An abstract trainer who taught Charmander the Incinerate move

Chapter 42 A Heart of Justice (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Seeing Luca's effortless figure, the elves who had been panicking at the dock suddenly saw hope.

"It's...it's the Navy! This is the movement technique of a Navy expert!"

"Caw! What impressive skills! Whose subordinate is this?"

"Great! It's Lord Luca! We're saved!"

Feeling the culmination of his arduous practice blossom in an instant, Luca couldn't help but smile with joy.

See that? Senior Red Dragon, the reputation of the Navy's Six Powers has not been buried by me!

The king of the near seas' golden eyes shrank sharply; it clearly hadn't expected the blue-skinned dog to evade its attack.

But it quickly adjusted its strategy and launched a second offensive.

With its gaping maw capable of swallowing an entire sailboat, the king of the near seas had thick, dark purple energy swirling between its fangs.

The jet-black energy beam was like a shackle from the abyss, causing Luca's hair to stand on end even before it reached him.

This is the signature move of the Lord of the Near Seas – [Dark Pulse].

It once used this tactic to directly destroy a caravan from the Kingdom of Goa!
In the blink of an eye, the King of the Near Seas had completed its power-up.

In an instant, a terrifying wave of evil roared from the giant maw of the near-sea king, and the resulting vortex turned the area within a hundred meters inky black.

In a daze, Luca seemed to hear the screams of millions of dead souls in his ears, and the terrifying evil energy made his whole body tremble with fear.

The fear that had once dominated him by dark and profound fantasies surged back into his heart, and Luca immediately tried to use [Shave] to get away from the range of the evil wave.

However, the range of this move is too large. If Luca could master the advanced level of [Shave] and comprehend the essence of [Continuous Frenzy Kick], he might be able to dodge the attack.

However, at the moment, Luca's ability to repeatedly leap and jump is not enough to help it dodge this terrifying attack!
Enveloped by the wave of evil, Luca's body curled into a ball and tumbled in the turbulent energy flow, his tailbone slamming heavily against the mast base, tasting the metallic, metallic taste of blood in his throat.

Impacted by terrifying evil energy, excruciating pain erupted from the depths of every cell, and Luca felt his bones melting.

But what's more terrifying than pain is the tremor deep within one's consciousness.

"I can't breathe anymore! Anyone, please help me..."

"Mom, help! I feel so bad..."

"Lord Luca, help me! My head hurts so much! I don't want to die..."

As the elves by the dock cried out mournfully, the precious memories of those days and nights of arduous training by the sea began to fade and blur, and everything in the past gradually became distorted and deformed under the erosion of dark energy.

Damn...

In the end, I... I still couldn't protect anything...

All the efforts and all the dreams seem to have lost their meaning.

Luca instantly felt himself fall into a dark abyss, unable to rise again.

However, in the dark abyss, a figure burning with fire suddenly appeared, illuminating the darkness.

Upon seeing this figure, Luca, who had been in a daze, suddenly snapped back to reality.

Red... Red Dragon Senior!
The cloak of the Red Dragon General, engraved with the word "Justice," fluttered in the wind, and the words he had spoken before echoed in Luca's ears once more.

"Luca, this is a chaotic era. Civilians all over the world are suffering from evil and chaos. Everyone longs for a peaceful life. Our navy is the mainstay of protecting world peace. No matter what, we always carry the word 'justice' on our shoulders. Because of this, as long as we hold justice in our hearts, we will never fall, no matter what kind of enemy we face!"

justice……

justice!

In an instant, Luca's eyes cleared, revealing a resolute gaze and an astonishing will.

Senior Red Dragon... Aa ...
How could I possibly collapse in a place like this...

I'm destined to become the King of the Navy, an elf!!!
In an instant, Luca, struck by the [Evil Pulse], did not continue to succumb. Instead, he began to unleash astonishing fighting spirit and energy! Under the horrified gaze of the Sea King, Luca's aura grew stronger and stronger, and his combat power continued to rise.

It is a heart of justice!
The Dark-attribute attack of the Sea King triggered Luca's ability, "Heart of Justice"!
Pokémon with the [Heart of Justice] trait are natural nemesis of Dark-type Pokémon; their attack power increases significantly when attacked by Dark-type attacks!
Luca has spent so many years herding sheep on farms that he hasn't really fought against any real criminal forces, so he himself is unaware that he possesses this trait...

Now, it has finally awakened this characteristic. At this moment, Luca is bursting with a sense of justice and feels full of power!
The Navy is justice, and as long as justice remains, I will never fall!

Braving the dark torrent of evil fluctuations, Luca's feet, propelled by the explosive force of his righteous heart, left afterimages as he stomped across the deck in a series of powerful kicks.

At that moment, Luca's body shot out like an arrow with a sharp whooshing sound, transforming into a blue streak of light and rushing towards the King of the Near Sea.

In that unconscious moment, Luca actually touched upon the essence of [Continuous Frenzy Kicks]!

In the blink of an eye, Luca had arrived in front of the King of the Near Sea.

Facing that colossal, pillar-like body, Luca unleashed a powerful strike with his right claw, which was imbued with azure energy.

That's a killer move that perfectly combines the kinetic energy from pushing off the ground with the vibrational frequency of the force exerted—[Forceful Flash]!
A tremendous roar erupted from Luca's palm, accompanied by a continuous sound like glass shattering endlessly.

The sturdy scales that the king of the near seas was so proud of crumbled layer by layer from the point of impact, like thin ice exposed to the blazing sun.

The powerful shockwave pierced through the scales and struck the internal organs. The sea king-like Gyarados stared in disbelief in its golden eyes and collapsed with a thud!

wow-

The king of the near seas, with its enormous body, stirred up towering waves and sank heavily to the bottom of the sea, never to rise again!

The spray from the waves created a rainbow in the sky after the rain.

"We...we won?!"

The elves by the docks erupted in cheers as they watched the near-sea king crash to the ground and sink to the bottom of the sea.

"Did you all see that? That starting stance when he unleashed his power! It's exactly the same as when Admiral Red Dragon crushed the Black Bull Pirates twenty years ago!"

The old man with the big tongue, who had been hiding in the warehouse, was now using his long tongue to hold up the binoculars.

The rusty Navy Reserve medal on his chest gleamed with a sacred luster in the rain.

"Back then, Lord Crimson Dragon's cloak... fluttered in the storm just like this!"

Tears welled in the eyes of the porter floating on the wood chips as he shouted a heartfelt cry to Luca.

"Long live the Navy! Justice will prevail! Lord Luca, I knew that an elf with such unwavering eyes as yours would win! I believe... you will definitely become the Navy King!"

The Navy King?!
This title carries too much weight.

Legend has it that the Navy King is the most righteous spirit on this great sea!
It can bring true peace and stability to the entire ocean.

And this is exactly what the spirits, who are suffering from evil and chaos in the world, crave.

It's unclear who started it, but hundreds of voices gradually converged into a sound wave that shook the bay.

The elves by the dock trudged over the wrecked cargo, calling out the same title in their own unique ways.

"Naval King! Naval King! Naval King!"

The rhythm of the waves crashing against the shore resonated with the shouts, and the entire bay's waters rippled with blue-gold waves with each cry.

When Luca turned around, panting, he saw countless pairs of tearful, shining eyes full of new hope, reflecting the rainbow that stretched across the sky behind him.

In an instant, all his emotions were condensed into one sentence: Luca raised his hands with boundless pride and shouted loudly towards the sea.

"I'm going to be the Navy King... I'm determined to be him!!!"
