Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 617: The Dragon of Tao, conquered!

road?
Naoki was stunned when he heard Kyurem's words.

He thought quickly about the possible meaning of Kyurem's words.

As far as he knew, Kyurem, Zekrom, and Reshiram were all created based on the Taoist concept of Yin and Yang.

Zekrom represents Yin, Reshiram represents Yang, and Kyurem represents nothingness, which is the essence of Tao.

Tao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things.

The original Dragon Stone split into three, forming Kyurem, Zekrom, and Reshiram.

Naoki remembered that this was also recorded in the information about Kyurem.

After absorbing the energy of Reshiram or Zekrom, Kyurem will choose to protect the real world of Pokémon and humans, or fight to protect the ideal world between Pokémon and humans that will be realized in the future.

And now...

Kyurem clearly has the ability to transform into Dark Kyurem. Although it is not known where it got that power from, it is certain that the current Kyurem is definitely not an empty shell without a soul.

Kyurem exuded a cold aura. It stood not far away, leaning over and staring in this direction, as if waiting for Naoki's answer.

Soon, Naoki had the answer in his heart. He looked into Kyurem's eyes and said:
"I want to create a paradise just for my Pokémon friends."

A stream of cold air came out of Kyurem's nostrils. It didn't speak immediately, but stared at the human named Naoki.

The air flow called "Power of Tao" flowed slowly, and Kyurem's eyes penetrated all things in the world, as well as some unreal and unspeakable powers, and saw the ideal world that would be realized in the future.

"Hmph." Kyurem snorted, and then said, "If that's the case, then prove it to me!"

The power of ice surged out from Kyurem's body, and the previously damaged ice field was being repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The ice gate formed again in front of Naoki.

"Buy?"

There was confusion on Sylveon's little face. It didn't quite understand what Kyurem meant. Did this Pokémon want another fight?

However, Naoki saw through Kyurem's true thoughts.

Its action means that if you want to invite it back to the World Tree, you must first use all your strength to prove it to it.

At that time, Kyurem will use all his strength, and only by defeating it head-on can he gain its recognition.

Kyurem stood there waiting for the other party's answer.

"If you decide, go through the ice door!" it said.

"I understand." Naoki took a deep breath, and a rare desire to fight arose in his heart.

He wanted to see which one was stronger, his Gul'ton or Kyurem.

"Guledon." Naoki called out.

Gu Leton already understood what Naoki meant. It raised its foot and walked forward from behind Naoki.

"I'll leave it to you." Naoki said.

"Ah gah!"

One person and one Pokémon passed through the ice door.

Kyurem looked at the unique dragon Pokémon, and feeling the other's aura, a rare solemn expression appeared on its face.

The battle officially begins.

Kyurem started with a test freeze beam, and a milky white beam emitting cold air immediately shot out towards the Gulden Cave.

Gulden narrowed his eyes and exerted force with his strong leg muscles. The ice on the ground cracked, and he jumped up, avoiding Kyurem's freezing beam.

Naoki calmly watched the situation on the field. The moment he saw Gulden jump up, he immediately gave the order: "Full force charge!"

Gulton in mid-air turned around in an instant, and while changing its shape, it rushed towards Kyurem on the opposite side with a ferocious aura.

Kyurem felt the extraordinary power of that move, and it instantly condensed shadow claws, spread its heavy legs and ran towards the Pokémon.

The next second, two completely different energies came into contact, and the fierce collision stirred up a terrifying gust of energy.

With a loud "boom", Kyurem's huge body was knocked back dozens of meters by Gulton and hit the wall of the mine heavily.

In the first round of confrontation, Gulerton won!

"call……"

Kyurem gasped, a look of shock on his face.

That Pokémon's power is even stronger than this one!
However, what followed was extreme excitement.

Kyurem flew forward and roared loudly:
"Come on! This is what I've been waiting for. Use all your strength!"

The next second, Kyurem's aura surged wildly and the temperature in the air dropped suddenly.

The ice energy condensed into cold air that seemed to be able to freeze everything, filling the entire ice field.

Seeing this, Naoki thought to himself that something was wrong.

It's an ice world again!

Even though Gul'ton is very powerful, it may not be able to withstand a blow from Kyurem, which is also a legendary Pokémon. What's more, the ice attribute can restrain Gul'ton.

His brain was working rapidly, and suddenly, Naoki thought of a move that Gulden had hidden from him because he thought he had lost the dragon.

Got it!

"Gulden, dig a hole!" Naoki said quickly.

Even though they would be affected by the temperature, the danger could be minimized as long as they hid underground and avoided being directly impacted by the energy of the frozen world.

After the order was given, Leton immediately took action.

It waved its claws, quickly breaking the ice, then dug a hole in the ground and crawled into it.

The next second, accompanied by Kyurem's roar, the energy of the frozen world exploded in all directions.

Fortunately, with the protection of Mewtwo, Naoki and Sylveon can stand firm.

After a long time, the ice energy on the field gradually dissipated. Looking at the empty ice surface, Kyurem couldn't help but frowned.

Did you escape?
"Gulden, it's now!" Naoki's voice rang out.

No, that's not right!

Kyurem's heart was filled with alarm, but before he could react, he saw the ground below suddenly break open, and the Gul'ton attacked him from bottom to top.

Digging a hole was just to avoid damage, but this move was...

Close combat!
At such a close distance, Lewton completely gave up on defense and chose to launch an all-out attack.

The fist with enormous force hit Kyurem heavily. Even someone as strong as Kyurem showed an expression of pain on his face when facing this blow.

But it seems that the more painful it is, the more exciting it is.

"That's it! That's it!" Kyurem roared loudly with excitement, while his scales stood up.

Its yellow eyes without pupils suddenly turned red, and its aura suddenly increased.

Its tail, its head, and its body slammed towards Gulton frantically. There was no pattern in the attack, and it was mainly chaotic and disorderly.

That is... the reverse scale!

Gultun quickly crossed his arms to resist. Kyurem pressed forward step by step, and Gultun retreated again and again. Scars appeared on his body, and his breathing gradually became rapid.

Kyurem's breathing also began to become rapid. The full-force collision and close combat just now also brought him a considerable impact.

Looking at the two Pokémon fighting in close combat, Naoki frowned, and then calmly gave an order:

"Gu Leton, prepare to pay back double!"

"Ah gah!"

Gulden responded loudly, and the fighting energy in its body spread wildly to its limbs and bones, and continued to accumulate with the help of Kyurem's crazy attack.

If Kyurem had remained calm at this time, it would have given up the attack immediately after realizing something was wrong. But because of the use of the reverse scale, Kyurem was now in a state of confusion. In a short period of time, it would only attack Gulden continuously.

So Leton kept retreating until he had no room to retreat.

And at this moment, after a series of outbursts, Kyurem's attacks began to show signs of fatigue.

Naoki's eyes were fixed on the changes on the field.

The moment he saw Kyurem's flaw, he immediately gave the order: "Now!"

At this moment, the energy accumulated in Gulden's body burst out.

Thanks to the reverse scale, the power of that move was increased exponentially.

"boom!"

The enormous force directly blew Kyurem away. Its huge body flew backwards and hit the wall of the mine. Then its eyes rolled back and it lost its ability to fight.

"Ah geez..."

Seeing this, Gulden finally couldn't bear it anymore. He gasped and half-knelt on the ice as if he was exhausted.

Seeing that Gulden was about to collapse, Naoki quickly stepped forward, took out life-saving goat milk and cold-repelling and warming food from his backpack and fed it to Gulden.

After eating and drinking all the food, Gulden's body gradually recovered.

Having defeated the powerful enemy, Gulerton seemed very happy and couldn't help licking Naoki's face with his hot big tongue.

"Ah gah!"

"Well done!" Naoki was already accustomed to Gulden's action. He touched Gulden's head and praised.

Judging from the battle just now, Gul'ton's strength and speed are obviously higher than Kyurem's.

I didn't expect that Gulden possessed such powerful strength.

Naoki feels that even if Kyurem transforms into Dark Kyurem, Gulden still has the strength to fight.

But now, it's all over.

Naoki stood up and walked to Kyurem with Gultun.

Kyurem also recovered at this time. While panting, he praised in a fiery tone:

“You guys did a great job!”

It hasn't encountered such a powerful opponent for many years!
Now that he had a good fight, Kyurem just felt refreshed all over.

Naoki fed Kyurem the milk of life and asked, "Are you willing to go back to the World Tree with us now?"

"Of course, since I promised, I will definitely do it." Kyurem was very trustworthy. He shouted, "Come on! Use your human way to conquer me!"

"as you wish."

Naoki took out an empty Poké Ball from his waist and threw it hard at Kyurem.

The moment it hit Kyurem, the Poké Ball bounced into the air and then opened automatically, releasing a beam of red light from it, wrapping around Kyurem's huge body and taking it inside.

"Dong dong!"

The Poké Ball fell to the ground with a dull sound, and the white button flashed red.

Once, twice, three times...

The Poké Ball, which was shaking violently, gradually stopped until the red light stopped flashing.

This means that the conquest was successful!
Naoki was quite excited and went forward to pick up the Poké Ball.

He conquered Kyurem!
"Kyurem, please take care of me in the future!" Naoki said to the Poké Ball.

The Poké Ball in his hand shook slightly twice, as if the Kyurem inside heard his words and responded to him.

Naoki put away the Poké Ball, looked down at Sylveon, and asked with a smile:

"How do you feel now?"

"Bu-yi~!"

Fairy Eevee jumped up with joy.

"Very good, now it's time for us to go home!"

With Kyurem's departure, the coldness in the mine gradually dissipated and the temperature in the air rose slightly, but the frozen ice here did not melt.

The geometric snowflakes that had flown away flew back one after another, and they hovered above the ice cave as before.

There are geometric snowflakes with ice properties. Plus, this place is located underground where the sun cannot reach. I'm afraid this mine will always remain in its current frozen state.

But it’s better this way. At least he doesn’t have to worry that these geometric snowflakes will have no place to live after Kyurem leaves.

Naoki took out Sylveon's Poké Ball and took it back. Then he rode on Gulden and left the cave with Mewtwo and flew into the air.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Giratina.

After a while, a purple ripple appeared in the space in front of them.

"Let's go!"

As soon as Naoki finished speaking, Gulden and Mewtwo flew in.

*
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the group returned to the Padiya area.

Naoki did not return to the ranch immediately. He first went to the World Tree and placed Kyurem in the ice and snow land created by Articuno.

"From now on, you will live here!"

Kyurem looked around and felt the rich natural energy here, but he had no objection.

It turned its huge body around, looked at Naoki again, and said, "If you need my strength in the future, feel free to come here and find me."

It had promised this human that it would help him protect the future he wanted to create.

Naoki was slightly startled, then smiled and nodded, "Okay."

After saying goodbye to Kyurem, Naoki prepared to leave, but before leaving, Sylveon refused to go back to the ranch with him.

Looking into Sylveon's eyes, Naoki could understand what it meant even without it speaking.

He sighed slowly, and then said: "In that case, let's go, our little hero!"

"Buyi!"

Fairy Eevee responded with full of fighting spirit, waved its ribbon to say goodbye to Naoki, turned around and disappeared into the jungle, running towards the direction of the expedition team's guild.

Now that it has passed the test and become a hero, now it should do something that a hero would do!
"call……"

Looking at that scene, Naoki's mind flashed back to the time when Sylph Eevee had just hatched from the egg, and he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

He felt that his relationship with Pokémon was never like a normal relationship between a trainer and Pokémon, but more like a family.

He is an old father who looks after the ranch, and the Ibrahimovics are his children.

And now, the children have grown up and have their own things to do.

Although he felt a little reluctant, Naoki was still willing to respect their own ideas.

All he can do as an old father is to guard the ranch and cook a bowl of hot soup for them when they come home tired from playing outside.

After watching Fairy Eevee leave, Naoki brought Gulden back to the ranch.

However, he soon returned to the World Tree and handed a brand new Rotomphone to Kyurem, who was building a cave dwelling for himself.

"What is this?" Kyurem stopped, a little confused.

"This is the Rotom Phone." Naoki introduced the functions and usage of the Rotom Phone to it in detail.

Thirty minutes later, a new notification suddenly popped up in the Shenshou chat group.

[Ding! Kyurem joins the chat group! ]
