Pokémon: Master System.

This is why the Metagross in front of us is neither heterochromatic nor shiny, nor does it have any unique or special abilities, yet it is still so powerful, simply powerful.

With its powerful combat awareness, perfect energy control, and sharp reflexes in battle, every ability of its is at its peak, making it like a perfect all-rounder. There is no doubt that the Metagross in front of us is the best among its peers.

…………

"Darkrai, be careful," Xia Yu warned Darkrai, while simultaneously thinking of a way to defeat Metagross.

Just as Xia Yu was pondering, Metagross suddenly moved. Its body flashed with purple light again, and Psychic energy enveloped its body as if it were covered with a thin film, which greatly increased Metagross's speed, and it pounced on Darkrai.

Enveloped in psychic energy, Metagross's speed increased even further compared to before.

This time, Xia Yu was finally able to confirm that the Psychic energy surging on Metagross was the Agility skill, which greatly increased its speed.

Seeing the ferocious Metagross approaching, Xia Yu's voice rang out. At this moment, he could only think of one skill to break the deadlock.

"Darkrai, a clever trick!"

"Transplant" is a Dark-type physical attack move, a powerful and unique move.

This skill is not only quite powerful, but it also has a very special effect.

That is, when attacking an enemy, one does not use one's own strength to attack, but rather uses the opponent's strength to attack.

The stronger the enemy, the greater the damage dealt.

This skill is a perfect fit for Darkrai in this situation.

Darkrai is more inclined towards special attack; its physical attack is not outstanding, only average. If it uses physical attack moves, it will deal limited damage to Metagross, which has excellent physical defense.

However, the skill of "Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees" is completely different when it uses Metagross's power to attack. The Metagross in front of us is incredibly powerful.

The "Transplant" technique can also achieve its maximum effect, dealing high damage to Metagross, especially since Metagross is twice as weak to Dark and has the added bonus of Dark STAB damage.

If this skill successfully hits Metagross, it will definitely cause it serious damage.

As Xia Yu's voice rang out, Darkrai unleashed Dark-type energy, enveloping its body and hurtling towards Metagross.

Metagross stared coldly at Darkrai, while its arm was once again enveloped in Fighting-type energy, the only Fighting-type move it currently possessed.

This is also a drawback of wild Pokémon, because without the guidance of a trainer, the skills they can learn are quite limited, and they can only learn skills by improving their strength.

Metagross, for example, could actually learn a more useful Power Punch, which, although slightly weaker, increases its Attack with each attack. Unfortunately, no one teaches it, so it can't learn it.

…………

Darkrai did not flinch in the face of Metagross's attack and charged straight at it.

The distance between the two closed in an instant, and Metagross raised its thick metal forelimbs and slammed them down on Darkrai.

At the same time, Darkrai was also enveloped in Dark-type energy and punched Metagross.

"boom!"

The clash between the two erupted with a deafening roar. Darkrai steadily withstood Metagross's attack and even seemed to gain the upper hand!

The move "Transplant" is quite powerful, only slightly weaker than Metagross's Hammer move, but Darkrai's Transplant has a STAB boost.

In this way, the power of the substitution technique is naturally much stronger than that of Metagross.

However, just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a loud bang suddenly came from the side, and Darkrai and Metagross both looked in the direction from which the sound came.

A streak of light flew rapidly from a distance, interrupting the battle between the two Pokémon, passing between them, and crashing into the opposite cave wall, creating a large crater in the entire cave.

Darkrai and Metagross looked at the cave wall at the same time and realized that the stream of light was actually the Crystal Metagross from the beginning!

It had fallen to the ground, fallen into a coma, and completely lost its ability to fight.

How long has it been?

The Crystal Metagross had already lost its ability to fight.

Darkrai and Metagross snapped out of their daze and turned to look in the direction from which Crystal Metagross had come.

The Iron Warrior slowly approached, wielding his double-edged blade, his gaze fixed on Darkrai and the giant Metagross.

The giant metal monster's gaze was fixed on the Iron Warrior, and it could feel the vast, ocean-like aura emanating from him.

For the first time, it felt the urge to retreat, because its calculations showed that it had a zero chance of winning against the Iron Warrior.

Logically speaking, Metagross should have tried to escape, but as a king, it also has its own pride.

"Metamorphose." Xia Yu had guessed Metagross's thoughts and looked at it, saying, "How about we make a bet?"

“You and Darkrai will fight one-on-one; the Iron Warriors won’t interfere.”

"If you win, I will let you leave, and the Iron Warrior will absolutely not stop you."

"But if you lose, you'll come with me from today onwards and become my Pokémon."

"How about it?"

Xia Yu's voice rang out as he smiled at the giant Megalomon in front of him.

He knew that it would be difficult to tame an adult Metagross and make it truly obedient.

But Xia Yu really liked the Metagross in front of him, especially its personality.

With its aloof and calm demeanor, Metagross is undoubtedly a born king.

And it can grow so strong even in the wild. With the guidance of a trainer, it will definitely be the next Iron Warrior!

That's why Xia Yu came up with this idea.

This is trust in oneself, and also trust in Darkrai.

Metagross listened to Xia Yu's words, its gaze sweeping over Iron Warrior, Darkrai, and Xia Yu before finally nodding slightly.

"Alright, it's settled then. Iron Warrior, you take a rest. Leave this battle to Darkrai! Don't interfere!"

Chapter 478 Darkrai vs. Metagross

Darkrai floated in the air, its black aura burning like flames. Its scarlet eyes stared at Metagross from afar, and a chilling atmosphere filled the air.

Neither Darkrai nor Metagross has made a move yet, seemingly preparing for the upcoming battle.

The atmosphere in the arena was extremely tense, and a major battle was about to break out.

The Iron Warrior walked towards Xia Yu, silently holding his sword and standing there like a military commander, quietly watching Darkrai and Metagross.

Although it didn't make a move, simply standing there quietly put immense pressure on Metagross and Darkrai.

Just then, Xia Yu's voice rang out first: "Darkrai, use Dark Pulse!"

Darkrai surged with dark-type energy, transforming into a dark wave that, like a dark rainbow of death, spanned the entire cave and flew towards Metagross.

Despite Darkrai's attack, Metagross remained calm and collected as always. Its psychic powers enveloped its body, allowing it to float in the air and move with the ease of a drone, effortlessly dodging Darkrai's attacks.

Seeing this, Xia Yu frowned. Facing Metagross, which had script-like movement, Darkrai's long-range attacks were almost impossible to hit.

Therefore, close-range combat is necessary to defeat Metagross.

However, Darkrai is not good at close combat, and once it gets close, it has to face Metagross's terrifying power.

The situation seems to be getting increasingly unfavorable for Darkrai.

However, Darkrai is not without a chance. If it makes good use of its two abilities, Transplant and Dark Hole, it has a slight chance of winning.

Using the "Transplant" technique can allow you to confront Metagross head-on, while the Dark Hole is the key to victory!

If Dark Hole successfully hits Metagross and puts it to sleep, combined with Darkrai's Nightmare ability and Darkrai's special attack, there is a good chance of winning this battle.

Xia Yu's eyes flashed, and he had already made up his mind. He gave the order again: "Darkrai, trick!"

Hearing Xia Yu's command, Darkrai did not hesitate at all. Dark-type energy surged from its body, like burning black flames, enveloping Darkrai's body and greatly increasing its Special Attack.

Xia Yu chose to have Darkrai use Nasty Plot at this time in order to ensure that Darkrai could defeat Metagross during a hypnosis session!

Given Metagross's high intelligence, it's almost impossible for it to be at a disadvantage twice with the same skill, so Darkrai only has one chance to win.

Xia Yu has decided to place all his hopes for victory on the Dark Hole skill. Whether he can win or not depends on whether Darkrai can hypnotize Metagross!

As Darkrai used Nasty Plot, Metagross also launched its attack. Steel-type energy surged from its body, enveloping its thick, blue arms. It streaked through the air like a silver streak as it hurtled towards Darkrai.

Bullet punch!

Steel-type energy covered Metagross's arm, as if it were coated with a metallic layer, and it blasted towards Darkrai with terrifying force.

Bullet Punch itself isn't very powerful, but when Metagross unleashes it with its terrifying strength, it becomes quite frightening.

But seeing Metagross unleash Bullet Punch, Xia Yu felt a surge of joy.

He was just thinking of letting Darkrai take a Metagross attack so he could find an opportunity to get close and use Dark Hole, but he didn't expect to have such a perfect opportunity.

Metagross actually initiated a close-range attack, and it was only a low-powered move like Bullet Punch.

Now is an opportunity for Darkrai, a perfect chance to unleash the Dark Hole.

“Darkrai, Dark Hole!” Xia Yu’s voice rang out.

Dark-type energy surged from Darkrai's body, and a jet-black energy ball formed and gathered in its hand, but it did not throw it. Instead, it waited for Metagross to attack!

"boom!"

Metagross's Bullet Punch landed on Darkrai, and the immense force caused Darkrai to momentarily lose consciousness. His vision went black, and his body flew backward uncontrollably.

Only then did Darkrai realize how terrifying Metagross's power was; this was just one of Metagross's low-powered Bullet Punches.
