Pokémon: My Dad is Kyurem

Chapter 188 Strange Connection

It's no wonder she's a core member of the emotional team; Little Soft is practically twisted into a maggot in Yulijia's hands now. Oh wait, no, he's a maggot now too.

"I was so close... I wanted to win too..." Xiao Ruan kept recounting how he had lost this most historic, traditional, and prestigious competition, a competition that, because of his status as a god, he might not be able to participate in even once every few hundred years. How cruel it was that he, as a god, had lost.

Little Ruan burst into tears, at least a whole basin full. No one could have imagined that such a small body could contain so much water. It's not scientific!

"How can there be such a spirit? What is that white, transparent thing? It's even worse than a pendulum! How can it jump directly to the Elite Four limit?!" Little Soft rolled around wildly in Yulijia's hand, and Qihao couldn't bear to watch anymore.

"At worst, I'll find some time to have Xiao Tie fight you again." Qi Hao stepped forward and poked him with his finger, which felt like jelly.

"It's no use. If we can't beat them now, we'll be even less likely to beat them in the future. Unrestrained power is the most terrifying thing." Xiao Ruan looked at Qi Hao.

He examined it closely, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "How come you're acting like nothing happened, going through that reckless evolution? Even if you didn't die, you should have been left with aftereffects. You wouldn't be able to use this move freely anymore, that's a limitation! A limitation of... balance..."

After saying that, Xiao Ruan listlessly slumped back down: "I forgot you beat me. This is unbearable. An unlimited cheat is about to appear. Go wash up and go to sleep."

"Um, Xiaoruan, can you tell me about it? I'm curious too. What kind of restrictions are you referring to?" Yulijia's interest was piqued. With Xiaoruan doing this, it was hard for her not to be interested.

Qi Hao also came over, wanting to know exactly what he had won back.

"Under normal circumstances, if a person's strength becomes too great, it will naturally be limited. For example, the Heavenly Kings of China all have their own concerns. Champions, on the other hand, face even greater limitations. For instance, the champion from the north has to guard the Sky Tower."

The person most restricted here is probably that Song Chenggong. Hmm, his name is easy to remember. As for you, you've really hit the jackpot; if it weren't for the competition, you wouldn't even be eligible.

Normally, people are bound without warning, but you defeated me beforehand, so your fate was changed; otherwise, you would already be restricted.

"No? Didn't I break the cycle of fate to win? How come it's the other way around that I defeated you to change my fate?" Qi Hao was quite upset now.

“That’s fine too. After all, it’s part of fate. If you break the old fate, the new one will naturally emerge.” Xiao Ruan said eloquently. “But the real fate is the past and the present, not the future. And the price of changing fate is life and will.”

"Life? Willpower? Because I risked everything back then?" Qi Hao was completely confused. Why did this sound like a charlatan's?

"Do you expect the god who represents order to tell you your destiny? In the end, order is just a part of fate, only it's more important. Besides, if I told you everything, would I still be the god of order?" Xiao Ruan only has one eye, but Qi Hao could still see his disdain.

"Can't riddle tellers just die?! Do you all like to only say half of what you mean?!" Qi Hao was so angry he wanted to go up and kill him! He couldn't stand these disgusting people!

"But speaking of which, Principal Song's restrictions are actually greater than those of the champion?" Although Qi Hao had expected this, he did not expect it to be this exaggerated. Was it because he had reached the limit of his physical skills?

"Wait a minute, shouldn't he have already broken his fate with physical skills? How come he still..." Qi Hao was about to ask when Xiao Ruan jumped up and hit Qi Hao on the head, but unfortunately, it didn't hurt him and bounced back.

"What does breaking fate have to do with my balance! Although I am a part of fate and can influence it, I never said that fate can influence me! How do you interpret that!" Xiao Ruan complained for a while.

Qi Hao fell silent. Now everything made sense. The relationship between fate and balance wasn't complicated. Balance could influence fate in one direction, and was part of fate, but fate couldn't influence balance... How strange.

"Let me tell you one last thing: Super Bond Evolution doesn't exist. If you want this form to appear, you need to have enough resilience..." Little Soft is quite selfish now; he wants to know what the form that defeats him will ultimately look like.

"Of course I know, I even had a brain hemorrhage." Qi Hao propped his head up in bewilderment. How could the top-tier Clear Mirror Still Water Heart be assigned to Zekrom? He had absolutely no clue.

"Don't interrupt! I haven't finished yet! You need the power of ideals, and it would be best if you also had real power. Just the ability to withstand things isn't... enough... huh?" Xiao Ruan was about to get angry, but then she watched as Qi Hao took out the Dark Stone and was speechless.

"Zekhrom...is coming to my doorstep?" Little Soft was dumbfounded. Of all the heroes to choose, why did you have to choose Kyurem's son?

"I don't know, maybe it's just fate again." Qi Hao naturally put away the Dark Stone. Whenever people come into contact with something like fate, they either become extreme or give up. Qi Hao leans towards the latter.

Czechrom: Ah! Holy crap! Aaaaaah! Mom! I want to go home! Aaaaaah! Oh… I don’t have a mom…

"Alright, go and call your apprentice over. I have something to say to him privately." Mo Zicheng pushed Song Chenggong out of the room, and then saw Qi Hao in the hall. "Perfect timing, Qi Hao, come here."

Qi Hao hesitated for a moment, but Song Chenggong pushed him in first, saying, "My good disciple! Whether my relationship with my senior can be repaired depends on you!"

As soon as Qi Hao entered, Song Chenggong closed the door, making it seem as if Qi Hao was trying to escape.

As Qi Hao entered, he was quickly drawn to a hospital bed. A Zoroark in its emerald form lay there, a truly horrific sight. Its limbs were all severed, half of its body was missing, countless wounds covered its entire body, and its breath was extremely weak. Numerous instruments and test tubes were connected to its body, seemingly devices to keep it alive.

"This is...?!" Qi Hao was about to ask a question, but was quickly stopped by Mo Zicheng.

"Shh, keep your voice down, she's asleep. Sorry, I don't have any more rooms. I usually sleep in the living room." Mo Zicheng put his finger to his lips; it was already a rare treat that his old friend was able to sleep.

"Kid, for the rest of our conversation, I want you to tell the whole truth. Can you do that? It includes my advice to you, and your evaluation of Song Chenggong, etc." He carefully picked up two stools and gestured for Qi Hao to sit opposite him.

Qi Hao sat down without ceremony: "There are some things I choose not to say, because I'm not a liar."

"That's good."
