-----------------

Shiny scales, wiry muscles, and sharp eyes. Although it no longer looks that young, its majestic aura shows that it is at the peak of its power.

Even compared to Tapu Fin-Fin who possesses legendary power, this powerful being is not inferior in any way, and even appears more imposing due to his huge size.

Undoubtedly, among the champion Pokémon, it is difficult to find a more powerful one than it.

Even Genji's Dragonite, which Firion had benefited greatly from, or Master Kikuko's Gengar, would be difficult to suppress without using mega evolution to possess legendary power.

Even if mega evolution is used, it might just be on par with it.

At least, at this moment, the Dragonite, who was facing a formidable enemy next to Firion, had no absolute certainty of winning the battle.

Only a few champions' trump cards, those genuine legendary Pokémon, can suppress this kind of power. Even though Firion has the Nightmare Guardian, he still feels a little pressured.

Feeling the wild and vigorous aura pressing in from all directions, Firion took the initiative to step forward, holding up the teardrop-shaped pendant high, and introduced himself in a loud voice:

"I don't mean to bother you. I am the messenger of Tapu Fin-Fin. It has something important that it wants to ask you to go to the ruins of the other shore for help. It also has your tribe. This is its token."

Unexpectedly, the Overlord Armored Dragon didn't even look at the token presented by Firion, strode past him, and rushed straight to Firion's Armored Dragon.

Its huge eyes emitted a bright light. It could no longer see anything else in its eyes. It was just staring intently at the little guy it was meeting for the first time.

The boiling blood made it realize instantly that the Pokémon in front of it must have a very close blood relationship with itself.

They are not relatives like parents, but they are also real and close people.

“Lanka…?”

Firion's Staff-tailed Ankylosaur raised its head blankly, looking at its own kind that was even bigger than itself, which it had seen for the first time in its life. Its head subconsciously tilted to the left.

In the dim light, it seemed to feel some subtle and intimate emotion.

It is rarely encountered on humans or Pokémon other than Firion and his companions.

If we have to say something, given its simple character of having extremely simple social relationships and never caring too much about this matter, the only examples with which it has a very close relationship are Cocobul and Corny.

Driven by curiosity and the call of the heart, the Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon looked around curiously at its fellows, with a wave of joy rising in its heart.

Although it was the first time it visited this place and the first time it saw these fellows, it was now certain that this was the hometown dormant in its blood memory.

The boiling waves rushed out of his body with the surging emotions, merging into a blue ocean, shocking all the fellow tribesmen who were watching, including the tyrannical overlord.

Unable to conceal his shock, the Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon stood there in a daze. Then he felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart and roared towards the sky.

"Lanka!——"

With a roar of joy, it confirmed the identity and existence of the Armored Dragon.

There is only one rod-tailed scaly-armored dragon in the tribe's history that can use wave power.

Memories hidden in the deepest part of a long life surface again.

That was over a hundred years ago.

When it was still a young dragon, the talented and unique predecessor walked out of the Grand Canyon where they had lived for generations, and even bid farewell to the god they served, Tapu Fin-Fin, and walked straight out of Poni Island.

From then on, there was no news related to it for a long time.

The long river of time has repeatedly washed away the memories that once left a deep impression on its young age, gradually fading until they were almost forgotten, until they awakened again at this moment.

It had never expected to see the same power again, but today it received an unexpected surprise.

Although the power that appeared in Firio's Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon was still immature, the familiar fluctuations made it certain that this was the bloodline from the predecessor who had taken care of it when it was a child.

The chief's long roar stirred the emotions of the entire tribe. The earth-shaking dragon roar echoed in the valley, spread to distant places, and awakened the silent Pony Grand Canyon.

The echoes resounded in the valley. The Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Ankylosaur turned its head and looked at Firion.

It silently asked about the life story of the Staff-tailed Scaled Ankylosaurus, and Firion did not hide anything, telling it all his experiences starting from Miare.

After learning that Firion was also unaware of the whereabouts of the Armored Dragon's parents, a trace of loneliness and frustration flashed in the eyes of the Overlord Armored Dragon, but it was only for a brief moment.

Soon, it turned back into the overlord that supported the entire tribe and guarded the altar of the gods for decades.

The sharp eyes were full of majesty as they looked down at Firion, examining him.

Firion's gaze was neither humble nor arrogant, his superpowers faintly emanating from his body, intertwining with the aura of the Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Ankylosaur in the air.

“…Lanka!”

Soon, the Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon gave up trying to detect its breath, turned and walked towards the cave, motioning for Firion to follow.

The vast tribe of rod-tailed armored dragons followed closely behind the tribe leader like a well-trained army, guarding Firio and his companions as they entered the intricate cave.

In the darkness, only the scattered gems and light mosses embedded in the rock walls can provide light, but for them who have lived here for countless years, they are already familiar with the place.

Guided by the crisp sound of scales, the long and narrow path twisted and turned, and then suddenly opened up, leading to a huge cave.

They arrived at the habitat of the dominant Ankylosaurus rod-tailed, which was also the core of the entire tribe.

Countless scales containing powerful and mysterious power are embedded in the huge cave walls, emitting a faint light.

Each of them looks like a powerful, lifelike, rod-tailed armored dragon, roaring to the sky.

This is not only a dragon's lair, but also seems to be a dragon's tomb that has accumulated for countless years. The baptism of time has become the foundation of the ethnic group.

“Lanka…?”

Firion's staff-tailed scaly dragon stood quietly in the center of the cave, looking around. The call in his heart quietly dissipated, replaced by a gentle and intimate feeling.

The star-like lights gathered together, illuminating the cave, and allowing it to see the true appearance of each scale.

Some of them look like they were hung up not long ago, while others are already full of traces of time, becoming mottled in color, silently telling the history.

It looked at it quietly, and its fellow tribesmen around it also remained silent, not disturbing this wanderer who had been away from home for a long time.

Suddenly, a piece of scale armor placed near the center glowed with a strange light, emitting waves that made it feel warm.

"Lanka!"

Subconsciously walking up, the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon stretched out his hand, touched it with joy but also a little timidity, then turned his head and showed a happy expression to Firion.

It feels the breath of loved ones.

"It seems this is your home. It's a pleasant surprise, and it's worth celebrating."

Firio smiled, stood on tiptoe, hugged the big head of the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon, and spoke softly.

The Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon also nodded vigorously, revealing its signature honest smile in Firio's arms.

"..."

In the distance, the Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon looked at the man and the Pokémon, seemingly thinking about something.

After a while, when it saw that they had stopped whispering, it walked forward, stretched out its sharp claws, and gently tapped Firio.

"Lanka!"

The overlord, who was already showing signs of aging, looked at Firion very seriously and made his request.

It hopes that Firion can allow the Staff-tailed Scaled Ankylosaurus to stay in the tribe and inherit its and its father's mantle.

Protect this island on behalf of myself who has already reached my limit.

It can see the potential of the Armored Dragon, which is beyond its reach.

The dragon race, which possesses the power of waves, has unlimited prospects. The legendary barrier is an insurmountable obstacle for such beings, but it is not the case for beings with real talents.

"..."

Firio understood what it meant and raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to speak, the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon rushed to him first and bared its teeth at the Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon.

"Lanka! Lanka!!!"

The face of the staff-tailed armored dragon was filled with indifference and anger, and his voice was also decisive.

Although it felt a certain closeness and blood connection to the big guy in front of it and the hundreds of its own kind around it, it never intended to stay here.

For it, its true blood-related relatives are right behind it.

It’s Firio, Loudmouth, Emperor Nabo, and everyone who watched me grow up.

"Lanka..."

Seeing the expression of the Staff-tailed Ankylosaurus, the Overlord Staff-tailed Ankylosaurus suddenly became dazed.

Although time has passed, it seems as if it has traveled through time and space and returned to hundreds of years ago at this moment.

It still vaguely remembered that the last time it met that senior, it seemed to have seen a similar expression.

Full of determination and without any room for doubt.

The look it gave Firion became somewhat complicated.

There is both warm appreciation and a little bit of loss.

But soon, the unnecessary emotions dissipated and he returned to his solemn and awe-inspiring self.

As the guardian of the Bonnie Canyon and the leader of the rod-tailed scaly dragon tribe, it is no longer the child who would feel sad about the departure of its predecessors.

“Lanka…!”

Looking at the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon with a stern face, it let out a low growl with a hoarse voice.

As if it was an order that could not be disobeyed, the fellow tribesmen who were originally scattered throughout the cave immediately dispersed, formed a loose circle around the edge of the wall, and surrounded Firio and his companions in the middle.

Firio frowned slightly, and said in a cold tone: "Why, do you want to fight with your superior numbers?"

"Lanka!"

The Overlord Armored Dragon shook his head, first pointed at Firion, then at himself, and then pointed firmly at the Armored Dragon.

Its meaning is very clear. If you want to complete Tapu Fin-Fin's commission, you have to have a one-on-one battle first.

Let's have a direct confrontation between the staff-tailed scaly dragons.

The surrounding Ankylosaurus and Scutosaurus in the distance all rapped their shining scales. The noisy metallic sound became more and more intense due to the confined space of the cave, making a sound that would scare all wild Pokémon.

Then, they stepped on the ground and used their unique pace to beat out tunes that have been passed down from ancient times to the present day.

That is the legendary war melody created to dispel darkness.

That was the signal for battle.

Firio's eyes were somewhat unfriendly: "It seems that you want to bully the weak?"

"Madge!"

The dream demon above his head also revealed a dangerous expression, and the overlord aura spread from his body, which was even more powerful than that of the overlord staff-tailed scaly dragon.

It doesn't allow anyone to bully its younger brother, even though it is always bullied by itself, but it cannot be bullied by outsiders.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Ignoring the dream demon's tyrannical aura, the Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon's eyes did not waver at all. He looked at Firion from a distance and even revealed a barely perceptible smile.

At this time, Firion's Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon took the initiative to step forward and blocked him and the Nightmare behind him.

"Lanka!"

With a loud roar, facing the old senior who was much stronger than itself, it took a fighting stance and showed no weakness.

The smile on the Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Ankylosaurus's face became more and more obvious, and he opened his arms in a hunting posture.

In an instant, the dominant aura based on the island's aura burst out from its body.

Although the aura filled with divine power is not as large as that of the legendary dream demon in scale, it is still more magical.

The strength of the whole body increased dramatically in an instant, and the legendary barrier was easily broken through. Although it was only a short breakthrough with the help of external force, he truly possessed the power of legend.

The overwhelming force pressed down on the Armored Dragon without reservation, and the overwhelming force made it feel unprecedented pressure immediately because it had never experienced carrying a heavy responsibility alone.

The aura that was almost condensed into substance was slightly stronger than the attack of the nightmare demon, like a howling hurricane, causing it to unconsciously take a step back, its feet sinking deeply into the ground, and the muscles all over its body suddenly tensed up.

If the fighting style of the Staff-tailed Scaly-armored Dragon is based on the skills and ferocity of human fighters, then the giant dragon in front of us, which has dominated Poni Island for more than a hundred years, fully displays the wildness and unruliness of the dragon clan.

They are completely different, but inexplicably have a similar charm.
