Chapter 383: Crash It for Me
The command just fell, and Palkia immediately sprang into action.
Under the Origin Form Blessing, it had Spatial Power and true Qi energy interweaving around its body, with pale‑purple true‑Qi projectiles continuously coalescing in front of it, each exuding immense power.
Since it already has a type advantage over Registeel, and with the Origin Forme amplification, the power of these true‑Qi projectiles is doubled.
"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—" several true‑Qi projectiles burst through the air in succession, carrying a sharp whistling sound, striking Registeel's massive body with pinpoint accuracy.
Each impact was accompanied by a violent explosion, sending clouds of snow dust skyward in an instant, a white expanse completely enveloping Registeel's silhouette; the shrill boom echoed at the Snow Peak Temple Entrance, shaking the ground with a faint tingling.
The snow dust gradually dispersed with the wind, and Registeel's form reappeared—its massive body collapsed heavily onto the snow, the once orderly black stripes shattered into multiple cracks, the red spots on its face dulled, its eyes tightly shut, having lost all combat ability, sinking into a deep coma, its aura completely dissipated.
Huo La's tense shoulders suddenly relaxed, a sigh of relief hidden in his mind, the pressure at his fingertips eased gradually, and he thought to himself: as expected, my tactical judgment was sound.
In fact, after returning to camp last night, he had repeatedly pondered battle strategies.
Regigigas did not specify how many Pokemon it could use, but he knew that on his side, only Palkia, Dialga, and Deoxys could contend with the five Legendary Giants.
Although his Pokemon had a level advantage, the opponent still fielded five, and the numerical gap made a head‑on clash far from optimal.
Fortunately, he had already gauged Regirock's strength and type, so he decided to launch a type‑suppression burst battle, aiming to instantly knock out one at a time, thereby reducing the opponent's numerical advantage and easing pressure on his subsequent fights.
And the current situation unfolded as smoothly as Huo La had anticipated.
In its Origin Forme, Palkia's burst power was maxed out; the rapid‑fire true‑Qi projectiles left Registeel no chance to react, instantly slaying it and perfectly firing the battle's first shot.
Nearby, Xiao Zhao witnessed the scene and couldn't help but let out a light cheer, his eyes full of joy;
Deep within the Temple, the gem on Regigigas's chest flickered more intensely, seemingly surprised by the sudden instant kill.
Just as Huo La was pondering which of the remaining four Legendary Giants would emerge, Regigigas's voice suddenly rang out from nowhere, hoarse and majestic yet clearly reaching everyone's ears: "Take out your Pokeball and Capture it."
Huo La was momentarily stunned, his face full of astonishment; he had never expected Regigigas to voluntarily let him Capture its own offspring.
Instinctively, he turned his head, his gaze landing on the nearby Xiao Zhao, Shan Kui, and Bin Lian, seeing the same shock and puzzlement written on their faces, clearly not having anticipated such a turn.
Huo La steadied himself, then looked at the fallen, powerless Registeel, hesitated briefly, and finally pulled a Heavy Ball from his pack, gently tossing it toward Registeel.
The Heavy Ball landed beside Registeel, instantly emitting a soft glow that securely enveloped its body.
Surprisingly, its four brothers standing nearby simply stood still, offering no resistance, watching Registeel being drawn by the light, slowly merging into the Heavy Ball.
With a light "clack," the Heavy Ball settled steadily on the snow, no longer moving, clearly indicating Registeel had been successfully captured.
Seeing Registeel captured by Huo La, Regice slowly stepped forward from the ranks.
Its body exuded a chilling aura, its white form standing out against the pristine snow; the moment it entered the battlefield, it hesitated not at all, immediately activating its Ice Energy, and the surrounding cold surged instantly.
On the already biting Snow Peak, a ferocious Blizzard suddenly erupted, wind and snow howling and sweeping the entire arena; in an instant, the blizzard blanketed the sky, seeming to swallow everything, even the sunlight was blocked by the heavy snow curtain, leaving only a white, chaotic void.
Within the Blizzard, countless sharp ice shards were hurled by the gale, raining down on Palkia like dense droplets, each shard bearing a piercing chill and a fierce force.
Ice type already counters Palkia, and with the Blizzard's boost, the ice shards struck Palkia, instantly carving tiny wounds; the pain made it emit mournful cries, and its Spatial Power became chaotic.
Huo La stood his ground, eyes fixed on Palkia, his expression growing increasingly grave; clenching his fingertips, he gritted his teeth and barked harshly: "Palkia, maximize your energy, Great 'Da' Flame Burst! Crash into it for me!"
Palkia heard the command, a flash of resentment and pain crossing its eyes.
But bound by the Capture Contract, it could not defy Huo La's order; it slowly closed its eyes, and flames erupted around it, the scorching fire enveloping its entire body, gradually coalescing into a massive "Da" character; the intense heat instantly dispelled the surrounding chill, forming a stark contrast to the swirling Blizzard.
The next second, Palkia opened its eyes, a flash of resolve crossing them, gathering its remaining strength, bearing burning flames, and charging toward Regice like a red meteor.
Regice's massive frame, already sluggish, was further stunned by the sudden flame, leaving no time to evade, and it was solidly rammed head‑on by the blazing Palkia.
"Boom—" the violent impact rang out, fire and ice clashing instantly, producing a sizzle, a massive plume of steam rose, forming a thick Smokescreen that completely shrouded the two Pokemon.
The Blizzard gradually subsided, and the Smokescreen slowly dissipated with the cold wind, revealing the battlefield.
Regice's massive body collapsed heavily onto the snow, its Ice Armor melted by the flames, blackened scorch marks appearing across its form, its eyes tightly shut, having lost all combat ability.
And Palkia fared no better; its flames gradually waned, its body swaying, wings drooping helplessly, its breath reduced to a faint whisper, clearly on the brink of losing combat capability, lacking even the energy to sustain its Origin Forme, and it slowly reverted to its normal form.
