🩸 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!
📖 Now available on my Patreon, with advance chapters.

"Charizard, huh."
"Looks like I'll also have to show some true skill."
Brandon's gaze swept over Charizard from top to bottom, and then he threw the Poké Ball in his hand.
Then, a fire-red moth appeared on the field.
The eyes of that scarlet moth were blue, and a pair of red antennae surrounded its cheeks.
Its body was robust, with a layer of white fur around the upper part. It also had four small legs. The center of its abdomen was black, and the outer part was light blue.
The most peculiar thing was the three pairs of orange wings growing from its back. In addition, there were black spots both on the wings and on the outer part of the abdomen.
"So it's Volcarona. This Pokémon isn't exactly common."
Seeing Volcarona on the field, Ethan's face became serious.
"Come on. Let me see the full power of your Charizard."
After releasing Volcarona, the corners of Brandon's lips rose.
As soon as his voice fell, Volcarona began to flap its wings.
In the next instant, an incomparably terrifying energy fluctuation spread from Volcarona's body, making everyone's expressions change drastically.
"This energy fluctuation... Elite level!"
A guest in the honored area stood up abruptly, surprise in his eyes.
He had not expected that in this Regional Gym Leader Exchange Tournament, an Elite-level Pokémon would appear.
"An Elite-level Pokémon... how are we supposed to fight against that?"
Seeing this, the other Gym Leaders also showed expressions of helplessness.
"Elite level, huh."
Ethan looked at the Volcarona in front of him and breathed softly.
Then he looked to the other side and discovered that Brandon was also watching him, provocation in his eyes.
"Well, really. Charizard, then show him your full power."
Hearing Ethan's words, Charizard nodded. Then, the flame on its tail could be seen gradually beginning to burn with golden fire. A force that also belonged to the Elite level suddenly erupted!
"Charizard... is also Elite level?"
In that instant, the entire place erupted in commotion. Everyone stared blankly at the two Pokémon on the field.
The guest who had already sat down before, upon seeing this, stood up again with an expression of astonishment.
"The third Elite-level Pokémon."
"This Ethan already has the strength to challenge an Elite."
Seeing this scene, another guest took a deep breath to calm himself.
Possessing three Elite-level Pokémon, combined with some Pokémon capable of facing that level, and supported by appropriate tactics, certainly already gave him the qualification to challenge an Elite.
"This Ethan, being so young, is already at the Elite level?"
Although the facts were already in front of them, some Gym Leaders still felt that they could not accept it. Especially because of Ethan's age. Up to now, even counting everything, Ethan was barely twenty-two years old, right?
Since he participated in his first Rookie King challenge until now, how much time had passed?
"He was already Elite level a long time ago."
"Originally, I thought he had only focused on raising one Pokémon. Now it seems his focus isn't limited to a single Pokémon: Melmetal, Lucario, Charizard... And besides them, there are his starter Pokémon, Sandslash, Cacturne, Slowking, and the others. His foundation is too deep!"
Some people very familiar with Ethan sighed lightly. Now even they were not sure whether, besides Melmetal, Lucario, and Charizard, there was a fourth or even a fifth Elite-level Pokémon in Ethan's hands.
"You really didn't disappoint me."
Seeing that Charizard displayed corresponding strength, Brandon nodded in satisfaction.
At the same time, his gaze also stopped on the golden flame on Charizard's tail.
"This golden flame... could it be life fire?"
"No, although this flame looks very much like life fire, it definitely isn't."
Observing the Solar Fire burning on Charizard's tail, Brandon made guesses inwardly.
Of course, the other Leaders present were also observing the golden flame, shocked without knowing why.
The flame on Charizard's tail could be considered, in a certain sense, Charizard's life energy. It was the first time they had seen a Charizard's tail undergo such a change.
"This must be the key that allowed Charizard to break through to the Elite level. If that flame could be obtained..."
On the field, some Trainers specialized in Fire-type Pokémon began to show flickering gazes.
"The battle has begun."
"Volcarona, use Heat Wave."
After a brief astonishment, Brandon spoke.
"Charizard, we'll also use Heat Wave."
Ethan spoke at the same time, ordering Charizard to counterattack.
After both gave their orders, the two Pokémon flapped their wings at the same time.
A gust of wind rose, mixed with flames, and headed toward the opponent.
However, although both used the move Heat Wave, there was a great difference between them.
Volcarona's Heat Wave move was mixed with ordinary flames, while Charizard's Heat Wave move was mixed with golden flames.
One red and one golden. The two seas of fire formed by the Heat Wave move were clearly separated, allowing the violent clash between both burning currents to be seen clearly.
Boom!
The two currents collided, and a terrifying energy erupted violently.
"Charizard is taking the advantage!"
Seeing the result of the clash between the two attacks, Ryan spoke with excitement.
Just looking at the result, the golden flames were suppressing the red flames.
"Wait, the situation doesn't seem right."
"The attack of those golden flames... or rather, the entire current of the Heat Wave move, isn't attacking Volcarona."
At that moment, Rachel suddenly spoke, and her expression became serious.
Looking toward the field, it could be seen that after the two attacks intertwined, the two air currents tangled with each other and began to struggle. Immediately after, they transformed into an ascending current that rose toward the sky.
The golden flames burned and, driven by the air current, became a pillar of fire that rose into the sky.
In the next instant, the air current could be seen suddenly spinning. It actually changed direction directly and rushed toward Charizard!
Evidently, although Volcarona was slightly below in the clash of flames, in terms of controlling air currents, Volcarona occupied an absolute advantage.
Comparing both things, in this move, Charizard had indeed lost by a margin.
Seeing this, Charizard let out a cold snort.
It launched another golden blaze with the move Flamethrower and directly scattered the Heat Wave move that was rushing toward it.
"It really is very strong."
"Charizard, use Sunny Day."
Observing the battle on the field, Ethan gave another order.
And seeing Charizard use the move Sunny Day, Brandon did not try to stop it at all.
Not long after, Charizard could be seen condensing a fireball, which transformed into a sun suspended high in the sky.
Immediately, the Fire-type energy on the field became more active, and even the golden flame on Charizard's tail burned more intensely.
