Chapter 438: Intimidation is Everything!
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
Skill Swap. Just as the name implies, it swapped the abilities of the two Pokémon. The Psychic Surge ability, which was effectively spent after a single use, was given to Dragonite, while Tapu Lele obtained Dragonite's ability.
Multiscale.
When at full health, the damage received is reduced.
“…”
Lance's face remained as tranquil as ever. Opening with Extreme Speed was his standard formula. The fact that it was blocked meant his opponent's skill was just enough to make him open his eyes and fight.
“In that case, Dragonite, use Fire Punch!”
As he spoke, Dragonite’s fleshy dragon claws clenched into fists, erupting in a surge of violent flames. With a beat of its wings, it charged forward, fists ablaze.
“Tapu Lele, use Extrasensory!”
Tapu Lele waved its arms, and a powerful psychokinetic force spread out, enveloping the charging Dragonite. A faint blue light immediately covered Dragonite’s body, and its advance halted in mid-air, held static two meters away.
Just as it was about to exert its strength to break free, the surrounding pinkish-purple force field seemed to contain some kind of amplifying power. It suddenly increased the power of this Extrasensory by thirty percent, binding it firmly once more. This was the effect of Psychic Terrain, which greatly boosted the power of Psychic-type moves.
“Lele!!”
Following Tapu Lele’s sharp cry, it swung its arms down hard. Dragonite was instantly sent plummeting like a cannonball, striking the ground and triggering a terrifying explosion. Countless cracks and shattered stones spread across the arena floor.
“ROAR!!”
But in the next second, a mighty dragon's roar echoed from within the smoke and dust. After being slammed to the ground, Dragonite’s thick hind legs were planted firmly on the floor. Its body was in a low crouch, thigh muscles bulging; it had not fallen.
With a furious roar, it pushed off the ground, using the tremendous impact force to rebound violently, its body "swooshing" back into the sky. During its ascent, a flap of the small wings on its back boosted its charging speed to another level.
*Hiss…*
At this moment, the searing flames on Dragonite’s fists had not yet dissipated.
“Lele?”
Caught off guard, Tapu Lele was struck head-on by the rebounding Dragonite’s punch. Its body was sent flying back several meters, and the fine scales covering its surface shattered like glass, falling to the ground.
The Multiscale ability was gone.
“Lele…”
After tumbling several times in mid-air to disperse the force of the blow, Tapu Lele found the damage wasn't too high thanks to Multiscale's protection. Even so, its expression gradually grew solemn.
Unbelievable!
She had never seen anyone use her own psychic powers to rebound and charge. A feat like that required an incredibly powerful physique.
This giant dragon was stronger than any she had ever encountered!
The Masked Man was secretly astonished by this, but he quickly and decisively made a commanding gesture. "In that case, Tapu Lele, use Psyshock!!"
He had to get all the Psychic-type moves out while the terrain was still active.
“Lele!”
Tapu Lele floated and focused, instantly forming several stone-shaped masses of psychic energy before it. Boosted by the Psychic Terrain, their power swelled to the size of giant boulders. They were all then hurled toward their target with formidable strength!
“Block it.”
Dragonite understood. It raised both its dragon claws, clenched them into fists, and met the barrage of Psyshock head-on. Its fists flew like a tempest, creating continuous sonic booms as it shattered every single Psyshock projectile before it. The scene was utterly ferocious.
“ROAR!!”
With the final punch, all the energy was pulverized, causing a cloud of energy-laced smoke to erupt around Dragonite’s body.
Seeing this, the Masked Man was overjoyed and roared, “A great chance! Now, use Nature's Madness!!”
“Lele!”
Using the cover of smoke, Tapu Lele had already slipped near Dragonite unnoticed. Its entire body now glowed with a pink light, its energy raised to the ultimate state. Finally, all of it converged as it struck straight down.
“BOOM!!”
A violent explosion, as terrifying as a clap of thunder, resounded through the battle arena. The entire arena floor below disintegrated and cracked apart, layer by layer. The pink light cluster spread out in ripples of energy, dancing wildly through the air. The entire arena was filled with a thick Fairy-type aura.
The storm of Fairy energy blinded the spectators, but on his side of the arena, Lance stood motionless, his eyes fixed intently ahead, letting the fierce winds whip his cloak.
The smoke and dust settled.
The entire battle arena was in pieces, completely destroyed—a testament to the terrifying power of Tapu Lele, a Legendary Pokémon.
“Roar…”
Dragonite’s figure reappeared, standing amidst the ruins. However, its health seemed to have been greatly depleted, its aura no longer as vigorous as when it first appeared.
“Well done! Nature's Madness worked!”
The Masked Man was ecstatic.
Nature's Madness was the signature move of the four Island Guardian Deities of the Alola Region. It unleashed the user’s full Fairy energy in an attack that was guaranteed to cut the target’s health in half. Similar to Fissure and Sheer Cold, this was also a rule-based move. As long as the disparity in strength between the two combatants wasn't too vast, its effect would activate.
Lance's Dragonite was strong, but not to the point where it could ignore a move from a Legendary Pokémon. At this moment, it had only half its health remaining.
“Oh, so this is one of the deities of the Alola Region. Your power is indeed impressive.”
At that moment, Lance spoke softly, his voice filled with praise.
His placid tone made the Masked Man a little confused. It was clearly his opponent who was at a clear disadvantage, yet he remained so calm.
But he quickly stopped overthinking it. *It's just a bluff. Today, I will definitely win!*
Seeing the light of the Psychic Terrain around them gradually fading, he immediately raised a hand and pointed. “Finish it in one go! Use Moonblast!!”
The Fairy type is super-effective against the Dragon type. This Fairy-type signature move from Tapu Lele had slaughtered countless giant dragons.
“Lele!”
She raised her arms where she stood. Her body once again lit up with a dense pink light cluster, and the energy left her body, gradually condensing above her head into a pink energy sphere nearly a meter wide.
Energy swirled within, its immense power visible to the naked eye. It was hard to imagine that this girlish-looking Pokémon could unleash such strength.
Just as everyone was staring, transfixed, at the pink energy sphere in the sky, a dragon's cry suddenly thundered through the entire venue.
“ROOOOARRR!!”
Down below, the Dragonite had opened its dragon mouth. A vast and majestic dragon's roar spread out from within, soaring straight to the sky. For a moment, it felt as if even the air itself had been frozen solid by that roar.
In the next instant, a terrifying, murderous aura permeated the entire venue. Even the air turned as cold and sharp as a knife.
And as for Dragonite, the source of it all, its imposing might was now like that of a lofty demon god—so domineering that it made one want to kneel and worship, extinguishing any thought of resistance or blasphemy.
Even Tapu Lele, the dragon slayer, momentarily forgot to continue charging its attack, hovering stunned in mid-air.
“A bit interesting… Is this your path to the ultimate state?”
In the audience stands, two eyes suddenly popped out from the red-and-white hat on Pikachu's head. The voice carried a hint of surprise.
It was flashy, but Red recognized it in an instant. This was the Ultimate Realm.
If one had to use a word to describe Lance's path to the ultimate state…
Ultimate Intimidation!
“Roar…”
In the battle arena, Dragonite, having stepped into the Ultimate Realm, was now surrounded by a roiling imposing might that had become a tangible, cyan, mist-like flame, shrouding its body and making it seem peerless.
That’s right. Lance didn't need the ultimate state of physical strength, nor some ultimate speed, because his path was singular.
He used one hand to sweep back the hair falling over his forehead. His palm seemed to have its own hair gel, as his fiery red hair was fixed firmly in place. Only then did he utter a single, understated sentence.
“Intimidation is everything.”
