Pokémon: My Dad is Kyurem

Chapter 274 The Radiant Sun: Afterglow of the Setting Sun

Tao Dailang and his group of elves passed by the location of Old Pliers.

Unexpectedly, they actually stayed here.

"Seeing this scene, I must recite a line: 'On my walk, I hear the pheasants crowing—the sounds of summer.'" It seems the monkey is quite interested!

Tao Dailang headbutted him, sending him flying far away!

"25 points!"

"Huh? Is it that low?" Yuanshouyuan floated back, clutching his head.

"Otherwise what? What do you think a crowing rooster like me could have to do with summer?" the pheasant joked, setting aside its helpful nature.

"If you keep doing this, I'm going to tell Miho on you! I'll teleport!" Yuanmaru suddenly said.

"I'm sorry." The pheasant slid to its knees at lightning speed.

"That's enough." Gouzan Gou couldn't bear to look at him at all, but he went limp as soon as the name of that Tanabata named Miho was mentioned.

Ultimately, his Xia Mei is still better, well, at least that's what I think.

Although both of them are Tanabata Bluebirds.

(Miho and Natsumi have been separated into two individuals, and I won't write anything that would upset my stomach. Also, this is just a parallel world; there are no Brain People or Beastmen here.)

However, GouZanGou was still quite nervous.

"Taro, is there really no one here? I'm still wanted! That brat Ah-Xian became the champion of the Southern Region of this country and didn't even bother to help me remove the wanted notice! Do I really have to go find him? That would be like turning myself in!"

"That's awesome," complained the dog.

"I've already said I'm innocent, so why is nobody paying attention to me!"

“No problem at all! Those over there are elves! Not humans!” Momotaro suddenly said.

The three treasures watched warily in the direction Tao Dailang was facing.

"They've already discovered it!" Escanor walked out confidently. "Impressive! But why are all your phantom beasts only around level eighty?"

"Hmph! Interesting, asking a question like this right off the bat!" Momotaro didn't care about his rank, because...

"It's a result of accepting responsibility! Heroes don't need such great power in their daily lives!"

"Taro! There's no need to blurt everything out!" Yoshikichi covered his head. How could such important information be leaked like that?

"There's no way around it. Don't forget, if you ask Taro, he'll definitely tell you the truth. If he doesn't answer or lies, he'll die." Yuanmaru crossed his arms, his face showing an expression that he was already used to it.

"I see, I see." Escanor's expression suddenly changed. "So, you came here not because you received an invitation, right?"

"Huh?" Tao Dailang was taken aback. "What is this invitation?"

"Haha, just as I expected, it's a coincidence." Escanor laughed; he was always very accurate in judging people.

"You just mentioned a celebration, right? Would you mind having a couple more?" Escanor, very familiar with the situation, walked over with Old Pliers.

"Taro, this is not good..." The more composed Kichiji leaned closer.

"No problem! We'll make plans once the shopkeeper arrives! Attendants! Start a fire!" Tao Dailang pulled out a fan from somewhere and floated it on the ground. Sanboban quickly started a fire.

Escanor and Old Pincers sat upright to the side, their body temperature probably not even as high as the flames of the campfire.

But it made Lao Qian feel a little more relaxed.

"It seems the celebration was just a gimmick." Old Pliers casually sat down cross-legged, trying to improve his control over his energy. In his opinion, his champion-level strength had come too hastily.

In terms of actual combat ability, they would only be at the very bottom of the champion's level!

Of course, this is just Lao Qian's opinion.

And this isn't the outcome Old Fence wanted! If this force can't protect everyone, then it's far too weak!

He slightly opened his eyes and looked at Escanor, who was still incredibly powerful even in his weakened state.

I feel inexplicably unwell.

It seemed that he had noticed Old Pliers' gaze.

“There is only one kind of heroism in the world, and that is to remain optimistic after witnessing the cruelty of reality,” Escanor said, patting Old Man Pliers on the shoulder.

"You're still a bit too young, kid."

Old Pliers slapped the other's claws away.

"I don't want to be a hero. I'm just a selfish guy who wants to protect my friends. Besides, I've always been optimistic."

Escanor glanced at him sideways.

"Oh? If you're so optimistic, why do you work so hard?"

Old Pliers opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer.

"Hey! You two should be able to handle poison, right? Kibi Dango! Want to give it a try!"

Tao Dailang came over with two plates of purple dumplings and made it clear that they were poisonous.

Old Claw didn't care; being steel-type, he was immune to poison and ate it casually. He hadn't been poisoned in a long time, and as for the fire poison from the Flame Queen Lizard last time, the fire was assimilated before it even got close.

Although he had excess energy in his body for the past twenty days and was not hungry, Lao Qian was indeed mentally hungry because he had a habit of eating.

Undeterred, Escanor put the kibi dumpling into his mouth.

He gulped it down!

A wave of dizziness shot straight to the top of his head! Mild poisoning and the confusion caused by Momotaro's special ability left Escanor's cheeks slightly flushed, as if he were drunk.

"Wow! This feels like a fine vintage wine, no, even a fine vintage wine can't make me feel intoxicated with just one sip, it's wonderful."

Old Qian was speechless. How come he didn't notice? Because he wouldn't get poisoned?

Perhaps because he was slightly tipsy, Escanor relaxed a bit.

"You... are actually a very gentle person, a selfish person who protects his partners. Ha, that sounds nice, but in the end it's all for others. You have a stable personality, strong action, and clear goals. I don't need to be stingy with my praise for you."

"But if you keep carrying such a vague fear and dread, what can you possibly accomplish? And what exactly is your problem?"

Seeing Escanor so serious, Old Pliers couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"The difference in strength is too great..."

Escanor interrupted, "So where exactly is the difference? And with whom is it being compared?"

"It's that Shidoran. My flames are too weak in front of him, and my level is too low. I'm like paper in front of that guy."

"No! One of the two flames on your body originates from the earth! The other comes directly from it! You're talking nonsense! Or rather, you haven't realized your own changes! As for your level! I'll find a way to help you with that later."

Old Pliers asked skeptically, "Why should I believe you?"

Escanor placed his hand firmly on Old Man Pliers' shoulder.

"You don't need a reason to believe me, just believe me. If I say I can do it, I can do it. Nothing else matters!"

He was like the sun! There wasn't a trace of hesitation in his voice! There was no clear reason, but Old Man Qian understood what he meant! Because he was Escanor! That was all!

This is confidence as bright as the sun!

And Escanor passed on his confidence to Old Man Pliers in his own way.

Yuan Zengyuan nudged Tao Dailang with his elbow: "This guy is so flashy."

"Don't disturb them!"

"Woo↗woo↘woo↗woo→woo~~"

Momodairou gave the inconsiderate Yuanmaru a general anesthesia!

"Hahaha!" Escanor was not annoyed and laughed loudly in his deep voice.

Even a little farce can bring people closer together. At least Tao Dailang and the others are all quite kind. Their little bickering and playful fights add a touch of warmth.

Escanor smiled unconsciously as drowsiness gradually increased.

Old Pliers sat down next to him.

"You... seem to be enjoying the current atmosphere."

Escanor tilted his head and looked at him with empty eyes.

"I haven't had any companions for a long time, so it's nice to have more elves occasionally."

"You're so powerful, how come you don't have any companions? Do you think your own kind would be jealous of you?"

“They…have been dead for many years…My clan was wiped out by the extinction of the ancient jade fish’s ecosystem. I’ve been dealing with it for a long time, and now that I think about it, I’ve come this far all by myself.”

He glanced at Old Qian and shook his head: "He actually fell asleep? Looks like he didn't listen. But after being so tense for so many days, he really needs to relax and get some rest."

Old Qian's emotional intelligence came into play at this moment.

Escanor lay on the ground and fell into a deep sleep, while Old Pliers opened his eyes again and gazed thoughtfully at the campfire.

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it the sounds of distant commotion. Old Qian turned his head and saw two figures walking towards them.

"The store manager?" Tao Dailang asked, puzzled.

“My shop has been closed for over three hundred years. Should I still be called the shopkeeper? It’s better to just call me Wright.” Wright walked over with Little.

However, Leeteuk seems quite withdrawn, and after regaining his memories, he feels he has failed his sense of justice.

“No, a hero is a hero, and a shopkeeper is a shopkeeper,” Tao interrupted Wright’s self-deprecation.

"Attendants! The highest honors!"

Upon hearing this, the three treasures stood up together.

Tao Dailang and Sanbaoban pulled out a yellow gun from somewhere.

"Berserk Transformation!" x4

Go with the flow!

Thump! Peach-faced boy!

The colors—red, pink, purple, black—made Wright frown.

They actually turned into humanoids and their level returned to 90. Wright's eyes twitched slightly. What on earth had they gone through all these years?

"You know what, Ah Xian's patented energy shaping technique is really useful, but I still don't understand why I've shrunk instead."

The now tiny dog ​​couldn't help but complain, but its strength remained the same as before, or even increased.

It looks unreal, like a CG warrior; the fighting must be very abstract.

However, it's generally better for elves not to do this. Some elves who are forcibly transformed into human form will only end up with uncoordinated limbs. They have been using this method for hundreds of years.

"Interesting, quite a few Pokémon." Suddenly, a person holding a Duel Disk appeared.

It's Ma Ling'er!

He looked at Old Pliers over there: "Qihao's elf? Would you mind taking me along?"

Suddenly, Tao Dailang and his group felt a sense of oppression coming towards them!

Escanor, who had just fallen asleep, couldn't help but slightly open his eyes!

An otherworldly aura emanated from Ling'er, flowing through his purple gaze! Aside from Old Man Qian, who was already used to it, Tao Dailang and the others frowned!

Is this the ultimate aura?

"Welcome!" Tao Dailang welcomed everyone without hesitation, displaying the confidence of a strong person!

However, tonight is incredibly lively.

Garo, patrolling the forest in his Flag-Wrapped Armor, happened to arrive here. (Mech Rescue Team Member)

Please be careful when using fire in the forest!

Garo shouted, startling the awesome dog over there so much that it almost hid. Luckily, he had already transformed, so Garo probably couldn't tell that he was a wanted criminal.

The night passed quickly.

Early in the morning, Wright took Ritsu and left with Momotaro and the others.

Ma Ling'er did indeed only stay briefly; he was going to pick up Qin Ni. Qi Hao was missing, and N was searching for Leishiram. Currently, he was the only one who could keep Qin Ni under control.

Garo stayed a short distance away because the two fire sources reacted too strongly, and he was afraid that the two elves would set the forest ablaze.

However, Garonomare was the complete opposite; his outgoing and friendly nature allowed him to quickly become friends with the elves!

Escanor regained his spirits and basked in the sunlight.

"You've trained the young man. I've decided to teach you my unique skill!"

Old Pliers was still a bit confused when he heard this.

No? Was it that sudden?

Old Qiang inexplicably started training.

The remaining time passed like flowing water.

The remaining time passed in the blink of an eye.

It was evening that day.

Old Pliers also came to a conclusion.

"This thing is way beyond my level to unleash!"

Escanor remained noncommittal: "This move is a supreme technique that can only be unleashed when both will and strength are at their limits!"

"Solar Flashbang!"

Escanor looked at Old Pliers with satisfaction: "You have now memorized this move. When your energy reaches a certain peak, you can release it naturally."

"That's right, I've seen how hard this mantis guy is working! Show your spirit! Spirit!" Watching Garo, wearing school uniform pants, punching in mid-air, his incredibly focused training got me a little fired up.

However, Escanor interrupted him.

"Thank you for your company these past few days, but it's getting dark, and that guy Gu Yuyu is coming." Escanor shook his head, a hint of regret in his eyes. He actually quite liked these kinds of days.

The temperature around them was rising, not because of them, but because the surrounding rocks were beginning to melt and the trees were emitting steam, which would start to burn once it had completely dissipated.

"What happened! How did the temperature suddenly rise so much!" The stones at Garo's feet melted, almost burning his shoes.

"Garo! You're a firefighter, right? Go and call your teammates to dig a firebreak! Make it wide! And be quick! Otherwise, this fire will spread to the urban area!"

Upon hearing Escanor's words, Gallo immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and sprang into action. He quickly ran back to base, gathered the other firefighters, and together they began digging a firebreak.

Escanor and Old Pliers exchanged a glance and headed toward the center of the temperature.

At this point, Lao Qian's level was stable at 82, but what he didn't know was that level would soon become unimportant to him.

In the setting sun, the shadows of Old Pliers and Escanor stretched long.

The last rays of the setting sun herald the approach of night.
