Pokémon: Blessed by Fate, starting with the destruction of Tyranitar.

As for the small red dot in the middle, Li Huowang had no idea about it.

I just felt that the little red dot was a bit eerie.

Just then, the elder of Guanfeng Town, who had just left, returned again.

"Elder, you've arrived?"

Li Huowang glanced at the elder of Guanfeng Town with some surprise.

"Well, I originally wanted to go and deal with some things in Guanfeng Town, but I heard from others that the matter has been settled. I was worried that you might encounter some danger here, so after thinking about it, I decided it would be better to come back."

"At least I know some places where I can avoid those self-destructing small stones."

After hearing the words of the elder of Guanfeng Town, Li Huowang cupped his hands to the elder and said, "Elder, you are very kind."

"You're welcome."

Li Huowang then pointed to the mural in front of him and asked the elder of Guanfeng Town, "Elder, what is the meaning of this mural?"

"Oh, this wall?"

After pondering for a while, the elder of Guanfeng Town continued, "This ancient mural depicts deities, and those deities possess great power."

"To maintain this powerful force, the three elves formed a tripod to maintain balance."

Immediately afterwards, the elder of Guanfeng Town began to speak at length.

After the elders of Guanfeng Town explained, Li Huowang learned that the three spirits depicted in the mural were actually from an ancient legend circulating in the Xin'ao area of ​​Guanfeng Town.

"By the way, this is for you."

As the elder of Guanfeng Town spoke, he took out an item that looked like a CD and handed it to Li Huowang.

After receiving the disc from the elder of Guanfeng Town, Li Huowang discovered that the item was actually a Pokémon TM, specifically a TM for the Water-type move Surf.

Upon seeing this, Li Huowang frowned instantly.

His Swampert already has the Water-type move Surf, so it doesn't seem like it would be of much use to him.

"Elder, I already have a Pokémon that has mastered the Water-type move Surf, you should probably put this thing away..."

"no need."

The elder of Guanfeng Town waved his hand at Li Huowang and said, "This actually belongs to Xirona. It's been kept here by me and it's not of any use to me. You should keep it."

"Even though you have a Pokémon that has already mastered the Surf skill, what if you meet other Pokémon you like in the future?"

Upon hearing what the elder of Guanfeng Town said, Li Huowang fell silent again.

What they said seems to make some sense?

If I ever catch a Kyogre in the future, and that Kyogre doesn't have the Surf water-type move, then I can let Kyogre learn the Surf water-type move through this TM.

Even if you don't let Kyogre use it, you can still use it if you catch a Water-type Pokémon like Lapras or another Pokémon in the future.

With this in mind, Li Huowang finally accepted the learning tool for this move.

"By the way, now that you've come all this way to Crown Phoenix Town, I imagine you'll be challenging the Green Edge Gym soon, right?"

"It seems that only by obtaining the Green Edge Gym Badge can Pokémon use Surf in situations other than battle."

“Yes, I did come to Guanfeng Town this time to get the Green Edge Gym badge.” Li Huowang nodded.

What he didn't tell the elders of Crown Phoenix Town was that Li Huowang had already had Swampert use the Surf skill before coming to Crown Phoenix Town.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been able to reach the Nose Dojo.

230. Return to Verdant City and prepare to challenge the Verdant City Gym.

However, Li Huowang knew that it would be difficult to explain anything other than elves to the elders of Guanfeng Town.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Li Huowang ultimately chose to keep it a secret.

After Li Huowang followed the elders of Guanfeng Town out of the town, the elders received another message and looked troubled.

Seeing the elder of Guanfeng Town looking like this, Li Huowang immediately asked, "Elder, what happened to you?"

"I'm really sorry, I probably can't be your guide anymore. You can wander around on your own from now on. See you later."

After the elder of Guanfeng Town finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

At that moment, another blue-haired boy walked towards Li Huowang.

"Why is Guanfeng Town so boring? And it seems like there's always war going on in other places. Shouldn't we look to the world more?"

“I think what you said makes sense,” Li Huowang said, stepping forward to the blue-haired boy.

Hearing Li Huowang say that, the blue-haired boy looked at Li Huowang with some surprise.

"I thought I was the only one with this wish. I didn't expect you to share this view. Haha, that's great. It seems that not all Pokémon trainers like to prepare for wars that can be avoided."

"I've finally found someone who shares my values."

As he spoke, the blue-haired boy extended his hand and shook hands with Li Huowang, saying, "Hello, my name is Akagi. I am seeking power in order to build an ideal world without boring strife."

"That's a good idea, but I think it will be quite difficult to realize this wish."

For some reason, Li Huowang felt that this guy named Chi Mu looked somewhat familiar.

At that moment, Akagi seemed to recall something as well.

"Oh, I remember now, we met at Dianyuan Mountain. Your name was Li Huowang, wasn't it?"

“Yes,” Li Huowang replied.

"By the way, Li Huowang, if you discover what the legendary bound power is, please tell me. It is an essential power for creating a new world."

After saying that, Akagi turned and left.

"Why is this guy acting so strangely?"

Watching Akagi's rapidly receding figure, Li Huowang sighed helplessly.

However, he had seen quite a few oddballs along the way, so one more Akagi wouldn't make a difference.

"It sounds like this guy's goal is similar to that of the people in the Galactic Group and the Plasma Group?"

Li Huowang muttered something and then continued wandering around.

Not long after, Li Huowang made another new discovery.

On the wall at the entrance of the cave, there seem to be two other patterns carved.

Judging from the outlines of the two images, they should be two elves.

Unlike the previous mural, these two murals have some explanations attached to them.

It says things that pass through time: the past, the future, and the present.

The only thing that disappointed Li Huowang was that, after pondering it carefully for a while, he still couldn't figure out the meaning of the sentence.

"Forget it, let's go challenge the Green Edge Gym first. Akagi is right, Phoenix Town is just too boring."

Then, Li Huowang released his Zapdos and commanded it to use a Fly skill.

In the blink of an eye, Li Huowang arrived in Green Edge City once again.

In Li Huowang's memory, the Green Edge Dojo seemed to be located in Green Edge City, which wasn't actually that far from Guanfeng Town.

"It's still better here. I guess if those Pokémon trainers in Crown Phoenix Town want to go out, Green Edge City will be their first stop."

Looking at the familiar city streets, Li Huowang couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

"Let's challenge the Green Edge Gym first."

Li Huowang made a decision quickly.

He had already replenished all the items he needed back in Crown Phoenix Town, and there were no other Pokémon waiting for him to catch in Green Edge City.

"Wait, this Green Edge Gym seems to be a Ghost-type gym?"

"So, does that mean I can't send Gengar to battle the Green Edge Gym, and I have to use other Pokémon instead?"

Li Huowang remembered that although Ghost-type Pokémon were extremely effective against Ghost-type Pokémon, he thought it best not to send Gengar into battle just to be on the safe side.

After all, Gengar is a Ghost-type Pokémon. If it gets accidentally defeated by another Ghost-type Pokémon, then I'll definitely have to spend a lot of time restoring Gengar's HP, which is obviously not worth it.

Although his shiny Gyarados also possessed the Dark-type move Crunch, Li Huowang thought about it carefully and felt that it wasn't entirely safe to challenge the Green Edge Gym with just a shiny Gyarados.

"Let's go catch a Pokémon of another type in the wild first."

231. Head to the cliffs of Leyline City to prepare for the capture of Darkrai.

As he thought this, the images of several Dark-type Pokémon flashed through Li Huowang's mind.

In Li Huowang's memory, there weren't many Dark-type legendary Pokémon, only Hoopa, Darkrai, Yveltal, and Arceus.

"Arceus and Hoopa are out of the question, they're too hard to catch, and I doubt we'll encounter them anytime soon. The same goes for Yveltal, a Dark/Flying type Pokémon."

Li Huowang thought about it carefully and realized that the only place he was sure would be where Darkrai was.

He remembered that Darkrai seemed to have appeared in the vicinity of Canal City, and that when Darkrai first appeared in Canal City, it caused nightmares for everyone in the city.

It is precisely because of this that Darkrai, a legendary Pokémon, is also referred to as the "Nightmare God" by some Pokémon trainers.

"Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Darkrai is about to make its appearance soon."

Darkrai, the Dark-type Pokémon, is indeed very powerful, but it is also very rare to encounter, appearing only once a year.

If it weren't for the time when Darkrai appeared, Li Huowang felt he would have preferred to catch a Dark/Flying-type Yveltal instead.

Thinking this, Li Huowang looked up at his Zapdos on the field and said to it, "Zapdos, if we go to Canaleye City now, will we be able to get back to Verdanturf City tomorrow?"

"It should be fine. Speed ​​is my specialty."

Upon hearing Zapdos's words, Li Huowang's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, immediately settled down.

If he can get back to Verdant City by tomorrow morning, he can continue challenging the Verdant City Gym.

Having previously purchased a large number of Super Balls in Guanfeng Town, Li Huowang was confident enough to catch a Darkrai.

Immediately afterwards, Li Huowang climbed onto Zapdos's back and let Zapdos carry him all the way towards Vein City.

However, Li Huowang did not land in the urban area of ​​Watervein City, but instead directed Zapdos to fly towards a cliff in Watervein City.

Just as Li Huowang had landed Zapdos and climbed down from its back, Zapdos cried out warily.

Li Huowang glanced around warily and saw an elf standing not far ahead, exuding an extremely dangerous aura.

That smoky figure, with a pair of very distinctive blue eyes, and the iconic white hair that covered most of his face.

Isn't this exactly the Darkrai I've been trying to capture?

Upon seeing this, Li Huowang couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.

He knew that a Darkrai would always appear here.

Li Huowang winked at Zapdos beside him, then led Zapdos towards Darkrai.

However, to Li Huowang's surprise, Darkrai also seemed very wary.

As Li Huowang and Zapdos approached the Darkrai, the Darkrai instinctively took a few steps back.

Seeing this, Li Huowang realized that the Darkrai might be trying to escape, so he quickly threw out the Poké Ball containing the Shiny Gyarados.

The shiny Gyarados immediately cut off Darkrai's path.

Once Darkrai realized he had nowhere to retreat, he issued a warning to Li Huowang.

"Warning me won't work."

Li Huowang shook his head, then took out a Super Ball from his backpack and said to the Darkrai not far ahead, "As long as you obediently let this Super Ball take you in, everything will be fine."

"Hmph!"

Darkrai gave Li Huowang a cold snort, clearly showing his disdain for him.

"Pokémon Trainer, you think you can catch me so easily?"

"In that case, I have no choice but to beat you into submission first."

Li Huowang knew that Pokémon with high base stats like these could usually communicate with their trainers.

Not all Pokémon are willing to be captured by Pokémon trainers.

The higher a Pokémon's base stats are, the rarer it is, and the more it looks down on Pokémon trainers.

Unless a Pokémon trainer truly demonstrates strength that can be recognized by their Pokémon, they will not be willing to become a member of the trainer's team.
