Raihan was now very angry.
He, the dignified wielder of super Gigantamax, the true Dragon-type master, was actually called a noob dog?
If he was noob, then what about those Flying-type dragon trainers?
For the honor of Dragon-types, Raihan instantly exploded.
Sensing its trainer's emotions, Flygon exhaled a very human-like breath of relief.
In the face of the enemy's insults, its trainer had finally regained normalcy, if only for a moment.
"Take my Dragon Dive!"
Flygon's emerald green body became enveloped in rich Dragon-type energy, diving down from the sky like a tidal wave toward the masked man on the ground.
That Dragon-type energy formed a vast and terrifying giant dragon figure, tightly wrapping Flygon within it.
At this moment, it was no longer Raihan's nanny, but a true champion-level Pokémon.
The masked man looked up at Raihan and Flygon in the sky, the corners of his mouth twitching as he fell into brief contemplation.
'Did I... forget something? Is this guy perhaps my father's killer or something?'
'There is no need to open like this right from the start!'
"In that case, come out, all of you~"
With the masked man's cold words, a Gastly floated out from his shadow, spitting a powerful Shadow Ball toward Flygon in the sky.
At the same time, two white flashes occurred. A Houndour and a spider-like Pokémon, Ariados, appeared on either side of the masked man.
In the sky, a fearsome-looking Delibird appeared in the next moment, unleashing a terrifying Blizzard that swept across the mountain peak.
"An indiscriminate battle right off the bat, huh?", Raihan grinned, "As expected of a Kanto-region Trainer."
"But... I'll show you whether Trainers of the Galar Region are as pathetic as you think."
"I never said the Galar Region is weak," The masked man solemnly corrected Raihan's words, "I said you're weak."
Raihan: "..."
"Damn it!", Raihan cursed, clenching his teeth hard.
If the opponent were an Ice-type Champion-level Trainer, he'd let it slide.
'But this guy only has a Delibird, and he dares to look down on Dragons?'
"Today I'll show you what a Dragon-type master unafraid of Ice really looks like!", Raihan waved a big hand, and several Poké Balls opened midair.
A lazy-looking turtle appeared, gently raising its eyelids. The oppressive weather caused by the Blizzard was instantly reduced by more than half.
A few rays of sunlight pierced through the thick clouds and landed on the ground.
Duraludon and Goodra appeared next, launching Dragon Pulse attacks toward the masked man.
Besides them, there was also a terrifying Fire-type giant turtle that stood upright, acting as a meat shield in front of Goodra and Duraludon, blocking all the ground-level Blizzard.
With the appearance of these Pokémon, the masked man dodged the Dragon Pulses and was briefly stunned.
"You're really a Dragon-type trainer?"
Raihan crossed his arms proudly and confidently spoke a line borrowed from a certain Trainer surnamed Qin, "As long as my team has lots of Dragons, I'm a Dragon-type trainer!"
Masked man: "..."
Helpless, he even considered going home to fetch his Swinub.
———
While the two were facing off, Axel opened his system panel to take a look.
All four of the Pokémon used by the masked man were above level 80, and the Delibird had even reached a terrifying level 93.
On par with Giovanni, no less.
Unfortunately… this guy had come to the wrong place and overestimated himself.
'Didn't even bring all his combat Pokémon, and you want to stir up trouble in Aurient?'
"Mewtwo!", As Axel released it, Mewtwo appeared bathed in golden light, shaking its head as it looked at the Delibird in the sky.
["This really is… not a Pokémon that gets along with people…"]
["Such a Pokémon… should be caught… and forced to watch anime!"]
A wave of oppressive energy emerged with Mewtwo's words, easily covering the entire mountaintop.
Delibird instantly felt its internal energy drain accelerate greatly.
At this rate, its Blizzard could last at most ten minutes.
BOOM!
A loud crash broke the silence. Flygon, diving from the sky, had already reached Bryce's side, slamming into the Shadow Ball launched by Gastly.
The next moment, a soul-stealing glint flashed in Gastly's eyes, and it released Hypnosis, aiming at Raihan on Flygon's back.
Raihan reacted quickly, rolling to the ground in time and barely dodging the attack.
Flygon's Dragon Claw was already sweeping out.
A full-power attack from a Champion-level Pokémon, the Dragon Claw skill covered dozens of meters in front, enveloping the masked man and the nearby Pokémon on the ground.
Ariados, without even needing a command from the masked man, used Protect automatically, raising a large shield in front of everyone.
The masked man pointed at Raihan not far away, "Houndour, encircle and attack!"
"ROAR!", Houndour dashed out from behind the Protect shield, and four dark shadows emerged around it simultaneously.
Seeing this, Axel narrowed his eyes slightly.
This Houndour was different from the one he used when attacking Arcanine.
This one was well over level 80, and the target of its move was a human.
If this attack landed, Raihan definitely wouldn't survive.
Axel linked his psychic power to Mewtwo, ["If Raihan isn't prepared, go help him."]
Mewtwo nodded, and two giant golden spoons appeared in its hands.
Just then, a shy-looking serpent-like Pokémon suddenly emerged from Raihan's clothing and dragged him into the ground, leaving Houndour dumbfounded.
Axel instantly grinned.
He knew it, judging by Raihan's chaotic personality, he was definitely not someone who would suffer easily in a wild battle.
Since that's the case, he could rest assured and go help Jenny.
Axel pressed the communication device on his ear, "Champion, I'll go support Jenny. You keep an eye on Raihan."
"No need...", Leon's voice carried a bit of doubt, "This masked man doesn't seem to be a real person."
"His command timing has a noticeable delay…"
"Though he's strong, each command clearly lags by a fraction of a second, which doesn't match Lance's description."
"His only advantage over Raihan is that Delibird in the sky with high training level."
"But if Raihan activates Ultra Gigantamax, that advantage will disappear completely."
Axel clicked his tongue, 'Champions really are monsters.'
'You can even detect a delay of mere tenths of a second?'
"Then what does the Champion mean?"
Leon laughed heartily, "I won't act for now. You just take that golden Pokémon and help Jenny."
"When this guy's main body comes out to reclaim face after Raihan beats the puppet, I'll deal with the real one."
"Alright!"
Axel responded, releasing all his Pokémon and charging toward the Jennys and the black-robed men.
The Jennys had come for him, he must not let them get hurt.
