very good damage.
But there is still a big gap between that move and the move Luo Mu saw A'Du use. At least Lucario can't use other moves in the super speed state, but Kuailong can use Dragon Claws and Dragon Waves at will. Or even destroy the light.
If you think about Kukui's previous defeat at the hands of Adu, 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 speed technique used by Adu Kuailong on Lucario, but because he was just copying a cat and a tiger, it had its form but no spirit.
Although he had already made mental preparations in this regard, in today's battle, Kuailong was not fast enough because he could not accelerate as much as he wanted, and could not catch up with the Thorn Dragon King. The scene was still deeply etched in Luo Mu's mind.
President Yeci is right. As long as he learns the speed skills of the Yulong clan, Kuailong's combat power, which has begun to expand due to Lugia, will 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, which is very suitable for new progress in terms of strength.
When Luo Mu finished washing, put on his dried clothes and opened the door to the room, four figures appeared in his field of vision as if they had been waiting for a long time.
"Good morning, big 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. Normally, when someone touched her head, she would pout and mutter something like "Don't touch my head." Alice, who was not very tall, did not even show any dissatisfaction.
This made Xia Ka, who had already taken the blame. Before leaving, he invited A'Du to wrestle in private but was rejected with a weird look on his face.
This little girl looks completely different to herself and Luo Mu.
After saying hello to Alice, Luo Mu looked up at Zhulan, Dorasena and Shaka, and greeted them in turn.
"Good morning." Zhulan nodded, and then invited: "Would you like to have breakfast with us? There is still enough time before the Dragon Cave Trial starts."
Alice also touched her stomach with a patient look on her face: "I'm a little hungry too."
Luo Mu, who had originally planned to have breakfast, naturally had no reason to refuse the invitation from Zhulan and the others. He nodded, followed them in the elevator to the hotel restaurant, and enjoyed a delicious breakfast.
As for how much more wrinkles on Shaka's forehead were caused by Alice's slightly unladylike appearance, that was not what Luo Mu cared about.
After enjoying a delicious breakfast, they took a car together to the Yulong Clan's manor.
Luo Mu, Zhulan, Dorasena and Alice rode in a car, while Xia Ka chose to come slowly later because he did not want to participate in the trial. It happened that there were many things in Yanmo City that he was very interested in.
Regarding Alice's safety, Shaka was quite reassured. After all, there was Zhulan who clearly loved Alice very much, so the champion Shaka could still trust her.
Not to mention that there were Luo Mu and Dorasena taking care of them. Since they were all taking the blame anyway, Xia Ka felt it was better to take this opportunity to reward and comfort herself.
If Du Ruo had been present and found that his always rigid grandfather could be so flexible, his jaw might have dropped.
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 of them arrived at the gathering place, they found that many people had already gathered here.
But compared to the figures scattered throughout the manor yesterday, the number of people has shrunk by more than half.
If we describe it in a more specific way, it would probably mean that most of the famous or older guests did not attend, leaving the opportunity to the juniors.
Basically, the trainers gathered here are no more than thirty years old, but the arrival of Luo Mu and others still caused quite a commotion and whispers.
None of these people expected that even Alice, Luo Mu and the others, who could be said to be successful and not lacking in combat power, would choose to participate in this dragon lair trial.
Just the aura of powerful trainers that unconsciously exudes from Luo Mu, Zhulan, and Dorasena will probably attract many dragon-type Pokémon to recommend themselves. After all, most dragon-type Pokémon are very admirable. Strong, Pokémon's inherent wisdom also makes them understand how important it is to follow a suitable trainer.
Maybe, all the talented dragon Pokémon inside will be attracted by these three people!
Looking at the crowd far away from her, Dorasena was a little troubled: "Oh my, it seems that we are isolated?"
"But these are unimportant things, aren't they?"
Zhulan smiled. She had no plans to conquer Pokémon today. Her main job was to recommend herself as Alice's protector.
"Let's do it together today, Alice."
Looking into Zhulan's gentle gray eyes and her gentle voice echoing in her ears, Alice blushed unconsciously and stammered: "Sorry to trouble you, Miss Zhulan."
Zhulan smiled and said, "Put it on me."
Not sure whether it was because he glanced at the friendly interactions around him or because he was about to enter the dragon's lair that could make Kuailong stronger, Luo Mu was in a surprisingly good mood at this time.
He looked around discreetly at the trainers who were going to participate in the Dragon Cave Trial with him. According to his observation, most of them should only want to add a dragon type or sub-dragon type with excellent talents produced by the Dragon Cave. Or the Pokémon born from dragon eggs.
Ms. Dora Sena has no intention of obtaining the magic secret, and Zhulan only intends to focus on raising her children. There are very few potential competitors.
For example, Genji, the four dragon-attributed kings of Hoenn, and the dragon trainer family of Padea 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 tight-fitting top, hot pants, and a broken gray cloak.
This girl's name came to Luo Mu's mind.
Inheriter - Shijana.
Unexpectedly, she would also come here, which made Luo Mu have a doubt——
Are the invitations to the Yulong clan sent in bulk?
In Luo Mu's impression, Shijana has only appeared in games and special episodes. At least the world she is in has nothing to do with the special episodes, and there is no very dark background. While she is more inclined to the animation world, she seems to also have games. There were some hints of the plot, which made Luo Mu wonder what the world was like when he first arrived.
In the game, Shijana, a citizen of the Meteor, runs around the Hoenn region just to awaken her "Dragon God", the Sky Dragon Rayquaza.
She would actually accept the invitation from the dragon clan. Isn't it because of the dragon-type Pokémon in the dragon's lair?
These are not attractive to Shijana, a people of the meteor. After all, there are many dragon-type Pokémon living in the meteor waterfall in the Hoenn region. Even Shijana, as the inheritor, has a relationship with the legendary The Pokémon Rayquaza are inextricably linked.
This gave Luo Mu reason to suspect that Shijana might have come here for the Secret of Speed, in order to become a stronger inheritor and make Rayquaza favor her.
"Rayquaza?"
Luo Mu withdrew his gaze and murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
Is the black Rayquaza he encountered the same individual as the "Dragon God-sama" worshiped by Shijana?
Or, in this world, there are two Rayquazas above the ozone layer. How to divide their territory?
The atmosphere of half the planet on the Padia side is black Rayquaza, and the atmosphere of half the planet on the Kanto side is green Rayquaza?
The thoughts swirling in Luo Mu's mind didn't stop until A'Du and Xiaozhuang came to the crowd with the elderly Dragon Elder. Listening to the Dragon Elder explain the precautions again, Luo Mu stopped thinking. Xi thought, first listen to the rules clearly, maybe there are clues to the so-called hidden trials in them.
Unfortunately, the Dragon Elder only talked about what he had talked about yesterday. After the Dragon Elder finished, 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 you can enter the Dragon Cave!"
