Chapter 404 Victini: Bouchou, I've fallen for your trap!
In an instant, dozens of emerald green energy seeds ripped through the air like machine gun fire.
Trailing a pale green tail, it shot towards Victini, who had just regained her footing in the air, with a dense and sharp sound of wind breaking through the air.
As Victini saw something green shooting towards him, he instinctively tried to dodge.
But its "battle CPU" is struggling to run again.
Green... Grass attribute?
No, I'm not afraid of Grass-type moves, so why would I dodge them?
Having figured this out, Victini suddenly became bolder. Instead of dodging, he took a deep breath, puffed out his cheeks, and frantically gathered the blazing fire energy in his chest.
"Tini—"
—
It opened its mouth, and a nearly white, blazing pillar of flame erupted out like a volcanic eruption.
Wherever the flames passed, the air distorted, and the remaining emerald green seeds and machine gun bullets were instantly vaporized and annihilated like snowflakes thrown into a furnace, without causing even the slightest obstruction.
Flame jet!
Bictini is just inexperienced, not really stupid.
It also learns and imitates, and understands that it must use the opponent's characteristics and weaknesses to launch a counterattack.
The blazing pillar of fire engulfed the remaining seed barrage and surged unstoppably toward the Magical Masked Cat on the rock pillar below, the intense heat causing the surface of the rubble along the way to soften.
Faced with the oncoming fiery breath, the Magic Masked Cat remained remarkably calm.
After firing the last round of seed machine guns, the [Titan's Resolve] stacks were instantly maxed out, and a powerful sense of strength and solid defense rose from within her.
Immediately, with a slight twist of her waist, just as the flames were about to engulf her, her long legs burst forth with astonishing jumping power, and her entire body leaped lightly to the side and back.
call-
The blazing beam of fire grazed the edge of her flowing hair, melting a crimson dent into the top of the rock pillar she was standing on.
Standing firm on another pile of rubble in the distance, the Magic Masked Cat narrowed its crimson eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing within them.
Admittedly, my speed is somewhat slower than Bictini's.
But that's the speed at which a move is executed, not the speed at which a reaction is made.
By the time Victini's little brain had processed the idea of Fire vs. Grass, Meowha was already prepared to dodge.
The status is now full.
It's time to fight back.
Without further hesitation, the Magic Masked Cat swayed slightly, like a ghostly green phantom blending into the rubble, rapidly approaching in an irregular zigzag pattern.
A deep, dark energy quietly surged from the tips of those sharp claws.
Shadow Claw!
Choosing the Ghost-type [Shadow Claw] instead of the Dark-type move, which is also effective against Psychic-types, Mistress of the Lich King had a deeper reason for doing so.
As a Fire/Psychic type Pokémon, Victini does have quite a few weaknesses, but its Ghost-type moves have a unique advantage.
It is only countered by Dark and Ghost types.
These two attributes are precisely what Victini's skill pool is extremely lacking.
This means that once she switches to the Ghost attribute, Victini will find it extremely difficult to find an effective countermeasure.
as predicted.
In the air, Victini, who was preparing to launch its next attack, keenly sensed the dark energy between the claws of the Magic Mask Cat that made it instinctively feel a little uncomfortable.
Its little brain was once again forced to operate at overclocked speed.
It's black and cool... it's Ghost type... What type is super effective against Ghost... Dark and Ghost itself... Do I know moves of those two types...?
After going through all the procedures, Victini was horrified to discover that she had no way to deal with the ghost-attribute Magic Masked Cat.
This unexpected situation was completely beyond the processing capabilities of its underlying combat code.
Magic Masked Cat has developed an attribute that it cannot effectively control. What should it do?
The disadvantages of lack of experience were now fully exposed.
In a panic, Victini abandoned thinking of complex countermeasures and chose the most direct way: to hide.
It abandoned its intention to retaliate and instead flew high into the air in an attempt to evade.
How could Magic Masked Cat miss this opportunity? Just as Victini was about to take flight, several emerald green vines suddenly shot out from the shadows behind and beside her.
"Tini?"
The vine struck, and Victini struggled desperately, but the vine was extremely tough and she could not break free in a short time.
Just as it was caught in the vines and its movements faltered, the Magic Masked Cat moved.
Using the reverse pull from the vines, she pushed off with her feet, her body shooting forward as if launched by a slingshot.
The right claw, imbued with dark energy, drew a chilling black arc in the air, carrying a soul-ripping coldness, before slamming down heavily on the temporarily bound Victini.
laugh-
The Shadow Claw struck Victini squarely, and ghostly energy quickly seeped into her.
Although the damage is still not very high, it is at least double the counter.
At the same time, the life drain from the two pieces of equipment allowed Magic Mask Cat to suddenly recover a large amount of blood, which finally stopped the bleeding temporarily.
Bictini finally realized what was happening.
Regardless of whether the attributes are favorable or not, we can't keep getting free kills. We should at least fight first, right?
boom-
Intense fire energy erupted from its center, instantly forming a high-temperature hurricane that spread outwards.
The air was instantly heated to the point of distortion and boiling, and a visible orange-red heat wave exploded out in a ring.
Hot air!
A special fire-attribute move that attacks indiscriminately over a wide area.
laugh-
The tenacious vines wrapped around Victini couldn't withstand the intense heat storm, comparable to the inside of a furnace, for even half a second before turning to ashes.
The terrifying heat wave continued unabated, sweeping towards the Magic Masked Cat below like a tsunami, who had just finished its attack and had not yet fully distanced itself!
Even though the Magic Masked Cat reacted extremely quickly, releasing its grip and retreating the instant the heat blast erupted, the area-of-effect attack made it difficult for it to completely evade.
A scorching stream of air swept through, and the Magic Masked Cat felt a slight burning pain on its skin.
What's more troublesome is that the vines were burned and lost their foothold, breaking her original levitation posture, and her body involuntarily fell downwards.
The magical masked cat forcibly twisted its body in mid-air, using its tail to adjust its posture and finally landed relatively steadily on a platform of broken stones. However, its steps wobbled slightly upon landing, revealing the effects of the hot air impact.
Her brows furrowed. Despite lacking elemental advantage, the area-of-effect damage of her [Hot Wind] skill, enhanced by its own elemental bonus, was still not to be underestimated.
We cannot afford to be passively attacked; we must regain control of the game.
Furthermore, you should take advantage of the opponent's "straightforward" fighting style.
A bold plan instantly took shape in Magical Masked Cat's mind.
She steadied her breathing and then began to "quietly" gather energy.
A faint, water-like blue light emanated from her body. Her movements were somewhat covert, as if she were secretly preparing something, but "just right" enough for Victini in the air to detect this energy fluctuation.
As Victini, who had just broken free of the vines, flapped her wings in the air, she immediately caught sight of the familiar azure blue light on the Magic Masked Cat.
Water attribute is the precursor to [Water Flow Combo]!
Bictini's little head instantly came to a conclusion, and she was even a little smug.
This time I won't fall for it. Electricity counters water, so I'll counter with [Lightning Fist]—perfect!
Believing he had seen through his opponent's intentions, Victini's eyes burned with fighting spirit, and he no longer hesitated.
Its small body once again erupted with astonishing energy, the golden lightning even more intense and dazzling than before, and crackling electric snakes coiled around its entire body.
Immediately, it lowered its body, aimed at the Magic Masked Cat below that was charging up a water-type move, and charged down with overwhelming force.
Lightning Fist!
As the dazzling meteor of lightning rapidly approached, a cunning glint appeared in the crimson eyes of the Magic Masked Cat.
Just before Bictini's lightning fist was about to strike, the faint aquamarine aura that had been faking around her vanished like a phantom.
Instead, there is a heavy, steady, earthy yellow light, as if it carries the ancient power of the earth.
Switch attributes to Ground!
Bictini's little head was instantly dumbfounded.
Wait a minute... it's not continuous water flow.
Could it be... that I've fallen for a trap?
Instead of swinging its claws to meet the attack, the Magic Masked Cat slammed its fists, which were filled with immense Ground-type energy, into the already shattered rocky ground beneath its feet like a heavy hammer.
earthquake!
This [earthquake] was no ordinary shockwave; the Magic Masked Cat incorporated the essence of the [One-Strike Style] technique from the Martial Arts Bear Master into it.
The power is concentrated to its extreme, and then explodes at a single point.
Boom—
Centered on the point where her fist landed, terrifying energy seemed to be forcibly gathered and shaped by an invisible force.
Immediately, the earth trembled violently and rose up, and a ferocious earth dragon composed entirely of extremely condensed, earth-yellow ground energy roared and soared into the sky from the crack.
The earth dragon, baring its fangs and claws, with a crushing, overwhelming force, crashed straight into Bictini, who was swooping down.
Most importantly, although Victini is weak to ground, its ability to fly means it is usually not within the range of most ground-type moves.
Especially earthquakes.
But the situation is different now; Victini has taken the initiative.
They walked right into the trap.
"Tini?"
As Victini swooped down, it finally realized something was wrong the moment the earth dragon burst from the ground.
However, the inertia of the dive, coupled with the decisiveness of the move, left it no time to make any effective evasion or change tactics.
In the blink of an eye, the outcome was decided.
boom-
The dazzling golden lightning and the roaring earth-yellow dragon collided head-on without any fancy moves.
The absolute law of attribute restraint is clearly demonstrated at this moment.
The violent lightning energy on Victini's fist vanished as if it had been thrown into the sea when it touched the pure and heavy earth dragon.
The earth dragon, imbued with the essence of the "One Strike Style," struck Victini's petite body squarely.
The terrifying impact sent Bictini flying backward at an even faster speed than when it was diving, crashing violently into a crumbling rock wall that was barely standing in the distance, kicking up clouds of dust and rubble.
Magical Masked Cat slowly withdrew its fist, slightly panting, its gaze fixed firmly on the dust-covered rock wall.
She didn't relax at all; the dark energy between her claws began to flow again—the [Shadow Claw] was poised to strike.
She knew very well that Victini's stamina was terrifying, and although this [earthquake] was heavy, it might not be able to end the match directly.
"Tini..."
A faint, painful groan escaped from the smoke and dust.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of rubble rolling down, and Victini's small figure, covered in dust and scars, struggled out of the crater in the rock wall and took off again, wobbling.
As expected, Victini, as a well-rounded all-around warrior, with its vitality and physical defense, was able to withstand the earthquake.
But its petite body was covered in dust and dirt, and its disordered breathing and wounds indicated that it was not in good condition.
Even so, the little guy's eyes remained focused.
It gazed at the magical masked cat standing ready in the distance, no longer frantically thinking about attribute counters as before.
Bictini understood.
Since I can be outmaneuvered no matter what attribute I use... then I'll use my strongest power, my most primal energy, to overcome skill with brute force!
Even if the Magic Masked Cat changes its type resistance, it can at least receive a type-specific buff.
That's right, the ultimate technique that other Pokémon took a long time to develop after battling Magic Masked Meow was something Victini figured out in just a few minutes.
In a sense, it's a case of the silly elf having a lucky streak.
Bictini hovered in mid-air and slowly raised its head.
At that moment, its V-shaped ears suddenly burst forth with a brilliance more dazzling than the sun.
A terrifying energy fluctuation, chilling to the bone, surged and rose wildly from its center.
The surrounding air heated up wildly again, far exceeding the temperature of the previous [jet flames] and [hot air].
The remaining moisture on the ground evaporated instantly, and the surface of the gravel began to turn red and hot. Even the people watching from afar felt the heat wave.
V-Flame!
The magical masked cat instantly perked up its ears in alarm.
She had also learned the V-Blaze move from Victini, so she was well aware of its terrifying power.
But we cannot back down; this is also an opportunity to break the deadlock.
In a flash, Magic Masked Cat made a decision.
Her energy level shifted rapidly once again, and a blue, water-attribute light instantly enveloped her entire body.
The water kept hitting!
At this moment, Magical Masked Cat, with the advantages of full-level equipment bonuses and attribute counters, transformed into a blue meteor rushing backwards, crashing head-on into the torrent of flames.
The explosive energy of the golden orange and azure burst forth with a deafening roar and light far more terrifying than any previous collision.
The blinding ball of light expanded, forcing everyone to raise their hands to shield their eyes.
Terrifyingly hot steam and violent energy turbulence erupted in all directions, causing Reshiram's barrier to hum violently, and even tiny cracks appeared on its surface.
Thanks to the growth of the Grass-type bond, Magic Masked Cat has seen significant improvements in both offense and defense compared to before.
With the added advantage of elemental advantage, this water-based attack held its own against V-Blazing Flame.
But she had reached her limit. Every water blade was being rapidly evaporated, and her arms were burning with excruciating pain as if her bones were about to crack.
Victini, after unleashing this all-out attack, also entered a brief period of weakness.
The faint golden light surrounding his body almost disappeared, his aura suddenly weakened, and his defensive capabilities dropped drastically.
It's now!
The magical masked cat's eyes flashed with a sharp light as it forcefully withstood the aftershocks and recoil of the explosion, emerging from the still-undissipated energy turbulence at an incredible angle.
Its type instantly switched back to Ghost, and that familiar, deadly dark light shone once more on its right claw.
Shadow Claw!
The side effects of V-Flame significantly reduced Victini's defenses and speed. It saw the approaching dark claw shadow and tried to dodge, but its body was heavy and sluggish, making it unable to react effectively.
laugh-
The shadowy claws struck Victini's wide-open chest with pinpoint accuracy, and the ghostly energy flowed into his body without hindrance.
Hit the vital point!
The light in Victini's eyes quickly dimmed, and the flames and energy fluctuations around her completely dissipated.
His entire body seemed to have been drained of all its strength, and he swayed and fell downwards.
Thud—
With a soft thud, Victini collapsed limply into the rubble, having lost all fighting ability.
