Pokémon: Master System.

Humans seem so insignificant in the face of such powerful Pokémon.

"Xia Yu!" Xiao Wanyu noticed Xia Yu's unusual behavior and quickly directed the Togekiss beneath her to move closer to Xia Yu.

"I...I'm...okay." Xia Yu hugged Charizard tightly, trying to dispel the chill from his body.

The heat emanating from the Charizard slightly dispelled the chill.

"Let's go check if the Iron Warriors are alright," Xia Yu said.

They were almost overwhelmed even from such a distance, let alone the Pokémon that were closest.

“Okay,” Xiao Wanyu nodded in response.

The two rode their Flying-type Pokémon and approached Gigantamax Lapras again, their eyes fixed on the Pokémon on the ice.

Because of the extremely close proximity, almost all the Elite Four Pokémon were frostbitten, severely injured, and covered in thick layers of ice.

As for the main Pokémon, Hydreigon was also injured due to its double weakness to Ice.

Mega Gardevoir reacted quickly, using Teleport to create distance the instant the mist attacked, thus avoiding much damage.

Darkrai and Cresselia, while not seriously injured, did suffer some injuries.

As for the Iron Warrior who was closest, it suffered the most from the cold air, and its body was already frozen, with even the double-headed sword in its hand covered with thick ice.

"Cresseria, pray with the new moon!"

Seeing this, Xiao Wanyu decisively ordered Cresselia to use the New Moon Prayer.

Crescent Prayer, Cresselia's signature move, restores some of the HP of allied ally on the field and heals their status ailments.

In this kind of brawl, Cresselia is practically a mobile blood bank.

As the psychic powers surged, Cresselia emitted a purple glow and danced a crescent moon dance under the light.

The Psychic-type energy spread and surged in all directions, healing all the Pokémon's injuries and status conditions.

The same skill also worked on Xia Yu, dispelling most of the chill in his body and leaving him feeling warm and comfortable.

Seeing this, Xia Yu suddenly regretted it. He should have gotten Cresselia. What trash Darkrai? It couldn't even hypnotize Gigantamax Lapras. Go to hell.

Of course, this is just a joke. Darkrai's Dark Hole is also an extremely powerful group hypnosis move, which is surprisingly effective when dealing with weaker enemies. However, it only becomes ineffective when facing Gigantamax Lapras.

"Iron Warrior, continue the attack, use Brick Breaker."

"Gallade, use close combat!"

"Darkrai, keep using Dark Hole!"

…………

Xia Yu's voice rang out. He didn't believe that Darkrai's Dark Hole was completely useless. As long as it had even a little effect, it would accumulate and eventually affect Gigantamax Lapras.

Following Xia Yu's command, the three Pokémon launched another attack on Gigantamax Lapras.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wanyu commanded Mega Gardevoir and Hydreigon to continue their siege of Gigantamax Lapras, while Cresselia continuously used the move Crescent Prayer.

With Cresselia as their blood bank, Xia Yu and the others finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

As it was attacked by several champion-level Pokémon, Gigantamax Lapras suffered more and more injuries and gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

At this moment, Gigantamax Laplace finally felt a sense of crisis. If things continued like this, it was very likely that it would be defeated here.

Gigantamax Lapras raised its head, and the ice-type vortex surrounding its body accelerated its flow. At the same time, water-type energy surged as it raised its head.

Its gaze fell on Cresselia, which was flying in the air. It had to deal with Cresselia first!

"Mega Current!"

This time, Gigantamax Lapras's Dynamax Aqua was not aimed at Iron Warrior, but at Cresselia, who had been playing a supporting role.

The incredibly fast-moving torrent of water gave everyone no time to react. The water cannon streaked across the sky like a rainbow piercing the sun, directly hitting Cresselia and blasting her away!

Cresselia, which had already taken a hit from Absolute Zero, was in no condition to withstand a full-power STAB Max Water Stream.

Cresselia was blasted away and eventually landed on the ice, losing her ability to fight.

“Come back, Cresselia.”

…………

Chapter 353 All-Out Battle

While Gigantamax Lapras launched its attack, other Pokémon continued to attack it relentlessly, leaving wounds on Gigantamax Lapras.

Just then, Laplace suddenly raised his head, and the ice-type circulation around his body began to spin faster.

Its entire body erupted with a large amount of ice energy once again, and the cold air raged.

It was clear that Laplace was now prepared to fight desperately. With a high-pitched cry, a burst of cold air erupted and spread wildly outwards.

"Absolute zero!"

After defeating Cresselia, Laplace immediately unleashed Absolute Zero once again.

Absolute Zero is a special move. When a Pokémon uses it, it's a normal single-target move with immense power. Once frozen, it's an instant kill. But if you can withstand it, you'll only get injured.

When used by Gigantamax Lapras, it becomes a multi-target area-of-effect move, with different Pokémon having different effects when used by different Pokémon.

However, this time the absolute zero was significantly faster and more powerful than the last one.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yu, Xiao Wanyu, and Liu Yunhan all showed solemn expressions.

The last time absolute zero froze Xia Yu pretty badly, and if it happened again, Xia Yu didn't know if he could withstand it.

"Charizard, retreat!"

This time, Xia Yu didn't hesitate and immediately ordered the Charizard beneath him to flee outwards at full speed.

The moment he saw Lapras begin to gather ice-type energy, he immediately commanded Charizard to fly away.

Seeing this, Xiao Wanyu also commanded Togekiss to quickly create distance while moving closer to Charizard.

"Xia Yu, hide behind me and Tokis." Xiao Wanyu's voice rang out.

She was worried that Xia Yu would be shivering from the cold like last time, so she offered to stand in front of him to shield him from the biting wind and frost.

Togekiss possesses power at the level of a Celestial King, and at such a distance, he could easily withstand Laplace's Absolute Zero.

Hearing Xiao Wanyu's words and glancing at the distance between himself and Lapras, Xia Yu frowned slightly, then said, "Charizard and Togekiss, land. Wanyu, have Togekiss protect us. Charizard, use Blaze to resist Absolute Zero!"

At this point, the two were quite far from Gigantamax Lapras. With Charizard's Burst Burn and Togekiss's protection, it was very likely that they could neutralize and deflect Gigantamax Lapras's attack.

Upon hearing Xia Yu's command, Charizard and Togekiss landed on the ground.

At the same time, Charizard's entire body erupted with raging flames, fire energy continuously spewed out, and the extreme temperature caused flames to shoot in all directions, sweeping across the sky.

The churning flames collided with the icy mist, neutralizing almost all of the chill, leaving only a small amount of cold air to rush towards the two of them.

With Togekiss's protection, most of the cold air was blocked again, and when it reached the two of them, it felt like a cold wind.

After the chill subsided, the two looked up in the direction of Gigantamax Laplace.

Apart from Darkrai, which still had some strength left, all the other Elite Four level Pokémon were seriously injured and collapsed.

The three-headed dragon was also severely injured, but still had a sliver of strength left.

Before the chill arrived, the Iron Warrior held its double-bladed blades horizontally in front of it, spinning them at high speed and unleashing fighting-type energy to block some of the chill's impact. Apart from the double-bladed blades in its hands being frozen solid, its body was only covered with a thin layer of frost.

Mega Gardevoir still used Teleport to create distance, and its injuries were the least severe.

"Iron Warrior, close combat!"

Iron Warrior looked up at Gigantamax Lapras, unleashing a massive amount of Fighting-type energy. He leaped forward, spinning his twin blades, and slashed fiercely.

"Gardedor, Loud Voice."

"Three evil dragons, meteor swarm!"

Xiao Wanyu's voice rang out. The battle had reached this point, and both sides were at their wits' end, resorting to their most desperate moves.

Mega Gardevoir with its Fairy Skin ability unleashed a devastating roar, Hydreigon's most powerful STAB move Meteor Shower, and Iron Warrior's powerful STAB move Close Combat—all of these attacks were directed at Gigantamax Lapras.

The dragon-type energy emanating from the three-headed dragon shot straight into the sky. In the air, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth like fireworks, and dozens of fireballs fell from the sky, heading towards Laplace.

At the same time, Gardevoir let out a high-pitched cry, using its Fairy Skin ability to convert its Great Roar move into a Fairy-type move, which, imbued with Fairy-type energy, hurtled towards Lapras.

As for the Iron Warrior, it unleashed a deep red fighting-type energy, and with a slight twist of its double-edged blade, it split into two broken blades, leaping high into the air and slashing towards Laplace.

Meteor Shower, Loud Roar, and Close Combat were all used on Laplace.

One meteorite after another fell from the sky, burning fiercely and leaving long trails of flame, crashing into Laplace and causing him to cry out in pain.

At the same time, the loud attack also landed on Laplace, causing some damage.

Finally, there was the Iron Warrior, who leaped high into the air, brandishing two broken blades. He swung his twin swords and unleashed a fork-shaped fighting-type energy slash in front of him, which landed on Laplace.

"boom!"

Blood gushed out. Under the relentless attacks, Gigantamax Lapras finally succumbed to the onslaught. Its long neck swayed, and it let out a painful howl.

Severely injured, Gigantamax Lapras decided to avoid the battle and flee for the first time. It glanced at the group of Pokémon surrounding it and prepared to dive into the deep sea.

None of the Pokémon attacking it—Hydreigon, Gardevoir, Ironhide, and Darkrai—are skilled in underwater combat. Once it dives into the deep sea, that will be its home turf.

Xia Yu, with his keen eyes, had already seen that Gigantamax Lapras was planning to escape, and his worst fears had come true.
