Pokémon: Master System.

Chapter 541 Thunderous Glory, Awe-inspiring Power (Part 7)

Because all the Pokémon's strength was suppressed to the level of a Gym Leader, Xia Yu couldn't tell the extent of this shiny Gyarados's strength, but judging from its size, it must be very strong!

As for the Dragonair on the other side, Xia Yu was certain that the Dragonair in front of him was not particularly strong!

Normally, a Dragonair with the strength of a Gym Leader should be able to evolve into a Dragonite. The fact that this Dragonair did not evolve into a Dragonite proves that its true strength is definitely not particularly high!

"Dragon Pulse, Soundwave Dragon!"

As Xia Yu's voice rang out, Noivern erupted with Dragon-type energy, streaking across the sky and forming an energy dragon that flew towards Dragonair.

"100,000 Volts, Draco Balto!"

On the other side, Xia Yu directly had Dragapult unleash Thunderbolt, electric energy surged, lightning flashed, and it pierced through the sea surface, blasting towards Shiny Gyarados!

Both Dragon Pulse and Thunderbolt accurately hit their targets.

Both Gyarados and Dragonair were enraged, letting out angry roars, swimming and leaping out of the sea into the sky to launch a counterattack.

…………

imperial capital.

Teito University.

As Su Muzi walked out of the classroom after class, Xia Jie immediately took her arm and whispered, "Wanyu, have you seen the news?"

"No... what happened?" Su Muzi asked in a low voice, her eyes looking at Long Yanning walking in the corridor.

Long Yanning is so beautiful and charming, no wonder Xia Yu likes Teacher Long.

"A secret realm has appeared in Luocheng, Xishu Province, which is the site of the Huayang Kingdom ruins. It is said to be called the Dragon Spiral Tower Secret Realm."

The news of the discovery of a secret realm at the Huayang Kingdom ruins quickly rose to the top of the trending searches within just half an hour, sparking widespread discussion. Xia Jie, a surfing enthusiast, naturally saw the news immediately.

"Secret Realm?" Su Muzi paused slightly. She hadn't been listening carefully to Xia Jie's words, only catching the last two words, "Secret Realm."

"Hmm. It's said that this is the secret realm of the first-level god Zekrom. It's all over the internet now, and everyone's incredibly envious." Xia Jie's eyes also showed a hint of envy as she whispered to Su Muzi, "It's a pity that the secret realm isn't in the capital, otherwise we might have a chance to explore it. Luocheng is too far from here, it's in Xishu Province."

"Wait a minute..." Su Muzi was slightly taken aback when she heard Xia Jie's words: "Where did you say that secret realm is?"

"Luocheng in Western Sichuan Province," Xia Jie asked. "Do you know that place?"

"No."

Su Muzi shook her head, then her face fell into deep thought.

She remembered that when Xia Yu called her yesterday, he told her that he was going to Luocheng in Xishu Province and told her to keep it a secret and not to tell anyone!

As a result, Xia Yu went to Luocheng yesterday, and today a secret realm appeared in Luocheng... The more Su Muzi thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She secretly comforted herself, thinking that it should just be a coincidence... right?

"Xia Jie, let's go back to the dorm." Su Muzi said as she walked, taking out her phone to call Xia Yu.

"The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please call again later."

…………

Meanwhile, on the first floor of the Dragon Spiral Tower.

Lu Tinghe's gaze fell on the bronze bell and the Psychic Clay Golem in front of him, and he sent out two Pokémon at the same time.

"Go, Breath-shroom, Emboar!"

…………

Xia Yu was naturally unable to see the fierce battle on the first floor, but the battle on the second floor was nearing its end.

Both Dracobalut and Noivern have gained an overwhelming advantage.

Dragapult's consecutive Thunderbolts perfectly countered the Water/Flying type Gyarados, while on the other side, Noivern secured victory with a single STAB Draco Meteor.

"Dragonball, final blow! Thunderbolt!"

"Sonic dragon, sonic blast!"

…………

"boom!"

As the explosion rang out, Gyarados and Dragonair simultaneously lost their battle ability and plummeted towards the sea. Xia Yu reacted quickly and threw out a Poké Ball, successfully capturing both Pokémon.

After catching the two Pokémon, Xia Yu immediately went to the beach and released them from their Poké Balls. At the same time, he released Indeedee and took out various medicines to treat them as quickly as possible.

"Love and Guardian, New Moon Prayer!"

Time is extremely precious to Xia Yu.

Every minute and every second is extremely important.

…………

Ten minutes later, both Dragonair and Gyarados recovered their strength.

After they regained consciousness, they looked at Xia Yu and the Pokémon beside him, their faces showing wariness. However, feeling the warm energy emanating from Indeedee, healing their injuries, their hostility subsided slightly.

Xia Yu took a deep breath. Time was running out for him, and someone could break through to the next level of the secret realm at any moment.

His gaze lingered between Gyarados and Dragonair, finally settling on the gentler Dragonair.

After all, it's almost impossible to get the ferocious Gyarados to obey immediately, but there's a slight chance with the gentle Dragonair: "Dragonair, from today onwards, you are my partner."

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Hakron twisted its slender and graceful body, looking at Xia Yu warily with eyes full of rejection.

Seeing this, Xia Yu sighed inwardly. Most newly captured wild Pokémon are wary of their trainers, which is unavoidable.

Trust can only be built slowly over time, but that's exactly what Xia Yu lacks most right now.

If Hakron refuses to obey his orders, Xia Yu will have no choice but to return home. Once he leaves, it will be difficult to enter the Dragon Spiral Tower Secret Realm again.

It is foreseeable that the Pokémon Association will deploy a large number of troops to guard the entrance to the secret realm. If we miss this opportunity, we don't know when we will have another chance.

Seeing the rejection on Hakron's face, Xia Yu put on a serious and earnest expression, looked directly at Hakron, and made one last attempt: "Hakron, although this is our first meeting, I hope you can believe me that I have no ill intentions towards you."

“We will become the best partners. I want to take you out to see the wider world, instead of just living in this little secret place.”

"Hakuron..."

Xia Yu spoke for a long time, which slightly lessened Hakron's hostility, but it was still not enough to convince Hakron to believe him.

Seeing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Xia Yu's face, and he couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

This Hakkarosaurus definitely downloaded an anti-fraud app; it's incredibly vigilant.

"Forget it, Hakron, there's no use in saying more. Don't worry, I'll prove you right with my actions in the future."

Since things have come to this point, this is the only way to end it.

Xia Yu took a deep breath, a smile returning to his face. He faced the failure with composure; he had done his best, and there was no need for regret or remorse now.

Chapter 542 Thunderous Glory, Awe-inspiring Power (Part 8)

Xia Yu's gaze fell on the azure sea, he looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, took a deep breath, and smiled, accepting the "failure" of this trip to the secret realm.

Although he didn't manage to capture the legendary ideal dragon Zekrom on this trip, he still gained a considerable amount of experience.

S-rank item: Light Clay.

A champion-level red Gyarados!

And Hakron, who has near-master level qualifications!

Such a harvest is already quite substantial, far exceeding the gains from any previous secret realm. Why should I be greedy for Zekrom?

Furthermore, even if you reach the top of the tower and revive Zekrom, you may not necessarily gain Zekrom's approval.

Do I truly possess the ideals and beliefs worthy of Czechoslovakia?

Xia Yu couldn't guarantee it.

Although he was very unwilling, retreating was his only option now.

"Hakron, we'll be good partners from now on. Please give me your guidance."

"Soundwave Dragon, Dragonvalet, let's go home!"

…………

Xia Yu smiled and faced the situation calmly. Before leaving, he took out the Dark Stone from his pocket, wanting to take one last look at it.

At this moment, the dark stone shone with a dazzling luster, bathed in a faint light of lightning, a stark contrast to its initial dull and lifeless appearance.

However, at that moment, both Dragonair and Gyarados, upon seeing the Dark Stone and sensing its powerful yet familiar aura, froze in place.

Dark Stone?!

…………

Immediately afterwards, Dragonair and Gyarados looked at Xia Yu and let out a cry at the same time, wagging their tails and pointing to the distant island.

"Ok?"

This sudden change caught Xia Yu off guard. He looked at Gyarados and Dragonair and slowly said, "You mean you're willing to take me to that island over there?"
