Chapter 502 Too Temperamental
Li Shuwen frowned; he could sense the extremism in Long Qi's words.
This mentality of belittling others simply to prove oneself is not advisable.
It seems that he needs to step in and enlighten this young man who has gone astray.
Li Shuwen calmly replied, "The strength of a Pokémon lies not in its color, but in the bond between it and its trainer and the effort they put in together."
"I hope that through this battle, you will understand what truly important qualities are."
Ah Kai was very annoyed with this guy, but he still showed his professionalism as a disciple of Li Shuwen, the master of the Midas Touch.
Akai began to guide them, "The competition venue is the pool in the backyard, follow me."
Upon arriving at the battle arena, Ryuzaki eagerly threw out a Poké Ball, shouting, "Go, my ace!"
The red Gyarados roared as it made its appearance. Li Shuwen could sense the almost twisted and violent aura emanating from the red Gyarados through its aura.
Ryuzaki's training of Gyarados went completely in the wrong direction.
Li Shuwen released the golden Gyarados, whose majestic and sacred aura was worlds apart from that of the red Gyarados.
A fierce glint flashed in Ryuzaki's eyes, and he impatiently gave the order, "Gyarados, Hyper Beam!"
It came down to a killing move right from the start; the red Gyarados was excessively influenced by Ryuzaki's ferocity!
The red Gyarados opened its massive jaws, and terrifying energy rapidly condensed, transforming into an incredibly thick orange beam of light.
Li Shuwen remained calm. "Water cannon."
The water cannon spewed by the golden Gyarados, a water jet as solid as a physical object, collided with the Hyper Beam in mid-air.
The stalemate that Ryuzaki had anticipated did not materialize.
The golden water cannon, with overwhelming force, directly shattered the destructive beam.
The attack continued unabated, striking the red Gyarados!
"What?!" Ryuzaki's pupils shrank sharply, incredulous.
The red Gyarados was blasted backward by the Hydro Pump and crashed into the pool, letting out a painful roar, its eyes blazing with even more ferocity.
"Impossible! My red Gyarados is the strongest! Giga Impact!"
Ryuzaki roared in frustration.
The red Gyarados, riding a purple-gold aura, charged towards the golden Gyarados with overwhelming force.
Li Shuwen calmly gave the order, "Gyarados, Water Tail."
The golden energy released by the golden Gyarados dyed the water, and its golden tail, like an unshakable mountain, directly shoved the red Gyarados into the bottom of the pool.
The series of failed attacks left Ryuzaki with a grim expression.
The red Gyarados was utterly humiliated.
Since the beginning of evolution, when have we ever been so crushed?
That dazzling golden figure, in the eyes of the red Gyarados, had become a symbol of all his past pride being trampled upon.
"Get up! Red Gyarados, you're my strongest ace, how come you're beating a Magikarp like a pushover!" Ryuzaki roared angrily, his words filled with disappointment and blame.
The phrase "as weak as Magikarp" was like the last straw, completely igniting the anger and resentment in the heart of the red Gyarados!
He didn't want to lose! He wanted to tear apart that golden illusion!
"roar--!!!"
A violent, destructive dark red energy erupted from the red Gyarados like a volcanic eruption!
The red Gyarados's eyes instantly turned blood red, its reason was swallowed by the surging rage, leaving only the most primal destructive instinct!
Reverse scale!
Driven by extreme humiliation and rage, the red Gyarados activated this powerful Dragon-type move, a desperate last stand!
The red Gyarados, now in a state of reverse scale, experiences a surge in power and speed, launching a frenzied attack on the golden Gyarados with reckless abandon.
Li Shuwen's expression turned serious as he realized that the reverse scale could cause irreparable damage to the red Gyarados's body.
"Gyarados, Thunder!"
The golden Gyarados's eyes narrowed, and it nimbly dodged the flurry of attacks from Outrage.
Seizing the opportunity, golden lightning erupted from the mouth of the Golden Gyarados, striking the body of the Red Gyarados!
The red Gyarados coiled around the body, dispersing the dragon energy generated by the Outrage scale.
Li Shuwen waved his hand, "Iron Tail!"
The golden Gyarados turned around and lashed out with its tail, its body like a whip, striking the red Gyarados hard on the chin.
boom!
The violent splash of water soaked Ryuzaki to the bone.
The golden Gyarados's all-out attack caused the red Gyarados to go black out.
The red Gyarados's ferocity subsided rapidly, like a flame extinguished. It floated belly-up on the surface of the water, completely incapacitated.
The bloodshot in his eyes faded, leaving only the weakness from overexerting his body.
Ryuzaki stared blankly at his fallen comrade, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
His previous arrogance seemed utterly laughable in the face of such a vast difference in strength.
Li Shuwen walked into the arena, looked at the unconscious red Gyarados, and sighed softly.
He turned to the dejected Ryuzaki and said in a serious tone, "You made the wrong choice. Your Gyarados has great potential, but it needs the right way to be activated."
"It unleashes its power in dire straits, but what drives it is your harshness and its anger. Such power cannot last and will only harm its body."
"Only through your trust and bond can the strength generated be truly resilient."
Li Shuwen looked at the majestic Golden Gyarados beside him and said with emotion, "I was able to raise a Golden Gyarados not because we pursued power."
"What we pursue is a dream! The pursuit of power will only lead to emptiness, but a dream will give you endless motivation to move forward!"
Li Shuwen patted Ryuzaki on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Take your Gyarados to the Pokémon Center for treatment, and then let it rest for at least half a month."
"For the next two weeks, you can do anything except fight."
After losing the match, Ryuzaki's eyes quickly became clear.
He bowed deeply to Li Shuwen, "I apologize, Master Shuwen. My words just now were very offensive. I'm sorry!"
"When I traveled with Gyarados, I defeated many trainers. After they lost, they all said that my red Gyarados was nothing in front of the golden Gyarados."
"It's not even as good as a single scale!"
Ryuzaki was furious, but he was also bad at talking, so he decided to defeat Li Shuwen to prove that he and the red Gyarados were the strongest.
Li Shuwen placed a paving stone badge next to Long Qi: "Here, take this badge. Take it out and look at it whenever you're angry to remind yourself."
"I hope you understand that true strength lies in mutual understanding and growth with Pokémon, rather than treating Pokémon as a tool to prove yourself. Try to truly experience it."
Ryuzaki silently accepted the badge, looked at the Poké Ball containing the red Gyarados in his hand, his eyes filled with complex emotions, and finally lowered his head deeply.
"I will try my best to change my temper."
Ryuzaki bowed again, then turned and left the Veiled Dojo.
Looking at the golden Gyarados soaring into the sky, Li Shuwen understood that the impact this golden legend had on the Veilgate Gym was probably only just beginning.
