Chapter 348 The Ominous Force of the Metagross! The Fiery Roaring Tiger and the Wind Demon
Chapter 348 The oppressive aura of the Metagross! The combined attack of the Blazing Roaring Tiger and the Wind Fairy, "Golden Hook Arm of Demonic Fire"!
Nosestring surged with psychic energy, emitting a deep, resonant growl. This growl contained fighting spirit and anger, as if it were saying to the approaching Metagross, "I'm not afraid of you, bring it on, you bastard!"
This rebellious spirit stirred Ye Yinchuan's heart. In the Pokémon food chain, Proboscis was undoubtedly the prey. Just looking at its appearance, compared to Metagross, it seemed like a mere filler...
But this prey was determined to resist and even took action!
However, despite his interest, Ye Yinchuan still needed to prioritize his own and his Pokémon's safety. He decisively sent out Snorlax to prepare for any potential battles that might follow.
Pokémon like Metagross were referred to as pseudo-legendary by players before the transmigration, meaning they possessed power close to or even comparable to legendary Pokémon. In this world where legendary Pokémon have received epic power-ups, their status and prestige are only higher.
"Be on guard, prepare for the enemy."
Ye Yinchuan kept his distance from Nosepass, signaling the Pokémon to prepare for an attack, but not to make any rash moves.
Although I admire the baby's fighting spirit, I have no relation to it and there is really no need for me to risk my life to protect it or even help it get revenge.
Of course, he would act according to circumstances. If he had other ideas, Ye Yinchuan couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't take action.
For example... he admires this baby and wants to tame it and make it his baby, so what's wrong with helping it out?
No sooner said than done.
The moment Ye Yinchuan made these preparations, a colossal object, like a meteor from outer space, crashed down from above with a deafening roar. Even in the dense fog, a huge shadow and intense wind pressure could be seen.
Others might not be able to see it clearly, but Ye Yinchuan knew very well that this extraterrestrial object... was the Megalomon!
hum-
On the north side, it also took some kind of response. The energy on its body surface surged, generating a powerful magnetic force that attracted some rocks with high metal content and even ores buried in the ground. They were like armor, covering its body surface and protecting it tightly.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the giant golden monster landed precisely, almost slamming into Chao Beibi. Even in the thick fog, Ye Yinchuan was able to see the flying stones thanks to his superb eyesight.
Unfortunately, the protective armor formed by Nose Bridge's energy was no match for Metagross's attack!
The difference in strength between the two sides is too obvious!
[Holy crap! What's going on? Have aliens attacked Earth?]
Is this still China? Has the streamer been transported to a battlefield?
[This is outrageous! An enemy attack? Could it be evil forces coveting the streamer's identity as the spokesperson for Feng Wang?]
The live chat was buzzing with discussion, everyone was astonished by the scene before them.
However, there are still discerning people—
[Clearly, the streamer had anticipated this attack!]
We all heard the noise, but we never expected the attack to come from above! It had to be the streamer!
"Metamorphoses! Metamorphoses are chasing Northbridge!"
Ye Yinchuan tried to keep his tone calm, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a direct scene of a Metagross hunt.
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan clearly saw that the Megalomon had already climbed onto the North-facing Nose, using its body and four metal claws to firmly hold the North-facing Nose down, and then began to gnaw on the rocks with its huge mouth. The rocks were being chewed, making a crunching sound that stimulated the auditory nerves and made one's scalp tingle!
[How terrifying! Is this the Metagross?!]
[The baby's nose was completely powerless to fight back; it was like a lamb encountering a tiger!]
[Oh my god, this is the first time I've ever seen wild Pokémon eating each other! Even though the thick fog obscured it, it still looked so bloody!]
Thankfully, no need to censor it anymore. Nosebridge is a Rock-type Pokémon, so it won't bleed!
Seeing the comments on the screen, Ye Yinchuan's expression turned serious. It was only natural that Nose Bridge couldn't beat Metagross.
After all, according to the Pokédex, even a Metallica can prey on Nose Bridge, let alone Metagross, which has evolved into a higher form.
In terms of base stats, Metagross has a total of 600, which is top-tier, while Proboscis only has 375, almost double the base stats. It would be strange if Metagross couldn't crush Proboscis!
Ye Yinchuan remained still because he could tell that although Chao Beibi had no power to fight back, he had concentrated all his strength on defense.
Of course, Nosegate's defensive capabilities are limited to "Harden" and "Sleep." The former increases its defense and hardness, making it harder for Metagross to bite, while the latter allows it to recover some strength, making it easier for Metagross to bite...
Something seems off.
Buzz! Empty! Empty! Empty!
At this moment, the outer layer of rock armor on the north nose had been completely destroyed, and Metagross had begun to devour its true body. In pain, it used all sorts of moves without restraint.
"Electromagnetic waves", "electric light", "discharge"!
"Falling Rocks", "Power Gem", "Rock Blast"!
In an instant, lightning flashed and rocks blasted, but they hit Metagross without causing any pain or itch, at most just a slight tingling sensation.
[Can the baby's nose even use electric-type moves?]
[A lot of thunder and lightning, but little rain. Is this the struggle of the weak? The Metagross didn't even budge!]
[What does the anchor say? Are you just watching the show?]
I think I heard the streamer say that he generally doesn't interfere with the ecosystem of wild Pokémon. Does that count?
Looking at the comments, Ye Yinchuan was slightly troubled. Why did it seem like... watching the show was wrong, and taking action was wrong too?
In an instant, Ye Yinchuan reflected on his past careless remarks, realizing that he had set his moral standards too high and was talking about ecology.
This is something as simple as deciding whether to save someone or not, and you've made it all complicated!
"I can't take it anymore! If I hesitate any longer, this baby nose will be completely devoured!"
Ye Yinchuan finally made up his mind. He was certain that he was moved by the north-facing nose's fighting spirit and wanted to help it!
As for the ecological damage, Ye Yinchuan was willing to offer some of the Soul Reaver's food to compensate the Metagross, whose nutritional value was no less than that of a lively Nose Cutie... That way, it would be a kind of balance.
Of course, whether Metagross will accept it is another matter.
It's decided, let's do it!
"Hey guys, I have a tourist attraction that's about to open for a trial run, and I'm really short on Pokémon. I was thinking, what if I put a Nose Basket in there? That would be pretty fun, wouldn't it?"
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan called out to three Pokémon—Adorata, Incineroar, and Decidueye—to attract Metagross's attention and interrupt its continued nibbling on Nosecat!
Bang!
The Fiery Roaring Tiger spread its arms wide, thrust its hips forward, and unleashed a massive, spiraling fireball from its Crimson Lotus Belt, blasting it towards Metagross...
At the same time, it didn't forget to turn its head and give Ye Yinchuan a proud look, as if to say, "I did a good job, didn't I?"
Kodora also gathered energy, lifted a rock, and hurled it at Metagross.
With a flap of its wings, the sniper owl sent out several blades of grass and feathers.
Clearly, both Kodora and Decidueye understood not to provoke the Metagross, as it was a formidable opponent. However, Incineroar, on the other hand, seemed to be going overboard with its attacks, whether intentionally or not, as if it was looking for a fight!
The rocks from Kodora and the leaves from Decidueye seemed too light to touch Metagross, which completely ignored them and continued eating...
Metagross's eyes only moved slightly when the scorching fireball approached. Before it could react, a deafening explosion nearly overturned its millstone-like body!
Blazing Roaring Tiger: Just tell me whether you interrupted me or not!
"..."
Ye Yinchuan remained silent for a moment, then gave the Blazing Roaring Tiger a helpless thumbs-up.
"Pfft—whoosh!"
The Metagross emitted a metallic roar, shrill and hoarse, far exceeding the range of ordinary creatures, instantly creating a sense of oppression in the thick fog.
Its blood-red eyes, nestled in its dark sockets, locked onto the Blazing Roaring Tiger after a brief, rapid rotation...
The Fiery Roaring Tiger also grinned, revealing sharp teeth, and assumed a battle-ready stance, as if to say, "Bring it on."
Pokémon like it are born to crave powerful and valuable rivals, and Metagross before it is undoubtedly one of them!
Ye Yinchuan had already read the data on this Megalodon's stats—
Iron-Footed Pokémon: Metagross
[Level: 45]
[Attributes: Steel, Superpowers]
Gender: Genderless
[Racial stats: S-rank (600)]
Individual Value: Grade A (188)
【Characteristic: Everlasting Purity】
[Personality: Stubborn]
[Skills: Impact, Arm Hammer, Metal Claw, Bullet Punch, Telekinesis, Mind Hammer, Electromagnetic Levitation, Cannon Beam, Rampage, Psychic Power, Terrifying Face, Ice Fist (Egg Move)]
[Status: Hungry, Annoyed]
[Evolutionary Path: Iron Dumbbell — Metallica — Metagross]
[Trait: None]
Indeed, this Metagross has just evolved, but because it is a late bloomer, its level is as high as 45, which is incredibly strong. In a wild area like Crystal Forest, it is more than a dominant force!
With its high level and top-tier base stats, this Metagross in front of him is definitely one of the most powerful Pokémon Ye Yinchuan has ever faced head-on.
However, Ye Yinchuan was not intimidated. After all, his Pokémon were no pushovers. Their strength had improved significantly over this period, and they could no longer be judged by old standards.
Let's just say Metagross is half a Totem Pokémon. Then all my Pokémon are potential future Totem Pokémon, so what's there to fear in battle!
At this moment, Metagross soared into the air like a deadly frisbee, its body surface surging with electromagnetic waves, charging towards Incineroar with murderous intent...
The fusion of Psychic and Steel-type energies covered Metagross's body, greatly enhancing it. In addition, Normal-type energy burst forth, unleashing the move "Tackle," which was incredibly powerful and terrifying!
"What a terrifying impact!"
Ye Yinchuan was also secretly alarmed and commanded the other Pokémon to help Incineroar, especially Whimsicott, which has powerful support abilities.
Incineroar also responded accordingly. When Metagross was still some distance away, its Fighting and Dark-type energies erupted simultaneously, manifesting as "Bulk Up," "Fright Face," and "Bluff"...
"Frightening Face" and "Bluff" are both Normal-type moves, but their effects become stronger when combined with Dark-type energy.
However, against a ferocious being like Metagross, Incineroar's "terrifying face" and "bluffing" were largely ineffective...
Because although this type of technique is influenced by special energy and rules, it is essentially a psychological game...
For example, a "frightening face" involves staring at an opponent with a terrifying expression to frighten them and affect their movements...
If the other party is not afraid, the effect will be greatly reduced, or even negligible!
"Bluffing" is similar; in the game, it confuses the opponent, but it also increases their attack power by enraging them.
In reality, it's a "real bluff," making the opponent believe you are extremely powerful, thus instilling fear, and then unleashing an energy wave capable of causing mental chaos...
However, if the opponent realizes that it's a "bluff," then the opponent will feel like they've been tricked, and become angry, which is equivalent to becoming stronger and increasing their attack power...
Although it's a bit abstract, if you break it down carefully, that's exactly what it is.
As things stand, unless these two moves reach a higher level, or Incineroar's oppressive aura undergoes a qualitative change, relying solely on intimidating moves won't be enough to defeat a powerful Pokémon like Metagross!
No sooner said than done.
Metagross was upon Incineroar in the blink of an eye, and at the same time, Whimsicott's support had arrived.
The wind sprite struck a very cute pose and threw out a ball of pinkish-purple energy. It wasn't that it had the leisure to act cute at this time; rather, it was an essential move for the move "acting cute," akin to a ritual.
Ye Yinchuan sighed slightly. Because of the urgency of the battle, he couldn't convey to the Pokémon in detail that Metagross, which has the ability "Clean Body", is immune to moves like "Charm" that lower its attack power!
Fortunately, the Wind Fairy's support abilities at this moment are not limited to this!
"Cotton Defense!"
The wind sprite puffed out its cheeks, making an adorable face as if it was holding back a fart. Then, energy surged, and the cotton on its body instantly bristled, spraying out like a machine gun towards the Fiery Roaring Tiger.
In the game, the "Cotton Defense" move involves wrapping oneself in cotton to greatly increase defense. However, in reality, its uses are more varied. It can be used to directly spit out cotton to interfere with opponents, or to wrap teammates in cotton to block physical attacks...
Although it only formally learned this move after evolving into Whimsicott, it could already spit out cotton when it was still a Cotton Ball. In its battle with "Shadow of the Overlord," it learned the corresponding combat techniques...
Furthermore, during Pokémon training, Ye Yinchuan also discovered a hidden function of cotton...
That is—to be used as fuel for the Blazing Roaring Tiger's flames!
Cotton is flammable, and while the Grass type is weak against the Fire type, it can still start a fire...
Therefore, the current tactics have become clear.
Whimsicott used "Cotton Guard," spewing out cotton infused with a large amount of Grass-type energy to help Incineroar absorb the damage from Metagross's "Charge" attack...
Not only that, but the large amount of cotton and flames can also effectively disrupt the enemy's vision.
The Blazing Roaring Tiger, on the other hand, uses "Charged Flame Strike" and "DD Golden Hook Arm"!
Its entire body burst into flames, transforming it into a demonic form. The evil energy fused with the flames, and with the cotton fueling the combustion, it unleashed an even more terrifying power...
boom!
Bang bang bang!
The Fiery Roaring Tiger swept through everything around it like a fiery whirlwind, colliding with the Metagross.
Body spinning, vicious punches pounding, flames burning...
Furthermore, Whimsicott followed up with a triple combo of "Tailwind," "Growth," and "Help," allowing Incineroar to hold its own against Metagross, a monster of a higher level!
Under such attacks, Metagross's body showed signs of being burned red and softened, and was dented and uneven from being punched so hard...
Clearly, the combined attack of the Blazing Roaring Tiger and the Wind Fairy was extremely effective!
"Fire beats steel, and fighting beats steel... It's a pity Metagross has a 'Clean Body,' otherwise Incineroar's 'Intimidate,' plus Whimsicott's various debuffs, would have made things even more difficult for Metagross!"
Ye Yinchuan felt gratified and delighted by the powerful performance of his Pokémon.
First up is Milotic and Cthulhu's combined attack, "Water Tornado Gun"!
The existing combo skill of Blazing Roaring Tiger and Wind Fairy is "Demon Fire Hook Arm"!
(This is also gender-bending, it's so weird!)
