Pokemon: Reborn Rich Alternate Earth

Chapter 1071: Chapter 1288: Heart of Arceus

Having entered the Flow State, Julian's perception of the outside world had dropped to its lowest. He had no idea that a meteor was crashing down toward his head.

However, Mega Metagross sensed it and was prepared to endure the enemy's attacks before using Teleport to return to Julian's side.

But just then, a Poké Ball at Julian's waist opened, and Aggron appeared once again.

After a brief rest inside the Poké Ball, the exhausted Aggron hadn't recovered much stamina, but dealing with a single meteor should still be possible.

At least, that's what Aggron itself thought.

But it had forgotten that this meteor had been launched by a level 100.4 Garchomp. Although it was only 0.3 levels higher than the three Pseudo-First-class Legendaries it had killed before, the difference in power was entirely different.

The moment it caught the meteor, Aggron felt an overwhelming force crashing into it. Its body was continuously pushed backward, while the armor on its front, which had already been shattered before, began falling apart in huge chunks under the meteor's impact.

Its flesh was continuously scorched under the meteor's intense heat.

Fortunately, in the end, Aggron still managed to block the meteor.

However, it collapsed to the ground along with the meteor. Its blood soaking the ground beneath it, and only the faint rise and fall of its chest proved that Aggron was still alive.

Yet even though Aggron had paid such a devastating price, Julian's crisis wasn't over.

The Draco Meteor had formed over a dozen meteors, all blanketing Julian's position. Some had already struck the ground, and the shockwaves they created were like impossibly sharp blades of air.

"Meta!"

Thanks to Aggron buying time, Mega Metagross no longer needed to forcibly tank the enemy's attacks and had already appeared before those shockwaves.

Psychic waves spread out like a giant hand, suppressing all the raging shockwaves. At the same time, the remaining meteors were also halted midair by Psychic.

Through Mega Metagross's shared vision, Julian saw Aggron, heavily wounded and collapsed on the ground, and understood what had just happened.

But while in the Flow State, he couldn't make any unnecessary movements, or he would fall out of this state. Once he could no longer maintain it, Mega Metagross's power would weaken.

At a moment like this, any drop in strength would bring about absolutely catastrophic consequences.

Lucario also understood Julian's current state. It took Aggron's Poké Ball from his waist and recalled Aggron back into the ball.

With a thought, Mega Metagross erected dozens of Light Screens around Julian. With these Light Screens in place, they could temporarily block the attacks.

They wouldn't last long, perhaps only a few seconds, but those few seconds were enough to create a chance.

Lucario clenched its fists. At this moment, it deeply realized its own weakness. Not only could it not help its trainer, it could not even stop a single meteor formed from Draco Meteor.

"Metagross, we need to find a way to gather them all together, then finish them in one strike," Julian's voice echoed in Metagross's mind.

Since the black smoke formed after these Pokémon died would be absorbed by the other Pokémon, making those that absorbed it stronger.

Then if they killed all these Pokémon at once, even if that black smoke appeared, there won't be any Pokémon left to absorb it.

"Meta~"

Metagross: "Even if I can gather them together, with my current strength, I can't kill them all in one strike. Unless I use Self-Destruct."

If it used Self-Destruct in its current state, Metagross would most likely die. Those Pseudo-First-class Legendaries would also die, and Julian himself would likewise be killed by the terrifying aftershock of the explosion.

So Metagross wouldn't even consider using Self-Destruct.

"Wait just a moment, and your strength will increase by a huge margin," Julian's voice sounded once more.

Although puzzled, Metagross didn't doubt Julian's words. At a time like this, Julian certainly wouldn't be speaking nonsense.

"For now, don't stray too far from me. Once your strength increases, end this battle."

Julian knew that right now, he himself was Metagross's greatest weakness. These Pseudo-First-class Legendaries would try every possible means to kill him.

And his own Pokémon kept getting injured protecting him.

So now he had Metagross stay close around him, so that even if these Pokémon tried to attack him, Metagross could stop them immediately.

'Deoxys, hurry up already.'

Julian silently shouted in his heart.

Seeing Metagross narrow its combat range and stay close to Julian, the Master laughed: "So now you know fear? Unfortunately, it's already too late."

"Draco Meteor—bombard him!"

The remaining five Pseudo-First-class Legendaries were all pseudo-legendary Dragon types.

They all launched five Draco Meteors into the sky.

Just like Earthquake, Draco Meteor was a wide-area move with devastating battlefield-clearing power. However, the direction had to be controlled carefully, otherwise the enormous range could very easily injure allies as well.

So during the initial chaotic battle, neither Julian nor the Master had used huge area-of-effect moves like Earthquake or Draco Meteor for precisely this reason.

The five Draco Meteors exploded high in the sky, instantly splitting into nearly a hundred meteors that densely filled the sky as they came crashing down centered on Julian's position.

A black halo constantly surrounded the Master's body, and it was precisely because of this halo that she didn't need to worry about the aftershocks of the battle or the falling meteors at all.

Her safety was far greater than Julian's.

Under the Flow State, Julian couldn't be carelessly moved. Otherwise, Mega Metagross would have simply used Teleport to send him even higher than the falling meteors themselves.

Facing the nearly hundred falling meteors, the supercomputer within Mega Metagross instantly analyzed their speed, impact points, and identified which ones posed an actual threat to Julian.

"Meta!"

Mega Metagross used Icy Wind toward a specific area. The freezing cold enveloped that region, freezing the falling meteors one by one.

Once frozen, the meteors became nothing more than ordinary rocks falling from the sky.

BOOM!!

But no matter how strong it was, it was still fighting alone. Among the five enemies, a Dragonite's Dragon Pulse suddenly blasted onto Mega Metagross' back. The corrosive Demon God power instantly eroded away a large chunk of its back.

Mega Metagross staggered, its injuries had already long since reached a critical point.

After all, from the very start of the battle, the number and strength of the opponents Metagross faced were always the greatest.

Being able to fight to this current situation, Metagross's contribution accounted for seventy percent.

And the price it paid was equally enormous. At this moment, there wasn't a single intact spot left on its body. Nearly half of its sharp claws had already broken. And with injuries like these, just standing was already an achievement.

Yet Metagross could still keep fighting. Aside from having an extraordinarily strong willpower, the main reason was that it could feel the Heart of Arceus within its body continuously radiating energy.

This was the most critical factor. Otherwise, no matter how strong its willpower was, if the body itself could no longer stand, then willpower alone would be useless.
