Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

"Phew!!"

Pheromone mantises are dancing, while the icy wind howls.

The sheer vitality of life, even under the harshness of nature, left many viewers in awe.

For a moment, they couldn't even tell who the main character of this battle was.

Is that the Ice Nine-Tails that can change the world with a single breath?

Is it still that pheromone mantis, dancing proudly in the wind and snow?

"It's a pity I ran into Bingbing..."

Before this match, Mu Yun neither liked nor disliked the Pheromosa.

But after that dance, he suddenly felt that the Pheromone Mantis was actually not bad.

If it weren't for Bingbing, they might have gone even further in the Black Dragon Cup.

Although Bingbing is slightly inferior to Pheromosa in terms of level, with her exaggerated bonuses, these differences have long been eliminated, and she even surpasses it.

After all, for Pokémon below the Elite Four level, even between major levels, there isn't the same insurmountable gap as between the Gym Leader and Elite Four levels.

"Ee~~"

A clear, ethereal voice suddenly rang out, cutting through the howling wind and snow to reach everyone's ears.

The next second, a faint, ethereal beam of light shot out from the snowstorm.

Its rate of fire is not fast, but its range is extremely wide.

The Pheromosa in its butterfly dance immediately detected the incoming attack and tried to dodge using the speed boost from the butterfly dance.

However, it is unclear whether the icy weather slightly reduced its response or whether the beam of light covered too large an area.

Ultimately, her right leg was still accidentally grazed by the beam of light.

cold!

The coldness that makes my skin numb!

A chill that seeps into your bones!

It's freezing cold!

The pheromone had never experienced such a chilling cold that seemed to freeze its soul.

The icy chill spread rapidly from her right leg, where she had been grazed, and within moments it had spread throughout her entire body.

"Bang!!"

While everyone was still somewhat taken aback, and even looking at each other with a hint of admiration,

A large chunk of ice sculpture fell to the ground.

That's a pheromone!

Encased in ice, she resembled an insect frozen in amber, showing absolutely no sign of struggling.

Only a sacred beauty of eternal life remains.

"Absolute zero is still very useful!"

Looking at the Pheromosa mantis in the ice sculpture, Mu Yun sighed inwardly.

That's right, what Bingbing just used was one of the ice-type ultimate moves - Absolute Zero!

A terrifying move that is said to instantly kill and defeat anyone who gets hit by it.

Of course, absolute zero techniques in the real world are not as invincible as they were in the game in my previous life.

Even a level 1 Pokémon can instantly kill a level 100 legendary Pokémon.

However, even if Absolute Zero doesn't have that kind of rule-based instant kill effect, its power is still unmatched by any ice-type move.

..............................

[Absolute Zero: An Ice-attribute special attack move that releases a slow-moving, small-range beam of ice mist. Any creature that comes into contact with the beam will immediately freeze and rapidly lose all of its HP and energy. The efficiency of this effect depends on the difference in strength between the two parties.]

..............................

Being touched by the beam of light will instantly freeze you and rapidly deplete your stamina and energy.

This is just normal absolute zero.

Thanks to Bingbing's efforts, her proficiency with absolute zero has long been at an extremely high level, and naturally, she also benefits from many highly effective modifiers.

..............................

[Absolute Zero (Limit Break +4, 0/5000): Move coverage +200%, move freeze effect +200%, after the freeze effect is triggered, it will apply a synchronized chilling effect to the soul, and the power of all the user's ice-attribute moves will be increased by 50%.]

..............................

The attack range and freezing effect are self-explanatory; the former increases the probability of the attack hitting, while the latter strengthens the freezing effect and incidentally speeds up the depletion of stamina and energy.

As for this cold effect...

It is a kind of anesthetic ability that can quickly put a frozen person into a state that looks like a "coma", making them unable to escape.

This is why the pheromone fell to the ground without even struggling.

..............................

[Ding! Alolan Ninetales (56) defeated Pheromosa (65). Permanent Quest 1: Battle Completed. The opponent's level is significantly higher than yours. Congratulations, host! You have gained 65 points. Alolan Ninetales' growth level has received a moderate boost!]

..............................

[Ding! The target has been detected as the objective of Short-Term Mission 18: National Pokémon High School Tournament. You have received an additional 650 points and a moderate increase in your growth level!]

..............................

[Ding! After continuous efforts, the Alola Ninetales' growth level has increased. Current level: 57!]

..............................

After about four or five seconds, the system notification sounded in Mu Yun's mind.

Clearly, even with Pheromosa's massive stamina bar, which far surpasses that of other Pokémon of the same level, it wouldn't last more than five seconds at absolute zero.

"Bingbing, remove it for her."

If we don't remove the Absolute Zero effect from Pheromosa, we'll probably see a Pheromosa completely turned into an ice sculpture in a little while.

"Ee~~"

The ice and snow temporarily subsided. At Mu Yun's reminder, the staff immediately stepped forward. After confirming that the Pheromosa was unable to fight, the referee immediately made the announcement.

"Pheromosa is unable to battle. Please switch to another Pokémon!"

"Feifei lost?"

Liu Yuyang seemed still immersed in the fluttering dance of the pheromones and hadn't quite recovered from it.

Only after the Pheromosa, with its eyes closed, was carried away by the medical staff did he feel as if he had just returned from a dream, and with a sorrowful expression, he threw out the second Poké Ball.

That was his ace Pokémon, Buzzwole, which he used in the battle against Southwest University!

..............................

[Pokémon: Buzzwole]

Gender: None

[Type: Bug + Fighting]

[Level: 60 (Gym Level)]

【Trait: Beast Boost (Defeating an opponent will boost your highest-ranking ability)】

[Potential: King-level]

[Racial stats: 570]

Special Bonus: 1. Crown Prince (First Generation, Double): Energy quality increased by 20%, meaning the power of all moves is increased by 20%.

2. Ultra Beasts: Pokémon born in a special space called the Ultra Cave will receive a blessing from the Mother Cave, increasing their energy quality by 20%, which means all their moves are 20% more powerful, their highest ability level is increased by 1, and all non-divine damage they receive is reduced by 10%.

3. Hormone excess: Excess hormones bring about a super-strong immune effect against negative states, preventing one from falling into the four negative states of confusion, sleep, withdrawal, and paralysis.

..............................

Compared to Pheromosa, Bulbous's stats look much more meager.

Clearly, that Pheromosa was a very strong individual even among all the Ultra Beasts.

"Bingbing, I'm leaving her to you."

"Eee~~!"

I have some things to do during the day tomorrow, but I'll try my best to update as usual, though it might be a little later in the evening.

By the way, I'd like to ask for some free little gifts~~
