🩸 NEW STORY: All Immortals Are Evil! (AIAE-En)
My master was a thief, a murderer, and a lunatic, and he was convinced that somewhere in the world there was a land where immortals could be sown.
All I wanted was to survive his next bad mood.
He wanted immortality. I wanted him dead. In a world like this, neither seemed impossible.
Because here, everyone dreams of holy immortals: pure, radiant, bathed in divine light. I used to imagine them that way too, until I met the ones who truly hold power.
They speak of virtue, of destiny, of the greater good… always with the blood of innocents on their hands. Here, the road to eternity is paved with madness and human sacrifice.
And the worst part? Next to them, my master almost looked like a saint...
Welcome to a world where all immortals are evil!

After the battle between Ethan and Leader Brandon ended, the next round continued.
In the following battles, the Leaders of the Solaris region showed their dominant side.
After Ethan obtained victory in the first round, the Ironvale region lost the next three battles consecutively.
In the end, the Leaders of the Ironvale region could not defeat the Leaders of the Solaris region and, with a result of one to three, regretfully stopped in the semifinals.
However, although the Duskwell region won this time, they did not seem especially excited either.
After seeing the Elite-level battle between Ethan and Brandon in the first round, everyone felt that the other battles had lost some of their interest.
If it had not been a team tournament, but another competition format, Ethan probably would have been able to sweep through the entire field by himself!
After the battle, both teams withdrew.
But when they arrived at the backstage area of the stadium, Leader Brandon sought out Ethan.
"Help? What do you want me to help you do?"
In the lounge, Ethan held a cup of tea in his hand and spoke calmly.
Now, Brandon was also already an Elite-level Trainer. Under these circumstances, the help he mentioned would undoubtedly not be something small.
"I want to ask you to help me explore a Secret Kingdom with me."
Leader Brandon pondered for a moment and then explained his purpose.
"Explore a Secret Kingdom? What Secret Kingdom could there be that Leader Brandon can't explore?"
"If such a Secret Kingdom really exists, I'm afraid there will be Elite-level Pokémon inside, right?"
Ethan's voice remained calm. If Leader Brandon did not give him detailed information, it was impossible for him to agree to explore a Secret Kingdom with him.
"If we're talking about Elite-level Pokémon, those two Pokémon certainly are."
Brandon nodded and fixed his gaze on Ethan.
If Ethan did not show a clear stance, he also could not tell him all the information from beginning to end.
"Two Elite-level ones?"
"Wild Elite-level Pokémon are very rare."
"The Elite-level Pokémon you're talking about... they couldn't be two Legendary Pokémon, could they?"
Hearing Brandon's words, Ethan's expression froze for an instant and he began to become serious.
Information about Legendary Pokémon was extremely valuable. If they really were Legendary Pokémon, then it was indeed worth Leader Brandon attaching so much importance to it.
"Then, are you interested?"
Brandon did not answer immediately, but instead asked him back.
"Where is that Secret Kingdom?"
Faced with Leader Brandon's almost affirmative response, Ethan thought for a moment and asked.
"If you agree to go, I'll take you."
"Moreover, if you agree to help me, I can give you one of the Pokémon."
Leader Brandon spoke again, putting forward a condition that made Ethan feel somewhat tempted.
An Elite-level Pokémon, if he could capture it, would represent an enormous improvement to his strength.
But two Elite-level Pokémon also implied enormous risk.
If it were an ordinary exploration of a Secret Kingdom, Brandon could completely resolve it alone, without needing Ethan's help.
Now, if he needed his help, that proved that Brandon could not resolve it by himself. The risk involved...
Ethan closed his eyes and thought for a while. Currently, he had in his hands Melmetal, Lucario, Charizard, and Regirock, four Elite-level Pokémon. Among them, Melmetal and Regirock were Elite level, while Lucario and Charizard could Mega Evolve. Added to Garchomp and Tyranitar, who after Mega Evolving also possessed Elite-level combat strength, the situation was actually still quite stable.
"Alright, I agree. But before that, I need to go back and prepare."
Ethan nodded. He felt that he could not reject the temptation of an Elite-level Pokémon.
"Good, then it's decided. In three days, I'll wait for you in Emberfall City. Also, it would be best if you brought more Fire-type Pokémon. That place is the main field of Fire-type Pokémon."
Hearing Ethan's answer, Brandon burst into laughter.
Then he directly left the lounge, leaving Ethan alone, sunk in thought.
...
After the competition ended, Ethan directly left Imperial City.
When he returned to Solaria Town, he told Professor Harris and the others that Brandon had invited him to participate in the exploration of a Secret Kingdom.
Professor Harris and the others were the people Ethan trusted most, so there was no need to hide anything from them.
"Two wild Elite-level Pokémon!"
"From the situation, it really is very likely that they are Legendary Pokémon. Moreover, two appearing at once... it seems this Secret Kingdom exploration will not be simple."
Professor Harris's face became very serious. After all, this was related to Legendary Pokémon. The temptation was too great.
After talking for a while, Ethan decided to go anyway.
During the following time, Ethan made complete preparations for this Secret Kingdom exploration.
Besides bringing enough resources and supplies, he also brought all his Pokémon with him, so that he could face any possible scenario.
...
Three days passed quickly.
On the final day, Ethan arrived at Emberfall City just as they had agreed.
At the Emberfall City Gym, Brandon was already waiting for him.
At the same time, beside Brandon there was also an Alakazam.
Next, they would use Alakazam's Teleport move to go directly to the place where the Secret Kingdom was located.
From the scene, it seemed that on this occasion only he and Brandon would enter the Secret Kingdom.
As long as they successfully captured those two Elite-level Pokémon inside the Secret Kingdom, he and Brandon would split them directly.
...
"Now you can tell me about this Secret Kingdom, right?"
Standing in front of the entrance to the Secret Kingdom, Ethan looked around and spoke.
At that moment, they were in a desert. Around them there were only endless yellow sands, and Ethan had no idea where they were.
"Yes. I call this Secret Kingdom the Fire Domain."
"According to the exploration of my Pokémon, the Fire-type energy inside is extremely dense, while the energies of other types are very scarce."
"Moreover, a large number of Fire-type Pokémon live inside. Among them, the two strongest Elite-level Pokémon are our targets."
Leader Brandon nodded and told Ethan the detailed information about that Secret Kingdom. He also briefly introduced the two Elite-level Pokémon inside.
"One of those Pokémon is Entei!"
Hearing Leader Brandon's words, Ethan showed surprise.
Although he had already predicted that the wild Elite-level Pokémon mentioned by Brandon would be Legendary Pokémon, actually hearing it still surprised him greatly.
As for the other Pokémon, Leader Brandon told Ethan that it was also a Legendary Pokémon. However, even Brandon did not know its detailed information. He only knew that it was also a Fire-type Pokémon.
At the same time, that Fire-type Pokémon of unknown identity was precisely the one they needed to watch most carefully, because according to several signs, Entei seemed to be that Pokémon's subordinate!
