Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 132 Kyurem's Trial
On an open space outside the Giant's Cave.

Raven found some wood, lit a campfire, and sat around it with his Pokémon to warm themselves.

No one spoke.

Serpent Lord, Dragonair, Burning Bug, Victini...

Every Pokémon's face was filled with dejection and self-blame.

Clearly, the battle with that Pokémon had dealt them a significant blow.

Seeing this, Raven sighed softly and offered words of comfort:

"Okay, relax, don't be too sad."

Several Pokémon looked up and gazed over.

"The Pokémon we just battled was the legendary Kyurem," Raven said slowly.

"Its power is top-tier on this land, and even in the whole world. It's normal that we are no match for it."

"But don't be discouraged. Just because it's not a match for us now doesn't mean we'll never be its match. Serpentis, Dragonair, and Flameworm, you've only been in this world for a year or two, and Flameworm is less than three months old."

“Do you know how long Kyurem has lived?” Raven asked.

Several Pokémon looked bewildered, and Dragonair couldn't help but guess:
"Woo?"

“It has been there for at least a thousand years,” Raven said. Although the Kyurem arrived on this planet a few decades ago, its age is clearly much longer.

"This means that it has lived for thousands of years longer than us. Imagine if we had trained hard for that long, would we be in this situation today?"

Several Pokémon looked thoughtful.

"So don't be discouraged, believe in yourself, we still have a long way to go," Raven encouraged.

As for Bictini...

Upon hearing these words, the Pokémon quickly perked up.

That's right! If they trained for a thousand years, they would definitely be able to become a match for that Kyurem!
Seeing that the Pokémon were not discouraged by being overwhelmed, Raven breathed a sigh of relief.

He carefully recalled the battle that had just taken place.

Judging from Kyurem's performance, it is clear that it did not unleash its full potential.

When battling Serperior, Dragonair, and Burning Bug, it could be said that it had already unleashed its full power.

When his opponent changed to the stronger Victini, Kyurem finally unleashed some of his true power.

It becomes weak when facing weak opponents and strong when facing strong opponents... Or perhaps Kyurem has seen through the truth that Victini is not his Pokémon?

But this also gave Raven a glimmer of hope.

However, in the end, it was because their strength was too weak.

"As expected, subduing Kyurem is not an easy task." Raven couldn't help but smile wryly.

If he had been given a year or two, he would definitely not be as helpless as he is today, but they don't have that much time.

"No matter what, we must not give up."

Raven turned his gaze to the wild Ice-type Pokémon around him.

"There aren't many Ice-type Pokémon near the territory. Neither Serperior, Dragonair, nor Flamewaker have much experience dealing with Ice-type Pokémon."

"In that case, let's focus on this aspect and give the Dragonair and the others special training so that they can improve their strength and master ice-type moves, and then challenge Kyurem!"

Moreover, the opportunity to battle a legendary Pokémon is extremely rare.

"Even if we can't capture Kyurem, we can still use the battle against it to improve the strength of Dragonair and the others as much as possible!"

Raven quickly adjusted his mindset.

However, at that moment, he suddenly heard a whooshing sound.

Before Raven could react, the Serpent Lord beside him condensed an energy ball in its mouth and fired it backward.

With a loud bang, Raven felt a large explosion behind him.

There is an enemy attack!
The Pokémon immediately became alert.

He immediately turned around, and the next second, he saw three figures of different shapes emerging from the smoke.

Those three Pokémon are… Raven recognized them at a glance.

The three holy swordsmen who taught Keldeo in the movie: Terrakion, Virizion, and Cobalion!

How did they end up here? And why do they seem so hostile towards them?

Raven felt a sense of unease and uncertainty.

Just then, a furious voice rose in his mind.

"Humans, let go of those Pokémon!"

The one speaking was clearly Delacion.

Like the Kyurem, they can use telepathy!

“What do you mean?” Raven asked.

"Hmph, hypocritical humans, stop pretending! It's because you people start wars so casually that countless Pokémon have lost their homes and their lives!" Terrakion sneered.

They seem to be full of hostility towards humans.

Upon seeing this, Raven quickly reacted.

The reason the 【Swordsman】 organization was established is because these three Pokémon witnessed everything that ancient humans did to Pokémon. That's why the Swordsman organization was formed to fight against humans everywhere in order to protect the Pokémon on this land!

"Take one of my moves!"

With a roar, Deraqion's body shone with an earthy yellow light, which surged and formed a holy sword above its head, radiating a sacred aura.

Raven's heart sank.

Damn it, that's the Holy Sword! This Tyranitar has gone mad, it unleashed its ultimate attack right from the start!

Seeing this, several Pokémon quickly stepped forward, their mouths gleaming with energy, and each used their moves to try and block Terrakion's attack.

However, their moves were easily broken by the battle-hardened and experienced Delacion.

Ultimately, Delacion and Bictini collided.

Holy Sword vs. Flame!

Upon seeing this, Gopaloon and Biligion behind them were slightly startled.

What do they see?
As a Pokémon... it's actually actively protecting humans?!
Upon seeing the Pokémon blocking its path, Terrakion, not wanting to hurt it, quickly sheathed its Sacred Sword and jumped aside.

Clearly, their hostility is directed only at humans.

Terrakion was puzzled as it looked at the Pokémon in front of it that were full of hostility towards it.

"Why are you stopping me? I'm here to rescue you from this despicable human!"

rescue?

"Ugh!" Dragonair was getting angry. Why was this Pokémon talking to itself? Raven had never hurt them!
The Serpent Lord remained silent, calmly standing in front of Raven in a protective stance.

The Burning Bugs, which Raven personally hatched and raised, even breathed directly at these guys.

"Meow!"

"What? You mean this human didn't harm you?" Derachion was stunned. Its first reaction was, "How is that possible?!"
Raven stepped forward and patted the heads of Hakron and Burning Bug, then turned his gaze to the Holy Swordsman in front of him.

"I think there might be some misunderstandings involved."

……

On a cliff above the cave of giants.

Kyurem stood atop, silently surveying the scene below.

Two streams of cold white air shot out from its nasal cavity.

"Um……"

This battle is not over yet.

Only those who are determined, courageous, and never give up can gain its approval.
