Chapter 9 - This Is The Dragon Who Grew Up With Me

Eternatus, had it always been hidden in Hammerlocke?

A look of astonishment flashed across Raihan's face, and he instantly turned to look at Oleana.

He was not stupid.

If what Ryuga said was true, then who else could have quietly hidden Eternatus?

Ryuga's eyes gleamed with malice.

He advocated power, but he would never simply use violence.

Crushing opponents with power was just the simplest and most convenient method.

Making those who were hostile to him suspect each other and even turn against each other would bring Ryuga joy from the bottom of his heart.

...

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Raihan's handsome face was overcast, his eyes fixed on Oleana.

As for Oleana, her face was even darker than water.

She was not very good at hiding her emotions.

Although she was very capable, before serving as Rose's secretary, Oleana was just a reclusive researcher.

It was just that she usually maintained a calm, or rather, expressionless face, because it made her subordinates more awestruck.

"Don't you believe it? You can ask your esteemed Ms. Oleana."

Seeing that both Raihan and Oleana were silent, Ryuga said with a faint smile.

"Raihan, I…"

Hearing this, Oleana finally couldn't help but want to say something.

After all, no matter how she explained it, the matter of Eternatus would probably not be hidden.

But Ryuga was the biggest enemy now!

Moreover, from beginning to end, Oleana did not believe that she and others were wrong.

President Rose sealed Eternatus for the future of the entire Galar.

What was wrong with that?

Just because Eternatus brought disaster to Hammerlocke now, were they wrong?

There was no such logic!

Oleana did not believe that her and Rose's starting point was wrong.

It was all Ryuga's fault!

It was he who broke into the Energy Plant and forcibly released Eternatus!

"Don't worry, Oleana, I know what to do."

Raihan took a deep breath.

From Oleana's expression, he understood that Ryuga was not talking nonsense.

Eternatus had indeed been hidden here all along, and Oleana and the others definitely had problems.

This made Raihan's mood very complicated.

"No need to sow discord. No matter what, I still trust Oleana."

Raihan turned his head and said to Ryuga in a deep voice, but he knew what was more important.

Oleana's matter could be put aside for now.

The most important thing at the moment was this Team Rocket Executive!

Oleana might have problems, but Ryuga was definitely an evil person!

"Heh ~ how boring."

Ryuga's smile slowly disappeared upon hearing this, and his amber eyes took on a dark hue.

He had thought he could watch a good show of the two of them questioning each other.

But Raihan was unexpectedly calm and rational.

"Flygon, Dragon Claw!"

Raihan's eyes narrowed, and he unhesitatingly ordered the Flygon in front of him.

He could feel that Ryuga was very dangerous!

Striking first was the strongest.

As long as Ryuga was controlled, it would be the most effortless way.

Flygon flicked its wings and charged towards Ryuga at high speed.

"Too wishful thinking."

Ryuga gave a cold smile.

It was to prevent Raihan from suddenly making a move that he had deliberately retreated earlier to maintain a distance from Raihan and Oleana.

The Poké Ball was thrown out, and a slender figure instantly appeared in front of Ryuga.

The dark shadow tore through the air and heavily struck Flygon's face!

The next second!

The high-speed Flygon, as if struck by a heavy blow, its forward-charging figure flew backward rapidly and crashed heavily into the wall!

"How is this possible!"

Raihan and Oleana's pupils constricted, and they looked back in disbelief at the Flygon deeply embedded in the wall.

Although its strength was not as good as Raihan's ace, Duraludon, Flygon was also one of Raihan's main Pokémon!

But just now, in a flash of lightning, Flygon was repelled?

"Why not? You wouldn't think I'm really inferior to you, would you?"

Ryuga unhurriedly spun the empty Poké Ball in his hand, tilting his head slightly as he looked at Raihan.

And in front of Ryuga, a remarkably elegant pink-purple Pokémon stood at this moment.

This was a snake-like Pokémon that was estimated to be four to five meters long.

Its upper body was held high, and its clear, beautiful black eyes calmly overlooked Raihan and Oleana.

Its back was a stunning pink-purple, its belly was milky white, a sharp Dragon Horn grew from its forehead, and white feathered wings were on either side of its head.

Noble, beautiful, sacred!

This was the most intuitive feeling this Pokémon gave to people!

"Shiny Dragonair!"

(Pic Here)

In an instant, Raihan, who specialized in Dragon-type Pokemon, recognized this Pokemon.

It was Dragonair, a Dragon-type Pokemon from the Kanto region, and Dragonair's final evolved form was Dragonite, the ace of Lance, the Kanto Champion!

And Dragonite was also praised with the renown of a pseudo-legendary!

Moreover, this Dragonair was a Shinny variant.

Normal Dragonair are blue, but this one was pinkish-purple!

"That's right, this is the Dragon that accompanied me as I grew up."

Ryuga shrugged, looking at Dragonair with satisfaction.

Yes, this Dragonair was his starter Pokémon.

When he hadn't been kidnapped by Ho-Oh, Dragonair was already by his side.

Even now, Dragonair was his absolute ace!

As for why Dragonair hadn't evolved into Dragonite, it was the result of a discussion between Ryuga and Dragonair.

(A/N: Shinny Dragonair is truly beautiful~ so I decided not to evolve it. Hmm, it's definitely not because Shinny Dragonite is too ugly.)

...

Pokemon evolution can be said to be the most mysterious and magical power in the Pokémon world.

And evolution not only allows a Pokémon to receive the most comprehensive improvement, but the Pokémon's characteristics and body will also undergo different changes.

The reason why Ryuga didn't let Dragonair evolve into Dragonite wasn't just because Dragonair's appearance was superior to Dragonite's.

Dragonite is known as a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, and its strength is undoubtedly powerful.

In general, the power of a Dragon-type can only be fully unleashed in its final evolved form.

But Dragonair possessed an ability that Dragonite absolutely could not compare to!

Weather control!

Yes, Dragonair possessed the power to control the weather at will.

This was Dragonair's innate racial ability.

And this power would disappear after evolving into Dragonite.

Controlling the weather at will versus a comprehensive and significant increase in evolution, which one to choose?

Most people would, of course, choose evolution, but after a long period of consideration, Ryuga had a deep conversation with Dragonair.

He always respected the choices of his Pokémon.

In the end, he decided to have Dragonair wear an Everstone!

The final evolved form, Dragonite, was certainly powerful, but the power to control the weather was equally difficult to give up.

Moreover, Ryuga was confident that the power gained from evolution could be compensated through training!

In the Pokémon world, evolution is certainly supreme because the amplification brought by evolution is indeed enormous, but it doesn't mean that not evolving prevents one from surpassing an evolved form.

(A/N: God Pikachu approved ✓)

Whether a Pokémon is strong or not always depends on the Trainer, not simply on the Pokémon itself.

After all, Pryce's Swinub was already a very clear example.

Of course, if Dragonair's weather control wasn't so tempting, Ryuga himself was still an evolutionist.

Because the boost from evolution was indeed too good.

"It's beautiful, isn't it? I think so too."

Ryuga smiled as he looked at Dragonair.

Even now, even if Dragonair hadn't evolved, it was still the ace of his team!

Yes, even Ryuga's pseudo-legendary Tyranitar could not shake Dragonair's position.

Moreover...

Shinny Dragonair's appearance was truly super high!

"Goodra!"

Without responding to Ryuga, Raihan solemnly threw out another Poké Ball.

A bipedal Goodra appeared in front of Raihan—the Kalos pseudo-legendary Goodra!

To be able to repel Flygon with one move, although it was a surprise attack, this Dragonair's power was truly astonishing!

So Raihan dared not be careless, especially since his ace Duraludon was severely injured by Eternatus and couldn't Dynamax.

To deal with Ryuga, he had to be even more cautious.

"A pseudo-legendary Dragon, then let me experience the power of the so-called 'Dragon Storm.'"

Ryuga observed the Goodra with interest, then smiled faintly with a grin.

Raihan specialized in Dragon-types and was known as the 'Dragon Storm' in the Galar region!

"I am also a Trainer who is extremely fond of Dragon-types. I truly hope Master Raihan doesn't disappoint me. If you're too weak, I'll be very regretful."

"For a guy like you to appear among Dragon-type Trainers truly makes me ashamed."

Raihan snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, completely ignoring Ryuga's last provocative words.

He was passionate about Dragons, with an extremely strong passion.

If it were normally, encountering a Trainer who also liked Dragons, his attitude would definitely be very enthusiastic.

But for the Ryuga in front of him, he really couldn't be enthusiastic.

Witnessing the disaster in the distance, despite being the instigator, he showed no sympathy or self-reproach whatsoever.

Raihan strongly disliked such a cold-blooded person to the core.

"Enough with the big talk. Should I apologize? Well, I'm truly sorry. Blame them for being unlucky."

Ryuga sneered indifferently.

He was someone who prioritized benefits.

If some sacrifices were needed to achieve his goals, he wouldn't hesitate at all.

"Moreover, being able to serve as the backdrop for Eternatus's emergence, you should feel even more honored and proud. This is..."

"The opening chapter of a legend~"

The smile on Ryuga's lips widened, and his originally handsome face was now filled with evil.

Yes, for the ceremony of Eternatus's emergence, wasn't it normal to have some background?

"Yes, I will capture Eternatus! And become a legend!"

Ryuga lifted his chin, his words filled with a faint fervor, containing strong arrogance and conceit.

"You bastard!"

Upon hearing this, Raihan was now furious to the extreme.

Yes, his arms were trembling with rage.

What did he mean by 'should feel even more proud'?

What kind of shameless and inhumane person could say such a thing?

Although there were likely no civilian casualties due to timely evacuation, this entire area had been reduced to ruins!

So many people had completely lost their homes!

(A/N: Don't worry it won't be darker pokemon novel, just destruction of building and not killing people.)

And most importantly, this person actually spoke with such a matter-of-fact tone!

"Don't dream. I will personally send you to prison!"

Raihan glared at Ryuga, who had a smile on his face, and spoke each word through gritted teeth.

He completely understood now.

This guy in front of him was pure evil!

The true goodness and beauty of humanity were completely absent in this person.

All Raihan could see was a dense, profound evil and immense ambition.

"Oh? Just you?"

Ryuga chuckled lightly, tilting his head slightly as he watched Raihan.

He wants to send him to jail, he really dares to think that.

"Goodra, Dragon Pulse!"

Without further idle chatter with Ryuga, Raihan unhesitatingly ordered Goodra.

And Flygon, which had been repelled by Dragonair earlier, had now recovered.

Goodra let out a low growl, and a green Dragon light quickly accumulated in its mouth, firing towards Dragonair.

"Let me show you what a true Dragon Pulse is." Ryuga sneered at this.

"Dragonair! Crush it!"

"Dragonair, crush it!"

Ryuga's tone was extremely sinister, sending a chill down one's spine.

"Woo~"

Dragonair let out a low cry, its slender tail glowing green as it swung heavily, the terrifying immense force even causing the air to whistle.

Dragon Tail!

Goodra's Dragon Pulse struck, heavily blasting Dragonair's Dragon Tail.

But to Raihan and Oleana's shock, there was no evenly matched struggle, no equal footing.

Dragonair's Dragon Tail directly pulverized the Dragon Pulse!

"Its power is actually this terrifying!"

Oleana's expression was grim. In this situation, it could only mean that Dragonair's power was too strong!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to so forcefully defeat Goodra's Dragon Pulse.

"Blizzard!"

Raihan instantly snapped back to reality, ordering Goodra in a deep voice.

Although he understood from the start that this Dragonair was absolutely terrifying, its recent performance had indeed shocked him too much.

But now, he absolutely couldn't lose his composure.

Even if Dragonair was strong, he wouldn't give up.

Goodra didn't hesitate at all, opening its mouth as dense cold air condensed, and a violent Blizzard swept towards Goodra.

"Dragon Pulse."

Ryuga lowered his head and chuckled.

With such a weak attack, he still wanted to arrest him for labor reform?

Dragonair directly spewed out a beam of Dragon light, and the green Dragon light collided heavily with the Blizzard.

But the next moment, the Dragon Pulse powerfully broke through the Blizzard, and its momentum unabated, it heavily struck Goodra.

Goodra cried out in pain, its entire body sent flying by the Dragon Pulse, crashing against the wall.

"Flygon, Dragon Rush!"

Raihan had no time to check on Goodra's injuries, because Dragonair had already floated up and was flying over!

Flygon flapped its wings and flew up, its body overflowing with a dense green light, instantly transforming into the shape of a fierce dragon.

Dragon Rush!

"Dragon Tail!"

Dragonair's eyes, bright like black pearls, were calm and deep.

Its slender Dragon Tail swung downwards towards the charging Flygon.

Dragon Tail vs. Dragon Rush!

Two immense forces collided heavily, and a powerful gust of wind spread out.

But the next second, Dragon Tail slammed down, and the fierce dragon-shaped aura on Flygon's body immediately dispersed, its entire body sent flying backward.

The difference in power was fully demonstrated!

Raihan clenched his fist tightly at this sight.

His handsome face was now extremely grim and pale.

His Dragon-type was actually completely inferior to this Team Rocket Executive.

Why?

"Slam."

Ryuga's voice sounded again.

Dragonair let out a soft cry, its flexible body suddenly accelerating, and at high speed, it actually caught up to the retreating Flygon!

"Flygon!"

Raihan's expression changed.

Dragonair was clearly going to pursue again.
