She actually always worried that Baimu wouldn't be able to integrate into the younger generation of Dragon Tamers because growing up in different environments, their divergent ways of thinking could easily lead to conflicts.
But now it seems, nothing concerning has happened.
Being able to battle Pokémon to this degree, surely, with the kids' personalities, they would greatly admire Baimu.
Their gaze returned to the battlefield.
Baimu swiftly got up, completely unscathed, and the leisurely Molten Rock Armor crafted by Magma Team was more resistant than expected, not even the residual shock of the explosion could affect him.
Smoke and dust filled the surroundings.
But he didn't mind much, just covered his mouth and nose, carefully observing the battlefield.
However.
Before Baimu could assess the situation within the smoke and dust, the roars of Garchomp and Hydreigon suddenly came, like a pounding drum. The sound waves instantly dispersed the smoke and dust!
They saw in the chaotic battlefield, the two massive Dragon Beasts each positioned on either side in mid-air, breathing heavily and glaring at each other.
Both surrounded by dense smoke, their bodies covered with various small bruises and burns, but compared to these, their physical exhaustion was far more severe.
In the head-on clash of Dragon Dive against Dragon Dive, both sides faced extremely harsh challenges to their stamina.
However, Garchomp's Physical Attack talent far surpasses Hydreigon's, being able to tie in the clash is enough to prove how powerful Hydreigon truly is.
"Feather Rest!"
Upon obtaining the result, Baimu immediately issued a command.
Hydreigon unhesitatingly landed on the ground, its body enveloped in white light, energy-formed white feathers slowly drifting down, and as they touched its body, they constantly produced circle after circle of radiant green healing waves.
The weak aura quickly recovered.
Meanwhile, as Garchomp awaited Zheng Fang's command, seeing Hydreigon's state gradually recovering, in a panic, it took the initiative to raise its fin to attack!
It must interrupt its Feather Rest!
"Kapow!"
Garchomp swung its radiant green fin, roaring loudly, as if jets of air would burst out from between its scales, flying swiftly toward Hydreigon. Although its stamina had sharply reduced, its actions seemed barely affected.
But just as it reached in front of Hydreigon, about to strike, behind it came Zheng Fang's shout.
"Quick, dodge!"
Garchomp suddenly paused, then saw Hydreigon using its left and right heads to tightly bite down on its swinging fin!
Boom! Boom!
Dragon Attribute Energy caused erosion on Hydreigon, suddenly bursting into two clouds of smoke.
But it also made Garchomp's fins firmly held, unable to dodge Hydreigon's nearly point-blank attack from its central head!
"The final Dragon's Pulse."
Baimu calmly issued the command.
The three-colored Dragon Flame surged out from Hydreigon's central mouth, repeatedly washing over Garchomp's body, and as Hydreigon released its fins, it transformed into a huge and fierce Energy Winged Dragon, pushing Garchomp up into the sky.
Boom!
The Energy Winged Dragon exploded like an Explosive Bullet, transforming into an incredibly spectacular fireworks!
"Ah... oh..."
Zheng Fang, looking quite disheveled due to the impact, saw the scene and helplessly supported his forehead.
It seems not only is there a gap between dragons and dragons, but even between Dragon Tamers.
Zheng Fang didn't feel that Baimu issuing a command before he was ready was a despicable thing, after all, dragon and Dragon Tamer are one.
In the cloud of smoke in the sky.
The unconscious Garchomp fell into the deep crater in the battlefield, its two golden dragon eyes replaced by black circles.
"You win! Your Hydreigon is much stronger than I imagined!"
Zheng Fang came to Garchomp's side, gently comforting it before speaking to Baimu: "Maybe only someone as talented as you can bear the glorious history of the Meteor People."
"—Ah? What do you mean?"
Baimu was a bit stunned, not quite understanding what Zheng Fang was saying; do Meteor People's words of praise always sound this strange?
But before he could ask in detail, the young Dragon Tamers who were watching came up admiringly, continuously praising him and Hydreigon, their faces showing signs of respect.
Dragon Tamers often aim extremely high and admire strength a lot; no matter Baimu's previous situation, as long as he and Hydreigon are strong, that's all that matters.
Then.
Surrounded by a crowd, Baimu brought Hydreigon to the Pokémon Center in Meteor Village.
Here, naturally, there was no Miss Joy, but the medical facilities were fully equipped, not inferior to those outside, and those responsible for Pokémon treatment were certified doctors.
Rather than ancient traditional witch doctors.
Baimu and Zheng Fang chatted while waiting, from how Hydreigon was cultivated to why he only had one Dragon-type Pokémon.
"As a Dragon Tamer, how can you not cultivate more Dragon-type Pokémon?"
Even Zheng Fang, who seemed the most composed, spoke seriously: "Although the village currently has no Dragon-type Pokémon to assign to you, there's plenty in Meteor Falls! If you have time in the afternoon, why not check it out? Coincidentally, we're going to patrol Meteor Falls."
Eldegoss nodded seriously, "Exactly!"
"Uh, I have a different idea."
He directly skipped the previous topics, curiously asking: "Patrol? Isn't it..?"
"That's right, I, Eldegoss, and Lian Zuo are all part of the Village Protection Team."
Zheng Fang responded with a smile.
Eldegoss struck a muscle-showing pose, while Lian Zuo shyly scratched his head.
Baimu suddenly realized, "Ah~ So you casually used Pokémon to battle with me earlier... wasn't that a bit inappropriate?"
