Chapter 270

Everyone who witnessed this Monster couldn't help but swallow hard. Acerola and Modan, having already seen it once, were also shocked that it would continue to grow larger. Mei, who had already faced Gigantamax Pokémon in Galar, was equally astonished.

This size... even compared to some Gigantamax Pokémon, is...

They're about evenly matched, aren't they?

Moreover, unlike Gigantamax Pokémon that obtain their bodies through Gigantamax Energy, this Ultra Beast "grew" to this extent on its own. The differences between them are simply incomparable.

This is difficult to handle.

"..."

Qiao Ran also sensed how troublesome their opponents were this time. However, since they were still at a distance and the enemy hadn't discovered them yet, this situation actually presented an opportunity for their group.

"Um."

Following the battle strategy agreed upon at the beginning, the group exchanged glances and then dispersed, forming pairs and dispersing to different locations. When facing a giant enemy, they should learn from the Galar's battle pattern—if they gathered together, they would easily become targets for the gigantic Pokémon.

Accompanying Qiao Ran was Lillie, who was slightly weaker. Having her by his side was the best choice for balancing their strengths. The remaining two groups were Mei and Mizuki, and Modan and Acerola, both of whom were basically capable of handling their respective situations.

"Bang."

Qiao Ran, carrying Lillie, carefully traversed the ruins. He recalled several of the larger Pokémon, leaving only the petite Vulpix and Mimikyu by his side. As for Lillie, both Nihilego could cling to her body without any burden due to their light size. Most importantly, these pure white parasites actually quite liked leaning against people.

The other two groups stopped when they got close enough, while Qiao Ran's group used his Aura Power to nimbly bypass the Guzzlord's detection range.

Moreover, the other party seemed to be enjoying the food in front of him and had not noticed Qiao Ran's movements, which created a favorable opportunity for his actions.

However, as the distance closed, and they were only a few dozen meters apart, the other party seemed to have Frisk something. Not only did they stop what they were doing, but they also slowly began to move their body.

That enormous, mountain-like body turned towards Qiao Ran.

"Qiao Ran!" Lillie's urgent voice rang in Qiao Ran's mind.

"I know!"

Now!

In an instant, all the Poké Ball on Qiao Ran's waist opened, and countless Pokémon rushed out of them.

At the very center, a Pokémon made of pink diamonds displays its unique form.

Dianxi! Mega Evolution!

Qiao Ran gripped the Key Stone at his chest and called out Dianxi's name.

In the blinding light, their powers merged back into one.

Pink Fairy Type skills are also gradually brewing in Dianxi's hands.

"The Moon Power!!"

The group had been preparing for this surprise attack for a long time.

The countless Pokémon around Qiao Ran, along with the Pokémon sent out by Lillie, all used their skills, hurling them at Guzzlord's body as if they were free.

"We'll make our move too!"

Mei, Mei were further away, also saw the attack launched by Qiao Ran and the others; this was the signal for them to make their move.

Meanwhile, Modan and Acerola on the other side also released all their Pokémon at the same time, just as perfectly in sync.

"Dianxi! The Moon Power!!"

Pure pink energy gathered in front of Dianxi, greatly amplifying the power of Fairy Type skills released by the Fairy type Dianxi. Similarly, Zacian had already Bite her Sacred Sword and entered attack mode, pink energy dancing on her blade.

"Superior!"

For Qiao Ran and his Pokémon, this tacit understanding no longer required further communication. The moment he swung his hand, all the attacks were already gathered and charged straight towards Guzzlord's back.

"Boom!!!!"

Countless energies rained down on the back of this behemoth. If it were just an ordinary Pokémon, it probably wouldn't have lasted even a second. However, this was a terrifying beast, and the attacks only caused a few raindrops to splash onto its body.

Even so, the sudden impact still caused the enormous Ultra Beast to let out a painful howl, and a sound like hell came from its terrifying maw.

It was Rage.

"Call--"

Its body suddenly inhaled deeply, and then blue light began to gather in its massive maw, as if a door to Otherworld had been suddenly opened—but it wasn't a door at all, it was merely a mixture of energy—an attack about to be unleashed!

Everything around it was sucked into its mouth, even the surrounding gravel and some tiny, invisible impurities were compressed into the highly concentrated energy. Then—at the moment when everything reached its peak, the light exploded.

"Boom!!!!!"

From its towering body, a blue Energy Beam nearly ten meters in diameter suddenly erupted. It didn't aim at any location; as if it were wantonly unleashing its Rage, it fired this terrifying attack forward.

Dragon Pulse!

The enormous beam of light, like a sharp spearhead, directly struck the area in front of it.

A semi-circular opening appeared in the earth, and then—after scouring a distance of nearly a hundred meters—it shot directly into the sky, tearing through the clouds above.

The heavens and earth seemed to tremble, and Qiao Ran could even feel the ground beneath his feet groaning.

What kind of Monster is this?

A deep-seated fear began to spread through his chest.

Qiao Ran had no other thoughts in his mind; he only wanted to know what this thing had gone through and why it had become such a terrifying sight.

Upon opening Rotom's screen, it couldn't even see the other party's level, something that had never happened before. Perhaps it was because the other party didn't come from this world and was in a rather special state.

Qiao Ran didn't know the real reason, but this was the only deduction he could make. In any case, he was prepared to win this battle, whether for the residents of Po Town or for the children of the Aether House. He had to win.

We must reclaim this land beneath our feet and drive these invasive alien species back to where they belong.

"Qiao Ran!"

Amidst the billowing dust, Lillie looked at Qiao Ran beside her. Their location hadn't been greatly affected by the Dragon Pulse, but they couldn't immediately ascertain the situation of the others.

"It's alright, Mei and Mei are hiding very well, just over there with Acerola and Uncle Modan."

Qiao Ran's gaze grew increasingly serious.

"We can't worry about anyone else right now; Defeat that thing is the most important thing!"

He took Lillie's hand and continued moving.

Their bodies are much smaller than the Guzzlord, but they also have a huge advantage. As can be seen from the attack just now, the Guzzlord often has to rely on its huge mouth to launch an attack. As long as you avoid its front, you can theoretically avoid most of its attacks.

And while they have this time, they can continue to wear each other down.

"Dianxi!"

"Zacian!"

At this point, Dianxi and Zacian became Qiao Ran's top choices for main damage dealers. The four-fold advantage of Fairy type Pokémon would significantly boost their damage output. Not to mention, Zacian had a lot of experience dealing with Dynamax Pokémon —although she had never faced Guzzlord before, the two should theoretically be similar.

As for the remaining Pokémon with Dragon-type and Ice-type Pokémon on Qiao Ran's side, they can also produce good results in attacks. The most important thing is that he has quite a lot of these Pokémon.

Qiao Ran's attack once again caused Guzzlord to let out a painful cry, and a Stench surrounded it. Meanwhile, in several other directions, the trainees were also giving it their all. Even Guzma, who was fighting alone, released all of its Bug-type Pokémon and charged towards Guzzlord.

"I, the great one, can win too!"

Although the insects are very small, when there are enough of them, they can still build a strong fortress. In front of this behemoth, every Trainer is a small insect, but they have come here to Defeat it.

"Golisopod! X-Scissor!!!"

Green Bug-type energy swirled around the Golisopod's arm, and the massive Golem Pokémon, braving its tough armor, charged forward.

Its claws drew a cross shape, leaving two deep gashes on the Guzzlord's body.

"It works!"

Guzma's spirits lifted instantly, but when he looked up, the Monster was still as huge as a small Small Mountain. His attack had only managed to cut a small gash in its skin.

The other party didn't even let out a scream, nor did they react in the slightest.

"Hateful!"

Guzma called out to the Pokémon beside him once again.

He'll eventually teach this thing a lesson.

Don't ignore me!

"I'm Guzma, the great one!"

The larger the Pokémon, the more difficult it is to defeat.

To support such a massive body, the opponent must possess immense stamina. Most importantly, the opponent's casually unleashed skills can rival or even surpass the power of any of our Pokémon. Even though they had dispatched so many Trainer, they still felt overwhelmed when facing this Guzzlord.

"Lillie, let's Encore!"

"Um!"

In the midst of this chaotic battle, Qiao Ran was unable to give any instructions to Mei Mei, who were further away. He could only use his advantage of possessing the Aura Power to crawl in a safer place and attack the Guzzlord.

"Roar roar roar roar roar!!!"

A furious Growl erupted from the Guzzlord's mouth. It howled in pain and unleashed a powerful skill once more. Blue Dragon Energy spread from its body, and this time, it turned its massive maw around, allowing the light to sweep across a large area.

"Boom!!!"

The ground shook once more, and the blue light spear, like a scalpel, sliced away a chunk of the ground.

Qiao Ran was startled by the other party's sudden movement and quickly grabbed Lillie beside him, rolling away to avoid the flying pebbles.

Damn it.

Qiao Ran's expression was rather grim. As expected of Monster that gave Acerola and Modan such a headache, even though its attacks were so slow and they managed to dodge them, the aftershocks of those attacks were sometimes enough to deliver a fatal blow.

On the other side, Acerola and Modan also narrowly escaped the attack. Unlike Qiao Ran, who had some senses, their situation was clearly more dangerous.

"... If only I could still use Z-Moves."

Acerola's face was deathly pale. It was unclear whether this was a trait inherited from her being Ghost Type Trainer or a result of expending a lot of energy. In any case, no one was in good condition during this tug-of-war.

Furthermore, as Captain of the Alola Region, their combat strength declined after losing Alola's unique Z-Moves.

Z-Skills – A unique ability specific to the Alola Region.

This skill can be used in battle. Simply put, it's an ability that guides Pokémon to unleash more powerful moves through a special dance performed by the Trainer.

This power was related to the four Island deities of the Alola Region, but it gradually dissipated after the Island deity disappeared.

Even without the Z-Skill, we still have to rely on ourselves.

Uncle Modan chuckled, despite his disheveled appearance and the fact that he was missing a shoe, he still wore a smile.

He believed this battle could be won; it was his intuition as a former International Police Chief.

"Mei! Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, cough... cough cough."

On the other side, Mei and Mei supported each other, shielding themselves from the flying rocks. Perhaps because she was too eager to do something, Mei's actions were always somewhat impulsive. Mei could understand her feelings. If this were her hometown, her Unova, she would probably do something similar.

"Run! It's about to attack again!"

"Um!"

The two jumped off the rubble and started running again.

The Guzzlord don't turn their bodies very quickly, but that doesn't mean they can stand still.

Moreover, the most terrible attack has not yet arrived.

"Roar roar roar roar roar roar!!!!"

Several attacks were launched, but they still had no obvious effect. In fact, the wounds on his body continued to increase, and the raging anger made the Guzzlord Roar even more fiercely.

"Lillie!"

"Um!"

Seeing the other person's unusual reaction, Qiao Ran realized what the other person wanted to do.

He grabbed Lillie's hand, and the two of them jumped onto the back of the Altaria, which had been waiting nearby.

In other locations, Trainer also realized this and sent out Pokémon with flying abilities to soar high into the sky.

"The Guzzlord has an unavoidable Earthquake attack, but... if everyone pays attention, we can still detect it in advance!"
