Chapter 1042

Su Hao began to feel fortunate that he had never met that Heavenly King from start to finish, nor had he come into conflict with her.

Such a famous person was too troublesome to deal with; it would be difficult to handle regardless of whether the other party's attitude was good or bad.

After entering the Greater Khingan mountain range, Su Hao, feeling confident again, chose to go settle the score first.

He was a person who held grudges. Even if he couldn't take revenge on the spot for various reasons, as long as there was an opportunity, he would retaliate without hesitation.

It was still that familiar wild forest, but it was completely unlike the embarrassment of being overwhelmed by the swarming Combee back then.

Vespiquen flew in the air with a heavy expression. Its body was covered in a thick layer of frost, while its numerous kin and children were currently all frozen by the terrifying cold current, scattered and fallen on the ground.

And the culprit who caused all this was that ice-blue divine bird, radiating

a terrifying aura and surrounded by ice-blue radiance.

Vespiquen knew very well that there was a world of difference between itself and that divine bird.

What shocked Vespiquen the most was the human beside the divine bird. Vespiquen had an impression of him; he and that pink Pokémon, which radiated a temperament even more noble than its own, had persisted for a full half-hour under its swarm's attack before escaping.

Now this was... coming back for revenge?

Comparing the gap in strength between itself and the divine bird in its heart, Vespiquen couldn't help but feel despair.

However, the human whispered a few words into the divine bird's ear, and the divine bird stopped acting, giving up its position to watch the battle from the side. At the same time, that pink Pokémon was released by the human.

Vespiquen's pupils shrank, feeling as if it had been underestimated.

Even if its kin had lost their ability to act, it was not something a Pokémon with an aura far weaker than its own could handle!

Vespiquen furiously flapped its wings, which were as thin as cicada wings, and countless sky-blue Air Cutters instantly filled the entire space.

Diancie's expression was calm, its body rapidly rising into the air under the lift of psychic power. At the same time, Dazzling Gleam under the effect of the power of brilliance erupted instantly like a solar flare, and the strong light with scorching temperature swept away the Air Cutters!

Vespiquen's pupils shrank, revealing a look of shock.

This pink Pokémon was simply too strange!

Clearly its level was far inferior to its own, yet its combat power was terrifyingly strong!

Vespiquen's expression was heavy; it no longer underestimated Diancie. A sharp, piercing insect-like buzzing sound that made one feel like their head was about to split erupted from Vespiquen's mouth.

For a moment, the earth was shaken by this high-frequency vibrating sonic wave, the ground cracked, and at the same time, Vespiquen took advantage of Diancie's momentary pause due to the buzzing to close in, and a sharp X-Scissor exploded on Diancie's body!

Even as weak as Bug-type Pokémon, after reaching a certain height, they would transform into something not much inferior to ordinary Pokémon, and Vespiquen was a good example.

The Combee could be said to be part of Vespiquen's overall combat power. With the Combee swept away by Articuno, this early Heavenly King-level Vespiquen seemed no longer so unreachable.

At least, Diancie possessed a powerful move that could secure victory.

Diancie endured the X-Scissor head-on, feeling the pain left by Vespiquen, but its state of mind was exceptionally clear.

This pain was proof that it was surpassing the self of the previous second, constantly improving.

Su Hao and Diancie said in unison: "Diamond... Storm!"

The crystalline and brilliant Diamond Storm erupted from Diancie's hands. Without the protection of the Combee, Vespiquen tasted the flavor brought by the exclusive move of a Mythical Pokémon!
