Chapter 303: The Dancing Iron Warrior from the Future!
Just before the battle between Roentgencat and the mysterious Pokémon was about to begin, Romu finally arrived at the scene with Victini on his head, Mimikyu on his shoulders, and Vulpix in his arms.
The moment he saw the full sight of the Pokémon confronting the Roentgen Cat, Luo Mu's first reaction was that it was impossible.
Isn't that the paradoxical Pokémon that only appears in the Padia Pit, the Iron Warrior of the Future?!
It would be fine if Iron Bag was sleeping under the forest, but how come even a paradoxical Pokémon like Iron Warrior, which has an extremely dangerous factor, is running around on the land of Padia?
Garrote, Swampert, Dragonite, Moltres, and Rumblebird also arrived one after another and looked at the Iron Warrior vigilantly.
They knew that the Iron Warrior was very powerful, but no Pokémon chose to step forward. They just let the Roentgen Cat and the Iron Warrior confront each other, and then tacitly dispersed, preparing to offset the aftermath of the battle between the Roentgen Cat and the Iron Warrior.
They believe in the strength of the Roentgen cats, so all they have to do is take care of the logistics.
The next moment the Pokémon were ready, the battle began.
As the electric current flashed cracklingly, the muscles in the limbs of the Roentgen cat, stimulated by the electric current, bulged up. It moved so fast that it turned into an afterimage and instantly appeared in front of the Iron Warrior, biting towards the Iron Warrior with its sharp teeth shining with dazzling electric light!
In response, the Iron Warrior instantly raised his arm, and the pink-purple light on the blade burst out again, wrestling fiercely with the Thunder Fang of the Roentgen Cat.
A second before the fighting energies got out of control, a stream of data flashed through the Iron Warrior's eyes again.
The next moment, the figure of the Iron Warrior seemed to become the source of dazzling light. Countless brilliant rays of light burst out with the Iron Warrior as the center, indiscriminately destroying everything around him. The scorching heat of the light was no different from roasting a person on fire.
Thanks to its skilled combat experience, the Roentgen Cat unleashed a huge electric current to resist, but the aftermath of the confrontation between the two sides was blocked by the Pokémons at the moment it was about to hit the farm fence.
Swampert built a solid wall of mud, Dragonite created an area of strong winds, shadows emerged from under Mimikyu's skirt, and Serpentine was even more simple and brutal, directly giving birth to countless hard and crazy plants from the ground, turning them into a solid wall of tree roots for defense.
The Roentgen Cat, who was in fierce combat with the Iron Warrior, looked back with the corner of his eye. He felt relieved and couldn't help but smile.
But this smile was soon replaced by seriousness. A violent explosion roared, and the Roentgen Cat withdrew from the center of the smoke, looking at the Iron Warrior who had not shown any emotion from beginning to end and just wanted to move forward to the farm.
As the current surged, the black hair of the Roentgen cat stood up, like countless sharp swords pointing straight to the sky. Before the electricity accumulated to the extreme was about to explode, Luo Mu stopped it: "Don't use the electrical field, it will also bring a terrifying bonus to the opponent."
The Roentgen Cat paused. Although he didn't understand why the iron warrior opposite him, who obviously had nothing to do with electricity, was strengthened by the electric field, the tacit understanding and trust between him and Luo Mu still made the Roentgen Cat stop releasing the electric field and forcibly control the electricity that was about to get out of control and blast it at the iron warrior in one breath!
A dazzling flash of lightning burst out, and the golden electric current blasted towards the iron warrior like a dancing mad snake.
After analyzing the data, the Iron Warrior determined that he was no match for this attack.
A light green barrier was stretched out in front of the iron warrior, an absolute defense. As long as the strength gap was not too big, then sticking to the moves would be able to block most attacks.
In fact, the Iron Warrior did block the attack, but the moment its protective barrier collapsed, the figure of the Roentgen Cat instantly rushed over. This time it was - Crazy Volt.
The thunder seemed to have turned into a sacred battle suit, covering the body of the Roentgen Cat. The Iron Warrior didn't even have time to raise his sharp blade to defend himself. As the Roentgen Cat slammed into the Iron Warrior's body, which was even thinner than the Roentgen Cat, a huge electric current burst out instantly, wantonly destroying everything on the Iron Warrior's body.
“Pojin——!?”
This attack was very effective. The Iron Warrior's body surface was immediately covered with scorch marks from the ravages of the electric current, and for the first time he used his vocal organs to let out a painful cry.
Feeling the pain, the iron warrior with black smoke coming out of his body swung the sharp blade continuously to force back the Roentgen Cat. On the tip of the blade, spiritual energy gathered and turned into materialized thought waves that repelled everything and blasted towards the Roentgen Cat!
"Roar--"
The Roentgen cat did not get cocky. He took a deep breath, and with a majestic and domineering roar, he blasted forward along with the black waves. His loud roar formed a fierce collision with the Iron Warrior's mental shock, and for a moment, they were evenly matched.
Although Luo Mu had this feeling a long time ago, he was still amazed by the strength of the Iron Warrior. The Iron Warrior was terribly balanced in every aspect. He could use physical and special attack moves at will, and was so omnipotent that it was frightening.
However, there is still a huge gap between the Iron Warrior and the Roentgen Cat. If the Roentgen Cat had not considered that releasing electricity at full strength would destroy the surrounding roads and trees, he would have taken action long ago.
At present, it seems that the only way for the Iron Warrior to deal with large-scale attacks is to defend. As long as the Roentgen Cat releases a large-scale thunderstorm like the one against Mewtwo, it would be difficult for the Iron Warrior to withstand it with his thin body.
Just as Luo Mu was thinking about how to take down the Iron Warrior with the least impact possible, Cang Yan Ren Gui and Zhi Hui Xing, who were busy preparing breakfast ingredients, finally arrived.
When the Blue Flame Blade Demon was running, the moment the sound of armor colliding was heard, the Iron Warrior focused his attention on the Blue Flame Blade Demon.
Its voice rang out a second time.
"Po Jin——"
The Pokémon's eyes widened, and even the Roentgen Cat showed a look of surprise.
Just because this time, they could understand what the Iron Warrior was saying.
it says--
Strong, fighting, happy, sword.
Zhi Huixing accurately translated the Iron Warrior's meaning to Luo Mu through telepathy.
With the extremely limited information, and the fact that the Iron Warrior was staring at the Blue Flame Blade Ghost, he was completely unable to pay attention to any other existence.
Luo Mu felt that he seemed to understand something.
At Luo Mu's signal, the X-cat withdrew and came to the side of the Steelix.
The Iron Warrior did not make any comment on this and continued to stare at the Blue Flame Blade Demon.
"Timi~"
Victini pointed at the shining blade held by the Iron Warrior and asked Luo Mu why the blade in the Iron Warrior's hand was shaking slightly.
Luo Mu looked in the direction Victini pointed, and at this moment, he finally confirmed a fact—
The Iron Warrior probably came here to fight the Blue Flame Blade Ghost.
After making this judgment, the iron warrior's strange behavior and why he only wanted to enter the farm can be explained.
But there was only one thing that Luo Mu couldn't understand: why did the Iron Warrior know that the Cang Yan Blade Ghost was in this farm, and why was he so obsessed with entering the farm to see the Cang Yan Blade Ghost?
He felt that there must be a reason.
But before that, we have to satisfy the fighting spirit of the Iron Warrior. No, the Blue Flame Blade Demon.
Thinking of this, Luo Mu said in a deep voice: "Go, Cang Yan Blade Ghost."
After getting permission, Cang Yan Ren Gui set off.
A dark passage appeared under its body, leading to nowhere. After the passage swallowed up the body of the Blue Flame Blade Ghost, it opened not far in front of the Iron Warrior, and the figure of the Blue Flame Blade Ghost emerged.
There was no need for any communication. In just a moment, the Cang Yan Blade Demon and the Iron Warrior began to fight with their swords. For a moment, Luo Mu's ears were completely filled with the sound of metal clashing.
There were no fancy long-range attacks, at most there was a faint blue flame lingering on the flaming sword, or a pink and purple edge shining on the sharp blade.
This battle is a pure competition based on kendo skills.
The Iron Warrior's sword skills are like those of an elegant dancer. He dances around the Blue Flame Blade Demon with beautiful yet sharp sword skills. His endless sword skills can be described as a work of art.
The sword skills of the Blue Blade Ghost were a bit more plain and simple. As the two flaming swords danced, the airtight double-blade sword net suppressed the Iron Warrior so much that he had to speed up his dancing.
No matter which side they are on, they can be called kendo masters.
While watching the battle, Luo Mu looked at the pink and purple light that occasionally flashed on the Iron Warrior's blade, and it was as if he had grasped something, and his memory revived.
Hanzawa, who was from the Johto region and gave him Miltank, once said that he was saved by a hero when he encountered a ferocious Banjiras.
That hero had extremely gorgeous sword skills, and his continuous attacks, like a dance, made Bangilas retreat step by step. The pink-purple light that the "long sword" emitted made Hanze still remember it vividly after several years.
All the features fit almost perfectly, but is this Iron Warrior really the kind of Pokémon that would save people from Bankiras?
Pokémon of the future species are always rational and ruthless, and will only act according to their own goals, just like this Iron Warrior who is trying to break into the farm in order to fight the Azure Blade Demon.
While Luo Mu was thinking, the "sword fight" between the two sides also came to the final chapter.
The Blue Flame Blade Ghost took a head-on sharp slash from the Iron Warrior as the price, then swung the flaming greatsword with blue flames rising rapidly towards the Iron Warrior, who had no time to dodge due to the accumulation of injuries.
As the blazing blue flames on the flaming sword turned into sparks and scattered all over the sky, the tip of the Blue Flame Blade Ghost hovered in front of the Iron Warrior.
"Po Jin?"
The Iron Warrior looked up at the Blue Flame Blade Demon, with data streams constantly flowing through his electronic eyes. He couldn't understand why, since he had lost, the Blue Flame Blade Demon didn't deliver a final blow and scrap this body that had no value anymore?
"Slo——"
The faint voice of the Blue Flame Blade Ghost sounded.
Before the battle with him, the Iron Warrior had been suppressed by the big brother Roentgen Cat, which consumed a lot of his physical strength. His exquisite sword dance also had flaws, so he was able to win so quickly.
Next time, when you have fully recovered, we will have a kendo competition again.
The Iron Warrior, who understood the meaning of the Blue Flame Blade Demon through the language module, was stunned for a moment, and some strange feelings emerged in his organ that should be classified as the heart.
"Po Jin."
The Iron Warrior stood up and looked at the Blue Flame Blade Ghost deeply, as if he wanted to imprint it in his memory module.
It turned its back to the Blue Flame Blade Ghost and slowly walked into the wilderness.
Next time, the Blue Flame Blade Ghost will not win so easily. It will use the abilities of its own race to analyze the weaknesses of the Blue Flame Blade Ghost's sword skills, and then defeat the Blue Flame Blade Ghost with the updated sword skills.
Without Luo Mu's order, the Pokémon did not rush out to stop the Iron Warrior from leaving.
Zhihuixing looked at Luo Mu in confusion: "Master, didn't you say that it is a dangerous paradoxical Pokémon, and its mere existence will cause the collapse of the ecosystem because of its strength and abnormality?"
"Just let the Iron Warrior leave like that?"
Luo Mu looked at the Blue Flame Blade Demon's pupils, which were burning with blue flames, for a moment, and understood what Blue Flame Blade Demon meant. He smiled and said, "However, that is limited to paradoxical Pokémon that can cause the collapse of the ecosystem, isn't it?"
"That iron warrior's target is not like that iron burden. It just wants to challenge the strong in swordsmanship. I'm afraid it has been wandering around this land for quite a long time."
"But the Alliance has not reacted to its existence from beginning to end, which can only mean that it really didn't cause any damage. Of course, it is not ruled out that it killed every person and Pokémon who witnessed its destruction."
“But I think the probability is a little low.”
At this time, the Blue Flame Blade Ghost came forward. On its handsome dark purple armor, the marks left by the Iron Warrior's sharp blade were clearly visible. Luo Mu felt distressed when he saw this, and thought about what he should buy to help the Blue Flame Blade Ghost repair its armor faster.
"Slo."
The Blue Blade Ghost looked at Zhi Huixing, his voice steady and calm.
After fighting with the Iron Warrior, every time the swords intersected, it could sense the Iron Warrior's love for kendo.
Cang Yan Ren Gui can guarantee that the other party should not be like the Iron Baggage who will endlessly destroy the surrounding environment and ecology.
Luo Mu also added at this time: "Since it is not a threat, at most it just wants to fight with swords, then we can't shout "Iron Warrior, you are too powerful and have threatened the safety of the land of Padia", and then beat it to lose its combat ability, capture it into a Poké Ball, and then put it back into the Padia Pit, right?"
Silent Zhihuixing: “.”
Indeed, that is a bit weird.
In the end, the Iron Warriors' invasion of the farm ended in a false alarm. Luo Mu gave the frightened Steel Armored Crow Sanmao and the Blue Crows a more generous reward, and also made them feel embarrassed for feeling that they had played no role. They then became more serious in patrolling the farm's sky.
Luo Mu also heard from the Cang Yan Blade Ghost some information that it had dug out from the other side during the fierce battle with the Iron Warrior.
When the Blue Flame Blade Ghost asked the Iron Warrior why he knew him and came looking for him, he mentioned a few shorter words.
Mountains, caves, and Bangiras, whom they also defeated.
Through this information, Luo Mu finally confirmed how the Iron Warrior knew about the Cang Yan Blade Ghost.
The Iron Warrior probably witnessed with his own eyes the Blue Flame Blade Demon defeating Bangiras in a cave outside of Xuezha Town in a place they didn't know about. He then had the idea of challenging the Blue Flame Blade Demon's sword skills, so he traveled through mountains and rivers to track him down from Xuezha Town to Pingdie Town.
After figuring out the whole story, Luo Mu was speechless. He never thought that a trivial incident two months ago would cause the Iron Warrior to target them.
However, through this information, Luo Mu also judged that the Iron Warrior was most likely the "hero" who saved him mentioned by Banze, but Luo Mu did not contact Banze immediately.
He planned to wait until the Iron Warrior came to the farm next time to challenge the Blue Flame Blade Demon, and then ask the Iron Warrior after their battle was over. After confirming that everything was correct, he would contact Hanze to avoid any misunderstandings.
Of course, Luo Mu did not forget to contact Ye Ci and explained to her the existence of the Iron Warrior and the fact that the Iron Warrior would not actively attack people or Pokémon.
Unless that person and Pokémon are masters of kendo.
Ye Ci held a positive attitude towards the information shared by Luo Mu, saying that this might be another paradoxical Pokémon like Thunderdrum that could coexist with humans, and asked Luo Mu to go for it boldly. She would restrain and remind the Padia residents and travelers passing through the wild areas of Pingdie Town to pay attention to safety.
Luo Mu knew that Ye Ci must have misunderstood something, such as that he wanted to subdue the Iron Warrior or something - at least Luo Mu really didn't have that idea when exchanging information. Although the Iron Warrior was indeed very handsome, it was hard to say whether he could subdue him.
But it is true that the existence of the Iron Warrior has increased the possibility of further improvement for the Blue Flame Blade Ghost. In fact, on the day after the battle with the Iron Warrior, the Blue Flame Blade Ghost's sword skills had a small breakthrough, becoming sharper and incorporating some of the advantages of the Iron Warrior's sword skills.
As for Iron Warrior, as a paradoxical Pokémon from the future, it is full of mysteries and has many possibilities.
Just like analysis, which is one of the machine's strongest abilities, most of the future paradoxical Pokémon will be closely related to these things.
Just like the iron burden that mechanically constructs the ice field, it is bound by the program and also enjoys the convenience brought by the program.
It is very likely that the Iron Warrior will analyze and dissect the Blue Flame Blade Ghost's sword skills, find out the weaknesses, and then come to challenge him.
Thinking about it this way, the Iron Warrior is simply the perfect training subject, and the Blue Flame Blade Ghost is blessed.
That afternoon, after settling most of the Pokémon on the farm, Luo Mu put on the new space backpack that he had bought at a high price.
Today is June 6th, and there are still four days left before the invitation to the dragon cave of the Yulong clan in Yanmo City. After spending half a day to arrive in the Chengdu area, Luo Mu still has two or three days to explore around the Chengdu area.
This time, to be on the safe side, Luo Mu left behind a group of main forces including the Blue Blade Demon, in order to prevent the Iron Warrior from not being able to find Pokémon when he came to the farm and causing any major trouble.
Considering that the Johto area is the base camp of that large organization, Luo Mu naturally brought some main forces with him to avoid being unable to show combat effectiveness when encountering the other side.
Apart from that, most of the remaining Pokémon are cute characters, like Vulpix and Victini.
After all, his purpose this time was to sightsee, capture Pokémon, and then happily let Dragonite learn Speed and go home.
If you have the chance, go to the top of Silver Mountain to see if there are any legendary trainers fighting against each other. By the way, secretly dig some soil from Silver Mountain to feed the Salt Stone Pokémon.
