Chapter 434: Battle of the Legendary Pokémon
With a command from Mr. Blue Suit, the black shadow began to wriggle and transform.
It was a Pokémon with flowing white hair that covered most of its face, revealing only a pair of bright blue eyes. A red, jagged object resembling a collar surrounded its neck, and long, tattered black cloth hung from each shoulder. It had black claw-like hands with three claws.
"This is... Darkrai?"
Faisal and Koga Hayato's eyes widened in disbelief.
This mysterious person had actually taken Darkrai under his command? This was the Pitch-Black Pokémon, the Nightmare God!
It must be known that although Registeel was the guardian of the Saudi Alliance, it simply wanted to protect the Holy Land, not fight for the interests of the Saudi Alliance.
"Also, what did he mean by 'main target'? Could his target not be me, but Registeel?" Koga Hayato raised his gaze.
To be fair, if the target were truly him, there would be no need to send out the Nightmare God Darkrai. Otherwise, with Darkrai's strength, plus Arcanine, Urshifu, and the other Pokémon, he and Faisal would have been defeated long ago. This also explained why the mysterious man in the blue suit had been watching from afar without taking action.
Thinking of this, Koga Hayato's tense nerves relaxed.
Conversely, Faisal's heart leaped into his throat. Because if anything happened to the Guardian God Registeel, the Saudi Alliance would be in precarious straits! Registeel was the stabilizing force of the Saudi Alliance.
Darkrai's body drifted and dashed through the air. The black claws in its hands suddenly extended, and an evil, terrifying power surged, instantly transforming into a black ring of light attacking Registeel.
Although Registeel floated in mid-air using Magnet Rise, its movements remained very clumsy, especially compared to the elusive Darkrai. Facing Dark Void, it was powerless to dodge.
However, being unable to dodge did not mean being unable to resist.
"Regi~steel~"
Metallic luster began to flash on Registeel's body. The light converged into an energy beam to meet the attack.
Steel-type move: Flash Cannon!
The essence of Steel and Dark energies collided in the air, but there was no expected explosion. Instead, the two forces melted and countered each other. Finally, the black Dark-type energy was exhausted, and the Steel-type energy prevailed. The Flash Cannon beam attacked Darkrai.
But Darkrai was too fast. With just a flash, it easily dodged the Flash Cannon, like a ghost in the night sky.
Meanwhile, the battle between the signature Pokémon of the five major alliances and Faisal and Koga Hayato also stopped, quietly watching the main battlefield in the sky.
"Dark Pulse!"
Since tricks failed, Mr. Blue Suit prepared for a brute-force attack.
Evil power surged from Darkrai, transforming into various attacks, immense in power but minimal in commotion. The Nightmare God Darkrai was like an elegant reaper dancing around you while swinging its scythe!
"Regi~steel~"
Conversely, Registeel was like a fierce warrior, preferring to subdue others with force. If it was too late to block with Flash Cannon, it used Metal Claw to swat away Darkrai's attacks. Even if the Dark-type essence hit its body, it was completely fearless. Because its body was the strongest shield in the world.
Dark Pulse, Snarl, Disable, Throat Chop—Darkrai used frequent moves but couldn't do anything to Registeel.
"It seems in terms of strength, the Guardian God is stronger!" Faisal looked delighted.
Registeel's greatest pride was its body, harder than any metal; defense was its forte. If Darkrai couldn't break Registeel's defense, the outcome was predetermined.
"Truly worthy of an old fellow who has lived for nearly a thousand years; its strength is indeed formidable." Mr. Blue Suit snorted coldly.
This Registeel's strength was comparable to the main Pokémon of the Elite Four of the five major alliances. His Darkrai was ultimately a bit lacking in foundation.
Fortunately, he wasn't fighting alone.
"Malamar, notify Tyranitar to enter the field!" Mr. Blue Suit snapped his fingers.
Because he had anticipated this outcome long ago. Although the signature Pokémon of the five major alliances on the field were at the peak of Master-level, they were powerless and dared not casually participate in a Heavenly King-level battle.
But the Desert Tyrant he borrowed from China was the main Pokémon of a former Chinese Rock-type Heavenly King—a proper Heavenly King-level powerhouse.
"Raaahr~"
A roar rang out, deafening, audible to people and Pokémon for tens of kilometers around.
Accompanied by the roar, the surrounding sandstorm prison began to thin. Countless grains of sand surged toward Registeel, finally transforming into chains of sand, locking onto Registeel's body.
"Regi~steel~"
Under the effect of the sand chains, Registeel began to land, smashing a huge crater into the ground.
But Registeel was too strong. Its limbs exerted force, and the sand chains instantly snapped like paper. Moreover, as its body flashed with metallic light, wherever the light reached, the sand turned directly into dust and vanished.
Seeing this, Tyranitar was also enraged. It no longer hid its figure, roaring as it walked out of the sandstorm.
Tyranitar waved its large hand, and sharp rock projectiles, meters in diameter like bridge pilings, shot out rapidly. At the same time, Tyranitar opened its mouth like Godzilla using atomic breath, and evil black power swept out.
Facing Tyranitar's powerful attack, the red dots on Registeel's hands and face began to flash incessantly, crossing its arms in front of its chest.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Stone Edge hit Registeel's body, knocking it back repeatedly, but leaving not even a scratch on it. Before long, Dark Pulse hit again, still failing to leave any trace.
Seeing this, Tyranitar misfired! This defense... simply impenetrable!
Although uninjured, after being bombarded twice in a row, Registeel was also annoyed. Electromagnetic force appeared under its feet again, lifting it to pounce out, straight at Tyranitar.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Two giant beasts began a flesh-to-flesh offense, the collision sounds shaking the earth, airwaves sweeping through.
Brutal Swing VS Metal Claw!
In terms of strength, Tyranitar was obviously much stronger than Registeel, once suppressing the latter with bombardment. But in terms of defense, Registeel crushed Tyranitar. Even though suppressed and beaten, Registeel only had dust on its body, no scars. Conversely, Tyranitar, who had the upper hand, had its rock armor shattered piece by piece, covered in cracks.
"Raaahr~ Raaahr~"
Tyranitar was furious. If its trainer hadn't left too early, it would definitely have completed Mega Evolution by now. In that case, its Attack and Defense would have skyrocketed. Breaking Registeel's turtle shell wouldn't be impossible.
"So strong!"
Watching from the side, Koga Hayato's eyes lit up. This was the might of a Legendary Pokémon! If their Japanese Alliance had a Legendary Pokémon, given time, why fear the Chinese and Russian Alliances? Why act as a dog for the US Alliance?
"One day, my Yamato people will no longer live at others' mercy!" Koga Hayato clenched his fists silently, vowing inwardly.
As for Faisal beside him, he was grinning from ear to ear. Truly worthy of the Guardian God of the Saudi Alliance, truly too strong!
But just then, the evil aura in mid-air began to skyrocket.
Faisal looked up and his expression changed drastically, exclaiming in fear, "This Darkrai can still buff itself?"
Buffing moves were secret techniques for victory in the eyes of ordinary trainers, but for top-tier powerhouses, they were tasteless. Because top-tier powerhouses' Pokémon often had tapped into their own power to an extremely high level, needing no buffing moves to excavate and stimulate it further. So the higher the level of battle, the fewer buffing moves used. Top-tier powerhouses competed with hard power!
Who would have thought this Darkrai hadn't reached the limit of excavating its own power?
Dark evil waves shot out from Darkrai's claws. Simultaneously, Tyranitar on the ground sensed it and immediately punched Registeel in the face, knocking it back.
Just then, Dark Pulse descended!
Boom!
The evil essential power exploded on Registeel. The terrifying power even affected Tyranitar.
This hit, even Registeel couldn't ignore. Its body paused as if frozen, and a small gap, about the size of a palm, appeared on its shoulder.
"Registeel!"
Faisal was shocked. The Guardian God was the stabilizing force of their Saudi Alliance; nothing must happen to it!
"Damn it, why hasn't Jafar arrived yet?" Faisal cursed inwardly.
Jafar was the Champion of their Saudi Alliance. In terms of strength, he was obviously inferior to Tyranitar, Darkrai, and Registeel, but not by far. If he were here to share the fire, Registeel wouldn't be attacked from both sides.
Beep beep beep...
But soon, as the red dots on Registeel's face began to flash, it finally resumed movement, fists swinging again, majestic.
"Raaahr?"
Tyranitar's eyes widened. Still not injured?
Mr. Blue Suit felt the same as Tyranitar. He looked at Registeel for a long time, finally sighing, "Retreat!"
Hearing this, among the signature Pokémon of the five major alliances, Braviary and Klinklang retreated directly, soon disappearing into the sandstorm. As for the remaining Pokémon, including Tyranitar, Mr. Blue Suit recalled them directly into Pokéballs.
Then, Darkrai engaged Registeel in a tangle, allowing Mr. Blue Suit to leave during the gap. Finally, Darkrai abandoned Registeel and drifted away, and the sandstorm prison vanished.
Helplessly, Registeel had short legs and couldn't catch up at all.
Seeing this, Faisal didn't pursue either. Instead, feeling heroic, he laughed loudly: "Master Koga, is the strength of our Saudi Alliance's Guardian God worthy of your eyes? Compared to your father's Greninja in its prime, how does it compare? Who is stronger and who is weaker?"
But unexpectedly, Koga Hayato didn't answer him.
"Hm? Master Koga?"
Faisal turned his head in confusion, looking at Koga Hayato not far away. He saw Koga Hayato, dressed in black hakama, standing motionless with eyes slightly closed, as if in deep thought. The Honchkrow guarding Koga Hayato was the same.
"Master Koga!"
Faisal stepped forward and pushed gently. Koga Hayato immediately fell to the ground stiffly like a log, devoid of breath.
