Chapter 457
Holy crap, Groudon and Kyogre are actually teaming up!
Hoopa's move was brilliant; he used his opponent's moves against him!
[Kyogre: Only I can beat Groudon!]
[Holy crap, Groudon and Kyogre are actually kind of ship... this love-hate relationship is just amazing!]
[No way, is this some kind of superhuman? Are all the Groudon and Kyogre players here?]
[Its level of absurdity is comparable to that of a savior...]
[...]
Groudon and Kyogre's perfect teamwork rendered Hoopa's attack ineffective.
But Xia Chi on the ground frowned.
Hoopa hovered in mid-air, surrounded by six golden magic rings that emitted a chilling spatial fluctuation.
The combined attack that was powerful enough to tear mountains apart was effortlessly returned to it by distorting space with its magic ring.
This mechanism... is simply unsolvable.
Xia Chi's brain was working at lightning speed.
This magical ring, capable of distorting space, constitutes almost absolute defense on a physical level.
Any attack that enters the magic ring's detection range will be instantly teleported or reflected.
Although the power of the rebound seems to decrease depending on Hoopa's own energy, this "zero-loss" fighting style means that Hoopa is almost immune to all conventional attacks.
If it can use this ability indefinitely, then it has no chance of winning this battle.
Does it have no weaknesses?
Xia Chi stared intently at Hu Pana's mocking gaze, trying to find a flaw in the other's flippant demeanor.
However, all that responded to him was the increasingly exaggerated mocking smile on Hoopa's lips.
We can't keep passively taking hits like this.
Xia Chi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anxiety in his heart. His wave power instantly permeated the entire area, accurately delivering the command to the hearts of every partner.
"Groudon, Kyogre, Masked Meow, and Urshifu, prepare to attack simultaneously!"
Since a single-point breakthrough is ineffective, let's try a multi-pronged approach.
As Xia Chi gave the order, the two Hoenn gods, who were originally at loggerheads, miraculously put aside their prejudices.
Groudon roared to the heavens, and the earth beneath its feet instantly cracked open. Crimson magma gushed from the depths of the earth's crust, gathering in front of it and coalescing into a giant blade of light powerful enough to cleave the continental shelf.
Sword of the Precipice!
Beside it, Kyogre's wings fluttered wildly, and deep blue destructive energy was compressed into a frozen beam of light that pierced the heavens and the earth from its mouth!
Not only the two gods, but the Magic Masked Cat on the ground also had its fur stand on end. It leaped high into the air and unleashed a [Thousand Transformations] attack, gathering all its power, tearing through the air and creating a sharp whistling sound.
The martial arts master Xiong Shi beside him was even more eager for battle, and dozens of high-speed spinning water fists rained down on Hu Pa like a storm of pear blossoms.
From all directions, a torrent of energy converged into an impenetrable net, its target the arrogant figure at the center.
boom-
The deafening roar of the energy burst rippled across the ground for several kilometers around.
However, Hoopa simply yawned lazily.
In the next instant, the six golden magic rings seemed to come alive, tracing strange paths in the air and precisely blocking the way of each move.
The crimson blade of the Precipice Sword collided with the magic ring and vanished instantly, but the next second it shot out from another magic ring, heading straight for Groudon's face.
The frozen beam was refracted by the distorted space, and the icy storm that was originally aimed at Hoopa turned around and slammed into Kyogre.
Even Miaoha's Thousand Transformations and Xiong Shi's Water Flow Combo were not spared and were all sent back the way they came.
"spread!"
Xia Chi's warning reached the minds of all the elves at the critical moment.
Groudon twisted its massive body forcefully, its crimson magma shield withstanding the cliff-breaking sword it had unleashed. Although it managed to block it, the enormous impact caused it to stagger backward, crushing large sections of rock.
Kyogre swung its tail, creating a massive wave that countered the impact of the Ice Beam. The collision of ice and water instantly condensed into a large number of ice crystal flowers.
As for Miaoha and Xiongshi, they narrowly dodged to the side with their agility, but the aftershocks of the rebounding energy grazed the ground, leaving a deep, scorched ravine.
When the smoke cleared, Hupa remained suspended in place, completely unharmed.
Xia Chi's expression grew increasingly solemn.
They can even withstand a saturation attack of this scale?
This guy's magic ring... isn't it a bit too overpowered?
Not only is its defense perfect, but it can even launch a counterattack, making it virtually invincible.
Are we really going to just stand by and watch the situation collapse?
Xia Chi looked up at the sky, his gaze passing through Hoopana's arrogant figure and landing on Palukia, who was meditating a little further away.
Under Hoopa's cover, Palukia's injuries are healing rapidly.
For legendary spirits of this level, as long as they are not damaged at their core, they can recover in the blink of an eye.
The situation has reached a deadlock, a vicious cycle.
[Dude, this is way too overpowered! Every attack can be deflected without taking damage. Who can stand this? It's unplayable!]
This kind of opponent is the most hopeless; it's not a matter of strength, it's that you can't even touch them!
Don't worry, trust in the prison water, there will be a way!
The comments section usually goes into the "believe in the prison water" segment.
But Xia Chi, who was under direct pressure at the moment, couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock.
Should Groudon and Kyogre engage in close combat?
Putting aside how inefficient such a bulky behemoth is at close range, the key issue is that Kyogre is simply not good at close combat.
Instead, let the offensively strong but defensively weak Meowha and Bear Master engage in close-quarters combat...
If they were even slightly touched by the residual energy of Hoopa's magic ring, they would probably lose most of their lives; the risk was simply too high.
Are there any other methods?
Xia Chi's gaze was fixed on the constantly spinning magic ring of Hupa, and countless tactical scenarios flashed through his mind, only to be rejected one by one.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck my mind like lightning.
Since all the moves released by the Pokémon are intercepted by the magic ring and returned along the same path...
What if the user changes position at the moment the move is executed?
The rebounding attacks miss their mark in mid-air, and the caster then redirects them from a new position, redirecting the energy that would otherwise harm them back towards Hoopa!
Once this crazy idea takes hold, it cannot be stopped.
Although it sounds like dancing on a knife's edge, where a slight misstep could result in being blasted to smithereens by one's own moves, it is currently the only way to bypass the loopholes in the absolute defense logic of the magic ring.
Worth a try.
With this in mind, Xia Chi no longer hesitated.
The power of the waveguide transformed into the clearest command, instantly spreading throughout the entire area.
"Everyone, let's attack Hoopa again! Follow my command!"
Xia Chi's voice echoed in the minds of every partner.
"After unleashing your attack, don't linger. Move immediately, fly close to Hoopa, and guide your attacks to strike him from behind!"
Although the instructions sounded counterintuitive, Xia Chi's companions did not hesitate at all due to their long-standing tacit understanding.
Magic Masked Cat was the first to understand Xia Chi's intention. A hint of excitement flashed in its crimson pupils. It crouched down slightly, gathering its violent grass-attribute energy once again.
The martial arts master let out a deep roar, clenched his fists, and his internal energy surged wildly.
Groudon may not be that smart, but he knows that his good brother would never betray him.
Crimson magma gathered beneath his feet. This time, he deliberately controlled the speed at which the cliff sword condensed, waiting for the perfect moment.
Kyogre was the last to realize the situation. He didn't quite understand why he had to "fight and run," but since it was the two-legged creature's order, he figured he had to do it.
"Now!"
At Xia Chi's command, the energy of the entire arena erupted once again.
Sword of the Precipice!
Freeze Beam!
A myriad of variations!
The water kept hitting!
Four distinctly different torrents of destruction shot toward Hoopa once again.
In the sky, the corners of Hoopana's hideous face were raised high.
Those dark golden eyes were filled with a mocking smile.
Is it that trick again?
Wasn't the lesson we just learned enough?
The six golden magic rings activated instantly, like loyal guardians.
They traced eerie trajectories in the air, precisely blocking the path of every move.
The first magic ring is aimed at the precipice sword.
The second magic ring is aimed at the freezing beam.
The third and fourth magic rings were aimed at the Thousand Flowers and Water Flow attacks.
The fifth and sixth magic rings, as backups, float around the perimeter, ready to deal with any emergencies.
perfect!
Hoopa had even begun to imagine the comical sight of the elves awkwardly dodging the rebounding attacks.
Especially that bulky red one and that big blue fish.
The expression on someone's face after being hit by their own attack must be hilarious, right?
However, just as the attack was about to collide with the magic ring...
Xia Chi's command resounded simultaneously in the minds of every member of the team!
"Now! Scatter!"
next moment.
The four figures that were originally moving in a straight line simultaneously changed their trajectories.
Groudon's massive red body suddenly lunged forward the instant the Precipice Sword was unleashed.
His thick legs stomped wildly on the ground, each step creating a huge crater.
As the freezing beam shot out, Kyogre's massive blue body flapped its wings wildly and charged to the right.
It moved so fast that it left a blue afterimage in the air.
The petite figure of the Magic Masked Cat flipped in mid-air the instant the Thousand Changes Flower was released, and the entire Pokémon rushed towards Hoopa like a shooting star flying in reverse.
For the first time, a look of surprise flashed across Hupa's eyes.
What are they doing?
Instead of retreating to avoid the rebounding attack, why rush forward?
are you crazy?
But the next second, He understood.
The four attacks—Cliffside Sword, Frozen Beam, Thousand Transformations, and Continuous Water Strike—that were swallowed by the Demon Ring and then shot out from it, were...
They shot back along their original trajectories to the locations where the elves had originally been.
However, those positions were empty.
Four attacks, each powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, missed their target.
But at the same time, the four figures had already rushed in front of Hoopa!
What's even more terrifying is that the four attacks that missed their target didn't dissipate; they simply struck empty air!
At this moment, Groudon had already appeared near the landing point of the Precipice Sword.
Those yellow eyes were fixed on the dissipating crimson blade of light, and its claws suddenly opened, energy surging wildly.
Like an invisible hand, it grasped the remaining energy of the dissipating cliff sword!
Then he suddenly flung it away.
The cliffside sword, which should have dissipated, instead drew a huge arc in mid-air.
It immediately changed direction and headed straight for Hoopa's back!
At the same instant, Kyogre appeared near the point of impact of the Ice Beam.
The giant mouth opened, and an invisible force of attraction surged wildly.
The dissipating energy of the frozen beam was abruptly stopped and then violently flung out!
The extremely cold beam of light drew a huge U-shape in the air and headed straight for Hoopa from the side!
The same applies to Magic Masked Cat and Martial Arts Bear Master.
The four rebounded attacks, now guided by the four releasers, simultaneously hurtled towards Hoopa from four entirely new directions!
Hoopa's six magic rings had just completed a rebound and were currently in a brief period of stagnation.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
But the attack was already upon him.
Four attacks hit simultaneously!
The Cliff Sword slashed down on Hoopa's back from behind, and crimson magma energy exploded, leaving a deep, charred crack on the dark gold armor!
The freezing beam slammed into Hoopa's side, the extreme cold energy violently corroding him, ice crystals spreading across the surface of his stomach, making a crackling sound!
A myriad of patterns, water flowing continuously...
Each hit sent a jolt through Hoopa's massive body.
Holy crap! I knew it! I trusted the prison water!
[Using the energy from the rebound attack, they attacked from behind, leaving the magic ring no time to react!]
[Hoopa: ??? This isn't the script!]
【.
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
Hupa hovered in mid-air, panting heavily.
Four shocking wounds were clearly visible on the hideous armor.
Dark golden energy continuously dissipated from the wound.
He lowered his head, his dark golden eyes fixed on the figure on the ground.
Then, He smiled.
That's interesting, so very interesting.
This human...
Hupa took a deep breath.
The six magic rings slowly flew back to my side, rotating much slower than before.
Clearly, the previous round of exertion had taken its toll on Him.
But the fighting spirit in those dark golden eyes only intensified.
Come, humans.
Let me see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!
On the ground, Xia Chi slowly exhaled.
The operation just now seemed simple, but in reality, it was like dancing on a knife's edge.
The timing of each Pokémon's guide to a counter move must be precise to the millisecond.
A little earlier, the energy wasn't yet in a state where it could be guided.
A little later, the energy dissipated completely.
If it's even slightly off-center, the energy it's channeled might even hit your own people.
But in the end, they succeeded.
Xia Chi looked up at the dark golden figure panting in the sky.
Hoopa's absolute defense has shown a flaw.
Xia Chi took a deep breath.
The power of the waveguide once again connected with the thoughts of each partner.
"Everyone, next round, let's go all out!"
