Chapter 392: Rami's Flaw
Bang!
Will fell heavily on the ground, frowning tightly as he looked at Bisharp who had his hands around his neck.
Five years.
Bisharp has become a powerful Pokémon at Lv. 65; this is already Gym Leader level (or above).
Increasing more than 10 levels in five years.
Considering it's around the Gym Leader stage, this speed is not slow, especially since this is the era of magical beasts.
One can imagine that Bisharp put in a lot of effort in these five years to become stronger.
At least Golurk can't keep up completely.
The current Golurk has just stepped into Gym Leader level.
But this is not the point.
The point is.
Will actually didn't notice Bisharp hiding in the soil above his head.
His existence.
Was shielded by psychic power!
Back then Will could use Aura to shield the perception of that group of psychics; now this group of psychics naturally can also block Will's perception.
Maybe one person's Telekinesis is not enough to contend with Will.
But ten people are enough.
No wonder when they acted just now, Will only saw those ten psychics making movements, but didn't feel any special energy acting on himself.
Turns out they were covering for Bisharp who was using "Dig."
Will only had one doubt.
"How did you know?"
Will lay on the ground, turning his head to look at Kazan who seemed to know everything like the back of his hand.
"Hehe, coincidentally, when I was dealing with the King of Plenty, I found a person claiming to be an Aura Guardian in that country. He was quite loyal; to save the lives of the King of Plenty's family, he told all the intelligence about Aura Power. I was really moved."
Kazan knew what Will was asking, grinning,
"But I still killed him. After all, how can a bastard be qualified to possess the same ability as Teacher? What if someone finds a way to deal with Teacher relying on this bastard in the future? Right? Hehe, no need to thank me, Teacher; this is all what a disciple should do."
Kazan's cold words made Will feel cold and angry.
Every Aura Guardian is a person who loves peace.
Perhaps.
The Kingdom of Plenty in the past didn't attack the Kingdom of the Vale and the Kingdom of the Blessed Isles, not because they couldn't beat them, but because of the existence of this Aura Guardian.
He was trying hard to rely on his own power to dissuade the King of Plenty from launching attacks on other kingdoms.
After all.
The Kingdom of Plenty is a country sitting on the protection of three gods.
Even if the invasion fails, they are not afraid; anyway, their land is protected by gods, completely unafraid of being invaded by others.
In that case, why not give it a go and launch aggression against other countries.
Anyway, they can afford the cost of failed aggression.
Maybe.
Given another ten or decades.
This Aura Guardian could prevent one war after another like Riley in the past (future/Gen 4 context), even if treating symptoms but not the root cause, could save countless lives.
However, such a talent.
Just died under Kazan's hands like this.
"Look, Teacher, I said Rami is useless, right? He didn't realize where his weakness is now at all. Unlike me, anticipated early, acted early."
Kazan grinned ferociously and beckoned.
The remaining nine psychics still alive stepped forward.
They raised the wooden staffs in their hands; eyes lit up with different fluorescent colors.
"Hypnosis..."
Will realized his consciousness was becoming drowsy; eyelids kept trembling.
His Aura Power can offset some energy.
But cannot offset all.
Before falling asleep completely, Kazan's murmur came to his ear:
"Teacher, just stay well next; watch how I get rid of that trash, seize the Hometown of the Vale from his hands, and realize the unification of Unova."
"Oh, right, might need Teacher's little help in a few days."
On land.
At the moment the southern Blessed Isles army and the eastern Plenty army launched the charge.
"I know!"
Rami had a flash of inspiration, suddenly waking up from the palace.
He understands now.
Why Kazan's figure appeared in both eastern and southern armies.
Previously Rami thought the one appearing in the south was the real Kazan.
After all, there was also a Bisharp there.
For this.
Rami even mobilized more manpower to strengthen the southern defense line.
But now he feels there seems to be an extra possibility.
Is it possible.
Both Kazans are fake?
Rami traced back the traces little by little following his memory, and finally he thought of...
Ten years ago.
Teacher led the two of them to leave Eindoak Town at night, entering the Bouffalant Grassland for a practical class.
The content of the class was to find a Pokémon named Zoroark.
That night.
He and Kazan truly understood.
What is called the "Master of Illusions."
"If both Kazans are fake, then where did the real one go?"
Rami paced non-stop in the study.
Looking at the map of the western continent from time to time.
He had considered all attack directions of this western continent.
Then at this critical moment.
Is there anything worth Kazan abandoning two battlefields and the rear, personally leaving the army to do?
Moreover.
This matter is very important.
Important enough to make Kazan think that as long as it is done, it will definitely reverse all disadvantages and bring him down.
Rami asked himself.
Having experienced that civil war back then, there are few things in this world he cannot sacrifice.
It is precisely because he is no longer "Ideal" that Zekrom fell asleep like Reshiram.
Rami felt more and more uneasy in his heart; he scanned the map back and forth constantly.
To win this battle.
He can discard many things.
Can be said today's Rami has no flaws anymore.
What else could make Kazan...
"Golurk and..."
"Teacher?!"
In this instant.
Rami's gaze fixed on Chargestone Cave.
His pupils trembled; cold sweat began to flow on his forehead, murmuring non-stop in his mouth:
"Impossible..."
"How could Kazan attack Teacher..."
"Even if he is such an extreme person, his respect for Teacher should also be extreme to a heinous degree; how could he attack Teacher..."
Words said so.
But Rami, who thought of this possibility, couldn't stop his thoughts from diverging.
Back then.
Before Kazan launched the civil war.
Did he ever think Kazan would hate him enough to want to kill him?
If.
Kazan turned respect into hatred because Teacher chose to help him back then?
That brother of his.
By hook or by crook to achieve goals.
If the hatred for him surpassed the respect for Teacher, then Rami has no doubt that Kazan would really kill Teacher in order to destroy him.
"Damn it..."
In these years of being King, don't know when his heart also began to become conceited.
Rami gritted his teeth, clenching his fists.
Druddigon, Victini, and the flying unit have all been sent to destroy the capital of Blessed Isles.
Maybe at this moment they are already in battle.
Can't call them back.
"Someone come!!!"
Rami's roar resounded through the palace.
Less than ten seconds, someone walked in immediately.
"Let the army stationed at Chargestone Cave enter the cave immediately, go find Teacher!"
"If the army over there has been wiped out, then let half of the garrison of the southern defense line go over to check the situation."
"Immediately, right now!"
Rami's voice trembled; words were almost incoherent.
Since becoming the King of the Vale.
He kept Teacher's teachings in mind at all times; cannot call him Teacher in public anymore, call him State Preceptor when facing others.
But at this moment Rami completely forgot Will's words, calling out the word Teacher in front of the subordinate.
"Yes!!"
Seeing Rami like this, the close minister didn't realize that irrelevant point at all.
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, he ran out hurriedly to issue the notice.
Inside the study.
"Kazan, you better not do irreparable things..."
"Otherwise even if you are my brother..."
"I won't let you die too easily."
Capital of Blessed Isles.
Accompanied by the passing of hundreds of flying Pokémon.
A tall dragon Pokémon fell to the ground.
Today's Druddigon is fully Lv. 75; placed in the future, also a fierce mid-level Elite Four.
Is the undisputed strongest combat power of the three kingdoms.
It is precisely because of his strength.
That Rami had the confidence to transfer the water unit away, letting Druddigon lead the flying unit to carry out the decapitation plan.
"ROAR!!"
Druddigon just landed roared first to embolden himself.
Then spewed out a huge fireball towards the high sky.
Then the fireball exploded in the air, turning into countless small meteorites falling everywhere in the capital of Blessed Isles.
Boom!
Boom!
Loud noises one after another were like the horn of attack.
Flying-type Pokémon in the sky immediately released moves unscrupulously like they cost no money, frantically destroying this luxurious kingdom under their feet.
At the same time.
Blessed Isles Kingdom armies surrounded from all directions.
Druddigon's eyes panicked, but also a bit excited.
He stayed in Chargestone Cave for too long; almost vomited from staying.
To be honest.
Being called out by Rami to fight this time.
Although a bit scared, also quite happy; at least can come out for a breath of air.
So even surrounded by a large army, Druddigon didn't regret it.
Besides.
He has a big brother on top of his head.
"Tini!"
The invisible Victini manifested for a moment, spreading hands.
Endless raging fire instantly burned the surroundings, as if creating an abyss out of thin air.
And coincidentally.
This move of Victini is called Searing Shot (Inferno/Blue Flare context implies powerful fire).
"Tini."
After one move, Victini applied a boost to Druddigon again.
Then Victini became completely invisible.
Druddigon, who received the boost, instantly felt he could kill ten Bouffalant with one punch!
For a time Druddigon's courage also increased a lot.
Sweeping with one claw and one tail.
Easily solved more than a dozen Pokémon.
This is a feeling Druddigon never had before.
This is...
The feeling of Invincibility (Loneliness/Solitude at the top)!
"ROAR!!"
Druddigon grinned and laughed, rampaging in the capital of Blessed Isles, like a big monster.
The garrisoned Blessed Isles army was like clay chickens and pottery dogs (useless) in front of him, only able to watch with despair as Druddigon and the flying unit destroyed the capital of Blessed Isles.
Finally.
The flames burning in the capital of Blessed Isles spread to the plains outside, and were still burning towards farther places.
This fire.
No one can stop it anymore.
It will burn this huge grassland completely until this land becomes barren scorched earth.
