Chereads / Pokemon: Bond Evolutions of Pokémon / Chapter 151 - 151. Dragonite

Chapter 151 - 151. Dragonite

At the end of his final Gym Battle, Ash had won an absolute victory, three to zero.

Before Ash and Clair could have time to exchange a few words, the staff of the Blackthorn City Gym suddenly knocked on the door of the battle venue.

"Miss Clair, its not well!"

Seeing how nervous he looked, it was obvious that something big had happened!

"Someone has stolen the Dragon Fang and are now escaping in the direction of the Dragon's Den!"

This Dragon Fang is a family heirloom that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Blackthorn City Gym, and they personally have witnessed the magic of this Dragon Fang with their own eyes just last night.

Ash and his group no longer cared about him getting his Badge for now and hurried over with Clair and Kaburagi. When they arrived at the lake, they saw the trio of Team Rocket driving a speedboat, with the members of the Blackthorn City Gym behind them chasing after them!

"Alright, chase them down, Gyarados, Blastoise, Feraligatr!"

"Please, Dragonair!"

Ash hugged Molly and jumped onto Gyarados' head, Misty hugged Feraligatr's neck and cheered, and Brock sat cross-legged on Blastoise's large shell like a sage!

Clair and Kaburagi were riding Dragonair, suspended in mid-air with his small wings now turned large. This Dragon-type Pokémon's was very strong, and by the time his body warmed up after the battle it had just caught in, Dragonair had already recovered more than half of its strength.

The groups Pokémon's caught up with the Blackthorn City Gym staff in one fell swoop, and it was up to them to do the rest of the chasing!

"Team Rocket, why can't you learn to stay down? Like can you not let us rest for a little?" Misty shouted angrily while riding on top of Ash's Feraligatr.

Seeing that their pursuers behind them turned from Trainer from the Gym to Ash and his group with the Blackthorn City Gym Leader, and especially the red Gyarados that they had a not so fun time with not long ago, Jessie became even more anxious and said, "James, drive faster!"

"This is already the fastest that this thing could go!" James was also helpless with this.

Suddenly Meowth's eyes lit up, "Look where it is, meow! Let's jump in, meow!"

The direction Meowth is pointing is the famous Dragon's Den!

This Dragon's Den is a complex cave that was formed when Dragon-type Pokémon caused trouble here a very long time ago. It was very eerie and terrifying inside, and this extends in all directions. As long as they can pass through it, they can reach the place where Lance and Clair used to practice when they were younger.

The Dragon's Sanctuary!

"Miss, the Dragon's Sanctuary is a paradise for all Dragon-type Pokémon. We must not let these rude people like Team Rocket run inside and cause trouble!" Kaburagi said firmly with deep experience laced in his voice.

"I know that!" Clair and everyone else quickened their pace, "Ash, the Dragon's Sanctuary we are going to is also at the end of the Dragon's Cave. The Dragon's Sanctuary is located between ten large waterfalls in the Dragon Wood!"

In her words, the Dragon's Den is a nest where the Dragon-type Pokémon breed and live, and the Dragon Sanctuary is a paradise for the younger Dragon-type Pokémon, which is very understandable.

At this moment, the Rocket Trio's boat fell from the waterfall and broke into many smaller pieces. They had arrived at the entrance of the Dragon's Sanctuary!

"Why does this always happen to us? We don't deserve this at all!"

The Trio fell from the waterfall and fell into the Dragon Sanctuary. They thought it was another tragic landing, but they were caught by a pair of generous arms.

"This is? Dragonite?" After all, they recognized the Pseudo-Legendary of the Kanto Region. After all, they had seen it several times like Ash and his group.

"Dragonite, why are you saving us, meow?"

Dragonite smiled and hummed a few times, and Meowth translated, "It says we should help each other when we are in trouble, meow!"

Dragonite has a steady personality and is very willing to help others. It is completely different from the past Dratini and Dragonair before it evolved. It has grown strong limbs and dragon wings, and has lost the slippery slime on its body.

It seems that he can help others better, so if you think about it, you will like Dragonite even more.

This Dragonite was very tall. After landing on the ground, Jessie and James had to raise their head high to see its eyes. Their height only reached Dragonite's shoulders.

"Thanks for saving us anyway, Dragonite!"

Dragonite nodded, but focused on the Dragon Fang box held by James.

"It said it smells a strong Dragon Fang, meow!" Meowth translated for the rest.

Jessie and James suddenly felt nervous, "Could this be... one of those bad situation?"

Instead, Meowth had an idea, "No, we can take advantage of this situation, Meowth!"

It took the initiative to take Dragon Fang out of the box, "Look, Dragonite! This is a Dragon Fang, yes!"

"To tell you the truth, we found this place to protect this Dragon Fang from being snatched away by those bad guys chasing us down. Do you want to help us get out of this mess, meow?"

Jessie and James also reacted and immediately pretended to be pitiful, "Those bad guys are going to attack us soon to steal this Dragon Fang. Lord Dragonite, you must help us protect this!"

"If those bad guys come here, this beautiful flower garden will also be in trouble and could get destroyed, meow!"

The guys were so showy that they actually wanted to take advantage of Dragonite's helpful personality to help them deal with Ash and the rest of his group!

But this Dragonite, who has lived for nearly a hundred years, actually believed in the words of the Rocket Trio.

Seeing it nodding in agreement, the Team Rocket Trio cheered loudly, "Those bad people are coming down, please use your strongest attack to defeat them, meow!"

At this time, Ash and his team arrived belatedly with Clair and her Dragonair. Seeing this beautiful flower garden, Molly was the happiest out of the bunch.

The Dragon Sanctuary is a beautiful valley, like a paradise. It is surrounded by mountains, and most of the land is covered with beautiful flowers, plants and trees.

Many younger Pokémon call this their home because of the stronger members protecting this place from being attacked. They could also train here to be much more powerful because of the dense energy.

It is said that due to the influence of the power of the Dragon's, flowers bloom here regardless of what the season is. Grass-type and Bug-type Pokémon live and work happily around here.

As soon as the group arrived down, they were spotted by the Rocket Trio. As they were most familiar with Ash's figure.

"Lord Dragonite, the bad people are here to take this away, please help us defeat them!"

Jessie and James said like they really meant it, Dragonite used its Hyper Beam and blasted it straight towards Ash's group!

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu reacted the fastest out of everyone, and immediately blocked the powerful looking Hyper Beam with his Thunderbolt. Ash frowned and looked at the Team Rocket members and the tall Dragonite!

"Team Rocket, why do you have a Dragonite?" Misty stood up and asked.

How could the Trio answer this? They were immersed in the joy of getting powerful help and maybe even catching Ash's pesky Pikachu.

However, Dragonite glanced at Ash and his Pikachu, and flew into the sky with the Rocket Trio in his arms.

"Are you all okay?" Clair rushed to Ash's side and saw Dragonite leaving with the members of Team Rocket, "I'm so sorry about that!"

Mr. Kaburagi apologized to everyone and explained, "To tell you the truth, that Dragonite is the Pokémon of the Gym Leader of the third previous generation Gym Leader on the Blackthorn Citg Gym. It is called the Guardian of the Sanctuary. It is a Pokémon with a very kind heart, all the Pokémon here admire him deeply."

"The previous generations of Gym Leaders dedicated their lives to protecting this sacred area. When the last generation of Gym Leaders passed away, Dragonite inherited his Trainer's legacy and has been protecting this land and guarding this place for many decades now."

"I believe that Dragonite must have been deceived by Team Rocket to attack you guys!"

Ash shook his head and just relaxed, "Although he was deceived, if this is the case, at least Dragonite will not allow that Dragon Fang to leave the Dragon Sanctuary!"

"Miss Clair... hmm?" Before Ash could finish speaking, he suddenly turned to look at the sky. He clearly felt a very familiar Aura coming towards them.

"Pika!" Pikachu also cheered up.
