Pokémon: I have no choice but to do this old thing?

Chapter 118 Facing the Fury of the Deep Sea

The enraged Kyogre hovered above the sea, its giant orange-yellow eyes sweeping over the "little ones" waiting on the shore, as well as the few Pokémon that exuded a formidable aura.

In its mind, Manaphy's urgent and terrified distress signals echoed one after another, like a sharp alarm, stimulating its already fragile nerves.

Frustrated! Utterly frustrated!

Do you really think you can stop the embodiment of the ocean with just a few Pokémon of decent strength and level? That's incredibly naive!

A hint of undisguised mockery flashed in Kyogre's eyes. Within its massive maw, covered in fine shark teeth, a bluish-white, destructive energy began to gather and compress, becoming even larger and more condensed than before!

This time, it's no longer an ordinary [water cannon], but its true exclusive skill, Root Wave!

"Whoosh—!!!"

The deep humming sound seemed to come from the bottom of the sea, resonating with the thunder in the sky.

The ancient patterns on Kyogre's body lit up one by one, and the powerful water energy frantically drew on the power of the surrounding ocean and water vapor, condensing in front of it into several azure energy spheres with astonishing diameters and high-speed rotation!

Inside the energy sphere is a raging torrent of water, compressed to its limit, powerful enough to tear apart continents!

"not good!"

Cynthia's expression changed, and she shouted sharply, "Everyone, defend with all your might! We can't let it bombard the city!"

The alarm in the coastal city was instantly raised to the highest level, and a sharp screech resounded throughout the city, intertwining with the powerful hum of Kyogre to create a prelude to death.

"Gardevoir, use Light Screen to maximize its area of ​​effect!" Zhang Jianying and Karune reacted just as quickly.

"Gastrodon, prepare the Water Absorb ability! Milotic, use Mirror Coat!" Cynthia's command was concise and powerful.

The two Gardevoirs simultaneously raised their hands, unleashing their psychic powers without reservation, constructing a dazzling, semi-transparent, massive wall of light in front of the coastline, stretching between Kyogre and the city!

The sea globule's body surface rapidly secreted mucus, emitting a strange attraction, attempting to guide and absorb the incoming water-type energy. Milotic, on the other hand, gracefully swayed its body, its beautiful scales shimmering like mirrors, preparing to deflect the attack back!

The mockery in Georka's eyes intensified.

After a brief period of charging, the giant maw suddenly opened wide!

Several azure energy spheres erupted with a deafening roar! Each one extended into a condensed water column several meters in diameter, splitting the sea surface, tearing through the air, and shooting towards the coastal city and the people on the shore with a force capable of annihilating everything!

Most of the water jets slammed into the Light Wall that the two Gardevoirs had erected together!

"Boom! Boom boom boom—!!!"

Deafening impacts rang out one after another! The light wall trembled violently, its surface rippling with dense waves, its psychic light flickering erratically, as if it might shatter at any moment! Zhang Jianying's Gardevoir paled slightly, and Karney's Gardevoir also frowned, clearly under immense pressure.

The sea hare successfully attracted and absorbed some of the dissipated water energy nearby, causing its body to swell slightly. However, more energy surged against it, causing it to let out a muffled groan.

Milotic's Mirror Reflection took effect, barely refracting several slanted water columns toward the sea surface, creating towering splashes, but it was also pushed back by the recoil.

However, the number of [Root Fluctuations] far exceeds the coverage of the defense!

Three exceptionally thick, azure water columns cleverly bypassed the edge of the [light wall], tracing deadly arcs, their target being the relatively densely populated area of ​​city buildings behind them!

"Oh no!"

Cynthia abruptly turned her head, her expression instantly turning extremely grim. Her Garchomp was preparing to attack from the flank and had no time to defend!

At this critical moment.

"Evil spirit, it's up to you now!"

Zhang Jianying's calm voice rang out, without a trace of panic.

"Bonnie!"

The tiny figure was already prepared. It quickly removed the green grass mask from its face and put on a blue well mask that looked like it was shedding tears!

Instant attribute switch! Change from Grass to Grass + Water.

Its characteristic changes to [Water Storage]!

"Bonnie!"

Egui Peng's small body leaped up like a green cannonball, accurately blocking the path of the three deadly water columns!

Three water columns containing terrifying water-based energy [Root Wave] slammed solidly into the Evil Ghost!

The anticipated scene of being knocked away did not occur.

The moment the water column touched the body of the evil spirit, it was like a mud ox entering the sea; the violent energy was quickly absorbed and dissipated by the strange mask on its face and its [water storage] property!

Egui's body trembled slightly, and a layer of light blue aura emanated from his body. His aura not only did not weaken, but it also subtly strengthened because he absorbed pure water energy!

Not only that!

In the instant it absorbed the attack, Erguilan flipped its little hand and put on the Green Grass Mask again, its attribute changing back to Grass.

Its short legs suddenly pushed off in mid-air, as if stepping on invisible stairs, and its body rose again, lightly leaping onto the back of the Mega Salamence that had just completed its MEGA evolution!

The Salamence's appearance has changed drastically. Its wings have transformed into crescent-shaped crimson scythes, its body is covered with even more ferocious scales, and its scarlet pupils are burning with excited flames!

"roar--!"

Mega Salamence, carrying Urgot, hurtled toward Kyogre at top speed.

Beneath the mask of the evil creature, its small face was resolute. For over a hundred years, it had relentlessly honed its skills day after day in that desolate mountain forest, all for this moment, to possess enough power to protect the people and home it wanted to protect!

The air around it distorted slightly, and a sharp aura rose up—[Sword Dance]! Attack power greatly increased!

On the seemingly inconspicuous thorny vine staff in his hand, the emerald green grass-type energy crackled like tangible lightning, gathering astonishing destructive power!

"Bonnie!"

Ergui Peng gently patted the sisters' necks with his thorny vine stick.

"roar!!!"

The Mega Salamence let out a roar of excitement that was almost terrifying, and its crescent-shaped wings suddenly flapped! Even in the face of the terrifying pressure of the ocean's incarnation, it showed no fear, its heart filled only with a fervent fighting spirit to fight alongside its companions!

"Whoosh—!"

One dragon, transformed into a bolt of lightning interwoven with red and green, tore through the heavy rain curtain, and with a resolute attitude, charged fiercely towards the blue giant shadow on the sea that resembled a mountain!

On the shore, Karune gently nudged Cynthia beside her with her elbow. Cynthia, soaked by the downpour but relieved, still managed a teasing smile even in this tense moment. She lowered her voice and said, "Hey, your little boyfriend—he's pretty reliable. Quick-witted in crucial moments, and his Pokémon training is beyond imagination. Remember to send me an invitation when you get married, I'll definitely give you a big red envelope."

Cynthia, who was intently watching the battle, felt a slight burning sensation at the words. She rolled her eyes at her best friend, annoyed, and spat out, "You're just being nosy!"

But her gaze involuntarily drifted to the side, a hint of pride and tenderness shimmering deep within her eyes.

Immediately, Cynthia took a deep breath, casting aside all distracting thoughts, her eyes regaining their sharp edge and radiant spirit!

"Garuda, let's go!"

"Milotic, Gastrodon, cover them!"

"Karuni!"

"clear!"

The two champions exchanged a smile, a long-dormant passion surging within them. What did it matter if they faced beings born from legend? They were champions, challengers standing at the pinnacle of Pokémon training! Any Pokémon could be defeated!

At this moment, they are not only fulfilling their duty as champions to protect the people, but also, as pure trainers, challenging the legendary strongest!

"Garuda, [Dragon Dive]!"

"Gardevoir, use Psychic to interfere!"

"Ice Dragon, [Meteor Beam] Cover!"

"Milnas, the Drop of Life is here to assist!"

The commands were clearly communicated, and the Pokémon of the two champions performed their respective duties, working together to demonstrate the qualities and tacit understanding that top trainers should have.

Zhang Jianying stood on the shore, his wave-guiding power spreading out at full force, sensing the energy flow in every part of the battlefield. He did not rush forward blindly, but calmly observed, searching for the best opportunity to provide support.

"A pair of mice! [Help]" He looked down at the two eager little creatures at his feet.

"Squeak!"

The two mice nodded at the same time and clapped their little hands together as if by telepathy.

help!

An invisible, friendly energy traversed space and landed precisely on the charging Grimmsnarl and Mega Salamence, as well as Cynthia's Garchomp!

"Bonnie!"

Evil and Mega Salamence felt an extra warm current surge through their bodies, their energy control was significantly improved, and their eyes lit up at the same time!

"Cheer!"

Garchomp also let out a low growl, and the Dragon-type energy around it became even more violent.

Mega Salamence, carrying Urgot, arrived at Kyogre's vicinity almost simultaneously with Garchomp, which attacked from the side!

"Roar—!!" "Chawoo!!"

Two violent dragon roars resounded across the sea and sky!

Mega Salamence and Garchomp simultaneously unleashed terrifying Dragon-type energy, transforming into two ferocious, roaring energy dragons. One on the left and one on the right, they charged towards Kyogre's massive body with the will to destroy everything, launching a fierce [Dragon Dive]!

At the same time, Evil leaped off the back of the Mega Salamence, its petite body contrasting sharply with the Thorn Vine Staff wrapped in emerald lightning in its hand.

It poured all its power, along with the enhancement from [Sword Dance] and the boost from [Help], into this single strike!

A turquoise light shot into the sky, like a giant tree from an ancient forest, carrying vitality and unyielding strength, and crashed down on Kyogre's head, which was covered with ancient patterns!

"Bonnie—!!!"

The other Pokémon on the shore weren't idle either.

The Ice Goose opened its mouth and spewed out a chilling [Freeze-Dry], which merged with the Ice Dragon's [Meteor Glory] in an attempt to slow down Kyogre's movements.

Shuttle silently used [Power Divide], gradually weakening Kyogre's terrifying power.

Gengar burrowed into the shadows, emerging from the shadows on the sea beneath Kyogre, and unleashed a Shadow Ball that precisely targeted the energy node that Kyogre had exposed due to the attack.

Earth-Turtle and Greatsword Demon stood in front of the group, poised to strike, ready to provide cover or launch an attack at any moment.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"

The light of countless skills struck Kyogre almost simultaneously!

Mega Salamence and Garchomp's Dragon Dive slammed into Kyogre's side and dorsal fin, creating two chaotic storms of Dragon-type energy!

The "oversized stick" of the elusive monster slammed solidly into the center of Kyogre's head!

"Bang-!!!"

A deep, muffled bang that sent a shiver down everyone's spine!

Kyogre's massive body suddenly sank downwards, its blue energy flashing violently and erratically! The second wave of [Root Wave] that it was gathering in its mouth was abruptly interrupted, and the energy scattered chaotically, exploding into countless craters on the sea surface!

Geioka: (O) ? ? ?

For the first time, its bloodshot, orange-yellow eyes revealed obvious pain and astonishment!

That little green thing, that broken stick, why does it hurt so much?!

Kyogre was a bit stunned by the attack. His huge body even rolled half a circle on the sea surface in a mess due to losing his balance. He floated belly up for a moment before roaring and flipping over again.

The water flow automatically formed a shield around it, blocking most of the aftershocks of the attack, but the spot on its head where the monster had struck it felt a faint, extremely uncomfortable, corrosive sensation from grass-type energy.

It went completely berserk!

Are you kidding me?! I'm Kyogre! The embodiment of the ocean! An ancient being!

He actually got hurt by these "little bugs"?! And that tiny green thing even hit him on the head?!

What a shame!

Kyogre let out a furious roar that shattered the clouds, and swung its fins violently to the sides!

Tsunami!

A truly massive, mountain-like wave was stirred up by an invisible force, crashing out in all directions, forcing Mega Salamence, Garchomp, and Urgot to temporarily retreat and dodge.

Then, it ceased to exist, and its giant orange-yellow eye was completely engulfed by raging fury.

Unleash your full potential!

The area affected by the rainfall has expanded dramatically, with the entire coastal city and even more distant sea areas shrouded in apocalyptic torrential rain.

Its ancient patterns emitted an unprecedented bluish-white light, and the energy fluctuations surged dramatically, even attracting thunder from the sky. Streaks of lightning, like silver dragons, struck the sea around it!

[Root Fluctuation] Reopens!

But this time, it's no longer a targeted attack!

Kyogre opened its massive maw, and countless azure energy orbs gathered and appeared around it!

360-degree coverage with no blind spots! All-around, comprehensive strike!

"Stop it!"

Cynthia shouted sharply, her expression more serious than ever before. She could sense that Kyogre was truly going all out this time, and the power of this attack would far surpass that of the previous ones!

Garchomp, Mega Evolution!

"Gardevoir, Mega Evolve into Psychic! Weaken its energy control!" Karune also gave it her all.

Mega Salamence and Garchomp, having been forced back by the tsunami, have now regained their footing and are confronting Kyogre across the churning waves.

As the trainer gave the command, Garchomp glowed with evolutionary light. After evolving, the two equally proud and irritable Dragon-type Pokémon looked at each other, both seeing an indomitable fighting spirit and excitement in each other's eyes.

Faced with such a formidable opponent, fear? It doesn't exist! There's only the desire to surpass and defeat them!

"Cheer!"

"Roar!"

The Mega Garchomp's fins cross, unleashing a fierce aura that soars into the sky—[Sword Dance]! Attack power surges once again!

Mega Salamence roars to the sky, its crescent-shaped wings flapping with a powerful and beautiful rhythm. Dragon-type energy gathers around its body like a vortex, unleashing [Dragon Dance]! Attack and Speed ​​are boosted simultaneously!

The next moment, the two enhanced Dragon-type pseudo-legendary monsters, like two cannonballs fired from a gun, transformed once again into ferocious energy dragons, tearing through the waves and launching a second [Dragon Dive], attacking Kyogre from the left and right as it charged up its full-screen ultimate move.

Standing atop the Greatsword, Zhang Jianying's brow furrowed, his Aura subtly sensing the emotional fluctuations behind Kyogre's raging fury.

Something's not right—something's very wrong.

Kyoka's anger seems to stem not only from being attacked, but also, at a deeper level, from a sense of anxiety and worry caused by constant disturbance and stimulation from something.

"We can't keep fighting like this."

Zhang Jianying quickly said to Cynthia and Karen beside him, "Legendary Pokémon have unfathomable stamina. Look, it's taken so many hits, but its aura hasn't weakened much at all. We need to figure out why it's so frenzied. If we don't address the root cause, it will only become more and more violent."

Cynthia nodded gravely: "Does your Gardevoir have any issues—hmm?"

Before she could finish speaking, the Pokémon encyclopedia at Zhang Jianying's waist beeped urgently once again.

Zhang Jianying immediately answered the call, and Xiao Zhi, panting but extremely excited, shouted from the other end: "Brother Jianying, are you alright? Hang in there! I've found Manaphy! We'll take it there right away!"

wait for me!"

Manaphy?

Zhang Jianying slapped his thigh.

All the clues connected instantly!

Kyogre's rage, its unusual restlessness and fury—

That's it!

Kyogre did not attack the coastal city without reason; it was drawn by Manaphy's distress signal!

"Watch out, Ash! The beach is too dangerous!"

Zhang Jianying hurriedly shouted into the encyclopedia, but the signal seemed to be severely interfered with, and only static could be heard before the communication was cut off.

"Manapy—was Kyogre's madness caused by Manapy?"

Cynthia instantly understood the key point, a look of realization flashing in her eyes, "It's worried about Manaphy?"

"I'm afraid that's the case."

Zhang Jianying stared at the giant blue shadow on the sea surface, about to complete its 360-degree [Root Wave] charge. His mind raced. "I must hold it back before Manaphy appears before it—"

Just then, the second wave of attacks from Evil Creeper and the two dragon-type pseudo-legendary beings came crashing down on them again!

Kyogre had to divert some of its energy to create a water shield to defend itself, which slowed down its power-up speed, but the anger in its eyes burned even more fiercely. These annoying little things just wouldn't stop!

Zhang Jianying knew she couldn't wait any longer.

He glanced at Gardevoir, whose face was pale from the continuous high-intensity use of psychic powers, and his other equally exhausted companions. Finally, he turned his gaze to the blue figure on the sea who was fighting against two champions and a host of Pokémon all by herself.

"Evil Phantom, Salamence, Garchomp."

He took a deep breath, channeling his Aura into his three main attacking Pokémon, slowly restoring their stamina. "Hold on a little longer! Reinforcements are on their way! Draw its attention away, don't let it finish that full-screen attack!"

"Boni!" "Hooray!" (Understood!)

"Heh!" (Don't order me around!)

The small green figure, along with two enormous dragon-like beasts, once again charged headlong into the raging embodiment of the ocean.

Not far from the main battlefield, Ash, carrying Manaphy who was making soft sobs, was desperately rushing towards the coast under the cover of Brock and Dawn.

His face showed no fear of legendary Pokémon, only pure anxiety and determination to help his friend.

"Xiaogang, Xiaoguang, hurry up! Brother Ajian is still waiting for us!"

"Pikachu!"

Torrential rain, raging waves, thunder, and that petite figure conveying a soothing signal —

A crucial turning point that will determine the fate of Binhai City, and may even affect the balance of the ancient world, is about to arrive.
