Ding, Legendary Essence has been used successfully!
As the system's notification rang out, Ash's aura changed.
A phantom of a sleek, blue-purple, technologically-styled serpentine dragon Pokémon appeared behind him. Its eyebrows, like living lightning, continuously vibrated and floated. The arc-shaped pattern on its chest resembled a tire.
Two slender yet powerful claws swung casually, emitting a soul-stirring aura.
The surrounding space was now filled with terrifying lightning. The power of this Electric Terrain had already surpassed that of a normal Discharge!
Ash felt that the Poké Ball could no longer contain Pikachu's overflowing power. He immediately used Teleport to appear in front of the two Guzzlords.
"Go, Pikachu, Electro Drift!"
The Poké Ball burst open, and Pikachu's appearance had changed.
Under the perception of Ash's psychic power, the electricity within Pikachu's body was continuously gathering, swirling, intertwining, and sublimating near its electric sacs!
It was as if a constantly running precision machine was endlessly increasing the power of the energy within its body.
"Pika—!"
A tingling sensation instantly spread to every corner of the area. Even Lusamine and the others on the high cliff felt the electricity in the air.
In the Electric Terrain, Pikachu transformed into a brilliant flash of lightning. In the next instant, thick bolts of lightning struck the two Guzzlords.
However, this was only the beginning. The electric flashes, moving at an imperceptible speed, weaved throughout the entire field. Golden light and shadows instantly formed a cage of lightning, trapping the two giant beasts.
The light seemed to be free, constantly impacting the cage at an incredibly high frequency.
"Pika!"
"Rumble—"
Accompanied by a thick bolt of lightning descending from the sky, Pikachu finally released the last of this terrifying, god-tier move.
The brilliant golden light instantly illuminated the world and shocked everyone present.
The field, which had already been completely devoured, was now corroded by countless bolts of lightning. When the smoke cleared, a huge, deep pit had appeared in the field. In the center of the pit, the two Guzzlords were on their last legs.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the cloaked figure floating in mid-air. Surprise, emotion, shock, disbelief, reverence, and even adoration filled their hearts.
To prevent people from suspecting his identity, he had already recalled Pikachu.
His eyes were still fixed on the Guzzlords in the pit.
The black one had already fainted, but the white one still had some fighting power.
"Professor!" Ash shouted.
Oak nodded: "Arcanine, use Play Rough with maximum power!"
Arcanine, which had been waiting for a long time, rushed over with Extreme Speed. Surrounded by Fairy-type energy, it began to bite and tear at Guzzlord.
A moment later, the heavily scarred Arcanine jumped back, but Ash was still frowning.
Because he hadn't received a notification that the system mission was successful!
"Guzzlord!" A roar came from the deep pit. The unease in Ash's heart deepened.
"It seems to be trying to devour the other one! Stop it now!" Burnet shouted.
On her computer's map, one of them had already lost half its body! And the aura of the other one was rapidly rising!
When the smoke cleared, the white Guzzlord had completely devoured its companion!
Ash used Teleport to get directly above it. There was no sadness or joy in his eyes, only a hint of regret.
Guzzlord obviously recognized the human who had just critically injured it, but it was now a completely different beast!
Guzzlord Lv80 Shiny Pseudo-Legendary
That's right, after devouring the other one, it had reached a new level! A level close to a Legendary!
Of course, even so, it was still in a heavily injured state and desperately needed to devour things to replenish its body's energy!
And the first target it wanted to eat was this human who had almost killed it!
"Guzzlord!" A terrifying aura slowly rose. Dark energy gathered within its body.
Guzzlord seemed to be brewing a killer move!
"Get out of there!" Lorelei immediately ordered her two remaining Pokémon to attack. Professor Oak also ordered Dragonite and Charizard to provide support.
But Ash's figure remained tall and straight, like a sword deeply embedded in space. He stood still in the face of the overwhelming pressure.
For a moment, it seemed as if the only thing left in the world was the figure in the sky.
"He's so handsome..." Green looked at the figure through the camera from a distance, feeling a little mesmerized.
"A solitary... warrior..." Lusamine's golden eye was covered by her hair. She unconsciously whispered the name in her heart.
Burnet and Wicke were also watching. Lorelei, who was the closest, felt it the most. It was very difficult to withstand that kind of monstrous aura. The resolute figure was deeply imprinted in her heart.
Inside Ash's body, his psychic power and life force swirled and condensed, continuously resisting the opponent's shockwave. At the same time, his mind gave the order:
Ding, using 1 Legendary Essence. The selected Legendary is Lugia. Move: Aeroblast! The target is Pidgeotto. Execute immediately!
There were many Flying-type moves to choose from, but for Pidgeotto's future development, the special attack move Aeroblast was the best choice. After all, Mega Pidgeot has a Special Attack stat of 135.
"Go, Pidgeotto, Aeroblast!!!"
In a flash of white light, Pidgeotto appeared in front of Ash, and the translucent phantom of Lugia, the Guardian of the Seas, emerged behind it.
At this moment, the wind and clouds surged. A series of terrifying air energy appeared in front of Pidgeotto, converging as it flapped its wings again and again.
The sky became dark once more. All the Pokémon that were coming to provide support stopped, and everyone's eyes unconsciously gathered on the phantom in front of Ash.
The majestic and sacred pure white wings stirred up a hurricane. In an instant, a blinding light was released, and a series of thick and terrifying air blades spun rapidly, heading toward Guzzlord!
Everyone felt as if the air had been sucked out, and they experienced a serious sense of suffocation.
And the move that Guzzlord had been brewing in its mouth was finally ready and burst out.
But unfortunately, under the high-speed swirling Aeroblast, the move it had spent all its energy to release was instantly disintegrated!
"Guzzlord—!"
The white light and the cyclone completely obscured its figure, leaving only a miserable cry of pain in the world.
Ding, temporary mission to defeat Guzzlord has been completed. A special condition has been met. Reward: 1 Mysterious Pokémon Egg! Additional reward: Ultra Ball blueprint!
Mysterious Pokémon Egg: Contains a lovely little Pokémon with top-tier potential. There are 30 days left until it hatches. Please look forward to it~
Ultra Ball Blueprint: By selecting the right materials and following the corresponding steps, you can create a special Poké Ball that can contain an Ultra Beast.
"Phew..." Upon receiving the system notification, Ash finally relaxed.
A feeling of weakness then came over him, and he fell toward the ground!
For him, withstanding the aura of a pseudo-legendary was still too difficult.
Ash had been supporting himself entirely with his willpower. Now that the battle was over and his mind relaxed, his consciousness began to blur.
At that moment, a graceful figure with flowing long hair emerged from the shadows.
A wave of psychic power steadied Ash's body and then infused his exhausted mind.
Ash's eyes were closed, and his lips curved into a smile: "You didn't leave after all."
"Hmph..."
The next moment, the psychic power holding Ash disappeared, and he fell heavily to the ground.
"Hiss... what a heartless woman."
Ash cursed as he got up. Sabrina had already disappeared.
It seemed she was only there to make sure he was okay.
