Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 242 The Battle Between Siblings, The Lost Flute of Infinity (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Upon learning that Latias had been subdued by humans, Latios was furious... Those despicable humans, they still covet the power of "Water City", and even went after his own sister!

"Um... something just feels off."

What Mingyou found strange was what Latias had just said, which was practically drawing the conflict onto himself. Although the child probably didn't realize it, he had taken care of him for so long, and he knew Latias's personality all too well.

He just didn't want to go back with his brother, but since it was a family dispute, he usually wouldn't get involved in the team to support either side. But this time was different. Latias is indeed his Pokémon, and he is also his guardian and parent!

That's why he wouldn't just let Latias go with him. Listening to the child's opinion is very important for parents, but if that's the case, this matter certainly won't end easily.

So, just as he was about to argue with Latios, he continued, "Then why don't we win with strength?"

"Um?"

"Let's have a battle. I'll use this child to fight you. If we win, it means it's truly capable of living independently, and you won't need to worry about its life anymore. But if you win, it means I haven't taken good care of it, and you'll have to continue!"

Mingyou's approach was direct, simple, and straightforward, using the quickest method to prove that Latias's current strength and growth meant he no longer needed his brother's protection.

Upon hearing this, Latias froze on the spot, his orange eyes filled with confusion. Why did the conversation suddenly turn to the battle?

Besides, I'm not good at fighting... Fighting is only good for bullying kids. A few days ago, I was unilaterally suppressed by Iron Warrior in the online world, so I've long lost confidence in defeating my opponent.

Latios was even more puzzled. "I want to argue with you! Why did you bring out my sister and use her for a battle?"

impossible!

I might as well just kill you; I'm sure that way, my sister will be able to recover.

As Mingyou finished speaking, the atmosphere became increasingly strange. Everyone had their own thoughts, and Ponpo kept shifting her gaze, unsure of who to look at.

In the end, Latios decided to attack Naruyu. After all, why bother with all that nonsense? How could he not know his sister's strength? She wasn't even proficient in telepathy, let alone anything else.

But seeing that Mingyou was being attacked, Latias stepped forward without hesitation and blocked the attack. It stared at Latios with a resentful look, as if it had made its own decision at that moment!

"Waaah!"

Let's have a fight!

Although it didn't want to fight, there was nothing it could do now that things had come to this, and it would never allow its brother to attack Mingyou indiscriminately!

Seeing that it accepted, Mingyou's lips curled up slightly. As expected, in the end, it still had to be resolved through battle. Then let your brother see how much you've grown since leaving the island!

"Let's fight!"

"Waaah!"

"etc!"

Seeing that Mingyou was actually commanding his sister to fight against him, Latios quickly distanced himself to avoid the attack.

Before Mingyou could even utter a sound, Latias naturally gathered five-colored energy and shot a Dragon Pulse into the air. As soon as Latias came to its senses, it realized that it could not avoid the attack and could only release its mental power to defend.

The dragon's wave was successfully blocked, leaving it utterly astonished. Its lazy, good-for-nothing sister could actually fight now? How was that possible?

"Nothing is impossible, which just shows you haven't really cared about it at all!"

Naruto responded, then waved his hand and shouted, "One more time, Dragon Pulse!"

"Waaah~"

"What exactly is going on...?"

Before Latios could figure out what was going on, he quickly opened his mouth, and many white flashes gathered in front of him until they formed a pink energy halo. Then, a pink energy beam shot out from the halo.

The pure light and the dragon's energy collided fiercely in mid-air, and the resulting energy shockwave overturned the grass on the ground.

This clash of energy left Latios even more astonished... In such a short time, his sister had almost surpassed him.

But how could that be? It knows Latias best and knows that the other party is impossible to listen to, that is, to seriously learn things... It seems that it has indeed been controlled.

"Waaah!"

You've been controlled by an evil organization!

Latias was furious. It hated this kind of thing the most. As for its rapid increase in strength, of course it was from eating it. In addition, it had helped Mingyou fight a lot, so its progress was obvious.

This is its confidence and the strength it wants to show its brother. Now, as long as it is with Mingyou, it can still defeat its opponent!

"Waaah!"

At the moment the Dragon Wave and the Cleansing Glow collided and exploded, it immediately gathered Dragon Energy again, deliberately lowered its altitude, and without hesitation, launched a meteor shower with a deafening roar.

The meteor streaked through the mist, and Latios snapped back to reality, trying to dodge it. But before the meteor could touch anything, it still exploded in mid-air—this was the workings of psychic power!

Latias's mental strength is now many times stronger than when it was captured by Team Rocket. It probably doesn't even realize it itself. The overall strength of the Pokémon in the manor has been unknowingly improved under this environment.

The shattered meteor shower changed its trajectory, blooming like fireworks released in reverse. Although Latios reacted in time, he was unable to control the meteors with his mental power. Because of his overconfidence, he missed the best opportunity to avoid them and was directly hit by the meteor shower. The effect was quite remarkable!

"Waaah~"

Latias raised his head smugly. "See? Now who's the idiot!"

"Alright, there's no need to be smug or mock this. No matter what, it's still your brother."

Mingyou felt it was necessary to educate him; these bad habits were all spoiled by Latios, and it would be better to correct them.

As the smoke dissipated, a somewhat disheveled Latios slowly took to the air. It had witnessed that its sister's current strength and growth far exceeded its expectations, even to an absurd degree!

Even if it racked its brains, it couldn't have imagined that it could grow so rapidly in such a short time, even though it hadn't used its full strength to fight its sister...

"Waaah~"

Should we continue?

With the advantage in hand, Latias began to gain confidence. As long as Mingyou could command from behind, it believed that it might actually be able to defeat its brother!

Unfortunately, Latios shook its head and refused. Having witnessed its sister's growth after leaving it, what else could it say? Mental strength cannot be faked; this talent is simply terrifying.

I can only say she's truly my sister!

But that's not enough. We must get rid of this human accessory and still have the power without needing the other party to command us.

"Waaah!"

Mingyou isn't an accessory, she's an idiot!

Latias immediately retorted, while Naruto behind him shook his head and facepalmed. How could anyone praise someone like that…

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be developing in a positive direction, Ponpo, who had been worried for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief. It was really worried that everyone would fight to the death.

Although Latios did have the idea of ​​throwing someone onto a deserted island in the ocean to survive in the wilderness, there was little chance of it happening.

Moreover, its long-lost sister has been found and has become so much stronger. If it weren't for the annoying accessory, it would be overjoyed.

Unfortunately, the pendant is still there, even reaching out to touch Latias's head...

Seeing this, Latios's face turned cold, and it was burning with anger, looking like it was about to start another fight. But compared to that, it obviously had other things to do besides wanting to bring its sister back.

"A pendant!"

It coldly called out to Mingyou, but the other party responded calmly: "I'm not called a pendant, I'm called Mingyou. If you don't want to call me that, you can call me brother like this child does. I can handle it."

"I'll kill you after I finish asking my questions!"

Latios was clearly prepared to send the other party to a remote island, but before that, it asked in a serious tone, "Pendant, have you heard of or seen a flute that resembles our wings? Last year, a human stole the Flute of Infinity, and I have been searching for its whereabouts ever since."

"The Flute of Infinity?"
