Chapter 899: Eye of the Future

~13 min read 2,543 words

By the lake.

Cold, lonely, crystal-clear snowflakes drifted down.

Regidrago, frozen into a large ice sculpture, fell to the ground at some point, the Y-shaped dot matrix inside the dragon-shaped skull flashing back and forth.

"Rumble——"

A few seconds later, the light dimmed, and there was no more sound.

One move decided the outcome.

All Baimu recalled Regidrago into its Poké Ball, took a deep breath of the cold air caused by Glacial Lance, slowly exhaled a white mist, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

If Aggron were to face Regidrago, after Mega Evolution, adjusting the timing to use 【Avalanche】 or other moves later, it could also kill it in one move.

But there was absolutely no possibility of freezing the full-state 【Dragon Energy】 composed of Dragon-type energy!

【Glacial Lance】.

What a terrifying skill.

It was already outrageous enough in the game with its super high power, group attack, and full accuracy, who knew it would become even more excessive in the anime.

He couldn't help but ask: "How much have you actually restored?"

"A little bit."

Calyrex's answer seemed humble, but it was actually extremely arrogant.

All Baimu suspected that if its fingers weren't flexible enough, he might even have a chance to see a mocking gesture made with the index finger and thumb.

Then it added: "At least my eyes can no longer look into the distant future."

Weakened Future Sight...

Wait.

He frowned and said: "Distant future? How distant is the future that you can't see? One minute? Ten minutes? Half an hour?"

"By your calculation method, the limit is about five seconds."

Calyrex didn't mind revealing its own state, and also enjoyed the subtle expressions All Baimu showed after knowing its powerful strength.

It had waited too long for this day.

It must let that kid understand the power of the King of Bountiful Harvests!

Dampen his spirit!

"Within five seconds..."

All Baimu's originally quite serious expression gradually relaxed after getting this detailed data.

Five seconds.

It sounded acceptable at first hearing.

More importantly, is the future Calyrex sees an unchangeable future?

He didn't think so.

Before becoming a fait accompli, the future has infinite possibilities, and even if it becomes a fait accompli, the future can still be changed.

After all, even the past can be changed, causing an impact on the established reality.

Suddenly.

He lowered his head and raised his eyebrows in Calyrex's puzzled expression:

"Looks like my schedule has to be pushed back."

Regieleki ultimately didn't resist the temptation of revenge, and by releasing small electrical signals, agreed to his unreasonable request.

This surprised All Baimu, who thought it would always be stubborn.

"Go!"

Bang!

White light flashed.

Regieleki, shaped like a yellow big lightbulb, appeared.

"Beep beep beep——Regi! Eleki!"

Zzz!

In the ear-piercing current sound, a blinding white light that gradually dimmed was left in the void, and a faint burnt smell spread, but the main body of Regieleki had long since disappeared.

So fast!

All Baimu quickly turned his head to look for its figure, but saw Calyrex quietly close its left eye.

Hum!

Brilliant fluorescent blue light lit up from its right eye, and soon dimmed.

Future Sight activated!?

As if confirming his thoughts, a touch of pink-purple light dripped like rain onto the calm lake surface, rippling under Glastrier's hooves.

【Psychic Terrain】.

Rumble!

Fierce wind sounded from afar.

It was Regieleki that encountered unknown power when it tried to rush toward Calyrex, unable to advance an inch!

【Extreme Speed】?

All Baimu realized that one of the major effects of Psychic Terrain in the game is to make moves with priority ineffective, and in the anime, it simply repels such moves?

"Beep beep beep——"

Regieleki, whose sneak attack failed, spread its long arms that gathered current, and twelve long whiskers swirled and swung, like two blooming light yellow mandalas, gathering dazzling thunder!

Crack!

Lightning pierced the void, wrapping around and rushing toward Calyrex in the blink of an eye!

It was a pity that this move was blocked by the mottled ice wall condensed from the cold mist under Glastrier's hooves; clearly, Regieleki's attack was all in Calyrex's expectations.

What was even more exaggerated was that when Regieleki tried to shift, pink-purple light rose from under its feet first, forming a rectangular space that forcibly imprisoned it in place.

【Expanding Force】!

"Beep beep beep——Regi, Eleki!"

Regieleki twitched crazily, unable to resist the fierce attack of psychic power.

All Baimu's two eyelids jumped wildly, and Aggron and other Pokémon also looked serious.

When he saw the ice wall behind Glastrier neighing loudly, the ice wall shattered into countless large and small ice cubes and flew forward, he couldn't hold it anymore.

"Wait a minute!"

Bang bang bang!

The ice cubes wouldn't listen to him and stop in mid-air; the immobile Regieleki was completely swallowed by countless broken ice, and this Legendary Pokémon with low defense was completely taken away.

The Pokémon watched all this, looking at each other in silence.

"Wait for what?"

Calyrex asked strangely.

All Baimu said: "You two against one?"

Previously, Regidrago was killed in one move, and he hadn't discovered the specific problem, until he saw the process of Calyrex battling Regieleki, his CPU was almost burned.

Although actual battles are not turn-based, it is very normal to find the right time to use moves two or three times.

But it was too outrageous for you, Calyrex, to use a move, and Glastrier to also use a move!

"I and my beloved steed are one, how can it be two against one?"

Calyrex didn't understand.

Glastrier also tilted its head, as if a question mark floated on its forehead.

Can 【As One】 be explained like this?

All Baimu covered his head; in his view, Calyrex riding a white horse was like Kyurem combined with Reshiram or Zekrom, truly becoming one.

The scene before him told him that this was not the case.

Calyrex did gain power from Glastrier through the Reins of Unity, but the two were still two independent individuals, capable of driving attribute energy simultaneously and launching attacks of different attributes.

In other words.

Regieleki looked like it was battling Calyrex, but its actual opponents included Calyrex, who possessed Glastrier's power, and Glastrier itself.

Can this be played? It can't be played at all.

Aggron is indeed level 90, but Calyrex is not necessarily lower than level 90!

"You are right."

He knew that there was no point in struggling, just thinking that he had played the game stupidly.

Glacial Lance, Future Sight, plus two against one.

Too exaggerated.

The off-field factors were exaggerated to this point, plus the general toughness of Tier 1 Legendaries, can Aggron really defeat this kind of "if it's not closed, it's open" existence?

All Baimu looked at Regieleki, who was pressed under the pile of ice cubes, and recalled it into the ball.

"Thank you for your contribution."

Without Regieleki's dedicated contribution, it would be hard for him to know that Calyrex's battle was so outrageous; one against one was already hard enough, two against one...

Calyrex saw his helpless face and pondered for a moment before asking:

"All Baimu, why do you think Glastrier shouldn't take action?"

"No——hmm, it's like this."

All Baimu saw its serious expression and explained: "First, I think you and Glastrier are 【As One】, with you as the leader using moves, and Glastrier only playing a role of existence; second, in the League competition, Glastrier is likely not allowed to participate in the attack."

He cited the relationship between Dreepy and Dragapult, and the Pokémon League's restrictive clauses on Dreepy.

Calyrex suddenly realized: "I see, the actions of my beloved steed are considered unfair and unjust in the eyes of you humans..."

"Neigh~"

Glastrier snorted disdainfully.

All Baimu said: "Don't worry, this is a rule specifically for the competition after all, there are no such rules in wild battles. Using all the power that can be used is normal."

"No."

Calyrex shook its head and said: "I think these words make sense. First, my beloved steed has already been defeated by you; second, the Pokémon you want to tame is only me; since that is the case, in the next battle, I will stop my beloved steed from joining the battle."

Actively relaxing the standards?

All Baimu was slightly surprised, not knowing that Calyrex also felt helpless in its heart.

It actually didn't think that Glastrier and it fighting together was a violation, but seeing the conflicted look of the young man in front of it, it found that it seemed to have played too hard, and was extremely worried that it would hit his confidence.

After all.

What Calyrex wanted to see was All Baimu who was forging ahead, not All Baimu who had discovered the chasm that was hard to cross and had to give up.

Whether to enter the Poké Ball or not, it didn't care.

But it hoped that its existence could inspire him and promote his growth.

Because All Baimu had told it that besides wanting to make his hometown prosperous, he also wanted to become the strongest Trainer in the world.

If it only helped the first wish, the bond between them would soon break.

No demands.

Not for humble believers.

Calyrex wanted to stay by his side longer.

All Baimu didn't know what it was thinking, nor did he agree to the relaxed standards Calyrex set, saying: "... Let's pause for a moment, I want to have a chat with Aggron and the others."

"Good."

Calyrex drove the horse to the distance, leaving enough space.

——

By the lake.

A piece of silence.

The sky turned dusky, and the sun was about to set.

All Baimu looked at his own Pokémon, took a deep breath, and said:

"You have also seen the power Calyrex has mastered. Such an opponent is not something that can be compared to those encountered in the past..."

"Guroar!"

Aggron roared suddenly.

Although the power Calyrex showed was terrifying, as the ace, it had to stand up at this moment to show the Trainer their will.

Pre-battle mobilization? Cheering?

No need.

There was no Pokémon present that had won all the way.

Some had encountered strong enemies they wanted to defeat but couldn't, some had quietly shed tears wanting to become strong, and some had run away after the battle.

But they were still here.

Calyrex is very strong, but there is nothing to despair about.

Lose.

Then lose.

Lose countless times.

Then win that most critical one!

No need to say more!

Start the battle!

The strong will was transmitted to All Baimu's heart through their eyes.

He fell silent suddenly, suddenly realizing that it wasn't them who needed cheering, but himself.

Calyrex's various abilities constantly deepened the fixed thinking in his heart that ordinary Pokémon could not defeat Tier 1 Legendaries.

Even if the other party "let water," he still had no confidence.

He even committed the most dangerous mistake in the Trainer profession, which he had once used to teach others—

Fear of losing.

In this situation where his heart was almost shaken.

His partner stood up.

Just as he had brought them confidence and courage, they also supported him when he almost retreated at the most critical moment.

The Pokémon told All Baimu in their own way:

The steps of moving forward should not stop because of the steep high mountains ahead.

This path to the top.

Was never walked by him alone.

"Almost forgot."

All Baimu didn't apologize, just patted his forehead and smiled: "It only has one chance, while we have countless times, the balance of victory has always been leaning toward our side."

Yeah.

What are you afraid of?

Fear of losing? What happens if you lose?

Nothing will happen, on the contrary, you will gain a goal to continue working hard to move forward.

He should be happy, should be grateful for Calyrex's strength, only if it is stronger can he truly become the first in this world after defeating it.

Because the Legendary Pokémon that others can't beat, he won.

Just as the saying goes—

Open the precedent of a hundred families!

Win the legend alone!

"Go! Round one!"

He beckoned to Aggron, and the Pokémon saw that the Trainer was no longer frowning, no longer worried, and completely set their minds at ease.

They gave their gaze support to the big monster that took the lead.

The two stepped forward.

All Baimu looked at Calyrex waiting quietly on the horse's back and walked toward it.

The closer he got, the more excited he felt.

The surging hot blood prompted him to pull open his collar, revealing the shining Key Stone.

He said: "Calyrex, we accept your kindness, but what we want to see is you at full strength—

"Mega Evolution!"

"Guroar!"

Hum!

Following Aggron, it bloomed with dazzling light, and the strong energy fluctuation rolled up wind and sand!

In the distance.

Calyrex pulled the reins, gazing at the Aggron and All Baimu approaching, keenly sensing the soaring momentum on both of them.

It became happy.

"That's how it should be! All Baimu! I really didn't misjudge you! Come and take a spear from me!"

Calyrex manipulated the violent wind and snow, the sky near dusk was shrouded in pale mist, countless snow points attacked forward like a waterfall, and gathered toward its left side!

The world changed color!

"【Sand Tomb】!"

"Guroar!"

Mega Aggron didn't hesitate to stomp the ground, the ground shattered and lifted wild sand, colliding with the wind and snow blowing from the front!

The two forces collided with each other, actually evenly matched!

You have to know that what blew over was only the aftermath before the launch of 【Glacial Lance】, and this was the first time Mega Aggron failed to gain the upper hand in a clash!

This made All Baimu more certain that Calyrex's energy level was not below Aggron's.

Hum!

Only a light cry was heard.

Calyrex had already thrown the huge ice spear it had condensed, and the surging flying sand instantly turned white and shattered, but this spear failed to hit Mega Aggron.

Only the huge funnel that sank into its eyes was seen, and the flying ice spear was inserted into the sandy ground.

Bang!

The flying sand exploded and quickly froze, turning into a strange ice sculpture.

Calyrex looked underground, suddenly discovering Mega Aggron's position through psychic ability, and the other party was constantly approaching its side.

"Predict my attack? Why not predict my prediction!"

Calyrex smiled and closed its left eye, fluorescent blue light shining in its right eye.

Future Sight!

All Baimu's throat tightened, and the hot blood turned into calmness.

Calyrex's Future Sight limit is five seconds; besides actions other than possibilities, there is only the method of waiting for five seconds before launching an attack.

It was just another problem that followed.

Can Future Sight be activated continuously?

If there is an interval, how long is the interval?

He saw the blue light dim quickly, and pink-purple light lit up on Calyrex's body, knowing that it was setting up some kind of trap.

Wait.

Wait for five seconds.

All Baimu stared closely at Calyrex's movements. ===== CHAPTER 900 =====
