Chapter 997 A Little Stake Questioning Life
The plane descended into the night and landed at the airport in Smoky City. Ash, looking speechless, led the three little ones out of the spiral staircase.
"That damn Rayquaza, it better not make me come all this way for nothing," Ash's resentful voice rang out.
"Uh hahaha..." Riko and the other two laughed helplessly.
"I always feel like the teacher harbors a lot of resentment towards the Johto region," Roy said awkwardly, scratching his head.
"After all, the Johto region was notoriously difficult to navigate back in the teacher's time..." Ash muttered to himself, pouting.
The land is vast and sparsely populated, and the distribution of cities is extremely unreasonable. Sometimes you can wander into a forest and not be able to get out for a week!
"Oh dear, oh dear~ It seems the legendary trainer has some complaints about our Johto region." A teasing female voice rang out.
A mature woman in a blue bodysuit and white cape, with long, dazzlingly white legs, approached Xiaozhi and his friends.
"Miss Xiaozhuang, thank you for coming to pick us up." Xiaozhi nodded as if it were a matter of course.
"Who is this woman?" Ulte asked, pursing his lips.
"The patriarch of the Dragon Clan, the Gym Leader of the Inkstone Gym, the Dragon Saintess, Miss Little Stake," Ash calmly introduced.
"Wow?! That sounds amazing!" the three little ones couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Chi-san... Hearing such praise from you always reminds me of some unpleasant memories..." Xiao Zhuang said through gritted teeth.
I wonder who it was that made that person cry back then...
"Alright, welcome everyone to Smoky City. Follow me." Ash and his friends boarded a luxurious van and arrived at the Smoky City Gym.
"Wow..." Sure enough, the dojo, which was so extravagantly decorated that it resembled a floating four-story villa, still surprised the three little ones.
"This...this...this is a dojo?!" Ulte stammered, unable to speak coherently.
"Yes... this dojo was recently renovated because it was old and dilapidated," Xiao Zhuang casually explained.
"Welcome to the Inkstone Dojo." The old butler, dressed in a well-tailored suit, welcomed Ash and his friends inside.
After being seated at the long table in the restaurant, various trays of exquisite pastries and warm black tea were immediately brought to the table.
Xiao Zhuang thoughtfully spread his hands: "Everyone, don't be shy, let's eat and chat."
“Teacher…” The three little ones looked at Xiaozhi.
Xiao Zhi's lips twitched: "They meant well. You don't need to be so polite."
Watching the three little ones devour their food, Ash couldn't help but ask, "Miss Xiaozhuang, regarding the information you provided, is that Rayquaza still around?"
"Yes...it's still there." Xiao Zhuang gave a wry smile.
What kind of mess is this?!
Several months ago, an injured black Rayquaza descended from the sky and plunged headfirst into the Dragon Sanctuary.
Relying on his immense strength and the oppressive aura of the divine beast, this guy directly occupied the cave with the most concentrated energy in the Dragon's Holy Land to recuperate.
The problem is... that's Dragonite's house! It's an intangible cultural heritage left by Xiaozhuang's grandfather, the house where Dragonite has lived for many years!
This guy got kicked out, and then he's been living here by himself for almost half a year...
Poor Dragonite is already several hundred years old, and it still has to feed Rayquaza every day.
DianDian searched for posts about Black Rayquaza online because it tagged Alola Official, First Champion, and World Champion Ash.
Xiao Zhuang happened to see it, so he called Xiao Zhi that very night. That's how the local operation began.
"Alright." Having eaten and drunk his fill, Ash said seriously, "I hereby announce that the objective of this operation is to capture Black Rayquaza."
"Subdue?" Xiao Zhuang thought of Yu Longdu, the dragon champion who rushed into the holy land with great enthusiasm, his cloak even torn in the process.
"Are the three of them... okay?"
“One-on-one is impossible, but…” Ash looked at Roy and Ulte.
Roy's current lineup: Captain Pikachu, Shiny Lucario, Bone-patterned Torkoal, and Mega Triceratops.
The little thing has quite a bit of the flair that Ash had when he first debuted.
It's worth mentioning that, apart from the alternate dimension in Luminary City, the Pokémon in other places are still subject to the restrictions of the laws.
The level of a Super-Limit Pokémon will naturally drop back to a standard level. However, due to the energy transfer of an entire Super-Limit Pokémon, Roy's Stingray is already at its maximum level.
That level of power has only been seen on Red Boss's Charizard.
The only problem is that the Styracosaurus levels up too quickly. It's becoming a bit rebellious.
Although he was willing to follow Roy's orders, he didn't follow them completely.
You want him to use the Fierce Sky Sit technique? No problem. But if you want specific moves, sorry, I can do whatever I want...
This is also why Roy rarely uses the Styracoid.
They're being disobedient...
However, the Styrax is still the main force in ganging up on Rayquaza.
The only problem now is...
“Ulte.” Ash looked at his new student seriously: “You and Roy both wanted to catch Black Rayquaza.”
Tell me now, do you still want it?
“Of course, that’s the same style as the teacher’s,” Ulte whispered.
As Roy's companion, Ulte doesn't want to take Roy's favorite Pokémon, but he'd probably be unwilling to let Roy miss out on Rayquaza in order to achieve his dream of becoming the strongest.
"That's settled then." Ash pointed at Little Stalk: "You two have a one-on-one match with Little Stalk. Whoever loses has to give up the challenge of Rayquaza."
If we lose both, let Rayquaza roam around for now, and we'll try to capture it later.
“Okay! I agree.” Roy nodded firmly.
“No problem, I’m going to show you what I’m capable of.” Ulte grinned.
Only Xiao Zhuang was confused, pointing at himself with one finger: "Huh? Eh?! You're challenging me again?"
“That’s right. As the Holy Maiden of Dragons, let them see the true power of the Dragon type.” Xiao Zhi patted Xiao Zhuang’s shoulder forcefully.
The sexy beauty, who liked to use her whip to communicate, nodded blankly: "Alright, I'll reluctantly agree..."
Lico, covering her mouth as she ate a cookie, said: "No, hold it in, don't laugh..."
And so, in a daze, Xiao Zhuang led the two boys to the battlefield.
"Teacher... is everything alright?" Rico asked cautiously.
"It's alright, even if Ulte and Roy can't win, they won't lose too badly." Ash calmly raised his teacup.
"No... I mean, their trump card..." Rico couldn't help but cover her face.
In the battle arena of the Inkstone Gym, Xiao Zhuang throws out a Poké Ball with a smug look on his face: "Come on, let me show you the power of the Dragon type, Red-faced Dragon!"
A shimmering red-faced dragon with outstretched arms looks incredibly appealing.
Ulter on the opposite side: "Push beyond the limits, fulfilling my father's dying wish. Dragonite!!"
The Super Dragonite's figure stirred up a storm, clearing a path with incredible speed, and the Dragon God swooped down to confront the enemy head-on!
Boom!! The red-faced dragon was instantly sent flying backward, its entire body embedded in the wall.
If it weren't for my thick skin and tough flesh, I would have been killed instantly...
"Hiss~" Xiao Zhuang took a deep breath, his gaze solemn: "Red-faced Dragon, reverse scale!!"
With bloodshot eyes, the Red-faced Dragon charged at its opponent in a frenzy. Despite the Mega Dragonite's formidable strength, it was still gradually suppressed by the small dragon in its familiar territory.
Boom! In the end, the two Pokémon's dragon claws clashed, and they both collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
Tie!
Patting his chest, Xiao Zhuang sighed with lingering fear, "Kids these days are really scary. Luckily, my ace Dragonite hasn't been used yet."
The field beckoned, and Roy, beaming with a sunny smile, pulled out a Poké Ball: "Spikedin! Please!"
Boom! A violent, blood-red killing intent filled the air, and the Limitless Spinosaurus, its giant sword gleaming with a cold light, roared to the sky.
"Wait a minute... no..." Xiao Zhuang broke out in a cold sweat.
Before Roy could even speak, the griffin leaped up and said, "Go talk to my greatsword."
Giantsword Charge!! Boom!!!
"The winner is Roy!!" the referee quickly announced.
"It's alright, winning and losing are common in war. You've lost to me before, haven't you?" Xiao Zhi slowly handed a cup of hot coffee to Xiao Zhuang.
"That's not the same, you're a pervert..." Xiao Zhuang rolled his eyes.
Xiao Zhi smirked: "Did I ever say that my students are normal?"
Little Stake: _(:3」∠)_ I'm tired...
