Elf: Seriously? You only get a cheat code when you're about to die?

Chapter 172 Phoenix King?

Upon hearing Loko's words, NiuLa hesitated for a moment before finally mustering the courage to walk towards Metagross.

"Sneasel~ Sneasel~" Sneasel called out twice to Metagross.

"Meta~Meta~"

Just as Loko had said, Metagross readily agreed to Sneasel's request.

Sneasel was extremely excited, but Babutubble was very unhappy. This copycat, everyone else was learning the Freeze Fist, so it wanted to learn the Freeze Fist too!

See, I'll definitely learn it first.

So, on their journey, the two Pokémon competed fiercely, each wanting to learn Ice Punch before the other.

Metagross's eyes crinkled with laughter at how diligent the two of them were; who doesn't like a hardworking student?

Anjie followed behind, watching the two Pokémon with a smile, listening to them humming and hawing as they practiced their punches.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Anjie and his companions gradually emerged from the fog. However, they had only taken a few steps out of the fog when a Dragonite blocked their path.

"quick!!!"

The Dragonite roared, which was undoubtedly a guard arranged by Mew. More importantly, this Dragonite's Eye of Observation could no longer see any data.

This means that Dragonite's level must be above 70.

As expected of a Pokémon from the vicinity of the Tree of Beginning, its strength is almost on par with some high-level Pokémon in the Zero District of the Padilla region.

"Metamorphose, is everything alright?" Angie asked Metagross with a serious expression.

Metagross's expression was equally solemn, but it still nodded slightly.

Metagross floated in front of Dragonite and confronted it.

As the battle signal sounded, Dragonite suddenly transformed into a white light and crashed into Metagross, catching Metagross off guard and sending it flying.

That's lightning fast!

This Dragonite in front of me even knows Extreme Speed.

Having taken an attack, Metagross immediately retaliated.

Just as Dragonite was about to press its advantage, it used Psychic, its eyes flashing with intense purple light, instantly suspending the charging Dragonite in mid-air.

boom!

With a loud bang, Dragonite was thrown out by Metagross, smashing a large rock nearby to pieces.

Dragonite's special ability is Multiscale, which reduces damage taken by half when its health is full.

Because Metagross's Psychic attack reduced its health, the Multiscale effect disappeared.

Metagross flew into the air, its fists flashing with icy coldness, and then crashed down on Dragonite below like a giant meteorite.

Metagross still uses Ice Punch, an Ice-type move that is four times super effective against Dragonite and Flying-type moves.

Of course, Dragonite wouldn't just sit there and take the beating. Red flames rose from its fist, and just as Metagross attacked, it threw a punch.

The Fire Punch and Ice Punch collided, and a surging shockwave rippled around Metagross and Dragonite. The impact created a gale, stirring up sand and gravel, causing Angel to instinctively cover his eyes with his sleeve.

"Babu~ Babu~"

"Nuira~ Nuira~"

Babubo and Sneasel were shouting wildly on the sidelines, cheering Metagross on. Babubo's voice was almost hoarse from shouting.

When Babu Tubo and Niula realized they were doing the same thing, they paused for a moment, then simultaneously snorted at each other.

After exchanging blows, Metagross and Dragonite simultaneously soared into the air, rapidly swinging their fists. Ice Punch and Fire Punch collided so fast they almost created afterimages. Explosions echoed continuously in the air.

For a moment, it was impossible to determine which of the two Pokémon was superior.

boom!

After another round of punches, the two Pokémon were thrown backward by the impact, panting heavily.

Clearly, the intense collision just now was extremely exhausting.

"Hurry!"

Suddenly, after a roar, Dragonite began to spin rapidly, using Dragon Dance to enhance itself.

Metagross, of course, wouldn't let this opportunity pass by, and immediately raised its Frozen Punch to smash it over.

Bang!

Dragonite had just finished its power-up when it was punched away by Metagross. Luckily, it reacted quickly and used its arms to protect its chest, thus avoiding full damage.

Even so, Dragonite's arms were frozen.

Dragonite's face showed a pained expression.

But it's okay, after Dragon Dance, its attack power and speed have increased, and it will definitely be able to defeat the opponent!

With that in mind, Dragonite first used Agility, then swung Fire Punch at Metagross.

However, what Dragonite didn't expect was that Metagross used self-suggestion at this moment, copying its ability changes. It not only copied the speed and attack boost from Dragon Dance, but also the speed boost from High Speed ​​Boost.

The moment Dragonite attacked, Metagross used its high-speed movement to quickly dodge.

Since Metagross's ability changes were already the same as Dragonite's, after Metagross used Agility again, its speed far exceeded that of Dragonite.

Dragonite's Fire Punch missed, and Metagross spun around in mid-air and used Ice Punch to smash Dragonite's back.

Dragonite let out a scream and crashed to the ground, creating a large crater.

Anjie originally thought that Dragonite would not be able to stand up after taking another Freeze Punch, but to his surprise, Dragonite was still conscious despite being covered in wounds.

Suddenly, it tilted its head back towards the sky and opened its mouth to spit out a beam of light.

The beam of light shot rapidly into the sky, and the next second, countless meteorites carrying flames rained down from the heavens.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Anjie shouted in his mind: "How much does Dream pay you? You're working so hard!"

Dragonite uses the Dragon-type special move, Meteor Shower.

Not only that, after unleashing Meteor Shower, Dragonite immediately used Outrage to launch itself into the sky and attack Metagross.

Upon seeing this, Metagross quickly dodged Dragonite's attack.

However, just as it dodged Dragonite's Outrage attack, it was hit by a meteorite falling from the sky.

With no other option, Metagross continued to use its high-speed movement to dodge both the meteor shower attacks and Dragonite's Outrage.

The meteor shower's attack range was so wide that Anjie and his group, who were outside the battlefield, were also affected.

Babu Tubo used his lightning fist to continuously bombard the meteorites that were hitting him, smashing them one by one.

Not to be outdone, Niatra used its metal claws to attack the meteorite that was hurtling towards it.

However, it is weaker than Babu Tubo, so it takes several consecutive attacks to shatter a meteorite.

Fortunately, it has a speed advantage, and even if it can't be broken, it can dodge in time, so it can barely handle the situation.

While dodging, Anjie quickly took out a waveguide glove and put it on, then tried to concentrate the waveguide into his fist and throw a punch.

Unexpectedly, after two consecutive punches, he actually shattered a meteorite.

Loke originally wanted to help Anjie, but after seeing this scene, she only needed to protect the sleeping tree-pillow koala.

After a while, the meteor shower ended.

Meanwhile, Dragonite also fell into a state of confusion due to the side effects of Outrage. It raised its fist and kept hitting its own face, and began to hurt itself.

Seeing this, Ange quickly said to Metagross, "Metamorphose, stop Dragonite!"

Metagross nodded, its eyes flashing with purple light as it attempted to control Dragonite with its mental powers.

"Hurry! Hurry!"

However, after a roar, Dragonite broke free from Metagross's psychic restraints.

That makes sense, since Metagross's special attack isn't as strong as its physical attack.

Just then, the tree-pillow koala rolled off Loko's fluffy tail and leaped high into the air.

To everyone's surprise, it reached out its little hand, grabbed Dragonite's tail, swung it around in the air, and slammed it to the ground.

It uses the Normal-type move, Slam.

Bang!

With a loud bang, Dragonite lay motionless in the pit, while Koala landed lightly and rolled back to Loke's side, continuing to snore, looking like a master who had kept his achievements hidden.

Of course, if you can ignore its snot bubbles.

Babu and Sneasel looked at the tree-pillow bear with adoration.

Anjie walked to Dragonite's side, took out a berry that could restore stamina and remove confusion, fed it to Dragonite, and applied medicine to its wounds. Before long, Dragonite opened its eyes.

"Huh?"

Dragonite looked at Ange and the others with a blank expression.

Anjie said, "Your injuries are mostly healed now, so don't push yourself so hard next time!"

"Woo~ woo~" Dragonite scratched the back of its head sheepishly and gave a silly smile.

What an adorable Pokémon.

"Dragonite, now that we've broken through your defenses, let's move on. Take care of yourself," Angel said.

Dragonite nodded, waving to Ange and the others as they left.

Once Anjie and the others had completely disappeared from sight, Dragonite soared into the sky and vanished into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

After saying goodbye to Dragonite, they walked for a short while before finally arriving at the foot of the Tree of Beginning and seeing its full appearance.

"Is this the Tree of Origin? How magnificent!" Loke couldn't help but exclaim.

Babu Tubo and Niula also looked up at the front, their eyes filled with shock.

"Let's go over there quickly," Anjie said.

"Hmm~"

Anjie and his group then rushed towards the Tree of Origin.

As they were about to reach their destination, their excitement was palpable.

However, just as they arrived at the Tree of Beginning, a roar suddenly came from the sky.

"Awoo~~"

Anjie and the others looked up and saw a huge fossil pterosaur hovering above them.

This fossil pterosaur has a fierce appearance, with sharp fangs in its mouth, claws that gleam coldly, and a long, powerful tail that makes a whistling sound as it swings. Its wingspan is a full five meters long.

Anjie looked up at the fossil pterosaur that was constantly roaring and couldn't help but think to himself:

besides?

boom!

A fossil pterosaur descended from the sky, its sharp claws crushing the rocks beneath its feet.

"Aww~~"

This guy is really fierce. As soon as he landed, he yelled at Anjie and the others, as if asking: Who of you is going to go?

Metagross originally wanted to go up, but Koala got there first.

In fact, Ange's intuition also told him that Metagross might not be a match for the fossil ape-like dragon in front of him, so it was indeed the best choice for the tree-pillow koala to take action.

The tree-pillow koala stood opposite the fossil pterosaur and silently confronted it for several tens of seconds.

The fossil pterosaur lowered its head, looking down at the little guy in front of it, exuding an aura of dominance.

However, the tree-pillow koala swayed back and forth, completely unaffected, as if the creature in front of it was just a green caterpillar.

Finally, the fossil pterosaur suddenly spread its wings and took off, launching the first attack on the tree-pillow koala. Rocks fell from the sky under its control.

This is a Rock-type move, Rock Slide!

The tree-pillow koala rolled quickly on the ground, easily dodging the attacks of the fossil pterosaur, appearing to be in complete control.

When the fossil pterosaur realized that rockfall was ineffective, it immediately prepared to switch to another skill, but the tree-pillow koala was able to keep taking hits passively.

Before the fossil pterosaur could launch its attack, it leaped high into the air, the tree pillow in its hand suddenly disappeared (it was put into the system inventory), and at the same time, two ice blades appeared in each of its hands.

One, two!

Two ice blades struck the pterosaur's forehead one after the other.

"Aww~~"

The fossil pterosaur's head was spinning from being chopped off.

The Tree Pillow Koala uses Ice-type moves that are effective against Aerodactyl, namely Ice Spin.

Meanwhile, Loke below looked puzzled. Where did the tree pillow of the tree-pillow bear go?

Before it could figure it out, the tree-pillow koala landed lightly, and the tree pillow was back in its arms.

Am I seeing things? Luo Ke shook her head vigorously.

The fossil pterosaur shook its head, enraged by the tree-pillow bear's attack. It immediately flapped its wings, and countless sharp rock spears appeared around its body, which it controlled to shoot at the tree-pillow bear.

This is the Rock-type move, Rock Slash.

Seeing this, the tree-pillow koala neither dodged nor avoided it, but opened its mouth and spat out a series of emerald green seeds, which flew towards the rock spear like bombs.

The Koala uses the Grass-type Seed Bomb.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

A series of explosions rang out in the air, producing thick smoke that obscured the images of the fossil pterosaur and the tree-pillow koala.

Without pausing, the tree-pillow koala leaped up again, using the smoke as cover to soar into the sky.

By the time the fossil pterosaur noticed, it had already rushed out of the smoke and arrived in front of the fossil pterosaur in an instant, raising the tree pillow in its hand high.

The tree pillow gleamed with a metallic sheen and slammed hard into the pterosaur's head.

Although Koala uses the Tree Pillow attack, its move is the Steel-type Iron Head.

Steel-type creatures are strong against Rock-type fossil pterosaurs.

With a loud bang, the fossil pterosaur crashed to the ground, creating a large crater.

However, the fossil pterosaur did not perish.

It climbed out of the pit, roared angrily at the tree-pillow koala that had just landed, and then stomped its feet on the ground.

A tremor ran through the earth, and cracks appeared on the ground, quickly spreading towards the tree-pillow koala.

The tree pillow koala remained unmoved, raising the tree pillow in its hand and slamming it violently into the ground.

Similarly, the earth trembled violently, and cracks rapidly spread toward the fossil pterosaur.

Both Pokémon used the Ground-type move Earthquake.

While Aerodactyl, a Flying-type Pokémon, is unaffected by Ground-type moves, Komaru can certainly use it to negate an opponent's attacks.

Sure enough, the two earthquakes collided and neutralized each other.

It was tough on Anjie and his friends. When the two earthquakes collided, the ground around them shook violently, almost causing them to fall to the ground. As a result, Anjie had to take Babu Tubo, Niula, and Loke and run away to a distance.

"Babu~ Babu~"

"Nuira~ Nuira~"

Even as Babu and Sneasel were running away, they didn't forget to cheer loudly for the tree pillow koala.

While the tree-pillow koala was battling the earthquake, the fossil pterosaur had already flapped its wings and returned to the sky.

At this moment, its gaze towards the tree-pillow koala was different from before; the previous condescending attitude was gone.

It had a premonition that the little guy below was stronger than itself.

However, it is currently carrying out the task that Dream gave it, so it will not back down.

"Awoo~~"

The fossil pterosaur let out a roar, and waves of sound materialized and rushed toward the tree-pillow tail bear.

Since a direct assault didn't work, the fossil pterosaur decided to use some tricks. The skill it used was ultrasonic waves, a skill that could confuse its opponent.

Unfortunately, Aerodactyl is a Pokémon that lives in the Kanto region and has never left the area of ​​the Tree of Beginning. Therefore, it does not recognize the Pokémon Komala and does not know that it has an ability called Absolute Sleep.

Absolute sleep is not affected by abnormal conditions.

Under normal circumstances, abnormal conditions cannot be superimposed. For example, poisoning will prevent paralysis, and burns will prevent freezing...

A Pokémon with absolute sleep is essentially in a permanent sleep state, so a confused state cannot be added to it.

Seeing that the tree-pillow koala was unaffected by the ultrasonic wave, the fossil pterosaur assumed it was because the attack missed, since ultrasonic waves are not a high-accuracy skill.

So the pterosaur roared again and continued to use its ultrasonic waves to interfere with the tree-pillow tail bear.

Unfortunately, it still didn't work.

When the third ultrasonic wave still failed to affect the tree-pillow koala, the fossil pterosaur finally realized that the other side must have some means to prevent confusion.

Without hesitation, it abandoned the use of ultrasound.

This time, the pterosaur used a terrifying face in an attempt to block the movement of the tree-pillow koala.

Suddenly, a giant ghost face appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the tree-pillow koala with a terrifying pressure.

Immediately afterwards, Aerodactyl unleashed its Normal-type ultimate move, Giga Impact, charging toward Komaru with unparalleled momentum.

The tree-pillow koala remained motionless, as if it were truly frightened by the terrifying face.

Seeing this, Anjie shouted worriedly, "A tree-pillow koala!"

Bang! ! !

With a loud bang, Aerodactyl crashed into Komamatsu, sending up a huge cloud of dust that obscured both Pokémon.

Suddenly, a panicked cry came from the smoke and dust.

Anjie: ()?

The smoke and dust quickly dissipated in a churning motion; it turned out that the wind generated by the flapping wings of the fossil pterosaur had dispersed them.

At this moment, the tip of the fossil pterosaur's tail was being tightly gripped by the tree-pillow koala, and no matter how much it struggled, it could not break free, which is why it was in such a panic.

The tree-pillow koala was slightly injured, but seemed to be fine.

Suddenly, the tree-pillow koala swung the fossil pterosaur's tail, spinning it around in the air before slamming it to the ground.

It's still a normal-type skill: slamming.

Not satisfied with just one fall from the tree, the bear swung the pterosaur's tail and lifted it up before slamming it to the ground again. Even Angie felt sorry for the pterosaur just watching.

And so it went, with the third, fourth, and fifth strikes.

After being thrown five times, the defenseless fossil pterosaur lost consciousness and lay motionless in the crater it had been hit in.

"唳~~~"

Before Ange could check on Aerodactyl, a cry suddenly rang out in the sky. A large bird Pokémon covered in gorgeous feathers flew over Ange and his friends and finally landed on the opposite rock, quietly watching them.

Ho-Oh?

Anjie was stunned.
