Chapter 65: Zuo Hang: Run, Quick!
Zuo Hang repeated his previous words, but this time to Xingye and Lin Ping.
“Stay far away, the farther the better!”
He reached for his lower back.
A red glow flashed, and Ninjask took wing into the air.
“Gardevoir! Open Misty Terrain first! Darkrai Double Team into Nasty Plot! Ninjask, Double Team into Screech into X-Scissor!”
“Pikachu! Open Electric Terrain first, then Thunder!”
Electric arcs and mist rose simultaneously in the venue.
Darkrai and Ninjask’s figures moved at high speed, several illusions appearing out of thin air. In half a breath, both’s clones became as real as entities. Ninjask’s clones were densely packed, no fewer than a hundred, but Darkrai only had dozens.
Though fewer, being able to create entity-like clones was enough to show both were top users of Double Team, just the difference between T0 and T1.
Hundreds of Ninjask screamed simultaneously.
“——Bzzzz~~~~~~Bzzz!!!!!!”
—Skill, Screech: Emit a piercing sound, greatly lowering the opponent’s defense at the same time.
Guzzlord seemed to have awakened from its earlier sleep, its movements clearly sluggish, but the Screech from these hundreds of Ninjask jolted it fully awake. Before it could react, the hundreds of Ninjask were already slashing at it with sharp forelimbs.
—X-Scissor!
Bug Type physical attack, power 40.
Every time X-Scissor hits the opponent, the next X-Scissor’s power increases, maximum power 160!
As each Ninjask charged at Guzzlord, Xingye and Lin Ping could see the circular aura shocked out in the air due to excessive speed.
Sharp forelimbs slashed at Guzzlord’s pitch-black skin. Every X-Scissor hit increased Ninjask’s speed a bit.
—Trait Speed Boost: Pokémon with this trait have their speed improved after every skill release, with the boost limit depending on the Pokémon’s body tolerance limit.
Ears rang with the sonic booms from hundreds of Ninjask accelerating.
X-Scissor at power 160 continuously chopped at Guzzlord’s body.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Darkrai’s Nasty Plot completed, holding dark matter of Dark Pulse in hand. Gardevoir’s Moonblast was also nearly coalesced to the bursting zero point.
“Ninjask, retreat!”
As Zuo Hang’s words fell, the sonic booms stopped. Ninjask flapped its wings, quickly pulling distance from Guzzlord.
At the same time, Darkrai threw the dark matter in hand. The previous dozens of shadow clones’ palms hooked halfway simultaneously, turning into shadows!
—Shadow Claw!
The dark matter invaded the thick skin that X-Scissor failed to tear open.
Thunder power trailed Moonblast. Golden thunder serpents invaded along the wounds torn by the dark matter. Moonblast was swallowed by the recovered Guzzlord in one gulp. Zuo Hang didn’t hear an explosion.
Possibly the sound of lunar power exploding in its belly was masked by Pikachu’s crackling lightning, or maybe Moonblast was extinguished in the space inside Guzzlord’s belly before it could explode.
Its appetite is twenty times that of Snorlax. It’s said to swallow a mountain whole in one bite, so one Moonblast seems reasonable too.
Golden lightning power rampaged freely over Guzzlord, but it showed no pained expression because of it.
Its body, previously just over four meters tall, slowly grew amid the thunder’s ravage, barely stopping when inflated to nearly 40 meters.
Zuo Hang looked up, his view filled only with Guzzlord’s gaping maw, a deep blue energy flowing in its mouth.
This was Dragon Pulse.
Dark Pulse is a terrifying aura driven by dark matter, hard to dodge, but Dragon Pulse is a frontal light cannon, easy to evade. Guzzlord’s huge size made turning and such maneuvers very difficult for its 40-meter-plus body.
Ninjask and Darkrai didn’t need Zuo Hang’s reminder; they took to the air and flew away upon seeing the deep blue pulse.
Gardevoir used Psychic to fly behind Zuo Hang, her two bracelets around his waist.
—Teleport!
Zuo Hang and Gardevoir appeared in a relatively safe spot behind Guzzlord. The frontal battlefield had only Pikachu left.
Vague shadows flickered in the black clouds overhead.
Pale and dark gold dual mad thunder wove and entwined in the black clouds. The electric light rampaging inside and on Guzzlord’s body surprisingly rose back into the air.
“Roar~~~~~~~~~~~!!!”
A deafening roar suddenly burst from the black clouds. The shadow coiled in the thunder grew more solid.
It was a Thunder Kirin composed of dual-color electric light.
Distant Gardevoir used Psychic to lift Pikachu into the air, sending him all the way to the black cloud edge. A weird electric field erupted under Pikachu’s feet. Lightly stepping the air, Pikachu leaped into the thunder himself at the last moment.
The Thunder Kirin was several times larger than Guzzlord’s body. Pikachu was now at the Kirin’s midsection, skill light of High Voltage shining on him, diving down together with the Thunder Kirin!
Zuo Hang was too lazy to name so many form changes, but not this move.
A two-Pokémon combination technique requiring Gardevoir’s Psychic cooperation to complete!
“—Proud Electric Light Above the Storm, representing the Dual Mad Thunder of Suffocation and Despair. The ultimate electric attribute manipulator descends here to bring world-ending destruction!—Roar! Pika Kirin!”
“Pika~~~! Chu~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!”
Lightning chains and electric arcs trailed behind the Thunder Kirin. All thunder and lightning-related forms rampaged freely along the rainwater created by Thunder.
Majestic, dignified, thick thunder pillars filled with various violent aesthetics dove downward.
Guzzlord’s body was huge, but judging it hard to turn was a mistake on its part.
Grounded Guzzlord suddenly twisted its head, aiming the Dragon Pulse in its mouth at the sky!
The straight deep blue light cannon pierced the Kirin’s chest. Lightning power scattered in the rain quickly replenished it. Pikachu at the lightning center hard-took a pulse light cannon too, but the High Voltage on him didn’t extinguish.
“Pika~~Pika~~~Pika~~~~~Pika~~~~~~~!!!”
Their distance grew ever closer. The Kirin opened its mouth, inner dual-color thunder intertwining wildly.
Only when nearing the ground did they realize this open-mouthed Kirin could swallow Guzzlord whole without issue!
The two eyes on its upper jaw showed no fear, letting the thunder engulf itself.
The Thunder Kirin opened wide to swallow Guzzlord, but Guzzlord also gaped its maw at Pikachu in the lightning core!!!
Can’t dodge? Then trade one for one!
“Gardevoir!!”
Zuo Hang pulled a red stone from his pocket, shouting to the side. Gardevoir instantly understood, her eyes filled with Psychic’s red glow.
But the usually invincible Psychic couldn’t break through the thunderstorm created by Pikachu. Lightning had already engulfed Guzzlord, and Pikachu was about to be swallowed by Guzzlord in one gulp.
The stone in Zuo Hang’s hand emitted blinding white light. The Mega Stone on Gardevoir’s finger ring also shone with multicolored flowing light, responding to the Evolution Key Stone in Zuo Hang’s hand!
—Green arms donned white gloves, the ordinary white skirt became an evening gown-like white long dress, the red horn on her chest went from one to two.
—Mega Gardevoir!
A flash of resolve in her eyes, Gardevoir covered herself with Psychic.
Teleport forcibly invaded the thunderstorm. Guardian Aura evaded one falling thunderbolt, but Gardevoir was immediately struck by other electric arcs, her body tilting, nearly losing balance.
Using Psychic to lift Pikachu, Teleport activated again, both jumping back to Zuo Hang’s side.
Guzzlord turned its gaze to Zuo Hang, eyes filled with unwillingness and mad rage from being toyed with.
With Pikachu gone, the lightning became ownerless. Guzzlord opened wide, swallowing the latter half of the Thunder Kirin’s body. The 47-character ultimate move’s damage wasn’t fully dealt.
But even so, the front half’s violent thunder was enough to make it suffer.
Its massive body trembled nonstop in the lightning.
Several charred spots appeared on its black skin. The tongue extending from its lower jaw was directly severed by lightning, and one eye on its upper jaw seemed blinded too.
Severely injured, but no wounds fatal enough or directly crippling its combat ability.
Not only that, electric current still rampaged over Guzzlord, and blue skill light lit up on its body again.
Zuo Hang sensed something wrong.
He tossed two Poké Balls into the sky, recalling Nightmare God and Ninjask, then turned to Gardevoir and Pikachu.
“Run! Hurry and run! This damn thing is about to use Dragon Rush!”
