Pokémon from Galar

boom--!

A tremendous roar echoed through the sky as Little Chirp reached supersonic speed. Mary, who was clinging to its back, even had her ears ringing from the sonic boom. If it weren't for the faint light protecting her body, Mary might have lost consciousness.

Quickly realizing what was happening, Little Chirp now possessed the ability to alleviate Mary's burden. The carapace on its wings rapidly disintegrated, and more than ten bladed birds layered over Mary's body, stabilizing her and generating a cone-shaped energy barrier that blocked the gale from the outside.

But at this moment, evolution is still not over.

'This is truly astonishing. To be able to control it to this extent at such a young age... is there something about Necrozma's light that I haven't yet discovered?'

"Then you should do more research, lest you end up failing after reviving yourself. Your plan is several levels more difficult than evolving Little Chick."

With her stress relieved, Mary even had the leisure to make a joke to Mujitana.

……

boom--!

The roar from the sky made several gym leaders wandering in the wilderness look up at the same time, only to see a Corviknight with a dark red tail streaking across the sky.

"Hey? Could that thing be a Corviknight? I don't remember anyone's Corviknight having that kind of speed. And what's that red tail flame? Did it eat Moltres?"

Kibana swallowed hard, listening to his companions' exclamations and doubts through his headset, a slightly bad feeling creeped into his heart... The Corviknight came from Spiketown, and its destination was most likely the Snowfield.

"Stop talking nonsense. Focus on Zapdos now. Lurina, it's heading your way!"

"learn!"

Cibaner glanced down at the Rotom phone in his pocket, hesitated for a moment, and decided it would be better to wait until things were settled before contacting it.

……

Meanwhile, on the snowy plains...

Nie Zi and Apollo stood facing each other in the snow, each surrounded by their own Pokémon. Nie Zi took out some Vitality Shards and fed them to the injured Pokémon one by one.

The battle between the two was temporarily halted by the unexpected intruder. Nie Zi's gaze kept lingering on Articuno between the two and Apollo.

His goal was simply to kill Apollo on the spot, but Articuno's appearance was very inexplicable. Not only did it attack the two of them right away, but it also seemed to be planning to treat them as opponents at the same time.

"Team leader, Champion and Mei Rong Dojo Master are already on their way to provide support."

"I see."

Nie Zi took a deep breath. The reinforcements were mobilized quickly, but it would take a while to get from the north of Galar to the south. He knew what the person who sent this message was thinking: to find an opportunity to retreat and prioritize his own safety.

Apollo on the other side was even more dumbfounded. He had no idea what his two colleagues had done to manage to expose all three legendary birds in one go. If Articuno had appeared in front of him at a different time, Apollo would probably have been overjoyed.

But now, with the formidable Nie Zi standing nearby, it's hardly a happy situation.

The Articuno on the other side had clearly locked onto him. The Psychic Blade that had almost killed him earlier made him realize that Articuno was skilled in psychic abilities.

This bird actually dared to lock onto both him and Nie Zi at the same time.

"唳——!!!"

Articuno launched the first attack, suddenly flapping its wings and rising into the air. Dozens of pink psychic blades and light blue air blades mixed together and covered the dozen or so Pokémon and two humans below!

Nie Zi's pupils constricted slightly; the attack's coverage area was too large to be dispersed!

"defense!"

After Nie Zi gave the order, the turbaned thug and Absol simultaneously launched a rockfall, launching the blade high into the air.

Squid King stood guard beside Nie Zi, reinforcing the nearly dissipated Reflection Barrier and Light Wall, while Toxtricity stood to the side unleashing a burst of electricity, 100,000 volts sweeping across the sky.

Weavile is not good at ranged attacks, so it unleashed a loud roar at Articuno.

The blocking bear then unleashed its freezing fist to crush any fish that managed to escape.

Apollo on the other side made the same choice, with all the Pokémon gathering together to block the overwhelming blades. However, compared to Nie Zi's ease, Apollo looked a little more disheveled.

After blocking the attack, Nie Zi immediately pulled out the key stone that he had been keeping hidden.

"Absol!"

"Roar!"

The light of Mega Evolution was obscured by the smoke and dust, just as Articuno's attack ceased.

"Headband-wearing thug, Squid King, defend! The rest of you, attack!"

Nie Zi couldn't guess Articuno's type yet, but since it had already shown its extraordinary Psychic and Flying-type moves, the bandana-wearing rascal with almost no ranged attacks was not suitable to go up and fight. Moreover, they needed to be wary of Apollo's movements.

……

Further up the mountainside, Domino and Lambda lay prone in the snow, watching Nie Zi's massive battle from afar.

When do we enter?

Domino turned her head slightly to look at Lambda.

"You should retreat first. That's no longer a battlefield you can interfere in. Besides, we need to make sure that someone else is in command."

Lambda's words surprised Domino, who stared wide-eyed at his colleague.

"are you serious?"

"Stop talking nonsense. What good are you as a researcher? Do you think I'd drag you down?"

After saying that, the two of them fell silent, while Lambda held onto the reassuring Poké Ball, contemplating the right moment to enter the fray.

P.S.: Speaking of Gigantamax Corviknight, how do you use the extra Blade Bird? Air Blade, Steel Wing, or Drill Peck or something? It feels like a bomber!

My head hurts so much, I touched it today.

My head hurts so much. Why did I have to write this kind of plot...? Including Lambda, the three of them probably have at least fourteen or fifteen Pokémon.

Then Articuno added to the chaotic battle of mutual sabotage. After Marie arrived, even if I only let Chip, Palmon, and Eevee appear, there would still be about twenty Pokémon on the field.

When I put my hands on the keyboard, I felt like my head was going to explode...

Chapter 308 Bombing is the Best Way to Enter

While Lambda was observing, Nie Zi and Apollo simultaneously distanced themselves from each other. Although they were unwilling, their trainer's instincts unconsciously led them to cooperate briefly when facing a legendary Pokémon.

Apollo's Crobat and Misdreavus were entangled in mid-air with Articuno and its clones, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. Nie Zi left the only flying squid by his side.

However, the trembling salamander standing on the ground, protected by the blocking bear, completely abandoned its defense and devoted all its attention to the attack, with exciting electronic music accompanied by dazzling lightning flashing wildly.

The terrifying electric shock pierced through Articuno's barrage of bullets, striking the distracted Articuno before it could dodge. At the same time, Apollo's Magmar followed closely behind, its rampaging heat melting away all the nearby snowflakes and revealing the dark soil beneath.

Taking advantage of the moment Articuno is hit, time it perfectly to the instant the barrage appears to open.

Large-character fire explosion!

A massive flame shot into the air with a force no less powerful than the Tremor Salamander's Lightning, and the surging heatwave seemed to reach Lambda, who was far from the battlefield.

boom--!!!

An explosion and flames, far more powerful than the electric shock, completely engulfed Articuno. Heat radiated in all directions without restraint, causing the snow to boil and evaporate the instant it melted, and the frozen mud to be scorched dry and cracked in an instant.

Without hesitation, the Squid King stretched out its tentacles, wrapped them around Nie Zi's body, and pulled him back, away from the high-temperature area near the battlefield.

Nie Zi himself was not surprised by the scene at all. If Apollo couldn't even do this much, he wouldn't have survived for so long under his control.

At the same time, he did not think that Articuno could lose its fighting ability with just two attacks, so before the smoke of battle had completely dissipated, Nie Zi organized a second round of attacks!

"Absolu! Mawile!"

The two Pokémon, whose main attack method is physical attack, had been waiting quietly until now. The moment they heard Nie Zi's voice, they couldn't wait to launch the attack they had been preparing for a long time!

A sneak attack on a vital point!

The aura that Absol unleashed after its Mega Evolution was more restrained than that of Weavile, but its handsome appearance after Mega Evolution and the deep, viscous energy flow proclaimed the extraordinary power of this attack.

Apollo's Crobat and Mismagius followed closely behind, while Bird Slam and Shadow Ball shot towards Articuno in the smoke from another direction!

"唳——!!!"

As the two had anticipated, Articuno, under attack, still roared with power, its wings slicing through the air, covered in Flying-type energy, as it swung directly at Mega Absol and Weavile, who were already close at hand.

Clunk! Clunk!

A piercing sound, accompanied by a clash of energies, echoed through the sky. Articuno steadily withstood the combined attack from Mega Absol and Weavile, but the burst of energy still damaged Articuno's body.

"唳——!!!"

The injured Articuno let out an even more piercing cry! No longer holding back its power, it surged forth with extraordinary frenzy!

boom--!!!

A terrifying storm suddenly erupted from Articuno's center, the gale scattering smoke and flames in one breath, the chaotic air currents filled with malicious energy, and the storm cut through the four Pokémon that tried to approach Articuno.

Unable to fly, Mega Absol and Weavile did not persist. After using their energy to protect their bodies, they were powerlessly knocked away.

Crobat's Bird Slam broke through the storm's blockade, barely touching Articuno before being cleaved away by Articuno's Psychic Blade. Shadow Ball was directly torn apart by the violent Flying-type energy, failing to make any contact with Articuno.

The howling wind continued, forcefully suppressing the two people and their dozen or so Pokémon.

Then Articuno split into four, no longer floating in mid-air but separating into two pairs, swooping down towards Nie Zi and Apollo respectively!

Toxtricity hid beside Ursaring, unleashing a Thunderbolt attack that easily pierced through the illusion. Articuno was unharmed. Upon seeing this, Apollo immediately ordered Magmar and Electrode to be on high alert.

but--

The illusory figure suddenly materialized, Articuno suddenly shot out several feathers, and Air Slash and Psychic Blade cut through the air, fiercely slashing towards the Barrier Bear and the Tremor Salamence on the ground!

The blocking bear deftly stepped aside, blocking the trembling salamander's path. Its fists erupted with violent lightning as it swiftly threw punches!

Boom boom boom boom—!!!

Each of its incredibly fast punches could shatter a wing; no attack could get past the Blocking Bear's fists.

"Thunder!"

The trembling salamander hid behind the blocking bear, its thoughts perfectly aligned with Nie Zi's. Vast amounts of electrical energy began to gather in the dark clouds; the release of the lightning strike would take a little while.

Articuno, however, refused to take the attack so easily. It pounced on the Blocker, its wings flashing a smooth, silvery-white light before abruptly retracting. Then, it reversed its body and unleashed a powerful upward thrust with its steel wings.

Facing the ferocious lightning fist, the energy exploded rapidly, but instead sent the Block Bear flying! Exposing the Vibrating Salamence to Articuno!

With a light tap of its talons on the ground, Articuno sensed the increasing electrical energy gathering above its head and the loose defense of the other person behind it. A thought struck it, and the illusion and reality subtly switched places once more.

No one noticed Articuno's movements. Toxtricity gritted its teeth, bracing itself for an attack, and summoned a lightning bolt that seemed capable of shattering the earth.

At the same time, Articuno unleashed a Psychic Blast at the Magmortar!

boom--!!!!
