Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

446. Return to the cave to prepare for unsealing.

A fiery beast resembling the creature from the Xicui region stood before Dong Yan, and a purple pillar of fire shot out from its mouth!

The fierce flames immediately blocked the advance of the Dark Tail Fish.

The collision of flames and water creates a large amount of mist-like vapor that spreads in all directions.

"Oh!"

But amidst the smoke, the Firestorm Beast and the Ghost Tail Black Fish still clashed head-on.

Neither of them would give in!

"The Pokémon here are a bit too strong..." Nanfeng couldn't help but mutter.

Having one near-champion level Pokémon is one thing, but having two? And maybe even more. Considering the outside world, even wild Pokémon of Champion level strength are hard to find.

"Shadow attack!" Dong Yan shouted in a low voice.

The Darktail Blackfish extended two claws from its shadow on the ground and firmly gripped its waist. For normal aquatic fish spirits like the Savage Bass and the Horned Goldfish, once they are trapped on the shore, they have already lost.

But for a Ghost-type Pokémon like Darktail, since I'm already dead, why should I care if I'm on the shore or not?

The shadow attack only prevented it from escaping back into the water.

The Dark Tail Fish was no pushover either. Realizing it couldn't escape, its face grew even more ferocious, and it roared as it unleashed a barrage of shadow orbs.

"Shadow Claw!" Dong Yan calmly followed the command.

Purple flames erupted from the Firestorm Beast's back, and deep purple claws appeared on its arms. It swung them wildly, shattering all the Shadow Orbs flying towards it. Then, it slapped the Dark Tail Black Fish across the face, sending it flying.

"Flash Charge!"

The Firestorm Beast crouched on all fours and ran quickly, followed by a purple chariot that roared up and sent the Ghost-Tailed Black Fish flying through the air.

It's clear that this Firestorm Beast is stronger than the Ghosttail Blackfish, even though the Firestorm Beast is actually at a disadvantage. However, since both possess the Ghost attribute, the advantage is mutual.

The Firestorm Beast's combo attack completely stunned the Dark Tail Black Fish.

So much so that it was captured into a Poké Ball before it even had a chance to demonstrate its champion-level fighting power.

Struggled, but to no avail.

One minute later, Senior Dong Yan successfully subdued the Ghost Tail Fish.

"Congratulations, Brother Yan, on recruiting two great generals! You'll definitely win the championship with ease!" Huo Wenjie offered his congratulations immediately.

"It's still early," Dong Yan said, a rare smile appearing on his usually stern face.

However, as he said, it's still a long way off.

Although the two Pokémon may have near-champion level combat power, they are wild Pokémon and have undergone a long period of training and specialized move training to reach their combat strength.

Otherwise, if it attacked and charged like the Darktail just now, an ordinary trainer could probably beat it up with a Champion-level Pokémon.

After putting away the two Poké Balls, Dong Yan thanked Nan Feng, saying, "Junior, thank you so much. I owe you a lot this time. I'll send you the training method for Demon Shadow when we get back."

"Of course," Nanfeng waved his hand.

"Brother Yan, why aren't you thanking me?"

"Why thank me? It's not like you found it for me, and you even took a fee from me."

Huo Wenjie silently raised his middle finger.

"Senior, did you set up any protective stones in the secret realm? Like the ones we saw when we came in just now?" Nanfeng suddenly asked.

Dong Yan paused for a moment, then shook his head slightly. "No, what's wrong?"

"Oh, I just discovered a man-made tunnel while exploring the secret realm. There's a huge stone inside, and it seems like some incredible treasure is sealed beneath it, but I don't know how to unlock it." After confirming that it wasn't Dong Yan's thing, Nanfeng told the truth.

Upon hearing that there were suppressing stones in the secret realm, Dong Yan immediately became interested. "Let's go take a look!"

Nanfeng released a giant salamander to lead the way, and the group quickly arrived at the cave they had visited before.

"Such pure ghost attribute energy!" Standing at the entrance of the cave, Dong Yan immediately noticed its extraordinary nature and couldn't help but bend down to touch the energy that spread throughout the cave like a carpet.

"What makes me feel purely that the source of the ghostly attribute is the spirit world, and the source of the spirit world is it."

“I think so too,” Nanfeng said, gesturing for Mega Gardevoir to unleash Flash, and pointing to the deepest part of the cave. “Senior, the source is there, beneath the Stasis Stone.”

Dong Yan looked up and was immediately shocked. "What a huge town-suppressing stone, and so many talismans!"

He couldn't help but take a step forward, but was stopped by the south wind.

"Let the spirit lead us forward; this ghost-attribute energy will attack as we get closer."

With that, Nanfeng sent out his Growlithe, mounted it, and then stepped into the cave.

"It can even launch attacks on its own? It seems the source of this ghostly energy possesses self-awareness," Dong Yan pondered. Energy itself has no consciousness; only beings with self-awareness can manipulate energy to launch attacks.

As they spoke, Dong Yan and Huo Wenjie each sent out a Dorgon Barut, and they flipped over to sit on its back and move forward.

Arriving in front of the black stone, Dong Yan began to carefully examine the runes on it.

"How is it, senior? Can you crack it?" Nanfeng asked.

Dong Yan shook his head immediately. "No, I've never seen this kind of rune script before. It's at least two thousand years old, and it's very likely the script of a country or race we've never discovered before. There's simply no way to decipher it."

"Then... is it possible to crack it by brute force?"

Dong Yan did not answer Nan Feng's question immediately, but instead had Duolongbalut lead him around the black town stone.

"We can use brute force to break it. This stone (which is worth money) has been sealed for too long, and the seal has begun to loosen and break. The difficulty of breaking it by force has dropped dramatically, as can be seen from the ghostly energy scattered all over the cave."

"However, with such a massive sealing stone and the ground filled with pure ghostly energy, the thing suppressed beneath it is probably no ordinary being," Dong Yan warned. "You'd better think carefully before you try to break the seal on the sealing stone."

"Not simple... How simple could it be?" Nanfeng recounted the legendary Ghost-type Pokémon.

Giratina, Calycerin, Marshadow, Lunayara, Hoopa.Wei.

There should be only these five, right?

But it seems impossible that these five could be sealed here by the Zhenshi stone, right?

Since the other party isn't the legendary elf, what do I have to be afraid of?

Nanfeng grinned and pulled out a Poké Ball. "Since I'm already here, I'm not going to leave empty-handed."

447. Rayquaza? Illusion!

"Greninja, Spiral Aura Sphere!" Nanfeng threw out the Poké Ball.

Greninja leaped out of its Poké Ball, its hand gathering pale blue energy, and its gaze locked onto the massive rock before it immediately attacked!

The faint blue waveguide energy rapidly condensed and compressed into azure blue, and the Spiral Wave Missile descended from the sky, bombarding the black town stone.

"Zizzizi..."

It's clear that the massive black stone remains sturdy even after thousands of years. In Nanfeng's plan, this attack was meant to shatter it completely, not to grind a large hole in it like a grinding wheel at full speed.

When the spiral wave missile wore down the town stone, the actual situation surprised Nanfeng. The huge town stone had not been worn down at all; a single spiral wave missile had only left a white mark on it.

The results were extremely poor.

"Change to Fire, Electric, or Rock-type Pokémon," Dong Yan advised.

Nanfeng then released three more Poké Balls, and Blaziken, Zeraora, and Tyranitar all appeared on the field.

"Flame Kick"

"Plasma Lightning Fist"

"rockfall"

Blaziken dashed forward at lightning speed, leaping up a few meters from the town stone and delivering a powerful 180-degree kick in mid-air, complete with a "power-generating" technique.

Lightning crackled around Zeraora's fist as he leaped high into the air and delivered a powerful punch!

Break the darkness with thunder!

"Bangji!" Tyranitar roared, opening its arms wide as it prepared to use its power to manipulate the rock and destroy the town from the inside out.

Three forces—two external and one internal—interact with each other.

The massive, black stone finally showed signs of cracking!

It's hard to imagine how hard this stone must have been a thousand years ago; it must have been a rare treasure in itself.

"One more time!" Nanfeng commanded again. "Greninja, you go too!"

The three Pokémon, along with Greninja, launched another attack, relentlessly assaulting the enemy.

A minute later, the massive stone was shattered into pieces, and with Greninja's final Spiral Wave Missile, it crashed to the ground.

The moment the massive stone shattered, pure ghostly energy erupted like a fountain, raining down from the sky into the cave.

"This pure ghost-attribute energy seems like a good thing for the Pokémon to absorb," Nanfeng thought to himself, gazing at the black rain falling from the sky.

"Be careful, something's about to come out!" Dong Yan warned Nan Feng and Huo Wenjie in a low voice.

Two golden beads suddenly rose from the black fountain.

Suddenly, the fountain twisted and transformed into various shapes in mid-air. Finally, a giant serpentine dragon about twenty meters long appeared, and the two golden beads were its eyes!

"Rekkura...Rekkura?"

Nanfeng and the other two stared wide-eyed.

"Ah!!!" Huo Wenjie screamed, "Brother Yan, I'm doomed! I'm only in my early thirties, and I'm already hallucinating! I actually saw Lie Kong Zuo here!"

Dong Yan frowned deeply. Not only did he see it, but Huo Wenjie also saw it, which proved it wasn't a problem with his eyes. "Impossible! The last recorded sighting of the Lie Kong Zuo was three years ago. This town-suppressing stone has existed for over two thousand years, and there's only one Lie Kong Zuo in this world..."

"Could it be that the child of Liekongzuo?" Huo Wenjie said.

Human understanding of legendary Pokémon, especially Rayquaza, which is a top-tier Pokémon even in legends, is still too limited. Dong Yan didn't know if it was even possible.

"should.."

"No! This is just an illusion," Nanfeng's voice suddenly rang out, completely certain.

Dong Yan and Huo Wenjie couldn't help but turn their gazes to him.

"Leave it to me, I'll subdue it." Without explanation, Nanfeng stepped forward and blocked the two of them.

Take out an AdaGallery and recall Greninja, Blaziken, and Zeraora, leaving only Tyranitar standing on the battlefield.

"Tyranitar, roar!" Nanfeng commanded, revealing the Key Stone on his wrist.

The seven-colored light connects the South Wind and Bangia.

When the rainbow light on Tyranitar's body dissipated, it had completed its Mega Evolution.

"Banji!!!" The massive, ferocious-looking Mega Tyranitar roared, its arms outstretched, the demon face on its chest looking even more menacing!

Grayish dark energy spread outwards like sound waves with Mega Tyranitar's roar.

Rayquaza was not to be outdone. Its massive body twisted in mid-air, and suddenly a flash of light appeared on its body, transforming into a dazzling arrow that pierced through the gray sonic waves and shot straight at Mega Tyranitar.

If Nanfeng is not mistaken, this should be Rayquaza's exclusive ultimate move, "The Finishing Touch"!

"It really does look like it," Nanfeng commented, showing no fear whatsoever. He took out a Z-Crystal of the Evil attribute from his pocket and pressed it onto the Z-Enhanced Bracelet.

"Tyranitar, Z-Move, Black Hole - Devour Everything and Annihilate"

"Bantaki!" A gray aura emanated from Nanfeng's body and merged into Mega Tyranitar's body, instantly causing its roar to shake the entire cave.

Within its mouth, gray energy condensed into a deep darkness, and in the blink of an eye, a massive black hole appeared, ready to suck everything around it into its mouth!

Once the "finishing touch" was activated, Rayquaza had no time to brake and was pulled into the black hole by its power.

"Boom!" A huge explosion occurred immediately.

It blasted Rayquaza and Mega Tyranitar away.

Mega Tyranitar bent down and plunged its claws into the black soil to brake, reducing the force of its backward movement. Rayquaza, on the other hand, crashed directly into the wall, its more than twenty-meter-long dragon body instantly disintegrating into smoke, replaced by a fox about two meters tall, walking upright, pure white with blood-red tips on its fur.

The only thing that has never changed is its pair of golden, majestic, and noble eyes.

There were also faint wisps of air on its body surface, clearly indicating that it was still a dominant spirit!

"I knew I was right," Nanfeng said with a slight smile.

He recognized the Pokémon in front of him; it was Zoroark "Green Form." Like the regular Zoroark, it possessed the ability to cause illusions, but its type was not Dark. In fact, its only type weakness was Dark, because Zoroark "Green Form" had a unique Normal/Ghost type combination.
