144: Section 144

No, if he wanted to, he could definitely have one in the future, or rather, he could have a Fairy Pokémon at any time if he wished.

After all, doesn't Alolan Vulpix evolve into an Ice-type and Fairy Pokémon?

And it evolves using an Ice Stone.

It's just a shame that Alolan Vulpix is still a bit too young right now, and he doesn't plan to let it evolve just yet.

"Roar!"

Upon hearing this, Charizard immediately stepped forward and confronted Hydreigon.

As a light unique to Super Evolution flashed across its body, Charizard immediately underwent Super Evolution, allowing blue flames to envelop its entire body.

When it reappeared, it had transformed into Super Charizard X.

"Huh? So this Pokémon is called Hydreigon? That's a very fitting name."

"Fitting? I think the person who named it was just Slack Off..."

"From Anchor's expression, this Pokémon called Hydreigon seems quite extraordinary."

"Indeed, after Hydreigon appeared, Anchor clearly became much more cautious."

"Is it really as powerful as you all say? Why do I feel like this Pokémon doesn't seem that strong?"

"No, this Pokémon is definitely not simple! Look, Anchor immediately had Charizard use Super Evolution! From this point alone, you can see how cautious Anchor is about it."

"I remember the last time Anchor immediately used Super Evolution was when he encountered Raikou, right?"

"It seems so."

"Wait, are you trying to say that this Pokémon is also a Legendary Pokémon? That's impossible, right?"

"Maybe it really is a Legendary Pokémon?"

"That's impossible. Didn't you see Hydreigon was chasing that Alcremie earlier? If it were really a Legendary Pokémon, how could it not even catch up to a normal Pokémon?"

"It's definitely not a Legendary Pokémon, but it should be a very powerful existence among normal Pokémon."

"That's right, maybe it's a demigod or something."

"What the heck is a demigod? Don't just make up settings for Pokémon!"

"Perhaps my expression wasn't accurate and caused some misunderstanding. What I mean is that between normal Pokémon and Legendary Pokémon, there should be some more special Pokémon that serve as a transition between the two. After all, don't you think the gap between Legendary Pokémon and normal Pokémon is simply too large?"

"If such Pokémon truly exist, then perhaps they could indeed be called demigods."

"But the question is, do such Pokémon really exist?"

"I think they do exist, and my intuition tells me that this Pokémon called Hydreigon is very likely one of them. Otherwise, if the opponent were really just a normal Pokémon, would Anchor be so cautious?"

"To be fair, indeed."

Upon seeing Zhang Yu's reaction after encountering Hydreigon, the Water Friends were all stunned.

Chapter 173: First Hearing of a Pseudo-Legendary (Seeking Subscription)

Because they could clearly feel Zhang Yu's caution and helplessness when dealing with Hydreigon, a reaction they rarely saw from Zhang Yu.

Especially the fact that Zhang Yu immediately had Charizard undergo Super Evolution at the beginning made them incredibly surprised.

How long had it been since they had seen such a situation?

Involuntarily, they also became very curious about Hydreigon.

They wanted to know what was so special about this Pokémon.

Could it be that, as some people speculated, this Pokémon's strength was extremely formidable?

"Roar!"

"Dragon Pulse!"

Upon seeing that Zhang Yu and his group not only refused to hand over Alcremie but instead sent out a Dragon-type Pokémon to fight it, Hydreigon immediately became furious and launched an attack.

As it let out another roar, it immediately spat out a purple shockwave from its mouth, rushing directly towards Super Charizard X.

What was most surprising was that the purple shockwave transformed into a purple energy dragon with bared fangs and claws mid-way!

"As expected of a Pseudo-Legendary, isn't it? This strength really isn't comparable to ordinary Pokémon..."

Upon seeing this scene, Zhang Yu's expression immediately changed.

This Hydreigon was indeed not simple; its moves had already begun to change.

It should be noted that modifying moves to make them more flexible and suitable for oneself is something only Elite-level Pokémon can do.

And a situation like Hydreigon's, where the modification has been done but not yet completed, is at the Quasi-Elite level.

And indeed, when Zhang Yu scanned it with the system just now, he discovered that this Hydreigon was level 60. If Raikou was not counted, this was the highest-level opponent he had ever encountered.

"Super Charizard X, let's also use Dragon Pulse!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu also launched an attack, and the move he chose was exactly the same as Hydreigon's!

The reason he did this was to see which of the two Pokémon was stronger or weaker.

Of course, Zhang Yu had his own confidence in doing this.

Although his Super Charizard X certainly hadn't grown to the Quasi-Elite level yet, it was already over level 50, making it a very powerful existence among Gym Leader-level Pokémon. Coupled with the boost from Super Evolution, Zhang Yu didn't think Super Charizard X would be any worse than Hydreigon.

"Roar!"

Upon hearing this, Super Charizard X immediately fired a purple shockwave in Hydreigon's direction.

In the blink of an eye, this purple shockwave collided with that purple energy dragon.

Although at first, Super Charizard X's attack was pushed back slightly by the purple energy dragon, once it increased the output of the purple shockwave, it stalemated with it.

Just as Zhang Yu had initially thought, Super Charizard X's strength was indeed on par with Hydreigon's.

"Hiss~ This Hydreigon really seems to have something!"

"What move is this? It looks so cool!"

"Anchor said this is also Dragon Pulse? But why is its Dragon Pulse completely different from Charizard's?"

"I don't know, perhaps this is what makes this Pokémon special?"

"Wait! Didn't you notice the key point in what Anchor said? He said the words 'Pseudo-Legendary'!"

"Anchor did say that, and he was clearly talking about Hydreigon. So, this Hydreigon is that 'Pseudo-Legendary'?"

"Of course I heard it, but what exactly does that term mean?"

"Perhaps it's similar to what someone mentioned earlier about a demigod?"

"If that's truly the case, then it does seem to explain why Anchor was so cautious when dealing with it."

"It's just that Anchor's luck is a bit too bad, isn't it? He inexplicably got into a fight with this Hydreigon."

"Compared to other Pokémon, this Hydreigon is really too irritable."

"Yeah, it's just a hot-headed guy, the kind that acts without a word."

"Huh? No way? This Hydreigon actually drew with Charizard? It really does have something!"

"It's not just a draw; at the very beginning, it even had a slight advantage."

"Indeed, from this point of view, this Hydreigon is truly formidable. Not to mention what Anchor called a Pseudo-Legendary, it really is that kind of existence between ordinary Pokémon and Legendary Pokémon!"

"It seems that's the only way to explain it."

After witnessing the first exchange between Hydreigon and Super Charizard X, the Water Friends were immediately astonished.

Hydreigon proved its extraordinary nature with its strength!

Moreover, the words Zhang Yu spoke also caught their attention.

This made them even more certain that this Pokémon called Hydreigon was not simple.

"Super Charizard X, use Dragon Dance!"

After both sides' offensives had weakened, Zhang Yu immediately shouted at Super Charizard X.

As his words fell, a layer of purple energy mist immediately appeared around Super Charizard X and was absorbed into its body.

"Roar!"

"Snarl!"

Upon seeing this situation, Hydreigon immediately let out an exceptionally loud sound towards Super Charizard X, accompanied by a black energy wave.

In the blink of an eye, Super Charizard X was enveloped by this black energy wave, causing a red light to flash across its body.

"Tsk, it's Snarl?"

"Super Charizard X, charge forward and use Dragon Claw!"

Upon seeing this scene, Zhang Yu couldn't help but curl his lips.

This Hydreigon actually knew Snarl, a move that can lower Special Attack. Fortunately, he was already planning to change his attack method, otherwise, being caught off guard by that would have been quite a headache.

His only regret was that Super Charizard X hadn't learned extremely useful speed-boosting moves like Agility. Otherwise, the upcoming battle would have been even easier.
