In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

Bakura's lips curled up slightly as he raised his right hand, eager to finish off the scythe-armored monster as soon as possible.

"Articuno! Dive!"

"Chirp~"

With a loud cry, the Articuno flapped its wings and plummeted towards the ground, its magnificent tail feathers appearing even more hazy and beautiful against the backdrop of the rain.

"Should Onii-chan take the initiative?"

Seeing Articuno land on its own initiative, Lillie's eyes widened slightly, even though the initiative was now completely in Articuno's hands.

"Using the advantages of the Pokémon to wear down the opponent is indeed a common tactic of yours, young master, but that is only against opponents of equal strength."

"Although Kabuto is effective against Articuno, the threat it poses may not be that great in your opinion, young master."

With her signature sweet smile on her face, Bonfire slowly explained.

She has always been by Bakura's side and has witnessed all of Bakura's battles, big and small, this year. She knows far more about Bakura's fighting style than anyone else.

"They're here! The scythe-helmeted one!"

Seeing Articuno attack, Mei's expression tightened. Although she had been trying to get close to Articuno throughout the battle.

But as Articuno approached her, Mei felt an immense pressure!

Because, after all, that was the legendary God of Ice!

"Use the Rock Blade!"

The scythe-helmeted creature stared intently at Articuno, which was flying close to the ground, its two scythes crossed.

Rock blades of varying sizes materialized and shot towards Articuno like lightning.

"Freeze Ray." Bakura's smile deepened.

Articuno, flying at high speed, showed no sign of stopping. It slightly opened its beak, and icy blue energy condensed within it.

Click click~

A biting chill permeated the air, and amidst the torrential rain, winding beams of icy light shot out continuously.

The incoming rock blades were completely frozen, and at the same time, Articuno was already not far from Kabuto.

"It's not that simple!"

Seeing Articuno flying in with unstoppable momentum, Mei's breathing became heavy with tension. She gritted her teeth, waved her hand heavily, and shouted at Kabuto.

What's this all about?!

It's my side that has a four-fold advantage over you, right? Why should I back down?!

"Scythe Helmet! Surf!"

Kabuto raised its scythe high, the sound of rushing water filling the air, and a huge wave rose from the ground, carrying Kabuto towards Articuno.

Under a dark sky caused by rainmaking, the powerful surfing and the opposing Articuno made the audience almost hold their breath.

"Brave bird, attack!"

Bakura stared at the scythe-shaped helmet atop the surfboard; that was his target!

"Chirp~"

A high-pitched cry resounded through the sky, and red energy quickly enveloped the Articuno, transforming it into the shape of a valiant raptor.

Facing the oncoming giant wave, the brave bird did not flinch at all and plunged headfirst into the surf!

"Scythe Helmet!"

Mei's pupils contracted upon seeing this, completely unexpected that Articuno would go to such lengths.

The water for surfing is very clean, and red is an extremely bright color!

Everyone could see that, as it surfed, the red Brave Bird was rapidly hurtling towards the scythe-helmeted peak at the top of the surf!

The scythe-helmeted creature also noticed the danger rapidly approaching from the giant wave below, and a resolute glint flashed in its cold eyes.

Two sickles crossed, and ripples appeared in the air above.

At the same time, the scythe on the scythe helmet also shone with a dense white light, which was the ultimate cleaving move!

"Chirp~"

With a cry, Articuno bursts out of the water, and Brave Bird launches a fierce attack, crashing heavily into Kabutops!

Kabuto showed no weakness, slashing heavily at Articuno!

A head-on clash between a valiant bird's fierce attack and a cleaving blow!

But soon, the Brave Bird had already gained the upper hand over the Scythe Helmets, and the Scythe Helmets' two scythes were being pushed back continuously.

And it was at this moment that a huge boulder fell from the sky above them!

This scene shocked all the viewers!

This is a rockfall!

The sickle helmet is used before it's split open!

boom!

As Articuno and Brave Bird crashed heavily into Kabuto, Rock Slide also hit both Articuno and Kabuto simultaneously, knocking both of them off the field.

"Scythe Helmet..."

Mei pursed her lips tightly. This had nothing to do with her command; it was purely Kabuto's own decision.

In order to help her severely damage or even defeat Articuno, the mountain weighing on her heart, Kabuto chose the most extreme fighting style!

The heavy rain continued to fall, but no one cared at all; the battle was more exciting than they had imagined.

Although the process was short, the way the scythe-helmeted fighter was willing to die to take a piece of flesh from you was truly moving.

All eyes were fixed on the rubble on the battlefield, the rocks that had collapsed.

Both elves were now trapped under the pile of rubble.

pat~

The sound of a stone being pushed aside rang out, and an ice-blue divine bird came into everyone's view!

This is an Articuno!

The somewhat disheveled Articuno pushed aside the rocks on its body with its wings, slowly flapped its wings and took flight, its sharp eyes fixed on the now incapacitated Kabuto.

Although its body looks a bit disheveled, it's clear that Articuno's condition isn't too bad!

"Oh my god~ Articuno is flying!"

After his initial shock, the commentator in sunglasses excitedly roared into the microphone.

"It took flight! Even after being completely hit by a rockfall that was four times its normal strength, it still took flight!"

"The scythe-helmeted man's selfless efforts ultimately came to naught!"

The entire audience was deeply moved!

"What's this? You completely absorbed the rockfall attack, and this is all you get?"

Xiaoxia stared in disbelief at Articuno under the rain curtain, completely unable to accept that this was a rockfall four times more restrained than normal!

Furthermore, Articuno had absolutely no defense; Brave Bird's Attack had already struck Kabuto. Even though it still had some Brave Bird Energy left, it was clearly of little use in resisting Rock Slide damage.

But now it seems that not only has Articuno lost its ability to battle, it hasn't even been able to seriously injure Articuno!

"Or perhaps Mei's scythe helmet is very strong in physical attacks; this attack didn't have enough effect..."

Brock frowned. As the Gym Leader of the Rock-type, he knew the Rock type better than anyone else.

Rock Slide is one of the strongest Rock-type moves. Although its accuracy is low, its damage is extremely high.

It's ridiculous that Articuno can still fly after taking a full rockfall.

"Their legendary physique ensures that their physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary elves."

Qinglu also frowned. He was also surprised, even though he knew that the legendary physique was stronger than that of ordinary elves.

But no matter what, this is indeed too exaggerated.

"The legend of its physique is one aspect, but we may have entered a misconception. Although Articuno is known as the God of Ice, its greatest strength may not lie in its Ice-type attack capabilities."

"There's also the issue of training direction. Bakura, this Articuno, is clearly a well-rounded Pokémon with no weaknesses."

After a moment of contemplation, Oki Yukinari said with some regret, and the meaning behind his words was easy to understand.

Bakura's Articuno is a Pokémon with very high defense...

The scythe-helmet was really giving it his all, just to help Mei relieve the pressure of facing the legend. It's such a pity.

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxia was momentarily stunned and couldn't quite process it.

Articuno, hailed as the god of ice, is said to bring snow wherever it flies.

Such a legend, it's supposed to be about tanking rather than dealing damage?

Toxic, right?

……

"Mei, the scythe-helmet performed exceptionally well just now, but it's a real pity that it still couldn't defeat this guy."

Bakura glanced at Articuno, smiled at Mei, and praised her without reservation.

Given the difference in skill level, Mei's performance was commendable and worthy of praise.

Mei retrieved her scythe helmet, which had lost its ability to battle, stared at the Poké Ball in her hand for a long time, and then took a deep breath.

Even her own spirit is working so hard, how could she not persevere?
