Pokémon: My Dad is Kyurem

Chapter 19: The Beginning of Iron Dumbbell and Qi Hao's Unbridled Self-Improvement

"Gold? (Son, are you alright?)" The Megalodon leader stared at Iron Dumbbell in astonishment, never expecting that Qi Hao's reckless move would actually work.

"Ring? (Dad, what's wrong with you?)" Iron Dumbbell asked tentatively.

"Of course it was your older brother who did it!" Qi Hao said confidently. He hadn't expected that the Burning Soul could make him so much stronger.

"Host, aren't you underestimating your strength techniques? You're at least dozens of times stronger now."

[(?▂?) That's outrageous, okay? What about later? This is only the beginner level!]

"(???) Aren't you underestimating the Burning Soul? This is the power to control demons! Although there are no demons in this world. But don't overthink it."

[What?! How overpowered will I become? Ash was already able to break Mewtwo's psychic barrier when he was ten. Should I just kill Mewtwo outright?]

"(*?▽?*) Okay, okay, just kidding. Mere power generation techniques aren't enough to achieve that level of strength. The key is that the more excited you are and the greater your emotional fluctuations, the stronger you become. Tens of times is about the limit. The fact that you could hit the Metagross leader shows you really have a lot to say. But it's mainly because you've just awakened; you'll have a burst of power. To achieve this again, you'll have to wait until your initial Burning Soul becomes your ultimate Burning Soul."

[(｀へ′) You have the nerve to say that? Wasn't my weakened emotional control also caused by the Burning Soul?]

"(???) So, is it possible that you were just naturally this reckless? The negative effect of the Burning Soul in the Frozen Wasteland wasn't even triggered."

[I won't listen.] Narrator: He's getting anxious, he's getting anxious.

"Ring! (Big brother! You really are my big brother! You can even beat my dad!)" Iron Dumbbell walked over with difficulty, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Oh, it's not that great! I'm a little embarrassed." Qi Hao immediately cheered up after hearing this, after all, he's just a kid... my foot! How can someone who's lived for over twenty years act like a child!

"By the way, your primary task right now is to break through level 20. That way, after you evolve, you'll have a body and two claws. Walking on your fingers like this is too strenuous." Qi Hao immediately became serious, picking up the iron dumbbell again. Anyway, it was easy to carry, so it didn't matter. (Again, the iron dumbbell weighs 95kg)

"Son! Your father is back!" A voice called out from the sky. It was Kyurem calling out!

Then a blue figure descended from the sky. "Thud!" It landed heavily, sending snowflakes flying everywhere.

As the snow and fog dissipated, Kyurem's ferocious face was revealed. (▼皿▼)

“(?) Ring! (Big brother? Who is he?! How scary, he can even speak human language!!)” Iron Dumbbell was so scared when he first saw Kyurem that he hid behind Qi Hao.

"Dad, you seem to have scared the elves again. Why are you being so fierce?" Qi Hao said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Is it my fault?" Kyurem said helplessly. He was just used to it, okay?

“(?) Ring! (Is he your father? No wonder he could knock your father away!)” Iron Dumbbell gradually understood everything.

"Your comprehension is pretty good! Although it's not entirely correct, it's fine if you interpret it this way." Qi Hao was impressed by Tie Dumbbell's comprehension ability, which was much better than his father's.

"Born so soon? Looks like a good kid! Hahaha, Metagross! You come here too, your wife is saved." Kyurem, with the discerning eye of a legendary Pokémon, could naturally see that Metagross was excellent and very suitable to be his son's first Pokémon. He also called over the Metagross leader.

(Fun fact: Metagross can evolve at level 45, making it one of the most suitable pseudo-legendary Pokémon to use as your first Pokémon, while Hydreigon, another pseudo-legendary, requires level 64.)

"Gold! (What's the solution! Lord Kyurem, tell me quickly!)" The Metagross leader was impatient.

"When your wife is about to die, I'll freeze her first. After that, it'll be up to Ho-Oh. As long as the Pokémon's level is sealed to 10, and then you climb Mount Everest barehanded, Ho-Oh will revive one of you. Of course, the success rate is very low. Humans can't use protective gear, but they can't seal levels because humans don't have levels," Kyurem said.

[(?–?)? Do humans have no social hierarchy?]

"Um, well, I can explain, I'm new here and not very familiar with the work, so..."

[┻╰（‵□′）╯You can even get the data wrong!]

"(o﹏o?) No, no, I just initially mistook you for a spirit, which is why there was a question mark after your level. Actually, I changed it back a long time ago, but you never looked at it."

[(｀へ′) I'll let it slide since you've been obedient and haven't caused any trouble, but I hope you won't make the same mistake again next time, or I'll be the first to go find Palkia.] (Space God, you know what I mean. ??????)

"Okay, host. No problem, host."

"Gold? (Wait? Human?)" The Metagross leader realized its mistake, looking at its arm, which was slightly dented from Qi Hao's attack. "Gold? (Are you sure you're not mistaken?)"

"That's right, my son is the biggest loophole here! Growing up in the freezing cold, he has an extraordinary physique, and harsh weather is no problem for him. When he grows up, he might not even get hurt if he jumps off the mountaintop," Kyurem said proudly.

“(????) Ring! (Big brother! I’m counting on you! I’ll follow you from now on! Please help me save my mother!)” Iron Dumbbell felt that hope was right beside him at this moment!

"Although I think you shouldn't rely on me, you should go by yourself... but no problem, little brother! Who says I'm not your older brother! Leave it to me! Our primary goal is to help you evolve! You must become a Metagross even stronger than your dad! Of course! As your older brother, I will definitely help you! Elbow! Go find your godmother to get some nutrition!" With that, he grabbed the iron dumbbell and went straight to his godmother. When it came to nutrition, his godmother was the most qualified to speak on the subject!

Thus, Iron Dumbbell truly became Qi Hao's underling.

“Hey you over there, stop hiding. We’ll be peers when I’m planning to send my son over there. There’s no need to hide.” Kyurem looked at the snow hut on the side.

Then, Song Chenggong walked out from behind the snow house, trembling, followed by the respectful Lucario, after all, he had been knocked down with a slap.

"Senior, you mustn't be joking. Our school is incredibly fortunate to have your son as a student. As for being on the same level as a divine beast, that's absolutely out of the question. It would really shorten my lifespan." Song Chenggong panicked. Being on the same level as a divine beast was no good at all. The other party was probably thousands of years old.

"Hahaha, you're smart to know what's good for you. If you dare to keep it, I'll beat you up." Kyurem directly resorted to underhanded tactics! Just kidding, I was only being polite with you. You think you can just accept my offer?

"So, when does Qihao start school?" Song Chenggong asked cautiously.

"(▼▽▼) Have you forgotten what certificate you gave him? After he finishes elementary school, come and let us know. He can take the exam directly and then be assigned to a middle school class. Don't waste time on elementary school stuff. He wants to be a trainer, and what trainers need to learn, can you be more professional than us?" Kyurem saw that he had no intention of sending Qi Hao to school.

"Um, let me think... student ID, national ID, and... I don't need a school qualification certificate? Oh no, this is terrible." Song Chenggong was dumbfounded. How could he be so trustworthy? "(? ˙o˙)? Well, I won't bother you anymore, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he grabbed Lucario and ran towards the car.

Kyurem didn't try to stop him, indicating that the Metagross leader could leave, and then flew towards home.
