Chapter 456 The War Begins! Strike First!
Duan Guanjun's eyes, which seemed to have been tempered by ice, were fixed on the pale, crushing hell that was looming over him.
It was not a creation of nature, but an extension of the will of Kyurem, a manifestation of destruction.
The creaking and cracking sounds of the ice field moving across it were like the ferocious laughter of countless frost behemoths grinding their teeth and sucking blood, piercing through the sea breeze and crashing heavily into the hearts of every defender of the line.
“The scale… far exceeds what we could have controlled.” Evan’s voice was slightly dry.
Although he is a researcher, he has also seen many big events by following Duan Guanjun.
However, they also felt immense pressure in the face of this offensive that used the power of nature as its weapon.
The densely packed Ice-type Pokémon figures, under the gray sky, resembled a surging white tide; their sheer number was enough to take one's breath away.
"Constructing an ice field for advance... Good tactic!" Duan Guanjun snorted coldly, but his voice was as steady as a rock, instantly suppressing the subtle commotion caused by the approaching ice field.
"They want to use the icy environment to offset the advantages of our painstakingly built 'mudflats' and directly launch their ice army onto the ground! Kyurem... they have quite the appetite!"
He suddenly waved his hand, his voice booming like thunder across the defensive line: "Frontline troops, listen up—target, the main ice field with the greatest movement ahead! Firepower coverage, target the ice field base! Smash it! Sink it!"
Duan Guanjun's roar was like a battle horn, instantly igniting the entire South China Sea defense line.
The convergence of energy shone everywhere, brewing a devastating attack.
However, before this overwhelming long-range firepower could be unleashed, a faster and sharper blade had already torn through the heavy air!
"Commandos! Charge with me—!"
A clear yet powerful female voice pierced through the howling sea breeze.
If Zhang Heng were here, he would definitely recognize her as Yi Shu's aunt, who was also the Heavenly King Ou Yuhua who had once guided Mudskipper and wanted to take Zhang Heng as his apprentice.
She is the Water-type Heavenly King of South China, known for her steadiness and resilience. Although she is not among the top eight Heavenly Kings, her strength should not be underestimated. Riding a magnificent and extraordinary warrior eagle, she charged out of the defense line like an arrow released from a bow!
She wore a dark blue combat suit specially made by the Alliance, her long hair fluttering in the sea breeze, her eyes sharp as blades, pointing directly at the edge of the slowly approaching moving ice field, the Difang Sea Lion like a floating fortress and the Ice Rock Monster like a moving glacier!
"Screech—!!" The warrior eagle beneath her let out a long cry that pierced the clouds and shattered rocks, responding to its master's fighting spirit.
Following closely behind were more than thirty elite trainers, all riding various Flying-type Pokémon!
Pidgeotto, Starhawk, Corviknight, Altaria... they formed a high-speed aerial spearhead! Their target was crystal clear.
Before the main firepower shakes the base of the ice field, remove these outer "nails" and barriers to weaken the overall defense of the ice field!
With a flick of her wrist, Ou Yuhua unleashed a dazzling evolutionary light from a keystone between her fingers!
"Gyarados, answer my call! Mega Evolution—!"
A torrent of water materialized out of thin air beside her, and a gigantic Gyarados roared into existence, instantly enveloped in the light of evolution!
As the light faded, the even more ferocious and imposing Mega Gyarados hovered above the sea, its crimson eyes fixed on a Deino below that was trying to raise its head and unleash an Ice Beam!
"Mega Gyarados, Flamethrower! Target: Deinonychus!"
Ou Yuhua's command was decisive and precise. Although Mega Gyarados only has 70 Special Attack, it is an absolute physical attacker. It is at a disadvantage in ranged attacks and can only use high-power moves to open a path of blood.
Mega Gyarados opened its massive jaws, not with a Water-type move, but by gathering a raging, scorching flame energy. A huge "大"-shaped flame erupted, carrying the force of scorching rivers and boiling seas, and slammed into the group of Deinos huddled together at the edge of the Icefield!
"Roar—!!" At the same time, a Swamp King beside her, which looked simple and honest but had an unusually determined look in its eyes, also moved.
It has no ability to fly, yet it stands steadily on a floating ice floe that has been temporarily reinforced and raised by Ground-type Pokémon behind it.
It took a deep breath, its chubby body suddenly swelled up, its fists clenched, and its fiery fighting energy gathered wildly!
"Swamp King, True Qi Fist!" Ou Yuhua's voice rang out simultaneously.
Swamp King's short arms suddenly slammed forward! A condensed, tangible fist of true energy, accompanied by a piercing whistle, struck precisely in front of the area where Mega Gyarados's Flamethrower was about to hit!
"BOOM—!!!"
A fierce explosion and a powerful impact erupted simultaneously!
The raging inferno instantly engulfed several Dionysian sea lions. The terrifying heat of the flames caused the solid ice to melt and evaporate rapidly, producing a piercing hissing sound. The sea lions' painful roars were drowned out by the deafening explosion.
The unparalleled penetrating power of the True Qi Fist was like a heavy hammer hitting the ice, not only sending the largest Dianthus sea lion flying backward.
It crashed into the ice field, creating a large crater, and the shockwave shattered a large area of floating ice, making several ice monsters lose their footing!
"Assault team! Attack sequence: Fire, Melee, Steel skills! Rotate them! Target: Ice-type cluster, prioritize eliminating threat targets!"
Not only could Ou Yuhua quickly coordinate her assault team during combat, but she could also clearly convey her orders to each team member through the communicator before they quickly threw themselves into their own battles.
"Mega Gyarados! Hyper Beam!"
Mega Gyarados opens its gaping maw and unleashes a Hyper Beam!
Like a red meteor falling to earth, it explodes at the edge of the ice field, creating a heat wave vortex with a diameter of 100 meters.
The ice on the surface of the Ice Rock Monster cracked with a piercing sound under the high temperature, and the three lower-level individuals were instantly melted into puddles emitting white smoke.
"Flame Ray!" "Close Combat!" "Freezing Beam!" The light of various skills intertwined on the battlefield.
A trainer's Infernape leaped into the air, its flames coalescing into a giant fist, which slammed heavily into the Ice Golem's shell.
Another trainer's Shellder unleashed countless ice spikes, precisely blocking Delicious's escape route.
In the center of the battlefield, a giant sea lion, as large as a warship, roared, its body suddenly thickening with ice, summoning countless ice spikes to rain down.
Ou Yuhua's eyes flashed like lightning as she quickly spotted the leader of the enemy's Diantha tribe. Although they were the vanguard assault team, they had to kill the enemy's high-ranking leader Pokémon to boost their morale. This was the first battle!
She swiftly carried out her decapitation strike!
"Mega Gyarados, Crunch!"
"Warrior Eagle, Air Slash!"
Mega Gyarados's sharp teeth shattered the ice spikes, and the flying ice crystals collided with the wind blades cut by Brave Eagle, creating a burst of water mist that obscured the entire sky.
The leader of the Diantar Sea Lion roared and slammed its fist on the ice, sending a barrage of ice spikes raining down on Gyarados and Braviary, only to have them instantly vaporized by the intense heat upon contact with their bodies.
"Mega Gyarados close in!" Ou Yuhua's Quagsire unleashed a torrent of muddy water, disrupting the trajectory of the Ice-type move. Gyarados seized the opportunity to break through the waves and charge forward.
It gathers Dark-type energy in its mouth and shatters the Ice Shield that Deino is so proud of.
The behemoth retreated in pain, and ice rapidly spread beneath it, attempting to freeze Gyarados's movements.
The Warrior Eagle suddenly swooped down, and "Brave Bird Attack" tore open the gap in the Dire Tooth Sea Lion's defenses.
Gyarados seized the opportunity, its sharp teeth wreathed in dark energy, and plunged fiercely into the giant beast's neck.
The Direo struggled to create icy waves, but was bitten by the neck by Mega Gyarados. With a cracking sound of bones breaking, the leader's massive body crashed into the sea, the splashing waves carrying lingering Dark-type energy.
This efficient and courageous attack greatly boosted the morale of the rear defenses!
"Good! Well done!" A glint flashed in Duan Guanjun's eyes. Ou Yuhua's frontline tactics and morale were boosted, and she used them with consummate skill.
This skillful and powerful battle deeply shocked and ignited the spirit of Min Fangxin behind the defensive line.
Watching the figure traversing the ice plains and tearing apart the icy defenses with elemental power, an unprecedented surge of adrenaline rushed to my head.
"Warrior Eagles!" He slapped the official backup Warrior Eagle beside him. "Let's go too!"
"Screech—!" The warrior eagle cried out in response, carrying him soaring into the sky!
"Fang Xin!" Min Hui immediately spotted him from behind. His experience in the Giant Nest made him instantly understand his brother's determination.
Torn between worry and pride, he ultimately didn't stop it. Instead, he mustered all his strength and roared at the rising figure, "You brat! Come back alive! Don't bring shame to the Min family—!"
Min Fangxin didn't turn around, but waved his hand forcefully, his voice filled with unwavering determination: "Don't worry, brother!"
Just as he was piloting the Warrior Eagle at high speed toward the gap where ice and fire intertwined, a sudden change occurred!
"Jie——!"
"Kura—!"
A strange, deep, eerie purple flame rose from both sides of Minfangxin's body! It was a FireBeast in its Emerald form and a Marowak in its Alolan form.
As if stepping out of the netherworld, they instantly emerged from his shadow and hovered steadily on his left and right sides!
Most Ghost-type Pokémon possess the ability to fly, because the Ghost type itself represents the power of illusory spirits.
Purple-white flames burned on them, emanating an eerie aura that intertwined coldness and heat, forcing back the surrounding chill.
"Infernomon, spray flames!"
"Garararar, Shadow Bone!"
Min Fangxin's eyes were fixed intently on an ice rock monster in front of him, which had been badly injured by the assault team and was trying to reassemble its cold energy!
"Jeh!" The purple and white flames on the back of the Emerald Fire Beast surged, and a torrent of scorching flames condensed with ghostly energy shot out!
"Kura!" Garagara brandished his bone club, which was burning with purple flames, and a huge bone club phantom wrapped in ominous ghostly energy crashed down from the sky!
Two unique attacks merged into the torrent of the assault team, crashing heavily onto that pale, icy continent!
"Eh-"
The clouds over Kyurem began to churn, and the icebergs began to move forward, once again producing that teeth-grinding sound of shifting.
As if summoned by some force, countless Ice-type Pokémon abandoned their resistance and retreated toward the core of the ice field.
Ou Yuhua cautiously recalled his Pokémon, watching the retreating figures, alarm bells rang in his mind—this was clearly not a rout, but more like a premeditated lure to a deeper trap.
"Withdraw to the defensive line immediately!" she shouted into the communicator. "Maintain formation to prevent a surprise attack!"
