Chapter 840: A Real Sword Fight

Calyrex still created a Light Screen of equal strength to the Reflect wall as before, its gaze fixed on the incoming Psychic from Metagross, wanting to see if its intuition was accurate.

It saw the sphere composed of Psychic collide with the Light Screen in the next second, and a strange power began to exert itself; the Light Screen actually had signs of collapsing under the attack of the Psychic.

Calyrex's eyes narrowed slightly, keenly perceiving that it wasn't that Metagross's Psychic was strong enough to destroy the Light Screen, but that the sphere contained a strange energy, an energy with extremely strong erosive and destructive power.

It seems... another Pokémon associated with a certain Legendary it doesn't know.

Calyrex became more and more curious about Su Hao's identity in the future.

*Crack...! *

A crisp breaking sound rang out, and the translucent Light Screen was covered in cracks, as if it would shatter if just a little more force were added.

But under Metagross's unwilling gaze, the Psychic it had outputted with all its might was ultimately lacking in follow-up power, just a little short of breaking the Light Screen set by Calyrex.

Calyrex showed a look of surprise and removed the Light Screen, its body floating to Su Hao and Metagross's side under the support of its psychic power, praising: "A special power with full potential. As long as Metagross is allowed to develop it step by step, it is not impossible to obtain power comparable to a Legendary in the future."

Su Hao and Metagross accepted Calyrex's praise with calm faces; after all, the destructive gene came from that Mewtwo, which could become a Level 1 god just by its combat power.

The potential, naturally, was infinite.

Calyrex chuckled and said slowly: "However... regarding the application of Metagross's mental power, I have a few suggestions. As fellow Psychic-type Pokémon, you can have your Hisuian Braviary come and listen as well."

On the fifth day of Calyrex's cost-no-object Abundant Harvest power baptism, Milotic became the first Pokémon after Incineroar to break through to the late Professional level.

At the same time, taking advantage of the breakthrough momentum, Milotic drew another 5% of power from the firmly sealed Infinite Source in one go.

Don't underestimate this 5% of power. As Latios said, the essence of its strengthening is Milotic's own "Special Attack base stat."

Just like that Haxorus with immense strength at the University Cup, Milotic, which had unsealed 10% of the Infinite Source, had already obtained an evaluation equal to its extraordinary power.

The higher it goes, the more terrifying it will become, until it touches the Legendary level; it can be said to be simple, unadorned, and powerful.

On a huge ice lake outside the Ice King City, a sparring match began.

The two sides were... the currently popular "hot-shot tiger" who considered itself the hottest, Incineroar.

And Milotic, who had reflected on its mistakes after consecutive defeats, whose level had returned to the first echelon, and whose strength was still an unknown to Incineroar, who was training separately.

Incineroar narrowed its eyes and looked at Milotic, which was quietly coiled on the ice. It didn't expect that it would find itself unable to see through Milotic now.

Su Hao held the Water Plate fragment, seeing that the gray color on it had become somewhat bright, and muttered in his heart: "This is... what stage has it reached?"

During the special training, besides the two fixed Abundant Harvest power baptisms every day, several Pokémon had each sought out suitable places and conducted special training according to the guidelines specified by Su Hao.

Today, Milotic suddenly returned to the ruins on the Crown Shrine and requested a one-on-one real sword fight with Incineroar.

Su Hao could see that losing to Incineroar made Milotic, which had always been a step ahead of it, somewhat unable to accept it.

Even if Xiao Mei's personality wasn't the generally arrogant personality of the Milotic species, the fact that it couldn't beat Incineroar and Dragapult still made it very unwilling.

Su Hao had also seen its hard training over the past period. Now that Milotic was inviting Incineroar to battle with full confidence, it must have comprehended something.

Just breaking through to the late Professional level and unsealing another 5% of the Infinite Source wasn't enough to pose a threat to Incineroar, which now possessed dual enhancement capabilities of Perpetual Strengthening and Electric Current

Propulsion, as well as explosive-trait flames.

Facing Milotic, Incineroar revealed a human-like mocking expression on its rugged tiger face.

Don't misunderstand, this wasn't Incineroar having any dissatisfaction with Milotic; it simply wore this face for everyone... except for Diancie and Su Hao.

After all, one is easy to get beaten by, and the other provides food.

Milotic wasn't mocked by Incineroar; its expression remained as "calm and tranquil" as the ice surface beneath it, without a single ripple.

At this moment, confirming that the two Pokémon were ready, Su Hao's voice appeared at the right time: "Real sword fight... start!"

Incineroar chose to activate the Intimidate ability at the start to lower Milotic's physical strength. Subsequently, electricity flickered on its body, high-temperature steam rose, and Perpetual Bulk Up and Electric Current Propulsion were activated simultaneously. At this moment, the momentum it emitted was infinitely close to the Gym level.

Milotic also calmly activated Perpetual Dragon Dance, and its speed and physical attack were greatly improved.

Immediately after, Incineroar stepped on the hard, thick ice surface, causing it to crack. Milotic's eyes just blurred, and Incineroar was already before it.

Incineroar roared, lightning exploded on its fan-sized tiger palm, and it mercilessly brought it down on Milotic's beautiful and noble snake body with Thunder Punch.

Milotic calmly formed a Water Ring containing life energy around its body, and then its dragon tail, resembling a long whip, exploded. Although it couldn't fight Incineroar to a draw or even knock it back, a slight obstruction was enough.

The next instant, the mental power in Milotic's mind began to become active, Perpetual Calm Mind seamlessly connected to Dragon Dance, and then a Blizzard carrying bone-chilling cold swept out!

Blizzard couldn't pose a threat to Incineroar, which was wrapped in lightning and fire, but forcing it back was enough.

Why could Milotic use Calm Mind?

This was a status move Su Hao had specifically spent system currency to add to Milotic, considering the path it would take in the future.

After all, Milotic couldn't learn status moves that could strengthen Special Attack.

It saw Milotic force Incineroar back a few steps, and a faint blue light lit up in its beautiful eyes. The next moment, the ice surface began to shake, as if a roaring giant beast was rolling and galloping under the water.

Incineroar keenly perceived that something was wrong. The Milotic before it suddenly became very strange... as if, possessing some kind of divine charm!
