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

"I am healing you. The battle is over."

His voice seemed to have a strange soothing effect, combined with the gradually increasing, reassuring aura emanating from him.

Sidora's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and it gave Zhang Heng a deep look.

Finally, she closed her eyes resignedly, no longer resisting.

Zhang Heng carefully cleaned its wounds and sprayed it with medicine to promote healing and relieve pain.

As he worked on the small crater in Sidson's skull caused by the massive ball and the widening cracks around it, an expression of embarrassment and guilt crept onto his face.

"Uh... here,"

He pointed somewhat embarrassedly to the small pit.

"I'm so sorry, I accidentally dropped it... I'll definitely try to find some of the best alloys or special metals to repair it for you later."

"Have you heard of Regischiru? I can repair the steel on that thing for you, and I guarantee it'll be even stronger than before!"

Although Sidson had his eyes closed, he couldn't help but exhale two hot, helpless breaths from his nostrils.

With a "whoosh," it expressed its speechless frustration.

It's one thing to lose the battle and be captured, but to have your skull broken by your own Poké Ball while you're unconscious? Who can you complain to?

After the treatment was completed, Zhang Heng looked at Sidran, whose breathing had stabilized considerably, and formally extended an invitation:

“Sidoran, your strength and resilience have earned my respect.”

"Would you like to become my partner, travel with me, see a wider world, and face greater challenges?"

Upon hearing this, Sidora slowly opened her eyes, her molten gold pupils meeting Zhang Heng's gaze.

After a moment of silence, a rough, deep, and ethereal voice resounded directly in Zhang Heng's mind—this was a spiritual communication that transcended language!

"Human... you are indeed somewhat special. But to truly win my loyalty, defeating me alone is not enough!"

"I will defeat 'it'! If you can help me defeat 'it', I will willingly serve you as my Lord and walk with you!"

"It?!" Zhang Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked, "Who is it?"

"Deeper still within this secret realm, another being slumbers!"

Sidora's voice was filled with suppressed anger and resentment.

"Its power has been suppressing me, stealing the primordial fire energy of this secret realm, preventing me from fully unleashing my strength and hindering my breakthrough! If it weren't for this, how could I..."

Zhang Heng suddenly realized! That's it! When checking Heatran's attribute panel, the aptitude column clearly stated "Suppressed"!

Moreover, the aptitude locator had previously scanned the attribute panels of two divine beasts in this secret realm!

"So that's how it is! It was because another fire-type divine beast suppressed Heatran that its strength was limited, which allowed me to find an opportunity to subdue it... No wonder it was so resentful!" Zhang Heng realized the key.

Just as he was about to ask Seadraon for more details about the other divine beast, such as its species, abilities, and habitat—

"Thump—!!!!!"

A heavy, muffled sound, like a giant battering ram slamming into the spatial barrier, exploded without warning and deafeningly above this divine beast space!

The entire space shook violently, and rubble fell from the rock walls!

Zhang Heng looked up abruptly and saw that the "sky" above them, made of solidified lava, was now covered with countless terrifying, spiderweb-like cracks, as if it had been struck by a heavy object!

At the center of the crack, there was even a section of rock wall that was noticeably sunken and twisted, as if it would shatter completely at any moment!

This is absolutely not a natural phenomenon! This is an extremely provocative attack!

Zhang Heng and his group had only entered this secret realm, but the purpose of this attack was to forcibly destroy and break through Xidoran's divine beast secret realm from the outside!

Then, before anyone could react—

"Sizzle—!!!"

A condensed, solid, pure white, and intensely hot high-pressure steam beam, like the breath of death, emerged from the center of the shattering spatial rift.

It shot with perfect accuracy toward Sidora, who had just finished treatment and was completely unprepared, and Zhang Heng, who was standing right next to it!

The speed was incredible! Even before the attack arrived, the terrifyingly high temperature it contained distorted the air!

"Here!"

The Master-level Kingdra, who remained highly vigilant, reacted the fastest!

It roared, and a massive amount of dragon energy instantly condensed in its mouth. A blue, ferocious, roaring dragon-shaped shockwave—Dragon Wave—rushed head-on towards the pure white steam!

However, a horrifying scene unfolded!

The seemingly indestructible indigo dragon was instantly vaporized and melted away the moment it came into contact with the pure white steam beam, just like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun!

The steam beam continued its relentless advance, easily piercing through and disintegrating the entire Dragon's Wave, and continued to bombard its target!

The Combo-Style Martial Arts Master Xiong remained by Zhang Heng's side, his Titanium Crystallization state still intact.

Faced with this sudden and terrifying attack, the fist-shaped titanium crystal crown on its head once again burst forth with dazzling light!

"Ow!"

It roared and leaped into the air, concentrating the remaining fighting energy and titanium crystal power in its right fist.

He once again unleashed a powerful and unparalleled punch of true qi, attempting to intercept the steam beam just as he had previously dispersed the lava storm!

"boom!"

The transparent fist energy of the True Qi Fist collided violently with the pure white steam beam!

But this time, the result was completely different!

The anticipated scenario of the steam beam being dissipated by vibration did not occur!

The pure white steam seemed to contain some kind of more terrifying and condensed energy level. Despite the immense power of the True Qi Fist, it forcefully pierced through and shattered it!

"puff--!"

The residual force of the steam beam struck the chest of the martial arts bear master, who was suspended in mid-air with nowhere to grab hold of!

"Ugh—!"

Martial Arts Master Xiong let out a painful scream, his entire body feeling as if he had been hit head-on by a high-speed train.

It flew backward at a faster speed than it had during ascent, finally crashing heavily into the distant rock wall and embedding itself in it!

What's even more alarming is that after taking this blow, the brilliant crystalline light around Martial Arts Bear Master instantly became flickering, like a candle in the wind!

“Crack…Crack…”

A series of rapid, crisp sounds, like crystal shattering, rang out!

Its crystalline titanium energy shell could no longer be maintained and shattered into countless shimmering points of light, quickly dissipating into the air!

The crystallization state of titanium has been forcibly broken!

The martial arts master's aura instantly weakened to the extreme. He slid off the rock wall, knelt on one knee, barely managing to stay upright, but he had clearly lost most of his fighting ability.

All this happened in a flash!

From the moment the space was attacked to the moment the Thorn Dragon King and the Martial Arts Bear Master were easily defeated, it only took a few seconds!

Zhang Heng's heart sank to the bottom. He suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on the broken spatial rift above his head.

Behind the billowing smoke and lingering scorching steam, a majestic, enormous figure, engulfed in crimson flames that seemed capable of incinerating everything, appeared.

Slowly, with an unparalleled sense of oppression, it descended upon the broken entrance...
