The situation was now taking a strange turn. Previous Ideal People had always been steadfast companions of the Ideal Dragon, but Zhang Heng was completely uninterested, even wanting to escape.
The ethereal voice resounded again: "Human, when you awaken me, some things may not be within your control. I hope you are prepared."
Zhang Heng took a deep breath, looked at the Zekrom in front of him, and prepared to clarify their relationship. He said, "I have read many ancient texts and know that the source of danger is not you, but the leader of the Way of the Three Dragons—Kyurem, right?"
Zekrom was somewhat surprised. Kyurem's last appearance was hundreds of years ago, and for humans, hundreds of years is a very long time. He didn't expect this young man to know about it.
Zekrom's voice remained ethereal: "Human, since you know of the Way of the Three Dragons, you should also know that by refusing me, you cannot remain uninvolved. Once Kyurem learns of my awakening, he will not let go of the Ideal Person who awakened me."
Zhang Heng's heart trembled, but he still braced himself and said, "That's for later. I will find a way to deal with it, but not now, and not in the way you wish."
Zhu Zi, as Zekrom's guardian, couldn't help but interject, "Zhang Heng, have you really thought this through? This is Zekrom! If you can get his Helping Hand, you'll have a powerful backer in the Pokémon world."
Zhang Heng glanced at Zhu Zi and said firmly, "Zhu Zi, I know you mean well, but I have my own principles and bottom line. I don't want to lose myself because of power; I want to live my life my own way."
Zekrom was silent for a moment, then said, "Very well, since your mind is made up, I will not force you. But to prevent danger from approaching you because you awakened me, when you encounter danger, you can take out the ideal crystal you just obtained and call my name. I will come to help you."
"ideal crystal? Is it the blue crystal Marshtomp just chipped off?"
Marshtomp was still holding the blue crystal in his hand and trotted over to give it to Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng took it. He remembered that when he got this crystal from the power station above, Zhang Heng had used his system ability to investigate it, but there was no prompt, so it was not an item.
Zekrom continued, "These crystals were formed by my power dissipating while I was asleep here. They pose no harm to you."
Zhang Heng was slightly stunned, not expecting Zekrom to make such a promise. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, just as you promised, when you need me, I will do my best to help you."
The outcome was already leaning towards perfection. Zhu Zi thought that this Dragonspiral Tower incident should end here, and he had also fulfilled his grandfather's last wish, and their family would no longer have to guard the Dragonspiral Tower underground.
Just as the words fell, something unexpected happened!
At this moment, a shining golden ring unexpectedly appeared in the originally calm Divine Beast Field, abruptly emerging from the ground of the Divine Beast Field.
In an instant, a powerful and evil aura erupted from this mysterious golden ring. Immediately after, a large amount of Dark Pulse poured out from it like a bursting flood, instantly engulfing the entire area like surging tides.
These Dark Pulse came fiercely, constantly rolling and surging, then suddenly fluctuated violently, raising waves of energy ripples.
Facing this sudden change, Psyduck and Walking Wake both seemed a little flustered, but they quickly recovered, quickly moved closer to Zhang Heng, and tightly guarded him, vigilantly watching all movements around them.
At the same time, a loud noise was heard, and a colossal Evil-type storm that blotted out the sky suddenly formed in the center of the area. That violent force made the entire space tremble, and strong winds howled, sweeping up dust and gravel.
And in the center of that terrifying Evil-type storm, a huge figure was slowly emerging. As the storm gradually dissipated, a thick and powerful arm could be clearly seen reaching out from within the golden ring.
The main body of this arm presented a light gray tone, giving a cold and hard feeling.
However, what was most striking were the circles of golden yellow rings wrapped around its wrist and upper arm. These rings emitted dazzling light, as dazzling as precious gems embedded on it.
Zhu Zi nervously gripped Manectric's fur and shouted, "What's happening now? Has a new Divine Beast appeared again?"
The suddenly appearing golden ring, and its ability to create wormholes that transcend time and space, Zhang Heng was all too familiar with this situation. In the Pokémon world, there is only one Pokémon that possesses this ability.
Roar! Zekrom let out a deafening roar, a sound that seemed to tear apart the entire space.
Immediately after, a surging, tempest-like electric-type energy suddenly burst forth, instantly condensing into a dazzling bolt of lightning that sped directly towards the golden ring with astonishing speed.
When the lightning struck the light gray arm in the ring, sparks flew, accompanied by crackling electric sounds, and the light gray arm trembled violently as if electrocuted.
After suffering such a fierce attack, it quickly retracted, disappearing into the ring in the blink of an eye. However, just then, an extremely angry roar suddenly came from within the mysterious ring: "Damn it, I've been hiding for so long, and I finally found your aura!"
Zekrom was not to be outdone, and snorted lightly, "Barbarian god, a mere waste."
Zekrom's entire body shone with dazzling lightning, like a meteor streaking across the sky, transforming into a brilliant stream of light at an astonishing speed!
Zekrom, like a brave and fearless mad dragon, was determined to slay its enemy, charging directly towards the mysterious and huge golden ring without hesitation.
Zhu Zi said in surprise, "What's going on?"
Zhang Heng responded, "Do you still remember the shrine your grandfather broke in South Vietnam?"
