Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 450 I won! Today I'm going to fight Mammon for three hundred rounds!
"Can you defeat my Lugia?"

Cattleya stared at Mizuki, eager to know the answer.

To be honest, she had already acknowledged Mizuki's excellence, after all, this girl was indeed a bit 'frightening'.

Talented individuals like Plantina and Serena are already astonishing, but Mizuki is even more amazing than them.

But Cattleya now really wants to know if Mizuki can defeat her.

If she can't defeat her Lugia, then at least for now, she is the 'official wife'!
This is a perfect opportunity for her to confess her feelings to Mammon and get together with him.

As for the future...

What happens later is for later. In any case, she can consider herself Mammon's queen for the time being, right?
If Mizuki can defeat her Lugia, Cattleya will have nothing to say and will be completely convinced.

"Then just watch carefully!"

Mizuki grinned and tossed her last Pokémon high into the air.

"My last Pokémon is this!"

Articuno!

With a melodious cry, a magnificent ice-blue divine bird spread its wings and took flight.

Beautiful ice-blue feathers, extremely gorgeous tail feathers, ice-blue 'dust' flying around its body, and a faint ice-blue divine glow shimmering all over its body.

It is the Articuno from the Kanto region's legends.

"A real Articuno! It's beautiful."

Prantina looked at the Articuno with curiosity; it was indeed one of the three legendary birds of Kanto.

While it does share some similarities with Galarian Articuno, their temperaments are completely different.

Articuno gives off a cool, icy elegance, but Articuno itself evokes a sense of splendor and beauty.

"But looking at it this way, Miss Mizuki's team is really amazing."

After recalling the events, Prantina was shocked to realize the strength of Mizuki's team.

Incineroar, Melmetal, Dragonite, Nihilego, Tapu Koko, Articuno.

This team is actually really strong.

"Articuno?" Cattleya examined the Kanto Articuno.

Unlike its own Articuno, this Articuno exuded a subtle sense of oppression. It was incredibly strong, certainly no weaker than Tapu Koko.

"Ah~ This is a Pokémon that Mammon gave me, and I've always cherished it."

Mizuki's smile was quite striking. Articuno was a gift from Mammon at the beginning of the year, and it was the first legendary Pokémon she had ever obtained.

Therefore, Mizuki has always attached great importance to Articuno and has spared no effort in breeding it.

Today, Articuno is one of the top mainstays in her team.

“I see.” Cattleya understood.

There's nothing to be envious of. It's normal for Mammon to give his girlfriend a legendary Pokémon. If anyone should be envious, it's Mizuki who should be envious of herself.

Mammon entrusted little Lugia to her, didn't he?
"Cheer up, Articuno, your opponent is Lugia."

After the exchange, Mizuki gave Articuno a reminder.

She doesn't want to lose!
"yiyao~"

Articuno let out a melodious cry, its eyes fixed intently on Lugia.

If it were in the wild, it would never dare to imagine that it would one day fight Lugia.

I'm fighting Lugia? Really?

But now, as Mizuki's main Pokémon, she dares to challenge not only Lugia, but even Ho-Oh and Articuno!
This is the bond between it and its trainer!

Well, Articuno is more afraid of Ho-Oh, since Ho-Oh is a Fire-type.

"I wonder if Articuno can defeat Lugia..."

Lillie watched the two legendary Pokémon facing off in the air with a bit of nervousness, even though they were both legendary.

But there are differences between the legends, aren't there?
Articuno defeating Lugia is a really difficult task.

But Lillie was already on her best friend's side, and she really hoped that Mizuki would win.

"If we're just talking about attributes, Articuno actually has an attribute advantage," Lusamine said.

That's right, after all, it's ice-based flight.

However, this type advantage doesn't really affect the outcome of the battle, as Lugia can learn many moves that are effective against Articuno.

For example, there's Electric-type Thunder, and even Rock-type Primal Power, which can counter Articuno four times over.

"It depends on how well both sides perform, and Mizuki has the advantage that Lugia isn't in top form."

Mammon said that this Articuno was slightly stronger than Tapu Koko, but only slightly.

Actually, Mizuki's biggest advantage right now is that Lugia isn't in a perfect state, and Tapu Koko has made quite a few contributions.

That attack from the Giant Guardian Alola dealt a significant blow to Lugia.

In fact, according to the game mechanics, Guardian of Giants Alola is a move that will forcibly deduct three-quarters of the opponent's HP if it hits.

Yes, according to the game, the Giant Guardian Alola is actually invincible.

But such a statement is impossible in reality, just like the one-hit kill technique Earth Shatter or absolute zero.

In the game, hitting the opponent will result in near death, but in reality, it is a very powerful move that is difficult to land.

In reality, the Giant Guardian Alola is simply an extremely powerful Capo-exclusive Z-Move, so the fact that this Capo Z-Move hit Lugia truly laid the foundation for Mizuki's victory.

Lugia's current state is unsatisfactory, which is Articuno's current advantage.

The battle begins; this is the final battle to determine the victor.

Both Mizuki and Cattleya devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the battle, fighting seriously and cautiously.

Undoubtedly, the battle was extremely intense, with both women exchanging blows with equal intensity.

As time went on, Lugia and Articuno's injuries worsened, and both Pokémon were nearing their limits.

However, thanks to his superior physique, Lugia managed to gain a slight advantage.

In another encounter, Cattleya keenly seized the opportunity.

"Cyclone Attack! (Aerial Detonation)"

"Woo~!"

Lugia's cry rang out, and a translucent white energy sphere condensed before its open mouth.

The next moment, a huge beam of light, mixed with a sharp vortex, shot towards Articuno.

A unique move of the Lugia race, the Flying-type Aerial Blast!
"Articuno can't dodge it!"

“Very spicy!”

"Articuno!!" The pupils of all three, including Plantina, shrank slightly, because the explosion in mid-air was too much for Articuno, which had just adjusted its position, to dodge!

If it gets hit, the already heavily injured Articuno absolutely cannot withstand it!

Boom!

The aerial explosion struck Articuno's chest with tremendous force, causing it to explode violently. The powerful energy, mixed with incredibly sharp air blades, slicing through Articuno's body.

The Articuno cried out in despair as it plummeted to the ground, crashing heavily and kicking up a cloud of dust.

This strike has already decided the outcome.

Articuno and Lugia are both in poor condition, and Articuno has no chance of surviving this aerial blast.

"How could this be... Mizuki actually lost..."

Lillie's face was a little pale. She never expected that one day, the strongest girl in her heart, Mizuki, would actually lose to another woman.

"Mizuki is already very strong, but her opponent is Lugia after all."

Lusamine ruffled Lillie's hair and said helplessly.

Meanwhile, Gadriya on the field finally breathed a sigh of relief; this battle had been incredibly difficult.

She was constantly on edge and dared not relax at all.

And now, it's finally over.

"Absolute zero!"

But suddenly, Mizuki's voice came over.

what? !

Cattleya suddenly raised her head, looking at the arena in disbelief.

Amidst the thick smoke and dust, a vast amount of frost and freezing air spread out, and then, a dazzling beam of icy light shot towards the exhausted little Lugia in the air.

Absolute zero, an ice-type!
"How can this be?"

Cattleya gasped in surprise, "This can't be!"
Articuno was indeed hit by the aerial blast. In its current state, how could it possibly withstand the aerial blast?
And they even managed to charge up absolute zero!
Absolute Zero is a move that requires a relatively long charging time because of its immense power.

In the hands of a powerful Pokémon, if Ice Beam is instantaneous, Blizzard takes less than a second, then Absolute Zero takes about two seconds.

Two seconds!

In combat, that's sometimes enough for the opponent to hit you with two 100,000-volt shots.

So basically, absolute zero requires special conditions to use, but why is this Articuno already charged up?
It did take long enough for it to hit the ground, but that's not right.

"Hold on!"

There wasn't enough time for Cattleya to think things through; she had to give orders.

Little Lugia immediately dodged backward, and the green protective barrier gradually lit up, but it was too rushed.

Before it could fully form, Absolute Zero had already struck Lugia.

A chilling, terrifying aura instantly invaded Lugia's entire body, causing it to let out a painful groan.

In the blink of an eye, Lugia's entire body was covered in frost from the powerful freezing air, and his body stiffened as he fell uncontrollably.

boom!
Lugia's massive body crashed heavily to the ground, and the terrifying absolute zero freezing air caused a layer of ice crystals to spread across the ground beneath it.

The entire room fell silent.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the sight of Articuno lying on the ground, panting, came into everyone's view.

On the other side, Lugia's body was also covered in white frost, but you could see that Lugia's eyes were already spinning.

I... lost.

Looking at the little Lugia who had lost the ability to fight, Cattleya's feelings were incredibly complicated.

I actually... lost.

Cattleya pursed her lips, still unable to come to her senses for a moment.

"Lugia is unable to battle, Articuno wins."

"Gardelia lost all six of her Pokémon, so the winner is Mizuki."

Once Prandina regained consciousness, she quickly ran into the arena and announced the outcome of the battle.

"Whew~ What an exciting battle, it was a close call."

Mizuki let out a long sigh of relief, but her face was beaming with a bright smile.

Awesome!! So awesome!!

"Cadelia, I will never forget this battle with you. You truly are a woman who dared to challenge me."

I agree with you!

Having thoroughly enjoyed the battle, Mizuki now finds Cattleya pleasing to the eye no matter what. With such a good sister, how could she possibly lack opportunities for future fights?
I, Mizuki, acknowledge these sisters!

"..."

After hearing Mizuki's words, Cattleya finally came to her senses and silently recalled Lugia.

How to put it? Mizuki's words were undoubtedly the boast of a victor, but there was something strange about them that Cattleya really couldn't understand.

"It's called 'Hold On,' right? Articuno used 'Hold On' to withstand the aerial explosion at the end, right?"

After a moment of silence, Cattleya asked Mizuki.

Hold on: Even when attacked, they will use their strong will to endure and not lose their ability to fight.

Aside from holding on, Cattleya really couldn't understand why Articuno hadn't lost its ability to fight.

"That's right, I deliberately had Articuno create an opening and use Hold On to counterattack."

Mizuki readily admitted it; otherwise, winning would have been extremely difficult.

"I've lost this time," Gadriya sighed inwardly.

"Don't make that face. From now on, I'll be the boss at home, and you'll be the second-in-command. I have high hopes for you," Meiyue replied with a grin.

Cattleya: "..."

"I'm always ready to take your challenge. By the way, you haven't officially started dating Mammon yet, right? Here's a tip: dress a little sexy and go into his room tonight, then say a few nice things."

"But not tonight. Today I reunited with him after a long separation, and tonight I'm going to have a three-hundred-round battle with him."

"So you should go tomorrow."

Suddenly realizing this, Mizuki added to Cattleya.

She's been holding back for almost a year, and today she has to have a good fight with Mammon.

Cattleya: "..."

Looking at Mizuki's serious face, Cattleya didn't know how to answer for a moment, and could only give an awkward but polite smile.
