Chapter 252
"... Psychic!"
A purple light wave emanated from the empty air—this time, the opposing Naganadel had no chance to dodge and was hit with full damage.
"...&...@&#@!"
The Naganadel let out a miserable cry. Although one attack was not enough to incapacitate it, its body still plummeted downwards. It finally managed to stabilize itself by violently flapping its wings.
"Here you go!"
Seeing where the opponent had fallen, Qiao Ran did not allow Latias to Pursuit. Their goal was not to Defeat more Ultra Beast; what they needed to do now was to fly to a higher position.
On the other side, Yveltal flapped her enormous wings and flew beside Qiao Ran, using Oblivion Wing and her powerful stamina to clear a path. With her regenerative abilities, she helped Qiao Ran draw most of the firepower.
"..."
Yveltal, who had previously complained a lot, is now silent. Although she has the ability to heal, the damage caused by each Ultra Beast is still transmitted to Qiao Ran through the connection.
Qiao Ran knew perfectly well how much she Bide.
Meanwhile, Reshiram beneath Qiao Ran was already engulfed in flames from its tail turbine engine, with surging flames erupting from behind it, even illuminating its pristine white body.
All the Pokémon are giving it their all.
Fusion Flare!
A massive fireball flew out of Reshiram's mouth, two bright rings of fire spinning in the trajectory of the flames. In legend, this move was the one that burned the land of Unova. However, when it struck several Ultra Beasts, it was like throwing mud into the sea, producing no effect like that night in Hangcheng.
Reshiram is much weaker now than he was back then.
"Damn it..."
Qiao Ran couldn't help but curse inwardly. Why... it's only at times like this that he feels his strength is still insufficient.
"Mo... Momo..."
The Nebby, held in Qiao Ran's arms, also let out a worried sound. Although it had never participated in the battle, as an Ultra Beast, it still knew what had happened and what the current situation was.
In the past few days, it seems that it has stopped smiling.
"..."
Looking at the Nebby in his arms, Qiao Ran gritted his teeth and transferred the Tokiwa Power of Eternal to Reshiram.
Looks like... I won't be able to get a proper rest today...
"Don't worry, leave this to us."
These kinds of battles can be left to the seniors.

The battle in the sky was extremely fierce, with violent explosions occurring frequently. Even the girls on the island who witnessed it felt a jolt in their hearts.
"Is there really no problem with Qiao Ran?"
Lillie was still very worried about Qiao Ran's situation, not only Qiao Ran, but also Nebby, who was with him. During their time together, Nebby had become a companion she cared about very much.
"There's no time to worry about him, we just need to hold our own here!"
Mei commanded her Pokémon to fight the Naganadel in front of her. Due to her type preference, Mei's Poison-type Pokémon did not have much of an advantage when facing most Ultra Beast. Among the three, Mei was the one under the most Naganadel.
Suddenly, a Kartana floated down from the sky, flashing with bright sword light as it attacked Mei.
"...!"
Mei quickly took a step back, but it seemed she was still a little too slow.
Oops!
Just as she thought to herself that something was wrong, a blue figure landed in front of her from the sky.
"Aww...!"
Another sword
A flash of light, and Zacian, biting her Long Sword, leaped over, cutting off the opponent's attack. At the same time, a snow-white figure perched on her head Spit Up out icy, biting wind and snow, freezing the Kartana to the bone.
"..."
Mei took a deep breath and finally calmed down.
"Thanks!"
Mei glanced at the Kartana that had been Whirlwind by the Blizzard with lingering fear, and quickly ordered the Decidueye to follow up with an attack.
"..."
Zacian and Vulpix didn't answer, but nodded slightly, their figures intersecting with Mei's as they flew away into the distance.
Vulpix isn't particularly mobile, but when paired with Zacian, it can create a turret-like effect. Against Pokémon Kartana Vulpix damage.
Furthermore, the presence of the Vulpix compensates for some Zacian's vision. The only disadvantage of fighting while biting the sword is probably that the sword creates some areas that cannot be observed.
Like Vulpix, Mimikyu and other Pokémon have chosen to team up with other highly mobile Pokémon. Although Qiao Ran is not present, as Pokémon with extensive battle experience, they can still fight on their own.
"Ti...!"
Besides Zacian, Zacian roamed around, Dianxi also took the lead at the forefront, using her diamonds to form Iron Defense of defense.
The most outrageous one was the Nihilego, who seamlessly blended into the group of Ultra Beast and then took advantage of the chaos to attack other Ultra Beast. It must be said that her actions did produce very good results. In the end, the two Nihilego with Lillie also joined in.
"... Silvally! Multi-Attack!"
"Zoroark! Dark Pulse!"
Gladion was also commanding his Pokémon in battle, but his gaze kept being drawn to certain Pokémon. If he remembered correctly... those Pokémon were the Pokémon that guy had released earlier, right?
Even though the Trainer is gone, it's still fighting on its own, and it even knows how to coordinate attacks???
At this moment, only two words remained in Gladion's mind—outrageous.
If Pokémon all battled like this, and with such perfect teamwork, then what would be the point of having Trainer???
So, Trainer just some kind of decoration after all?
"..."
Leaning against the cliff face of the Cave, Lusamine quietly watched the battle. In her physical condition, she was no longer able to participate in the fight; her Pokémon was injured and could not contribute much in such a battle.
"So, does that mean I can only be protected by them now...?"
Watching Lillie and Gladion fighting in front of the Cave, Lusamine murmured to herself.
"Faster! Faster!"
In the sky, Qiao Ran's battle continued.
All he can do now is to channel the Tokiwa Power into the bodies of the Pokémon as much as possible, so that they can regain some of their strength.
Even so, Pokémon's energy has its limits, and so does Qiao Ran's energy.
One should press on with one's might, but the momentum will wane with each subsequent attempt, and eventually be exhausted.
They don't have a second chance; this is their only chance to give it their all!
"Blue Flare!"
Powerful blue flames swirled around Reshiram, directly Smack Down several Buzzwole that were about to attack with their fists. Enveloped in blue flames, Reshiram's pure white body exuded a holy beauty, but Qiao Ran could Frisk Reshiram's rapid breathing.
Even legendary Pokémon feel fatigue and pain, Yveltal and Latias beside them were no exception; they were both at their limit.
Going against the tide of Ultra Beast, getting this far is already quite an achievement.
"Just a little bit more! Just a little bit more!"
Qiao Ran crossed his hands and, using the technique he had previously tested, combined the Aura Power and the Tokiwa Power, launching it like a Spirit Bomb. Along the way, he used this method to Yveltal and Latias, but this also took a huge toll on him.
But Qiao Ran had long forgotten all of that; he only wanted to reach the edge of the crack as quickly as possible.
"Mo..."
Looking at Qiao Ran's face, Nebby seemed to sense the beliefs and thoughts in Qiao Ran's heart. In his arms, it secretly gathered its own power.
During this time, it learned about everything around it like a child, and it also learned different things from Qiao Ran and the others.
The Child of the Stars, Cosmog, is Ultra Beast with immense potential.
At this moment, its gaze was fixed on the huge crack in front of it, from which strange energy was constantly flowing out.
So big...
Can I... turn it off...?
Nebby seemed to hesitate for a moment, but when it turned its gaze to Qiao Ran's location again, its eyes gradually became firm.
"..."
The first thing it learned was to always
Don't give up.
No matter the outcome, you have to give it a try!
At least... we can't let them down!
