Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 411 Kyurem: What's it to me?
Unova region, Shuanglong City.

The bronze doors of the Twin Dragons Dojo swung open with a bang, and a burly white figure stepped out with heavy strides.

This man was Shaka.

The battle-hardened old man pressed his hand to his chest, his gray eyebrows furrowed tightly.

A sense of oppression, so strong it made the dragon Pokémon's scales stand on end, was surging in from all directions.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the thick clouds.

High in the sky, beyond the reach of ordinary people, the outline of an airship, hidden in the clouds, appeared and disappeared.

"Team Plasma... what exactly is your purpose in coming here?"

Shaka stroked the Poké Ball hanging from his waist, his unease growing stronger.

This sudden storm is probably far more dangerous than it appears on the surface.

An uninvited guest arrived without prior notice.

Without even thinking about it, I knew something bad was about to happen.

"Never mind, let's call Aldeck first."

Shaka was just about to make a call to report to the league.

shhhhhh!
Suddenly, several launch ports split open in the belly of the airship.

Several azure-blue frozen missiles streaked down, their tails blazing, and exploded the instant they hit the ground.

Click!Click!Click!
The missile did not cause damage to buildings, but instead emitted a frigid white blast of air.

The terrifying cold wave spread rapidly from its point of impact, instantly freezing buildings in its path with thick layers of ice.

Within ten seconds, the streets, houses, and even the astonished expressions of the trainers in the entire Twin Dragons City were frozen in ice crystals.

Even the moisture in the air turned into ice crystals and fell down in a flurry.

The entire city seemed to have been put on pause.

At that moment, the biting cold air wrapped around Shaka's limbs, and the white mist he exhaled condensed into ice crystals in an instant.

"This chill... why is it even more persistent than before?"

Shaka has been through countless battles and has encountered more Ice-type Pokémon than many trainers have eaten rice.

But this ice-type energy left him bewildered.

He wanted to move, but his muscles stiffened due to the cold temperature.

buzzing...

At that moment, the airship high in the sky emitted a loud hum from its engines.

A massive shadow slowly enveloped the frozen street, and the Plasma Team insignia gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

This is a landing!
And without any concealment, they landed directly!
They didn't even look for a landing spot; they just stopped wherever they wanted!

The plasma team's airship was too fast, and it landed on the ground in less than ten minutes.

Shaka was powerless and could only watch helplessly as Team Plasma's airship made an emergency landing in Twin Dragons City.

boom!
As the landing gear made contact, the ice surface shook violently.

This steel behemoth finally landed on the ice throne it had created itself.

Boom!

The hatch opened with a loud hydraulic roar, and a man dressed in a black papal robe slowly descended the metal steps.

Behind the lenses of the cold-weather mask, a pair of hawk-like eyes gleamed with cruel pleasure.

This person was none other than Quixote!
The seven sages of Team Plasma, and also the masterminds behind it all.

"This is a golden opportunity."

Quetzs reached out and stroked a frozen trainer statue by the roadside. His voice, through the mask, echoed dully, "The Elite Four, and even the champions, fought fiercely in the Strongest Trainer Tournament. What's left is just a flock of... lambs to the slaughter."

The ice crystals shattered at his fingertips.

Quixote turned his head and said softly, "Leave now, and leave what I want behind, and I may spare the lives of the residents of your city."

"Quechice... does your Team Plasma really intend to do something as ruthless as extermination?"

Shaka's eyes blazed with fury. He hurled a Poké Ball and roared, "Haxorus!"

A dark green dragon shadow burst forth, its sharp fangs and axe blades clashing in the cold light, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, aimed straight for Quichis's throat!
"Ah."

With a cold laugh, the Poké Ball at his waist popped open automatically.

The three heads of the dragon opened their three gaping maws simultaneously, and the triple dragon's energy surged out in a spiral.

The purplish-black energy dragon and the double-axe war dragon collided with a deafening roar, and the shockwave shattered all the surrounding ice shards.

The Haxorus was forced to retreat, its claws carving deep furrows into the ice.

"Double drink..." (This environment is so uncomfortable, I can't use my strength at all...)
The double-axe war dragon was breathing heavily, and the frost that had condensed on its axe blades fell off with its trembling.

Suddenly, a crisp sound of crystals colliding came from the sky.

Dozens of geometric snowflakes fell from the sky, their crystalline facets refracting a cold light, surrounding the double-axe war dragon.

Boom!

Before Shaka and the Double-Haxe Dragon could act, all the geometric snowflakes simultaneously rotated their bodies, and the frozen beams intertwined into a net from all angles.

Before the Haxorus could even swing its teeth and axe blades, the icy beam had already completely engulfed it.

Ice covered its entire body at a visible speed, and the Haxorus eventually transformed into an ice crystal statue maintaining a fighting stance.
Even its last breath was frozen in mid-air...

"Hahahaha!"

Laughter came from beneath Quixote's mask as he slowly moved forward, crushing the ice crystals on the ground.

At the same time, the three-headed dragon grinned menacingly, its eyes fixed on Shaka.

"Stop struggling in vain, old man."

Quixote raised his right hand, which was covered by a metal glove, and made a demanding gesture with his palm facing upwards. "Hand over the Gene Wedge... and perhaps I can spare a few survivors for this ice sculpture city."

"You...don't even think about it!"

Shaka roared, and the Poké Ball at his waist shook violently, but before it could be released, it was frozen in place by the freezing beams of the geometric snowflakes.

"I told you not to make a futile struggle. None of the trainers in Twin Dragons City are my match."

After saying this, Quixote's sneer suddenly froze.

His gaze caught a glimmer of light in the distance.

A trainer who wasn't frozen was trembling as he raised his phone, the live stream camera reflecting a cold glint.

"Ah, just right."

Quixote suddenly spread his arms wide, his black cloak fluttering in the cold wind.

The three-headed dragons worked together to spew three intersecting streams of dragon flames into the sky, turning the night sky an eerie purple.

"Did you see that clearly, you ants from the Unova region?!"

His voice echoed throughout the region via live stream: "This frozen city is the fate of the rebels! From this day forward, the world will be reshaped by Team Plasma! Team Plasma is the true master of this world!"

……

……

Unova region, Liberty Garden Island.

Li Xuan frowned as he watched the scenes unfolding in the live stream.

"What's wrong? There's still fighting to be done tomorrow."

Mewtwo teleported over and, noticing Li Xuan's expression, gave him a warning.

"Now is not the time to continue talking about the battle. Take a look at this."

Li Xuan held the phone screen in front of Mewtwo's eyes.

What appears on the screen now is Quixote's maniacal smile.

A living, breathing madman.

They looked like they had just escaped from a mental hospital.

To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen such a pure villain.

For no other reason than the simple desire to conquer the world.

"Damn it, Shuanglong City is frozen over!"

From the audience, Du Ruo let out an angry shout.

His hometown was invaded by the enemy and completely frozen.

Even his grandfather was tortured by the enemy.

Although Du Ruo was a poor student, he still had some backbone. How could he tolerate being used to climb the social ladder by stepping on their faces?!
"Du Ruo, don't get excited. Even Grandpa Shaka is frozen. Let alone whether you can beat Team Plasma, even if you go now, Team Plasma will probably run away."

Zi Yu was also powerless to do anything about it and could only try to comfort Du Ruo.

Liberty Garden Island and Twin Dragons City face each other across the distance, one lying quietly in the azure waters at the southernmost tip of the Unova region, the other perched before the Giant's Cave in the North.

Even if they rushed back from the tournament venue at full speed, it would still take them at least half a day to cross this long north-south diagonal.

When they arrive, they will likely only be faced with a city full of ice sculptures and the aftermath of this tragedy.

"Damn it... I can't do anything."

Du Ruo angrily slammed her fist on the railing and looked around.

The jubilant atmosphere here stands in stark contrast to the disaster unfolding in Shuanglong City, as if they were two completely unrelated worlds.

The more this was the case, the more urgent it became for Du Ruo.

……

"...Mewtwo, given your strength, how long would it take you to get to Twin Dragons City using Instant Transmission?"

Li Xuan, on the other hand, was not in a hurry.

What's done is done, and there's no use in being anxious now.

All he could do was think about how to get rid of Quixes.

However, due to geographical reasons on both sides.

To get there now, unless you have a Champion-level Psychic-type Pokémon to help you, even if Reshiram goes at full speed, it will still take some time.

Two hours is enough.

Mewtwo sneered, knowing that its strength was at the level of a strong champion.

When it unleashes its full power, its teleportation is enough to travel from south to north in two hours.

"Well done, I'll leave it to you in the future."

Li Xuan patted Mewtwo on the shoulder. With its teleportation and his own aura, searching for Gryphon was a sure thing.

"But, I refuse."

Chao Meng righteously and firmly rejected Li Xuan.

"what?"

Li Xuan raised an eyebrow, surprised that Mewtwo would reject him so quickly.

"I told you you have to defeat me before I'll listen to you. Even if the world ends, I will stick to my principles."

Mewtwo has its own set of rules; only humans who defeat it can command it to act.

Li Xuan: “…”

"Listen to me, and I'll consider it a favor I owe you."

Li Xuan held up one finger and said earnestly, "Now is not the time to throw a tantrum. Sometimes you can be flexible about your bottom line and change it back later if necessary."

"No means no. Li Xuan, unless you defeat me now, I will not listen to you."

Mewtwo and Li Xuan had a disagreement.

Seeing this, Li Xuan stopped arguing with Mewtwo.

"Dream, let's go. I owe you ten meals of barbecue."

There are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on just one?

What's more, I have Victini and Dream here.

At worst, Victini can give Cattleya a power boost, briefly bringing her to Champion level.

"Mio~" (Since you've said it so sincerely, I'll mercifully help you. Victini, I need your help.)
Knowing that they were at a critical juncture, Dream didn't cause any trouble but instead asked Victini to come and help it.

"Bini." (I know, I'll give you a buff right now!)
Victini placed his hands on Riolu and poured endless power into its body.

"Mio~" (Feels so good~)

Riolu let out a long, comfortable cry, and then, in full view of everyone, transformed into its "pink kitten" form.

Fantasy, come on!
"Mio~" (Li Xuan, you must hold on to me tightly~)
As soon as Meng Huan finished speaking, Li Xuan's eyes were plunged into darkness.

It thought for a moment, then added a sentence.

"Mio~" (By the way, that guy got the Gene Wedge, so he probably won't stay in Twin Dragons City anymore. I'll take you directly to our old friend's place to ambush him.)
……

……

Unova region, Giant's Cave.

This is the northernmost part of the Unova region, west of Kagome Town.

It is perpetually submerged by blizzards and is also the habitat of the Kyurem.

"We're here! This is it! The little Tyrannosaurus Rex is right here. I'll take you to talk to it!"

With practiced ease, Dream led Li Xuan through a winding path until they finally arrived at the depths of the Giant's Cave.

"This script is a little different from what I imagined."

Li Xuan scratched the back of his head and gasped.

In his mind, Mewtwo should have teleported him to Twin Dragons City, and then he would use his Aura to search for Gryphon's location.

Unexpectedly, Dream teleported him directly to Kyurem's hometown.

"Hey, I already told you, we should come here to ambush them beforehand. That human looks like he just escaped from a mental hospital, a complete idiot. He only likes to bully the weak, but once he runs into a tough opponent, he'll run away like a coward."

Dream's ability to judge people is quite impressive; it quickly figured out Quixote's true nature.

"Bini..." (But, should we really come directly to Kyurem?)
Victini's voice trembled slightly. It was also a local Mythical Pokémon, and its relationship with Kyurem wasn't actually that good.

Kyurem looks fierce; you can tell at a glance that he's not someone to mess with.

Before it was imprisoned on Free Garden Island, it also walked around the Giant's Cave.

The number of times I've met Kyurem can be counted on one hand.

"Since you're already here, it's too late to leave now. Of course, if you want to leave, you can go by yourself."

Dreamy chuckled.

Bictini wanted to say something more, but then shrank back behind Li Xuan.

Rumble…

The earth trembled, and an extremely cold aura swept over us.

This was an aura unique to a first-level god. Li Xuan narrowed his eyes, and the power of wave guidance condensed in his palm.

"Dream... How come the humans you brought have the aura of Reshiram?!"

A neutral, powerful dragon roar resounded, and a ferocious, gray-blue Tyrannosaurus Rex Pokémon slowly emerged from the depths of the cave.

Its head is covered in ice crystals, its golden eyes are terrifying, it has broken ice wings on its back, and its body is shaped like a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The Three Dragons of the Path, the Pokémon of the Boundary, Kyurem!

Kyurem was sleeping, but suddenly sensed Reshiram's presence.

This directly woke it from its slumber, and it walked over step by step.

Kyurem sniffed carefully and discovered that Li Xuan not only possessed the aura of Reshiram, but also the aura of one of his defeated opponents.

And the scent of the other two Mythical Pokémon...

"Human, what exactly is your origin?"

Kyurem couldn't help but look at Li Xuan with newfound respect.

It was not only recognized by the local legends and mythical Pokémon of the Unova region, but was even personally brought over by Mew.

The initial thought of taking action vanished completely.

Kyurem isn't a malicious Pokémon; the act of cutting off Keldeo's horn was unintentional.

When Keldeo came knocking, it only symbolically retaliated with its Shadow Claws.

Unexpectedly, the opponent was so weak; it broke off Keldeo's horn with just one swipe of its claw.

Ok……

Its three masters were also present, and their aggressive tone made Kyurem very unhappy.

Kyurem then froze Keldeo's three masters.

"Who am I? I'm just an ordinary trainer from the Kanto region."

Li Xuan shrugged and chuckled softly.

"Indeed, you do look quite ordinary."

Kyurem agreed with Li Xuan's statement: "You're different from the humans I've met before; you're quite self-aware."

Li Xuan: “…”

Is it possible that I'm being modest?

"However, you are also the most legendary figure I have ever met among all the human trainers."

Kyurem must admit this.

Despite being recognized by so many legends, Kyurem did not feel anger at the invasion of his territory.

"Kyurem, have you noticed any humans visiting your territory recently?"

Let's get straight to the point.

The scenes shown in the live stream are something that, apart from Kyurem, no other Ice-type legendary Pokémon could have accomplished.

Of course, it definitely exists.

For example, the Articuno that was blessed on Ice Island.

Although Articuno is powerful, when combined with the other two Legendary Birds that have received buffs, it can possess combat power comparable to an ordinary first-tier god.

"Humans? Of course there are. Not long ago, some sneaky humans were collecting my ice energy outside the Giant's Cave. But I was asleep at the time, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

Kyurem recalled what he had discovered a few days ago, and it was indeed as Dream had said: someone had entered his territory.

But Kyurem was too lazy to do anything and didn't care about the matter anymore.

"Bini!" (Kyurem, you have no idea! Your energy has been used by humans for evil! Now the entire city outside is frozen solid because of your energy!)
Victini, emboldened, peeked out from behind Li Xuan and told Kyurem about the Twin Dragons City.

"?"

Upon hearing this, Kyurem's forehead was covered with a question mark formed from ice energy.

"What does this have to do with me? It's not like I ordered them to do this."

Kyurem found this rather inexplicable.

I'm sleeping peacefully, so why are people using its name to cause trouble every day?
