Chapter 1067: Chapter 1284: Dying
The combined Hyper Beam didn't hit Julian directly, but the terrifying shockwaves it generated still reached him.
If Lucario hadn't stepped in front of Julian in time, he would have absolutely been torn to shreds by the aftershocks.
And Lucario, having shielded Julian from the shockwaves, felt its aura churning violently within its body, and a mouthful of blood involuntarily sprayed from its mouth.
The residual force of that Hyper Beam was no easy thing to block. Even the Godless Barrier itself was trembling continuously under the shockwaves, showing just how horrifying the Hyper Beam had been.
And if not for this Godless Barrier present, the shockwaves alone would have been enough to destroy the entire Nile nation, and even the surrounding countries would have suffered varying degrees of impact.
BOOM!!
A deafening sound rang out as Julian's Dragonite was slammed to the ground, with a Tyranitar directly stomping on its stomach.
The immense force caused Dragonite's belly area to visibly cave in.
Earlier, Mega Aggron had killed a Tyranitar, and the black smoke produced by the fallen Pokémon was absorbed by this very Tyranitar before them.
Its strength immediately surged from a late-stage Champion straight to a Pseudo-First-class Legendary.
Dragonite had already been struggling to deal with the two late-stage Champions. When suddenly one of them broke through to the Pseudo-First-class Legendary tier—its strength skyrocketing.
Naturally, Dragonite could no longer hold its ground.
In the blink of an eye, it was struck by Tyranitar's Rock Slide and sent crashing to the ground, then had its stomach stomped on by the opponent's Stomping Tantrum.
Its bones and internal organs had already shattered by more than half beneath that stomp. Blood continuously poured from its mouth, and its aura fell to its absolute lowest point.
'Die!'
Tyranitar revealed a savage grin as its mouth full of sharp fangs lunged toward Dragonite's throat.
"Metagross!"
Julian internally cried out.
Because Tyranitar had its back to him, Julian couldn't actually recall Dragonite into its Poké Ball.
"Meta!"
Mega Metagross teleported directly in front of Dragonite and unleashed a Meteor Mash toward Tyranitar.
But the opponent had long been prepared, and an emerald-green Protect materialized before it.
Although the power of Meteor Mash was immense, it was still blocked by Protect—though the barrier, of course, shattered the very next instant.
Meanwhile, as Mega Metagross went to rescue Dragonite, Mega Aggron had already been surrounded by six Pseudo-First-class Legendary Pokémon.
All kinds of moves bombarded Mega Aggron in a frenzied, relentless assault.
Hyper Beam, Steel Beam, Dragon Pulse, and all kinds of devastating moves exploded directly against Mega Aggron's body.
Deafening explosions rang out continuously, and the ground where Mega Aggron stood turned into molten magma under the extreme heat generated by the blasts.
And the remaining two Pseudo-First-class Legendaries, Dragonite and Salamence, charged straight toward Julian.
"Luca!"
Lucario had already suffered considerable injuries from the earlier shockwaves of the Hyper Beam.
Now seeing the two Pokémon rushing toward them, it immediately fired two Aura Spheres.
But the gap in levels was simply too enormous.
The Aura Spheres struck their targets but accomplished virtually nothing, and the enemies continued their rapid advance toward Julian without slowing down.
Mega Metagross wanted to go to the rescue—but it was being entangled by Tyranitar, preventing it from using Teleport for the moment.
And more importantly, the moment it left, Dragonite would be as good as dead.
"ROAR—!"
The heavily wounded Dragonite somehow forced itself back to its feet from within the crater.
Outrage!
Under the activation of Outrage, blood continuously sprayed from its wounds, its yellow body instantly turning blood-red.
Relying on the temporary burst of power granted by Outrage, Dragonite desperately wrapped itself around the Tyranitar.
"DRA!"
It roared toward Metagross: "Go!"
The meaning was obvious; 'Go save Julian, don't worry about me.'
Mega Metagross didn't hesitate in the slightest. It immediately used Teleport and vanished.
Possessing a supercomputer-like mind, it would, to a certain degree, always make the most objectively correct judgment.
Compared to its Trainer, its partner was simply not as important.
And this was exactly what Dragonite itself wanted.
Tyranitar bit down on Dragonite's shoulder, instantly crushing it to pieces. With just a little more force, a huge chunk of flesh vanished from Dragonite's shoulder.
Dragonite had originally been holding off two Pokémon—one was the Tyranitar that had now reached Pseudo-First-class Legendary tier, and the other was a Hydreigon.
Hydreigon's Tri Attack blasted into Dragonite's back, striking it until the flesh was mangled and bloody, the broken bones clearly visible.
Blood flowed ceaselessly, and the ground beneath Dragonite had already formed a pool of blood.
Feeling the strength rapidly draining from its body, Dragonite gazed reluctantly in the direction where Julian was.
It wanted to use Self-Destruct and take these two bastards down with it, but it knew very well that if it exploded, the resulting blast would inevitably affect its trainer behind it.
And this was precisely the main reason why the Master had not ordered these Pokémon to Self-Destruct either.
Under a Pseudo-First-class Legendary's Self-Destruct, even she wouldn't be able to escape.
"Metagross, save Dragonite!"
Seeing Dragonite's condition, Julian's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he roared furiously at Metagross.
But for the very first time, Metagross disobeyed Julian's order.
It appeared in front of the Pseudo-First-class Legendary Dragonite and Salamence, and with a series of Meteor Mashes, it slammed both Pokémon viciously into the ground.
Meanwhile, Tyranitar had already begun charging a Hyper Beam inside its mouth, and Dragonite's grip, which had been restraining it, gradually loosened.
The effects of Outrage were fading, and its aura was rapidly draining away.
Faintly, it seemed to hear the furious roar of its trainer. Within its blurry vision, it vaguely saw Julian desperately running toward it.
Dragonite: 'Goodbye…'
Just as its consciousness was about to fade away—and just as Tyranitar's Hyper Beam was about to blow apart Dragonite's head—a massive hand suddenly reached over and grabbed Tyranitar by the neck.
The killing blow of the Hyper Beam was forcibly redirected, blasting straight toward the Hydreigon instead.
BOOM!!!
Hydreigon was instantly killed by the Hyper Beam from its own ally.
As a mere late-stage Champion, it naturally couldn't withstand a Pseudo-First-class Legendary attack.
And the one who had intervened was, of course, Mega Aggron.
Despite being besieged by six Pokémon, it still relied on its monstrous defense to break through the encirclement and save Dragonite at the very last moment.
"Dragonite!"
With Lucario's help, Julian was already at Dragonite's side.
Its aura had weakened to the extreme and was continuing to fade.
Its condition was even worse than being at death's door.
In this state, no matter how good the Potion was, it could not save Dragonite's life.
Even a healing-type Ultimate treasure wouldn't do much good, because such treasures required time to heal, and Dragonite's aura was about to bottom out.
Simply put, the speed of healing couldn't outpace the speed of its life draining away.
Unless it was a World-class healing treasure, but Julian simply didn't have one.
The System Shop did have them for sale, but Julian's points were nowhere near enough.
However, Julian suddenly took out a certain item.
[Frozen Heart: Upon use, it can freeze life itself. Suitable for severely injured Pokémon and humans. Once the freezing is lifted, life fluctuations will be restored.]
This was something Julian had purchased from the System Shop a long time ago.
He had kept it prepared for emergencies.
