Chapter 332 Hakron, Wataru's Shock
The sudden evolution of the Dratini prompted Ze Shu, who had just boarded the spaceship, to rush to the frozen bird's nest to check on its condition.
Inside the nest, Articuno had already shrunk into a corner with a look of disgust on its face, allowing Zeki to immediately spot the miniature dragon shadow emitting a white light beneath the hazy cold air.
Its form is changing under a miracle called "evolution".
Its small body gradually matures, and the little horn on its forehead grows longer and sharper; energy gathers and forms a round bead at its chin, and similarly, two smaller beads are born at the end of its tail.
"No wonder Hakron insisted on waiting until you returned to the spaceship before it was willing to molt. Before that, it endured the discomfort it was in."
Higanbana blinked, then exclaimed in realization, "So it's evolving!"
"After evolving, it will become a Dragonair, right..."
'
Dragonair is considered a rather legendary Pokémon in the Kanto region.
Legend has it that they dwell in beautiful seas and lakes, sacred and elegant. Although they have no wings, they can manipulate the weather with the crystal-like beads at the ends of their necks and tails, soaring through the air on the wind.
Historically, Dragonair was worshipped by agricultural workers as a master of the atmosphere. Although it is simply a Dragon-type Pokémon, it must have a unique talent for "controlling the weather".
"Woo-mi~~~"
After a while, the light of evolution burst out, and Hakuryu's melodious and pleasant voice reached Zeshu's ears.
It had grown to be three or four meters long, and after evolving, its coiled body almost completely filled Articuno's frozen nest, forcing Articuno to show a look of disgust.
"Hakuron?" Zeshu called out.
"Woo-mi~~"
Upon hearing Ze Shu's words, Hakron narrowed its eyes with delight and darted out of its frozen nest, kicking up a few glittering pieces of ice. Now, with no obstruction, its revitalized body was bathed in the brilliant sunlight.
Under the sunlight, its skin, which is different from ordinary Hakron and extremely rare, presents a dreamy pink quartz color, which is translucent and lustrous.
"Woo-mi~~~" As Ze Shu was observing the new state of Hakuryu, Hakuryu swayed and suddenly clung to him like a husky—clung to him as always, with the icy touch of a bird that had just come out of its frozen nest.
But Dragonair is not as small as it used to be when it was a Dratini!
"No, no, no! You're big enough to carry me through the sky."
"Woo-mi~ woo-mi~"
Ze Shu felt as if he had been bound and targeted by a python, and he felt slightly suffocated.
But Hakuryu didn't take it seriously, or rather, it didn't notice that Zeju's refusal only made it cling to him even tighter, its dark eyes revealing a joy that disregarded the trainer's life or death.
Ze Shu sighed helplessly. Oh well, he's just overjoyed from his recent evolution, I can understand. Anyway, it's only a slight feeling of suffocation, he can bear it, he won't die.
But the Glaceon next to it got angry.
These little pink bugs have done this to the Zeshu tree. If anything happens to it, won't it be left widowed?!
I do not agree!
We must break them up!!
"Bu Yi! Bu (▼盘▼#)!"
A suffocating chill emanated from the enraged Ice Eevee, and dangerously crept up to the body of the Dragonite, which was tightly gripping the body of the Sawaki. This left Lance, who was smiling to the side, completely stunned.
"Hey, Zeki, tell Glaceon to stop!"
Having watched the exhibition match just now, Lance deeply understands that this Glaceon is no ordinary creature. The chilling aura emanating from its anger, even if it wasn't meant to kill, was still unacceptable to the newly evolved Dragonair.
Du Ke clearly understands and can empathize with how unpleasant it feels to be frozen.
After all, ice is his lifelong enemy, the "Messenger of the Dragon"!
However, despite his attempts to dissuade him, Glaceon's chill still surged onto Hakkar, and Hakkar felt the threat of ice just as he had anticipated.
But what surprised Rangdu was that Zeshu's Dragonair, a Pokémon weak to ice, was trembling and throbbing in the cold air of Glaceon, its pink face gradually turning red.
Then, at a certain moment, the chill seemed to reach its peak, and Hakron, as if reaching an orgasm, suddenly convulsed and let out a long, satisfied "Oomimimimimimi".
.
Is it enjoying itself?
It's actually enjoying it?!
Watari was shocked to realize this.
Even as Hakron's body slumped limply off the Ze Tree and collapsed to the ground, it continued to twitch rhythmically, as if savoring the pleasant chill.
Wataru glanced at Hakron's condition, then stared at Sawaki with wide eyes.
"You, you.."
He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
Ze Shu looked completely innocent.
"Minidra... well, it should be called Dragonair now. As you can see, its personality and quirks are different from other Dragonairs."
"It likes ice."
"Yeah, it's all Kona's fault!"
Wataru had absolutely no idea how this had anything to do with Kona.
But if Lorelei hadn't brought out frozen pastries to entertain Sawaki, allowing Dratini to accidentally taste the flavor of ice, then Dratini's "awakening" would probably have been delayed for a while.
"Buee~bu!"
Beside it, Glaceon, head held high, stepped past the "corpse" of Dragonair and affectionately nuzzled Zeki's leg with its cheek. Zeki's life-threatening situation was now resolved by Glaceon!
"Alright, alright." Ze Shu smiled helplessly, rubbed Eevee's head, and then said to Lance, "Don't worry, Dragonair should be fine."
"Although Hakuryu still feels pain from ice, and ice can still harm Hakuryu," Zeki explained, his expression subtly strange, "it seems that Hakuryu can transform this unique pain from freezing into a feeling of pleasure."
"I was initially worried that this might harm Hakron."
"But Dragonair loves ice and kept yelling that it wanted to soak in the frozen nest I made for Articuno. I could only help Dragonair slowly, gradually letting it get used to it. And slowly, over time, Dragonair seemed to have adapted to the ice and developed some resistance."
"Now, it can stay in its frozen nest all day long, and it only wants to molt inside, without any damage."
The heart stands upright, signifying morning.
"Woo-mi~~~"
In the serene blue sky, fluffy white clouds dotted the landscape. A pink dragon nimbly darted in and out of these clouds, emitting a joyful sound, carrying a person named Ze Shu on its back.
Hakuryu had recovered from the freezing climax brought by Glaceon, and with a comfortable and pleasant feeling after being satisfied, it carried Zeki and flew among the white clouds around the spaceship.
I must say, riding a Hakkarosaurus was quite an experience.
As Watari looked up at this scene from inside the spaceship, even though a day had passed since the Dratini evolved yesterday evening, he was still in a daze.
There was no other reason than the profound impact that Zeki, the ice-loving Hakuryu, had on him, the "messenger of dragons."
As the head of the Dragon Clan in Yanmo City, Wataru had seen countless Hakuryu. But he had never imagined that a Hakuryu could, as Zeju said, transform the pain from ice into pleasure and gradually adapt to it.
This is unbelievable!
Can he imitate this training method?
After all, Dragonair, and even Dragonite which is even more vulnerable to ice, could overcome this weakness if they could adapt to it. At the very least, Lance wouldn't be limited to just being a "Champion" now.
But Watari thought it was unlikely, since he would first need to find a miniature dragon that liked ice cream like Sawaki.
After all, ordinary Dratini are terrified of ice and feel only pure fear. Exposing them to ice, even under the guise of training, is still abusing Pokémon.
Putting aside whether Lance would be willing to do it, if he did, he'd probably be beaten and driven out of the Dragon Sanctuary by that Dragon Ace ancestor who sold his own children's eggs—no amount of food could possibly keep him quiet then.
"Woo-mi~~"
At this moment, Hakron let out a reluctant cry, and Zeshu patted its head before jumping back onto the spaceship.
Chongtai sat on a chair in front of the bar, looking quite energetic. He quickly stuffed his breakfast bread into his mouth and said, "Thank you, Sister Helena!"
Because the bread was brought back by Helena when she came back in the morning.
Meanwhile, Helena, who chose to return to the spaceship because of Zeki's exhibition match, was only studying the little turtle Pokémon Potts released by Mushroom Tai.
It is said that the pot-shaped shell stores tree fruits, and through a series of fermentations and the combination of bodily fluids, produces a sticky and delicious juice.
She was getting these juices.
I took a sip.
"Hmm, it's delicious as rumored, with a sweet and sour taste. But the flavor of this juice must be influenced by the fruit it previously stored. So, it must have stored oranges and peaches!"
The insect was shocked: "Yes, yes!"
Because orange and peach fruits are found everywhere in the forest, he collected a large basketful during his travels.
Holina smiled gently, "Hmm, the juice from the jugs is quite good! Perhaps I should persuade Zeshu to keep one or two jugs on the spaceship! What do you say, Zeshu? Here's your Moo Moo milk!"
Ze Shu, who had just walked over: —
Is Helena planning to treat the bar on his spaceship like a simulation game?
"It's fate," Ze Shu replied simply, taking the Moo Moo Milk. Then he turned to Mushita and asked, "Mushita, you seem to have a match at the Lily of the Valley Tournament today, right?"
"Mhm!" Chongtai nodded seriously. "In the afternoon! So I plan to train with my teammates both in the mornings and afternoons before that!"
Ze Shu was taken aback: "Shouldn't we rest before the match?"
Chongtai scratched his head: "After all, I'm not strong enough, so I have to train hard to win. Besides, don't underestimate me, my partners have strong recovery abilities and can withstand this!"
"I see..." Ze Shu nodded, "It just so happens that I can't leave during the Lily of the Valley Conference, and I have nothing to do. So, perhaps I can tutor you."
"Well...."
'
Upon hearing this, Chong Tai blinked, then stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"R-Really?!"
"This won't delay you, Brother Zeshu..."
""
The exhibition match alone showed how strong Zeki was. Even if Mushita fantasized about spending time tutoring Zeki, he wouldn't make such an unreasonable request.
"No." Ze Shu interrupted him with a smile. "After all, even if I don't tutor you, I still have to check on the other guy's training."
Time flies by.
The Lily of the Valley Conference proceeded slowly during the time that Zeki was tutoring Mushita.
To be honest, Bug's Pokémon lineup is indeed too buggy. His starter Pokémon is Beautifly; his former Wurmple was bullied by the newly hatched Vulpix, but now it's Beautifly; there's also Snorlax; Shuckle that produces juice; and a recently caught Snowbeard.
There aren't even six of them! And the snow worms among them are still babies.
Fortunately, the Lily of the Valley Conference consists of singles matches up to 63 before the semifinals, requiring only three Pokémon to participate.
Meanwhile, thanks to the dirty "migration tactics" of the Poisonous White Butterfly, Insect Tai's advancement to the qualifiers was difficult but very stable.
In the elimination rounds.
In the round of 32, Bug Tai successfully harassed the opponent's "knife team"—a team entirely focused on physical attacks—by using Shuckle's Stealth Rock, Toxic, and Protect moves to stay in the field.
The opponent's Lucario nearly broke its Bone Barrel by smashing it, and the Ursaring's paws hurt terribly. It could only helplessly watch as the Shuckle, hiding its head in its shell, remained dormant.
He should have been a top seed for the championship, but he was firmly stuck in the top 32 by Chongtai's Shushu.
This battle also brought Chongtai some fame.
In the round of 16, the most impressive thing about Bug Tai was the double rotation of Toxamite and Beautifly. Toxamite disgusted the opponent to the extreme, while Beautifly gracefully spun and danced. In the end, Speaker Scoot took down the opponent's last Pokémon.
This was a battle that Chongtai won head-on through his own strength.
Although the opponent may be the weakest opponent that Chongtai has encountered in the knockout stage.
In the quarterfinals, Bug's Speaker Grillo burned itself out. After defeating the opponent's first Pokémon, it used its remaining strength to play a powerful death song. After a hard-fought battle, it successfully traded another of the opponent's Pokémon.
Subsequently, Chongtai, playing two against one, successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
But what happens next?
Chong Tai was eliminated in the semifinals.
After all, he only has four Pokémon he can truly fight with. And the semi-finals are a battle of all six Pokémon. Even with Sawaki's guidance, it's still Bugta fighting, and Sawaki can't turn the tide.
Even so, Chongtai was already very satisfied.
After the semi-finals, he gave Ze Shu a bright smile.
"I made it to the quarterfinals in my first league tournament! Don't be upset, Ze Shu-gege. Without your guidance, I might have been eliminated in the round of 32!"
"Besides, if it weren't for you, Brother Zeshu, I might still be in Masago Town right now!"
"Brother Zeshu, you will always be my role model!"
"What about next? Hmm... I'll keep traveling! Until the day I become the regional champion!"
