Chapter 294 The Power of the Divine Beast's Blessing

"Do you want to know the correct way to use this power?"

Zhang Heng's eyes instantly lit up with burning desire upon hearing this, and he said eagerly, "Guan Jun, of course I want to know! If possible, please feel free to enlighten me."

Duan Guanjun nodded slightly, looked at Swampert with a deep gaze, and said slowly: "The abilities of some legendary Pokémon are even equivalent to the rules of the world, and they have the power to change the world."

Zhang Heng nodded slightly in agreement. Ever since he had come into contact with Zekrom, he naturally knew how powerful a divine beast with a priesthood was.

Duan Guanjun continued, "A more intuitive manifestation of this is that the Swampert can acquire skills that are not part of its skill pool. This is inherently beyond the scope of the world's rules. However, the influence of external forces is not its own, so it takes time to hone it."

As he spoke, Duan Guanjun took out a Poké Ball from his waist, and with a flash of white light, he released his Shiny Elkado.

Shiny Alakazam has a sturdy physique, smooth muscle lines, and exudes an aura that is even more powerful than that of a champion-level Pokémon.

"Zhang Heng, do you still remember Aledo's holy sword?"

Zhang Heng looked at the majestic Shining Elkada in front of him, and the shocking scene from the past instantly appeared vividly in his mind.

In the city center arena of Tanzhou City in Central China, a ferocious field of mythical beasts was wreaking havoc. The mega Alarad, with its blue glowing body, was suspended in mid-air, concealing a surging power in the silence.

The four huge films behind him fluttered like white cloaks, and the fighting energy in the air gathered like a surging tide. In the blink of an eye, a 40-meter-long giant sword appeared out of thin air and slashed towards the field of the divine beast.

That was the first time Zhang Heng saw an ordinary skill being able to unleash such terrifying combat power, which was more than enough to even rival that of a divine beast.

At this moment, Duan Guanjun looked at Zhang Heng, whose face was lost in memories, and said, "This is the power of the Holy Sword. Not only is it blessed by the Mega Evolution, but also by the fact that Alakazam has received the blessing of the Fighting-type Divine Beast, making its Holy Sword skills different from others."

Zhang Heng suddenly understood after hearing this. When he first saw the Holy Sword skill with his own eyes, he was only shocked by its devastating power, but did not think about the reason behind it.

Now that the Champion has pointed it out, I understand how huge the impact of the Divine Beast's blessing is on Pokémon's skills.

"Champion Duan, earlier in the Central China Championship Tournament, Champion Li's Mega Charizard Y easily defeated my father's Mega Charizard X, which had four times the fire resistance, with a single fire-type move. Was the Divine Beast's blessing also a factor?"

Duan Guanjun raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that this young trainer could recall the battle he had witnessed before in just a few words. Duan Guanjun felt from the bottom of his heart that Zhang Heng was a good seedling. He nodded and agreed with Zhang Heng's question.

After receiving the answer, Zhang Heng turned around and looked at his Swamp Leaping Fish, his eyes full of thought.

Swampert received the blessing of Martial Arts Master Bear and learned skills that did not belong to his own skill pool, such as Sonic Fist and Flattery. Can he also, like Alakazam's Holy Sword, unleash unimaginable power through continuous polishing?

Duan Guanjun followed Zhang Heng's gaze and continued, "The special skills that Swamp Leaper has now acquired have unlimited potential, but they will require extensive training to unleash their full power."

Zhang Heng took a deep breath, looked firmly at his Swampert, and said, "I understand, Champion Duan. I will improve together with Swampert, and strive to develop these skills to their full potential."

Duan Guanjun looked at Zhang Heng, who was full of confidence, and then poured cold water on him. His expression returned to calmness and said, "Although Aledo and Swampert have both received the blessings of the Divine Beast, they are fundamentally different."

"Please tell me, this is very important to me and my partner."

"Holy Sword is a skill in Alakazam's skill pool. Alakazam itself is a Fighting-type Pokémon, which is compatible with the Fighting-type Pokémon that blesses it. Therefore, Alakazam is very adept at using Holy Sword skills, and Swampert has..."

Duan Guanjun paused slightly, his gaze lingering on the Swamp Leaper for a moment. "These skills aren't fully compatible with its attributes and skill system. It's even more difficult to go beyond the scope of conventional skills."

Zhang Heng's brow furrowed slightly, his expression growing serious. He understood what Duan Guanjun said was true. As a Water and Ground-type Pokémon, it was extremely difficult for Frozen to suddenly master Fighting- and Dark-type skills like Sonic Punch and Boast, which weren't originally its type.

"Then, Duan Guanjun..." Zhang Heng raised his head and was about to ask.

Before he finished speaking, Duan Guanjun shook his head slightly. He didn't have any particularly good methods to guide the training of the swamp jumper.

So he threw this question to Zhang Heng, hoping that this young trainer could blaze a unique training trail.

Zhang Heng's words were interrupted by Duan Guanjun's shaking head, and he instantly fell into deep thought.

At this point, Duan Guanjun continued slowly, "Okay, I've told you a lot today. I think you should think carefully about your future path. Will you become a selfless healer like Mr. Zhang, or a top trainer like your father?"

Zhang Heng's thoughts were tangled like a tangled mess. His mind kept replaying the image of his grandfather's kindness when treating patients and saving lives, as well as his father's heroic figure when commanding Pokémon to fight on the field.

No matter which one he chooses, it will determine the future direction of his life.

Duan Guanjun looked at Zhang Heng, lost in thought, his eyes full of understanding. He knew that the future of young people was always full of confusion and uncertainty, so he wasn't in a rush for an answer.

Duan Guanjun looked up into the distance, his eyes revealing a trace of nostalgia and emotion. He said, "This is the last time I'll come to this Kirishima Island. This island was once where I met my most important partner, and where I trained hard day after day. However, with my current strength, this island can no longer provide me with any help. Therefore, I will not come here again."

Zhang Heng nodded in understanding. Indeed, with Duan Guanjun's current status and strength in the Pokémon world, finding a rival to match him worldwide was a real challenge, and naturally, there was no one on this island who could serve as a match for him.

Duan Guanjun turned his gaze to Zhang Heng and changed the subject, "But for you, this is an excellent training ground. The Golden Carp and Milotic you possess can accurately locate the coordinates of this island, and you should be able to achieve your goal of landing on the island with your help."

As soon as the words fell, Menas, who had been quietly standing aside, suddenly perked up. Its bright eyes gleamed with light as it gazed straight at the deep cave entrance deep in the forest, where it found its companions who needed to be rescued...
