People in the Elf: God rewards hard work and I become stronger at the speed of light Chapter 100

“Your clan’s territory?”

Upon hearing this, Ho-Oh was amused and angered, “Don’t say that these two areas in Kanto have been under my jurisdiction since ancient times. Even other regions, as long as they are within the stratosphere of the Pokémon world, are all under my divine authority!”

“You should know, little girl of the Rayquaza clan…”

“So.”

“Am I to assume you are seeking provocation?!”

As Ho-Oh spoke, a layer of flames shimmering with iridescent light emerged from its body.

Although it was just a thin layer.

Like a halo.

But as this layer of iridescent flames rose, the terrifying high temperature immediately made the air around Ho-Oh sticky, and space itself became a distorted sight.

A terrifying scene accompanied by gradually overflowing aura.

It proved that this top-tier legendary Pokémon of the Kanto region was not joking!

“Heh!”

The jet-black divine dragon coiled its body, completely crawling out of the clouds. Under the mutual contrast of bright yellow patterns and crimson rhombuses, it exuded an aura of dominance!

At this moment, this Shiny Rayquaza, with its black skin different from its kin, heard Ho-Oh’s final warning.

On its face,

A wanton smile suddenly appeared.

“Provocation… provocation… provocation…”

Unlike Ho-Oh, the black Rayquaza’s voice was stern yet clear as it repeated these two words, the curve of its mouth becoming more and more pronounced.

“Indeed!”

After a moment, it suddenly tilted its head back. Its voice, as still as a calm lake, revealed an undeniable burning fighting spirit: “I admit, I did intend to provoke… but I have no ill will. I’ve simply had a breakthrough and want to see the gap between myself and a top-tier legendary…”

“……” Ho-Oh remained silent, its expression gradually darkening.

Crackling—

Like burnt dry wood, the atmosphere seemed to ignite, and wisps of white smoke rose out of thin air…

“You had a breakthrough and came looking for me? Good! Very good! Do you think my strength has greatly diminished after separating so many ‘phantoms,’ and you want to use me as a soft target?”

“Then I’ll tell you, your wishful thinking is wrong!”

Ho-Oh’s voice, angered to the point of laughter, echoed through the sky. Originally, it didn’t intend to make a big fuss, only planning to force it back.

But this little girl of the Rayquaza clan was so ungrateful!

Did it mistake its retreat for cowardice?

Then…

Fine!

Let it be as you wish!

“Chuuuuuuu!!!”

As a sharp cry, like a piercing through clouds and splitting rocks, suddenly rose, the layers of colorful flowing flames wrapped around Ho-Oh’s body instantly burst forth with light!

And then…

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh… Whoosh!

In the sky.

Countless golden flowing flames suddenly surged from all directions, transforming into streaks of light that crossed the long sky and completely merged into Ho-Oh’s body.

In an instant, the golden phoenix, radiating golden light all over its body, as if cast from gold, surged in power, and illusory law phantoms subtly appeared behind it!

This was the sign of Ho-Oh going all out!

And immediately after.

The golden Ho-Oh, wrapped in layers of iridescent flowing flames and surrounded by rising azure energy flames, tore through the sky and fiercely sped towards the black Rayquaza!

Sacred Fire + Sky Attack!

“Roar!!!”

The black Rayquaza, seeing this, was not surprised but delighted. Its dragon body coiled like a long rope, layers of blood-like red light climbed up, and under the rendering of layers of green light, bright yellow ribbons immediately unfurled…

The next second.

Its suddenly straightened body was like an arrow, shooting straight towards Ho-Oh!

Outrage!

Draco Meteor!

Boom—

Sky Attack and Draco Meteor clashed head-on. After a brief stalemate, they instantly exploded!

Clouds reversed.

The atmosphere roared!

In an instant.

The dazzling and terrifying energy fluctuations shocked almost half of the Kanto region!

……

……

Saffron City!

“So that’s how it is…”

Bai Ze, deep within the VIP training field, gazed into the distant sky, a flicker of understanding passing through his eyes.

He had naturally seen the golden streams of light that stretched across the sky earlier.

And.

After he inexplicably activated the power of Bai Ze.

He actually managed to detect the data panel of this thing—

[Species: Ho-Oh (Phantom)]

[Attribute: Fire/Flying]

[Ability: Pressure/Regenerator (Hidden Ability)]

[Level: Peak-tier Legendary (Level 118, 99/100)]

[Combat Power: Low-tier Legendary]

[Exclusive Skill: Sacred Fire]

[Skills: (omitted)…]

[Authority: Airflow (Incomplete, partial only)]

[Status: Spirit Body]

[Description: A top-tier legendary Pokémon that presides over destiny and controls atmospheric currents. One of Ho-Oh’s separated phantoms, responsible for regulating the atmospheric balance within the sea area west of Sinnoh.]

……

This was a completely different attribute panel from the one he had previously detected for Ho-Oh!

The potential column on the panel was gone;

The six-dimensional column was also gone;

There was no law comprehension column either;

But a combat power column was added;

The authority was also limited to ‘airflow,’ and it was incomplete.

As for the status, it directly indicated its ‘spirit body’ essence!

This was Ho-Oh’s phantom!

It was also a part of its power!

Bai Ze finally understood the meaning of the ‘main body’ annotation for Ho-Oh before, and also understood why Ho-Oh’s main body’s power was incomplete…

There were easily over a hundred of those streams of light before, weren’t there?

Each one.

Was a ‘phantom’!

And how much weakening would it incur to differentiate so many ‘phantoms’?

Bai Ze did not know.

But since the differentiated ‘phantoms’ bore the heavy responsibility of balancing the atmosphere, what reason would Ho-Oh have to recall all its ‘phantoms’?

Could it be…

“Has Ho-Oh encountered a strong enemy?!”

This thought flashed through Bai Ze’s mind.

And the next moment.

As if to prove his guess.

A resounding shock and almost solidified energy waves surged from the heavens!

“It really is!”

Bai Ze’s pupils sharply contracted.

Before, it was just a guess, but now, he was seventy to eighty percent sure that some strong enemy had probably entered the Kanto region and clashed with Ho-Oh!

“Who could it be?”

“There are only a few top-tier legendary Pokémon that can contend with Ho-Oh, and excluding those that can’t fly, there are even fewer…”

“Dialga?”

“Palkia?”

“Rayquaza?”

“Zekrom?”

“Reshiram?”

“Or…”

Bai Ze brainstormed, guessing. After a moment, he reined in his thoughts and shook his head, saying, “Forget it, it’s not my business anyway. The Kanto League should be the one with the headache…”

“Bai Ze, don’t worry, I’ll become that strong someday too!”

Kirlia, beside him, also spoke up to comfort him.

Then.

She raised her slender left arm, and as she gently swayed it, the chain on her wrist slowly glowed, “How does it look? Is it pretty?”

“Of course! It’s beautiful…”

Bai Ze answered cleanly, his gaze filled with admiration.

The already delicate and lovely Kirlia, paired with the Psychic bracelet he had prepared, shone even more brilliantly when they complemented each other.

Moreover.

After Bai Ze’s forging, not only did it retain the Psychic Orb’s inherent ability to amplify Psychic-type moves, nourish and strengthen mental power, and enhance the perception and comprehension of Psychic-type law factors.

It also transformed from a passive contact item into a controllable, operative amplification item.

Kirlia could not only directly draw upon and utilize the power of the ‘Psychic Orb’ embedded in the bracelet.

She could also selectively cut off parts, or even all, of the ‘Psychic Orb’s’ influential abilities.

Use it when she wants, use whichever part she wants, and if she doesn’t want to use it, she can remain completely unaffected!

It could be said.

The ‘flaw’ of the ‘Psychic Orb,’ which wasn’t really a flaw, had been completely eliminated in a fundamental way.

“Thank you~”

Kirlia smiled shyly, bringing her hands to her chest. Then, she suddenly reached forward, and a gentle touch immediately came from Bai Ze’s face.

“This…”

Bai Ze was a little stunned.

Looking at the little girl in front of him, who was shy but whose gaze did not waver at all, he was at a loss for words.

And at this moment.

The single-shoulder backpack he always carried close to him suddenly emitted streaks of white light.

“This is it!”

Bai Ze’s eyes lit up.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he quickly unzipped his backpack and took out the incubation device containing the Shiny Beldum Egg!

Sure enough, the Shiny Beldum Egg inside the incubation device had completely turned into a glowing body.

It looked like,

It was about to hatch at this very moment!
