Chapter 154 The Dragon Shadow Above the Nine Heavens
The wind whistled past my ears, and the scenery on both sides rushed past.
The baby dragon opened its eyes wide, not daring to miss any of the scenery around it.
This is exactly what it has always dreamed of: the feeling of flying!
The wind was very strong at high altitudes, and it felt like tiny knives on my face. However, after Ark's riding skill was upgraded to level 2, the situation improved a lot.
The baby dragon looked around in surprise, babbling excitedly.
"Are you happy, baby dragon?"
"Awoo~"
Just then, the once clear night sky suddenly darkened, the light of the stars and the moon was completely obscured, and the surroundings became pitch black.
The tropical dragon stopped its wings, hovered in mid-air, and looked around warily.
What happened?
The next moment, both the tropical dragon and the baby dragon began to tremble involuntarily.
They sensed that something extraordinary was slowly descending.
Fangzhou also felt the air around him suddenly become heavy, as if he were soaking in water, and even breathing was difficult.
In the distance, a dark dragon shadow moved among the clouds, approaching this direction.
It was clearly approaching slowly, but its speed was frighteningly fast; with every blink of an eye, it got closer.
Faced with such a being, the tropical dragon had no thought of resistance whatsoever, nor even the strength to escape. It could only stand there dumbly in mid-air, mechanically flapping its wings to maintain its balance.
This is……
Fangzhou stared wide-eyed at the approaching dragon.
Rayquaza!
Its entire body is covered in jet-black scales, and its enormous size seems to be able to cover the sky.
It moved gently, and the whole world began to tremble slightly, as if darkness itself had transformed into a dragon, reigning supreme over all things.
The black Rayquaza!
Fangzhou initially thought that Rayquaza might just be passing by, but he quickly dismissed the idea; it was clearly coming for them.
The enormous dragon head slowly raised, looking down at the tiny beings below.
A deep, resonant voice rang out beside my ear: "You must be Fang Zhou?"
Fangzhou was taken aback. How did it know his name?
Suddenly, he remembered the friend's box in the manor.
Could it be...
Sure enough, Rayquaza's voice came again, with a hint of nostalgia in his tone: "It's been many years... The descendant of an old friend, this is probably fate."
"I never expected to meet him again, not with an old friend, but with his grandson. Time flies... It feels like just yesterday I first met your grandfather."
Rayquaza's enormous body hovered, stirring up the surrounding winds and clouds.
"The last time we met, I don't know how long ago it was. He said he was going to set up a trap, a trap with a slim chance of survival, and he didn't know if he would come back, so he left a contingency plan and created the Friend Box..."
Rayquaza hovered slowly in the air, its voice continuing to echo: "Your grandfather and I made a promise that I would be responsible for guarding one side of the Box of Friends. You should have seen that thing before, right? Since we've met today, I'll help you unlock one side, but you must first pass my test."
Fang Zhou's expression turned solemn; Rayquaza's test was about to begin.
Could it be that they want me to capture Groudon and Kyogre?
Rayquaza's gaze fell on Beast Dragon.
It could sense the intense longing and envy emanating from this precious dragon.
I envy myself for being able to fly so freely in the air.
"My test will be on you, my precious dragon. I can see that it longs to fly, but the growth of a strong being should not be this slow. If it can evolve into a Salamence within twenty days and gain the ability to fly, I will not only help you unlock one side of the Friend Box, but also give you a gift."
Evolved into a Salamence in twenty days?!
Fangzhou's eyes widened in disbelief, and the baby dragon on the tropical dragon's back also looked incredulous.
Are you kidding me?
Evolving into a Salamence in twenty days? How is that possible!
These Pokémon grow very slowly; in the wild, it usually takes several years, and they may not even evolve into Salamence.
Even the legendary breeding masters cannot raise a newborn baby dragon into a Salamence within a month.
To put it conservatively, anyone who can evolve it to its final form within a year is already among the very best.
It is now virtually impossible to complete this within twenty days.
Its massive body disappeared back into the clouds, leaving the Ark no room for negotiation.
"This is a test."
Rayquaza glanced at Bellatrix again, and the air around it began to flow slowly.
As it departed, the scenery in the sky changed rapidly.
The rain poured down, lightning flashed and thunder roared, but in the blink of an eye, the sky was clear and blue again.
Ark instantly understood; it was demonstrating to Baby Dragon how to control the weather, as Rayquaza could freely control changes in the weather.
Watching the departing dragon silhouette, the baby dragon swallowed hard, its desire burning even brighter.
Change the weather with a snap of your fingers.
This is the divine!
Baby Dragon secretly made up its mind that one day it would become as strong as Rayquaza!
After Rayquaza left, Babydra lost interest in flying and Ark took it back to the manor.
Back in the cabin, Fangzhou didn't watch TV with Dasheng and the others as usual, enjoying the leisurely evening. Instead, he sat down at his desk.
The books I had just borrowed from the library that afternoon were on the table.
He opened the thick book "Analysis of Ancient Characters" and began to study it seriously.
Before he knew it, it was late at night, and Fangzhou was still sitting at his desk, reading a book and taking notes in his notebook.
In a daze, it felt like I was back in my senior year of high school, studying English desperately and preparing for the college entrance exam.
At that moment, Kirlia floated over gently with a cup of hot tea and placed it on the table.
"Thank you, Kirullian."
"Suri Suri~"
Kirlia narrowed her eyes, watching Ark study diligently, and couldn't help but recall the night she was born, when she and Ark looked through the Pokédex together.
It moved a small stool over and sat down next to it.
Seeing that it was interested, Fangzhou picked up his notebook and began to explain to it while also reviewing the material himself.
With a companion, the originally tedious content seemed to become a bit more relaxing.
On the other side, Baby Dragon lay in his little nest, his mind still filled with the scene he had witnessed that evening.
A proud dragon roams freely among the clouds, effortlessly changing the weather to its whim: torrential rain, clear skies, gales, thunderstorms...
Baby Dragon's face showed a longing expression.
According to Fangzhou, once it evolves into a Salamence, it will also have the opportunity to control the weather like that.
It secretly resolved that it must work even harder tomorrow!
The Blue Swaboon woke up rubbing its sleepy eyes and found that Ark and Kirlia were still studying in the middle of the night, while Baby Dragon was grinning foolishly, lost in thought.
The blue cotton bird shook its head and sighed.
They're a bunch of lunatics.
