Chapter 516: Genesect in the Snow!
Chapter 516: Genesect in the Snow!
As Keldeo took the initiative and confidently marched at the front of the group, Jinghe couldn't help but smile.
His little Pokemon were now subtly influencing other Pokemon.
Keldeo's transformation was the best proof.
After the appearance of the geometric snowflakes, Ice Ninetales had become thoroughly familiar with the situation within the white mist and could now avoid some of the Ice-type Pokemon active in the fog.
With Keldeo leading the way, Jinghe and the others finally approached the "Giant Cavern" in the increasingly cold frost.
Through the haze, they could vaguely see some structures resembling mechanical buildings, many of which had already decayed but remained exceptionally sturdy due to being frozen.
"We're here," Keldeo announced, its voice trembling slightly.
Although Tyrogue, Azure Flame Blade Demon, and Jinghe had helped improve Keldeo's mental state, it wasn't an overnight transformation.
The fact that it could stand here, unlike in the movie where it turned and fled after arriving at the Giant Cavern with Satoshi and Pikan, was already a significant improvement.
However, now that they had reached this point, Jinghe needed to be extra cautious.
One wrong move could put him in grave danger.
"If necessary, we'll just ride Rapid Dragon and make a quick escape," Jinghe said.
If Tyrantrum hadn't been captured and their arrival provoked its rage, Rapid Dragon would have a chance to flee.
With Rapid Dragon's speed, combined with its Extreme Speed and the ability to activate the "Reverse Scale State" learned from Infernape, it would be incredibly fast.
Even for Jinghe, riding Rapid Dragon in that state and facing Tyrantrum was a more appealing option than confronting the dragon directly.
If Tyrantrum hadn't been captured and was in poor condition, there was no need to worry about it.
But if Tyrantrum was missing or, more accurately, had been captured by the Plasma Team, it was a different story.
"Regardless, let's rescue the three 'Saint Swordsmen' first," Jinghe said.
Hoopa, Diancie, and Kyurem were no ordinary combatants.
As for encountering the Plasma Team, without Tyrantrum, this was Ice Ninetales' domain!
"Snow," Jinghe whispered.
"Woof~"
Ice Ninetales' tail swayed gently, and crystalline ice pebbles fell like dust, causing white snowflakes to drift down from the sky.
The north wind howled, causing Ice Ninetales' fur to flutter, and the snowstorm gradually intensified.
Keldeo, sensing the change, looked at Ice Ninetales in surprise.
This ability...
It gave Keldeo a faint sense of facing Tyrantrum.
But upon closer inspection, there was still a noticeable difference.
Nevertheless, apart from Tyrantrum, this was the most powerful Ice-type Pokemon Keldeo had encountered thus far.
"Yo~ Yo~"
Tyrogue caught a falling snowflake with his hand and quickly popped it into his mouth.
"Yo~(￣▽￣)"
He half-squinted his eyes and shivered.
"Mmm, that's the taste~" Keldeo watched, slightly stunned.
Tyrogue patted Keldeo's back and said with a grin, "Yo~!"
Wait, when I evolve, we'll form the ultimate 'Sand-Ice' combo!
Sand-Ice combo?
Keldeo's state improved significantly after Tyrogue's interruption.
"Do you remember where Hoopa, Diancie, and Kyurem were frozen?" Jinghe asked.
"I remember."
"Then I'm counting on you."
Jinghe and the other Pokemon looked at Keldeo.
Keldeo's limbs trembled slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and nodded firmly.
"Okay!"
The humans and Pokemon who came to help showed no fear or hesitation, and neither could Keldeo, who had sought their assistance, back down now.
I can do this!
"Follow me, everyone!"
Keldeo led the way, carrying Tyrogue.
"Martial Bear Master, you sense ahead. Azure Flame Blade Demon, you handle the rear."
"Roar!"
"Goo-cha!"
Hum—Hum—
Two waves of Waveguide power spread and permeated, sensing the surroundings from the front and back.
Combined with Gramps and Ice Ninetales, and with the snow created by Ice Ninetales, even if they encountered Tyrantrum, they would have enough time to react.
Meanwhile, onboard the Plasma Destroyer.
Aerodactyl Machine observed the enormous transparent container before him with great interest. It was filled with a special liquid that bubbled slightly.
In the center of the container lay a fearsome beast, asleep.
It resembled a two-legged dinosaur, its body a bluish-gray with unique ice-blue spikes. It had two arms with two tiny fingers each, connected to two ice block wings, one larger and the other smaller.
Its eyes were tightly shut, and aside from faint breathing, there was no other movement.
This fearsome beast was none other than Tyrantrum!
To capture this creature, the Plasma Team had deployed all their forces, including five Genesects, many Plasma Team combatants, and most importantly, the Aerodactyl Machine.
If not for their previous encounter with Tyrantrum, where it had fought with Hoopa, Diancie, and Kyurem, and its subsequent capture while freezing the three "Saint Swordsmen" to protect them, they might not have succeeded.
Even so, the Aerodactyl Machine couldn't control Tyrantrum and could only seal it in this container, slowly extracting its power.
Moreover, despite the container and liquid specifically designed for Ice-type energy, and the prepared device for absorbing Ice-type energy, the entire cabin was still covered in frost, as if they had entered an icy world.
It was foreseeable.
Once Tyrantrum awakens or the sealed container breaks, its terrifying frost could freeze the entire Plasma Destroyer.
That was an incredibly formidable power.
So.
Despite the Plasma Team's enormous cost in capturing Tyrantrum, they couldn't utilize its power or control it. Instead, they had installed a potential explosive freezing bomb on their own destroyer.
Buzz—
The screen lit up, reflecting the light on Akroma's glasses.
"Did you catch it?"
Appearing on the screen was the impatient Seven Sages member, Viola.
Viola quickly spotted Tyrantrum inside the container and couldn't help but shout eagerly:
"Send it to me right away!"
However, Akroma remained unmoved, his hands still in the pockets of his white lab coat.
"Akroma?" Viola seemed to realize something, and the excitement on her face gradually faded as she called out heavily.
Akroma seemed to come to his senses at this moment, gently pushing up his glasses and smiling as he spoke slowly:
"Viola, you can't control it."
"Don't worry about whether I can control it or not."
"You can't control it," Akroma emphasized again, interrupting Viola's words.
Viola: ". "
After a moment of silence, Viola spoke again, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"Help me find the Gene Wedge."
"That's what we agreed upon, so of course I'll help you find it."
"With the Gene Wedge, I can control it, and it will be the strongest!"
A hint of fanaticism, even madness, flashed across Akroma's face, the kind that a super scientist would have.
"You control it?" Viola furrowed her brows.
"Does it make a difference?"
Akroma also looked at Viola.
The two stared at each other through the screen.
After a while.
The expressions of both relaxed almost simultaneously, as if they had reached some unspoken understanding.
"I thought the loss this time would be a bit too much," Akroma pushed up his glasses again, admiring Tyrantrum like a work of art, and murmured.
"What loss?"
"Cha!"
Gigaforg swung its hammer high into the air and then brought it down heavily.
Boom!!
Accompanied by wails and moans, a gigantic Ice Rock Monster fell to the ground.
Although it was a bit dangerous, Ice-type Pokemon could avoid it. However, for a Pokemon like the Ice Rock Monster, which was gigantic and blocked the path, they had no choice but to defeat it.
Fortunately, the entire process didn't take much time.
"It's them!"
Keldeo saw the "Saint Swordsman" trio—Hoopa, Diancie, and Kyurem—frozen into ice sculptures. Jinghe, on the other hand, didn't show much joy.
It was too smooth.
They had already reached the core area of the Giant Cavern and were about to go deeper. In other words, they were at Kyurem's doorstep.
However, along the way, apart from the numerous active and aggressive Ice-type Pokemon, they hadn't even sensed much of Kyurem's aura.
Was it badly injured?
Or perhaps...
it had already been captured?
No matter what.
First, let's rescue the "Saint Swordsmen."
But that wasn't going to be easy.
The small area frozen by Kyurem's "Ice Seal" was meant to protect the "Saint Swordsmen." If it could be shattered easily, Kyurem wouldn't stand a chance.
Keldeo had already tried.
Its head slammed into the ice block, leaving only a few white marks on the surface.
Unconvinced, it tried again and found that it was still ineffective.
"Why can't I break it?"
Keldeo stood there, stunned.
It was thinking.
If its horn hadn't broken, and if it had mastered "The Weight of the Sword," would it have been able to rescue the "Saint Swordsmen"?
"It won't be that easy."
"Cha!"
Gigaforg lightly tapped its hammer, producing a "clang" sound as if it were striking metal.
Its eyes lit up.
Could the ice block be used like metal?
"Awooo~"
Ice Nine Tails also approached the ice block. As an Ice-type Pokemon that had mastered "Permafrost Barrier," it could sense the hardness of this crystal ice block without even touching it.
"Gucha."
Azure Flame Blade Demon drew its sword blade, conjuring a faint blue flame.
It was unclear if it could melt the ice.
Just then.
"Hngga!"
Gramps suddenly cried out urgently, and Ice Nine Tails also raised its tail, causing the terrifying snowstorm to surge.
There, in the midst of the swirling white mist and snowstorm, five figures appeared, hidden and revealed.
Immediately after.
Five lights of different colors shone brightly within the snow.
Jinghe's expression changed.
Genosect!
They hadn't encountered Kyurem, but they had encountered these five Genosect?!
The Plasma Team had succeeded? But why didn't they leave after succeeding?
"It's them!" Keldeo exclaimed.
It recognized these five Genosect; they were the mysterious Pokemon that had surrounded Kyurem during the siege.
The five-colored lights grew brighter.
In the special chapter, a single Genosect had frozen three "Saint Swordsmen" using the "Hi-Tech Light Cannon's" "Freeze Cassette" to release an extremely cold beam.
Their strength was undoubtedly formidable!
And their hostility seemed evident.
