After he finished writing the name, the Summoning Scroll vanished in a puff of white smoke.
Then images of one Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon after another appeared in his mind. Once they had all appeared, they turned into a roulette wheel.
Zhou Cheng's eye twitched. Damn it, I have to draw for it?
I've always had terrible luck!
But the system wasn't going to listen to him!
With no other choice, Zhou Cheng selected the start button in the center of the wheel with his mind.
The wheel began spinning rapidly, its pointer constantly changing targets.
Then it started to slow down, finally stopping on an image that pleased Zhou Cheng!
Tyranitar!
The tyrant of the desert!
Zhou Cheng's lips curled up. Nice, it was one of his favorite Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon.
He slapped his palm against the ground. A summoning array appeared, and then white smoke billowed upward. Accompanied by a roar that shook the heavens, a massive figure appeared in front of Zhou Cheng.
Over four meters tall, its entire body covered in hard scales.
It stood on two legs, much like a dinosaur.
It looked at Zhou Cheng, its eyes filled with confusion.
Why had it suddenly been brought here? Just then, some information appeared in its mind.
The person in front of it had summoned it!
He looked pretty weak!
Roar!
Another thunderous roar shook the floor of the hotel's top story.
"Easy, let's make a bet!"
Zhou Cheng knew it could definitely understand him. Pokémon were amazing, intelligent creatures.
Tyranitar stopped, its eyes questioning him.
"I'll stand here and let you hit me. If you can hurt me, I'll set you free!"
"If you can't, then you'll be my partner! You can stay in your own world most of the time and only have to appear when I summon you!"
Tyranitar watched Zhou Cheng silently, then nodded in agreement.
"We can't do it here. With your strength, you'll bring the place down!"
Zhou Cheng walked to the edge of the top floor and pointed at the ground!
Then he used Psychic to lift himself up and slowly descended toward the ground.
Tyranitar's eyes widened. You could use Psychic here, too?
Curious, it also walked to the edge of the top floor and looked down. Then it grinned and jumped straight off.
Given its weight, it fell incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it passed Zhou Cheng and crashed into the ground like a meteorite.
Boom!
The ground collapsed instantly, leaving a crater more than ten meters wide.
The commotion drew the attention of the Konoha Military Police Force and nearby residents. They cautiously gathered at a distance. When they saw Tyranitar in the crater, they froze in shock.
In the Hokage's office, Kakashi was calmly reporting the day's intelligence to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Your Twin Thunder Shock couldn't hurt him at all?"
"That's impossible!"
Hiruzen's eyes widened. He had even forgotten to take a puff of his pipe.
Kakashi nodded. He was already at a loss for words when it came to Zhou Cheng.
Someone like that could only be a friend, never an enemy!
Just then, a roar was followed by a tremendous crash, startling Kakashi and Hiruzen to their feet.
An enemy attack?
Impossible. This was the heart of the Hidden Leaf, with the strongest defenses. Even if an enemy attacked, they wouldn't choose to launch a surprise assault here.
"Lord Hokage, a monster just fell from the sky near the Hidden Leaf Hotel!"
"But it doesn't seem hostile!"
Kakashi and the Third Hokage exchanged a look. A monster?
"Let's go take a look!"
The Third Hokage led the way, with Kakashi and the Anbu following behind him.
Danzo and his Root forces were also drawn to the scene.
Zhou Cheng finally descended to the ground at a leisurely pace. Tyranitar let out an unhappy growl, as if to say, You're way too slow!
"Oh my god, someone just flew down from the sky!"
"How can people fly?"
"That monster seems to know him!"
"Wait, that guy looks familiar!"
"It's Mr. Zhou Cheng!"
"Is that monster his pet, too?"
Zhou Cheng covered his face with one hand. Damn it, I told you to come down, not like that!
Now look at this—there were so many people watching!
A few members of the Konoha Military Police Force stepped forward and called out to Zhou Cheng:
"Why are you causing such a commotion at night? Did you bring this monster here?"
Zhou Cheng wasn't angry. They were only doing their job.
"Keep your distance. It has a bad temper!"
"Be careful, or you might get hurt!"
More and more people gathered. Zhou Cheng looked awkward.
As more people recognized Zhou Cheng, they stopped being afraid and grew curious instead.
Had Mr. Zhou Cheng's summoned beast gone berserk?
How interesting!
Tyranitar didn't care how many people were around. All it wanted was its freedom.
Even being allowed out only once in a while wasn't good enough!
It stepped out of the crater and stood on the ground, roaring up at the sky. A Sandstorm immediately swept through the area.
Zhou Cheng's eyes lit up. Sand Stream!
The onlookers cried out in alarm. Did this monster have Earth Style powers?
The sand and wind made it impossible for them to keep their eyes open. They could only pull out strips of cloth and wrap them around their heads like dumplings, leaving one eye uncovered.
Who would have thought they'd get to experience what it was like to be in a desert right here in the Hidden Leaf!
Rock Slide!
Tyranitar growled. A pile of hard rocks appeared out of nowhere above Zhou Cheng and crashed down toward him.
Zhou Cheng neither dodged nor moved. He stood there calmly, letting the rocks hit his head.
The rocks seemed to have struck something even harder than themselves, shattering one after another.
Zhou Cheng stood there unharmed, smiling at Tyranitar.
Disbelief appeared in Tyranitar's eyes.
How was that possible?
Zhou Cheng looked up at the space above his head, but no numbers had appeared. Could his summoned beast really not deal any damage?
Everyone around them had the same reaction: of course, it was Mr. Zhou Cheng.
He was simply invincible!
Just then, two more groups arrived. It was the Third Hokage and Danzo's group.
As they entered the sandstorm, they realized that it wasn't ordinary sand. It carried an offensive property.
Although it wasn't very powerful, it was extremely annoying.
When they saw Tyranitar, they were all stunned.
So strong!
Just its presence alone surpassed that of an ordinary Jonin.
Tyranitar took two steps toward Zhou Cheng. The ground shook with each step.
An energy ball gathered in its mouth, and then it fired a thick beam of energy.
Zhou Cheng's pupils contracted. Hyper Beam!
The old Tyranitar was using its ultimate move!
The beam of light made everyone present change their expressions once more.
That kind of power already surpassed that of a Jonin!
What kind of creature was this?
Boom!
Hyper Beam struck Zhou Cheng, and its furious force sent everything around him flying.
The ground where he stood instantly filled with countless cracks.
Several ornamental trees by the road snapped in two under the energy waves.
When the dust cleared, Zhou Cheng was still standing in the same place, unharmed.
Apart from the enormous crater, he didn't have a scratch on him!
Everyone seeing him for the first time changed their expressions. Such power was truly terrifying!
They all looked at Tyranitar differently now!
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment in the other's eyes.
With power like this, it would have almost no rivals apart from a few Summoning Beasts!
And even they wouldn't dare take that energy attack head-on!
For the past few days, they'd heard people talking about Zhou Cheng. They'd heard how powerful he was from others, but they'd never fully believed it.
They'd assumed there must be some hidden reason behind it all.
Seeing it with their own eyes today, they were deeply shaken!
Zhou Cheng had simply stood still and taken an attack that even they wouldn't dare face head-on—and he hadn't suffered a scratch?
How was that possible!
