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

Its expression didn't seem too good. Its gaze swept over Zhang Heng and the Leaping Duck, finally settling on Zhang Heng.

It has no desire for the Water Drop Slab fragments themselves. As the Ho-Oh Guard, its duty is to select the Rainbow Warriors, not to pursue the fragments of the Creator God.

Moreover, this was supposed to be a test of Zhang Heng's understanding and ability to cope with the "vast water system".

The fact that it was cracked so easily in such a "shortcut" way left it with no way to prepare for the subsequent tests.

The water power it reveres is that kind of overwhelming, violent, and absolute force that nature itself possesses, which is exactly what it wanted Zhang Heng to experience and challenge.

But rules are rules, the waterspout has been broken, and the first stage of the trial has been passed.

The ethereal yet majestic voice of the Water Lord resounded directly in Zhang Heng's heart, carrying an undeniable authority.

"Human, you have proven your worth, by whatever means."

"But the path to the Burnt Tower requires defeating them! Use only the power of water! Then you will pass my test!"

Just as Zhang Heng had not fully grasped the meaning of Suijun's words—

"Boom! Boom!"

Two incredibly thick columns of water suddenly exploded from the ground on either side of the charred tower! Within the water columns, two figures, one large and one small, landed with a thud, causing the ground to tremble slightly!

The one on the left is enormous, like a moving mountain of flesh!

Its entire body was grayish-blue, and an enormous mouth took up almost half of its body, seemingly containing endless space. Its small eyes were dull yet carried a strange sense of oppression. This was none other than the Roaring Eater!

The one on the right is slender and graceful, like a proud dancer.

Its main body is white, with bright blue fins and tail, red blush on both sides of its cheeks, and its eyes are lively yet cunning.

It gracefully circled around Chihouba; it was Mililong!

The moment these two Pokémon appeared, they displayed an extremely strong synergy and a sense of oppression.

Zhang Heng's eyes narrowed, and his system ability instantly scanned the area:

Pokémon Name: Groudon

Attribute: Water

Characteristics: Simple

Level: 85 (Champion-level combat power)

.........................................................

Pokémon Name: Milly Dragon

Attributes: Water, Dragon

Feature: Giving commands

Level: 78 (Near-Champion Level Combat Power)

"It's a doubles trial, and you have to use only Water-type Pokémon? Does that mean you have to use Water-type Pokémon?"

Zhang Heng had his own plan in mind. Doubles matches were indeed his weakness. He had experienced more large-scale battles than fine-tuned teamwork, but that did not mean he lacked tactical skills!

Suicune's test is one he cannot back down from, and besides, he has a reason to complete it!

Without hesitation, Zhang Heng's eyes sharpened. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Waves Rippling! Combo-Style Martial Arts Bear Masters! It's you I choose!"

Two flashes of white light appeared, and Ancient Suicune and the Legendary Fighting Pokémon appeared simultaneously. Their powerful auras instantly rivaled, or rather, completely overwhelmed, the opposing Groudon and Milletridon!

As Zhang Heng dispatched Bo Dang Shui and the Combo Style Martial Arts Bear Master, they prepared for the combination of Chi Hou Ba and Mi Li Long.

Suicune, suspended in mid-air, suddenly burst forth with an even more dazzling azure light!

It raised its head and let out a long, ethereal howl:

"Woo-woo-woo-!!!"

This sound seemed to connect heaven and earth!

The next moment, it was as if a huge rift had been torn open in the space above everyone's heads!

Endless, pure water energy poured down from the crack like a celestial river flowing backwards!

The sheer volume and force of the water were as if an entire ocean had been lifted up and suddenly slammed down!

Bo Dang Shui and the Combo Martial Arts Master Xiong reacted extremely quickly, instantly shielding Zhang Heng from the left and right behind him, attempting to block the attack.

But the water flow was too wide, too large, and too fast! There was simply no way to escape!

“Crash!!!!”

In just a moment, Zhang Heng, Bo Dangshui, Wudao Xiongshi, along with Chihouba and Mililong on the opposite side, were all completely swallowed up by this vast and boundless water flow!

However, the anticipated suffocation and impact did not occur immediately. The water did not disperse, but rather in a way that defied the laws of physics.

It rapidly condensed and contracted, forming an enormous, sealed cylindrical space entirely composed of water, with a diameter equivalent to half a football field!

Zhang Heng was astonished to find himself standing right in the center of this cylindrical body of water. He instinctively held his breath, but then realized that he didn't feel the slightest bit suffocated!

This water doesn't seem to be water in the true physical sense, but rather a peculiar entity formed from the purest water-based energy.

They envelop the body, yet strangely allow for the existence of "breathing"—or rather, they are a manifestation of pure water-based energy.

He was about to give commands to the Pokémon when he tentatively opened his mouth—

"Gululu..."

The originally gentle energy water seemed to have been activated with some kind of property, suddenly becoming like real water, rushing wildly into his mouth and nose!

"Well!"

Zhang Heng was shocked. He immediately shut his mouth tightly and covered his mouth and nose with his hands, feeling horrified!

Could this be... a special battleground created by Suijun? It's impossible to give commands with sound here?!

The moment this thought crossed his mind, and just as a sense of despair was about to surge forth, he suddenly remembered his abilities!

The power to control water! Telepathy!

He immediately focused his mind, trying to build a bridge in his heart through the power of water manipulation and his bond with Pokémon.

"Waves! Martial Arts Master Bear! Can you hear me?!"

Almost the instant he uttered his mental call, the Waves of Water and the Combo Martial Arts Bear Master protecting his two sides simultaneously turned around and looked at him sharply, clearly having received his thoughts!

efficient!

Zhang Heng felt a wave of relief. As long as communication was still possible, there was hope!

However, the moment he established a mental connection, the attack from the other side had already begun!

The Roaring Beast's enormous mouth suddenly opened, and an incredibly thick water gun shot out like a high-pressure water cannon!

Meanwhile, Mi Lilong, like an elegant conductor, flicked his slender tail, unleashing a more refined and faster water gun that arrived first despite being behind.

They weren't aiming at the same target, but rather each fired precisely at Bodangshui and Wudao Xiongshi! Perfect teamwork!

Zhang Heng's eyes narrowed, and he urgently ordered in his mind:

"Raging waters! Wide-area destruction! Resist!"

"Martial Arts Master Bear! Gather your Qi! Concentrate your mind!"

Specifically, it's a general status move that allows a Pokémon to enter a state where it's easier to hit a critical spot.

Zhang Heng chose this skill because of the simple skill of the Roaring Tyrant, which is a very powerful feature.

For a tank-type damage dealer, this is an excellent feature because it allows the user to attack regardless of the opponent's ability changes.

For example, when attacking, you can ignore changes in the opponent's physical defense, special defense, and evasion rate.

When defending, you can ignore changes in the opponent's special attack, physical attack, and accuracy.

In other words, you can only defeat Roaring Beast by relying on pure stats, and you can't defeat it by increasing its Special Attack and Physical Attack stats.

However, his only weakness is that he cannot withstand critical hits. Zhang Heng chose the Qi Gathering Technique, which was to give Martial Arts Bear Master a higher ability to hit vital points.

Combine this with powerful moves like the True Qi Fist to try and severely injure or even defeat the Roaring Tyrant in one blow.

Zhang Heng's tactics were clear: first, use wide-area destruction to reduce the attack power of all opponents, then have the Martial Arts Bear Master increase the critical hit rate, and target the [Plain] characteristic of the Roaring Overlord, aiming for a one-hit kill!

However, as soon as the command was given, the two Pokémon immediately began to mobilize their energy, but something strange happened!

The water rippled with the indigo light of dragon-type energy and the white light of normal-type energy that the Combo-style Martial Arts Bear Master was trying to gather.

The moment it appeared, it was like ice and snow exposed to the scorching sun, instantly neutralized, swallowed up, and disintegrated by the extremely dense, omnipresent water energy around it!

The two Pokémon abruptly stopped in their energy-gathering motion, their faces showing confusion and disbelief—their attack had failed!

"What?!"

Zhang Heng's pupils constricted sharply, his heart pounding with shock! How could this be?!

In that split second of hesitation—

"Boom! Boom!"

The two swift water guns from Chihouba and Mililong struck Bodangshui and Wudao Xiongshi squarely, respectively, as they were momentarily stunned due to the failed skill!

Although Water-type moves are not very effective against them, Champion and near-Champion level Pokémon use their STAB moves.

In addition, this unique space, with its water columns, seems to enhance water-based attacks, making its impact still considerable.

The two legendary Pokémon let out a muffled groan and swayed slightly.

Zhang Hengqiang suppressed his shock and helplessness, his mind racing.

Both Bodangshui and Wudao Xiongshi were also filled with astonishment, as they had never encountered a situation where they could not use their skills in this environment.

Skill failed... Water-based skills are the only option... This space...

Zhang Heng suddenly looked up and surveyed the enormous water prison arena, which was made entirely of pure water energy. He then recalled the Water Lord's words, "Using only the power of water!"

A bold and unbelievable conjecture came to his mind.

Could it be in this special battlefield composed of the will of the Water Lord and the primal energy of the water element?

Aside from water-based energy, all other elemental energies will be completely suppressed or even nullified?!

This is not to prohibit the use of other skills, but rather that the "rules" of this space fundamentally do not allow the existence and condensation of energy of other attributes!

Suicune's trials were far more absolute and demanding than he had imagined!

"Damn, if all I can do is use water-based moves, then..."
