Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 616 Sylveon vs Kyurem!
"Bu-yi...?"

Seeing Kyurem's reaction, Fairy Eevee was a little confused.

Isn't this the truth of the matter?

Kyurem released a chill from his body. He pressed on, locking his eyes on Sylveon and asked again:
"I have never eaten humans, let alone been to the town there. Who told you those words?"

Seeing this, Naoki quickly stepped forward and answered for Fairy Eevee: "Those are legends circulating in the human world. Haven't you heard of them?"

"Legend?" Kyurem was slightly stunned.

Naoki nodded: "Yes, it is a piece of news that is widely circulated in the human world, but the truth cannot be confirmed. This kind of news is a legend. Many people have heard of this legend. I think... there may be some misunderstandings."

Kyurem was silent.

"Buey...?" Fairy Eevee then realized that it seemed to have made some mistakes, and it asked cautiously.

Are all the things recorded in the legends true?
Kyurem was a little embarrassed to be looked at like this by such a Pokémon, and it replied:

"Of course not. I have never eaten children, let alone humans. For me, the natural energy in this world is my food. I don't need to eat anything else."

"So, there really is some misunderstanding here?" Naoki asked.

"Of course." Kyurem answered without question.

It didn't want to continue talking about this topic, but turned its gaze to Fairy Eevee and asked:
"I am not an evil dragon. Even so, do you still want to continue the challenge?"

"Buyi..." Fairy Eevee was a little hesitant.

Since this Pokémon is not a dragon, even if it defeats it, it cannot become a hero, right?

Because it is recorded in the legend that only Fairy Eevee who defeats the evil dragon can become a hero.

Kyurem saw what it meant.

Its huge body slowly turned around, pointed its butt at Sylveon, and then walked towards the dark cave where it came from.

"In that case, then you should leave here!"

Fairy Eevee is still hesitating.

Naoki looked at Kyurem's back and said, "You don't have to defeat the dragon to become a hero. What's important is to have a heart that wants to become a hero."

"Buyi?" Fairy Eevee was slightly startled.

Naoki: "You have been training for a long time for today. Why don't you come and spar with Kyurem? It can also be regarded as a conclusion to your training for more than a year. What do you think?"

"Buee!" Hearing this, Fairy Eevee also made up his mind. It looked at Kyurem's back and loudly invited it to fight again: "Buee!" (Mr. Dragon, please come and fight with me!)
Kyurem paused, then turned around abruptly, looking down at Sylveon with its pupil-less eyes.

Fairy Eevee realized belatedly that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly changed his words to: "Booee!" (Oh no, not Mr. Dragon, Mr. Kyurem!)
Kyurem didn't care about the name, but asked, "The battle with me must have an end. If you run away out of fear, no matter where you run, I will find you until the battle is over. Even so, will you continue?"

Naoki: "..."

Does Kyurem think that he, Gul'ton and Mewtwo don't exist?
However, this was a test from Fairy Eevee, so he did not speak rashly.

Fairy Eevee thought deeply, and then nodded seriously: "Eevee!"

Kyurem snorted coldly and said, "Then prove your courage to me!"

The geometric snowflakes circling in the air surrounded the entire ice field. Terrifying ice energy burst out from Kyurem's body, sweeping towards Sylveon like an overwhelming force.

The battle officially begins!
Kyurem started with an ice beam, and it condensed a beam of energy emitting cold air from its mouth, which instantly blasted towards Sylveon.

Fairy Eevee's eyes were fixed on the beam of ice light, its eyes were full of confidence and determination.

It had seen this move countless times from Articuno.

It's now!

Sylveon suddenly exerted force with its hind legs, and the next moment, it bounced up from the ice and dodged the freezing beam sideways.

The moment it landed, Sylveon did not stop, but ran quickly around the ice field.

As it ran, a light pink light emanated from its body. At first glance, it looked like a pink elf, running nimbly on the snow.

The energy surged out, and in an instant, a layer of light pink mist enveloped the surroundings.

Misty venue!

"Buyi!" This is what Naoki taught it, to seize the venue before the battle begins!

Kyurem snorted coldly, and a series of dragon roars came out of its mouth. A beam of freezing light instantly condensed and took shape, sweeping across behind Sylveon like a laser.

Fairy Eevee sped up, and when it turned a corner, it suddenly turned around and ran towards Kyurem.

A dazzling pink light burst out from its body, and the light finally gathered in a straight line and blasted straight towards Kyurem.

"Magic Flash." Naoki recited the name of the move in his mind.

Kyurem was hit, and even the strongest Dragon Pokémon couldn't help but feel the pain when facing this Magic Flash.

"Hmph, you're quite good at it."

Kyurem changed his strategy and swung his giant shadow claws to meet the Sylveon that was running towards him.

The next second, the dragon and the Eevee collided. The impact force caused by the huge shadow claw directly blew the Fairy Eevee away and made it fall on the ice.

Kyurem's huge body followed closely behind. It jumped high, with violent dragon waves coming out of its mouth. It aimed at the place where Sylveon fell and started to chase it.

However, the next second, an unexpected scene happened.

When the dragon's breath touched Sylveon, it strangely dispersed to both sides and did not harm the Sylveon in the middle.

Seeing this, Kyurem was slightly stunned.

Are dragon-attribute moves ineffective?

While it was stunned, Fairy Eevee quickly adjusted itself.

Naoki said that when you are hit by your opponent's move, use that move!
Then, Fairy Eevee started running quickly, with a layer of white light covering its body.

"Want to compete with me in strength again? You are overestimating yourself!" Kyurem snorted coldly and swung the giant shadow claw again.

However, at the critical moment, Fairy Eevee actually jumped high up, and the Shadow Claw just brushed the ground and missed.

The white light on Sylveon's body reached its maximum brightness, and its body suddenly stagnated, and then stuck to Kyurem's face.

Kyurem was stunned again, but the next second, when he felt the energy being sucked out of his body, he swung his dragon claws fiercely and threw Sylveon out.

Then a dark light burst out from his body, and as the light enveloped him, Kyurem's appearance changed rapidly.

Its upper body was raised high and it stood on two feet. Black pupils grew in its yellow eyes and black dragon horns spread from the top of its head. Its original wings retracted into its shoulders and a black right wing grew above it, while the left wing remained in its original appearance.

That is... Dark Kyurem who has obtained the power of Zekrom!

Dark Kyurem flapped his dragon wings and slowly rose into the air, looking down at Sylveon below.

The next moment, its pitch-black tail began to spin at high speed like an engine, and blue electric current surged out of it, then gathered on the ice that had condensed in front of Dark Kyurem.

The blue electric current wrapped around the ice, and the electrical energy seemed to be frozen, sweeping towards Sylveon with terrifying power.

Seeing this, Naoki's heart was instantly alarmed and he couldn't help but shout out: "Danger!"

"Buyi..."

Fairy Eevee looked up at the scene, and all the things that had happened here before emerged in its mind.

At that time, Naoki said that he would not command it to fight Kyurem because Kyurem did not like others to interfere in the battle.

So at that time the battle will have to be completed by this Eevee alone.

Therefore, Naoki taught it a lot of fighting knowledge.

For example, when you are hit by a move, you can use the absorbing kiss to replenish your physical strength, and at the beginning of the battle, you should be the first to seize the venue to gain an advantage, etc.

And now this situation...

It's time to use that trick!

substitute!

The next second, Frozen Volt flooded the location of Sylveon and swallowed up its tiny body.

Kyurem flapped his wings slowly and looked down at the scene.

Faced with its most powerful move, the weak Pokémon should have fallen, right?

Humph, although I have enough courage and perseverance, unfortunately I overestimate my own abilities.

To become a hero, courage and a desire to help others are not enough, Kyurem thought.

But compared to the previous Keldeo, this Fairy Eevee was already pretty good. At least it wasn't afraid or weak when facing it, and such a character deserved its recognition.

Of course, if Kyurem knew that Sylveon had often faced a number of legendary Pokémon such as Articuno, Mewtwo, Ho-Oh, Rayquaza, and Gulduron before, he might not have such an idea.

Unfortunately, it doesn't know.

And now, it's time to end it! Kyurem said silently in his heart.

But at this moment, a very familiar voice suddenly sounded behind it.

"Buyi!"

Kyurem was slightly stunned, and it turned its head suddenly, and saw a moon emerging from the head of the Sylveon that had run behind it at some point.

The moonlight condensed into a beam of light and instantly shot out towards its location.

Almost in an instant, it arrived in front of it.

Kyurem only felt a huge force coming, sweeping its body back violently.

Kyurem had a serious expression. Its huge body smashed the ice surface, and its huge paws embedded in the ice. Under the influence of inertia, it retreated several meters before it could barely stabilize its body.

There was a gleam of shock in its eyes.

This Pokémon looks so weak, how can it exert such great power? !
It underestimated the enemy!

Kyurem's expression was extremely serious. This Pokémon's strength was definitely several times stronger than the previous Keldeo.

With such strength, it is worth it to use all its strength to fight!
A terrifying aura surged out from Dark Kyurem's body. A flash of light appeared on its body, and it actually returned to its normal form from Dark Kyurem's form.

An invisible pressure spread out from Kyurem's body, and in an instant, the temperature in the air dropped sharply.

Huge amounts of ice energy gathered madly around it.

Seeing this scene, there was some worry in Sylveon's eyes. As a Pokémon, it could feel the terrible energy from the other party.

Even after such a long period of special training, it cannot guarantee that it can cope with it.

Fairy Eevee hesitated for a moment, but thinking of its hard training over the past year, it felt that it had to have a good fight with this dragon Pokémon no matter what!
Fairy Eevee is full of fighting spirit. Since the opponent is going to use a big move, it will also use its most powerful move!
Kyurem condenses ice energy on the spot.

Fairy Eevee stood on the misty field and began to mobilize all the energy in his body.

A huge amount of energy immediately caused the pink mist floating in the air to begin to vibrate violently.

Seeing this, Naoki, who was watching the battle, instantly realized that Kyurem and Sylveon were about to use their most powerful moves!

Sylveon’s most powerful move is Mist Explosion, and Kyurem... could it be Frozen World?
On the ice field, the pink mist quickly deepened in color. When it reached a certain level, it seemed to resonate with the energy in Sylveon's body.

The next second, a terrifying energy transformed into a hemispherical pink ball of light with Sylveon as the center, sweeping in all directions, swallowing up all the snow wherever the light ball passed.

A dazzling white light burst out from Kyurem's body, and the temperature around him continued to drop, as if even the space was frozen.

Two completely different energies collided violently in an instant.

“Sizzle!”

The ice on the ground continued to spread all around, and the geometric snowflakes hovering in the air flew up in panic. They kept moving upwards, as if even they could not withstand the low temperature below.

Mewtwo and Gulden's expressions also changed slightly.

The next second, Mewtwo's figure flashed in front of Naoki and Gulden, and it turned into a Y form, with blue light flashing in its eyes. It stretched out its right hand, and its tremendous superpowers instantly condensed into a shield in front of it, blocking the extremely cold air outside.

That is... Kyurem's ultimate skill, Frozen World!
The ice surface continued to spread, and in the blink of an eye, the entire mine was covered by ice, as if it had turned into an ice cave.

In the game, the move has a power of only 65. Is it so terrible in reality? Naoki was stunned.

The dazzling white light engulfed the entire mine. Naoki could no longer see the scene ahead and couldn't help but worry about Sylveon.

There was a loud "boom" and a horrible explosion occurred before my eyes.

Then all was quiet.

It was unknown how long it had been, but when the white cold air that enveloped the surroundings gradually dissipated, Naoki and his companions could finally see the scene ahead clearly.

On the ice field, Kyurem looked tired, with obvious injuries on his body, and was gasping for breath.

Not far in front of it, Sylveon still maintained the same posture as when it used Mist Explosion, but its body was now completely frozen in the ice.

The battle is over!
Zhishu rushed forward on horseback and shouted, "Guleton!"

"Ah, gah!" Gultun understood instantly.

A beam of scorching fire immediately burst out of its mouth.

The flames melted the ice, and countless white vapors rose up.

Naoki took out the life-giving goat milk from his backpack and fed it to Sylveon the moment it thawed.

After a moment, Fairy Eevee slowly opened his eyes.

"Buyi..."

The newly thawed Fairy Eevee was cold all over and shivering from the cold.

Naoki quickly unzipped the bag, held it in his arms, and used his body temperature to keep it warm.

After a long while, Fairy Eevee's body gradually warmed up, and it acted affectionately and coquettishly with Naoki.

"Buyi~"

"You've done very well. In my opinion, you are now a true hero!" Naoki praised.

Hearing this, Sylveon jumped out of his arms, and the three Pokémon turned around and looked at Kyurem's position.

Kyurem's expression was slightly cold, and it stared at the man and Pokémon in front of it with its pair of pupil-less eyes.

The cold voice sounded slowly, mixed with a hint of excitement and passion: "It's been a long time since a Pokémon has hurt me like this."

Obviously, the mist explosion also caused considerable damage to Kyurem.

"Buyi..." Fairy Eevee was a little embarrassed.

Kyurem praised it, "You are now worthy of the title of a hero."

"Buey?!" Fairy Eevee looked at it in disbelief.

Naoki gave Kyurem the milk of life: "Drink it, and your injuries will heal."

Kyurem had seen the effect of this thing, so he did not refuse it. After drinking it, he indeed recovered all his strength.

"You did a great job," Kyurem praised.

Fairy Eevee was very happy: "Eevee!"

Its efforts over the past year have not been in vain!

"You want to be a hero...how do you plan to do it in the future?" Kyurem stared at it.

At first, Fairy Eevee was a little confused and didn't know the answer to this question.

But soon, it thought of everyone on the World Tree and immediately answered: "Bu Yi!"

Now that it has enough power, it is going to go to the world of the Mystery Maze to rescue Pokémon in need and become a true hero!
Kyurem had never heard of the World Tree or the Labyrinth.

But it could feel this Pokémon's courage and its desire to help others.

It slowly turned its huge body and prepared to return to the cave, leaving behind only a cold voice.

"In that case, then just do it!"

Seeing Kyurem's figure about to disappear in the darkness, Naoki quickly said, "Kyurem!"

Kyurem stopped, turned around, and asked, "What else?"

"I would like to invite you to go to the World Tree and live with us," Naoki said.

He briefly introduced the World Tree to Kyurem, saying that it was a paradise for Pokémon where no humans would disturb them and that many legendary Pokémon in the world were now there.

Hearing this, Fairy Eevee's eyes lit up and she echoed, "Eevee!" That's right!
However, Kyurem did not answer the question. It just stared at Naoki and said, "You have the scent of those two guys."

Naoki was slightly stunned, then he realized that Kyurem was talking about Reshiram and Zekrom.

He nodded and said, "Yes, for some special reasons, Reshiram and Zekrom are also on the World Tree now, but they are still in the form of Dragon Stones..."

Kyurem was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked:
"What is your Tao?"
