Chapter 330: Evolution! Swift Dragon! Reigniting the Dragon King's Glory!
Bang!!
The Swift Dragon's fist was blocked by the Hack Dragon's swiftly drawn tail.
A dull sound reverberated.
"Hoo~"
Feeling the power transmitted through the Hack Dragon's tail, a hint of surprise flashed in the Swift Dragon's eyes.
Not bad at all.
"Roar~"
The Hack Dragon let out a low growl, showing no surprise at the Swift Dragon's sudden attack, which seemed to come out of nowhere.
In fact, as they collided, it also clearly sensed its own progress.
During its time as a Minidragon in the Dragon Holy Land, it idolized the Swift Dragon, its father, who roamed freely and was invincible against any enemy or opponent.
The Swift Dragon was the guardian of the Dragon Holy Land.
And so, the Minidragon back then also aspired to become like the Swift Dragon.
However, no matter how hard it tried, it only received a light pat on the head from the Swift Dragon.
It seemed that in the Swift Dragon's eyes, it would always be an immature child, unworthy of challenging him.
But now, returning to the Dragon Holy Land, it was greeted by the Swift Dragon's fist.
In the Hack Dragon's eyes, it finally felt like it had earned the right to spar with the Swift Dragon.
"Roar~!"
The Hack Dragon let out a spirited cry.
"What's this?" Jinghe, standing nearby, couldn't help but ask upon witnessing this scene.
"Tradition," Xiaochun replied, using only two words.
Why are the Dragon Pokemon in the Dragon Holy Land so strong?
It's all about fighting.
Jinghe was taken aback.
Tradition?
So, the tradition of the Dragon Family is for fathers to beat up their sons? Is that why Ado often beats you up, Nezi?
To him, it seemed more like a father testing his son's progress after a long time away from home.
"If that's the case, it's much easier to understand."
Jinghe sensed the intense fighting spirit emanating from the Hack Dragon.
"Roar!"
The Swift Dragon suddenly roared, its eyes turning fierce. The seemingly small wings on its back trembled, stirring up streams of milky white air currents.
Its aura intensified, matching its rising posture, as it continued to ascend wildly.
Dragon Dance! It's getting serious!
Jinghe's heart tightened, and just as he was about to speak, Xiaochun hurriedly said, "Don't interfere! Stay out of it!"
At the same time, the Hack Dragon's short white wings beside its head rapidly expanded, and as it waved them, they too created air currents, propelling it upwards with an even more agile posture, chasing after the Swift Dragon above.
Dragon Dance again!
The two dragons spiraled upwards, and the bright sunlight projected their silhouettes onto the ground.
The commotion attracted the attention of the young Pokemon in the Dragon Holy Land, who paused and looked up.
"Roar~!"
The Hack Dragon cried out again, its body glowing with bright white light. With incredible speed, like an arrow, it shot towards the Swift Dragon.
Speed Boost!
The Swift Dragon's eyes were serious, but its face showed a hint of mockery.
With a flap of its wings, it too was enveloped in a layer of white light. After a brief pause in mid-air, it charged towards the Hack Dragon without hesitation.
Speed Boost as well!
Bang!!
The two dragons collided head-on, unleashing a rolling thunder that scattered white waves.
The trees and leaves in the Holy Land rustled, creating a rustling sound.
The lush green grass below was pressed down, forming ripples.
"Roar~!"
The Hack Dragon cried out in pain, its body flying backwards, and it began to tumble uncontrollably in the air.
The Swift Dragon hovered in place, watching the Hack Dragon fly away, and nodded slightly, but its actions didn't stop.
"Roar—!"
Bear!!
The Swift Dragon suddenly donned a blue-violet dragon cloak and roared as it pursued the falling Hack Dragon.
With incredible speed and an intimidating aura, it unleashed a series of sonic booms, piercing the sky.
Dragon Dive!
The Hack Dragon, sensing the approaching Swift Dragon, was startled and desperately flapped its wings to stabilize its body.
Soon, a dragon cloak appeared on its body, and it bravely faced the Swift Dragon again.
But at this moment, Jinghe couldn't hold back.
"Hack Dragon, use Speed Boost to dodge!" he shouted.
Hearing Jinghe's voice, the Hack Dragon didn't hesitate. The Dragon Dive cloak on its body instantly disappeared, and it transformed into a streak of white light, dodging the Swift Dragon's Dragon Dive.
Boom!!
The Swift Dragon slammed heavily into the ground, creating a loud rumble.
The Hack Dragon also flew back to Jinghe's side.
Thud! Jinghe, annoyed, tapped the Hack Dragon's head and said, "You've forgotten everything I taught you. What's the point of matching moves with the Swift Dragon? Its ability is Multiscale."
"Roar~"
The Hack Dragon retracted its head and gave an embarrassed smile.
It was a bit excited and forgot.
Jinghe: "..."
The Swift Dragon slowly stepped out of the crater, its gaze sweeping over Jinghe and the Hack Dragon.
It nodded slightly.
Since it's like this, you two can come together!
"You..."
Xiaochun, standing nearby, wanted to say something, but the Dragon Elder had somehow appeared beside her and stopped her with a smiling gesture.
"Elder?"
The Dragon Elder gestured for her to continue watching.
Jinghe and the Hack Dragon exchanged a glance, understanding each other without words.
Then, Jinghe looked at the Swift Dragon, and their eyes met.
The Swift Dragon's gaze seemed to say, "Let's see how much you've improved!"
"Roar!"
The Swift Dragon roared, and a stream of scorching dragon breath erupted from its mouth.
You want to see our progress?
Jinghe clenched his fist and shouted, "Dragon Dance!"
"Roar~!"
The Hack Dragon flapped its wings again, its body soaring upwards with an extremely tricky maneuver, almost brushing the edge of the dragon breath.
A hint of surprise flashed in the Swift Dragon's eyes, but it flapped its wings again and pursued.
"Speed Boost, fly up!"
The Hack Dragon's body was enveloped in air currents, and as they layered around it, its speed continued to increase.
From a distance, the Hack Dragon resembled a white arrow swiftly dancing in the sky.
The Swift Dragon, seeing that it couldn't catch up, prepared to use Speed Boost as well.
But at that moment—
"Speed Boost, send it back!"
The Hack Dragon abruptly turned its head and spun around. In a situation where the Swift Dragon couldn't predict its move, a white light flashed past its side.
Bang!!
With the speed boost from two Dragon Dances, the Speed Boost, and on top of that, Speed Boost—this was no longer just a Speed Boost move, but an exchange of speed for power!
The Swift Dragon stumbled in mid-air.
It's getting interesting.
A hint of a smile appeared on Swift Dragon's face.
But the next second, it turned even more serious.
"Wuu!"
In an instant, a terrifying crimson aura emerged from Swift Dragon, and its eyes gradually filled with bloodshot veins.
"Reverse Scale, open!"
However, Swift Dragon's consciousness wasn't affected by the negative effects of Reverse Scale. Instead, it harnessed the terrifying power of Reverse Scale and charged towards Hachubo once again.
Seeing this, Jinghe's eyes narrowed slightly.
Wow! You can control Reverse Scale, huh? Cheater!
In the blink of an eye, Swift Dragon closed in on Hachubo.
"Defend!" Jinghe shouted.
Bang!!
The emerald barrier shattered instantly, and Hachubo fell to the ground like a cannonball.
"Hoo-wu!"
Hachubo dispersed the dust that had risen.
Pa-ta—
Swift Dragon landed, its body still enveloped in red light.
It nodded towards Jinghe and Hachubo.
Not bad, that's enough.
Hachubo's progress had impressed it.
"Hoo-wu!"
But Hachubo, always competitive, wasn't ready to give up. It let out a spirited roar towards Swift Dragon.
In this state, Swift Dragon was like an unstoppable force.
Jinghe felt a bit helpless in his heart.
But when he saw the determination in Hachubo's eyes and sensed its unwillingness to back down, he had no choice but to abandon the idea of not fighting.
At the very least, Hachubo would only be satisfied if it could withstand Swift Dragon's full-power attack head-on.
In this situation, there was no other option.
"Hachubo!" Jinghe called out.
"Hoo-wu!"
Hachubo looked at Jinghe.
Their gazes met, and in that moment, their hearts resonated.
Jinghe nodded slightly.
"Hoo-wu!"
Hachubo grinned.
Ever since it followed Jinghe from this place, it no longer had to face things alone!
Vroom—
Suddenly, a dazzling white light burst forth from Hachubo's body.
"What's this?"
Xiaochun was startled, "Evolution Light?!"
Jinghe's Poke Balls at his waist opened one after another, and the little Pokemon appeared one by one.
Seeing Hachubo enveloped in white light, they were excited.
"Hengga!"
Go, Hachubo! Dragon King, it's your year! This year, it's our turn!!
Restore the glory of the Dragon King, we can't back down! Bang!!
The evolution light instantly dissipated, and amidst the twinkling starlike crystals, Swift Dragon's tall and sturdy orange body stood, brimming with soaring battle intent.
Hachubo evolved, Swift Dragon!! BGM plays!
"Wuu!"
Swift Dragon spread its arms and wings, roaring at the opposing Swift Dragon.
A terrifying aura surged from it.
The opposing Swift Dragon, upon witnessing this, couldn't help but reveal a hint of astonishment in its eyes.
Immediately, its battle intent soared.
Good! Good! Good!
Come on!!
The crimson aura rose again.
"What a terrifying aura and determination." The Dragon Elder murmured.
But could the evolved Swift Dragon match the Holy Land Guardian? The gap was still significant, Xiaochun thought.
However, Jinghe's command surprised her once more.
"Swift Dragon!"
Jinghe shouted sternly, "Reverse Scale!"
"Wuu!"
The evolved Swift Dragon had also mastered the Reverse Scale move!
One punch to win!
"The newly evolved Swift Dragon is using Reverse Scale?" Xiaochun's throat felt dry.
Who would use Reverse Scale right after evolving and understanding it, without fearing losing control?
Moreover, didn't they say not to clash head-on earlier?
Boom!!
The crimson cyclone also erupted from Jinghe's Swift Dragon.
Its aura became wildly ferocious!
Reverse Scale out of control?
Yes.
But Jinghe believed in Swift Dragon and himself.
Jinghe raised his arms, palms open.
Wave Guide Power, in the heart! "Swift Dragon, calm down! Think of something happy!"
Jinghe's voice echoed in Swift Dragon's mind.
"Think about last night, when Gramps's ramen had no seasoning packets!"
Gramps: "???"
"Wuuuu!"
At the same time.
The opposing Swift Dragon clenched its fist and charged.
"Wuu!"
Jinghe's Swift Dragon shook its head vigorously, its aura still fierce and its expression distorted. But deep in its eyes, amidst the struggle, a moment of clarity returned.
Reverse Scale, show me your power!!
With the feedback from Wave Guide Power, a mischievous smile appeared on Jinghe's face.
Indeed, even after evolving, there was still a gap in strength between the two Swift Dragons.
And even with the controllable Reverse Scale, Jinghe's Swift Dragon was undoubtedly inferior to the Holy Land's Swift Dragon.
But Jinghe's Swift Dragon also had its advantages.
With two Dragon Dances and high-speed movement, such speed and strength boosts, if not utilized, would likely result in defeat.
So...
"Swift Dragon, Speed Boost!"
Crimson cyclones swirled around Jinghe's Swift Dragon, transforming it into a sharp arrow.
On its body, a piece of emerald green shard shimmered with ripples.
In an instant.
The two Swift Dragons clashed head-on.
Fist against fist, aura against aura, gaze against gaze. Bang!!
Boom!!!
A terrifying shockwave reverberated, shattering the ground, and rocks flew in all directions.
"Wuu"
The Swift Dragon from the Dragon Holy Land staggered and flew back, landing in the dust.
Alongside it, Jinghe's Swift Dragon also landed and stood firm.
They exchanged a glance and flapped their wings.
The dust dispersed!
This punch.
Connected!
The red light faded from the Dragon Holy Land's Swift Dragon.
At this point, it was extremely satisfied.
Very good!
This was its evaluation of its child.
After the red light faded from Jinghe's Swift Dragon, the ferocity in its eyes vanished, and it plopped down on the ground, its condition visibly weakened.
"Wuu~~"
It blew on its palm and then looked at Jinghe, its hand red and pitiful.
Look.
Swollen.
Jinghe couldn't help but laugh.
It was your own determination to fight head-on.
But...
"Well done, Swift Dragon."
