Knights of the Elf World

Chapter 113 The first confrontation with Itaki!

"What's wrong with Xiaozhi? It's been three days and we haven't even seen their shadow." Xichen said speechlessly at the dinner table.

"Is it possible that the people you are waiting for are lost?" Naz said calmly while eating the food in front of her elegantly.

"Well... if it's Xiaozhi and the others, it's really possible." Xichen nodded when he thought of Xiaozhi's even more exaggerated ability to get lost than himself. Then he quickly finished the food in front of him, stood up and walked out of the Pokémon Center. "Forget it, I won't wait any longer. I'm going to challenge the gym first."

"Wait, I'm going too."

"No need, I've already checked. Only one person can enter the Tokiwa Gym at a time, so if you go there, you'll just have to wait outside."

After hearing this, Nancy didn't say anything else. Instead of waiting boredly outside the gym, it would be better to stay comfortably in the Pokémon Center.

Outside Tokiwa Gym......

"Stop! What are you doing?"

Two guards stopped Xichen and let him pass after learning that he was coming to challenge the gym.

"Oh~ Are you the challenger this time?" As soon as he entered the gym, a mature and calm voice was heard, followed by a beam of light shining on the platform opposite Xichen, and a man with a crew cut and wearing a black suit was seen standing on it.

"Yes, I'm here to get the last badge that belongs to me!" Xichen looked at Banmu indifferently, and Banmu was also looking at Xichen. Although neither of them had revealed their identities yet, they both knew clearly who the other was.

"Let's get started. The rule here is that you can only use three Pokémon. The other rules remain unchanged. Let's go with Rhydon for the first one." Banmu casually threw out a Poké Ball, the white light dissipated, and a strong Rhydon appeared on the field.

"As expected of Banmu, this is much stronger than that biker gang's Rhydon." Xichen looked at Rhydon and said secretly, then threw out the Poké Ball, "Gyarados, take this battle for me!"

"Roar!" The ferocious red dragon appeared with a roar.

"Oh~ Your Gyarados is quite special, and it doesn't even have the Intimidate attribute." Banmu looked at the Shiny Gyarados with interest and then gestured to Xichen, "The challenger attacks first."

"Gyarados, use Dragon Dance!" Xichen adopted a more conservative style of play, letting Shiny Gyarados strengthen its own attributes first. Upon hearing this, Shiny Gyarados also started dancing on the field.

"Roll." Rhydon's signature move, it retracted its limbs into a ball, and rolled quickly towards Shiny Gyarados.

"Use your water tail to whip it away!" Upon hearing this, Shiny Gyarados stopped dancing, then raised its tail covered with water, and whipped it at Rhydon at the right moment. Even though Rhydon was very heavy, it was still whipped away by the strengthened Shiny Gyarados' tail.

"Water Cannon!" Xichen took advantage of the victory and launched a fierce water cannon from Shiny Gyarados, accurately hitting Rhydon who was nowhere to escape in the air, instantly making Rhydon lose his combat ability.

Because Shiny Gyarados defeated Rhydon, its overconfidence increased its attack power again.

"The second one, go for Tyrannosaurus." After taking back the Rhydon that was unable to fight, Banmu's face remained calm. He then sent out his second Pokémon, a Tyrannosaurus with a single horn on its head and a gray body.

"Gyarados, continue the fight!" Seeing this, Xichen was not prepared to replace Shiny Gyarados.

"Rock blockade." The Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus raised its hand and summoned several rocks, smashing them towards the Shining Gyarados.

"Dodge it. If you can't dodge it, smash it to pieces!" Gyarados have flying attributes. If they are hit by these things, they will suffer great damage.

The red body of Shiny Gyarados was seen wandering around the field, constantly dodging the rocks flying towards it, and when it encountered one it couldn't avoid, it would smash it with its water tail.

"Shoot it down." Just as Shiny Gyarados was dodging the rock, Banmu gave another order. Tyrannosaurus threw a rock and hit Shiny Gyarados accurately. Shiny Gyarados screamed in pain.

"Oh no!" Xichen thought to himself. Originally, relying on the Flying attribute of Shiny Gyarados, he could be immune to ground-type special moves. However, after being shot down, he would be hit by ground-type special moves. Moreover, he also knew another title of Banmu, Banmu of the Earth!

"Drill straight." The horns on the head of the Tyrannosaurus Rex spun quickly, and then it rushed towards the Shining Gyarados.

"Tsk, water cannon!" Seeing the oncoming Tyrannosaurus Rex, Shining Gyarados once again sprayed out a powerful water cannon. Unexpectedly, Tyrannosaurus Rex actually used the rotating horns on its head to disperse the water cannon, and finally hit Shining Gyarados.

"Ice Fang!"

"Stomp." Just as a chill rose from Shiny Gyarados' mouth, it was stepped on by Tyrannosaurus. The intense pain almost made it faint, but with its last breath, it bit Tyrannosaurus. An explosion sounded, and when the smoke and dust cleared, both Pokémon had lost their ability to fight.

"Thank you for your hard work, Gyarados." After taking back the Shiny Gyarados, Xichen said to the Poké Ball.

"Clap clap clap!"

At this moment, a burst of applause rang out. Xichen turned around and saw that Banmu, who was originally sitting on the podium, had stood up and applauded Xichen.

"As expected of Dr. Xichen, he is indeed very powerful."

"Same here, Mr. Banmu." Xichen said calmly, "Let's start the next game quickly. I'm anxious to get the badge."

"Young people are impatient." Banmu shook his head and asked Xichen, "Do you think the world we live in is real? Do you think the Elf Alliance is really just?"

"What are you talking about?" Xichen frowned and looked at Banmu, not understanding what this uncle was talking about.

"Xichen, actually, you and I are the same kind of people! We both have eyes that are good at seeing through the essence of the world, so let us explore the truth of this world! Let us expose the true darkness covered up by the Alliance! So, join me, join Team Rocket!"

-“…Is this what you want to say, Mr. Banmu?” After a moment of silence, Xichen remained as calm as ever.

"Why? You don't seem all that surprised."

"Are you surprised about your identity? Come on, those idiots on Team Rocket keep saying 'Boss Banmu'. I already knew your identity a long time ago." Xichen made up an excuse and said.

"These idiots!" Banmu said fiercely, and then continued to say to Xichen, "So what do you think?"

"Why do you want me to join Team Rocket?" Xichen asked back.

"Because you are very talented!" Banmu frankly stated the reason for wanting to recruit Xichen. "I admire both your research talent and your talent as a trainer. You are the future rising star of this era, and I am also curious about the mysterious Pokémon on you. As long as you join Team Rocket, I can even promise you the position of leader in the future and let you stand at the top of the world!"

"Haha, what a great condition." Xichen suddenly laughed out loud.

"Are you moved? I knew we were the same, Xichen!"

"Are you so sure that I will agree?" Xichen snorted coldly, "You wouldn't have noticed me so quickly in the past, but I didn't expect that you have been observing me. Whether it's my Pokémon or my identity as a researcher, you have already found out everything about me. Banmu, since you said you understand me, you should know that there is absolutely no way I will agree. You said that the alliance is dark, so I will remove this darkness myself, and I will rely on myself and my Pokémon to stand at the top of this world, not on you and your Team Rocket!"

"I think so." Banmu sighed, "But after all, talents are hard to come by. It's been a long time since I've seen anyone I admire so much, so I still have to give it a try."

"Dream on!" Xichen said angrily, "Based on the evil deeds you have committed against Pokémon, I will never forgive you! Little V, Machine Tyrannosaurus, Garurumon, Garurumon, Blastoise, come out!"

Xichen directly sent out his strongest fighting force, because he knew that the next one he would face was Mewtwo!

"Are these the three mysterious Pokémon?" Banmu looked at Little V and the others. "But it's useless. In front of it, all your mysterious Pokémon and all your efforts are in vain! Go, let our Dr. Xichen see what true terror is!"

hum!

There was a sudden strange vibration in the venue, and the one who appeared in front of Xichen was none other than Mewtwo in armor.

"So I still have to fight you? Mewtwo..." Xichen murmured.

Little did he know that this sentence made Banmu's face change suddenly.

"You actually know Mewtwo? What else do you know?" Banmu lost his composure in front of Xichen for the first time, "Could it be that..."

"Heh, who knows. Everyone, come on!" Xichen's Pokémon moved, aiming directly at Banmu.

"Don't push your luck! Giant Crab, Big Cat, go play with this little brother!"

"Knock knock~"

"Meow!"

Banmu threw out his two Pokémon, and a melee began!

Garchomp led Blastoise to find Itaki's two Pokémon. Although they couldn't gain the upper hand for a while, they were basically tied.

These two Pokémon of Banmu are definitely not as useless as they were in the original story when they fought against Xiaomao. They are very powerful! The cat boss can even fight against Garchomp to a draw.

Mewtwo, wearing armor, floated towards Xichen.

Garurumon was digging the ground restlessly, its hair standing on end. The armor on Machinedramon's chest opened, ready to release the Ultimate Destroyer Cannon at any time. Little V was staring at Mewtwo coldly.

The battle here is about to break out!

"Awoo!" Garurumon took the lead in charging. It jumped high and fired a fox flame.

"Roar!" Machine Tyrannosaurus also released his ultimate move, the Ultimate Destruction Cannon, and two missiles fired directly at Mewtwo.

"Roar!!!" Little V used the Phantom Dragon Impact without any hesitation.

Bang!

However, Mewtwo simply held his hands up and blocked all three Pokémon's attacks, and bounced V back.

"I still underestimated Mewtwo." Xichen finally understood at this moment how big the gap is between Little V and the perfected forms of Mewtwo. These are legendary beasts that cannot be measured by common sense!

Perhaps, only the Royal Knights are qualified to challenge the divine beasts.

"Xiaochen!" The unyielding Little V stood up again and looked at Xichen. Xichen of course knew what he meant. His eyes instantly turned golden, and the power of super-control was connected to Little V at this time. Little V was wrapped in golden light, and his whole body changed inside.

"Is this your special ability? It's so dazzling!" Banmu exclaimed. Once upon a time, he also possessed special powers.

"The Royal Knights, Magnamon, report!" With the help of Xichen's super-power, Little V evolved into Magnamon again. Although it was temporary, at least this time, Little V's body could adapt to the power of Magnamon.

"It's this Pokémon again." Mewtwo thought secretly. It had seen Little V and Ancient Dragonite fighting before, so it naturally knew that Little V should not be underestimated.

"But now, I am still stronger!"

Buzz! A strong mental shock swept through the entire Tokiwa Gym, and the walls of the gym began to peel off and shatter into pieces!

"Hmph! Don't underestimate me, Extreme Holy War!" Little V shrank his body, then suddenly opened up, golden light bursting out from his whole body, and began to block Mewtwo's mental power.

"Awoo!" Garurumon and MetalGreymon were not idle either, and each released their own special moves.

boom!

After the powerful explosion, Mewtwo was still unharmed.

"I've told you, this struggle is useless!" Banmu opened his arms and said crazily.

"Damn it!" Xichen gritted his teeth, "I haven't lost yet! Banmu, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have Mewtwo. Show me my power! The power of superpowers!"

A golden beam of light shot out from Xichen, connecting all Pokémon except Xiao V. In an instant, all of Xichen's Pokémon felt a surge of power rushing into their bodies.

"Gah!" After a long battle, Land Shark finally stepped on the cat boss.

"Kami!" Blastoise also knocked out Giant Crab with a water cannon. From then on, Itaki's two Pokémon were the first to be defeated.

"Finally, this is my power, the Gravel of Judgment!" Between Xichen's hands, holy white light began to gather, "Little V, Garurumon, Machine Tyrannosaurus, merge our powers!"

Little V was the first to merge his own power into it, which was a golden energy in the shape of a dragon. Then, Garurumon condensed wolf-shaped energy and sent it into Xichen's hands. Finally, Machinedramon spit out a red dragon-shaped flame and merged in together.

"Go!" Xichen madly pushed the last gravel of punishment towards Mewtwo.

"Oh no!" A powerful light flashed, and the armor on Mewtwo's body was instantly decomposed into nothingness. Then Mewtwo was hit by the powerful energy and fell to the ground.
