Because after unleashing that attack, WereGarurumon no longer had anything in midair that he could use as a foothold.
The tremendous upward force generated when he kicked off the ground had already disappeared as well.
At this point, WereGarurumon could only fall.
And if he fell straight down like this, his trajectory would be extremely easy to predict.
Articuno anticipated his path.
Then, in the next second, after finishing its charge, it unleashed a powerful Ice Beam directly at WereGarurumon.
When Belotti saw this, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This time, it would definitely hit.
However, something completely unexpected happened.
Just as the attack was about to connect, WereGarurumon's body suddenly moved as though it were a sheet of paper.
With a sudden sideways drift, he lightly avoided the attack!
The sight left everyone stunned once again.
No one had expected WereGarurumon to possess such an ability.
He could actually twist and drift his body like that while in midair.
Again!
Articuno unleashed another Ice Beam, firing once more at WereGarurumon.
But, unexpectedly, WereGarurumon's body once again became as light as a thin sheet of paper.
He drifted to the side and avoided the attack.
What?
Belotti frowned.
He had never imagined things would turn out like this.
There was no other choice.
Belotti made up his mind and ordered Articuno to maintain a continuous barrage.
Ice Beam after Ice Beam blasted outward.
They were like laser beams—precise, fast, and astonishingly powerful.
Articuno itself was an Ice-type Third-tier Legendary, so the sheer amount of energy it possessed was naturally extraordinary.
Every Ice Beam it fired seemed capable of freezing even the air itself.
Unfortunately...
Not a single one of those dozen or so Ice Beams touched WereGarurumon.
Every attack merely brushed past his body before shooting away.
As WereGarurumon descended, his entire body continued drifting in strange, unpredictable motions as though he truly were nothing more than a sheet of paper.
Only after he landed steadily on the ground did Articuno finally stop attacking.
At that moment, the entire venue instantly fell silent.
WereGarurumon had such a powerful, muscular body.
And yet he was capable of movements this light and flexible.
The overwhelming contrast left the spectators speechless once again.
Immediately afterward, deafening cheers and screams erupted throughout the venue.
Only now did everyone finally understand.
No wonder Shiko had chosen to send WereGarurumon into battle.
So this was why.
WereGarurumon possessed such an astonishing ability!
After landing firmly on the ground, WereGarurumon raised his head.
His aura erupted without restraint.
His sharp gaze locked onto Articuno, filled with unmistakable provocation.
Articuno hovered in the air.
Then...
The power throughout its entire body began gathering frantically.
It had already suffered such a disadvantage during their very first exchange.
As a Legendary Pokémon, Articuno naturally could not accept that.
In the next second, the temperature of the surrounding air suddenly plunged by several more degrees.
All of the gathered energy condensed within Articuno's body.
Then—
"Sheer Cold!"
An entire region of space seemed to freeze solid at absolute zero.
It descended directly toward WereGarurumon!
The spectators were shocked to the extreme when they saw it.
Was this the full-power attack of a Third-tier Legendary?
It was absolutely terrifying.
Sheer Cold!
This was an overwhelmingly powerful move capable of instantly knocking an opponent out.
The tremendous energy contained within it could freeze an opponent's blood and vitality in an instant.
Even when unleashed by an ordinary Pokémon, its power was already terrifying enough.
And this was Articuno—
an extraordinarily powerful Third-tier Legendary.
The Sheer Cold it unleashed was practically capable of freezing an enormous area of space solid...
