Chapter 434 The Young Legendary Pokémon Trainer
Chapter 434 The Young Legendary Pokémon Trainer
Zhang Heng's lips curled up, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes, as he slowly drew the Master Ball from his waist.
Long Tao's gaze was somewhat dazed. What kind of Pokémon would be captured with a Master Ball, such a precious item?
In an instant, a blinding white light burst forth from the sphere, illuminating the entire arena as bright as day.
In the white light, a lithe Pokémon appeared proudly. It possessed a robust physique and exuded a mysterious aura that blended Water and Fighting types.
The hair on its head hangs down like white silk, resembling a calm yet turbulent river.
It is surrounded by a layer of faint water vapor, and with each breath, it seems to cause the water molecules in the air to move rhythmically.
It is the Combo-Style Martial Arts Bear Master. As a water-type divine beast, even when it conceals its aura, it still exudes a terrifying power.
As the Martial Arts Bear Master appeared, an invisible divine beast pressure spread outwards like a surging tide.
The other venues where the second round of the competition was underway fell silent instantly, as all the contestants and Pokémon felt this powerful force.
Those Pokémon that were originally engaged in fierce battle and preparing to unleash their skills were frozen in place as if they had been struck by a spell, their eyes filled with fear and awe.
Completely forgetting the skill they were about to use, they all looked towards the area where Zhang Heng was.
Duan Ling, the son of Principal Duan, is also a Fighting-type trainer who knows the habits and temperaments of Fighting-type Pokémon like the back of his hand.
You can understand how difficult it is to catch a proud and warlike Fighting-type Pokémon, let alone a legendary Pokémon.
He has always regarded Zhang Heng as a competitor of equal standing.
At this moment, looking at the majestic martial arts master Xiong in the arena, I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.
He sighed inwardly, "I never knew the gap between us was so vast."
Zhai Yu was equally shocked, recalling his previous battle with Zhang Heng, when Zhang Heng defeated him with the Aluminum Steel Dragon.
In retrospect, it's clear that Zhang Heng held back and went easy on Zhang Heng back then.
Principal Duan stood by the office window, his gaze fixed on the imposing figure in the arena—Martial Arts Master Xiong.
His face was terribly gloomy, his hands gripping the window frame were white from the force, the veins on his forehead were slightly bulging, and his eyes were full of anxiety.
"It's just playing the piano randomly!"
Principal Duan roared again, his voice echoing in the empty office, making the air tremble slightly.
He quickly turned around and gave instructions to his mentor behind him: "Go to the competition venue immediately and notify the broadcasting team to stop the live broadcast immediately! Tell them that there is an emergency at the school and the broadcast of the competition needs to be temporarily suspended. Make sure they cooperate. If anyone dares to spread the news privately, the school will investigate to the end!"
The tutor was startled by the sudden order, but seeing Principal Duan's serious expression, he dared not ask any further questions.
He turned around hastily, jogged out of the office, and went to carry out his mission.
Principal Duan was well aware of the impact of the divine beast's appearance. With the Martial Arts Lion, the crisis they would face would not be so passive. However, Zhang Heng's lack of awareness of the occasion caused him great distress.
This campus competition was originally intended to train students and promote communication, but the appearance of Martial Arts Master Xiong has completely disrupted the fairness and balance of the competition, and its subsequent development may very well slip out of the school's control.
He cannot allow the situation to continue like this; he must take measures as soon as possible to first control the spread of the news, and then find a way to solve the follow-up problems.
Although the school's control was very timely, the elimination match was broadcast live, and despite the campus being closed, the media's cameras had already captured everything accurately.
The heroic figure of Martial Arts Master Xiong and Zhang Heng's calm and confident demeanor quickly spread across the country through online live streaming.
The internet was instantly abuzz. Headlines of all kinds proliferated:
"The stunning debut of genius trainer Zhang Heng and his legendary Pokémon"
The youngest legendary Pokémon trainer in history has been born.
"A mythical beast has appeared in the campus competition. Just how strong is Zhang Heng?"
Netizens shared and discussed the match wildly, causing its popularity to skyrocket. Everyone was talking about the young trainer who suddenly revealed his legendary Pokémon.
Zhang Heng naturally understood the situation he would face if he revealed the divine beast.
Now it's not just about Dynamaxing, but also about owning legendary Pokémon. Zhang Heng doesn't have that much time to deal with those lurking villains right now.
"Gulu~"
Long Tao couldn't help but swallow hard, his body trembling slightly. This trembling wasn't due to excitement, but rather because he was genuinely frightened by the divine beast's oppressive aura.
His legs were weak, his breaths were trembling, and his throat was so dry that he couldn't make a sound.
His gaze was fixed on the Martial Arts Bear Master, his heart filled with despair. In the face of this powerful divine beast, all the tactics and strategies he had devised and prepared seemed so insignificant and vulnerable.
Snorlax was also intimidated by the aura of this legendary beast. It was fast asleep when it was suddenly jolted awake.
Its massive body trembled as it rose from its lying position, its two small eyes filled with terror and unease.
It glanced at the martial arts bear master radiating a terrifying aura ahead, then looked back at Long Tao, letting out a low whimper.
It seemed to be protesting to the trainer: "Dude, why did you use me to fight a legendary Pokémon?!" It looked so aggrieved and helpless.
Everyone was drawn to the appearance of Martial Arts Master Xiong, and all eyes were on him.
In this deathly silence, only the patter of raindrops hitting the ground and the steady, powerful breathing of Martial Arts Master Xiong could be heard.
Zhang Heng looked at Long Tao with sincerity and apology in his eyes and said, "Senior Brother Long Tao, the battle situation has evolved to this point, which is really beyond my expectations and is no longer under my control."
He sighed softly, his gaze sweeping over Martial Arts Master Xiong before returning to Long Tao's face.
"But since we've come this far, I still hope to respect your choice."
Zhang Heng's voice was calm yet firm, standing out clearly in the tense and oppressive atmosphere of the competition.
Zhang Heng's meaning was quite clear: if Long Tao still wanted to finish the competition, he would not hesitate to have Martial Arts Master Xiong launch an attack.
But it would be even better if Long Tao chose to surrender, as it would not only save time but also demonstrate his protection of Pokémon as a trainer.
Long Tao gritted his teeth, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his eyes were full of struggle.
The water and fighting energies around Martial Arts Bear Master intertwined wildly, causing the air to distort and tremble. An imperceptible black crack slowly tore open in the void, and dark purple energy surged out like a tidal wave.
Zhang Heng's heart skipped a beat. This was Giratina's power of law taking effect. The mortal world could not contain the full power of a divine beast, and this arena was about to become a divine beast's exclusive arena.
Long Tao stared at Snorlax's trembling body, seeing the terror in its eyes filled with fear of the powerful pressure.
He took a deep breath, slowly lowered the Poké Ball in his hand, and said in a low but firm voice, "I surrender."
The entire arena fell silent. Duan Ling's eyes were full of understanding: "In the face of an absolute difference in strength, protecting your own Pokémon is what makes a true trainer!"
Zhai Yu nodded in agreement, his gaze towards Long Tao now showing more understanding.
The silence of the arena was broken by Duan Ling's applause, the crisp sound particularly abrupt in the stagnant air.
The other contestants seemed to wake from a dream, and thunderous applause swept across the entire arena.
Long Tao's Snorlax clumsily rubbed against its master's hand, letting out a satisfied purr. The fear from before had turned into the relief of surviving a disaster.
"Senior brother, I accept the offer."
Long Tao shook his head and said, "It's because my skills are inferior. But you've kept this hidden for too long. Who would have thought you had such a powerful weapon hidden away?"
His tone carried a hint of teasing, but more than that, it conveyed a sense of relief.
At the same time, Principal Duan rushed to the competition venue. His face was still gloomy, but there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Watching the two chatting happily in the arena, he sighed heavily and whispered to his mentor beside him, "Pass the word: the competition continues. In subsequent matches, such incidents are strictly prohibited."
"Om~"
Suddenly, ripples appeared in the sky, and a deafening buzzing sound tore through the air.
Everyone looked up as Duan Guanjun, riding a shimmering Gallade surrounded by iridescent light, pierced through the clouds and hovered above Goose City Academy.
Wow! Duan Guanjun!
"The champion came in person?!"
A deafening roar erupted from the crowd, and countless fervent gazes focused on the figure that symbolized the pinnacle of China's strength.
Shiny Gallade gently waved its long arm, and a pale purple psychic energy wave spread like a tide.
The remaining water and fighting-type energies of the Martial Arts Bear Master vanished the moment they touched the wave, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.
The divine beast domain, which had expanded to a hundred meters, began to shrink rapidly, and the dark purple cracks eventually turned into stardust and disappeared into the sky.
At this moment, the oppressive aura emanating from Martial Arts Master Xiong has diminished sharply, and he is barely maintaining the aura of a Heavenly King.
Duan Guanjun's voice echoed in Zhang Heng's mind through Gallade's psychic resonance: "Zhang Heng, come with me."
These five short words carry an undeniable authority, yet also contain a deeper meaning.
He and Principal Duan exchanged a glance; the two brothers communicated silently with just a nod, without needing to say a word.
"Could it be? Kyurem has arrived?!"
Zhang Heng immediately recalled his Martial Arts Ursa Master. As soon as the metallic Master Ball landed in his palm, he flicked out a Brave Eagle Poké Ball.
A figure in azure blue, accompanied by a hurricane, burst through the air, letting out a loud eagle's cry. Zhang Heng took a running start, used the edge of the stands for leverage to leap up, and precisely landed on the back of the Warrior Eagle in mid-air.
The wind blades grazed his cheeks, and he squeezed his legs against the eagle's belly. With a long "chirp," he and the Flash Gallade flew south one after the other.
The clouds churned behind them, leaving the audience gazing up at their receding figures, unable to recover for a long time.
The warrior eagle spread its wings, leaving a bluish-green afterimage in the clouds.
Zhang Heng leaned close to the eagle's back, the strong wind tearing at his clothes, but he still managed to raise his head and shout, "Duan Guanjun, where are we going?"
The shimmering Gallade in front of them suddenly hovered, and as Duan Champion turned around, his Champion Cap fluttered in the wind: "Do you remember before the Misty Island, you and Mudkip used Dynamax once?"
Zhang Heng's pupils constricted as memories flooded back—on the day of the Fengcheng Sea Fishing Competition, they encountered armed bandits, and it was at the critical moment that the Mudkip's Dynamax energy turned the tide of the battle.
The salty sea breeze, the deafening gunshots, and the roar of giant mudskippers crashing into the sea are still vivid in my mind.
"Yes, I used Dynamax in that sea area, so what?"
Duan Guanjun raised his hand and threw out a holographic projection, in which a distorted mudflat appeared in the dark blue light.
Dark purple energy, like boiling magma, surged from the central lair, and the faint roar of a giant beast could be heard in the scene.
“That location formed a unique mudflat, and in the center of the mudflat was a nest-like entrance that spewed out the same Dynamax energy.”
"A Dynamax Den?!"
