Chapter 517: VS Five Genesects!
Chapter 517: VS Five Genesects!
The Genesects' Hi-Tech Laser cannons were already aimed, and the five cannons could fire at any moment.
Facing this situation, Jinghe's expression changed instantly.
Even Mewtwo wouldn't dare take these five cannons head-on.
But the more dire the situation, the calmer Jinghe became.
"Kyuute!"
"Roar!"
The Kyuute, which had been maintaining the snowfall, had already prepared for the worst. Walls of ice crystals rose from the ground, each reflecting the silhouettes of the five Genesects and their lasers.
Eternal Ice Barrier!
At the same time, the Aurora Curtain, shimmering in five colors, fell, layer upon layer, forming an impenetrable barrier.
This was the Kyuute's ultimate defensive stance.
Simultaneously, Jinghe grabbed the airborne Rapid Dragon's foot, using its speed and the cover of snow and ice walls to evade the range of the Hi-Tech Lasers.
Gramps opened a Dimensional Space and stepped inside.
Martial Bear Master gave a quick instruction to the group before dashing to the side, avoiding the lasers while maneuvering around the Genesects.
The Rapid Dragon released Jinghe and carried Gigaforg towards the hazy sky, disappearing from sight.
"Keldeo, get out of the way!"
Upon hearing this, Keldeo shuddered, snapping out of its shock and horror. Under Tyrogue's command, it ran behind the frozen ice sculptures of the three Saint Swordsmen.
The next second—
Buzz—
The lasers reached their peak brightness, and the five cannons unleashed beams of different colors, effortlessly shattering and piercing through the ice barriers and Aurora Curtain created by Ice Kyuute! The intense heat and explosive impact caused the white mist in the entire space to rise, creating a heat wave.
None of the five Genesects were weak, and the strongest among them was undoubtedly the red Genesect leading the group.
However, the Genesects' strength was different from that of other Legendary Pokemon.
Not only were they individually powerful, but their intricate coordination and unified actions allowed them to unleash destructive power greater than the sum of their individual strengths.
Therefore, to counter them, it was crucial to isolate their battlefield.
At the very least, they couldn't be allowed to unite.
This was naturally difficult for a solitary Legendary Pokemon like Tyrantrum, but for a Trainer with multiple Pokemon, whose teamwork was even more seamless than the Genesects', there was a chance.
And so, with the protection of Ice Kyuute's Eternal Ice Barrier and Aurora Curtain, along with the cover provided by the snow and ice walls, the Genesects' first volley missed its target.
"Roar!!"
A faint blue light glimmered in the Kyuute's eyes, and the white mist and snow in the area became denser, further reducing visibility.
"Roar!"
In the whiteout, a Rapid Dragon cloaked in a giant blue dragon's form plummeted from the sky.
Beneath the blue dragon's form, a torrent of crimson energy surged.
Reverse Scales, activate!
Waveguide!
Jinghe held nothing back. Facing the five Genesects, he dared not hold back and immediately had the Rapid Dragon activate its Reverse Scales.
Then, he used Waveguide to pacify its ferocity.
"Roar!!"
With the power of the Reverse Scales, the giant dragon's form enveloping the Rapid Dragon became more vivid and menacing, intertwining with the white mist and frost, resembling Tyrantrum descending from the sky.
Upon seeing this, the Genesects, led by the red Genesect, scattered, unwilling to take the impact head-on.
They tried to evade the Rapid Dragon's assault.
This was exactly what Jinghe wanted.
The Rapid Dragon drew an arc in the air, not charging towards the center of the Genesects, but turning towards a Genesect with a deep blue cassette on its back.
The Genesects' Hi-Tech Laser's attribute changed based on the cassette they wore.
These cassettes were divided into four types: Water Circuit, Flame Circuit, Freeze Cassette, and Thunder Circuit.
"Gather up!"
The red Genesect leading the group seemed to have understood Jinghe's intention. Its eyes flashed red, and it connected with the other Genesects in a way unique to their kind, conveying information.
The Genesect with the Water Circuit cassette immediately transformed into a small flying ship to avoid the attack.
"Chacha!"
But at that moment, Gigaforg, poised on the Rapid Dragon's back, swung its hammer and smashed the Genesect with the Water Circuit cassette.
Simultaneously, Martial Bear Master burst out of the white mist, its fists surrounded by water currents, and even its entire body was enveloped in a torrent of water. It rushed towards the Genesect with the Flame Circuit cassette at incredible speed.
Water Jet and Water Pulse!
The Genesect, which had been preparing to gather, was also knocked into the mist.
"Gucha!"
Azure Flame Blade Demon, hidden in the shadows, charged towards the Genesect with the Freeze Cassette, repeatedly swinging its Regret Sword to force it back into the white mist.
"Kyuute!" Jinghe called out lightly.
The raging snowstorm created by Kyuute engulfed the Genesect with the Thunder Circuit cassette, pulling it into the blizzard.
Buzz—
The crystalline ice walls and colorful Aurora Curtain fell once more, successfully dividing the battlefield!
"Damn!" the red Genesect cursed silently, preparing to transform into a flying ship to search for its companions.
But at that moment—
"Hngga~"
Gramps tore open a rift behind the Genesect and emerged, surrounded by ethereal blue ghost flames that he hurled towards the Genesect.
Boom!!
However, the red Genesect immediately abandoned its transformation and vigorously waved its arms, swatting away the ghost flames Gramps had fired, reducing them to sparks.
"You're no match for me!" the red Genesect's eyes flashed red, showing little regard for Gramps.
But Jinghe had already achieved his goal.
The battlefield was divided.
Martial Bear Master faced off against the Genesect with the Flame Circuit cassette, relying on its close-range combat skills and type advantage. Although it couldn't win, it could buy some time.
Ice Nine Tails and Azure Flame Blade Demon also faced off against the Thunder Circuit and Freeze Cassette Genesects respectively.
Ice Nine Tails could rely on its defensive capabilities and the environment to counter, while Azure Flame Blade Demon had the greatest attribute advantage among Jinghe's Pokemon.
They could all stall for some time.
Gramps faced off against the red and strongest Genesect.
The key to breaking the stalemate lay in Rapid Dragon and Gigaforg simultaneously engaging the Water Circuit Genesect! With Reverse Scales Mode Rapid Dragon and Gigaforg working together, they might have a chance to strike back.
Of course, the Genesects had a much greater advantage than Jinghe's team.
The biggest threat was the red Genesect that shared the same icy space with Gramps and Jinghe.
"Hngga~~"
Facing the red Genesect's disdain, Gramps showed no signs of anger, placing his hands on his ears and sticking his tongue out at it.
"Haha~~"
Then, he turned around and patted his buttocks.
"Clap clap—"
Can you hit me? If you can, I'll let you touch me~~
In terms of drawing hatred, Gramps' actions were even more effective than provocation.
The red Genesect immediately became enraged.
Buzz—
The Hi-Tech Laser charged up!
Gramps quickly dodged and dove into the Dimensional Space.
A blinding white mist enveloped the area, reducing visibility, and with this dodge, the Genesect momentarily lost its target.
Jinghe stood in the blizzard, his eyes faintly glowing blue.
The blizzard and white fog obstructed the Genesects' vision but did not hinder his Waveguide perception.
Jinghe commanded his Pokemon, stalling for as much time as possible and directing Rapid Dragon and Gigaforg to launch a fierce attack.
However, the outcome was not as smooth as he had hoped.
The Genesects were accustomed to following orders and working as a team, but it was also undeniable that their individual combat abilities were not weak.
"They seem to have weakened," Keldeo said, carrying Tyrogue and appearing beside Jinghe.
Weakened?
Yes, they had weakened.
According to Keldeo's explanation, their ability to directly confront Tyrantrum was...
If they hadn't weakened, Rapid Dragon and Gigaforg could only hold their ground, and Martial Bear Master and Azure Flame Blade Demon would struggle to stall.
Even if they separated the Genesects, preventing them from working together, they couldn't unleash their strongest combined power.
Jinghe gradually realized this.
That's right.
The Genesects couldn't have remained unscathed after fighting Tyrantrum; they must have sustained some injuries.
This was one aspect.
On the other hand, from the start of the clash until now, not a single Plasma Team member had shown up.
The Plasma Team wouldn't abandon such powerful fighters as the Genesects; the only explanation was...
To capture Tyrantrum, the Plasma Team had suffered heavy losses, and during the Genesects' battle with Tyrantrum, the Plasma Team lost control over the Genesects.
This meant that...
While the Genesects fought Tyrantrum, Akroma had forcibly enhanced their combat power using his methods! And now, with the loss of control over the Genesects, that enhancement had also disappeared.
In its place was their weakness.
Weakness and injury.
This was the reason the Genesects had 'weakened' in Keldeo's words.
But it was also Jinghe's opportunity.
Buzz—
At this moment, the red Genesect, unable to find a target, began indiscriminately firing the Hi-Tech Laser.
Even in its weakened and injured state, that laser was not to be underestimated.
"Saint Swordsmen!"
Keldeo cried out, immediately dropping Tyrogue and running towards the ice sculpture where the Saint Swordsmen were located.
Following the Genesect's current Hi-Tech Laser firing trajectory, the ice sculpture where the Saint Swordsmen were would undoubtedly be affected, so Keldeo didn't hesitate and rushed over.
If the Genesect's Hi-Tech Laser hit the ice sculpture...
"Gramps!"
Jinghe called out sternly.
"Hngga!"
Gramps emerged from the Dimensional Space, nodding solemnly at Jinghe.
Given Gramps' characteristics and strength, avoiding a direct confrontation with the Genesect was the best choice.
But things didn't always unfold as Jinghe had envisioned.
The ice sculpture of the Saint Swordsmen became the biggest variable.
In Jinghe's opinion, the ice sculpture Tyrantrum had created to protect the Saint Swordsmen shouldn't have been so easily broken by the Genesect.
But nothing is absolute.
After all, Tyrantrum wasn't present.
And Tyrantrum must have wanted to protect the Saint Swordsmen because they were weak.
If, due to Tyrantrum's absence, the Genesect's laser broke the ice sculpture and hit the Saint Swordsmen...
Keldeo stood firm, his limbs rigid, determinedly shielding the Saint Swordsmen's ice sculpture.
No matter what.
Even if it meant taking the hit, he had to block it! He was prepared for this!
And Gramps, following Jinghe's signal, appeared beside Keldeo.
"Hngga~~"
Gramps laughed, patting Keldeo on the back, then took a step forward and stood in front of Keldeo.
Looking at Gramps' back, which seemed to grow taller, Keldeo was stunned.
At this moment.
The figures of Gramps and the Saint Swordsmen overlapped in his eyes.
Gramps' carefree smile made his heart tremble.
Was he going to be a burden again, protected by others? "Gramps, Mega Evolve!"
Jinghe wasn't going to let Gramps take a beating.
"Hngga~!"
A seven-colored Mega Evolution light burst forth, and Gramps, with his tongue out, was enveloped in the light, as countless brilliant energies poured into him.
Mega Gramps, enter! "Maximize, Shadow Ball!" Jinghe waved his hand and shouted.
"Hngga!!"
Mega Gramps raised his hands, and a surging Ghost-type energy gathered in his hands. In the blink of an eye, a massive black sphere, still growing, formed in his hands.
As the high-tech laser beam swept towards them, Super Gramps took a deep breath, his face contorting into a sinister yet confident grin.
"Come on, who's afraid of who!"
The terrifying beam collided with the pitch-black sphere, like a black hole, and for a brief moment, the entire cavern seemed to fall silent.
The next second—
BOOM!!!
The overwhelming shockwave erupted amidst the deafening roar.
BANG!!
Super Gramps retreated under the impact, bumping into the ice sculpture, and winced as he rubbed his eyes.
"Gramps!" Jinghe's brows furrowed, his eyes filled with concern.
He was making a judgment.
At this moment, should he continue to shield Gramps, risking serious injury?
People have their biases, and Jinghe was no exception.
When it came to saving other Pokemon or protecting his own, he didn't hesitate in making a choice.
But—
"Hahaha!"
Gramps laughed heartily and stood in front of the ice sculpture again, patting his round belly. He pointed at Genesect within the snow, "I, the Saint Swordsman, guarantee their safety! I told you, Jinghe, not even Arceus can do anything!"
Sensing Super Gramps' condition, Jinghe's determination grew stronger.
Yes, protecting others and Gramps was a choice he didn't need to hesitate over.
Jinghe helped other Pokemon based on his ability, and he didn't want to put his Pokemon in danger.
But!
This Gramps wasn't the same Ghost who loved eating noodles!
Why couldn't he defeat a weak, injured, and off-form Genesect?
It's just Genesect!
We've encountered Legendary Pokemon before!
Giratina is just Gramps' "electronic pet"!
"Gramps!"
Jinghe clenched the Key Stone hanging from his single-lens glasses.
At this moment, the Trainer and Pokemon were in sync, and Gramps seemed to feel an endless supply of power.
He clenched his fist, and in an instant, a black sphere the size of the previous Shadow Ball appeared. He stuck out his tongue, grinning maliciously, and as he spread his hands, they split into two!
Humm—
Genesect's high-tech laser beam struck again!
Super Gramps remained unfazed, and Jinghe's cloak fluttered in the wind, his eyes glowing with determination.
Our team wasn't afraid of this Genesect!
But at that moment—
A small figure dashed out from behind Super Gramps, charging straight towards Genesect's high-tech laser beam.
His eyes were resolute, his gaze unwavering, and his feet moved like the wind.
He rushed forward without hesitation!
It was Keldeo!
Above his head, where the broken horn had been, a faint light emanated, and the small, broken horn began to grow back to its original state.
But the light didn't dissipate; instead, it grew brighter.
Until—
The small horn transformed into a deep blue, jagged, and sturdy horn—his sword!
It was also the proof of his status as a Saint Swordsman!
At this moment, Keldeo awakened!
He was the one who truly wanted to save the Saint Swordsmen. He was the one seeking help, but when he saw the frozen Saint Swordsmen, he was still powerless.
All he could do was ask, "What should we do?"
Now, facing an attack that might harm the Saint Swordsmen, he still hesitated and hid behind others.
How long would he stay hidden?
Was he going to be a laughingstock of a Saint Swordsman?
No!
He could!
He must!
He had to!
This was the awakening of a Saint Swordsman!
"I can!" Keldeo faced the high-tech laser beam and leaped high into the air.
His voice reached Jinghe and Super Gramps' ears.
He could!
Jinghe and Super Gramps understood each other's thoughts, and almost instantly, they made a judgment.
Super Gramps stopped his actions and vanished into the shadows.
BOOM!!
Keldeo collided with the high-tech laser beam, and another terrifying roar erupted.
Mystic Sword!
And Super Gramps—
He appeared behind the red Genesect.
He smashed the two Shadow Balls in his hands.
"Haha!"
Have a taste of this!
BOOM!! BOOM!!
"Damn!"
The red Genesect was directly smashed by Super Gramps and flew into the air.
But Jinghe and Gramps didn't intend to stop there. Gramps waved his palm and entered the Dimensional Space again.
When he reappeared, he was already beside the falling Genesect.
Will-O-Wisp!
The flames that had been scattered earlier now rained down on Genesect.
Opportunity!
This was the chance to heavily damage Genesect!
As for helping them?
They could discuss it after they calmed down.
Humm—
The red Genesect's eyes glowed red again.
Four high-tech laser beams shot out from different angles.
Although Kyute separated them, it was impossible to block such an impact.
Four somewhat disheveled Genesects flew out of the snowy mist.
"Go!"
The red Genesect dared not linger and immediately fled with his subordinates.
"Rapid Dragon!"
Jinghe stopped the pursuing Rapid Dragon with a shake of his head.
The Genesects wanted to escape, and even Mewtwo might not catch them. There was no need to pursue them.
Repelling them was a significant success for Jinghe and his Pokemon!
Moreover, they were the ones who had sought help in the first place.
Jinghe looked at Azure Flame Blade Demon.
Assigning it to deal with the Freeze Cassette Genesect wasn't just because of type advantage.
It was also because the Freeze Cassette Genesect was the one among them who most desired peace.
Azure Flame Blade Demon's Wave Guide and Psychic powers could establish a connection with it.
"Goo-cha~"
Azure Flame Blade Demon nodded slightly at Jinghe.
Communication and connection had already been established.
