Chapter 293 Dragonair with talent comparable to Lance's Dragonite, Gary and Shinji's teamwork!

The Dragonite family occupies the largest area on the entire inner island. According to Ash's estimate, even the Salamence family, which is also a pseudo-legendary, occupies less than half the area of ​​Dragonite.

Theoretically, this place should also have the most talented Pokémon on the entire Dragon Island, since Dragon Island is still within the Kanto region, and this place is still the territory of the Dragonite family.

As for why Ash knew they were still in Kanto, it was naturally because of his sensitivity to distance. He could sense the speed of the Dragonite he was riding and how far it had flown through the stimulation of his skin.

This doesn't even require conscious awareness; it can be done purely through instinct.

Therefore, Dragonite still has a certain advantage in Kanto. However, another reason why Ash doesn't want to join the Dragonite family is that there is a super-sized Dragonite waiting for him in another part of Kanto.

He promised the other party that he would definitely go back to find him within six months and have a battle with him. Regardless of the outcome, he would help the other party return to normal size so that the other party could survive well in the modern world.

Previously, it would have taken Gardevoir until it reached Elite Four level and combined with its Aura power to possibly restore the ancient Dragonite to normal. But now, with Mewtwo's involvement, there's no need for any fancy tricks. Just sending Mewtwo over, whether it's shrinking the opponent or defeating it, is a piece of cake.

Ash still wanted Gardevoir to battle the other player, because it was already arranged, and if Gardevoir won, the other player would become his Pokémon.

The addition of the ancient Dragonite was practically a done deal, so Ash hadn't even considered joining the Dragonite clan, but it turned out he was coming anyway.

Upon entering the territory of the Dragonite clan, a group of Dragonite all turned their gazes toward them. Their eyes, however, showed no sign of life or ferocity, only gentleness.

From Dratini to Dragonite, the three forms of this species can be summed up in one word: gentle.

As long as you don't offend them, it's no exaggeration to say that they are one of the gentlest races in the world. The same race is the Goomei Dragons of the Carlos region. Both of these races are known for being very kind and gentle.

Ash greeted the many Dragonite with a smile, and Pikachu waved back with a smile from Ash's shoulder, receiving a smiling response from the Dragonite family.

In Mewtwo's perception, the God-level Dragonite didn't make any moves, which seemed to indicate that they could enter the group, or perhaps Lance had informed them in advance.

In any case, the best thing is that coming here didn't cause any commotion.

After exchanging greetings, Ash began to select from among the many Dragonite Pokémon to see if there was one that suited his taste, but unfortunately, he still couldn't find one.

However, to be fair, Dragonite's talent is indeed generally quite high, with the best one even having an S rank.

With a +5A configuration, this talent is outstanding even among pseudo-gods.

Look at Adu's Dragonite, it's only a double S-rank talent, so a single S-rank plus five A-rank talents might be the highest talent in the entire Dragon Island, apart from that God-level Dragonite.

But Ash still didn't choose to continue, and instead kept going. In the Dragonite family, besides Dragonite, there are also Dragonair and Dratini, and compared to Dragonite, there are more varieties!

When Ash arrived at the habitat of Dragonair, he saw a wonder.

A group of Hakuryu, their bodies gleaming with azure light, soared into the sky. These pseudo-legendary Hakuryu, rarely seen in the past, were now a dozen or twenty in number, each exuding a divine radiance.

A flock of Dragonair taking off together is even more spectacular than a flock of Dragonite taking off together.

But after the initial shock, Ash noticed that one of the Dragonairs didn't fly up with the others; she just looked at them with envy, her eyes filled with longing.

"What's with that Dragonair? Can't it fly?" Ash scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

The next second, Hakron's information appeared in his mind.

【Species: Hakkarosaurus】

[Gender: Female]

[Attribute: Dragon]

[Level: Elite Intermediate]

【Characteristic: Miracle Scales】

[Skills: Tornado, Electromagnetic Wave, Dragon Dive, Rain Dance, Mystic Protection ————]

[Six-dimensional abilities: Physical Attack A (S), Special Attack B (A), Defense B (A), Special Defense C (A), HP C (A), Speed ​​A]

(S)

With two S and four A, this is the most talented Dragon-type Pokémon Ash has ever seen since arriving on Dragon Island. But even with such a Dragon-type Pokémon evolving, it still can't fly.

"Ooh~~" One of the Dragonite in the group next to Ash let out a cry. Ash was stunned for a moment, then turned to the Dragonite and asked.

"You mean, this Dragonair can't fly anymore after evolving? And even on Dragon Island, its progress is very slow?"

Ash's words startled the Dragonite that had spoken. Then it realized that Ash could understand it. Other Dragonites nearby also looked at Ash with surprise.

They had seen people who could understand the speech of elves before, but those were all members of the Dragon Tamer Clan. Most members of the Dragon Tamer Clan possessed the power of dragon taming, which not only enhanced the power of dragon-attribute elves but also allowed them to communicate with them and understand their language.

However, this only applies to dragon-type spirits; the Dragon Tamer clan seems to be a family born specifically for dragon-type spirits.

Aside from the Dragonkin, Dragonite and his companions had never seen anyone else who could understand Elven language. It was truly rare, or rather, they had never seen anyone like it before.

"Woo~ woo~" Since Ash can understand what they are saying, they don't mind telling Ash everything about that Dragonair.

That Dragonair entered from the outer perimeter of Dragon Island. There are pseudo-gods on the outer perimeter of Dragon Island, but their talents are generally not very good. Even in the Pokémon world, there is a clear hierarchy.

For elves, the criteria for judging talent are very simple: see how quickly you evolve and how fast your strength increases. That's all.

Compared to humans, the standards for judging elves are much simpler; they simply look at the rate at which their strength increases. Therefore, misjudgments are more frequent for elves than for humans.

This Hakkarosaurus is one example of a misjudgment.

On the outside, this Dratini evolved into Dragonair at an incredible speed. In terms of the speed of its evolution, few Dratini could evolve as fast as it could without a trainer.

Therefore, she was directly deemed qualified to reside on the inner island of Dragon Island. On the inner island, not only would the power of the dragon attribute increase more rapidly, but also due to the competition among members of the same race, it would increase even more quickly, which should have been the case.

However, this Dragonair has been progressing at a very slow pace since entering the inner island, and it also cannot fly.

It's normal for Dratini not to be able to fly, but if it still can't fly by the time it reaches Dragonair, that's a bit unreasonable.

Hakkarosaurus does not rely on wings to fly, but rather on the power of weather manipulation, flying with the wind. Some Hakkarosaurus can also enlarge the wings on both sides of their heads and fly using those wings, but only exceptionally gifted Hakkarosaurus can do that.

A dragon that can't even control the wind would find it impossible to fly using the wings on its head. So this dragon is clearly the type that improves quickly in the early stages but slowly later on, and its talent is actually quite average.

However, since this is a Dragonite, not the more aggressive Salamence, this Dragonair was able to stay here.

However, even though the Dragonite clan did not drive this Dragonair away, the Dragonair felt very inferior because of the gap between herself and her companions. She made many efforts, even if she could not improve her strength, at least she could fly!

Contrary to her wishes, not only did her strength continue to improve slowly, but she also couldn't fly anymore, and to this day, she still doesn't know why.

After listening to the Dragonite's explanation, Ash also looked at the Dragonair with a strange gaze. What he found strange was that this Dragonair's talent was so good. In terms of talent, Mr. Lance's ace Dragonite was only about the same level as her. Why did this Dragonair perform so poorly?

Strangely enough, most of the elves he encountered seemed to be the kind of beings who were considered to have poor talent, but in reality, their talent was explosive.

Whether it's Pikachu, which no one cares about, Charmander, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, or Chimchar that was recently acquired, they are all considered to lack talent.

Now there's one more: the Hakron right in front of us.

Despite his exceptional talent, his performance was utterly lackluster, mirroring the very Pokémon he had captured. This piqued Ash's interest; could it be that—

"Leave it to me, I'll make her fly!" Ash patted his shoulder and said to the group of Dragonite. Then Ash slowly walked towards the dejected Dragonair.

Meanwhile, Shinji and Gary are battling a Salamence, one of the gatekeepers guarding the entrance to the inner island.

When they arrived at the island, the two already knew that the most talented and powerful elves were all located in the center of the island, because although the maps they obtained differed, they all had one thing in common: there was no central area.

Furthermore, after Dragonite brought them to the island, a member of the Dragon Tamer clan specifically spoke to them about the distinction between the inside and outside of the island.

They not only need to find the entrance to the inner island, but also pass the dragon's trial at the entrance before they can enter the inner island.

The two were actually placed quite far apart, and it was purely by chance that they were able to meet at this entrance. It was precisely because of this that they were able to undergo the test together.

The test is simple, but not easy. It's simple because you can enter by defeating the gatekeeper. It's not easy because you can only use one Pokémon at a time. If your Pokémon is defeated, the test is considered a failure, and you are not allowed to attempt it a second time.

The gatekeeper was a Salamence at the Elite Four level. With a pseudo-legendary Elite Four member serving as the gatekeeper, it would have been virtually impossible for anyone to enter the inner island if it weren't for monsters like Shinji and Ash in this generation.

Even Shinji wasn't 100% confident that he could defeat Salamence with Torterra, because his Torterra had been through quite a few battles in a day and wasn't at its peak.

This is also why Shinji chose to team up with Gorilla.

One person can only use one Pokémon at a time, but multiple people can take the test together, which means that a fair two-on-one battle is possible!

After Shining's Blastoise Mega Evolves, it will have the strength of a high-level gym leader. It may not be suitable as a main battle unit, but it's definitely good as a support unit.

In order to gain 100% access to Dragon Island, the two people who didn't really get along ultimately chose to cooperate, after all—they didn't have any real conflicts.

"Blastoise, use Water Gun to stop him!"

"Kame!!" Two thick jets of water shot out, stopping the battered Salamence from taking off into the sky.

"Torterra, Harden Plant." The moment Salamence landed at low altitude, Shinji immediately had Torterra unleash its Grass-type ultimate move, Harden Plant.

Grass-type moves are resisted by Salamence by four times, which is why Shinji wasn't confident he could defeat Salamence with Torterra. However, this time the hardened plant wasn't meant to damage Salamence, but rather to control it!

Several thorny green plants burst forth from the ground, and thick vines tightly wrapped around the wings and limbs of the Salamence. The Salamence struggled fiercely and tore many of the vines apart, but it was eventually brought under control for a short time!

"Now! Freeze Ray!" Shigeru shouted, seizing the opportunity.

Blastoise bent its body slightly, and ice-type energy was frantically gathering in the three cannons. Salamence felt a deadly threat, and it struggled even more with its limbs and wings. The hardened plant, which was already on the verge of shattering, was finally torn apart by Salamence's frantic struggle!

"Don't even think about leaving, Earth Platform Turtle!"

"Metta!" Just as Salamence was about to take off, Torterra squeezed out its power and stretched out a thick vine from the ground, binding one of Salamence's legs. Salamence, which was about to escape, was restrained for a moment. At that moment, Blastoise fired three icy blue beams from its cannon!

"Go, Blastoise!!"

"Kame!!"

"Boom!!" The freezing beam hit!

Salamence has 4x resistance to Grass-type moves, but—it's 4x weak to Ice, just like Dragonite!
