In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

Hearing this, Mei's little face also became serious as she looked at the huge Articuno in the sky.

Despite its gorgeous and dazzling appearance, Articuno appears terrifying to Mei "460" these days.

It felt like a huge mountain was pressing down on her heart!

"Scythe Helmet! Rock Blade!"

Mei shouted to Kabuto in a deep voice, "Articuno's type is Flying + Ice, and this type combination is four times weak to Rock!"

Kabuto's type is Rock/Water, and it is also resistant to Ice-type attacks. Based on type alone, Kabuto has an overwhelming advantage over Articuno.

However, in reality, Articuno has an aerial advantage. Although Articuno is not small, it is indeed very agile.

If the attack misses, even a strong elemental advantage is completely useless.

That's why Mei risked using Arrogant Pheasant to fight Articuno. It wasn't that Mei wanted to become a trainer with a type disadvantage, but rather because Kabuto, which can't fly, is actually not easy to deal with Articuno.

With its two scythes crossed, the Scythe-Helmet sprinted towards Articuno, its earth-colored energy flashing as countless sharp rock blades shot towards the bird.

"storm."

Bakura remained calm. If the Rock Blade, which deals four times the damage, could hit Articuno, then even if Kabuto's strength was inferior to Articuno's, it would be a victory.

But the damage will definitely be significant.

However, all of that is contingent on the scythe helmet hitting the target!

No matter how strong the attack, if it misses, it's all just air!

"Chirp~"

Articuno spreads its magnificent wings wide and flaps them forcefully, instantly creating terrifying wind pressure.

One of the ultimate moves of the Flying type: Hurricane!

Like a tangible blade of air, it swept down with the hurricane, meeting the sharp rock blade head-on.

The sharp rock blades clashed head-on with the storm, but after only a brief struggle, the rock blades were completely shattered by the storm, and the remaining wind pressure continued to rush towards the scythe helmet.

"So it really won't work?"

Seeing this, Mei frowned and her eyebrows furrowed deeply. Kabuto is resistant to Ice-type attacks, but Articuno also has the Flying-type.

Flying-type attacks are also extremely powerful!

Moreover, this Articuno is clearly developing in both special and physical attack directions.

"Scythe Helmet, dodge! Use Rock Slide!" Mei continued to command the Scythe Helmet.

The scythe-helmet quickly shifted its position, avoiding direct impact from the storm. Otherwise, being hit by the extremely high wind pressure would have been fatal for the scythe-helmet.

At the same time, a deep earthy light flashed in Kabuto's eyes, and ripples appeared in the air above Articuno.

Several huge rocks fell toward the Articuno.

"That trick won't work on Articuno, Mei."

Bakura glanced at the rock collapse and chuckled. Although the Rock-type Rock Collapse was powerful, with such a large rock hitting it, it was certainly no joke, but it was indeed easy to avoid.

The Articuno flapped its wings and retreated, easily avoiding the collapsing rocks.

But it was at this moment that the scythe-helmet raised its two scythes high, and a deep blue pure water sphere rose into the sky.

The next second, dark rain clouds rapidly gathered in the once clear sky.

Large raindrops began to fall without warning.

"Interesting. So the purpose was to pray for rain? Not a sandstorm, which means this scythe helmet has special properties..."

Bakura glanced up at the rain clouds, then turned his gaze to the scythe-armored figure, narrowing his eyes slightly.

The rockfall illusion was clearly a prelude to rainmaking, but in reality, sandstorms are more suitable for dealing with Articuno under normal circumstances.

Unless this scythe helmet's special feature is Free Movement!

"The ability to move freely in the rain increases speed, allowing the already highly agile Scythe Helmet to launch even faster attacks."

"Mei's battle strategy is indeed very clear."

In the audience, Yukinari Ohki looked at the scythe-armored helmet in the heavy rain and couldn't help but praise it.

"But it can't completely change the fact that Kabuto can't reach Articuno, and Grandpa, quickly put your clothes on."

Qinglu rolled her eyes and held up a coat to Daiki Yukinari with an annoyed expression.

Articuno, with its aerial advantage, can launch long-range attacks. So what if Kabuto has a speed boost?

Blue Green has absolutely no confidence in Kabuto. While its type advantage is indeed enormous, Articuno's flight advantage is even greater.

The scythe-helmeted rainmaking spell enveloped the entire Quartz Arena, but clearly no spectator was going to leave now...

Getting caught in the rain while watching a game, isn't that normal?

"Alright, alright, really, your grandpa is in good health."

Oki Yukinari accepted the coat with a smile; he was clearly very pleased with the care from his grandson.

……

"Scythe Helmet, use Surf!"

Her little face was covered in raindrops, but Mei had no time to care about that at the moment, and shouted heavily at the scythe-helmeted man.

Heavy rain not only allows Kabuto's unique characteristics to be fully utilized, but it also amplifies Kabuto's Water-type moves.

Scythe Helm raised its two scythes high, and a faint blue energy emanated from them. A huge wave rose from the ground, carrying Scythe Helm towards Articuno in the air.

“Playing in the water in front of Articuno isn’t a good sign,” Bakura said with a slight smile.

"Articuno, Freeze Ray!"

Articuno let out a loud cry, and icy blue energy condensed in front of its beak, sending a zigzagging beam of light directly at Surf.

The most powerful feature of the Freeze Ray is its terrifying freezing ability, which can be seen with the naked eye.

The surf of the scythe-helmeted creature, the spot hit by the freezing ray, began to freeze like lightning, and in no time...

The massive wave was completely frozen into a chilling ice sculpture!

"Water jet!"

The Kabuto leaped up the instant the Freeze Ray struck, its body enveloped in water, and hurtled towards Articuno at high speed.

Mei stared intently at Articuno, hoping that this attack would bring about the ideal situation.

Mei is perfectly willing to accept a Rock-type attack that hits Articuno at close range, even if it results in mutual destruction!

"Useless! Storm! 4.1"

Bakura's eyes flashed slightly, and he sprayed water, also known as the Water Jet, a move that frequently appears in the Sinnoh series.

What Bakura remembers most vividly is that his opponent used an ice-type move to freeze Water Jet, and then the frozen 'Ice Jet' slammed into his face with its momentum...

Articuno flapped its wings heavily, and terrifying wind pressure, accompanied by wind blades, swept towards Kabuto in its water-spraying state.

If Kabuto is hit in the face by a hurricane and has nowhere to get a foothold in the air, it's game over, because Articuno will definitely press its advantage!

"Water cannon!" Mei clearly understood this as well, her brows furrowed as she hurriedly shouted to the scythe-helmeted man.

The scythe-helmet moved extremely fast, and while spraying water, a water cannon directly met the oncoming storm.

A violent clash occurs between the storm and the water cannon in mid-air!

However, the range of the storm attack is obviously much larger than that of the water cannon, and the scythe helmet is a master of physical attacks, so its special attacks are not powerful at all!

The storm relentlessly suppressed the water cannons, while the powerful wind pressure also bypassed the water cannons and continued to assault the scythe helmet!

"Scythe Helmet, step back!"

Seeing this, Mei gritted her teeth in frustration and shouted at Kabuto, "Why didn't you use the Freeze Ray?!"

Mei was very frustrated, as Articuno's Ice-type move could easily freeze the water jet.

In this way, Mei could use the momentum of the water jet to bring Kabuto closer to Articuno.

However, this was unavoidable, as it was essentially a gamble. Mei was betting on Bakura's response to Kabuto's water jets.

Clearly, not only was the result unsatisfactory, but the scythe-armored helmet also fell into a disadvantageous position.

"Mei is in a lot of pain. In the air, the scythe helmet offers absolutely no leverage."

Alice leaned her arms against the railing and glanced at Mei. She could guess what Mei was thinking.

"There's nothing we can do about it. There's a difference in strength between Kabuto and Articuno. If Mei wants to attack Articuno, which can fly, she has to take risks."

Touko shook her head helplessly, saying that psychologically, they all hoped Mei could perform better.

I don't expect Mei to defeat Bakura, but at least...

As her best friend, I also hope that Mei can have a dignified exit.

……

And at this moment on the field.

The scythe-helmet changed the direction of its water cannon, firing it upwards from the front. The recoil of the water cannon successfully shifted the scythe-helmet's position, causing it to fall downwards and avoid the storm's direct attack.

"A very flexible sickle helmet; rainmaking is indeed a great tactic."

Watching the scythe-helmeted figure land nimbly, Bakura smiled and praised him.

The Swiftness ability, especially in rainy weather, provides an undeniable advantage for agile, burst-type Pokémon like Kabuto.

"But I still can't get close to Articuno."

Upon hearing this, Mei tidied her wet hair at her temples and frowned in distress.

Unable to get close to Articuno, it's almost impossible to hit Articuno with just the ranged skills of the Scythe Helm!

"Then let me lend you a hand."
