Axel waved and threw out all of his Pokéballs, and crimson light instantly flashed across the square.
First, Duraludon, Gyarados, and Dragonair appeared all at once.
Right after them were Ho-Oh, Mewtwo, and Glastrier.
The moment they appeared, a continuous series of roars and "kyuu" blended together, making even the entire Dragonspiral Tower tremble.
Mewtwo had a serious expression, and immediately locked onto the opponent he faced last time. A giant spoon appeared in its hand as it stared intensely at the distant Delibird.
Ho-Oh spread its wings and flew, floating above Axel and the others, and emitted flames of a temperature no less than Infernape's, driving away all the snow and ice in the sky.
A flash of light flickered across the metal body of the General (Duraludon), and it stood in front of Axel and Iono, dancing an ancient and desolate dance as its aura rose steadily.
The most excited of all was Glastrier.
Ever since his trainer died, he hadn't fought such a large-scale battle in a long time.
'This wave is the "showing-off" moment!'
Under his authority, an even stronger howling cold wind appeared, with hail and snow charging in the opposite direction toward Pryce's camp.
Gyarados and Dragonair instantly returned to position, turning into two circles that hovered beside Glastrier.
After a brief preparation, a huge altar made of ice crystals appeared in front of Glastrier.
Glastrier stepped onto the altar on snow-lotus flowers, looking down arrogantly at the Pokémon formed of ice in front of him, and the sound of the Vast Sea lightly rang out, ["I am the god of ice and snow. You are all my people, and yet you dare stand before me and launch an attack?"]
["I command you… melt!"]
The moment his words fell, Glastrier lightly stomped a front hoof, and a brownish-yellow energy spread out from beneath his hoof and quickly extended forward.
The whole square trembled slightly, and fine cracks instantly appeared on the icy puppet soldiers that were touching the ground.
Before they could run more than a few steps, they turned into ice shards and fell weakly to the ground.
Iono, who was beside Pheromosa, was completely stunned.
'What the heck?'
After spending a few days with Axel, she now clearly understood Glastrier's personality.
'If there is a chance to show off, he will absolutely do it. If there isn't a chance, he will create one just to show off.'
But in the past, Glastrier only used ice-type abilities to create some visual effects and didn't actually possess strong divine power.
'But now…'
'You actually can?'
Seeing Iono's mouth open in surprise, Glastrier showed a wicked and arrogant smile.
'This wave is a big success!'
He never expected that after thousands of years, someone would actually comprehend Napoleon's technique of creating puppet soldiers.
It's just that the appearance of the soldiers had been changed into Pokémon.
However, this technique had one fatal flaw: the internal structure of these "soldiers" was very fragile; if they were hit by a vibration of the same frequency, they would be easily destroyed.
Back then, in order to crack this tactic, they had researched many types of frequency resonance.
Looking at the Glastrier that appeared next to Axel, Pryce almost couldn't catch his breath.
'Damn it, I really want to curse!'
'Why is it that all the good things end up in Axel's hands?'
'It's understandable that Rocket Team gave him a Mewtwo, but Axel hasn't joined my camp, so why did he get to snatch my Glastrier?'
'And this Glastrier actually seems to have some research on puppet techniques too.'
'This is just ridiculous!'
"Axel, very good!", Pryce gritted his teeth, and the mask on his face morphed into a ferocious expression, as if he wanted to eat someone alive, "Snatching the Pokémon I've always been chasing after, and even using this Pokémon to attack me?"
"But… a single Glastrier is not enough!"
"Your Mewtwo may be able to pin down one of my Pokémon, but Flint's Infernape is far inferior."
"Looking down on my monkey bro?", Axel grinned, "Then today I'll show you how to properly use Infernape."
"Mewtwo, keep your eyes on Delibird."
"Glastrier, you've shown off enough, come back. Gardevoir, transform!"
Feeling Axel's thoughts, Gardevoir raised the corners of her mouth slightly and gently took Axel's arm as they landed on Glastrier.
Butterflies formed of ice and fairy energy danced in the air, completely replacing the storm and hail between heaven and earth.
A sci-fi-style pink armor appeared out of thin air, and an icy lance formed in Gardevoir's hand.
Axel gently wrapped an arm around Gardevoir's waist and dashed past Piloswine, rushing toward Delibird and Pryce.
Seeing the changes on Gardevoir, Pryce's brain clearly couldn't keep up anymore.
He knew that Glastrier could transform together with Calyrex, otherwise he wouldn't have cared about a relatively weak legendary Pokémon like Glastrier.
'But now… how is Glastrier transforming together with Gardevoir?'
Moreover, from the aura coming from the other side, it was almost comparable to that Pokémon called Mewtwo.
He stretched out his right hand and, in a nearly trembling voice, spoke his speculation, "Y-Your Gardevoir… is it a descendant of Calyrex?"
"Wrong guess," Axel rested his head on Gardevoir's shoulder and looked at Pryce with a playful expression.
"There's a punishment~"
Seeing her own trainer so unusually excited, Gardevoir's eyes curved like crescent moons, and she very cooperatively threw the lance in her hand.
The Ice-type move, Snow Spear, with power reaching 130.
The moment the lance left her hand, the ice-crystal butterflies dancing in the sky quickly gathered and began transforming the form of the icy lance.
By the time the lance reached Pryce, it had transformed into a massive blade seven or eight meters long and nearly half a meter thick. (A regular cavalry spear is only three to four meters long.)
Around that huge blade, barbs in the shape of butterfly wings were everywhere.
Once it hit, even though the Masked Man's body was made of ice, he would definitely not be able to resist this move.
Piloswine and Delibird reacted quickly and rushed toward Pryce.
But at that moment, Mewtwo and Infernape moved at the same time.
Mewtwo's body vanished instantly from its original spot, and when it reappeared, the giant spoon was already smashing toward Delibird's head.
Delibird had no choice but to engage Mewtwo in a tangle.
Infernape also swung its fist and charged toward Piloswine without hesitation.
Pryce's pupils contracted, and he quickly retreated backward.
Houndour, Ariados, and Gastly emerged from his wide sleeves.
Houndour and Gastly reacted immediately; flames and the light of Protect burst out to resist the icy lance as much as possible.
Once the icy lance dissipated, Pryce was almost scared out of his wits.
Ever since that incident back in his youth, it had been a long time since he was this close to death.
"Delibird, stall Mewtwo. Try to avoid using non-offensive moves."
"Piloswine, hurry up and defeat Infernape, then come help us!"
Hearing Pryce's command, Axel grinned.
'So he's guarding against Mewtwo using Encore and Disable?'
'Although Disable is strong, as long as the opponent keeps attacking, it's hard for Mewtwo to find a chance to chain Encore and Disable.'
Pryce's response does have some effect, but that's about it.
With the Authority of the God of Battle, as long as Mewtwo isn't instantly defeated in a 1v1, it's almost unbeatable.
That's a conceptual-level ability, like "bare-handedly catching a blade within one inch of space".
More importantly—
'The one getting the spotlight today is Infernape!'
"Mewtwo, use your strongest melee ability and pin down that Delibird."
"Gardevoir, don't stop attacking Pryce. Press him together with Dragonair and Gyarados."
"Infernape, listen to my command!"
