Chapter 367: The New Northeast Elite Four?
[Sirfetch'd]
Gender: Male
Level: 97 (Champion)
Type: Fighting
Ability: Scrappy (Normal and Fighting moves can hit Ghost types.)
"Quick Attack!!!"
Sirfetch'd moved first, exploding into motion.
"DA-CONG!!!! —"
The knight moved with startling velocity. Holding its leek shield in one hand and its leek lance in the other, it charged through the snow, leaving a wake of swirling white behind it.
"Ice Beam!!"
"YOOOO!!!! —"
Mega Froslass raised a hand. A jagged beam of concentrated frost energy shot toward the charging duck.
Sirfetch'd's footwork was fluid and unpredictable. It performed a low roll, the beam whistling over its head, and continued its charge without losing momentum.
Mega Froslass didn't let up. The Ice Beam swept across the field, tracing Sirfetch'd's path and flash-freezing the ground into a skating rink of solid ice.
"Smash through it with your shield!!"
"DA-CONG!!!! —"
Sirfetch'd let out a sharp cry and hurled its shield forward.
A metallic sheen covered the leek shield—Iron Defense had turned the plant matter into reinforced steel.
BANG!!!! —
The shield spun like a buzzsaw, colliding with the Ice Beam and shattering the energy.
The shield's trajectory acted as a temporary buffer, buying Sirfetch'd the split second it needed to reach melee range. It lunged at Mega Froslass.
"Brick Break!!! —"
Under the Scrappy ability, the Fighting-type strike was no longer useless against the Ghost-type specter.
Mega Froslass didn't flinch. A chunk of ice appeared in its palm instantly.
Ice Shard!!!
The shard expanded with supernatural speed, forming a thick wall of ice directly in front of the Ghost.
CRASH!!! —
Deprived of its shield, Sirfetch'd gripped its lance with both hands and chopped down. The heavy leek-sword slammed into the ice wall.
The wall disintegrated into a thousand shards, but the delay was enough. Mega Froslass had drifted backward, resetting the distance.
There was a Level 1 difference between them, but the Mega Evolution gave Froslass a Speed stat that Sirfetch'd couldn't match.
Sirfetch'd didn't pursue immediately. It raised a hand, and the spinning shield—as if possessing a mind of its own—curved through the air and returned to its grasp.
"Icy Wind!!"
Mega Froslass waved a hand, and a freezing gale swept toward the duck. The wind was so cold it promised to turn blood to slush.
"Swords Dance!!! —"
Instead of fleeing the wind, Sirfetch'd held its ground. It began to spin its lance and shield with such ferocity it became a living whirlwind.
This was no ordinary Swords Dance. The rotation generated a localized air shield, creating a centrifugal force that deflected the Icy Wind outward, keeping the core temperature around the Pokémon stable.
"Blizzard!"
Seeing the wind fail, Rainey immediately ordered the ultimate upgrade.
"Brave Bird!!!"
Sirfetch'd had completed its dance. Facing a storm that blanketed the entire field, it chose to punch through.
Even without wings, the Pokémon channeled the kinetic energy of the Brave Bird into its lance, glowing with blue-white energy as it rocketed toward the ghost.
"Poltergeist!!!"
Facing the charging knight, Mega Froslass's expression remained indifferent.
It waited until the lance was mere inches away before activating its most sinister Ghost-type move.
Poltergeist: A move that telekinetically controls the opponent's held items to attack them.
Since Sirfetch'd's shield and lance were considered "items," they were prime targets.
Mega Froslass's eyes flashed. Instantly, a massive surge of spectral energy flooded Sirfetch'd's weapons.
"DA-QIANG!!!" (Big Spear!)
Sirfetch'd gasped in horror. The lance in its hand suddenly felt alive—it twisted violently in its grip, turning against its master's will.
The torque was so sudden it jerked Sirfetch'd off its Brave Bird trajectory.
Instinctively, the duck let go, but the lance didn't fall. It hovered in mid-air, spinning around to point its sharp tip directly at its former owner.
Sirfetch'd raised its shield to block, but the shield too betrayed him. It flipped over, leaving the duck's chest completely exposed.
THUD!!!! —
"DA-CONG!!!! —"
Sirfetch'd let out a pained cry as it was blasted backward.
As a 110-power Ghost move, Poltergeist dealt catastrophic damage. To be hit with your own high-tier weapons while defenseless was a fatal blow.
Sirfetch'd skidded across the snow, coming to a rest with its eyes spinning. It was out.
The shield and lance fell into the snow beside it, no longer glowing.
"Sirfetch'd is unable to battle! Froslass wins the round!!"
Strong!!! This Froslass is incredible, Kenji thought.
As the junior member of the Elite Four, Rainey was proving that even the "weakest" seat was a mountain of power. This Froslass looked like it would hit Level 99 within a year or two.
Li Xisheng's expression was as cold as the arena. His second-strongest Pokémon had been dismantled with ease. And Mega Froslass hadn't taken a single scratch.
He recalled his knight.
"Go!! Gallade!!"
The Blade Master hit the snow, letting out a sharp, focused cry. This was the final battle.
