🩸 NEW STORY: All Immortals Are Evil! (AIAE-En)
My master was a thief, a murderer, and a lunatic, and he was convinced that somewhere in the world there was a land where immortals could be sown.
All I wanted was to survive his next bad mood.
He wanted immortality. I wanted him dead. In a world like this, neither seemed impossible.
Because here, everyone dreams of holy immortals: pure, radiant, bathed in divine light. I used to imagine them that way too, until I met the ones who truly hold power.
They speak of virtue, of destiny, of the greater good… always with the blood of innocents on their hands. Here, the road to eternity is paved with madness and human sacrifice.
And the worst part? Next to them, my master almost looked like a saint...
Welcome to a world where all immortals are evil!

"Ethan, it seems this was his doing."
"As expected of an Elite-level Trainer. He has completely seen through the opponent's strategy."
Brandon's gaze fell on Ethan, who was on the field, and he smiled faintly.
"The key to the next battles should be the third round."
"The captain of the opposing team is also very strong. Although in overall strength he can't compare to Ethan, in a Gym battle, victory or defeat is still uncertain."
Besides Brandon, some people present had also seen Ethan's arrangement.
Although in the first and second battles both teams had won and lost once, when observing the details, in the first battle the second strongest of the Ironvale region faced the third strongest of the Duskwell region, and in the second battle the weakest of the Ironvale region faced the second strongest of the Duskwell region. After that comparison, the Ironvale region had obtained a great advantage.
And the third battle that was about to begin would be the key to this round: the battle between the strongest of both teams!
"We caught him."
Seeing this result, Ryan and the others showed joy on their faces.
Having Ethan face the strongest of the other team was precisely what they wanted to see.
At the same time, a sigh of relief was also heard from the Duskwell region's team.
They also had full confidence in their captain, Nolan Rivers!
Moreover, having the captains of both teams face each other in the third battle was something they had also carefully considered.
In terms of strength, their captain was a participant in the Elite Tournament, and he was even a powerful Trainer ranked among the top fifty.
In addition, what their captain was best at was Water-type Pokémon, while Ethan specialized in Fire-type Pokémon. In this battle, their captain had an absolute advantage.
"Being among the top fifty of the Elite Tournament really is a very high position."
"In the current ranking of the Elite Tournament, the top thirty Trainers have one or two Pokémon that have reached the Elite level."
"And the Trainers among the top fifty, although their Pokémon have not yet reached the Elite level, they are surely not far from that level."
"This battle can truly be described as a fight between equals!"
When the guests saw the matchup list, one after another, they began to feel anticipation.
Very soon, under everyone's expectant gazes, Ethan and Nolan went onto the stage.
"Leader Ethan, your ability to arrange the lineup really is good. In the first two rounds, I was the one who fell into a disadvantage."
"But what a pity, in the third round I caught you. As long as I defeat you, the advantages you gained before can be completely ignored."
After going onto the stage, Nolan smiled at Ethan, wanting to use those words to pressure him a little.
"You caught me?"
"Are you sure I wasn't the one who caught you?"
Ethan also smiled. The real situation was exactly like that.
In terms of overall strength, naturally the Duskwell region had the advantage. Only if he obtained a victory in this battle would there be hope of taking the series to the fifth round, where Rachel could obtain victory.
Therefore, this time, it could be said that he had caught Nolan, not that Nolan had caught him.
"Looks like you did it on purpose?"
"Very well. Then I'll personally defeat you and make you give up!"
Nolan let out a cold snort, and the Poké Ball in his hand released a white light.
Afterward, the figure of Blastoise appeared, and the cannons on its back pointed directly toward Ethan, with an appearance full of fighting spirit.
Seeing this, Ethan also released his Poké Ball and let out Charizard.
The first round of this battle directly became a confrontation between starters from the Kanto region!
"The battle has begun. Blastoise, use Hydro Pump!"
"Charizard, respond with Flamethrower."
The orders of both sounded almost one after another, and at the same time, the two Pokémon could be seen launching their attacks.
The move Hydro Pump and the move Flamethrower collided in the air. Water and fire intertwined, transforming into a layer of steam.
Seeing that ordinary flames could do nothing to Blastoise, Charizard's entire body began to burn with Solar Fire.
Ethan originally thought that the move Flamethrower converted into Solar Fire could suppress the opponent in one go, but Blastoise also deployed a technique of the Hydro Pump move compressed several times.
The Solar Fire and the compressed Hydro Pump move collided, becoming evenly matched again. The Solar Fire did not gain an advantage, showing the power of Blastoise's compressed Hydro Pump move. In that attack, some other technique seemed to have been vaguely integrated.
Boom, boom, boom!
On the field, both Pokémon released moves without ceasing, beginning an intense battle.
In this clash between water and fire, the two Pokémon ended up tied for the moment.
Seeing this scene, the other Gym Leaders present showed serious expressions.
"It was blocked. This is getting complicated."
Seeing that Charizard was unable to overpower Blastoise for the moment, those from the Ironvale region became nervous.
If Ethan lost, then perhaps this matchup would be lost for them.
"Good work. I didn't expect your Charizard to also be so strong."
"What a pity. This is not the true strength of my Blastoise!"
Seeing this scene, Nolan showed a confident smile.
After hearing its Trainer's words, one of Blastoise's cannons suddenly shone.
Immediately after, a water cannon that emitted a terrifying energy fluctuation was released and shot toward Charizard.
This time, in the clash between the move Flamethrower and the move Hydro Pump, Blastoise's water cannon directly pierced through the move Flamethrower.
Fortunately, Charizard reacted quickly and dodged the attack of the Hydro Pump move at the last moment.
"Did it compress the Hydro Pump move once again?"
Seeing this, Ethan showed a thoughtful expression, vaguely feeling that this move was not as simple as compressing the Hydro Pump move.
And at that moment, Blastoise's other cannon also began to shine. Another water cannon with terrifying power was fired!
Charizard's body burned with flames as its figure moved quickly through the air. On one hand, it used Solar Fire to weaken the power of the water cannon, and then dodged. It managed to avoid the attack with relative ease.
"That power of the Hydro Pump move... could it be the move Hydro Cannon?"
Recalling the Hydro Pump move used by Blastoise, Ethan narrowed his eyes.
Hydro Cannon is an ultra-powerful explosive move exclusive to starter Pokémon, with a terrifying power of 150 points. It is a terrible move that is not inferior to the move Rock Wrecker!
Now, Blastoise fired it through the cannons on its back, making the power of the Hydro Cannon move become even more terrifying.
However, the side effect of the Hydro Cannon move was also very great: after using it, the body became unable to move. This point was the same as the side effect of moves like Rock Wrecker.
As for this weakness, Nolan seemed to have specially trained Blastoise. By firing through a single cannon, Blastoise divided this Water-type move into two shots, making the second shot of the Hydro Cannon move conceal the side effect of the first.
