Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

But hidden beneath this beautiful scenery lies immense power and destructive force.

"Boom boom boom"

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding area exploded as if it had been bombarded by missiles.

Tetsuya's ears were filled with the sound of violent explosions.

"Ledo"

Superpowers enveloped him, and he felt himself come back to life.

"Thank you, Gallade."

Tetsuya patted Gallade's body, then turned his gaze to where Salamence was.

In just a few seconds, it flew from the far sky to the nearest point.

"Ow—"

Dragonite's roar rang out once again.

Clearly, although the Dragon Elder's Salamence was incredibly powerful, it was still no match for the legendary Dragonite.

Even though Dragonite has already experienced quite intense battles, it is still the same.

"Get ready, move closer."

The Dragon Elder, leaning on his cane, squatted down and gently patted his old friend's head.

Salamence nodded, its eyes filled with fighting spirit as it looked at Dragonite.

Its blood-red wings flapped powerfully, and the strong wind propelled its massive body forward at high speed.

A white light enveloped it in an instant.

"Mega Evolution! Go! A red crescent moon piercing the sky!"

"Roar"

Amidst the slightly stunned gazes of everyone, a brand new Salamence appeared in the sky.

Two wings twisted and stuck together, forming a huge crescent-shaped wing. The head, neck, and torso became slender, the limbs became shorter, and the tail became long and thin, giving the body a perfect streamlined shape.

Its uppermost pair of delta wings on both sides of its head grew significantly, while the middle pair extended forward to its nose, making it look incredibly fierce in combination with the unchanged lowermost pair of wings.

The gray outer shell of the lower jaw fell off, revealing smooth red skin, while the outer shell of the abdomen became like a vest-like armor, and a pair of red semi-rings appeared at the base of the hind legs.

The legs, tucked into the gap, were obscured from view, and the already incredibly fast flight reached an even higher level.

Just as the Dragon Elder just shouted, Mega Salamence after Mega Evolution is a red crescent moon that pierces the sky.

With its massive wings swirling around a high-speed airflow, Mega Salamence charged furiously toward Dragonite, as if to slice it in two.

Even though Dragonite in its Outrage state doesn't have much rationality, it still knows who is stronger and who is weaker.

Its hands began to glow with purple waves, appearing as if they had swelled up and were several sizes larger than usual.

"Roar--"

The short dragon claw crashed into the Super Salamence as it swooped down.

But no one can say for sure that the latter will win.

Even though Mega Evolution brings a significant boost, the leap from Champion to Legendary Tier 3 is not easy.

Dragonite is still stronger than Mega Salamence.

A violent surge of energy erupted from where the two elves clashed, creating a sandstorm that obscured the view of the battle.

Tetsuya could only understand a little from Blaziken and Gallade's retellings.

"Elder Dragon, she..."

The only thing he didn't understand and was worried about was the Dragon Elder on the back of the Super Salamence.

What exactly is the other party relying on to dare to do this?

Even powerful beings like A-Si and Shiba wouldn't dare to directly engage in battles between champion-level and level-three god-level Pokémon using their physical bodies.

At that moment, a tiny purple ball of light, much smaller than the two dragon-type Pokémon, caught Tetsuya's attention.

"That is?"

He unconsciously squinted, trying to see more clearly.

A pair of aged hands had released the cane they had been gripping tightly.

Despite her incredibly small and thin frame, she stood firmly at the heart of the fiercest battle.

A wave of energy identical to that of the dragon-type gathered around the Dragon Elder.

"Sweetie, calm down and quiet down."

With a kind smile, the Dragon Elder reached out and gently stroked the Dragonite in its outrage state.

Beneath it, the Mega Salamence gritted its teeth and held on, refusing to move an inch no matter how much the Dragonite attacked.

Gradually, Dragonite's attack power weakened.

The crimson color on his body and in his eyes gradually faded.

"Sing?"

Some cute, silly cries rang out.

The Dragonite, seemingly back to normal, stared blankly at everything before it.

"Roar"

The Mega Salamence roared angrily at it, clearly displeased.

The dragon elder on his back wearily lowered his hands: "It's alright, it's alright."

She smiled as she reassured the Dragonite guardian in front of her.

In just a few seconds, Elder Dragon seemed to have been exercising all day.

The Guardian Dragonite was naturally familiar with the Dragon Elder.

After closing its eyes briefly and recalling what had just happened, it immediately understood.

A thin layer of red enveloped its eyes once again.

Seeing that things were not going well, the Dragon Elder mustered his strength again and stroked Dragonite's head.

After several attempts, the Guardian Dragonite finally returned to its normal state.

“kelala”

The Dragon Elder said nothing as he watched the two poachers frozen by the Dragonite.

She stepped off the back of the Salamence that had returned to normal after landing on the ground and looked towards where Tetsuya was.

Zhe also stepped forward on his own initiative: "Hehe, Elder, what a coincidence."

Chapter 487 The Dragon Sanctuary: There's Even More Desperate Thing to Do

"You look like you've had a good haul."

Looking at the Garchomp following Tetsuya, the Dragon Elder, who knew almost every Dragon-type Pokémon in the Dragon's Lair, spoke tremblingly.

Having personally witnessed the scene just now, Tetsuya would never truly regard this woman as an ordinary, helpless old woman.

What kind of old woman could calm a level three god in a state of reverse scale?

Tetsuya glanced at the goofy-looking fat man next to him.

Without the boost from its previous "reverse scale" state, its current strength has stabilized at the championship level.

This relieved him somewhat.

This at least shows that the strength of this Dragonite is still within an achievable range.

However, there is no doubt that it is among the strongest Pokémon at the champion level.

Otherwise, no matter how much the reverse scale state is improved, without a good foundation, it is impossible to cross over to the level of a third-level god.

Sensing Tetsuya's gaze, Dragonite tilted its head, then smiled and raised its claws to greet the human.

After calming down, it could smell the lingering floral fragrance unique to the Dragon Sanctuary on the other person.

Considering the Garchomp beside it, the Guardian Dragonite quickly recalled the human trainer that the Garchomp leader had mentioned to it not long ago.

Come to think of it, it was actually the little one beside me who gave the flowers to the other person.

That's right, for the guardian Dragonite, the Dragon Elder is a little guy who grew up under its watchful eye.

After all, it was an elf nurtured by its father, the Dragon Elder.

It's no exaggeration to say that when the Guardian Dragonite was born, the Dragon Elder was still nowhere to be found.

"Elder, how did you calm Dragonite down just now?"

After a brief exchange, Tetsuya still couldn't suppress his curiosity.

He knew, of course, that the Dragon Tamer Clan possessed their own unique skills, which was one of the reasons why there were so many dragon tamers in Yanmo City.

Back when he was studying with Nobuhiko in Goldenrod City, Nobuhiko had mentioned the training methods of the Dragon Trainers to him.

Unlike the Azure Dojo lineage, which emphasizes physical training, Nobuhiko says that the Dragon Clan places more emphasis on comprehending energy.

Especially dragon-type energy.

In addition, with the existence of places like Dragon's Lair, almost every trainer in the Dragon Clan can resonate with dragon-type Pokémon after being trained and nurtured from a young age.

Weaker breeders will raise Pokémon that don't have the Dragon type but have Dragon blood, such as Charizard and Gyarados.

For the stronger ones, true dragon-type Pokémon, and even pseudo-legendary ones, will become their Pokémon partners.

The most talented, such as Tsubaki and Watari of this generation, will be recognized by the best and most outstanding among the quasi-gods.

To be honest, the situation of crossing over is not exactly a normal one.

Because he only gained the approval of a small fire dragon at the beginning, he was considered to be the least talented among the dragon race.

Of course, even if it's at the bottom, it's still relatively speaking.

It's impossible for a normal new trainer to gain the approval of a Charmander with Dragon-type blood.

Although Charmander is the most gentle in its family and tends to be stubbornly loyal to its owner, the presence of dragon blood will amplify the irritability and stubbornness of Charizard and the self-willed nature of Charizard in Charmander.

This will turn Charmander, which was originally intended to be given as a starter Pokémon, into a nightmare for most trainers.

After all, nobody wants to wake up one morning to find their tent and sleeping bag completely burned, right?

What no one expected was that it was with Charmander and Charizard, which evolved into Charizard not long after, that Lance became the leading figure of the Dragon Clan in that generation.

Even a pseudo-legendary being could only helplessly succumb to the combination of this human and elf.

This led to Lance later having an additional Dragonite as his main ace, and he also earned the title of "Dragon Messenger".

It can be said that every champion-level trainer is the protagonist in their own life and the lives of those around them.

Faced with Tetsuya's question, Elder Dragon did not intend to hide anything, as it was not a very secretive piece of information: "It's just the use of dragon power, but currently, in the entire Dragon Taming Clan, including myself, only three people know how to do it."

Her tone was very flat.

"The power of dragon control, is it?"

Tetsuya muttered to himself, "I could guess the other two too; they must be Tsubaki and Watari."

This kind of application has little to do with age; it's purely about talent.

Who could be more talented than these two?

Elder Dragon shook his head helplessly: "It's just the power of the dragon. The so-called power to control dragons is just a name that outsiders have imposed on us."

The reason we dragon trainers can make dragon-type Pokémon our partners is because of the connection between our hearts, not because of the so-called power of dragon control.

The existence of Dragon Force only allows us to access the proud hearts of Dragon-type Pokémon; it doesn't actually help us gain recognition.

Zhe did not comment.

But in his view, being able to reach the heart of a Pokémon is the greatest help, especially since it is a Dragon-type Pokémon that is known to be difficult to reach.

Of course, this is also mainly because most Dragon-type Pokémon babies have powerful elders by their side.
