Vicious had escaped, so decisively and cleanly.
He didn't even say any threatening last words, nor did he care about the Team Rocket grunts he had abandoned.
And after the brief but intense battle, with trees toppled, the ground collapsed, the river blocked, and bushes burned, the evil Pokémon had not controlled their power, and as a result, half the valley was now in ruins.
Seeing the once beautiful and familiar environnt destroyed like this, Clair was filled with emotion and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Lance patted her on the shoulder and smiled. "Don't think too much. The power of nature is formidable. Before long, the ecosystem here will recover."
"Lance is right," Natsui also agreed. "And with so many Grass-type Pokémon here, with their careful care, this Dragon's Holy Land will surely beco even more beautiful than before."
Hearing Natsui still addressing him so formally, Lance said to him seriously, "Alright, after going through so much together and fighting side by side for so long, isn't calling 'Mr. Lance' a bit too distant? You can just call by my na from now on."
Natsui naturally wouldn't refuse this kindness from an Elite Four mber.
Including Lorelei from before, this was the second Elite Four mber he was on good terms with. Even the cunning Agatha had praised him. It could be said that up to now, his network of connections had been gradually accumulating, which was an extrely valuable asset.
Recalling their respective Pokémon, the group then looked at the tied-up Team Rocket grunts in the distance.
At this point, they had slowly regained consciousness, but with their hands and feet bound, they were powerless to escape.
And having witnessed their highest-ranking executive abandon them and flee alone, coupled with their Pokémon being defeated, they had lost all faith and could only sit dejectedly on the ground, quietly awaiting their unknown fate.
"What do we do with these guys?"
Glancing at them, Lance snorted. "Of course, we take them out of here and then notify Officer Jenny to send them to prison. But before that, let's report to the Great Elder first."
Leaving their Pokémon to guard the prisoners, Natsui's group walked towards the Dragon Shrine.
On the way, Lance was full of praise for Gengar, which had turned the tide. Natsui, in turn, couldn't help but be curious and turned to look at Clair.
"How did you do that just now?"
"What?" Clair was taken aback, not knowing what Natsui was referring to.
Making a few gestures with his hands and even adding a 'swoosh swoosh' sound effect, Natsui said, "You know, like a ninja, jumping back and forth between the tree branches. How did you beco so agile and light?"
"Oh, that…" Clair smiled. "Because I've been training with Pokémon since I was a child, my physical fitness has improved over ti. And I'm very familiar with Dragonite's attack rhythm, which is why I could dodge so gracefully."
"Is it really that simple?" Natsui was quite skeptical. "That kind of movent doesn't seem like sothing an ordinary person can do."
Hearing this, Lance, who was walking at the front, laughed. "Clair is indeed just an ordinary person. If you knew Bruno, you would know what a truly strong human is. He's soone who can wrestle with Pokémon. Seeing his power would definitely blow your mind."
Bru… oh wait, Bruno…
Natsui stroked his chin.
In his mory, Bruno was indeed no ordinary person. His strength was so great that he had even defeated an Onix with his bare hands. He was as strong as a humanoid Pokémon.
If I have the chance, I should definitely et him.
And he was the only Elite Four mber he hadn't had any dealings with yet.
After a few minutes' walk, the group had arrived at the Dragon Shrine.
The Great Elder and Kabu had been watching from a distance during the battle. Seeing the group return safely, they ca out to greet them.
Lance went forward and recounted the battle. The Great Elder encouraged the two family mbers with a few words of praise, then turned his gaze to Natsui.
"Young man, you have helped us a great deal. We Dragon Tars always repay our debts. And as a reward for this incident, given your affinity with the way of the dragon, I will give you this."
As he spoke, he took out two stones from his pocket.
The two stones, one yellow and one blue, looked crystal clear and round, clearly having been carefully polished to be extrely smooth. Inside each was a pattern similar to a 'DNA helix', and under the sunlight, the stones shimred with a faint light.
With just one look, Natsui could tell that these were both Charizardites.
The yellow one would make Charizard evolve into its Y form, while the blue one would make it evolve into its X form.
Seeing Natsui's astonished look, the Dragon Elder seed to think that Natsui didn't understand their use and explained, "These are two magical stones brought back from the Kalos region by a traveling Dragon Tar. The stones contain powerful energy that can allow Charizard to temporarily evolve further. But to use them, besides the stones, you must personally go to the Kalos region to find the way to use them. However, the powers of these two stones conflict with each other and cannot be used at the sa ti, so you can only choose one as your reward."
"This… isn't this too valuable?"
"Don't be polite. Take it. You deserve it."
Although the Dragon Elder said so, Natsui still hesitated. He looked up and saw that both Lance and Clair were looking at him with encouraging smiles. After a mont's thought, he still extended his hand.
But when it ca to choosing, Natsui's finger hovered in the air for a long ti.
A choice between two…
It's really a tough decision.
In fact, whether it was Charizard's X form or its Y form, each had its own characteristics and looked very cool. Natsui really, really liked them both.
But as the Great Elder had said, this was a multiple-choice question with only one answer. No matter how much he liked them, he could only take one of the evolution stones.
After a long ti, Natsui finally made his choice.
He gritted his teeth and took the yellow ga Stone from the Great Elder's hand.
ga Charizard Y, this is it.
Compared to ga Charizard X, whose typing changed from Fire/Flying to Fire/Dragon and whose body color also changed, although ga Charizard Y's typing did not change, the power of its moves was greatly enhanced, and it also fit the completeness of Natsui's lineup better.
Comparing the two, one couldn't say which was stronger or weaker; it only depended on the trainer's personal preference.
And in any case, after confirming his answer, Natsui finally no longer had to struggle with the decision.
And, including the Gyaradosite he had obtained earlier, this was already his second ga Stone, which put him one step ahead of others even before he had begun his adventure in the Kalos region.
