Chapter 642 Divine Avoidance, Winning People Over with Virtue!
Z2 did not respond; its body was slightly tense, indicating that it was not letting its guard down.
Just as Xiaoyun was trying to influence Z2 with love and peace, Xiaoguang, who was standing to the side, also realized that the problem was not simple.
Although she wasn't as knowledgeable about legendary Pokémon as Xiaoyun, she knew Zygarde's name and its current unstable state.
All of this made her realize that this was no ordinary event.
She immediately moved Shami and Bogarman to a safer location and whispered, "Xiaoyun, won't it suddenly go berserk again? It doesn't seem very stable."
"I don't know either." Xiaoyun shrugged, looking helpless. "It depends on how much trust they have and whether they're willing to accept our goodwill."
To put it bluntly, it's about seeing how easily this sly person can be fooled.
Z2 was also secretly observing Xiaoyun. The Pokémon around this human all had clear eyes and didn't seem to be forced.
They were indeed different from those people in red uniforms who exuded a nauseating aura.
But... trusting humanity?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
That wretched little human brat, what are you babbling about? I'll do it myself...
Om-!
An even stronger green light erupted!
Z2's body transformed in the light! Its slender limbs emerged, transforming it into the shape of a Doberman Pinscher.
Zygarde, 10% form!
This time, Z2 almost exhausted its last bit of energy reserves, and its strong will overcame its physical weakness!
It's taking a gamble! Betting this will scare them!
Although its size is far smaller than that of a fully evolved Pokémon, the pressure of being a legendary Pokémon still instantly spread.
Z2 stared ahead and let out a warning roar.
"Ugh—!" (Human, get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!)
Even when it's not in good condition, it's not a pushover!
"careful!"
Xiao Guang exclaimed in surprise, and Bogaman immediately stepped in front of her.
Xiaoyun's Pokémon react even faster! Their main strength is their high level of training!
Almost at the same time that Z2 completed its transformation and began to radiate hostility.
The playing Eevee and Dratini immediately stopped fighting and retreated warily.
The frog immediately gave up practicing, and with a flash, it blocked Xiaoyun's side and front, its Iaijutsu water blade already in hand.
The snoring pterosaur was startled awake by the energy fluctuation, abruptly sat up, and let out a roar filled with morning grumpiness:
"Howl!" (Who's the idiot who disturbed my sleep? Are they tired of living?)
The Onion Soldiers immediately assumed a battle stance, gripping their Onion Spears tightly with both hands, like knights about to charge into battle, brimming with fighting spirit.
Is it finally time for it to shine?
Seeing this, Z2 thought to himself, "They really are the enemy!" Energy immediately began to gather at the corners of his mouth!
The Lizard King was the quickest to react!
The true MVP!
Just as Z2 completed its transformation and was clearly about to launch an attack, the Lizard King moved!
The bond between Xiaoyun and the Lizard King was already deep. When the Lizard King took action, Xiaoyun instantly understood his intentions and did not hesitate at all!
"Lizard King!"
Xiao Yun let out a low shout, summoning the power of super resistance, and the Lizard King's body instantly erupted with dazzling seven-colored light! At the same time, a resonance occurred!
Lizard King, Bond Evolution!
The background music instantly switched to a high-energy battle theme!
There was no lengthy transformation process; it was almost an instant when the light of evolution shone through a single thought.
The Bonded Lizard King has arrived!
Z2 sensed a deadly threat!
This aura is stronger than the three guys in red uniforms combined!
Without daring to hesitate any longer, he slammed his forelimbs into the ground, forcefully mobilizing the little strength he had just recovered!
Rumble!
A terrifying energy, capable of drawing upon the power of the earth, erupted from its center!
The power of the earth! !
The ground trembled violently, and countless stone pillars containing destructive energy burst forth from the earth as if they were alive, spreading wildly in a fan shape towards Xiaoyun's location!
Its power is enough to easily destroy a building!
However, in that extremely brief moment, just as the earth's divine power erupted and the stone pillar had not yet fully emerged from the ground...
That is, the skill's pre-cast animation phase.
"just!"
The Lizard King moved!
Its figure transformed into a streak of white light, not retreating, not dodging, but charging head-on into the destructive torrent of energy!
The leaf blades on its arms had, without anyone noticing, been enveloped by countless frenzied, leaping red lightning bolts!
Suddenly drawn!
There are no fancy techniques, only a single strike that is extremely fast and extremely focused!
God, beware!
Z2's pupils contracted sharply, and alarm bells rang in his mind.
(What kind of slash is that?!)
laugh--!
The next moment, a blade of light, as sharp as the horizon, suddenly appeared!
Like a hot knife slicing through butter, it quietly cut across the turbulent core of the earth, and also across the body of Z2!
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Click, click, click!
That violent, seemingly all-destroying earth power caused its energy structure to collapse instantly after the blade flashed!
The protruding stone pillar stopped abruptly a few meters away from Xiaoyun and the others, then transformed into primordial energy particles and dissipated into the air.
Z2, who was in an attack stance, suddenly stiffened.
A thin, long cut appeared out of nowhere on its chest!
Click! !
The forcibly condensed energy dissipated instantly, and the Doberman form could not be maintained.
In a burst of light, it transformed back into that soft, green lump of slime.
Moreover, it was even dimmer than before, having almost lost all its luster.
Only one inner monologue remains:
"I...I was instantly killed?"
One move! Just one move!
With absolute speed and power, the Lizard King forcibly interrupted Z2's attack before it could fully erupt, and severely damaged its core!
This perfectly illustrates the saying, "In the world of martial arts, speed is the only way to break through!"
There was silence.
All that remained was the sound of the wind blowing.
Only the Lizard King slowly sheathed its sword and ceased its evolutionary process.
Although its sword is unsheathed, the movements must be stylish.
It glanced indifferently at the motionless Z2 on the ground, then walked to Xiaoyun's side, nodded slightly, indicating that the threat was over, and kept its merits hidden.
"Wow, that's amazing..." Xiao Guang finally spoke after a long while, his eyes filled with amazement as he looked at the Lizard King.
"Poga..."
Bogarman looked at the Lizard King, his little eyes filled with adoring stars.
Please help me, expert!
The frog and the onion soldier, who both used weapons, were even more shocked.
"Croak..." (Is this my brother's true strength? My training is far from sufficient!)
The frog fell into deep self-reflection.
"Gah..." (Wow... such amazing marksmanship, no, such amazing knife skills, I really want to learn it...)
Onion Soldier gripped his onion spear tightly, feeling that he had found his target for duck breeding.
Even the usually arrogant pterosaur quietly lay back down.
The boss is still the strongest...
The Lizard King glanced around, crossed his arms, and exuded an air of superiority.
Then, Xiaoyun stepped forward, squatted down next to Z2, and carefully examined it. Sensing its extremely weak energy reaction, she frowned:
"It's damaged the core... Even though it attacked us just now, we can't just leave it alone."
Xiaoyun waved to Xie Mi.
"Shami, do this again!"
"Hmph! It just molested me! And it tried to suck me! Mimi won't stand for that!"
Shemi turned her head away, puffing out her cheeks.
"Alright, alright, it's because it smells so good. But if you don't take care of it, it'll be gone."
"Kind Lord Shami wouldn't want to see a life disappear before your eyes, would he?"
"All right...."
Xiaoyun coaxed and tricked Shemi into coming over reluctantly, and once again she emanated a soft, healing light that enveloped Z2.
This time, the brilliance was even greater.
Soon, with Shemi's treatment, the light on Z2's core finally stabilized a little, no longer so dim, but it was still very weak.
After a while, the green slime moved slightly.
who am I? where am I?
How did I turn back into a core again?
It looked at Xiaoyun, then at Shaymin who was treating it, and at the Pokémon around it that were wary but had no further intention to attack.
Everything that had just happened flashed through its mind like lightning.
This human didn't capture it; he even treated its injuries.
And that incredibly fast red blade of light...
Can ordinary Pokémon achieve this level of performance?
Not only did their escape attempt fail, but they were also defeated in a single blow during the fight.
Z2 was filled with complex emotions, and even began to doubt his own abilities.
It's like starting with super armor and a Rasengan, but then feeling powerless as the skeleton easily takes control.
Seeing that Z2 seemed to have regained some consciousness, Xiaoyun tried to communicate with it again:
“Zigelder, can we talk?”
Z2 did not respond, but his eyes were less hostile, and his attitude softened somewhat.
"First of all, I apologize for my partner's excessive force."
Xiaoyun pointed to the lizard king next to her, who was resting with its eyes closed:
"But it was only to protect us. If your attack had landed, we would likely have all been seriously injured, or even worse. The Lizard King was just fulfilling his duty as a partner."
Z2 remains silent.
It knew that what the other party said was true, and that it had indeed gotten carried away just now.
Indeed, force itself does not provoke reflection, but actions involving force often prompt self-reflection.
"Secondly, I want to tell you that we really have no ill intentions."
Xiaoyun continued, starting to play the emotional card and exploit the information gap:
"I know another you, or rather, your other half."
Z2 raised its head; it was interested in this.
Xiaoyun pressed on, saying, "It's with a little girl named Yulijia now, and they get along very well, like family."
"Your partner chose to believe in humanity and, in their interactions with humans, silently protected Carlos."
The half-body of it... is with humans? Like family?
Z2 was shocked.
It had been separated from its half-body for too long, and could only vaguely sense the other's presence and general condition, but knew nothing about the specific details.
This news had a significant impact on it.
Xiaoyun pointed to her Pokémon:
"Look, they are all my partners. We trust each other and grow together."
"Most humans, like us, are willing to be friends with Pokémon, respect you, and work together to protect this world."
Xiaoyun shamelessly positioned herself as a good person and a guardian of the world.
However, it seems he really did come.
He looked directly into Z2's eyes, at the two points of yellow light, and said sincerely, "Someone wants to imprison you so that they can use your power to achieve their twisted goals."
"And we, at least personally, respect your will and choice."
“If you want to leave, we won’t forcibly stop you. But in your current state, where can you go if you leave here?”
"The people chasing you are definitely doing everything they can to find you. You're out of energy, and you're even having trouble protecting yourself."
Xiaoyun's words struck Z2's heart like a hammer.
This human is right... If it goes out now, it's tantamount to walking into a trap.
The humans over there won't let it go, and the outside world is too dangerous.
Any random lizard king could kill it instantly...
"So, I have a proposal."
Xiaoyun's voice softened, revealing the true intentions:
"You can stay with us for now. I will have Shemi help you heal and restore your energy. But we will not restrict your freedom. You can observe us at any time and judge whether we are trustworthy."
"Once you regain your strength, whether you stay or leave is entirely up to you. I can assure you of that."
Stay temporarily, observe, and recover your strength.
Z2 weighed the options in his mind; this seemed to be the only viable choice at the moment.
This human trainer is strong enough to ensure a certain level of safety.
Moreover, the Pokémon's treatment did indeed help it recover, making it a necessity.
Most importantly, he mentioned the lower half of the body.
Perhaps we can learn about the condition of the other half of his body through him, which is crucial.
After a long while, under the gaze of everyone and all the Pokémon, Z2's chest flared slightly a few times, conveying its thoughts.
"Hmm..." (I may stay for a while, but don't try to subdue me; our relationship is only temporary.)
Xiaoyun smiled.
Sure, it's a promise. But this little boat of friendship is easy to get on, but hard to get off.
"Of course, Tie Tie, I love to tell the truth."
"Then welcome to the team. Please feel free to guide me."
He reached out his finger, cautiously trying to touch Z2 as a gesture of friendliness.
As a result, Z2 immediately shrank back, expressing its "don't touch me" attitude, remaining vigilant.
Hmph, a naturally cunning human brat....
Xiaoyun awkwardly withdrew her hand, but didn't seem to mind, and still smiled:
"Then you should rest well first, and let Shamy treat you again. I'll prepare a special energy cube for you later, see if you like it."
As he spoke, he stood up and announced to his companions:
"Alright, crisis averted! Zygarde is our guest for now, let's all get along peacefully!"
"Bu Yi?" (It's not hitting people anymore? Can we get along with it?)
Ibrahimovic tilted his head, still somewhat doubtful.
"Meow~" (They probably won't hit it anymore, it looks so pitiful, it got beaten up so badly by the boss~)
The dwarf dragon's eyes held a hint of pity.
That cut must have hurt a bit.
Frog was shocked by the Lizard King's attack and went back to practice Iai Slash, only occasionally glancing in the direction of Z2.
I'm wondering if I should use it to practice my sword skills.
"Howl~"
The fossil pterosaur yawned widely, seemed to feel better, and lay down again to continue its nap.
Onion Soldiers watched Z2 and brandished their onion guns with great practice.
The Lizard King nodded, sat back down on the rock, and continued meditating.
It was as if nothing had happened; the air of superiority remained perfectly maintained.
Xiao Guang laughed too: "Great, a peaceful resolution."
She likes this kind of atmosphere; fighting and killing are no good.
Xiaoyun returned to the curry pot, lifted the lid, and the rich aroma burst forth once again.
He stirred the curry while humming a song, seemingly in a very good mood.
Getting Z God as a temporary teammate for free is definitely a good deal.
As for subduing it? Xiaoyun was completely unmoved, and even felt a little amused.
Let it be. You can't force things. He doesn't need half of it anyway.
Is it that Chief Lama isn't appealing, or that Shaymi can't summon Giratina?
So, maintaining this temporary ally or roommate relationship is fine.
Z2, meanwhile, quietly stayed next to Shemi (maintaining a safe distance) while receiving treatment.
It watched the busy human trainer, observed his natural and harmonious interactions with the Pokémon, and felt the relaxed atmosphere that was so different from before.
Humans... are truly complex creatures.
For the first time, Z2 felt a curiosity about humanity that was different from anything she had ever felt before.
Perhaps... we could observe it for a while?
The sun was still shining brightly, and the Pokémon were resting and playing. Everything seemed to have returned to normal, except for one special temporary member.
The travel will continue...
To be continued!
