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

Chapter 453 The Imminent Arrival of a First-Level God
"Sharp stone attack!"

Faced with the ice pillars that the little boar unleashed, Li Xuan chose to respond with the same move.

The way the sharp stone attack is released is also by rising up from the ground and crashing towards the opponent.

"Drink, Chief!"

Kyurem roared, and countless sharp rocks burst from the ground, colliding violently with the ice pillars summoned by the little boar.

Puff, puff, puff!

Amidst a deafening explosion, the sharp stone attack crushed the ice pillars with overwhelming force and continued to bombard forward!
The little wild boar stood firmly in place, and a transparent protective barrier instantly appeared around its body.

The sharp stones slammed violently against the barrier, creating ripples of energy, but failed to budge it in the slightest!
The situation of the war is changing rapidly.

The moment the protective barrier dissipated, the entire area suddenly trembled violently!

original.

It was the little boar unleashing an earthquake attack, with powerful seismic waves spreading violently outwards from it!

Upon seeing this, Kyurem instantly unleashed an aura of extreme cold.

The frigid ice layer rapidly covered the ground, completely freezing the surging seismic waves outside the icy barrier.

A frozen world of ice!
[Guys, what's going on? Why can't I hear them giving instructions?]

[Don't even mention you, none of us on site can hear the commands!]

[These two gym leaders aren't saying anything, yet their Pokémon are battling so autonomously; they must be using cheat codes, right?]

The live stream chat was filled with comments.

Everyone was wondering why, even without anyone giving orders, their Pokémon were still fighting so fiercely.

Li Xuan appeared unmoved by the danger, but his inner anxiety was growing.

"Hey kid, why is that pig over there so strong?"

Kyurem was slightly alarmed. This was the first time an Ice-type Pokémon had been able to rival or even subtly suppress its own normal form in terms of move clashes.

If it doesn't change form, Rem thinks it's very likely that it will end up in a draw with it.

"How so? I feel that Boar's Ice-type nature isn't very strong, but the power of its moves is indeed stronger than many Pokémon."

Li Xuan used the "power of waveguide" to communicate with Kyurem.

He didn't know what was going on.

"I don't understand. This old man has something on him. Even the scents of the Rainbow Bird and the Silver Sea Goose are clinging to him. Could it be that he has subdued the Rainbow Bird and the Silver Sea Goose?"

Kyurem thought about it for a long time before coming to this conclusion.

Otherwise, to possess such a strong aura, one would have to have subdued those two; otherwise, there would indeed be no opportunity to have prolonged contact with them.

Ok……

If that's the case, then it's understandable that the old man's little wild boar could subtly suppress him.

but.

This only allows it to subtly suppress itself in its normal form. If it were to transform into any other form, the little boar would be no match for it.

Kyurem believes that in its normal form it is only effective against Reshiram and Zekrom, and in terms of actual combat power, it is probably one of the weakest among the Tier 1 gods.

However, once its strength reaches its peak...

Let alone a legendary-level wild boar, even if all of that old man's other Pokémon came at it together, they probably wouldn't be a match for it.

"Hey, stop imagining things. If you really have that kind of power after you change your form, then why don't you hurry up and change your form?"

Li Xuan rolled his eyes at Kyurem.

"You're not my hero. Even though I follow you, why should I be obligated to completely obey you?"

Kyurem offered a rebuttal.

Li Xuan was speechless.

Just as Kyurem said, he and Kyurem were practically landlord and tenant.

Kyurem occasionally teaches his Pokémon moves, or steps in to solve any problems that arise.

One to two to go.

It seems there's really nothing I owe or don't owe.

"How about this, you agree to be my hero now, and I'll do everything in my power to help you get rid of it, okay?"

Kyurem never forgot to make Li Xuan his hero.

It is true that they have not forgotten their original aspirations.

"That's unethical of you, Kyurem. You're the one who's raising prices on the spot."

Li Xuan mentally gave Kyurem a thumbs up, and then made a few sarcastic remarks.

But Kyurem, having lived for so long, had long since become immune to such words.

If Li Xuan doesn't become its hero, then it will just have to give up for now.

"Dude, why are you doing this in the finals? If you ask me, the more you do this, the less likely it is that even if I'm the hero, our combined boosts won't be as high later on."

There is a degree of compatibility between heroes and legendary dragons.

For example, Li Xuan and Reshiram are a perfect match.

"Hmph, so what do you plan to do?"

Kyurem casually unleashed a freezing beam, deflecting the ice pillar attack that the little boar had unleashed once again.

It means they didn't take the little wild boar seriously.

"Let's practice our teamwork in this battle a bit more. If we coordinate well, I'll consider becoming your hero. You know I always keep my word."

Li Xuan chose to make empty promises, using the same tactics he used last time to tell Kyurem that he would consider the matter.

"you……"

Kyurem pondered for a moment, feeling that Li Xuan had said these words to it before.

However, it seems that Li Xuan didn't really lie to himself.

Ok……

Should I agree or not?
Kyurem thought about it a lot, and finally nodded heavily.

It refused to believe that Li Xuan wouldn't be his hero after helping him so many times.
Pokémon have very simple minds.

Kyurem may be a bit wicked at times, but when it comes to choosing his hero, he seems to be more about finding someone he likes.

"Okay, I'll agree to your request one more time. I hope you won't lie to me."

Kyurem knew what this battle meant to Li Xuan, and it didn't want this incident to cause a decrease in their compatibility after Li Xuan became its hero.

If it really declines, then it will be a losing proposition.

"Alright, let's change form then!"

Li Xuan shouted loudly.

Kyurem instantly transforms into its new form.

Crimson flames suddenly rose, and the damaged part of Kyurem was enveloped in white light. Dense fire energy was injected into it, transforming Kyurem into Flame White Kyurem form!
Pokémon: Kyurem

[Attribute: Dragon, Ice]

【grade:? ? ? 】

【Special Feature: Turbine Flame】

【Movement: Extreme Cold Flame】

The classic three question marks appear.

Li Xuan discovered that all of these fully-formed Level One Gods were beings at the ??? level.

The specific level is unknown; it remains a complete mystery.

"Its aura has grown stronger... This Kyurem's strength is probably far beyond what the little boar can compare to..."

Liu Bo originally thought that the gap between himself and a first-level god was not large.

However, when Li Xuan's Kyurem transformed into Flame White Kyurem, it was already more powerful than before.

In other words, it's an existence that regular Pokémon can no longer contend with.

His little wild boar is indeed very strong.

But against an opponent of this caliber, it seems there's no way to win...

Well, let's see what's going on.

Thinking of this, Uncle Liu's mindset changed slightly.

"Little wild boar, blizzard!"

Of the moves the little boar learned, very few are effective against Flame White Kyurem.

It would be better to use your prized ice-type moves.

There might still be a glimmer of hope.

As for how much of this glimmer of hope there is.

I don't know.

"White Kyurem, Intertwined Flames!"

"Heh!"

The little wild boar raised its head and roared angrily.

A blizzard swept across the entire area, with countless ice crystals carrying a biting chill as they roared in, attempting to engulf the Flame White Kyurem.

With its wings fully repaired, the Flame-White Kyurem took to the air, and suddenly blazing, intertwined flames ignited between its wings. Red and blue fire waves swirled out like two dragons, colliding violently with the blizzard.

Ice and fire clashed, shaking the entire arena, and billowing steam instantly enveloped the entire stadium!

As thick fog enveloped the stadium.

Although the audience could not see the specific battle situation, they suddenly felt a scorching wave of heat rushing towards them.

Immediately afterwards, Kyurem's cold silhouette emerged from the white mist, radiating a bone-chilling coldness, yet at the core of that coldness lay a heart-palpitatingly intense heat!
Kyurem's signature move: Extreme Cold Flame of the Ice Attribute!

With almost no time to react, the chill instantly enveloped the little wild boar completely!

The ice layer spread rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, it completely sealed the area within the thick ice crystals!

"I surrender."

Without pausing, Uncle Liu immediately recalled the little boar into its Poké Ball.

The gap between the two sides is simply too large; there's no point in continuing this fight.

Liu Bo was indeed a bit too harsh on his Pokémon.

But that doesn't mean they'll continue letting his Pokémon fight when they have no chance of winning.

Uncle Liu is no longer young; now he thinks with a broader perspective.

In situations like this, they would definitely take the initiative to recall the Pokémon.

"Huh? Gym Leader Liu actually took back his Pokémon and admitted defeat. This is the first time I've seen this. Gym Leader Liu, are you sure you want to admit defeat?"

After all, Uncle Liu is a senior figure, and such a final is no child's play. The host will definitely confirm the result after several rounds of checks.

“That’s right, I’m sure. I, Uncle Liu, concede defeat in this battle.”

Uncle Liu turned and pushed his wheelchair away.

Only his back view remains, drawing attention.

[Wow, even a senior gym leader like Liu Bo admitted defeat. Just how overpowered is Gym Leader Li Xuan's Pokémon?]

[Yeah, yeah, Gym Leader Liu's little boar is a Fire-type Pokémon that can one-shot Gym Leader Xia! I never expected it to surrender so easily against Gym Leader Li Xuan!]

Everyone was shocked.

But when I thought about how Li Xuan's Pokémon was a legendary Pokémon, it suddenly made sense.

It would be strange if they couldn't kill it instantly!
Flame White Kyurem: ? ? ?

"This... I hadn't even had my fill of the game yet, why did the other side surrender so easily?"

Flame White Kyurem was stunned.

Everything was fine originally; it should have been a period of adjustment and fighting between myself and Li Xuan.
After defeating just one Pokémon, the opponent immediately surrendered.

What can it do? It's helpless too!

"There's no other way. It's already quite good that we've managed to do this. Although Master Liu's little boar can pose a threat to Tier 1 Gods, it can only fight Tier 1 Gods like Ho-Oh and Lugia in the end."

"You need to understand that once you transform into your Flame White Kyurem form, your strength will become immense. In that case, unless a third god from another region is present, there are very few ways to deal with you."

That's the truth. Reshiram used to have an easy time fighting Kyurem in its normal form, but it wasn't so easy when Kyurem turned into Dark Kyurem.

I almost got beaten up.

Rahiram has experienced this firsthand and would never want to go through it again.

"Alright, then this battle doesn't count. We'll fight again later... never mind, let's fight a level one god. If we cooperate well, no matter what, you'll be my hero."

Kyurem's obsession was to have Li Xuan become her hero.

In order to make Li Xuan his hero, he even offered to fight a level one god.

This shows that Kyurem is indeed sincere.

Now Li Xuan couldn't very well refuse.

"Okay, then when we encounter a level one god, you can take me to fight it properly."

Li Xuan nodded in agreement.

Kyurem then returned to the timer ball for a short rest.

"Kid, things haven't been peaceful in your Kanto region lately. It seems there really is a first-level god about to descend upon your area."

Kyurem transmitted these words to Li Xuan's mind with a half-smile, seemingly because it truly had such a perception, and thus took the initiative to bring this matter up to Li Xuan.

"Alright, you brat, don't be in such a hurry to refuse me, or feel like I've tricked you. You should know that outside of this world, apart from me or certain legendary Pokémon, no other Pokémon can match it."

Kyurem has reason to be proud of this.

They seemed to have Li Xuan completely under their control.

"Alright, I'll see which first-level god has such strength then."

"Don't worry, that first-level god is almost here. If I'm not mistaken, we'll be able to pinpoint your location in about a month."

Kyurem kept everyone in suspense.

It did not specify which first-level god was coming.

It was entirely up to Li Xuan to guess.

"Tsk, we'll see."

Li Xuan really had no clue about the descent of a first-level god.

Now we're really just taking it one step at a time.

……

……

The closing ceremony ended quickly.

Li Xuan won the championship trophy, and everything seemed ordinary.

Evergreen Gym, inside Team Rocket's base.

After finishing his match, Giovanni returned to Viridian City ahead of schedule, citing the need to handle dojo affairs.

He stood in front of a huge screen, listening to his subordinates' reports.

"Boss, I've found out some new information. The festival in the Orange Islands will begin in less than a month. That will also be the time when the ocean currents are at their most turbulent. I think Lugia, the first-level god, will appear then."

"Boss, what do you think?"

Dr. Nanbo appeared.

Report this to Itagi.

Waiting for the board to give instructions.

The difference from last time is.

The timing is getting closer and closer.

It's like a storm brewing.
