Chapter 193 The Silly Snow Leopard

"Awooo~~ Awooo~"

It seemed that Gu Jianbao's booming voice was unusually unpleasant to hear.

Before long, Ye Ci also noticed Ze Shu and Gu Jianbao watching this scene from the edge of the desert.

Then, she had her goat mount slowly pursue the two majestic tusks and iron tracks, while urging the super-powered camel to get closer.

"This seems to be our first meeting, Sawaki. :.Teacher?"

This was the first thing Yeci said to Zeshu in a teasing tone when he got close to him.

Yeci has brown skin and a slender figure. Coupled with her well-tailored suit, she seems to maintain her unique and majestic demeanor at all times. Indeed, as the champion of Padia, the president of the Padia Pokémon League, and the chairman of Orange Academy, she holds too many positions.

She may not be the most skilled among the champions, but she has the most power among them.

Ze Shu smiled and said, "It is indeed our first time meeting, and I am also the champion."

Ye Ci rubbed the head of the super-powerful camel, sighed helplessly, and said, "Alas... for some reason, I have been unable to greet Lord Ze Shu until now, and I only met Lord Ze Shu by chance... I am really rude, I hope you don't mind."

Ze Shu shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind: "I understand."

He chuckled, then turned his attention to the snow leopard beneath Ze Shu, exclaiming in surprise, "This... this is the calamity treasure that Teacher Lei He spoke of?"

"Ancient Leopard, right? I remember... your operation seems to have started not long ago. I didn't expect... the legendary unruly Treasure of Calamity would be willing to become your Pokémon so quickly, Sawa-sensei."

"Chirp~ Chirp~"

"Yes, so I brought the Ancient Sword Leopard to have some fun, but I didn't expect to run into Champion Ye Ci."

Ze Shu gave a brief explanation, just as a rumbling sound came from afar. He turned to look at the two Dunjia Pessimistic Beasts kicking up dust in the scorching desert and asked curiously,

"What's wrong with them?"

He had been wondering about this for a while. Ci clearly had the ability to defeat and capture these two paradoxical Pokémon, but he only drove them to this scorching desert. Why?

Ye Ci laughed and said, "They are Paradoxical Pokémon that escaped from Sector Zero. You should already be familiar with these Paradoxical Pokémon, Professor Zeki... Thanks to you, I know that you helped capture Roartail and Groundwing, plus the thirteen Paradoxical Pokémon I've captured recently..."

"These majestic teeth and iron tracks are the last two Paradox Pokémon to escape."

She seemed to realize that Ze Shu's question wasn't about that, so she continued:

"Coincidentally, one of these magnificent teeth and iron tracks belongs to the future species that Dr. Futu is researching, and the other belongs to the past species that Dr. Orin is researching."

"Therefore, I deliberately drove these two Paradox Pokémon to the Fiery Desert in order to observe and experiment on how Paradox Pokémon survive in the wild after leaving Sector Zero, and to determine the degree of harm they pose."

"And this sparsely populated, basin-like desert is undoubtedly the best experimental site."

Ze Shu asked, "Judgment? Experiment? For what purpose?"

Ye Ci sighed and said:

Both Dr. Futu and Dr. Orin firmly stated that Paradox was a dangerous Pokémon and were unwilling to let Paradox leave Sector Zero.

但」

I don't think so.

From this high vantage point in the scorching desert, she surveyed the diverse and beautiful landscapes of the Parthian region, all of which she considered exquisite, and suddenly remarked:

"Padia is a wonderful region, Zeki, what do you think?"

Ze Shu: "It's really quite good."

"Right?" Yeci smiled. "I love the Padiya region. I want people all over the world to come to Padiya and experience its beauty. I'm working hard towards that goal."

"Using some methods at the Alliance headquarters to 'lure' you to Padia was one of my efforts in this regard. Ze Shu,"

Perhaps I should apologize to you in person.

"But, Zeshu, don't you also think Padia is quite nice?"

Ze Shu smiled helplessly.

Since Ci's attitude was so sincere, he didn't feel any aversion.

Ye Ci smiled slightly and returned to the main topic, saying, "Absurd Pokémon are also a unique feature of our Padia region, besides the crystallization."

"And this...bringing the magnificent iron tracks to this scorching desert for observation and improvement, hoping to gradually adapt them to the wild, is also my effort to attract people from all over the world to Padiya."

Ze Shu nodded knowingly: "I see."

Yeci: "I know what I'm doing. I also know the dangers of the Paradoxical Species, like the Roaring Tail that Zeki captured. I'm truly... glad, glad I 'lured' you, Zeki-sensei, to Padia, otherwise, the chaos that would have been is unimaginable."

"So—" Seeing that Zeki was staring at the two majestic teeth and the iron tracks, lost in thought, she suddenly asked, "Zeki-sensei, do you want to subdue these two paradoxical creatures?"

Ze Shu shook his head: "No."

He just remembered that these two Donjar Paradoxes seemed to be the future "Treasure Masters," right? The only Paradox among the five Treasure Masters of Padia in the game.

However, it is clear that they are not the owners of the treasure yet.

"Teacher Nazawa, do you want to battle these two Paradox Pokémon?"

"If we can defeat them—with their strength, they might become the 'kings' of this scorching desert. And if you defeat them, you'll have a smooth and successful life in this desert, becoming the king of kings," Ye Ci teased.

Although she spoke in a teasing tone, her eyes were quite serious.

After all, although Ze Shu had a reputation for ability and fame in her mind, she had never actually witnessed it. This joking remark seemed to indicate that she wanted to see Ze Shu in battle firsthand.

"After all, even if I hadn't met you, Ze Shu, I would have had to defeat those two magnificent teeth and iron tracks once."

"Otherwise, there will inevitably be risks in subsequent management and control."

Ze Shu slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

What's the use of becoming the "King of Kings" in this scorching desert? Could it be that all nations would come to pay tribute like the Celestial Empire, accepting offerings from this "vassal state" of the scorching desert? Hmm, it seems that's actually possible.

He glanced at the somewhat bored and restless Ancient Sword Leopard beneath him—coincidentally, Ze Shu also wanted to see just how strong this newly tamed, talkative snow leopard really was.

Therefore, he said:

"If it's just about beating up those two Mythic Pokémon, I can do that."

"Woo~~~"

"Chirp~"

After giving the Ancient Sword Leopard a few bottles of full-restoration medicine, it immediately roared as if it had been given a stimulant... No, it would roar like that even without the 'stimulant,' but its stamina had indeed recovered considerably.

"We're going to fight, are you sure you can handle it?"

"Awoo~ Woohoo!"

Faced with Ze Shu's "doubt," the Ancient Sword Leopard's proudly raised head seemed to say: Don't ask if it can or can't, just ask and it can! No matter what the enemy is, even if it only gives up one tooth, it can still beat the opponent to a pulp!

Ze Shu said, "Wow, that's amazing. Then leave one of your teeth behind."

Ancient Sword Leopard: "Awooo? Howl! Howl!"

It looked at Ze Shu in disbelief.

Just kidding, you actually took it seriously?!

Ze Shu chuckled and simply said, "Don't underestimate your opponent, or you might get killed in return."

He pointed to the two imposing teeth and iron tracks amidst the billowing dust, showing them to the Ancient Sword Leopard. In an instant, the Ancient Sword Leopard leaped out like a mad husky.

"Chirp!"

Having been trapped for over two thousand years, Gu Jianbao had forgotten what fighting felt like.

Now that there's a fight to be had, it can't wait to try it out.

Stepping on the scorching sand of the desert, Gusword felt slightly uncomfortable, but it didn't care much. After all, it was a calamity Pokémon capable of causing the destruction of a nation, so it could afford to consider the effects of this heat multiplied tenfold.

However, the sand was indeed soft, which affected the ancient sword leopard's ability to run and exert force, causing it to run for more than ten minutes before finally arriving in front of the two majestic teeth and iron tracks.

At this moment, Ye Ci's goat mount stopped and handed the stage over to Gu Jianbao.

The two Donphanoids got a chance to catch their breath, and for once, they relied on each other and huddled together for warmth. But when they saw the Ancient Sword Leopard coming, they couldn't help but be wary. The majestic fangs glared with fury, and the Iron Tracks' pixelated red eyes also showed their 'annoying' crescent-shaped pupils.

Clearly, they do not welcome the ancient sword leopard.

The aura emanating from the Ancient Sword Leopard, unique to the "Sword of Calamity," stung the majestic teeth and the thick, iron-skinned flesh, making them restless.

"Chirp... Chirp?"

Immediately, as the Ancient Sword Leopard curiously observed the two "Dunjia" (a type of armored creature), Xiongweiya suddenly moved. Its savage and massive body leaped forward, abruptly shrinking into a reddish-purple "tire" in mid-air, and charged towards the Ancient Sword Leopard!

This ground-based ultimate move, "Sudden Pounce," was incredibly powerful, raising clouds of dust wherever it went, and locking onto the Ancient Sword Leopard from afar.

The majestic teeth and massive body made its rolling motion appear as a dark, oppressive mass, instantly startling the ancient sword leopard's eyes into widening in surprise.

"Awooo?!"

But the Ancient Sword Leopard was no pushover. Although it had been confined to a corner for two thousand years without fighting, its on-the-spot reaction was still quite good; with a leap, it...

Because the sand was loose, it barely grazed the rolling of the majestic teeth.

"Waaaaahh ...

After escaping, Gu Jianbao kept babbling on and on, his smugness annoying Xiong Weiya.

But we haven't yet seen how much more luxurious it will be.

Unbeknownst to the Ancient Sword Leopard, amidst the dust and sand kicked up by the Mighty Fang's sudden pounce, a figure gleaming with iron light stirred up the dust and mist.

It suddenly charged out from behind the ancient sword leopard!

It is the iron track hidden behind the majestic teeth!

Judging from its grass-green coat as it charged and the data stream in its eyes, it used "Super Horn Strike," a move with outstanding effect determined by analyzing the Ancient Sword Leopard's attributes!

If this super angled strike hits, Gu Jianbao... will at least be sent flying into the air!

But even though it was a sneak attack...

Is the Ancient Sword Leopard really that easy to hit?

Yes, that's right.

A deafening, trembling sound erupted.

A snow-white leopard with its tail taut suddenly appeared in the sky above the scorching desert.

"Awooooo!!!"

The mournful cries echoed endlessly across the vast desert.

Ze Shu was speechless: "This idiot."

The ancient sword leopard was thrown into the air, and below, in the desert dust, there were still majestic teeth and iron tracks waiting, ready to poke its rear end again after the ancient sword leopard landed.

But as Articuno swiftly swooped down, Zeju, riding on top, precisely grabbed the back of the neck of the Ancient Sword Leopard, which had been thrown to its highest point.

He grabbed the Ancient Sword Leopard by the scruff of its neck and picked it up. "Didn't I tell you to be careful and not underestimate it? You... sigh." Ze Shu was a little speechless and sighed.

"Awooo~~" Ancient Sword Leopard looked completely innocent.

That ironclad tank on the other side is too cunning, what can it do?

"I'll be in charge from now on. Listen to me, understand?"

"Awooo~~" the Ancient Sword Leopard obediently responded.

"Aim at that majestic tooth, and the icicle will strike."

Ze Shu tightened his arms, grabbed the skin on the back of Gu Jianbao's neck, and threw it high into the air towards Xiong Weiya's head!

The ancient sword leopard, which was thrown higher into the air, was stunned for a moment before it reacted. The sword pattern on its snout glowed faintly, and an ice pillar suddenly condensed, causing the ancient sword leopard to suddenly sink. Using gravity, it smashed towards the skull of the magnificent tooth!

There's a reason why Zeki chose Majestic Fang as its first target: aside from the fact that Majestic Fang's Fighting-type is weak to Ice Pillar Slam, the "Pounce" move it just used on Ancient Saber Leopard will have some impact on its thick skin due to the high-speed collision, in other words: both defenses are lowered.

In addition, the Ancient Sword Leopard's "Sword of Calamity" ability stings the enemy's skin, which in other words reduces defense by one point.

With so many layers of debuffs...

There was a crisp "bang".

The ice pillar that the Ancient Sword Leopard condensed avoided its majestic, skyward-pointing horns and suddenly smashed into its head, which was covered by its trunk!

Gu Jianbao's previous boast that he could defeat his opponent with just one tooth was not unfounded; at least as a 'second-level god' of Padia, he was not without reason.

Although he's a bit stupid and clumsy, he also likes the unpleasant sound of his beak.

But it truly has the capability.

The icicle that had smashed into its head suddenly shattered from head to tail, and the majestic tusk seemed to be hit by a cold water pour from its head to its abdomen, causing a huge shock. A deafening roar erupted from the elephant!

But as it cried out, its massive body tilted and crashed to the ground.

It was magnificent.

Lost the ability to fight.

"Don't stand there, jump to the right." Ze Shu's voice came from above.

"Awoo??"

Gu Jianbao paused for a moment before leaping up, narrowly avoiding another super angled attack from Tie Zheji. Tie Zheji crashed into a towering rock wall behind Gu Jianbao, producing a loud boom and sending rocks crashing down.

This startled the smug Gu Jianbao, who let out several loud shouts:

"Waaaaah!"

Now it completely submits to Ze Shu's command.

Gu Jianbao looked up at Ze Shu, hoping to receive the next instructions.

This prompted Ze Shu to curse, "You look at your opponent! What kind of Pokémon looks back and listens to commands during a battle!"

Only young Pokémon that have never battled would act like that!

After being scolded, the ancient sword leopard let out a wronged cry and quickly looked at the rock wall that had been knocked down by the iron tracks. It saw that a hole had been knocked out of thin air, and the collapsed rocks had almost buried the iron tracks inside.

Inside the cave, the deafening roar of mechanical machinery filled the air.

The ancient sword-wielding leopard seemed to sense a strange sense of relief in the elephant's cry, as if the iron tracks had found a way to defeat them.

But it doesn't understand why.

Keze saw an object emitting light inside the cave.

"This is... a secret seasoning?"

This is the key to turning ordinary Pokémon into powerful "Master" Pokémon, which are only rare to grow in Area Zero.

It's only natural that Iron Tracks, coming from Zone Zero, would recognize this thing and believe that the secret seasoning could help it kill the Ancient Sword Leopard.

The iron tracks opened their large iron elephant mouths, about to devour the secret seasoning.

Ze Shu remembered the gadget he had been keeping unused. Immediately, he pulled a gleaming golden ring from the back of his Articuno in the air.

It was suddenly thrown towards the iron rut that was about to consume the secret seasoning.

This ring is...
