Chapter 328 The Power of Two Gods, Aerial Explosion, Wings of Return to Heaven!
After receiving Lorelei's command, Slowbro used its hands to support itself as it stood up from the ground. Even though it was covered in wounds, its movements didn't seem to slow down much. It was unclear whether this was due to Trick Room or Slowbro's strong willpower.
After the Slowbro stood up, icy blue energy condensed in front of it in the blink of an eye, and the rain falling around it gradually turned into hail in the extremely cold energy!
The powerful force of ice has even affected the weather!
"Lugia, use Storm Defense!" Ash's expression also became more serious. Although Ice-type moves are not Slowbro's STAB moves, the speed and power they displayed were in no way inferior to its Water-type moves, provided that the Water-type moves were not amplified by rain.
Even so, this is enough to demonstrate Lorelei's training of Slowbro. Being able to achieve the effect of a Type-A move with a non-Type-A move is something only a very few trainers can do, and it also requires the Pokémon itself to have a sufficient sensitivity to the other move.
For example, Slowbro is a Water-type, so it's also more comfortable using the Ice-type, which is why it has reached its current level.
The icy blue aurora rushed straight toward Lugia, who, starting with zero frames, instantly created a swirling storm around himself.
The gray storm formed a solid barrier, swirling and howling with rain and hail. The wind speed on the field suddenly soared, and the falling hail turned into ice crystal powder the moment it touched the storm.
The icy blue, frozen rays of light swept through the storm with unstoppable force, and the moment they collided with the storm, a bone-chilling cold spread wildly!
The swirling airflow was instantly frozen, and layers of crystalline ice crystals condensed at the edge of the storm. The originally raging gray wind wall was frozen solid, forming a peculiar barrier where ice and wind intertwined.
The accumulated water and mud on the ground froze into a smooth layer of ice, which stretched for several meters. Hailstones bounced on the ice, making a crisp sound as they struck.
The original rainy day has completely turned into a hail day under the influence of the freezing light, and even the air seems to be trembling slightly from the cold.
Flying-type power is naturally completely countered by Ice-type power. In addition, Slowbro's proficiency with Ice-type power and its level difference of one level over Lugia should have made this Ice Beam a formidable force.
But now it was blocked by the storm skill. Even though the storm was frozen, the freezing power still did not harm Lugia in the slightest.
Both the original Lugia and the current Lugia possess the Flying-type attribute. In fact, because Yveltal also has Flying-type powers, the current Lugia's control over the Flying-type attribute even surpasses its own Dark-type!
Even when his level was lower than the opponent's, he was able to withstand the Ice Beam that countered him by relying on his physical strength and control over Flying-type powers.
"The legend is truly well-deserved! They actually withstood the Ice Beam using the power of the Flying type. Ash and the others are truly amazing! So, what's next? Slowbro, use Blizzard!"
Lugia's defensive stance and Ash's trusting response prompted Lorelei to exclaim in admiration, "They truly are a pair who dare to speak their minds and a pair who dare to act!"
However, while it can block freezing rays, it may not be able to block blizzards!
Blizzard is a more powerful move than Ice Beam, and rain actually amplifies its power.
With Slowbro's current strength, the blizzard will surely freeze the rain into frost. The frost mixed in with the blizzard will allow it to unleash even more terrifying power!
"Dumb." Dumb Beast tilted its head, a glint of light shining in its eyes. Then, a chilling wind swept across the arena, and in less than a second, countless frosts and snowflakes appeared in the wind, and the temperature in the arena dropped to freezing point.
"Lugia, Aerial Blast!!" Ash coldly commanded as he watched the arena gradually turn into a frozen wasteland.
Aerial Blast, Lugia's signature move, allows him to manipulate the air currents between heaven and earth with his unique power, creating explosive air current attacks. When his strength is sufficient, he can even tear space apart!
A large black bird floated in the air, its wings, which resembled giant hands, suddenly flapped, and a terrifying airflow instantly gathered in front of Lugia, then exploded out like a nuclear bomb!
In an instant, the entire space seemed to shatter, emitting wave after wave of booming and roaring!
Two terrifying storms collided in the air. One was a cyclone explosion created by manipulating pure wind power, while the other was a blizzard created by ice and snow power, leaning more towards ice attribute power.
The moment their forces collided, a deafening roar filled the arena, and the sound of the wind tearing through the air echoed continuously!
Two terrifying storms collided repeatedly in the air, and the black air currents that exploded in the air intertwined and entangled with the icy blue snow curtain of the blizzard. The deafening roar almost lifted the dome of the stadium!
The black cyclone spun wildly, trying to tear apart the frost-laden wind and snow. Countless ice crystals were shredded by the airflow, turning into a sky full of ice mist. The blizzard was not to be outdone, and the biting cold spread along the airflow, constantly freezing the edges of the cyclone and causing layers of ice shells to condense on the black wind pillars.
The already thick ice on the field was cracked by the shockwaves of the two forces, and then instantly filled with new frost. The spectators outside the field were not affected at all, but the entire field was about to be torn apart by the collision of the two forces!
Mewtwo's shield doesn't cover the ground of the arena, and the ground is currently being constantly frozen and torn apart by the storm.
Ash clenched his fists, watching the two forces locked in a stalemate in mid-air. Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead. It wasn't just Lugia fighting on the field now; he was with Lugia. The rapidly depleting power within him clearly told him that the situation was not looking good.
The power of the aerial explosion had been exhausted, but the blizzard showed no signs of abating. The moisture from the rain continued to replenish the snow and ice, making the snow curtain thicker and thicker.
The standoff lasted only a few seconds before the black cyclone began to slow down, and the blizzard took the opportunity to absorb the surrounding water and expand rapidly!
The power of restraint ultimately triumphed over divine skill. The icy blue snow curtain successfully suppressed the sharpness of the cyclone explosion, and the black airflow was forcibly compressed and frozen by the ice and snow, finally shattering with a "crack".
The lingering snow and residual cold swept towards Lugia, causing a thin layer of ice to form on the edges of its wings, making its flapping movements sluggish.
The area was completely covered by ice and snow, the ice layer was several inches thick, and the air was so frozen that you could almost hear it cracking.
Following the fire created by the Charizard, the area has now turned completely white, becoming a snowfield!
"Wow—it actually overwhelmed Lugia's signature move! Is this the true power of Elite Four member Lorelei?! It's unbelievable!! A Water-type Slowbro unleashing such a terrifying Ice-type move! No matter what type of Pokémon it is, it becomes an Ice-wielding master in Lorelei's hands. This is the power of the best human trainers!" Host Alan shouted excitedly.
The surrounding audience was in an uproar. The situation of this battle was really turning around and around. They thought that Slowbro was seriously injured and about to lose its ability to fight, but now it has turned the tables and broken Lugia's exclusive move!
The power of a divine technique cannot be described or compared in terms of mere power. Kona actually managed to break through the divine technique in a head-on confrontation. This is not just a victory in a clash of techniques, but a great victory that greatly boosts morale!
Even the composed Lorelei couldn't help but smile with delight when she saw Slowbro break through the opponent's Aerial Blast.
Even the skills of gods are not invincible!
If humans train elves to the extreme, they may not be inferior to the power of gods. The current scene is the best example!
The power that Charizard previously displayed belonged to Ho-Oh, which far exceeded the upper limit of the abilities of an ordinary Pokémon.
Normally, even with Ash's Aura power, Charizard wouldn't be able to battle against opponents of so many levels. If Charizard were at the Elite or Professional level, it might be able to barely overcome a higher level with Ash's Aura power, but once it reaches the Elite Four or Champion level, it would be absolutely impossible for it to overcome a higher level with Ash's power.
Think about it, and you'll understand. Others level up steadily and surely, while you only managed to reach the same level as your opponent by relying on external forces. So why do you think you can match their strength? Is it because your stats were S before you leveled up?
At lower levels, S-rank stats can still be useful as your rank increases, allowing forcibly boosted power to keep pace with a steadily improved opponent's strength. However, at the Heavenly King level and later the Champion level, expecting to match your opponent with S-rank stats is simply wishful thinking.
The reason Charizard was able to fight a battle of a higher level, suppressing the Champion-level Cloyster with the strength of a beginner Elite Four member, is not only because of Ash's power and the maximum value of his stats, but also because of Mega Evolution and the divine power he possesses—Ho-Oh's Flame!
When high-level power is applied to low-level battles, even a small amount of power can play a crucial role. Therefore, when Charizard is still at a low level, it is basically invincible with the power of its holy flames.
Even after receiving a boost from Ash's Aura, it can still unleash power beyond that level; this is divine power.
However, once you reach the champion level, as you get closer and closer to the level of a god, the power of the god will have less and less effect. The process of an ordinary Pokémon increasing its power is actually the process of getting closer to a god.
Charizard can no longer be invincible among champions by relying solely on the power of Holy Flame. Before Mega Evolution, it was also overwhelmed by Cloyster, even after using Holy Flame.
It was only after Mega Evolution that the Champion was able to overwhelm Cloyster with its enhanced flames and advanced level, which is enough to show that the Champion's power has actually reached a level that threatens even the gods.
Now, Slowbro has directly broken through the god's exclusive skill, making people realize that the power of the gods is not invincible. Humans, through their own efforts and training, can also make their Pokémon powerful.
Approaching, or even surpassing, God!
"Slowbro, freeze it!!" Lorelei pressed her advantage. In Trick Room, Slowbro still maintained absolute dominance. Although Lugia had reduced its stamina considerably, for a Champion-level Pokémon, even with only a sliver of strength left, it could still launch a full-scale attack.
Unlike other Pokémon, its attack, speed, and other attributes will not decrease as its stamina weakens.
The blizzard, which had already weakened, began to gather again, and Slowbro was about to launch a second attack. Moreover, Slowbro's attack speed had already undergone a qualitative change under Trick Room, and Lugia was still in a frozen and stunned state.
If it tries to muster its strength to counterattack, it will inevitably fall further behind Slowbro; this is a classic case of being one step behind and falling further behind.
We got it!!
Just as Kona was feeling a little excited, Lugia suddenly unleashed an extremely terrifying power. The dark power turned the entire area black, and the frost on his body was shattered by this dark energy!
The rain falling from the sky was directly annihilated by the dark energy rising from Lugia's body. Even the already weak dark clouds in the sky were blown away with a roar, and the rainy day ended without any warning.
Before Lorelei could be shocked, a transparent, square space appeared on the entire field. This spatial barrier was not Mewtwo's protective shield, but rather Slowbro's Trick Space.
Although the time limit for Trick Room was almost up, Slowbro still had enough time to use two or three more moves. However, Trick Room appeared without warning, which gave Lorelei a bad feeling.
"Screech!!!" A piercing sound rang out from Lugia's mouth, and rings of dark energy spread from his body. The aura of death spread across the field. Wherever the energy touched, whether it was hail, snow, or even the Trick Space, it melted away in an instant, as if it had never existed.
"What kind of move is that?!" Even the experienced Kona couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at the scene.
She was once again stumped by the unknown. She was so close to winning, but what kind of trouble would Ash cause again?
"This is Lugia's other power. Although it's also a Flying-type power, it also carries that destructive force. Go, Lugia, use Return Wings!!"
Wings of Return, the exclusive skill of Yveltal, the God of Death!
