Chapter 555 Spirit Horse: Fighting Dark Lugia, Me?
Li Luochen had noticed Lingyouma's dissatisfaction.
In Lingyouma's view, this is its territory. What does it matter if the black radish appears in its territory and it eats it?
You say this is your black radish, but I'll say it's my black radish!
Besides, it's one of the kings of the Crown Snowfield, so what's wrong with it eating a radish from you?
Even if we take a step back and do nothing, I can always trade you something!
"Hiss~" (Human, I don't want to cause too much trouble. Since you say this is your black radish, then name your price. What kind of price do you want me to offer to compensate you?)
Lingyouma's temper has improved a lot now.
It's important to know that in the ancient Crown Snowfield, the Spirit Horse wasn't so easy to talk to.
Back then, as the king of Pokémon, it reigned supreme over this frozen land, and the swirling mist of its soul was enough to intimidate any intruder.
It is extremely angry with humans who invade its territory and never shows mercy.
They relentlessly attack intruders and their Pokémon companions, using their sharp hooves to drive all outsiders out of the country.
In the eyes of humans at that time, it was one of the most unapproachable beings on this snowfield.
Such a situation, where one actively abandons an aggressive stance and listens attentively to the other party, would have been nothing short of a fantasy in ancient times.
Lingyouma glanced at Regigigas, who was pinching him, and his lips twitched.
Yes, it came from the heart.
"Well, you definitely can't come up with the price I'm asking for."
Li Luochen put his hands in his pockets and looked at Lingyouma with a half-smile.
"Human, what price do you want? Why don't you tell me first? How do you know I can't afford it if you haven't said anything?"
Lingyouma was delighted.
How could it, the mighty king of the Crown Snowfield, not even be able to provide what this human in front of it desires?
Since separating from the Lacecrown Clan along with Snowstorm Horse, the Lacecrown Clan's estate has been divided into three equal parts, and he received one-third of the Lacecrown Clan's estate.
This is the property of a first-level god; this kid in front of me has no idea what's inside!
Li Luochen was increasingly satisfied with Lingyouma's volatile emotions.
He was deliberately testing the Spirit Horse. If the Spirit Horse was wealthy, then once he tamed it, it would all be his...
Li Luochen stopped beating around the bush.
He raised his hand, pointing directly at the Ghost Horse that Regigigas was holding in mid-air, his voice firm and resolute: "Ghost Horse, my price is to subdue you!"
"Hiss...?" (Okay...wait, what did you say?! You want to subdue me?!)
The air seemed to freeze at that moment.
After a moment of stunned silence, a layer of anger rose on the face of the Spirit Horse, its mane bristled and stood up like sharp thorns, and the soul mist swirling around its hind legs surged violently, like a ball of enraged ghostly fire.
Even though it was firmly held by Regigigas and its body was unable to move, its eyes still shone with a sharp light.
That's the most instinctive reaction when a king's dignity is challenged!
It suddenly twisted its body, its pitch-black limbs kicking angrily in mid-air, with faint dark purple energy fluctuations even condensing at the tips of its hooves.
"Hiss!" (Human, you are truly audacious!)
A hiss rolled out from its throat, carrying an undisguised warning, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop even further.
Katishia peeked half her head out from behind the tombstone, cautiously observing the scene, her golden hair fluttering gently in the cold air.
She instinctively shrank back, thinking to herself, "My husband is really going to completely enrage the spirit horse..."
"Why can't I subdue you?"
Li Luochen met Lingyouma's furious gaze without flinching, his tone frank: "Even Xuebaoma has become my accomplice... oops, my companion. By the same token, you can become my companion too."
He paused, patted the Poké Ball at his waist, and the commemorative ball containing the Snowstorm Horsea swayed slightly in his palm.
Lingyouma's anger paused slightly.
Snowstorm Horse? That stubborn guy, as stubborn as ice, actually followed this human?
It had been with the Snowstorm Horse for many years and knew the Ice Horse's temperament better than anyone else.
A single ice radish is far from enough to make the snowstorm horse bow its head.
Thinking this, the Spirit Horse stopped struggling, and the soul mist floating around its hind legs no longer surged so violently.
"Hiss!" (Want to subdue me? No problem... but you must gain my approval!)
"Regichikas, put it down."
Upon hearing this, Regigigas released his grip, and the Spirit Horse regained its freedom.
Upon landing, the Spirit Horse was filled with fighting spirit, waiting for Li Luochen to send out his Pokémon.
Li Luochen flicked his wrist, and the Master Ball bounced away: "Dark Lugia, I choose you!"
A deep, inky red light emanated from it, outlining a massive silhouette in the cold, gloomy air of the cemetery.
As the red light faded, Dark Lugia, recognized by many legendary Pokémon as Arceus's illegitimate son, descended with a roar!
Those scarlet eyes were lowered slightly, staring intently at the Spirit Horse, which was filled with fighting spirit. There was no extra emotion in his gaze, only the purest pressure.
The oppressive aura unique to first-level gods descended with a deafening roar, as if the entire sky had collapsed.
Even the floating phosphorescent flames shrank back slightly in that instant, hiding in the cracks in the ground and daring not to appear again.
The spirit horse's body suddenly stiffened.
Even though its eyesight had long since deteriorated and it could no longer make out the specific outline of Dark Lugia, the intense sense of oppression, so strong it was almost tangible, penetrated all its senses without any hindrance.
Cold, heavy, and irresistible, like an invisible hand gripping its heart!
"Lugia, Dark Cyclone!"
At Li Luochen's command, Dark Lugia's pair of silver-black giant wings suddenly unfolded, and then began to flap them rapidly!
The air currents surged, instantly turning the cold and gloomy cemetery upside down!
A jet-black whirlwind rose from around Dark Lugia, carrying with it the chill accumulated over many years among the rubble, withered branches, and tombstones, howling as it swept towards Spirit Horse!
The temperature dropped sharply as the whirlwind passed.
A dark vortex swept in, and the Spirit Horse's knees involuntarily bent slightly and its body tensed up due to the force of the aura.
Such a terrifying move is so close at hand; if one were to be hit by it head-on, the consequences would be unimaginable!
At this critical moment, the Spirit Horse suddenly let out a low neigh, and its eyes, which had long since lost their sight, suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented light.
A power that had been suppressed for countless years burst forth from its body, and the soul mist at its hind limbs exploded violently, raging like ghostly fire!
In that instant, the Spirit Horse's body burst forth with incredible speed, suddenly veering to one side!
The dark vortex whistled past its side, and the edge of the airflow still tore a shallow wound on its dark side!
The spirit horse fell to the ground, its four hooves slightly unsteady, its breathing rapid and heavy, its chest heaving violently.
Although it was difficult, I managed to narrowly avoid the attack...
