"Buy~"

About half an hour later, Sylveon finally put down its paintbrush with satisfaction and looked at its "masterpiece".

Qingyu, who was standing silently behind it, watched the entire process of Sylveon's painting and nodded repeatedly after appreciating the final result.

It must be said that Sylveon has a very high talent for painting.

Not only are the paintings perfectly natural, but even Rayquaza, as depicted in the paintings, possesses a certain charm, showcasing the splendor of legendary Pokémon even within the artwork.

Compared to the sketches I had seen several times before, Sylveon's progress this time was particularly noticeable.

The series of fateful encounters that occurred within a year deepened Sylveon's understanding of Rayquaza, but a crucial element was missing, preventing the work from becoming perfect.

Today, after witnessing Rayquaza in its most perfect form, the last missing piece has finally been filled.

On the drawing paper, the black Liekong sits with its striking red eyes, devoid of any emotion, yet giving the impression that it is leaping off the page, silently scrutinizing itself.

The idiom "to add the finishing touch" is perfectly suited to describe the painting before us.

So it's no wonder that the internationally renowned artist, Master Tutu, personally taught it sketching techniques back in Miare.

In a sense, the help that Master Smite gave to Eevee, who was so weak, to get to where it is today might be second only to that of its trainer, Smite itself...

Well, at most, they're about as important as myself!

"I never expected that your Sylveon, Qingyu, would have such a talent."

"If this painting were put up for auction, it might fetch an extremely high price in the Hoenn region, and Sylveon could also use this opportunity to become famous overnight."

Aoki sighed sincerely, recalling the scene that happened at last year's Dragon Attribute Master Tournament.

Sure enough, even if Qingyu himself didn't seem to know the reason, there must be some kind of connection between him and this black Rayquaza.

During the half hour that Rayquaza spent repelling Roaring Moon and Sylveon fully immersing itself in painting, Rayquaza barely moved, like a diligent model, quietly waiting for Sylveon to complete its masterpiece.

Clearly, it not only noticed this place from the beginning, but also didn't mind being exposed to human sight.

Having dealt with this aloof guardian for nearly a year, Aoki had hardly ever seen its face. Almost every time it took action, it would immediately disappear into the clouds, leaving only a white trail behind.

If you can be so patient with humans, could you perhaps be a little kinder to your reliable comrade-in-arms...?

Aoki silently rubbed his forehead.

"auction?"

Qingyu blinked and subconsciously looked at Sylveon, who was still immersed in her own world of painting and unable to extricate herself.

Judging from its overflowing joy, it must be very satisfied with this work, right?
and so……

"Let's forget about it. This painting must be of great significance to Sylveon, and I intend to make it a treasure of the Sunny Gym."

"That's it."

Aoki nodded, seemingly unsurprised by Aoba's decision.

After all, he was just saying it casually.

Obviously, something else is more important than this.

“Qingyu… no, at this time it would be more appropriate to call you Teacher Yu.”

Aoki suddenly spoke again, and when Aoyu turned around, he met Aoki's somewhat resentful, dark eyes.

"Hey Teacher Yu, putting aside the battle series videos for now, have you forgotten that you also started another very popular video series before?"

"It's been a long time since the 'Talking Myths' video series started with Fantasy Westward Journey!"

Although his gaze held a hint of resentment, Aoki's tone when he spoke clearly carried a touch of amusement.

hum-

As a "pigeon-like" streamer, Qingyu's heart skipped a beat after hearing this, and her expression became awkward.

Shocking! Uncle Aoki is actually a fan of his own?
And they even started urging us to update offline!
However, thinking about it carefully, the last update of the "Mythology" series, the Dream Chapter, was at the end of February, and two months have already passed in the blink of an eye.

Because so much has happened during this time, he had almost forgotten about it.

As for why Uncle Aoki suddenly brought this up...

Besides urging for more updates, it's also a way of giving yourself a subtle suggestion, right?
After all, isn't there a living, breathing legendary being right in front of him right now?
The existence of Black Rayquaza, once revealed, may overturn many people's understanding of Rayquaza, the "God of the Sky".

Rayquaza is not a single entity, but likely exists as part of a race, and possesses a special power that allows it to further enhance its strength and autonomously achieve Mega Evolution...

Even the scattered Meteorites of Hoenn probably only left behind legends and never witnessed Rayquaza's full glory.

Of course, the real reason why Qingyu agreed to Qingmu's request could not possibly be so superficial.

For Padia, this Black Rayquaza was undoubtedly a hero, single-handedly suppressing the Paradoxical riots in the entire Sector Zero and giving Padia, which had lost so much, a chance to catch its breath.

only……

It did not receive the treatment a hero deserves, and even the number of humans who know that Black Rayquaza exists in Padia is probably pitifully small.

If he hadn't been "tricked" into working by Chairman Yaji and Aoki, he might not have known what it had done for Padia and would still be confused about the existence of Black Rayquaza.

Perhaps it was out of consideration for protecting it, or perhaps it was simply because the people of Padiya were afraid that its overwhelming power would frighten them.

Qingyu did not intend to delve into the reasons, because he believed that President Yeci's judgment, made after careful consideration, must have its own reasons.

However, now that he knows about this, he absolutely has to thank Black Rayquaza in his own way.

Things that the Padiya authorities cannot disclose openly may be more readily accepted by the public when spoken by a "big streamer."

I see……

Was this also part of your calculations, President Ye Ci?
Thinking of this, Qingyu immediately reacted and raised her head to wave amicably to the black Rayquaza who had not yet left.

Although there was no response, it can probably be interpreted as tacit agreement.
So, Qingyu decisively took out his Rotom phone and pressed the shutter button repeatedly, aiming it at the guardian in the sky.

This thing is much better than drawing!
After taking many photos for later use, Qingyu finally showed a satisfied smile.

However, when he looked up again, intending to express his gratitude to Black Rayquaza, its figure had vanished in the blink of an eye.

……

Despite the series of events including the humiliating defeat of Aoki's wallet at the Treasure Canteen, the fierce battle against Roaring Moon at the Zero Zone Gate, and the farewell to Black Rayquaza, only a morning had actually passed.

Therefore, when Qingyu returned to Sunny Dojo, the clock hands had just pointed to two o'clock.

It was the gym's peak operating time, but it seemed that Nemo and Mewtwo had already started their challenge for the day, and all the students' attention was focused on them.

Even when they saw themselves, some students immediately looked away guiltily, pretending that nothing had happened.

Since revealing his Heavenly King form, it seems that quite a few students of average skill have been traumatized by him, and probably won't even have the courage to challenge him for a long time. Qingyu was happy to have some peace and quiet, so he turned around and went into his room. While sitting in front of the computer and waiting for it to boot up, he muttered a few words to himself.

"If everything goes smoothly, I'll probably lead the team deep into Zone Zero after the Champion's Road assessment in July, right?"

"Judging from the behavior of those paradoxical species, they must have developed a considerable degree of collective consciousness, and they may even seduce and test others in batches. No wonder they give President Ye Ci such a headache."

"However... normally, ancient species and future species should be mortal enemies. The magnificent pair of Fang and Iron Tracks in the Booming Desert can only be described as a miracle."

"Therefore, a more reasonable guess is—"

“Deeper in Zone Zero, there must be a more powerful paradoxical species that has united these beasts that only speak of strength and gradually constructed their current collective consciousness.”

"That is to say..."

"It has occupied the ecological niche of the 'king'."

Qingyu clicked her tongue in amazement.

In his memory, there shouldn't be another creature related to Zone Zero that would behave in this way.

At the end of Zhu Zi's first playthrough, there is an even more powerful and wild Paradise Guardian Dragon, which seems to be the reason why Milton was seriously injured and had to escape from Sector Zero.

"To completely resolve this problem, do we have to completely defeat that guy?"

"I don't know if my current strength is enough."

Qingyu, who was originally quite confident in his abilities, couldn't help but feel hesitant at this moment.

To be fair, my main Pokémon are all quite strong, and even Mewtwo, which isn't considered overpowered, can hold its own against the Elite Four.

I sketched a bunch of illegal moves from Sylveon, making it a veritable Dragon-type killer;

Lucario is adept at using Mega Evolution and has mastered the two great techniques of Unseen Fist and Urshifu.

Unruly Pokémon can change its mask at any time when there are no rules, and its power is no less than that of any Pokémon;
In the wild, it can create a spiritual field, effectively prevent enemy surprise attacks, and effectively interfere with the opponent's beloved servant sister;
Finally, there's the promising Ankylosaurus.

Even though it's not at full strength, its combat power is already sufficient, even when fighting against the absurd race that doesn't know martial ethics.

but……

If faced with a tidal wave of paradoxes, and the other side has a "king" lurking behind the scenes directing everything.

Perhaps it's easier for me to become the breakthrough point.

"Does this mean I'm going to start the Saitama training method with Lucario?"

Qingyu sighed.

If you don't want to hold your Pokémon back, it seems like it's not too late to start working hard today.

However, just as he made up his mind to get up from his seat and prepare to go out for a 10-kilometer jog,

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the shadow beneath his feet, then it began to vibrate and gradually became blurred.

At the center of the blurry shadow, a pair of dark red eyes quickly appeared.

It was clearly Marshall, who had suddenly disappeared and had not responded since.

"Hero, there's no need to worry about your safety."

Soon, Marshall emerged from the shadows in front of Qingyu and spoke first.

Compared to its tone when they first met, this time its voice was noticeably more respectful, even using the honorific "sir".

"As the shadow instructor of the Ho-Oh Trial, protecting the hero is also my duty."

Marshall's tone was very calm, but his inner thoughts were quite the opposite.

This is a lie!

If the Rainbow Hero truly had himself as a lifesaver, he would probably have been exposed to humans long ago, and it would be impossible for him to have remained hidden until now without being discovered.

As for why it decided to protect Qingyu, the reason is quite simple—

Is Lord Phoenix's judgment a little too good this time?
This hero named Qingyu has quite an impressive background!

Even if all the Pokémon in Sunny Gym were accidents, how do you explain that incredibly powerful black Rayquaza from earlier?

Rayquaza is not a good-tempered deity. It is said that the original mission given to it by the creator god was to quell the endless struggle between the earth and the sea.

As for the method... as long as those two deities are subdued at the same time, the conflict will naturally be resolved.

But when it came to Lord Qingyu, He clearly showed extraordinary patience, which could even be described as "favoritism"!
Clearly, not only Lord Ho-Oh, but also more than one other legendary being had already taken notice of him.

In short, Marshall is now constantly regretting his impetuousness during their first meeting.

I'm already honest, please let me go!

I absolutely must build a good relationship with this year's Rainbow Hero!
"..."

To be honest, Qingyu had almost forgotten that Marcia was still by her side.

Although he didn't understand why, he was certainly happy to have a powerful mythical Pokémon as his "personal bodyguard".

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Marshall."

Qingyu smiled and subconsciously reached out, using the skillful technique she had learned when petting Eevee to give it a head pat.

Marshall's body trembled, but she did not shake off his hand.

"There's...there's one more thing..."

"For some time now, I haven't been able to contact the Flame Emperor, one of the Three Divine Beasts, which is why Lord Phoenix's trial has been stalled."

"However, I have already instructed the three sacred beasts to come to the Padia region, and they should appear in a while."

"At that time, all you need to do is demonstrate the hero's power and gain their approval to complete the first trial."

"I understand."

After listening, Qingyu nodded.

The Three Holy Beasts...

Legend has it that Pokémon are also ranked in terms of strength.

According to the players' unofficial classification, they should be classified as level two gods, and their strength should not be too great.

Moreover, more important than the trials...

The Three Holy Beasts could also serve as a prequel to the Ho-Oh arc, with a separate video dedicated to telling the story of what happened in the Johto region!

Thank you, Marshall!
