Pokemon: Reborn Rich Alternate Earth

Chapter 1064: Chapter 1281: Pseudo

With that 60-fold Flamethrower, Moltres instantly annihilated all nine of the Master's late-stage Champion Pokémon.

The shock it caused was absolutely earthshaking.

"Impossible!"

Looking at the scene before her, the Master—who had been convinced she had Julian completely cornered—finally lost control of her expression and practically screamed it out.

If this feat had been accomplished by Julian's Metagross, she wouldn't have been so shocked.

But the one who did it was Moltres.

Although it was a Legendary Pokémon, she had never truly regarded it as a serious threat.

And yet now, Moltres had wiped out nine late-stage Champions in a single strike.

And the move it used was Flamethrower—a common Fire-type move every Fire Pokémon could learn, a move with normally moderate power.

"There's something wrong with that Flamethrower."

Moltres' Flamethrower had actually turned purple-black. That color alone exuded an intense sense of abnormality.

Julian didn't answer her. He had already recalled the exhausted Moltres back into its Poké Ball.

"You did well."

He said softly. Even Julian himself hadn't expected the Flamethrower's power to reach such a horrifying level.

Those ten Lucky Charms hadn't been bought in vain.

Though of course, the stamina consumption had also been terrifying. It instantly drained most of Moltres' remaining stamina.

If it had attempted this while already low on stamina, not only would the move likely have failed, but the backlash from the failed attack might have seriously injured Moltres itself.

In response to Julian's praise, the Poké Ball containing Moltres gently wobbled a few times.

Seeing that Julian was completely ignoring her, while still carrying that faintly disdainful expression, the Master's face instantly darkened.

Meanwhile, the people of Drakoria, witnessing Moltres's incredibly invincible performance, were beside themselves with excitement.

> "Moltres, you are my god!!"

> "HOLY SHIT—a single Flamethrower wiped out nine Champions!!"

> "My friend wasn't kneeling while watching the livestream, so I slapped him twice!!"

> "Looks like I wasn't hallucinating. Since everyone else saw it too, it must be real!"

> "It's decided, no matter what it takes, I'm going to catch a Moltres someday!"

> "That woman thought she had Champion Walker cornered, hahaha! Look at her expression, hahaha!"

> "Don't celebrate too early. With nine Champion-level Pokémon dead, nine wisps of black smoke will be born!"

---

The moment those words appeared, everyone froze. The excited, joyful expressions on their faces solidified in an instant.

Just as that person had said—Julian stared at the nine piles of ashes, and sure enough, strands of black smoke began rising from them.

And compared to before, the smoke had become far darker.

In the beginning, the black smoke had been very faint. But as more and more of the Master's Pokémon died, the black smoke continuously merged together, deepening in color.

At the same time, the "Demon God's" power contained within the black smoke naturally grew stronger as well.

Nine late-stage Champions killed, while eleven peak Champions remained.

And these nine wisps of black smoke were each absorbed by nine Pokémon.

Perhaps because the Demon God's power within the black smoke had become too overwhelming—after absorbing the power, the bodies of those nine Pokémon actually began to continuously swell and expand.

Their original size increased by nearly half before finally stopping.

Moreover, the explosive surge of energy caused cracks to appear across their bodies. Blood seeped out from those fissures, and at the same time, strands of black energy could be seen flowing within them.

Seeing this, Julian immediately used his Probing Eyes to examine a Tyranitar.

Looking at the information fed back by the Probing Eyes, Julian's heart instantly grew heavier.

This Tyranitar was no longer a peak Champion, but a Pseudo-First-class Legendary.

Although it wasn't a true First-class Legendary, it still carried those words.

Because of that, it possessed overwhelming suppression over Pokémon weaker than itself—the only exception was Gold-grade potential Pokémon.

Among Julian's remaining Pokémon on the field—Metagross, Aggron, Dragonite, Gengar, and Kartana—all of them except Kartana possessed Gold-grade potential.

So they were immune to the suppression brought by this.

Of the Master's remaining eleven Pokémon, nine had now become Pseudo-First-class Legendaries.

The terrifying suppressive pressure made Kartana feel as though even breathing had become difficult. It felt like drowning.

And under that immense pressure, Kartana's level actually rose from Level 91 to Level 92—then immediately to Level 93.

It leveled up twice in succession.

Although leveling up was a good thing, in the face of nine Pseudo-First-class Legendaries, the strength gained from its level increase was completely useless.

'Why… Why?!'

Kartana still felt unable to breathe.

Unwillingly, it stared at the Pokémon ahead, to think a day would come where it became so weak that it couldn't even withstand the pressure of the enemy's aura.

"Come back."

Julian recalled Kartana into its Poké Ball.

Due to the presence of these Pseudo-First-class Legendaries, Steelix, Melmetal, and Celebi, who had originally been guarding Julian's side, were all recalled into their Poké Balls too.

At this point, they could no longer provide any meaningful protection.

However, Lucario still remained beside Julian. Its stamina had not yet recovered.

Though under the assault of nine Pseudo-First-class Legendaries, with Lucario's current strength, even self-preservation would be extremely difficult, let alone protecting Julian.

"Luca…"

Lucario let out a low shout in its heart, and at the same time, a resolve to die condensed deep within it.
