Chapter 1027: Metagross Vs Kleavor II
Although Metagross had been sent flying, Julian was not worried. An attack of this level from Kleavor was still not enough to injure Metagross.
At this moment, a golden Hyper Beam tore through the air from afar, arriving in an instant—in the blink of an eye, it was right in front of Kleavor.
The latter seemed to have sensed it in advance, crossing its axe-like arms in front of its body. The powerful impact of the Hyper Beam forced it to retreat continuously.
Crashing through one tree after another, its feet carved a long trench into the ground. Even after being pushed back hundreds of meters, the Hyper Beam showed no signs of weakening.
Seeing this, Kleavor used its right axe to forcefully block the Hyper Beam while raising its left axe high and swinging it forward. A white arc of energy split the Hyper Beam in two.
Seizing the opportunity, Kleavor immediately moved away from its position. It knew that the earlier Slash couldn't completely break the Hyper Beam—it could only cut away part of it. Once the power of Slash weakened, the Hyper Beam would still continue forward.
"Meta!"
Just as it moved, Metagross’s voice suddenly rang in its ears.
Without any hesitation, it instinctively swung an axe toward the direction the voice came from—that was, to its left—but it struck nothing. At the same time, it saw nothing there either.
Kleavor's expression changed slightly, and the next moment, an intense air pressure descended from above its head.
A downward Hammer Arm, carrying overwhelming force crashed down like a falling mountain. The immense pressure caused the ground beneath Kleavor to cave in continuously.
Why was it above?
The voice had clearly come from the left.
There was no more time for it to think. Faced with Metagross's devastating Hammer Arm, Kleavor's body flickered, and suddenly, six Kleavor appeared in its place.
Double Team!
Metagross's Hammer Arm didn't strike any of the clones. Instead, it slammed heavily into the ground.
BOOM!!
An earthquake of magnitude ten or higher erupted as the Hammer Arm landed.
The earth shook violently, cracks spreading like a spider's web in all directions. Countless trees were swallowed and shattered by the fissures, while terrifying shockwaves swept through everything in the vicinity.
The six Double Team clones naturally vanished instantly, leaving only the real Kleavor behind.
Under the violent tremors, Kleavor found it difficult to maintain its footing on the ground, and at the same time the continuous vibrations kept assaulting it, causing varying degrees of damage.
Due to the earthquake, thick clouds of dust enveloped both Kleavor and Metagross, obstructing their vision and leaving them unable to see each other.
However, for Pokémon of their caliber, eyes were often no longer a necessity for tracking enemies.
Even without clear visibility, both could still sense each other’s positions.
Kleavor took a deep breath, sharpening its focus even further.
Focus Energy!
"Kle!"
With a low cry, it kicked off the ground, bursting through the smoke. The scattered rubble around it quickly gathered and solidified above, instantly forming a giant stone axe dozens of meters long.
The stone axe swung down, its pressure splitting the surrounding dust and revealing Metagoss below.
Metagross focused its mind, conjuring layers of Light Screen and Reflect mid-air to block the colossal stone axe.
Crack, crack, shatter—
A series of breaking sounds rang out.
Beneath the giant stone axe, the Light Screen and Reflect barriers seemed to offer little resistance, and in an instant more than half of them were shattered.
But the farther the axe descended, the slower it became. Finally, about ten meters above Metagross’s head, the Stone Axe came to a halt.
"Kle!"
Kleavor wore an unwilling expression and continued to exert force, but its downward momentum had been exhausted. Relying on brute force alone to break through the remaining Light Screen and Reflect barriers was clearly impossible.
Without hesitation, Kleavor released its grip on the giant stone axe, its body blurring into an afterimage as it swiftly closed in on Metagoss with Agility.
Crossing its arms in front, it formed an X-shape, with a silvery-white glow swirling around the intersection. The air currents emitted sharp, piercing whistles.
Facing the X-Scissor, Metagoss raised its left arm, a multicolored light flowing across it. The surging power made the surrounding space grow dense and heavy.
BOOM!!!
The two attacks collided violently against each other.
Empowered by its King Form, all of Kleavor’s attacks dealt double damage.
The moment the two attacks made contact, a vacuum zone instantly formed around them, like a sphere enveloping both Pokémon.
As a point of light appeared within the sphere—resembling nuclear fission—it rapidly expanded, engulfing both of them in the blink of an eye.
Julian and Dragonite were already hundreds of meters high in the air when they saw the white sphere of light below, and an immense sense of crisis surged within them.
Swish—
Before Julian could even speak, Dragonite ascended another several hundred meters higher.
BOOM!!!!
Below, a massive mushroom cloud erupted. Flames, smoke, and shockwaves spread like an apocalyptic force, annihilating everything in their path and continuing to expand.
Five kilometers, ten kilometers, twenty kilometers, fifty kilometers, a hundred kilometers…
It was still continuing to spread.
Fortunately, there were no other Pokémon in the Grandtree Arena. If there had been, this explosion alone would have been enough to claim tens of thousands of Pokémon lives.
Even high in the sky, shockwaves raged violently. Luckily, Julian’s position was high enough—otherwise, if he had been at his previous altitude, he would have undoubtedly been caught in the blast.
"Truly terrifying," Julian swallowed.
A battle of this magnitude, if unleashed in human society, could easily obliterate city after city. It was nothing short of a natural disaster.
In fact, even now, human scholars had not fully understood one thing:
In terms of raw power, Pokémon held an overwhelming advantage. Even a level 10 Pokémon could kill a human with ease.
By the time a Pokémon reached the Elite-level, even human nuclear weapons would struggle to eliminate them—after all, they wouldn’t just stand still and let themselves be hit.
And once they reached the Champion-level, humanity had no means or weapons capable of killing them.
Yet despite possessing such power, these beings willingly became human partners, allowed themselves to be commanded by them, and fought for humanity—even killing their own kind.
To Pokémon, humans were the outsiders, the foreign species; the other Pokémon species were their own kin.
They clearly possessed strength far beyond what humans could ever reach, yet they were willing to become weapons in human hands.
Some might say it was because humans possessed intelligence.
But in terms of pure intellect, Pokémon like Slowking, Alakazam, and Metagross had IQs that far surpassed those of humans.
Strength, intelligence, and many other attributes—humans fell short in every aspect compared to Pokémon. And yet, Pokémon had nevertheless became human partners and even weapons.
