A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

Chapter 295 Another Challenge

Zhang Heng looked at the eager look in Milotic's eyes as he wanted to rescue his companions, and he had already made up his mind.

But he still had many unanswered questions. Seeing Duan Guanjun about to leave, he quickly said, "Duan Guanjun, thank you for your guidance! I have one more question. What kind of organization is the Sunshine Divine Society that covets the Tower of Evil?"

Now that Zhang Heng has the recognition of the Water Tower, protecting that space will eventually become his responsibility. It would be a good idea to take this opportunity to understand this unknown enemy.

Duan Guanjun paused, slowly turned around, and shook his head, but he didn't hide anything. He said truthfully, "Their exact number, nationality, and habitat are all unknown. But what is certain is that the members of this organization are likely the elite of various countries, and even their core members are all trainers with legendary beasts."

Zhang Heng was deeply shocked upon hearing this, his face filled with astonishment. He wondered what kind of organization could bring together all the trainers who possessed Divine Beasts? In China, the only person most likely to possess a Divine Beast was the Champion.

Duan Guanjun looked at Zhang Heng's shocked expression and continued, "Don't worry. Their forces aren't yet strong enough to act recklessly. At least in terms of direct combat power, they don't dare to make any plans against China. However, you still need to seize the time to grow."

Zhang Heng bowed deeply to Duan Guanjun and said thank you solemnly. As a top figure in China, there was really no need for him to have too much interaction with a newcomer like Zhang Heng.

However, as a champion, he still discovered Zhang Heng's shining points and gave Zhang Heng this series of guidance.

Duan Guanjun waved his hand and continued, "With the start of the school term approaching, my hope for you is to join the Lingnan team representing South China and win honor for the region."

After saying that, Duan Guanjun threw out the Poké Ball. With a "bang", a white light flashed, and the majestic warrior eagle appeared again.

The Warrior Eagle dove down, and Duan Guanjun leaped up. Before leaving, he shouted to Zhang Heng, "The mountain behind this island is usually where I train. If you need me, you can train there in the future."

After saying that, Duan Guanjun commanded the Warrior Eagle, and the Warrior Eagle made a loud bird call, "Chirp--", flapped its wings and flew towards the back mountain of Kirishima, and gradually disappeared into the sky.

After Zhang Heng and the Pokémon said goodbye to Duan Guanjun, their gaze returned to Milotic. Milotic's lively eyes were filled with anxiety, and it kept swaying its body towards the cave, as if reminding Zhang Heng not to forget the purpose of their trip - to rescue their companions trapped in the cave.

"Set off."

Following Zhang Heng's order, the Swamp Leaper and Milotic flanked Zhang Heng and plunged into the forest.

The sky was completely obscured by dense foliage, with only a few rays of sunlight struggling to penetrate the cracks, casting dappled shadows on the ground. All around was silence, with only the sound of his footsteps and the gentle movements of the Pokémon.

As they walked, Mienshao noticed a familiar presence. It was the Parasaurolophus they had encountered before, standing quietly by the roadside.

This time he showed no hostility and consciously made way for them. His eyes were less vigilant and had a different meaning, as if he was tacitly allowing them to pass.

Zhang Heng nodded slightly and continued forward with his Pokémon. Along the way, Swampert swung its fins, using its keen senses to explore the way; Milotic was graceful yet eager, its gaze fixed firmly on the cave where its longed-for companion lay.

As we went deeper, the light grew dimmer and the air became more humid. After walking for an unknown amount of time, we finally saw the entrance to the deep cave.

Milotic's body trembled slightly, its eyes full of eagerness and anticipation, as it slid towards the cave entrance first.

Zhang Heng took a deep breath and followed closely, stepping into the damp and deep cave again. The cave was dark, and water drops kept falling on the wall, making a dripping sound.

Milotic led the way in front, and Swamp Leap followed closely behind Milotic, using its fins to sense the movements around it and escort Zhang Heng.

I don’t know how long I walked, but the view ahead suddenly opened up and a huge open-air cave appeared before my eyes.

"Wow~"

Inside the cave, a wide pool comes into view. A waterfall rushes down from a high place and falls into the pool, splashing large amounts of white water and making a deafening roar.

Although the scene of happy play in the pool is no longer there, some water-type Pokémon can still be seen.

The horned goldfish swam cautiously in the water, revealing a bit of uneasiness; at the bottom of the pool, the cherry fish and the hunting fish hid in the corners, and their movements also revealed vigilance.

"Woo~"

Following a gentle chirp from the Milotic, the fish that had been hiding at the bottom of the water all surfaced. Seeing their once severely injured and dying companion now healthy again, they were filled with joy and sincerely happy for Milotic.

These ugly fish gathered around the pool, looking up at the Milotic above the pool, their little eyes sparkling with excitement.

Zhang Heng squatted beside the pool with a pleased smile on his face. He said to the Uglianos, "Uglianos, I've done what I promised you. I said I would bring Mienshao back healthy."

The chouchou fish seemed to understand Zhang Heng's words. They swam happily in the water, expressing their gratitude to Zhang Heng in their own unique way.

In this happy and warm moment, a sudden roar interrupted the tranquility.

"Ow~"

From the entrance of the cave covered by the waterfall, there were roars and the dull sound of a huge Pokémon sliding. The sound was getting closer and closer, as if it would break out of the cave at any time.

Zhang Heng and all the Pokémon present felt their hearts suddenly tighten.

Milotic's body began to tremble slightly, and the scene of its disastrous defeat in the last battle with Gyarados involuntarily emerged in its mind.

But its eyes also gleamed with excitement, a desire for revenge and an eagerness to secure a habitat for its companions. These two complex emotions intertwined, causing its body to tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Zhang Heng gently stroked its body and said softly, "It's okay, Mienshao. This time you won't face it alone. I will fight alongside you. Defeat it."

Milotic nodded slightly, and a blue light appeared around its body. The water ring skill was activated, and the water ring slowly rotated, providing protection for it and also foreshadowing that a fierce battle was about to begin.

At this time, water splashed from the cave behind the waterfall, and a huge Gyarados slowly appeared on a platform behind the waterfall.

It has a sturdy body, and its scales gleam with a cold and hard luster in the dim light. A long scar on its face runs from the corner of its eye to its chin, adding to its murderous aura.

It looked down at everyone from above, its red eyes blazing with fighting spirit, and its powerful aura made the surrounding air tremble.
