Pokemon: Reborn Rich Alternate Earth

Chapter 1060: Chapter 1277: Black Wisp

"ROAR!"

Dragonite transformed into a streak of draconic energy, carving a beautiful yet deadly arc through the air.

The three Salamence in front of it were instantly torn apart, flesh and blood flying everywhere, bones snapping.

They plummeted toward the ground with a series of thuds, but before they could even land, their heads were severed by Kartana.

"Penta Kill," Kartana muttered softly.

Counting these three, that made five kills in a row.

In such a large-scale chaotic battle, it had finally found its niche—reaping.

Constantly finishing off any low-health opponents. As long as an opportunity presented itself, it could deliver a one-hit kill.

Even a low-health opponent at the mid-stage Champion-level could be ended by its blade.

BOOM!

The posing Kartana suddenly heard a sound from behind. Turning its head, it saw Dragonite standing right in front of it, having blocked an incoming Steel Beam on its behalf.

Nodding its thanks to Dragonite, Kartana's form flickered and vanished, off to harvest more low-health targets.

The chaotic battle raged on, and the Master's thirty Champion-level Pokémon had all died once, so they no longer had the ability to revive.

However, because of this, their strength had been enhanced.

So as Milotic and Tyranitar worked together to take down three opponents who had revived for the second time, the Master's Pokémon began to experience true death.

However, what Julian failed to notice was that as these three Pokémon died permanently, three faint wisps of black aura rose from their corpses.

Because the entire battlefield was filled with the shockwaves of combat, ninety percent of Julian's attention was focused on his own Pokémon, leaving him with no extra energy to observe anything else.

His Pokémon were in the same state. Thus, no one detected those three faint wisps of black aura.

After emerging, the three wisps of black aura burrowed into the nearest Metagross.

Originally, this Metagross's strength was at the mid-stage Champion-level, but with the entry of those three black wisps, its power instantly surged to the peak of the Champion-level.

BOOM!!

Moltres, who was locked in a standoff with it, was sent flying by a single Meteor Mash, its body slamming heavily into the ground and creating a massive tremor.

Giga Impact!

The Metagross seized the opportunity and charged at the downed Moltres. Powerful airflow encased its entire body, and the immense force of the charge made the very space feel oppressively heavy.

Because Moltres had taken a direct Meteor Mash to the head, it was reeling with dizziness.

Although it sensed the threat coming from above, the dizziness left its body completely beyond its control.

And there was something else it couldn't understand. Just moments ago, this Metagross had been weaker than itself. So how had it suddenly become a peak Champion in an instant?

It had already died once—how could its strength still increase, and by so much?

"Aggron, block it!"

Julian currently had no Champion-level Pokémon guarding his side, but there were several peak Pseudo-Champions nearby.

Melmetal, Steelix, and Celebi—these three were at the Pseudo-Champion peak, and their strength was more than enough to handle an early-stage Champion, though Celebi's combat ability was admittedly quite questionable.

Moreover, Metagross possessed the move Teleport.

The Master also had several Metagross on her side, but none of hers could use Teleport. In fact, no Metagross was supposed to be able to learn Teleport at all.

That Julian's Metagross could do so was naturally thanks to the System, and the first time it had used Teleport in public, it had even caused quite a stir.

With Teleport available, as long as Steelix and Melmetal could stall the enemy for even a moment, Metagross would immediately return to provide support.

Facing the Metagross and its Giga Impact, Aggron had already planted itself in front of Moltres, having previously stacked multiple layers of Iron Defense and Harden on its body.

Both its arms thrust forward, pressing down directly against the Giga Impact, and the next second, an overwhelming impact force surged forth.

Even Aggron's colossal frame was driven backward relentlessly under that force, its legs carving deep furrows into the ground.

"How is there another peak Champion here?"

After sensing that this Metagross's strength was actually at the peak of the Champion tier, Julian was instantly alarmed.

Among the Master's thirty Pokémon, only ten were at the peak Champion-level, and those ten had each died once, becoming even stronger, but they still remained within the peak Champion boundary.

As for the other Pokémon, even after dying and reviving with enhanced strength, those at the late-stage Champion level had never broken through to the peak.

But now, with all ten original peak Champion Pokémon still present, there was suddenly an eleventh peak Champion Metagross here.

"This is bad."

Julian's heart skipped a beat. His intuition told him that there was something he had overlooked—something that had directly led to the emergence of this additional peak Champion opponent.

"ROAR!"

After being pushed back nearly a kilometer, Aggron successfully halted the Metagross's Giga Impact.

This was a peak Champion-level Metagross—a testament to just how terrifying Aggron's defensive power truly was.

But the battle was far from over.

Stomping Tantrum!

Facing the Metagross before it, Aggron raised its massive foot and stomped down hard.

Peak Champion or not, as long as it wasn't that silver guy, it was getting crushed under Aggron's feet.

BOOOOM!!!

A thunderous sound echoed as the Metagross felt as if a mountain had just slammed down onto its back.

The immense force instantly drove its body into the ground, leaving it utterly incapable of even the slightest resistance.

Metal Burst!

Aiming at the Metagross pinned beneath its foot, Aggron gathered a silvery glow in its mouth, radiating like a blazing sun and giving off a deadly light.

[Metal Burst: A move that returns 1.5 times the damage dealt by the foe's last attack.]

The Metagross had just hit it with Giga Impact, which meant the power of this Metal Burst would be 1.5 times that of the Giga Impact.

Sensing the threat of death, the Metagross—despite being a puppet that had already lost most of its will—began to panic and struggle violently.

But Aggron's foot pressed down on its back like an immovable mountain—there was simply no way to break free.

BOOM!!

Metal Burst was fired, piercing straight through the Metagross's back.

Like scorching-hot flames, the edges of the wound on its back even showed signs of melting—the peak Champion Metagross was dead.

"ROOOAR!"

Aggron let out an exhilarated roar as its level rose from 94 to 95.

Then it glanced over at its own silver Metagross, as if saying: 'I can take down a peak Champion Metagross now, so one day, I'll be able to put you flat on your back too.'

This Metagross had already died twice, so there would be no more revivals.

But Julian's gaze remained fixed on the fallen Metagross's body, and as a wisp of black smoke rose from its corpse, Julian's eyes suddenly widened.

This time, he clearly saw it.

The black wisp then burrowed into the nearest Garchomp, and immediately afterward, the late-stage Champion Garchomp leaped directly to the peak of the Champion tier.

Moreover, the aura it now emitted was even more terrifying than that of the ten original peak Champion-level Pokémon by a fair margin.
