Chapter 516 Keldeo: Master, please accept my bow!
"Advisor, what was that cat just now?"
The three of them, Meow Meow, had obviously noticed the little pony that had been flung away by Landorus and caught by Qingyu, so the cat sneaked over.
"It—"
Looking at the unconscious Keldeo, Qingyu sighed helplessly.
"I happen to know that its name is Keldeo, and it's a very special Pokémon."
Keldeo, a young pony Pokémon.
Because of its cute little pony appearance, Qingyu still prefers to call it a pony.
Although it looks like a very ordinary Pokémon, and can't compare to Ponyta in its Galar form in terms of cuteness, it actually has a rather special identity.
It is both a Mythical Pokémon and one of the "Swordsmen," making it the fourth member of the Trio.
However, just by looking at it, you can tell that it is still a greenhorn and needs a long period of training to truly grow into a qualified holy swordsman.
As for why it was here, Qingyu had a rough idea. Embracing the fearless spirit of a newborn calf, this little horse dared to challenge Kyurem to a duel in its own movie, and for that, it paid a heavy price, breaking off its horn in the process.
So it probably just happened to run into Landorus, wanted to challenge it to a duel but was not discovered at all, and was used as a speed bump and brought to Mikumo Island by chance?
Although it sounds difficult to bear, it makes perfect sense when it happens to Keldeo.
He really is a hothead.
"Don't worry about it, we'll deal with it when it wakes up."
Aoba simply put it on the ground before looking up at the direction of Sakaki and Land Cloud.
The Earth Cloud, which had transformed into a spirit beast form at some point, brought an almost tangible sense of oppression to the surroundings, even causing Meow Meow to cover her eyes and dare not look anymore.
Opposite it, in front of Sakaki, stood a Beedrill with a solemn expression and sharp eyes, buzzing as it rubbed its stinger against the intimidating pressure from the Land Cloud.
"Will the BOSS be able to gain the approval of the Land Cloud?"
Kojiro patted his chest, still shaken.
"After all, that's a legendary Pokémon. I heard it's even more popular in Unova than the Black and White Dragons—"
"Idiot! The BOSS is the strongest, he'll definitely win easily, meow!"
About an hour later.
Keldeo suddenly opened his eyes, looking around in a daze.
It vaguely remembered that it must have accidentally encountered one of the legendary "incarnations" and thus took the initiative to block its way, hoping to receive guidance from the other party.
And then, what happened?
Can not remember.
Keldeo shook his head and struggled to his feet.
Now that it has regained consciousness, it seems to have arrived at an unfamiliar island.
Three humans and a cat stood in front of it, but they didn't seem to care about it, their eyes all looking towards the other side of the island.
Keldeo suddenly felt curious, so he also looked in that direction.
It was immediately mesmerized at first glance.
What? What's going on?
Why is there a human with his upper body naked fighting against a land cloud that has transformed into a spirit beast?
Moreover—wasn't it said that the land cloud has no physical form and is the embodiment of clouds and mist? So why has it been beaten up by that human?
Is this even human?
"Kaio"
Keldeo instinctively let out a cry of surprise, and its sound was noticed by Qingyu, who then turned to look at it.
"You're awake?"
Qingyu smiled and squatted down, looking at the bewildered little colt.
"Perfect timing, the battle is almost over."
"Land Cloud's defeat is inevitable. In terms of strength, Sakaki is indeed superior."
As a professional Pokémon battle commentator, Qingyu's judgment of the situation has always been top-notch, even though one side is not a Pokémon this time.
However-
As soon as he finished speaking, Keldeo saw the man called Giovanni throw a punch into the air and had to cross his arms to withstand Land Cloud's attack.
"1
Sensing the somewhat subtle gazes from the three meow-meow duo, Qingyu couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Fine, I won't say anything then!
He then turned to look at Keldeo and waved his hand in front of it.
"Hey, can you still see clearly?"
"You were swept away by the land cloud to Three Clouds Island. I will bring you back to the community later."
Keldeo nodded.
Although I don't recognize the human in front of me, he seems quite friendly.
So it quickly mobilized its thoughts and tried to communicate with the other party through telepathy.
Thank you, humankind.
"You're welcome."
Qingyu wasn't surprised that Xiao Ma could use telepathy to communicate.
It's more accurate to say that this makes communication much easier.
"Speaking of which, how did you come up with the idea of challenging Land Cloud?"
Since she had nothing better to do, Qingyu decided to chat with it.
Little Horse may be reckless, but it's actually quite timid inside. Something must have happened, like in the movie, to make it suddenly brave.
【————】
Upon hearing Qingyu's teasing question, Keldeo suddenly fell silent and lowered his head.
A lot has indeed happened, but how can we tell humans about it?
Could it be that he had a minor disagreement with his three masters, and in a fit of anger, he ran away from home to defeat a powerful Pokémon to prove himself?
After calming down, Keldeo realized that he was indeed mostly at fault.
I need a formidable opponent to hone my skills!
So after careful consideration, Keldeo finally raised his head and conveyed a cool message from the bottom of his heart.
Qingyu: ?
He suddenly felt like laughing, so he poked the little horse's cute little head.
"Holy swordsmen use their horns as swords, but yours looks more like a dagger."
""
Don't laugh at me!
Keldeo blushed instantly and shook his head to flick Qingyu's fingers away.
It knew that it was not skilled enough, and its master, Gopaloon, had said that it was not yet able to use its sword freely and did not yet have the ability to become a holy swordsman.
But it is precisely because of this statement that it came out to try and prove itself!
Qingyu still had a smile on her face, but seeing that Keldeo was getting a little angry, she stopped the topic for the time being.
"Alright, I believe you will definitely become a qualified Holy Swordsman in the future."
After a pause, he then spoke the second half of the sentence.
"However, you should focus on your training for now; you still have a long way to go."
I know, you don't need to tell me!
Keldeo suddenly found the human in front of him quite annoying; it seemed like he knew him all too well.
Moreover, they even dare to point fingers at me!
I am the successor of the Holy Swordsman, the fourth swordsman who swore to protect nature and the peace of the United States! (Although I am not yet.)
Seeing its displeased expression, Qingyu always felt a sense of pleasure, like successfully teasing a child.
How cute, little pony!
However, the current pony is too weak; it feels like it might not even be able to beat a slightly stronger wild Pokémon.
Qingyu suddenly raised an eyebrow, thinking of an interesting idea.
"Speaking of which, I happen to have a Pokémon in my team that can use the Holy Sword. How about I have it give you some pointers?"
He was referring to Lucario, of course.
Although during the Black and White era, the Holy Sword was a special move that only Holy Swordsmen could use, some ordinary Pokémon could actually master it as well.
For example, Gallade, or Aegislash.
The way my Lucario learned to use the Holy Sword wasn't exactly legal, but it was more than enough to guide this little pony.
【real?】
Keldeo was skeptical; it always felt that the human in front of it seemed unreliable.
Therefore, we must first let it see a master!
Since they are experts, their strength must not be inferior to Master Gopaloon and the others!
"Of course it's true."
Qingyu smiled and ruffled the red mane on Keldeo's head, thinking that it seemed to be the most wary little guy she had ever seen.
However, their strength is also the weakest —
"Once the battle over there is over, I'll have a master swordsman give you some pointers."
【it is good! 】
Kelodyo nodded emphatically.
Unexpectedly, its somewhat reckless behavior this time seems to have yielded an unexpected surprise.
The unpleasant memories of being teased by the humans in front of it had been completely forgotten by it.
Indeed, only those with sufficient courage can grow into qualified holy swordsmen!
The wind on Mikumo Island is still howling.
However, the Earth Cloud, which possesses the power to summon wind and rain, is now at its limit.
"call-
—"
After being knocked down once again, the panting Earth Cloud was barely able to maintain its condensed physical body and could only stand up by sheer willpower.
From the very beginning of the battle, it sensed the determination of its opponent, as well as the strength that matched that determination.
That Beedrill, which possessed the power of Mega Evolution, did indeed cause it considerable trouble, even suppressing it at one point with its speed.
However, it is clearly lacking in the ability to sustain a protracted war.
After defeating Mega Beedrill, Landorus originally thought it would be a modest victory.
Although he ultimately won, the fact that this human named Giovanni could command Beedrill to fight him for so long shows that he was quite capable.
At that point, it had already acknowledged Sakaki's will.
However, the battle did not end with Beedrill's fall.
Suddenly, Sakaki stepped forward, smiling, and asked, "Your warm-up is over, right?"
"Now, it's my turn to challenge the legendary Pokémon's power."
Land Cloud: ?
What do you mean by "that was just a warm-up"?
And how dare a mere human defy the gods!
As long as it continues to use its avatar form, Giovanni will have no chance of hitting itself.
However, out of respect for its opponent and the inviolable dignity of legendary Pokémon, it transformed into its spirit form and fought Giovanni in a melee as fairly as possible.
As it turns out—
Sakaki is indeed quite capable.
His fists weren't hard enough, and their lethality was far less than that of a Beedrill's venomous stinger.
But no matter how many times he hit his opponent, he remained unfazed and would even retaliate with even greater ferocity.
Finally, after another exchange of injuries and a completely reckless battle, Land Cloud's last bit of strength was exhausted, and he could only lie on the ground, panting desperately.
"Is it over?"
Sakaki was covered in wounds, including bruises from punches and bloodstains from claws.
He should have collapsed long ago.
However, he seemed completely oblivious to the pain, still sporting that somewhat wicked smile.
That smile doesn't look like that of a good person.
The Earth Cloud, which had struggled to maintain its spirit beast form, collapsed to the ground and laughed with its last bit of strength, seemingly completely at peace.
"What a strange human being!"
"However, I acknowledge your will."
"Once we've dealt with the troubles left by the tornado and thunderclouds, I'll temporarily become your partner until you leave Unova!"
After saying that, Tudiyun lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground.
After a moment of silence, Sakaki also breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he took a Poké Ball out of his pocket.
But after staring at Landorus for a while while holding the Poké Ball, he suddenly smiled and casually tossed it behind him.
"Forget it, meaningless constraints can't be called cooperation at all."
"Since they've already shown their sincerity, why should I go through all that trouble?"
"."
"You're right, aren't you, Qingyu?"
He suddenly glanced to his left and could vaguely see a figure out of the corner of his eye.
"As expected of Boss Sakaki—aren't the physiques of you Kanto people a bit too outrageous?"
Qingyu raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
This is a Landorus in its spirit beast form, yet it's trying to fight a legendary Pokémon with human strength!
Is this even human?
I guess I'll never learn this skill in my lifetime.
Of course, someone as cautious as him is unlikely to challenge a Pokémon to a one-on-one battle.
"I've got everything sorted out here, let's get ready to go."
Sakaki bent down, picked up the suit he had casually tossed on the ground, and dusted off the dust.
"Let the land cloud come to me after it wakes up."
"Sure, but please wait a moment."
Remembering her promise to Xiao Ma, Qing Yu turned to look at Keldeo, who was looking expectant yet somewhat nervous.
It seems to be quite afraid of Sakaki.
That's normal, though.
If I were a Pokémon, I'd be scared too if I saw a human beat a legendary Pokémon with an elbow!
[Human, where's the promised master swordsmanship?!]
Keldeo quickly relayed its thoughts, and Qingyu reached into his pocket and took out a Poké Ball.
"Lucario, what do you think of this kid?"
"Luca?"
After a flash of red light, Lucario, wielding the Sword of Calamity, appeared beside him and looked at Keldeo with a puzzled expression.
During its time inside the Poké Ball, it silently observed the outside world using its Aura, so it could roughly understand what Qingyu meant.
but----
The horns on this little horse's head are so short, can they really be used as swords?
At least Lucario couldn't imagine such a thing from that perspective.
However, unlike Lucario, Keldeo was quite excited.
because-
With an incredibly powerful aura and wielding an ice sword that was clearly extraordinary, it was no ordinary Lucario!
Moreover, Keldeo could sense that its strength was probably even above that of its three holy swordsman masters, making it an extraordinary powerhouse!
Once this opportunity is gone, it's gone forever!
Therefore, Keldeo immediately stopped hesitating and rushed to Lucario.
Then, he slowly lowered his body.
Master, please accept my bow!
