Chapter 1329

The Terastal energy shrouding the mountaintop seemed to be sucked away by some existence like a bottomless pit; the air on the summit was instantly refreshed, the white mist dissipated, and the figure standing beside the pool that had lost its luster was completely exposed.

It was a fierce, bipedal, dragon-like Pokémon with a tall, robust build, exuding a terrifying aura as if it had come from the ancient past.

Most of its body was crimson, with white and blue accents in certain areas; long, slender antennae like dragon whiskers grew from its head, and the feathers standing tall atop its head fluttered in the wind as bright sunlight spilled through the force field onto the summit.

Claws so sharp they seemed capable of tearing through anything, jaws and teeth that could easily rip through an opponent's defenses, and a thick, long tail that whipped about as fast as a lash.

At the very first glance, one thought would emerge in anyone's mind—it was simply born for battle.

Su Hao naturally recognized this Pokémon, not to mention the system had popped up and plastered its panel right in his face.

Pokémon: 【Koraidon】

Type: 【Fighting + Dragon】

Gender: 【None】

Ability: 【Orichalcum Pulse】

Level: 【First-Class Legendary】

The legendary Pokémon Koraidon, revered in ancient times as the Winged King... why would it appear here!?

Su Hao felt his breathing grow somewhat rapid; in his arms was Ogerpon, who had been frightened by Koraidon's presence, and Reshiram, who had been idly watching the show in his mind, was already prepared to manifest at any moment.

After Koraidon let out a roar, the air fell into a deathly silence; even though the Terastal energy shrouding the summit had completely dissipated, Pecharunt, Okidogi, and the others dared not make a move under the intimidation of Koraidon's invisible aura.

Pecharunt, floating in mid-air, was covered in cold sweat, while Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti were even worse off, already retreating with trembling legs.

Are you kidding me, what is the deal with that ferocious beast!?

Pecharunt and the others had no doubt that if they angered the other party, they would likely be torn to shreds by that guy.

At this very moment, the thought of retreating had already sprouted in Pecharunt's mind, but it couldn't guarantee whether the other party would let it run; sure enough, it still had to send a subordinate to hold it off...

Pecharunt's gaze fell upon the most robust of them, Okidogi, and it hurriedly urged: "Pecha-pecha!"

Okidogi's body stiffened, and it looked at Pecharunt in disbelief, but its body moved involuntarily; Okidogi had almost forgotten that even though they had a high degree of freedom, they were still under Pecharunt's control.

Just like during the previous battle with Cyclizar, Okidogi's muscles swelled instantly, and it bypassed Su Hao and the others, charging straight at the strange Koraidon.

Koraidon's golden dragon eyes landed on Okidogi, as if curious whether this guy really dared to provoke it.

Taking advantage of Okidogi drawing the attention of Koraidon and Su Hao's group, Pecharunt didn't even want to control those withered bones anymore; it hurriedly sat on Fezandipiti and ran off, taking Munkidori with it.

As for what would happen to Okidogi after it went to fight Koraidon, it couldn't care less.

It was only a split second before Pecharunt and the others slipped away; the skeletons that lost its control fell to the ground, unable to even maintain a humanoid shape.

Ogerpon was deeply worried, but it dared not act rashly, simply because that Pokémon was still behind them.

At this moment, Okidogi also swung its arms, which could easily catch Cyclizar's attacks, and launched a charge toward Koraidon.

Koraidon narrowed its eyes; it shifted its body to the side, and its thick, long tail broke through the air like a long whip. Su Hao only heard a sonic boom that vibrated his eardrums, and Okidogi was swatted by Koraidon's tail from the summit down to the foot of the mountain.

Immediately following, a violent collision sound came from the foot of the mountain, and the entire mountain trembled for a moment.

However, this was merely Koraidon casually flicking its tail without using any energy at all.

Beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, and Su Hao swallowed hard.

If his sensing was correct, Okidogi's Aura had already vanished.

It wasn't that Okidogi had gone out of his Aura detection range, but the moment it was struck by Koraidon's tail, Okidogi was directly...

Holy crap, this Koraidon is a god of slaughter!

Far

away, the fleeing Pecharunt suddenly sensed that the reaction of the toxic chain it used to control Okidogi had disappeared.

Pecharunt was confident that Okidogi couldn't possibly remove its toxic chain, so there was only one answer...

A flash of lingering fear crossed the eyes of Pecharunt, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti; it was fortunate they ran fast, that thing was too ferocious!

"Oger...?"

Ogerpon was shielded behind Su Hao, feeling both confused and somewhat fearful of the Pokémon Su Hao called Koraidon.

Ogerpon's small hand holding the Wellspring Mask trembled slightly, and it secretly made a resolution in its heart: if that Koraidon were to attack Su Hao, even if it were afraid, Ogerpon would put on the mask and block the opponent.

After Su Hao had Ogerpon hide behind him, he used his Aura to tell Metagross and Cyclizar to retreat quickly.

He had no way of knowing whether this Koraidon that had suddenly popped up was friend or foe, but given its brutal style of directly obliterating Okidogi, he couldn't afford not to be on guard.

He didn't have a hobby of letting his Pokémon go to their deaths; to deal with a First-Class Legendary, one had to use a First-Class Legendary!

Just as Su Hao intended to summon Reshiram, the obediently retreating Metagross and the Cyclizar walking toward Koraidon with a complex expression formed a sharp contrast.

"Cyclizar, what are you doing?!"

Su Hao exclaimed, his Aura surging out, immediately intending to stop Cyclizar.

But this time, the Aura that Cyclizar had never opened up was exposed to Su Hao.

Su Hao's footsteps paused, his pupils shrinking sharply.

Why was the Aura frequency of Cyclizar and that Koraidon over there... exactly the same?

The massive amount of information caused Su Hao's brain to crash instantly; he knew very well how low the probability was for two individuals to have the same Aura frequency. The Aura of Koraidon and Cyclizar was less like the miracle between Su Hao and Lucario, and more likely... they were the same individual.

Whether it was because it found this scene interesting, Koraidon just opened its dragon eyes and watched quietly as Cyclizar walked toward it.

The guy who had dared to provoke the Winged King just now had already endured its fury; what would this guy, who inexplicably made it feel a bit familiar, do?

Koraidon, having piqued its interest, locked eyes with Cyclizar's suddenly changed, bright golden irises that were almost identical to its own.

Koraidon was startled.

And Cyclizar also confirmed the fact once again; sure enough, it wasn't its imagination that it had felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Su Hao when it first met him.

It remembered that in the memories of its past self, there was once a time it had inexplicably arrived at a strange mountaintop out of thin air.

That segment of memory represented the present.
