Both sides are accumulating that enormous energy, and both are using every means to interfere with, predict, and avoid the opportunity when the other might launch the Z-move!
Every detail, every decision (by Li, Qian, and Zhao), was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.
Lin Che felt as if he was not watching a battle, but rather observing two gods waging a war that would determine the future of the world, using the heavens and earth as a chessboard!
The final moments of the battle.
The two already wounded but increasingly terrifying spirits abandoned all defense and evasion.
They chose the most primitive and also the most brutal method.
Trade injury for injury!
"Dragon's Dive!"
"Comet Punch!"
Dragonite's entire body was enveloped in an extremely dazzling blue dragon-shaped energy, transforming into a blue shooting star that pierced through the heavens and earth!
On Metagross's iron arm, a radiance like that of the stars in the universe gathered, and its entire body transformed into an indestructible silver comet!
boom--! ! !
The entire video feed was engulfed by a blinding, pure white light.
No sound.
There was no shockwave.
Only the ultimate light and heat can reduce everything to nothingness.
As the light slowly faded, the image returned to normal.
The two Heavenly Kings finally appeared, and they simultaneously recalled their partners who had exhausted all their strength and were on the verge of collapse.
draw.
This is the only, and most reasonable, outcome.
The video recording ended, and the tactical simulation room returned to calm.
Lin Che remained stiffly seated in the chair, his muscles trembling slightly and uncontrollably. His mind was blank, the devastating, silent roar still echoing in his ears.
After a long while, he regained control of his body, his chest heaving violently as he greedily inhaled the cold air in the room.
This is... the realm of the Heavenly King.
He finally understood the true meaning of those four words deeply and intuitively.
That's no longer just a trainer.
That is a land deity who single-handedly performs the power of "natural disasters"!
An unprecedented and more intense desire erupted from the depths of his soul, burning wildly throughout his body!
He has a clearer understanding of his future path.
He wants to become that kind of person!
Chapter 64 Better to have none than something bad, the legendary Stardust of Destiny!
That earth-shattering, world-class duel has ended for several hours.
Lin Che sat alone on the sofa in his mentor's study, the scorching smell of the energy collision still lingering in his nostrils, and the roar of the dragon-type spirit that could tear the sky apart still echoing in his ears.
His fingertips tapped lightly on the sofa armrest unconsciously, and in his mind, he was replaying every moment of that battle over and over again at a thousand times slower speed.
The battles at the King-level have completely transcended the scope of skill power and attribute counters.
It was an ultimate art that incorporated tactics, psychology, timing, and even the most subtle habits of Pokémon. He witnessed firsthand how his mentor's Dragonite, due to a mere delay in energy connection, was caught off guard by the opponent's Tyranitar, who disrupted its flight rhythm with a Rock Slide and nearly took it out with a subsequent combo.
Any tiny flaw, in a battle at that level, will be magnified infinitely by the opponent under a microscope.
Ultimately, it evolved into a fatal gap that could overturn the entire battle.
In the past, he was proud of his team's composition. Arcanine's ferocity, Dragonair's elegance, and Brave Eagle's sharpness—each one was among the best of their kind.
But now, an unprecedented sense of urgency, like an icy tide, overwhelmed his heart.
His team still lacks a true core player.
An absolute "brain" capable of seeing the big picture, predicting the opponent, and connecting all tactical nodes.

"Professor, you're right. My team needs a perfect 'brain'."
Lin Che raised his head, breaking the long silence in the study. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a hardened quality that had been thoroughly tempered. The confusion and shock in his eyes had completely faded, leaving only a pure and sharp determination.
The old professor, sitting behind his desk, was slowly and methodically cleaning a set of Yixing teaware with bamboo tongs. Hearing Lin Che's words, he didn't stop what he was doing, but he glanced over out of the corner of his eye, a knowing smile playing on his lips.
"It's good that you have this awareness."
The old professor poured boiling tea into the pot, and a refreshing aroma instantly filled the air. He pushed a cup of clear tea towards Lin Che before finally looking up, his gaze gentle yet profound.
"The path to becoming a king is all about 'perfection'. Either you develop a single attribute, tactic, or Pokémon to its fullest potential, or you hone the entire team into a flawless and perfectly cohesive unit."
"The former is a solitary overlord, the latter is an uncrowned king. If you choose the latter path, it means that every step you take must be more rigorous and more clear-headed than the former."
The old professor picked up his teacup and gently blew away the rising steam.
"So, do you have a suitable goal in mind?"
Lin Che's lips moved, and in the end, he chose to reveal all his predicament.
(bjbj) He described in detail how he used the Eye of Truth to screen countless Psychic-type Pokémon, but was still unable to find the perfect individual with the potential to break through the "Elite Four" threshold.
Finally, he lowered his voice, almost whispering, and uttered the utterly unfamiliar term that the system had presented directly to his mind.
"Fate/Stardust".
"Snapped."
A soft sound.
The old professor's teacup landed heavily on the mahogany desk, splashing a few drops of warm tea that left a damp mark on the back of his hand.
For the first time, a complex expression of shock, astonishment, and disbelief appeared on the face of this king who had commanded the Dragon Legion and stood at the pinnacle of the Alliance for decades.
The air in the study seemed to be sucked out in that instant.
"Where...did you learn this word?"
His voice was no longer that of a gentle elder, but carried an unquestionable majesty and oppressive aura emanating from the Dragon King.
Lin Che did not hide anything, attributing the existence of the system prompt to his special perceptual talent in a relatively vague way.
The old professor stared intently into his eyes, as if trying to see through all the secrets deep within his pupils.
After a long while, the oppressive aura slowly subsided.
He leaned back in his chair, lost in a distant, almost timeless reverie. The light in the study made his graying temples stand out starkly.
"Fate/Stardust..."
He repeated the word to himself, his tone filled with a certain awe.
"Regarding this thing, I have spent my whole life searching and have only seen a few vague descriptions in the oldest and most incomplete documents of the Alliance that are listed as the highest level of taboo and record the myths of time and space."
The old professor's gaze became incredibly solemn, as if he were revealing a secret that could overturn one's worldview.
"It is not a physical substance."
"It's more like a concept, a product of a phenomenon. Legend has it that when the two fundamental axes of time and space are violently distorted by some great force, and even briefly intersect, it is possible for a wisp of... crystallized energy to escape from the spacetime rift that opens in that instant."
As Lin Che spoke, his heart began to pound uncontrollably.
He could almost see two invisible dragons tearing at each other and colliding at the end of the universe, the sparks that flew out being the so-called "stardust of destiny".
According to historical records, the theoretical possibility of observing this phenomenon only exists in sacred sites that have the most direct and profound connection with the legendary mythical beasts.
The old professor lowered his voice even further.
"For example, the bell tower in the Johto region that is said to be able to hear Ho-Oh's heartbeat, or the Time Altar in the Sinnoh region that was created by Dialga and Palkia."
"Only in these places, when an extremely rare phenomenon known to the ancients as the 'tide of time and space' occurs, is it possible, only possible, for a single grain to condense."
One grain.
The old professor held up one finger, his tone filled with indescribable emotion.
"This kind of thing is a gift from the realm of gods, something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after. Its value cannot be measured in money. Any exclusive item of a divine beast pales in comparison to it."
This news was like a thunderclap that pierced the heavens and the earth, exploding in Lin Che's mind!
It revealed to Lin Che an ultimate goal he had never imagined, a goal belonging to the realm of the gods, a goal that truly transcends all worldly powers.
But at the same time, it also brought a sense of powerlessness that was almost suffocating.
A sacred land of mythical beasts? A time-space tide?
He knew that with his current strength and status, he wouldn't even have the right to approach those forbidden areas that were under the strict surveillance of the Alliance, let alone explore them.
That's like a mortal trying to pluck the sun from the sky.
A fool's dream.
Lin Che's chest heaved violently, and the fervor in his eyes was gradually replaced by calm.
He needs time.
It needs to grow.
In the future, before he has the strength to engage in equal dialogue with the world, he must find a more realistic and feasible path.
"Destiny Stardust" is his ultimate ideal, the perfect throne he reserved for the team's "brain".
But before that, he needs a superhuman partner with top potential to help him reach the world stage.
A plan quickly took shape in his mind.
He wants to travel all over the world to the top-tier Pokémon breeding bases with the most abundant resources.
He didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to find an elf that met his requirements on the vast world map.
Perhaps it's not a perfect 6V, or perhaps its characteristics aren't the most ideal hidden features.
