Chapter 1429

Bang bang—!

Picking a random piece of ice, Metagross tried tapping it with its right claw.

Feeling the signal from its right claw, Metagross reached a conclusion—

Hard as a rock.

Although it hadn't used its full strength or performed Mega Evolution, just by feeling it, it thought the hardness of this ice block was probably not inferior to the physical defense of Incineroar when it was at the Gym level.

This Grass-type Pokémon Leafeon actually cut this thing into fragments?!

If its own metal shell took such a hit, it would probably get a dent, too. Terrifying...

After ruffling Leafeon's fur, Su Hao lowered his gaze, and the Slate Spirit presented Leafeon's data before him.

Pokémon: 【Leafeon】

Type: 【Grass】

Tera Type: 【Grass】

Gender: 【Male】

Ability: 【Chlorophyll】 (When in Sunny Day or harsh sunlight weather, Speed is doubled)

Special Ability: 【Blessing of the God of Knowledge (Comprehension Doubled)】 (Tell a joke, 0 doubled is still 0, 500 doubled is 1000...)

Level: 【Late Gym Level】

Moves: 【Common: Leaf Blade (You call this thing a Leaf Blade?)】

Su Hao: "......"

(￢_￢) Ignore it.

"Did you just break through?"

"Wuu~"

Enjoying Su Hao's massage technique, Leafeon nodded gently. It hadn't expected that in order to make its attacks sharper to cut the ice block Articuno prepared, it would naturally break through when it cut the ice block with full force.

Su Hao wasn't surprised; he had long been used to Leafeon's habit of breaking through without a sound.

It seems Leafeon will be able to break through to the Elite level in a while. Counting Lucario and Metagross, who can unleash Elite-level combat power after Mega Evolution, the goal of having the whole team at the Elite level is almost achieved.

When he goes back in a while, he'll go and certify as an Elite-level trainer, then rush the ranking to first place in one go, and then prepare for the Elite Four.

After picking up Leafeon, considering that someone would likely try to contact the three legendary birds soon, Su Hao successively picked up the Pokémon scattered all over the three islands.

Lucario, who had been training its body and mind under the storm on Thunder Island with Cyclizar, reaching the late Gym level, also just one step away from the Elite level.

Zeraora, who had been training with the God of Thunder and, under Su Hao's arrangement, was developing the "Volt Absorb" ability, attempting to harness the lightning of nature for its own use.

Milotic, who had been training Ice-type moves with Articuno and had already integrated the ultimate chill into its own moves.

And Diancie, who was busy taking care of the kids, as well as Ogerpon, who had been playing with little Lugia for several days and had already become best friends.

After confirming no one was left behind, Su Hao boarded Articuno, took little Lugia, and flew toward the center where the three islands stood guard.

There, in addition to the seal of the three legendary birds' divine power holding Dark Lugia, there was the Hisuian Braviary, who was there alone, seemingly accompanying Dark Lugia, but actually talking to the Lugia sleeping inside Dark Lugia's body.

Compared to the seal constructed by the three legendary birds when they first neutralized Dark Lugia, the current seal was more perfect and powerful. The first layer was the Wall of Flame reinforced by Moltres, the strength of which even Zapdos would need some time to break through.

Not to mention the second layer, the Net of Lightning reinforced by Zapdos, and the third layer, the Orb of Ice Mirror used by Articuno to imprison Dark Lugia's main body, and the Fairy Light used internally to reflect off the ice mirror, endlessly purifying the negative energy within Dark Lugia's body.

Even now, Reshiram and the others were curious about what kind of coincidence could create Diancie, a natural enemy with extremely strong suppression power against the power of dark matter.

Strictly speaking, ordinary "Light" or "Fairy energy" didn't have particularly outstanding lethality against negative energy.

But when the two achieved an integration that should have been impossible, they gained a very strong targeting ability against dark matter.

It was almost as if Diancie was the Pokémon born specifically to deal with dark matter.

Passing through the two layers of seals, Su Hao saw the Hisuian Braviary lying on the bare

cliff, droning on and on, as well as the Orb of Ice Mirror floating in mid-air, and Dark Lugia inside, who inexplicably had a feeling of being better off dead.

When little Lugia saw Dark Lugia inside the Orb of Ice Mirror, its eyes lit up, and it remembered Lugia's instructions to it, so it could only stay pitifully under Articuno's wings.

Lugia was afraid that it would hurt little Lugia after it became corrupted, so it had once instructed it not to approach it.

Dark Lugia, which was enduring the burning of Fairy Light at every moment, naturally discovered the arrival of Su Hao and the others. It raised its eyes to look at Su Hao and Articuno, its complex gaze falling on little Lugia, and then quickly withdrew.

Dark Lugia's weak voice sounded.

【Hey, Hero of Truth, hurry up and take your Pokémon away. For the past few days, from morning to night, it's been chattering on and on about how that guy saved it. My ears are almost calloused from listening.】

Dark Lugia feared nothing; it could fight hard against the three legendary birds and Reshiram for a long time. If it weren't for Articuno and the others being well-prepared, Dark Lugia would have been very difficult to defeat easily.

Only the Hisuian Braviary's droning for these few days made it feel even more uncomfortable than when it was defeated.

It was already annoying enough that its foundation was constantly being purified. Now, Dark Lugia just wanted to send the Hisuian Braviary away as soon as possible. The situation was settled; it just wanted to wait quietly for its own demise.

Su Hao, who had already touched the Hisuian Braviary's feathers, exchanged a look with Articuno and didn't speak.

Articuno, feeling this was an opportunity, responded to it:

【I have a condition. If you agree, we will take it away.】

Dark Lugia sneered:

【Conditions? I'm already your prisoner; what else can I agree to for you?】

Articuno proposed its request without changing its expression:

【If I say, I want you to temporarily give up suppressing Lugia's consciousness and let it talk to us, can you do it?】

Dark Lugia didn't speak, and a silent atmosphere spread.

Reshiram's figure appeared beside Su Hao. Dark Lugia glanced at it, knowing that with it there, it couldn't play any tricks, and said indifferently:

【Fine, as long as you make that annoying black bird leave.】

Articuno looked at Reshiram, and Reshiram nodded slightly. It hadn't detected any signs of lying from Dark Lugia.

Articuno nodded slightly:

【I can agree to your request. Now, fulfill your promise.】

Dark Lugia stopped talking. Anyway, given that guy's level of weakness, it couldn't last long even if it did nothing, and the control of the body was still in its own hands.

Trading that for the departure of that annoying black bird—this deal wasn't a loss.
