"Aoouu!!!"
"Aoohoo!!"
"Roar!!"
As these powerful final form Dragon Type Pokemon approached, dragon growls that shook one's soul filled the mountain range.
Fang Yuan and Yun Guancheng, situated at the foot of the mountains, also stood still.
Although Fang Yuan was confident in the strength of his own Pokemon, he was facing dozens of quasi-gods, each of whom possessed no less than professional-level combat power. It was likely that there were also a number of Dragonites, Garchomps, and Blood Wing Dragons with master-level combat power.
Even a master-level trainer would have to kneel before such a force...
As guests on Dragon Island, it was best to calmly observe what these Pokemon were up to...
"Strange..." Yun Guancheng also refrained from rash action and wasn't overly worried. Given the friendship between the Dragon Trainer lineage and the Dragon Cave, unless these Pokemon were provoked into the irrational "Neck Scale State" of rage, they wouldn't harm human trainers willingly.
Of course... beating up a trainer's Pokemon was something these Dragon Cave Pokemon enjoyed, since Dragon Island was too boring.
Bullying the visiting guests was part of their fun.
As the Dragon Type Pokemon drew nearer, Dragonites and Blood Wing Dragons danced above Fang Yuan's head, while Garchomps landed on the ground, with more than a dozen of them surrounding Fang Yuan and his company in a menacing manner.
The noisy dragon roars filled the sky and earth, causing Fang Yuan and Yun Guancheng to cover their ears.
Yun Guancheng's Blood Wing Dragon showed a cautious expression.
Meanwhile, Sun Eevee remained calm, instructing the mobile Rotom to take photos as a keepsake.
If there were any real danger, Eevee would have perceived it. In fact, despite the formidable approach of these Pokemon, Eevee didn't feel any hostility from them.
Including Fang Yuan, who noticed that although these Garchomps and Blood Wing Dragons appeared ferocious, their emotion wasn't as brutal as their appearances.
"Roaruuu!!!" At that moment, a Dragonite landed, issuing a growl.
The growl reached Fang Yuan's and Yun Guancheng's ears, and to their surprise, they could understand its meaning.
"It's a Dragonite with the spiritual power trait... The opponent has trained its mind to the level that it can perform mind induction..."
In an instant, Fang Yuan assessed the Dragonite's strength, which surely wouldn't be inferior to the different colored Gyarados or the Charizard wielding the deep blue Flame that Yun Guancheng had mentioned. It was not easy for a non-Psychic Type Pokemon to master mind induction.
Of course, it was also possible that the Dragonite was a particularly rare exception like Rocket Team's Meowth, though the likelihood was even smaller.
This Dragonite was asking if Fang Yuan and his party intended to enter and capture Pokemon.
"Yes, I want to capture the Round Land Shark leading the lineage. Please give me a chance!!!" Upon hearing this, Yun Guancheng immediately said.
He didn't dare to dream of capturing the Garchomp leading the lineage; he couldn't defeat it, so his only hope was to somehow coax the Round Land Shark. Even though it would probably be very difficult, what if it worked?
Dragon Type Pokemon had long lifespans, much longer than humans. To entrust a Dragon Type juvenile to a trainer for some time wasn't a losing deal for a Pokemon of the Dragon Cave.
If lucky, they might encounter a Dragon Type Pokemon that longed for the world outside Dragon Island, which would then greatly increase their chances.
Fang Yuan hesitated. If he had to choose among the leading lineage, which only had Dragonites, Blood Wing Dragons, and Garchomps...
"I would like to capture a Dratini or Dragonair of the leading lineage, please also give me a chance!" Fang Yuan said.
And in his mind... he added another line, Dragonite would be OK, too.
Any that knew Extreme Speed would do.
Compared to the aggressive Blood Wing Dragon and the violent Garchomp, Fang Yuan felt the simple-minded Dragonite was a better fit for his team.
Moreover, there's a saying...when a docile Pokemon is pushed too far, those with savage natures won't even have a chance to kneel and beg for mercy.
No sooner had Fang Yuan and Yun Guancheng finished speaking than a hint of malice appeared in the eyes of these Pokemon.
"Boom!!!" The Dragonite that had come forward to speak flapped its wings, indicating to Fang Yuan that they'd better find another target.
The Pokemon that lead the lineage are few, only a dozen in the entire Dragon Cave, the most important Pokemon of the cave, not something that could be casually tamed by Trainers.
In the past decade, among the Trainers who entered the Dragon Cave, only the Dragon King Yun Kui, had been acknowledged by the leading lineage and had tamed one of its Pokemon.
This was something Yun Guancheng was well aware of.
Therefore, he came with a mindset to try...without enough confidence, but since he was here, naturally he'd aim for the best.
If all else failed, he could always try to tame another Pokemon later.
As for Fang Yuan, his thoughts were similar—best to tame a leading lineage Pokemon if possible, no worries if not.
Innate potential and talent are certainly important, but so is cultivation after birth.
For instance, Blood Wing Dragons and Garchomps of the leading lineage are born with the ability to enter Neck Scale State and are skilled with Rage Energy but, with arduous training, other Blood Wing Dragons and Garchomps may be able to acquire these abilities later on, though challenging, there is still a chance.
"Awoo!!!"
"Aroo!!"
"Roar!!"
Seeing Fang Yuan and Yun Guancheng undeterred, the Pokemon let out another round of roars, their fearsome Dragon growls sending a pungent wind blasting over Fang Yuan and Yun Guancheng.
Yet the two of them...remained unmoved; they had set their sights on a leading lineage Pokemon, and although it seemed a bit overconfident, the pursuit of strong, rare Pokemon is every Trainer's instinct.
Under the threat, the expressions of Fang Yuan and Yun Guancheng turned grim...
Boom!!!
At that moment, an unparalleled wave of spiritual power was released as Sun Eevee took a step at a time up to Fang Yuan's side; the ruby on its head shimmered brightly, and the terrifying thought waves formed an Energy Shield that blocked the sound waves, with air blasts sweeping through!!
With its master-level strength, Sun Eevee's aura instantly caused a momentary pause among the Pokemon, and although there were Dragon Types among them with strength comparable to Sun Eevee's, the fact that a small cat Pokemon following Fang Yuan suddenly displayed such formidable aura shocked the Dragon Type Pokemon, leading them to regard the cloaked Fang Yuan with newfound respect.
"Roar—" Following Sun Eevee's display, Yun Guancheng's Blood Wing Dragon also showed off its own aura, proving Yun Guancheng's strength.
But, compared to the terrifying mental fluctuation Sun Eevee had just unleashed, Blood Wing Dragon's aura against the roaring of numerous Dragon Types was only so-so.
"Hey... Your Pokemon..." Yun Guancheng's fingers twitched, Fang Yuan's Sun Eevee had been merely average on the way here, displaying just professional-level skills, not even matching that of the Gengar but, the power it just exploded with took Yun Guancheng by surprise.
A joke, surely... a single thought wave dispersing all the Dragon Types' growls?
"This..." Fang Yuan acted as if he hadn't heard, this couldn't be explained—he left the other to imagine as they might...
Sun Eevee has two states, one is the normal state, and the other is the state of Gratitude, which utilizes Emotional Energy and Life Energy to power up moves, and under this state, its strength can crush a professional-level Pokemon...absolute master-level combat power.
"Awoo—" Perhaps impressed by Sun Eevee's strength, the Dragonite that had stepped forward shortly fell silent, looked around, and then nodded its head, agreeing to give Fang Yuan and Yun Guancheng an opportunity.
"Awoo!!" The Dragonite explained.
At tomorrow's Dragon Island Celebration, when thousands of dragons dance together, Fang Yuan and Yun Guancheng will be given a chance to show their worth. Not only will the leading lineage gather in Dragon Valley, but the Dragon Cave Elder will also emerge to preside over the festivities. He hoped Fang Yuan and Yun Guancheng would seize the opportunity well.
