Chapter 196

She had been staying inside the Poké Ball for so long that she was already feeling bored and restless.

Watching Su Yu's other Pokémon take the field one by one.

Articuno had long wanted to go up and fight a battle herself.

So now that it was finally her turn to appear, she naturally felt extremely happy in her heart!

"Artic!"

In her excitement, Articuno instantly unleashed the energy within her body.

An ice-blue dazzling light directly shone across the entire arena.

In an instant, the temperature at the competition venue dropped sharply.

It was currently springtime.

Many of the spectators had already put on relatively thin clothing.

However, under Articuno's influence, many spectators began to feel cold.

Nevertheless, not a single person chose to leave to change clothes.

Because all of this was worth it!

It was so rare to have the chance to see a Legendary Pokémon with one's own eyes! How could anyone choose to leave!?

In the arena, as Articuno unleashed the cold energy of her body.

The water surface on the water section of the competition field also slowly began to freeze into solid ice.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

The solid ice covered the entire water surface bit by bit.

Forming an ice layer with a thickness of about ten centimeters.

Wang Wang Shizhong faced Articuno directly.

At this moment, he could feel the chill in the air even more intensely.

Even though he was tall and usually quite resistant to the cold, he couldn't help but shiver slightly.

"Alright, stop playing around, get ready to fight."

Su Yu looked at Articuno in the air and said with some helplessness.

He knew Articuno was very happy, but she still needed to focus on the match.

"Artic!"

Articuno nodded, then flew back in front of Su Yu.

Thus, Su Yu's Articuno and Wang Wang Shizhong's Mega Metagross began their standoff!

However, no one believed that Wang Wang Shizhong's Mega Metagross could achieve victory.

Because it was facing a god!

"Articuno, Hail!"

Su Yu issued the command first.

Articuno let out a soft cry, and an ice-blue beam flew from her body toward the sky.

In an instant, the entire sky immediately turned dark!

This change was different from the field-control skills used during previous Pokémon battles.

Because Articuno's Hail seemed to have affected the climate of the Fengchao Gymnasium!

Above the Fengchao Gymnasium, dark clouds instantly enveloped the area.

Subsequently, ice pellets fell from the sky one by one.

However, these hailstones only struck within the competition field.

This was, of course, the result of Su Yu having Articuno control the attack.

Otherwise, I'm afraid the entire audience of the Fengchao Gymnasium would have been pelted by the hail!

On the high platform, the group of principals saw this scene and began discussing it among themselves.

"Is this the power of a Legendary Pokémon? Influencing the entire weather so easily!"

"That's right, even if I sent out my ace Pokémon, I couldn't achieve such an effect. This must be the might of a Legendary Pokémon!"

"Articuno truly lives up to her name! Even before a Legendary Pokémon has fully grown, they possess an aura that ordinary people can hardly match!"

They were naturally very familiar with field-control skills.

But the more familiar they were, the more they realized just how terrifying Articuno's controlling power was!

Even if a Celestial-level Pokémon came, they wouldn't be able to accomplish such a feat.

Yet merely a Quasi-Celestial-level Articuno had accomplished it with ease!

Seeing this scene, Wang Wang Shizhong wanted to do something, but he didn't know what to do.

Articuno had used Hail to change the weather.

But he was completely helpless against it!

Because he knew clearly that having Mega Metagross try to snatch the weather from Articuno was absolutely unrealistic!

The hail falling from the sky struck Mega Metagross's body, emitting loud thudding sounds.

Although Mega Metagross was hit by the hail, the damage received wasn't too severe.

However, Wang Wang Shizhong knew clearly that he could only go all out!

Otherwise, if this dragged on, he wouldn't have even a sliver of a chance left!

So what if it's a Legendary Pokémon? Even if it is a Legendary Pokémon, he must go all out!

"Mega Metagross, move at high speed and use Metal Claw!"

Wang Wang Shizhong immediately issued the command.

Upon hearing this, Mega Metagross instantly vanished from its spot.

Although his body was extremely heavy, his speed was not slow in the least.

With the aid of his psychic powers, in merely an instant, he arrived beside Articuno!

Immediately, the four-armed Mega Metagross brandished the sharp claws in his hands.

Metallic energy surfaced on his four sturdy arms as he slashed toward Articuno.

"Articuno, use Reflect!"

Su Yu calmly issued the command.

"Caw!"

Articuno sensed the Mega Metagross beside her.

Instantly, a transparent wall of light appeared before her.

The wall of light stood between Articuno and her opponent.

【Reflect: Reduces damage taken from physical attacks by the opponent.】

For ordinary Pokémon.

Reflect could only weaken attacks from opposing Pokémon.

But for Articuno, this legendary beast!

Her Reflect could completely block the opponent's moves.

Mega Metagross's four giant claws slammed into the Reflect wall.

"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Mega Metagross launched a total of four strikes.

As these four Metal Claws fell, the Reflect wall shattered with a crisp sound!

However, Articuno standing behind the broken wall remained completely unharmed.

"Articuno, use Powder Snow!"

Articuno gazed at the Mega Metagross before her.

Immediately, she exhaled a patch of white, misty snowflakes from her mouth.

Yet, a move that should have been merely tiny, fine snowflakes.

Under Articuno's empowerment, instantly transformed into a massive blizzard!

The Powder Snow surged forward, sweeping toward Mega Metagross.

145: Defeating the Super Mega Metagross! The Invincible Articuno!

Seeing this fine snow attack resembling a blizzard, Wang Wang Shizhong immediately ordered an evasion.

"Super Mega Metagross, use Agility to dodge!"

In an instant, the Super Mega Metagross fled its original position.

If it stayed there any longer, it would likely be frozen solid by Articuno directly.

After the Super Mega Metagross moved away at high speed, the fine snow struck nothing but empty air.

However, Su Yu paid it no mind.

With an attack like this, dodging or not made no difference.

"Metagross, use Meteor Mash!"

At this moment, when the Super Mega Metagross reappeared, it was already behind Articuno.

Its fists were covered in starlight-like luminescence.

Tiny meteors streaked past around its fists.

The Super Mega Metagross punched forward at the Articuno before it!

"Behind you, use Ice Beam!"

Upon hearing the command, Articuno swiftly turned its body around.

Simultaneously, ice-blue rays began accumulating in its beak.

The moment it turned its head, it spat out the ice-blue Ice Beam directly.

At this moment, the Super Mega Metagross's fist was still a short distance away from it.

Yet Articuno was already spraying its attack toward the incoming fist.

"Hiss!"

Articuno's Ice Beam struck the Super Mega Metagross's fist directly.

The Super Mega Metagross's Meteor Mash, originally shimmering with starlight,

was completely encased in ice in that instant.

Furthermore, the ice climbed up its entire body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, Articuno had struck the Super Mega Metagross's fist with its Ice Beam,

instantly freezing the Super Mega Metagross solid!

At this moment, the Super Mega Metagross had become an ice sculpture gleaming with a metallic luster.

Lacking the support of its psychic powers, the Super Mega Metagross instantly plummeted from the sky.

"Bang!"

The ice block fell from the heavens and smashed onto the icy surface, blasting a large crater into it.

After the Super Mega Metagross fell into the water, it slowly resurfaced a few seconds later.

At this moment, its entire body was soaked with water.

White cold air emanated from everywhere on its metallic body!

It looked exactly as if it had been salvaged from a snow mountain.

Just a single Ice Beam

had inflicted such tremendous damage upon the Super Mega Metagross!

Seeing this scene, Wang Wang Shizhong's heart sank.

He knew that Articuno had held back just now!

Otherwise, after the Ice Beam hit the Super Mega Metagross,

it could have immediately followed up with other moves to render the Super Mega Metagross completely unable to fight.

Thinking of this, Wang Wang Shizhong clenched his fists tightly.

This was the first time he had ever felt so powerless against an opponent!

"Super Mega Metagross, use Bullet Punch!"

The Super Mega Metagross's four arms glowed red, then it rushed rapidly toward Articuno!

Bullet Punch benefited from a speed boost; although its power was low, its velocity was extremely fast.

Therefore, Wang Wang Shizhong wanted to land a hit on Articuno first, then continue using other moves afterward.

"Articuno, use Icicle Spear!"

Facing the charging Super Mega Metagross, Su Yu immediately gave the order.

"Super Mega Metagross, shatter her Icicle Spear!"

Wang Wang Shizhong also shouted instantly.

The Icicle Spear move merely fired off several ice pillars.

Its power was not great, so Wang Wang Shizhong decided to have the Super Mega Metagross smash them and charge through.

Flying in the air, Articuno swept its ice-blue wings from left to right.

In an instant, five gigantic ice pillars appeared before it!

Ordinary Icicle Spears were only about thirty or forty centimeters long.

However, what Wang Wang Shizhong did not expect was that the Icicle Spear released by Articuno

was actually two meters long!!

Moreover, the cold air emanating from them was even more fierce.

As soon as the five ice pillars appeared, they shot toward the Metagross.

The five ice pillars resembled five gigantic nails.

It emitted a breathtaking ice-blue radiance.

In the blink of an eye, the ice spike arrived before the Mega Metagross.

The Mega Metagross, obeying its Trainer's command, extended its arms and struck at the rushing ice spike.

"Bang!"

The first ice spike was directly knocked upward by the Mega Metagross.

However, what the Mega Metagross had not anticipated was this:

This ice spike was far harder than it had imagined!

Its arm strike landed on the ice spike.

It merely caused the ice spike to deviate from its course!

After changing direction, the ice spike shot toward the ground.

It smashed a massive crater into the battlefield.

"What!?"

Wang Wang Shizhong was utterly shocked.

Could it be that his own Mega Metagross couldn't even shatter a single ice spike!?

At that moment, the second ice spike followed close behind.

Refusing to believe it, the Mega Metagross struck it again.

This time, the result was exactly the same!

The ice spike remained completely unbroken.

It had only changed direction.

In other words, the Mega Metagross had no way to break through Articuno's attack!

He never expected that his Mega Metagross could not even handle a ordinary move from Articuno.

Reflecting on this, Wang Wang Shizhong finally understood why a Legendary Pokémon was called a Legendary Pokémon!

For the next three ice spikes, the Mega Metagross chose not to collide with them head-on.

Instead, it opted to dodge.

If struck by such ice spikes, even the Mega Metagross would not fare well!

Therefore, the Mega Metagross could only choose to avoid their sharp edge.

After consecutively dodging several moves,

the Mega Metagross closed in on Articuno and swung its powerful fists at her.

The fists on its four arms each flew like bullets.
