Chapter 131: Absolute Overwhelm, Kyurem’s Terrifying Strength!
“Since that is the case, then prove your strength to me!”
With a dragon’s roar, a terrifying pressure surged out from Kyurem.
“Crack crack crack!”
The ice layer continuously spread upwards from the edge of the lake, overlapping each other, forming a ring-shaped ice wall that surrounded the entire lake.
In almost an instant, the entire lake transformed into an ice arena exuding a cold aura.
Kyurem’s ice power finally conjured an ice door with sharp edges before Lei Wen’s eyes.
Kyurem exhaled two streams of white cold air from its nostrils. Its massive and heavy body slowly advanced, gazing at the human opposite, and its slightly hoarse, ancient voice rang out again.
“Pass through that door.”
Witnessing this scene, Lei Wen knew clearly in his heart that Kyurem had accepted his challenge.
But…
Lei Wen glanced at the Poké Balls of Dragonair and Larvesta hanging from his waist.
With their current strength, facing a being of Kyurem’s caliber, they had not the slightest chance of winning.
No matter what, there was no turning back now.
Lei Wen, who was familiar with the story, knew that to capture a Legendary Pokémon, one did not need to defeat it in strength; more importantly, one needed to earn its approval, and only then would it choose to accompany you.
This battle was not a battle in the true sense of the word; more importantly, he needed to use the battle to show Kyurem his belief.
According to the legends of Kyurem, the Dragon Stone of that year split into three.
One piece became the Light Stone, from which Reshiram was born.
One piece became the Dark Stone, from which Zekrom was born.
And the remaining shell became Kyurem.
Just like Reshiram and Zekrom, who pursued truth and ideals.
Kyurem, as the shell, was also waiting for a hero to fill its lost body with truth and ideals.
Therefore, Lei Wen could not retreat; regardless of the outcome, he had to firmly convey his beliefs to Kyurem!
With this thought, Lei Wen slowly lifted his foot and stepped resolutely into the ice door.
Witnessing this, Kyurem narrowed its eyes slightly, exhaled two streams of cold air from its nostrils, let out a roar, and swung its sharp claws. Its massive body charged towards Lei Wen like a mountain.
That move was… Shadow Claw!
Lei Wen dared not confront it head-on and immediately ordered, “Serperior, create distance, Leaf Storm!”
Upon receiving the command, Serperior’s agile body leaped up from the ice surface, using the momentum to jump onto an ice pillar behind, simultaneously unleashing Leaf Storm.
A dense green light instantly transformed into a storm composed of sharp leaves, which then swept towards Kyurem.
Facing this move, Kyurem let out a cold snort and immediately swung Shadow Claw. The giant claw imbued with shadowy power instantly tore apart the Leaf Storm.
Then, its gaze locked onto Serperior. Energy surged in its mouth, forming a thick Ice Beam that was crudely shot towards Serperior’s location.
“Evade!”
As Lei Wen’s voice rang out, the muscles in Serperior’s tail exerted sudden force, then erupted with powerful strength. Its elegant and slender body suddenly sprang up.
The Ice Beam missed, but before Serperior could land, Kyurem’s next attack followed closely.
Shadow Claw descended, and Serperior’s body was instantly sent flying backward.
Kyurem gazed at this scene, and its deep, ancient voice rang out again.
“Is this all your strength?”
As the words fell, a second Ice Beam surged out. The terrifying light instantly enveloped Serperior’s body.
A one-hit knockout!
Serperior, defeated!
Lei Wen gritted his teeth, then quickly took a Full Restore from his bag and fed it to the near-death Serperior.
Kyurem silently watched this scene.
After Lei Wen finished healing, it spoke again to remind him, “The battle is not over yet.”
“I know.” Lei Wen took a deep breath, then took out Dragonair’s Poké Ball.
But…
A moment later, Dragonair’s body was directly frozen within by a terrifying ice-type energy.
“Weak… too weak!”
Kyurem roared, as if such a presumptuous battle was an insult to it.
Lei Wen pursed his lips and silently took out the third Poké Ball.
Five seconds later, Larvesta’s fiery body had already turned ice-cold.
…………
On a rock face above the cave, the three Swordsmen silently observed the scene below.
“Hey, that human is too overconfident, isn’t he?” Terrakion’s tone was mocking.
But Cobalion, who was full of wisdom, noticed something strange.
Those Pokémon… seemed to listen to that human very well.
Keldeo remained silent, watching the scene calmly.
The Ice Arena.
Witnessing everything, Victini looked at the silent Lei Wen and became angry.
“Nini!”
It had promised the Old King that no one was allowed to bully Lei Wen!
It flew forward, looking at Kyurem in anger.
“Nini!”
“Oh? Finally, an interesting little fellow?” Kyurem’s gaze turned towards Victini.
The battle was not over yet. Lei Wen steadied his mind and said in a deep voice:
“Victini, I’m counting on you!”
Facing Victini, Kyurem seemed to show a flicker of interest.
It swung Shadow Claw again, striking heavily towards Victini.
But fortunately, Victini was small and agile. Faced with the enormous Kyurem, it easily dodged the attack.
“Now, Fire Blast!” Lei Wen ordered.
“Nini!”
An extremely scorching flame instantly erupted from Victini’s body, and balls of fire swept out from it in all directions.
As the scorching flames touched the ice surface, a “hissing” sound of melting ice echoed throughout the ice arena.
Some Fire Blasts also landed on Kyurem’s massive body.
This was also the first time they had truly hit Kyurem!
Hope instantly ignited in Lei Wen’s eyes.
But facing this scene, Kyurem merely snorted coldly.
The next second, an immensely powerful and heavy energy exploded from its massive body.
The ice surface that had been melting was instantly refrozen. Wherever the energy passed, even the air was frozen!
Victini’s Fire Blast was instantly extinguished.
A look of panic appeared on its face. Just as it was about to fly away, its tiny body was frozen in ice the next second.
Despair surged in his heart, and Lei Wen’s heart sank instantly.
He recognized that move…
That was Kyurem’s signature move, Glaciate!
In the anime, it was a powerful move capable of freezing a city in an instant!
The cold air continued to spread at an extremely fast rate.
In the blink of an eye, it reached Lei Wen’s feet.
His boots were instantly frozen firmly to the ground.
Just as it was about to freeze him as well, Kyurem suddenly retracted its power.
Its tone was cold, ruthless, and cruel as it said, “You are not qualified to wield my power.”
Kyurem slowly turned its massive body and, accompanied by mist, slowly walked into the darkness, leaving only a voice echoing in the vast ice arena.
“Leave!”
