Chapter 236: A brutal beating of the "little kid" island king.
"Mr. Sawaki's Arcanine..."
This sudden turn of events left everyone present somewhat stunned as the dizziness from the golden lightning dissipated and they realized what had happened.
Just like when the Island King was hit, Ze Shu's Arcanine was engulfed in golden flames, which materialized into a cocoon-like form, and withstood the Island King's charge.
The golden cocoon encasing Arcanine seemed to be undergoing an indescribable transformation.
And it is expanding rapidly.
Not only was Ze Shu stunned, but everyone else was incredulous.
You should know that being struck by this golden lightning will turn you into a berserk state where you can't distinguish between people...
Guana crossed her long legs and instinctively clenched her fists.
The child was struck by the thunder and transformed into the "Island King" form, instantly becoming powerful enough to rival Mr. Sawaki's Arcanine.
What about Mr. Zeki's already powerful Arcanine?
Before this raging island king can even be pacified, is another, even more powerful and frenzied "island king" about to emerge?!
I'm afraid, I'm afraid...
Guana was somewhat stunned by the foreseeable consequences.
"It's my fault, Mr. Zeqi..."
It is said that the owner of the Red Lotus Wetland, who has always taken care of the gentle and elegant "Mountain Queen", was also attacked by the "Mountain Queen" after she was struck by lightning and went berserk!
Not to mention Mr. Sawaki, that ferocious Arcanine...
Guana subconsciously looked at the golden cocoon that was changing in the center of the lava battlefield.
The cocoon has gradually "broken open" like a bursting flame, revealing the new golden body of Arcanine.
Guana: "...Huh?!"
Mr. Zeki's Arcanine looks a little different from the one that "Island King" has transformed into. Apart from still being imposing, what Guana noticed was the look in Zeki's Arcanine's eyes.
Unlike the island king, whose eyes were shrouded in white light, its eyes revealed no emotion.
Instead, his eyes shone brightly, and his pupils held an unusual firmness, like a flower blooming from the ashes.
When Guana saw that Zeju's body, which should have been tense and ready to act at any moment, relaxed slightly, she felt relieved. As a "trainer," Zeju must have a better understanding of the Pokémon's situation.
"well enough."
Standing behind the new form of Arcanine, Ze Shu asked softly.
Instead of a reply, Growlithe responded with its actions.
As usual, it stayed by Ze Shu's side and peacefully swayed its tail, which had been dyed golden like a cloud.
Then, facing the Island King's relentless and brutal charge, Arcanine roared angrily, its body erupting with golden flames, and surged back towards the Island King like molten lava, engulfing it!
This is Flame Charge, but it's different from what it usually uses; this form seems to have given the move a new twist.
This move isn't very effective in the internal battles between the Green and Arcanine.
However, when the two Growlithes collided, it easily neutralized the Island King's surging impact and suddenly countered, with the surging golden flames engulfing the Island King instead. The impact it generated also easily sent the Island King flying!
A terrible scream was heard.
At the center of this fire-blowing island is a volcano with some lava flowing.
The Island King was then slammed into the outer layer of the volcano by Arcanine's Flare Charge, embedding itself within it like a golden statue.
He was unable to move for a moment.
"One, one strike..."
Dr. Laben touched his sparse hair in an exaggerated manner.
Indeed, Growlithe evolved directly from Golden Lightning into such a powerful form, capable of holding its own against Arcanine for a long time.
Now that Arcanine has also transformed into this form, isn't the difference in strength between them roughly the same as when they weren't struck by lightning?
It seemed only natural that the island king was embedded in the volcano by Arcanine's attack.
After ramming the island king into the volcano, Arcanine slowly turned its head, allowing people to see again its eyes and pupils, which were not shrouded in white light but were dyed gold like its body.
"You've grown quite a bit," Ze Shu said with a smile.
Now, Arcanine's size has become much larger than that of a normal leader, with a height of over three meters. Standing in front of Zeki, it looks like a golden "stone dog" mountain.
Compared to the island king embedded in the volcano.
Perhaps this Growlithe is more like the "King of the Island".
Guana thought to herself without realizing it.
But Arcanine took a few steps back, lowered its head slightly, and brought its head close to Zeshu, allowing Zeshu to stroke its petal-like mane as usual.
It was a bit warmer, but when you kneaded it, it wasn't much different from usual—light and soft, except that it had become much larger.
Hmm, perhaps it's because Ze Shu's "physical condition" is different from ordinary people.
After all, he felt the same way when he pressed the top of the duckbill fire beast's head.
"Alright." Ze Shu pursed his lips slightly. He naturally knew why Arcanine wanted him to rub it like that, so he chuckled and pointed behind Arcanine, saying, "Your 'enemy' hasn't been dealt with yet. Go and thoroughly wake that kid up."
"Let me see what new changes you've undergone."
A single collision is certainly not enough to kill the island king, who possesses immense stamina.
Yes, it takes a lot of "collisions" to get it to work.
Now, the island king is slowly "falling off" from the volcano of Blowfire Island.
Ze Shucai made this statement.
After he finished speaking, Arcanine suddenly looked back, which made the Island King, who was usually almost emotionless, feel a chill run down his spine.
The island king hesitated for a moment, then felt a flash of golden light, and the Arcanine unexpectedly crashed into it again!
"Woof!!"
It seems to be the influence of what Zeshu said earlier, "Let me see what new changes you have."
This time, Arcanine was much "gentler".
It simply blocked the island king at the bottom of the volcano, and beat him up in various ways.
The scene was filled with the sounds of flames bursting, rocks collapsing, and magma boiling and cracking, but even more noticeable was the loud "bang" of Arcanine attacking the Island King.
It was clearly a "evenly matched" duel between two enormous Arcanines.
But now it seems to give the audience the feeling of bullying a child. Hmm... no, this island king is a child, but Zeshu's Arcanine isn't that big either.
However, Arcanine did allow Zeki to witness the new changes that would occur when this form was combined with its existing moves.
For example, the golden flint that now surrounds Arcanine's body like a fireball and is under its control.
This appears to be a "falling rock" move.
However, Arcanine turned it into a "golden ring fireball".
As these "fireballs" rained down, the island king roared angrily and lashed out with its tail.
But to everyone's surprise, with a single leap, the massive yet agile creature, with its flowing mane and cloud-like tail, seemed to dance as it dodged the Island King's tail whip.
Then, as if performing a "stomp" and "great indignation" move, he slammed it to the ground!
It was as if the entire ground of Fire Island was trembling, and surging golden flames suddenly rose from the ground.
rumble!
The island king swayed and struggled, unable to break free. After a while, he collapsed to the ground with a gurgling sound, and the golden light on his body gradually dissipated.
After a while, the gold color faded from its body, and it returned to its normal appearance.
Arcanine stared at it, and after confirming that it hadn't gone berserk again, it turned around in disappointment, as if to say, "Why is it so weak?" and slowly walked back to Zeki.
"it's over....
Dr. Laben handed over the clam-shaped headscarf he had nearly torn to shreds while watching the battle, and sighed.
Guana, worried, ran towards the island king.
Zeki, however, looked at the slowly returning Arcanine, stroked his chin, and asked, "Can you transform back into your original form like that Island King?"
To be honest, this form is indeed powerful.
But it's so dazzling that if Gyrocopter's "good friend" Röntgen Cat saw it while lying on its backboard, it would definitely stay far away. There's no other reason than that it's just too eye-catching, like a big sun hanging in front of you.
"Woof?"
Arcanine tilted its head in confusion.
Then, as if sensing something, on its way back, the golden light on its body gradually dissipated. After arriving in front of Zeshu, it transformed back into the same Arcanine that Zeshu remembered.
However, its pupils are golden.
Its size has shrunk slightly compared to its golden form, but it is still much larger than before, as if it has become a normal head-and-shoulder size.
Zeshu pried open its eye sockets and, seeing the slightly uncomfortable expression on Arcanine's face, studied it for a long time before finally concluding: "These newly changed eyes are quite beautiful."
Arcanine: (_)
You've been prying my eyes open for so long, and this is all you've said?
Arcanine chose to lick Sawaki's face in retaliation!
He licked Ze Shu's face until it was covered in water droplets.
Ze Shu wiped his face and said helplessly, "I should brush your teeth now."
It didn't smell bad, but it wasn't exactly the clean feeling you get after brushing your teeth either. The Gyro Dog angrily licked Ze Shu's face a few more times: "Woof!"
"Zeju, Zeju, I found a new Pokémon, and it wants to come home with me!"
Just as Zeshu finished wiping his face with Arcanine's mane, he heard Xiaolan's somewhat cheerful voice.
Turning around, I saw Xiaolan walking over, also holding an orange-red Pokémon in her arms. This Pokémon's six tails were twisted together.
She couldn't break free from Xiao Lan's embrace and cried until her eyes were brimming with tears. Hmm? Is this what they call "wanting to go home with you"?
Ze Shu: "Aren't you misunderstanding whether this little guy wants to go home with you?"
Little Blue puffed out her cheeks: "But its mother agreed!"
She recounted in detail how she met the six-tailed fox in her arms.
Just now, when Zeki's Arcanine leaped down to take down the Island King, the entire Fubuki Island trembled. Perhaps due to this effect, this Vulpix tumbled down the cliff beside it, and was caught by Blue, who had Espeon catch it.
"I fell in love with it at first sight!"
"I also saw where the Vulpix fell, and an elegant Ninetales peeked out. But it glanced at your Arcanine and didn't object to me holding the Vulpix!"
"If there's no refusal, doesn't that mean they agree?"
"Maybe even that Nine-Tails finds taking care of a child troublesome! But I don't mind the trouble; isn't that a trainer's responsibility?"
Xiao Lan carried the pitiful and helpless Six-Tails to Ze Shu's side, her eyes shining slightly as she said:
"Look at her, how cute! Except for not having your chubby, ice-cold Vulpix, she's exactly the same!"
"Fire element, what a perfect match! They can even help me cook in the future!"
The six-tailed creature struggled helplessly, looking pitiful.
"Sound..."
Doesn't anyone care about its feelings?
Ze Shu rubbed the belly of the six-tailed creature; it was warm and felt nice. After rubbing it for a while, he nodded as if he had just finished a quality inspection. "It's really cute!"
"The child is alright..."
After checking on the Island King's condition, Guana slowly walked towards Zeki, a grateful smile on her tired face, and said, "The environment of the Lava Battlefield is suitable for Arcanine's survival. I've already applied some medicine. Staying here for a while, it might recover."
Ze Shu nodded and said:
"That's good."
"Since there's nothing much going on here, perhaps we should..."
Before he could finish speaking, Guana hesitated, glancing at Zeshu's Arcanine and then at Zeshu himself, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
Ze Shu asked, "What's wrong?"
Guana hesitated before speaking, "If possible, perhaps Mr. Zeki's Arcanine... is the most suitable person to be called the 'King of the Islands'."
"King of the Islands... you're supposed to stay on this island, right?" Ze Shu suddenly asked, looking at his own Arcanine.
"Yes... the Island King represents the 'King' of Azure Coast, the 'King' who maintains order on Azure Coast, and all the Pokémon on Azure Coast respect it." Guana answered hesitantly, "So I'd like to ask..."
But she hadn't finished speaking.
"Woof!"
The Growlithe dog next to the Ze tree barked first and shook its head in refusal of Guana's subsequent requests.
Zeki chuckled at his Arcanine and joked, "Why not? 'King of the Islands' is so prestigious, if you want..."
Arcanine shook its head impatiently and defiantly tugged at Ze Shu's clothes.
"Woof!!"
It was never the "King of the Island"; it was just a Growlithe that Zeki took away from here.
"My, my...:" Ze Shu repeatedly admitted his mistake, and only then did Arcanine let him go. Afterwards, Ze Shu smiled helplessly at Gua Na, "See? My Arcanine doesn't agree."
With an apologetic expression, Guana bowed slightly, her long legs pressed together.
"Mr. Zeki, your affection for Arcanine makes me feel ashamed. I apologize for my presumption."
"However, Mr. Ze Shu, please don't rush off."
She looked at the island king in the center of the lava battlefield.
"At least, at least until the child wakes up..."
"I can sense that the child wants to give you something."
Fire Island, outer beach.
Despite being a beach, the air here is thick with heat.
Little Blue's six-tailed fox seems to have adapted to the reality of having a "new mother," silently watching as it is released by Zeki, its body seemingly melting away.
The Ice Six-Tailed Foxes all want to build sandcastles on this beach.
While waiting for the island king to awaken, Ze Shu cast a line—after all, in such a vast sea area as the Qinghai Coast, it would seem a disservice to his "large root fishing rod" that he had spent a lot of money to buy.
Not long after the bait was cast, ripples appeared on the water's surface.
Ze Shu decisively pulled his rod.
The creature that had been biting the bait then emerged from the water.
"Is it a sea bass?"
