Chapter 499 - The Choice

The wild white thunder crashed down from the sky, pouring like a waterfall;

A powerful spring burst from the earth, and the G-Max Rapid Flow executed by Gigantamax Urshifu erupted like an unstoppable geyser, shooting skyward with tremendous force."

The spring water hit the thunder, over and over.

This time, not only the earth and the island were shaking, but the sky and space were shaking too. This time, it wasn't just cracks, but a gap opened up directly.

Luckily, there were no creatures nearby, otherwise they might be sucked directly into the space cracks and lost forever.

Gardevoir appeared out of thin air next to John. It put its hands together to complete Mega Evolution. It spread out its faint mental power and put up Wide Guard, Barrier, and mysterious shields, layer by layer, to protect him inside them.

Suddenly, John saw in the distance a man on Charizard coming fast from the direction of the Galar Region.

No doubt the Galar Region champion, Leon, had been alerted by his battle with Mustard and came to check it out. But Leon arrived too late.

This battle was over.

The fight between the thunder and the water flow lasted less than a minute. The white thunder broke through the spring water with crazy strong piercing and ongoing power, to be exact, it connected with Urshifu.

Water could conduct electricity, that was a natural rule and couldn't be avoided.

Also, the Rapid Strike Urshifu had Water-type, so electric moves did double damage to it.

Plus, this 200 Million Volt Ultimate Thor was boosted by the Orb of Thunder and John was able to hit the critical strike and land a move with double damage.

The weakness was doubled, the damage from Orb of Thunder was doubled, and another double damage happened.

For a Rapid Strike Urshifu, this move could do eight times the damage.

What's more, it was a Z-Move.

There was no way or reason for it to fight back.

Soon, after making sure it destroyed its opponent, the thunder in the sky calmed down and slowly came to an end.

There was only a huge dark hole with a diameter of more than half a mile left on Challenge Beach of the Isle of Armor. Countless seawater was pouring in, and white lightning flashed around it without stopping.

For a short time, this place might no longer be good for most Pokemon to live.

At most, it was just waiting for the electricity's power to fade away, which would be good for Pokemon like Lanturn, which had both Water and Electric types, to live there.

The incoming seawater lifted up Urshifu's body that had lost the ability to fight.

At the same time, the system also gave the final result.

[Defeat Urshifu (Rapid Strike Style), gain 150,341 experience points]

The scene in front of him changed, and John had already returned to his room.

Picking up his Gameboy, there was a reminder on it.

[Challenge Mustard successfully completed, please return to the dojo to receive the reward]

John quickly opened the map and got ready to fly, but the map was different from before.

Challenge Beach had disappeared completely. From the map, the Isle of Armor seemed to have been bitten by someone, leaving a circular mark. Now it was called Thunder Lake.

"Damaged maps won't be fixed during non-dungeon battles," John couldn't help but mumble to himself.

He flew to the dojo where Mustard was.

Mustard was sitting properly in the dojo, with Leon standing next to him.

However, this time, John didn't trigger the plot mode.

He controlled his character to come forward and talk.

[Mustard: The waves behind push the waves ahead! I am still old after all, and the future belongs to you young people!]

[Mustard: I won't join this Pokemon Tournament, but I will still be there]

[Leon: John, you have become stronger than the last time we fought! Then I can't stand still, I have to become stronger. I'll see you in the Pokemon Tournament then!]

[Tip: Obtain the challenge rewards Dark Scroll and Water Scroll]

"Oh, Mustard just gave them to me?" John opened his backpack and looked at the stats of the Dark Scroll and the Water Scroll.

The Dark Scroll and the Water Scroll were the evolution items for Kubfu to evolve into Urshifu. The normal way to get them was to challenge the Towers of Two Fists on the Isle of Armor. John was originally planning to go after challenging Master Mustard.

It was good now, he didn't have to waste time to challenge them, and it also gave him two scrolls.

But the description of these scrolls made him a little surprised.

[Dark Scroll Item Description: It contains the Secret of Darkness. The more Pokemon that are good at Fighting, the more likely they will learn their own Dark One-Hit Move. (Some special Pokemon might have unexpected things happen after reading it)]

The other Water Scroll had the same effect as the Dark Scroll, except that it had changed from the secret of darkness to the secret of water and one-hit flow to water combo style.

Judging from the description, it seemed like it wasn't limited to Kubfu, after all, it referred to "Pokemon that are good at Fighting."

It made sense if you thought about it carefully. It wasn't just Urshifu who trained in the Towers of Two Fists, other Pokemon trained there too. It was just that Urshifu would evolve as a result.

"Then let Kubfu choose first, and the remaining one will be used for experiments."

John immediately chose to save, called Kubfu over, and placed the Dark Scroll and the Water Scroll in front of it.

"Come on, choose your favorite style."

With a headband on its head and a serious look on its face, Kubfu sat down in front of John. Its eyes wandered back and forth between the two scrolls, but it still couldn't make a decision.

In the past, it would have asked its teacher Blaziken, but now Blaziken wasn't brought to the sky island by John.

So Kubfu could only make its own decision.

John waited for a long time, but Kubfu was still undecided and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? You still can't decide?"

"Hmm!" Kubfu nodded.

"Then I will take you to see the results of the evolution of the two schools, and you can decide." John remembered that he had another chance to ask for advice from Teacher Mustard.

There was nothing to ask for advice before, but now he could ask for advice on Kubfu's evolution route choice and the future training route of Urshifu.

Putting away Kubfu, John turned on his Gameboy again.

Just in Mustard's dojo, he talked to him and used [Ask for advice (only once)]

The scenery before John's eyes changed, and he came to see Mustard in person again.

"Master Mustard, I would like to ask you about Kubfu's evolution route choice."
