Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 456: God's Age of Stress

After finishing the work on Iron Island, Shota took the three girls away.

A few days later, they arrived in Xuefeng City and stayed in a hotel.

Snowpeak City is a city covered with snow all year round, located at the northernmost tip of the Sinnoh region. The snow falling from the top of Mount Tianguan keeps the temperature here low all year round.

The road leading to it from Tianguan Mountain is also completely covered with snow. To the west of Xuefeng City is the Lake of Wisdom and the Lakeside of Wisdom. On certain dates, special ice crystal weather will occur here.

This is the hometown of Xiaoguang's rival Xiaowang. Xiaoyao has also been here. Her Glaceon evolved next to the rocks nearby.

In the hotel room, Diane was wearing a plush coat, her legs stretched into the kotatsu, and she was continuing her scientific research naked.

Xiaochun was lying on the ground with half of her body inside the kotatsu, looking at a fashion magazine with great interest.

Gardevoir and Shota were walking on the cleared street, with thick layers of snow on both sides. From time to time, they could see faint white smoke coming out of the long chimneys of every household.

"Shota, where are we going now?"

Gardevoir was holding Shota's arms, with a red scarf tied around her neck. She was breathing out hot air while speaking, and her face was red, which instantly made her look more lively and cute.

"We are going to the gym in Xuefeng City. An uncle has the materials I want."

"Oh~ You are trying to steal other people's things again."

"Don't say it so harshly. This is not called robbing, this is called borrowing. As for whether I return it or not, that depends on my mood."

"That's really bad of you."

As it said that, Gardevoir gave a mischievous smile that said "I understand you", let go of Shota's arm, and ran forward.

The voice of Shanaido came from not far away:

"Shota, let's compete to see who arrives first. Whoever loses will be at the mercy of the other party tonight. I don't know how to use teleportation. The competition begins now!"

After listening to what Gardevoir said, Shota just walked slowly with a calm and composed expression on his face.

Gardevoir ran away and looked at Shota in the distance, with a big question mark on his face.

After hesitating for a moment, she ran back.

She came to Shota and was about to ask something.

A shadow flashed past her eyes.

Shota was running in front, and Gardevoir's exasperated voice came from behind:

"Ahh~ Shouta, you're cheating. You can't play like this~"

Shota ignored her and ran straight forward, implementing the spirit of a Sigma man.

At the entrance of the gym in Xuefeng City, Shota looked at the approaching Gardevoir leisurely, with a triumphant smile on his face.

Seeing Shota's smile, Gardevoir pouted angrily, but seemed to have thought of something, and came to Shota with a flattering smile, hugged his arm, and said weakly:

"Tonight... can you be a little gentler? Although I, I, I feel quite comfortable... but, my butt is burning with pain when I wake up in the morning..."

"It depends on my mood."

Hearing Shota's answer, Gardevoir rolled her eyes at him in annoyance and subconsciously touched her little butt.

After entering the Xuefeng Gym, Shota and the transformed Gardevoir came to the spectator seats under the guidance of the waiter.

At this time, Shinji was fighting a Pokémon battle with Kamishiro, and Shota looked at Shinji.

Shinji was the first strong enemy that Ash encountered in the Sinnoh region. He had completely opposite ideas from Ash on how to cultivate Pokémon to become stronger.

Shinji only cares about how strong a Pokémon is in battle, and hates weak Pokémon.

Whenever he captures a Pokémon, he checks the Pokédex to confirm its ability, and keeps the ones he thinks are strong, but releases the weak ones immediately. When he sees something that is useless in battle, he often calls it "useless".

He was initially disgusted by Xiaozhi's behavior, thinking that it was meaningless to have a good relationship with Pokémon, and he thought Xiaozhi was a trainer who doted on Pokémon, which made Xiaozhi very angry.

Although he is usually indifferent to Xiaozhi, he will still help Xiaozhi when he is in danger. After a long period of contact, he gradually accepts Xiaozhi's attitude towards Pokémon.

His method of training Pokémon is also almost military-like, and he sometimes makes Pokémon withstand each other's moves to improve their endurance.

Among all of Xiaozhi's rivals, he is the most harsh and even a little cruel to Pokémon. He is usually very serious, and only showed a hint of surprise when he heard that Xiaozhi had defeated Shendai. In fact, he is a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He tends to respect only the strong, such as Takenori and Shendai who can defeat him.

He is annoyed by people who interrupt him to complete Pokémon-related tasks, and will only respond with a cold "I don't know".

When watching the animation before, Shota was indeed unhappy with his attitude towards Pokémon, but there is a saying that goes, after playing Pokémon games, you become more like Shinji than Shinji.

After recalling some information about Shinji, Shota turned his gaze to Kamishiro who was strolling leisurely in this Pokémon battle.

Kamishiro is the pioneering brains behind the Kanto vs. Frontier vs. Pyramid, and he is known as the Pyramid Pharaoh.

When you hear this title, you can tell that this man is absolutely awesome.

This is indeed the case. Kamishiro has the "Three Idiots" at his disposal, namely Regirock, Regiace and Regis Chirr.

In the anime, the legendary giant is the strongest partner of the Age of Gods.

In the Advanced Generation arc, Regirock and Regis Chilu defeated Xiaozhi with overwhelming strength in battle, and only Regiace lost to his Pikachu in the rematch between Xiaozhi and Shendai. In the Diamond & Pearl arc, Shendai used them in a full-scale battle with Shinji to defeat all six of Shinji's Pokémon.

The uncle that Shota mentioned before was Kamishiro, and the so-called materials were exactly the "Three Idiots" in Kamishiro's hands.

As he was thinking this, the battle on the field had come to an end. Just like in the animation, Shinji's talent was still inferior to the increased strength brought by the bloodline of the divine beast.

Although Shinji lost the game, there is no doubt about his talent. Perhaps if there is a chance, we can recruit him.

After giving Shinji another verbal lesson, Kamishiro looked towards the audience seats where Shota was, because he always felt that there was an evil gaze watching him. This was a stress reaction to being stared at for a long time in this way when he explored the ruins for many years.

"There's no doubt about it. In the audience, there must be an old guy who has lived for who knows how many years. How could he escape from a certain ruin, and why did he come after me? Am I being targeted?"
