A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

Chapter 416 The Water Tower Trial Unexpectedly Begins

As Zhang Heng and his apprentice were swept into the space of the Water Tower by the Water Scroll, the bronze door suddenly slammed shut with a deafening thud.

"Boom~"

The battlefield was now a scene of utter devastation, with broken bricks and rising steam creating a hazy, indistinct landscape.

Duan Guanjun knelt amidst the chaos, his knuckles digging deep into the scorched earth to steady himself, the blood he coughed up spreading dark red lines on the ground.

Mega Gallade's wings completely dissipated, and its body was covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

As the last bit of energy dissipated, the Mega state was released, and it crashed onto the pile of rubble with a heavy thud.

The martial arts bear master leaned against the leaning stone pillar ruins, his violently heaving chest causing the dark purple energy to become chaotic, and his sharp claws were deeply embedded in the ground to barely support his swaying body.

"Gragrag!!"

The Mudkip was the first to react, splashing mud as it charged toward the Water Tower, its short but powerful arms slamming wildly against the closed bronze gate, each impact shaking off fragments of runes from the tower's eaves.

The heavy door panel was like a sleeping giant beast. No matter how much it roared and pounded, only a few bricks and stones fell down, but not a single crack appeared.

Duan Guanjun wiped the blood from his lips, leaned against the broken stone pillar, and slowly stood up. His voice was hoarse, like sandpaper scraping: "What's going on with this commotion? Where is Zhang Heng?"

The Martial Arts Bear Master swung his blood-dripping claws, a deep roar escaping his throat: "Zhang Heng's Water Scroll resonated with the Water Tower, not only preventing the collision of the skills just now, but the powerful water energy communicating with each other also forcibly activated the Water Tower Trial unexpectedly."

It stared at the unmoving tower gate, a thoughtful light gleaming in its eyes. "I'm afraid even the will of the Water Tower didn't expect that this battle would become the key to the trial."

Duan Guanjun looked up at Bo Dangshui, whose eyes were filled with worry as he gazed at the Water Tower.

This Pokémon, which resembles both Suicune and a dinosaur, has an unusually unique water-type energy, and its ability seems to possess energy comparable to Mega Evolution.

Duan Guanjun followed the gaze of the rippling water to the Water Tower and said softly, "This is Zhang Heng's opportunity. If he can subdue the Combo-Style Martial Arts Lion and this water-type divine beast that resembles Suicune, then the future of China..."

Before the words were finished, Gallade suddenly let out a shrill wail, and golden energy surged out from the cracks around its body, scorching the surrounding air and making a "sizzling" sound.

The power of aura connects the Pokémon and the trainer. Just now, Duan Champion's heart suddenly clenched. Sensing Gallade's current state, he rushed over and supported Gallade.

"Gallade, are you alright?"

As he spoke, he took out healing medicine from his bag, but it had no effect on Gallade's wounds, not even stopping the bleeding.

Even though Shiny Gallade is a Champion-level Pokémon, no matter how sturdy its body is, it cannot simultaneously absorb the infusion of three energies: Mega Evolution, Aura Power, and Fighting Plate.

The current situation is that the body cannot withstand the continuous influx of overloaded energy, resulting in many cracks.

"Hehe~ Hehe~" came the anxious voice of a Ghost-type Pokémon from the ground.

Shiny Gastly's body slowly emerged from the ground. Just now, when Zhang Heng was swept away by the Water Scroll, Gastly, although hidden in his shadow, was also instantly pulled out.

The translucent body quickly floated to the bag that Zhang Heng had just dropped and took out the necessary medical tools.

It threw a bottle of disinfectant directly into its body, and carrying a strong disinfectant mist, it quickly moved around Gallade's side, its whole body like a spray bottle, spraying the disinfectant it had just absorbed onto Gallade's wounds.

Gallade let out a muffled groan; the pain of the disinfectant being poured directly onto its wounds made it tremble incessantly.

Gastly uses its Ghost-type energy to form tweezers that precisely pick up the dusty bits of meat.

They took out special steel needles and sutures and kept moving them through the wound. The two floating arms moved at high speed and worked in perfect coordination. They also pulled out sterile bandages and wrapped the wound layer by layer.

Finally, it raised the bubbling green potion and plunged it into Gallade's trembling skin with a "plop".

"Hey hey hey!"

Gastly turned around and spoke to Milotic, as if giving instructions.

"Wuh-huh~"

Milotic raised its head and let out a cry, gracefully flicking its long tail, sending countless shimmering water droplets shooting towards Champion and Martial Arts Master like shooting stars.

The martial arts bear master's tense muscles relaxed the moment the water droplet touched them, and the dark purple energy gradually subsided;

Duan Guanjun's pale face regained its color, and he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.

After Gallade's wounds were treated by the Ghost Doctor, undergoing basic disinfection, suturing, and bandaging, it was out of danger. All that was left was to rest.

Now, only silence remains in the trial space, along with the scene of Zhang Heng's Pokémon anxiously gazing at the Water Tower.

"part…"

Upon hearing Wudao Xiong Shi's words, Duan Guanjun exchanged a glance with him.

The two Pokémon raised their hands in perfect unison. Duan Guanjun held a Master Ball that gleamed with a cold light in his hand, while Wudao Xiongshi silently raised his arm as well, his fist gently touching the Master Ball.

A crisp "click" sound was heard, and a red light descended, capturing Urshifu into its Poké Ball.

The Master Ball made no noise and then beeped, indicating that Duan Guanjun had successfully captured Urshifu, and he was now a true dual-legendary Pokémon trainer.

Duan Guanjun stroked the cracks on the Masterball, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, and tossed the Masterball into the air.

"Bang!" A white light flashed, and the figure of Urshifu reappeared beside Duan Guanjun. Urshifu shook its mane hard, shaking off the remaining Dark-type energy, and the Fighting-type light reappeared on its claws.

Duan Guanjun murmured, "Zhang Heng, don't keep us waiting too long."

………………

Inside the Water Tower at this moment…

Inside the Water Tower, light and shadow distorted like a whirlpool, and Zhang Heng and his apprentice were swept into the sky amidst the dizzying spin.

The whistling wind and the hum of the flowing water filled his ears, and the feeling of weightlessness made his stomach churn. Zhang Heng gripped Xiong's arm tightly.

After climbing for an unknown amount of time, all that remained before them was a blinding expanse of water. Suddenly, the water scroll unfolded, hurling them heavily to the ground!

"Wow~"

At the moment of impact, the water energy rising from the ground transformed into a soft carpet of light, steadily supporting the two of them.

Zhang Heng gasped for breath as he propped himself up, feeling a throbbing pain in his temples and seeing stars before his eyes.

The bear apprentice stumbled, shaking his head, his large, watery eyes filled with confusion. Before they could recover, the water scroll seemed to come alive, curling into a silver wristband and wrapping around Zhang Heng's wrist again, its cool touch offering a sense of comfort.

"Gululu——"

Suddenly, the water in front of them boiled, and silvery-white energy surged and condensed, gradually outlining the shape of Psyduck.

But this Psyduck no longer droops its head and acts silly; its bright blue eyes gleam with intelligence.

"Zhang Heng, we meet again." The voice came from all directions, with a rhythmic ripple like water.

Zhang Heng suddenly looked up, his pupils shrinking sharply: "You are the will of the Water Tower?!"
