"Lucario, move them all to a safe place."
Roy glanced at Henry, Aihara Takeshi, and Master Alora, who had been captured by the singing, along with their Pokémon.
Obviously, those who had lost their ability to fight would only get in the way if they stayed here.
It wasn't their fault.
Although Meloetta's singing authority wasn't the strongest among Mythical Pokémon, as long as it operated within the field it could touch, it was absolute!
No matter how many Pokémon came—tens of thousands, or even hundreds of millions—as long as they hadn't reached the Elite level, wherever the singing could reach, they would inevitably be controlled by it.
The only exception was the mighty Aura wielder.
[I understand.]
Lucario nodded. Although it was free from control, its fighting spirit had been greatly weakened amidst the singing, and it could only display forty percent of its strength. Obviously, it couldn't help in the battle.
The best it could do was send their allies to a safe place.
Lucario darted forward, picked up the three Trainers at the same time, and escaped from the altar.
Roy also used his Poké Balls to recall Mimikyu and Blastoise.
"Kommo-o, I'm counting on you."
"Roar!"
Kommo-o responded with a low growl.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Roy had commanded a completely unfamiliar Pokémon in battle.
It reminded him of rental battles.
Roy took a deep breath, cleared away distracting thoughts, and communicated with Kommo-o using the power of Aura.
Their minds met, conveying each other's abilities, tactics, and trump cards, forming a mutual understanding.
At the same time, Caroline took the lead in launching an attack.
"Mega Evolution—"
Without hesitation, she directly activated the Key Stone's resonance.
The light of evolution emerged from Gardevoir's body, and in an instant, it entered its Mega form.
Majestic and vast psychic energy emerged from its slender body, forming an invisible mental storm!
Psychic!
What blocked this psychic force was another equally massive mental power.
The source of this power was a Pokémon that stood on two feet, wore a shell crown on its head, and had a dull expression.
Slowking.
Morey's strongest Pokémon.
Top Elite-level.
The two mental forces collided together on equal footing, causing space itself to scream silently. Several faint cracks emerged like a spider web.
"Tsk..." Morey clicked his tongue.
The secrets of Mega Evolution were still being studied by all countries, yet here it was being used by a high-level trainer from China.
Caroline was just a newcomer to the Elite level. Gardevoir was far from developing the power of "Elite" to its limit, yet with the power of Mega Evolution, it could surpass his Slowking in strength.
True.
If it weren't for Meloetta's singing constantly weakening Mega Gardevoir's fighting spirit, Slowking's mental power wouldn't be able to compete at all.
"Heh, so this is Mega Evolution..." Morey sneered. It would only be a matter of time before they fully grasped the power of a "God" and took the secret of Mega Evolution for themselves.
While the two ace Pokémon clashed, the rest of the Pokémon weren't idle either.
Both were Psychic-type Elites. The two had long been familiar with the use of Psychic-type moves, and even some of their Pokémon were of the same species.
In other words, it was impossible to rely on variations in moves to deceive the opponent.
The battle between Psychic users was a battle of mental power!
Two Sigilyph stared at each other in the sky, their expressions blank, but they had already struck each other with Psybeam and were fighting desperately in the mental space.
Solrock and Lunatone—Solar Beam and Lunar Dance—their psychic powers like positive and negative poles distorted space, and a singularity like a black hole emerged.
With the power of dreams, Hypno entered the dream world together with Caroline's Musharna.
The other Pokémon were also engaged in bizarre and unpredictable confrontations.
"As expected of the Psychic Queen..." Morey murmured in a low voice.
In terms of mental power, with a deeper foundation and Meloetta's singing support, Morey's Pokémon undoubtedly had an absolute advantage.
But the current situation was evenly matched.
The reason was simple.
Caroline's assistance was particularly important.
Her psychic power was so strong that she could boost several Elite-level Pokémon at the same time, doubling their strength.
For a "human being," Caroline having such powerful mental abilities was abnormal.
But whether it was Mega Evolution or mental enhancement, both were explosive methods. How long could they last?
"Meloetta," Morey said coldly. "What are you doing? Have you forgotten that if we fail, she will definitely die? Or do you want 'her' to die?"
Meloetta's body trembled, and the guilt on its face grew deeper.
In the next instant, the melody that filled the entire space suddenly changed!
A haunting and beautiful rhythm reverberated.
Relic Song.
Meloetta's signature move.
The moment this song was sung, a sudden change occurred on the battlefield!
Mega Gardevoir's mind was agitated, and its mental power was greatly reduced, becoming completely suppressed by Slowking's psychic energy.
The same phenomenon appeared in Caroline's other Pokémon, and the situation presented a complete disadvantage.
Not only that, the Pokémon who had originally been entranced by the singing and had no intention of fighting suddenly showed ferocious intent.
Aihara Takeshi's Pokémon were the first to be unable to resist their emotions and be manipulated by the song.
Emboar opened its eyes, which were completely bloodshot. Its fist burned with flames as it slammed toward Caroline's back.
Fire Punch!
If Caroline, who was focused on boosting her Pokémon, was hit by this attack, she would definitely die.
But at that moment, a fist covered in steel scales caught Emboar's hand.
Emboar's fist, which contained explosive flames and was capable of blasting through mountain peaks, was blocked so easily that not even a strong wind was stirred up.
Emboar looked up at Kommo-o, who was blocking it. It opened its mouth furiously, and the moment it let out a roar...
A fist struck it hard on its pig head.
Boom!
Emboar's heavy body flew backward and hit the edge of the altar, shaking the entire ground.
Immediately, Emboar's body collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud.
An ordinary punch had made it lose its fighting ability.
Kommo-o withdrew its fist. The dragon didn't say much.
The rest of Aihara Takeshi's Pokémon—Toxicroak, Heracross, Hitmonchan—all rushed forward.
"Mach Punch," Roy said coldly.
Kommo-o obeyed the instruction, and with its proud uppercut, knocked all the Pokémon that rushed forward into the air.
The unpretentious absolute power made the scene of "one punch per child" appear extremely absurd.
In just a few seconds, Aihara Takeshi's team, which was considered first-class at the Professional level, was wiped out by Kommo-o.
At this moment, both Henry's and Alora's Pokémon could no longer resist the power of Relic Song.
Alora was also proficient in Psychic abilities, and his Medicham, who manipulated special yogic powers, mobilized all the Pokémon's psychic energy in the form of Psyshock toward Kommo-o.
The attack came sweeping in!
The Dragon-type Pokémon headed by Garchomp all entered an Outrage state and rushed toward Kommo-o furiously!
Dragon Rush!
Dragon Claw!
Breaking Swipe!
Dragon Tail!
Psychic and Fighting.
From an attribute standpoint, Kommo-o was at a complete disadvantage.
But it showed an excited smile instead.
"Outrage—!"
The power of a berserk dragon erupted from Kommo-o.
This was the power of Outrage, enough to make it lose its mind.
But at this time, Kommo-o experienced for the first time that this kind of Outrage power could be so gentle, completely controlled by itself!
And what caused all of this was...
"The power of the dragon?!"
Morey's pupils shrank as he looked at the purple energy emerging from Roy's body in disbelief.
Kommo-o smiled happily and manipulated the power of Outrage to execute its signature move in an instant!
Clanging Scales!
The scales of Kommo-o trembled, and the violent power of Outrage surged out in the form of sound.
Purple dragon-type sound waves swept in all directions, centered on Kommo-o.
Garchomp, Medicham, Dragonite—twelve attacking Professional-level Pokémon were all washed away by the sound wave in an instant!
After releasing the astonishing Clanging Scales, Kommo-o's momentum became even more impressive.
At the cost of reducing its health, it improved its ability values in all aspects.
This was the effect of Clanging Scales.
The worse its condition, the stronger Clanging Scales would be. Kommo-o was a dragon that thrived in adversity!
"Aura Sphere!" As soon as Roy finished speaking, cyan light appeared on his body, and the two powers of Aura and Dragon complemented each other.
Kommo-o clasped its fists together, condensing a massive Aura Sphere.
Yes.
Kommo-o was also one of the very few Pokémon who could learn Aura Sphere, and it had cultivated it to the extreme over thousands of years. It blasted the Pokémon controlled by the song with an Aura Sphere fused with enormous Fighting-type energy!
Boom—!
The energy storm swept through, knocking the twelve Pokémon into a stunned state. Kommo-o stepped forward, and its steel fists swung continuously like lightning!
Close Combat!
A set of fierce and swift punches blasted out, and twelve Professional-level Pokémon crashed to the ground.
"Roar—!"
Aura and Fighting, Dragon and Outrage... In thousands of years, Kommo-o had never encountered such a perfectly suited Trainer. It enjoyed this battle immensely, wagging its tail happily and letting out an uplifting dragon cry!
"Top Elite..."
Seeing the perfectly coordinated pair of Trainer and Totem Dragon, Morey's face turned dark as water. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and murmured:
"An unexpected variable..."
