People in the Elf: God rewards hard work and I become stronger at the speed of light Chapter 144

“That’s good, I look forward to seeing you again next time!”

Lugia chuckled, taking a deep look at the little fellow nestled in Bai Ze’s arms, then turned its streamlined body.

With a splash.

It plunged straight into the deep sea…

No,

Does it have to leave so decisively?

Bai Ze saw this and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

“Woohoo~?”

The little fellow in his arms finally raised its head belatedly, looking towards where Lugia had disappeared.

“Alright, little guy, from now on, you’ll be living with me for a while.”

Bai Ze held the little Lugia by its wingpits, lifting it high to distract it, while speaking softly.

“Woo~!”

Little Lugia’s eyes lit up, and it immediately broke free from Bai Ze’s hands, letting out joyful chirps as it pounced into his arms, its little legs flailing, and its head constantly rubbing against Bai Ze’s neck.

“Hahaha, don’t do that, little guy, it tickles a bit, hahahaha…”

As he spoke, Bai Ze gently pushed away the little Lugia’s head, which was acting very clingy and intimate towards him.

After playing with the little fellow for a while.

For safety, Bai Ze asked for the little fellow’s opinion and temporarily subdued it, putting it into a Poké Ball.

Then,

He thought and looked at the remaining time on the future combat power time limit card displayed on the system interface—[ 10:56]

More than ten minutes.

This time was neither short nor long.

But in the current situation, it seemed a bit awkward… because he couldn’t find anything to do with this short amount of time… Should he assist in grinding monsters for a wave?

Or,

Should I call out Beedrill and Beldum and take this opportunity to let them impart some experience?

However, just as Bai Ze was pondering.

Above the nine heavens, the clouds above his head suddenly fluctuated violently like a vortex, spinning open.

Surging, chaotic air currents formed a huge void, sweeping through. Amidst the faintly appearing azure flowing light, a slender black dragon shadow was winding its body out of the clouds. Its crimson pupils glowed faintly, quietly observing Bai Ze and the two Pokémon beside him.

Bai Ze’s heart pounded. He recognized the identity of this Pokémon with its body covered in scabbed scars!

This was…

That black Shiny Rayquaza!

“Screech~!”

“Territory~!”

Beside Bai Ze, Beedrill and Metagross instantly became as if facing a formidable enemy.

Although its aura was slightly inferior to that of the previous Dark Lugia, and no vast divine power was evident, the two Pokémon knew this guy’s personality. Without a contract with Bai Ze, who knew what this battle-crazed lunatic would do!

Meanwhile, Bai Ze, who had calmed down slightly, composed himself and refocused his gaze on the enormous creature before him. An invisible, brilliant light flashed in his eyes.

The next second, the data panel of the black Shiny Rayquaza appeared before his eyes—

[Introduction: A Shiny Legendary Pokémon that has reached the realm of gods. It is the only member of the Rayquaza clan that can contend with its clan leader, the Primordial Rayquaza. It possesses talent and battle will that are considered top-tier even among legendary species. Not long ago, it broke through to the ranks of peak First-Tier God in battle.]

So strong!

Bai Ze was slightly surprised.

One must know.

Since it was marked as ‘broke through not long ago,’ it means that the previous Rayquaza should have only been at the high-tier First-Tier God level.

And at most, at the high-tier First-Tier God level, it was already capable of rivaling its clan leader—the Primordial Rayquaza, who served as a divine being!

One must know that a Legendary Pokémon with a divine position inherently gains a boost to its combat power.

Moreover, as the clan leader of the Rayquaza family, Primordial Rayquaza has participated in countless ‘peacemaking’ actions against Groudon and Kyogre since ancient times. It must also be a peak First-Tier God with moves like ‘Dragon Ascent’ that allow it to undergo a super evolution.

The black Shiny Rayquaza before him, despite being at a slightly lower level, could contend with it. Regardless of the outcome, its formidable combat power was evident!

Furthermore, speaking of the black Shiny Rayquaza, it reminded Qin Chuan of the incredibly strong black Shiny Rayquaza in the movie “Hoopa and the Clash of Ages” that fought six First-Tier Gods at once and dominated!

Rayquaza must be rare.

And there might only be one black Shiny Rayquaza.

So, could the one in the movie be the one in front of him now?

If so.

Then everything would make sense… What’s the big deal about challenging a peak First-Tier God beyond its level? In the future, it would have the peak battle record of dominating six top-tier legends at once!

Also.

With such combat power, what could have caused the black Shiny Rayquaza to be injured?

Recalling how he unintentionally healed the black Shiny Rayquaza not long ago, and the aftermath of Ho-Oh summoning its phantom and fiercely battling an unknown entity above the clouds…

Both in the Kanto region.

So,

Could it be…

Just as Bai Ze fell into contemplation, a slightly clear and crisp girlish voice echoed in his ears.

“Human, come, fight me!”

“Huh?”

Bai Ze was stunned by the words.

A girl?

Oh no, female?!

Wait!

Did she just… challenge me to a battle?

With too many elements, Bai Ze was clearly a bit bewildered, but bewildered or not, the black Shiny Rayquaza completely ignored it.

“No words, I’ll take that as a yes!”

“Roar~!”

The black Shiny Rayquaza roared, winding its dragon body in the air, and a jade-like light instantly condensed to its extreme.

The next moment, it transformed into a green arrow of light, dragging two orange-yellow streaks of light beside it, and directly slammed into the constantly vigilant Beedrill and Metagross below!
