Chapter 481: Pokemon master of tactics: Chapter 481
Several decades passed, and the desert changed—slowly at first, and then all at once.
What had once been scattered territories and loosely defined hunting grounds developed into something far more structured. Under his presence, the Flygon pack expanded steadily, drawing in more of their kind while forcing other Pokémon either into submission or out of the region entirely.
Although the pack rarely left its core territory, its influence extended across nearly the entire desert. It would not have been an exaggeration to call them the true overlords of that land.
At the center of it all stood the one the others had long since begun to regard with a mixture of reverence and fear.
The Horned Desert King.
Time had only intensified what he had always been.
His growth, which had once been rapid and abnormal, eventually slowed, but it never truly stopped. Even as the years passed, he continued refining his moves, gaining experience through countless battles against the strongest Pokemon(s) the desert had to offer.
Eventually, however, those battles lost their meaning.
There were no longer any opponents capable of challenging him in a meaningful way. No fight required him to adapt, and no enemy pushed him to his limits. At some point, he reached a level of strength that no other Pokémon in the desert had ever approached.
