Chapter 616: Fairy Eevee vs. Zekrom!
Chapter 616: Fairy Eevee vs. Zekrom!
"Bii...?"
Fairy Eevee was taken aback by Zekrom's reaction.
Could the truth be different from what it had assumed?
Zekrom exuded a chilling aura, advancing step by step, its eyes fixed on Fairy Eevee. It asked again, "I've never eaten humans, nor have I been to their towns. Who told you those stories?"
Shizuru quickly stepped forward and answered for Fairy Eevee, "Those are legends passed down in the human world. Haven't you heard of them?"
"Legends?" Zekrom was slightly startled.
Shizuru nodded, "Yes, they are widely spread in the human world, but the truth is uncertain. These messages are legends, and many people have heard of this legend. I think... there might be some misunderstandings."
Zekrom fell silent.
"Bii...?" Fairy Eevee realized it might have misunderstood something, and it cautiously asked.
Are the records in the legends true? Being stared at by a Pokemon like this, Zekrom felt a little embarrassed. It replied, "Of course not. I've never eaten children, nor would I eat humans. For me, the natural energy in this world is my sustenance, and I don't need to eat anything else."
"So, there really are some misunderstandings?" Shizuru asked.
"Of course," Zekrom answered without hesitation.
It didn't want to continue this conversation, so it turned its gaze to Fairy Eevee and asked, "I'm not an evil dragon, but even so, do you still want to challenge me?"
"Bii..." Fairy Eevee hesitated.
If this Pokemon wasn't the evil dragon, then even if it defeated it, it couldn't become a hero, right?
Because the legends recorded that only by defeating the evil dragon could Fairy Eevee become a hero.
Zekrom understood its intention.
Its massive body slowly turned around, presenting its rear to Fairy Eevee, and then it lifted its foot and started walking towards the dark cave from where it had come.
"Since that's the case, then leave this place!"
Fairy Eevee was still hesitant.
Shizuru looked at Zekrom's back and said, "It's not necessary to defeat the evil dragon to become a hero. What's important is having the heart to become one."
"Bii?" Fairy Eevee was slightly taken aback.
Shizuru continued, "You've been training hard for today for a long time. Why don't you spar with Zekrom? It'll be a conclusion to your cultivation over the past year. How about it?"
"Bii!" Upon hearing this, Fairy Eevee made up its mind. It looked at Zekrom's back and once again loudly challenged it, "Bii!" (Mr. Evil Dragon, please have a battle with me!)
Zekrom's body paused, and it suddenly turned around, looking down at Fairy Eevee with its pupil-less eyes.
Fairy Eevee realized its mistake and quickly corrected itself, "Bii!" (Oh no, not Mr. Evil Dragon, it's Mr. Zekrom!)
Zekrom didn't mind the title and asked, "A battle with me must have an outcome. If you run away out of fear, no matter where you go, I will find you, until the battle ends. Even so, do you still want to continue?"
Shizuru: "..."
Zekrom, Gogoat, and Ultra Dream weren't there, were they? But this was Fairy Eevee's test, so he didn't speak up rashly.
Fairy Eevee concentrated and pondered, then nodded seriously, "Bii!"
Zekrom snorted coldly, "Then prove your courage to me!"
The geometric snowflakes swirling in the air enveloped the entire ice arena, and Zekrom erupted with terrifying ice energy, sweeping towards Fairy Eevee like an overwhelming force.
The battle officially began!
Zekrom started with Frost Beam, summoning a chilling energy beam from its mouth, which instantly struck towards Fairy Eevee.
Fairy Eevee's eyes locked onto the Frost Beam, its gaze filled with confidence and determination.
It had seen this move countless times from Frostbird.
Now was the time!
Fairy Eevee's hind legs suddenly exerted force, and in the next moment, it leaped off the ice surface, dodging the Frost Beam by twisting its body.
As it landed, Fairy Eevee didn't stop but instead started running swiftly around the ice arena.
As it ran, a pale pink glow erupted from its body, making it seem like a tiny pink sprite dashing gracefully across the snowy ground.
The energy surged out, and in an instant, the surroundings were enveloped in a pale pink mist.
Mist Burst!
"Bii!" Shizuru had taught it to seize the field before the battle began.
Zekrom snorted, and its mouth emitted a series of dragon roars. The Frost Beam instantly took shape, sweeping horizontally behind Fairy Eevee like a laser.
Fairy Eevee accelerated, and as it turned a corner, it abruptly changed direction and ran towards Zekrom.
Its body erupted with a dazzling pink glow, which converged into a straight line and shot towards Zekrom.
"Magic Shine," Shizuru muttered the name of the move in his mind.
Zekrom was hit, and even the strongest dragon Pokemon couldn't help but feel pain when facing Magic Shine.
"Hmph, not bad."
Zekrom changed its strategy, swinging its Shadow Claw to intercept Fairy Eevee, which was running towards it.
The next second, the dragon and Eevee collided, and the impact of Shadow Claw sent Fairy Eevee flying, causing it to fall onto the ice surface.
Zekrom's massive body followed closely behind, leaping high into the air, its mouth emitting intense dragon waves aimed at where Fairy Eevee had fallen, pursuing it.
But the next moment, an unexpected scene unfolded.
As the Dragon Aura made contact with Fairy Eevee, it strangely dispersed to both sides, leaving the Fairy Eevee in the center unharmed.
Zekrom was momentarily stunned by this sight.
Was the Dragon-type move ineffective?
Taking advantage of Zekrom's momentary distraction, Fairy Eevee quickly regained its composure.
Shizuru had told it to use a specific move when hit by an opponent's attack.
Fairy Eevee sprinted, its body enveloped in a white light.
"You want to test strength with me? You're out of your league!" Zekrom snorted coldly, once again brandishing its Shadow Claw.
However, at a critical moment, Fairy Eevee leaped high, causing the Shadow Claw to graze the ground and miss.
The white light on Fairy Eevee's body reached its limit, causing it to hesitate for a moment before sticking to Zekrom's cheek.
Zekrom was stunned again, but the next second, as it felt its energy being absorbed, it fiercely swung its Dragon Claw, sending Fairy Eevee flying.
A pitch-black light erupted from its body, and as the light enveloped it, Zekrom's form rapidly transformed.
Its upper body rose high, standing on two legs, with yellow eyes that grew dark pupils. Black dragon horns extended from its head, and its original wings retracted into its shoulders, from which a dark right wing emerged, while the left wing retained its original form.
It was... Dark Zekrom, empowered by Zekrom's strength!
Dark Zekrom flapped its dragon wings, slowly rising into the air, looking down at Fairy Eevee below.
In the next instant, its dark tail began to spin like an engine, emitting blue electricity that gathered and solidified into ice in front of it.
The blue electricity encased the ice, and the energy within seemed frozen, radiating a terrifying power as it surged towards Fairy Eevee.
Witnessing this, Shizuru's heart raced with alarm, prompting him to shout, "Danger!"
"Bii!"
Fairy Eevee looked up, witnessing the spectacle, and memories of the past flooded its mind.
Shizuru had told it that he wouldn't interfere in its battle with Zekrom, as Zekrom disliked others meddling in its fights.
Therefore, the battle would be solely between Fairy Eevee and Zekrom.
Consequently, Shizuru taught it a wealth of battle knowledge.
For instance, when hit by an opponent's move, it should use the Kiss of Absorption to restore its energy, and at the start of a battle, it should seize the field to gain an advantage.
And now, in this situation...
It was time to use that move!
Substitution!
The next second, Frost Volt engulfed Fairy Eevee's position, swallowing its tiny body.
Zekrom slowly flapped its wings, gazing down at the scene.
Facing its most powerful move, that weak Pokemon should have already fallen, right?
Hmph, while it had courage and perseverance, it was still beyond its capabilities.
To become a hero, courage and a desire to help others were not enough, Zekrom thought.
However, compared to the Keldeo from a while ago, this Fairy Eevee was already quite impressive.
At the very least, it didn't show fear or tremble before Zekrom, and its spirit was worthy of recognition.
Of course, if Zekrom knew that Fairy Eevee often faced powerful Pokemon like Frostbird, Ultra Dream, Rexilliam, Rotom, and Gogoat, it might not have had such thoughts.
Unfortunately, it was unaware.
And now, it was time to end this! Zekrom thought to itself.
Just then, a familiar cry sounded from behind it.
"Bii!"
Zekrom was momentarily startled, and as it turned around, it saw a moon appearing above the head of Fairy Eevee, who had somehow moved behind it.
A beam of moonlight shot out, instantly striking Zekrom's face.
Zekrom felt an immense force hit it, causing its body to retreat violently.
Zekrom's expression turned serious, and its massive body shattered the ice, its huge feet sinking into the ice layer. It skidded back several meters before finally stabilizing.
Its eyes shone with shock.
How could this seemingly weak Pokemon unleash such immense power?! It had underestimated its opponent!
Zekrom's expression became grave, realizing that this Pokemon's strength was several times greater than that of the previous Keldeo.
Such power deserved its full attention! A terrifying aura surged from Dark Zekrom, and with a flash of light, it reverted to its normal form from Dark Zekrom.
An invisible pressure emanated from Zekrom, and in an instant, the air temperature plummeted.
Enormous Ice Energy rapidly gathered around it.
Fairy Eevee, witnessing this, felt a hint of worry in its eyes. As a Pokemon, it could sense the formidable energy emanating from its opponent.
Even after its extensive training, it wasn't sure it could handle this.
Fairy Eevee hesitated for a moment, but recalling its arduous training over the past year, it decided that no matter what, it would spar with this Dragon Pokemon!
Fairy Eevee's fighting spirit surged, and since its opponent was using their ultimate move, it would respond with its most powerful technique!
Zekrom began to gather Ice Energy at its original position.
Fairy Eevee stood on the Mist Field, also summoning its energy.
A massive energy surge caused the pink mist in the air to tremble violently.
Witnessing this, Shizuru instantly realized that both Zekrom and Fairy Eevee were about to unleash their most powerful moves!
Fairy Eevee's most potent move was Mist Burst, but what about Zekrom... Could it be Icebound World?
On the icy ground, the pink mist deepened rapidly, and as it reached a certain intensity, it seemed to resonate with the energy within Fairy Eevee.
The next moment, a terrifying energy centered around Fairy Eevee, transforming into a hemispherical pink light sphere that swept towards all directions. The snow beneath the light sphere was devoured as it passed.
Zekrom's body did not emit a dazzling white light, and the surrounding temperature continued to drop, as if even the space around it had frozen.
In an instant, the two vastly different energies collided violently.
"Sizzle!"
The ice on the ground spread in all directions, and the geometric snowflakes hovering in mid-air flew up in panic, rising higher as if even they couldn't withstand the intense cold below.
Ultra Dream and Gogoat's expressions changed slightly.
The next second, Ultra Dream's body flickered, transforming into its Y Form. Blue light shone in its eyes, and it extended its right hand. An overwhelming psychic power instantly condensed a protective barrier in front of it, blocking out the extreme cold.
It was Zekrom's ultimate move, Icebound World! The ice spread, and in the blink of an eye, the entire mine shaft was encased in ice, resembling an ice cave.
A move with a game power of only 65 was so terrifying in reality? Shizuru couldn't help but freeze.
The dazzling white light engulfed the entire mine shaft, and Shizuru could no longer see the scene ahead, his heart worrying for Fairy Eevee.
A loud "Boom!" reverberated, and a terrifying explosion occurred.
Then, everything fell silent.
After an unknown amount of time, as the white cold air surrounding them gradually dissipated, Shizuru and his group could finally see the scene ahead.
On the icy ground, Zekrom looked exhausted, with visible injuries, and was panting heavily.
Not far in front of it, Fairy Eevee maintained the pose it had when Mist Burst was used, except its body was now completely frozen within the ice.
The battle was over! Shizuru immediately rushed forward and shouted, "Gogoat!"
"Ah, gah!" Gogoat instantly understood.
It spat out a scorching fire beam from its mouth.
The flames melted the ice, and countless white steam rose.
Shizuru took out the Life Sheep Milk from his backpack and fed it to Fairy Eevee the moment it thawed.
After a moment, Fairy Eevee slowly opened its eyes.
"Bii..."
Having just thawed, Fairy Eevee felt chilly all over and shivered from the cold.
Shizuru quickly unzipped his jacket and held Fairy Eevee close, using his body heat to warm it.
After a while, Fairy Eevee gradually warmed up, and it affectionately rubbed against Shizuru.
"Bii~"
"You did very well. In my eyes, you are now a true hero!" Shizuru praised.
Hearing this, Fairy Eevee jumped out of his embrace, and the three Pokemon turned to look at Zekrom.
Zekrom's face looked slightly cold, and its pupil-less eyes stared at the person and Pokemon before it.
A cold voice slowly sounded, mixed with a hint of excitement and fervor, "It's been a long time since a Pokemon has inflicted such an injury on me."
Clearly, the Mist Burst move had also dealt significant damage to Zekrom.
"Bii..." Fairy Eevee felt a bit embarrassed.
Zekrom unexpectedly praised it, "The you now are indeed worthy of the name of a hero."
"Bii?!" Fairy Eevee looked at it in disbelief.
Shizuru handed the Life Sheep Milk to Zekrom, "Drink this, and your injuries will recover."
Zekrom had already witnessed the effect of this item, and without refusing, it drank it and indeed regained its full strength.
"You did great," Zekrom commended.
Fairy Eevee was overjoyed, "Bii!"
Its efforts over the past year had not been in vain!
"You want to become a hero... What do you plan to do from now on?" Zekrom stared at it.
At first, Fairy Eevee was a bit lost, unsure of the answer to this question.
But soon, it thought of everyone on the World Tree and immediately replied, "Bii!"
With its newfound strength, it wanted to go to the world of Wonder Maze to rescue Pokemon in need and become a true hero! Zekrom had never heard of the World Tree or the maze.
However, it could sense the courage of this Pokemon and its desire to help others.
Zekrom slowly turned its massive body, preparing to return to the cave, leaving behind only a cold voice.
"Since that's the case, then go and do it!"
As Zekrom's figure was about to disappear into the darkness, Shizuru quickly called out, "Zekrom!"
Zekrom stopped and turned around, asking, "What else?"
"I'd like to invite you to the World Tree to live with us," Shizuru said.
He briefly introduced the World Tree to Zekrom, explaining that it was a Pokemon paradise where humans wouldn't disturb them, and many legendary Pokemon from this world now resided there.
Upon hearing this, Fairy Eevee's eyes lit up, and it eagerly agreed, "Bii!" Yes, yes!
However, Zekrom didn't answer this question. Instead, it stared at Shizuru and then said, "I sense the presence of those two on you."
Shizuru was slightly taken aback, but he quickly understood that Zekrom was referring to Rexilliam and Zekrom.
He nodded, "Yes, due to special circumstances, Rexilliam and Zekrom are also on the World Tree, but they're still in the form of Dragon Stones..."
Zekrom remained silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What is your Dao?"
