🩸 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!

"Hydro Cannon, Blast Burn, and Frenzy Plant."
"I didn't expect that in this world there would really be someone who developed those moves that only starters can learn."
After deducing that the move used by Blastoise was probably Hydro Cannon, a strange expression appeared in Ethan's eyes.
As for the move Blast Burn, in reality, he had also tried to train Charizard to master that move.
Moreover, through the explosive properties of the flames that Magmortar mastered, he had also tried to analyze the principle of the move Blast Burn, but Charizard still could not comprehend it.
That move was quite important for some of his breeding ideas. If he could successfully research the move Blast Burn, perhaps Magmortar could rely on it to complete its breakthrough.
"Next, let me observe the move Hydro Cannon properly."
Ethan thought inwardly and looked toward the field, where the two Pokémon were still fighting an intense battle.
Relying on Solar Fire, Charizard was like a rocket. It used the energy generated by the violent combustion of the flames to move quickly across the field.
By concentrating all its energy on movement, Blastoise's Hydro Cannon could not hit Charizard in the air at all. One column of water after another continuously missed.
After discovering that this move was Hydro Cannon, Ethan instead stopped rushing and wanted to take the opportunity to observe it properly.
Just like Rhyperior's Rock Wrecker move, although Blastoise had temporarily overcome the side effects of the Hydro Cannon move, the consumption of physical energy was still extremely enormous. That state undoubtedly could not be maintained for long.
"That Charizard... is very strong."
"Blastoise, even using Hydro Cannon, hasn't been able to do anything to it."
Just as Ethan had predicted, Nolan, seeing that the battle had not been decided after so long, began to grow irritated.
If this continued, Blastoise would probably be worn down alive by Charizard and eventually fall from lack of energy.
"Blastoise, full-power Hydro Cannon!"
Hearing Nolan's words, Blastoise's gaze sharpened.
Immediately after, the two cannons on its back shone at the same time, and two streams of water were fired simultaneously!
The firing speed of those two streams of water was extremely fast, directly blocking two of Charizard's movement routes.
"Charizard, use Dragon Dance."
Seeing this scene, Charizard also moved.
While maintaining the Solar Fire over its body, it used the move Dragon Dance.
The Solar Fire enveloping Charizard's entire body could be seen rising and transforming into a dancing fire dragon that spun around Charizard.
Boom!
A violent explosion suddenly resounded.
The flames and the water cannon shots collided fiercely, and a mist of steam dispersed.
"It hit!"
Nolan's face showed joy.
But in the next instant, a dragon roar suddenly sounded, making his heart sink.
From the white mist, Charizard's figure shot out rapidly. Its entire body was wrapped in flames, and it crashed directly into Blastoise.
Due to the side effect of using the move Hydro Cannon at full power, Blastoise could not move and received the impact head-on, being sent flying backward.
In midair, Charizard connected with the move Flamethrower, directly ending the battle.
"It ends like this?"
"So strong. That Charizard is also too strong."
"It seems this Charizard already completely possesses the strength to aspire to the Elite level."
Seeing this scene, the guests in the honored area were stunned.
"So strong, it's Ethan."
"In the next battles, we must avoid encountering him at all costs."
At that moment, the Gym Leaders of other regions had that same thought.
In a frontal battle, none of them had confidence to face Ethan directly.
Just like this time, Nolan's defeat also left the Duskwell region team in a bad situation.
In the fourth battle, the Ironvale region lost without surprise, allowing the Duskwell region to recover some hope.
However, the one who went onto the stage in the fifth battle was, in fact, the weakest Trainer of their team, and Rachel defeated him very easily.
After this round, the Ironvale region advanced to the semifinals with relative ease, thus completing their initial objective.
"Phew, semifinals. If we win one more time, we'll enter the final."
After returning, the Trainers of the Ironvale region were very excited.
When the tournament began, the Ironvale region had set reaching the semifinals as their goal. Now it could be said that they had passed the Gym Leader evaluation, and they would also receive a good reward, enough to greatly improve the facilities of their Gyms.
"Now that we've already defeated the Duskwell region, do you think we have hope of winning the championship?"
Rachel was currently reviewing the information on the remaining opponents. Their next opponent would be the Solaris region.
Because the Solaris region had Leo Cross, a Champion, as its main figure, the development of the region in recent years had been extremely fast.
In addition, thanks to its abundant resources and Secret Kingdoms, the Solaris region could be considered a paradise for explorers.
Under these circumstances, the Gym Leaders of the Solaris region were all very strong. Moreover, the regional strength of Solaris was also the highest level within the Daleron League.
"The Solaris region, huh... it'll be difficult."
Ethan was also looking at the data on their next opponent and sighed.
He knew the Gym Leaders of the Solaris region very well.
Precisely because of that, he was the one who best knew how powerful the forces behind those Gyms were.
Not to mention Leader Brandon of Emberfall City, someone like Andrea Williams from the Gullhaven City Gym had the Sky Clan behind her; and the Leader of Ferraria City, moreover, came from the Silver family. Their foundations were truly too deep.
Thinking of Leader Brandon, Ethan's eyes narrowed slightly.
When the battle from a moment ago ended, that gaze from Leader Brandon had truly been meaningful.
"A direct challenge in the first round?"
"Perfect. I'm also very much looking forward to completing that battle that was left unfinished."
Ethan took a deep breath. He had no reason to reject that challenge.
At the same time, defeating Leader Brandon might also become the key battle of this matchup.
...
The next day, the semifinals began.
"Ethan against Brandon!"
"The first battle is nothing less than king against king!"
Seeing the two standing on both sides of the field, the other Gym Leaders began to feel great anticipation.
Moreover, from the situation of both Leaders, it could be seen that both Ethan and Brandon were Trainers very skilled with Fire-type Pokémon.
This battle, without a doubt, would become an internal war between Fire-type Pokémon!
"You really didn't disappoint me."
Brandon looked at Ethan and smiled with great satisfaction.
After the Ironvale region finished their battle yesterday, he had indeed issued a challenge.
Now it seemed that Ethan had accepted his challenge head-on.
"I have no reason to reject it."
"Whether for personal reasons or for the team."
Ethan replied with a smile. The Poké Ball in his hand opened, and Charizard's figure appeared on the field!
