Chapter 442: Damned You, Group Beatdown

"Fight you, sis!" Huo La was thoroughly enraged; now his mind was solely on stopping Gilbert, he had no intention of a one‑on‑one duel with Liu Bo, and barked, "Ivysaur, Falling Petals!"

As soon as the words fell, countless emerald leaves suddenly swirled across the sky like an impenetrable barrier, instantly shielding the incoming freezing beam; the cold was blocked layer by layer by the leaves, failing to harm Huo La in the slightest.

In that instant, Huo La abruptly pulled out a Pokeball, clenched it and hurled it forcefully, his tone raging and resolute: "No more talk with him, all out!"

Blazing beams of light erupted in succession, illuminating the entire roof; as the light faded, Pokémon appeared one after another.

Beedrill buzzed its wings, Scizor's blades glinted, Crobat circled in flight, Nidoqueen's massive body loomed, Muk's slime dripped, Kingler's claws clenched, KenTaiLuo let out a high‑pitched roar, Aerodactyl spread its wings and rose, its wings emitting strange energy that swirled around it; all of them lined up before Huo La, their presence overwhelming.

"You?!" Liu Bo stared at the scene before him, his complexion changing instantly, his eyes filled with shock, then quickly overtaken by intense anger, his voice trembling.

He was angry because Huo La refused to abide by the one‑on‑one duel rule.

After all, the current situation was chaotic, no longer a fair duel; calling it a war would not be an exaggeration.

But he never imagined that Huo La would dare release so many Pokémon, far exceeding the six‑Pokémon limit!

Although the world today is no longer the era when the League's order reigned and strict rules bind everyone, the leaders of the various factions still share an unspoken understanding and have never broken the rule of "carrying at most six Pokémon at a time."

Thus the Pokémon storage system continued to operate normally.

Yet the Huo La before him released ten Pokémon, completely shattering his worldview!

Articuno also sensed the overwhelming aura opposite, instinctively tensing its body, its surrounding chill growing denser, vigilantly staring at the Pokémon before it, its expression hyper‑alert.

"Attack!" Huo La, no longer wasting time, barked.

These Pokémon were comrades who fought beside him and shared deep bonds, needing no elaborate commands, instantly understanding his will.

Skills erupted simultaneously—Poison Needle, blades, ultrasonic wave, Poison Liquid Impact, Metal Claw…—raining down densely toward Articuno and Liu Bo, giving them no respite.

Liu Bo's expression grew gravely serious, with no time for further anger or shock, he instinctively pulled out three Pokeballs and hurled them forcefully: "Sealeo, Delibird, Mamoswine, together with Articuno, block them!"

Three flashes of light passed, Sealeo, Delibird, and Mamoswine emerged in response, immediately standing beside Articuno; the four Ice‑type Pokémon simultaneously emitted piercing cold, their Ice‑type attacks rushing forward, attempting to fend off the onslaught of ten Pokémon.

But the numerical disparity was hard to overcome; even though they were all formidable Pokémon, they were gradually suppressed, barely holding on.

"You take your time, I'm leaving first!" Huo La glanced at the embattled Liu Bo, a cold sneer curling his lips, not lingering, he pulled out another Pokeball and hurled it forcefully.

A dazzling silvery light shot upward, bearing the heavy pressure of Time and Space; Groudon's massive, imposing silhouette slowly materialized, raising its head and emitting a roar that shook the heavens, causing the entire roof to quake violently.

When Liu Bo caught sight of Groudon, his pupils contracted again, the color draining from his face, leaving only utter shock—another legendary Divine Beast!

He never could have imagined that Huo La still had such a trump card!

Amid Liu Bo's stunned, dazed gaze, Huo La reached into his backpack and produced a Great Diamond Ore that radiated dazzling light, gripping it in his hand.

The ore's brilliance surged; the moment it touched Groudon's body, Groudon's form gradually transformed, instantly shifting into Origin Forme, its body enveloped by Spacetime Energy, its aura even more formidable.

Huo La leapt, landing steadily on Groudon's back, and in a deep voice said, "Groudon, full speed ahead, catch up with Gilbert!"

Groudon let out a low roar, flapped its wings and rose, carrying Huo La toward the sea‑bound Lugia, and in an instant vanished into the horizon.

Liu Bo could only stand frozen where he was, staring intently at Huo La's receding silhouette, his face full of resentment and helplessness, unable to do anything.

In front of him, ten Pokémon remained tightly encircling, the four Ice‑type Pokémon already overwhelmed, lacking any extra strength to pursue, forced to watch helplessly as Huo La escaped toward Lugia.

The chase battle on the sea grew ever more intense.

"Damned Kamen!" Gilbert, perched on Zapdos's back, clumsily evaded the Shadow Balls repeatedly launched by Kyogre, while watching his distance from Lugia widen, his tone full of impatience and fury.

Bilan, perched on Kyogre's back, also wore a tense expression, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead, his hands gripping Kyogre's wings tightly, continuously issuing orders: "Kyogre, speed up! Throw another Shadow Ball, aim at Zapdos's wing!"

"Damn! Damn!" Gilbert, thoroughly enraged, cursed twice more, a flash of madness flickering in his eyes; then clenching his teeth, he abruptly pulled out a Pokeball and hurled it forcefully, his hoarse, resolute voice saying, "Moltres, use Brave Bird, block them! No matter the cost, you must stop them!"

Anger already filled his mind; at this moment he didn't care whether Moltres would be injured or even perish in the collision with Kyogre.

His sole thought was to close in on Lugia as quickly as possible and capture the legendary sea god.

Moltres answered the call, emitting a resentful screech; it clearly sensed the danger of the strike yet still dared not defy the order, flames blazing around it, it launched a fierce Brave Bird, like a burning fireball, crashing headlong into Kyogre.

Bilan sensed the danger, tried to command Kyogre to evade, but it was already too late.

Moltres, with earth‑shattering impact, slammed into Kyogre's body; Bilan couldn't react in time, was hurled by the massive force, plummeting straight into the raging sea below.

Kyogre and Moltres simultaneously let out a mournful screech, both staggered by the collision's impact, their surrounding energy instantly destabilized.

Gilbert seized the fleeting opportunity, a spark of wild joy flashing in his eyes, immediately commandeering Zapdos, sprinting at full speed toward the nearby Lugia.

His grip on the Master Ball was already tight, his fingertips subtly flexed, ready to throw at any moment, his eyes filled with a fervor determined to succeed.
