Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

The boiling molten iron adhered to Shakiras' body, and together with the magma with a temperature of thousands of degrees, it tempered his body like forging a weapon.

"sand……"

Shakiras uttered a slight groan of pain, his eyes hidden in the darkness closed tightly, but they opened suddenly after a moment, and then as if he had made up his mind, he plunged into the depths of the magma pool.

Just as he was about to dive, Shakiras seemed to hear the call of his "father", perhaps it was an illusion.

Did I hear it wrong?

He had no time to think about it, and the intense pain had already hit him. Shakiras felt as if he was a piece of firewood placed in a bonfire, and could only watch his body turn into charcoal. He couldn't even tell whether his body was being squeezed or torn apart... or was it melting? Shakiras was not sure, but at this moment he would not think about these things anymore, because his remaining rationality could clearly feel that his body had become heavier due to the influx of countless metals.

God knows where Yaxuan found such a deep magma pool!

A fiery light flashed in Shakiras' eyes, but the next moment, he felt the squeezing sensation from the magma above, and Shakiras realized that he could not dive any deeper. The depth he was at now had reached the density required to compress his body. If he went any deeper, no one could predict what would happen.

He just wanted to become stronger, but he didn't want to lose his life because of a little training. Even if he was going to fall, he should fall on the battlefield.

……

"Shakilas!"

Before Aislo, who had just arrived, had time to chat with Yaxuan, he saw Shakiras diving into the lava pool. The momentary panic made the boy's pupils shrink. Just when he wanted to jump up and bring his child back, Yaxuan's hand was already on his shoulder.

"Xiao Luo, calm down, he will be fine, I promise." Ya Xuan shook his head gently towards Aislo.

"But this is too dangerous..." Just as Aislo wanted to say something else, Yaxuan's words interrupted him.

"This is his choice and his wish."

This short sentence made Aislo take back the steps he had already taken, but his frown still did not relax. He looked at the magma pool that had returned to calm, his eyes full of worry.

Of course, if Eslo could not feel the gradually strengthening waveguide under the magma pool, he would have rushed out long ago.

Seeing that the other party seemed to have calmed down, Ya Xuan patted the boy's shoulder and then withdrew his hand. At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if the other party really wanted to stop the training, he alone could not stop him.

Besides... Ya Xuan looked around. If you don't consider the sound of the fight between Circle Bear and Rogue Crocodile over there, it can be said that it is extremely quiet. It seems that those people don't want to care about this matter. They are just watching from somewhere.

"What a little ancestor." Ya Xuan looked at the magma pool, recalled Shakiras's determined eyes not long ago, and sighed helplessly. If the other party had not insisted, Ya Xuan would never risk letting Aislo go berserk.

At this time, Mary reached out and gently placed her hand on Aislo's arm, and asked Yaxuan, "What does Mr. Yaxuan mean by... Shakiras's choice?"

“Well…” Ya Xuan paused, and the stairs came, “Let me say something nonsense first. You should all know that quasi-gods are elves who achieve success late…”

…………

"You really are worthy of being called a late bloomer!"

"Well, after staying with that divine messenger for so long, he still hasn't evolved... It seems that the resources required to cultivate this kind of elves are really terrifying!"

"..."

Feeling the curious gazes around him and listening to the whispers echoing in his ears, young Kiras quietly looked at the black-haired boy in the distance who was feeling overwhelmed by the enthusiastic fans, and silently clenched his fists.

……

"Wow, you actually won the battle with just a baby Kiras?"

"That young Kiras is really strong!"

"Hey, wait, there seems to be a Shakiras over there?"

"I'm just a trainer passing by. If you want to come over and take a look, can you give me your seat? I want to ask Aislo for an autograph."

"Are you kidding me?"

"..."

Young Kiras, who had just finished a battle with a passerby, looked at a passing trainer in the distance in a daze, or rather, Shakiras following behind the trainer. The joy brought by the victory in his heart was gone.

He threw himself into the arms of the boy who was running towards him, and then slowly closed his eyes.

……

"Look, look! It's Shakiras!"

"Should I say he is indeed a person with special abilities? He managed to make a quasi-god complete his evolution in such a short time..."

"It's a pity that even though Shakiras is already considered a strong player among all the late blooming elves in the second stage, it is still difficult for him to exert sufficient combat power..."

"Hey, hey, hey, do you want to listen to what you are saying? Before a quasi-god evolves to its final form, shouldn't he just hide behind his teammates and develop peacefully? If he can exert enough combat power in the early stage, that would be too incredible, right?"

"makes sense."

"..."

Shakiras, who was feeling smug about having just learned how to fly, which was something his "father" had always dreamed of, suddenly became quiet and withdrew the smile from his eyes.

……

"Crocodile, as a Pokémon that once lived in the sea of ​​sand, why don't you develop the strengths of your species and try to swim in this rocky sea like you do in the sea of ​​sand. Once you achieve a certain effect, you can go find Tigris to practice your combat skills."

"Morubeko... If I remember correctly, there is a thundercloud in that direction. It was formed a while ago. You two should go over there."

"Majula, your ice skills are already good enough, but your speed and stealth skills are still a little lacking. Go find Lucario and try to avoid his perception."

"..."

Watching his companions leave one after another, Shakiras anxiously waited for Yaxuan's task. But when he was the only elf left, Yaxuan said, "Shakiras... just stay here."

"rustle?"

Shakiras looked up in disbelief.

"Now you can't accumulate energy in your body by eating like young Kiras, nor can you withstand intense energy control training. You just need to wait and wait for time to pass." Ya Xuan explained patiently, but this was definitely not the result Shakiras wanted.

He didn't want to just hide behind his companions, he didn't want to wait boringly while his companions trained and became stronger, and he didn't want to just accept the protection of his "father" during this long time. He wanted to become stronger!

and so……

"sand!"

Arrange training for me! No matter how hard it is, I will not be afraid!

……

Dad, I have always been a good child, right?

Don't cry or make a fuss, don't fight or compete, and fight hard on weekdays...

So, can you forgive my willfulness this time?
