The Legendary God of the Sky—

?

Bai Zhou's pupils suddenly contracted, and his emotions fluctuated like a rollercoaster.

"Summon! Summon immediately!"

He never expected it to actually work!

What I just said was just a random, impulsive statement made out of resentment; I was already mentally prepared to be rejected without reciprocation.

but……

It actually works!!!

Bai Zhou forcibly suppressed his surging emotions, immediately rushed to the bedroom, picked up Gastly who was diligently studying military strategy on the bed, and earnestly said to it:

"Stop reading for now! The God of the Sky and the God of Justice, our founding general, your predecessor, is about to return!"

"Gah, gaah!? (Great, Great General!?)"

Σ(☉д⊙！)

Gastly looked shocked, its entire cloud of gas instantly freezing, its two beady eyes wide open.

As he spoke, the space in front of Bai Zhou distorted and fluctuated violently, like the surface of water.

A Poké Ball with a black cap, white base, and special gold dragon patterns appeared out of thin air and landed steadily in his hand.

It was heavy, as if it bore the weight of the sky.

Bai Zhou nervously swallowed, holding the petrified Gastly, and quickly walked to the center of the relatively empty living room.

After mentally preparing himself, he threw the special Poké Ball in his hand.

The dragon-patterned ball hit the floor with a crisp sound and then bounced high into the air.

The ball cover popped open.

In an instant, a dazzling golden dragon-shaped stream of light burst forth from it!

The stream of light swirled, coalesced, and stretched in the air...

Golden, majestic dragon eyes; a body hovering in mid-air; scales as black as jade…

The legendary god of the sky—

They descended upon this place.

Pokémon: Rayquaza (Shiny)

"Type: Dragon/Flying"

Category: Sky Pokémon

Gender: Genderless

"Characteristic: Airlock (Forcefully quells all weather conditions, isolating their effects)"

"Mastered moves: Finishing Touch, Hyper Beam, Dragon Dance, Tornado..."

Mood: Happy

Fun fact: Rayquaza's win rate against Caterpie is less than 100%.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

As Lie Kongzuo's familiar yet calm voice echoed in his mind, Bai Zhou's anxious heart finally settled down completely.

It's confirmed, this is his old comrade-in-arms who fought alongside him and shared life and death.

Countless fragments of the past flashed through my mind.

He opened his mouth, a thousand words churning in his throat, but in the end, they all turned into a soft, deeply emotional whisper.

"You've changed after all..."

"? 』

Lie Kongzuo was slightly taken aback. He was about to retort when he noticed something was amiss.

When did the white boat become so huge?

From its perspective at that moment, the other party was like a towering giant!

I sat at the same table as that guy, Toilet King.

Bai Zhou slowly stepped forward, and taking advantage of the dragon's unpreparedness, suddenly scooped it up. The dragon was less than an arm's length long.

He gripped the small yet still imposing dark dragon head of the Liekong Steed, deliberately putting on a stern face:

"Tell me! Who are you? Where did you hide my old buddy?"

"Don't act crazy here."

Liekong calmly raised its dragon head, staring with dead dragon eyes, its gaze filled with the look of someone looking at an idiot.

(￢_￢)

"Okay, stop fooling around."

Bai Zhou stopped joking and became serious.

"Tell me honestly, what's with your current tiny size? Did time travel involve shrinking? Does it affect your original body?"

The system summons should theoretically be error-free, but he couldn't help feeling worried.

Since they formed a bond, they have gone through countless life-and-death trials together. For him, Liekong is more than just a partner; he is an irreplaceable family member.

"Hmm..."

Liekong sat with his dragon claws crossed in front of his chest, looking completely nonchalant.

"I can't sense the authority of the sky for the time being, and the energy within my body is severely compressed. Forcibly returning to my normal eight or nine-meter height isn't difficult, but... I can probably only maintain it for a few breaths."

It paused, its tail swaying in mid-air.

"As for regaining my thousand-meter height, forget about it without the support of authority. However, even with this little power left, it's more than enough to protect you."

Bai Zhou frowned, silently repeating to himself.

Little A, please explain.

"Little A's Assistant reminds you: Divine Pokémon are unique in the world and have extremely high energy levels. 20,000 BP points can only support the optimized compressed summoning scheme (Note: BP points can be added to extend the maximum time to maintain the Ultimate form, but forcibly maintaining the Ultimate form will consume a large number of BP points)."

Ah this...

Does this mean that the remaining 80,000 BP points need to be gradually added before the final product can be obtained?

What's the difference between this and a pass?

Bai Zhou curled his lip.

Alright, I'm already pretty good that I can summon it with 20,000 BP points, what more could I ask for?

Having confirmed that it wasn't a major problem, he finally felt relieved, took a deep breath, and solemnly looked at the Sky Siege in his hand.

"Old buddy, long time no see."

"Hmph... To me, it's just a blink of an eye."

Liekong sat in a cold tone, seemingly trying to emphasize its indifference; it even turned its dragon head.

But its tail, which had nowhere to go and kept wagging and circling, was conspicuous no matter how you looked at it.

Little Kongzi, the arrogant version has already been removed.

Bai Zhou's lips twitched slightly. Helplessly, he put Rayquaza back into the air and casually pushed the stunned Gastly in his arms in front of it.

"Here, this is my crown prince, your future key protector and advisor. From now on, the two of you must get along well."

"Gah! (Great General!)"

Gastly sat upright, its eyes serious.

Lie Kong raised his eyes, scrutinized him for a moment, and let out a barely audible hum, which was considered a reluctant agreement.

"Oh, right."

Bai Zhou seemed to remember something and added:

"Give me a scale you don't need anymore, just a regular one. I'm going out for dinner later. Given your special status, are you planning to stay in the Dragon Pattern Ball and come with me, or stay home and guard the house?"

Because of the time he spent with her last night, Zhu Lan offered to treat him to dinner today, so he had to accept the invitation.

Yes, it's definitely not because of lust.

Lie Kongzuo perked up upon hearing Bai Zhou's words.

Staying in the ball or squatting at home.

It selects Or.

Although knowing its identity might bring a lot of trouble, as long as it wasn't discovered, it would be fine. It also wanted to see the new world where the white boat was located.

Rayquaza shrank its body again, the dragon coiled into the white boat's collar, and then a small, cute dragon head peeked out from the collar.

Immediately afterwards, a dark scale flew off its body and landed in the white boat's palm.

The dark scales are fan-shaped, about the size of a bottle cap, and emit a faint iridescent light, making them quite beautiful.

"You used to be the one riding me, now it's my turn to ride you."

"Okay, okay, whatever makes you happy."

Bai Zhou responded irritably, carefully put away the dark scales and dragon-patterned ball, tidied his appearance, and prepared to go out for the appointment.

As dusk falls, the city lights begin to illuminate the scene.

As Bai Zhou carried Gastly out of the research institute, he saw Zhu Lan, who was already waiting under the streetlight.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, would you like a taxi or...?"

Before Bai Zhou could finish speaking, he saw Zhu Lan smile gently, and naturally raise her hand to throw the Poké Ball from her waist.

A flash of light, and the majestic Garchomp appeared in the night. She gracefully flipped and leaped onto its back.

If we're not sisters, then what about me?

Seemingly sensing what Bai Zhou was thinking, a mischievous glint flashed in Zhu Lan's eyes.

"Don't worry, Garchomp will hold you."

Hesitantly speaking...

Bai Zhou raised an eyebrow and looked at the ferocious-looking Garchomp.

"Rumble—"

Garchomp growled, somewhat displeased.

Why is this man so indecisive?

With a swift, powerful scoop, it lifted him and the Gastly in its arms into a perfect princess carry.

The next second, Garchomp slammed its legs off the ground and shot straight into the sky.
