Chapter 142 Seal
It has to be said that having a Pokémon that can fly is indeed very convenient.
Raven rode his Dragonite through the air, with an unobstructed view of the forests, towns, and mountains below.
"It's a pity that Kyurem, like Groudon, can't fly." Raven couldn't help but mutter to himself, otherwise he would have really liked to try what it would feel like to ride a level 1 flying mount.
However, unlike Groudon, if Kyurem fuses with the power of Reshiram or Zekrom to become White Kyurem or Dark Kyurem, it will gain the ability to fly.
Business matters.
Raven snapped out of his thoughts and fixed his gaze on the snow fairy in the forest below.
The snow fairy fled into the mountains and eventually hid in a cave halfway up the mountain.
That's it!
"Dragonite, that cave!" Raven warned.
"Woo!"
Dragonite responded and then landed in front of the cave.
Seeing them approaching, the snow fairy immediately stood guard in front of the cave, letting out a sharp cry.
"Xue Nuo!"
"Snow Fairy, you shouldn't have hurt the humans in the village!" Raven said.
At this moment, three holy swordsmen also arrived.
Seeing that the newcomers were hostile, the Snow Fairy immediately launched an attack on the group.
It waved its sleeve, releasing a gust of freezing wind that swept towards Raven.
Raven: "Dragonite, Fire Punch!"
A burst of scorching flames instantly erupted from Dragonite's claws as it swung its fist to meet the freezing wind.
The scorching wind from the punch instantly broke through the Snow Fairy's freezing wind and crashed head-on into its face.
The snow fairy's fragile body was immediately sent flying backward.
"Xue Nuo...!"
Realizing it was outmatched, it immediately tried to abandon its nest and flee.
But Raven would never give it that chance.
However, before it could attack, Terakion, Gopaloon, and Virigion surrounded it.
"Snow!" the Snow Fairy cried out in resentment.
The three holy swordsmen subdued him, and then followed Raven into the Snow Fairy's lair.
It's clear that the Snow Fairy is putting a lot of effort into decorating her lair.
The floor and walls of the cave were covered with a layer of crystal-clear ice. As you continued forward, you began to see groups of frozen humans.
There were men, women, and children among them.
Their faces remained frozen in terror, frozen in that moment.
These ice sculptures were placed throughout the cave as decorations.
"these are……"
Gopaloo frowned.
“The humans that the Snow Fairy has taken from the village over the years,” Raven said in a deep voice.
Raven's feelings were complicated. This was the first time since he transmigrated that he had witnessed Pokémon harming humans.
That's true... Just because it's not experienced in anime doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Everything has two sides.
In Raven's opinion, the Snow Fairy clearly had a better way to handle things.
If it likes men, it can choose a man it likes and live with him.
Instead of brutally freezing the opponent and bringing them back to the lair like this...
At that moment, Raven finally understood why humans in this era were so terrified of monsters.
"It's all because of this era," Raven mused. "Both Pokémon and humans lack understanding and knowledge of each other..."
Although he created a small utopia within his territory, the difficulty of changing the entire world single-handedly is unimaginable...
Raven realized that one person's strength is ultimately limited.
Just then, Kyurem's voice suddenly rang out from the depths of his heart.
"These humans are not completely dead yet."
Raven was slightly taken aback, then looked at the ice sculptures in front of him in disbelief.
He suddenly realized something—the physical constitution of humans in the Pokémon world is completely different from that of humans in his previous life!
The humans here can withstand 100,000 volts of electric shock, the baptism of a massive explosion, and the scorching heat of jet flames...
"Burstbug, use Flamethrower on these ice sculptures!" Raven immediately took out a Burning Bug Poké Ball.
"Meow!"
The burning insects spewed out scorching flames from their mouths, and in no time, the ice sculptures in front of them were melted into puddles of water.
The villagers who had been lured there by the snow fairy were initially filled with terror, and then they began to tremble and hug their arms.
"Beastmaster! Have you come to rescue us?" a man asked, sniffling.
“Yes, I was asked to do this by the village chief.” Raven nodded.
The villagers were immediately moved to tears.
Seeing that these people were unharmed, Raven breathed a sigh of relief.
Unfortunately, the intervals between the snow fairies' abductions of villagers were too long, and some villagers who had disappeared decades ago still lost their lives.
Seeing her prey released, the snow fairy's face showed an angry expression.
“Viligion, Gopaloon, Terakion, please escort these villagers back to their village,” Raven said to them. “Understood,” the Holy Swordsman nodded slightly, not refusing.
“These three magical beasts are my friends. They will protect you as you return to the village,” Raven said, looking at the surviving humans before him.
"Thank you, Beastmaster!" The villagers knelt down and then followed the Holy Swordsman away from the place.
Soon, only Raven and the Snow Fairy remained in the cave.
"Xue Nuo!" The Snow Fairy watched helplessly as her prey left, her face filled with rage, but there was nothing she could do.
"Snow Fairy, have you realized your mistake?" Raven asked.
"Xue Nuo!" The Snow Fairy gritted her teeth, unwilling to give up.
"You really like humans?" Raven suddenly asked.
This question seemed to have taken the Snow Fairy by surprise, and she was slightly taken aback.
It likes humans? That's right... those handsome men are just too beautiful for it to resist their allure, and it only wants to be with them forever.
“Your affection is built on hurting others.” Raven shook his head: “This isn’t affection; you’re just satisfying your own selfish desires.”
The Snow Fairy shut her mouth.
“If you really like a human, there are definitely better ways to be with them,” Raven said slowly.
"For example, you can slowly get closer to each other, become friends, and then become family. You will live together, work together, and enjoy delicious food together forever."
"In this way, you will have a human who can talk, laugh, and keep you company, instead of a cold ice sculpture, and you will never feel lonely again."
Upon hearing these words, the Snow Fairy was slightly taken aback.
“Xue Nuo…”
“So, now you know you did something wrong?” Raven asked.
"Xue Nuo!" The Snow Fairy gritted her teeth, refusing to admit her mistake.
It just likes to decorate its nest with men, what's wrong with that?!
Raven: "..."
"Hmph..." Kyurem's deep, weathered voice echoed from Raven's heart.
It seemed even it was somewhat speechless at this unrepentant Pokémon.
Raven couldn't bring himself to take the life of this snow fairy.
But if Raven lets it go, he can't make the decision for the deceased, and once they leave, this snow woman will likely continue to harm the villagers.
Raven fell into deep thought.
He was carefully considering how to handle the situation when, suddenly, Raven remembered a move that Kyurem possessed.
【seal】.
He asked, "Kyurem, can your seal work on this Snow Fairy?"
“Of course.” Kyurem asked, “What do you intend to do?”
“I cannot take its life, nor can I forgive it for the deaths of the humans, so I want to seal it away until it realizes its mistakes.”
"Hmm..." Kyurem's voice was deep: "Good idea. In that case, I will seal it away with my power until the day it realizes its mistake!"
The next second, Kyurem's figure appeared from the side.
Upon seeing Kyurem, the Snow Fairy's face immediately showed an expression of extreme terror.
But Kyurem didn't say anything. It snorted coldly, and with a flash of light, the Snow Fairy disappeared from her spot, replaced by an ice stone exuding a cold aura.
Raven gazed at the ice stone before him and slowly spoke:
"Froslass, I will take you to a human village. Use your eyes to see and your ears to hear how humans and Pokémon live together. When you understand the mistakes you have made, the seal will be broken, and you will regain your freedom. Then, you can atone for the people you have hurt in your own way."
"Ice Stone" did not respond.
Raven rode the Dragonite and brought it back to Kagome Village.
Inside Kagome Village, the villagers have reunited with their missing relatives, and they are embracing and weeping.
Upon seeing Raven return, the villagers, led by the village chief, immediately knelt down to express their gratitude.
"My Lord Beastmaster, thank you for saving everyone! There's nothing of value in the village, so please feel free to take anything you need or anything you fancy!"
These people treated him like one of those protagonists in a role-playing game who goes door-to-door searching through drawers and cabinets... Raven couldn't help but mutter to himself.
But thinking of the important matter at hand, he shook his head, took out the Ice Stone, and handed it to the village chief.
"My Lord Beastmaster, what is this?" The village chief was taken aback.
"Place this stone in the village, and from now on, no one will ever go missing here again."
Raven paused for a moment, then began to defend Kyurem, saying, "The monster that descended at night and abducted the villagers was not Kyurem."
The village chief was slightly taken aback. Although he didn't know what the stone was, he knew that the Beastmaster's actions had their own deeper meaning.
The village chief dared not delay and immediately decided to do as Raven instructed.
“Alright, now that things are resolved, we should leave,” Raven said.
At Dragonite's speed, they probably won't need an hour to return to their territory.
It took almost a week to get here, but it only took less than an hour to get back. It's so convenient.
"My Lord Beastmaster, won't you stay in the village a little longer? We haven't properly thanked you yet!" the village chief hurriedly urged.
“No need, I have things to do.” Raven shook his head.
"Please be careful on your journey!"
Raven nodded slightly, then put the Buffalo with the afro into a Poké Ball. For convenience, Cobalion and the others also entered the Poké Ball.
The Poké Ball is currently just a container and does not have the function of marking Pokémon or capturing them. For the three Swordsmen, it's just a free ride.
Raven flipped himself onto the Dragonite and sped off towards Raven City.
