Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 242 The Ultimate Power and Speed

With unstoppable momentum, Cynthia planned to head straight for the Misty Forest, and Li Shuwen also felt this was a good opportunity.

The powerful enemies that may exist in the Misty Forest are perfect for Cynthia and Garchomp to test their current strength.

Dr. Mustard learned that they were about to explore the forest.

She nodded in agreement immediately, having great faith in Cynthia's abilities.

He took out the space explorer he had made, saying, "This should help you find a way out."

The key point about this area shrouded in spatial mist isn't how to get in.

The real question is, how do you get out after you go in?

Li Shuwen finished installing the space explorer. "Don't worry, Doctor, I will bring Cynthia back safely."

Cynthia held her head high with confidence, "I protected you and brought you back safely!"

Li Shuwen smiled and did not refute, "Indeed, Cynthia is the more powerful Pokémon Trainer, and I am the challenger."

Cynthia held her head high with pride, even though Li Shuwen had given her the Dragon Dance skill disc.

But when the two of them fight, Cynthia still won't hold back.

They even planned to use the Dragon Dance to beat Li Shuwen until he knelt on the ground!

Seeing Cynthia's smile, Li Shuwen assumed she was simply overjoyed at obtaining the Dragon Dance.

"Alright, let's go."

Upon reaching the outside of the Misty Forest, Li Shuwen nodded as he looked at the still-present white mist.

"I can still see the mist. The effects of Palkia's dream haven't dissipated, which is very helpful in finding the way in and out."

Li Shuwen unleashed his superpowers and found the weak point in the spatial fog.

His intuition told him that this location was the entrance to the Misty Forest.

"Come with me."

Cynthia followed Li Shuwen into the unremarkable woods.

Suddenly, Li Shuwen disappeared from Cynthia's sight.

Cynthia quickly followed, but still couldn't find Li Shuwen.

As Li Shuwen stepped in, the trees in the forest that were originally only as thick as a bowl immediately became so thick that a person could barely hug them.

Li Shuwen looked back and saw that Cynthia hadn't followed.

Li Shuwen could only retreat by following the flow of the spatial mist.

Cynthia looked at Li Shuwen, who had suddenly reappeared before her, and asked in surprise, "How did you suddenly disappear and then suddenly reappear? Did you teleport?"

Li Shuwen reached out his hand, "Take my hand, and I'll show you how it works for you."

Without a second thought, Cynthia grabbed him; she wanted to see just how amazing it was.

Li Shuwen turned his head and focused on discerning the flow of the spatial mist.

Cynthia felt the heat emanating from Li Shuwen's palm.

In her heart, Cynthia stamped her foot in frustration. How could she have just taken her hand like that?!

This feeling is quite comfortable, but why do I feel inexplicably guilty?

Isn't the cabbage also her?

Not only do I feel guilty, but why do I also feel a little excited?

As Cynthia was lost in thought, her surroundings suddenly changed drastically.

All that was heard was Li Shuwen saying, "Come in."

Cynthia looked up and said, "These... trees are at least several hundred, even thousands of years old, and the species are very ancient."

"These trees alone have convinced me that this is a mysterious place that has been isolated from ancient times to the present."

After checking the surroundings and confirming that they wouldn't easily get lost in the spatial mist, Li Shuwen said, "We can release the Pokémon now."

Li Shuwen released the sticky dragon to let her see if it was a familiar environment.

After emerging from the muddy water, Numerulong simply took a deep breath and revealed an excited expression.

This taste is perfect!

This is the taste!

"Melu!"

Cynthia also released Garchomp, but Garchomp didn't have much of a mental state.

After coming out, immediately stack all six layers of Dragon Dance.

Like a child who gets a new toy, Garchomp probably won't let go until it gets tired of playing with it.

But Dragon Dance is such a great skill, let alone Garchomp.

I've played with the Scaled Dragon for so many years, and I don't get tired of it at all.

Even after entering the fog, Li Shuwen did not let go of Cynthia's hand.

The two continued forward until they heard the sound of an axe chopping wood.

Cynthia was delighted. "It must be people living in the Misty Forest cutting down trees. Let's go take a look."

The two ran to the location from which the sound came and saw a yellowish-brown praying mantis wielding an obsidian axe, chopping down an ironwood tree.

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow, "Axe-wielding praying mantis!"

This place actually has ancient lost Pokémon.

Considering that even a Golem can appear in the Great Wetlands, it seems quite normal that a Scyther can be found in Shenhe Town.

This peculiar ironwood is not only extremely hard, but the wounds inflicted by the praying mantis heal and disappear quickly as the mantis pulls out its axe.

Even if the mantis chops like that for a hundred years, it still won't be able to cut through the ironwood.

Li Shuwen released his grip. "You wait here. I'll try to go up and communicate with the scythe. If that doesn't work, then you can go up."

Cynthia nodded. "Be careful."

Li Shuwen smiled gently and led Nianmei Lulong out from behind the tree.

"Hello, are you the owner of this forest?"

Upon hearing the sound, the axe-wielding mantis turned around, suddenly raised its axe, and chopped down at Li Shuwen.

The Golem lunged forward, its body gleaming with metallic light, deflecting the Scizor's axe.

Li Shuwen quickly used his waveguide power to communicate with the axe-splitting mantis's mind.

"I meant no harm!"

The Mantis glanced at Li Shuwen and said calmly, "Intruders, you are not welcome here. Leave, or die!"

Having said that, the axe-wielding mantis swung its axe again with great force.

Goodra roared. Although she was happy to see a Pokémon from the same era, she was very unhappy that Scizor dared to attack Li Shuwen!

He lowered his head and crashed directly into the mantis's arms.

The immense force sent the mantis flying.

The mantis landed and took a deep breath.

It hurts.

This Golem is incredibly strong and has excellent defense.

His axe couldn't cut through it.

Of course, that's a world-class defensive skill.

Seclusion!

It not only enhances defense but also helps to neutralize enemy attacks.

For example, when Gallade sparred with Goodra, its elbow blades were either deflected or slipped off when facing the closed-door opponent.

It is difficult to cause effective damage.

Cynthia's heart tightened, and she immediately sent Garchomp to help.

Li Shuwen said, "No rush. Let the Slug and the Mantis try it out. It's not easy to meet an old friend from the same era. The Slug will definitely want to get to know him better."

Cynthia raised an eyebrow. "Scizor, that name suits this guy quite well."

The Goomyron lowered its head and launched a fierce attack, leaving the Scizor helpless.

The Scizor was under a lot of pressure and clearly didn't want to continue getting close to the Goodra.

Cynthia narrowed her eyes slightly. "Garuda, don't let him get away."

Sure enough, seeing that it couldn't win, the Mantis decided to make a strategic retreat.

Just as he turned to run, he saw a Garchomp smiling at him.

The sixth level of Dragon Dance, Garchomp's attacks are as fast as lightning.

Previously it was about ultimate power, but now Garchomp has finally experienced what ultimate speed and ultimate power truly mean!

With its shark fins flapping, the mantis with its axe-like claws was already flying into the sky before it could even react.

He crashed to the ground, and when he looked up, he saw the smiling Numerulong.
