A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

In the frozen sea, time seemed to stand still.

The world-destroying iceberg cone, carrying absolute zero that freezes souls, crashed down with the force to crush everything!

Below, two golden dragons composed of pure destructive lightning, entwined with an indomitable will and a resolute determination to protect, surged upstream, unleashing a roar that shattered the universe!

“BOOM—!!!!!!!!!!!!”

At the moment of impact, heaven and earth fell silent!

A blinding light engulfed everything! The annihilation of energy released a blinding white light! Only a frantic buzzing remained deep within our eardrums!

A devastating shockwave followed! Materialized energy turbulence spread wildly in a ring!

The icy sea was as if it had been ruthlessly plowed by an invisible giant plow! Layers of ice, tens of meters thick, were torn up, shattered, and vaporized!

The churning black seawater was exposed and then instantly froze!

The crumbling defensive fortifications at the front of the Chinese position were completely flattened and blown away like paper! Countless Pokémon and trainers were violently overturned!

Kyurem, atop the ice peak, was thrown backward by the recoil, carving a deep trench in the ice's surface, and the wound on his chest burst open again, spraying blood!

But its crimson dragon eyes were fixed on what was below, turning the pain into a deeper ferocity!

On the icy sea, Czechrom endures the terrifying pressure of a direct attack!

The massive dragon body was forced backward, its claws carving deep ravines into the ice!

The light from the turbocharger's tail flickered intensely, like an engine running at overload!

The dragon's entire body, covered in jet-black scales, trembled and groaned at a high frequency! Two raging lightning dragons were being eroded, frozen, and worn away by deep blue extreme cold energy!

"Uhhhhhh-!!!"

Zhang Heng let out a roar that sounded inhuman! The mental link was like a high-voltage electric torture device!

Every bit of pressure and every trace of icy chill that Zekrom endured was amplified and reflected back to the depths of his soul! Blood vessels burst in his eyeballs, and his vision turned blood red!

Blood welled up in his eyes and instantly froze! He felt his bones groan, and his internal organs were being squeezed and kneaded by an invisible giant hand!

The power of the dragon was being frantically squeezed out, surging into Zekrom's body like burning his life force, in an attempt to stabilize the thunderous dragon on the verge of collapse!

Zhang Heng's Dragon Taming Power was also a powerful aid to Zekrom, a dragon-type creature. Zekrom's nearly extinguished turbo tail suddenly erupted with its last and most intense golden light!

"hold head high--!!!!"

The two lightning dragons roared in despair, their bodies suddenly expanding, forcefully resisting the downward momentum of the giant iceberg cone!

The deep blue ice and the destructive golden lightning annihilated and neutralized each other at the point of collision! The tip of the massive iceberg began to disintegrate and vaporize, while the body of the lightning dragon became illusory and transparent at an astonishing speed!

An evenly matched contest!?

The terrifying creation and the ultimate blow that burns life reached a brief, suffocating balance at the pinnacle of destruction!

The tip of the giant iceberg cone kept shattering, but the massive body was still held back by the interlaced lightning, preventing it from falling completely and crashing into the Chinese positions behind it!

However, at the very moment that balance point appeared!

"Roar! Ro ...

Kyurem, atop the icy peak, let out a soul-rending roar, filled with endless pain and a destructive desire!

In its scarlet dragon eyes, a cunning and resolute glint flashed, surpassing even madness!

It didn't care whether the giant iceberg cone could actually crash down! That was just a feint, a bait to force the opponent to exhaust its last bit of strength!

Its target is Czechoslovakia itself!

Suddenly, it stomped down with both feet, not on the ice peak, but on the thirty-meter-high ice mountain that served as its base!

"Boom—crackle crackle!!!"

The earth trembled and the mountains crumbled! The giant iceberg that held Kyurem broke apart and collapsed from the waist up under its unparalleled power!

With the force of this extremely violent stomp, Kyurem's massive body transformed into an ice-blue meteor that tore through the sky.

Carrying the kinetic energy to shatter everything and the chilling aura to freeze everything, it shot out towards Zekrom below, who was fully focused on unleashing his crisscrossing lightning and had no time to spare!

boom! boom!

boom! boom!

Kyurem walks on the ice! Its massive feet, covered with thick ice shards and like battering rams, slam into the relatively stable end of the iceberg cone with each powerful stomp, causing a deafening roar like an avalanche and terrifying explosions of ice crystals!

The massive ice spikes trembled violently beneath its feet!

Along this "bridge of death" that it created itself and is constantly being destroyed by enemy forces, it rushes madly toward Zekrom at a speed beyond the limits of vision!

Below, both Czechrom and Zhang Heng's pupils shrank simultaneously!

The deadly warning signs were like an ice pick piercing the heart!

They felt the terrifying pressure and chilling killing intent that seemed to be pressing down like Mount Tai!

But at this moment, Zekrom poured all his strength and all his will into maintaining those two lightning dragons and resisting the giant ice cone that was enough to destroy everyone behind them!

Its body was as if it were locked in place by invisible shackles, and its turbo tail was overloaded and emitted a piercing scream, making it completely powerless to make any dodging or defensive movements!

Zhang Heng's eyes were bloodshot! He wanted to get Czechrom to give up and evade, but—it was too late!

Kyurem is too fast! And if he gives up, everyone behind him will be immediately swallowed by the annihilating iceberg!

In a flash!

Kyurem's massive, ice-blue figure had already stepped on the constantly trembling and crumbling iceberg cones, and rushed to the sky above Zekrom as if by teleportation!

A massive shadow completely enveloped the exhausted, pitch-black dragon below!

Its right claw was already poised to strike! It was no longer just ordinary energy condensation!

The indigo dragon energy erupted like boiling lava! It instantly condensed and took shape on its right claw!

That was no longer a blurry energy claw shadow, but a lifelike claw covered with fine energy dragon scales, its claws as sharp as divine weapons that cleaved the heavens—the claw of a true dragon!

The deep blue chill swirling around the claws seemed to freeze the very space around them, creating tiny cracks!

Without any hesitation!

Kyurem's crimson dragon eyes locked onto Zekrom's relatively thin chest scales. Raising its right claw high, it tore through the solidified air with a terrifying force capable of shattering the void, and viciously clawed down at the immobile black dragon below!

"Tear—Pfft!!!!!!!!!!"

A terrifying sound, a mixture of tearing metal and exploding energy, echoed across the battlefield!

The dragon claws, like red-hot blades, slashed into the solid ice, violently tearing through the battered, dark dragon scales protecting Zekrom's chest! The cuts were deep enough to see bone!

The indigo-blue raging dragon energy, mixed with the freezing deep blue chill, poured into Zekrom's body like millions of red-hot ice needles!

Pierce, destroy, and freeze its flesh, bones, and energy channels!

"Roar! Ro ...

Zekrom let out the most piercing and agonizing dragon roar since the start of the war! The roar was filled with unbelievable pain and the despair of having one's power forcibly stripped away!

Its massive body arched backward as if it had been struck head-on by a meteorite!

The ripped wound on his chest erupted with a terrifying burst of energy, intertwined with gold and blue!

Broken dragon scales, frozen flesh, severed energy veins... spewed out like a fountain from that huge wound!

The raging lightning surrounding it was extinguished instantly, as if doused by the water of ancient ice!

The two lightning dragons supporting the giant iceberg instantly disintegrated into countless wandering electric snakes and vanished without a trace!

The most lethal thing is its massive spiral tail, a symbol of power and the source of will!

"Sizzle... crackle... buzz..."

The turbine-like structure emitted a few feeble groans before its high-speed rotation abruptly stopped!

The brilliant golden light dimmed rapidly like a candle flickering in the wind, eventually going out completely! It turned into a lifeless, dim black spiral!

The power was forcibly interrupted!

All of this pain was fed back to Zhang Heng without reservation through the mental link!

"puff--!!!"

Zhang Heng's body arched violently, as if he had been struck in the chest by an invisible giant hammer!

A large mouthful of scalding hot blood, mixed with food residue and stomach acid, was vomited out!

In an instant, he was overwhelmed by boundless darkness and blood red! He felt as if his soul had been ripped apart by that dragon claw!

Every nerve was burning and snapping! The backlash from the Dragon-Controlling Power was like billions of red-hot steel needles, piercing wildly outward from the depths of the brain!

He couldn't even scream; he could only squeeze out a hoarse, bellows-like gasping sound from deep in his throat as his body convulsed uncontrollably.

Consciousness seemed to plummet into an ice cave, rapidly sinking, with only the excruciating pain of being frantically plundered from the point of connection with Czechoslovakia remaining crystal clear!

Kyurem's ultimate goal is not to kill, but to plunder!

Just like it did to the Lady with the Mist, its desire for the "accessory" Zekrom far exceeds that of the little messenger!

Just as Zekrom was severely injured by its claw and flew backward with a scream, Kyurem's massive body used the recoil to perform an extremely agile flip in mid-air, which was completely out of proportion to its size!

"Roar--!"

Its massive jaws, filled with sharp teeth and flowing with a mixture of icy blue and brownish-red energy, carried a stench, like an ancient crocodile dragon hunting its prey, as it precisely and ruthlessly bit down on Zekrom's thick, unguarded neck!

Snap! Crack!

The chilling sounds of bones cracking and tough muscle fibers being forcibly torn apart rang out!

Kyurem's terrifying bite force, capable of crushing mountains, was instantly applied to Zekrom's neck!

The tough skin and muscles covered in jet-black dragon scales were easily pierced! Sharp dragon teeth were deeply embedded in the cervical vertebrae!

"Ugh—!!!"

Czechrom's roar of pain instantly turned into a suffocating, desperate sob!

Its massive body was held firmly by the Kyurem's terrifying bite force, and its momentum of flying backward was abruptly stopped!

The excruciating pain and suffocation from its cervical spine made it struggle and twist frantically. Its massive dragon wings instinctively flapped against the air, stirring up violent turbulence, but all of this seemed so futile under the absolute power of Kyurem!

However, what's even more terrifying than the physical bite is the energy plunder that follows!

The deep blue, frigid energy, like a greedy venomous snake, surged wildly through the sharp teeth that Kyurem had embedded in Zekrom's neck!

But this is not destruction, but erosion and guidance!

They forcibly invaded the remaining dragon-type energy within its body! Then, they extracted it in reverse!

"Buzz—Buzz—!!!"

Visible to the naked eye, the purest dragon essence, mixed with Zekrom's life force, was like flesh forcibly stripped away, transforming into thick torrents of energy that Kyurem frantically sucked and devoured through its biting teeth!

Without the Gene Wedge, Kyurem chose a more primitive method: absorbing energy from him.

Czechrom's body began to convulse violently!

That was no longer a struggle, but an uncontrollable spasm caused by the forced extraction of its life essence. Its huge dragon eyes rolled back in pain, and saliva mixed with energy fragments spilled from its mouth!

The massive wound on its chest no longer spewed energy; instead, it exuded an eerie, drained, and decaying aura! The completely extinguished spiral turbine at the tail became cold and lifeless!

"Ho...ho..."

Zhang Heng lay on the ice, his body also convulsing violently, bloody foam constantly gushing from his mouth and nose.

The mental link transmitted the extreme pain and weakness of Czechrom, whose life and strength were being forcibly plundered, as if his own bone marrow and blood were being drained!

His vision was completely blurred, and his consciousness sank into an abyss of boundless pain and despair. Only the gurgling sound of being swallowed echoed deep within his soul, so clear it was maddening.

Above the icy sea, Kyurem's crimson dragon eyes gleam with greed, satisfaction, and chilling cruelty.

It bit down hard on Zekrom's neck, feeling the pure energy flowing into its body, suppressing the wound in its chest and replenishing its depleted strength.

It slowly raised its head, its cold gaze sweeping over the desolate, horrified, and desperate Chinese positions below, as if demonstrating its unparalleled power and dominance.

In one corner of the battlefield, two furtive figures lay prone on the ice, their eyes fixed on Kyurem.

"Hey~ Now it's just the two of us who have fighting power left, shall we go in?"

The one speaking was Zhu Zi, who was asking A Min, who was lying next to him.

This wasn't the first time they had met, but this was the first time they had ever fought side-by-side.

Ah Min replied nonchalantly, "If you're afraid, you don't have to go. I'm not going to be a deserter!"

"Haha, that's good. Let's have a good fight. It doesn't matter if we die in battle, at least we'll have so many comrades with us."

Two young Chinese men encouraged each other in this simplest way, preparing to contribute their share.
