Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

Chapter 924 Grace and Resurrection

Niangguang City, Beyond Company's indoor training ground.

"Night Demon! Shadow Fist!!" Humbert commanded in a deep voice.

Bang bang bang! A barrage of punches, like machine gun fire, swept forward.

With a clang, the sound of a sharp blade being drawn was heard, and the Azure Flame Blade Demon in front had suddenly reverted to using both hands.

At this moment, a magnificent sheathed longsword was gripped tightly by the Azure Flame Blade Demon, which then flicked the blade out of its sheath!

With a whoosh, the purple spiritual blade was unleashed, instantly sweeping away the Shadow Fist's attack, barely grazing the Night Demon.

However, even a tiny wound, as thin as a hair, caused the Night Demon to sway from side to side as if drunk.

"Azure Flame Blade Demon, Curse Kill," Amegio said coldly.

Clang! The blade returned to its sheath with a crisp sound, and at the same time, the Night Demon, clutching its wound, staggered and fell to the ground.

“This is…” Humbert looked up excitedly.

“Ghostly power, curse.” Amegio explained softly, “Ash’s Blademaster showed me the direction to improve. After hard training, my Blademaster has finally regained its hands.”

After that, the "blade" that Azure Flame Blade Demon obtained was this demonic sword.

I named it "Muramasa".

"As long as Muramasa's slash touches you, even a tiny wound will be directly imprinted with a powerful curse."

The Pokémon that gets hit will lose HP rapidly and quickly become unable to battle.

"Subarashi~" Hambel exclaimed excitedly, "What formidable strength, Master Emegio!"

“No, not enough.” Amegio shook his head, turned and walked out of the training room: “This power is used when the Azure Flame Blade Demon’s energy is depleted. If the difference in physical strength between the two sides is too great, the effect will probably be limited.”

Moreover, this ability is something even Rayquaza probably couldn't defeat, let alone...that one.

"Young Master, we've discovered that Spinner has left the company alone." Just then, Jill's message rang.

“I understand. Keep an eye on him.” Amegio put down his phone, a slight smile playing on his lips. “Hmph~ bastard, there’s definitely something wrong with him.”

Although I don't have any evidence yet, once I get hold of something against you, I'll crush you!

……

In Fried's lounge, amidst a mountain of documents, Fried's head peeked out.

"It's rare to see you working like a PhD," Oreo said as she walked into the room with a cup of coffee.

"Haha~ Don't make fun of me." Fried scratched his head: "I've read through all of Diana's notes and other written materials left by Lucius."

But... it still misses the point. It even mentions eternal life and the resurrection of the dead—it's too fantastical.

"Take it slow. Riko and the others are also working hard to grow, so don't put too much pressure on yourself." After encouraging Fried, Oreo went out to work.

Oreo, the shipwright, is the one who works the hardest to repair and upgrade the Brave Onion.

"You too, take a break," Fried said, getting up to take a sip of coffee, but his eyes remained fixed on the documents.

"The exploration team, Lucius's secret, and the eternal gift, the resurrection of the dead... just how many mysteries remain..."

……

Carlos region, Miare City.

As the new champion, Alain still lives separately from Dr. Blatano.

The Champions Bureau has requisitioned the city's landmark, the upper structure of the Crystal Tower.

This also makes the Luna Gym the most prestigious gym in all of Kalos, after all, the elevator leading to the Champion Road is located right above the gym...

"Alan-san, this proposal about the city-wide battle zone needs your approval." Pushing up his glasses, the now mature-looking Citron handed the form to the young man before him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Citron. The expansion of Miare City was completed so quickly thanks to you." Ailan nodded with a smile.

Only after becoming a champion did I realize how difficult it is to maintain my strength under such a heavy workload.

“After all, as Carlos’s first open-type municipality, Miare City needs space for its wildlife park and combat zone. The original Miare City simply couldn’t handle such a large influx of people.” Citron pushed up his glasses.

The closed energy shield system he spearheaded for nighttime combat zones is the latest invention of the entire alliance.

They truly used science to pave the way for the future.

"Phew... all done." After signing, Ai Lan stretched. "That should do it for today. Want to grab a drink after get off work?"

“I think I’ll pass.” Citron shook his head with a wry smile: “Ever since Yulijia went on a trip, my old man has been acting like an empty nester. I still have to go home for dinner.”

"Is the old man still making Super Blaziken?" Ai Lan asked, amused.

"I haven't gone since I hurt my back last time, and Yurija confiscated my Blaziken too." Citron shrugged.

"Hahaha, speaking of which, Bonicarrius is quite talented." Alan laughed expectantly, "After all, she has that Pokémon with her, so the future Kalos should be handed over to her."

“You’re still a long way from retiring.” Citron rolled his eyes. “That child isn’t like you guys; she’s impulsive. Lately, she’s become obsessed with dancing and is getting very close to her little cousin, Dairo, from Tierno.”

"What place did Tierno get in the last League Tournament?" Alain asked with interest.

“Eighth… and that’s still the level he was trained on with Zimi.” Citron shook his head: “You’d be better off relying on Doroba than on him.”

"Alright~" Ai Lan sighed helplessly. Who would have thought that the championship title would become a hot potato?

The two were speechless with emotion when suddenly, the red telephone on the table rang.

“Dedicated line!” Citron’s eyes narrowed.

"Hello! This is Ai Lan." Ai Lan answered the phone immediately.

"Alan-san, please proceed to the wilderness area near Gate 11 immediately." A mature female voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

"Is there a problem with the enhancement zone, Dr. Mimohime?" Ai Lan asked, frowning.

In order to control the Rak element emerging from underground, several key locations were transformed into enhanced restricted zones under Alain's orders.

The wilderness area that Mimo-hime mentioned is precisely the largest forbidden area. According to Shigeru's research, it is very likely a key location.

"I don't know how to explain it to you, but I've already asked the police to cordon off the area. Why don't you come and take a look?" Mimo Hime said hesitantly.

"Okay, Citron and I will be there soon!"

Upon hearing this, Citron immediately activated the top layer of the Crystal Tower, revealing the color of the sky.

"Charizard, let's go!!" With a flick of her cape, Alain rode on her Charizard and soared into the sky.

"Magneto, let's follow!" Clemont stood on his disc and rushed into the wilderness.

Soon, the two landed in the restricted area.

The sight that caught their eye made Ailan and Citron gasp in shock.

"hiss……"

In the center of the desolate rocky landscape, a huge crack was radiating a pink glow.

In the light, two naked figures, who had just been draped in blankets, stared blankly at the ground and their own hands.

Clemont nearly stumbled and fell, but Alain steadied him and caught him: "King Z and...Vladari?!"

Although his hair and beard were already gray, the man before me, resembling a lion, was without a doubt none other than Vladari, the confirmed dead leader of Team Flare!

“The dead… have come back to life…” Citron murmured in disbelief.

To be continued...

"This~"
