Chapter 200:Fierce Battle on the Sea! The Power of Explosion!

“Dragonite!”

Dragonite reacted quickly, immediately using Protect.

Bam~

A deafening explosion sounded.

Outside the hatch, a Steel-type Pokémon slowly walked in.

Name: Silvally  
Type: Normal  
Level: 85  
Ability: System  
Individual Values: HP 31, Attack 31, Defense 31, Special Attack 31, Special Defense 31, Speed 31  
Moves: Imprison, Tri Attack, Double-Edge, Explosion  
Potential: Godly Level  

Notice: It is equipped with artificially manufactured technology weapons; once detonated, they will unleash incredible destructive power.

This Silvally was only level 85, which was not as high as Dragonite.

After checking its data, Natsume felt a bit relieved.

Brando also showed a relaxed expression as he watched Silvally emerge.

He looked at Natsume and taunted, “Do you know why I'm talking to you so much?”

Natsume interjected, “Because you’re waiting for it to come over.”

Brando paused slightly, then continued, “Exactly.”

“I’m waiting for Silvally to finish charging.”

“Next, I’ll show you just how powerful this guy can be!”

After saying this, Brando pointed at Natsume and coldly ordered, “Kill him!”

Silvally lifted its head.

Three beams of energy of different types gathered in its mouth.

“Dragonite~ Roar!”

Dragonite also got fired up, looking at Silvally.

It took a deep breath, then unleashed a wave of light resembling a silver dragon, swallowing the Tri Attack's beams.

Dragon Pulse!

Bam~

With a tremendous roar, a shockwave radiating incredible power swept outward.

Gardevoir and the opposing Reuniclus activated their energy protection barriers at the same time.

Surrounding scanners sparked with electric light and embers as a result of the energy's impact.

“Alarm, alarm! The airship has been struck; the control room is damaged, and the power system is failing. Emergency landing is imminent.”

“Alarm, alarm! The airship has been hit; it is about to make an emergency landing.”

“Alarm! The airship is about to make an emergency landing!”

Boom~

A sudden feeling of weightlessness hit.

The people and Pokémon surrounding Brando instinctively grabbed hold of nearby objects.

At an altitude of ten thousand meters,

This massive behemoth broke through the sea of clouds, then plummeted into the vast ocean with a thunderous roar.

Bam~

A tremendous wave was raised, and the seawater cascaded down like heavy rain, creating a mist.

Soon, the giant airship stabilized on the water’s surface as the waves calmed.

“It actually blocked it.”

Brando looked at Natsume’s Dragonite with a hint of astonishment.

He was clearly aware of just how strong Silvally was.

Even those powerful Champion-level Pokémon would not be its opponent.

Yet, this Dragonite had directly blocked Silvally’s attack.

Natsume smiled at Brando and said, “You’ve seen it; it’s truly impressive.”

Hearing Natsume’s words, the already aged expression on Brando’s face twisted further.

Meanwhile, in the room where little Lugia was imprisoned.

Zra~ Zra~

“Lugia?”

Little Lugia looked up in confusion as the metal door in front suddenly opened.

“Dusknoir~”

An intimidating-looking Pokémon walked in, snuffling as it approached.

It moved toward little Lugia.

However, just then, a pitch-black shadow suddenly appeared and hurled a punch toward Annihilape.

It was a Dusknoir.

Bang~

The sound of a Poké Ball opening echoed.

“Serperior~”

A flash of green light appeared.

Leaf Blade!

In front of Annihilape, Serperior suddenly materialized.

The sharp edge of the Leaf Blade swung toward Dusknoir's fist.

Bam~

With a loud crash, Dusknoir's body was slammed against the metal wall behind it.

“Serperior~”

Just as Serperior was about to deal the finishing blow to Dusknoir, a Krookodile and a Kingambit charged toward Serperior from both sides.

Night Slash!

Serperior reacted quickly.

Suddenly, a flurry of snow-like petals swirled around, indiscriminately attacking everything in its vicinity.

Serperior coiled in place, surrounded by dancing petals.

Grass-type Move: Petal Blizzard!

Krookodile being a Ground-type Pokémon immediately halted its attack and retreated.

Bam~

Kingambit, having some resistance to Grass-type moves, continued to lunge at Serperior!

“Serperior~”

A barrier rose in front of Serperior.

Bam~

With a muffled thud, Serperior blocked Kingambit’s attack.

At the same time, two Vine Whips shot out rapidly from Serperior’s body, wrapping around Kingambit.

Slam!

Kingambit was slammed repeatedly against the metal walls by the Vine Whip.

The wall instantly caved inward, leaving a noticeable dent.

Krookodile lunged toward Serperior’s Vine Whip, opening its mouth to bite through it!

With the help, Kingambit quickly backed off and created some distance from Serperior.

“Serperior~”

Dusknoir stood up again at this moment.

The three Pokémon scattered and positioned themselves to surround Serperior.

Serperior’s gaze swept over the three Pokémon, each at least of Elite-level strength.

In Serperior’s eyes, there was disdain and pride!

Under the intimidation of Glare, a storm began to brew inside the ship's cabin!

Boom~

This was Serperior’s Leaf Storm!

In the control room of the fortress,

Annihilape’s silhouette suddenly appeared in front of Natsume.

Natsume looked at Annihilape and smiled, “Did you find it?”

Annihilape nodded.

Brando’s expression slightly changed. “Oh no.”

“Reuniclus, let’s go!”

Gardevoir glanced at them.

Disable!

Natsume smiled at Brando and said, “While you’re waiting for Silvally, I’m waiting for them to find little Lugia.”

“It seems we’ve both achieved our goals. Isn’t that great?”

Brando turned sharply to look at Natsume. “Don’t get too cocky, you brat!”

As he spoke, two Poké Balls appeared in his hand. “Come forth, Magnezone and Abomasnow!”

“Magnezone, Abomasnow, take care of them!”

“Eevee~”

Arcevee dashed toward Magnezone, and during its movement, Arcevee’s form began to change.

Arcevee evolved into Flareon.

Flamethrower!

A torrent of flames surged toward Magnezone.

Zra~

Electricity flickered across Magnezone's body.

Boom~

That was the collision of Thunderbolt and Flamethrower!

“Awooo~”

At the same time, a somewhat excited roar echoed.

Arcanine charged at Abomasnow with a searing flame.

“Awooo!”

Flare Blitz!

Seeing the frenzied Arcanine, Abomasnow immediately used a protective move.

“Awooo!”

Arcanine’s speed didn’t falter as it slammed into Abomasnow.

Bang!

With a tremendous impact, Abomasnow slid backward and braced itself against the ground to stop.

When Dragonite sent the Lapras group back to the Farm, Natsume had already devised a plan.

Thus, he had Dragonite bring Arcanine and Zoroark along.

Natsume always believed in the saying, “The early bird catches the worm, while the latecomer suffers.”

Since he already knew someone was following him, he intended to deal with them before Manaphy found the Temple.

“Dragonite!”

At that moment, Dragonite grabbed Silvally’s body!

Extreme Speed!

Bam~

The two Pokémon crashed through the control room and plunged into the sea.

Their bodies rapidly descended toward the ocean floor.

Meanwhile, the energy within Silvally surged wildly.

“Silvally!”

Silvally broke free from Dragonite’s embrace and unleashed Air Cutter underwater toward Dragonite!

The water was sliced apart!

However, the move lacked accuracy against Dragonite.

Dragonite was incredibly agile underwater.

Silvally was far behind in comparison.

Silvally darted quickly toward the surface.

“Dragonite~”

Dragonite calmly watched as Silvally attempted to escape, accelerating to intercept it from below and reaching out with Dragon Claw to grab its ankle.

“Dragonite~”

With a powerful swing, Dragonite hurled Silvally back into the water.

The water became increasingly murky as Silvally looked around.

It could only see that it was completely enveloped by bubbles.

“Dragonite~”

Silvally could hear Dragonite’s voice nearby.

Bam~

Dragon Claw!

On the surface of the sea!

Waves surged forward, rushing into the airship fortress.

The water had risen to their feet.

If nothing changed, this airship would soon sink.

Natsume looked outside.

The sunset was approaching.

The sea looked beautiful at that time, with the setting sun casting an orange hue over the water.

The colors of the sunset made the clouds at the horizon appear more dreamlike.

“It’s a lovely day.”

Natsume smiled at Brando and said, “I think tonight's moon will be full.”

Brando replied coldly, “That’s a disaster.”

Brando was a Westerner.

He didn’t like the full moon.

In their historical legends, during the full moon, Lycanroc would become more violent.

Vampire Pokémon would also invade human homes.

Natsume looked at Brando and said, “How can that be a disaster? It’s clearly a wonderful day.”

“Right, Gardevoir?”

Natsume looked toward Mega Gardevoir.

Mega Gardevoir raised her hand slightly, and a full moon rose.

Gardevoir smiled softly. “Mm~”

Boom~

A beam radiating white mist shot toward Reuniclus.

Moonblast!

A Light Screen condensed in front of Reuniclus.

Boom~

Mega Gardevoir's Special Attack was astonishingly high.

The beam passed through the Light Screen and enveloped Reuniclus’s body.

“Reuniclus!”

Reuniclus looked at Gardevoir and felt a powerful pressure.

The Fairy-type energy was reducing Reuniclus’s Inner Focus.

Under the Moonblast, Reuniclus's Special Attack fell.

“Reuniclus, use Rock Tomb!”

Reuniclus swung its arm, launching gigantic rocks toward Gardevoir.

Gardevoir’s speed was fast as it teleported repeatedly.

Brando continued, “Psyshock!”

Natsume simultaneously said, “Psyshock!”

Mega Gardevoir aimed at Reuniclus.

Reuniclus glared intensely at Gardevoir.

~Boom~

Two solidified psychic waves surged toward each other.

Bam~

The shockwaves collided violently in the center, producing a resounding explosion.

Quickly, the power of the moves became apparent.

The overflow of energy caused Gardevoir’s skirt to sway gently.

Gardevoir’s move broke through Reuniclus’s Psyshock and then struck Reuniclus itself.

Reuniclus was knocked backward by the force of the energy.

“Why are this guy’s Pokémon so strong?”

Brando glared at Natsume’s Gardevoir, unwilling to accept it, and quickly said, “Reuniclus, use Pain Split!”

Brando then focused his gaze on Natsume!

A strange energy began to rise from Reuniclus.

As this energy aimed to connect Natsume and Reuniclus,

Gardevoir pointed a finger, and a figure—who appeared to be either alive or dead—suddenly appeared in front of Natsume, blocking Reuniclus’s Pain Split.

At that moment, Reuniclus looked even paler.

Natsume commanded directly, “Now, Dazzling Gleam!”

“Gardevoir~”

Mega Gardevoir raised her hand again and looked towards Reuniclus.

Boom~

A dazzling light instantly engulfed Reuniclus's body!

Bam~ Whoosh~

At the same time, searing flames spread outward.

The flames were frozen by the ice.

However, the ice quickly melted under the heat of the flames.

Abomasnow watched Arcanine in fear.

This guy is simply a maniac.

With Arcanine's speed and type advantage, combined with its brutal battle style, Abomasnow found itself completely unable to defend!

“Awooo!”

Arcanine's body was once again enveloped in flames.

Flare Blitz!

At that moment, Abomasnow was clearly panicking.

“Abomasnow!”

Abomasnow growled at Arcanine.

Double-Edge!

The surging flames collided with the biting cold.

“Awooo~ Roar!”

The flames surged forward, instantly engulfing Abomasnow's body.

Bam~

With a massive crash, Abomasnow was slammed by Arcanine out of the airship and into the sea.

“Awooo~”

Arcanine glanced at the towering water column before slowly extinguishing the flames.

With a hint of disdain, Arcanine looked around at the surrounding sea before leaping upward.

“Awooo~”

Arcanine glanced at Magnezone.

Natsume and Gardevoir also looked over.

“Eevee.”

Arcevee’s face turned slightly red.

Oh no, he was the only one who hadn’t resolved his battle yet.

“Magnezone, Self-Destruct!”

At that moment, Brando suddenly shouted loudly.

Magnezone hesitated for a moment, then floated to the entrance of the control room.

Brando didn’t hesitate to turn and run outside.

A flash of electricity coursed through his body, and he burst forth with astonishing speed, moving like a bolt of lightning.

“Is he a cyborg?”

Natsume looked at him with slight surprise before shifting his attention back to Magnezone, which stood in their way.

Zra~

The power of a self-destruct from a Elite-level Pokémon was undeniably immense!

At the same time, Gardevoir, Arcanine, and Arcevee all activated Protect together.

Boom~ Bam~

Flames shot up into the sky!

Magnezone’s self-destruct thundered like a clap of thunder throughout the sky.

The massive shockwave caused the front of the airship to disintegrate instantly.

Debris from the ship flew everywhere.

They were propelled into the air by the blaze and then fell heavily into the sea, causing huge splashes.

Thick black smoke billowed into the surroundings.

In the haze, flickering flames danced.

Such a scene brought a touch of desolation to the previously beautiful seaside.

Natsume and Gardevoir hovered in the air.

Natsume looked at the wreckage of the airship, which had been blown apart, and said, “What incredible power.”

Brando quickly charged toward the position of little Lugia.

He looked anxious, muttering to himself, “It’s fine, it’s fine.”

“There are three Dusknoir guarding that area. As long as little Lugia is there, everything will be fine.”

“Lugia, my Lugia!”

Brando’s veins bulged as he let out a furious roar.

The next moment~

Rumble~

Giant vines surged out wildly.

These writhing vines filled the passageways of the airship.

Brando watched this scene, his expression suddenly becoming blank.

Because hanging from these vines were Dusknoir, Krookodile, and a Kingambit.

The vines lifted upward through the breach in the airship.

Serperior stood proudly in the sunset, carrying the seemingly dazed little Lugia.
