"Mellon!"
Poké Ball opened, and a huge thing covered in blue metal suddenly landed on the ground.
Its whole body glows with a cold and hard metallic luster, with four Iron Defense extending from both sides of its body, and the X-shaped silver metal crossing its face adds a bit of intimidation.
Pseudo-Legendary, Metagross!
Oops, Xiaoyun on the sidelines leaned forward slightly, looking at the imposing Metagross, sighing inwardly.
Paul has good vision. Following Steven, he actually got a Metagross!
With Steven's wealthy character, this Metagross is probably not weak in talent.
Boy, you've got a better road ahead.
"Pikachu, Quick Attack!"
The battle is about to begin!
Pikachu immediately lowered his body, kicked his hind legs violently to the ground, and his entire body immediately turned into a blurry white afterimage.
Everyone's eyes only dimmed for a moment, and the next second...
Bang!
A crisp collision sound sounded, and Pikachu had already hit the steel body of Metagross.
"Mellon?"
Quick Attack has little effect on Metagross of Steel-type.
Metagross shook his head slightly and looked down at the little thing at his feet, his eyes full of confusion.
What is the point of this painless attack?
"Humph, it's still the same."
Paul folded his arms and let out a sneer.
This guy really doesn't make progress, he always has this hot-blooded attitude of just rushing forward.
But at this moment, Ash seemed particularly excited, and he said loudly:
"Then Thunderbolt!"
"Pickup!"
Pikachu relied on the reaction force of Quick Attack to bounce up like a marble. The current all over the body suddenly surged, and the golden arc jumped crazily on the body.
Boom!
The next moment, the violent electric current fell hard on Metagross. This time Metagross let out a muffled groan. Obviously, the damage to Thunderbolt had an effect.
"We've fought enough, it's our turn."
Paul's voice suddenly turned cold, and he raised his hand and pointed at Pikachu:
"Metal Claw!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Metagross's Iron Defense was instantly covered with a layer of cold silver light, and then rushed towards Pikachu like a shell.
Boom boom!
The strong rebound force caused the ground to crack into fine lines in an instant!
"No, Pikachu, Quick Attack avoid it!"
Ash shouted quickly, Pikachu's body suddenly ejected to the side, and then he barely managed to avoid the Metal Claw swung by Metagross.
And Metal Claw hit the spot where it was just now, and the ground instantly shattered.
Ash immediately changed his move. "Use Iron Tail!"
Pikachu dodged the attack and quickly adjusted his body shape. His tail instantly hardened into a steel color and swept hard towards the connection between Metagross Iron Defense and the body.
Paul There was a sharp flash in his eyes. Sure enough, this guy's command rhythm was faster.
But, Sucker Punch of this level was still within his calculations.
"Iron Defense!"
The surface of Metagross has a silver luster, and Pikachu's Iron Tail only makes a collision sound when it hits it!
"Defended?"
Ash blinked. Not only did he not panic, his eyes became even brighter.
"Then try this! Pikachu, full Thunderbolt!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Pikachu had taken advantage of the gap between Metagross and Iron Defense to flexibly jump into the sky above it.
The small body is filled with violent thunder currents.
Boom!
The next moment, Thunderbolt, which was condensed to the extreme, suddenly fell down, and the golden current was like a violent thunder column, blasting straight towards Metagross.
Metagross had no time to make a complete evasive action before he was completely enveloped by this violent Thunder Shock!
Seeing this scene, Bonnie's little face was full of shock. "Ash suddenly became so powerful. He really didn't talk nonsense before."
She remembered that Ash said that he had won the top 16 of the championship before, and everyone at that level was a master.
Bonnie didn't believe it, because Pikachu almost didn't beat Bunnelby, which his brother had just conquered.
Now it seems like it's true.
Clemont pushed up his glasses and nodded slightly. "This kind of power output is not weaker than the naturally formed Bolt Strike."
He can confirm that no Pokémon in his gym can withstand such an attack.
However, when the current dissipated, the scene on the field caused Ash's pupils to shrink suddenly.
Metagross Although he was panting slightly, there were no major new injuries on the blue metal body except for the previous scorch marks.
"How could it be? That was the full power of Pikachu's electric current!"
Ash is full of doubts, there is something wrong with the script.
"Don't forget, in addition to Steel-type, Metagross also has Psychic type."
Paul's faint voice sounded. He paused and slowly explained:
"The moment before Pikachu exploded with electricity, Metagross used Psychic to place Barrier around the body. The Thunderbolt just hit was not so much hitting Metagross as it was fighting against Psychic."
So that's it.
Xiaoyun sincerely praised, "The control of Confusion is so strong, it can deploy such Barrier in just a short time."
Steven on the side heard this, with a happy smile on his lips, and said softly, "This Metagross's talent is also outstanding among the family. To be able to achieve this level is what it should be capable of."
He appreciates Paul, and the Beldum who gave Paul are naturally among the talented ones.
Xiaoyun stopped talking.
Humph, evil capitalist.
At this time, Paul suddenly raised his hand and shouted:
"Psychic, throw Pikachu into the air."
"Mellon!"
A blue light suddenly appeared in Metagross's eyes, and Pikachu felt his body lighten, and then he was lifted up by this force uncontrollably, and then was thrown high into the sky!
"Flash Cannon Get ready!"
Paul's instructions came one after another, without giving Ash any chance to breathe.
The X-shaped metal cross on the head of Metagross instantly lit up with silver light. The rich energy quickly gathered there and turned into a dazzling silver light beam in just a few seconds, pointing directly at Pikachu, who was unable to borrow any force in the air!
In this suspended state, Pikachu is almost inevitable!
Ash clenched his fists and shouted to Pikachu:
"Fight, Pikachu! Use Volt Tackle!"
"Pika pika pika...!"
The electric current all over the body instantly turned into a golden coat of thunder and lightning, wrapping Pikachu's body in it.
It adjusted its posture, and with the force of thunder, it fell towards the incoming Flash Cannon like a golden arrow.
Sizzle!
The golden thunder and lightning instantly tore apart the silver beam of light. In Paul's shocked eyes, Pikachu broke through the obstacle of the light cannon and continued to rush towards Metagross!
This time, Paul's face finally became serious. Frisk realized that something was wrong and immediately changed the order:
"Psychic Fangs!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Metagross and two Iron Defense instantly unfolded and turned into two huge blue energy teeth, biting down hard on the swooping Pikachu!
Boom boom boom!
A violent explosion sounded, and the dazzling light instantly swallowed up the two Pokémon figures. The thick Smokescreen spread like dark clouds, covering the entire arena.
When Smokescreen slowly dispersed, Metagross had fallen to the ground, and the metal on its head gradually dimmed.
On the other side, Pika also staggered and finally fainted to the ground.
"Come back Metagross."
Paul took Metagross back, his eyes darkened.
The draw just now, no, to be precise, he should have lost. This result made him not very satisfied.
It seems that there are still some deficiencies under Normal Forme, and we need to speed up the process of searching for Mega Stone.
Hmm... probably, maybe, there's no need to look for it.
"Ash! Are you okay?"
Serena trotted quickly, watching Ash step forward to hold Pikachu in his arms, and asked worriedly, "Is Pikachu okay?"
Ash smiled and shook his head, "I'm fine, Pikachu is just tired."
Long time no see, Paul is still so strong.
"A very good fight."
Steven walked up to Ash and patted his shoulder. "Your on-the-spot reaction is very quick, and your tacit understanding with Pikachu is also very high. You have a promising future, young man."
Hearing this, Ash scratched the back of his head and said, "Mr. Steven, you've given me the award, so it's just so-so!"
"Hahaha."
Steven was amused by his frankness, and then turned to look at Xiaoyun who was not far away. His originally gentle eyes sharpened instantly, and he raised his hand to make a please gesture:
"Xiaoyun Investigator, let's have a game too. I want to know how strong you are to be regarded as a target by Paul."
Paul, who was not far away, heard this and turned his head subconsciously, but then turned back because he was also looking forward to this top-notch showdown.
"It's a dream come true, Mr. Steven."
Xiaoyun took a step forward and held Poké Ball around his waist, his tone full of fighting spirit:
"Just let me know what kind of strength Hoenn's former champion is."
"That's right!"
A hint of approval flashed in Steven's eyes, and then he raised his hand and threw Poké Ball:
"My partner, come out, Metagross!"
"Mellon!"
A red light flashed, and a silver-white Metagross suddenly landed on the ground.
The metal body glowed with a cold sheen, and the four Iron Defense stretched out with an oppressive momentum. The X-shaped metal pattern Ruby on the face was deeper than the previous Metagross.
Dawn pointed at the silver Metagross on the field and said in surprise, "This Metagross is exactly the same as the one Xiaoyun."
Steven heard this and looked at Xiaoyun with some surprise. "Oh? Does Xiaoyun also have Shiny Metagross?"
"That's right."
Xiaoyun smiled and nodded, thinking of his own Metagross, I guess it was a bit reluctant to fight with Steven.
He shrugged and said, "But it's not the one I want to send this time."
"Come out, Aerodactyl!"
"Howl--!"
A deafening roar resounded throughout the arena, and Aerodactyl immediately rushed out of the red light.
The huge wings spread out, and the strong wind they brought caused the grass and trees on the side of the field to shake violently, and the intimidating power of the ancient Pokémon instantly filled the entire field.
Seeing the gray-brown pterosaur in the sky, Steven's eyes flashed with surprise.
"It turns out to be Aerodactyl, an individual who has been trained so well."
There was a hint of interest in meeting his opponent in his tone, and he immediately raised his eyes to look at the field.
"Metagross, attack first, use Meteor Mash!"
"Mellon!"
Metagross roared, the metal joints made a crisp clicking sound, and the sturdy pair of Iron Defense were instantly covered in a dazzling silver light.
Its body suddenly ejected, and its entire body turned into a silver cannonball, rushing towards Aerodactyl!
What a fast speed.
Xiaoyun's pupils shrank, and he suddenly raised his right hand forward, shouting, "Aerodactyl, take off to avoid it, use Stone Edge!"
Aerodactyl's wings suddenly flapped, and its body instantly lifted up several meters. While avoiding Metagross's collision, it condensed countless sharp rocks.
The rocks shot through the air intensively towards Metagross with a whooshing sound.
"Defend with Iron Defense!"
Steven gave clear instructions without any hesitation.
Metagross's body surface glowed with a thick layer of white light, as if covered with a layer of invisible alloy armor.
Ding ding ding!
The next second, sharp rocks hit it one after another, sparks flying everywhere.
Those sharp blades that were strong enough to break through rocks did not leave even a scratch.
"Oh, it's really hard enough."
Xiaoyun not only did not panic, but a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes, and there was a hint of Taunt in his voice:
"Aerodactyl, use Dragon Claw for close range!"
"Howl...!"
Aerodactyl roared, Dual Wingbeat retracted, and swooped down like an arrow from the string, the cyan Dragon Claw went straight for Metagross's head!
Forging iron crabs, Aerodactyl is professional!
When Steven saw this, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, as if he had predicted this move:
"Metagross, use Psychic!"
"Mellon!"
Silver Metagross's eyes suddenly lit up with blue light, and the invisible Confusion instantly grabbed Aerodactyl's wings.
Aerodactyl suddenly paused in flapping his wings, and his body stagnated slightly in the air.
"Pull it over! Use Flash Cannon!"
Steven Seize this fleeting opportunity and immediately change your tactics.
"Mellon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the X-shaped metal on Metagross's head suddenly lit up with a dazzling light, and a silver energy wave condensed to the extreme shot towards Aerodactyl who was very close at hand.
The distance was too close and there was no time to dodge.
Okay, okay, co-author Paul learned that style of play from you... A thought flashed through Xiaoyun's mind, but the order did not retreat but advance:
"Aerodactyl, use Iron Head to push up!"
"Howl!"
Facing this iron crab, Aerodactyl didn't understand what cowardice was at all. It gave up its defense and concentrated all its strength on its head.
A strong silver light shone on the head, and Aerodactyl was pushing Tackle against Flash Cannon's body, and slammed into Metagross's body.
Boom--!
A violent explosion sounded in the center of the field, and the air waves spread in all directions, rolling up gravel on the ground.
Metagross was knocked back continuously, and his four legs dragged four deep scratches on the ground, leaving a black mark on the smooth silver metal on the body surface.
Aerodactyl was also shaken by the aftermath of Flash Cannon and flew backwards. Its wings trembled slightly, but it still stopped firmly in the air and let out a proud roar.
"Aerodactyl is worthy of being the overlord of the sky in ancient times. It's really interesting."
Steven looked at the two Pokémons facing each other in the field, a rare smile appeared on his lips, and then he took out a brooch inlaid with gems from his pocket.
It is Key Stone.
He raised the brooch and placed it elegantly on his forehead, his eyes becoming extremely serious:
"Metagross, respond to my heart!"
"Mega Evolution!"
"Mellon...!"
Metagross let out a powerful roar, and a dazzling light glowed around his body.
After the light dissipated, its original four legs turned into four thick arms, all stretched forward, and there were four smaller auxiliary arms behind it.
A sharp metal thorn grows out of the lower jaw, making the entire body look more majestic and aggressive.
Mega Metagross!
